a) First, to creditors of the Company, including Shareholders who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of all debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses of the Company, including, without limitation, the expenses incurred in connection with the liquidation of the Company; and

b) Second, to the Preferred Shareholders to the extent of and in proportion to their invested capital until the aggregate amount paid to such Preferred Shareholders is sufficient to provide for a complete return of such Preferred Shareholders invested capital; and

D. Dividends. 

Preferred Dividend. Each holder of Preferred Shares will be eligible to receive a “Preferred Dividend” that is expected to, with respect to the Preferred Share’s par value (cumulative and not compounded) equal to eight (8.0%) percent per annum, paid or accrued monthly. For purposes of calculating the Preferred Dividend, all capital contributions and dividends occurring during a given month will be deemed to have occurred on the first day of the month. Such dividends will be made from available cash that remains following the payment of Company obligations as more fully described in this Article IV. Payment of the Preferred Dividend is further contingent upon the Company retaining available cash to offset any losses in the event the Company is operating at a loss. In the event the Company does not have available cash to distribute, a holder of Preferred Shares will neither receive nor be entitled to payment of the Preferred Dividend.

Special Dividends. Once any one of the Company Properties reaches Stabilization, which is typically twenty-four (24) months from the commencement of operations. the Company may elect to pay additional dividends to the holders of Preferred Shares from the distributions it receives from a respective Holdco, less certain expenses and reserves (see “Net Operating Cash Flow”). The amount of Net Operating Cash Flow of the Company to be paid as Special Dividends shall be determined by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion.

The Company does not expect to receive distributions from the Holdcos and, therefore, commence the payment of Special Dividends based on Net Operating Cash Flow to Preferred Shareholders, until one or more of the Company Properties have begun to generate sufficient cash flow in excess of any debt service and reserve requirements. As a result there can be no assurance as to the date on which distributions will commence or the timing or amount of such distributions, if any, from the Net Operating Cash Flow. The Company expects to pay dividends to the holders of Preferred Shares and holders of Common Shares from distributions it receives from the Holdcos in connection with any sale, refinancing, redemption or other disposition of the Communities, less certain expenses ("Net Disposition Proceeds").

Dividends shall be payable only when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors.

Dividends resulting from Net Disposition Proceeds received by the Company from Holdcos shall be determined as follows:

a) First, to the Preferred Shareholders to the extent of and in proportion to their respective unpaid eight (8.0%) percent Preferred Return until such Preferred Shareholders' unpaid eight (8.0%) percent Preferred Return has been paid in full;

b) Second, fifty (50%) percent of the Net Distribution Proceeds to the Preferred Shareholders’ Special Dividends allocated among Preferred Shareholders in proportion to the amount and duration of each Preferred Shareholder’s invested capital;

c) Third, any remaining Net Distribution Proceeds to the Common Shareholders.

If the FBCA is amended after the effective date of this Article VI to further eliminate or limit, or to authorize further elimination or limitation of, the personal liability of Directors for breach of fiduciary duty as a Director, then the personal liability of a Director to this Corporation or its shareholders shall be eliminated or limited to the full extent permitted by the FBCA, as so amended. For purposes of this Article VI, “fiduciary duty as a Director” shall include any fiduciary duty arising out of serving at the request of this Corporation as a director of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and “personally liable to the Corporation” shall include any liability to such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and any liability to this Corporation in its capacity as a security holder, joint venturer, partner, beneficiary, creditor or investor of or in any such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

This provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a Director for any act or omission occurring prior to the effective date of this Article VI.

ARTICLE VII – INDEMNITY

A. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by reason of the fact that he/she is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity, against costs, charges and other expenses (including attorneys’ fees) (“Expenses”), judgments, fines and amount paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and any appeal thereof if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his/her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his/her conduct was unlawful. For purposes of this Article VII, “serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise” shall include any service by a Director or officer of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, or with respect to any employee benefit plan (or its participants or beneficiaries) of the Corporation or any such other enterprise.

The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he/she is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise or by reason of any action alleged to have been taken or omitted in such capacity against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection with the investigation, defense or settlement of such action or suit and any appeal thereof if he/she acted in good faith and in a manner he/she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Orange County, Florida or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such Expenses which the Court of Orange County, Florida or such other court shall deem proper. 

C. To the extent that any person referred to in paragraphs (A) or (B) of this Article VII has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to therein or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he/she shall be indemnified against Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him/her in connection therewith.

D. Any indemnification under paragraphs (A) or (B) of this Article VII (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the Director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he/she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in paragraphs (A) or (B). Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum (as defined in the By-Laws of the Corporation) consisting of Directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested Directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the shareholders.

F. The determination of the entitlement of any person to indemnification under paragraphs (A), (B) or (C) or to advancement of Expenses under paragraph (E) of this Article VII shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the Corporation has received a written request for payment from or on behalf of a Director or officer and payment of amounts due under such sections shall be made immediately after such determination. If no disposition of such request is made within said thirty (30) days or if payment has not been made within ten (10) days thereafter, or if such request is rejected, the right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses provided by this Article VII shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the Director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition to the other amounts due under this Article VII, Expenses incurred by or on behalf of a Director or officer in successfully establishing his/her right to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, in whole or in part, in any such action (or settlement thereof) shall be paid by the Corporation.

I. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him/her and incurred by him/her in any such capacity, or arising out of his/her status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him/her against such liability under the provisions of this Article VII.
