hereby expressly agree and acknowledge that each of the Members, either directly
or through the Member's Affiliates, is involved in transactions, investments and
business ventures and undertakings of every nature, which include, without
limitation, activities which are not associated in any manner with real estate,
as well as the ownership, construction, development, marketing, sale and
operation of real property and improvements of every type and nature thereon
(all such investments and activities being referred to hereinafter as the
"Independent Activities").
(b) Waiver of Rights with Respect to Independent
Activities. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to: (i) prohibit any
Member or the Member's Affiliates from continuing, acquiring, owning or
otherwise participating in any Independent Activity that is not owned or
operated by the Company except that (A) DMB and/or its Affiliates shall not
engage in, or have any financial interest in, any existing or future
residential, hotel, resort/recreational or retail development in Summit and
Wasatch Counties in Utah without the consent of UPK, which consent may be
withheld in UPK's absolute discretion; provided, however, that DMB or its
Affiliates may continue to be engaged in the Glenwild Project near Xxxxxxx
Junction, and (B) UPK and/or its Affiliates may engage in other existing or
future activities in Summit or Wasatch Counties in Utah on property which UPK
and/or its Affiliates currently owns or has a present interest in even though
such activities may compete with the activities of the Company; or (ii) require
any Member or the Member's Affiliates to allow the Company or any other Member
to participate in the ownership or profits of any such Independent Activity. DMB
and its Affiliates covenant that in connection with the Glenwild Project or with
respect to other projects, operations or obligations of DMB and its Affiliates,
and UPK covenants in connection with its other UPK projects and operations or
obligations of UPK not specifically chargeable to the Company under this
Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or the Protocol, that no costs incurred by
them shall be charged to the Company which are properly chargeable to the
Glenwild Project, or other projects and operations or obligations, in the case
of DMB, or the other projects and operations or obligations, in the case of UPK,
and any amounts which may turn out to have been charged improperly to the
Company shall be promptly refunded but, in the absence of intentional fraud,
shall not otherwise be a default hereunder or under the Contribution Agreement
or the Protocol. In addition, the Members recognize the potential of a conflict
between the objectives of the Glenwild Project and the Company as related to the
potential sale of Glenwild golf memberships to buyers in the Flagstaff Property
or the Bonanza Property, and agree to re-examine the potential conflict at the
time of approval of the Business Plan. To the extent any Member would have any
rights or claims against any other Member as a result of the Independent
Activities of such Member or such Member's Affiliates, whether arising by
statute, common law or in equity, except for rights and claims arising under the
prohibition set out in Section 1.10(b)(i)(A) and (B), the same are hereby
waived.
(c) Limitation on Company Opportunities. Except as
stated in Subsection (b) above, each Member hereby represents and warrants to
each other Member that the warranting Member has not been offered, as an
inducement to enter into this Agreement, the opportunity to participate in the
ownership or profits of any present or future Independent Activity of any kind
whatsoever of such other Member or such other Member's Affiliates. The Members
expressly acknowledge that the opportunities of the Company shall be limited to
the Core Activities with respect to the Property and shall not extend to any
other property, investment or activity.
(d) Acknowledgment of Reasonableness. The Members hereby
expressly acknowledge, represent and warrant that they are sophisticated
investors and developers of real property, they understand the terms, conditions
and waivers set forth in this Section 1.10 and that the provisions of this
Section 1.10 are reasonable, taking into account the relative sophistication and
bargaining position of the Members.
SECTION 2. MEMBERS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS;
2.1 Members. Subject to Section 7, UPK and DMB shall be the
sole Members of the Company.
2.2 Initial Capital Contributions.
------------------------------
(a) UPK. Upon request of the Managing Member, which
request shall be in accordance with the Contribution Agreement and the
Conceptual Plan and Approved Business Plan for such portion of the Property, UPK
will, to the extent that it has interests therein, and except for any of the
Properties which it has elected not to acquire under the Acquisition Election
(i) contribute to the Company the individual portions of the Properties (less
the portions thereof which are "Excluded Property," as defined in the
Contribution Agreement) (such portions as are contributed from time to time are
called the "Contributed Properties") and related Property Rights, as are
necessary for development of the Project in accordance with the phasing plans
("Phasing Plans") to be approved as part of the Initial Business Plan and
Initial Conceptual Plan as the same are thereafter defined, including without
limitation, the timing of contributions, by subsequent Business Plans and
Conceptual Plans for specific developable areas; (ii) Property Rights related to
the Properties; (iii) grant Easement Rights (as defined in the Contribution
Agreement) on portions of the Excluded Property which are necessary to provides
services, access or amenities for the Contributed Properties to be developed;

assign or give to the Company the right to exercise any rights held under
Existing Agreements (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) necessary or
desirable for the development of the Project; and (vii) the ***** Properties (as
defined in the Contribution Agreement) to the extent necessary to comply with
the emergency access requirements of the Development Agreement or other
requirements of the City. The Members agree that the value ("Initial Value") of
all of the Contributed Properties to be contributed is $80,000,000. DMB
acknowledges that the Bonanza Property excludes 15 custom residential lots on
the Bonanza Property included in the Development Agreement which belong to other
owners. The Initial Value is subject to a downward adjustment ("Adjustment")
only for the Costs (defined herein) incurred by the Company of acquiring any of
the ***** Properties, ***** Fractions (as defined in the Contribution
Agreement), or ***** Properties (as so adjusted the "Adjusted Value") which UPK
agrees to exercise best efforts to acquire after having given an Acquisition
Election notice by December 31, 2000 but shall not be subject to any adjustment
as a result of any reduction in densities from Assumed Residential Densities. In
exchange for the promise to contribute the Contributed Properties, UPK shall
receive an immediate credit to its Capital Account in the amount of $80,000,000
and shall not receive any further credit to its Capital Account as the
Properties are actually contributed under the Contribution Agreement.
(b) DMB. Effective upon the execution of the Agreement,
as its initial Capital Contribution to the Company, DMB shall receive a
tentative credit to its Capital Account in an amount which represents the amount
of out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by DMB or its Affiliates in
performing the Business Activities prior to the date hereof, including, without
limitation, expenses incurred in investigating the Properties and performing due
diligence with respect thereto and the preparation of the Preliminary Business
Plan, which amount shall become permanent if neither party exercises its
Voluntary Termination Rights by the required Voluntary Termination Date. DMB's
agreed out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred as of March 31, 2000 were
$1,313,704.00. All such out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by DMB after
March 31, 2000 are subject to review and audit by UPK.
(c) Formation Costs. Effective upon the execution of the
Agreement, each member shall receive a Capital Account Credit in the amount of
its third party costs and expenses incurred in the negotiation and formation of
the Company, this Agreement and the Contribution Agreement ("Formation Costs").
Each Member shall be specifically allocated any amortization or deduction for
income tax purposes of its Formation Costs to the extent permitted by law.
2.3 Additional Capital Contributions. The Members' obligation
to make additional capital contributions ("Additional Capital Contributions")
are as follows:
(a) UPK. UPK is only obligated to contribute the
Contributed Properties and other items under Section 2.2 and is not obligated to
make any cash Additional Capital Contributions to the Company.
(b) DMB.
---
(i) From and after the date of this Agreement and
prior to a termination of the Company on any Voluntary Termination Date, DMB
will make Additional Capital contributions in the form of cash to the Company as
from to time to time is needed to pay all costs for the Business Activities,
which prior to the last Voluntary Termination Date shall be limited unless DMB
and UPK shall agree otherwise in writing to the costs of planning, zoning,
Entitlements and due diligence costs relating to the Properties which DMB shall
believe are then necessary ("Interim Entitlement Costs"), the payment of real
property tax installments due for the tax year 2000 on the Flagstaff Property
and the Bonanza Property to the extent that such taxes are not the obligation of
third parties under the Existing Agreements ("Interim Realty Taxes") and any
payments due under the Water Agreements (defined herein) ("Interim Water
Payments"), unless UPK shall specifically request in writing that additional
funds be spent on Construction Drawings for infrastructure for the Flagstaff
Property ("Interim CD Costs") (the Interim Entitlement Costs, Interim Realty
Taxes, Interim Water Payments, Interim CD Costs and any other costs, including
without limitation, the costs of the construction of the Runaway Truck Ramp or
other construction costs which the Members jointly agree to expend ("Other
Interim Costs") are collectively called the "Interim Costs"). While DMB is
required to make Additional Capital Contributions sufficient to pay all
necessary Interim Entitlement Costs prior to the Voluntary Termination Date, for
the purpose of determining a Termination Cost Reimbursement, the Interim
Entitlement Costs shall be capped at $2,000,000, but such cap shall not be
applicable to Termination Cost Reimbursement of Interim Realty Taxes, Interim
Water Payments, Interim CD Costs or Other Interim Costs. The amounts to be spent
on Interim CD Costs shall be jointly agreed upon in writing by the Members. DMB
will receive a tentative credit to its Capital Account for amounts spent for
Interim Costs which tentative credit will become permanent after the last
Voluntary Termination Date if no Member has then exercised Voluntary Termination
Rights.
(ii) After the expiration of the last Voluntary
Termination Date if no Member has then exercised Voluntary Termination Rights,
and, if UPK in not then in Default, DMB shall make Additional Capital
Contributions in the form of cash to the Company from time to time as needed to
pay for all of the Business Activities incurred by the Company in accordance
with the Approved Business Plan and Budgets or to make Tax Loans under Section
3.3(a); provided that in no event will the aggregate amount of DMB's required
Capital Contributions under Sections 2.2 and 2.3(b) combined exceed the lesser
of $80,000,000 or the Adjusted Value of UPK's Capital Contribution ("DMB Cap");
and provided further DMB may, but shall not be required to make Additional
Capital Contributions during any period during which UPK is in Default under
this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement. For the purpose of determining the
DMB Cap, Capital Contributions made shall be counted for their face amount upon
contribution notwithstanding any reduction in DMB's Capital Account under
Section 8.4(a).
(c) Optional Contributions. If the Managing Member
determines that Additional Capital Contributions are required after DMB has made
Capital Contributions equal to the DMB Cap, then either Member shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to make further Capital Contributions to the
Company ("Optional Contributions") in the amount requested under any request for
contributions from the Managing Member ("Contribution Notice"). Any Member
desiring to make Optional Contributions under this Section 2.3(c) shall give
written notice of its desire to do so to the other Member not later than ten
(10) business days following its receipt of the applicable Contribution Notice.
If both Members desire to fund Optional Contributions, then each of the Members
shall fund fifty percent of such Optional Contributions or in such other ratio
as the Members may agree to in writing.
(d) Use of Additional Capital Contributions. Additional
Capital Contributions and Optional Contributions shall be applied by the Company
solely to pay for the Business Activities of the Company under an Approved
Business Plan.
2.4 Failure to Contribute.
---------------------
(a) DMB Default Notice. If DMB fails to fund its
mandatory Additional Capital Contributions under Section 2.3(b) when due, and
UPK is not then in Default, then UPK may give a Default Notice to DMB and the
Guarantor, setting forth the amount of the delinquent Additional Capital
Contributions (the "Deficit Amount").
(b) UPK Default Notice. If UPK fails to contribute the
Properties and other items required by Section 2.2(a) when due, and DMB is not
then in Default, then DMB may give a Default Notice to UPK setting forth the
particulars of the default.
(c) Contest of Default Notice. Within 30 days after
receipt of a Default Notice, the Member receiving the same shall either cure the
default or contest the default by invoking the Disagreement Resolution
procedures of Section 5.12, and if a Member shall fail to either cure or contest
within the 30 day period, the Member shall be deemed to be in Default and the
other Member shall be entitled to exercise the remedies set forth in Section 8.
(d) Interim Optional Contributions. If DMB fails to
contribute a Deficit Amount to the Company within thirty (30) days following a
Default Notice, and without regard to whether DMB is then invoking the
Disagreement Resolution procedures of Section 5.12, UPK may elect to fund a
Capital Contribution ("Interim Optional Contributions") to the Company for all
or part of the Deficit Amount by advancing funds directly to or for the account
of the Company. Any Capital Contributions made by UPK pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall be treated as Interim Optional
Contributions for all purposes under this Agreement. If DMB or the Guarantor
subsequently funds the Deficit Amount (by making Additional Capital
Contributions to the Company in accordance with Section 2.3(b)), the amount
funded by DMB or the Guarantor shall be applied in its entirety to make
distributions to UPK pursuant to Section 3.1(a) (without regard to whether DMB
also has Unreturned Optional Contributions), to the extent of UPK's unreturned
Interim Optional Contributions.
(e) Other Funding. If, within five days following a
Decision by the Facilitator, DMB or the Guarantor has not funded its Deficit
Amount, then UPK may, in addition to any other remedies set forth in Section 8,
elect in writing to make an Interim Optional Capital Contribution pursuant to
Section 2.4(d) and/or to obtain a loan in the name of the Company secured by the
Properties already contributed to the Company in an amount sufficient to fund
the Deficit Amount which DMB failed to fund within five days following the
Decision of the Facilitator.
2.5 Equity Fee. The Company shall pay an equity fee to DMB
Associates, Inc. ("DMB Associates"), an Affiliate of DMB, in an amount equal to
one percent of all Capital Contributions and Optional Contributions made by DMB
to the Company. The fees payable hereunder shall be paid as and when the
applicable Capital Contributions and/or Optional Contributions are received by
the Company.
2.6 Limitations Pertaining to Capital Contributions.
-----------------------------------------------
(a) Return of Capital. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, no Member shall withdraw any Capital Contributions or any money
or other property from the Company without the written consent of the other
Member. Under circumstances requiring a return of any Capital Contributions, no
Member shall have the right to receive property other than cash, unless
otherwise specifically agreed in writing by the Members at the time of such
distribution.
(b) No Interest or Salary. No Member shall receive any
interest, salary or drawing with respect to its Capital Contributions or its
Capital Account or for services rendered on behalf of the Company or otherwise
in its capacity as a Member, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement.
(c) Liability of Members. Except as agreed upon in
writings signed by the Members, no Member shall be liable for the debts,
liabilities, contracts or any other obligations of the Company. Except as agreed
upon by the Members, and except as otherwise provided by the Act or by any other
applicable state law, the Members shall be liable only to make their Capital
Contributions as provided in Sections 2.2 and 2.3 and no Member shall be
required to make any other Capital Contributions or to loan any amounts to the
Company. No Member shall have any personal liability for the repayment of the
Capital Contributions or loans of any other Member. Nothing in this Section
2.6(c) shall be construed as a limitation on a Member's obligation to repay Tax
Loans to the Company pursuant to Section 3.3.
(d) No Third Party Rights. Nothing contained in this
Agreement is intended or will be deemed to benefit any creditor of the Company,
and no creditor of the Company will be entitled to require any Member to solicit
or demand Additional Capital Contributions.
(e) Withdrawal. Except as provided in Section 7, and
except for Voluntary Termination Rights as set forth in Section 9.2(c), no
Member may voluntarily or involuntarily withdraw from the Company or terminate
its interest therein without the prior written consent of the other Member. Any
Member who withdraws from the Company in breach of this Section 2.6(e):
(i) shall be treated as an assignee of a Member's
interest, as provided in the Act;
(ii) shall not be relieved from any obligations
under this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement, including, but not limited
to, the obligation to make Capital Contributions to the Company;
(iii) shall have no right to participate in the
business and affairs of the Company or to exercise any rights of a Member under
this Agreement or the Act; and
(iv) shall, subject to Section 7.5, and provided
that such Member is not otherwise in Default under this Agreement or the
Contribution Agreement for which the remedy may affect the right to
distributions, continue to share in distributions from the Company, on the same
basis as if such Member had not withdrawn, provided that any damages to the
Company as a result of such withdrawal shall be offset against amounts that
would otherwise be distributed to such Member. Subject to Section 7.5, the right
to share in distributions granted under this Section 2.6(e) shall be in lieu of
any right the withdrawn Member may have under the Act or otherwise to receive a
distribution or payment of the fair value of the Member's interest in the
Company.
SECTION 3. DISTRIBUTIONS
3.1 Distributions of Net Cash Flow. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 8 upon the election to exercise remedies against a member
which affect distributions, or in Section 9, and subject to the provisions of
Sections 2.4, 3.2 and 3.3, distributions of Net Cash Flow, if available, shall
be made to the Members on a quarterly basis, or at such more frequent intervals
as the Executive Committee may determine, in the following order of priority:
(a) First, to the Members in the ratio of their
Unreturned Optional Capital Contributions, until each Member's Unreturned
Optional Capital Contributions have been reduced to zero;
(b) Second, to the Members in the ratio of their
Unreturned Capital Contributions until each Member's Unreturned Capital
Contributions have been reduced to zero;
(c) Third, 60% to DMB and 40% to UPK, until DMB's Unpaid
Preference Amount has been reduced to zero;
(d) Fourth, 80% to UPK and 20% to DMB until Distribution
Parity is obtained; and
(e) Fifth, to DMB and to UPK in the Equity Ratio.
3.2 Adjustment. The Member acknowledge that in the aggregate
distributions to the Members over the term of the Company are intended to be
divided based upon the priorities set forth in Section 3.1. If the timing of
distributions and Capital Contributions over the term of the Company
unintentionally distorts the intended division of distributions, the Members,
working with the Company's accountants, shall adjust the distributions under
Section 3.1 as required to meet the intent of Section 3.1.
3.3 Tax Loans.
---------
(a) Requirement to Make Tax Loans. Prior to making any
distributions of Net Cash Flow pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Managing
Member shall determine the extent to which any Member would have an Unfunded Tax
Amount if the available Net Cash Flow were distributed in accordance with the
applicable provisions of Section 3.1. If any Member would have an Unfunded Tax
Amount under the circumstances described in the preceding sentence, the Company
shall, at the request of the Member who is not then in Default, make a loan (a
"Tax Loan") to such Member in the minimum amount required to eliminate such
Member's Unfunded Tax Amount; provided that if making a Tax Loan to one Member
to eliminate that Member's Unfunded Tax Amount would cause the other Member to
have an Unfunded Tax Amount, the Company shall make Tax Loans to both Members in
proportion to their remaining Unfunded Tax Amounts. Tax Loans shall be funded
first from the Company's Net Cash Flow and then from Additional Capital
Contributions by DMB.
(b) Terms of Tax Loans. Tax Loans shall bear interest at
the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded quarterly, and shall be
repaid from any amounts which become distributable to the borrowing Member
pursuant to any provision of Section 3.1. At the time any amount otherwise
distributable to a Member is applied as a payment on a Tax Loan, the amount thus
applied shall be deemed to have been distributed to the borrowing Member for
purposes of determining that Member's rights to future distributions under this
Agreement. The portion of any Net Cash Flow that is not distributed to the
borrowing Member under the preceding sentence shall be deemed available for
distribution to the Members in the order of priority set forth in Section 3.1
hereof. To the extent any Tax Loan remains unpaid upon liquidation of the
Company, the unpaid balance of such Tax Loan shall be payable in full at that
time. Payments on Tax Loans shall be applied first to any unpaid interest, until
all such interest is paid in full, and then to unpaid principal. A Member may
elect to repay Tax Loans from its own funds at any time.
(c) Security Interest. Each Member hereby grants a
security interest to the Company in that Member's right to receive distributions
from the Company, to secure repayment of any Tax Loans received by that Member,
and to execute all documents reasonably requested by the other Member to
evidence and perfect such security interest. In addition, each Member hereby
appoints the other Member the appointing Member's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, to execute and file such instruments as the other Member deems
necessary to perfect the security interest granted hereunder. The power of

SECTION 4. TAX ALLOCATIONS
4.1 General Allocation Rules.
------------------------
(a) General Allocation Rule. For each taxable year of
the Company, subject to the application of Section 4.2, Profits and/or Losses
shall be allocated to the Members in a manner which causes each Member's
Adjusted Capital Account Balance to equal the amount that would be distributed
to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2(d)(ii) upon a hypothetical liquidation of
the Company in accordance with Section 4.1(b).
(b) Hypothetical Liquidation Defined. In determining the
amounts distributable to the Members under Section 9.2(d)(ii) upon a
hypothetical liquidation, it shall be presumed that: (i) all of the Company's
assets are sold at their respective values reflected on the books of account of
the Company, determined in accordance with Code Section 704(b) and Regulations
thereunder ("Book Value"), without further adjustment; (ii) payments to any
holder of a nonrecourse debt are limited to the Book Value of the assets
securing repayment of such debt; and (iii) the proceeds of such hypothetical
sale are applied and distributed in accordance with Section 9.2.
(c) Special Loss Allocation. If the Company incurs
Losses at any time when the Members' Adjusted Capital Account Balances have been
reduced to or below zero, such Losses shall be allocated to the Members in the
Equity Ratio.
(d) Special Profits Allocation. If the Company incurs
Profits at any time when the Members' Adjusted Capital Account Balances are less
than zero and the hypothetical liquidation described in Section 4.1(b) would not
result in any distributions to the Members, Profits shall be allocated to the
Members in proportion to their negative Adjusted Capital Account Balances, until
such negative balances have been eliminated.
(e) Item Allocations. To the extent the Executive
Committee, upon consultation with the Company's accountants, determines that
allocations of Profits and/or Losses over the term of the Company are not likely
to produce the Adjusted Capital Account Balances intended under this Section
4.1, then special allocations of income, gain, loss and/or deduction shall be
made as deemed necessary by the Executive Committee to achieve the intended
Adjusted Capital Account Balances.
(f) Formation Cost Allocations. The amortization or
deduction of each Members Formation Costs shall be specifically allocated to
that Member.
4.2 Regulatory and Curative Allocations. The allocations set
forth in Section 4.1 are intended to comply with the requirements of Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. If the Company incurs "nonrecourse deductions"
or "partner nonrecourse deductions," or if there is any change in the Company's
"minimum gain" or "partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain," as defined in such
Regulations, or if the Executive Committee determines that the foregoing
allocations fail for any reason to comply with the Regulations, the allocation
of Profits, Losses and items thereof to the Members shall be modified in a
reasonable manner deemed necessary or advisable by the Executive Committee to
comply with the Regulations.
4.3 Capital Account. A Capital Account shall be maintained
for each Member in accordance with the Regulations, under uniform policies and
procedures established by the Executive Committee.
4.4 Special Tax Provisions. In accordance with Code Section
704(c) and Treasury Regulations thereunder, items of income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to the Contributed Properties contributed to the Company
as a Capital Contribution by UPK shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated
between the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted
basis of such Contributed Properties to the Company for federal and state income
tax purposes and its value upon contribution to the Company using the remedial
allocation method, as described in Regulations promulgated under Code Section
704(c). UPK shall certify to the Company and DMB, UPK's basis for federal income
tax purposes in the Contributed Properties as the same are contributed to the
Company.
SECTION 5. MANAGEMENT
5.1 Management of Company. Except as specifically provided in
Section 5.9, and except as specifically delegated to the Managing Member
pursuant to Section 5.7, the right to manage, control and conduct the business
and affairs of the Company shall be vested solely in the Members, acting through
the Executive Committee.
5.2 Executive Committee.
-------------------
(a) Establishment. The Members hereby establish a
committee (the "Executive Committee") to aid in the management of the Company,
which shall consist of two representatives (individually, a "Representative" and
collectively the "Representatives"), one each from UPK and DMB, to act on behalf
of the Members on all matters that are subject to the approval of the Executive
Committee under this Agreement.
(b) Appointment of Representatives. UPK's initial
Representative is Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and DMB's initial Representative is Xxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxx. A Representative may be changed effective upon written notice from the
Member making the change to the other Member. The Representative of each Member
is authorized to make any decision required of such Member and to vote on behalf
of such Member on the Executive Committee.
(c) Decisions. Subject to Section 5.12, all matters that
are subject to the approval of the Executive Committee under this Agreement
shall require the consent of the Representative of each Member.
(d) Required Effort. The Members and the Representatives
shall devote such time to the Company and its business as is appropriate to
conduct the business of the Company and the Executive Committee in an effective
manner, but shall not be required to devote their full time efforts to the
Company. At the request of the Managing Member, and at the expense of the
Company, UPK and DMB will support the Company's zoning and related activities
and will make available at all public meetings Representatives (or other
designees) with the power to grant or withhold approval to matters inconsistent
with the Initial Conceptual Plan or Conceptual Plan for which approval may be
requested at such meetings.
5.3 Procedural Matters Relating to Executive Committee. The
Managing Member shall report to the Executive Committee, at regularly scheduled
or specially called meetings, with respect to the status of the Project,
including, without limitation, the status of zoning, permits, approvals,
easements, engineering, planning, construction, development, operations,
marketing, sales and other matters relating to the Project and the Approved
Business Plan and Budgets. Meetings of the Executive Committee shall be held not
less frequently than quarterly and any Representative may call for additional
meetings of the Executive Committee upon not less than five business days prior
notice to all Representatives. Unless otherwise agreed upon by the
Representatives, all meetings of the Executive Committee shall be held in Park
City, Utah. Each Member (and its advisors) shall be entitled to attend all
meetings and conferences (both internal meetings and those including third
parties) held with respect to the Project. Decisions required to be made by the
Executive Committee need not occur at a formal meeting.
5.4 Conceptual Plans. Prior to the date hereof, the Managing
Member has prepared and submitted to the Executive Committee a preliminary
business plan ("Preliminary Business Plan") which included a preliminary
conceptual plan, a copy of which has been delivered to each Member, and prior to
September 1, 2000 will revise and submit a initial conceptual plan ("Initial
Conceptual Plan") for the development of the Contributed Properties, for
approval by the Executive Committee. If UPK does not approve the Initial
Conceptual Plan in writing by September 30, 2000, which UPK may do or not do for
any reason in its sole discretion, the Initial Conceptual Plan shall be deemed
disapproved. If UPK shall disapprove the Initial Conceptual Plan in writing or
the Initial Conceptual Plan is deemed to be disapproved under the immediately
preceding sentence, then there shall be an Automatic Termination of the Company
under the Voluntary Termination Rights as of September 30, 2000. Assuming the
Initial Conceptual Plan is approved, subject to the approval of the Executive
Committee, the Managing Member shall further refine the Initial Conceptual Plan
as part of the zoning and Entitlements process into more detailed and final
conceptual plans for each of the Contributed Properties (as refined from time to
time, the "Conceptual Plan(s)"). The Members acknowledge that the process of
refining the Initial Conceptual Plan will be a dynamic and evolving process that
will include continuing modifications, amendments and revisions, and refinements
and the approval of master plans, subdivision plans and permits in the normal
course of events, and that Initial Conceptual Plan and later Conceptual Plans as
well as the Approved Business Plan and Budget may be required to be amended as a
result of the failure of the City or other applicable governmental jurisdictions
to issue permits or approve phasing plans and other matters which require such
approval or permits in order to proceed in accordance with the Initial
Conceptual Plan, Conceptual Plans, Approved Business Plan and Budget. All
modifications to the Initial Conceptual Plan or to the Conceptual Plan, and all
modifications to the Conceptual Plan for each Contributed Property proposed by
any Member shall require the approval of the Executive Committee, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by any Executive
Committee Member and any disapproval by an Executive Committee Member must be
based upon a bona fide business reason which shall be conveyed in writing to the
Executive Committee. By written notice to the Executive Committee, any Member
may request interim approval of current drafts of a Conceptual Plan or portions
thereof, which approval, if given, will remain effective until there are
modifications or approvals to the previously approved matter. Any disagreements
with respect to any modification of the Initial Conceptual Plan or the
Conceptual Plan for each Contributed Property, including without limitation,
whether any Executive Committee Member's approval has been unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed, shall be subject to resolution under the
Disagreement Resolutions procedures in Section 5.12.
5.5 Business Plans. The Managing Member has prepared and
submitted to the Executive Committee as part of the Preliminary Business Plan an
overall preliminary conceptual plan for the Business Activities and will prior
to September 1, 2000 will submit to the Executive Committee for approval a
revised plan for the Business Activities ("Initial Conceptual Business Plan"),
including the development of the Project, and including land use budgets for
parcels expected to be Contributed Properties included within the Properties,
locations for primary backbone infrastructure to service such parcels, a
marketing plan, a product mix plan, Phasing Plans, a plan for any golf courses,
and other matters. A copy of the Initial Conceptual Business Plan will be
delivered to each Member. If UPK does not approve the Initial Conceptual
Business Plan in writing by September 30, 2000, which UPK may do or not do for
any reason in its sole discretion, the Initial Conceptual Plan shall be deemed
disapproved. If UPK shall disapprove the Initial Conceptual Business Plan in
writing or the Initial Conceptual Business Plan is deemed disapproved under the
immediately preceding sentence, then there shall be an Automatic Termination of
the Company under the Voluntary Termination Rights as of September 30, 2000. Any
Member may propose refinements or modifications to the Initial Conceptual
Business Plan as a result of changes in the Initial Conceptual Plan, market
forces or other relevant factors, but all such refinements or modifications are
subject to the approval of the Executive Committee. The Initial Conceptual
Business Plan as refined or modified from time to time with the approval of the
Executive Committee shall be the "Approved Business Plan." Disagreements with
respect to refinements or modifications to the Initial Conceptual Business Plan
shall be subject to the Disagreement Resolution procedures in Section 5.12. The
Approved Business Plan shall be implemented by the Managing Member in accordance
with the Budgets approved by the Executive Committee.
5.6 Budgets. The Managing Member has previously prepared as
part of the Preliminary Business Plan, an overall life of the Project income,
expense and capital expenditure budget, a copy of which has been delivered to
each Member, and shall prior to September 1, 2000 submit to the Executive
Committee for approval a revised overall life of the Project income, expense and
capital expenditure budget ("Initial Budget"). If UPK does not approve the
Initial Budget in writing by September 30, 2000, which UPK may do or not do for
any reason in its sole discretion, the Initial Budget shall be deemed
disapproved. If UPK shall disapprove the Initial Budget in writing or the
Initial Budget shall be deemed disapproved under the immediately preceding
sentence, then there shall be an Automatic Termination of the Company under the
Voluntary Termination Rights as of September 30, 2000.The Members recognize that
the Initial Budget will be based upon the Initial Conceptual Plan and the
Initial Conceptual Business Plan, and as refinements or modifications are made
to the latter items, that the Initial Budget will have to be further refined. In
addition, the Managing Member will prepare for approval by the Executive
Committee proposed budgets ("Proposed Budgets") for the Business Activities for
each phase of the Project to be developed under the Approved Business Plan on an
annual basis which will include both general administrative costs and expenses
and construction costs and expenses which are expected to be incurred during the
budget year. The Proposed Budgets will be prepared at a level of detail
customary for projects of the size and scope comparable to the Project and shall
include the timing of projected expenditures. The Proposed Budgets and any
refinements or modifications to the Initial Budget or any Proposed Budget
proposed by any Member shall be subject to approval by the Executive Committee.
The Initial Budget, any Proposed Budget and any refinements or modifications
thereof approved by the Executive Committee will constitute the "Budgets" for
the Project and the Company. Any disagreements with respect to the Budgets and
any refinements or modifications thereto will be subject to the Disagreement
Resolution procedure set forth in Section 5.12 and the Budget shall be adjusted
in accordance with the Decision of the Facilitator.
5.7 Delegation to Managing Member.

allocations, in each case plus an overhead charge of 30%. If such employees are
providing services on less than a full-time basis to the Project (e.g., if they
provide services to a Member or its Affiliates for more than one project), then
the costs to be reimbursed shall be limited to the costs that are fairly
apportioned to the Project, based on the amount of time spent on the Project in
comparison to the other activities of such employees or contractors conducted

to reimbursement and subject to the reasonable approval of the Executive
Committee.

Plan and Budgets. Amounts to be reimbursed shall be evidenced by invoices,

---------------------------------------------------------
(a) Requests by Members for Approval. Any Member through
its Representative may request approval of matters requiring approval of the
Executive Committee under this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to the
other Representative.
(b) Requests by Members. If any Member proposes to
modify or refine the Initial Conceptual Plan, the Conceptual Plan, the Initial
Conceptual Business Plan, the Approved Business Plan or the Budgets, such Member
shall either submit a proposed modification or refinement or action to the
Executive Committee for its approval.
(c) Standards. A decision with respect to any matters

interpretation of this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement which is not a
Performance Default or a Major Default (the existence of such Default Notice or
a dispute or disagreement or the absence of agreement on that matter being
referred to hereinafter as a "Disagreement"), then the Member receiving the
Default Notice under subsection (i) may within 30 days after receipt of the
Default Notice, and, in the case of subsections (ii) and (iii), either Member
(including in DMB's case when acting as Managing Member) or its Representative
may at any time thereafter, give a Disagreement Notice with respect to such
matter pursuant to Section 5.12(d).
(e) Exclusive Means of Resolution. The Members and
Managing Member hereby waive their rights to institute litigation with respect
to any Disagreement arising under this Agreement, and consent instead to be
bound by the results of the dispute resolution process of Section 5.12;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not affect the right to a Member or
the Company to seek judicial confirmation or relief after the entry of a
Decision by a Facilitator which is not complied with within the time required
therein.
5.12 Disagreement Resolution.
-----------------------
(a) Initial Designation of Facilitators. The Company
shall maintain a list (the "Facilitator List") of four or more individuals whom
the Members have mutually agreed are qualified to serve as facilitators
("Facilitators") to resolve Disagreements. The initial Facilitator List is
attached as Exhibit B. The Facilitators shall be independent of the Members (and
their respective Affiliates), and shall hold no financial interest in or any
material financial or personal relationships with either Member or its
Affiliates.
(b) Disclosure of Business Relationships; Replacement of
Facilitator. The Members shall disclose to each other in writing all material
business and personal relationships they or their respective Affiliates have had
in the past five years with any Facilitator before a Facilitator is added to the
Facilitator List. The Members shall also disclose to each other in writing all
material business and personal relationships they or their respective Affiliates
develop with a Facilitator once the Facilitator has been added to the
Facilitator List (and, if a Facilitator develops such a relationship, it shall
be subject to removal from the Facilitator List at the election of either
Member). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, an individual shall
remain on the Facilitator List until removed by the mutual consent of the
Members; provided that if any Person designated on the Facilitator List dies,
refuses to serve or for any other reason is unable to serve, the Members shall
designate an additional Person to fill the vacancy on the Facilitator List. An
individual shall be added to the Facilitator List only upon the unanimous
consent of the Members; provided that if a vacancy on the Facilitator List is
not filled within thirty days of the event that caused such vacancy, the
remaining Facilitators shall promptly choose a new Facilitator to fill the
vacancy, if requested to do so by either Member (upon written notice to the
other).
(c) Selection from Facilitator List. The Facilitator for
any particular Disagreement shall be selected from the Facilitator List by the
mutual consent of the Members or, at the request of any Member, by random
selection from the Facilitator List.
(d) Disagreement Notice. Subject to the applicable
requirements of Section 5.11(d), if a Member believes that a Disagreement
exists, it shall notify the other Member thereof, which notice (a "Disagreement
Notice") shall identify the Disagreement and set forth briefly the notifying
Member's position with respect to the Disagreement. Any Disagreement Notice to
DMB shall also notify the Guarantor and the Individual Guarantors in the manner
specified in Section 10.1. Upon receipt of the Disagreement Notice, the other
Member shall take no further action on the matter in Disagreement until such
Disagreement has been resolved and then such action shall be undertaken only in
accordance with such resolution and the Company shall not incur further costs in
connection with the matter in Disagreement until such resolution unless the
Member agree otherwise, provided that if the Disagreement results over a
budgetary matter, including a requested change in a Budget, or a proposed change
in the Conceptual Plan or Business Plan, DMB shall continue to fund in
accordance with the existing Budget until there is a Decision, except that if
the Disagreement relates to a Contribution Default DMB shall not be required to
fund Budget items which relate to the Properties not contributed until such
Properties are contributed in accordance with the Decision of the Facilitator.
As promptly as practicable, and in any event within one week of the giving of
the Disagreement Notice, the Members shall meet in an attempt to resolve the
Disagreement. If the Disagreement cannot be resolved at that meeting, a
Facilitator shall be appointed at that meeting.
(e) Mediation. Not later than five (5) business days
following the appointment of the Facilitator under Section 5.12(d), the Members
or their respective counsel shall contact the Facilitator and describe briefly
the nature of the Disagreement. The Facilitator shall then determine an
appropriate method of mediating the Disagreement in an attempt to assist the
Members to reach consent with respect thereto. The method of mediation shall be
solely in the discretion of the Facilitator, and the Members shall cooperate in
good faith in the mediation process; provided that the mediation process shall
terminate not later than ten (10) business days following the designation of a
Facilitator as a mediator (unless the process is extended by mutual agreement of
the Members). The mediation process shall be at a location in Summit County,
Utah or in Maricopa County, Arizona selected by the Facilitator (which shall be
the most efficient location for completing the mediation process, based on the
issues to be resolved and the other facts and circumstances associated with the
mediation proceedings). Unless otherwise agreed by the Members, the results of
mediation under this Section 5.12(e) shall be non-binding.
(f) Arbitration.
-----------
(i) Appointment of Arbitrator. If the mediation
process under Section 5.12(e) is terminated without the Members having resolved
the Disagreement that was the subject of such process, then on the same business
day on which the mediation process is terminated, the Members shall designate a
new Facilitator in the manner provided in Section 5.12(c).
(ii) Rules of Arbitration. The arbitration process
shall be conducted by the newly designated Facilitator at a location in Summit
County, Utah or Maricopa County, Arizona selected by the Facilitator (which
shall be the most efficient location for completing the arbitration process,
based on the issues to be resolved and the other facts and circumstances
associated with the arbitration proceedings), and shall be conducted under the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq., subject to this Agreement,
any other documents executed by the Members and applicable law. Except as
provided herein, the Facilitator shall follow the rules of the American
Arbitration Association, but shall have discretion to vary from those guidelines
in light of the nature or circumstances of any particular Disagreement; provided
that the Facilitator shall render a decision on any Disagreement only in the
manner specifically provided below. Discovery rules and the extent and scope of
discovery with respect to any Disagreement shall be in the sole discretion of
the Facilitator responsible for the arbitration with respect to such Dispute.
(iii) Timing of Arbitration. The Members shall
cooperate in good faith to permit a conclusion of the arbitration hearing within
twenty (20) business days following the termination of the mediation process
under Section 5.12(e) (including, but not limited to, making representatives
available for the arbitration, and selecting a Facilitator who can serve within
the period of time required), and shall endeavor to submit a joint statement
setting forth each Disagreement to be resolved, including a summary of each
Member's position on each Disagreement.
(iv) Arbitration Hearing. In all events, unless
waived by the Members, the Facilitator will conduct an arbitration hearing at
which the Members and their counsel shall be present and have the opportunity to
present evidence and examine the evidence presented by the other Members. The
proceedings at the arbitration hearing shall, unless waived by the Members, be
conducted under oath and before a court reporter.
(v) Reliance on Experts. If the matters or issues
involved in any Disagreement are outside the scope of expertise of the
Facilitator acting as the arbitrator with respect to such Disagreement, the
Facilitator shall have the right to obtain and rely on experts with respect to
the applicable matters or issues (such as appraisers, lawyers, land planners,
accountants, etc.). All costs of any experts retained by the Facilitator shall
be borne by the Members in accordance with Section 5.12(h). The services or
advice obtained from experts by the Facilitator in accordance with this Section
5.12(f)(v) shall not be in lieu of any testimony that a Member may wish to
present from its own expert on the matters or issues that are the subject of the
Disagreement.
(vi) Decision of Arbitrator. Upon the conclusion of
the arbitration hearing, the Facilitator shall render a Decision with respect to
each individual Disagreement (i.e., each issue presented for resolution)
("Decision"); provided, however, that in the case of a Default Notice giving
rise to the Disagreement, the Facilitator shall determine whether or not the
Member or Managing Member is in default and shall specify the nature and extent
of the default, the acceptable means for curing such default and, except where
no Cure Period is permitted under this Agreement, the Cure Period within which
the default must be cured before the Member or Managing Member is in Default.
The Facilitator shall notify the Guarantor and the Individual Guarantors of any
Decision which holds DMB in Default pursuant to this Section 5.12. In addition,
where the alleged default of a Member or the Managing Member relates to failure
to comply with this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement and the alleged
defaulting Member or Managing Member had requested a change in the Business
Plan, Conceptual Plan or Budget which was not approved by the Executive
Committee and is the subject to a Disagreement Notice, which would affect the
decision of whether such Member was in default, both matters shall be determined
by the same Facilitator and the requested change shall be determined first by
the Facilitator. The decision of the Facilitator with respect to any
Disagreement shall be final and binding on all Members and shall be treated as
an approval by the Executive Committee of the matter that was subject to the
Disagreement. As part of its Decision, a Facilitator acting as an arbitrator
hereunder may render a decision compelling specific performance by a Member of
its obligations under this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement. The
Facilitator acting as an arbitrator of any Disagreement hereunder shall have the
authority to award monetary damages in the form of Self Help Costs and/or
Damages. A judgment may be entered and enforced by any court of competent
jurisdiction based on any decision rendered by a Facilitator acting as an
arbitrator hereunder.
(g) Standards of Conduct. If a Disagreement is submitted
to arbitration, the Members agree that they will not contact or communicate with
the Facilitator who was appointed as arbitrator with respect to any Disagreement
either ex parte or outside of the contacts and communications contemplated by
this Section 5.12.
(h) Costs. The cost of resolving any Disagreement by
mediation, as described in Section 5.12(e), shall be borne by the Company (and
shall be treated as an item in a Budget for all purposes of this Agreement). The
cost of resolving any Disagreement pursuant to arbitration, as described in
Section 5.12(f), shall be borne by the Members as determined by the Facilitator
who acts as arbitrator with respect to such Disagreement.
5.13 Proceedings After Flagstaff Zoning And Annexation. The
zoning and annexation of the Flagstaff Property has been completed, and a
density determination application has been filed by UPK for the Bonanza
Property. The Managing Member will proceed with (a) planning and determining
density to be allowed under Small Scale Plans on Flagstaff Property and (b)
under the density determination application for the Bonanza Property, as the
same may be amended or revised by the Managing Member including therein master
plan materials and a request for a determination on the golf course ("Amended
Density Determination Application"). DMB will make a good faith effort to file
the Amended Density Determination Application on the Bonanza Property by June
30, 2000; provided, however, that DMB shall not be required to do so by June 30,
2000 if DMB believes in good faith that such filing is inadvisable for political
reasons or because of relationships with third parties. Failure of DMB to file
the Amended Density Determination Application by December 31, 2000 shall give
UPK the right to elect a Voluntary Termination. The Managing Member shall also
begin obtaining commitments for Utilities to service the Properties, and when
commitments for delivery of Utilities to the Flagstaff Property and the Bonanza
Property have been obtained at levels of service deemed adequate by the Managing
Member based upon the Initial Conceptual Plan and Phasing Plans to provide for
the needs of the Project and within the range of costs estimated by the Managing
Member in the Initial Conceptual Business Plan, the Managing Member will cause
the Company to proceed with the development of the Flagstaff Property and the
Bonanza Property. Not withstanding the foregoing, unless the Managing Member
elects to do otherwise in its sole and absolute discretion, the Company shall
not begin actual construction of the Project prior to the later of the last
Voluntary Termination Date or satisfaction of the Construction Pre-conditions.
The Members recognize that the development of the developable portions of the
Contributed Properties within the Flagstaff Property and Bonanza Property will
require significant additional planning and submittals to governmental
authorities, including Small Scale Master Plan approval (or the equivalent),
subdivision approval and other permits and that the Properties will be developed
in phases in accordance with Phasing Plans and as required by the Development
Agreement or any subsequent development agreement. As a consequence, UPK's
interest in the Contributed Properties portion of the Flagstaff Property and the
Bonanza Property and the other Properties and the Surface Rights, rights under
Existing Agreements, Water Agreements and rights to acquire the *****
Properties, the ***** Property and the ***** Fractions will be required to be
contributed by UPK to the Company as needed in accordance with the Phasing
Plans, Approved Business Plan and Development Agreement requirements and as more
fully set forth in the Contribution Agreement except to the extent that
Acquisition Election given by UPK with respect to the ***** Properties, the
***** Fractions or the ***** Property excludes portions of such Properties.
Until needed in accordance with the Phasing Plans, Approved Business Plan and
Development Agreement requirements, UPK shall retain title to the Properties
without further encumbrance thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall
pay for the benefit of UPK all real property taxes as they become due on the
Flagstaff Property and the Bonanza Property and upon any other Properties which
the Members determine after the date hereof to develop even though not yet
contributed. There are no current plans for the development of Xxxxxxxxxx Flats
or Xxxxx'x Junction except that UPK may be required to deed Xxxxx'x Junction to
the City under Section 2.10.4 of the Development Agreement as a result of the
development of the Flagstaff Property or develop portions as affordable housing,
and a portion of the affordable housing requirement on the Flagstaff Property
may be satisfied on the Xxxxx'x Junction Property in accordance with Section
2.10.4 of the Development Agreement. Xxxxxxxxxx Flats and Xxxxx'x Junction will
be developed in accordance with an Approved Business Plan when the Members
determine that it is appropriate that development should proceed.
5.14 Guaranty. All obligations of DMB under this Agreement
shall be guaranteed by the Guarantor by a Guaranty in the form attached as
Exhibit C and the obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty shall be
guaranteed by the Individual Guarantors by an Individual Guaranty in the form
attached as Exhibit D.
5.15 Limitations on Liability; Indemnity. No Member, its
Representative or its Affiliates (an "Actor") shall be liable to the Company or
the other Members for actions taken in good faith by the Actor in connection
with the Company or its business; provided that the Actor shall in all instances
remain liable for acts in breach of this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement
which the Facilitator by Decision determines to be Performance Defaults or Major
Defaults as and to the extent set forth in Section 8 hereof. The Company, its
receiver or trustee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Actor, to the
extent of the Company's assets (without any obligation of any Member to make
contributions to the Company to fulfill such indemnity), from and against any
liability, damage, cost, expense, loss, claim or judgment incurred by the Actor
arising out of any claim based upon acts performed or omitted to be performed by
the Actor in connection with the business of the Company, including without
limitation attorneys' fees and costs incurred by the Actor in the settlement or
defense of such claim; provided that no Actor shall be indemnified for claims
based upon acts performed or omitted in breach of this Agreement or the
Contribution Agreement which the Facilitator by Decision determines to be
Performance Defaults or Major Defaults which are not cured within the Cure
Period.
SECTION 6. BOOKS AND RECORDS
6.1 Books and Records. The Managing Member shall keep books
and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at its
place of business or at the Company's office, setting forth a true and accurate
account of all business transactions arising out of and in connection with the
conduct of the Company. Any Member or its designated representative shall have
the right, at any reasonable time, to have access to and inspect, copy and audit
the contents of such books or records. The Managing Member shall cause the
Company's financial books and records be audited (not more frequently than
annually) at the Company's expense, by a firm of independent certified
accountants selected by the Executive Committee, and shall cause the annual
income tax returns to be prepared for the Company at the Company's expense.
6.2 Quarterly Progress Reports. Not later than 30 days
following the last day of each calendar quarter, the Managing Member shall
provide each Member with:
(a) Construction and Operation Reports. A report of the
Company's construction and operation activities for the immediately preceding
quarter, which report shall include a brief narrative description of the status
of any ongoing construction projects (including costs spent to date),
anticipated costs to complete such construction projects and a summary and
explanation of any variance between budgeted and actual costs;
(b) Sales Report. A list of any new escrows opened, and
escrow closings (including purchase prices paid), for the sale of custom
residential lots, multi-family lots or pads or other portions of the Property by
the Company since the last sales report; and
(c) Other Reports. Such other reports as: (i) UPK may
request for compliance with public company reporting requirements which reports
the Company shall endeavor to provide on a timely basis, or (ii) such other
reports as either Member may reasonably request which may be produced without
undue hardship or expense to the Company.
6.3 Financial Reports. The Managing Member shall use good
faith efforts to furnish each Member with financial reports consisting of a
balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows together with a
comparison of actual and budgeted results for the quarter then ended within
thirty days following the end of each calendar quarter with sufficient
supporting data to permit UPK to prepare its financial statements.
6.4 Tax Matters. The Managing Member shall cause drafts of tax
returns for the Company to be delivered to the Executive Committee as soon as
reasonably practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the Company. The
final form of such tax returns shall be subject to the approval of the Executive
Committee. Following the approval of tax returns, the Managing Member shall
provide necessary tax information to be delivered to each Member. DMB shall be
the "tax matters partner" pursuant to the Code, but all actions by DMB in its
capacity as tax matters partner shall be subject to the approval of the
Executive Committee.
SECTION 7. TRANSFER OF COMPANY INTERESTS; NEW MEMBERS

hypothecate, encumber or otherwise voluntarily transfer by any means whatever
("Transfer") all or any portion of its interest in the Company (or permit any

indirectly to Transfer any part of such interest), except for Transfers (a)
approved in writing by all Members, (b) permitted under Section 7.2 or (c) to a

provision of this Section 7 to the contrary, in no event shall a Transfer of any
direct or indirect interest in a Member that arises from the death of any Person
holding such interest (whether such Transfer arises under a will, a trust, by
operation of law or otherwise) be treated as a violation of the restrictions on
Transfers set forth in this Section 7.
7.3 Assignee of Member's Interest. If, pursuant to a Transfer
of an interest in the Company by operation of law and without violation of
Section 7.1 (or pursuant to a Transfer that the Company is required to recognize
notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement), a Person acquires an

SECTION 8. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
8.1 Default Procedures. In the event that a Member
("Non-Defaulting Party") believes that another Member or the Managing Member has
committed a Default ("Defaulting Party"), then such Non-Defaulting Party may
give the Defaulting Party a Default Notice. Within 30 days after receipt of the
Default Notice, the Defaulting Party shall either (a) contest the Default Notice
pursuant to the Disagreement Procedures under Section 5.12 by giving the
Disagreement Notice specified therein and pursuing the procedures thereunder
until the parties reach resolution of the Disagreement or there is a Decision of
the Facilitator, or (b) cure the Default within the Cure Period. Any Default
Notice given by UPK to DMB relating to a Performance Default shall specify
whether UPK elects no Cure Period after a Decision of the Facilitator.
8.2 Performance Default. In the event that a Member shall be
in Default as a result of a Performance Default the remedies shall be as
follows:
(a) DMB Performance Default. In the event of a DMB
Performance Default, UPK may remove DMB as the Managing Member by written notice
given to DMB within 30 days after the Default is determined, and after removal
of DMB as Managing Member UPK may elect by written notice given to DMB within
the 120 days after the receipt by UPK of the Decision establishing the
Performance Default to either:
(i) at UPK's option to bring in a new investor
("Investor") as a Member and/or Managing Member or thereafter to fund all
Additional Capital Contributions which would have been made by DMB, and to
remove the DMB Representative from the Executive Committee and, if applicable,
appoint a Representative selected by the Investor in his place, in which case
the obligation of DMB to fund Additional Capital Contributions will cease six
months after the Default by DMB is determined. In such event, DMB shall only be
entitled to recover from Net Cash Flow, or from proceeds of a liquidation under
Section 9.2(d)(ii), its Unreturned Optional Capital Contributions as specified
under Section 3.1(a), and its Unreturned Capital Contributions under Section
3.1(b) but in the case of Section 3.1(b) only pari passu with UPK and the
Investor, and DMB shall not be entitled to share in any other distributions
under Section 3.1 or in any profits or losses of the Company and DMB shall not
have a vote on any matter except as provided in Section 5.9 or which is a
Material Post Default Change; or
(ii) continue without bringing in an Investor, in
which case the Representative of DMB shall continue on the Executive Committee
with a vote (except with respect to a replacement Managing Member), DMB shall
continue to fund Additional Capital Contributions as required and to receive
distributions and profits and losses as provided in this Agreement with the
exception that DMB shall not be entitled to any Preference Amount and thus
distributions under Section 3.1(c) and (d) shall be eliminated from the
Agreement.
(b) UPK Performance Default. In the event of a UPK
Performance Default, DMB, acting on behalf of the Company, shall be entitled to
bring an action for specific performance or exercise Self Help and recover Self
Help Costs which may, at UPK's election, be paid directly by UPK, or offset
against UPK's Unreturned Capital Contributions or other distributions under
Section 3.1; provided, however, that unless UPK shall pay the Self Help Costs
within sixty days after the Decision of the Facilitator becomes a Default, DMB
may elects to offset such amount against UPK's Capital Account, and provided
further , however that nothing herein shall limit the liability of UPK to DMB
under Section 20 of the Contribution Agreement. In addition to the foregoing
remedies, DMB may by written notice given within 120 days after the UPK
Performance Default is determined to exist elect to remove the UPK
Representative from the Executive Committee and thereafter UPK shall not have a
vote except on matters specified in Section 5.9 or which is a Material Post
Default Change.
8.3 Unjustified Claim of DMB Performance Default. In the event
that UPK shall give a Default Notice to DMB alleging a DMB Performance Default
and shall specify therein that DMB shall not have any Cure Period after the
Decision of the Facilitator, and the Facilitator shall find no DMB Performance
Default and shall further determine that the claim of a DMB Performance Default
was made by UPK in an arbitrary and capricious manner, then the percentage
distributions to be made to UPK thereafter under the next applicable Section
3.1(c), (d) or (e) after distributions in the current section of Section 3.1 are
complete (or if distributions are then being made under Section 3.1(a) or (b),
then from the first distributions thereafter made under Section 3.1(c)) shall be
permanently reduced by five percent and the distributions to be made to DMB
under such applicable section shall be permanently increased by five percent.
8.4 Major Defaults. In the event that a Member shall be in
Default as a result of a Major Default the remedies shall be as follows:
(a) DMB Major Default. In the event of a DMB Major
Default, unless UPK shall elect otherwise in writing within 30 days after the
receipt of the Decision of the Facilitator establishing the Default,
automatically without further action by UPK, DMB shall be removed as the
Managing Member, the DMB Representative shall be removed from the Executive
Committee, and the amount of DMB's then Unreturned Capital Contributions shall
be reduced by fifty percent (as so reduced, the "Reduced Unreturned Capital
Contributions"), in which case the further return of DMB's Reduced Unreturned
Capital Contributions amount shall be subordinated to the recovery by UPK and
any Investor in the Company of all of their Unreturned Capital Contributions,
and DMB shall receive no return on such Reduced Unreturned Capital Contributions
under Sections 3.1(c) through 3.1(e) inclusive. In addition UPK may elect:
(i) to continue without bringing in an Investor, in
which case DMB shall continue to fund Additional Capital Contributions as
required by Section 2.3(b) and with respect to the Additional Capital
Contributions which DMB funds after the Default is determined to exist (other
than any Additional Capital Contributions made during such period which were the
subject of the Default Notice), DMB shall continue to receive distributions and
profits and losses as provided in this Agreement with the exception that DMB
shall not be entitled to any Preference Amount and thus distributions under
Section 3.1(c) and (d) shall be eliminated from the Agreement. While DMB shall
no longer have a Representative on the Executive Committee, DMB shall have the
right to vote on any matter specified in Section 5.9 or which is a Major Post
Default Change;
(ii) by written notice given to DMB within 120 days
of the date the DMB Major Default was determined to exist: (A) to bring in a new
Investor as a Member and/or Managing Member and appoint a Representative
selected by the Investor in his place, and to (B) release DMB from any further
obligation of DMB to fund Additional Capital Contributions, in which event as to
any Additional Capital Contributions made by DMB after the DMB Major Default is
determined to exist (other than any Additional Capital Contributions made during
such period which were the subject of the Default Notice) and until such release
("Post Default Capital Contributions"), DMB shall be entitled to its Unreturned
Optional Contributions in the manner or order specified under Section 3.1(a),
and its Unreturned Capital Contributions under Section 3.1(b) but on a
subordinated basis after UPK and the Investor have recovered their Unreturned
Capital Contributions. DMB shall be entitled to share in profits and losses of
the Company and in all other distributions under Section 3.1 based upon its Post
Default Capital Contributions with the exception that DMB shall not be entitled
to any Preference Amount and thus distributions under Sections 3.1(c) and (d)
shall be eliminated from the Agreement and DMB shall only be entitled to vote
upon the matters set forth in Section 5.9 and Major Post Default Changes; or
(iii) UPK shall be entitled, in the case of a
Funding Default, to pursue the Guarantors under the Guarantees for Additional
Capital Contributions for which DMB is then in Default. Pending recovery of the
amounts due on account of the Funding Default from the Guarantors, UPK may cause
the Company to obtain loans or lines of credit to fund operations in accordance
with the then Approved Budget and Business Plan and may secure repayment of such
loans or lines of credit with the Properties.
(b) UPK Major Default. In the event of a Major Default
by UPK, unless DMB shall elect otherwise within 30 days after receipt of the
Decision of the Facilitator which establishes the Default, automatically without
further action by DMB, the UPK Representative shall be removed from the
Executive Committee and UPK's Unreturned Capital Contributions shall be reduced
by the lesser of (i) fifty percent of such Unreturned Capital Contributions or
(ii) the amount of the Damages and/or Self Help Costs awarded by the Facilitator
to the Company or to DMB, as applicable, which Damages and/or Self Help Costs
are intended to put DMB in the same position as if the UPK Major Default had not
occurred; provided, however, that no such award shall be made in an amount which
would put DMB in a better position than DMB would have been if the UPK Major
Default had not occurred. As set forth in the definition of Damages, for the
purposes of (ii) above, such Damages shall relate only to this specific Project
and shall not extend to any other projects of DMB or the inability to deploy
money from this Project into other projects as a result of the UPK Major
Default. After removal of the UPK Representative from the Executive Committee,
UPK shall not have the right to vote on any matter except for the right to vote
on any matter set forth in Section 5.9 or which is a Material Post Default
Change.
