Exemption from Liability Under Section 16(b) Home and Cascade agree that, in order to most effectively compensate and retain Home Insiders, both prior to and after the Effective Time, it is desirable that Home Insiders not be subject to a risk of liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in connection with the conversion of shares of Home Common Stock into shares of Cascade Common Stock in the Merger, and for that compensatory and retentive purposes agree to the provisions of this Section 6.7.

Compliance with Certain Requirements of Regulations; Deficit Capital Accounts In the event the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article X to the Unit Holders who have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).
