Unless otherwise determined by the Manager or required by the Code, for federal income tax purposes all amounts paid to a Member for services rendered to the Company by such Member pursuant to an employment or consulting agreement shall be accounted for as guaranteed payments (i.e., as an expense to the Company and income to the Member) and not as a distribution of Company cash flow or profits.

Managers shall amend the Company records of Membership Percentage Interests without the further vote, act or consent or any other Person, to reflect such additional capital contribution and resulting modification to each Member’s Percentage Interest

(b) A Member’s Interest shall for all purposes be personal property. A Member has no interest in specific Company property.

4.3 Capital Contributions .

On or prior to the written demand of the Managers, each Investing Member shall contribute to the capital of the Company such Investing Member’s Contribution in the form of cash. Each Investing Member’s Contribution may be used for the payment of Production Expenses and Other Expenses, in the sole discretion of the Managers.

4.4 Limited Liability of Members .

Except as provided in Section 8.4 hereof, no Member shall be required to make any loans or additional contributions to the Company after such Member contributes its Contribution to the Company.

4.5 Investing Members’ Representation .

Each Person executing this Agreement as an Investing Member represents that such Person is entering into this Agreement and acquiring an Interest in the Company for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the distribution, resale, subdivision, fractionalization or disposition thereof. Each Person executing this Agreement as an Investing Member further agrees that it will not resell the Interest acquired by it in the Company without registration of the sale of such Interest under the Securities Act or exemption there from, and that it will not dispose of the Interest acquired by it in the Company unless and until legal counsel for the Company shall have determined in writing that the intended disposition is permissible under this Agreement and does not violate the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any applicable state securities laws. Any Investing Member requesting such a determination shall bear the legal expense pertaining thereto, whether or not it is concluded that the disposition is permissible and not a violation. Finally, each Person executing this Agreement as an Investing Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Managers, the officers, directors and Affiliates of the Managers and the Company from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, including costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements to which any of them may be put or may incur by reason of any breach by such Person of the representations made in this Section 4.5.

4.6 Acknowledgments of Risks by the Investing Members .

Each Person executing this Agreement as an Investing Member understands and acknowledges the following risks associated with the purchase of an Interest in the Company:

(a) Nature of Business . The principal business of the Company will be the creation of the first U.S. exchange to trade fractional interests in cultural art properties. In such a venture the risk of loss is especially high in comparison with the prospects for any

Page 15: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

profit. Investment in the Company therefore is suitable primarily for Persons of substantial means who do not require liquidity in this investment. This is a new and speculative venture and it is impossible to project or predict whether the Company’s Business will commence, and if commenced will result in a gain or loss to the Investing Members. In particular, Investing Members should consider the possibility (i) that Company will not commence operation of the Exchange and its on-line trading system; (ii) that the Exchange and the on-line trading system may become operational but have few trades generated in the interests in the listed objects; or (iii) that the Business may be subject to a cease and desist order or other disciplinary action taken by a securities regulatory authority if the Exchange is determined to involve securities transactions, which the Company does not believe to be the case at this time. Therefore, a Person should not purchase Interests unless such Person is prepared for the possibility of total loss of such Person’s investment.

(b) Restrictions and Limitations on Transferability . The Interests may be acquired for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any resale or subsequent distribution of such Interests. The Interests will not be registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption under the Securities Act that depends in part upon the investment intent of the Investing Members and, accordingly, the sale or other disposition of the Interests may not be made without full compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws. In addition, the Interests only may be fully transferred if certain other requirements are satisfied and with the consent of the Managers, which may be withheld for any reason or no reason, in the Managers’ sole and complete discretion. For these reasons, among others, it is not anticipated that any public market will develop for the purchase and sale of the Interests. Consequently, Investing Members are not likely to be able to liquidate their investments in the Company, even in the event of an emergency.

(c) Other Business Activities of the Managers . The obligations of the Managers to the Company are not exclusive. The Managers and their respective Affiliate businesses may be involved in other projects as well as in other business activities. Liabilities incurred and commitments undertaken by the Managers with respect to projects other than the Company’s Business could adversely affect the Managers’ ability to manage the Company.

(d) Agreements Not Completed . As of the date hereof, the Managers have not entered into agreements with all individuals or entities intended to provide services for the project other than those described herein or in offering materials provided. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into agreements with such individuals or entities on the terms described herein.

(e) Managing Member’s Right to Provide Unaudited Financial Statements . In certain circumstances the Managers may furnish to the Investing Members unaudited annual statements. In that event, Investing Members will not have the benefit of an audit of the Company’s accounts by an independent certified public accountant and will rely wholly upon the Managers’ figures for the determination of their shares of Investing Member Profits and Additional Investing Member Profits.

Page 16: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

(f) Managers’ Conflict of Interest . The Managers, or any company, firm or corporation in which the Managers or any parent, subsidiary or entity affiliated with the Managers is in any way interested, may furnish or cause to be furnished other properties and/or services for the Company’s establishment of the Exchange.

(g) Key Persons . The Company is highly dependent on the experience, ability and services of the current Managers. The loss of services of any of these key persons could harm the Company’s business.

(h) Competition . While the Company is not aware of any competitive business in the U.S., the Company expects that others will attempt to copy and launch similar exchanges to compete with the Exchange. Potential competitors may have greater financial and personnel resources than ours.

(i) Federal Income Tax Consequences . Prospective investors are urged to consult their tax advisors. The Company will be engaged in a trade or business within the United States and therefore, under United States federal income tax law applicable to partnerships, a Member who is not a “United States person” (as such term is defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations) (a “non-United States Member”) also will be considered to be engaged in a trade or business within the United States with respect to its participation in the Company, with the result that such non-United States Member will be subject to United States income tax with respect to its share of the Company’s income that is effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or business in the United States in substantially the same manner as a Member that is a United States person. In addition, the Company will be required to make appropriate withholding of taxes from distributions of such income, and the non-United States Member will be required to file United States federal income tax returns with respect to such income. A Member that is a non-United States corporation may also, in certain circumstances, be subject to a branch profits tax of 30% (unless reduced by treaty) on such Member’s share of effectively connected earnings and profits, as adjusted, as provided in the Code.

(j) Continuing Offering; Possibility that Insufficient Funds will be Invested. This offering is a continuing offering, but there is a minimum investment amount of $1 million set in order for the Managers to accept initial funds for this offering. In this regard, there is no assurance that a sufficient amount of funds will be raised thereafter to cover the cost of getting the Exchange operational, and if made operational, to a point that the Exchange is self-sufficient based on Business generated revenues.

(k) Dilution . In the event that the Company is unable to launch the Exchange within its estimated budget and is required to raise more capital, the raising of such additional Contributions would reduce each Investing Member’s Percentage Interest.

Page 17: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

Page 19: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

Article 7. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATIONS; CERTAIN TAX MATTERS

7.1 Capital Accounts .

A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of such Member’s Contribution made in cash and (ii) such Member’s allocated share of Net Income of the Company. Each Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (i) the amount of any cash distributions to such Member and the Fair Value (net of Liabilities assumed or taken subject to) of all property distributed in kind to such Member and (ii) such Member’s allocated share of Net Loss of the Company. The Capital Accounts shall be maintained in accordance with the tax accounting principles set forth in the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code.

7.2 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss .

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, after giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 7.4, the Capital Account balance of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 8.2 if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed, in accordance with Section 8.2, to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Non-recourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

7.3 Tax Allocations .

For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocations of the corresponding items for Capital Account purposes under Sections 7.2 and 7.4, except that items with respect to which there is a difference between tax and book basis will be allocated in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, the Treasury Regulations thereunder and Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

7.4 Regulatory Allocations .

(a) Regulatory Compliance . The provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 8.2 and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulation. In furtherance of the foregoing, this Agreement shall be deemed to include a “qualified income offset” in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d), a “minimum gain chargeback” in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-

Page 20: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

2(f), and a “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704- 2(i)(4). The Managers shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to Section 7.2 if necessary in order to comply with section 704 of the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder; provided, that no such change shall affect any amount distributable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) No Negative Balance in Capital Accounts . Notwithstanding any provision set forth in Section 7.2, no item of deduction or loss shall be allocated to a Member to the extent the allocation would cause a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account (after taking into account the adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulation sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) that exceeds the amount that such Member would be required to reimburse the Company pursuant to this Agreement or under applicable law plus such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Non-recourse Debt Minimum Gain. In the event some but not all of the Members would otherwise have such excess Capital Account deficits as a consequence of such an allocation of loss or deduction, the limitation set forth in this Section (b) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible deduction or loss to each Member under Treasury Regulation section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d). All deductions and losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 7.4(b) shall be allocated to the Member pro rata. In the event any loss or deduction shall be specially allocated to a Member pursuant to either of the two preceding sentences, an equal amount of income of the Company shall be specially allocated to such Member prior to any allocation pursuant to Section 7.2.

(c) Curative Allocations . The allocations set forth in Sections 7.4(a) and (b) of this Agreement (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 7, the Managers shall be authorized to make, in their sole discretion, appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to this Agreement (i) in order to comply with section 704 of the Code or applicable Treasury Regulations or as the Managers may deem appropriate in their sole discretion, (ii) to properly allocate items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit to those Members who bear the economic burden or benefit associated therewith, or (iii) to otherwise cause the Members to achieve the economic objectives underlying this Agreement as reasonably determined by the Managers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that there are any changes after the date of this Agreement in applicable tax law, regulations or interpretation, or any errors, ambiguities, inconsistencies or omissions in this Agreement with respect to allocations to be made to Capital Accounts which would, individually or in the aggregate, cause the Members not to achieve in any material respect the economic objectives underlying this Agreement, the Managers may in their sole discretion make appropriate adjustments to such allocations in order to achieve or approximate such economic objectives.

(d) Adjustments of Capital Accounts . The Capital Accounts of the Members may, at the sole discretion of the Managers, be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation

Page 21: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), and thereafter maintained in accordance with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), to reflect the fair market value of Company property whenever an interest in the Company is relinquished to the Company, whenever an Additional Investing Member is admitted to the Company and the amount of capital contributed by such Member upon its admission reflects changes in the value of Company assets, upon a liquidation of the company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(g) (but not a termination of the Company pursuant to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code), and when the Company is wound up pursuant to Article 12, and shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) in the case of a distribution of more than a de minimis amount of property (other than cash).

(e) Interim Allocations Due to Change in Interest . In the event of a change in a Member’s Interest or if all or part of a Member’s Interest is the subject of a transfer pursuant to the terms of the Agreement during any Fiscal Year, the amount of Net Income and Net Loss to be allocated to the affected Members for such entire Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the portion of such Fiscal Year which precedes the date of such Transfer or change (and if there shall have been a prior transfer or change in such Fiscal Year, which commences on the date of such prior transfer or change) and to the portion of such Fiscal Year which occurs on and after the date of such Transfer or change (and if there shall be a subsequent Transfer or change in such Fiscal Year, which precedes the date of such subsequent Transfer or change), in proportion to the number of days in each such portion or, in the case of a transfer, in accordance with an interim closing of the books at the election and the expense of the parties to the transfer, and the amounts of the items so allocated to each such portion shall be credited or charged to the Members in proportion to their respective Interests during each such portion of the Fiscal Year in question. Such allocation shall be made without regard to the date, amount or receipt of any distributions that may have been made with respect to the transferred Percentage Interest. As of the date of such transfer, the transferee Member shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Member.

7.5 Reimbursement of Expenses .

The Company shall reimburse the Managers for all ordinary and necessary expenses incurred by the Managers on behalf of the Company, upon presentation of copies of invoices or other documents reasonably evidencing the amount and nature of such expenses. The determination of the Managers of which expenses may be reimbursed to a Member, and of the amount thereof, shall be conclusive. Such reimbursed amounts shall be treated as expenses of the Company that shall be deducted in calculating Net Income and shall not be deemed to constitute a distributive share of Net Income or a distribution or return of capital to the Managing Member.

Cash Flow, if any, for each calendar quarter ending after the official launch of the Exchange shall be distributed within ninety (90) days following the end of such calendar quarter to all holders of Interests in accordance with their percentage interests.

(b) Prompt notice shall be given to the Members upon receipt of advice that the Internal Revenue Service or another taxing authority intends to examine any income tax returns or records or books of the Company and of any notice from the Internal Revenue Service in any administrative proceeding at the Company level relating to the determination of any Company item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, in each case together with a copy of such Internal Revenue Service notice. Each Investing Member, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that any action taken by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any United States federal, state or local tax audit of the Company will be binding upon the Investing Members. This Section 9.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(c) Each Investing Member further agrees that it will not treat any Company item inconsistently on its individual income tax return with the treatment of the item on the Company return and that it will not independently act with respect to tax audits or tax litigation affecting the Company, unless previously authorized to do so in writing by the Tax Matters Partner, which authorization may be withheld in the complete discretion of the Tax Matters Partner.

A copy of such returns shall be furnished to each of the Members.

9.6 Withholding .

(c) A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid.

10.3 Duties and Liabilities of Covered Persons .

(a) To the extent that, at law or in equity, any Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities related thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(b) Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between Covered Persons, or (ii) whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that a Covered Person shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Company or any Member, the Covered Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, taking such action or providing such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles.

Page 26: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no indemnification shall be provided to or on behalf of any Covered Person if and to the extent that a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to such Covered Person establishes that (i) the acts of such Covered Person constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct which, in either case, was material to such judgment or other final adjudication or (ii) such Covered Person personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which such Covered Person was not legally entitled.

(b) Any indemnification under sub-Section (a) of this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific instance upon a determination that the indemnification of the Covered Person is proper under the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 10.3 hereof. Such determination shall be made by the Managers or, if the Managers so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. Any indemnification payment shall be payable only out of and to the extent of the Company’s assets, and no Covered Person shall have any liability therefor.

(c) The Company shall, in the discretion of the Managers, pay expenses incurred in defending any action, suit or proceeding described in sub-Section (a) above (including reasonable legal fees and expenses of counsel and other experts) in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking, in form satisfactory to the Managers or the Company’s legal counsel, to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized by paragraph (a) above.

Page 27: Limited Liability Company Agreement INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL & ART PROPERTY ENTERPRISE, LLC

(d) The indemnification provided by this Section 10.4 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement, determination of the Managers or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and reimbursement or advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 10.4 shall continue as to a Covered Person who has ceased to be a Member, officer, employee or agent (or other person indemnified hereunder) and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, legatees and distributees of such person.

(e) The provisions of this Section 10.4 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 10.4 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No repeal or modification of this Section 10.4 shall affect any rights or obligations with respect to any state of facts then or theretofore existing or thereafter arising or any proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon such state of facts.

10.5 Insurance .

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the Managers shall, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Managers shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Managers, on behalf of the Company, and/or the Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 10.4 hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

Article 11. TRANSFERS

11.1 General Restrictions .

No Member shall directly or indirectly, sell, exchange, transfer, assign, pledge, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”) all or any fraction of its Interest in the Company without the express written consent of the Managers.

(a) Interests shall be assignable. However, no assignee of an Investing Member or an Additional Investing member shall have the right to become a substituted Investing Member or substituted Additional Investing Member, as the case may be, in the place of its assignor, nor to exercise any rights or powers of such Member, unless the Managers provide written consent in their sole discretion.
