borrow more than $10,000 and or to hypothecate, encumber and/or grant a security
interest in any real property owned by the Company.

         Section 3.05 Additional Capital Contributions. Although, in principle,
it shall be the policy of the Company to finance its requirements as fully as
possible out of its assets without necessitating additional Capital
Contributions, contributions of capital to the Company that have not been

follows:

             (a) If the Company, for any period of time greater than sixty (60)
consecutive days, shall experience a Cash Deficit, then the Managers shall
immediately notify the Company's Members thereof and immediately take any and
all reasonable steps necessary to cure such Cash Deficit. The Managers, at their
sole discretion, may attempt to arrange for a loan to be made to the Company,
such loan to be made by any lender acceptable to the Managers (including either
or both Members) upon such terms as the Managers at their sole discretion may


                                       8
<PAGE>

approve. If the Managers for any reason shall not arrange a loan within ten (10)
days of the Members' receipt of the notice of a Cash Deficit, the Managers shall
immediately make a Special Capital Call upon the Members, requiring additional
cash contributions, such that the total of the Special Capital Call is
sufficient to cure the Cash Deficit. Upon receipt by a Member of a notice from
the Managers with respect to a Special Capital Call, the Member shall pay to the
Company the amount of such Special Capital Call within fifteen (15) days.
Failure to pay the Company the amount of a Special Capital Call within such time
shall give rise to the rights provided under Subsection 3.05(c) below.

             (b) If, in the opinion of the Managers, the Company at any time
needs additional contributions of capital for any purpose other than to cure a
Cash Deficit, the Managers shall recommend that Nordic contribute seventy
percent (70%), and Sarkat shall contribute thirty percent (30%) of such capital
as may be required to satisfy the Company's need for additional capital. Subject
to Subsection 3.05(c) below, failure to make any such additional voluntary
capital contribution shall not give rise to any additional rights or remedies
hereunder.

             (c) If either Member shall pay to the Company the amount of any
Capital Contribution under this Section 3.05 and the other Member shall fail to
pay its corresponding Capital Contribution to the Company within ten (10) days
after it is due, then the Company shall return to the paying Member the funds it
paid to the Company, unless, in the sole discretion of the paying Member, the
paying Member shall elect to allow the Company to retain the capital
contribution in exchange for the issuance of additional Shares of the Company in
an amount mutually acceptable to the paying Member and the Managers.

         Section 3.06 Capital Accounts. An individual Capital Account shall be
maintained for each Member. Each Member's Capital Account shall be maintained as
provided in Article IV. No Member shall be paid interest on any Capital
Contribution, and, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member
shall have the right to withdraw or receive any return of any Capital
Contribution. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital
Contribution, no Member shall have the right to receive property other than
cash. In the event of a permitted sale or transfer of Shares, the Capital
Account of the transferor shall become the Capital Account of the transferee.

anticipated expenditures or liabilities of the Company, including, but not

otherwise be respected for federal income tax purposes.

             (d) "Capital Contribution" means the total amount of cash and the

             (e) "Capital Proceeds" means the gross receipts received by the
Company from a Capital Transaction.

             (f) "Capital Transaction" means the sale, exchange, financing,

of the Regulations. Minimum Gain shall be computed separately for each Member,
applying principles consistent with both the foregoing definition and the
promulgations under Section 704 of the Code.

             (h) "Negative Capital Account" means a Capital Account with a
balance less than zero.

             (i) "Positive Capital Account" means a Capital Account with a
balance greater than zero.

             (j) "Profit and Loss" means, for each fiscal year or other period,

<PAGE>

items of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be stated separately
pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or
loss); provided, however, that in the event the Regulations promulgated under
Section 704 of the Code require Book Value of assets to be used in determining
profit or loss, then, for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts in accordance
with such Regulations, the taxable income or loss shall be computed using the
Book Value of the assets.

             (k) "Restoration Amount" means, with respect to each Member: (a)
the Member's share of Minimum Gain and (b) the amount, if any, which the Member
is unconditionally required under this Agreement or by law to contribute to the
Company (including the Member's share of debts of the Company that the Member
has guaranteed and loans made by a Member to the Company).

         Section 4.02  Allocation of Profit or Loss from Operations and
                       Distributions of Available Cash.
                       --------------------------------

             (a)  Available Cash.
                  ---------------

                (i) For the first year of operation of the Company, the Members
             agree that the Company shall make quarterly distributions of
             Available Cash, if any.

                (ii) After the first year of operation of the Company, it shall
             be the policy of the Company to return to its Members as
             distributions that amount of Available Cash as is consistent with
             sound management and the Company's current and anticipated future
             capital requirements.

                (iii) For any fiscal year of the Company in which a distribution
             is made, Available Cash shall be distributed to the Members in
             proportion to their respective share of the Profits for such
             taxable year as determined under Section 4.02(b).

             (b) Taxable Income or Taxable Loss. For any fiscal year of the
Company, Profit or Loss (other than Profit or Loss resulting from a Capital
Transaction, which Profit or Loss shall be allocated in accordance with the
provisions of Sections 4.03(a) and 4.03(b)) shall be allocated to the Members in
accordance with their respective Profit and Loss Allocations.

             (c) Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision to the
contrary in this Agreement, the following provisions shall apply:

                (i) Qualified Income Offset. No member shall be allocated Losses
             or deductions if such allocation causes a Member's Negative Capital
             Account to increase in excess of the Member's Restoration Amount.
             If a Member receives (1) an allocation of Loss or deduction (or


                                       11
<PAGE>

             item thereof) or (2) any Company distribution, which causes such
             Member to have a Negative Capital Account in excess of its
             Restoration Amount or increases a Member's Negative Capital Account
             at the end of any Company taxable year in excess of its Restoration
             Amount, then all items of income and gain of the Company
             (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income,
             including gross income and gain) for such taxable year shall be
             allocated to such Member, before any other allocation is made of
             Company items for such taxable year, in the amount and in
             proportions required to eliminate such excess as quickly as
             possible. This Section 4.02(c)(i) is intended to comply with, and
             shall be interpreted consistently with, the "qualified income
             offset" provisions of the Regulations promulgated under Section
             704(b) of the Code.

                (ii) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in the
             Minimum Gain during any taxable year, then each Member shall first
             be allocated all items of gross income and gain of the Company for
             such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years)
             in an amount equal to the total net decrease in the Company's
             Minimum Gain multiplied by that Member's percentage of the
             Company's Minimum Gain (as determined pursuant to Regulations
             Section 1.704-2(g)) at the end of the immediately preceding taxable
             year. This Section 4.2(c)(ii) is intended to comply with, and shall
             be interpreted consistently with, the "minimum gain chargeback"
             provisions of the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of
             the Code.

         Section 4.03    Allocation of Profit or Loss from a Capital Transaction
                         and Distribution of Capital Proceeds.
                         -------------------------------------

             (a) Taxable Income. Profit from a Capital Transaction shall be
allocated as follows:

                (i) If one or more Members has a Negative Capital Account,
             Profit from a Capital Transaction shall be allocated first to those
             Members, in proportion to their Negative Capital Accounts, until
             all Negative Capital Accounts have been increased to zero; then

                (ii) Any remaining Profit not allocated pursuant to Section
             4.03(a)(i) shall be allocated to the extent necessary so that the
             Capital Account balances of the Members are equal to the amounts
             distributable to them pursuant to Section 4.03(c) (assuming that
             all of the Capital Proceeds after the payment of liabilities are to
             be distributed to the Members).

             (b) Taxable Loss. Loss from a Capital Transaction shall be
allocated as follows:

                (i) If one or more Members has a Positive Capital Account, Loss
             from a Capital Transaction shall be allocated first to those
             Members, in proportion to their Positive Capital Accounts until all
             Positive Capital Accounts have been reduced to zero; then, (ii) Any


                                       12
<PAGE>

             remaining Loss not allocated to reduce Positive Capital Accounts to
             zero pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(i) shall be allocated to the
             Members in proportion to their respective Profit and Loss
             Allocations.

             (c) Capital Proceeds. Distributions of net Capital Proceeds (after
repayment of all debts and liabilities of the Company, including loans from
Members, and the establishment of any reserves that the Managers deem necessary)
shall be made in the following order of priorities:

                (i) First, to each member, in proportion to each Member's
             Adjusted Capital Contributions, an amount of cash equal to the
             amount of that Member's respective Adjusted Capital Contributions.

                (ii) If one or more Members has a Positive Capital Account
             before any further allocation of Profit pursuant to Section
             4.03(a)(ii), to those Members, in proportion to and to the extent
             of their respective Positive Capital Account balances; and, then,

                (iii) The balance to the Members in proportion to their
             respective Profit and Loss Allocations.

         Section 4.04 Liquidation or Dissolution. If the Company is liquidated
or dissolved, the assets of the Company shall be distributed, after taking into
account the allocations of Profit or Loss pursuant to Sections 4.02 or 4.03, if
any, and distributions of cash or property pursuant to Sections 4.02 or 4.03, if
any, to the Members to the extent of and in proportion to the balances in their
respective Positive Capital Accounts.

         Section 4.05   General.
                        -------

             (a) The timing and amount of all distributions shall be as
determined by the Managers.

             (b) If any assets of the Company are distributed to the Members in
kind, those assets shall be valued on the basis of their fair market value, and
any Member entitled to any interest in those assets shall receive that interest
as a tenant-in-common with all other Members so entitled. The fair market value
of the assets distributed in kind shall be determined by an independent
appraiser selected by the affirmative vote of the Members. Based upon the fair
market value, the Profit or Loss for each unsold asset shall be determined as if
that asset had been sold at its fair market value, and the Profit or Loss shall
be allocated as provided in Section 4.03, and it shall be properly credited or
charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members prior to the dissolution of the
assets in liquidation pursuant to Section 4.04.

                                       13
<PAGE>

             (c) For each fiscal year, all Profit and Loss of the Company shall
be allocated at and as of the end of that taxable year. The allocations of
Profit and Loss shall be made within seventy-five (75) days after the end of
such taxable year, or on such other schedule and with such other frequency as
the Members owning three fourths (3/4) of the Shares of the Company shall
approve in a resolution duly presented and voted upon by all of the Members.

             (d) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.05(d), all
Profit and Loss shall be allocated, and all distributions of cash shall be
distributed, as the case may be, to the persons or entities shown on the records
of the Company to have been Members as of the last day of the fiscal year for
which that allocation or distribution is to be made. Unless the Managers agree
to separate the Company's fiscal year into segments, if the Company admits a new
Member or if a Member sells, exchanges, or otherwise disposes of all or any
portion of his Shares to any person who, during that fiscal year, is admitted as
an Additional or Substitute Member, the Profit and Loss shall, except as
otherwise provided in the Code, be allocated between the transferor and the
transferee on the basis of the number of days of the fiscal year in which each
was a Member; provided, however, that in the event of a Capital Transaction or
any other extraordinary nonrecurring items of the Company, Profit, Loss, and
distributions from such events shall be allocated to the persons shown on the
records of the Company as of the date of such event.

             (e) The methods set forth above by which Profit, Loss, and
distributions are allocated, apportioned, and paid are hereby expressly
consented to by each Member as an express condition to becoming a Member. Upon
the advice of the outside accountants or of legal counsel to the Company, this
Article IV may be amended to comply with the Code and the regulations
promulgated under Section 704 of the Code; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall become effective without the consent of those Members who would
be materially or adversely affected thereby.

                                   Article V.
                               MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

Member entitled to vote at the meeting. The notice shall state the place, date,

Notice of such meetings may be given by the noticing party by confirmed
facsimile transmission, first class mail (in which case the minimum notice
period must be increased by three (3) additional days), overnight courier,
personal delivery, or e-mail transmission that is confirmed to have been
received by the recipient thereof.

             (b) Any Member approval at a meeting, other than where unanimous
approval is required, shall be valid only if the specific nature of the proposal
so approved was stated in the notice of meeting or in any written waiver of
notice.

         Section 5.05 Manner of Acting. Unless otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the affirmative vote of Members owning a majority of the Shares
represented in person or by written proxy shall be the act of the Members.

         Section 5.06 Written Consent in Lieu of Meeting. Any action that may be
taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting if a consent
in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by Members having
not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize
or take that action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon
were present and voted. In the event the Members are requested to consent on a
matter without a meeting, each Member shall be given notice of the matter to be
voted upon in the same manner as described above. In the event any Member(s)
owning more than ten percent (10%) of the Shares request a meeting for the
purpose of discussing or voting on the matter, the notice of a meeting shall be
given in accordance with Section 5.04 and no action shall be taken until the
meeting is held.

         Section 5.07 Proxies. The use of written proxies shall be permitted.
Such proxy shall be executed in writing by the Member or his duly authorized
attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Company before or at the
time of the meeting. Unless otherwise provided herein, a proxy shall not be
valid more than ninety (90) days after the date of its execution.

         Section 12.02 Effect of Termination--Right of Purchase. Upon the
occurrence of an event specified in Section 12.01, the Member whose actions or

Agreement (the "Non-breaching Party"), either directly or indirectly through a
qualified nominee, shall have the right by written notice (the "Exercise
Notice") to the Member whose actions or whose Affiliate's actions gave rise to
such termination (the "Breaching Party"), and without prejudice to any other
remedy referred to herein or available under applicable law, to elect to
purchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares of the Company held by the
Breaching Party at a purchase price equal to the Book Value thereof. The
Exercise Notice must be given within thirty (30) days after the Non-breaching
Party receives actual notice of the facts and circumstances giving rise to
termination under Section 12.02. If the Non-breaching Party elects to purchase
the Breaching Party's Shares under this Section 12.02, the Non-breaching Party

and liquidate the Company as expeditiously as possible.

         Section 12.04 Winding Up. Except as provided by law, upon dissolution,
each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its
Capital Contribution. If the Company property remaining after the payment of
discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return
the Capital Contribution of each Member, such Member shall have no recourse
against any other Member. The winding up of the affairs of the Company and the


                                       25

distribution of its assets shall be conducted exclusively by the Managers, which
are hereby authorized to take all actions necessary to accomplish such
distribution, including without limitation, selling any Company assets the
Managers deem necessary or appropriate. All distributions in liquidation shall

balances.

described in the Note.

         Section 13.03 Maturity Date. The "Maturity Date" means January 31,

             (a) Confidentiality. Each Member acknowledges that by reason of its
relationship to the other Member hereunder it will have access to certain
information and materials concerning the Company's or the other Member's
business, plans, methods, customers, and products that are confidential and of
substantial value to the Member or the Company, which value would be impaired if
such information were disclosed to third parties ("Confidential Information").
Each Member agrees that it shall not use in any way for its own account, or the
account of any third party, any Confidential Information revealed to it by the
other Member. The Company shall take every reasonable precaution to protect the
confidentiality of such Confidential Information. Each Member hereby agrees that
it will not disclose any Confidential Information to any other person, firm, or
entity; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not be deemed to
prohibit (i) any disclosure by either Member of information that shall have
become public knowledge other than by means of a disclosure by such Member, (ii)
any disclosure required by court order or regulatory request or otherwise
required by applicable law, or (iii) any disclosure to an officer, director,
auditor, or advisor of such Member who shall be informed by such Member of the
confidentiality requirements of this Section 14.1 and to whom such information
shall be disclosed on the express condition that the recipient of such
information agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 14.1 as if it
were a Member.
