(b) Where the member has a specific purchase or distribution commitment which has
               been disclosed in detail in writing by the member to CSCS prior to the date hereof and which the
               member  is unable, as a practical matter, to assign to CSCS or the Co-op or which is inappropriate for
               CSCS or the Co-op to assume or which cannot be terminated without penalty by the member;
               provided, however, that the member shall not renew such commitment beyond the expiration of its
               current term without the prior written consent of CSCS or the Co-op;

                              (c) Where legal counsel to the member has advised the member that its commitments
               or the performance of its other duties under this Section could reasonably be expected in a material
               way to violate or breach any applicable material law,  ordinance, rule or regulation  of  any
               governmental body or any material judgment, decree, writ, injunction, order or aware of any court,
               governmental authority to arbitrative panel, and the member has given written notice to CSCS or the
               Co-op of such legal advice; or

                              (d) Upon the proper termination of the Co-op’s Membership Subscription Agreement
               and the member is no longer a member of the Co-op.

                       Section 2.7. Administration Fees.  By virtue of membership in the Co-op, each member: (a)
               agrees that the Co-op  and  CSCS  may  from  time  to  time collect from the member a fee (an
               “Administration Fee”) in consideration of and to fund the Co-op and CSCS’s supply chain  programs
               and services; and (b) authorizes the Co-op and CSCS from time to time to cause suppliers and
               distributors of Goods, Equipment and Distribution Services to collect Administration Fees, as
               authorized by the Co-op's Board of Directors, from the member for the account of the Co-op or
               CSCS.

                       Section 2.8. Liquidation Rights.  In the event of any dissolution or liquidation of the Co-op

               the Co-op and payment of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per share to holders of Common Stock,
               the remaining assets of the Co-op shall be distributed to the holders of  Common Stock on a
               cooperative basis, that is, the Co-op shall return to such members the face amount of outstanding
               patronage equities and distribute the remaining assets to such members on the basis of their past
               Patronage insofar as such distribution is practicable.

                       Section 2.9.  Interim Provisions.   The purpose of this Section 2.9 is to set  forth  the
               procedures for the governance  of  the  Co-op  before the first annual meeting of the  Co-op’s
               stockholders.   Notwithstanding  any other provision of these Bylaws, Art Everson and Franklin
               Carson shall be eligible to be members of the Co-op, and the Co-op has duly authorized and issued to
               each of them one uncertificated share of Series H Common Stock.  In their capacity as the sole
               holders of shares of the Co-op’s capital stock, they have the authority to take any action authorized to
               be taken by stockholders of a Delaware corporation under the General Corporation Law of the State
               of Delaware.  Upon the Co-op’s offering of shares of Common Stock to potential members, the
               shares of Series H Common Stock issued to Art Everson and Franklin Carson shall be exchanged for
               shares of Common Stock in the Series designated by the Co-op’s Board of Directors upon the
               execution by Messrs. Everson and Carson of appropriate Membership Subscription Agreements.  The
