2.1 Managing the Managed Residences; Matters of Concern; and Godo Kaisha Ownership
and Membership. 管理対象レジデンスの容認事項及び、合同会社の所有権と使用
権が付与された会員.

(a) The principal joint objective of the Acquiring Usage Owners under this
Agreement shall be the relaxed enjoyment of the Managed Residences. 本契約に基づく取得利用者
の主な共有目的は、管理対象レジデンスをゆったりと楽しむことである。 The Acquiring
Usage Owners appoint the Owner Representative as a manager in order to maintain the Managed
Residences in accordance with the Managed Residences Standards. The Owner Representative may
engage a Program Manager to perform the functions imposed on the Owner Representative on a day-
to-day basis. Upon accepting the Membership Interest, all Acquiring Usage Owners who are not an
Owner Representative acknowledge and agree that they shall not have any legal authority to bind Godo
Kaisha or to act for or on behalf of Godo Kaisha, unless may be otherwise agreed to from time to time.
Acquiring Usage Owners that are not the Owner Representative shall furthermore not have any control
over Godo Kaisha’s management, nor shall they participate in the management.

(b) The Acquiring Usage Owners enter into this Agreement to streamline the
running of Godo Kaisha to avoid instances where their input and/or action is needed, and the Program
has been designed to facilitate Acquiring Usage Owners not having to be involved in the decision-
making regarding the operation of the Managed Residences. 使用権取得者は、合同会社の運営を合
理化し、使用権者の意見を必要としないようにするために本契約を締結し、本プログラムは
使用権者が管理対象レジデンスの運営に関する意思決定に関与しないように設計されていま
す。Therefore, the Acquiring Usage Owners hereby expressly agree and acknowledge that their Class
A Membership Interest shall only have the voting rights in the operation of Godo Kaisha as set out in
this Agreement in relation to certain important matters (the “Matters of Concern”): (i) Routine
Matters; (ii) Important Matters; (iii) Major Matters; and (iv) Unanimous Matters. With the exception of
Section 2.5(b), Routine Matters may be decided by the Program Manager. Input may be sought by
either the Owner Representative or the Program Manager from the Contributing Owners on matters
that are not Matters of Concern, but neither shall be under any obligation to do so and the Contributing
Owner(s) shall not be under any obligation to act.

(c) Important Matters 重要事項 . There are seven (7) kinds of Important Matters.
For the approval of an Important Matter, the Consent of Six Interests shall be required. “Important
Matters” includes the following:

(i) approval of an increase in the Annual Owner Fee, where the Annual
Owner Fee is to exceed twenty percent (20%) over the Annual Owner Fee in effect for the prior year as
provided in Section 6.3 of this Agreement;

(ii) any proposal to enter into a contract with a third person or entity for
the provision of goods or services for the Managed Residences for a term longer than five (5) years,
with the exception of contracts for a term longer than five (5) years which are terminable by Program
Manager without cause, penalty or other obligation, upon ninety (90) days written notice of termination
to the other party;

Page 4 of 65
(iii) any proposal to incur an indebtedness exceeding twenty-five percent
(25%) of the Basic Expenses in the aggregate for a particular Fiscal Year on an unsecured basis;

(iv) any proposal to incur expenditures for capital improvements to the


Managed Residences in excess of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Basic Expenses in the aggregate for
a particular Fiscal Year;

(v) potential amendment of the Managed Residences Policies whereby


such amendment may have a material and adverse impact on any Owner;

(vi) except for Financing Loans, approval of a contract or transaction in


which any Owner has a material financial interest;

(vii) except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2.1(c), any
proposal to incur indebtedness from any affiliate of Program Manager or Owner Representative.

Without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement, incurring indebtedness pursuant to
Financing Loans secured by Financing Mortgages shall not be deemed to be an Important Matter.
Therefore, this may be negotiated and agreed to by the Program Manager on behalf of Godo Kaisha.
To that end, the Program Manager may execute the required documentation and instruments as may be
required to enter into a Financing Loan. If needed, the Program Manager shall be authorized to provide
the Financing Lender with a copy of this Section 2.1(c) as documentational evidence of the Program
Manager’s authority to act in accordance with this Section without further action being needed by Godo
Kaisha or the Owners.

(d) Major Matters. There are seven (7) kinds of Major Matters. For approval of a
Major Matter, the Consent of Seven Interests shall be required. “Important Matters” includes the
following:

(i) except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 2.1(d),


obtaining a Mortgage against the Managed Residences or the granting of a Security Interest in any of
the Furnishings;

(ii) the levying of a Special Assessment or Reconstruction Assessment,


whereby either one exceeds the percentage of Basic Expenses set forth in Sections 6.7(b) and 8.3 of
this Agreement;

(iii) the amendment of this Agreement under Section 9.1(b) of this


Agreement;

(iv) commencement of any legal, judicial or administrative proceedings


as provided in Section 10.6 of this Agreement (except with respect to Exempt Claims);

(vi) altering the Program in any material manner; and

(vii) subject to the limitations of Section 5.1(b), the removal of the existing

Page 5 of 65
Owner Representative as manager and appointing a replacement Owner Representative by the Owners.
However, if Residences Entities own two (2) or more Membership Interests, a decision may be taken
by simple majority of Membership Interests not owned by Residences Entities.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement, including Section 2.1(d)(i), the borrowing of
funds pursuant to Financing Loans secured by Financing Mortgages shall not be deemed to be Major
Matters and shall not require the Consent of Seven Interests and may be negotiated and agreed to by
the Program Manager on behalf of Godo Kaisha. Program Manager is hereby authorized and
empowered to execute any and all documents and instruments required to enter into a Financing Loan.
The Program Manager is authorized to provide any Financing Lender with a copy of this Section 2.1(d)
to certify to any such Financing Lender that Program Manager is so authorized without the need for
further action on behalf of Godo Kaisha or its Owners.

(e) Within this Agreement, “Unanimous Consent” shall mean the unanimous
consent of all Owners in Good Standing. This type of consent shall be required to approve any
proposal to terminate this Agreement and/or to sell or otherwise dispose of the Managed Residences,
except as the result of a Liquidating Event.

(f) Program Manager will manage and operate the Managed Residences, under
Owner Representative’s supervision. Most decisions regarding Matters of Concern may be made by
Program Manager.

(g) Neither the Acquiring Usage Owners nor the Contributing Owners shall have
any control whatsoever over the appointment of, removal or, or substitution of the Program Manager.

2.2 Godo Kaisha Ownership. The Membership Interests represent ownership of Godo
Kaisha. There are eight twelve Membership Interests, each assigned a Member Interest Number, which
will remain the same as long as the Membership Interest exists. The Membership Interests are recorded
in book-entry form, but no Owner may demand any certificates showing their Membership Interest be
produced. However, without limiting the foregoing, where necessary for Membership Interest
Financing or Property Acquisition Financing, the Owner Representative may determine it necessary
that such certificates representing Owners’ Membership Interest are produced.

2.3 Membership & Initial Ownership. Any interest in Godo Kaisha, owned by each Owner
respectively, shall be inseparable and appurtenant to that Owner’s ownership of the Membership
Interest(s). Each recorded Owner shall always own at least one (1) Membership Interest in Godo
Kaisha, and shall therefore remain a member and have an ownership interest in Godo Kaisha. Each
Owner shall have the rights, duties, and obligations as set forth in this Agreement and other Managed
Residence Documents, as may be amended from time to time, in accordance with their Membership
Interest. The Schedule of Owners reflects each individual holding either a Class A or Class B
Membership Interest as of the date of this Agreement (attached hereto as Schedule 1). Upon any
transfer (other than a collateral assignment that has not been foreclosed upon) of any Membership
Interest, the Schedule of Owners shall be updated. Any update of the Schedule of Owners shall not be
an amendment to this Agreement, nor require the consent of any Owner, except as indicated in this
Agreement. An updated version shall be provided to any Owner upon their reasonable request. Each
Owner admitted as a member of the Company on the Effective Date shall take all actions and make all
capital contributions as specified on Schedule 4 attached hereto, which is hereby made part of the
Agreement.

2.4 Voting. When deciding on a Matter of Concern, the following shall apply:

Page 6 of 65
(a) Number of Votes. Each Membership Interest shall carry one (1) vote.

(b) Routine Matters. If any matter to be determined is a Routine Matter, it may be


decided upon by Program Manager, or by action of the Owners upon Program Manager’s request
detailed in Section 2.5(b).

(c) Important Matters, Major Matters and Unanimous Matters . Important Matters,
Major Matters and Unanimous Matters will be voted upon by the Owners. The Program Manager will
organize a meeting and organize the vote as set out in Section 2.5. The required votes shall be as
follows:

(i) Important Matters shall require the Consent of Six Interests;

(ii) Major Matters shall require the Consent of Seven Interests; and

(iii) Unanimous Matters shall require Unanimous Consent.

(d) Joint Owners Disputes. If any Membership Interest is owned by more than one
(1) individual, the vote for that Membership Interest must be cast as a single vote. If the joint Owners
of a single Membership Interest are unable to agree on their vote, the right to vote shall be lost. If any
joint Owner issues a vote for the Membership Interest, it will be assumed this Owner was acting with
the consent of the other joint Owner(s) of that same Membership Interest. If multiple votes are cast
under the same Membership Interest, none of them shall count and all shall be void.

2.5 Owner Meetings and the Role of the Owner Representative.

(a) Meetings. The Owners are under no obligation to hold regular meeting.
However, when requested by either the Program Manager or two (2) or more Owners, the Owner shall
be required to hold a meeting. Meetings of Owners are held electronically via video conference, if all
Owners have electronic access to both audio and video at the time of the meeting. Program Manager
may set the time and date for the meeting and send out an invitation by Electronic Transmission to the
Owners, which invitation shall include access links, identification details, and passcodes. If Owners
wish to hold a meeting with regard to the Program and/or the Managed Residences, the Owner(s) shall
provide notice of that desire and the proposed subject matter, after which Program Manager will
coordinate the meeting. Family Members and/or legal representative may represent an Owner at any
meeting, holding a valid proxy signed by the Owner. Such signed proxies must be provided to Program
Manager not less than three (3) days prior to the date of the meeting. Program Manager will conduct
the meeting in a reasonable manner and shall determine a reasonable voting method, which may also
include written ballot or written consent by Owners. The vote of the requisite number of Owners will
determine the outcome of any Matter of Concern, provided that (i) the Owners are voting on that
Matter of Concern and (ii) the Matter of Concern requires more than a simple majority.

(b) Routine Matters. Program Manager will handle all Routine Matters. Program
Manager may request the advice and counsel of the Owners where needed by referring the Routine
Matter to the Owners for input obtained at a meeting. Program Manager shall give notice of the
meeting via Electronic Transmission, following the procedures for meetings in Section 2.5(a). Routine
Matters referred to the Owned shall be voted upon by simple majority vote.

2.6 Zoning Restrictions. Zoning Restrictions may prohibit time sharing and Transient
Rental Use. The way in this the Program has been designed is in a manner that attempts to

Page 7 of 65
ensure that enjoyment of the Managed Residences complies with the Zoning Restrictions. The
Acquiring Usage Owners acknowledge that shared ownership by multiple Acquiring Usage
Owners who are not Life Partners may invoke questions or time sharing. Therefore, by
accepting the Membership Interest, each Owner acknowledges and agrees:

(a) Time Sharing. It is strictly prohibited to engage in any actions that may
constitute time sharing of the Managed Residences and/or the Membership Interests. As such, no
Acquiring Usage Owner may divide ownership of Membership Interest, or any rights of use and
enjoyment related thereto, be transferred to or contributed into a time sharing program, vacation club,
destination club, private residence club, non-equity cub, or fractional ownership program, or any
similar program.

(b) Multiple Owners. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement, the Class A
Membership Interests may not be owned by multiple Persons if these Persons are not Life Partners.
Where Life Partners, at any point, cease to be Life Partners, they will have to determine which of the
two persons shall be the sole owner of the Class A Membership Interest. Nothing in this Section 2.6(b)
of this Agreement shall prohibit:

(i) ownership of a Membership Interest by a living trust, with the Life


Partners being the beneficiaries thereof;
(ii) ownership of a Membership Interest by Family Members after an
Owner’s death, provided that it is an individual Family Member acquiring the Class A Membership
Interest through the estate of the deceased Acquiring Usage Owner. If Family Members acquire the
Class A Membership Interest in such a way, they must appoint a Designated Owner for the purpose of
administering the rights of Family Members under the Managed Residence Documents. The
Designated Owner will be solely responsible for that Class A Membership Interest and the right
thereto; or

(iii) ownership of a Class A Membership Interest by a business entity,


provided that all shareholders, principals, limited liability company members, or partners are Life
Partners or Family Members of Life Partners, and further provided that the business entity appoints a
Designated Owner who shall be solely responsible for administration of the rights of the entity under
the Managed Residence Documents.

(c) Rental of Managed Residences by Owners. Each Acquiring Usage Owner


acknowledges and agrees upon acceptance of the Membership Interest, that the Managed Residences is
owned by Godo Kaisha and that the Program is for the personal use and enjoyment of the Managed
Residences, solely for the Owner, Owner’s Family Members, and Owner’s guests. Owners may
therefore not rent out the Managed Residences to any third parties, including Permitted Users or
Sponsored Guests, whether for Transient Rental Use or otherwise.

(d) Limitation of Unaccompanied Use. The Managed Residences Policies contain


provisions regarding restrictions on unaccompanied use by Sponsored Guests. The Program Manager is
entitled to enforce these Managed Residences Policies, taking into account the Zoning Restrictions in
effect, or any enforcement practices of the county in which the Managed Residences is located, even if
not specified in the Zoning Restrictions. The Sponsored Guests shall also abide by other provisions in
the Managed Residences Policies in relation to them.

ARTICLE III.
USAGE RIGHTS

Page 8 of 65
3.1 Use Rights. Each Class A Membership Interest shall provide the Acquiring Usage
Owner with certain usage rights in relation to eachone specific of the Managed Residence (the
“Dedicated Managed Residence”)s, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. During the
Acquiring Usage Owner’s Stays, they shall have the exclusive right to occupy that specific Dedicated
Managed Residence at that specific time.

(a) So long at the Acquiring Usage Owner is not currently in violation of the
renting out of the Managed Residences, for Transient Rental Use or otherwise, the Acquiring Usage

Sponsored Guests must at all times abide by the Managed Residence Policies, as published to the
Owner(s) from time to time.

(b) If any Acquiring Usage Owner is currently Delinquent in the payment of any
amounts due, the Acquiring Usage Owner may not make any reservations for the use or occupancy of
any of thetheir Dedicated Managed Residences.

3.2 Occupancy. None of the Owners shall have the right to claim ownership or exercise
any ownership rights with respect to the Managed Residences, unless specifically stated otherwise in
this Agreement.

(a) The Managed Residences shall, at all times during an Owner’s Stay, be kept in
first class condition and repair, in accordance with the Managed Residence Standard. Upon vacating
any Managed Residence, the Owner shall remove all persons and property affiliated with or belonging
to the Owner from the Managed Residence’s premises, and leave the Managed Residence in good and
sanitary condition. More generally, the Owner shall always abide by the Managed Residence Policies.

(b) When using any of the Managed Residences, the Owner shall compensate the
Program Manager for housekeeping and cleaning charges, to the extent not included as a Basic
Expense, as provided for by Section 5.2(e) of this Agreement, as well as other Personal Charges that
may accrue.

(c) As specified in the Managed Residence Policies, if the Owner permits any
other individual to use the Managed Residences during a stay, the Owner shall be fully responsible for
their actions and omissions, including any damages caused to the Managed Residence(s) and their
respective Furnishings, and any other losses that may arise.

3.3 Failure to Vacate. The Owner shall be required to vacate the Managed Residence upon
expiry of Owner’s Stay at that specific Managed Residence. Owner shall not occupy the Managed
Residences during any other time than a Stay. Owner also agrees as follows:

(a) A Detaining User may (i) be immediately removed from the Managed
Residence; (ii) to the maximum extent permitted, be deemed to have waived any requirement for notice
regarding such removal; (iii) be required to reimburse the Owners, Godo Kaisha, the Owner
Representative and the Detained User for costs and expenses incurred as a result of their conduct as set
out under this Section 3.3; be required to pay to the Detained User liquidated damages in a sum equal
to two hundred percent (200%) of the Fair Value per day the Detaining User prevents use and
occupancy of one or more of the Managed Residences, per Managed Residence, including the day of

Page 9 of 65
surrender.

(b) Determination of the Fair Value shall be at the sole discretion of the Program
Manager.

(c) Program Manager is entitled to use all reasonable efforts required to remove a
Detaining User from a Managed Residence as well as to find a Detained User in finding alternative
accommodations. The cost thereof shall be paid by the Detaining User as a Personal Charge.

(d) In the event that the Program Manager, in its sole discretion, deems it
necessary to contract for a period greater than the actual period for which the use is prevented in order
to secure alternate accommodations as set forth above, the cost of the entire period shall be assessed to
the Detaining User as a Personal Charge.

(e) Each Owner hereby agrees that it is difficult to determine damages resulting
from a Detaining User, and that the liquidated damages therefore constitute fair compensation given
the circumstances.

(f) Any act, omission or negligence of a Permitted User shall be deemed to be an


act, omission or negligence of the applicable Owner for the purpose of Section 3.3.

3.4 Use Restrictions. Without prejudice to, and subject to Section 2.6 and Article IV of
this Agreement:

(a) The Managed Residences shall be used in conformance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Managed Residence Policies that may be in effect from time to time.

(b) Any and all use of a Managed Residence will be residential and non-
commercial.

3.5 Transfer of Membership Interest.

(a) Membership Interest may not, voluntarily or by law, directly or indirectly, be


assigned, sold, transferred, gifted, pledged, mortgaged, exchanged, conveyed, encumbered,
hypothecated, or alienated (a “Transfer”), except in accordance with Section 2.6(a), Section 2.6(b),
Section 3.5, Section 7.3, Section 9.3, and Section 9.4. Membership Interest may not be transferred in
part, provided, however, that nothing shall restrict the manner in which title to Membership Interest is
held lawfully under State Laws. Any Transfer that results in the separation of the Membership Interest
from the Owner’s rights and obligations as Godo Kaisha member, or whereby not the full Membership
Interest is transferred, are null and void.

(b) Membership Interest may not be transferred, directly or indirectly, without the
Owner Representative’s express written consent, determined at Owner Representative’s sole discretion,
except where:

(i) a sale for cash is made to a Person who is permitted to become an


Owner pursuant to the Managed Residence Documents;

(ii) a Security Interest is granted in accordance with this Agreement;

Page 10 of 65
(iii) upon death of an Owner a Family Member or a trust or family limited
partnership or liability company Controlled by Owner formed for estate planning purposes, for the
benefit of the Owner or Owner’s Family Member(s); and

(iv) Transfer takes place to another Owner under to Section 9.3, or to a


direct or indirect owner of Membership Interest in existence on the date of Transfer.

(c) Transfer of Membership Interest will mean the transfer to the new owner the
interest to all funds already contributed and/or obligations already met by the Owner in respect to that
Membership Interest.

(d) Transferees shall only become a member of Godo Kaisha (a “Substitute


Owner”), nor acquire any usage rights to the Managed Residences, when the conditions of Section
9.4(b) have been met in full. When a new Owner is admitted as a member to Godo Kaisha in
accordance with this Section 3.5(d), the Owner assigning its Membership Interest shall have no further
duties, obligations, or liability from the effective date of assignment. All duties, obligations, and
liability shall be assumed by the Substitute Owner upon the effective date of assignment, including any
liability caused by the transferring Owner prior to the assignment of the Membership Interest.

(e) No Membership Interest shall be transferred where such Transfer would cause
Godo Kaisha to breach any agreement or instrument to which it is a party.

3.6 Separate Security Interests. A Security Interest in the Membership Interest is


subordinate to all of the Managed Residence Documents. When Membership Interest is sold under the
UCC, the Managed Residence Documents shall be equally binding on the Acquiring Usage Owner.
Nothing in this Agreement, nor an enforcement of any lien, shall impair, defeat, or render invalid the
priority of the lien of any Security Interest, provided that the Security Interest is considered to be a
Permitted Security Interest and has been perfected in accordance with the UCC.

3.7 Membership Attributes. This Agreement governs all rights regarding use and
enjoyment of the Managed Residences. If an Owner or other Person who obtains or acquires any right,
lien, or interest in one or more of the Managed Residences, they will not attempt to seek any judicial
partition of that Property or any sale of that Property.

3.8 Protection of Membership Interest. With exception of Section 3.5(b)(ii), it is not


permitted to allow the Membership Interest to become subject to a lien, claim or charge, whereby the
enforcement thereof might or would result in a threatened sale of Membership Interest of any other
Owner or interfere in the enjoyment of any other Owner. If a situation occurs where the sale of the one

Budget shall be allocated to Acquiring Usage Owners in the ratio of the Annual Owner Fees. However,
a reduction in Budget shall not entitle an Acquiring Usage Owner to any refund of Annual Owner
Fee(s) already paid, and reductions may be used to meet Basic Expenses for the subsequent Fiscal
Year. A reduction in Budget will not relieve an Acquiring Usage Owner from their obligation to pay an
Annual Owner Fee that is past due.

Owner. The Special Assessment will be paid in the same way as the Annual Owner Fee. Special
Assessments may not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Basic Expenses for the Fiscal Year and

an extraordinary expense required through court order, or to pay for an extraordinary expense for repair
or maintenance due to a threat to health or safety.

hereof. The Owner Representative reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deviate from Appendix

partners of such partnership, for Federal, state, and, if applicable, local income tax purposes.

6.14 Financing. Owners may make arrangements with an Initial Owner to obtain
Membership Interest Financing under a credit sale agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) executed by

Page 21 of 65
the Financing Owner and Initial Owner. This will cause a risk that any Owner may suffer a

perfect this Godo Kaisha Security Interest in whatever way needed. Godo Kaisha is authorized to
collect delinquent amounts owned by the Defaulting Owner, whereby the Defaulting Owner shall be
liable for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in relation to such collection. All sums payable
hereunder by a Defaulting Owner which become Delinquent shall bear interest at the rate of twelve
percent (12%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less, from the due date.
In addition, a late charge shall be due, which shall be the greater of (a) $50.00 or (b) ten percent (10%)
of the amount due for each payment which is Delinquent.

7.2 Certain Specific Enforcement Powers. Moreover, Godo Kaisha and the Program
Manager shall have the following rights and powers:

(a) Suspension of Privileges and Imposition of Monetary Penalties. Defaulting


Owners may be suspended from (i) occupying the Managed Residences, or (ii) voting on any matters,
if they remain in default for a period of 90 days after receiving written notice of their default. In

penalties. Notwithstanding the preceding, the Program Manager may immediately suspend the
occupancy rights of the Owner, without observing any notice period, if the Owner is behaving
dangerously, illegal, unlawfully, or in any other unauthorized manner.

(b) Program Manager Enforcement.

(i) Reasonable methods may be used at Program Manager’s discretion to


enforce any provision hereof and to compel Owners’ performance of their obligations, including, but
not limited to, any Delinquent Assessments or Personal Charges (collectively, “Delinquencies”).

(ii) Upon executing the Program Management Agreement, under the

Page 22 of 65
Program Manager Delinquency Coverage Amount (PMDCA) provisions, the Owner Representative
assigns Godo Kaisha Security Interest to the Program Manager. As a result, Program Manager shall be
required to pay any and all Delinquencies due if the Delinquent Owner has not paid within ninety (90)
days of notice. The Program Manager shall be reimbursed for the PMDCA from the proceeds of sale of
Membership Interest. The Management Fee received by Program Manager shall constitute fair and
reasonable compensation for the risk in covering the PMDCA. If the Program Manager does not pay
the PMDCA, the Owners shall either individually or collectively pay the amounts due, and Program
Manager shall reimburse the paying Owner(s), increased by a five percent (5%) penalty amount, and
Program Manager shall not receive its Management Fee until it has reimbursed the Owner(s).

(c) The Owner Representative or Manager may make a written demand for
payment to a Defaulting Owner, stating the date of the demand and the Delinquencies. If a
Delinquency is not paid or default not cured within thirty (30) days of delivery, the LLC Security
Interest may be foreclosed against the Membership Interest.

(d) At any Membership Interest sale held to enforce the LLC Security Interest, the
party who paid the Delinquencies or PMDCA may credit bid the same amount, moreover, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, the Membership Interest acquired at this sale may be purchased,
acquired, leased, held, mortgaged, and conveyed.

(e) If the Membership Interest of a Defaulting Owner is sold, the proceeds shall
be used to discharge UCC Sale Expenses, Delinquencies, Cure Penalties, Cure Amounts and/or
PMDCA and other expenses incurred by Owners who paid these costs. After satisfaction of such costs,
the Defaulting Owner shall receive the remainder of the proceeds, unless any Secured Party is entitled
to receive any funds. The proceeds repaid to the Defaulting Owner shall never exceed the Defaulting
Owner’s Membership Interest.

(f) Any purchaser at a sale as described in this Section shall obtain title to the
Membership Interest, free from the sums or performance claimed (except as stated in this Section
7.2(b)) but otherwise subject to the provisions of the Managed Residence Documents. The sale shall
not relieve any purchaser from the payment of Assessments thereafter coming due or from the LLC
Security Interest as provided for in Section 7.1 of this Agreement.

(g) When there are three (3) or more Defaulting Owners, and their respective
Membership Interests cannot be resold within sixty (60) days following the latest of the Final Default
Notices, this shall constitute a “Liquidating Event”. In this case, the Program Manager shall have to
give written notice (the “Managed Residences Sale Notice”) to those Owners who are not Defaulting
Owners, thereby informing them that the Managed Residences shall be sold, including all relevant
details of the sale. The Owners agree that if such Managed Residences Sale Notice is given, and no
Owner provides an NSM Offer Notice (as defined in Section 9.3), Program Manager shall have the
right to cause the Managed Residences to be sold.

7.3 Subordination to Certain Security Interests . No Transfer of any Membership Interest


will affect the LLC Security Interest, but the LLC Security Interest shall be subordinate to any
Permitted Security Interest in the event of a sale or transfer pursuant to a UCC sale.

ARTICLE VIII.
DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION, OR CONDEMNATION

Page 23 of 65
8.1 Damage or Destruction to Contents.

(a) If any of the Managed Residences, or part of any of them, is damaged other
than through ordinary wear and tear, whether through an insured or uninsured cause: (i) if such damage
or destruction can be repaired for less than $100,000.00, the Program Manager shall cause the repair or
restoration immediately; (ii) if such damage or destruction exceeds $100,000.00, the Consent of Five
Interests is needed to determine further steps. For the repair and restoration, the Program Manager must
obtain bids from at least two (2) or more contractors, to accept the most favorable one. Where a bid is
to be accepted, Godo Kaisha may levy a Reconstruction Assessment on all of the Acquiring Usage
Owners, in accordance with the method set forth below for the amount required to make up any
deficiencies between the total insurance proceeds and the contract price for the repair (the
“Reconstruction Shortfall”). The acceptance of the bid will be conditioned upon collection of the
Reconstruction Assessment, which shall be calculated and paid same as the Annual Owner Fee.
Alternatively, the Program Manager may borrow the necessary funds to pay the Reconstruction
Shortfall, which may, subject to the Consent of Seven Interests, require a Mortgage on the Managed
Residences. Each Owner hereby consents to this Section and the execution of relevant loan documents
by the Owner Representative, including any Mortgage.

(b) Where any damage or destruction was caused due to the intentional or
negligent act or failure of any Owner or Permitted User(s), the cost of the repair will be a Personal
Charge of the Owner, or the Owner whose Permitted User caused the damage or destruction. If damage
caused as described under this Section 8.1(a) is not covered by insurance, the Program Manager may
collect the cost from the Owner responsible. If insurance monies are offered, these must be applied to
the repair of the damage or destruction giving rise to them.

8.2 Emergency Repairs. If the damage to the Managed Residence(s) is so detrimental that
emergency repairs are needed, Program Manager may, upon its reasonable judgment, undertake such
repairs to protect persons and property from greater harm. Reserve Funds may be used for such
emergence repairs, subject to Section 5.2(a)(ii) regarding replacement thereof.

8.3 Extensive Damage or Destruction; Condemnation . If the Reconstruction Shortfall is


larger than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Basic Expenses of any Fiscal Year, the Consent of Six
Interests is needed to levy the Reconstruction Assessment. If no reconstruction shall take place as a
result, Godo Kaisha will commence dissolution of the Managed Residences and be terminated in
accordance with Section 9.2.

ARTICLE IX.

9.1 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended as set forth below:

and Exchange Commission or any similar agency and/or applicable law; (3) add to representations,
duties, or obligations of Godo Kaisha; (4) make changes required by a lender or an Owner for
financing its acquisition of Membership Interest; or (5) correct a clerical mistake or omission; and

(ii) the Agreement may not be amended if such amendment would be


detrimental to the commitment to maintain the Managed Residences in first-class condition, and in
accordance with the Program; or which would defeat any assessment procedures; or which would
result in Important Matters or Major Matters to be decided upon without the consent standard set out
herein.
(c) If amendment of this Agreement requires special action in accordance with
applicable law, this shall occur so, unless the legal provisions are less restrictive than this Agreement.

(d) All amendments, modifications, or rescissions of this Agreement must be in


compliance with applicable law.

(e) Amendments made in accordance with this Section are binding upon every
Owner and Membership Interest.

(f) Amendment of any provision requiring the Consent of Seven Owners or


Unanimous Consent, this amendment will also need the Consent of Seven Owners or Unanimous
Consent.

9.2 Dissolution and Termination; Sale of the Managed Residences.

(a) Upon any of the following events, Godo Kaisha will commence dissolution:

(i) The Owners’ Unanimous Consent therefor;

(ii) Program Manager’s decision after the occurrence of a Liquidating


Event;

(iii) Any Non-Restoration Event taking place; and

(iv) When so required under the Act.

(b) The Program Manager shall sell the Managed Residences for an amount as
high as possible in accordance with the fair market value, at Program Manager’s discretion, when
dissolution commences, and wind up Godo Kaisha pursuant to Section 9.2(c).
(c) The sale of the Managed Residences and the windup of Godo Kaisha shall take
place as follows:

(i) The Managed Residences shall be listed either by the Program


Manager or a real estate agent. The Owner Representative may execute the listing agreement on behalf
of Godo Kaisha, and Program Manager shall execute the listing agreement as the broker of the seller.
Any terms in the listing agreement must be usual and customary. Where appropriate, the Program
Manager or the real estate agent may act as both seller’s and buyer’s broker.

Page 25 of 65
(ii) The Managed Residences may only be sold under a purchase and sale
agreement, of which the terms must be approved by Owner Representative, and providing for:

(1) Services of an escrow company are to be used by Godo


Kaisha. The escrow company must be licensed and in good standing with the California Department of
Commerce and Consumer Affairs in connection with the administration and closing of any sales
transaction.

(2) Net proceeds from the sale of the Managed Residences and
other costs associated therewith are distributed to Godo Kaisha at the close of escrow.

required documents required. Proceeds resulting from the sale will be distributed in the following
order:

Owners or Affiliates of Owners;

(ii) Owners or Affiliate of Owners that are Godo Kaisha’s creditors (if
any);

(iii) To reserves for Godo Kaisha’s not yet accrued or contingent


liabilities, to be determined by the Program Manager and Owner Representative;

(iv) To the Owners, with regard to:

(1) any unreimbursed PMDCA must be reimbursed to Program


Manager prior to reimbursements to Owners;

the Delinquent amount will be deducted from the proceeds the Owner is
entitled to and divided among the other Owners pro rated based on
Membership Interests.

(e) If Godo Kaisha’s affairs are wound up, the Owner Representative will file a
certificate of cancellation of the Articles of Organization with the Secretary of State.

(f) No Person shall voluntary take any action causing the dissolution or
liquidation of Godo Kaisha. This Agreement is considered to be fair and equitable with regard to
liquidation of Membership Interests. Therefore, except where the Program Manager or Owner
Representative has failed to liquidate Godo Kaisha, each Owner hereby waives and renounces their
legal right to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate Godo Kaisha or to seek a decree
of judicial dissolution of Godo Kaisha.

highest bid shall be deemed to be successful (the “Buying Owner”), and Program Manager shall
inform the Bidding Owners thereof. The closing of the sale shall be within 30 days of the Auction
Period expiring.

(c) Effect of Failure to Make an NSM Offer or Breach by Buying Owner . If no


NSM Offer Notice is delivered, or if the Buying Owner defaults, the Selling Owner may sell the

Offer Notice. The purchase price under such contract may not be less than ninety percent (90%) of the
purchase price in the Offer Notice.

(d) Binding Contract. A binding contract is formed between the Selling Owner
and Buying Owner to purchase Membership Interest, pursuant to the terms of the Offer Notice.

(e) In General. This Section 9.3 will not apply to Transfers of Membership
Interest under Section 3.5(b)(ii) or Section 3.5(b)(iv), or a Transfer by a Contributing Owner under

if the Membership Interest has not been sold.

sale agreement for the sale of Membership Interest, with approval of the Owner. The purchase and sale
agreement will include at least the following:

ACQUIRING OWNER REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES;


INDEMNIFICATION

Representation and Warranties

Each Acquiring Usage Owner makes the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this
Schedule 6 as of the date such Owner acquires its Membership Interest. These representations and
warranties will survive the acquisition of the Membership Interest(s) and are deemed to be re-made
whenever the Owner pays any Assessment or makes any Capital Contribution.

1. Power and Authority; No Conflicts. Where the Owner is a corporation, trust, partnership, Godo
Kaisha, or other organization, it hereby warrants and represents: (a) it is duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) it has the
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement; and (c) the person signing this Agreement on
behalf of the Owner has been duly authorized to execute this Agreement.

If the Owner is an individual, he or she hereby warrants and represents: (a) that the
execution, delivery and performance by the Owner of this Agreement and the Owner’s
performance of its obligations under this Agreement are within the Owner’s legal right,
power and capacity and require no action by or in respect of, or filing with, any
governmental body, agency, or official; (b) the execution and delivery by the Owner of this
Agreement does not violate, or conflict with, the terms of any agreement or instrument to
which the Owner is a party; (c) this will be a valid and legally binding agreement
enforceable against the Owner, except where limited in accordance with applicable law; (d)
all necessary consents, approvals and authorizations of governmental authorities and other
persons are obtained as required in connection with its execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the performance of his, her, or its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

2. No View to Tax Benefits. Acquisition of the Membership Interest shall under no circumstances
be with the intend of obtaining any tax benefits, and Owner confirms by accepting this
Agreement that no representations have been made to the contrary. The tax consequences related
to the Membership Interest depend on Owner's circumstances, which shall be solely the Owner’s
responsibility and liability. Upon execution of this Agreement, Owner furthermore acknowledges
there is no guarantee or assurance that the Code or Income Tax Regulations are not going to be
amended in the future, thereby affecting the tax consequences for Owners, nor that some of the
deductions claimed by Godo Kaisha or the allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction,
or credit among the Owners may not be challenged by the Internal Revenue Service. By entering
into this Agreement, the Owner confirms to have consulted an accountant or tax advisor as
relates to Owner’s decision to acquire the Membership Interest.

3. Publicly Traded Company. The following representations are intended to support Godo Kaisha’s
qualification as a “safe harbor” under Income Tax Regulations, in relation to the treatment of
Godo Kaisha as an entity subject to corporate income tax: (a) The Owner is not a partnership,
grantor trust, or Subchapter S corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, or (b)
the Owner is a partnership, grantor trust or Subchapter S corporation for United States federal
income tax purposes, but (A) less than 65% of the value of any beneficial owner’s direct or
indirect interest in the Owner is attributable to the Owner’s interests in Godo Kaisha and
the Owner will inform the Owner Representative and the Program Manager, in writing, if at
any time during the term of Godo Kaisha 65% or more of the value of any beneficial owner’s
direct or indirect interests in the Owner is attributable to the Owner’s interest in Godo Kaisha,
(B) less than 65% of the value of the Owner is attributable to the Owner’s interests in Godo
Kaisha, and (C) permitting Godo Kaisha to satisfy the 100-partner limitation set forth in
Section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations is not a principal purpose of any
beneficial owner of the Owner in investing in Godo Kaisha through the Owner.

Where the Owner cannot make either of these representations under this Clause 3, the Owner
hereby agrees to provide evidence, to be satisfactory at the Owner Representative’s and/or
Program Manager’s discretion, relating to the status of Godo Kaisha under Section 7704 of the
Code. If the Owner is no longer able to make such representations after acquisition of the
Membership Interest, Owner will notify the Owner Representative and Program Manager in
writing.

4. Co-Ownership. The holding of the Membership Interest shall at all times comply with Section
2.6(b).

5. Withholding Forms. The Owner shall provide in a timely manner a properly completed United
States Internal Revenue Service Tax Form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, W-8EXP or W-8ECI (each, a
foreign person certificate) or W-9 (a U.S. person certificate), as appropriate. Upon Owner
Representative’s or Program Manager’s request, Owner will assist the Owner Representative or
Program Manager with their maintenance of records and provide for withholding amounts. In the
event that the Owner fails to provide such details regarding United States tax withholding, no

Appendix A:

Tax Appendix

ARTICLE I CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

Section 1.1 Maintenance of Capital Accounts; General Rules. A separate Book Capital
Account shall be maintained for each Owner in accordance with the provisions of this Article I.

Section 1.2 Book Capital Accounts. A Book Capital Account for each Owner shall be
maintained at all times during the term of the LLC in accordance with this Section 1.2 and the
capital accounting rules set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Income Tax Regulations.
Subject to Section 6.7 of this Appendix, the Owner Representative shall cause there to be made all
adjustments required by said Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), including the adjustments contained in
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Income Tax Regulations (relating to Section 704(c) Property).
In the event that at any time during the term of the LLC it shall be determined that the Book Capital
Accounts shall not have been maintained as required by this Section 1.2, then said accounts shall be
retroactively adjusted so that the same shall conform to this Section 1.2.

A. Initial Book Basis of Property of the LLC. The Book Basis of an item of
property of the LLC shall be the adjusted basis of such item as reflected in the books of the
LLC, determined and maintained in accordance with the capital accounting rules contained
in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Income Tax Regulations. Upon request of the LLC,
each Owner agrees to provide the LLC information regarding its adjusted basis in any item
of property of the LLC that such Owner has contributed, along with documentation
substantiating such amount.

B. Initial Book Capital Accounts. The initial Book Capital Account of an


Owner as of the date of the Agreement shall be equal to the amount theretofore or
concurrently contributed by such Owner in each case in accordance with Section 2.3 and
Schedule 4 of the Agreement, taking into account Section 2.10A of this Appendix.

C. Optional Revaluations of Property of the LLC . The LLC will not make the
election to revalue property of the LLC permitted under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the
Income Tax Regulations except as determined by the Owner Representative.

D. Determination of Book Items. Consistent with the provisions of Section


1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations: (1) Book Depreciation for each
item of property of the LLC shall be the amount that bears the same relationship to the
Adjusted Book Basis of such item of property of the LLC as the Tax Depreciation with
respect to such item of property of the LLC for such year bears to the “adjusted basis”
(within the meaning of Section 1011(a) of the Code) of such item of property of the LLC
(except as may be required by Section 1.704- 3(d)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations
(relating to the use of the “remedial allocation method” with respect to an item of property
of the LLC)); and (2) Book Gain or Loss shall be the gain or loss recognized by the LLC
from the sale or other disposition of property of the LLC (such Book Gain or Loss
determined by reference to the Adjusted Book Basis, and not the adjusted tax basis, of such
property to the LLC). If an item of property of the LLC shall have an “adjusted basis” (as
defined in the preceding sentence) equal to zero, Book Depreciation shall be determined
under a reasonable method, which method shall be selected by the Owner Representative.

E. Book Adjustments on Distributions. With respect to all distributions of


property of the LLC to the Owners, the LLC shall comply with the provisions contained in
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) of the Income Tax Regulations (relating to adjustments to the
Owners’ Book Capital Accounts in connection with such distributions) and all allocations
and adjustments made in connection therewith shall be in accordance with Article II of this
Appendix.

F. Purpose of Book Capital Accounts. Book Capital Accounts shall not


govern distributions by the LLC to the Owners, it being the understanding that Book
Capital Accounts shall be maintained solely to assist the LLC in allocating items of
income, gain, loss, deduction and credit among the Owners for Federal and applicable state
income tax purposes. The provisions of this Appendix are intended to effect an allocation
of tax items of the LLC that are in accordance with the Owners’ “interests in the
partnership” (i.e., the LLC) within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax
Regulations by utilizing the principles of allocation contained in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)
of the Income Tax Regulations and Section 1.704-2 of the Income Tax Regulations with
respect to maintenance of capital accounts and allocations, and shall be interpreted and
applied accordingly. For purposes of applying the provisions of this Appendix, it shall be
assumed that the LLC satisfies the requirements of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) and (3)
of the Income Tax Regulations, notwithstanding that the LLC does not satisfy such
requirements.

ARTICLE II
ALLOCATION OF INCOME,
LOSSES AND DEDUCTIONS FOR
BOOK AND TAX PURPOSES

Profits and Losses. The Profits or Losses of the LLC, as the case may be, for each Taxable
Year shall be allocated to the Owners in the following order and priority.

A. Profits for each Taxable Year shall be allocated among the Owners as
necessary to cause each Owner’s Modified Book Capital Account balance as of the end of
such Taxable Year to equal as nearly as possible such Owner’s Target Capital Account.

B. Losses for each Taxable Year shall be allocated among the Owners as
necessary to cause each Owner’s Modified Book Capital Account balance as of the end of
such Taxable Year to equal as nearly as possible such Owner’s Target Capital Account.

C. For each Taxable Year, if after the application of Section 2.1A or 2.1B
there shall remain any Profits or Losses to allocate, then such Profits or Losses (as the case
may be) shall be allocated to the Owners in proportion to their then respective Membership
Interests.

Section 2.2 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.3 Tax Allocations.

A. Allocation of Tax Depreciation. Except to the extent required by Section


704(c) of the Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder, Tax Depreciation for the
Taxable Year of the LLC shall be allocated to the Owners in the same manner that Book
Depreciation shall have been allocated to the Owners pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.4 or 2.7 of
this Appendix.

B. Tax Gain or Loss. The Tax Gain or Loss for each Taxable Year of the
LLC shall be allocated to the Owners as provided in this Section 2.3B. Tax Gain or Loss
for purposes of this Section shall be calculated (1) without including any income from
interest on any deferred portion of the sale price and (2) without including in the tax basis
of the property of the LLC any remaining special basis adjustment to property of the LLC
under Section 732(d) or 743 of the Code except to the extent that such special basis
adjustment is allocated to the common basis of property of the LLC under Section 1.734-
2(b)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations. The Owners agree that the tax effects of any
special basis adjustment that is not included in the calculation of Tax Gain or Loss in
accordance with clause (2) of the preceding sentence shall be separately reflected in
calculating the Tax Gain or Loss of the Owner or Owners to whom such special basis
adjustment relates.

(1) In General. In the case of Section 704(c) Property, Tax Gain or


Loss (as the case may be) shall be allocated in accordance with the requirements of
Section 704(c) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder and such
other provisions of the Code as govern the treatment of Section 704(c) Property, as
determined by the Owner Representative. Any gain or loss in excess of the amount
allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence (or, in the case of property which is
not Section 704(c) Property, all Tax Gain or Loss) shall be allocated among all the
Owners in the same ratio that the Book Gain or Loss with respect to such property
is allocated in accordance with this Article II; provided, however, in the event that
there is no Book Gain or Loss, then any Tax Gain or Loss in excess of the amount
allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the Owners
in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations.

(2) Recapture Income. If, in the event of a gain on any sale, exchange
or other disposition of property of the LLC, all or a portion of such gain is
characterized as Recapture, then the Recapture shall be allocated between or
among the Owners in the same ratio that Tax Depreciation allowable with respect
to such property of the LLC had been allocated between or among them; provided,
however, that under no circumstances shall there be allocated to any Owner
Recapture in excess of the gain allocated to such Owner under subsection B of this
Section above (and such excess shall be allocated instead between or among the
Owners as to which this proviso does not apply, in proportion to the gain allocated
between or among them).

(3) Other Items Relating to Section 704(c) Property. Any item of


income, gain, loss or deduction relating to an item of Section 704(c) Property shall
be allocated in accordance with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and
the Income Tax Regulations thereunder and such other provisions of the Code as
govern the treatment of Section 704(c) Property and the related book item shall be
allocated in a manner consistent with the Income Tax Regulations promulgated
under Section 704(b) of the Code, such method determined by the Owner
Representative.

(4) Other Items Unrelated to Section 704(c) Property . For the


avoidance of doubt, income, gain, deduction and loss as determined for Federal
income tax purposes and not otherwise allocated pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall
be allocated in the same manner in which the corresponding item of income, gain,
deduction and loss is allocated pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 2.4 of this Appendix.

Section 2.4 Exceptions.

A. Limitations.
(1) General Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article II, no allocation shall be made to an Owner which would
cause such Owner to have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Book Capital Account
which exceeds the sum of such Owner’s share of Company Minimum Gain and
such Owner’s share of Owner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (plus other
amounts that such Owner is actually obligated to restore, if any). If the limitation
contained in the preceding sentence would apply to cause an item of loss or
deduction to be unavailable for allocation to any Owner, then such item of loss or
deduction shall be allocated to the Owner(s) who will not be subject to this
limitation to the extent possible until such Owner(s) become subject to this
limitation. Any remaining amount of loss or deduction shall be allocated between
or among the Owners in accordance with the Owners’ respective interests in the
LLC within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations.

(2) Owner Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the


contrary contained in this Article II, any and all Owner Nonrecourse Deductions
that are (in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 1.704-2(i)(2) of the
Income Tax Regulations) attributable to Owner Nonrecourse Debt shall be
allocated to the Owner that bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Owner
Nonrecourse Debt. If more than one Owner bears such Economic Risk of Loss,
such Owner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated between or among such
Owners in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of
Loss. If more than one Owner bears such Economic Risk of Loss for different
portions of an Owner Nonrecourse Debt, each such portion shall be treated as a
separate Owner Nonrecourse Debt. This Section 2.4A(2) is intended to comply
with the provisions of Section 1.704-2(i) of the Income Tax Regulations and shall
be interpreted consistently with such provisions.

B. Minimum Gain Chargebacks.


(1) Company Minimum Gain. Except to the extent provided in
Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5) of the Income Tax Regulations, if there is,
for any Taxable Year of the LLC, a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain,
there shall be allocated to each Owner items of income and gain for such year (and,
if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to such Owner’s share of the net decrease
in Company Minimum Gain. An Owner’s share of the net decrease in Company
Minimum Gain is the amount of such total net decrease multiplied by the Owner’s
percentage share of the LLC’s Company Minimum Gain at the end of the
immediately preceding Taxable Year, determined in accordance with Section
1.704-2(g)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations. Items of income and gain to be
allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4B(1) shall, in
accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(6) of the Income Tax Regulations and Section
1.704-2(j)(2)(i) of the Income Tax Regulations, consist first of gains recognized
from the disposition of items of property of the LLC subject to one or more
Nonrecourse Liabilities of the LLC and income from the discharge of indebtedness
relating to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the LLC to which property of
the LLC is subject, and then of a pro rata portion of the other items of LLC income
and gain for that year. This Section 2.4B(1) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirement contained in Section 1.704-2(f) of the
Income Tax Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently with such provision.

(2) Owner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Except to the


extent provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations, if there
is, for any Taxable Year of the LLC, a net decrease in Owner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain, there shall be allocated to each Owner that has a share of Owner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such Taxable Year before
any other allocation pursuant to this Article II (other than an allocation required
pursuant to Section 2.4B(1) of this Appendix) is made under Section 704(b) of the
Code of LLC items for such Taxable Year, items of income and gain for such year
(and, if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to such Owner’s share of the net
decrease in the Owner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. The determination of an
Owner’s share of the net decrease in Owner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain
shall be made in a manner consistent with the principles contained in Section
1.704-2(g)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations. The determination of which items of
income and gain to be allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section 2.4B(2) shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the principles
contained in Section 1.704-2(f)(6) of the Income
Tax Regulations and Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations. This
Section 2.4B(2) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
requirement contained in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations and
shall be interpreted consistently with such provision.

Section 2.5 Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Appendix, in the event any Owner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or
distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) of the Income Tax Regulations,
there shall be specially allocated to such Owner such items of LLC income and gain, at such times
and in such amounts as will eliminate as quickly as possible the deficit balance (if any) in its Book
Capital Account (in excess of the sum of such Owner’s share of Company Minimum Gain and such
Owner’s share of Owner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain plus any other amounts that such
Owner is actually obligated to restore, if any) created by such adjustments, allocations or
distributions. This Section 2.5 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 consistently
with such provision.

Section 2.6 Owners’ Interests in LLC Profits for Purposes of Section 752.
As permitted by Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations, the Owners hereby
specify that solely for purposes of determining their respective shares of excess Nonrecourse
Liabilities of the LLC, the Owners’ respective shares of LLC profits shall be in proportion to their
then respective Membership Interests.

Section 2.7 Special Allocation of Items of Nonrecourse Deductions. For each Taxable
Year of the LLC, before any allocations of Profits or Losses shall be made to the Owners pursuant
to Section 2.1, Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Owners pro rata in
accordance with their then respective Membership Interests.
Section 2.8 Curative Allocations. The Regulatory Allocations are intended to comply
with certain requirements of the Income Tax Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith. The Regulatory Allocations may effect results which would be inconsistent with the
allocations set forth in Section 2.1 above. It is the intent of the Owners that, to the extent possible,
all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset by other Regulatory Allocations or special allocations of
other items of income, gain, loss and deduction pursuant to this Section 2.8. The Owner
Representative (based on the advice of the LLC’s accountants or tax counsel) shall make
appropriate special curative allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deduction so that, after
such offsetting allocations shall have been made, each Owner’s Book Capital Account balance is,
to the extent possible, equal to the Book Capital Account balance such Owner would have had if
the distortions resulting from any required Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. In exercising
discretion under this Section 2.8, the Owner Representative shall take into account future
Regulatory Allocations under Sections 2.4B and 2.5 of this Appendix that, although not yet made,
are likely to offset other allocations previously made under Sections 2.4A(2), 2.5 and 2.7 of this
Appendix.
Section 2.9 LLC Tax Elections. Except as provided in this Appendix, the Owner
Representative shall make all tax elections for the LLC provided for under the Code and relevant
provisions of state and local income tax law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the written
request of any Owner, the Owner Representative shall, at the time and in the manner provided in
Section 1.754-1(b) of the Income Tax Regulations, cause the LLC to make the election under
Section 754 of the Code. In the event the LLC has in effect an election under Section 754 of the
Code, allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction to affected Owners for federal, state and local
tax purposes will take into account the effect of such election pursuant to applicable provisions of
the Code.

Section 2.10 Income Tax Treatment of Certain Transactions. Notwithstanding anything


contained to the contrary in the Agreement, the Owners and the Company agree that for relevant
Federal and state income tax purposes, the following transactions shall be treated in the following
manner:
A. Treatment of the Contribution or Sale of the Property Pursuant to Schedule 4.

1) In the event there is no Contributing Owner, any amount paid by the LLC to the Seller
pursuant to Schedule 4 of the Agreement shall only be treated as a “distribution”
within the meaning of Section 731 of the Code.

2) In the event there is a Contributing Owner:

a. Sale Portion of the Property. Any amount paid by the LLC to the Contributing
Owner pursuant to Schedule 4 of the Agreement shall only be treated as a
“distribution” within the meaning of Section 731 of the Code as and to the
extent that the amount paid to the Contributing Owner pursuant to Schedule 4
of the Agreement constitutes a “reimbursement of preformation expenditures”
within the meaning of Section 1.707-4(d) of the Income Tax Regulations and
such amount shall be treated as a “distribution” to the Contributing Owner for
all relevant Federal and state income tax purposes. As and to the extent that
the amount paid pursuant to Schedule 4 of the Agreement does not constitute
a “reimbursement of preformation expenditures” within the meaning of
Section 1.707-4(d) of the Income Tax Regulations, such amount shall be
treated as a part of a taxable sale by the Contributing Owner to the LLC of all
or a portion of the Property which comprises the Contributing Owner’s initial
capital contribution and which is properly treated as “sold” to the Company as
provided in Section 707(a)(2)(B) of the Code (the “Sale Portion”), as
determined by Owner Representative based upon the advice of the LLC’s
accountants.

b. Contribution Portion of the Property. The remaining portion of the Property


that is not the Sale Portion (the “Contribution Portion”) shall be treated as a
“contribution” by the Contributing Owner to the LLC within the meaning of
Section 721 of the Code.

B. Treatment of Payments in Respect of Assessments . Any payment made by an


Owner to the Company in respect of an Assessment shall be treated as a contribution from the
Owner to the Company under Section 721 of the Code, except as may otherwise be determined by
the Owner Representative based upon the advice of the LLC’s accountants and subject to the first
full paragraph of Section 6.3 of this Appendix and clause (ii) of Section 6.3B of this Appendix.
Section 2.11 Order of Application. For purposes of this Article II, the following
provisions set forth in the Agreement and this Article II shall be applied in the following order:

A. Sections 6.11(c)(i) and 9.2(d)(iv) of the Agreement relating to distributions.

B. Section 2.7 of this Appendix relating to Special Allocation of Items of


Nonrecourse Deductions.

C. Section 2.4A(2) of this Appendix relating to Owner Nonrecourse


Deductions.

D. Section 2.4B(1) of this Appendix relating to chargebacks of Company


Minimum Gain.

E. Section 2.4B(2) of this Appendix relating to chargebacks of Owner


Nonrecourse Debt Minimum
Gain.

F. Section 2.4A(1) of this Appendix relating to general limitations.

G. Section 2.5 of this Appendix relating to Qualified Income Offset.

H. Sections 2.1 and 2.8 of this Appendix relating to, respectively, allocations
of Profits and Losses and Curative Allocations shall be applied at the same time.

These provisions shall be applied as if all contributions, distributions and allocations with
respect to a given Taxable Year were made at the end of the LLC’s Taxable Year. Where any
provision depends on the Book Capital Account of any Owner, such Book Capital Account shall be
determined after the application of all preceding provisions for the year.

ARTICLE III WITHHOLDING MATTERS

The Owners shall comply with the requirements contained in the Code and comparable tax
laws of any state in which the LLC is engaged in business regarding tax withholding on income
that is allocated to, or distributions made to, Owners who are non-U.S. persons and/or nonresidents
of a particular state or jurisdiction (including amounts withheld from the LLC on income that is
allocated to the LLC or on payments or distributions to the LLC that would otherwise have been
available for distribution to such Owners) (the “Owner Withholding Law”). For the avoidance of
doubt, the Owner Withholding Law shall include any withholding pursuant to Sections 1445(e)(5)
and 1446(f) of the Code, or any similar withholding requirement that is based on an amount
realized by an Owner with respect to any sale for income tax purposes of all or any portion of its
interest in the LLC, or with respect to any distribution to an Owner by the LLC (including, without
limitation, a distribution pursuant to Section 6.11(c)(i) of the Agreement, or a distribution in partial
or complete redemption of an Owner’s interest in the LLC). The Owner Representative is hereby
authorized and directed by each Owner to withhold from the distributions or other amounts payable
to such Owner under the Agreement such amount or amounts (“Required Owner Withholding”)
as it reasonably determines is required by the Owner Withholding Law, and to remit the Required
Owner Withholding to the Internal Revenue Service and/or such other applicable state taxing
authority at such time or times as may from time to time be required by the relevant taxing
authority. The Required Owner Withholding shall be treated for all purposes of the Agreement as
having been distributed or paid to the Owner in question and then paid by such Owner to the
Internal Revenue Service and/or such other applicable state taxing authority. If the Owner
Representative determines at any time that the Required Owner Withholding with respect to a
particular Owner exceeds the amount of distributions or other amounts payable to such Owner at
such time (a “Cash Shortfall”), the Owner in question shall immediately make a cash contribution
to the LLC equal to the amount of such Cash Shortfall, which the Owner Representative shall use
to effectuate the Required Owner Withholding. The amount of the Cash Shortfall so contributed
shall not be treated as a capital contribution for purposes of the Agreement and the associated
remittance to the taxing authority shall not be treated as a distribution for purposes of the
Agreement. When remitting the Required Owner Withholding, the Owner Representative
shall inform the relevant taxing authority of the name and tax identification number of the Owner
for whose account such Required Owner Withholding is being made.

ARTICLE IV
NO DEFICIT FUNDING OBLIGATION

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Appendix or in the Agreement,


no Owner having a negative balance in its Book Capital Account shall have any obligation to the
LLC or to any other Owner to restore its Book Capital Account to zero.

ARTICLE V
CLOSING OF LLC BOOKS IN CONNECTION WITH ADMISSION OF NEW OWNER OR
TRANSFER OF OWNER’S INTEREST

Upon a Transfer Effective Date, the books of the LLC shall be closed in accordance with
Section 706(d) of the Code, and consistent therewith: (X) items of income, deduction, gain, loss
and/or credit of the LLC that are recognized on or prior to the Transfer Effective Date shall be
allocated among those persons or entities who were Owners in the LLC on or prior to the Transfer
Effective Date; and (Y) items of income, deduction, gain, loss and/or credit of the LLC that are
recognized after the Transfer Effective Date shall be allocated among the persons or entities who
were Owners after the Transfer Effective Date.

ARTICLE VI
TAX MATTERS PARTNER;
PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE;
GENERAL LLC TAX AUDITS

Section 6.1 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 6.2 Post-TEFRA Partnership Audits. For any Taxable Year of the LLC in which
the Post-TEFRA
Partnership Audit Rules apply to the LLC (without taking into account Section 6221 of Code) the
Tax Audit Person shall be designated as the Partnership Representative, and it shall serve as such
with all powers granted to a Partnership Representative under the Code. The Tax Audit person
shall appoint an individual to act as the Designated Individual. The Designated Individual shall act
on behalf of the Partnership Representative and shall serve with the powers granted to a Designated
Individual under the Code. In the event an alternative Partnership Representative is designated
and/or an alternative Designated Individual is appointed at any time, the theretofore-designated
Partnership Representative and/or the theretofore-appointed Designated Individual, as the case may
be, shall cooperate with the LLC and the Owners to effectuate such re-designation and/or re-
appointment, including signing and filing the documents described in Section 301.6223-1(d) of the
Income Tax Regulations and/or any documents required by the relevant taxing authority. The
theretofore-designated Partnership Representative and/or the theretofore-appointed Designated
Individual, as the case may be, shall continue to serve as the Partnership Representative and/or as
the Designated Individual, as the case may be, in a ministerial capacity under the direction of the
Owner Representative, until re-designation and/or re-appointment is effective pursuant to Section
301.6223-1 of the Income Tax Regulations.
A. For each Taxable Year of the LLC in which the Post-TEFRA Partnership
Audit Rules would otherwise apply to the LLC, the Partnership Representative shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to cause the LLC to make the election described in Section
6221(b) of the Code if such election is permitted by Section 6221(b) of the Code. Each
person or entity that is or has ever been an Owner does hereby give its consent (as to itself
and to any of its successors or assigns) to the making of such election. For so long as such
election for any Taxable Year of the LLC shall remain in effect, Section 6.4 (and no
provision below of this Section 6.2) of this Appendix shall apply to the LLC for such
Taxable Year.

B. The Partnership Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to cause the LLC to effect Compliance with respect to an “imputed underpayment” (as
such term is described in Section 6225(b) of the Code) of the LLC. Each person or entity
that is or has ever been an Owner does hereby give its consent (as to itself and to any of its
successors or assigns) to do whatever is necessary or appropriate to enable or to further
such Compliance. Furthermore, in connection with effectuating any such election, the
Partnership Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require that each
Owner of the LLC either: (i) file such amended returns as are described in Section 6225(c)
(2) of the Code with respect to such “imputed underpayment”; or (ii) otherwise effect
Compliance with the requirements contained in Section 6225(c) of the Code, such that such
“imputed underpayment” (as described in Section 6225(b) of the Code) at the LLC level
shall be determined without regard to the portion of the “partnership adjustment” (as
described in Section 6225 of the Code) that is properly allocable to such Owner. Without
limiting the scope and extent of the preceding provisions of this Section 6.2B, the intent
and objective of such provisions is that the “partnership adjustment” and the “imputed
underpayment”, in each case as to which Compliance with Section 6225(c) of the Code is
mandated under this Section 6.2B, will each be zero.

C. The Partnership Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to cause the LLC to make the election described in Section 6226(a)(1) of the Code with
respect to one or more specific “imputed underpayments” (as that term is used in Section
6226(a)(1) of the Code) and, with respect to each such election, the Partnership
Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation, to otherwise cause the LLC to
comply with the requirements contained in Section 6226(a) of the Code with respect to
such “imputed underpayment(s)”. Each person or entity that is or has ever been an Owner
does hereby give its consent (as to itself and to any of its successors or assigns) to the
making of such election. Furthermore, in connection with effectuating any such election,
each Owner hereby agrees (as to itself and to any of its successors or assigns) that it will
comply, for such Taxable Year and for any other relevant Taxable Year, with the
requirements contained in: (i) the flush language (beginning “section 6225…” and ending
“…subsection (b)” (as such language may be amended) of Section 6226(a); and (ii) Section
6226(b), in each case of the Code, with respect to the “final partnership adjustments” that
are covered by any and all elections made pursuant to this Section 6.2C. Without limiting
the scope and extent of the preceding provisions of this Section 6.2C, the intent and
objective of such provisions is that Section 6225 shall not apply to any “imputed
underpayment” (as described in Section 6225(b) of the Code) of the LLC that is covered by
any election made pursuant to this Section 6.2C.

D. The Partnership Representative shall have the right, but not the obligation
to cause the LLC to file a request for administrative adjustment described in Section
6227(a) of the Code with respect to one or more specific “partnership-related items” (as
that term is used in Section 6227(a) of the Code), and shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to otherwise cause the LLC to comply with the requirements contained in
Section 6227 of the Code with respect to such request. In connection with any actions
taken under this Section 6.2D, the Partnership Representative and the Owners shall comply
with the applicable foregoing provisions of Sections 6.2B and 6.2C, respectively, with
respect to any adjustment under Section 6227(a) of the Code which is determined and
taken into account under Section 6227(b)(1) of the Code (regarding rules similar to the
rules under Section 6225 of the Code) or 6227(b)(2) of the Code (regarding rules similar to
the rules under Section 6226 of the Code). To the extent Section 6227(b)(1) of the Code
applies under rules similar to the rules under Section 6225 of the Code, each Owner agrees
(as to itself and to any of its successors or assigns) that it shall provide such consents or
agreements or take such other actions that it would have been obligated to provide or take
under Section 6.2B, above, if Section 6225 of the Code had applied (excluding the
provisions of such Section 6225 specified under Section 6227(b)(1) of the Code). To the
extent Section 6227(b)(2) of the Code applies under rules similar to the rules under Section
6226 of the Code, each Owner agrees (as to itself and to any of its successors or assigns)
that it shall provide such consents or agreements or take such other actions that it would
have been obligated to provide or take under Section 6.2C, above, if Section 6226 of the
Code had applied (excluding the provisions of such Section 6226 specified under Section
6227(b)(2) of the Code).

Section 6.3 Adjustment Liabilities. The provisions of Section 6.2 of this Article VI are
intended, and are to be interpreted, to avoid, wherever possible, the result that any income tax,
interest, penalties or additions to the tax are ever assessed against the LLC pursuant to Section 6221
of the Code. If, contrary to that intent, the LLC should become liable for income tax, interest,
penalties, and/or additions to the tax that are attributable to an adjustment in respect of the
distributive share of an Owner (or a former Owner) under Section 6225 of the Code (such liability,
as reasonably determined by the Tax Audit Person, based upon the advice of the LLC’s
accountants, an “Adjustment Liability”), the Owners hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the
Owner Representative to treat such Adjustment Liabilities as “Tax Assessments” (as defined in the
Agreement”) and to collect such Adjustment Liabilities in the manner provided for in Articles VI
and/or VII of the Agreement and/or to withhold from any and all distributions or other amounts
then payable to such Owner (or former Owner) such Adjustment Liability, and to remit such
amount to the Internal Revenue Service or as may otherwise be required. The amount of the
remitted Adjustment Liability shall be treated for all purposes of the Agreement as having been
distributed or paid to the Owner (or former Owner) in question and shall reduce the amount
otherwise distributable or payable to such Owner (or former Owner) under the Agreement if and as
appropriate.

Section 6.4 Other Audit Procedures. As and to the extent that, for any Taxable Year of
the LLC, the Post- TEFRA Partnership Audit Rules do not apply to the LLC, the Tax Audit Person
shall serve in a role (“Tax Audit Representative”) with duties and obligations that are, to the
extent possible and permitted under relevant law, comparable to those of a Partnership
Representative as and to the extent that there are any income tax audits, inquiries or investigations
conducted by an income tax authority at the level of the LLC. In the event an alternative Tax Audit
Representative is appointed at any time, the theretofore-appointed Tax Audit Representative shall
cooperate with the LLC and the Owners to effectuate such re-appointment, including signing and
filing any documents required by the relevant taxing authority.

Section 6.5 Notice and Expenses. Each Owner shall give prompt notice to each other
Owner of any and all notices it receives from the Internal Revenue Service or any relevant state or
local taxing authority, concerning the LLC, including any notice of audit, any notice of action with
respect to a revenue agent’s report, any notice of a 30-day appeal letter and any notice of a
deficiency in tax concerning the LLC’s Federal income tax return, or any relevant state or local
income tax return. In its role as Partnership Representative and/or Tax Audit Representative, the
Tax Audit Person shall serve at LLC expense and shall furnish each Owner with status reports
regarding any negotiation between any taxing authority (Federal, state or local) and the LLC.
Section 6.6 Authority of Tax Audit Person. The Tax Audit Person shall have the power
to enter into any settlement with any taxing authority (Federal, state or local), extend the statute of
limitations, or file for judicial review of any partnership adjustment as described in Section 6234 of
the Code, on behalf of the LLC or the Owners, and without the approval of the other Owners,
except as may otherwise be provided in the Agreement.

Section 6.7 Adjustments to Book Capital Accounts. The Tax Audit Person shall, based
upon the advice of, and in the manner determined by, the LLC’s accountants, cause there to be
made all appropriate adjustments (actual and notional) to the Book Capital Accounts of the Owners
in respect of any adjustment to LLC items under the Post-TEFRA Partnership Audit Rules
including, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any adjustments in respect of the LLC’s payment of an
Adjustment Liability under Section 6225 of the Code or in respect of the application of Section
6226 of the Code, and (ii) the effect of the payment of any Adjustment Liability.

Section 6.8 Indemnification of Tax Audit Person and Designated Individual.


Notwithstanding anything contained in the Agreement to the contrary, the LLC shall indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless the Tax Audit Person, to the greatest extent permitted by law, against
any and all liabilities, losses, claims, costs, damages and expenses which arise from Tax Audit
Person’s actions, inactions, or decisions while acting in its capacity as the Partnership
Representative and/or the Tax Audit Representative for the LLC, except to the extent that a court of
competent jurisdiction determines that such actions, inactions, or decisions constitute either gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Tax Audit Person. The LLC shall also
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Designated Individual, to the greatest extent permitted by
law, against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, costs, damages and expenses which arise from the
Designated Individual’s actions, inactions, or decisions while serving on behalf of the Tax Audit
Person, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that such actions,
inactions, or decisions constitute either gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the
Designated Individual.

Section 6.9 Owner Responsibilities and Indemnification Obligations. Each Owner


agrees (as to itself and its successors and assigns) to take all actions requested by the Partnership
Representative and/or Tax Audit Representative in order to enable the Partnership Representative
and/or Tax Audit Representative to carry out its duties and obligations described in Sections 6.2
and 6.4, including, but not limited to, providing any information regarding such Owner’s individual
tax returns and liabilities that may be relevant under Section 6225(c) of the Code. Each Owner
further agrees (as to itself and its successors and assigns) to notify the Partnership Representative
and/or Tax Audit Representative, as applicable, of such Owner’s treatment of any partnership item
on its Federal, state or local income tax returns which is or may be inconsistent with the treatment
of that item on the LLC’s return. Furthermore, each Owner agrees (as to itself and its successors
and assigns) to keep the Partnership Representative and/or Tax Audit Representative advised of the
Owner’s current contact information, including, but not limited to, the Owner’s current mailing
address. The obligations in this Section 6.9 shall be imposed on each Owner (or former Owner), as
to itself and its successors and assigns, until such Owner (or former Owner) and its successors and
assigns is/are released in writing by the Partnership Representative and/or Tax Audit
Representative, as the case may be, from such obligation. In the event an Owner (or former
Owner) fails to comply with any of the Owner’s duties or obligations described in the provisions of
this Article VI, (excluding the duties or obligations of the Tax Audit Person), such Owner (or
former Owner) shall indemnify, defend and hold the LLC, the other Owners, and the assets of the
LLC, harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, costs, damages and expenses
(including, but not limited to income tax, interest, penalties, and additions to tax) that result from
such Owner’s (or former Owner’s) failure to comply. Any payments made by an Owner (or former
Owner) under this Section 6.9 shall be made at the sole cost to the Owner (or former Owner),
without any right of reimbursement or credit as a capital contribution.

Section 6.10 Purpose of Article VI. The provisions of this Article VI are intended, and
should be applied, whenever possible, in such a manner as to prevent any Owner (or former
Owner) from paying an amount of income tax (excluding interest, penalties, and additions to tax)
that exceeds the amount of income tax such Owner (or former Owner) would have paid if the
original income tax reporting of the LLC and the Owners had been consistent with the final
determination of the LLC’s “partnership adjustments”, as described in Section 6225 of the Code.
For these purposes, the term “final determination” means either (i) the non-appealable
determination of an administrative agency or (ii) the non- appealable determination of a court or
judicial body.

Section 6.11 Application of Article VI. The provisions of this entire Article VI shall
survive the termination of the Agreement, the liquidation of the LLC, the dissolution of the LLC,
the withdrawal, resignation or retirement of an Owner from the LLC, the transfer of an Owner’s
interest in the LLC and the liquidation of an Owner’s interest in the LLC.
