3. Additional Capital Contributions Required. Each member shall be obligated to make up any deficit account balance existing at the end of any year or upon liquidation of the LLC.

Assume that (i) no cash distributions were made to any member, except as provided herein, (ii) all income and loss generated during the years of operation resulted from cash transactions, (iii) no depreciation occurred on the capital asset for any year and the fair market value of the asset remained the same at all times, and (iv) the agreement among the members of the LLC also include language that all allocation of income and loss were to be in accordance with the respective interests of the LLC members.
