Subject to Section 7.2, Net Loss for any fiscal year shall be allocated in the following order and priority: 7.1.1.1 Except as provided in Sections 7.1.1.2 and 7.1.1.3 below, Net Losses shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interest. 7.1.1.2 Except as provided in Section 7.1.1.3 below, to the extent Net Income has been allocated pursuant to Sections 7.1.2.2 or 7.1.2.3 below, Net Losses shall be allocated (a) first to offset any Net Income allocated pursuant to Section 7.1.2.3 below, and (b) next to offset any Net Income allocated pursuant to Section 7.1.2.2 below (in each case in proportion to the Member’s respective share of the Net Income so allocated). To the extent any allocations of Net Income are offset pursuant to this Section 7.1.1.2, such allocations shall be disregarded for purposes of computing subsequent allocations pursuant to this Section 7. 7.1.1.3 The Losses allocated pursuant to Sections 7.1.1.1 and 7.1.1.2 above shall be made only to the extent that such loss allocations will not create an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for that Member in excess of an amount, if any, equal to such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain that would be realized on a foreclosure of the Company’s property. Any loss not allocated to a Member because of the foregoing provision shall be allocated to the other Members (to the extent the other Members are not limited in Operating Agreement for Xxxxxx Quality, LLC Page 19

respect of the allocation of losses under this Section 7.1.1.3). Any loss reallocated under this Section 7.1.1.3 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of net income and losses pursuant to this Section 7, so that the net amount of any item so allocated and the income and losses allocated to which Member pursuant to this Section 7, to the extent possible, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to this Section 7 if no reallocation of losses had occurred under this Section 7.1.1.3. This provision, when used with the qualified income offset provisions in Section 7.2.5, is intended to (i) comply with the alternative test for economic effect set forth in Treasury Regulations § 1.704-1 (b)(2) and (ii) operate as a substitute for the deficit restoration requirement otherwise required in order for allocations to have substantial economic effect. 7.1.2 Net Income. Subject to Section 7.2, Net Income for any fiscal year shall be allocated in the following order and priority; 7.1.2.1 First, to the Members until the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Member under this Section 7.1.2.1 for all fiscal years of the Company equals the cumulative Net Losses allocated to such Members pursuant to Section 7.1.1 for all prior periods in proportion to the Member’s respective share of the Net Losses so allocated, and 7.1.2.2 Second, to Xxxxxx Quality and Xxxxxx Trust, proportionate to their respective Percentage Interests, until the cumulative amounts allocated to them pursuant to this Section 7.1.2.2 is equal to the cumulative Preferred Return calculated through the end of the most recent fiscal year; 7.1.2.3 the balance, if any, shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. 7.2 Special Allocations. 7.2.1 Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, in subsequent fiscal years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to a Nonrecourse Liability, which share of such net decrease shall be determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.2.1 shall be made in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to each Member under this Section 7.2.1. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(f). This Section 7.2.1 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement contained in Regulations § 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 7.2.2 Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. If, during any Fiscal Year, there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, each member who has a share of the Company Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt (which share shall be determined Operating Agreement for Xxxxxx Quality, LLC Page 20

in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5)) shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, in subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that portion of such Member Nonrecourse Debt (which share of such net decrease shall be determined in accordance with Regulations §1.704-2(i)(4)). This Section 7.2.2 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement contained in Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 7.2.3 Nonrecourse Deductions. Any nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(l)) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests. 7.2.4 Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Those items of Company loss, deduction, or Code § 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures which are attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such items are attributable in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i). 7.2.5 Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding Section 7.1, if a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations §§ 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), or any other event creates a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account in excess of such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such excess deficit balance as quickly as possible. Any special allocations of items of income and gain pursuant to this Section 7.2.5 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of income and gain pursuant to this Section 7 so that the net amount of any item so allocated and the income, gain, and losses allocated to each Member pursuant to this Section 7 to the extent possible, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7 if such unexpected adjustments, allocations, or distributions had not occurred. 7.2.6 Recapture. In the event that the Company has taxable income that is characterized as ordinary income under the recapture provisions of the Code, each Member’s distributive share of taxable gain or loss from the sale of Company assets (to the extent possible) shall include a proportionate share of this recapture income equal to that Member’s prior share of prior cumulative depreciation deductions with respect to the assets which gave rise to the recapture income. 7.2.7 Code Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)3(m)(2) or Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of his interest, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specifically allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests Operating Agreement for Xxxxxx Quality, LLC Page 21

in the Company in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 7.2.8 Tax Allocations. Except for the allocations contained in Section 7.3, all income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated for federal, state and local income tax purposes in accordance with the allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. 7.3 Code § 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 7, in accordance with Code § 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value on the date of contribution. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Subject to any contrary provisions elsewhere in this Agreement, any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Members in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement, with the Members vote on that determination being made as follow: (a) during the Interim Period, by consent of at least three-fourth (3/4) of the Percentage Interests of the Members; and (b) after the Interim Period, by consent of a Majority in Interest of the Members. Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes. As such, they shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing a Member’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, or other items of distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 7.4 Allocation of Net Incomes and Losses and Distributions in Respect of a Transferred Interest. If any Membership Interest is transferred, or is increased or decreased by reason of the admission of a new Member or otherwise, during any fiscal year of the Company, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Company for such fiscal year shall be assigned pro rata to each day in the particular period of such fiscal year to which such item is attributable (i.e., the day on or during which it is accrued or otherwise incurred) and the amount of each such item so assigned to any such day shall be allocated to the Member based upon its respective Interest at the close of such day. Operating Agreement for Xxxxxx Quality, LLC Page 22

Notwithstanding any provision above to the contrary, gain or loss of the Company realized in connection with a sale or other disposition of any of the assets of the Company shall be allocated solely to the parties owning Membership Interests as of the date such sale or other disposition occurs. 7.5 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 7.2.1, 7.2.2, 7.2.5, 7.2.4 and 7.2.7 hereof and the allocations of Nonrecourse Deductions in Sections 7.1.1 and 7.2.3 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the 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 7.5. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), there shall be made such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner a Majority in Interest of the Members determine 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 the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 7.1. In exercising their discretion under this Section 7.5, the Members shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 that, although not yet made, are likely to offset Regulatory Allocations made under Section 7.1 and Section 7.2.4. 7.6 Obligations of Members to Report Allocations. The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by Section 7 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of it in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes. 8. Distributions. 8.1 Minimum Distribution. 8.1.1 If the Company has allocated Net Income to any Member for a calendar year then, unless the Members unanimously agree otherwise, the Company shall, on or before April 15 of the next calendar year, make a cash distribution to such Member in an amount equal to: 8.1.1.1 One hundred percent (100%) of the Net Income for that calendar year allocated to the Member pursuant to Section 7.1.2.2; and 8.1.1.2 Forty-six percent (46%) of the balance of the Net Income allocated to such Member. 8.1.2 If FNIS is a Member of the Company and the Company does not have sufficient Distributable Cash to make the minimum distributions described in Section 8.1.1 above, then FNIS shall, pursuant to an Arms-Length Agreement, loan the Company funds sufficient to make the minimum distributions.

Subject to applicable law and any provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement (including Section 8.1 above or Section 13 below), Distributable Cash shall, unless the Members unanimously agree otherwise, be distributed in the following order and priority: 8.2.1 First, to Xxxxxx Quality and Xxxxxx Trust until the cumulative cash distributions made to such Members pursuant to Section 8.1.1.1 and this Section 8.2.1 for all fiscal years of the Company equals the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Members pursuant to Section 7.1.2.2 above (net of any Net Losses charged back against that income pursuant to Section 7.1.1.2 above) for all prior periods, in proportion to the Member’s respective share of the Net Income so allocated. 8.2.2 The balance to the Members in the amounts necessary such that, after considering the distributions pursuant to Section 8.1.1.2 above and this Section 8.2.2, the cumulative distributions made to the Members pursuant to Section 8.1.1.2 above and this Section 8.2.2 are in proportion to the Member’s respective Percentage Interests. 8.3 Form of Distribution. A Member, regardless of the nature of the Member’s Capital Contribution, has no right to demand and receive any distribution from the Company in any form other than money. 8.4 Other Distribution Limitations. 8.4.1 The Members intend to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the provisions of § 17254 of the Corporations Code. To the extent, and only to the extent, some or all of those provisions cannot be waived, then no distribution (whether it be of Distributable Cash or otherwise) shall be made to any Member unless it complies with such portion(s) of Corporations Code § 17254 as cannot be waived. 8.4.2 The Members desire to waive the provisions of § 17255 of the Corporations Code to the fullest extent allowed by law. To the extent, and only to the extent, such provisions cannot be waived, then a Member who votes for a distribution in violation of this Agreement or the Act is personally liable to the Company, for a period of four years following the distribution, for the amount of the distribution that exceeds what could have been distributed without violating this Agreement or the Act if it is established that the Member did not act in compliance with Section 8.4.1 or Section 13.5 of this Agreement. Any Member who is so liable shall be entitled to compel contribution from each other Member who also is so liable. 8.5 Return of Distributions. Except for distributions made in violation of the Act or this Agreement, no Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be obligated to return any distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company.

The purchase price for the Former Member’s Interest shall be the Capital Account balance of the Former Member as adjusted pursuant to Section 4.4 (i.e., after first booking to fair market value the Member’s share of the Company’s assets to determine the Net Income or Net Loss that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value, with such Net Income or Net Loss shall then be allocated pursuant to Section 7); provided, however, if the Dissolution Event results from a breach of this Agreement by the Former Member, the purchase price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the damages suffered by the Company or the Remaining Members as a result of such breach. 11.3 Notice of Intent to Purchase. Within thirty (30) days after the fair market value of the Former Member’s Interest has been determined in accordance with Section 1.1, each Remaining Member desiring to purchase a portion of the Former Member’s Interest shall notify the each other Member in writing of his or her interest. The failure of any Remaining Member to submit a notice within the applicable period shall constitute an election on the part of the Member not to purchase any of the Former Member’s Interest. Each Remaining Member so electing to purchase shall be entitled to purchase a portion of the Former Member’s Interest in the same proportion that the Percentage Interest of the Remaining Member bears to the aggregate of the Percentage Interests of all of the Remaining Members electing to purchase the Former Member’s Interest. 11.4 Election to Purchase Less Than All of the Former Member’s Interest.

The payment of a debt or liability, whether the whereabouts of the creditor is known or unknown, has been adequately provided for upon dissolution of the Company if the payment has been provided for by either of the following means: 13.6.1 Payment thereof has been assumed or guaranteed in good faith by one or more financially responsible persons or by the United States government or any agency thereof, and the provision, including the financial responsibility of the Person, was determined in good faith and with reasonable care by the Members to be adequate at the time of any distribution of the assets pursuant to this Section. 13.6.2 The amount of the debt or liability has been deposited as provided in § 2008 of the California Corporations Code.

Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, no Member shall take any voluntary action that directly causes the dissolution of the Company (whether the dissolution is under this Section 13 or otherwise). The Members acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Company if any Member should bring an action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is not required by Section 13.1. This Agreement has been drawn carefully to provide fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation. Accordingly, except where the Members have failed to liquidate the Company as required by this Section 13, each Member hereby waives and renounces his or her right to initiate legal action to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company or to seek a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company on the ground that (a) it is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business of the Company in conformity with the Act or this Agreement, or (b) dissolution is reasonably necessary for the protection of the rights or interests of the complaining Member. Damages for breach of this Section 13.10 shall be monetary damages only (and not specific performance), and the damages may be offset against distributions by the Company to which such Member would otherwise be entitled. 14.

The termination of any Proceeding, whether by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that a Member or officer of the Company did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that a Member or officer had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. 14.2.2.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent that a Member or officer of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding referred to in Section 14.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such manager or officer shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. 14.4 Determination of Conduct. Any indemnification under Section 14.2 (unless ordered by a court as referred to in such Section) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Member or officer of the Company is proper in the circumstances because such Member or officer has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 14.2. Such determination shall be made by the Members by a vote of a majority-in-interest of Members, whether or not constituting a quorum, who were not parties to such Proceeding. 14.5 Payment of Expenses in Advance.

The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the provisions of this Section 14, shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any Person seeking indemnification or advancement of Expenses may be entitled under any agreement, vote of Members, or otherwise, both as to action in such Person’s capacity as an agent of the Company and as to action in another capacity while serving as an agent. All rights to indemnification under this Section 14 shall be deemed to be provided by a contract between the Company and each Member and officer, if any, of the Company who serves in such capacity at any time while this Agreement and relevant provisions of the Act and other applicable law, if any are in effect. Any repeal or modification hereof or thereof shall not affect any such rights then existing. 14.8 Insurance. The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an agent of the Company against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as an agent, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section 14 or of Corporations Code § 17155. in the event a person shall receive payment from any insurance carrier or from the plaintiff in any action against such Person with respect to indemnified amounts after payment on account of all or part of such indemnified amounts having been made by the Company pursuant to this Section 14, such Person shall reimburse the Company for the amount, if any, by which the sum of such payment by such insurance carrier or such plaintiff and payments by the Company to such Person exceed such indemnified amounts; provided, however, that such portions, if any, of such insurance proceeds that are required to be reimbursed to the insurance carrier under the terms of its insurance policy shall not be deemed to be payments to such Person hereunder. In addition, upon payment of indemnified amounts under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to such Person’s rights against any insurance carrier with respect to such indemnified amounts (to the extent permitted under such insurance policies). Such right of subrogation shall be terminated upon receipt by the Company of the amount to be reimbursed by such Person pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 14.8.

The indemnification and advancement of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section 14 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a Person who has ceased to be an agent of the Company and shall inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, executors and administrators. 14.10 Right to Indemnification Upon Application. 14.10.1 Any indemnification or advance under Section 14.2 or Section 14.5 shall be made promptly, and in no event later than sixty (60) days, after the Company’s receipt of the written request of a Member or officer of the Company therefor, unless, in the case of an indemnification, a determination shall have been made as provided in Section 14.4 that such Member or officer has not met the relevant standard for indemnification set forth in Section 14.2. 14.10.2 The right of a Person to indemnification or an advance of Expenses as provided by this Section 14 shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. Neither the failure by the Members of the Company or its independent legal counsel to have made a determination that indemnification or an advance is proper in the circumstances, nor any actual determination by the Members of the Company or its independent legal counsel that indemnification or an advance is not proper, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the relevant standard of conduct has not been met. In any such action, the Person seeking indemnification or advancement of Expenses shall be entitled to recover from the Company any and all expenses of the types described in the definition of Expenses in Section 14.1.1 of this Agreement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in such action, but only if he or she prevails therein. 14.11 Limitations on Indemnification.

If a Person is entitled under any provision of this Section 14 to indemnification by the Company for a portion of Expenses, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, fines, penalties incurred by such Person in any Proceeding but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify such Person for the portion of such Expenses, amounts paid in settlement, judgments, fines, penalties or ERISA excise taxes to which such Person is entitled.

16.3 Direct Negotiations. The Authorized Individuals may investigate the Dispute as they deem appropriate. But they agree to promptly, and in no event later than 30 days from the date of the Initiating Member’s written notice, meet to discuss the Dispute’s resolution.

The Authorized Individuals will have five business days from the date they cease direct negotiations to submit to each other a written list of acceptable qualified attorney-mediators not affiliated with any Member. Within five days from the date the list is received, the Authorized Individuals will rank the mediators in numerical order of preference and exchange the rankings. If one or more names are on both lists, the highest-ranking person will be designated as the mediator. If no mediator has been selected under this procedure, the Disputing Members agree jointly to request a State or Federal District Judge of their choosing to supply within ten business days a list of potential qualified attorney-mediators.

Within five business days from the date the list is received, the Authorized Individuals will again rank the proposed mediators in numerical order of preference and will simultaneously exchange the list and will select as the mediator the individual receiving the highest combined ranking. If the mediator is not available to serve, they will proceed to contact the mediator who was next highest in ranking until they are able to select a mediator. 16.5 Mediation Time and Place. In consultation with the mediator selected, the Authorized Individuals will promptly designate a mutually convenient time and place for the mediation.

The mediator may also request that a confidential issue paper be submitted by each Disputing Member to him or her. 16.8 Parties to be Represented. In the mediation, each Disputing Member will be represented by an Authorized Individual and may be represented by counsel. In addition, each Disputing Member may, with the mediator’s permission, bring the additional Persons as needed to respond to questions, contribute information, and participate in the negotiations.

The Disputing Members commit to participate in the proceedings in good faith with the intention of resolving the Dispute if at all possible. 16.10 Termination of Procedure. 16.10.1 Procedure to Terminate Mediation. The Disputing Members agree to participate in the mediation procedure to its conclusion. The mediation will be terminated by: 16.10.1.1 executing a settlement agreement by the Disputing Members; 16.10.1.2 declaring to the mediator that the mediation is terminated; or 16.10.1.3 a Disputing Member declaring in writing that the mediation process is terminated when one half-day’s mediation session is concluded. 16.10.2 If Dispute Is Not Resolved. Even if the mediation is terminated without the Dispute’s resolution, the Disputing Members agree not to terminate negotiations and not to commence any Additional Proceedings before five days following the mediation expire. Any Disputing Member may, however, commence Additional Proceedings within the five-day period if the Dispute could be barred by any applicable statute of limitations. 16.11 Additional Proceedings. The parties agree to participate in good faith in the ADR to its conclusion. If the Disputing Members are not successful in resolving the dispute through the ADR, then the Disputing Members agree that the dispute will be settled as otherwise allowed by law (“Additional Proceedings”).
