After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.3 and Section 6.4, the Net Loss of the Company and each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit related thereto, for each year of the Company’s operations (except for a Year of Termination) shall be allocated as set forth in Section 6.1(a), subject to the limitation in Section 6.1.(b):

(b) The Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 6.1(a) shall not exceed the maximum amount of losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year.

(1) Among the Members who may receive such an allocation without causing such Members to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year in proportion to their Percentage Interests; and then

(2) Among all the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

6.2 Allocation of Net Profit. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 6.3 and Section 6.4, Net Profit of the Company, and each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit related thereto, for each year of the Company’s operations (except for the Year of Termination) shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

6.3 Special Allocations. Prior to the allocations pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 hereof, items of income, gain, loss and deduction for the Year shall be allocated in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 6.3 to the extent such provisions are applicable, and any items so allocated (except Nonrecourse Deductions) shall not be taken into account in determining Net Profit or Net Loss.

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in the Company’s Minimum Gain, special allocations shall be to the Members to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation § 1.704-2(f).

(b) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Year, special allocations shall be made to each such Member to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4).

(c) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in clauses (4), (5) and (6) of Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), the Member shall be allocated items of the Company’s income and gain consistent with the “qualified income offset” provisions of Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3); provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article III have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. For any Year in which there are allocations of Nonrecourse Deductions or Member Nonrecourse Deductions, items shall be allocated to the Members as a part of the allocations of Net Profit or Net Loss for that year in accordance with the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(e)(2) and 1.704-2(i)(1) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith for all purposes under this Agreement.

6.4 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.1(b), 6.3(a), 6.3(b), 6.3(c) and 6.3(d) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all

Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 6.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Company shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2.

**6.5 Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).** In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of 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 federal income tax purposes and its initial fair market value at the time it was contributed using any method selected by the Members.

In the event the book value of any Company asset is “booked up” pursuant to the provisions of the Regulations, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its booked up value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Members in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5 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.

6.6 Allocations for Year of Liquidation. After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 6.3 and 6.4 hereof, the amount of Net Profit or Net Loss for the Year of Liquidation (or any other year in which all or substantially all of the assets of the Company are sold in a transaction not in the ordinary course of its business), and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction related thereto, shall be allocated to all Members in such manner so that the distributions to each Member upon liquidation pursuant to Section 7.3 shall, to the greatest extent possible, be equal to that amount that each such Member would receive under Section 7.2 if the amounts to be distributed by the Company in connection with such liquidation were instead distributed under such Section 7.2.

6.7 Adjustment Upon Transfer of Member’s Interest or Change in Interest. Unless otherwise determined by the Members, for any Year during which a Member transfers all or part of his Interest, or during which there is a change in the Percentage Interest assigned to any Member, the adjustment for allocation of Net Profit or Net Loss between the transferor and transferee Members or regarding a Member having a different Percentage Interest during portions of the Year, shall be made according to the “pro-rata method” described in Regulations

13 Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii); that is, all such items for the entire Year shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee Members according to the number of days in the Year that the Interest was held by each, or between each Member having a different Percentage Interest according to the number of days in the Year that each discrete Percentage Interest was assigned to that Member.

ARTICLE VII
DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Distribution Procedure. Except as provided in Section 7.3 hereof for final distributions upon liquidation, the Members shall determine when distributions shall be made to Members and the total amount to be distributed.

7.2 Distributions of Available Cash Flow. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.3 hereof, distributions of all or any portion of Available Cash Flow shall be made in amounts and at times determined by the Members, but the Members shall endeavor to make such distributions at least annually. Such distributions shall be apportioned among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

7.3 Distributions Upon Liquidation. Upon liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof, assets remaining after payment of all Company debts and obligations in accordance with the Act shall be distributed in accordance with the positive balance in the Member’s Capital Accounts. In determining the final balance of the Capital Accounts, any assets which are distributed in kind shall be treated as if they were sold at their fair market value, as determined by the Members, with an allocation to the Capital Accounts of the deemed profit or loss on such sale pursuant to Article VI hereof, and with the distribution reducing the recipient Members’ Capital Accounts in an amount equal to the fair market value of the assets distributed.

ARTICLE VIII
ADMISSION OF NEW MEMBERS

8.1 Rights of Unadmitted Assignees. If an Interest is transferred to a Person who is not admitted as a substituted Member pursuant to Section 8.2, such Interest shall automatically be converted to an Economic Interest only, and a holder of such Interest shall thereafter be deemed an assignee for all purposes hereunder, with the same Economic Interest as was held by the transferor prior to the transfer, but without any other rights of a Member unless the holder of such Economic Interest is admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof.

8.2 Admission of Substituted Members. A transferee of an Interest may be admitted to the Company as a substituted Member only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 8.2:

(a) The transferee of the Interest shall, by written instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Chief Manager (i) accept and adopt the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including this Article VIII, and (ii) assume the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to the Transferred Interest. The transferor

Member shall be released from all such assumed obligations except (x) those obligations or liabilities of the transferor Member arising out of a breach of this Agreement by the transferor Member and (y) in the case of a Transfer to any Person other than a Member, those obligations or liabilities of the transferor Member based on events occurring, arising or maturing prior to the date of Transfer; and

(b) The transferee and transferor shall each execute and deliver such other instruments as the Chief Manager reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to effect, and as a condition to, such Transfer, including amendments to the Articles or any other instrument filed with the State of Tennessee or any other state or governmental authority.

8.3 Admission of Additional Members. The Members shall admit no person as an additional Member of the Company after the Company’s formation (an “Additional Member”) except upon the affirmative vote of the Members holding a Majority in Interest of the Members. No person shall be admitted as an Additional Member of the Company until the Additional Member signs this Agreement and agrees to be bound by all of its terms (as it may be amended from time to time).

8.4 Rights and Obligations of Former Members. A Member who Transfers all of such Member’s Interest or whose Interest is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms hereof shall cease to be a Member; provided, however, that such former Member or any Successor shall remain liable to the Company (a) for any obligations of such Member for wrongful distributions under the Act, (b) for any failure to comply with the standards of conduct set forth in the Act and (c) pursuant to any agreements with the Company.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION OF INTERESTS, REPURCHASE OF INTERESTS

9.1 Termination of An Interest. A Member’s Interest shall be automatically terminated on the occurrence of any Terminating Event or Adverse Terminating Event; provided, however, that in the case of an Adverse Terminating Event that is the result of an Involuntary Transfer described in Section 9.4, the Member’s Interest shall be terminated only with respect to such Involuntarily Transferred Interest. Upon the occurrence of any Terminating Event or Adverse Terminating Event, the Governance Rights of the Member whose Interest is being terminated shall be extinguished, and the rights of such former Member or such former Member’s Successor shall automatically be converted solely to an Economic Interest which will be liquidated pursuant to Section 9.3. Upon the occurrence of any Terminating Event or Adverse Terminating Event respecting any Interest described in this Section 9.1, the Company shall cause Exhibit A hereto to be amended appropriately.

9.2 Occurrence of Terminating Event or Adverse Terminating Event.

(a) In the event a Terminating Event shall occur with respect to any Member, within a period of ninety (90) days after such Terminating Event, the Company shall liquidate such former Member’s Interest in the Company pursuant to Section 9.3 below.

(b) In the event the Company determines that an Adverse Terminating Event has occurred with respect to any Member, then the Company shall give written notice thereof to such Member and, within a period of one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of such notice, the Company shall liquidate such Member’s Interest or the portion of such Member’s Interest that was the subject of an Involuntary Transfer giving rise to the Adverse Terminating Event.

(c) If a Member has transferred his or her Financial Rights, but retained the Governance Rights associated with the Member’s Interest, the occurrence of an Adverse Terminating Event or a Terminating Event with respect to the Member shall subject the Interest held by the transferee, as well as the Governance Rights of the Member, to the provisions of Article IX hereof.

9.3 Payment for Terminated Interests.

(a) When any Member’s Interest in the Company is liquidated because of the occurrence of a Terminating Event, the amount the Company will pay for the Interest owned by the former Member shall equal the Member’s Percentage Interest of the Book Value of the Company determined as of the Valuation Date.

(b) When the Company liquidates any Member’s Interest in the Company as a result of an Adverse Terminating Event, the amount to be paid by the Company to such Member shall be One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00). In the event of an Involuntary Transfer that was an Adverse Terminating Event as to a portion of a Member’s Interest, a Member may retain any Interest not the subject of the Transfer.

(c) If the Company liquidates any Member’s Interest in the Company as provided in this Article IX, the Company shall pay any such amounts owed therefor to such former Member or its Successor in a lump sum within ninety (90) days following the Terminating Event or Adverse Terminating Event.

(d) If the Company liquidates a portion, but not all, of any Member’s Interest pursuant to this Article IX, such Interest shall be bifurcated into the portion being retained by the Member and the portion being purchased by the Company, and the determination of the amount to be paid shall be made in the same manner set forth in this Section 9.3, but taking into account only the portion of the Member’s Interest being purchased.

(e) Any determination by the Members pursuant to this Article IX shall be conclusive and binding on all Members and their Successors, subject to judicial review only where the Members acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner.

9.4 Exclusive Right. No Member shall be entitled to claim any further or different distribution upon termination under the Act; the provisions of this Agreement being exclusive.

(b) At any time when there are no Members;

(c) The sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one transaction or a series of related transactions;

(d) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act.

Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the Company shall be wound up and liquidated pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof.

10.2 Continuation Event. Neither the resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any Member nor the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of any Member shall cause the Company to be dissolved or its affairs to be wound up.

10.3 Winding Up of the Company. Upon dissolution of the Company pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, the Chief Manager, or if there is no Chief Manager, such person as is designated by a Majority in Interest of the Members (the Chief Manager or such person being herein referred to as the “Liquidator”), shall proceed to wind up the business and affairs of the Company upon such terms, price and conditions as are determined by the Liquidator in accordance with this Agreement and the requirements of the Act. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and continue to govern the rights and obligations of the Members and the conduct of the Company during the period of winding up the Company’s affairs. The Liquidator, if other than the Chief Manager, shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of Members, all of the powers conferred upon the Chief Manager under the terms of this Agreement to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during such period of time as shall be reasonably required in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Company. The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Company, collect the debts and obligations due to the Company, and pay or provide for payment of all liabilities and obligations of the Company, after which the Liquidator shall distribute the remaining assets of the Company to the Members in the order of priority described in Section 7.3 hereof. The Liquidator may distribute assets in kind; provided, however, that the Liquidator shall determine the fair market value by any reasonable means of all assets so distributed in kind.

17 10.4 Resignation of a Member. If a Terminating Event or Adverse Terminating Event occurs with respect to a Member, such Member’s right to any payments or distributions shall be determined exclusively under the provisions of Article IX hereof with respect to liquidation of the Interest of the Member following a Terminating Event or an Adverse Terminating Event, and no Member shall be entitled to claim any further or different distribution upon resignation under the Act or otherwise.

18 liability. The Tax Matters Member shall promptly give notice to all Members of any administrative or judicial proceeding pending before the Internal Revenue Service involving any Company item and the progress of any such proceeding.

13.3 Construction. Every covenant, term and provision of this Agreement shall be construed simply according to its fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Member. The failure by any party to specifically enforce any term or provision hereof or any rights of such party hereunder shall not be construed as the waiver by that party of its rights hereunder.

13.4 Waiver of Partition Right.
