The Executive Committee shall also be responsible for establishing the policies and procedures to be followed by the Administrative Member.

54430-10898/2652216.4
Committee shall meet at least quarterly on a day designated by the Administrative Member. The Executive Committee shall hold such other regularly scheduled meetings as are determined by the Administrative Member. Meetings shall be held on a Business Day at the principal executive office of the Company during normal business hours, unless otherwise agreed to by the Executive Committee. Notice of any regularly scheduled meeting of the Executive Committee shall be given by the Administrative Member to all of the Representatives no fewer than ten (10) days and no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of any such meeting. Any Representative may participate telephonically in any regular meeting of the Executive Committee. The attendance of a Representative of the Executive Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Executive Committee (either in person or telephonically) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Representative of the Executive Committee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not properly called or convened. Minutes of the Executive Committee shall not be required to be prepared or maintained. Resolutions of the Executive Committee, when signed by a Quorum present at the applicable meeting, shall be binding and conclusive evidence of the decisions reflected therein and any authorization granted thereby.
(b) Decisions of the Executive Committee. Subject to Section 2.02(f), all decisions and actions of the Executive Committee shall require the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the Representatives present at such meeting, and (ii) at least one (1) Representative appointed by each Member at a meeting at which a Quorum is present.
(c) Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Executive Committee may be called by or at the request of any Representative and shall be held on a Business Day at the principal executive office of the Company. Notice of any such special meeting of the Executive Committee shall be given by the calling Representative specifying the time of the meeting to all of the other Representatives no fewer than two (2) Business Days and no more than ten (10) days prior to the date of such meeting. Any Representative may participate telephonically in any special meeting of the Executive Committee. The attendance of a Representative of the Executive Committee at a special meeting of the Executive Committee (either in person or telephonically) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Representative of the Executive Committee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not properly called or convened. The business to be transacted at, and the purpose of, any special meeting of the Executive Committee need not be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. Notice of any special meeting may be waived by each Representative of the Executive Committee.
(d) Telephonic Participation. Representatives of the Executive Committee may participate in any meetings of the Executive Committee telephonically or through other similar communications equipment provided that all of the Representatives participating in such meeting can hear each another. Participation in a meeting pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement.

54430-10898/2652216.4
(e) Transaction of Business. Provided that notice of a meeting has been given in the manner set forth herein, a Quorum shall be entitled to transact business at any meeting of the Executive Committee.
(f) Actions Without Meetings. Any decision or action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Executive Committee or any other decision or action that may be taken at a meeting of the Executive Committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by at least one (1) Representative of each Member, which shall have the same effect as an act taken at a properly called and constituted meeting with a Quorum of the Executive Committee at which all of the Representatives of the Executive Committee were present and voting.
(g) Proxies. Each Representative may authorize another person or persons to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after sixty (60) days from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A Representative may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Administrative Member.
(h) Limitations on Authority. None of the Members, Representatives or Officers, without the prior consent of the Executive Committee, may take any action on behalf of or in the name of the Company, or enter into any commitment or obligation binding upon the Company, except for (i) actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, and (ii) actions by any Member (or Representative or Officer) within the scope of such Member's (or Representative's or Officer's) authority granted under this Agreement.
(i) Compensation. Except as otherwise approved by the Executive Committee, no Representative shall be entitled to receive any salary, remuneration or reimbursement from the Company for his or her services as a Representative.
(j) Involvement of the Representatives. Each Member shall cause its Representatives to devote such time as is reasonably necessary to carry out its duties and obligations as a Representative of the Executive Committee.
(k) Resolving Deadlocks. If the Executive Committee is deadlocked on any Major Decision (as defined in Section 2.04), then the Representatives shall consult with one another in a good faith attempt to resolve such deadlock for a period of sixty (60) days (or such longer period as is unanimously agreed to by the Representatives). The failure of the Representatives to resolve any such impasse for any reason prior to the expiration of such sixty (60)-day period shall constitute an "Impasse Event" under this Agreement (so long as the deadlock that resulted in such impasse remains unresolved). Prior to the expiration of such sixty (60)-day period (or such longer period as is unanimously agreed to by the Representatives), neither Member may elect to commence the buy/sell procedure set forth in Article VIII as result of any deadlock on any Major Decision.

The Administrative Member shall serve as the Administrative Member, unless and until it resigns as provided in Section 2.11(b), is removed pursuant to Section 2.11(c) or ceases to be a member of the Company. The Administrative Member hereby agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to carry out the business and affairs of the Company and to devote such time to the Company as is necessary, in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Member, for the efficient operation of the business and affairs of the Company.

Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Member shall contribute, in cash, the amount set forth opposite such Member's name under the column entitled "Initial Cash Contribution" on Exhibit "A" attached hereto (the "Initial Contribution"), provided that Majestic shall be credited with amounts expended as third-party out-of-pocket pursuit costs for the Property upon the written approval of such costs by Tejon. Each Member's Capital Account shall be credited by the amount of such Member's Initial Contribution as and when such contribution is made.
3.02 Additional Capital Contributions
If the Company has insufficient funds to meet its current or projected financial requirements (a "Shortfall"), then the Administrative Member shall give written notice (the "Capital Call Notice") of such Shortfall to the other Member. 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 Flow and a contribution date ("Contribution Date") (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days following the effective date of such notice) upon which each Member shall be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, such Member's Percentage Interest of the funds necessary to satisfy such Shortfall. If the Company has a Shortfall and the Administrative Member fails to deliver a Capital Call Notice so that the Company may timely satisfy such Shortfall, then the other Member may deliver the Capital Call Notice pursuant to this Section 3.02. Any and all amounts contributed to the capital of the Company by any Member pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be credited to such Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account on the date any such contribution is made.
3.03 Remedy 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"), and provided that the other Member (the "Contributing Member") has timely contributed to the capital of the Company all of the additional capital (if any) required to be contributed by such Contributing Member pursuant to Section 3.02 (with respect to that particular notice and capital call), then such Contributing Member shall have the right, in lieu of any other right or remedy available at law, in equity or otherwise to the

54430-10898/2652216.4
Contributing Member and/or the Company (or any other party), to select one (1) or more of the following options in accordance with the terms set forth below in this Section 3.03:
(a) Loan Remedy. The Contributing Member may advance to the Company, in cash, within thirty (30) days following the Contribution Date, an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, and such advance shall be treated as a nonrecourse loan ("Default Loan") by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member, bearing interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the prevailing prime commercial lending rate of Xxxxx Fargo Bank plus five (5) percentage points, adjusted concurrently with any adjustments to such rate and compounded annually, or (ii) the maximum, nonusurious rate then permitted by law for such loans. Subject to Sections 7.09 and 8.08, each Default Loan shall be due and payable in full one hundred twenty (120) days from the date advanced (or, if earlier, upon the dissolution of the Company).
As of the effective date of the advance of any Default Loan, the Capital Account and the Unreturned Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member shall be credited with an amount equal to the original principal balance of the Default Loan made by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles V and XII, until any and all Default Loans made to the Non-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 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 Section 5.01 and applied by the Non-Contributing Member to repay such outstanding Default Loan(s).
To secure the repayment of any and all Default Loans made to the Non-Contributing Member, such Non-Contributing Member hereby grants a security interest in favor of the Contributing Member in and to the Non-Contributing Member's entire Interest in the Company, and hereby irrevocably appoints the Contributing Member, and each of the Contributing Member's representatives, agents, officers or employees, as the Non-Contributing Member's attorney(s)-in-fact, with full power to prepare, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, as applicable, all documents, instruments, and/or agreements memorializing and/or securing such Default Loan(s), including, without limitation, such Uniform Commercial Code financing and continuation statements, mortgages, pledge agreements and other security instruments as may be reasonably appropriate to perfect and continue the security interest in favor of such Contributing Member.
The Contributing Member is also authorized to cause the Company to issue certificates (collectively, the "Certificates") evidencing the Members' respective Interests in the Company (in such form as is determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Contributing Member) and is further authorized to take possession and control of any such Certificate of the Non-Contributing Member if it has made a Default Loan to the Contributing Member. Following the issuance of the Certificates, each

Interest in the Company shall constitute a "certificated security" within the meaning of, and be governed by, (i) Section 8-102(a)(15) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in the State of Delaware (6 Del C. § 8-101, et seq.), such provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code shall control.
If, upon the maturity of a Default Loan (taking into account any agreed upon extensions thereof), any principal thereof and/or accrued interest thereon remains outstanding, then the Contributing Member 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 such additional terms as is determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Contributing Member; (ii) to institute legal (or other) proceedings against the Non-Contributing Member to collect such loan which may include, without limitation, foreclosing against the security interest granted above; (iii) to contribute all or any portion of such outstanding principal of, and accrued interest on, such Default Loan (or portion thereof) to the capital of the Company and dilute the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03(b), or (iv) to implement the default provisions set forth in Article VII in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(c).
The Contributing Member may elect any of the options set forth in the immediately preceding sentence by giving written notice of such election to the Non-Contributing Member within thirty (30) days following such maturity date. Failure of the Contributing Member to timely give such written notice to the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to constitute an election to renew such Default Loan for an additional term of one hundred twenty (120) days on the terms set forth herein. If the Contributing Member elects to foreclose upon the security interest in the Non-Contributing Member's Interest in the Company granted above, then the Contributing Member is authorized to cancel the Certificate evidencing the Non-Contributing Member's Interest in the Company and issue a new Certificate to the Contributing Member that has foreclosed upon such Interest.
(b) Dilution Remedy. The Contributing Member may contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, within thirty (30) days following the Contribution Date an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, and such Contributing Member's respective Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall each be credited with the amount contributed by such Contributing Member. Further, upon the maturity of a Default Loan that is not fully repaid on or before the maturity date thereof, the Contributing Member may 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 (or portion thereof) previously advanced by such Contributing Member that is not repaid prior to the maturity date thereof, and (i) the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed shall be deemed repaid and satisfied; (ii) the Capital Account and the Unreturned Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member shall be decreased, but not below
1116763.08/OC 373745-00002/0-0-00/pdo/agt | 17 |
54430-10898/2652216.4
zero (0), by the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed; and (iii) the Capital Account and the Unreturned Contribution Account of the Contributing Member shall be increased by the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed.
Upon the contribution of the Delinquent Contribution and/or the outstanding balance of a Default Loan by the Contributing Member pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(b), (i) the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member shall be decreased by the Dilution Percentage, and (ii) the Percentage Interest of the Contributing Member shall be increased by a like amount of percentage points. The "Dilution Percentage" shall equal the amount expressed in percentage points 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 amount of the prior capital contributions made by the Non-Contributing Member is Two Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,300,000), (ii) a contribution of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) is required to be contributed by the Members to the capital of the Company pursuant to Section 3.02, (iii) the Non-Contributing Member has a Percentage Interest of fifty percent (50%) and fails to contribute its share of such contribution equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (i.e., 50% × $400,000), and (iv) the Contributing Member has a Percentage Interest of fifty percent (50%) and contributes its entire share of such contribution equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (i.e., 50% x $400,000) and the Delinquent Contribution of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to the capital of the Company on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to this Section 3.03(b). By operation of this Section 3.03(b), the Dilution Percentage would be equal to twelve (12) percentage points as calculated in accordance with the following formula:
1116763.08/OC 373745-00002/0-0-00/pdo/agt | 18 |
54430-10898/2652216.4
Accordingly, the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member would be reduced by twelve (12) percentage points from fifty percent (50%) to thirty-eight percent (38%) and the Percentage Interest of the Contributing Member would be increased by a like amount of percentage points from fifty percent (50%) to sixty-two percent (62%).
(c) Implementation of Default Provisions. The Contributing Member may elect to implement the default provisions contained in Article VII by delivery of written notice of such election to the Non-Contributing Member within ninety (90) days following the Contribution Date or the maturity date for any Default Loan that is not repaid prior to the maturity thereof.
(d) Election of Remedy. The Contributing Member shall determine which of the options set forth in Sections 3.03(a), 3.03(b) and/or 3.03(c) are to be exercised by the Contributing Member with respect to each Delinquent Contribution. If the Contributing Member advances any amount to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.03 but fails to specify which of the foregoing options the Contributing Member has elected within thirty (30) days after the effective date that the Contributing Member makes such advance, then such Contributing Member shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in Section 3.03(a) above with respect to such advance.
(e) 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 1/100th of one percentage point (0.01%) and the Contributing Member 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 1/100th of one percent (0.01%) by operation of Section 3.03(b).
3.04 Financing
The Administrative Member shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to obtain an acquisition loan (the "Acquisition Loan") to finance the acquisition of the Property from one (1) or more independent third-party institutional lenders selected by the Administrative Member (individually, the "Lender" and collectively, the "Lenders") upon prevailing market terms and conditions. Upon the request of the Executive Committee, the Administrative Member shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a permanent loan (the "Permanent Loan") from one (1) or more Lenders to refinance the Acquisition Loan upon prevailing market terms and conditions (and any other financing thereafter required to refinance the Permanent Loan). It is anticipated that the Members shall be required to guarantee, on a joint and several basis, fifty percent (50%) of the Acquisition Loan. It is further anticipated that the Permanent Loan shall be nonrecourse to the Members (subject to any Loan Documents described in Section 3.05 required to be provided to the Lender providing any such Permanent Loan). The Acquisition Loan and the Permanent Loan shall be secured by a deed of trust encumbering the Project. Any such financing and/or refinancing obtained by the
1116763.08/OC 373745-00002/0-0-00/pdo/agt | 19 |
54430-10898/2652216.4
Administrative Member on behalf of the Company (collectively, the "Loans") shall require the consent of the Executive Committee pursuant to Section 2.04(e).
3.05 Agreement to Provide Guarantees and Indemnification
Each Member and/or one (1) or more of their respective Affiliates or representatives, including, without limitation, the ultimate parent of each Member if required by the applicable Lender (collectively, the "Guarantors" and individually, a "Guarantor") shall execute and deliver to any Lender providing the Acquisition Loan or any Permanent Loan any and all guaranties, environmental indemnities and "bad-boy" carve-out guaranties required by such Lender (collectively, the "Loan Documents") provided such Loan Documents are approved by the Executive Committee in its reasonable discretion.
Except with respect to the Acquisition Loan, the Administrative Member shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Lender's agreement that the obligation of each Guarantor under each Loan Document shall be several (i.e., not joint and several) as between the Members (and their respective Affiliates) and proportionate to the Percentage Interest of each Member that is an Affiliate of such Guarantor. The Members acknowledge and agree that each Loan Document executed by any Guarantor shall be executed only as an accommodation to the Company and/or the Members. The Company shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold each such Guarantor wholly harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, damages and/or expenses including, without limitation, any attorneys' and expert witness fees and costs (collectively, "Losses") incurred by any such Guarantor as a result of such Loan Document (or as a result of the rights of contribution described below) in accordance with the terms of Section 10.02(b). Either Member may deliver a Capital Call Notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 to require the Members to make additional contributions to the capital of the Company to enable the Company to satisfy the indemnity for any Losses described in this Section 3.05.
If the Company fails to fully satisfy any indemnification and/or defense obligation owing to any Member or any Guarantor affiliated with such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05, then such Guarantor ("Contributing Party") shall have a right of contribution against the other Member (the "Non-Contributing Party") to the extent the liability incurred by the Contributing Party under any Loan Document (for which it is entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant Section 10.02(b)) exceeds such Contributing Party's Pro Rata Share of the total liability incurred by all of the Guarantors under all of the Loan Documents (for which the Guarantors are entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(b)). The term "Pro Rata Share" means (i) with respect to Tejon and its Guarantors, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total liability incurred by all of the Guarantors under all of the Loan Documents (for which the Guarantors are entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(b) below), and (ii) with respect to Majestic and its Guarantors, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the total liability incurred by all of the Guarantors under all of the Loan Documents (for which the Guarantors are entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(b) below).
At any time that any Contributing Party has a right of contribution against the Non-Contributing Party under this Section 3.05, the Non‑Contributing Party shall be obligated to satisfy such contribution obligation by paying the required amount, in cash, within ten (10) days following written notice thereof from the
1116763.08/OC 373745-00002/0-0-00/pdo/agt | 20 |
54430-10898/2652216.4
Contributing Party. If any such payment is not timely and validly made within such ten (10)-day period, then from and after the date such amount was required to be paid, such amount shall bear interest at the lesser of (A) the prevailing prime commercial lending rate of Xxxxx Fargo Bank plus five (5) percentage points, adjusted concurrently with any adjustments to such rate and compounded annually, or (B) the maximum non-usurious rate allowed by law. The Contributing Party shall also be entitled to collect from the Non‑Contributing Party any and all costs and expenses of enforcing such contribution obligation including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and expert witness fees and costs.
The Members acknowledge and agree that each of the Guarantors (that are not Members) are express third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05, and, as such, all of the Guarantors have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this Section 3.05.
3.06 Capital Contributions in General
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to in writing by all of the Members (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 contribution to the Company, and (iv) no Member shall be required or be entitled to contribute additional capital to the Company other than as permitted or required by this Article III.

No portion of the Net Losses for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is less than or equal to such Member's Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year.
4.02 Net Profits
After giving effect to the special allocations in Sections 4.03 and 4.04, Net Profits for any Fiscal 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 Fiscal Year.

4.03 Special Allocations
Notwithstanding any other provisions 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 balance 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). 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 Percentage Interests; (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 "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(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 Percentage Interests.
4.04 Curative Allocations
The allocations set forth in Section 4.03 (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 4.04. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Administrative Member is hereby authorized to 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 4.04, the Administrative Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 4.03, that are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under the provisions of this Section 4.04.

54430-10898/2652216.4
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer described in Section 6.02 shall be permitted if the consummation of such transfer would result in (i) a technical termination of the Company under Section 708 of the Code, unless the transferring Member agrees to pay any and all Losses incurred by the Company as a result of any such termination, (ii) a change of ownership causing reassessment of all or any portion of the Project for property tax purposes under Section 60, et seq., of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, unless the transferring Member agrees to pay any and all Losses incurred by the Company as a result of any such reassessment, or (iii) a breach or violation of any transfer restrictions contained in the loan documentation (and/or guaranty) relative to any indebtedness encumbering all or any portion of the Project and/or any other agreement governing the Company, unless such transfer restrictions are waived by the non-transferring Member, the applicable lender and/or the parties to such agreement, as the case may be.

An assignee shall only be entitled to share in such Net Profits and Net Losses, to receive such distributions, and to receive such allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar items to which the assignor was entitled, to the extent assigned. A Member that transfers such Member's Interest shall not cease to be a member of the Company until the admission of the assignee as a substituted member.

Notwithstanding any other terms of this Agreement, upon a foreclosure, sale or other transfer of any Interest in the Company pursuant to any security interest granted pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the holder of such Interest shall, upon the execution of a counterpart to Agreement (or an amendment thereto), automatically be admitted as a substituted member of the Company upon such foreclosure, sale or other transfer, with all of the rights and obligations thereof permitted hereunder. The Company acknowledges that the pledge of any Interest in the Company pursuant to Section 3.03(a) shall be a pledge not only of Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company, but also a pledge of all rights and obligations of the pledgor thereunder. Upon a foreclosure, sale or other transfer of any Interest in the Company pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the successor member may transfer its Interest in the Company in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in the Delaware Act or any other provision contained herein to the contrary, the pledgor under Section 3.03(a) shall be permitted to pledge and, upon any foreclosure of such pledge in connection with the admission of the secured party or other holder as a substituted member, to transfer to the secured party or other holder its rights and obligations to the Company pursuant to the terms of such pledge agreement.

For purposes of this Article VII, the following shall constitute "Default Events":
(a) Breach of Agreement. The breach of any material covenant, duty or obligation under this Agreement by any Member (other than a breach described in Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) for which there shall be no cure period) if (i) the breaching Member has received written notice from the other Member of the breach, and (ii) (A) the breach is not reasonably susceptible of being cured, or (B) if the breach is reasonably susceptible of being cured, the breaching Member has failed to commence the cure or remedy of the breach within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of the notice and failed to complete the cure or remedy within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 60 days), unless the cure or remedy cannot be reasonably completed within such sixty (60)-day period and the breaching Member fails to diligently proceed with the cure or remedy to completion within an additional forty-five (45) days following the expiration of such initial sixty (60)-day period;
(b) Capital Default. The failure of a Member to make timely a contribution required to be made pursuant to Section 3.02, or to timely repay any Default Loan in accordance with Section 3.03(a), followed by the election of the Contributing Member to treat such failure as a Default Event pursuant to Section 3.03(c);
(c) Prohibited Transfer, Encumbrance or Withdrawal. A Transfer or attempted Transfer by a Member of such Member's Interest in the Company (or portion thereof) or withdrawal or attempted withdrawal by a Member contrary to the provisions of Article VI;
(d) Bankruptcy or Insolvency. The rendering, by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, of a decree or order (i) adjudging a Member bankrupt or insolvent, or (ii) approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition, or similar relief for a Member under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other similar applicable law or practice, provided that such decree or order shall remain in force, undischarged and unstayed, for a period of ninety (90) days;
(e) Appointment of Receiver. The rendering, by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, of a decree or order (i) for the appointment of a receiver, a liquidator, or a trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of a Member, or for the winding up and liquidation of such Member's affairs, provided that such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of sixty (60) days, or (ii) for the sequestration or attachment of any property of a Member without its return to the possession of such Member or its release from such sequestration or attachment within sixty (60) days thereafter; or
(f) Bankruptcy Proceedings. A Member (i) institutes proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt or an insolvent, (ii) consents to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against such
1116763.08/OC 373745-00002/0-0-00/pdo/agt | 28 |
54430-10898/2652216.4
Member, (iii) files a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition, or similar relief for such Member under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other similar applicable law or practice, (iv) consents to the filing of any such petition, or to the appointment of a receiver, a liquidator, or a trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency for such Member or a substantial part of such Member's property, (v) makes an assignment for the benefit of such Member's creditors, (vi) is unable to or admits in writing such Member's inability to pay such Member's debts generally as they become due, or (vii) takes any action in furtherance of any of the aforesaid purposes.
For the purposes of implementing the provisions contained in this Article VII, the "Defaulting Member" shall be: (i) in the case of the event referenced in Section 7.01(a), the Member that has breached any material covenant, duty or obligation under this Agreement; (ii) in the case of the event referenced in Section 7.01(b), the Non-Contributing Member; (iii) in the case of the occurrence of the event referenced in Section 7.01(c), the Member that has transferred such Member's rights or interests or withdrawn from the Company contrary to the provisions of Article VI; and (iv) in the case of the occurrence of any of the events referenced in Sections 7.01(d), (e) and/or (f), the Member that is the subject of such court decree or order or has instituted such proceedings or filed such petitions or who is insolvent, etc. The term "Non-Defaulting Member" shall mean the Member that is not the Defaulting Member. For the avoidance of doubt, any Default by an Affiliate of a Member under any agreement between such Affiliate and the Company shall not constitute a Default Event by the Member under this Agreement. A Member shall cease to be a Defaulting Member solely for purposes of this Article VII following the occurrence of a Default Event with respect to such Member if the Non-Defaulting Member fails to deliver a Default Notice within the sixty (60)-day or ninety (90)-day periods, as the case may be, set forth in Section 7.02, following the occurrence of such Default Event.
7.02 Rights Arising From a Default Event
Within sixty (60) days after the date that the Non-Defaulting Member is aware of the occurrence of an uncured Default Event (or ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default described in Section 7.01(b)) the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to implement the default procedures set forth in this Article VII by delivering written notice ("Default Notice") thereof to the Defaulting Member. Failure of a Non-Defaulting Member to deliver a Default Notice within such sixty (60)-day or ninety (90)-day period shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to deliver a Default Notice upon the occurrence of any subsequent Default Event.
7.03 Determination of Defaulting Member's Purchase Price
Within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member if (i) the assets of the Company were sold for the Appraised Value thereof as of the effective date of the Default Notice; (ii) the liabilities of the Company were liquidated pursuant to Section 12.02(a); (iii) a reasonable reserve for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company was established by the Non-Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 12.02(b); and (iv) any remaining amounts were distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02(c). Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each Member written notice ("Accountant's Notice") thereof. The determination by the
1116763.08/OC 373745-00002/0-0-00/pdo/agt | 29 |
54430-10898/0000000.4
Accounting Firm of such amounts, including all components thereof, shall be deemed conclusive absent any material computational error. In the case of a Default Event described in Section 7.01(a), (b) or (c), ninety percent (90%), and in all other cases, one hundred percent (100%), of the amount which would be distributed to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 5.01 shall be deemed the purchase price for the Defaulting Member's Interest (the "Defaulting Member's Purchase Price") for purposes of this Article VII; subject, however, to adjustment for any Default Loans as provided in Section 7.09.
(a) Determination of Appraised Value. For purposes of this Article VII, the appraised value ("Appraised Value") of the assets of the Company shall be determined as follows: The Appraised Value shall be determined by one (1) or more independent qualified M.A.I. appraisers with at least five (5) years' experience appraising industrial real estate projects. The Non-Defaulting Member shall select one (1) appraiser and shall include such selection in the Default Notice. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the effective date of the Default Notice, the Defaulting Member shall either agree to the appraiser selected by the Non-Defaulting Member or select a second (2nd) appraiser and give written notice to the Non-Defaulting Member of the person so selected. If either the Non-Defaulting Member or the Defaulting Member fails to appoint such an appraiser within the time period specified and after the expiration of five (5) Business Days following the effective date of written demand that an appraiser be appointed, then the appraiser duly appointed by the Member making such demand to appoint such appraiser shall proceed to make the appraisal as herein set forth, and the determination thereof shall be conclusive on both of the Members. If two (2) appraisers are selected, then such selected appraisers shall thereafter appoint a third (3rd) appraiser. If the two (2) selected appraisers fail to appoint a third (3rd) appraiser within ten (10) Business Days following the effective date of written notice from the Defaulting Member notifying the Non-Defaulting Member of the selection of the second (2nd) appraiser, then any Member may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a third (3rd) appraiser, in the same manner as provided for the appointment of an arbitrator pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.6.
The appraiser or three (3) appraisers, as the case may be, shall promptly determine a date for the completion of the appraisal, which shall not be later than sixty (60) days from the effective date of appointment of the last appraiser.
The appraiser(s) shall determine the Appraised Value by determining the fair market value of the assets of the Company, such fair market value being the fairest price estimated in the terms of money which the Company could obtain if such assets were sold in the open market allowing a reasonable time to find a purchaser who purchases with knowledge of the business of the Company at the time of the occurrence of the Default Event.
Upon submission of the appraisals setting forth the opinions as to the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company, the two (2) such appraisals which are nearest in amount shall be retained, and the third (3rd) appraisal shall be discarded. The average of the two (2) retained appraisals shall constitute the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company for purposes of this Article VII; unless one (1) appraisal is the mean of the other two (2) appraisals, in which case such appraisal shall constitute the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company for purposes of this Article VII.

54430-10898/2652216.4
(b) Payment of Costs. Except as provided below, the Non-Defaulting Member shall pay for the services of the appraiser appointed by such Member, and the Defaulting Member shall pay for the services of the appraiser appointed by such Member. The cost of the services of the third (3rd) appraiser, if any, shall be paid one-half (½) by the Non-Defaulting Member, on the one hand, and one-half (½) by the Defaulting Member, on the other hand. The costs of the services of the Accounting Firm and, in the event only one (1) appraiser is required, the cost of the services of such appraiser, shall be paid one-half (½) by the Non-Defaulting Member, on the one hand, and one-half (½) by the Defaulting Member, on the other hand.
7.04 Non-Defaulting Members' Option
For a period of thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Accountant's Notice, the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase the entire Interest of the Defaulting Member for the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII by giving written notice of such election to the Defaulting Member within such thirty (30)-day period. Failure by the Non-Defaulting Member to timely give written notice exercising such Member's right to elect to purchase set forth in this Section 7.04 shall be deemed an election by such Member to waive such right to purchase with respect to the particular Default Event that triggered the application of the provisions of this Article VII.
7.05 Closing Adjustments
Within five (5) days before the actual date of the closing pursuant to Section 7.06 below, the Accounting Firm shall recalculate the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member pursuant to Section 5.01, if such amount were determined as of the closing date under Section 7.06 (in lieu of the effective date of the Default Notice) taking into account any contributions and/or distributions made after the effective date of the Default Notice. Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each Member written notice ("Adjusted Accountant's Notice") thereof. The Accounting Firm shall reasonably and in good faith adjust the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price, if and to the extent necessary, to take into account the adjustments described in the Adjusted Accountant's Notice and to take into account appropriate prorations that would have been made if there had been an actual sale of the Project to a third party as of the date of the closing under Section 7.06.
7.06 Closing of Purchase and Sale
The closing of a purchase and sale pursuant to this Article VII shall be held at the principal office of the Company in California on a Business Day designated by the Non-Defaulting Member that is not later than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period set forth in Section 7.04. The Defaulting Member shall transfer to the purchasing Non-Defaulting Member (or such Member's nominee(s)) the entire Interest of the Defaulting Member free and clear of all liens, security interests, and competing claims and shall deliver to the Non-Defaulting Member (or such 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 Non-Defaulting Member (or such Member's nominee(s)) shall reasonably request.

54430-10898/2652216.4
7.07 Representations and Warranties
At the closing, the Defaulting Member shall represent and warrant to the Non-Defaulting Member that the sale of the Defaulting Member's Interest to the Non-Defaulting Member (or its nominee) (i) does not 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 any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, security or pledge agreement, license, lease, franchise, permit, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Defaulting Member is a party (exclusive of any such agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party), or (ii) violate any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Defaulting Member or any of the other properties or assets of the Defaulting Member. The Defaulting Member shall also represent and warrant to the Non-Defaulting Member at such closing that no notice to, declaration, filing or registration with, or authorization, consent or approval, or permit from, any domestic or foreign governmental regulatory body or authority, or any Person, is necessary in connection with the sale of its Interest to the Non-Defaulting Member.
7.08 Payment of Defaulting Member's Purchase Price
The Non-Defaulting Member shall pay (or cause to be paid) the entire Defaulting Member's Purchase Price by delivering at the closing a confirmed wire transfer of readily available funds or one (1) or more certified or bank cashier's checks made payable to the order of the Defaulting Member.
7.09 Repayment of Default Loans
The Defaulting Member's Purchase Price 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-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting 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 Defaulting Member's Purchase Price is insufficient to fully offset the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loans (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member, then the portion of any such Default Loan(s) (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be required to be paid by the Defaulting Member at the closing referenced in Section 7.06. Also, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the unpaid balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (including all outstanding principal amounts thereof and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Defaulting Member to the Non-Defaulting Member be required to be paid by the Defaulting Member at the closing referenced in Section 7.06.

54430-10898/2652216.4
7.10 Release and Indemnity
On or before the closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Article VII, the Non-Defaulting Member shall use such Member's reasonable and good faith efforts to obtain written releases of the Defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member's Affiliates from all liabilities under all Loan Documents and all other liabilities of the Company for which Affiliates may have personal liability, except to the extent caused by the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement by the Defaulting Member (or any Affiliate thereof). To the extent the Non-Defaulting Member is unable to obtain such releases on or before the closing, the Non-Defaulting Member and an Affiliate of the Non-Defaulting Member with a net worth reasonably acceptable to the Defaulting Member shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold the Defaulting Member (and its Affiliates) wholly harmless from and against all such liabilities and guaranties, except for any liabilities arising out of the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement by the Defaulting Member (or any Affiliate thereof).
7.11 Withdrawal of the Defaulting Member
If the Interest of the Defaulting Member is purchased by the Non-Defaulting Member (or its nominee) pursuant to this Article VII, then, effective as of the closing for such purchase, the Defaulting Member shall withdraw as a member of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnity of the Defaulting Member and its Affiliates provided for under this Agreement including, without limitation, under Section 10.02(b) shall survive the sale of the Interest of the Defaulting Member and its withdrawal as a member of the Company.
7.12 Distribution of Reserves
The amount established by the Non-Defaulting Member for reserves pursuant to Section 7.03(iii) above shall be invested by the Company into a separate interest bearing account and shall be drawn upon solely to satisfy any contingent, unmatured or conditional liabilities or obligations of the Company in existence as of the effective date of the Default Notice for which such reserve was established. Within one (1) year following the closing of the purchase of the entire Interest of the Defaulting Member in the Company pursuant to this Article VII, the Non-Defaulting Member shall pay to the Defaulting Member an amount equal to the difference between the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price determined pursuant to Section 7.03 and the amount that the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price would have been equal to if (i) no reserves had been established or deducted in calculating the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price, and (ii) the amount used in determining the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price under Section 7.03(iv) had been reduced by the aggregate amount of any contingent, unmatured or conditional liabilities of the Company (for which such reserve was established) that were actually paid by the Company during such one (1)-year period. Any interest earned on the proceeds invested in the interest bearing account shall be paid to the Defaulting Member in the same ratio as the principal balance of such proceeds is distributed in accordance with this Section 7.12.

ARTICLE VIII
ELECTIVE BUY/SELL AGREEMENT
ELECTIVE BUY/SELL AGREEMENT
8.01 Buy/Sell Election
Either Member that is not a Defaulting Member (the "Electing Member") shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after the Lockout Date or an Impasse Event to elect to implement the buy/sell procedures set forth in this Article VIII by delivering written notice of such election ("Election Notice") to the other Member (the "Non-Electing Member"). The term "Lockout Date" means two (2) years after the Effective Date. 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 all of the assets of the Company. For purposes of this Article VIII, a Member shall not be deemed to be a Defaulting Member after the expiration of the sixty (60)-day or ninety (90)-day period, as the case may be, set forth in Section 7.02.
8.02 Determination of the Purchase Price
Within ten (10) Business Days following the effective date of any Election Notice (or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter), the Accounting Firm shall determine the aggregate amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member if (i) the assets of the Company were sold for their Stated Value as of the effective date of the Election Notice; (ii) the liabilities of the Company were liquidated pursuant to Section 12.02(a); (iii) a reserve was not established for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 12.02(b); and (iv) any remaining amounts were distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.01. Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each 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 to each Member pursuant to Section 12.03(c) shall be deemed the purchase price ("Purchase Price") for such Member's Interest for purposes of this Article VIII; subject, however, to adjustment for any Default Loans described in Section 8.08.
8.03 Non-Electing Member's Option
For a period of thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Price Determination Notice, the Non-Electing Member shall have the option to elect by delivering written notice (the "Purchase Notice") of such election to the Electing Member within such thirty (30)-day period, either (i) to purchase the Electing Member's entire Interest for the Purchase Price thereof, or (ii) to sell such Non-Electing Member's entire Interest to the Electing Member for the 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 Non-Electing Member to sell such Non-Electing Member's entire Interest for the Purchase Price thereof to the Electing Member.

8.04 Deposit
WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE THIRTY (30)-DAY OPTION PERIOD SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.03, THE BUYING MEMBER SHALL DEPOSIT INTO AN ESCROW ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED BY THE BUYING MEMBER WITH A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TITLE COMPANY, A DEPOSIT (THE "DEPOSIT") BY A WIRE TRANSFER OF IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FEDERAL FUNDS IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE PERCENT (5%) OF THE PURCHASE PRICE, WHICH SHALL BE NON-REFUNDABLE TO THE BUYING MEMBER IF THE CLOSING OF THE SALE FAILS TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THE BUYING MEMBER'S DEFAULT. UPON THE CLOSING OF THE SALE, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE A CREDIT AGAINST THE PURCHASE PRICE. SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.10, IF THE SALE FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO THE BUYING MEMBER, THEN THE SELLING MEMBER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT OF THE BUYING MEMBER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEFAULT. THE MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH THE SELLING MEMBER MAY SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH A DEFAULT BY THE BUYING MEMBER UNDER THIS ARTICLE VIII. THEREFORE, SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.10, 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 MEMBER TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW UNDER THIS ARTICLE VIII. THE MEMBERS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF DELAWARE LAW (OR CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3375 OR 3369 OR UNDER ANY OTHER STATE LAWS TO THE EXTENT DELAWARE LAW DOES NOT APPLY), BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO THE SELLING MEMBER PURSUANT TO DELAWARE LAW (OR CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OR UNDER ANY OTHER STATE LAWS TO THE EXTENT DELAWARE LAW DOES NOT APPLY). NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL LIMIT OR OTHERWISE AFFECT ANY RIGHTS THE SELLING MEMBER MAY HAVE TO OBTAIN SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDIES. 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).

8.05 Closing Adjustments
Within five (5) days before the actual date of the closing pursuant to Section 8.06 below, the Accounting Firm shall recalculate the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member pursuant to Section 5.01 if such amount were determined as of the closing date under Section 8.06 (in lieu of the effective date of the Election Notice) taking into account any contributions and/or distributions that occur after the effective date of the Election Notice. Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each Member written notice ("Adjusted Price Determination Notice") thereof. The Accounting Firm shall reasonably and in good faith adjust the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price, 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 Project 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 on a Business Day designated by the buying Member within sixty (60) days following the earlier of (i) the effective date upon which the Non-Electing Member has delivered the Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 8.03, or (ii) the expiration of the thirty (30)-day option period set forth in Section 8.03. The selling Member shall transfer to the buying Member (or the buying Member's nominee(s)) the entire Interest of the selling Member free and clear of all liens, security interests, and competing claims and shall deliver to the buying Member (or the 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 the buying Member's nominee(s)) shall reasonably request. The Purchase Price for the selling Member's Interest shall be paid by the buying Member by delivering at the closing of a confirmed wire transfer of readily available funds or one (1) or more certified or bank cashier's checks made payable to the selling Member in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, less the amount of the Deposit paid by the buying Member pursuant to Section 8.04 above (which shall be released to the selling Member at the closing). Effective as of the closing for the purchase of the selling Member's Interest, the selling Member shall withdraw as a member of the Company. In connection with any such withdrawal, the buying Member may cause any nominee designated in the sole and absolute discretion of such Member to be admitted as a substituted member of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnity of the selling Member and its Affiliates provided for under this Agreement including, without limitation, under Section 10.02(b) shall survive the sale of the Interest of the selling Member and its withdrawal as a member of the Company.
8.07 Representations and Warranties
At the closing, the selling Member shall represent and warrant to the buying Member that the sale of the selling Member's Interest to the buying Member (or its nominee) (i) does not 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 any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, security or pledge agreement, license, lease, franchise, permit, agreement or

other instrument or obligation to which the selling Member is a party (exclusive of any such agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party), or (ii) violate any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the selling Member or any of the other properties or assets of the selling Member (exclusive of its Interest in the Company). The selling Member shall also represent and warrant to the buying Member at such closing that no notice to, declaration, filing or registration with, or authorization, consent or approval, or permit from, any domestic or foreign governmental regulatory body or authority, or any Person, is necessary in connection with the sale of its Interest to the buying Member.
8.08 Repayment of Default Loans
The Purchase Price 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 the 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 Purchase Price 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 the selling Member, then the portion of any such Default Loan(s) (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be required to be paid by the Defaulting Member at the closing referenced in Section 8.06. Also, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the unpaid balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (including all outstanding principal amounts thereof and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the selling Member to the buying Member shall be required to be paid by the Defaulting Member at the closing referenced in Section 8.06.
8.09 Release and Indemnity
On or before the closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Article VIII, the buying Member shall use such Member's reasonable and good faith efforts to obtain written releases of the selling Member and the selling Member's Affiliates from all liabilities under all Loan Documents and all other liabilities of the Company for which the selling Member (and/or its Affiliates) may have personal liability, except to the extent caused by the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement by such selling Member (or any Affiliate thereof).

(e) Pre-Existing Business Relationship. Each Member acknowledges that such Member has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or its officers, directors, or principal interest holders, or, by reason of such Member's business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of such Member's financial advisors (who are not affiliated with the Company), could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect such Member's own interest in connection with the acquisition of its Interest.

Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, the Delaware Act and/or any other applicable law, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a member of the Company.
10.02 Exculpation, Indemnity and Reliance on Information
The Members hereby agree to the exculpation, indemnity and other provisions set forth below as follows:
(a) Liability. No authorized Person, Member or Officer of the Company, or, if designated by the Executive Committee, any Affiliate or any direct and indirect members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, managers, trustees and employees of any Member (collectively, the "Covered Persons") shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to any Member for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law or for anything that such Covered Person may do or refrain from doing hereafter, except to the extent caused by such Covered Person's fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement.
(b) Indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by the Executive Committee), protect and hold harmless, each Covered Person, from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Covered Person by reason of anything which such Covered Person may do or refrain from doing that arises out of or relates to the Company to the extent such Losses are not covered by insurance maintained by or for the benefit of such Covered Person. The foregoing obligation of the Company to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each Covered Person shall extend to any Losses incurred by any Guarantor under any Loan Document (or as a result of the rights of contribution described in Section 3.05). Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 10.02(b), no Covered Person (including any Guarantor) shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the extent any such Losses are incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person's fraud,

The Administrative Member may cause the Company to pay any costs and/or expenses incurred by any Covered Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding prior to the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person (or, in the Executive Committee's reasonable discretion, a creditworthy Affiliate thereof) to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section 10.02(b). The obligation of the Company to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless each Covered Person under any provision of this Agreement shall survive the withdrawal of any Member from the Company and/or the liquidation of the Company, in each case solely to the extent such obligation of the Company arose prior to such withdrawal or liquidation.
If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Section 10.02(b) is not paid in full within thirty (30) calendar days after a written claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Company, then the Covered Person may initiate an action to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action, the Covered Person shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person was entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law.
(c) Reliance upon Information, Opinions, Reports, etc. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company, any information received by any Member or the Company with respect to the Project (financial or otherwise), and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence including, without limitation, information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses or cash flow or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Member may engage in whatever activities such Member may choose, whether the same are competitive with the Company or otherwise, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Company or to the other Member. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any activities undertaken pursuant hereto shall prevent either Member from engaging in such activities, and to the maximum extent allowed by law, the fiduciary duties of the Members to each other and to the Company shall be limited solely to those arising from the business of the Company.
EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT THE MODIFICATION AND WAIVER OF THE FIDUCIARY DUTIES OF EACH MEMBER PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE X ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN WITH THE INFORMED CONSENT OF EACH MEMBER.

(b) Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, each Member intends to limit the standard of care, degree of loyalty and fiduciary duties to the maximum extent allowed by law; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

The Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Executive Committee shall determine and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 10.02(b) hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnifications as are appropriate.

The Administrative Member (or Tejon if it has replaced Majestic as the "tax matters partner" of the Company) is specifically directed and authorized to (x) take whatever steps may be necessary or desirable to perfect its designation as "tax matters partner," including filing any forms or documents with the IRS, and (y) take such other action as may from time to time be required under the Code and the Regulations. The "tax matters partner" of the Company shall cause each other Member to be a "Notice Partner" within the meaning of Code Section 6231(a)(8). The "tax matters partner" of the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any tax proceeding relating to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the "tax matters partner" of the Company shall (i) provide the Members with prompt notice and copies of all communications with the IRS, (ii) reasonably consult with the Members regarding the resolution of any disputes with the IRS, and (iii) not settle any such dispute, extend the statute of limitations with respect to such dispute, or take any other material action that would bind the Company or the Members in connection with such dispute, unless such decision is approved as a Major Decision. For taxable years beginning after 2017, the Administrative Member is hereby designated as the "partnership representative" of the Company (provided the Administrative Member shall not be authorized to take any action as the "partnership representative" of the Company that would require the consent of the Executive Committee if such action was taken by the "tax matters partner" of the Company). As the "partnership representative" of the Company, the Administrative Member will have the right to make an election to treat any "partnership adjustment" as an adjustment to be taken into account by each Member (and former member) in accordance with Section 6226 of the Code.

However, the Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of any of the following events:
(a) Sale of Assets. The sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets and the collection by the Company of all consideration received in such transaction (including, without limitation, the collection of any promissory note received by the Company);

(b) Election of Members. The affirmative election of the Executive Committee to dissolve the Company; or
(c) Decree of Dissolution. The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.
Except as provided above in this Section 12.01, neither Member shall have the right to, and each Member hereby waives to the maximum extent allowed by law the right to, unilaterally seek to dissolve or cause the dissolution of the Company or to unilaterally seek to cause a partial or whole distribution or sale of Company assets whether by court action or otherwise, it being agreed that any actual or attempted dissolution, distribution or sale would cause a substantial hardship to the Company and the other Member.
12.02 Winding Up of the Company
Upon the Liquidation of the Company caused by other than the termination of the Company under Section 708(b)(1)(b) of the Code (in which latter case the Company shall remain in existence in accordance with the provisions of such Section of the Code), the Administrative Member shall proceed to the winding up of the business and affairs of the Company. During such winding up process, the Net Profits, Net Losses and Cash Flow distributions shall continue to be shared by the Members in accordance with this Agreement. The assets shall be liquidated as promptly as consistent with obtaining a fair value therefor, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent available, shall be applied and distributed by the Company on or before the end of the taxable year of such Liquidation or, if later, within ninety (90) days after such Liquidation, in the following order:
(a) Creditors. First, to creditors of the Company (including Members who are creditors) in the order of priority as provided by law;
(b) Reserves. Second, to establishing any reserves which the Administrative Member reasonably determines are necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company; and
(c) Remaining Amounts. Thereafter, to the Members in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.01.
Any reserves withheld pursuant to Section 12.02(b) shall be distributed as soon as practicable, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Member, in the order of priority set forth in Section 12.02(c).
The Members believe and intend that the effect of making any and all liquidating distributions in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02(c) shall result in such liquidating distributions being made to the Members in proportion to the positive balances standing in their respective Capital Accounts. If this is not the result, then the Administrative Member, upon the advice of tax counsel to the Company, is hereby authorized to make such amendments to the provisions of Article IV that are reasonably approved by the Executive Committee as may be necessary to cause such allocations to be in compliance with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

13.17 Venue
If any litigation, claim or lawsuit directly or indirectly arising out of this Agreement is not required to be resolved in accordance with the JAMS procedures provided for under Section 13.18, then each Member hereby irrevocably consents to the maximum extent allowed by law to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in California and to the exclusive venue of (i) the Eastern District of California for any federal action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, and (ii) the Superior Court of California located in Xxxx County, California for any state action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement.
13.18 Dispute Resolution
Any action to resolve any controversy or claim arising out of, or related to in any way to, this Agreement (exclusive of any impasse on any Major Decision), including, without limitation, any alleged breach of this Agreement and any claim based upon any tort theory, however characterized shall be resolved through a binding arbitration before an arbitrator in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.18.
(a) Binding Arbitration. Any Member desiring to bring any action under this Agreement shall give written notice to the other Member (the "Arbitration Notice"), which notice shall state with particularity the nature of the dispute and the demand for relief, making specific reference by Section and title, if applicable, of the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to the dispute. This arbitration provision and its validity, construction, and performance shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA") and cases decided thereunder and, to the extent relevant, the laws of the State of California. Further, the terms and procedures governing the enforcement of this Section 13.18 shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the FAA, and not individual state laws regarding enforcement of arbitration agreements.
(b) Selection of Arbitrator. The Members shall endeavor to agree, within thirty (30) days of the Arbitration Notice, upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The arbitrator shall be a single former judge of the Superior Court or the Court of Appeal of the State of California or a member in good standing with the California State Bar currently employed by or associated with the office of JAMS/ENDISPUTE ("JAMS") located in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrator shall have no direct or indirect social, political or business relationship of any sort with either of the Members, their respective legal counsel, or any other Person materially involved with the Project. If the Members cannot agree upon the arbitrator within such thirty (30)-day period, then JAMS, in its sole discretion, shall provide a list of three (3) arbitrators with the qualifications set forth above. Within ten (10) days of JAMS providing the above-described list, each Member shall be entitled to strike one (1) name from the list and so notify JAMS. JAMS, in its sole discretion, thereafter shall select as arbitrator any one (1) of the persons remaining on the list, and the person so selected shall thereafter serve as arbitrator. If for any reason JAMS is unable or unwilling to make such an appointment, then any Member may apply to the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Los Angeles for appointment of any former judge of the Superior Court or the Court of Appeal of the State of California to serve as arbitrator. The appointment of an arbitrator, whether by JAMS or by the Superior Court pursuant to the
1116763.08/OC 373745-00002/0-0-00/pdo/agt | 55 |
54430-10898/2652216.4
foregoing, shall be made, and the arbitrator shall serve, without further objection from any Member, except on the ground of conflict of interest, if any, pursuant to the same rules that would apply if the arbitrator was serving as an active member of the Superior Court or Court of Appeal.
(c) Location of Proceeding. The proceeding shall take place at a City of Los Angeles office of JAMS and shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions of JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures in effect on the date of the Arbitration Notice (the "Rules"); provided that in all events the rules of evidence in such proceeding shall be governed by the California Evidence Code. Discovery between the parties prior to the arbitration hearing shall be limited to the mutual exchange of relevant documents. Interrogatories and request for admissions shall not be allowed under any circumstance. Depositions of witnesses shall not be permitted, unless it is shown that the witness will be otherwise unavailable and it is necessary to preserve his or her testimony for the hearing. The arbitrator shall have the authority set forth in Section 1282.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure to issue subpoenas requiring the attendance at the hearing of witnesses, and to issue subpoenas duces tecum for the production at the hearing of books, records, documents and other evidence.
(d) Resolution Dispute. In resolving the dispute, the arbitrator shall apply Delaware law to the matter being considered under this Agreement. In resolving the dispute, the arbitrator shall apply the pertinent provisions of this Agreement without departure therefrom in any respect, and the arbitrator shall not have the power to change any of the provisions of the Agreement. The arbitrator shall try all of the issues including, without limitation, any issues that may be raised concerning whether the dispute is subject to the provisions of this Section 13.18 and any and all other issues, whether of fact or of law, and shall hear and decide all motions and matters of any kind. The arbitrator shall not be required to prepare a written statement of decision as to any interlocutory decision, but at the conclusion of the arbitration shall prepare a written statement of decision thereon which shall be final and binding upon the parties, and upon which judgment may be entered in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any interlocutory decisions by the arbitrator likewise shall be final and binding, except that the arbitrator shall have the power to reconsider such decisions for good cause shown. The Members shall not have the right to appeal the arbitration award consistent with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure in effect at the time or any similar successor rules. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Subject to the limitations in this Section 13.18, the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in a judicial proceeding. The arbitrator may award interim and final injunctive relief and other remedies, but may not award punitive, exemplary, treble, or other enhanced damages. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to issue any award or determination that would amend or modify this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party shall be permitted to seek a temporary restraining order, or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction with regard to any controversy, dispute, or claim between them relating to or arising out of this Agreement, a breach of this Agreement, or the termination of the Administrative Member, where such relief is appropriate; provided that other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 13.18. Each Member shall use reasonable efforts to expedite the arbitration process, and each Member shall have the right to be represented by counsel.

54430-10898/2652216.4
(e) Award of Fees. Subject to the obligation of the arbitrator to award such fees and expenses to the prevailing party as provided above, until the arbitrator issues his or her final statement of decision, each Member shall pay the fees and expenses of its attorneys and experts in connection with the adjudication and one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the same power as a judge pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure to award sanctions with reference to interlocutory matters. Each Member shall bear an equal (pro rata) share of any arbitration costs, including any administrative or hearing fees charged by the arbitrator or JAMS.
(f) Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH MEMBER HEREBY WAIVES EACH SUCH MEMBER'S RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE COMPANY, THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY MEMBER AGAINST THE OTHER MEMBER, WHETHER WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, OR OTHERWISE. EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY AN ARBITRATOR AS PROVIDED ABOVE BUT THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE EVEN IF, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION CANNOT BE TRIED BY SUCH ARBITRATOR. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH MEMBER FURTHER AGREES THAT EACH SUCH MEMBER'S RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW BY OPERATION OF THE FOREGOING AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS, OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT.

13.22 Reasonableness of Rights and Remedies
THE RIGHTS AND REMEDIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 3.03 AND ARTICLES VII AND VIII) ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR EACH MEMBER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE MEMBERS WOULD NOT HAVE AGREED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BUT FOR THE AGREEMENT OF EACH MEMBER TO BE BOUND BY SUCH REMEDIES. EACH MEMBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING REMEDIES ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND HAVE BEEN ENTERED INTO WITH THE INFORMED CONSENT OF EACH MEMBER. EACH MEMBER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH THE COMPANY AND THE NON‑DEFAULTING MEMBER MAY SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE DEFAULTS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THEREFORE, EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE REASONABLY AND FAIRLY REFLECT THE DETRIMENT THAT THE COMPANY AND THE NON‑DEFAULTING MEMBER WOULD SUFFER IN SUCH EVENT AND, IN LIGHT OF THE DIFFICULTY IN DETERMINING ACTUAL DAMAGES, REPRESENT A PRIOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE MEMBERS AS TO APPROPRIATE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. EACH MEMBER ALSO AGREES THAT THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY UNDER DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EACH MEMBER FURTHER COVENANTS NOT TO CONTEST THE VALIDITY OF THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE AS A PENALTY, FORFEITURE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY COURT OF LAW (AND/OR IN ANY ARBITRATION OR MEDIATION).

13.23 Force Majeure
The term period for each Member to perform any obligation under this Agreement shall be extended for the time period such Member (the "Obligated Member") is unable to perform such obligation as a result of any Force Majeure Delay. The term "Force Majeure Delay" means any delay as a result of war, national emergency, strikes (other than strikes or labor disturbances limited in scope to primarily the employees of the Obligated Member or any Affiliate thereof), riot or civil unrest, utility failure, acts of God (excluding inclement weather) or other events totally outside the control of the Obligated Member or any Affiliate thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Force Majeure Delay shall be deemed to exist as a result of (i) the Obligated Member's lack of funds (other than a temporary lack of funds resulting from any event totally outside the control of the Obligated Member described in the preceding sentence), or (ii) any delay solely caused by any act or omission of the Obligated Member or any Affiliate thereof, and in any event, the length of any Force Majeure Delay shall be reduced by (A) the time period that elapses after the tenth Business Day following the initial cause of the delay through the date the Obligated Member notifies the other Member in writing of the delay and the reason for the delay (if the Obligated Member has previously failed to provide such notice to the other Member on or before the tenth Business Day following the initial cause of the delay), or (B) the length of any delay caused by the Obligated Member's failure to promptly exercise and continue to exercise reasonable commercial efforts to remove or overcome such delay. All other delays from acts or events are explicitly excluded from Force Majeure Delays and shall not extend the time period for any Member to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer Notice, the non-transferring Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase the entire Offered Interest for the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering written notice of such election (the "Purchase Election") to the Offeror. The failure of non-transferring Member to submit a notice within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute an irrevocable rejection of the offer made by the Offeror to sell the Offered Interest to the non-transferring Member.
(c) If the non-transferring Member timely elects to purchase the entire Offered Interest prior to the Offeror's written revocation of the Offer, then the closing for the Offered Interest shall be made upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice including, without limitation, price, terms of payment and closing date; provided, however, if the terms of the proposed transfer include the payment by the Offeror of a commission, then the purchase price shall be reduced by the amount of such commission. The Offeror and the non-transferring Member shall execute such documents and instruments and make such deliveries as may be reasonably required to consummate the transfer. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Exhibit "D," the Offeror shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.07 of the Agreement at the closing for the purchase and sale of the Offered Interest.
(d) If the non-transferring Member does not timely elect to purchase the entire Offered Interest (or if the non-transferring Member breaches its obligation to purchase the entire Offered Interest), then the Offeror may transfer the entire Offered Interest to the proposed transferee described in the Offer Notice, provided such transfer (i) is completed within ninety

(90) days after the expiration of the non-transferring Member's right to purchase the Offered Interest (or within 90 days following the breach by the non-transferring Member of its obligation to purchase the entire Offered Interest, if applicable), (ii) is made at the price and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Offeror than as described in the Offer Notice, (iii) would not constitute a default or breach by the Company under any loan agreement or document to which the Company is a party (unless the lender consents to such transfer), and (iv) the requirements of Section 6.03 are met. If the Offered Interest is not so transferred within such ninety (90)-day period, then the Offeror shall be required to comply again with the provisions of this Exhibit "D" prior to voluntarily transferring, assigning, conveying, selling or otherwise disposing of the Offered Interest to any Person (except for any transfer to any Person permitted by Sections 6.02(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) above). In addition, in the event of a breach by the non-transferring Member of its obligation to purchase, such non-transferring Member shall not have a right to elect to purchase an Offered Interest with respect to a transfer of an Interest which is consummated within one (1) year after such breach.
(e) If any transferee purchases an Interest pursuant to the procedure described in this Exhibit "D," then such transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a substituted member upon the closing of such purchase and sale and the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 6.03.
