and agents (individually, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, whether joint or several, expenses (including
legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines and other amounts paid in settlement,
incurred or suffered by such Indemnitee, as a party or otherwise, in connection
with any threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and
whether formal or informal, arising out of or in connection with the business or
the operation of the Company if the Indemnitee’s conduct (collectively,
“Claims”):
 
 
22
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(i)           was not a breach of the Indemnitee’s duty of loyalty to the
Company or the Members,
 
(ii)           did not involve acts or omissions not in good faith or that
involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, and
 
(iii)           did not involve any transaction from which the Indemnitee
derived an improper personal benefit.

or threatened Claims as to which indemnification may be sought under this

counsel in relation thereto.

action as to which indemnification may be sought under any provision of this

has failed to assume the defense thereof and employ counsel within a reasonable

Indemnitee has been advised by its counsel that representation of such

by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or potential differing
interests between them.  It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in
connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or
related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general
allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of
only one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such Indemnitees having
actual or potential differing interests with the Company, unless but only to the
extent the Indemnitees have actual or potential differing interests with each
other.
 
(d)      To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to Section 8.1(b),
expenses incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any claim, demand, action, suit
or proceeding subject to this Article 8 shall, from time to time, be advanced by
the Company before the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay such amount unless it is determined that such Indemnitee is
not entitled to be indemnified therefor pursuant to this Article 8.  An
Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this
Article 8  merely because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with
respect to which the indemnification applies, if the transaction was not
otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and the conduct of the
Indemnitee satisfied the conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a).

Company.  No Member shall be subject to personal liability by reason of these
indemnification provisions.
 
8.3      Settlements.  The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any
such action effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
written consent, or if there is a final judgment against the Indemnitee in any
such action, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitee to
the extent provided above from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense by reason of such settlement or judgment.
 
8.4      Amendments.  Any amendment of this Article 8 shall not adversely affect
any right or protection of an Indemnitee who was serving at the time of such
amendment or repeal, and such rights and protections shall survive such
amendment or repeal with respect to events that occurred before such amendment
or repeal.
 
Article 9
Transfers
 
9.1      Registration, Transfer and Exchange.  The Company shall keep at the
Principal Office an original copy of this Agreement in which the Board of
Managers shall reflect all transfers of outstanding Units on successive
amendments of Schedule A that are made pursuant to Article 15; provided,
however, that the Board of Managers shall not reflect on Schedule A any transfer
that is not made in compliance with this Article 9.  The Company may treat any
Person in whose name Units are recorded on Schedule A to this Agreement as the
absolute owner of such Units.  The Board of Managers shall deliver a copy of
each amendment of Schedule A to each Member promptly after each amendment,
provided that, a failure of the Board of Managers to deliver a copy of any
amendment to the Members shall not invalidate such amendment.
 
9.2      Restriction on Transfers.
 
(a)      In addition to any restrictions imposed by the federal securities laws
and any applicable state securities or “blue-sky” laws, no Member may transfer
all or any part of any Unit, whether for consideration or not, and no transferee
thereof shall have any rights in the Company or be or have any rights as a
Member with respect to all or any part of any such Unit attempted to be
transferred, and any such attempted transfer of all or any part of a Unit shall
be entirely null and void, unless(i) the transferee is a Permitted Transferee or
(ii) Members holding at least a majority of the Units that are held by
non-transferring Members consent to the transfer and the admission of such
transferee as a Member and(iii) the transferor and the transferee comply with
the provisions of Section 9.4.
 
(b)      Subject to compliance with Section 9.4, if a Member transfers one or
more Units to a Permitted Transferee, the Permitted Transferee shall become a
Member without any further action on the part of the Company or the Members.
 
(c)           If by operation of law or pursuant to the final decree of a
competent court any Unit is transferred to any Person in violation of the
restrictions on transfer imposed by this Article 9 and such transferee is not
admitted as a Member pursuant to the terms of
 
 
24
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
this Agreement, such transferee shall be merely an assignee with the rights
described in Section 18-702(b) of the Act.  To the limited extent of the rights
described in Section 18-702(b) of the Act, references in this Agreement to
Members shall be extended, where relevant, to include assignees.
 
(d)      The appropriate Company records and any certificates representing the
Units shall be noted to prevent any transfers in violation of this Section 9.2.
 
(e)      No Member may transfer any portion of such Member’s rights in or
obligations to the Company as a Member except pursuant to a transfer of Units.

portion of the Units of a Member pursuant to a levy of execution, foreclosure of
pledge, garnishment, attachment, divorce decree, bankruptcy or other legal
process (or by operation of law resulting from the death, disability,
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of a Member), such Member shall cease to
be a Member with respect to any Units so transferred and the transferee shall
have no right to become a Member or vote in any Company matters unless admitted
by the affirmative vote of all Members and subject to compliance with the
provisions of Section 9.4.
 
9.4      Conditions to Permitted Transfers.  No transfer otherwise permitted by
any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless and until the following
conditions are satisfied (any of which may be waived by the Board of Managers in
its discretion):
 
(a)      The transferor and transferee shall execute and deliver to the Company
such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be necessary or appropriate
in the opinion of counsel to the Company to effect such transfer and confirm the
agreement of the transferee to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement;
provided, however, that in the case of a transfer of Units at death or
involuntarily by operation of law, the transfer shall be confirmed by
presentation to the Company of legal evidence of such transfer, in form and
substance satisfactory to counsel of the Company.
 
(b)      Except in the case of a transfer of Units at death or involuntarily by
operation of law, where no opinion of counsel is required, the transferor shall
furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel, which counsel and opinion shall be
(i) satisfactory to the Company and (ii) at transferor’s expense, to the effect
that:
 
(i)           The transfer will not cause the Company’s status as a partnership
to terminate for federal income tax purposes under Code Section 708 or cause the
Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of
Code Section 7704;
 
(ii)           The transfer is exempt from all applicable registration
requirements and such transfer will not violate any applicable federal and state
laws regulating the transfer of securities; and
 
(iii)           The transfer will not cause the Company to be deemed to be an
“investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
 
25

the transferee’s initial tax basis in the Units transferred and any other
information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required

or returns.  The Company shall not be required to make any distribution
otherwise provided for in this Agreement with respect to any transferred Units
until it has received such information.
 
(d)      The transferee shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses

(e)           If the Entitled Member(s) elect in accordance with Section 9.5(b)
(or a deemed election pursuant to Section 9.5(c)) to reject the offer to
purchase all (but not some only) of the Offer Units at the Offer Price, the
Proposed Transferor shall be entitled at any time during the period of three
months thereafter to sell to the Proposed Transferee all (but not some only) of
the Offer Units at the Offer Price, subject to the requirements of Section 9.2;
 
(f)           Any sale of Units pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall take place at
the Company’s registered office or such other place as the Proposed Transferor
may agree, whereupon against payment of the purchase price therefor (which shall
be made in cleared funds) the Proposed Transferor selling Units shall:

affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial
proceedings.  The Members and the TMP shall use all reasonable efforts to comply
with the responsibilities outlined in Code Sections 6222 through 6231 (including
any Treasury Regulations thereunder and any successor or amendatory provisions
thereto for which a tax matters partner is designated).  Members holding a
majority of the Units outstanding may remove the TMP at any time or the TMP may
resign as TMP at any time, and such resignation or removal shall become

applicable Treasury Regulations.  The successor TMP shall be determined by the
vote of Members holding a majority of the Units outstanding.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
table at Exhibit E, that additional contributions to the capital of the Company
are necessary to conduct the Company’s activities following the additional cash
contributions contemplated to be made by TRER in accordance with Section 11.6
below, the Board of Managers shall first determine the total amount of
additional funding reasonably needed by the Company at that time and each of the
Members shall thereafter promptly make a cash contribution to the capital of the
Company equal to that Member’s share (determined in proportion to the number of
Units held by each Member) of such additional funds; provided, however, that the
maximum cumulative amount of contributions to the capital of the Company that
may be requested by the Board of Managers pursuant to this Section 11.3(a) from
all Members, without the consent of all Members, in the aggregate is $1,000,000.
 
(b)           Any requests for financing of the Company pursuant to Section
11.3(a) shall be made at the same time to the Members in writing following
agreement by the Board of Managers on the terms of the funding (“Funding
Notice”).  The Funding Notice shall specify the total amount required for the
Company, each Member’s proportional share thereof (which shall be on the same
terms for all Members), and the date on which the funding is required (“Funding
Date”).  The Members shall make available to the Company any required funding in
cash or readily available funds on the Funding Date.
 
(c)           If a Member is unable to provide the funding on the Funding Date,
the non-paying Member shall immediately inform the Board of Managers and the
Board shall immediately inform all other Members.  Any of the Members may elect
within a maximum of thirty (30) calendar days of the Board’s notice to cover the
non-paying Member’s further financing obligation in whole or in part.
 
(d)           All additional working capital or other funds required by the
Company in excess of the limits under Section 11.3(a) shall be borrowed or
raised by the Company (and/or its subsidiaries) on such terms as shall be
determined from time to time by the Board of Managers. Any amounts of financing
requested by the Company in excess of the amount referred to in Section 11.3(a)
shall be at the absolute discretion of the Members.
 
(e)           Save as otherwise provided in Section 11.3(a), nothing in this
Agreement shall oblige any Member to provide any financial support or guarantee
or other security in respect of any obligations or liabilities from time to time
of the Company or any subsidiary thereof.
 
11.4           Creditor’s Interest in the Company.  No creditor who makes a loan
to the Company shall have or acquire at any time as a result of making the loan
any direct or indirect interest in the profits, capital or property of the
Company, other than such interest as may be accorded to a secured
creditor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this provision shall not prohibit the
Board of Managers from authorizing the Company to enter a transaction upon
reasonably commercial terms by which a secured creditor, upon an event of
default by the Company, could participate in the profits of operation or gross
or net sales of the Company or in the gain on sale or refinancing of the
Company, all as may be provided in its loan or security agreements.

Board of Managers’ determination of Capital Accounts shall be binding upon all
parties.

(a)      In accordance with the Business Plan and the JV Business, TRER will
make additional cash contributions to the Company in such amounts as set forth
in the Business Plan upon the Company’s achievement of certain milestones (the
“Milestones”) as set forth in the Business Plan.  Upon the receipt of any
additional cash contribution from TRER upon reaching each Milestone, the Company
shall automatically adjust the Units owned by TRER by amending Schedule A such
that TRER owns a percentage ownership in the Units that is calculated as the
cumulative amount of capital contributed to the Company to that point by TRER
divided by $7.0 million multiplied by 0.499.  TRER shall have no obligation to
make any additional cash contributions to the Company pursuant to this Section
if Phase 1 Milestones as set forth in the Business Plan are not met to TRER’s
satisfaction.

Article 12
Allocation of Profits and Losses
 
12.1           Capital Account Allocations.
 
(a)      The Profits or Losses of the Company shall be allocated among the
Capital Accounts of the Members with respect to each Fiscal Year as of the end
of such Fiscal Year in the proportion that the Units held by each Member bear to
the Units held by all Members.  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement,
every item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation of
Profits or Losses shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as
the allocation of Profits or Losses for that period.
 
(b)      Notwithstanding Section 12.1(a), the Board of Managers shall not
allocate any item of loss or deduction to a Member that would cause or increase
a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account in excess of any limited
dollar amount of such deficit balance that such Member is obligated to restore
as of the end of any Fiscal Year, taking into account the amounts and
adjustments set forth in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4)-(6) and shall make special allocations of the Profits or
Losses of the Company among the Members as necessary to cause the allocations
under this Section 12.1 to be respected under Code Section 704(b) and Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(1).  The Board of Managers shall, to the extent
possible and in whatever manner it deems appropriate, make subsequent curative
allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and deduction to offset any
such special tax allocations.
 
(c)      Allocations under this Section 12.1 are intended to meet the alternate
test for economic effect under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)
and, with
 
30
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
respect to any allocations of nonrecourse deductions, are intended to meet the
requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(e).  A “qualified income
offset,” a “minimum gain chargeback,” each as defined in the Treasury
Regulations, and any such other provision that is necessary to cause the
allocations under this Section 12.1 to meet such test and requirements are
incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
 
(d)      The Board of Managers’ determination of allocations shall be binding
upon all parties.
 
12.2           Tax Allocations.  The Board of Managers shall allocate the items
of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax
purposes among the Members in the same manner that such items are allocated to
the Members’ Capital Accounts.
 
12.3           Tax Credits.  All tax credits shall be allocated among the
Members in accordance with applicable law.

12.4           Code Section 704(c) Allocations.  In accordance with Code
Section 704(c), income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property
contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among
the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of
such property to the Company for income tax purposes and its book value for
Capital Account purposes, in the same manner as such variations are treated
under Code Section 704(c).  Any elections or other decisions related to such
allocations shall be made by the Board of Managers in any manner that reasonably
reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.  Allocations pursuant to
this Section 12.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and
shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s
Capital Account or share of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement.
 
12.5           Varying Interests During Fiscal Year.  If any changes in Units
during a Fiscal Year, all Profits and Losses from operations of the Company
during such Fiscal Year, using such methods of accounting for depreciation and
other items as the Board of Managers determines to use for federal income tax
purposes, shall be allocated to each Member based on its varying interest in the
Company during such operating year in accordance with Code Section 706.  The
Board of Managers shall determine in accordance with Code Section 706 whether to
prorate items of income and deduction according to the portion of the Fiscal
Year for which a Member held Units or whether to close the books on an interim
basis and divide such operating year into two or more segments.
 
Article 13
Distributions
 
13.1           Operating Distributions.  The Board of Managers may distribute

at such times and in such amounts as it may determine in its discretion.
 
31
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
13.2           Distributions for Tax Liabilities.  Subject to the limitations on
distributions in Section 13.3, the Company shall make the following
distributions to cover Member tax liabilities:
 
(a)      The Company shall make distributions of money to the Members in
proportion to their respective Units in amounts that the Board of Managers
considers reasonably sufficient to enable the Members to pay the federal and
applicable state income taxes on the income and gain (net of any cumulative tax
benefits produced for the Members by the Company’s losses, deductions, and
credits) that passes through the Company to the Members under the applicable
provisions of the Code (the “Taxes on Pass-Through Income”).
 
(b)           The amount distributed to the Members shall be determined by the
Board of Managers using a good faith approximation of the Taxes on Pass-Through
Income applicable to the Members.
 
(c)      The Company shall make the distributions required above in a timely
manner to allow the tax attributable to the income passed through the Company to
any Member to be paid on an annual basis or on a quarterly basis as necessary
for the Member to pay any estimated taxes due with respect to such income.
 
(d)      All distributions to a Member made pursuant to this Section 13.2 shall
reduce the amount of the next succeeding distribution or distributions that
would otherwise have been distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 13.1
and Section 14.2.
 
13.3           Limitations on Distributions.  Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary in this Article 13:
 
(a)      All distributions made in connection with the liquidation and winding
up of the Company shall be made in the manner provided in Section 14.2.
 
(b)      No distribution shall be made that would result in a violation of
Section 18-607 of the Act.

applicable law;
 
(c)      Failure to resolve a Deadlock in which the Member that served the

in Section 6.3(d).
 
32
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
14.2           Liquidation and Winding Up.  If the Company is dissolved pursuant
to Section 14.1, the Company shall be liquidated and the Managers (or other
Person or Persons designated by the Managers or by a decree of court) shall wind
up the affairs of the Company.  The Managers or other Persons winding up the
affairs of the Company shall promptly proceed to the liquidation of the Company
and, in settling the accounts of the Company, the assets and the property of the
Company shall be distributed in the following order of priority:
 
(a)           To the payment of all debts and liabilities of the Company in the
order of priority as provided by law (other than outstanding loans from a
Member);
 
(b)      To the establishment of any reserves deemed necessary by the Managers
or the Person winding up the affairs of the Company for any contingent
liabilities or obligations of the Company;
 
(c)      To the repayment of any outstanding loans from Members to the Company,
pro rata in proportion to the amounts owed to such Members; and
 
(d)      The balance, if any, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their
positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions,
distributions, and allocations for all periods.
 
14.3           No Deficit Restoration Obligation.  If any Member has a deficit
balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions,
distributions and allocations for all fiscal periods including the fiscal period
during which the liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to
make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such
deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or
to any Person for any purpose whatsoever.
 
14.4           Special Dissolution Provision.  In the event Phase 1 Milestones
as set forth in the Business Plan are not reached, TRER shall have the right to
terminate any additional funding obligations under Section 12.6 and, at its
option, cease to be a Member by surrendering its Units back to the Company.  In
the event TRER opts to terminate any additional funding obligations if the Phase
1 Milestones are not reached, K-Tech shall have the right to operate the Company
and raise additional capital or dissolve the Company.
