          the Membership Interest is restricted in many ways as set out in the
          Operating Agreement and that in the event of disposition of the
          Membership Interest the undersigned could sustain a loss, either from
          an economic standpoint or as a result of income tax obligations or
          both.

          agrees and promises to pay to the Company the amount set forth above
          in cash at the time of the execution of this Subscription Agreement.

          and legally binding on the parties, and agrees to be bound by all the

          Managers subsequent to the completion of the offering of Class A
          Capital Units, Class B Capital Units and Class C Capital Units, or
          until resignation, disability or death.
