999903-14000/2-15-19/pdo/agt

Redemption and Withdrawal Agreement entered into on November 30, 2016, by and between the Company and LTM (the “LTM Redemption Agreement”), LTM agreed to the redemption of its entire Interest in the Company and to withdraw as a member of the Company. The withdrawal of LTM as a member of the Company was memorialized pursuant to the First Amendment. Prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), Xxxxxx and CalAtlantic (on behalf of itself and SPIC) remain Non-Funding Members.

D. As a result of the Non-Funding Members’ failure to fund any additional capital requested under the LLC Agreement, the Percentage Interests of the Members as of immediately prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date are as follows (the “Fourth Amendment Effective Date Percentage Interests”):

Tejon                85.58%         Xxxxxx                 7.21%         CalAtlantic/SPIC         7.21%

E. Pursuant to Section 13.1A of the LLC Agreement, a Non-Funding Member may elect to withdraw as a member of the Company at any time by delivering written notice of such election to Tejon.

H. Pursuant to Section 10.1 of the LLC Agreement, the Eligible Developers (and their respective designated Affiliates) have the right to make offers to purchase and acquire Private Sale Lots and to use their respective Applicable Lot Credits for such purchases, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the LLC Agreement. If the Specific Plan Approval(s) are not obtained prior to the Specific Plan Approvals Deadline(s), then such rights automatically terminate, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the LLC Agreement.

I. Although the Company did not obtain final approval from the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors of the Specific Plan by September 30, 2018, in consideration of Xxxxxx’x efforts toward assisting the Company achieve such Specific Plan Approval, the Remaining Members now desire to amend the LLC Agreement for the benefit of Xxxxxx to extend (i) each Specific Plan Approvals Deadline only with respect to Xxxxxx, and (ii) the date that Xxxxxx may elect to withdraw as a member of the Company and still be defined as a Subsequent Withdrawing Developer, in each case, as set forth herein, and the CA Withdrawing Members now desire to acknowledge the same and their withdrawal from the Company as provided in the CA Redemption Agreement, all as set forth below.
