                                  ARTICLE VII

                        TAX ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

         7.1      Tax Allocations of Net Profit and Net Losses.

                  (a)      Except as otherwise provided the Company's Net Losses
         for each fiscal year for federal and state income tax purposes shall be
         allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective
         Capital Accounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Company's
         Net Profits for each fiscal year for federal and state income tax
         purposes shall be allocated to the Members as follows:

                           (i)      First, to the Members (or their successors
                  in interest) who have previously been allocated Net Losses,
                  pro rata in proportion to the Net Losses previously allocated
                  to each of them, respectively, until the cumulative amount of
                  Net Profits so allocated equals the cumulative amount of all
                  previously allocated Net Losses;

                           (ii)     Thereafter, to the Members holding Preferred
                  Distribution LLC Shares (pro rata in proportion to the capital
                  contribution originally paid to the Company in respect of
                  their respective Preferred Distribution LLC Shares), until
                  each such Member shall have been allocated Net Profits equal
                  to 150% of the capital contribution originally paid to the
                  Company in respect of such Member's Preferred Distribution LLC
                  Shares; and

                           (iii)    Thereafter as follows:

                                    (A)      49% to Members holding Preferred
                           Distribution LLC Shares, pro rata in proportion to
                           their respective holdings of such Shares; and

                                    (B)      51% to Members holding other LLC
                           Shares, pro rata in proportion to their respective
                           holdings of such other Shares.

                  (b)      Net Losses allocated pursuant to subsection (a)
         hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so
         allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital
         Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. In the event some but
         not all of the Members would have Adjusted Capital Account Deficits as
         a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses pursuant to subsection (a)



                                      A-7
<PAGE>   8


         hereof, the limitation set forth in this subsection (b) shall be
         applied on a Member-by-Member basis so as to allocate the maximum
         permissible Net Losses to each Member under Section
         1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations.

                  (c)      To the extent a Member is allocated Net Losses which
         otherwise would have been allocated to another Member, or a result of
         the application of subsection (b) hereof, then the Member that was
         allocated additional Net Losses pursuant to subsection (b) hereof shall
         be allocated as quickly as possible additional Net Profit in an amount
         equal to such Net Losses.

         7.2      Distribution of Assets. If the Company at any time distributes
any of its assets in kind to any Member, the Capital Account of each Member
shall be adjusted to account for that Member's allocable share of the Net
Profits or Net Losses that would have been realized by the Company had it sold
its assets that were distributed at their respective fair market values
immediately prior to their distribution.

         7.3      Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially
allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate,
to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit
of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to
this Section shall be made only if and only to the extent that such Member would
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided
for in this Article have been tentatively made as if this Section were not in
this Agreement.

         7.4      Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit
Capital Account balance at the end of any fiscal year, each such Member shall be
specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such
excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a
deficit Capital Account balance in excess of such sum after all other
allocations provided for in this Article have been tentatively made as if the
immediately preceding Section and this Section were not in this Agreement.

         7.5      Section 704(c) Allocation.

                  (a)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
         to the contrary, any gain or loss and any depreciation or other cost
         recovery deductions recognized by the Company for income tax purposes
         in any fiscal year with respect to all or any part of the Company's
         property that is required or permitted to be allocated among the
         Members in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and any
         Regulations promulgated thereunder so as to take into account the
         variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property at
         the time of its contribution and the fair market value of such property
         at the time of its contribution, shall be allocated to the Members for
         income tax purposes in the manner so required or permitted.

                  (b)      Any elections or other decisions relating 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 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 net profit, net loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any
         provision of this Agreement.

         7.6      Section 754 Election. In connection with any permitted
transfer of an LLC Share in the Company, the Board of Managers shall cause the
Company, at the written request of the transferor, the transferee or any of the

Regulations Section 1.754-1(b), to make an election to adjust the basis of the
Company's property in the manner provided in Sections 734(b) and 743(b) of the
Code, and such transferee shall pay all costs incurred by the Company in
connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys' and accountants'
fees that are reasonable in the aggregate.

         7.7      Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. As used herein, the term
"Adjusted Capital Account Deficit" means, with respect to any Member, the
Member's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be the deficit balance, if any,
in the Member's Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year or at
any time, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

                  (i)      Credit to the Member's Capital Account any amount
         which the Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of
         this Agreement or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the
         penultimate sentence of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and

         and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations.

The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to
comply with the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

         7.8      Gross Asset Value. As used herein, the term "Gross Asset
Value" means, with respect to any asset, the asset's adjusted tax basis for
federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

                  (i)      The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset
         contributed by a Member to the Company shall be the gross fair market
         value of the asset as determined by the contributing Member and the
         Company;

                  (ii)     The Gross Asset Values of all Company assets shall be
         adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values, as
         determined by the Board of Managers, as of the following times: (A) the
         acquisition of an additional LLC Share in the Company by any new or
         existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis capital



                                       A-9

         contribution; (B) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more
         than a de minimis amount of Company property as consideration for such
         Member's LLC Shares in the Company; and (C) the liquidation of the
         Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g);
         provided, however, that adjustments pursuant to clauses (A) and (B)
         above shall be made only if the Board of Managers reasonably determines
         that such adjustments are necessary or appropriate to reflect the
         relative economic interests of the Members in the Company;

                  (iii)    The Gross Asset Value of any Company asset
         distributed to any Member shall be the gross fair market value of the
         asset on the date of distribution;

                  (iv)     The Gross Asset Values of Company assets shall be
         increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted
         basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section
         743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into
         account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section
         1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) hereof; provided, however, that Gross Asset Values
         shall not be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph to the extent the
         Board of Managers determines that an adjustment pursuant to paragraph
         (ii) above is necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction
         that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this
         paragraph; and

                  (v)      If the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been
         determined or adjusted pursuant to paragraphs (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
         the Gross Asset Value shall hereafter be adjusted by the depreciation
         taken into account with respect to the asset for purposes of computing
         Net Profits and Net Losses.

         7.9      Net Profits and Net Losses. As used herein, the terms "Net
Profits" and Net Losses" mean for each fiscal year or other period an amount
equal to the Company's taxable income or loss for such fiscal year or period,
determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items
of income, gain, loss, or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to
Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the
following adjustments:

                  (i)      Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal
         income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net
         Profits or Net Losses pursuant to this Section shall be added to such
         taxable income or loss;

                  (ii)     Any expenditures of the Company described in Code
         Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(b)
         expenditures pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and
         not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses
         pursuant to this Section shall be subtracted from such taxable income
         or loss;

                  (iii)    In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company
         asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraphs (ii) or (iii) above, the
         amount of such adjustment shall be taken


                                      A-10
<PAGE>   11


         into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for
         purposes of computing Net Profits or Net Losses;

                  (iv)     Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of
         Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for
         federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross
         Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the
         adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Gross Asset Value;

                  (v)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section,
         any items which are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 7.3, 7.4
         or 7.5 hereof shall not be taken into account in computing Net Profits
         and Net Losses; and

                  (vi)     The amounts of the items of Company income, gain,
         loss or deduction to be specially allocated pursuant to Sections 7.3,
         7.4 or 7.5 hereof shall be determined by applying rules analogous to
         those set forth in paragraphs (i) through (iv) above.

         7.10     Special Allocations. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Article:

                  (i)      All Nonrecourse Deductions for each Fiscal Year shall
         be allocated to the Members in accordance with their relative
         Interests.

                  (ii)     All Member Nonrecourse Deductions for each Fiscal
         Year shall be allocated to the Members who bear the economic risk of
         loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt giving rise to such
         deductions, in accordance with Regulation ss.1.704-2(i)(1).

                  (iii)    If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during a
         Fiscal Year, then before any other allocation is made for such Fiscal
         Year , the Members shall be allocated items of income and gain for such
         Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in the amount
         and in the proportions necessary to satisfy the requirements of a
         "minimum gain chargeback" under Regulation ss.1.704-2(f).

                  (iv)     If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain
         during a Fiscal Year, then before any other allocation is made for such
         Fiscal year, the Members shall be allocated items of income and gain
         for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in
         the amount and in the proportions necessary to satisfy the requirements
         of a "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback" under
         Regulation ss.1.704-2(i)(4).

                  (v)      The allocations set forth in subsections (i) through
         (iv) above (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with
         certain requirements of Treasury Regulation ss.ss. 1.704-1(b) and
         1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section (other
         than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory


                                      A-11
<PAGE>   12


         Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of
         income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the
         extent possible, the net amount of such allocation of other items and
         the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net
         amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the
         Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. (b) As used in subsection (a)
         above, the following terms have the following meanings:

                  (i)      Member Minimum Gain means an amount determined by
         computing, with respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, the Minimum
         Gain that would result if such Member Nonrecourse Debt were treated as
         a nonrecourse liability, determined in accordance with Regulation ss.
         1.704-2(i)(3).

                  (ii)     Member Nonrecourse Debt means nonrecourse Company
         debt for which one or more Members bears an economic risk of loss,
         determined in accordance with Regulation ss. 1.704-2(b)(4).

                  (iii)    Member Nonrecourse Deductions means, for each Fiscal
         Year, the Company deductions which are attributable to Member
         Nonrecourse Debt and are characterized as "partner nonrecourse
         deductions" under Regulation ss. 1.704-2(i)(2).

                  (iv)     Minimum Gain means an amount determined by computing,
         with respect to each nonrecourse liability of the Company, the amount
         of gain (of whatever character), if any, that would be realized by the
         Company if it disposed of (in a taxable transaction) the Company
         property subject to such liability for no consideration other than full
         satisfaction of such liability, and by then aggregating the amounts so
         computed. Such amount shall be determined in a manner consistent with
         Regulation ss.1.704-2(d).


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                      such Shares; and

                  (B) 51% to Members holding other LLC Shares, pro rata in

of Managers may provide for retention of a reasonable cash reserve (taking into
account the anticipated future availability of other assets or revenue of the
Company) in an amount that it deems necessary for completing production and
exploitation of the Film and satisfying the obligations of the Company.

Agreement among all the Members.

         15.2     No Partnership Intended for Non-tax Purposes. The Company is
formed under the Act, and the Members expressly do not intend hereby to form a

Limited Partnership Act. The Members do not intend to be partners one to another
or partners as to any third party.

         15.3     Application of Georgia Law. This Agreement, the application
and interpretation hereof shall be governed exclusively by its terms and the
laws of the State of Georgia and specifically the Act.

to execute such other and further statements of interest and holdings,
designations, powers of attorney and other instruments necessary to comply with
any laws, rules or regulations.

         15.7     Waivers. The failure of any party to seek redress for
violation of or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or
condition of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have
originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original
violation.

         15.8     Rights and Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies
provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy
by any party shall not preclude or waive the right to use any or all other
remedies. Such rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the
parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.

         15.9     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one
and the same instrument.

         15.10    Certification of Non-Foreign Status. In order to comply with
Section 1445 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, in
the event of the disposition by the Company of a United States real property
interest as defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations, each Member shall
provide to the Company, an affidavit stating, under penalties of perjury, (i)
the Member's address, (ii) United States taxpayer identification number, and
(iii) that the Member is not a foreign person as that term is defined in the
Code and Treasury Regulations.

         15.11    Withholding.

                  (a)      The Company shall withhold and pay over to the
         Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority, all
         taxes or withholdings, and all interest, penalties, additions to tax,
         and similar liabilities in connection therewith or attributable thereto
         (hereinafter "Withheld Taxes") to the extent that the Board of Managers
         determines that such withholding and/or payment is required by the Code
         or any other law, rule, or regulation, including, without limitation,
         Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code and Section 48-7-129 of
         the Official Code of Georgia. The Board of Managers shall determine in
         good faith to which Member such Withheld Taxes are attributable. All
         amounts withheld pursuant to this paragraph with respect to any
         allocation, payment or distribution to any Member shall be treated as
         amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Article VII hereof for
         all purposes of this Agreement.

                  (b)      If an amount payable to the Company is reduced
         because the Member paying that amount withholds and/or pays over to the
         Internal Revenue Service or other applicable taxing authority any
         amount as a result of the status of a Member, the Board of Managers
         shall make such adjustments to amounts distributed and allocated among
         Members as it determines to be fair and equitable. (For example, if a
         portion of interest income earned by the Company is withheld by the
         payor and paid over to the Internal Revenue Service because a
         particular Member is a non-U.S. Person, the Manger might include such
         withheld and paid over amount in computing amounts

         available for distribution to the Members pursuant to Article VII and
         rate such withheld and paid over amount as if that amount were
         distributed to the Member in satisfaction of whose tax liability such
         amount was withheld and paid over.)

         15.12    Banking. All funds of the Company shall be deposited in its
name in an account or accounts of a financial institution as shall be designated
from time to time by the Board of Managers. All funds of the Company shall be
used solely for the business and affairs of the Company. All withdrawals from
the Company bank accounts shall be made only upon checks or other instructions
signed by the Board of Managers or by such other persons as the Board of
Managers may designate from time to time.

         15.13    Attorney-in-fact. The Members hereby severally designate and
appoint the President of the Company, as the same may be from time to time, as
their agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing on their behalf
and in their stead one or more amendments to this Agreement from time to time
for the purpose of adding new Members to this Agreement in accordance with the
terms hereof, specifying their respective ownership of LLC Shares, and
identifying the consideration to be received by the Company in payment for such
LLC Shares or the Member from whom the LLC Shares are being transferred.

         15.14    Authorization to Transact Business in Other States. The Board
of Managers is authorized, empowered and directed to undertake any and all
actions that may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Company to transact
business in those states in which the Company is required to qualify to transact
business.

         15.15    Determination of Matters Not Provided for in This Agreement.
The Board of Managers shall decide any questions arising with respect to the
Company and this Agreement which are not specifically or expressly provided for
in this Agreement.

         15.16    Further Assurances. The Members each agree to cooperate, and
to execute and deliver in a timely fashion any and all additional documents
necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Company and this Agreement.

         15.17    Time. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO ANY
PAYMENTS, ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS SPECIFIED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be duly
executed and affixed their seals.
