7.11 Consent to Execution of Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Members unanimously approve the execution and delivery of the Management Agreement by the Managing Member on behalf of the Society at such time as equity/debt financing for the Initial Project Phase is approved by the Members Committee and obtained by the Society. The Members also agree that Xxxxxxxx and its affiliates will be the preferred providers to the Society of all construction related services and building materials, including the construction of the polo field, golf course, roads and associated infrastructure and the provision of steel, concrete products and electrical supplies.

7.12 Indemnification of Members. The Society shall indemnify and hold harmless the Members, their directors, officers, constituent partners, shareholders and employees, and the representatives on the Members Committee (individually, an “Indemnitee”), as follows:

(a) (i) In any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or investigative, to which an Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a Member or a director, officer, employee, constituent partner or Member of a Member, or a representative on the Members Committee, the Society shall indemnify such Indemnitee against attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties, settlements, and reasonable expenses actually incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with the defence and/or settlement of such action, suit or proceeding, if such Indemnitee acted in good faith, and in the case of the exercise of authority by the Indemnitee under applicable law or this Agreement, other than service for another enterprise, in a manner reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interests of the Society and, in all other cases, that the Indemnitee’s conduct was at least not opposed to the Society’s best interests, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the Indemnitee did not have reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

Apes Hill Dev SRL/Members Agreement

(ii) The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction or upon a guilty plea , or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interests of the Society or not opposed to the Society’s interests.

(b) If a claim or assertion of liability is made or asserted by a third party against an Indemnitee by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee was or is a party or is threatened to be a party by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a Member or is a director, officer, employee, constituent partner, or Member of a Member, or a representative on the Members Committee, Indemnitee will forthwith give to the Society and the Members Committee written notice of the claims or assertion of liability and request the Society to defend the same and any other related claims or assertions of liability that are included in the same complaint. Failure to so notify the Society will not relieve the Society of any liability which the Society might have to Indemnitee except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Society’s legal position. The Society will have the obligation to defend against such claims or assertions and the Society will give written notice to the Indemnitee of acceptance of the defence of such claims and the name of the counsel selected by the Society to defend such claims. The Indemnitee will be entitled to participate with the Society in such defence and also will be entitled at its option (and expense) to employ separate counsel for such defence. In the event the Society does not accept the defence of the claims or in the event that the Society or its counsel fails to use reasonable care in maintaining such defence, the Indemnitee will have the right to employ counsel for such defence at the expense of the Society. The Society and the Indemnitee will cooperate with each other in the defence of any such action and the relevant records of each which are reasonably required for the purposes of the defence will be made available to the other with respect to such defence. If, at the conclusion of any such proceedings, it is determined that the Indemnitee would not have been entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.12 for such claims or assertions, then the Indemnitee shall immediately reimburse the Society for any costs and expenses paid by the Society to defend the Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 7.12(b).

(c) No Indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.12 if it has entered into any settlement or compromise of any claim giving rise to any indemnifiable loss without the written consent of the Society. If a bona fide settlement offer is made with respect to a claim and the Society desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Society will give written notice to the Indemnitee to that effect (the “Settlement Notice”). If the Indemnitee fails to consent to the settlement offer within ten calendar days after receipt of the Settlement Notice, then the Indemnitee will be deemed to have rejected such settlement offer and will be responsible for continuing the defence of such claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Society as to such claim will not exceed the amount of such settlement offer plus any and all reasonable costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Indemnitee up to the date of the Settlement Notice and which are otherwise the responsibility of the Society pursuant to this Section 7.12.

Apes Hill Dev SRL/Members Agreement

(d) Any indemnification permitted under this Section 7.12 shall be made only out of the assets of the Society and no Member shall be obligated to contribute to the capital of or loan funds to, the Society to enable the Society to provide such indemnification.

(e) The indemnification provided by this Section 7.12 shall be in addition to any other rights to which each Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement or vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, as to action in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a Member, as a director, officer, employee, constituent partner or Member, or as a representative on the Members Committee, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitee.

(f) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Society may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any one or more Indemnitees if approved by the Members Committee.

(g) In no event may an Indemnitee subject a Member to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 7.12 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and the heirs, successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the Indemnitees and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

7.13 Indemnification for Brokerage Commissions. Each Member represents and warrants to each other Member that no broker or other Person is entitled to a commission, fee, or other compensation in connection with this Agreement or the Project and such representing Member hereby indemnifies and holds each other Member harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses that the Society and/or each other Member may suffer or incur in the event that any broker or other Person asserts a claim through such representing Member for such a commission, fee or other compensation.

The transferor, however, shall continue to be liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement unless the transferor obtains a written release from the Members Committee.

11.3 Pre-emption / Tag-Along Rights.

(a) Except as set forth in Section 11.2 above, a Member (a “Selling Member”) who desires to sell all or any part of its Member Interest (which for purposes of this paragraph includes one or more elements of the Member Interest, or any portion thereof) (the “Offered Quotas”) must first have a valid and binding agreement with an unrelated arms-length third party (the “Contract Purchaser”) to purchase the Offered Quotas (the “Purchase Contract”), which Purchase Contract shall, in all events, be expressly conditioned upon the rights of the other Members set forth in this Section 11.3. In such event, the Selling Member shall:

(i) make an offer in writing (the “Offer”) to the other Members to sell the Offered Quotas to them on the terms set forth in the Purchase Contract, in respect of which the provisions of paragraphs (b) to (e) of this Section 11.3 shall apply; and

(ii) if none of the Members accepts the Offer in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section 11.3, then the provisions of paragraphs (f) to (h) of this Section 11.3 shall apply.

(b) Every Offer shall constitute the Society as the Selling Member’s agent for the sale of the Offered Quotas to the other Members free from all liens, charges and encumbrances at the price per quota stated in the Purchase Contract (the “Contract Price”). An Offer shall remain open for acceptance for the period (the “Offer Period”) expiring 14 days after the date of service of the Offer.

(c) If within the Offer Period any one or more of the other Members (collectively, the “Offeree”) gives written notice (an “acceptance notice”) that the Offeree is willing to purchase all but not some of the Offered Quotas, the Selling Member shall be bound, upon payment of the Contract Price, to transfer to the Offeree (and if more than one, pro rata according to their respective Equity Interests) the Offered Quotas. The sale and purchase shall, unless otherwise agreed between the Selling Member and the Offeree, be completed at the price and on the other terms as set forth in the Purchase Contract.

Apes Hill Dev SRL/Members Agreement

(d) If the Selling Member fails to transfer any Offered Quotas which it has become bound to transfer, the Managing Member may authorize some person to execute on its behalf a transfer of the Offered Quotas to the Offeree and may receive the purchase money and shall thereupon register the Offeree as the holder of the Offered Quotas and issue to it a certificate(s) for the same, whereupon the Offeree shall become indefeasibly entitled thereto. The Selling Member shall be bound to deliver to the Society the certificate(s) for the Quotas and the Society shall, on delivery of the certificate, pay to the Selling Member the purchase money, without interest.

(e) If the Offeree does not give an acceptance notice during the Offer Period, the Selling Member may (subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 11.3) transfer the Offered Quotas to the Contract Purchaser in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Purchase Contract. In the event the sale and purchase contemplated by the Purchase Contract does not close in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, then the Selling Member shall not thereafter sell all or any portion of its Member Interest without first complying with the terms of this Section 11.3.

(f) If the Offeree does not give an acceptance notice during the Offer Period, with respect to any proposed transfer by the Selling Member of all or any part of its Member Interest (which for purposes of this paragraph includes one or more elements of the Member Interest, or any portion thereof) to any Person (the “Tag Transferee”) other than a Member or a transferee referred to in Section 11.2 (such a transfer being referred to as a “Tag Transaction”), every non-transferring Member (the “Tag Member”) shall, in addition to the Offer rights set forth above in this Section 11.3, have the right (the “Tag-Along Right”) to participate in the Tag Transaction, and in connection therewith to require the Selling Member to comply with the following terms and conditions:

(i) the Selling Member shall notify the Society and each Tag Member, in writing, of each such proposed transfer upon the expiration of the Offer Period, but in no event less than 30 days prior to the date that such proposed transfer is scheduled to close (the “Selling Member Tag-Along Notice”). The Selling Member Tag-Along Notice shall: (A) set forth the name and address of the Selling Member desiring to transfer such Quotas; (B) state the number of Quotas being sold (being all or part of the Offered Quotas); (C) set forth the proposed amount and form of consideration and terms and conditions of payment offered by the Tag Transferee (the “Tag Terms”); and (D) include a copy of the Purchase Contract between the Tag Transferee and the Selling Member;

(ii) The Tag-Along Right provided for in this Section 11.3 may be exercised by the Tag Member by delivery of a written notice to the Society and the Selling Member (the “Tag-Along Notice”) within 20 Business Days following delivery of the Selling Member Tag-Along Notice (the “Tag-Along Period”);

(iii) the Selling Member shall immediately upon receipt of a Tag-Along Notice cause the Tag Transferee to execute and deliver to every Tag Member a bona fide offer (a “Tag-Along Offer”) in writing to purchase from such Tag

Apes Hill Dev SRL/Members Agreement

Member a percentage (the “Tag Member Entitlement”) of the aggregate number of Quotas which the Tag Transferee proposed to purchase from the Selling Member (the “Target Quotas”) equal to the Equity Interest of such Tag Member, which if accepted shall constitute a binding and enforceable agreement as against the Tag Transferee and the Selling Member;

(iv) the terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Offer shall be identical to the terms and conditions of the Tag Transaction to the extent they are commercially reasonable and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the consideration being offered to the Selling Member (being a price equal to the Contract Price) for the Target Quotas shall be identical to the consideration offered to the Tag Member;

(v) in the event the Tag Member owns fewer Quotas than the Tag Member Entitlement, then the Tag-Along Right shall apply to all of the Tag Member’s Quotas; and

(vi) the Selling Member shall not be entitled to sell to the Tag Transferee a greater number of Quotas than the result obtained when there is subtracted from the Target Quotas the number of quotas comprised in the Tag Member Entitlement, and as between the Selling Member and the Tag Transferee the Tag Terms shall be deemed to be amended accordingly. The Tag Transferee shall not be obliged to purchase in the aggregate a greater number of Quotas than the Target Quotas.

(g) Effect of Exercise of Tag-Along Right. Upon delivery of the Tag-Along Notice by the Tag Member, the Tag Member shall be obligated to sell to the Tag Transferee and the Tag Transferee shall be obligated to purchase from the Tag Member on the terms of the Tag-Along Offer. If the Tag Transferee does not purchase the Quotas from the Tag Member as required pursuant to this paragraph, then any transfer by any Selling Member to such Tag Transferee shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

(h) Right to Transfer to Third Party. After expiration of the Tag-Along Period, if no Tag-Along Notice has been given, the Selling Member shall have the right to transfer its Quotas to the Tag Transferee on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Selling Member Tag-Along Notice.

11.4 Prohibited Transfers. Any transfer or purported transfer, whether by operation of law or otherwise, of a Member Interest shall be null and void and of no legal effect unless it is permitted by this Article XI or by other provisions of this Agreement.

11.5 Rights of Assignee.

(b) Any transfer of Member Interests must be in writing, may not contravene any of the provisions of this Agreement the Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Society or applicable law, and must be executed by the transferor and delivered to the Society and recorded on the books of the Society.

Any election by Respondent(s) to purchase from Movant all of the Member Interests of Movant shall be made only if one or more Members comprising the Respondent(s) (a “Respondent Member”) have agreed to purchase all of the Member Interests of Movant, and any such election shall be made by those Members comprising Respondent(s) which have agreed to purchase all of the Member Interests of Movant. If more than one Respondent Member desires to purchase the Member Interests of Movant, such Respondent Members shall purchase such Member Interests in proportion to their Equity Interests (or in any other proportion as agreed to by them). In order for an election by Respondent to purchase all of the Member Interests of Movant to be effective, it must set forth the portion of Movant’s Member Interests which will be purchased by each Respondent Member and must be signed by each Respondent Member electing to purchase a portion of Movant’s Member Interests (it being understood that such election will be effective only if the sum of the portions purchased total the entire Member Interests of Movant). After such election is made, the Respondent(s) and Movant shall take such action as may be necessary to close the sale and purchase of the Member Interests in accordance with the results of such election.

(d) (i) If the Respondent(s) elects to sell to the Movant all of Respondent’s Member Interest pursuant to Section 11.7(b) (or does not respond in compliance with this Section 11.7), then Respondent(s) must sell to the Movant, and the Movant must buy from the Respondent(s), all of the Respondent’s Member Interests for the purchase price determined pursuant to Section 11.7(b) above.

(ii) The selling Members shall assign all of their Member Interests to the purchasing Members by written transfer with special warranty of title in a form reasonably acceptable to the purchasing Members. Except as otherwise provided herein, said transfer shall be prepared in a form mutually acceptable to the parties. The selling Members shall convey their entire interest in the Society, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances and the selling Members shall execute and deliver to the purchasing Members all documents which may be required to give effect to the sale and purchase of such Member Interest.

(iii) The documents and instruments of transfer shall also include the indemnification of each selling Member by each purchasing Member from and against any and all liabilities relating to the Member Interest of each selling Member accruing prior to and/or after the Buy/Sell Closing Date (including contingent liabilities that the purchasing Members had knowledge of and/or that the purchasing Members could have had knowledge of after reasonable inquiry

Apes Hill Dev SRL/Members Agreement

and/or contingent liabilities that the selling Members had disclosed to the purchasing Members prior to the Offer ), but excluding liabilities that could not properly be taken into account under this Section 11.7 because of a Member’s failure to provide information required to be provided by such Member under this Agreement or because of a breach of a Member’s duty under this Agreement).

(iv) The purchase price to be paid to the selling Members shall be payable entirely in cash at closing.

(e) The actual transfer shall take place on the date (the “Buy/Sell Closing Date”) that is the earliest of the following dates: (I) the date that is 180 days after delivery to the Movant of the response from the Respondent; or (II) the date that is 180 days after expiration of the prescribed 45-day response period.

(f) From and after the date on which an Offer has been delivered until the Buy/Sell Closing Date, the Managing Member shall not enter into any binding agreement, make any new finance commitments on behalf of the Society, or take any other action that could materially affect the interests of the Society or its Members, unless the Society is legally obligated to take such action (for example, by contract). The Managing Member, however, may continue to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Society in a careful and prudent manner so long as the Managing Member provides weekly updates to each of the other Members of the status of Society affairs, including the amount of any Society liabilities and any changes in such liabilities, the existence of any new contingent liabilities, the status of Society obligations, the status of Project Pro Forma variances, the purchase of any new assets, and similar items.

DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

13.1 Dissolution.

(a) Except as set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, to resign or withdraw from the Society, or to dissolve the Society by its express will or by withdrawal or resignation without, in each case, the consent of the other Member(s).

(b) The Members shall, for all the purposes of section 30(b) of the SRL Act, be deemed to have passed a unanimous resolution that the Society be liquidated and dissolved upon the first to occur of any of the following events (each such event is referred to as a “Dissolution Event”):

(i) the expiration of its term as provided in Section 1.4;

(ii) a Member suffers an Event of Bankruptcy resulting in its liquidation or dissolution or is otherwise liquidated and dissolved, and the remaining Member(s) elect to dissolve the Society;

(iii) the dissolution of the Society under applicable law; or

(iv) a resolution to voluntarily liquidate and dissolve the Society is unanimously approved in writing by the Members.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under applicable law, a Member shall not cease to be a Member of the Society if such Member suffers an Event of Bankruptcy, unless the Society is liquidated and dissolved pursuant to Section 13.1(b)(ii) and Section 13.2.

13.2 Continuation of the Society. Upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 13.1(b)(ii), if there remains at least one Member, the business of the Society shall be carried on by such Member without dissolution if approved by such Member. In all other cases, upon the occurrence of an event described in Section 13.1(b), the Society shall be liquidated and dissolved in accordance with the SRL Act and (subject to the SRL Act) revived only if Members holding one-hundred percent (100%) of the Equity Interests elect to continue the Society within ninety (90) days of such event. If no election to continue the Society is made within ninety (90) days of such event, the Society shall conduct only those activities necessary to wind up its affairs.

13.3 Liquidation.

(a) Subject to the SRL Act or any other applicable law, upon a certificate of intent to dissolve being issued by the Registrar of Corporate Affairs and Intellectual

Apes Hill Dev SRL/Members Agreement

Property, unless an election to continue the Society is made pursuant to Section 13.2, the Managing Member shall serve as the liquidator (the “Liquidator”) of the Society.

(b) Upon dissolution, removal or resignation of the Liquidator, a successor and substitute Liquidator (who shall have and succeed to all rights, powers and duties of the original Liquidator) shall within thirty (30) days thereafter be approved by the Members Committee. The right to appoint a successor or substitute Liquidator in the manner provided herein shall be recurring and continuing for so long as the functions and services of the Liquidator are authorized to continue under the provisions hereof, and every reference herein to the Liquidator will be deemed to refer also to any such successor or substitute Liquidator appointed in the manner herein provided.

(c) Except as expressly provided in this Article XIII, the Liquidator appointed in the manner provided herein shall have and may exercise, without further authorization or consent of any of the parties hereto, all of the powers conferred upon the Managing Member under the terms of this Agreement (but subject to all of the applicable limitations, contractual and otherwise, upon the exercise of such powers, including the limitations set forth in Section 7.3 and in section 367(3) of the Companies Act or other applicable law) to the extent necessary or desirable in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to carry out the duties and functions of the Liquidator hereunder for and during such period of time as shall be reasonably required in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator to complete the winding up and liquidation of the Society as provided for herein. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Society receives two or more offers with respect to the purchase of any assets of the Society, the Liquidator shall accept the most financially beneficial offer to the Society to the extent the Society accepts any such offer.

(d) The Liquidator shall liquidate the assets of the Society, and shall apply and distribute the net proceeds of such liquidation in the following order of priority:

(i) to the creditors of the Society, including Members, in the order of priority provided by the Companies Act or other applicable law; and

(ii) to the Members in the same manner and order of priority as provided for distributions under Section 6.1 hereof; provided, however, that the Liquidator may place in escrow a reserve of cash or other assets of the Society for contingent liabilities in an amount determined by the Liquidator to be appropriate for such purposes.

13.4 Reserves. After all of the assets of the Society have been distributed, the Society shall terminate and be dissolved. If at any time thereafter any funds in any cash reserve fund referred to in Section 13.3(d) are released because the need for such cash reserve fund has ended, such funds shall be distributed to the Members in the same manner as if such distribution had been made pursuant to Section 13.3(d).

Apes Hill Dev SRL/Members Agreement

13.5 Distribution in Kind. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.3 which require the liquidation of the assets of the Society, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon the dissolution of the Society, the Members Committee determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Society’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may, in good faith, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Society (other than those to Members). The Liquidator may, after discharging the Society’s obligations to creditors, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, such Society assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any distributions in kind shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management thereof as the Liquidator and the Members Committee deem reasonable and equitable. The Liquidator shall value any property distributed in kind based upon such property’s fair market value as determined using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

13.6 Work in Progress. If the Society is dissolved for any reason while there is work in progress in connection with the implementation of the Project Business Plan, winding up of the affairs and termination of the business of the Society may include completion of such work in progress as the Liquidator may determine to be necessary to bring such matters to a state of completion convenient to permit a sale of the Society’s interest in such work, giving due regard to the interests of the Members.

13.7 Disposition of Documents and Records. All documents and records of the Society, including, without limitation, all financial records, vouchers, canceled checks and bank statements, shall be delivered to the Managing Member upon termination of the Society. The other Members, at their own expense, may exercise their rights, during normal business hours and after prior written notice, to audit the Society’s books and records after the liquidation and dissolution of the Society. Any such audit shall commence immediately after such notice is delivered to the Managing Member. Unless otherwise approved by the other Member, the Managing Member shall retain such documents and records for a period of not less than five (5) years and shall make such documents and records available during normal business hours to any other Member for inspection and copying at the other Member’s cost and expense.

13.8 Cancellation of Certificate of a company limited by liability. Upon the completion of the distribution of Society property as provided in Sections 13.3, 13.4, and 13.5, the Society shall be terminated and dissolved, and the Liquidator (or the Members if necessary), shall take such other actions as may be necessary to dissolve the Society.

13.9 Return of Capital. No Member shall be personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of any other Member or any portion thereof, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from Society assets.

13.10 Waiver of Partition. Each Member hereby waives any rights to partition of the Society property.
