4. Voting. The Members agree that as long as each hold at least 50% of
their respective membership interests as of the date of this Agreement, each
will have one vote regarding a mutual action plan, or any action plan that will
impact the value, cause a sale, or cause an acquisition of additional interests
in Laguna or in Laguna Apartments. The right to exercise the one vote each among
the Members is non-transferable except with the written approval of the other
Members.
5. Encumbrances or Transfers. The Members agree that none of the
Members will allow any portion of their membership interests, including any
membership interests acquired after the date of this Agreement, to be encumbered
or transferred, except with the written approval of the other Members. The
Members recognize the importance of this restriction for the mutual benefit of
all parties to this Agreement. The transfer of any of the membership interests
by any Member shall be null and void and the transferee shall have no right to
vote such membership interests or receive dividends or cash distributions on
such membership interests unless such transfer conforms with the terms of this
Agreement.
6. Right of First Refusal. Each Member shall have a right of first
refusal if any portion of the membership interest in Laguna is being offered for
sale by another Member. If a Member receives an offer to purchase any or all of
its interest, the other Members shall be notified within five business days of
the offer. The written notification shall contain the exact terms and conditions
of the offer. Each Member will then have 30 days to respond as to their desire
to purchase the membership interest. If over 100% of the offered membership
interest is subscribed, then the other members may purchase their pro-rata share
1

ownership to the outside buyer, and has no obligation to sell the subscribed
portion of his ownership to the other Member or Members.

the death of any Member, or upon written agreement from the other Members, the

corporate check or through mutually agreed-upon cancellation of debt.
