shall have no power to transact any business in the Company's  name nor have the
power to sign  documents  for or  otherwise  bind the  Company.  Subject  to the

Managers  shall have the power to make all decisions  affecting the business and
affairs of the Company  and to take all such  actions as it deems  necessary  or

     and affairs of the Company,  to make all  decisions  affecting the business
     and  affairs  of the  Company  and to take  all  such  actions  as it deems
     necessary or  appropriate  to accomplish the purposes of the Company as set

     much of  their  time to the  Company's  business  as  shall  be  reasonably
     required in light of the Company's business and objectives. A Manager shall
     perform his or her duties in good faith,  in a manner he or she believes to
     be in  the  best  interests  of the  Company,  and  with  such  care  as an
     ordinarily  prudent  person in a like  position  would  use  under  similar
     circumstances.

          (c)  Board  Composition;  Removal  and  Vacancies.  The  Member  shall
     initially  appoint  three  (3)  Managers  to  the  Board  of  Managers.  If
     additional member(s) are added, the number of Managers shall be adjusted to
     that  smallest   number   possible   that  will  allow  full   proportional
     representation  of  each  member's  membership  interest  on the  Board  of
     Managers. Each Manager shall serve until the earlier of his or her removal,
     resignation,  death  or  retirement.  Each  member  shall  vote  all of its
     Membership  Interest and shall take all other action necessary or desirable
     within its control,  (including without limitation,  attendance at meetings
     in  person  or by  proxy  and  execution  of  written  consents  in lieu of
     meetings),  so that the  designees of other members are duly elected to the
     Board  of  Managers  in  proportion  to the  member's  Membership  Interest
     percentage.  Upon  the  removal,  resignation,  death  or  retirement  of a
     Manager,  or the vacation of office by a Manager for any reason, his or her
     successor  shall be nominated  and elected by the same member as originally
     proposed the former  Manager.  Any successor so elected shall retain his or
     her office  during such time as the former  Manager was  entitled to retain
     the same.

          (d) Restrictions on the Board. The Board of Managers shall not: (i) do
     any act in  contravention  of any applicable law or regulation or provision
     of this Agreement;  (ii) possess Company  property for other than a Company
     purpose;  or (iii) admit any new member(s) without the unanimous consent of

     advance  notice  of the  meeting  need be given.  Meetings  of the Board of
     Managers may be called at any time by any two (2) Managers.  Written notice
     of the  time,  place  and  purpose  of such  meeting  shall  be  served  by

     each  member  of the  Board  of  Managers  and  shall  be  given  at  least
     twenty-four (24) hours prior to the time of the meeting.  No notice need be
     given to any  Manager  if a written  waiver of notice,  executed  before or
     after the meeting by such Manager thereunto duly authorized,  is filed with
     the  records of the  meeting,  or to any  Manager  who  attends the meeting
     without  protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice
     to him. A waiver of notice need not specify the purpose of the meeting.

     Board,  may participate in a meeting of such Board or committee by means of
     conference telephone or similar communications  equipment by means of which
     all  persons  participating  in  the  meeting  can  hear  each  other,  and
     participation  in a meeting  by such means  shall  constitute  presence  in
     person at such meeting.

     which may be, taken at any annual, regular, or special meeting of the Board
     of Managers or  otherwise,  may be taken  without a meeting,  without prior
     notice and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action
     so taken,  shall be signed by all the  Managers  then in  office.  Any such
     written consent may be executed in two or more counterparts,  each of which
     shall be deemed to be an original,  but all of which shall  constitute  one
     and the same document.

          (i)  Delegation of Powers.  Subject to any limitation set forth in the
     Act, the Board of Managers may delegate any of its powers to  committees or

provisions.  If it shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
any provisions  relating to the  distributions and allocations of the Company or

valid and (b) to make the distributions and allocations as closely equivalent to
those set forth in this Agreement as is permissible under applicable law.

execution  and delivery of this  Agreement,  the Member shall be an  "authorized
person" within the meaning of the Act, and shall prepare any documents  required
to be filed and recorded under the Act, and the Member shall promptly cause each
such document  required to be filed and recorded in accordance with the Act and,
to the extent  required by local law, to be filed and recorded or notice thereof
to be  published  in the  appropriate  place in each  jurisdiction  in which the
Company may  hereafter  establish  a place of  business.  The Member  shall also
promptly cause to be filed, recorded and published such statements of fictitious
business  name  and  any  other  notices,  certificates,   statements  or  other
instruments required by any provision of any applicable law of the United States
or any state or other  jurisdiction  which  governs the conduct of its  business
from time to time.

     Section  11.5  Headings.  Section  and  other  headings  contained  in this
Agreement  are for  reference  purposes  only and are not  intended to describe,

provision hereof.

hereafter specify for the purpose by notice. Each such notice,  request or other
communication shall be effective (a) if given by telecopier, when transmitted to
the number specified  pursuant to this Section and the appropriate  confirmation
is  received,  (b) if given  by  mail,  72 hours  after  such  communication  is
deposited in the mails with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid,
or (c) if given by any other  means,  when  delivered  at the address  specified
pursuant to this Section.

     Section 11.8 Books and Records;  Accounting.  The Member or, if  additional
member(s)  are  admitted,  the  member(s)  shall keep or cause to be kept at the
address of the Company (or at such other place as the member(s)  shall determine
