Membership Interest shall be effective unless and until the transferor obtains

its sole discretion, may approve the transfer of the Economic Interest inherent
in the Membership Interest without approving the transferee as a substitute

of a Membership Interest in the Company shall be made if such Transfer or the

partnership for federal income tax purposes;

Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other applicable federal or state
laws;

default (or an event that, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute a default) under, or result in an acceleration of any Indebtedness or
payment under, any contract, agreement, note, mortgage, loan agreement,
instrument or document to which the Company is a party; or
(d) be a Transfer to an individual who
is not legally competent or who has not achieved his or her majority under the
law of the state (excluding trusts for the benefit of minors).
6.2.1 Substitution
of Members. A transferee of a Membership Interest shall have no right to become
a substitute Member and may become a substitute Member only if all of the
following conditions are satisfied:
(a) the Board of Directors approves in
writing admission of the transferee as a substitute Member, which approval may
be given or withheld, conditioned or delayed (as allowed by this Agreement or
the Act), as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole
discretion;
(b) a duly executed and acknowledged
instrument of assignment that is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Board of Directors is filed with the Company setting forth the intention
of the transferor to Transfer its interest in the Company;
(c) the transferor and transferee
execute and acknowledge such other instruments with such additional covenants as
the Board of Directors may request, in their sole discretion, which shall
include, without limitation, an instrument pursuant to which the transferee
agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; and
(d) the assignee pays to the Company
the reasonable costs and expenses of the Company incurred in connection with
such assignment.
4
6.3
Transfer of Economic Interest.
Upon any approved Transfer of a Membership Interest, unless the transferee is
admitted as a substitute Member, the transferee shall be only an Economic
Interest Owner and shall be entitled only to receive, to the extent assigned,
the distributions and the allocations of income, gains, losses, deductions,
credit or similar items to which the assignor Member would be entitled (the
"Economic Rights"). Except for the Economic Rights, the Economic Interest Owner
shall not have any rights of a Member ("Member Rights"), including, without
limitation, the right to vote or to participate in management or, except as
otherwise provided in the Act, any right to information concerning the business
and affairs of the Company. Further, upon a Transfer of an Economic Interest,
all Member Rights arising pursuant to this Agreement or applicable law which
were inherent in the Membership Interest from which the Economic Interest was
derived, other than the Economic Rights, shall be eliminated and no one,
including, without limitation, the Member who transferred the Economic Interest,
shall have any rights with respect to the Member Rights.
