(i) The Affiliated Transaction contains terms that are fair and reasonable and are substantially as favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, as would be obtainable by the Company or such Subsidiary, as applicable, at the time in a comparable arm’s-length transaction, contract, arrangement, amendment, waiver or consent with a Person not an Interested Member (or Affiliate thereof); and
(ii) The Affiliated Transaction is fully disclosed to all of the Members (including the fact that it is an Affiliated Transaction) and the Affiliated Transaction has been approved by all of the Members (including Interested Member).

With respect to the actions described in Section 2.05(a)(ii) through (vi), inclusive, the non-Interested Members shall have the exclusive right and authority and are expressly authorized, empowered and directed, without obtaining the approval of the Interested Member or any other Person, to effectuate (or cause to be effectuated), any and all such actions on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company and each Subsidiary, as each such non-Interested Member shall determine reasonably necessary, prudent or advisable, in its reasonable discretion, with respect to any such action.

ARTICLE III
MEMBERS’ CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMPANY
3.01 Initial Capital Contributions
In the time required pursuant to the closing of the Campus Subsidiary purchase of the Campus, each Member shall contribute to the capital of the Company the amount set forth opposite each such Member’s name under the column labelled “Initial Capital Contributions” on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Initial Capital Contribution”). Each Member shall fund its Initial Capital Contribution by a confirmed wire transfer of readily available funds. Each Member’s Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall be credited by the amount of the Initial Capital Contribution contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company pursuant to this Section 3.01 on the date each such contribution is made.
3.02 Additional Contributions of the Members
If the Company has insufficient funds (i) to meet its current or projected financial requirements for any expenditures budgeted in the Approved Business Plan or otherwise approved by the Executive Committee (in excess of any financing or other proceeds that are available to the Company), (ii) to pay for any Emergency Expenses or (iii) to pay for Guaranty Liabilities (collectively, the “Shortfall”), then the Manager may give written notice of such Shortfall to the Members (“Contribution Notice”). The Contribution Notice shall summarize, with reasonable particularity, the Company’s actual and projected cash obligations, cash on hand, projected sources and amounts of future cash proceeds and a contribution date (“Contribution Date”) (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days following the effective date of such notice). On or before the Contribution Date, each Member shall contribute to the capital of the Company, by a confirmed wire transfer of readily available federal funds, its Contribution Percentage of the capital necessary to satisfy the Shortfall described in the Contribution Notice.
3.03 Remedies for Failure to Contribute Capital
If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to contribute timely all or any portion of the additional capital such Member is required to contribute pursuant to Section 3.02 (the “Delinquent Contribution”), such failure shall not constitute a default hereunder and each other Member that has contributed timely to the capital of the Company the entire additional capital required to be contributed by such Member with respect to such Contribution Notice (individually, a “Contributing Member” and collectively, the “Contributing Members”), shall have the right, as the sole and exclusive remedy for the Non-Contributing Member’s failure to fund to select one (1) of the remedies set forth below in this Section 3.03.
(a) Loan Remedy. The Contributing Member(s) may advance to the Company, in cash and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interest(s) (or in such different proportion as such Contributing Member(s) may otherwise determine), within thirty (30) days following the Contribution Date, an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, and such advance shall be treated as a non-recourse loan (“Default Loan”) by the Contributing Member(s) to the Non-Contributing Member, bearing interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded monthly, or (ii) the maximum, non-usurious rate then permitted by law for such loans.
As of the date of the advance of any Default Loan, the Non-Contributing Member’s Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall be credited with an amount equal to the original principal balance of the Default Loan advanced by the Contributing Member(s) to the Non-Contributing Member. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles V and XII, until any and all Default Loans advanced to the Non-
18-
Contributing Member are repaid in full, the Non-Contributing Member shall receive no further distributions from the Company, and all cash or property otherwise distributable with respect to the Non-Contributing Member’s Interest shall be distributed to the Contributing Member(s) in proportion to, and as a reduction of, the outstanding balance of (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) any and all such Default Loans, with such funds being applied first to reduce any and all interest accrued on such Default Loan(s) and then to reduce the principal amount thereof. Any amounts so applied shall be treated, for all purposes under this Agreement, as having actually been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to Article V and applied by the Non-Contributing Member to repay such outstanding Default Loan(s).
If, on the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following the advance of any Default Loan, any principal thereof and/or accrued interest thereon remains outstanding, then the Contributing Member(s) advancing such Default Loan(s) may elect any one (1) of the following options: (i) to renew such Default Loan (or portion thereof) pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 3.03(a) for an additional one hundred eighty (180)-day period; or (ii) to contribute all or any portion of such outstanding principal of, and/or accrued interest on, such Default Loan (or portion thereof) to the capital of the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03(b) below. The Contributing Member(s) advancing the applicable Default Loan(s) may elect either of the options set forth in the immediately preceding sentence by giving written notice of such election to the Non-Contributing Member and the other Member within thirty (30) days following such one hundred eighty (180)-day period. Failure of the Contributing Member(s) to timely give such written notice to the Non-Contributing Member and the other Member shall be deemed to constitute an election to renew such Default Loan(s) for an additional term of one hundred eighty (180) days on the terms set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of a Default Loan which had been outstanding for a period of more than one hundred eighty (180) days shall automatically be renewed for an additional term of one hundred eighty (180) days on the terms set forth herein and the Contributing Member may no longer elect to contribute such portion of a Default Loan to the capital of the Company pursuant to the provision of Section 3.03(b) below.
(b) Default Contribution. The Contributing Member(s) may contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, within thirty (30) days following the Contribution Date and in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests (or in such different proportion as such Contributing Member(s) may otherwise determine), an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, which shall be credited to such Contributing Member’s Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account on the date any such contribution is made. If a Default Loan is not fully repaid on or before the one hundred eightieth (180th) day following the date such Default Loan was advanced, the Contributing Member(s) advancing such Default Loan(s) also may elect to contribute to the capital of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(a) above, all or any portion of the outstanding principal of and/or accrued interest on such Default Loan(s) previously advanced by such Contributing Member(s). Following any such contribution, (i) the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed shall be deemed repaid and satisfied; (ii) the Non-Contributing Member’s Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall be decreased, but not below zero (0), by the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed; and (ii) the Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account of each such Contributing Member shall be increased by the amount of the outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed.
19-
Upon any contribution by any Contributing Member pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(b), (i) the Percentage Interest (but not the Contribution Percentage) of the Non-Contributing Member shall be decreased by an amount (expressed in percentage points) equal to the Dilution Percentage, and (ii) the Percentage Interest of each Contributing Member shall be increased by an amount (expressed in percentage points) equal to the Dilution Percentage.
The “Dilution Percentage” shall equal the amount calculated based upon the following formula:
The application of the provisions of this Section 3.03(b) are illustrated by the following example: Assume that (i) the aggregate balances standing in the Unreturned Contribution Accounts of all of the Members are equal to One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000), (ii) the FP Member has a Percentage Interest and Contribution Percentage of seventy-five percent (75%) and the other Members collectively have a Percentage Interest and Contribution Percentage of twenty-five percent (25%), (iii) an additional capital contribution of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) is required to be contributed by the Members pursuant to Section 3.02, (iv) the FP Member fails to contribute any portion of the required additional capital contribution of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) (i.e., $10,000,000 × 75% = $7,500,000), and (v) the other Members contribute their entire portion of the required additional capital contribution of Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) (i.e., $10,000,000 × 25% = $2,500,000) and the entire Delinquent Contribution of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000) to the capital of the Company on behalf of the FP Member pursuant to this Section 3.03(b). By operation of this Section 3.03(b), the Dilution Percentage would be equal to nine and 375/1,000ths (9.375) percentage points as calculated in accordance with the following formula:
20-
The Percentage Interest (but not the Contribution Percentage) of the FP Member would therefore be reduced by nine and 375/1,000ths (9.375) percentage points from seventy-five percent (75%) to sixty-five and 625/1,000ths percent (65.625%), and the Percentage Interest (but not the Contribution Percentage) of the RP Member and the SW Member would be increased in the aggregate by a like amount of percentage points from twenty-five percent (25%) to thirty-four and 375/1,000ths percent (34.375%) (with such additional Percentage Interest allocated to the RP Member and the SW Member in proportion to the Delinquent Contribution funded by each such Member).
(c) Election of Remedy. The Contributing Members shall jointly determine which of the remedies set forth in Sections 3.03(a) and/or 3.03(b) are to be exercised by the Contributing Members with respect to each Delinquent Contribution and/or Default Loan. If the Contributing Members do not agree on the remedy to be exercised pursuant to Section 3.03 (or any other decision required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.03), then the decision of whichever Member owns the greater Percentage Interest shall control.
(d) Minimum Percentage Interest. Any and all adjustments to the Members’ respective Percentage Interests pursuant to Section 3.03(b) shall be rounded to the nearest one one-thousandth of one percentage point (0.001%) and the Contributing Member(s) shall not succeed to all or any portion of the Capital Account and/or Unreturned Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member as the result of any such adjustment. In addition, notwithstanding any provision contained in this Article III, the Non-Contributing Member’s Percentage Interest shall in no event be reduced below one-tenth of one percentage point (0.1%) by operation of Section 3.03(b).
(e) Enforceability of Provisions. THE MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE HEREOF, THE REMEDIES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION 3.03 ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND DO NOT CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY. THE MEMBERS FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN PROVIDED WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH INDEPENDENT COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.03 AND AGREE AND COVENANT NOT TO CONTEST THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF ANY SUCH REMEDY AS A PENALTY, FORFEITURE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY COURT OF LAW AND/OR ARBITRATION (OR OTHERWISE).
3.04 Member Loans
If the Manager reasonably determines that the Company has insufficient funds to meet its current or reasonably projected financial requirements consistent with the operations of the Company and each Subsidiary contemplated under the Approved Business Plan in excess of the amounts required to be contributed by the Members pursuant to Section 3.02 above, then the Manager may deliver written notice of such actual or projected cash deficit to the Members. Within thirty (30) days following the effective date of such notice, each Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect advance to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to such necessary funds by delivering written notice of such election to the Manager and the other Members. If more than one (1) Member elects to advance such necessary funds, then such advances shall be proportionate to their respective Percentage Interests (or in such different
21-
amounts as the Members otherwise mutually determine). Any and all advances made by any Member to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be treated as loans (“Member Loans”) with recourse only to the assets of the Company (and not to the assets of any Member), and shall bear annual interest at the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, non-compounded, or (ii) the maximum, non-usurious rate then permitted by law for such loans. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 3.04, the Member Loans made by each Member shall be due and payable in full by the Company upon the liquidation of the Company. Any and all Member Loans shall be payable solely from the cash proceeds realized by the Company and prior to any distributions of Cash Flow or liquidation proceeds to the Members. Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles V and XII, until any and all Member Loans are repaid in full, the Members shall receive no further distributions from the Company (exclusive of any fees the Members and/or their respective Affiliates may be entitled to receive pursuant to Article II) and all cash otherwise distributable with respect to the Interests of the Members under Articles V and XII shall be paid to the Member(s) advancing Member Loan(s) in proportion to, and as a reduction of, the outstanding balance(s) of such Member Loan(s), with such funds being applied first to reduce any interest accrued thereon, and then to reduce the principal amount thereof.
3.05 Campus Financing
Concurrently with the close of escrow for the Campus Subsidiary’s purchase of the Campus, (i) the Campus Subsidiary will obtain an acquisition loan (the “Acquisition Loan”) from SPT CA Fundings 2, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Acquisition Lender”), and (ii) the Member Subsidiary will obtain mezzanine financing (the “Mezzanine Loan”) from the Acquisition Lender. The Acquisition Loan shall be secured by a first deed of trust that will encumber the Campus and the Mezzanine Loan shall be secured by a pledge of the Campus Subsidiary Interest. An Affiliate of the FP Member (the “FP Guarantor”) shall execute and deliver to the Acquisition Lender any and all “bad-boy” carve-out guaranties and similar documents required by such Acquisition Lender and a title indemnity agreement required by the title companies (collectively, the “Recourse Documents”) provided such Recourse Documents are reasonably approved by the FP Guarantor and the RP Member. The FP Guarantor shall also have the right to execute any Recourse Documents required for any refinancing of the Acquisition Loan and the Mezzanine Loan (or any other permanent financing obtained by the Company or any Subsidiary) in a form reasonably approved by the FP Guarantor and the RP Member. Except as provided above in this Section 3.05, no Member or Affiliate thereof shall be required to provide any guaranty or indemnity to the Acquisition Lender or any other lender providing any financing to the Company or any Subsidiary (collectively, the “Lender”) including, without limitation, any completion, repayment or other guaranty.
3.06 Affiliate Liability and Indemnification
The Members acknowledge and agree that the FP Guarantor shall execute the Recourse Documents as an accommodation to the Company, the Member Subsidiary, the Campus Subsidiary and the Members. If the FP Guarantor incurs any loss, cost, expense, damage, claim or liability including, without limitation, any attorneys’ and expert witness fees and costs (collectively, the “Losses”) under any such Recourse Document, then the Company, Member Subsidiary and the Campus Subsidiary shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, protect
22-
and hold the FP Guarantor wholly harmless from and against such Losses to the extent such Losses do not result from the Bad Acts of the Manager (so long as the Manager is an Affiliate of the FP Guarantor), FP Member, FP Guarantor or any Affiliate thereof. The term “Bad Acts” means (i) the gross negligence, intentional fraud, willful misconduct, misappropriation of funds or other intentional wrongful act or intentional wrongful omission of any Person (other than liability caused by a failure to pay a monetary obligation guaranteed by a Recourse Document), (ii) any breach by any Person of this Agreement causing a default under a Financing, or (iii) any breach of the loan documents evidencing any loan obtained by the Company or any Subsidiary caused by the acts of such Person (other than a breach caused by a failure to pay a monetary obligation guaranteed by a Recourse Document).
If (A) the FP Guarantor incurs any Losses under any Recourse Document for which it is entitled to be indemnified, defended, protected and held harmless pursuant to this Section 3.06, and (B) the Company, the Member Subsidiary or the Campus Subsidiary fails to satisfy such obligation within ten (10) days following FP Guarantor’s demand, then the RP Member and the SW Member shall be required to reimburse the FP Guarantor for such Member’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses following such ten (10)-day period. The term “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to each of the RP Member and the SW Member, (1) one hundred percent (100%) of any Losses incurred by the FP Guarantor under any Recourse Document as a result of the Bad Acts of such Member (or any Affiliate thereof but excluding any Affiliate in its capacity as a Lender) (for avoidance of doubt, each of the RP Member and the SW Member is responsible for its own Bad Acts only and not the Bad Acts of the other Member), and (2) such Member’s Contribution Percentage of any Losses incurred by the FP Guarantor under any Recourse Document that are not attributable to the Bad Acts of any other Member (or any Affiliate thereof). If the RP Member or the SW Member fails to reimburse the FP Guarantor for any Losses incurred under any Recourse Document in breach of the terms of this Section 3.06, then the other of such Members shall be obligated to reimburse the FP Guarantor for its Additional Percentage (and not its Contribution Percentage) of such Losses (and such other Member shall be subrogated to the rights of the FP Guarantor against the breaching Member to the extent any payment is made to the FP Guarantor under this sentence). The term “Additional Percentage” means such Member’s Contribution Percentage divided by the sum of such Member’s Contribution Percentage and the FP Member’s Contribution Percentage. The reimbursement obligation of the RP Member and the SW Member shall be guaranteed pursuant to a Guaranty of Member Obligation in the form of Exhibit “C” attached hereto (the “Guaranty Agreement”) to be entered into by and between the FP Guarantor, Heritage Fields Capital Co-Investor Member, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is an Affiliate of RP Member (the “RP Guarantor”), and LNR XX XX, LLC, which is an Affiliate of SW Member (the “SW Guarantor”).
The Members acknowledge and agree that (i) the FP Guarantor is a third-party beneficiary of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06, and (ii) the FP Guarantor has the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this Section 3.06.
23-
3.07 Capital Contributions in General
Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) no part of the contributions of any Member to the capital of the Company may be withdrawn by such Member, (ii) no Member shall be entitled to receive interest on such Member’s contributions to the capital of the Company, (iii) no Member shall have the right to demand or receive property other than cash in return for such Member’s contributions to the Company, and (iv) no Member shall be required or be entitled to contribute additional capital to the Company.
ARTICLE IV
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
4.01 Net Losses
After giving effect to the special allocations in Section 4.04, Net Losses for any taxable year shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Target Capital Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such taxable year.
4.02 Net Profits
After giving effect to the special allocations in Section 4.04, Net Profits for any taxable year shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Target Capital Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such taxable year. No portion of the Net Profits for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than or equal to his Target Capital Account for such taxable year.
4.03 General Allocation
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all allocations are intended to satisfy the “fractions” and “substantial economic effect” rules contained in Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code, and items of income, gain, credit, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members only to the extent such allocations would not violate such rules.
4.04 Special Allocations
Subject to Section 4.03, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Net Losses or items of expense, loss or deduction shall be allocated to any Member to the extent such an allocation would cause or increase a deficit standing in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account and any such Net Losses and items of expense, loss and deduction shall instead be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective “interests” in the Company as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). In addition, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with and to the extent required by the qualified income offset provisions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Subject to Section 4.03, but notwithstanding any other provision in this Article IV, (i) any and all “partnership nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the Company for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Profit Percentages; (ii) any and all “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) attributable to any “partner nonrecourse debt” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Member that bears the
24-
“economic risk of loss” (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2) for such “partner nonrecourse debt” in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(e)(2) and 1.704-2(i)(l); (iii) each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in accordance with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(g); and (iv) each Member with a share of minimum gain attributable to any “partner nonrecourse debt” shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in accordance with the partner minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(5). Any and all “excess nonrecourse liabilities” as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Profit Percentages.
4.05 Curative Allocations
Except for the allocations set forth in clause (i) of Section 4.04 above, the allocations set forth in Section 4.04 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.05. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than Section 4.03 and the Regulatory Allocations), the Manager shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02. In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.05, the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 4.04 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under the provisions of Section 4.04.
4.06 Differing Tax Basis; Tax Allocation
Depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions and gain or loss with respect to each item of property treated as contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated between the Members for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and for state income tax purposes in accordance with comparable provisions of the California Revenue & Taxation Code, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value (as determined for purposes of the maintenance of Capital Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)).

ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTION OF CASH FLOW
5.01 Cash Flow
Subject to Sections 3.03(a), 3.04, 5.02 and 12.02, Cash Flow shall be distributed by the Manager on the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, or (ii) thirty (30) days following a sale, refinancing or other capital transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary if such Cash Flow is attributable to such transaction, in the following order of priority:
(a) Unreturned Contribution Accounts. First, to the Members in proportion to, and to the extent of, the positive balance standing in each such Member’s Unreturned Contribution Account, if any; and
(b) Percentage Interests. Thereafter, to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
5.02 Tax Withholding
Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Manager determines in good faith that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to (i) any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) any “imputed underpayment” within the meaning of the New Partnership Audit Procedures attributable to such Member and paid by the Company as a result of an adjustment with respect to any item of the Company, including any interest or penalties with respect to any such adjustment (collectively, an “Imputed Underpayment Amount”). Any Imputed Underpayment Amount that the Manager cannot attribute to a Member shall be treated as an expense of the Company. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Manager that such payment must be made unless (A) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Member, or (B) the Manager determines that such payment may be satisfied out of the Cash Flow of the Company that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Member. Each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a security interest in such Member’s Membership Interest to secure such Member’s obligation to pay to the Company any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 5.02. The Manager is authorized to issue certificates evidencing the Members’ respective Interests (the “LLC Certificates”) and is further authorized to retain possession and control of any LLC Certificate evidencing the Interest of any Member receiving a loan pursuant to this Section 5.02. If a Member fails to pay any amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.02 when due, then each other Member may elect to make the payment to the Company on behalf of such defaulting Member, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Member and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Company as against such defaulting Member (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Member hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial
26-
banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., 15 days after demand), until such amount is paid in full. Each Member shall take such actions as the Company or the Manager shall request to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder. The obligations of a Member set forth in this Section 5.02 shall survive the withdrawal of any Member from the Company or any transfer of a Member’s Interest.
5.03 Limitation on Distributions
Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make any distributions of Cash Flow (or other proceeds) to any Member if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law.
5.04 In-Kind Distribution
Subject to Article VII, assets of the Company (other than cash) shall not be distributed in kind to the Members without the prior written approval of all of the Members.
ARTICLE VI
TRANSFER OF INTERESTS/BUY-OUT
6.01 Restrictions on Transfer
Except as provided in this Article VI or in Articles VII or VIII, (i) no Disposition (by operation of law or otherwise) shall be made by a Member, directly or indirectly of the whole or any part of such Member’s Interest (including the pledge of any constituent member’s interest in a Member and/or any other Disposition of any direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest in a Member or in a Member’s interest in the capital, Net Profits, Net Losses or Cash Flow of the Company), and (ii) no Person shall be issued any Interest and/or be admitted as member of the Company or any Subsidiary (after the Effective Date) except as permitted under Sections 2.04(l) and 2.05(b).
6.02 Permitted Dispositions
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03 (and the remaining terms of this Section 6.02), a Member may effect a Permitted Disposition without the consent of any other Member provided that the Member effecting such Permitted Disposition gives each of the other Members at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice of such Permitted Disposition, and provided further that (i) where such prior written notice is not feasible (e.g., where the Permitted Disposition results from a transfer by will or intestacy), such notice shall be given no later than ten (10) Business Days after the closing of such Permitted Disposition, and (ii) no such notice shall be required where the Permitted Disposition is neither a direct transfer of an Interest nor results in a change in the control of the Member effecting such Permitted Disposition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any direct transfer of a Member’s Interest, such transfer shall constitute a Permitted Disposition solely if such transfer constitutes one hundred percent (100%) of such Member’s Interest to a single Entity that is permitted under this Section 6.02 so that at any point in time, only one (1) Entity shall constitute a member.

6.03 Conditions
No assignee or transferee of an Interest or of any interest in the capital, Net Profits, Net Losses or Cash Flow of the Company (whether such assignee or transferee has become an assignee or transferee by direct assignment or transfer, operation of law or other reason or cause) shall be admitted as a substituted member of the Company unless, in the case of an assignee or transferee of an Interest, all of the following conditions are satisfied (it being agreed that an assignee or a transferee of a mere interest in the capital, Net Profits, Net Losses or Cash Flow of the Company shall never be admitted as a substituted member of the Company without the unanimous written approval of the Members):

(b) Execution of Agreement. The transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Members an agreement in which such transferee assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, whether first accruing before or after the date of the transferee’s admission as a member. Unless otherwise unanimously agreed to by the Members (and subject to the following sentence), the transferring Member shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities of such Member or its Affiliates that arise out of any acts, omissions, events or circumstances that took place prior to the effective date of such Disposition (it being understood that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the transferor Member shall be relieved of such obligations to the extent that the same arise from acts, omissions, facts or circumstances first occurring after such Disposition and the same are assumed in writing by the transferee); and
(c) Satisfaction of Conditions. All the conditions set forth in Section 6.04.
6.04 Additional Conditions
(a) Without limiting the right of the Members to undertake any Disposition authorized under Articles VII or VIII, each Member agrees that it shall not, unless approved in writing by all Members, directly or indirectly Dispose of its Interest, or any portion thereof or direct or indirect interest therein (and any attempted Disposition shall be ineffective and void ab initio), if such Disposition would create a default under the terms of any indebtedness or other contractual obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary then outstanding to any third party.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no Member shall transfer all or any portion of its Interest, or take any other action, if such transfer or action, could (by itself or in conjunction with other actions) result in the Company being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder; and provided further that any such transfer or action shall be null and void and of no force or effect whatsoever.

6.05 General Provisions Regarding Assignments

A transferee who has been admitted as a substituted member in accordance with this Article VI shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a member under this Agreement, and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement. The Company shall not be dissolved or wound up as a result of the admission of such transferee as a substituted member of the Company, but instead shall continue as before with, however, the substitution of such transferee.
(b) Amendment and/or Restatement of this Agreement. Upon admission of a substituted member, the Company shall amend and/or restate this Agreement to document such admission (including, without limitation, by amending Exhibit “A” to reflect the name, address and Percentage Interest of such member). As part of the amendment and restatement of this Agreement, the Members (other than the transferee and other than the Member whose Interest is being transferred to such transferee) shall reasonably cooperate with the transferring Member so as to provide Permitted Dispositions for such transferee that provide such transferee with Permitted Disposition rights that (i) are substantially the same as those of any other Member (including the transferring Member) whose ownership structures are similar to that of the transferee, or (ii) if the transferee’s ownership structure is not similar to that of any other Member, achieve a level of protection for the other Members and a level of transfer flexibility for the transferee that is substantially the same as that provided by the Permitted Disposition provisions relating to the other Members.
(c) Effective Date of Admission.

6.08 Waiver of Withdrawal and Purchase Rights
Except in connection with any Disposition permitted in accordance with this Agreement, no Member may voluntarily withdraw, resign or retire from the Company without the prior written consent of each other Member, which consent may be withheld in each such other Member’s sole and absolute discretion. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to withdraw and/or resign from the Company pursuant to Section 18-603 of the Delaware Act and hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to receive the fair value of such Member’s Interest in the Company upon such resignation and/or withdrawal pursuant to Section 18-604 of the Delaware Act.

ARTICLE VII
RIGHT TO REQUIRE A SALE OF PROPERTY
7.01 Right to Require a Sale
(a) By Voting Members. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.04(a) (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.01(a)), each Voting Member (the “Implementing Member”) that is not in Material Default shall have the unilateral right, power and authority from time-to-time after the three (3) year anniversary of the acquisition of the Campus by the Campus Subsidiary (the “Lockout Date”) to elect to require the Company to cause the Campus Subsidiary to market and sell, in bulk, either (i) the entire Broadcom Property, (ii) the entire Spec Property, or (iii) the entire portion of the Campus then owned by the Campus Subsidiary (the “Remaining Campus Property”). For purposes of applying this Article VII, any portion of the Campus that is owned by the Additional Subsidiary on the date the provisions of this Section 7.01 are implemented shall be deemed to be owned by the Campus Subsidiary. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Implementing Member must elect to sell, in bulk, (i) both Broadcom
30-
Buildings together if the Implementing Member elects for the Broadcom Property to be sold, (ii) both Spec Buildings together if the Implementing Member elects for the Spec Property to be sold, or (iii) the entire Remaining Campus Property if the Implementing Member elects for the entire Remaining Campus Property to be sold. The Implementing Member may exercise its right to require a sale under this Section 7.01(a) by delivering written notice of such election (the “IM Forced Sale Notice”) to the other Voting Member (the “Non-Implementing Member”) and the SW Member. The IM Forced Sale Notice shall include (A) a description of the portion of the Campus that the Implementing Member desires to be marketed and sold (the “Offered Property”), (B) an all-cash minimum sale price for the Offered Property (the “Forced Sale Offer Price”), which shall be payable upon the close of escrow for the sale of the Offered Property, (C) a minimum deposit equal to at least five percent (5%) of the Forced Sale Offer Price (the “Minimum Deposit”), and (D) any other material terms and conditions that are determined by the Implementing Member that differ in any material respect from the terms and conditions to be included in the Offered Property PSA described in Section 7.03 below. If the Offered Property designated by the Implementing Member in any IM Forced Sale Notice is less than the Remaining Campus Property, then such Implementing Member may not implement the provisions of this Section 7.01 requiring any other portion of the Campus to be marketed and sold until after the first anniversary of the effective date of such IM Forced Sale Notice.
(b) By SW Member. The SW Member shall have the unilateral right, power and authority exercisable at any time after the earlier of the four (4) year anniversary of the acquisition of the Campus by the Campus Subsidiary and August 1, 2021 (the “SW Lockout Date”), to elect to require the Company to cause the Campus Subsidiary to market and sell in bulk the Remaining Campus Property; provided, however, that the SW Member shall not be entitled to exercise such right at any time it is in Material Default. For purposes of applying this Article VII, any portion of the Campus that is owned by the Additional Subsidiary on the date the provisions of this Section 7.01 are implemented shall be deemed to be owned by the Campus Subsidiary. For the avoidance of any doubt, in no event may the SW Member require the Company to cause the Campus Subsidiary to sell less than the entire Remaining Campus Property. The SW Member may exercise its right to require a sale under this Section 7.01(b) by delivering written notice of such election (the “SW Forced Sale Notice”) to the Voting Members. Upon delivery of the SW Forced Sale Notice, and for all purposes under this Agreement, the Remaining Campus Property shall constitute the “Offered Property,” the SW Member shall be the “Implementing Member,” and the Voting Members shall, together or acting alone as the context requires pursuant to Section 7.02(a) below, constitute the “Non-Implementing Member.” The SW Forced Sale Notice shall include (A) an all-cash minimum sale price for the Remaining Campus Property which amount shall constitute the “Forced Sale Offer Price” for all purposes under this Agreement, and which shall be payable upon the close of escrow for the sale of the Offered Property, (B) a minimum deposit equal to the Minimum Deposit, and (C) any other material terms and conditions that are determined by the SW Member as the Implementing Member that differ in any material respect from the terms and conditions to be included in the Offered Property PSA described in Section 7.03 below. The IM Forced Sale Notice and the SW Forced Sale Notice are hereafter referred to as a “Forced Sale Notice.”
31-
7.02 Right of First Offer
(a) Non-Implementing Member’s Option. For a period of thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Forced Sale Notice, the Non-Implementing Member provided it is not in Material Default shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect by delivering written notice of such election (the “Purchase Notice”) to the Implementing Member to purchase the entire Offered Property for the Forced Sale Offer Price (as adjusted under Section 7.03(b) below). If the Non-Implementing Member timely delivers a Purchase Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 7.02(a) above, then the entire Offered Property shall be sold to the Non-Implementing Member in accordance with the terms of Section 7.03 (subject to the right of the Non-Implementing Member to restructure such sale in accordance with the terms of Section 7.04). In the case of a Forced Sale Notice delivered by the SW Member pursuant to Section 7.01(b) above, if both Non-Implementing Members timely elect to purchase the Offered Property, then such Non-Implementing Members shall be entitled to purchase the Offered Property in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests (or in such different proportion as such Non-Implementing Members otherwise agree). If the Non-Implementing Members thereafter fail to reach agreement on any decision or action to be made or taken by the Non-Implementing Member under this Article VII, then the decision or action of Non-Implementing Member that has elected to purchase the majority of the Offered Property shall control and bind both of the Non-Implementing Members.
(b) Sale on the Open Market. If the Non-Implementing Member fails to timely deliver a Purchase Notice (or is precluded from delivering a Purchase Notice because it is in Material Default), then the Voting Members shall jointly direct the Manager to cause the Offered Property to be listed for sale by the Campus Subsidiary on the open market by either CBRE, Eastdil Secured, or HFF (individually, an “Approved Broker” and collectively, the “Approved Brokers”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Forced Sale Notice (provided such listing shall not reference the Forced Sale Offer Price). If the Voting Members are unable to agree upon the selection of an Approved Broker, then the Voting Members shall each notify the SW Member of the identity of each party’s preferred Approved Broker, and the decision as to which of two (2) identified Approved Brokers shall be selected shall be made by the SW Member; provided, however, if the SW Member is the Implementing Member, then the Manager alone shall select the Approved Broker. If only one Bona-Fide Offer is received by the Campus Subsidiary for the Offered Property, then the Campus Subsidiary shall accept such offer upon the instruction of the Implementing Member which the Implementing Member may give or not give in its discretion. If multiple Bona-Fide Offers are received by the Campus Subsidiary for the Offered Property and if the Voting Members are unable to agree upon the selection of the purchaser among the potential purchasers who have made Bona Fide Offers and acceptance of a Bona-Fide Offer, then the Voting Members shall each notify the SW Member of the identity of each party’s preferred purchaser, and the decision as to which of two (2) purchasers identified by the Voting Members shall be selected and such Bona-Fide Offer accepted shall be made by the SW Member. If the SW Member is the Implementing Member, and the Voting Members are unable to agree upon the preferred purchaser, then the Manager alone shall select the purchaser and
32-
accept such Bona-Fide Offer. The term “Bona-Fide Offer” means any offer that is received by the Campus Subsidiary for the Offered Property from an independent creditworthy third-party purchaser with a purchase price of not less than ninety-six percent (96%) of the Forced Sale Offer Price and a deposit of not less than the Minimum Deposit and that otherwise is on market terms as determined by the Implementing Member in its discretion and is consistent with the material terms and conditions set forth in the Forced Sale Notice, if any. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Campus Subsidiary may only accept an all-cash offer for the sale of the Offered Property payable in full upon the closing of such sale (unless the Implementing Member and the Non-Implementing Member both approve any offer that is not an all-cash offer).
If the Campus Subsidiary fails (i) to enter into a binding purchase and sale agreement for the Offered Property for a purchase price and on the other terms and conditions as described above set forth in a Bona-Fide Offer within two hundred seventy (270) days following the effective date of the Forced Sale Notice, or (ii) to close the sale of the entire Offered Property within one (1) year following the effective date of the Forced Sale Notice, then the Implementing Member shall be precluded from requiring any portion of the Campus to be marketed and sold, unless the Implementing Member again complies with the provisions of this Article VII.
7.03 Terms of Purchase
If the Non-Implementing Member timely and validly elects to purchase the entire Offered Property pursuant to Section 7.02, then the Offered Property shall be sold to the Non-Implementing Member in accordance with the following terms and conditions (subject to the terms of Section 7.04):
(a) Offered Property Purchase Agreement. The Offered Property shall be purchased by the Non-Implementing Member pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement to be executed by the Campus Subsidiary and the Non-Implementing Member in a form reasonably approved by the Implementing Member and the Non-Implementing Member (the “Offered Property PSA”). The Offered Property PSA shall contain the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 7.03; provided, however, if any term or condition contained in the Forced Sale Notice is inconsistent with the terms or conditions for the Offered Property PSA set forth below in this Section 7.03, then the term or condition set forth in the Forced Sale Notice shall govern and control.
(b) Purchase Price for the Offered Property. The “Forced Sale Purchase Price” for the Offered Property shall equal the Forced Sale Purchase Price, adjusted for the prorations set forth in Section 7.03(f) below.
(c) Purchase Price Deposit. For any offer by the Non-Implementing Member to purchase the Offered Property pursuant to this Article VII to be valid and effective, the Non-Implementing Member shall be required, upon the delivery of its Purchase Notice, to deposit into the Escrow established pursuant to Section 7.03(d) below a deposit that will be non-refundable (except if the Implementing Member breaches its obligation to sell the Offered Property to the Non-Implementing Member or there is a failure of a
33-
condition for buyer’s benefit under the Offered Property PSA) and equal to five percent (5%) of the Forced Sale Purchase Price (the “Purchase Price Deposit”). The Purchase Price Deposit shall be applicable to the Forced Sale Purchase Price to be paid by the Non-Implementing Member for the Offered Property and shall be released by the Escrow Holder to the Campus Subsidiary at the closing of the purchase by the Non-Implementing Member. The Purchase Price Deposit shall be deposited by the Non-Implementing Member with Escrow Holder by a confirmed wire transfer of immediately available federal funds. If the Non-Implementing Member breaches its obligation to purchase the Offered Property under the Offered Property PSA (such Member, a “Defaulting Forced Sale Member”), then the Campus Subsidiary shall retain the Purchase Price Deposit as liquidated damages (as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity) and the Non-Implementing Member shall thereafter have no right to deliver a Forced Sale Notice under Section 7.01 or to elect to purchase the Offered Property under Section 7.02. In addition and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Defaulting Forced Sale Member shall not be entitled to any benefit of a forfeited Purchase Price Deposit and the Members other than the Defaulting Forced Sale Member shall receive the entire Purchase Price Deposit in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests.
(d) Escrow. Any sale of the Offered Property pursuant to this Article VII shall be accomplished through an escrow (“Escrow”) established with First American Title Insurance Company or such other reputable and nationally or regionally recognized escrow company selected by the Non-Implementing Member (the “Escrow Holder”). At least one (1) Business Day prior to the close of escrow under Section 7.03(e) below, (i) the Non-Implementing Member shall deposit with the Escrow Holder any documents required under the Offered Property PSA and the balance of the purchase price to be paid for the Offered Property by a confirmed wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, and (ii) the Manager shall cause the Campus Subsidiary to deposit with the Escrow Holder any documents required under the Offered Property PSA for the transfer of the Offered Property including, without limitation, a duly executed and acknowledged grant deed conveying fee title to the Offered Property to the Non-Implementing Member, an assignment and assumption of leases, an assignment of general intangibles, a xxxx of sale, a partial assignment and assumption of development agreement and site specific approvals, and such other documents as are reasonably necessary and customary to cause the Campus Subsidiary to transfer title to the Offered Property to the Non-Implementing Member. Each of the Manager, on behalf of the Campus Subsidiary, and the Non-Implementing Member shall be required to execute and deliver to the Escrow Holder its standard escrow instructions; provided, however, to the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 7.03 and such instructions, this Section 7.03 shall control.
(e) Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Offered Property shall be held at the principal office of the Company in the State of California. The Non-Implementing Member shall have the thirty (30)-day period following the delivery of the Forced Sale Notice to conduct its due diligence review and analysis with respect to the Offered Property. The closing shall be held on a Business Day designated by the Non-Implementing Member that is within (i) thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Purchase Notice if the Offered Property to be purchased at such closing is for the Remaining Campus Property, or (ii) sixty (60) days following the effective date of the Purchase Notice if the Offered Property to be purchased at such closing is for less than the Remaining Campus Property.
34-
(f) Prorations. Non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments on the Offered Property shall be prorated between the Campus Subsidiary, as the seller, and the Non-Implementing Member, as the purchaser, as of the closing. Rents, utility charges and all other operating expenses, debt service and loan impounds shall also be prorated as of the date of closing in a customary manner. The Campus Subsidiary shall be responsible for paying management fees, insurance, debt service and other operating costs through the date of closing. The Campus Subsidiary, as the seller, shall either deliver to the Non-Implementing Member, or give the Non-Implementing Member a credit against the purchase price for, the amount of any tenant security deposits and other prepaid rent.
(g) Condition of Title; Costs. Subject to the obligation of the Offered Property to be transferred lien free pursuant to Section 7.03(j), the Non-Implementing Member shall be deemed to have approved the condition of title of the Offered Property as of the date the Purchase Notice is delivered. The close of escrow shall be conditioned only upon (i) the Non-Implementing Member obtaining from the title company selected by the Non-Implementing Member, a title policy subject only to the condition of title as of the date the Purchase Notice was delivered (excluding any monetary liens and/or delinquent taxes and assessments, if any) in the amount of the purchase price payable for the Offered Property under the Offered Property PSA, and (ii) the satisfaction (or waiver) of any conditions set forth in the Forced Sale Notice. Any and all escrow fees, title insurance premiums, documentary transfer taxes (or similar taxes), recording costs and any other closing costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Offered Property shall be allocated and borne by the Campus Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Non-Implementing Member, on the other hand, in accordance with local custom in Orange County, California. Notwithstanding the above, the Campus Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Non-Implementing Member, on the other hand, shall be responsible for paying their own legal fees and costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Offered Property.
(h) Condemnation or Damage. If all or any portion of the Offered Property to be purchased pursuant to this Article VII is taken by any governmental entity through the exercise of such entity’s power of eminent domain or materially damaged, then within ten (10) days following the date the Campus Subsidiary receives notice of such taking or material damage, the Non-Implementing Member may elect either (i) to terminate the Escrow, or (ii) to purchase the remaining portion of the Offered Property without any reduction in the purchase price therefor (except a credit for the amount of any deductible under any insurance policy providing coverage for the damage to the Offered Property), in which case the Non-Implementing Member shall be entitled to receive any proceeds or payments resulting from such taking or damage.
35-
(i) Purchase by Nominee. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Non-Implementing Member may cause the Offered Property to be purchased by one (1) or more nominees of the Non-Implementing Member provided any such purchase shall not release the Non-Implementing Member from any of its duties or obligations hereunder.
(j) AS-IS Transfer. The Campus Subsidiary shall transfer title to the Offered Property to the Non-Implementing Member or its nominee(s) on an “AS-IS-WHERE-IS” basis without any representation or warranty whatsoever from the Campus Subsidiary, provided however, if the FP Member is the Implementing Member, the Manager shall cause the Campus Subsidiary to make representations and warranties to the Non-Implementing Member which are substantially similar to the representations and warranties set forth in the Campus Project PSA exclusive of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 7.1.8, 7.1.9, 7.1.16 and 7.1.17 of the Campus Project PSA. The Offered Property shall be transferred to the Non-Implementing Member (or its nominee(s)), free and clear of any and all monetary liens (excluding any non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments).
(k) Purchase Price Credit. The Non-Implementing Member shall have the right to credit against the Forced Sale Purchase Price an amount equal to the proceeds, if any, that would otherwise be distributed to the Non-Implementing Member pursuant to this Agreement upon the close of such purchase if the Non-Implementing Member paid the full Forced Sale Purchase Price for the Offered Property. The Non-Implementing Member shall be deemed to have received a distribution for all purposes of this Agreement equal to the amount, if any, credited against the Forced Sale Purchase Price payable by the Non-Implementing Member. Any sale of the Offered Property to the Non-Implementing Member pursuant to this Article VII shall be treated (i) as a sale by the Campus Subsidiary of an undivided interest in the Offered Property to the extent of the ratio that the portion of the Forced Sale Purchase Price actually paid by the Non-Implementing Member bears to the aggregate amount that the Non-Implementing Member would have been obligated to pay under the Offered Property PSA, and (ii) as an in-kind distribution to the Non-Implementing Member of the remaining undivided interest in the Offered Property. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.01 or Section 12.02, if the Non-Implementing Member exercises its right to credit amounts that would otherwise be received by the Non-Implementing Member against the purchase price in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.03(k), then (A) any and all Cash Flow realized by the Company from such sale shall be distributed to the Implementing Member and the SW Member (and not to the Non-Implementing Member) upon the close of escrow of the Offered Property, and (B) the allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses shall be revised to take into account the in-kind distribution to the Non-Implementing Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.03(k). Any amounts that would otherwise be distributed to the Implementing Member or the SW Member pursuant to clause (A) above shall be applied to repay any Default Loan made to such Member in accordance with the terms of Section 3.03(a).

7.04 Tax Restructuring for the Purchase of the Offered Property
Upon the Non-Implementing Member’s written election, the Non-Implementing Member’s purchase of the Offered Property pursuant to Section 7.03 shall be restructured in such manner as is reasonably determined by the Non-Implementing Member to minimize any potential federal, state or local taxes that may be incurred by the Company and/or the Non-Implementing Member in connection with such purchase provided (i) such restructuring does not require the Implementing Member or the SW Member to acquire title in its name to any real property, and (ii) such restructuring does not reduce the amount that the Implementing Member and the SW Member receive from the sale of the Offered Property. In furtherance of the foregoing (but subject to the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence), the following actions will be promptly implemented to the extent requested by the Implementing Member:
(a) Distribution of the Broadcom Property. If the Offered Property does not constitute the entire Remaining Campus Property, then the Broadcom Property shall be contributed by the Campus Subsidiary on an “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” basis to a newly formed Delaware limited liability company (the “Broadcom Subsidiary”) to be formed by the Campus Subsidiary. The Campus Subsidiary shall initially be the sole member of the Broadcom Subsidiary and own one hundred percent (100%) of the membership interest in the Broadcom Subsidiary (the “Broadcom Subsidiary Interest”).
(b) Distribution of the Broadcom Subsidiary Interest. If the Broadcom Property has been contributed to the Broadcom Subsidiary, then the Campus Subsidiary shall, in turn, concurrently distribute the Broadcom Subsidiary Interest to the Member Subsidiary, which, in turn, shall concurrently distribute the Broadcom Subsidiary Interest to the Company, all on an “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” basis. The Company shall, in turn, concurrently distribute the Broadcom Subsidiary Interest to the Members on an “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” basis in proportion to the indirect interest owned by each Member in the Broadcom Property through its ownership interest in the Company (as reasonably determined by the Manager).
(c) Restatement of Broadcom Subsidiary Limited Liability Company Agreement. The limited liability company agreement governing the Broadcom Subsidiary shall be amended and restated if the Offered Property is the Spec Property to conform to the terms of this Agreement (taking into account that the only asset of the Broadcom Subsidiary will be the Broadcom Property) since the Members will continue to own an indirect interest in the Broadcom Property. The Members agree to negotiate in good faith the terms of the amended and restated limited liability company agreement that will govern the Broadcom Subsidiary.
(d) Purchase of the Broadcom Property. If the Offered Property is the Broadcom Property, then the Non-Implementing Member shall have the right to purchase the entire portion of the Broadcom Subsidiary Interest distributed to the Implementing Member and the SW Member (“Remaining Subsidiary Interest”). The purchase and sale of the Remaining Subsidiary Interest to the Non-Implementing Member shall be effectuated pursuant to an Assignment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” (the “Assignment Agreement”). Each Member shall be responsible for paying its own legal fees and costs incurred in connection with the sale of the Remaining Subsidiary Interest. The purchase price for the Remaining Subsidiary Interest (the “Subsidiary Interest Purchase Price”) shall equal the amount that would have been distributed to the Implementing Member and the SW Member pursuant to Section 12.02
37-
as reasonably determined by the Manager following the sale of the Offered Property for the Forced Sale Purchase Price (which takes into account the adjustments for prorations and other items described in Section 7.03(b) above). The closing of the purchase and sale for the Remaining Subsidiary Interest shall be held at the principal office of the Company on a Business Day designated by the Non-Implementing Member that is not less than thirty (30) days or more than ninety (90) days following the effective date of the Purchase Notice. The Members acknowledge and agree that the Non-Implementing Member may cause the entire Remaining Subsidiary Interest to be purchased by any nominee(s) of the Non-Implementing Member provided any such purchase shall not release the Non-Implementing Member from any of its duties or obligations hereunder.
(e) Purchase of the Spec Property. If the Offered Property is the Spec Property (and the Company still owns an indirect interest in the Broadcom Property), then the Non-Implementing Member shall have the right to purchase the entire interest of the Implementing Member and the SW Member in the Company following the distribution of the Broadcom Subsidiary Interest pursuant to Section 7.04(b) above. Alternatively, at the request of the Non-Implementing Member, (i) the Member Subsidiary shall distribute the Campus Subsidiary Interest to the Company (following the distribution of the Broadcom Subsidiary Interest pursuant to Section 7.04(b) above), which shall then distribute the Campus Subsidiary Interest to the Members on an “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” basis in proportion to the indirect interest owned by each Member in the Campus Subsidiary through its ownership interest in the Company (as reasonably determined by the Manager), and (ii) the Non-Implementing Member shall purchase the entire interest of the Implementing Member and the SW Member in the Campus Subsidiary. The purchase price for the Implementing Member’s and the SW Member’s interest in the Company or the Campus Subsidiary shall equal the amount that would have been distributed to the Implementing Member and the SW Member pursuant to Section 12.02 as reasonably determined by the Manager following the sale of the Spec Property for the Forced Sale Purchase Price (taking into account the adjustments for prorations and other items described in Section 7.03(b) above). Except as modified by this Section 7.04(e), the terms and conditions of Section 7.04(d) shall apply to the purchase and sale of the Implementing Member’s and the SW Member’s interest in the Company or the Campus Subsidiary pursuant to this Section 7.04(e).
(f) Purchase of the Remaining Campus Property Pursuant to a Forced Sale Notice Delivered by a Voting Member. If the Offered Property consists of the entire Remaining Campus Property pursuant to a Forced Sale Notice delivered by a Voting Member pursuant to Section 7.01(a), then the Non-Implementing Member shall have the right to purchase the entire Interest of the Implementing Member and the SW Member in the Company. The purchase price for each selling Member’s Interest in the Company shall equal the amount that would have been distributed to such selling Member pursuant to Section 12.02 as reasonably determined by the Manager following the sale of the Remaining Campus Property for the Forced Sale Purchase Price (taking into account the adjustments for prorations and other items described in Section 7.03(b) above). Except as modified by this Section 7.04(f), the terms and conditions of Section 7.04(d) shall apply to the purchase and sale of the Implementing Member’s and each selling Member’s interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 7.04(f).
38-
(g) Purchase of the Remaining Campus Property Pursuant to a Forced Sale Notice delivered by the SW Member. If the Offered Property consists of the entire Remaining Campus Property pursuant to a Forced Sale Notice delivered by the SW Member pursuant to Section 7.01(b), then the Non-Implementing Member(s) shall have the right to purchase the entire Interest of the SW Member in the Company. The purchase price for the SW Member’s Interest in the Company shall be the same purchase price that the SW Member is entitled to receive under Section 7.04(d) above. Except as modified by this Section 7.04(g), the terms and conditions of Section 7.04(d) shall apply to the purchase and sale of the SW Member’s interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 7.04(g).
(h) Payment of Release Price. Immediately prior to implementing any of the steps described above in this Section 7.04, the Non-Implementing Member shall pay any release price required to be paid to the Acquisition Lender to obtain the release of any deed of trust or other security interest encumbering the Offered Property that secures the repayment of the Acquisition Loan or the Mezzanine Loan.
(i) Repayment of Default Loans. The purchase price to be paid by the Non-Implementing Member to the Implementing Member and the SW Member pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be offset at the closing of such purchase by the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Non-Implementing Member to the Implementing Member or the SW Member. Such Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) shall be deemed paid to the extent of such offset, with such deemed payment to be applied first to the accrued interest thereon and thereafter to the payment of the outstanding principal amount thereof. If (i) the purchase price to be paid by the Non-Implementing Member to the Implementing Member or the SW Member is insufficient to fully offset the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Non-Implementing Member to the Implementing Member or the SW Member, and (ii) the Implementing Member and the SW Member will no longer have any Interest in the Company following the closing of any purchase and sale under this Section 7.04, then the portion of any such Default Loan(s) (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be due and payable in full at the closing of the purchase of such selling Member’s Interest pursuant to this Section 7.04. Also, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by either the Implementing Member or the SW Member to the Non-Implementing Member shall be due and payable in full at the closing of the purchase and sale pursuant to this Section 7.04 if the lending Member will have no remaining interest in the Company following such closing.
(j) Miscellaneous Terms. Except as modified by this Section 7.04, the terms and conditions applicable to the purchase and sale of the Offered Property shall apply to the purchase of the Remaining Subsidiary Interest, the Campus Subsidiary Interest or the Interest in the Company, as applicable. The terms and provisions of this Section 7.04 shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that results in each Member, as close as possible, being in the same economic position that such Member would have been in if the Offered Property (as opposed to the Remaining Subsidiary Interest) had been sold pursuant to this Article VII.
39-
7.05 Interim Event of Default
If any Member defaults in its obligation to timely close any purchase under this Article VII, then such Member shall not have any further right to deliver a Forced Sale Notice pursuant to Section 7.01.
7.06 Effect of Delivery of Forced Sale Notice
The Members acknowledge and agree that if any Member has timely and validly delivered a Forced Sale Notice to the other Members and initiated the procedures set forth in this Article VII, then each other Member shall be precluded from delivering a Forced Sale Notice, an SW Forced Sale Notice or an Election Notice under Section 8.01 (until the procedures set forth in this Article VII or Article VIII, as applicable, have been terminated or completed (but subject to the last sentence of Section 7.01(a)).
ARTICLE VIII
IMPASSE BUY/SELL AGREEMENT
8.01 Buy/Sell Election
If, at any time after the first anniversary of the Effective Date but prior to the Lockout Dates there is an Impasse Event, then either Voting Member (provided such Voting Member is not in Material Default) (the “Electing Member”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to implement the buy/sell procedures set forth in this Article VIII by delivering written notice of such election (“Election Notice”) to the other Voting Member (the “Non-Electing Member”) and the SW Member. The Election Notice shall set forth a stated value (the “Stated Value”), as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Electing Member, for the Remaining Campus Property owned by the Campus Subsidiary. For purposes of applying this Article VIII, any portion of the Remaining Campus Property that is owned by the Additional Subsidiary on the date an Election Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 8.01 shall be deemed to be owned by the Campus Subsidiary. For the avoidance of any doubt, the SW Member shall have no right to implement the provisions of this Article VIII.
8.02 Determination of the Buy/Sell Purchase Price
Within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of any Election Notice, the Accounting Firm shall determine (subject to the reasonable verification by the Members) the aggregate amount of cash that would be distributed or paid to each Member pursuant to Section 12.02 if (i) the Remaining Campus Property was sold for the Stated Value; (ii) the liabilities of the Campus Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any and all prepayment penalties or fees contained in any financing documents secured by the Remaining Campus Property or any portion thereof that are at that time in full force and effect) were liquidated in accordance with the terms of the Campus Subsidiary Agreement; (iii) a reserve was not established for any contingent liabilities of the Campus Subsidiary; (iv) the Campus Subsidiary
40-
distributed all of its cash flow to the Member Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Campus Subsidiary Agreement; (v) the liabilities of the Member Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any and all prepayment penalties or fees contained in any financing documents secured by the Campus Subsidiary Interest or any portion thereof that are at that time in full force and effect) were liquidated in accordance with the terms of the Member Subsidiary Agreement; (vi) a reserve was not established for any contingent liabilities of the Member Subsidiary; (vii) the Member Subsidiary distributed all of its cash flow to the Company in accordance with the terms of the Member Subsidiary Agreement; (viii) the liabilities of the Company including, without limitation, any and all Member Loans were liquidated pursuant to Section 12.02(a); (ix) a reserve was not established for any contingent liabilities of the Company pursuant to Section 12.02(b); and (x) the Company made its required distributions to the Members pursuant to Section 12.02(c). Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each other Member written notice (“Price Determination Notice”) thereof. The determination by the Accounting Firm of such amounts including all components thereof, shall be deemed conclusive on all of the Members, absent any material computational error. One hundred percent (100%) of the amount that would be distributed or paid to each Member pursuant to Section 12.02 shall be deemed the purchase price (“Buy/Sell Purchase Price”) for such Member’s Interest for purposes of this Article VIII; subject however, to any pre-closing adjustments described in Section 8.05 and any adjustment for any Default Loan as described in Section 8.08.
8.03 Non-Electing Member’s Option
For a period of sixty (60) days following the effective date of the Price Determination Notice, the Non-Electing Member shall have the option (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VIII) to elect, by delivering written notice (the “Buy/Sell Purchase Notice”) of such election to the Electing Member within such sixty (60)-day period, either (i) to purchase the entire Interest of each of the Electing Member and the SW Member for the Buy/Sell Purchase Price thereof, or (ii) to have the Electing Member purchase the entire Interest of each of the Non-Electing Member and the SW Member for the Buy/Sell Purchase Price thereof. Failure of the Non-Electing Member to timely and validly make an election in accordance with this Section 8.03 shall constitute an election by such Member to have the Electing Member purchase the entire Interest of each of the Non-Electing Member and the SW Member for the Buy/Sell Purchase Price thereof. For purposes of this Article VIII, the “Selling Members” shall be (x) the FP Member and the SW Member, if the buying Member is the RP Member, or (y) the RP Member and the SW Member, if the buying Member is the FP Member; provided, however, that any and all decisions, actions, acceptances, elections, notices, communications, rejections and all other matters affecting or relating to the Selling Members shall be exercised solely by the FP Member or the RP Member, as applicable, and shall bind the SW Member for all purposes hereunder.
8.04 Buy/Sell Deposit
WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE SIXTY (60)-DAY PERIOD SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.03, THE BUYING MEMBER SHALL DEPOSIT INTO AN ESCROW ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED IN THE REASONABLE DISCRETION OF THE BUYING MEMBER WITH FIRST AMERICAN TITLE COMPANY
41-
OR A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TITLE COMPANY, A DEPOSIT BY CONFIRMED WIRE TRANSFER OF IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FEDERAL FUNDS IN AN AGGREGATE AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE PERCENT (5%) OF THE BUY/SELL PURCHASE PRICE FOR EACH SELLING MEMBER’S INTEREST (THE “BUY/SELL DEPOSIT”), WHICH SHALL BE NON-REFUNDABLE UNLESS A SELLING MEMBER BREACHES ITS OBLIGATIONS TO SELL TO THE BUYING MEMBER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARTICLE VIII. UPON THE CLOSING OF THE SALE, THE BUY/SELL DEPOSIT MADE BY THE BUYING MEMBER SHALL BE A CREDIT AGAINST THE BUY/SELL PURCHASE PRICE TO BE PAID BY SUCH BUYING MEMBER TO EACH SELLING MEMBER. IF THE SALE FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A DEFAULT BY THE BUYING MEMBER, THEN THE SELLING MEMBERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN THE BUY/SELL DEPOSIT OF SUCH BUYING MEMBER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS THEIR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AT LAW AND/OR IN EQUITY. THE MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES THAT THE SELLING MEMBERS MAY SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH A DEFAULT BY THE BUYING MEMBER UNDER THIS ARTICLE VIII. THEREFORE, THE MEMBERS HAVE AGREED THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT ANY MEMBER WOULD SUFFER IN SUCH EVENT IS AND SHALL BE THE RIGHT OF THE SELLING MEMBERS TO RETAIN THE BUY/SELL DEPOSIT OF THE DEFAULTING BUYING MEMBER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS THEIR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW AND/OR IN EQUITY. THE MEMBERS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RETENTION OF THE BUY/SELL DEPOSIT IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3375 OR 3369 OR UNDER ANY OTHER STATE LAWS, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO THE SELLING MEMBERS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 AND COMPARABLE PROVISIONS UNDER OTHER APPLICABLE STATE LAWS. THE MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THEIR COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 8.04 AND BY THEIR INITIALS SET FORTH BELOW INDICATE THAT THE FOREGOING REMEDIES ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND AGREE AND COVENANT NOT TO CONTEST THE VALIDITY OF SUCH REMEDY AS A PENALTY, FORFEITURE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY COURT OF LAW (AND/OR IN ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING).

Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall
42-
give each Member written notice (“Adjusted Price Determination Notice”) thereof. The Accounting Firm shall reasonably and in good faith adjust the Buy/Sell Purchase Prices (subject to reasonable verification by the Members), if and to the extent necessary, to take into account the adjustments described in the Adjusted Price Determination Notice and to take into account appropriate prorations that would have been made if there had been an actual sale of the Remaining Campus Property to a third party.
8.06 Closing of Purchase and Sale
The closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Article VIII shall be held at the principal office of the Company in California on a Business Day designated by the buying Member within ninety (90) days following the earlier of (i) the effective date upon which the Non-Electing Member delivered the Buy/Sell Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 8.03, or (ii) the expiration of the sixty (60)-day option period set forth in Section 8.03. Each Selling Member shall transfer to the buying Member (or such buying Member’s nominee(s)) the entire Interest of such Selling Member free and clear of all liens, security interests and competing claims and shall deliver to the buying Member (or such 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, security interests, or competing claims, as the buying Member (or such buying Member’s nominee(s)) shall reasonably request. The Buy/Sell Purchase Price for each Selling Member’s Interest shall be paid by the buying Member by delivering, at the closing, a confirmed wire transfer of readily available federal funds in an aggregate amount equal to the Buy/Sell Purchase Price for such Selling Member’s Interest, less the amount of the Buy/Sell Deposit paid by the buying Member pursuant to Section 8.04 above (which shall be released to the Selling Members at the closing). Each Member shall be responsible for paying its own legal fees and costs incurred in connection with the sale of each Selling Member’s Interest under this Article VIII. Effective as of the closing for the purchase of the Selling Members’ Interests, the Selling Members shall withdraw as members of the Company. If a Selling Member defaults in its obligation to sell and transfer its Interests to the buying Member as required in this Section, then the buying Member (in addition to all rights and remedies afforded by law or equity) shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance.
8.07 Release and Indemnity
On or before the closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Article VIII, (i) the buying Member shall be required to obtain (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Selling Members) a written release of each Selling Member and such Selling Member’s Affiliates from all liabilities under all outstanding Recourse Documents executed by each such party that arise from any act, omission or occurrence after the closing of such purchase and sale, and (ii) the buying Member shall use such Member’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written releases of each Selling Member and such Selling Member’s Affiliates from all other liabilities of the Company for which such Selling Member (and/or its Affiliates) may have personal liability. To the extent the buying Member is unable to obtain any releases described in clause (ii) above before the closing, the buying Member (and its Related Guarantor) shall indemnify, defend and hold each Selling Member (and its Affiliates) wholly harmless from and against all such liabilities and guaranties, except for any liabilities arising out of the Bad Acts of such Selling Member (or any Affiliate thereof). In addition, the buying Member (and its Related Guarantor)
43-
shall indemnify, defend and hold each Selling Member (and its Affiliates) wholly harmless from and against any and all liabilities that arise out of or relate to the Company, for any events occurring on or after the closing, except for any liabilities arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Selling Member (and/or its Affiliates).
8.08 Repayment of Default Loans
The Buy/Sell Purchase Price to be paid by the buying Member for the Interest of each Selling Member shall be offset at the closing of such purchase by the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the buying Member to such Selling Member. Such Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) shall be deemed paid to the extent of such offset, with such deemed payment to be applied first to the accrued interest thereon and thereafter to the payment of the outstanding principal amount thereof. If the Buy/Sell Purchase Price to be paid by the buying Member to either Selling Member is insufficient to fully offset the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the buying Member to such Selling Member, then the portion of any such Default Loan(s) (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be due and payable in full at the closing of the purchase of such Selling Member’s Interest pursuant to this Article VIII. Also, notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by either Selling Member to the buying Member shall be due and payable in full at the closing of the purchase of such Selling Member’s Interest pursuant to this Article VIII.
8.09 Interim Event of Default
If any Member elects (or is deemed to elect) to be a buying Member in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII and defaults in its obligation to timely close any such purchase, then the buying Member shall not have any further right to deliver an Election Notice pursuant to Section 8.01.
8.10 Withdrawal of the Selling Members
Effective as of the closing for the purchase of each Selling Member’s Interest pursuant to this Article VIII, each Selling Member shall withdraw as a member of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnity of each Selling Member and its Affiliates pursuant to Sections 2.07, 3.06, 8.07, 9.06 and 10.07 shall survive the sale of the Interest of such Selling Member and its withdrawal as a member of the Company.
8.11 Effect of Delivery of Election Notice
The Members acknowledge and agree that if any Member has timely and validly delivered an Election Notice to the other Members and initiated the buy/sell procedures set forth in this Article VIII, then each other Member shall be precluded from delivering an Election Notice, a Forced Sale Notice under Section 7.01 and an SW Forced Sale Notice under Section 7.02 (until the procedures set forth in Article VII or this Article VIII, as applicable, have been terminated or completed (but subject to the last sentence of Section 7.01(a)).

Each Guarantor acknowledges that such Guarantor now has and will continue to have full and complete access to any and all information concerning the Company and the transactions contemplated by the LLC Agreement or referred to therein (including, without limitation, all information relating to the Obligations of its Affiliated Member under the LLC Agreement), the value of the assets owned and/or to be acquired by its Affiliated Member and the Company, the financial status of its Affiliated Member and the Company and the ability of its Affiliated Member to pay its Obligations. Each Guarantor further acknowledges that such Guarantor has reviewed and approved copies of the LLC Agreement and is fully informed of the remedies each Member may pursue under the LLC Agreement if there is a breach or default under the LLC Agreement. So long as any of the Obligations of a Guarantor’s Affiliated Member remain unsatisfied or owing, such Guarantor shall keep fully informed as to all aspects of the financial condition of its Affiliated Member and the Company and the performance by its Affiliated Member of its Obligations.
5. Nature of Liability of Each Guarantor. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectability, and is not conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by any Member (or any other party) of any remedies against such Guarantor’s Affiliated Member which it now has or may hereafter have under the LLC Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise.
6. Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the rights of such Guarantor with respect to: (i) all notices to such Guarantor or to any other person or entity, including, without limitation, notices of the acceptance of this Guaranty or the amendment, creation, renewal, extension, modification or accrual of any of the Obligations and, enforcement of any right or remedy with respect thereto, and notice of any other matters relating thereto; (ii) diligence and demand of payment, presentment, protest, dishonor, notice of dishonor; and (iii) all principles or provisions of law which conflict with the terms of this Guaranty. Subject to Paragraph 25 below, each Guarantor further agrees that each Non-Affiliated Member of such Guarantor may enforce this Guaranty, notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Member and/or the Company with respect to the performance of the Obligations or any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which any Member and/or the Company may allege against any other Member. Moreover, each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor’s obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances which constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, but subject to Paragraph 25 below, each Guarantor expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under Division Three, Part 4, Title XIII of the California Civil Code, as modified or recodified from time to time, including, without limitation, California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2822, 2839, 2845 through 2850 and 2899 and any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under Section 3433 of the California Civil Code. [Drafting Note: Subject to review by Delaware counsel since this Guaranty is governed by Delaware law.]
7. Each Guarantor’s Obligations Independent of Affiliated Member. Either or both of the Non-Affiliated Members of each Guarantor may enforce this Guaranty against such Guarantor without the necessity of proceeding against such Guarantor’s Affiliated Member, the Company or any other party. The Non-Affiliated Members of each Guarantor shall not be required to liquidate any lien or any other form of security, instrument or note held by any such
-4-
Non-Affiliated Member prior to making demand on the Affiliated Member’s Guarantor. Each Guarantor expressly waives all rights that such Guarantor may have, if any, to require that any action be brought against its Affiliated Member, the Company or any other person or entity or to require that resort be first made against any security granted by such Affiliated Member or any other person or entity in connection with the Obligations prior to demanding payment or performance hereunder. Subject to Paragraph 25 below, each Guarantor agrees that all of such Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of its Affiliated Member under the LLC Agreement, and that a separate action may be brought against such Guarantor whether or not an action is commenced against its Affiliated Member under the LLC Agreement or any other Guarantor.
8. No Limitation on Each Non-Affiliated Member’s Rights. Each Guarantor agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Non-Affiliated Member of such Guarantor from suing under the LLC Agreement or from exercising any rights available to it thereunder and that the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor. Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by any Non-Affiliated Member of such Guarantor of certain rights and remedies contained in the LLC Agreement may affect or eliminate such Guarantor’s right of subrogation against such Non-Affiliated Member and that such Guarantor may therefore incur a partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder; nevertheless, such Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers each Non-Affiliated Member to exercise, in its sole discretion, any right and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of such Guarantor that, except as otherwise set forth in this Guaranty, the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor further agrees that such Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation or contribution against its Affiliated Member during the continuance of any default by its Affiliated Member of its Obligations. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and/or contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation and/or contribution that such Guarantor may have against its Affiliated Member and/or the Company shall be junior and subordinate to any rights each Non-Affiliated Member of such Guarantor may have against such Affiliated Member and/or the Company.
9. Bankruptcy of the Affiliated Member and/or the Company. So long as any Obligation shall be owing by a Guarantor’s Affiliated Member, such Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of each Non-Affiliated Member of such Guarantor, commence or join with any other party in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings of or against such Affiliated Member and/or the Company. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be altered, limited or affected by any case, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of such Guarantor’s Affiliated Member and/or the Company or by any defense which such Affiliated Member may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such case. Each Member shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan on behalf of any Guarantor that is not affiliated with such Member proposed in such case and to take any other action which such Guarantor would be entitled to take, including, without limitation, the decision to file or not file a claim. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on the Obligations which accrues after the
-5-
commencement of any such proceeding (or, if interest on any portion of the Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on any such portion of the Obligations if said proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the Obligations because it is the intention of the parties that the Obligations should be determined without regard to any rule or law or order which may relieve such Guarantor’s Affiliated Member of any portion of its Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby permits any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar persons or entities to pay each Non-Affiliated Member of such Guarantor, or allow the claim of each such Non-Affiliated Member in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such proceeding is commenced. If all or any portion of the Obligations of any Member are paid by such Member, then the obligations of such Member’s Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect if all or any part of such payment(s) is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise in such case.
10. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered or sent, as the case may be, by any of the following methods: (i) personal delivery; (ii) overnight commercial carrier or delivery service; (iii) registered or certified mail (with postage prepaid and return receipt requested); or (iv) facsimile. Any such notice or other communication shall be deemed received and effective upon the earlier of (A) if personally delivered, the date of delivery to the address of the party to receive such notice; (B) if delivered by overnight commercial carrier or delivery service, one (1) day following the receipt of such communication by such carrier or service from the sender, as shown on the sender’s delivery invoice from such carrier or service, as the case may be; (C) if mailed, forty-eight (48) hours after the date of posting as shown on the sender’s registry or certification receipt; and (D) if given by facsimile, when sent with confirmation of receipt.

(e) Violation of Law. Neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, nor the performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty, nor compliance by such Guarantor with any of the provisions hereof will (i) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any encumbrance upon such Guarantor under, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, security or pledge agreement, license, lease, franchise, permit, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which such Guarantor is a party or to which such Guarantor or any of the other properties or assets of such Guarantor may be subject, or (ii) violate any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such Guarantor or any of the other properties or assets of such Guarantor;

ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT
THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (“Assignment”), is entered into effective as of August 4, 2017, by and between HERITAGE FIELDS EL TORO, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as assignor (“Assignor”), and FIVE POINT OFFICE VENTURE MEMBER I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as assignee (“Assignee”). Except where otherwise provided herein, the capitalized terms used in this Assignment shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement (as such term is defined in Recital A below). This Assignment is made with reference to the following facts and circumstances:
R E C I T A L S:
A. Five Point Office Venture I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), is governed by that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of Five Point Office Venture I, LLC, executed as of May 8, 2017 (the “Agreement”). Assignor formed the Company in connection with Assignor’s desire to assess whether it would acquire the land, buildings and other site improvements being constructed by OC Property Company, LLC (“OCPC”), a subsidiary of Broadcom Corporation (“Broadcom”), in Assignor’s master-planned community known as Great Park Neighborhoods in Irvine, California (the “Broadcom Campus”), pursuant to a repurchase option originally held by Assignor and thereafter assigned to the Company.
B. Assignor presently owns one hundred percent (100%) of the limited liability company interests in the Company (the “Assigned Interest”). Assignor now has determined that it does not desire to acquire the Broadcom Campus. Assignor desires to assign the entire Assigned Interest to Assignee, and Assignee desires to accept the foregoing assignment of the Assigned Interest.
C. The parties hereto now desire to enter into this Assignment in order to provide for the assignment of the Assigned Interest from Assignor to Assignee, all upon such terms and conditions as are hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and the mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
A G R E E M E N T:
1. Assignment. In consideration of Fifteen Million One Hundred Dollars ($15,000,100), which shall be delivered to Assignor upon the closing of escrow in connection with the acquisition of the Property (as such term is defined in the Agreement), and other good and valuable consideration, Assignor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers the Assigned Interest to Assignee. Assignee hereby accepts the
-2-
foregoing assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Assigned Interest. Upon its execution of this Assignment, Assignee is hereby admitted as the substituted member of the Company, and hereby agrees that it is bound by the Agreement as the member of the Company.
2. Assumption. Assignee hereby assumes and agrees to perform and to be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations imposed upon or assumed by Assignor with respect to the Assigned Interest.
3. Rights and Obligations. From and after the effective date hereof, (i) Assignee shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights, powers, privileges and benefits that are attributable to the Assigned Interest, and (ii) Assignor shall have no further rights, powers, privileges, benefits, duties and/or obligations with respect to the Assigned Interest and/or the Company.
4. Representations and Warranties of Assignor. Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Assignee as follows:
(a) Authorization. Assignor has the legal right, power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform all of Assignor’s obligations under this Assignment and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
(b) Ownership of Assigned Interest. Assignor (i) is the record and beneficial owner of the Assigned Interest, (ii) owns the Assigned Interest, free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances or other interests, and (iii) has the absolute right, power and authority to sell, transfer and deliver the Assigned Interest to Assignee. There are no options, warrants, rights of first refusal, puts, calls, commitments or other claims of ownership of any nature or any character whatsoever relating to the Assigned Interest.
The representations and warranties set forth in this Paragraph 4 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Assignment and the transfer of the Assigned Interest to Assignee contemplated herein.
5. Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Assignee hereby represents and warrants to Assignor that Assignee has the absolute and unrestricted right, power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform all of Assignee’s obligations under this Assignment and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein. The representations and warranties set forth in this Paragraph 5 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Assignment and the transfer of the Assigned Interest contemplated herein.
6. No Other Representations/As-Is Purchase. Except as otherwise set forth in this Assignment, Assignee is acquiring the Assigned Interest on an “AS-IS/WHERE-IS” and “WITH ALL FAULTS” basis without any representation or warranty whatsoever from Assignor (or any other party). Assignee is intimately familiar with the Company, the assets and liabilities of the Company, the Agreement and the Assigned Interest. Assignee (and its advisors) is relying solely upon, and has conducted, its own independent inspection, evaluation investigation and analysis of the Company, the assets and liabilities of the Company, the Agreement and the Assigned Interest as Assignee (and its advisors) deem necessary or appropriate in so acquiring the Assigned Interest including, without limitation, an analysis of any and all matters concerning the condition of the Company (including its assets and liabilities), the condition and value of the Company’s assets, the marketability of the Company’s assets and the suitability of the Assigned Interest for Assignee’s intended purposes.
-3-
7. Withdrawal from the Company. Concurrently with the assignment of the Assigned Interest, Assignor (i) hereby fully and completely resigns and withdraws as the member of the Company, and (ii) shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights, powers and/or privileges of a member of the Company.
8. Continuation of the Company. The Company shall not dissolve or terminate as a result of the foregoing assignment of the Assigned Interest, the admission of Assignee as the substituted member of the Company, the cessation of Assignor as the member of the Company, or any other event described in this Assignment; on the contrary, the Company’s business shall continue without interruption and without any break in continuity.
9. Miscellaneous
(a) Further Acts. Each party hereto agrees to perform any further acts, and to execute and deliver (with acknowledgment, verification, and/or affidavit, if required) any further documents and instruments, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to implement and/or accomplish the provisions of this Assignment and the transactions contemplated herein.
(b) Counterparts. This Assignment may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original Assignment, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one (1) and the same Assignment, binding on the parties hereto. The signature of any party hereto to any counterpart hereof shall be deemed a signature to, and may be appended to, any other counterpart hereof.
(c) Entire Agreement. This Assignment contains and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior understandings, if any, with respect thereto. The terms of this Assignment may not be modified, amended, or otherwise changed in any manner, except by an instrument in writing executed by each of the parties hereto.
(d) No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Assignment is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and no other person or entity is entitled to rely upon or benefit from this Assignment or any term hereof.
