any Member, in its capacity as a Member, bind or execute any agreement,
instrument or document on behalf of the Company without the prior written
consent of the Managers.

       4.4 MEETINGS OF MEMBERS; WRITTEN CONSENT. The Members do not contemplate
holding meetings; however, meetings of the Members may be held if called by the
Managers in their sole and absolute discretion, at such times and places within
or without the State of California as the Managers fix from time to time. No
annual or regular meetings of Members are required, but if such meetings are
held, they shall be noticed, held and conducted pursuant to the Act. Members may
participate in any meeting through the use of conference telephones or similar
communications equipment as long as all Members participating can hear one
another. A Member so participating is deemed to be present in person at the
meeting. Any action which may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be
taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so
taken is signed by Members having not less than the minimum votes that would be
necessary to authorize that action at a meeting of the Members duly called and
noticed.

            (a) EXCLUSIVE MANAGEMENT BY THE MANAGERS. The business, property and
affairs of the Company shall be managed exclusively by the Managers. Except for

all other actions customary or incident to the management of the Company's
business, property and affairs.

            (b) POWERS OF THE MANAGERS. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Managers, acting in concert but without the need to obtain any

in this Agreement or the Act, shall have the exclusive power and authority to
cause the Company:

                (i)    to do any act in the conduct of its business and to
exercise all powers granted to a limited liability company under the Act,

convenient, desirable or incidental to the accomplishment of the business
purposes of the Company;

                (ii)   to own, hold, operate, maintain, finance, refinance,

accountants, consultants and other advisors of the Company;

                (vi)    to indemnify any Person in accordance with the Act and
to obtain any and all types of insurance;

                (vii)  to borrow money from any Person, and issue evidences of
indebtedness and to secure the same by mortgages, deeds of trust, security
agreements, pledges, collateral assignments or other liens on the assets of the
Company;

                (viii) to negotiate, enter into, renegotiate, extend, renew,

with respect to any loan agreement, commitment, deed of trust, mortgage,
security agreement or other loan document in respect of any assets of the
Company;

                (ix)   to pay, collect, compromise, litigate, arbitrate or

                                       11

<PAGE>


                (x)    to make, execute, acknowledge, endorse and file any and
all agreements, documents, instruments, checks, drafts or other evidences of
indebtedness necessary, convenient, desirable or incidental to the
accomplishment of the business purposes of the Company;

                (xi)   to cease the Company's activities and dissolve and wind
up its affairs upon its duly authorized dissolution; and

                (xii)  to cause any special purpose subsidiary limited liability
company wholly owned by the Company to do any of the foregoing.

            (c) AGENCY AUTHORITY OF THE MANAGERS; DELEGATION BY THE MANAGERS.
Any one Manager shall be authorized to endorse all checks, drafts and other
evidences of indebtedness made payable to the order of the Company and, once
approved as required under Section 5.1(g) or as specifically required elsewhere
in this Agreement, to execute all agreements, contracts, commitments, checks,
instruments and other documents on behalf of the Company. The Managers may also
delegate any or all of their authority, rights and/or obligations, whether
arising hereunder, under the Act or otherwise, to any one or more officers,
agents or other duly authorized representatives of the Company.

            (d) DISCRETION OF THE MANAGERS. In making any and all decisions
relating to the conduct of the Company's business or otherwise delegated to them
by any provision of this Agreement, the Managers shall be free to exercise their
sole, absolute and unfettered discretion so long as such decision was made by
the Managers in good faith for a purpose reasonably believed by them to be in,
or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. The Managers shall not, in
respect of any such decision, be liable to the Company, the Members or any of
their respective Affiliates or constituent owners for any resulting actual or
alleged losses, damages, costs or expenses suffered by them so long as such
decision was made by the Managers in good faith for a purpose reasonably
believed by them to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

            (e) PERFORMANCE OF DUTIES; LIABILITY OF MANAGERS. The Managers shall
perform their managerial duties in good faith and in a manner they believe to be
in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company. In performing their
duties, the Managers shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports
or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, of any
attorney, independent accountant or other Person as to matters which the
Managers believe to be within such Person's professional or expert competence
unless the Managers have actual knowledge concerning the matter in question that
would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

            (f) DEVOTION OF TIME. The Managers shall not be obligated to devote
all of their time or business efforts to the affairs of the Company; however,
they shall devote such time, effort and skill as they deem appropriate for the
management and operation of the Company's affairs.

            (g) DECISIONS OF THE MANAGERS. Except to the extent that this
Agreement expressly requires the unanimous approval of all of the Managers, any
decision or action taken


                                       12

<PAGE>


by a majority in number of the Managers (whether verbally or in writing,
whether in person or by proxy and whether or not at a formal meeting called
pursuant to Section 5.1(h) shall constitute the act or decision of the
Managers.

            (h) MEETINGS OF MANAGERS. Meetings of the Managers may be called by
any Manager or by the Chairperson, President, any Senior Vice-President or
Vice-President or the Secretary of the Company, if any. All meetings shall be
held upon four (4) days' notice by mail or forty-eight (48) hours' notice
delivered personally or by telephone, telegraph or facsimile. A notice need not
specify the purpose of any meeting. Notice of a meeting need not be given to any
Manager who signs a waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an
approval of the minutes thereof, whether before or after the meeting, or who
attends the meeting without protesting the lack of notice prior to the
commencement of the meeting. All such waivers, consents and approvals shall be
filed with the Company records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting. A
majority of the authorized number of Managers shall constitute a quorum of the
Managers for the transaction of business, and except to the extent that this
Agreement expressly requires the approval of all of the Managers, every act or
decision done or made by a majority in number of the Managers present at a
meeting duly held at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Managers.
A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact
business notwithstanding the withdrawal of Managers if any action taken is
approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for the meeting. Managers
may participate in any meeting of the Managers by means of conference telephones
or similar communications equipment so long as all Managers participating can
hear one another. A Manager so participating is deemed to be present at the
meeting.

       The provisions of this Section 5.1(h) govern meetings of the Managers if
the Managers elect, in their discretion, to hold meetings. However, nothing in
this Section 5.1(h) or in this Agreement is intended to require that meetings of
the Managers be held, it being the intent of the Members that meetings of the
Managers are not required.

       5.2 ELECTION OF MANAGERS.

            (a) NUMBER AND TERM. The Company shall have one (1), or such other
number as Onlinefilmsales shall designate from time to time, Manager, who shall
be designated by Onlinefilmsales. The initial Manager shall be Onlinefilmsales.
Onlinefilmsales shall have the right to change the identity and number of the
Manager(s) appointed by it at any time and for any reason, by written notice to
the other Member, and each Manager so appointed shall serve in that capacity
until he or she resigns or is removed by Onlinefilmsales, in its absolute
discretion.

            (b) VACANCIES. Any vacancy occurring for any reason in the number of
Managers may be filled by designation of Onlinefilmsales.

            (a) the sale, exchange or other disposition of all, or substantially
all, of the Company's assets occurring as part of a single transaction or plan,
or in a series of transactions,


                                       13

<PAGE>


shall require not only the approval of the Managers, but also the affirmative
vote or written consent of Members holding at least seventy-five percent
(75%) of all Voting Interests;

            (b) the merger of the Company with another limited liability company
or a corporation, general partnership or limited partnership shall require not
only the approval of the Managers, but also the affirmative vote or written
consent of Members holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all Voting
Interests; provided, however, that in no event shall a Member be required to
become a general partner in a merger with a general or limited partnership
without that Member's express written consent or unless the agreement of merger
provides each Member with the dissenter's rights described in the Act;

            (c) any decision to admit a Person as a Member of the Company shall
require not only the approval of the Managers, but also the affirmative vote or
written consent of all of the Members;

            (d) any decision to compromise the obligation of a Member to a make
a Capital Contribution or to return money or property paid or distributed in
violation of the Act shall require not only the approval of the Managers, but
also the affirmative vote or written consent of Members holding at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of the Voting Interests of all non-interested
Members;

            (e) any act which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary
business of the Company shall require not only approval of the Managers, but
also the affirmative vote or written consent of Members holding at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of all Voting Interests;

            (f) any decision to place the Company into Bankruptcy shall require
not only the approval of the Managers, but also the affirmative vote or written
consent of Members holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all Voting
Interests; and

            (g) any amendment to the Certificate of Formation or this Agreement
shall require not only the approval of the Managers, but also the affirmative
vote or written consent of Members holding at least seventy-five percent (75%)
of all Voting Interests, provided, however, that there shall be no change in the
purpose of the Company and provided further that no amendment will be binding on
a Member that diminishes its rights or increases its obligations unless approved
by such Member.

       5.4 MEMBERS HAVE NO MANAGERIAL AUTHORITY. The Members shall have no power
to participate in the management of the Company except as expressly authorized
by this Agreement and except as expressly required by any non-waivable provision
of the Act. Without the written authorization of the Managers to do so, no
Member shall have any power or authority to bind or act on behalf of the Company
in any way, to pledge its assets or to render it liable for any purpose.

       5.5 TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE MANAGERS, THE MEMBERS OR
THEIR AFFILIATES.

            (a) CONTRACTS WITH AFFILIATES. Notwithstanding that it may
constitute a conflict of interest, the Members who are not also Managers may,
and may cause their Affiliates to,


                                       14

<PAGE>


engage in any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale,
lease or exchange of any property, the lending of money, the rendering of any
service or the establishment of any salary, other compensation or other terms
of employment) with the Company so long as that transaction is not expressly
prohibited by this Agreement, the transaction is approved by the Managers and
the transaction is fair to the Company and is on commercially reasonable
terms.

            (b) CONTRACTS WITH MANAGERS OR AFFILIATES OF THE MANAGERS. The
Members acknowledge and intend that the Managers may provide, or cause the
Company to engage one or more of its Affiliates to provide, any or all goods
and/or services required by the Company in the conduct of its business and may
engage in any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale,
lease or exchange of any property, the lending of money, the rendering of any
service or the establishment of any salary, other compensation or other terms of
employment) with the Company, and that, except only as expressly limited below,
the terms and conditions of any such engagement shall be determined exclusively
by the Managers in their sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all
disinterested Members must approve the terms and conditions of any engagement by
the Managers of one or more of the Managers' Affiliates prior to the Company
entering into such engagement, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

            (c) TREATMENT OF AFFILIATE LOANS AND FEES. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, all principal, interest, costs and expenses owing by the
Company to the Members, the Managers and/or Affiliates thereof in repayment of
loans and all fees, commissions and/or reimbursable amounts payable by the
Company to the Members, the Managers and/or Affiliates thereof shall be treated
in the same manner as liabilities payable to unaffiliated creditors of the
Company and shall be paid and taken into account, as such, before any
Distributions of Distributable Cash are made to the Economic Interest Holders.

       5.6 OFFICERS.

            (a) APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS. The Managers may, at their discretion,
appoint officers of the Company at any time. The officers of the Company may
include a Chairperson, a President or Chief Executive Officer, one or more
Senior Vice Presidents, one or more Vice Presidents, a Secretary, Assistant
Secretaries, a Chief Financial Officer, a Treasurer and one or more Assistant
Treasurers and a Comptroller. The officers shall serve at the pleasure of the
Managers, subject to all rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of
employment. Any individual may hold any number of offices. Officers of the
Managers may serve as officers of the Company if appointed by the Managers. The
officers shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as are typically
exercised by similarly titled officers in a corporation and as shall be
determined from time to time by the Managers. If any such officer is entitled to
a salary for his or her services, however, all of that salary shall be paid by
the Company.

            (b) SIGNING AUTHORITY OF OFFICERS. The officers, if any, shall have
such authority to sign checks, instruments and other documents on behalf of the
Company as may be delegated to them by the Managers in writing.

            (c) ACTS OF OFFICERS AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF AUTHORITY. Any note,
mortgage, deed of trust, evidence of indebtedness, contract, certificate,
statement, conveyance or


                                       15

<PAGE>


other instrument or obligation in writing, and any assignment or endorsement
thereof, executed or entered into between the Company and any other Person,
when signed by the Chairperson, the President or Chief Executive Officer, any
Senior Vice-President and any Secretary, any Assistant Secretary, any
Treasurer, or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company, is not invalidated as
to the Company by any lack of authority of the signing officers in the
absence of actual knowledge on the part of the other Person that the signing
officer(s) had no authority to execute the same.

       5.7 COMPETING ACTIVITIES. The Manager, the Members and the Economic
Interest Holders, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders,
partners, members, managers, agents, employees and Affiliates, may engage or
invest in, independently or with others, any business activity of any type or
description, including without limitation, those that might be the same as or
similar to the Company's business and that might be in direct or indirect
competition with the Company. None of the Company, the Manager, or any other
Member or Economic Interest Holder shall have the right in or to such other
business activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom. None of the
Manager or the Members or Economic Interest Holders shall be obligated to
present any investment opportunity or prospective economic advantage to the
Company or the Manager, other Members or Economic Interest Holders even if the
opportunity is one of the character that, if presented to the Company or the
Manager, other Members or Economic Interest Holders, could be taken by the
Company or any of the Manager, other Members or Economic Interest Holders. The
Manager, the Members and the Economic Interest Holders shall have the right to
hold any investment opportunity or prospective economic advantage for their own
account or to recommend such opportunity to Persons other than the Company or
the Manager, other Members or Economic Interest Holders. The Members and
Economic Interest Holders acknowledge that the Manager and the other Members or
Economic Interest Holders and their Affiliates own and/or manage other
businesses, including businesses that may compete with the Company and for the
Manager's and Members' time. The Members and Economic Interest Holders hereby
waive any and all rights and claims which they may otherwise have against the
Manager and the other Members and Economic Interest Holders and their respective
officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents,
employees and Affiliates as a result of any such activities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the provisions of this Section 5.7 shall be subject to the terms of
the MediaChase Consulting Agreement (a "Related Party Agreement"), and in the
event of any conflict, the terms and provisions of such separate agreement shall
control.

       5.8 PAYMENTS TO MANAGERS AND OTHERS. The Company is authorized to pay any
Person remuneration or reimbursement for goods and services provided to the
Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall pay
the Members, the Economic Interest Holders and their Affiliates for services
rendered or goods provided by them to the Company to the extent that those
Members, Economic Interest Holders or Affiliates are not required to render such
services or goods themselves without charge to the Company, and to the extent
that the fees paid to those Members, Economic Interest Holders or Affiliates do
not exceed the fees that would be payable to independent responsible third
parties that are willing to perform those services or provide those goods.

       5.9 EXPENSES. The Company shall reimburse the Managers and their
Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by them
in connection with the business and affairs of the Company, as well as
organizational expenses (including, without limitation,


                                       16

<PAGE>


legal and accounting fees and costs) incurred by them to form the Company and
prepare the Certificate of Formation (other than expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement), subject
to the Managers receiving advance approval from all non-Manager Members in
the case of expenses (or a series of related expenses) in excess of an amount
to be agreed upon by all the Members in any month. The Managers may allocate
to the Company, on any basis selected by them in good faith which is
consistent with good accounting practice, a portion of any and all expenses,
including general, special and administrative expenses, incurred by them or
their Affiliates for the benefit of the Company, subject to the Managers
receiving advance approval from all non-Manager Members in the case of an
allocation to the Company (or a series of related allocations) in excess of
an amount to be agreed upon by all the Members in any month.

            ALLOCATIONS OF NET PROFITS, NET LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

       6.1 MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK. In the event that there is a net decrease in

unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or Distribution described in
subparagraphs (4), (5) or (6) of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury
Regulations, which adjustment, allocation or distribution creates or increases a
deficit balance in that Economic Interest Holder's Capital Account, shall be
allocated items of "book" income and gain in accordance with the provisions of
the "qualified income offset" as described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of
the Treasury Regulations.

       6.4 NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to
the Economic Interest Holders in proportion to their Economic Interests.

       6.5 MEMBER NONRECOURSE DEDUCTIONS. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be

of the Treasury Regulations in accordance with the manner in which the Economic

the Member Nonrecourse Deductions.

       6.6 ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS. The Net Profits for each fiscal period of
the Company shall be allocated to the Economic Interest Holders in accordance
with the following order of priority:

            (a) first, to those Economic Interest Holders with negative Adjusted
Capital Accounts, among them in proportion to the ratio of the negative balances
in their Adjusted Capital Accounts, until no Economic Interest Holder has a
negative Adjusted Capital Account;


                                       17

<PAGE>


            (b) second, to those Economic Interest Holders whose Adjusted
Capital Contributions are in excess of their Adjusted Capital Accounts, among
them in accordance with the ratio of these excesses, until all of these excesses
have been eliminated;

            (c) third, to each Member in proportion to each Member's Preferred
Return Account, until the Preferred Return Account of each is reduced to zero;
and

            (d) finally, to the Economic Interest Holders in proportion to their
Economic Interests.

       6.7 ALLOCATION OF NET LOSSES. Net Losses for each fiscal period of the
Company shall be allocated to the Economic Interest Holders in accordance with
the following order of priority:

            (a) first, to those Economic Interest Holders with positive Adjusted

Adjusted Capital Accounts, until no Economic Interest Holder has a positive
Adjusted Capital Account; and

            (b) finally, to the Economic Interest Holders in proportion to their
Economic Interests.

       6.8 DISTRIBUTIONS BY THE COMPANY. Subject to applicable law and any
limitations contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the Managers may elect from
time to time to cause the Company to distribute Distributable Cash to the
Economic Interest Holders, which Distributions shall be in the following order
of priority:

            (a) first, to each Member in proportion to each Member's Unpaid
Preferred Return, until the Unpaid Preferred Return of each has been reduced to

            (b) second, to each Member in proportion to each Member's Adjusted
Capital Contributions, until the Adjusted Capital Contributions of each are
reduced to zero; and

            (c) finally, to the Economic Interest Holders in proportion to their
Economic Interests.

       6.9 ALLOCATION OF NET PROFITS AND LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS IN RESPECT OF
A TRANSFERRED INTEREST. If any Economic Interest is Transferred or is increased
or decreased by reason of the admission of a new Economic Interest Holder or
otherwise during any Fiscal Year, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or
credit of the Company for that Fiscal Year shall be allocated based on the
"interim closing of the books" method.

       6.10 TAX ALLOCATION MATTERS.

            (a) CONTRIBUTED OR REVALUED PROPERTY. Each Economic Interest
Holder's allocable share of the taxable income or loss of the Company,
depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss with respect to any
contributed property, or with respect to revalued property where the Company's
property is revalued pursuant to Paragraph (b)(2)(iv)(f) of Section 1.704-1 of
the Treasury Regulations, shall be determined in the manner (and as to
revaluations, in the same manner as) provided in Section 704(c) of the Code. The
allocation shall


                                       18

<PAGE>


take into account, to the full extent required or permitted by the Code, the
difference between the adjusted basis of the property to the Economic
Interest Holder contributing it and the fair market value of the property
determined by the Managers at the time of its contribution or revaluation, as
the case may be. The Company shall apply Section 704(c)(1)(A) by using the
"traditional method" as set forth in Section 1.704-3(b) of the Treasury
Regulations.

            (b) RECAPTURE ITEMS. In the event that the Company has taxable
income that is characterized as ordinary income under the recapture provisions
of the Code, each Economic Interest Holder's distributive share of taxable gain
or loss from the sale of Company assets (to the extent possible) shall include a
proportionate share of this recapture income equal to that Economic Interest
Holder's share of prior cumulative depreciation deductions with respect to the
assets which gave rise to the recapture income.

       6.11 ORDER OF APPLICATION. To the extent that any allocation,
Distribution or adjustment specified in any of the preceding Sections of this
Article VI affects the results of any other allocation, Distribution or
adjustment required herein, the allocations, Distributions and adjustments
specified in the following Sections shall be made in the priority listed:

            (a) Section 6.8.

            (b) Section 6.1.

            (c) Section 6.2.

            (d) Section 6.3.

            (e) Section 6.4.

            (f) Section 6.5.

            (g) Section 6.7.

            (h) Section 6.6.

            (i) Section 10.4.

       These provisions shall be applied as if all Distributions and
allocations were made at the end of the Company's Fiscal Year. Where any
provision depends on the Capital Account of any Economic Interest Holder, that
Capital Account shall be determined after the operation of all preceding
provisions for the Fiscal Year.

       6.12 ALLOCATION OF LIABILITIES. Each Economic Interest Holder's interest
in "partnership" profits for purposes of determining that Member's share of
"excess nonrecourse liabilities" of the Company as used in Section 1.752-3(a)(3)
of the Treasury Regulations, shall be equal to that Economic Interest Holder's
Economic Interest.

       6.13 FORM OF DISTRIBUTION. No Economic Interest Holder, regardless of the

Distribution from the Company

in any form other than money. No Economic Interest Holder may be compelled to
accept from the Company a Distribution of any asset in kind in lieu of a
proportionate Distribution of money being made to other Economic Interest
Holder(s), and except upon a dissolution and the winding up of the Company,
no Economic Interest Holder may be compelled to accept a Distribution of any
asset in kind.

                                  ARTICLE VII

                              TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

       7.1 TRANSFER OF INTERESTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth elsewhere herein, no Member may, except as permitted in Section 7.3,
Transfer all or any part of its Membership Interest or its Economic Interest,
for any reason, within the one (1) year period (the "Prohibited Transfer
Period") commencing upon the date hereof. Any attempted Transfer during such
Prohibited Transfer Period shall be null and void ab initio, and the transferee
shall not become either a Member or an Economic Interest Holder. After the
Prohibited Transfer Period, any Member may Transfer all or any part of its
Membership Interest or Economic Interest provided it has complied with Section
7.3. After the consummation of any permitted Transfer of all or any part of a
Membership Interest or an Economic Interest, the Membership Interest or Economic
Interest so Transferred shall continue to be subject to the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, and any further Transfers shall be required to comply with
the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

       7.2 [intentionally omitted]

       7.3 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. At any time after the Prohibited Transfer
Period, if any Member decides to Transfer all or any part of its Membership
Interest or Economic Interest (the "Offered Interest") pursuant to a Bona Fide
Offer, that Member shall give written notice to the Company and to all other
Members (the "Eligible Members"), setting forth in full the terms of such Bona
Fide Offer and the identity of the offeror(s). The Company shall then have the
right and option, for a period ending thirty (30) calendar days following its
receipt of the written notice, to elect to purchase all or any part of the
Offered Interest at the purchase price and upon the terms specified in the Bona
Fide Offer, and the Eligible Members (pro rata in accordance with the ratio of
their Economic Interests) shall then have the right and option, for a period of
twenty (20) days thereafter, to elect to purchase all or any part of the Offered
Interest not elected to be purchased by the Company at the purchase price and
upon the terms specified in the Bona Fide Offer. If all Eligible Members do not
elect to purchase the entire balance of the Offered Interest, then the Eligible
Members electing to purchase shall have the right and option, for a period of
ten (10) days thereafter and pro rata in accordance with the ratio of their
Economic Interests, to elect to purchase the balance of the Offered Interest
available for purchase.


       Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the Company and/or the
Eligible Members do not elect to purchase all of the Offered Interest subject to
the right of first refusal pursuant to this Section 7.3, the Member desiring to
Transfer may Transfer all of the Offered Interest to the original proposed
transferee upon the terms set forth in the written notice provided to the
Company, whereupon the original proposed transferee shall take and hold the
Offered Interest subject to this Agreement and to all of the obligations and
restrictions upon the Member from


                                       20

<PAGE>


whom such Offered Interest was acquired and shall observe and comply with
this Agreement and with all such obligations and restrictions. Any such
Transfer of the Offered Interest to the original proposed transferee must be
effected within ninety (90) calendar days after the date of the termination
of the right of first refusal options provided above. If no such Transfer is
effected within such ninety (90) calendar day period, then any subsequent
proposed Transfer of all or any part of the Membership Interest or Economic
Interest of the Member desiring to Transfer shall once again be subject to
the provisions of this Section 7.3.

       For these purposes, if any consideration offered for the Offered Interest
in the Bona Fide Offer consists of rights, interests or property other than
money or an obligation to pay money, the Managers shall, in good faith,
determine the Fair Market Value of that consideration in monetary terms as of
the date the Bona Fide Offer was received by the Member desiring to Transfer.
The Fair Market Value of that consideration in monetary terms, as so determined,
shall be included in the purchase price payable by the Company and/or the
purchasing Members hereunder, but, in order to exercise their rights of first
refusal granted above, neither the Company nor the purchasing Members need
transfer to the Member desiring to Transfer the actual rights, interests or
property offered in the Bona Fide Offer nor afford the Member desiring to
Transfer the same tax treatment which would have been available to it under the
Bona Fide Offer.

       7.4 [intentionally omitted]

       7.5 [intentionally omitted]

       7.6 [intentionally omitted]

       7.7 REPURCHASE RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY LAW. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary stated herein, the Company's right to exercise any option provided
in this Article VII shall be subject to the restrictions governing prohibited
Company Distributions set forth in the Act and such other pertinent federal and
state laws, rules, regulations or other governmental restrictions as may now or
hereafter be in effect.

       7.8 FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF INTERESTS. In addition to any
other restrictions found in this Agreement, no Interest Holder may Transfer its
Membership Interest, its Economic Interest or any part thereof (a) without
compliance with the Securities Act, the California Corporate Securities Law of
1968 and any other applicable securities laws, and (b) if the Transfer could
result in the Company not being classified as a partnership for federal or state
income tax purposes, in each case as determined by the Managers. Any attempted
or purported Transfer in violation of this Section 7.8 shall be null and void ab
initio, and the transferee shall not become either a Member or an Economic
Interest Holder.

       7.9 SUBSTITUTION OF MEMBERS. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, no transferee of the whole or any part of a Membership Interest
shall become a substituted Member in the place of its transferor unless all of
the following conditions are satisfied:

            (a) the Transferring Interest Holder and the transferee execute and
acknowledge such other instrument or instruments as the Managers may deem
necessary or desirable to effectuate the admission, including the written
acceptance and adoption by the


                                       21

<PAGE>


transferee of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as the same
may have been amended; and

            (b) The transferee pays to the Company a transfer fee which is
sufficient, in the reasonable discretion of the Managers, to cover all expenses
incurred by the Company in connection with the Transfer and substitution.

       7.10 ENFORCEMENT. The Transfer restrictions contained in this Agreement
are of the essence of the ownership of a Membership Interest or an Economic
Interest. Upon application to any court of competent jurisdiction, the Company
shall be entitled to a decree against any Person violating or about to violate
such restrictions, requiring their specific performance, including those
requiring a Member or an Economic Interest Holder to sell all or part of its
Membership Interest or Economic Interest to the Company and/or the other
Members, or prohibiting a Transfer of all or part of a Membership Interest or an
Economic Interest.

       7.11 EFFECT OF TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF AGREEMENT. If, for any reason, a
court refuses to enforce the provisions of Section 7.1 to the effect that a
Transfer in violation of this Article VII is null and void, then, upon any such
Transfer of a Membership Interest or part thereof in violation of this Article
VII, the transferee shall have no right to vote or participate in the management
of the business, property and affairs of the Company or to exercise any rights
of a Member. The transferee shall only be entitled to become an Economic
Interest Holder to the extent of the Membership Interest attempted or purported
to be Transferred to it in violation of this Agreement and thereafter shall only
receive the share of the Company's Net Profits, Net Losses, Tax Credits,
Distributable Cash, and other Distributions to which the Transferring Interest
Holder would otherwise have been entitled.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                  CONSEQUENCES OF MEMBERSHIP TERMINATION EVENTS

       8.1 DISSOLUTION OF COMPANY. The occurrence of a Membership Termination
Event as to any Member other than the last and only remaining Member shall not
dissolve the Company. Upon the occurrence of a Membership Termination Event as
to the last and only remaining Member, the Company shall dissolve unless the
Managers and the successor-in-interest of the last and only remaining Member
consent in writing within ninety (90) days of such Membership Termination Event
to the continuation of the Company and to the admission of such personal
representative or other successor-in-interest, or its designee or nominee, as a
Member.

       8.2 ADMISSION OR CONVERSION. Upon the occurrence of a Membership
Termination Event with respect to a Member under circumstances where the Company
does not dissolve, the Managers shall determine which one of the following shall
occur and give written notice thereof to the remaining Members and to the Member
who suffered the Membership Termination Event (the "Former Member"):

            (a) the Former Member's successor-in-interest shall be admitted as a
Member of the Company in the place and stead of the Former Member to the extent
of the Former Member's Membership Interest (the "Former Member's Interest");
provided, however, that the


                                       22

<PAGE>


Managers may not elect this alternative without the affirmative vote or
written consent of Members constituting a Majority in Interest of all
remaining Members holding at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Voting
Interests of all remaining Members;

            (b) the Former Member's Interest shall be converted to a bare
Economic Interest, and the Former Member's successor-in-interest shall become
the owner of that Economic Interest; or

            (c) the Company, and/or one or more of the remaining Members and/or
any other Person(s) designated by the Managers shall purchase, and the Former
Member or the Former Member's successor-in-interest shall sell, the Former
Member's Interest upon the terms and conditions specified in Section 8.3.

       8.3 TERMS OF TRANSFER.

            (a) TRANSFEREE BOUND BY AGREEMENT. If all or any part of Member's
Membership Interest or Economic Interest has been Transferred to a transferee,
that transferee shall take and hold such Interest subject to this Agreement and
to all of the obligations and restrictions upon the Member and shall observe and
comply with this Agreement and with all such obligations and restrictions.

            (b) NOTICE OF REPURCHASE EVENT. Upon the occurrence of a Membership
Termination Event, the Member affected (the "Transferring Interest Holder")
shall promptly give notice (the "Notice") to the Company and to all Eligible
Members, stating when the Membership Termination Event occurred, the reason
therefor, if applicable, the percentage of the Membership Interest or Economic
Interest so affected, and the name, address and capacity of the transferee, if a
Transfer has occurred. If no such Notice is given within ten (10) days of the
occurrence of the Membership Termination Event, any Eligible Member may
institute the purchase proceedings by giving a Notice to the Company, the other
Eligible Members and the Transferring Interest Holder. For purposes of the
remainder of this Section 8.3, the term "Affected Interest" shall mean the
Membership Interest or Economic Interest which the Transferring Interest Holder
is required to sell to the Company and the Eligible Members pursuant to Section
8.2(c) above.

            (c) OPTION TO PURCHASE. Upon receipt of any Notice, the Company
shall have the right and option, for a period ending thirty (30) calendar days
following the determination of the purchase price of the Affected Interest, to
elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Affected Interest at the
price and upon the terms provided below in this Section 8.3, and the Eligible
Members, pro rata in accordance with the ratio of their Economic Interests,
shall then have the right and option, for a period of twenty (20) days
thereafter, to elect to purchase all or any part of the Affected Interest not
elected to be purchased by the Company upon the same terms and conditions as
exist in favor of the Company. If all Eligible Members do not elect to purchase
the entire balance of the Affected Interest, then the Eligible Members electing
to purchase shall have the right and option, for a period of ten (10) days
thereafter and pro rata in accordance with the ratio of their Economic
Interests, to purchase the balance of the Affected Interest available for
purchase. If the Company and the Eligible Members do not elect to purchase all
of the Affected Interest, the Transferring Interest Holder shall retain all of
the Affected Interest subject to all of the terms of this Agreement.


                                       23

<PAGE>


            (d) PURCHASE PRICE.

                (i)    BY AGREEMENT. Upon the Company's receipt of the Notice,
the Transferring Interest Holder and the Company (acting through the Managers)
shall promptly attempt to agree upon a purchase price for the Affected Interest.

                (ii)   BY APPRAISAL IF NO AGREEMENT. If the Company and the
Transferring Interest Holder are unable to agree upon a purchase price within
thirty (30) calendar days following the Company's receipt of the Notice, they
shall appoint an appraiser as mutually agreed by the parties to value the Fair
Market Value of the Affected Interest as of the date the Membership Termination
Event occurred. The determination of the purchase price in the by the appraiser
shall be conclusive for all purposes and upon all parties.


       The expenses of appraisal shall be borne equally by the Company and
the Transferring Interest Holder. The portion of the compensation and fees
allocated to the Company shall be apportioned, as among the Company and any
Members electing to purchase the Affected Interest, on a pro rata basis to the
amount of the Affected Interest purchased by the Company and each such Member,
respectively.

                (iii)  QUALIFICATIONS OF APPRAISER. The appraiser selected by
the parties shall be reasonably experienced in valuing interests in businesses
similar to the business then conducted by the Company.

            (e) PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.

                (i)    PAYMENT. Except as provided below, the purchase price for
the Affected Interest shall be payable at the option of the Company and each
purchasing Member, severally, either entirely in cash, or partly in cash and
partly by delivery of a promissory note (in which latter case, at least
twenty-five percent (25%) of the purchase price for the Affected Interest shall
be payable in cash at closing with the remainder payable by delivery of a
promissory note). Each promissory note hereunder ("Note") shall be in the form
of a secured promissory note, payable as provided in clause (ii) below.

                (ii)   PROMISSORY NOTES. Each Note shall be payable in four(4)
equal quarterly principal installments over one year, with fixed interest at
Prime. Interest shall be paid quarterly in addition to principal. Each Note
shall provide that the maker of the Note shall have the right to prepay all or
any part of the principal balance on the Note without penalty or premium and
that any sums paid in any period in excess of the regular installment for that
period shall be applied against installments thereafter falling due, in the
inverse order of their maturity or against all of the remaining installments
equally, at the option of the holder of the Note. Each Note shall also provide
that in case of default in the payment of any installment when due, the entire
principal balance then remaining unpaid shall become immediately due and payable
at the option of the holder, and shall provide for the payment by the maker of
reasonable attorneys' fees to the holder in the event suit is commenced because
of any default. Each Note executed by a Member shall be secured by a security
interest in that part of the Affected Interest purchased by that Member. Each
Note executed by the Company shall be secured by a security interest in all of
the property of the Company. So long as no default occurs in the making of
payments on any


                                       24

<PAGE>


Note, the Company and/or the purchasing Members shall have the right to
receive all distributions of Distributable Cash and other Distributions and
all allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses and Tax Credits attributable
thereto. However, upon default by the Company or a purchasing Member in the
payment of its Note, and if that default continues for a period of thirty
(30) days after notice thereof to the Company and/or the purchasing Member,
the Transferring Interest Holder shall thereupon have, in addition to any
other rights or remedies it may have by reason of the default, the right to
receive the distributions of Distributable Cash and other Distributions
attributable thereto (but not the allocations of Net Profits, Net Losses and
Tax Credits attributable thereto, which shall continue to vest until
foreclosure in the legal owners of the Membership Interests or Economic
Interest(s) so serving as security). Any Distributions so received shall be
applied to, and shall reduce, the amount of principal and interest owing on
the Note.

                (iii)  SUBORDINATION OF NOTES. Each Note issued by the Company
shall be subordinated in right of payment to the payment of all Senior Debt (as
defined below) upon such terms and conditions as the holders of the Senior Debt
may determine, and each such Note shall contain subordination provisions which
are approved as to form and substance by all holders of the Senior Debt. For
these purposes "Senior Debt" means financing provided by one or more
institutional or private lenders to fund the Company's business operations. The
parties acknowledge that the Company's ability to make payments under
outstanding Notes may be limited from time to time by any such subordination
provisions, by provisions of applicable law and by provisions of the Articles.
If, as a result of these limitations, the Company is at any particular time able
to make payments under some but not all of its outstanding Notes, it shall
allocate the payments which it is able to make among the Notes on a strict
"first issued, first paid" basis. Each Note issued by the Company shall provide
that no payments of principal or interest may be made thereon at any time that
the Company is in arrears in the payment of principal or interest on any Note
previously issued by the Company.

            (f) CONSUMMATION OF SALE. Unless the parties involved mutually agree
otherwise, delivery to the Company and/or the purchasing Members of the Affected
Interest to be sold hereunder and payment of the purchase price therefor shall
take place at a closing (the "Closing") to be held at the principal office of
the Company within thirty (30) calendar days following the termination of the
last applicable option period. At the Closing, the Transferring Interest Holder
shall deliver to the Company and/or the purchasing Members a bill of sale and
assignment effecting the transfer of the Affected Interest to be sold, in form
and substance satisfactory to the Company and/or the purchasing Members, and
shall deliver, in addition, any other documents reasonably requested by the
Company and/or the purchasing Members to effectuate the purposes of this
Agreement.

                           DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

       10.1 DISSOLUTION. The Company shall be dissolved, its assets disposed
of and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of the following:

             (a) the vote of the Managers and Members holding at least
seventy-five percent (75%) of all Voting Interests;

             (b) the occurrence of a Membership Termination Event as to the

that event;

             (c) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company; or

             (d) the occurrence of an event which makes it unlawful for the
business of the Company to be continued.

       10.2 DATE OF DISSOLUTION. Dissolution of the Company shall be
effective on the day on which the event occurs giving rise to the
dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until the assets of the
Company have been liquidated and distributed as provided herein.
Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company, prior to the termination of
the Company the business of the Company and the rights and obligations of the
Members and Economic Interest Holders, as such, shall continue to be governed
by this Agreement.

       10.3 WINDING UP. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section
10.1, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its
affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the
claims of its creditors. The Managers shall be responsible for overseeing the

(e) discharge or make reasonable provision for any remaining liabilities of
the Company to the Economic Interest Holders, other than on account of their
interests in Company capital or profits, and to the Managers, and (f)
distribute the remaining assets to the Economic Interest Holders in the

<PAGE>

       10.4 LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTIONS TO ECONOMIC INTEREST HOLDERS. The
remaining assets of the Company shall promptly be distributed to the Economic
Interest Holders in accordance with Section 6.8, after taking into account
income and loss allocations for the Company's taxable year during which the
liquidation occurs.

       10.5 DISTRIBUTIONS IN KIND. Any non-cash asset distributed to one or
more Economic Interest Holders shall first be valued at its Fair Market Value
to determine the Net Profit or Net Loss that would have resulted if that
asset had been sold for that value, the Net Profit or Net Loss shall then be
allocated pursuant to Article VI, and the Economic Interest Holders' Capital
Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect those allocations. The amount
distributed and charged to the Capital Account of each Economic Interest
Holder receiving an interest in the distributed asset shall be the Fair
Market Value of the interest (net of any liability secured by the asset that
the Member assumes or takes subject to). The Fair Market Value of that asset
shall be determined by the Managers.

       10.6 PROVISION FOR DEBTS AND LIABILITIES. The payment of a debt or
liability, whether the whereabouts of the creditor is known or unknown, has
been adequately provided for if the payment has been provided for by either
of the following means:

            (a) payment has been assumed or guaranteed in good faith by one
or more financially responsible Persons or by the United States government or
any agency thereof, and the provision, including the financial responsibility
of the Person, was determined in good faith and with reasonable care by the
Managers to be adequate at the time of any distribution of the assets
pursuant to this Section; or

            (b) the amount of the debt or liability has been deposited as
provided in Title 12, Section 1197 of the Delaware Code.

            This Section 10.6 shall not prescribe the exclusive means of
making adequate provision for debts and liabilities.

       10.7 NO LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, upon a liquidation within the meaning of Section

Holder has a negative deficit Capital Account balance (after giving effect to
all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account
adjustments for all taxable years, including the year during which such
liquidation occurs), neither that Economic Interest Holder nor the Managers
shall have any obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the
Company, and the negative balance of that Economic Interest Holder's Capital
Account shall not be considered a debt owned by that Economic Interest Holder
or the Managers to the Company or to any other person for any purpose
whatsoever.

       10.8 LIMITATIONS ON PAYMENTS MADE IN DISSOLUTION. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, each Economic Interest Holder shall
be entitled to look only to the assets of the Company for the return of that
Economic Interest Holder's positive Capital Account balance and shall have no
recourse for its Capital Contributions and/or share of Net Profits (upon
dissolution or otherwise) against the Managers or any other Economic Interest
Holder.

                                   ARTICLE XI

           LIMITATION OF LIABILITY; STANDARD OF CARE; INDEMNIFICATION

       11.1 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. The debts, obligations and liabilities
of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be
solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member,
Economic Interest Holder, Manager or officer of the Company shall be
obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the
Company solely by reason of being a Member, Economic Interest Holder, Manager
and/or officer.

       11.2 STANDARD OF CARE. Neither the Managers nor any Member or officer
of the Company shall have any personal liability whatsoever to the Company or
to any Member, Economic Interest Holder or Affiliate of the Company or to any
Affiliate or constituent owner of any Member or Economic Interest Holder on
account of such Person's status as the Manager or as a Member or officer of
the Company or by reason of such Person's acts or omissions in connection
with the conduct of the business of the Company so long as such Person acts
in good faith for a purpose which the Person reasonably believes to be in, or
not opposed to, the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that
nothing contained herein shall protect any such Person against any liability
to which such Person would otherwise be subject by reason of (a) any act or
omission of such Person that involves actual fraud or willful misconduct or
(b) any transaction from which such Person derives any improper personal
benefit.

       11.3 INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
any Person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative (a "proceeding"),
including an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact
that such Person was or is a Manager, a Member (including in the capacity of
the Tax Matters Partner) or an officer of the Company, an Affiliate of a
Manager, a Member or an officer of the Company, or an officer, director,
shareholder, partner, member, employee, manager or agent of any of the
foregoing, against all judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and
reasonable expenses (including investigation, accounting and attorneys' fees)
incurred as a result of such proceeding, or any appeal therein (and
including, without limitation, indemnification against active or passive
negligence, gross negligence or breach of duty) if such Person acted in good
faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed
to, the best interests of the Company and in criminal proceedings, in
addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
The termination of any such civil or criminal proceeding by judgment,
settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent,
shall not in itself create a presumption that any such Person did not act in
good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or not
opposed to, the best interests of the Company or that he had reasonable cause
to believe that his conduct was unlawful; provided only that no such Person
shall be indemnified or held harmless if and to the extent that the liability
sought to be

                                      30

<PAGE>

indemnified or held harmless against results from (a) any act or omission of
such Person that involved actual fraud or willful misconduct or (b) any
transaction from which such Person derived improper personal benefit. The
Company's indemnification obligations hereunder shall survive the termination
of the Company. Each indemnified Person shall have a claim against the
property and assets of the Company for payment of any indemnity amounts from
time to time due hereunder, which amounts shall be paid or properly reserved
for prior to the making of distributions by the Company to the Members.

       11.4 CONTRACT RIGHT; EXPENSES. The right to indemnification conferred
in this Article XI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to
require the Company to advance the expenses incurred by the indemnified
Person in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition;
provided, however, that, if the Act so requires, the payment of such expenses
in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon
receipt by the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnified
Person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined
that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article XI or
otherwise.

       11.5 INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Company may, to the
extent authorized from time to time by the Managers, grant rights to
indemnification and to advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of
the Company to the fullest extent of the provisions of Sections 11.3 and 11.4
with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of the
Managers, the Members and/or the officers of the Company.

       11.6 NONEXCLUSIVE RIGHT. The right to indemnification and the payment
of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final
disposition conferred in this Article XI shall not be exclusive of any other
right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute or
agreement, or under any insurance policy obtained for the benefit of the
Managers, the Members and/or the officers of the Company.

       11.7 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Article XI is determined
to be unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision shall nonetheless be
enforced to the fullest extent permissible, it being the intent of this
Article XI to provide indemnification to all Persons eligible hereunder to
the fullest extent permitted under law.

       11.8 INSURANCE. The Managers may cause the Company to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any Person (including, without limitation,
the Managers or any Member or officer of the Company) who is or was an agent
of the Company against any liability asserted against that Person and
incurred by that Person in any such capacity or arising out of that Person's
status as an agent, whether or not the Company would have the power to
indemnify that Person against liability under the provisions of Sections 11.3
and 11.4 or under applicable law.
