The Company shall notify each of the Shareholders of any and all contributions to the Company ("Contributions") by each of the Shareholders.
2.2 Dresnick Contribution. Dresnick will advance cash sufficient to fund the business plan which has been agreed to by all of the Shareholders. Such cash advances shall be solely at the discretion of Dresnick. At Dresnick’s option, he may personally guarantee any equipment purchases along with the other Shareholders instead of advancing additional cash. If financing such equipment leads to a monthly deficit of cash flow, then Dresnick would be obligated to fund the cash loss to the maximum extent which would have been required under the business plan. The Parties agree that the amount advanced pursuant to this paragraph to date has been $40,000. Such advances shall be considered a loan which shall accrue interest at 12% annually, compounded monthly on the amount of loan outstanding as of the last day of each month. Interest shall accrue but payment will be deferred until cash flow of the Company is adequate to make principal payments
2.1 Additional Internal Capital. The Shareholders shall contribute additional capital to the Company in such amounts and at such time as the Board of Directors shall determine that additional capital is required to perform the business of the Company, to pay its expenses or to maintain a reserve (a "Capital Call). The Shareholders shall contribute any such additional capital as and when reasonably determined by the Board of Directors. Upon such determination, the Company shall give written notice to each Shareholder. The obligation of the Shareholders to make additional capital contributions and pay the Capital Call is not intended to grant rights to any Persons other than the Company to compel such contributions. The Shareholders shall pay the Capital Call in proportion to their respective Shareholder interests. Each Shareholder shall have fourteen (14)' days from the date such notice is given to contribute such Shareholder's share of the. Capital Call to the Company. Each Shareholder shall receive a credit to such Shareholder's Capital Account in the amount of any additional capital contributed by such Shareholder- to the Company. If a Shareholder cannot meet the required additional capital contribution and fails .to pay the Capital Call as and when required by the Company (the ' ."'Defaulting Shareholder"), the remaining Shareholders may contribute the required additional capital on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder (the "Contributing Shareholders"). In such event, the Contributing Shareholders may elect to either treat the additional capital contribution as a loan. to the Defaulting Shareholder, secured by the Defaulting Shareholders shares in the Company and payable with interest at the prime rate of U.S. money center commercial banks as .published in The Wall Street Journal and due and payable thirty (30) days following demand, or, in the alternative, may reduce from the' Defaulting Shareholder's Capital Account a portion of such Shareholder in the. Company corresponding with twice (200%) of the amount advanced on behalf, of the Defaulting Shareholder, and add to the Contributing Shareholder's Capital Account that same amount deducted from the Defaulting Shareholder. Each Shareholder does hereby grant each other Shareholder a security interest in such Shareholder's shares to secure any loan made hereunder.

2.2 Additional External Capital. In the event the Board of Directors feels that raising external capital is more advantageous then raising internal capital pursuant to paragraph 2.2 above, then the Company shall retain the services of an outside organization to raise such funds, Dresnick shall be given the first right of refusal to take on such a project.
