subsidiaries or in connection with any involvement with any other Person at any
of their request (including serving as a manager, officer, director, consultant

property or services to the Company as shall be determined by the Members
holding a Majority in Interest at the time of each such admission. Schedule I
shall be maintained and amended as necessary to reflect any capital contribution
made by the Members. The failure of the Company to observe any formalities or
