Buy-Sell (a) Either MCG, on the one hand, or the Manager and the Keystone Investor (acting together), on the other hand, shall have the right and the option to implement the buy/sell procedure as set forth in this Section 10.4 if permitted to do so under Section 9.1(e). For the purposes of this Section 10.4, the Manager and Keystone Investor shall be considered one Member.
(b) Any Member which intends to exercise its buy/sell option hereunder (the “Notifying Member”) shall first give notice of its intent to the other Member (the “Buy/Sell Notice”) which Buy/Sell Notice shall (1) contain a statement of irrevocable intent to utilize this Section 10.4, (2) contain a statement of the aggregate dollar amount which the Notifying Member is willing to pay in cash for all of the assets of the Company, free and clear of all liabilities and obligations relating thereto (the “Specified Valuation Amount”) as of the date of the Buy/Sell Notice, (3) disclose all material liabilities and potential material liabilities of the Company actually known to the Notifying Member and (4) disclose the terms and details of any discussion, offer, contract, similar agreement or documents that the Notifying Member has negotiated or discussed during the 180 days preceding the delivery of the Buy/Sell Notice with any potential purchaser or equity provider (but not debt financier) of or with respect to the Project (or any portion thereof). The other Member, after receiving the Buy/Sell Notice (“Receiving Member”), shall have the option to either: (A) sell its entire Membership Interest to the Notifying Member for an amount equal to the amount the Receiving Member would be entitled to receive if the Company sold all of its assets for the Specified Valuation Amount on the date of the Buy/Sell Notice and immediately thereafter the Company paid all liabilities and obligations of the Company (whether or not such liabilities and/or obligations were listed in the Buy/Sell Notice), and deducted customary closing costs (excluding brokerage fees and commissions) that would be associated with a third party sale, and, subject to Section 10.6, distributed the net proceeds and any other Company assets to each Member in liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 11 (any disputes regarding such amounts shall be resolved by the Approved Accountants); (B) purchase the entire Membership Interest of the Notifying Member for an amount equal to the amount the Notifying Member would be entitled to receive if the Company sold all of its assets for the Specified Valuation Amount on the date of the Buy/Sell Notice and immediately thereafter the Company paid all liabilities and obligations of the Company (whether or not such liabilities and/or obligations were listed in the Buy/Sell Notice), and deducted customary closing costs that would be associated with a third party sale, and, subject to Section 10.6, distributed the net proceeds and any other Company assets to each Member in liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 11 (any disputes regarding such amounts shall be resolved by the Approved Accountants); or (C) implement the listing procedures described in Section 10.5, in which case the additional buy/sell procedures described in the remaining provisions of this Section 10.4 shall no longer apply unless and until the buy/sell procedures are re-initiated in accordance with Sections 10.4 and 10.5. If the Receiving Member disputes the Notifying Member’s statement of the amount payable to each Member based on the Specified Valuation Amount (there shall be no right to challenge the Specified Valuation Amount itself), it shall promptly provide notice of such dispute to the Notifying Member and to the Approved Accountants, which dispute the Approved Accountants shall resolve within thirty (30) days of the Buy/Sell Notice (which resolution shall include a written report delivered to all Members specifying the calculations and assumptions underlying such resolution, and shall be binding). Any such dispute shall stay the time periods set forth in this Section 10.4(b) from the date on which notice of such dispute is given to the Notifying Member through and including the date on which the Approved Accountants provide a written report of the resolution of such dispute.
(c) The Receiving Member shall give written notice (the “Election Notice”) to the Notifying Member of its election under Section 10.4(b) within thirty (30) days after receiving such Buy/Sell Notice (the “30 Day Period”). If the Receiving Member does not send its Election Notice within such 30 Day Period, such Receiving Member(s) shall be deemed conclusively to have elected to sell its entire Membership Interest. The Member obligated to purchase under this Section 10.4(c) shall fix a closing date not later than sixty (60) days following the earlier of the date of the delivery of the Election Notice and the expiration of such 30 Day Period (which period may be extended if lender approval, if required, has not been obtained by such date) and shall deposit five percent (5%) of the purchase price (the “Deposit”) in the escrow established for the closing of the sale. At such closing, the selling Member shall Transfer to the buying Member (or the buying Member’s nominee(s)) its entire Membership Interest free and clear of all liens and competing claims and shall deliver to the buying Member (or the buying Member’s nominee(s)) such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution, and delivery, and of the absence of any such liens or competing claims, as the buying Member (or the buying Member’s nominee(s)) shall reasonably request. If the Membership Interest of any Member is purchased pursuant to this Section 10.4(c), then, effective as of the closing for such purchase, the selling Member shall withdraw as a Member and, if applicable, Manager, of the Company. In connection with any such withdrawal of the selling Member, the buying Member may cause any nominee designated in the sole and absolute discretion of the buying Member to be admitted as a substituted Member of the Company. In addition, it shall be a condition of such sale that the purchasing Member either (i) cause the selling Member to be released from any guarantees or indemnities entered into by the selling Member in connection with the Project or other Company business pursuant to releases reasonably acceptable to the selling Member or (ii) cause a creditworthy affiliate of the purchasing Member (in the selling Member’s reasonable judgment) to indemnify and hold harmless the selling Member from and against any and all liabilities under such guarantees and indemnities occurring on or after the date of the sale pursuant to an indemnification agreement reasonably acceptable to the selling Member. Each Member shall pay its own legal, accounting and other consultant fees and expenses in connection with consummating a transaction under this Section 10.4(c), and all other closing costs shall be allocated equally between the Members. Each Member shall pay its own legal, accounting and other consultant fees and expenses in connection with consummating a transaction under this Section 10.4(c), and all other closing costs shall be allocated 50% to the selling Member and 50% to the purchasing Member.
(d) The selling Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the purchasing Member as its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out and enforce the provisions of this Section 10.4 following the failure of the selling Member to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as and when required herein, after written request to do so. If the purchasing Member defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Section 10.4, the selling Member may, as its exclusive remedy (except for the purchasing Member’s loss of rights described below), either (i) retain the Deposit as liquidated damages or (ii) acquire the purchasing Member’s Membership Interest at a ten percent (10%) discount to the price that would otherwise have been applicable to an acquisition of such Member’s Membership Interest under this Section 10.4 and with an extra sixty (60) days (from the time of default) to make such decision, and an extra sixty (60) days (from the time of such election) to close, but otherwise on the terms described in this Section 10.4. If the selling Member defaults, the purchasing Member may enforce its rights by specific performance (and damages incidental to a specific performance action which are allowed as part of such action as well as a dollar amount equal to the Deposit), as its exclusive remedy.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.4, the amount to be paid for the selling Member’s Membership Interest in the Company shall be adjusted as follows: There shall be determined, as of the date of the closing: (i) the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions made by the selling Member between the date of the Buy/Sell Notice and the date of the Closing, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all distributions of capital made to the selling Member during such period pursuant to Section 7. If (A) the amount determined under (i) exceeds the amount determined under (ii), then the amount to be received by the selling Member shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and (B) if the amount determined under (ii) exceeds the amount determined under (i), then the amount to be received by the selling Member shall be decreased by the amount of such excess.
