Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that any violation or threatened violation by it (or any of its representatives) of its covenants and obligations hereunder would cause irreparable injury to the other Party and that monetary damages, even if determinable, would not alone be adequate to compensate for such injury. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedy that may be available to them at law, they each shall be entitled to injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies in furtherance of this Agreement without posting bond or other security and without having to prove actual damage or harm.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the indemnifying Party believes that any of the exceptions to its obligation of indemnification of any Indemnitee set forth in this Section 10 may apply, the indemnifying Party will promptly notify such Indemnitees, which will then have the right to be represented in any such action or proceeding by separate counsel at their expense; provided that the indemnifying Party will be responsible for payment of such expenses if such Indemnitees are ultimately determined to be entitled to indemnification from the indemnifying Party. The indemnifying Party will not settle any claims against any Indemnitee in any way that adversely impacts such Indemnitee or its Affiliates without obtaining the prior written consent of such Indemnitee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.

The Parties hereby agree that the arbitrator has authority to issue rulings and orders regarding all procedural and evidentiary matters that the arbitrator deems reasonable and necessary with or without petition therefor by the Parties as well as the final ruling and judgment. Rulings will be issued by written order summarizing the arbitration proceedings. Any judgment or award by the arbitrator in any dispute will have the same force and effect as the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this arbitration clause will prevent either Party from seeking a pre-award attachment of assets or injunctive relief to enforce its rights in intellectual property, confidentiality, or non-solicit obligations under this Agreement, or to enjoin any event that might cause irreparable injury, in a court of competent jurisdiction prior to an award on the merits by the arbitrator.

VIRTRA SYSTEMS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
This certifies that _________________________ (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price (as defined below), from VirTra Systems Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth below (the “Warrant Amount”) in the Company.
1. Purchase of Shares.
(a) Warrant Amount. The Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company _______ shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), representing five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, including Common Stock of the Company subject to options, warrants, and other purchase rights, or 9,193,820 Shares after taking into account warrants granted on the date hereof to other affiliates of Modern Round, L.L.C.
(b) Exercise Price. The purchase price for each Share issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be $.1367, which is equal to the average of the closing or last price of the Common Stock of the Company on its principal trading market during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the issuance of this Warrant. Such purchase price is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price.”
2. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the term commencing on the first anniversary of the opening of the first facility of Modern Round, L.L.C. and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time five years from the date hereof, which date shall be called the “Expiration Date.”
Exhibit A-1 |
3. Method of Exercise.
(a) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Unless exercised in accordance with Section 4 below, such exercise shall be effected by the following:
(i) the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.
(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificate.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled or, if uncertificated, a book entry to that effect, and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or book entry (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, with a Warrant Amount equal to (x) the Warrant Amount, less (y) the aggregate amount of Exercise Price paid by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant prior to the date of issuance of such new warrant (including, in the event of any Net Exercise, the aggregate value of such amount of Shares foregone in such Net Exercise (calculated as X minus Y under the formula set forth in Section 4 below, as applied to such Net Exercise)).
4. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder that Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
|
X= | Y (A-B) | ||
A |
Exhibit A-2 |
Where
X = | The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder. | |
Y = | The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation). | |
A = | The fair market value of one (1) Share (at the date of such calculation). | |
B = | The Exercise Price per Share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the following: (a) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed; (b) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (c) if on any such day the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (d) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case under subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) the price will be averaged over the fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately prior to the day as of which “Fair Market Value” is being determined; provided, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term “Business Day” as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value per Share as determined jointly by the Board and the Holder.
5. Covenants of the Company.
(a) Shares Outstanding Notice. Upon request by the Holder at any time during the Exercise Period, the Company shall deliver, the next business day after such request, a certificate of an officer of the Company, representing to the number of Shares outstanding as of the date of delivery by the Company of such notice, so that the Holder may determine the Exercise Price and number of Shares issuable as of such date of delivery. Absent manifest error, the Holder shall be entitled to rely without investigation on such certificate for the purposes of completing and submitting a Notice of Exercise.
(b) Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that this Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued, and that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action in the opinion of its counsel, to be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.
Exhibit A-3 |
(c) No Impairment. Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its governing instruments or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
(a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding Shares shall be subdivided (by any stock split, recapitulation, or otherwise) into a greater number of Shares or if the Company shall pay a dividend or may any other distribution upon the Shares shall be payable in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, dividend, or distribution be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If outstanding Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(b) Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant)), consolidation or merger of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger, or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 6; and in each such case; appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing party is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value for the Shares reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction), and the terms of this Section 6 shall be applicable to the Shares or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
Exhibit A-4 |
7. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional share or scrip representing fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
8. No Member Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a shareholder with respect to the Shares underlying this Warrant, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Shares, receive distributions thereon, Shares or be notified of membership meetings.
9. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Arizona as applied to agreements among Arizona residents, made and to be performed entirely within the state of Arizona.
10. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns.
11. Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Warrant.
12. Notices. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and if not so confirmed, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt.

VIRTRA SYSTEMS, INC.
WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
This certifies that (the “Holder”), is entitled to purchase, at the Exercise Price (as defined below), from VirTra Systems Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company”), a number of shares of Common Stock as set forth below (the “Warrant Amount”) in the Company.
1. Purchase of Shares.
(a) Warrant Amount. The Holder is entitled, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing), to purchase from the Company _____ shares of Common Stock (“Shares”), representing five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis, including Common Stock of the Company subject to options, warrants, and other purchase rights, or 9,193,820 Shares after taking into account warrants granted on the date hereof to other affiliates of Modern Round, L.L.C.
(b) Exercise Price. The purchase price for each Share issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be $.1367, which is equal to the average of the closing or last price of Common Stock of the Company on its principal trading market during the 15 trading days immediately prior to the issuance of this Warrant. Such purchase price is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price.”
2. Exercise Period. This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the term commencing at the time that Modern Round, L.L.C. has paid the Company at least $2,000 in Royalty payments pursuant to that Co-Venture Agreement between Modern Round, L.L.C. and the Company and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time five years from the date hereof, which date shall be called the “Expiration Date.”
Exhibit B-1 |
3. Method of Exercise.
(a) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Unless exercised in accordance with Section 4 below, such exercise shall be effected by the following:
(i) the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Shares being purchased.
(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Shares represented by such certificate.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Shares to which such Holder shall be entitled or, if uncertificated, a book entry to that effect, and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or book entry (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, with a Warrant Amount equal to (x) the Warrant Amount, less (y) the aggregate amount of Exercise Price paid by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant prior to the date of issuance of such new warrant (including, in the event of any Net Exercise, the aggregate value of such amount of Shares foregone in such Net Exercise (calculated as X minus Y under the formula set forth in Section 4 below, as applied to such Net Exercise)).
4. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder that Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Shares computed using the following formula:
X | = | Y(A-B) |
||||||
A |
Exhibit B-2 |
Where
X | = | The number of Shares to be issued to the Holder. |
Y | = | The number of Shares purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation). |
A | = | The fair market value of one (1) Shares (at the date of such calculation). |
B | = | The Exercise Price per Share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Share shall mean the following: (a) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed; (b) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (c) if on any such day the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (d) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; in each case under subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) the price will be averaged over the fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately prior to the day as of which “Fair Market Value” is being determined; provided, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term “Business Day” as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value per Share as determined jointly by the Board and the Holder.
5. Covenants of the Company.
(a) Shares Outstanding Notice. Upon request by the Holder at any time during the Exercise Period, the Company shall deliver, the next business day after such request, a certificate of an officer of the Company, representing to the number of Shares outstanding as of the date of delivery by the Company of such notice, so that the Holder may determine the Exercise Price and number of Shares issuable as of such date of delivery. Absent manifest error, the Holder shall be entitled to rely without investigation on such certificate for the purposes of completing and submitting a Notice of Exercise.
(b) Covenants as to Exercise Shares. The Company covenants and agrees that this Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued, and that all Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of authorized but unissued Shares shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such corporate action in the opinion of its counsel, to be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Shares to such number of Shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.
Exhibit B-3 |
(c) No Impairment. Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its governing instruments or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Shares.
(a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding Shares shall be subdivided (by any stock split, recapitulation, or otherwise) into a greater number of Shares or if the Company shall pay a dividend or may any other distribution upon the Shares shall be payable in shares of Common Stock, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, dividend, or distribution be proportionately reduced, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If outstanding Shares shall be combined into a smaller number of Shares, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased, and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(b) Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant)), consolidation or merger of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger, or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the stock or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the stock or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 6; and in each such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing party is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value for the Shares reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Shares acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction), and the terms of this Section 6 shall be applicable to the Shares or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.

(b) Exercise Price. The purchase price for each Unit issuable pursuant to this Warrant shall be $0.25. Such purchase price is herein referred to as the “Exercise Price.”
2. Exercise Period.
(a) This Warrant shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, during the term commencing on the
first anniversary of the opening of the Company’s first facility and ending at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the earlier of (i) one business day prior to the one (1) year anniversary of an Initial Public Offering as defined below, (ii) one business day prior to the two (2) year anniversary a Listing Event as defined below, (iii) the record date for a Liquidation Event, or (iv) five years from the date hereof, which dates shall be called the “Expiration Date.”
Exhibit C-1 |
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of, at any time prior to the Expiration Date, an initial public offering of securities of the Company registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (an “Initial Public Offering”), or the Company becoming a reporting company (a “Listing Event”) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or a Liquidation Event (as defined below), the Company shall notify the Holder at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation of such Initial Public Offering, Listing Event, or Liquidation Event.
(c) For purposes of this Warrant, “Liquidation Event” shall mean:
(i) a merger, reorganization, or consolidation involving the Company in which
(A) the Company is a constituent party or
(B) a subsidiary of the Company is a constituent party and the Company issues shares of its capital stock pursuant to such merger or consolidation,
except any such merger, reorganization, or consolidation involving the Company or a subsidiary in which the equity of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger, reorganization, or consolidation continue to represent, or are converted into or exchanged for equity that represent, immediately following such merger, reorganization, or consolidation, at least a majority, by voting power, of the equity of (1) the surviving or resulting corporation or (2) if the surviving or resulting corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of another corporation immediately following such merger, reorganization, or consolidation, the parent corporation of such surviving or resulting corporation;
(ii) the sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license, or other disposition, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company of all or substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or all or substantially all of the intellectual property of the Company, or the sale or disposition (whether by merger or otherwise) of one or more subsidiaries of the Company if substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole are held by such subsidiary or subsidiaries, except where such sale, lease, transfer, exclusive license or other disposition is to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company; or
(iii) a transaction or series of related transactions after the date hereof in which a person or group of persons (as defined in Rule 13d-5(b) of the Exchange Act acquires beneficial ownership (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of a majority of the voting power of the Units of the Company.
3. Method of Exercise.
(a) While this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable in accordance with Section 2 above, the Holder may exercise, in whole or in part, the purchase rights evidenced hereby. Unless exercised in accordance with Section 4 below, such exercise shall be effected by the following:
Exhibit C-2 |
(i) the surrender of this Warrant, together with a duly executed copy of the Notice of Exercise attached hereto, to the Secretary of the Company at its principal office (or at such other place as the Company shall notify the Holder in writing); and
(ii) the payment to the Company of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Units being purchased.
(b) Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the day on which this Warrant is surrendered to the Company as provided in Section 3(a) above. At such time, the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate for the Units shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 3(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of the Units represented by such certificate.
(c) As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, and in any event within ten (10) days thereafter, the Company at its expense will cause to be issued in the name of, and delivered to, the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct:
(i) a certificate or certificates for the number of Units to which such Holder shall be entitled or, if uncertificated, a book entry to that effect, and
(ii) in case such exercise is in part only, a new warrant or book entry (dated the date hereof) of like tenor, with a Warrant Amount equal to (x) the Warrant Amount, less (y) the aggregate amount of Exercise Price paid by the Holder in exercise of this Warrant prior to the date of issuance of such new warrant (including, in the event of any Net Exercise, the aggregate value of such amount of Units foregone in such Net Exercise (calculated as X minus Y under the formula set forth in Section 4 below, as applied to such Net Exercise)).
4. Net Exercise. In lieu of exercising this Warrant for cash, the Holder may elect to receive Units equal to the value of this Warrant (or the portion thereof being exercised) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company together with notice of such election (a “Net Exercise”). A Holder that Net Exercises shall have the rights described in Sections 3(b) and 3(c) hereof, and the Company shall issue to such Holder a number of Units computed using the following formula:
X | = | Y (A-B) |
||||||
A |
Where
X | = | The number of Units to be issued to the Holder. | ||||
Y | = | The number of Units purchasable under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being exercised (at the date of such calculation). | ||||
A | = | The fair market value of one (1) Unit (at the date of such calculation). |
B | = | The Exercise Price per Unit (as adjusted to the date of such calculation). |
Exhibit C-3 |
For purposes of this Section 4, the fair market value of a Unit shall mean the following:
(I) In the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 4 in connection with the Initial Public Offering, the fair market value per Unit shall be the per share offering price to the public of the Initial Public Offering.
(II) In the event that this Warrant is exercised pursuant to this Section 4 in connection with a Liquidation Event, the fair market value per Unit shall be the value of the consideration payable in such transaction in respect of an outstanding Unit, assuming that all Units then-issuable upon exercise of this Warrant were outstanding and the aggregate Exercise Price therefor had been paid to the Company in cash immediately prior to such Liquidation Event.
(III) In the event this Warrant is exercised pursuant to Section 4 in connection with a Listing Event, the fair market value shall be (a) the volume weighted average of the closing sales prices of the Common Stock for such day on all domestic securities exchanges on which the Common Stock may at the time be listed; (b) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on any such exchange on any such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock on all such exchanges at the end of such day; (c) if on any such day the Common Stock is not listed on a domestic securities exchange, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association for such day; or (d) if there have been no sales of the Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association on such day, the average of the highest bid and lowest asked prices for the Common Stock quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association at the end of such day; provided, that if the Common Stock is listed on any domestic securities exchange, the term “Business Day” as used in this sentence means Business Days on which such exchange is open for trading. If at any time the Common Stock is not listed on any domestic securities exchange or quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Pink OTC Markets or similar quotation system or association, the “Fair Market Value” of the Common Stock shall be the fair market value per share as determined jointly by the Board and the Holder.
(IV) In the event that this Warrant is exercised other than in connection with an Initial Public Offering, Liquidation Event, or Listing Event, the fair market value of a Unit shall be an amount determined by an independent nationally recognized financial advisor, which advisor shall make such determination within twenty (20) days of its appointment; engaged by the Company to value all Units.
Exhibit C-4 |
In the case of (IV), the fair market value shall be calculated by the applicable financial advisor(s) in good faith by calculating the then fair market value of the Company assuming a sale of the Company as a whole and then determining the amount payable to a holder of each Unit as a result of such a hypothetical sale and assuming distribution of the proceeds of such sale in accordance with the Company’s governing instruments then in effect (assuming that all Units then-issuable upon exercise of this Warrant were outstanding and the aggregate Exercise Price therefor had been paid to the Company in cash immediately prior to such hypothetical sale and distribution); provided, further, the financial advisor shall assume that the buyer is under no compulsion to buy and the sellers are under no compulsion to sell and without applying any minority interest discount. The decisions and calculations by the financial advisor selected in accordance with the foregoing paragraph shall be rendered in writing and shall be signed by such advisor. In the absence of bad faith or intentional wrongdoing by such advisor, the final determination of the fair market value by such financial advisor in accordance with this Warrant shall be conclusive, final, and binding on the Company and the Holder and shall be enforceable in any court having jurisdiction over a proceeding brought to seek such enforcement. The cost of such fair market value determination shall be borne by the Company. In the event that a Notice of Exercise has been submitted to the Company prior to the end of the Exercise Period or an automatic Net Exercise pursuant to Section 3(d) above has been triggered as of the end of the Exercise Period, the Exercise Period shall (notwithstanding anything is this Warrant to the contrary) automatically be extended until such time as the determination of fair market value hereunder has been completed and the Units issuable in such Net Exercise have been issued to the Holder.
5. Covenants of the Company.
(a) Units Outstanding Notice. Upon request by the Holder at any time during the Exercise Period, the Company shall deliver, the next business day after such request, a certificate of an officer of the Company, representing to the number of Units outstanding as of the date of delivery by the Company of such notice, so that the Holder may determine the Exercise Price and number of Units issuable as of such date of delivery. Absent manifest error, the Holder shall be entitled to rely without investigation on such certificate for the purposes of completing and submitting a Notice of Exercise.
(b) Covenants as to Exercise Units. The Company covenants and agrees that this Warrant is, and any Warrant issued in substitution for or replacement of this Warrant shall be, upon issuance, duly authorized and validly issued, and that all Units that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant will, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, be duly authorized, validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issuance thereof. If, at any time during the Exercise Period, the number of authorized but unissued Units shall not be sufficient to permit exercise of this Warrant, the Company will take such limited liability company or corporate action, as the case may be, in the opinion of its counsel, to be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued Units to such number of Units as shall be sufficient for such purposes. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, if an exercise of any portion of this Warrant is to be made in connection with a public offering or a sale of the Company (pursuant to a merger, sale of stock, or otherwise), such exercise may at the election of the Holder be conditioned upon the consummation of such transaction, in which case such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction.
(c) No Impairment. Except and to the extent waived or consented to by the Holder or as otherwise permitted under the terms hereof, the Company will not, by amendment of its governing instruments or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the exercise rights of the Holder against impairment.
Exhibit C-5 |
6. Adjustment of Exercise Price and Number of Units.
(a) Stock Splits and Dividends. If outstanding Units shall be subdivided (by any stock split, recapitulation, or otherwise) into a greater number of Units or if the Company shall pay a dividend or may any other distribution upon the Units shall be payable in Units, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision, dividend, or distribution be proportionately reduced, and the number of Units issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately increased. If outstanding Units shall be combined into a smaller number of Units, the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall, simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately increased, and the number of Units issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately decreased. When any adjustment is required to be made in the Exercise Price, the number of Units purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be changed to the number determined by dividing (i) an amount equal to the number of Units issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment, by (ii) the Exercise Price in effect immediately after such adjustment.
(b) Reclassification, Etc. In case of any reclassification or change of the outstanding securities of the Company (or any other corporation the stock or securities of which are at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant)), consolidation, or merger of the Company, sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or any similar corporate reorganization on or after the date hereof, then and in each such case the Holder, upon the exercise hereof at any time after the consummation of such reclassification, change, reorganization, merger, or conveyance, shall be entitled to receive, in lieu of the Units, stock, or other securities and property receivable upon the exercise hereof prior to such consummation, the Units, stock, or other securities or property to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation if such Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment as provided in Section 6; and in each such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made with respect to the Holder’s rights under this Warrant to ensure that the provisions of this Section 6 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to this Warrant in relation to any Units, shares of stock, securities, or assets thereafter acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant (including, in the case of any consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction in which the successor or purchasing party is other than the Company, an immediate adjustment in the Exercise Price to the value for the Units reflected by the terms of such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction, and a corresponding immediate adjustment to the number of Units acquirable upon exercise of this Warrant without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise, if the value so reflected is less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, or similar transaction), and the terms of this Section 6 shall be applicable to the Units or other securities properly receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant after such consummation.
Exhibit C-6 |
7. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional share or scrip representing fractional Units shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional Units the Company shall make a cash payment therefor on the basis of the Exercise Price then in effect.
8. No Member Rights. Prior to exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall not be entitled to any rights of a Member with respect to the Units underlying this Warrant, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Units, receive distributions thereon, Units or be notified of membership meetings.
9. Governing Law. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the state of Nevada as applied to agreements among Nevada residents, made and to be performed entirely within the state of Nevada.
10. Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Warrant shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and the holders hereof and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 2.4. Registered Office; Registered Agent; Principal Office; Other Offices. The registered office of the Company required by the Act to be maintained in the state of Nevada shall be the office of the initial registered agent named in the Articles or such other office (which need not be a place of business of the Company) as the Manager may designate from time to time in the manner provided by law.

The Company may have such other offices as the Manager may designate from time to time.
Section 2.5. No State Law Partnership. The Company is a Nevada limited liability company that will be treated as a partnership only for federal income tax purposes, and if applicable, state tax purposes, and no Member shall be deemed to be a partner or joint venturer of any other Member for any purposes other than federal income tax purposes and, if applicable, state tax purposes, and this Agreement shall not be construed to suggest otherwise.

8 |
(b) Immediately prior to a Corporate Conversion in connection with a Public Offering, the Manager shall determine in good faith the then aggregate value of the Interests. Such valuation will be based on the price per share at which shares of common stock of the Company or any successor to the Company resulting from a Corporate Conversion are to be sold to the public in the Public Offering. The Interests held by each Member shall be converted or exchanged in connection with the Corporate Conversion into a number of shares of common stock of the Company or any successor to the Company resulting from a Corporate Conversion determined by dividing (i) the amount that would be distributed to such Member upon a dissolution of the Company for cash in accordance with Section 13.4 at the aggregate value determined by resolution of the Manager, by (ii) a value per share of common stock of the Company or any successor to the Company resulting from a Corporate Conversion selected by resolution of the Manager; provided, however, that any Interests that do not have a positive value shall be canceled in connection with the Corporate Conversion and the Company shall have no further obligations with respect thereto.
(c) If the Corporate Conversion does not occur in connection with a Public Offering, each class, series, or type of Interest will be converted or exchanged in connection with the Corporate Conversion into shares of capital stock or options, warrants, or other stock equivalents, as the case may be, of the Company or any successor to the Company resulting from a Corporate Conversion having rights that are equivalent in all material respects to the rights of such Interest (other than as to matters that reflect inherent differences between corporate and limited liability company form).
(d) If the Corporate Conversion occurs in connection with a Public Offering, each Member agrees that upon the request of the managing underwriter in such Public Offering or any subsequent Public Offering, such Member will not offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or right for the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any of the Company or any successor to the Company resulting from a Corporate Conversion securities held by such Member (other than those included in such registration) or engage in any swap or derivative transactions involving securities of the Company or any successor to the Company resulting from a Corporate Conversion, in each case without the prior written consent of such underwriter, for such period of time as may be requested by such underwriter (commencing as of the date of such Public Offering and ending no later than (i) 180 days thereafter (subject to extension by the managing underwriter to the extent required to comply with FINRA rules), in the case of the initial public offering of the common stock of the Company or any successor to the Company resulting from a Corporate Conversion or (ii) ninety (90) days thereafter, in the case of any other registration.
(e) Upon Corporate Conversion pursuant to this Section 2.8, the Members will, if requested by the Manager, enter into a stockholders agreement containing operative terms that are substantially similar to the corresponding terms of this Agreement (but only to the extent such terms are consistent with the other provisions of this Section 2.8).

Section 5.7. Drag-Along Right.
(a) In the event that the Manager approves (i) a transaction or series of related transactions in which a third-party, or a group of related third-parties, acquires from the Members of the Company Interests representing fifty percent or more of the outstanding voting power of the Company, (ii) any acquisition of the Company by means of merger, exchange, transfer, or other form of corporate reorganization or consolidation in one or a series of related transactions with or into another entity in which outstanding Interests of the Company are exchanged for securities or other consideration issued, or caused to be issued, by the other entity corporation or its subsidiary and, as a result of which transaction, the Members of the Company own fifty percent or less of the voting power of the surviving entity (other than a mere re-incorporation transaction), or (iii) a sale, transfer, lease, or other disposition (other than a pledge or grant of a security interest to a bona fide lender) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than to or by a wholly owned subsidiary or parent of the Company) (such events described in subsections (i), (ii), and (iii) are referred to in this Agreement as a “Sale of the Company”), then each Member hereby agrees with respect to the Interest that he holds and any other Company securities over which he otherwise exercises dispositive power:
14 |
(i) If such Sale of the Company requires approval of the Members, with respect to all Interests that such Member owns or over which such Member otherwise exercises voting power, to vote (in person, by proxy, or by action by written consent, as applicable) all such Interest in favor of, and adopt, such Sale of the Company and to vote in opposition to any and all other proposals that could reasonably be expected to delay or impair the ability of the Company to consummate such Sale of the Company;
(ii) In the event that the Sale of the Company is to be effected by the sale of Interests held by the Members (the “Transferring Member”), each Member agrees to sell all his Interests of the Company beneficially held by such Member (or in the event that the Transferring Member is selling fewer than all of his Interest of the Company, Interests in the same proportion as the Transferring Member is selling) to the person to whom the Transferring Member proposes to sell his Interest, for an amount equal to the amount such Member would receive if the assets of the Company were sold on the same terms and conditions and at a price consistent with the price as the Transferring Member would receive from the proposed purchaser, and on the same terms and conditions as the Transferring Member, except that the other Member will not be required to sell his Interests unless the liability for indemnification, if any, of each Member in such Sale of the Company is several, not joint, and is pro rata in accordance with such Member’s relative ownership of the Company, and will not exceed the consideration payable to such Member, if any, in such transaction (except in the case of potential liability for fraud or willful misconduct by such Member);
(iii) To execute and deliver all related documentation and take such other action in support of such Sale of the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Manager in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this Section, including, without limitation, executing and delivering instruments of conveyance and transfer, and any purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, consent, waiver, governmental filing, share certificates duly endorsed for transfer (free and clear of impermissible liens, claims and encumbrances), and any similar or related documents;
15 |
(iv) Not to deposit, and to cause any affiliates not to deposit, except as provided in this Agreement, any Interest of the Company owned by such party or affiliate in a voting trust or subject any Interest to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such Interest, unless specifically requested to do so by the acquiror in connection with the Sale of the Company; and
(v) To refrain from exercising any dissenters’ rights or rights of appraisal under applicable law at any time with respect to such Sale of the Company.
Each Member hereby appoints the secretary of the Company and the Manager as such Member’s proxy and attorney-in-fact with respect to all Interests held by such Member solely to vote such Interest in favor of a Sale of the Company, to the extent necessary to carry out the terms and provisions of this Section. The proxies granted in this section are proxies coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable throughout the term of this Agreement.
The proceeds of any Sale of the Company received by any Unitholder in his capacity as such to which this Section 5.7 applies shall be allocated among the other Unitholders based upon the Classes of Units included or deemed to be included in such Sale of the Company by each of the Unitholders as if the proceeds of such Sale of the Company were paid to the Unitholders pursuant to Section 8.1 of this Agreement and the other Unitholders included or deemed to be included in such Sale of the Company were the only outstanding Units of the Company at the time of such Distribution. Any amount otherwise allocable to the other Unitholders under this Section 5.7(b) shall be subject to reduction for any tax or other amounts required to be withheld under the provisions of any documents executed in connection with the Sale of the Company or otherwise under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the Manager’s sole discretion, the proceeds with respect to a Sale of the Company may be withheld from any Unitholder pending the execution of the deliveries set forth in Section 5.7(a) or posting of such Unitholder’s pro rata share of any security as the Manager deems necessary to cover any purchase price adjustments, indemnification or such other obligations of the Company or a Unitholder as set forth in Section 5.7(a) and Section 5.7(c).
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Unitholders shall be severally obligated to join on a pro rata basis in any indemnification obligation the Manager or other Unitholders have agreed to in connection with such Approved Sale (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to a particular Unitholder, such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by a Unitholder regarding such Unitholder’s title to and ownership of Units); provided, however, that unless a prospective Transferee permits a Unitholder to give a guarantee, letter of credit, or other mechanism (which shall be dealt with on an individual basis), any escrow of proceeds of any such transaction shall be withheld on a pro rata basis among all Unitholders. Each Unitholder shall pay its share (determined on a pro rata basis) of the third-party expenses incurred by the Unitholders pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such expenses are incurred for the benefit of all Unitholders (as determined by the Manager). Expenses incurred by any Unitholder on its own behalf (including the fees and disbursements of counsel, advisors, and other Persons retained by such holder in connection with the Approved Sale) will not be considered costs incurred for the benefit of all Unitholders and, to the extent not paid by the Company, will be the responsibility of such Unitholder. Each Unitholder shall enter into any other agreement that the Manager approves. Without limiting the immediately prior sentence, each Unitholder shall enter into any indemnification, contribution, or Unitholder representative agreement requested by the Manager to ensure compliance with this Section 5.7(c) and the provisions of this Section 5.7(c) requiring several liability shall be deemed complied with if such requirement is addressed through such agreement, even if the purchase and sale agreement or merger agreement related to the Sale of the Company provides for joint and several liability.

The Members hereby appoint Virtual Management, L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company as the successor Manager effective on the date of this Agreement. Such Manager shall serve until its resignation or dissolution. Except as described in this Agreement or as authorized by further action of the Manager under the provisions of this Agreement, no Person other than the Manager, and the duly authorized, officers, employees and agents of the Company, if any, shall take part in the management, or the operation or control of the business and affairs of the Company or have any right, power or authority to transact any business in the name of the Company or to act for on behalf of or to bind the Company.
(b) The Manager shall have the power to do any and all acts necessary, convenient, or incidental to or for the furtherance of the purposes described herein, including all powers, statutory or otherwise, possessed by managers of a limited liability company under the Act.

Unless the Manager otherwise decides, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office subject to any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such officer by the Manager. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he or she shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

ASSIGNABILITY OF MEMBER INTERESTS OR UNITS
Section 7.1. Assignability of Interest. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 7, no Member may Transfer the whole or any part of his or her Interest or any fractional or beneficial interest therein. If a Member Transfers an Interest in accordance with this Article 7, such Transfer shall, nevertheless, not entitle the assignee to become a substitute Member or to be entitled to exercise or receive any of the rights, powers or benefits of a Member other than the right to receive distributions to which the assigning Member would be entitled, unless the Manager consents to the admission of such assignee as a Member; and provided further, that such assignee shall not become a substitute Member without having first executed an instrument reasonably satisfactory to the Manager that approved the Transfer, which shall at a minimum include an acceptance and agreement by the substitute Member to abide by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 7.2. Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member shall be permitted to assign, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of an Interest to a Permitted Assignee and a holder of a direct or indirect interest in a Member (an “Interest Holder”) shall be permitted to assign, at any time and from time to time, all or any part of its interest in such Member to a Permitted Assignee. For this purpose “Permitted Assignee” means with respect to a particular Member or an Interest Holder, a Person that is (i) a spouse, natural or adoptive lineal ancestor or descendant of such Member or Interest Holder (a “Family Member”); (ii) a trust, estate, guardianship, or custodianship, including those established under any of the Uniform Gifts to Minors Act of any state, established for such Member or Interest Holder, or one or more Family Members or other Permitted Assignees of such Member or Interest Holder; (iii) a Person that is under the control of or in common control with such Member or another Permitted Assignee of such Member; (iv) a partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other entity that is owned directly or indirectly by any Person that is an Interest Holder of a Member as of the date of the Agreement and the Family Members or other Permitted Assignees of such Interest Holder; and (v) a Person succeeding to the interest of a Member or of any Interest Holder of a Member as the result of the death of any other Person by will or intestacy or distribution from a trust without any payment of consideration by such Person. The subsequent Transfer of any Interest by a Permitted Assignee shall be subject to the same restrictions of this Article 7 in the same manner as if the Interest to be Transferred was still owned by the Member from whom such Permitted Assignee acquired such Interest; and for this purpose references herein to a Transfer by a Member (or a specific Member), shall include any Transfer by the Permitted Assignee(s) that acquired such Member’s Interest, and references to a specific Member by name shall include its Permitted Assignees.
18 |
Section 7.3. Recognition of Assignment by Company or Other Members. No Transfer of Interest that is in violation of this Article 7 shall be valid or effective, and the Company shall not recognize the same for any purpose of this Agreement, including the purpose of making distributions of Net Cash Flow pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Interest or part thereof. No liability shall be incurred as a result of refusing to make any such distributions to the assignee of any such invalid assignment.
Section 7.4. Effective Date of Assignment. Any valid Transfer of a Member’s Interest, or part thereof, pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7 shall be effective as of the close of business on the day preceding the closing of the transaction evidencing the Transfer. The Company shall, from the effective date of such Transfer, thereafter pay all further distributions on account of the Interest (or part thereof), so assigned, to the assignee of such Interest, or part thereof. As between any Member and its assignee, the profits and losses of the Company for federal, state and local income tax purposes for the Fiscal Year of the Company in which such assignment occurs shall be apportioned for federal income tax purposes in accordance with any convention permitted under Section 706(d) of the Code and selected by the Manager.
Section 7.5. Limitations on Transfer. No Transfer of Interest may be effectuated unless in the opinion of the Company’s counsel the Transfer (a) would not result in the close of the Company’s tax year or the termination of the Company within the meaning of Section 708(b) of the Code; (b) would comply with the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable securities laws of any other jurisdiction; (c) would not cause the Company to be a publicly traded limited partnership as defined in Section 7104 of the Code and (c) would not violate any other applicable laws, provided that the provisions of this Section 7.5 may be waived by the Manager.
ARTICLE VIII
DISTRIBUTIONS TO MEMBERS
Section 8.1. Net Cash Flow. Distributions of Net Cash Flow shall be made at the sole discretion of the Manger. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 8, all distributions of Net Cash Flow, other than upon a liquidation of the Company, shall be made to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests:
Section 8.2. Tax Distributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to any agreements to which the Company is subject, to the extent Net Cash Flow is available, the total distributions (“Minimum Distributions”) to a Member for each Fiscal Year (and the 90-day period following such Fiscal Year) shall not be less than an amount equal to the product of (x) the Company’s net taxable income allocated to such Member for such Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years for federal income tax purposes, multiplied by (y) the highest federal tax rate (including after taking into account the Net Investment Income tax) an individual ordinary income or capital gain, as the case may be, plus the rate of income tax for residents of Arizona, after taking into account the federal income tax deduction for such taxes, reduced by all prior distributions pursuant to Section 8.1, regardless of the actual federal tax rates or Arizona tax rates applicable to the Members. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to cause such distributions to be made in a manner which permits such Member to use the proceeds of such distributions to make on a timely basis all required estimated payments of income taxes in respect of the taxable income so allocated to them (including as soon as is reasonably feasible following the end of each calendar quarter, but in no event later than January 10, April 10, June 10 and September 10 of each calendar year). To the extent that such Minimum Distributions requirement increases the amount of distributions beyond the amount to which a Member would be entitled in the absence thereof, the excess portion shall be considered a prepayment of future distributions allocable to such Member; provided, however, that adjustments to any such future distributions to that Member shall not decrease his aggregate distributions below an amount necessary to meet the Minimum Distribution requirement for such Member for subsequent Fiscal Years. The Manager, at his its discretion, may increase Minimum Distributions to take into account taxes imposed by states other than Arizona.
19 |
Section 8.3. Withholding. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any foreign, state, or local tax law or treaty with respect to any payment, distribution, or allocation to the Company or the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Article 8 for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions, or with respect to allocations, to the Members and to pay over to any federal, foreign, state or local government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other federal, foreign, state, or local law or treaty and shall allocate such amounts to those Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld.
Section 8.4. Limitations on Distribution. Except as provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to any distribution of cash or other property from the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Member on account of its Interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law.
ARTICLE IX
TAX ALLOCATIONS
Section 9.1. Allocations.
(a) For each Fiscal Year of the Company, after adjusting each Member’s Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions during such Fiscal Year and all special allocations pursuant to Section 9.2 with respect to such Fiscal Year, all Profits and Losses (other than Profits and Losses specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.2) and if necessary, individual items of gross income or loss, as determined by the Manager shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year, the Capital Account of each Member (which may be either a positive or negative balance) shall be equal to (a) the amount which would be distributed to such Member, determined as if the Company were to sell all of its assets for the Gross Asset Value thereof, pay all liabilities allocable to such assets according to their terms (limited, with respect to each nonrecourse liability, to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability) and distribute the proceeds thereof pursuant to Section 13.4, hereof, minus (b) the sum of (i) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(d) and (g)(3)) and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)) and (ii) the amount, if any, which such Member is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company as of the last day of such Fiscal Year.
20 |
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.1, the amount of items of Company expense and loss allocated pursuant to this Section 9.1 to any Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year. All such items in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 9.1 (b) shall be allocated first to Members who would not have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, prorata in proportion to their Capital Account balances as adjusted in accordance with the definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.
Section 9.2. Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company fiscal year so that an allocation is required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), then each Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain as determined by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Such allocations shall be made in a manner and at a time which will satisfy the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and this Section shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) If there is a net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any Company fiscal year, any Member who has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as determined in the same manner as partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) shall be specially allocated items of income or gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years) equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain in the manner and to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.
(c) If a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), any of which causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in such Member’s Capital Account, then such Member will be specially allocated items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit balance created or increased by such adjustment, allocation, or distribution as quickly as possible; provided, however, an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(c) will be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 9 have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.2(c) were not in the Agreement.

(d) Deductions attributable to any Company Nonrecourse Liability, as defined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(b)(3) of the Treasury Regulations shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
(e) Deductions attributable to any Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
(f) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if such gain or loss increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.
(g) If any Member makes a loan to the Company, or the Company makes a loan to any Member, and interest in excess of the amount actually payable is imputed under Code Sections 7872, 483, or 1271 through 1288 or corresponding provisions of subsequent Federal income tax law, then any item of income or expense attributable to any such imputed interest shall be allocated solely to the Member who made or received the loan and shall be credited or charged to its Capital Account, as appropriate.
(h) In the event that a guaranteed payment to a Member is ultimately recharacterized (as the result of an audit of the Company’s return or otherwise) as a distribution for federal income tax purposes, and if such recharacterization has the effect of disallowing a deduction or reducing the adjusted basis of any asset of the Company or a Member, then an amount of Company gross income equal to such disallowance or reduction shall be allocated to the recipient of such payment. In the event that a distribution to a Member is ultimately recharacterized (as a result of an audit of the Company’s return or otherwise) as a guaranteed payment for federal income tax purposes, and if any such recharacterization gives rise to a deduction, such deduction shall be allocated to the recipient of the distribution.
(i) For purposes of calculating a Member’s share of “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3)), the Class A Members intend that they be considered as sharing profits of the Company in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
22 |
(j) In the event an interest in the Company is acquired through the exercise of a noncompensatory option (within the meaning of Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.721-1(d)), the Company shall comply with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s). In the event that capital is reallocated among the Members pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s)(3), the Manager shall cause to be made corrective allocations within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(x), so as to take into account such capital reallocation.
(k) The allocations set forth in this Section 9.2 (collectively the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 and Section 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article 9 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Members shall, with the advice and assistance of the Company’s tax accountants, take the Regulatory Allocations into account in allocating other Profits, Losses, and items of income, gain, loss, deduction and Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other Profits, Losses, and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
Section 9.3. Allocations and Other Rules.
(a) In the event Members are admitted to the Company pursuant to this Agreement on different dates, the Profits (or Losses) allocated to the Members for each Fiscal Year during which Members are so admitted shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Interests during such Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706 of the Code, using any convention permitted by law and selected by the Manager.
(b) For purposes of determining the Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Manager using any method that is permissible under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and any other allocations not otherwise provided for shall be divided among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profits and Losses for the Fiscal Year in question.
(d) Income, gain, loss, or deduction with respect to any property contributed by a Member shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members, to the extent required by Code Section 704(c) and the related Treasury Regulations under Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c), to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its Gross Asset Value at the time of its contribution to the Company. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted, as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), then subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be as provided in Code Section 704(c) and the related Treasury Regulations. Allocations under this Section 9.3(d) shall be made in accordance with the traditional method set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(b) and are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, or other items or distributions under any provision of this Agreement.
23 |
(e) All other tax elections required or permitted by law or Treasury Regulation or similar state or local rule or regulation shall be made by the Manager. The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 9 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 9 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

Section 12.3. Indemnification. All Covered Persons shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any Damages incurred by such Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Person provided that: (i) any such action was undertaken in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company; (ii) any such action was reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Person by this Agreement; and (iii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, such Person had no reasonable cause to believe his action or omission was unlawful, except that no Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any Damages incurred by such Person by reason of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions or for any Damages for which it has obligations to indemnify under Section 12.7; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 12.3 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only (including the proceeds of any insurance policy obtained pursuant to Section 12.5 hereof), and no Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof, including without limitation, any obligation to contribute money or other property to the Company.

The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons against any Damages that may be asserted against or that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such Damages under the provisions of this Agreement. The Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 12.4 hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

ARTICLE XIII
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION
Section 13.1. No Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of additional Members or substitute Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or the withdrawal of a Member.
Section 13.2. Events Causing Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(a) | the determination of the Manager to the dissolution of the Company; |
(b) | at such time as there are no Members; |
(c) | the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under the Act; or |
(d) | upon the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and a distribution of all of the proceeds of such sale. |
Section 13.3. Notice of Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Members shall be notified of such dissolution.
27 |
Section 13.4. Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Manager (in such capacity, the “Liquidating Trustee”) shall carry out the winding up of the Company and shall immediately commence to wind up the Company’s affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation. During the period of winding up all of the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, other than those provisions that are clearly inconsistent with the winding up process. No Member may take any action during the winding up period not otherwise permitted by this Agreement. The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed in the following order and priority:
(a) first, to payment of all expenses and debts of the Company and purchasing insurance policies that will provide for any contingent liabilities or obligations of the Company, the amount of such insurance to be based on the experience of the Company for such liabilities and obligations; provided, however, that the unpaid principal of and interest on any loans made to the Company by Members (and their Affiliates), shall be distributed pro rata to the Members (and their Affiliates) who made such loans, in proportion to the total amount of principal and interest payable on such loans, such distributions being treated first as a payment of accrued interest on such loans and next as in payment of principal on such loans; and
(b) second, the balance to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1.
Section 13.5. Termination. The Company shall terminate when all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Members in the manner provided for in this Article 13 and the Articles shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.
Section 13.6. Claims of the Members or Third Parties. The Members and former Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of a Member under applicable law. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the time of the Company’s dissolution, it shall not be required to restore such account to a positive balance or otherwise make any payments to the Company or its creditors or other third parties in respect of such deficiency.
Section 13.7. Distributions In-Kind. If any assets of the Company shall be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed to the Member(s) entitled thereto as tenants-in-common in the same proportions as such Member(s) would have been entitled to cash distributions if (i) such assets had been sold for cash by the Company at the fair market value of such property (taking Code Section 7701(g) into account) on the date of distribution; (ii) any unrealized income, gain, loss and deduction inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) that would be realized by the Company from such sale were allocated among the Member(s); and (iii) the cash proceeds were distributed to the Member(s) in accordance with this Article 13. The Capital Accounts of the Member(s) shall be increased by the amount of any unrealized income or gain inherent in such property or decreased by the amount of any loss or deduction inherent in such property that would be allocable to them, and shall be reduced by the fair market value of the assets distributed to them under the preceding sentence.

(i) if given to the Company at the principal place of business of the Company set forth in Section 2.5 hereof.
(ii) if given to any Member, at such address as set forth in Schedule A or at such address as such Member may hereafter designate by written notice to the Company.
Section 14.2. Failure to Pursue Remedies. The failure of any party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original violation.
Section 14.3. Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.
Section 14.4. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and assigns.

All references herein to “Articles,” “Sections” and “Paragraphs” shall refer to corresponding provisions of this Agreement.
Section 14.6. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

29 |

Upon the breach of this Section by any Member, the other Member, in addition to all other rights and remedies in law and equity, shall be entitled to a decree or order dismissing application, action or proceeding.
Section 14.11. Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed, to confer upon or give any person, firm, or corporation other than the parties hereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, or result in their being deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
Section 14.12. Effect of Waiver or Consent. A waiver or consent, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of its obligations with respect to the Company is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person with respect to the Company. Failure on the part of a Person to complain of any act of any Person or to declare any Person in default with respect to the Company, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by that Person of its rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of-limitations period has run.
Section 14.13. Jurisdiction and Venue. Each Member, Manager, or officer of the Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any action, suit, or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach or threatened breach of this Agreement shall be commenced and prosecuted in the state or federal courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona. Each Member, Manager or officer of the Company consents and submits, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of any such court in respect of any such action, suit or proceeding. Each Member, Manager or officer of the Company consents to service of process upon it with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding by registered mail, return receipt requested (i) if given to a Manager or officer of the Company, at the principal place of business of the Company set forth in Section 2.4 hereof, and (ii) if given to any Member, at such address as set forth in Schedule A or at such address as such Member may hereafter designate by written notice to the Company, and by any other means permitted by applicable law. Each Member, Manager or officer of the Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court and any claim that it may now or hereafter have that any such action, suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
30 |
Section 14.14. Waiver of Jury Trial. NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ASSIGNEE, SUCCESSOR, HEIR OR PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE OF A PARTY SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY LAWSUIT, PROCEEDING, COUNTERCLAIM OR ANY OTHER LITIGATION PROCEDURE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER AGREEMENTS OR THE DEALINGS OR THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PARTIES. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION, IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL HAS BEEN WAIVED, WITH ANY OTHER ACTION IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN FULLY DISCUSSED BY THE PARTIES HERETO, AND THESE PROVISIONS SHALL BE SUBJECT TO NO EXCEPTIONS. NO PARTY HERETO HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.
Section 14.15. Legal Counsel. Legal counsel for a Member or one of its Affiliates may represent the Company in connection with legal work or issues arising in connection with the Company. Each Member recognizes and acknowledges that any such counsel will be acting as legal counsel for the Company with respect to each such matter and shall not be acting as the legal counsel of any individual Member. Each Member further recognizes and accepts that its interest with respect to any such matter may be adverse to the interests of the other Members and of the Company.

Each Member acknowledges that in the event of any future dispute or litigation between or among the Members and/or between any of the Members and the Company, such counsel may continue to represent its Member client, notwithstanding any such dispute and its prior representation of the Company.
