CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

AND RELATED MATTERS

2.1    Capital Contributions of the Members.

(a) T-Asia shall contribute such cash to the capital of the Company as the Manager may determine from time to time to be necessary or appropriate, less any such cash that Xxxxxxxx chooses to contribute pursuant to Section 2.1(b) below.

(b) Xxxxxxxx is, on or about the date of this Agreement, contributing the sum of One Hundred US Dollars (US $100) to the capital of the Company. At any time the Manager determines that additional contributions from the Members are necessary or appropriate, Xxxxxxxx shall be permitted to make such additional contributions to the Company up to any amount as will reduce T-Asia's Preferred Capital to, and/or maintain T-Asia's Preferred Capital at, zero. Specifically, if Xxxxxxxx gives written notice, within the ten (10) day period ending the day before the first day of a month, that he desires to contribute some share of any capital that is contributed to the Company during such month (based on the Manager's determination that the contribution of such capital is necessary or appropriate), and the maximum amount of capital that he is willing to contribute to the Company during such month, then he shall be entitled (and required) to contribute such share of any capital contributed during such month, up to such maximum amount. In the absence of any such written notice, Xxxxxxxx shall be deemed to have elected not to contribute any share of any capital contributed during such month. Except as aforesaid, Xxxxxxxx shall not be required to make any additional contribution to the capital of the Company, although certain distributions otherwise to be made to Xxxxxxxx will be withheld by the Company until T-Asia's Preferred Capital has been reduced to zero, all in accordance with Sections 3.1 and 8.1 of this Agreement.

2.2    Capital Accounts. The parties acknowledge that, as a limited liability company with a single member, the Company has previously been classified, for U.S. income tax purposes, as an entity disregarded as separate from its owner but, on account of the admission of Xxxxxxxx to the Company, has become classified, for U.S. income tax purposes, as a partnership and, more particularly, the following is, by reason of Xxxxxxxx'x admission to the Company, deemed to have occurred (as set forth in IRS Revenue Ruling 99-5, 1999-1 C.B. 434, Situation 2): (i) Xxxxxxxx has contributed cash to such partnership in the amount of his contribution of cash to the capital of the Company as set forth in Section 2.1(b) hereof, and (ii) T-Asia is deemed to have contributed all of the Company's other assets, subject to the Company's liabilities, to such partnership. The Company shall maintain a separate capital account (the “Capital Account”) for each Member, which shall be (i) increased by the Member's capital contributions from and after the date of this Agreement (including, in the case of T-Asia, the contribution deemed made by T-Asia pursuant to the preceding sentence, the net agreed-upon value of which is equal to Nine Hundred US Dollars (US $900), the Member's share of any Profits of the Company, and any items of income or gain allocated to the Member under Section 3.2 below, and (ii) shall be decreased by distributions made to the Member, the Member's share of any Losses of the Company, and any items of expense or loss allocated to the Member under Section 3.2 below. Upon the happening of an event described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, the Manager may, in accordance with such Regulations, xxxx-to-market the Company's assets on the balance sheet as computed for book purposes, and adjust the Members' Capital Accounts as though the net adjustment to the values at which the assets are carried on such balance sheet were gain or loss allocable under Section 3.2. In accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q) of the Regulations, each Member's Capital Account shall be adjusted in a manner that maintains equality between the aggregate of all of the Members' Capital Accounts and the amount of capital reflected on the Company's balance sheet as computed for book purposes.

2.3 Loans. With the approval of the Manager, the Members may, in lieu of contributing additional cash to the capital of the Company pursuant to Section 2.1 above, advance or cause any of their affiliates to advance such cash to the Company as a loan. Any such loan shall be made on such terms as are mutually agreeable to the Manager and the Member (or affiliate of a Member) making such loan, provided that the interest charged on any such loan is at an arm's-length rate that meets U.S. transfer pricing rules.

2.4 Liability of Xxxxxxxx. Except as provided in Section 2.1(b) hereof with respect to Xxxxxxxx'x initial capital contribution to the Company of One Hundred US Dollars (US $100) and in Section 3.1 and Section 8.1 hereof with respect to certain distributions otherwise to be made to Xxxxxxxx that are withheld by the Company until T-Asia's Preferred Capital has been reduced to zero, Xxxxxxxx shall not be obligated to contribute capital to the Company, lend any funds to the Company, guaranty any Company debt, or incur any personal liability with respect to the Company.

ARTICLE III

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

3.1    Distributions.

(a) Distributions shall be made as, when and to the extent that the Manager determines that the Company's cash on hand exceeds the current and anticipated needs of the Company to fulfill its business purposes, including, without limitation, to service its debts and obligations to third parties, service its debts and obligations to the Members and their Affiliates as provided in this Agreement, and to maintain adequate capital and reserves for, by way of example and not limitation, working capital and reasonably foreseeable needs of the Company. Distributions shall be made in the following manner and order of priority:

(i) Distributions that do not represent a return of capital shall be made to the Members pro rata, based on their Sharing Percentages at the time of such distribution, provided, however, that if, at the time of such distribution, any Preferred Capital of T-Asia is outstanding, then eighty-five percent (85%) (or such greater percentage as Xxxxxxxx may specify) of the distribution otherwise to be made to Xxxxxxxx shall be withheld and treated as a contribution by him to the Company's capital until no Preferred Capital of T-Asia is outstanding (i.e., until T-Asia's Preferred Capital has been reduced to zero); and

(ii) Distributions that do represent a return of capital shall be made to the Members pro rata, based on their Sharing Percentages at the time of such distribution, provided, however, that if, at the time of such distribution, any Preferred Capital of T-Asia is outstanding, then eighty-five percent (85%) (or such greater percentage as Xxxxxxxx may specify) of the amount otherwise to be distributed to Xxxxxxxx shall be retained by the Company until distributions under this clause (ii) can be made to Xxxxxxxx without causing there to be (or to continue to be) any outstanding Preferred Capital of T-Asia.

For purposes of the foregoing, a distribution shall be deemed to represent a return of capital except to the extent that, following such distribution, the aggregate balance in the Members' Capital Accounts exceeds (i) the aggregate amount of the Members' cash and property contributions (including any amount treated as a contribution by Xxxxxxxx under the preceding provisions of this Section 3.1) over (ii) any prior distribution(s) deemed to be a return of capital under this sentence. For this purpose, the Members' Capital Accounts shall, if the Manager so elects, be determined by closing the Company's books and records immediately prior to such distribution.

An example of the foregoing is appended as Exhibit A.

(b) The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions to a Member, or with respect to allocations to a Member, and to pay over to a federal, state, local or foreign government, any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code, or any provisions of any other federal, state, local or foreign law. Any amounts so withheld shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member pursuant to this Article III for all purposes of this Agreement, and shall be offset against the amounts otherwise distributable to such Member. In the event the Company is required to withhold from or in respect of any income allocated but not currently distributed to Xxxxxxxx, the amount so withheld shall be treated as an interest-free loan from the Company to Xxxxxxxx, and shall be repaid from any and all distributions subsequently to be made to Xxxxxxxx, which the Company shall withhold and apply against the balance of such loan until such balance is reduced to zero.

(c) The Company shall have the right to set off, against any amount otherwise to be distributed to a Member, any amount owed by such Member to the Company (whether under another provision of this Agreement or otherwise) or to any affiliate of the Company.

(d) No distribution shall be declared or made if, after giving it effect, the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business or the Company's total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities.

3.2    Allocation of the Profits and Losses of the Company.

(a) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 3.2(b) below, the items of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the computation of Profit or Loss of the Company for each fiscal year of the Company shall be allocated between the Members in such proportions as will cause the Capital Account of each Member to equal, as nearly as possible, the amount such Member would receive if an amount equal to both Members' Capital Accounts (computed prior to the allocation of such Profit or Loss), increased by the amount of such Profit or reduced by the amount of such Loss, were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 8.1(a)(4); provided, however, that no Member shall be allocated any Loss to the extent such allocation would create or increase a deficit in such Member's Adjusted Capital Account.

(b) In the event any Member receives any distribution which creates or increases a deficit (negative balance) in such Member's Adjusted Capital Account, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible. This Section 3.2(b), and the proviso of Section 3.2(a), are intended to comply, and shall be interpreted consistently, with the "alternate test for economic effect" of Section 1.704-1(b)(ii)(2)(d) of the Regulations.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i)    "Adjusted Capital Account" means, with respect to any Member, such Member's Capital Account, reduced by those anticipated distributions described in Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations, and increased by the amount of any deficit in such Member's Capital Account that such Member is deemed obligated to restore under Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(c) of the Regulations.

(ii)    "Profit" and "Loss" each means, for each fiscal year of the Company or other period, the Company's profit or loss for Federal income tax purposes, adjusted as follows:

(A) add any tax-exempt income of the Company described in Section 705(a)(1)(B) of the Code;

(B) subtract any nondeductible expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code;

(C) if the value at which any property is carried on the Company's balance sheet as computed for book (capital accounting) purposes differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property (because such property is contributed (or deemed to have been contributed) to, rather than purchased by, the Company, or because the value of such property on such books is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations), then items of income, gain, loss or deduction attributable to the disposition of such property shall be computed by reference to its value on such books, and items of depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions with respect to such property shall be computed by reference to such value in accordance with Section 1.704‑1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Regulations, and

(D) any preceding provision of this Section 3.2(c)(ii) to the contrary notwithstanding, disregard any items of income, gain, expense, or loss specially allocated pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof.

(iii)"Regulations" means the permanent and temporary regulations of the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations).

(iv)All items set off in quotation marks and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Regulations.

3.3 Allocations Solely for Tax Purposes. Items of income, gain, deduction, loss, and credit for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated between the Members in the same proportions as the corresponding book items are allocated, but if there is a book/tax difference in the determination of any such items by reason of a Member's contribution (or deemed contribution) of property (including, without limitation, T-Asia's capital contribution deemed made pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof) having a value that varies from its adjusted tax basis, or by reason of any event on account of which assets are marked-to-market on the Company's book under the principles of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, then such difference shall be reconciled in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder using any permissible method selected by the Manager. Allocation pursuant to this Section 3.3 are solely for tax purposes, and shall not affect the Members' Capital Accounts.

3.4 No Deficit Capital Account Restoration Requirement. If the Capital Account of any Member has a deficit balance (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, and allocations for all taxable years), such Member shall not be obligated to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other person or entity for any purpose whatsoever.

5.2    Admission of Substitute Members.

In the event such termination of employment occurs on or prior to December 31, 2013, the redemption price for Xxxxxxxx'x entire Membership Interest shall be One US Dollar (US $1). In the case TAM terminates Xxxxxxxx'x employment for Good Cause on or after January 1, 2014 and on or prior to December 31, 2015, or Xxxxxxxx terminates his employment with TAM without Good Reason on or after January 1, 2014 and on or prior to May 31, 2015, then the redemption price (the “Value-Based Redemption Price”) for Xxxxxxxx'x entire Membership Interest shall be (x) fifty percent (50%) of the Liquidation Value (determined pursuant to Section 5.5(c) hereof) of his Membership Interest plus (y) a membership interest in each entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.5(e) hereof, in each case such payment constituting full payment for Xxxxxxxx'x entire Membership Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash portion of the Value-Based Redemption Price shall be reduced by any amount distributed to Xxxxxxxx after the date of delivery of the notice given to Xxxxxxxx pursuant to this Section 5.5(a). The cash portion of the Value-Based Redemption Price shall be payable according to the following schedule: (i) up to Five Million US Dollars (US $5,000,000) of the cash portion of the Value-Based Redemption Price shall be paid in cash at the closing, and (ii) any balance of the cash portion shall be paid with interest at an annual fixed rate equal to the most recent Preferred Return Rate, in three (3) equal installments on each succeeding anniversary of the closing of the purchase and redemption of Xxxxxxxx'x Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 5.5(a). The closing of the purchase and redemption pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) shall take place in accordance with the applicable procedures set forth in Section 5.5(f) hereof on a business day designated by the Company with at least seven (7) days' prior notice to Xxxxxxxx, but in the case of a purchase and redemption occasioned by a termination of employment during calendar years 2014 or 2015, not later than ninety (90) days after the delivery of the notice of redemption given pursuant to this Section 5.5(a) or, if later (and to the extent applicable), the business day which is (or is nearest to) ten (10) days after the date of the Appraiser's determination of the Liquidation Value in accordance with Section 5.5(c) hereof.

(b) In each of the following situations, namely (A) at any time after November 30, 2015 if Xxxxxxxx is no longer employed by TAM, or (B) if a Termination Event occurs on or prior to November 30, 2015, at any time after the expiration of six (6) months after the date on which the Termination Event occurs, Xxxxxxxx (or in the case of his death, his estate) shall have the right to require the Company, upon ninety (90) days' written notice, to purchase and redeem Xxxxxxxx'x entire Membership Interest for (x) an amount equal to the Liquidation Value (determined under Section 5.5(c) hereof) of his Membership Interest at such time plus (y) a membership interest in each entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset on the terms set forth in Section 5.5(e) hereof, provided that the cash portion of the redemption price shall be reduced by any amount distributed to Xxxxxxxx after the date of Xxxxxxxx'x notice given to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.5(b). The cash portion of the redemption price shall be payable according to the following schedule: (i) up to Ten Million US Dollars (US $10,000,000) of the cash portion of the redemption price shall be paid in cash

at the closing, and (ii) any balance of the cash portion shall be paid, with interest at an annual fixed rate equal to the most recent Preferred Return Rate, in three (3) equal installments on each succeeding anniversary of the closing of the purchase and redemption of Xxxxxxxx'x Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 5.5(b). The closing of the purchase and redemption of Xxxxxxxx'x Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 5.5(b) shall take place in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.5(f) hereof on a business day designated by the Company with at least seven (7) days' prior notice to Xxxxxxxx but not later than ninety (90) days after the date of delivery of Xxxxxxxx'x notice to the Company or, if later (and to the extent applicable), the business day which is (or is nearest to) ten (10) days after the date of the Appraiser's determination of the Liquidation Value in accordance with Section 5.5(c) hereof.

(c) For purposes of this Section 5.5 and Section 5.6 hereof, the liquidation value (the “Liquidation Value”) shall be such amount as Xxxxxxxx would have received on liquidation of the Company if the Company had liquidated all its assets, other than its Non-Stabilized Assets, at fair market value (exclusive of any value attributable to the name “Taubman”), net of the Company's liabilities, including any and all applicable taxes and the assumed costs of sale but not including liabilities, cost, and expenses allocable to the Non-Stabilized Assets, as of the date of the notice of redemption, and immediately distributed the proceeds of such liquidation in accordance with Section 8.1(a) hereof. In the event agreement cannot be reached by the parties as to the Liquidation Value within forty (40) days after the date of the redemption notice, then the Liquidation Value shall be determined by an appraiser (the “Appraiser”) mutually agreed by the Company and Xxxxxxxx. Failing agreement on an Appraiser within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the forty (40) day period, the Appraiser shall be an individual who is (i) a principal from one of the “Big Four” accounting firms and (ii) designated by the Secretary General of the HKIAC. In the event none of the “Big Four” accounting firms is willing to allow one of its principals to serve as the Appraiser, then the Liquidation Value shall be determined by the HKIAC. The Appraiser shall act as expert and not as arbitrator, and his decision as to the Liquidation Value shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive.

(d) At any time Xxxxxxxx is no longer employed on a full-time basis by TAM, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, by delivering written notice to Xxxxxxxx, to purchase and redeem Xxxxxxxx'x entire Membership Interest on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Section 5.5(b) hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise such right to purchase and redeem Xxxxxxxx'x Membership Interest during the Lock-Out Period. The redemption price shall be paid on the same schedule as set forth in Section 5.5(b) hereof, except that the annual installments shall be paid on the three (3) consecutive anniversaries of the closing of the purchase and redemption of Xxxxxxxx'x Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 5.5(d). The closing of the purchase and redemption pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) shall take place in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.5(f) hereof on a business day designated by the Company with at least seven (7) days' prior notice to Xxxxxxxx but not later than ninety (90) days after the date of delivery of the Company's notice to Xxxxxxxx pursuant to this Section 5.5(d) or, if later (and to the extent applicable) the business day which is (or nearest to) ten (10) days after the date of the Appraiser's determination of the Liquidation Value in accordance with Section 5.5(c) hereof. In the event the conditions of both Section 5.5(a) and this Section 5.5(d) are met, the Company shall have the absolute right to purchase and redeem Xxxxxxxx'x Membership Interest pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.5(a) hereof.

(e) In the event the Company purchases and redeems Xxxxxxxx'x Membership Interest pursuant to Section 5.5(b) or Section 5.5(d) hereof or pursuant to Section 5.5(a) hereof if the right to purchase and redeem arises during calendar year 2014 or 2015, the Company shall distribute to Xxxxxxxx a membership interest in each entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset. If the purchase and redemption occur pursuant to Section 5.5(b) or Section 5.5(d) hereof, each such membership interest shall have a sharing percentage equal to (w) ten percent (10%) until such time as the aggregate distributions to Xxxxxxxx from the Company (including the distribution of the Liquidation Value) and from each entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset

exceed Thirty Million US Dollars (US $30,000,000), and (x) after such time, five percent (5%), and if the right to purchase and redeem arises during calendar year 2014 or 2015 pursuant to Section 5.5(a) hereof, each such membership interest shall have a sharing percentage equal to (y) five percent (5%) until such time as the aggregate distributions to Xxxxxxxx from the Company (including the distribution of the Liquidation Value) and each entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset exceed Fifteen Million US Dollars (US $15,000,000), and after such time (z) two and one-half percent (2.5%) (each such applicable percentage set forth in this Section 5.5(e) being referred to as a “Non-Stabilized Percentage”); provided however, that the Non-Stabilized Percentage shall be subordinate to an aggregate distribution to T-Asia from the Company and/or each entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset of an amount equal to the sum of (x) T-Asia's Preferred Capital, plus (y) T-Asia's aggregate direct and indirect preferred capital (determined in the same manner as the Preferred Capital but without duplication) in the entities owning the Non-Stabilized Assets. The Company (or its affiliate) shall be the manager of each entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset, and Xxxxxxxx shall have neither the obligation nor the right to make any capital contributions or loans to any entity holding a Non-Stabilized Asset.

The closing of the purchase and redemption of Xxxxxxxx'x membership interest in such entity shall take place in accordance with the applicable procedures set forth in Section 5.5(f) hereof on a business day designated by the Company with at least seven (7) days' prior notice to Xxxxxxxx, but not later than ninety (90) days after the date of delivery of the Company's notice to Xxxxxxxx pursuant to this Section 5.6 or delivery of Xxxxxxxx'x notice to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.6, as the case may be, or, in each case if later (and to the extent applicable), the business day which is ten (10) days after the Appraiser's determination of the value of Xxxxxxxx'x interest in such entity.

5.7 Cooperation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.5 and Section 5.6 hereof, the Members agree to work together in good faith to implement the provisions of such sections and any transactions contemplated thereby in a manner that does not alter the economic arrangement among the Members and the Company, but that is tax efficient for the Members and the Company, taking into account the various jurisdictions that have taxing authority over the Members, the Company, and the Company's subsidiaries (current and to-be-formed).

5.8 Admission of Additional Members.

EXHIBIT A

Year One:

Assume that, on the first day of a year, T-Asia contributes $20 million, and Xxxxxxxx contributes $20,000, to the capital of the Company. Xxxxxxxx'x Sharing Percentage at the time is 10% and T-Asia's is 90%. The Preferred Capital of T-Asia is therefore $20 million minus ($20,000 x .9/.1), or $19,820,000.

During the year, the Company realizes no net income or loss. The Company borrows, however, $5 million and distributes the proceeds on the last day of the year. Because such distribution will reduce the aggregate amount of the Members' Capital Accounts below the aggregate amount of their capital contributions, such distribution is a return of capital. As such, the distribution is to be made 90% (or $4,500,000) to T-Asia and 10% (or $500,000) to Xxxxxxxx; however, of Xxxxxxxx'x $500,000, only 15%, or $75,000 is to be distributed, while the balance, or $425,000, is to be retained by the Company (assuming that Xxxxxxxx does not elect to have the Company retain a larger share). Accordingly, $75,000 is distributed to Xxxxxxxx, and $4,500,000 is distributed to T-Asia.

T-Asia's Preferred Capital is reduced to $17,580,600, which is $19,820,000 minus $4,500,000 plus ($75,000 x .9/.1) plus ($19,820,000 x .08, assuming that TRG's blended cost of capital for the year is 8%).

Year Two:

In the following year, the Company earns net income of $3 million. On the last day of the year, the Company distributes $4 million. The Members' Capital Accounts immediately before the distribution, taking into account the $3 million of net income, aggregate $18,445,000 (i.e., $20,020,000 of original capital, minus a $4,575,000 distribution, plus $3 million of income). The Members' contributions exceed prior returns of capital by $15,445,000. Therefore, of the $4 million distribution, an amount equal to the excess of $18,445,000 over $15,445,000, or $3,000,000, is considered a distribution of profit and the balance is considered a return of capital.

The $3 million distribution of profit is to be made $300,000 (which is 10%) to Xxxxxxxx and $2.7 million (which is 90%) to T-Asia, but 85% (assuming Xxxxxxxx does not specify a higher percentage) of the distribution to Xxxxxxxx, or $255,000, is to be withheld and treated as having been contributed by Xxxxxxxx to the Company's capital. Of the $1 million distribution representing a return of capital, 90% (or $900,000) is made to T-Asia and 10% (or $100,000) is to be made Xxxxxxxx; however, of Xxxxxxxx'x $100,000, only 15%, or $15,000 is to be distributed, while the balance, or $85,000, is to be retained by the Company (assuming that Xxxxxxxx does not elect to have the Company retain a larger share).

T-Asia's Preferred Capital is reduced to $15,927,048, which is $17,580,600 minus $900,000 minus ($255,000 x .9/.1) plus ($15,000 x .9/.1) plus ($17,580,600 x .08, assuming that TRG's blended cost of capital for the year is 8%).

Third Year:

On the last day of the succeeding year, the Company's assets are sold at a $4 million profit, yielding proceeds for distribution of $18,785,000. This amount is distributed first to T-Asia to the extent of T-Asia's Preferred Capital which, by the end of such year, would have grown to $15,927,048 x 1.08, or $17,201,212. The balance of $1,583,788 is distributed 90% to T-Asia and 10% to Xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxx therefore receives $158,379.

Following is a reconciliation:

Profits: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Total

$0 3,000,000 4,000,000 7,000,000

Preferred Returns 1,585,600 1,406,448 1,274,164 4,266,212

Returns on Capital $2,733,788

Total Distributions

to Xxxxxxxx $293,379

Distributions to

Xxxxxxxx by Year 75,000 60,000 158,379 293,379

If, in the third year, profit had been $304 million, then distributions in such year would have amounted to $318,785,000. In such case, the first $17,201,212 would have been distributed to T-Asia as Preferred Capital; the balance of $301,583,788 would have distributed 90% to T-Asia and 10% to Xxxxxxxx until total distributions to Xxxxxxxx amounted to $30 million, and then 95% to T-Asia and 5% to Xxxxxxxx. Xxxxxxxx would therefore have received $30,011,689 in the third year.
