2.CapitalContributions.

(A)     Previous Contributions and Ownership of Units

Such contributions shall be made by the payment by Buhler to the Company of applicable invoices submitted by vendors of the Company and applicable internal costs incurred by Buhler

and accounted for by Buhler to the Managing Member. The aforementioned additional funds are the remaining part of the additional capital contribution by Buhler in the aggregate amount of $1,105,495 as agreed in the Old Agreement, and the $128,683 specified above reflects Buhler’s contributions made and services performed for months ending before April 1, 2005.

The purchase price per Unit shall be determined by a Super Majority vote. The number of Units to which each Member shall be entitled to subscribe shall be equal to a fraction of the total number of Units to be offered, the numerator of which shall equal the then number of Units held by the Member, and the denominator of which shall equal the then aggregate number of Units then held by all Members.

(C)     Capital Call Deficiencies.     In the event a Member fails to subscribe for the full number of Units to which he is entitled under the provisions of subsection (B) above within 30 days after written notice (a “Capital Call Notice”), any other Member or Members who are willing and able to make such contribution may do so in proportion to the then respective number of Units held by them, or in such other proportion as they may otherwise agree.

(B)     Tax Basis Capital Accounts . In addition to the Section 704 Capital Accounts, the Company shall maintain a “Tax Basis Capital Account” for each Member to reflect such Member’s interest in the Company determined with respect to the adjusted basis for tax purposes of Company assets, and in connection therewith shall maintain a set of books and records (the “Tax Basis Books”) in accordance with principles of federal income tax accounting.

(E)Allocations.

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein, any gain on sale of the Brand shall be allocated as necessary so that after reducing the Members’ respective Section 704 capital accounts by any distribution made or to be made pursuant to Section 3(F)(ii), and after then allocating such gain, the Members’ respective Section 704 capital account balances are in proportion to their respective Units.

(iii)     The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a)     Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in minimum gain, as such term is used in Regulation §1.704-2(d), for a Company taxable year, then the Members shall be allocated items of income and gain in accordance with Regulation §1.704-2(f).

(b)     Member Loan Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in minimum gain attributable to nonrecourse liability, as set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i), for a taxable year, then any Member with a share of such minimum gain shall be allocated items of Company income and gain in accordance with such Regulation.

(c)     Qualified Income Offset. If a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation, or distribution, described in Regulation §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to 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.

(f)     Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth herein (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulation §1.704-1(b). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other Profits, Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not been taken into account.

(g)     With respect to property of the Company that is in the Company’s Section 704 Books at a value that differs from the value of such property as reflected in the Company’s Tax Basis Books, allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such property shall be shared among the Members in a manner that takes into account the variations between the Tax Basis Book value of such property and the Section 704 Book value of such property in the same manner as variations between the adjusted tax basis and fair market value of property contributed to a partnership are taken into account in determining a partner’s share of tax items under Code Section 704(c).

(F)Distributions.

(i)     Distributable Cash Flow from operations shall be: (a) allocated among and distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Units; (b) calculated at least annually as of the end of each year (and on any more frequent basis determined by the Company’s Managing Member); and (c) distributed to the Members not later than 90 days after the end of each year.

(G)     754 Election. The Company may elect, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 754, to adjust the basis of the Company property when a Member sells his interest in the Company. If this election is made, then to the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, such adjustment to the Section 704 Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain or loss, as the case may be, and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(H)     Liquidating Distribution. The proceeds of any liquidation sale upon the dissolution of the Company shall be applied and distributed within 90 days after the closing of any such sale in the following order of priority: (i) First, to creditors other than the Members; (ii) Second, to the Members other than for capital; (iii) Third, to the Members in accordance with the positive balance in the Section 704 Capital Accounts of each Member as such Section 704 Capital Account is determined after making all adjustments thereto for the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation occurred, as are required by Regulation §1.704-1(b), such adjustments to be made within the time specified in the Regulations.
