Section 4.18       Permitted Withdrawal and Redemption Requests. After the Three Year Term, a Class A Member may request that the Company redeem a maximum of One Hundred (100) Units from said Member per Fiscal Year. In the event a Member desires redemption and qualifies for the same, said Member (“Redeeming Member”) shall submit a written request (“Redemption Request”) to Withdraw and for the Company to redeem said Member’s Units up to maximum of One Hundred (100) Units per Fiscal Year. The Redemption Request shall specify the number of Units (“Request Units”) to be redeemed, provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, a Member may only request the redemption of Units that have been issued and outstanding for longer than the Three (3) Year Term. The Redemption Request shall be effective in the Fiscal Quarter after said Request is actually received by the Company; redemptions will be closed at the end of a Fiscal Quarter, and Members must have delivered a completed Redemption Request to the Manager no later than the last day of the prior Fiscal Quarter in order to be eligible to participate in a redemption in the current Fiscal Quarter. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company’s ability to meet Redemption Requests is wholly contingent upon the sufficiency and availability of Cash Available for Redemption and shall be subject to Manager’s sole and absolute discretion.

Section 4.19          Redemption Requests; Sufficient Cash Available for Xxxxxxxxxx.Xx the extent there is sufficient and available Cash Available for Redemption, as determined by the Manager in its sole and absolute discretion, to meet all Redemption Requests timely delivered by Redeeming Members in the prior Fiscal Quarter, the Company shall redeem the Request Units from all Redeeming Members for the Redemption Price per Unit.

The Redemption Price shall be rounded down to the nearest $0.01. The Redeeming Members shall be entitled to any distribution payable to such Member through the closing date of the redemption.

Section 4.20       Redemption Requests Terms. Closing on the redemption of Request Units may occur electronically no later than the last Business Day of the subsequent Fiscal Quarter, and the Company shall tender cash or other readily available funds to the Redemption Members in payment of the Redemption Price for the Request Units. Upon receipt by each Redeeming Member of the Redemption Xxxxx due said Member for said Member’s Request Units, said Redeeming Member shall promptly execute and deliver any documents of transfer requested by the Company to evidence such redemption. The Company may assess a reasonable processing fee (the “Processing Fee”) per

Redemption Request. The Company may, in its discretion, assess this Processing Fee against the Redemption Price for the Request Units. Notwithstanding Section 10.1, or anything else herein, to the contrary, the Redeeming Member is not eligible to receive distributions (made pursuant to Section 10.1 or otherwise) on Request Units in the Fiscal Quarter in which said Member has been redeemed for said Request Units.

4.20.1      The Company shall assess a surrender fee (the “Surrender Fee”) against the Redemption Price per Unit in an amount equal to TEN CENTS ($0.10) per Unit shall be assessed for Withdrawal Requests.

Section 4.21       Mandatory Redemptions Applicable to ERISA Investors. The Company may issue Units to an ERISA Investor in exchange for Capital Contribution(s) and the Manager may admit such ERISA Investor as a Member subject to the terms hereof; provided, that the Manager shall only accept Capital Contributions from an ERISA Investor and issue Units in exchange thereof (and xxxxx said ERISA Investor as a Member if applicable) if, after said issuance, the Units held by ERISA Investors, collectively, would be less than twenty five percent (25%) of the Units then outstanding. At all times, the number of Units held by ERISA Investors shall be less than twenty-five percent (25%) of all Units then outstanding. For purposes of this calculation, the term “Member” shall include Assignees. This limitation shall be referred to as the “ERISA Investor Restriction.” If as a result of a Member Withdrawal, redemption or otherwise or issuance of additional Units, the Company violates or will violate the ERISA Investor Restriction, the Manager has the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to cause the Company to redeem outstanding Units that are then held by ERISA Investors, on a pro rata basis, as is or may be necessary to ensure that the Company does not violate the ERISA Investor Restriction. In the event the Manager determines to exercise its rights under this Section 4.21, the Manager shall give each ERISA Investor immediate written notice of said determination, and in such Writing shall advise each ERISA Investor of the number of Units to be redeemed from said Investor, the effective date of such redemption and the Redemption Price to be paid to such Investor. Upon the effective date of such redemption, the Manager shall cause the Company to tender to each ERISA Investor the Redemption Price applicable to said Investor as directed by said Investor. No fees shall be assessed by the Company on a redemption occurring pursuant to this Section.

Section 4.22       Company Option to Redeem. If a Class A Member’s Units are Transferred (the “Involuntary Transferred Units”) due to said Class A Member’s death or by any court or other judicial authority, including, but not limited to, Transfers ordered in a Bankruptcy proceeding, divorce, or as a result of garnishment, attachment or execution, the Company has the option, exercisable in its sole and exclusive discretion, to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Involuntary Transferred Units for the price and upon the terms as the Manager

may reasonably determine. Within thirty (30) Business Days after the date on which the Company receives written notice of the applicable event, the Company shall provide written notice of its exercise of its option to redeem to the Member, the court and the proposed assignee and/or the successor of the Class A Member (the “Successor”) as applicable (the “Option Notice”).

4.22.1 The redemption price for the involuntary Transferred Units shall be an amount equal to their Redemption Price less the Processing Fee and less all any and all loss, liability, damages, loss and expenses incurred by the Company as a result of or related to the Transfer. In the event the Company has an offset rights hereunder and exercises the same, then the Company shall notify in writing the Class A Member, the court and/or Successor, as applicable, of the amount of offset, with reasonable detail and documentation regarding the same, and shall provide the amount of the Redemption Price as reduced by any offset.

4.22.2 The closing of the redemption of the Involuntary Transferred Units may occur electronically or as the Manager may determine and shall take place within a reasonable amount of time after the Option Notice.

4.22.3 Notwithstanding anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Successor and/or the applicable Class A Member shall merely be an assignee from and after the date of the applicable event causing the Transfer, and such Successor and/or the applicable Class A Member shall thereinafter have no right to vote or exercise rights of a Class A Member hereunder.

4.22.4 In the event that any Successor and/or the applicable Member (“Defaulting Person”) shall be required to sell its Involuntary Transfer Units hereunder, and in the further event that Defaulting Person is unable to, or for any reason does not, deliver such Involuntary Transfer Units and necessary documentation to the Company and the Manager in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, then the Company may deposit the applicable redemption price for such Involuntary Transfer Units, by certified check with the Company’s primary bank, as agent or trustee, or in escrow, for such Defaulting Person, to be held by the bank until withdrawn by such Defaulting Person.

Section 9.1          Allocations. Each Member’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or items thereof) of the Company as shown on the

annual federal income tax return prepared by the Company’s accountants or as finally determined by the United States Internal Revenue Service or the courts, and as modified by the capital accounting rules of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder shall be determined as follows:

9.1.1           Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.1:

(A)                   items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or items thereof) shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests, if any, except that items of loss or deduction allocated to any Member pursuant to this Section with respect to any taxable year shall not exceed the maximum amount of such items that can be so allocated without causing such Member to have a deficit balance in his or its Capital Account at the end of such year, computed in accordance with the rules of paragraph (b)(2)(ii)( d) of Section 1.704-1 of the Income Tax Regulations. Any such items of loss or deduction in excess of the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence shall be allocated as follows and in the following order of priority:

(1)                         first, to those Members who would not be subject to such limitation, in proportion to their Percentage Interests, and

(2)                         second, any remaining amount to the Members in the manner required by the Code and Income Tax Regulations.

Subject to the provisions of Sections 8.1.2 – 8.1.11, inclusive, of this Agreement, the items specified in this Section 9.1 shall be allocated to the Members as necessary to eliminate any deficit Capital Account balances.

The allocation shall take into account, to the full extent required or permitted by the Code, the difference between the adjusted basis of the property to the Member contributing it (or, with respect to property which has been revalued, the adjusted basis of the property to the Company) and the fair market value of the property determined by the Members at the time of its contribution or revaluation, as the case may be.

9.1.3           Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.1, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum

Gain or Company Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (as such terms are defined in Sections 1.704-2(b) and 1.704-2(i)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations, but substituting the term “Company” for the term “Partnership” as the context requires) during a Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in the manner provided in Section 1.704-2 of the Income Tax Regulations. This provision is intended to be a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations and shall be interpreted and implemented as therein provided.

9.1.4           Qualified Income Offset.

This provision is intended to be a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Income Tax Regulations and shall be interpreted and implemented as therein provided.

9.1.5           Depreciation Recapture. Subject to the provisions of Section 704€ of the Code and Sections 8.1.2 – 8.1.4, inclusive, of this Agreement, gain recognized (or deemed recognized under the provisions hereof) upon the sale or other disposition of Company property, which is subject to depreciation recapture, shall be allocated to the Member who was entitled to deduct such depreciation.

If and to the extent any Member is deemed to recognize income as a result of any loans pursuant to the rules of Sections 1272, 1273, 1274, 7872 or 482 of the Code, or any similar provision now or hereafter in effect, any corresponding resulting deduction of the Company shall be allocated to the Member who is charged with the income.

9.1.7           Tax Credits. Tax credits shall generally be allocated according to Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations or as otherwise provided by law. Investment tax credits with respect to any property shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with the manner in

which Company profits are allocated to the Members under Section 8.1.1 hereof, as of the time such property is placed in service. Recapture of any investment tax credit required by Section 47 of the Code shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportion in which such investment tax credit was allocated.

9.1.8           Change of Pro Rata Interests. Except as provided in Sections 8.1.6 and 8.1.7 hereof or as otherwise required by law, if the proportionate interests of the Members of the Company are changed during any taxable year, all items to be allocated to the Members for such entire taxable year shall be prorated on the basis of the portion of such taxable year which precedes each such change and the portion of such taxable year on and after each such change according to the number of days in each such portion, and the items so allocated for each such portion shall be allocated to the Members in the manner in which such items are allocated as provided in Section 8.1.1 during each such portion of the taxable year in question.

9.1.9           Effect of Special Allocations on Subsequent Allocations. Any special allocation of income or gain pursuant to Sections 8.1.3 or 8.1.4 hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of income and gain pursuant to this Section 9.1 so that the net amount of all such allocations to each Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1 if such special allocations of income or gain under Section 9.1.3 or 9.1.4 hereof had not occurred.

9.1.10        Nonrecourse and Recourse Debt. Items of deduction and loss attributable to Member nonrecourse debt within the meaning of Section 1.7042(b)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations shall be allocated to the Members bearing the economic risk of loss with respect to such debt in accordance with Section 1704-2(i)(l) of the Income Tax Regulations. Items of deduction and loss attributable to recourse liabilities of the Company, within the meaning of Section 1.752-2 of the Income Tax Regulations, shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the ratio in which the Members share the economic risk of loss for such liabilities.

9.1.11        State and Local Items. Items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and tax preference for state and local income tax purposes shall be allocated to and among the Members in a manner consistent with the allocation of such items for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1.

Section 9.2          Accounting Matters. The Managers shall cause to be maintained complete books and records accurately reflecting the accounts, business and transactions of the Company on a calendar-year basis and using such cash, accrual, or hybrid method of accounting as in the judgment of the

The Company shall strive to make distributions on an annual basis. All distributions of Net Operating Cash Flow shall be distributed as follows: first, to the Class A Members to the extent and in proportion with their Invested Capital Contributions until the Class A Preferred Return has been paid current; then to the Class B Members to the extent and in proportion with their Invested Capital Contributions until the Class B Preferred Return has been paid current; then seventy percent (70%) to the Class A Members, as a group, pro rata based upon each Member’s relative Membership Interest, and the balance to the Class B Member. The Class B Member will only receive its share of Distributions from Net Operating Cash Flow only after the Class A Preferred Return has been paid current for any calendar year.

Section 10.2       Upon liquidation of the Company, distributions shall be remitted to the Members as follows: first to the Class A Members to the extent and in

proportion with their Invested Capital Contributions until the Class A Preferred Return has been paid current; second, to the Class B Members to the extent and in proportion with their Invested Capital Contributions until the Class B Preferred Return has been paid current; third; to the Class A Members until the aggregate amount distributed to such Members in accordance with this Section 10.2 is sufficient to provide for a return of such Members’ Capital Contributions by the Company; fourth, to the Class B Members until the aggregate amount distributed to such Members in accordance with this Section 10.2 is sufficient to provide for a return of such Members’ Capital Contributions by the Company; and, fifth and finally, seventy percent (70%) of profits to the Class A Members, as a group, pro rata based upon each Member’s relative Membership Interest; and the balance to the Class B Member.

Section 10.3       Form of Distributions.

10.3.1    No Member, regardless of the nature of the Member’s Capital Contribution, has any right to demand and receive any distribution from the Company in any form other than money. No Member may be compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in kind.

10.3.2    Without limiting the generality of Section 10.3.1, the Manager may, with the consent of the Member receiving the distribution, distribute specific property or assets of the Company to one or more Members.

Section 10.4   Restriction on Distributions.

10.4.1    No distribution shall be made if, after giving effect to the distribution:

(A)                   The Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or

(B)                   The Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the Company were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights of other Members, if any, upon dissolution that are superior to the rights of the Member receiving the distribution.

10.4.2        The Manager may base a determination that a distribution is not prohibited on any of the following:

(A)                   financial statements prepared based on accounting practices and principles that are reasonable in the circumstances;

(B)                   A fair valuation; or

(C)                   Any other method that is reasonable in the circumstances.

The effect of a distribution is to be measured as of the date the distribution is authorized if the payment is to occur within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of authorization, or the date payment is made if it is to occur more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of authorization.

Section 10.5       Return of Distributions. Members and Assignees who receive distributions made in violation of the Act or this Agreement shall return such distributions to the Company. Except for those distributions made in violation of the Act or this Agreement, no Member or Assignee shall be obligated to return any distribution to the Company or pay the amount of any distribution for the account of the Company or to any creditor of the Company. The amount of any distribution returned to the Company by a Member or Assignee or paid by a Member or Assignee for the account of the Company or to a creditor of the Company shall be added to the account or accounts from which it was subtracted when it was distributed to the Member or Assignee.

Section 10.6       Withholding from Distributions. To the extent the Company is required by law to withhold or to make tax or other payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member, the Company may withhold such amounts from any distribution and make such payments as so required. For purposes of this Agreement, any such payments or withholdings shall be treated as a distribution to the Member on behalf of whom the withholding or payment was made.

Section 10.7       754 Election. In the event of a distribution of property to a Member, the death of an individual Member or a transfer of any interest in the Company permitted under the Act or this Agreement, the Company may, in the discretion of the Manager upon the written request of the transferor or transferee, file a timely election under Section 754 of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder to adjust the basis of the Company’s assets under Section 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code and a corresponding election under the applicable provisions of state and local law, and the person making such request shall pay all costs incurred by the Company in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

Section 10.8       Minimum Distributions. If and to the extent that the Company is earning income which will result in the Members being subject to income tax on their distributive share of the Company’s income, minimum distributions shall be made to the Members in such amounts and at such times (but in no event later than March 31 each year) as shall be sufficient to enable the Members to meet United States income tax liability arising or incurred as a result of their participation in the Company. For the purposes of such distributions, it

shall be assumed that the Members are taxable at combined U.S. federal individual, state and local rates of forty percent (40%) on ordinary income and at a twenty percent (20%) rate on Net Capital Gains. Any such distribution shall be made on a nondiscriminatory basis to all Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. It is specifically recognized that in making a forty percent (40%) assumption regarding tax distributions on ordinary income and twenty percent (20%) on Net Capital Gains, some Members may receive a distribution that is in excess of their actual tax liabilities, and some Members may receive a distribution that is less.

The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of

the Company, and that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

Section 14.2       Indemnification: Proceeding by Company.

Indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

Section 14.3       Mandatory Indemnification.

Any indemnification under Sections 13.1 and 13.2, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to Section 13.5, may be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Manager, Member, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made by a majority of the Class B Members if the person seeking indemnity is not a Class B Member or by independent legal counsel selected by the Manager in a written opinion.

Section 14.5       Mandatory Advancement of Expenses. The expenses of the Manager, Members and officers incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding must be paid by the Company as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Manager, Member or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he

or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. The provisions of this Section 14.5 do not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which personnel of the Company other than Managers, Members or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise.

Section 14.6       Effect and Continuation. The indemnification and advancement of expenses authorized in or ordered by a court pursuant to Sections 14.1 – 14.5, inclusive:

14.6.1        Does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Formation or any limited liability company agreement, vote of Members or disinterested Managers, if any, or otherwise, for either an action in his or her official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding his or her office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 14.2 or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant to Section 14.5, may not be made to or on behalf of any Member, Manager or officer if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action.

14.6.2        Continues for a person who has ceased to be a Member, Manager, officer, employee or agent and inures to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators.

Any Manager of this Company is authorized to vote, represent and exercise on behalf of this Company all rights incident to any and all shares of any other company or companies, or any interests in any other Person, standing in the name of this Company. The authority herein granted to said Manager to vote or represent on behalf of this Company any and all shares held by this Company in any other company or companies, or any interests in any other Person, may be exercised by such Manager in person or by any other person authorized so to do by proxy or power of attorney duly executed by said Manager.

Section 19.5       Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

Section 19.6

Severability. If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held by a proper court to be unenforceable under applicable law, portions of such provisions, or such provisions in their entirety, to the extent necessary and permitted by law, shall be severed herefrom and the balance of this Agreement shall be enforced in accordance with its terms.

Section 19.7         Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to Michigan choice of law principles.

Section 19.8         Mandatory Mediation. The parties agree that any and all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation, and if the matter is not resolved through mediation, then it shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration pursuant to the clause set forth in SECTION 19.9 below. Either party may commence mediation by providing to JAMS and the other party a written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the relief requested. The parties will cooperate with JAMS and with one another in selecting a mediator from the JAMS panel of neutrals and in scheduling the mediation proceedings. The parties agree that they will participate in the mediation in good faith and that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the mediation by any of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the mediator or any JAMS employees, are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose, including impeachment, in any arbitration or other proceeding involving the parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result of its use in the mediation.

19.8.2           Either party may initiate arbitration with respect to the matters submitted to mediation by filing a written demand for arbitration at any time following the initial mediation session or at any time following 45 days from the date of filing the written request for mediation, whichever occurs first (“Earliest Initiation Date”). The mediation may continue after the commencement of arbitration if the parties so desire.

19.8.3           At no time prior to the Earliest Initiation Date shall either side initiate an arbitration or litigation related to this Agreement except to pursue a provisional remedy that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules or by agreement of the parties. All applicable statutes of limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time shall be tolled until 15 days after the Earliest Initiation Date. The parties will take such action, if any, required to effectuate such tolling.

Section 19.9         Arbitration. Any party to this Agreement may, at its sole election, require that the sole and exclusive forum and remedy for resolution of a

Claim be final and binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 19.9 (this “Arbitration Provision”). The arbitration shall be conducted in Wayne County, Michigan. As used in this Arbitration Provision, “Claim” shall include any past, present, or future claim, dispute, or controversy involving a Member (or persons claiming through or connected with a Member), on the one hand, and the Company or the Manager, on the other hand, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any subscription agreement or related documents, any Units, and/or the activities or relationships that involve, lead to, or result from any of the foregoing, including (except to the extent provided otherwise in the last sentence of sub-section 19.9.12 below) the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration Provision, any part thereof, or the entire Agreement. Claims are subject to arbitration regardless of whether they arise from contract; tort (intentional or otherwise); a constitution, statute, common law, or principles of equity; or otherwise. Claims include (without limitation) matters arising as initial claims, counter-claims, cross-claims, third-party claims, or otherwise. This Arbitration Provision does not apply to claims under the U.S. federal securities laws. However, this Arbitration Provision does apply to all non federal securities laws claims that that are related to the Company, including with respect the Company’s holdings (including the holdings of any subsidiary), the Units, the Company’s ongoing operations and the management of the Company’s investments, among other matters. The scope of this Arbitration Provision is to be given the broadest possible interpretation that is enforceable. The party initiating arbitration shall do so with JAMS (xxxxxxx.xxx). The arbitration shall be conducted according to, and the location of the arbitration shall be determined in accordance with, the rules and policies of the administrator selected, except to the extent the rules conflict with this Arbitration Provision or any countervailing law. In the case of a conflict between the rules and policies of the administrator and this Arbitration Provision, this Arbitration Provision shall control, subject to countervailing law, unless all parties to the arbitration consent to have the rules and policies of the administrator apply. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, requests for documents:

19.9.1       Shall be limited to documents which are directly relevant to significant issues in the case or to the case’s outcome;

19.9.2       Shall be restricted in terms of time frame, subject matter and persons or entities to which the requests pertain; and

19.9.3       Shall not include broad phraseology such as “all documents directly or indirectly related to.” (See JAMS Discovery Protocols; JAMS Arbitration Rule 16.2).

19.9.4       There shall be production of electronic documents only from sources used in the ordinary course of business. Absent a showing of compelling need, no such documents are required to be produced from backup servers, tapes or other media.

19.9.5 Absent a showing of compelling need, the production of electronic documents shall normally be made on the basis of generally available technology in a searchable format which is usable by the party receiving the e-documents and convenient and economical for the producing party. Absent a showing of compelling need, the parties need not produce metadata, with the exception of header fields for email correspondence.

19.9.6           The description of custodians from whom electronic documents may be collected shall be narrowly tailored to include only those individuals whose electronic documents may reasonably be expected to contain evidence that is material to the dispute.

19.9.7           Where the costs and burdens of e-discovery are disproportionate to the nature of the dispute or to the amount in controversy, or to the relevance of the materials requested, the arbitrator will either deny such requests or order disclosure on condition that the requesting party advance the reasonable cost of production to the other side, subject to the allocation of costs in the final award. (See JAMS Discovery Protocols; JAMS Arbitration Rule 16.2).

19.9.8           In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, there shall be no interrogatories or requests to admit.

19.9.9           If the Company elects arbitration, the Company shall pay the administrator’s filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If a Member elects arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the rules of the administrator selected, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the administrator’s rules. The Company shall pay the administrator’s hearing fees for one full day of arbitration hearings. Fees for hearings that exceed one day will be paid by the party requesting the hearing, unless the administrator’s rules or applicable law requires otherwise, or a Member requests that the Company pay them and the Company agrees to do so. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorney’s fees, except as otherwise provided by law. If a statute gives a Member the right to recover any of these fees, these statutory rights shall apply in the arbitration notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein.

19.9.10        Within 30 days of a final award by the arbitrator, a party may appeal the award for reconsideration by a three- arbitrator panel selected according to the rules of the arbitrator administrator. In the event of such an appeal, an opposing party may cross-appeal within 30 days after notice of the appeal. The panel will reconsider de novo all aspects of the initial award that are appealed. Costs and conduct of any appeal shall be governed by this Arbitration Provision and the administrator’s rules, in the same way as the initial arbitration proceeding. Any award by the individual arbitrator that is not subject to appeal, and any panel award on appeal, shall be final and binding, except for any appeal

right under the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”), and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.9.11        The Company agrees not to invoke the right to arbitrate an individual Claim that a Member may bring in Small Claims Court or an equivalent court, if any, so long as the Claim is pending only in that court. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO ARBITRATION SHALL PROCEED ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS (INCLUDING AS PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHERS), EVEN IF THE CLAIM OR CLAIMS THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THE ARBITRATION HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN ASSERTED (OR COULD HAVE BEEN ASSERTED) IN A COURT AS CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE ACTIONS IN A COURT.

19.9.12        Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, no party to the arbitration may join, consolidate, or otherwise bring claims for or on behalf of two or more individuals or unrelated corporate entities in the same arbitration unless those persons are parties to a single transaction. Unless consented to in writing by all parties to the arbitration, an award in arbitration shall determine the rights and obligations of the named parties only, and only with respect to the claims in arbitration, and shall not: (i) determine the rights, obligations, or interests of anyone other than a named party, or resolve any Claim of anyone other than a named party; or (ii) make an award for the benefit of, or against, anyone other than a named party. No administrator or arbitrator shall have the power or authority to waive, modify or fail to enforce this subsection 19.9.12 and any attempt to do so, whether by rule, policy, and arbitration decision or otherwise, shall be invalid and unenforceable. Any challenge to the validity of this subsection 19.9.12 shall be determined exclusively by a court and not by the administrator or any arbitrator.

19.9.13        This Arbitration Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce and shall be governed by and enforceable under the FAA. The arbitrator will apply substantive law consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations. The arbitrator may award damages or other types of relief permitted by applicable substantive law, subject to the limitations set forth in this Arbitration Provision. The arbitrator will not be bound by judicial rules of procedure and evidence that would apply in a court. The arbitrator shall take steps to reasonably protect confidential information.

19.9.14        This Arbitration Provision shall survive: (i) suspension, termination, revocation, closure or amendments to this Agreement and the relationship of the parties; (ii) the bankruptcy or insolvency of any party hereto or other party; and (iii) any transfer of any loan or Units or any amounts owed on such loans or notes, to any other party. If any portion of this Arbitration Provision other than subsection 19.9.12 is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions

of this Arbitration Provision shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If arbitration is brought on a class, representative or collective basis, and the limitations on such proceedings in sub-section 19.9.12 are finally adjudicated pursuant to the last sentence of sub-section 19.19.12 to be unenforceable, then no arbitration shall be had. In no event shall any invalidation be deemed to authorize an arbitrator to determine Claims or make awards beyond those authorized in this Arbitration Provision.

19.9.15        Each Member acknowledges, understands and agrees that: (a) arbitration is final and binding on the parties; (b) the parties are waiving their right to seek remedies in court, including the right to jury trial; (c) pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited than and potentially different in form and scope from court proceedings; (d) the final award by the arbitrator is not required to include factual findings or legal reasoning and any party’s right to appeal or to seek modification of a ruling by the arbitrators is strictly limited; and € the panel of arbitrators may include a minority of persons engaged in the securities industry.

19.9.16        BY AGREEING TO BE SUBJECT TO THE ARBITRATION PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, MEMBERS WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO WAIVE THE COMPANY’S COMPLIANCE WITH THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS AND THE RULES AND REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.

19.9.17        Waiver of Court & Jury Rights. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO LITIGATE CLAIMS THROUGH A COURT SOLELY BEFORE A JUDGE. THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE UNITS OR THE COMPANY, INCLUDING CLAIMS UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS.

Section 19.10        Payment of Legal Fees and Costs. In the event that a Member: (a) initiates or asserts any suit, legal action, claim, counterclaim or proceeding regarding, relating to or arising under this Agreement, the Units or the Company, including claims under the U.S. federal securities laws; and (b) does not, in a judgment on the merits, substantially achieve, in substance and amount, the full remedy sought or the equivalent is reached in settlement, then the Member shall be obligated to reimburse the Company and any parties indemnified by the Company for any and all fees, costs and expenses of every kind and description (including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorneys’ fees, the costs of investigating a claim and other litigation expenses) that the Company and any parties indemnified by the Company may incur in connection with such Claim.

Section 19.11        Choice of Venue. Any suit, legal action or proceeding involving any dispute or matter regarding, relating to or arising under this

Agreement shall be brought solely in the United States District Court for Genesee County, Michigan. All parties hereby consent to the exercise of personal jurisdiction, and waive all objections based on improper venue and/ or forum non conveniens, in connection with or in relation to any such suit, legal action or proceeding.

Section 19.12        Notices Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and shall be given by electronic communication, hand delivery, registered or certified mail, with proper postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or courier service regularly providing proof of delivery, addressed to the party hereto as provided as follows: communications intended for the Company shall be sent to Brookwood Xxxxxx Investments LLC at 00000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000 and all communications intended for a Member shall be sent to the address of such Member set forth in the records of the Company.

(B)                   if sent by registered or certified mail, on the tenth (10^th) Local Business Day after the date of mailing.

Section 19.13            Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

Section 19.14            Currency. Unless otherwise specified, all currency amounts in this Agreement refer to the lawful currency of the United States of America.

Section 19.15          Partition. Each Member irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain any action for partition with respect to any of the Company’s property.

Section 19.16            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become effective when there exist copies hereof which, when taken together, bear the authorized signatures of each of the parties hereto.
