Profits and losses from a Major Capital Event and a Liquidating Event shall be determined and allocated as of the date of such Event, without regard to allocations of profit or loss occurring after, or distributions of cash occurring after or with respect to, such event. The Company does not intend to make any special allocations of income, gain or losses and intends to allocate reportable income, and gains consistent with the actual cash distributions to the Partners Such items allocated to the Equity Investors shall be allocated among the Members according to their Percentage Interests.
(a) Allocation of Losses:
(1) Elimination of Undistributed Profits.  First, any net loss of the Company shall be allocated among the Members until the Capital Account of each Member is reduced to an amount equal to that Member's aggregate Capital Contributions to the Company.
(2) Elimination of Contributed Capital Balance.  Second, any remaining net loss of the Company shall thereafter be allocated among the Members until the Capital Account of each Member is reduced to zero.
(3) Allocation of Loss Attributable to Non-Member Debt.  Third, any remaining net loss of the Company shall thereafter be allocated to the Members until the deficit in each Member's Capital Account equals his allocable share of Company debt (not including debt to Members, debts guaranteed by Members, debt secured by a Member's property, or other debts for which a Member has economic risk). It is understood that recourse debt, if any, owed to persons who are not Members will be allocated entirely to the Manager.
(4) Allocation of Loss Attributable to Member Debt.  Fourth, any remaining net loss of the Company shall thereafter be allocated to the Members until the deficit in each Member's Capital Account equals, in addition to amounts allocated pursuant to the previous sentence, (a) the amount of the Company's outstanding debts (outstanding principal and accrued unpaid interest) to that Member, and (b) that Member's share of any Company debt that the Member has guaranteed or pledged collateral for, or with respect to which the Member has otherwise assumed the risk of nonpayment.
(5) Remaining Net Loss.  Fifth, any remaining net loss of the Company shall be allocated 100% to the Developer Investors.
(6) Liquidating Event Loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, losses arising from a Liquidating Event shall be allocated first to those Members with positive Capital Accounts in a manner so as to reduce all positive Capital Accounts to zero, or to equal amounts and as close to zero as the extent of the allocable losses allow. No loss amount shall be allocated to a Member with a negative Capital Account balance so long as any Member has a positive Capital Account balance. No additional losses shall be allocated to a Member's Capital Account to cause the Member's Capital Account to be reduced below zero.

Allocation of Income from Operations:
(1) Elimination of Accumulated Net Loss.  First, any net income from Operations shall be allocated among the Members in the inverse of the order and in the amounts in which net losses of the Company have previously been allocated, until the Capital Account of each Member equals the amount of the Member's capital contribution to the Company.
(2) Preferred Return. Second, any remaining net income from Company Operations shall be allocated 100% to the Members until they have been allocated amounts equal to the full amount of the Preferred Return which has been distributed to them.

(c) Net Income and Gain from Liquidating or Capital Events:

(2) Make up Return.  Second, net income or gain from a Liquidating Event or a Capital Event shall be allocated to the Members in an amount sufficient to ensure that if the Company were to then distribute all of its assets to the Members, the Members would receive total capital distributions, including prior Capital Distributions made, equal to the aggregate of their Capital Contributions.

This is intended to be treated as a carried interest to the Developer Investors. When there is a distribution in liquidation of the Company, or when any Member’s interest is liquidated, all items of income and loss first shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts under this Article IV, and other credits and deductions to the Members’ Capital Accounts shall be made before the final distribution is made.
(d) Allocations Among Members:
(1) Amounts allocated to the Members collectively shall be allocated pro rata among the Members per their Percentage Interests. No Member shall be allocated an amount of losses that would reduce his Capital Account below zero or which would require him to contribute additional funds to the Company if it were dissolved. To the extent consistent with Federal tax law, it is intended that allocations of profits shall be made to the Members to the extent of and in accordance with first, prior allocations of loss and second, actual distributions of cash made to them.
(2) All allocations of profits and losses from Operations shall be made to the persons who were Members during the fiscal period for which such allocation is made based upon the number of days in such period during which the person was a Member.
(3) All allocations of profits and losses from a Major Capital Event or Liquidating Event shall be made to the persons who are Members as of the date of such event.
(4) If profits from a Major Capital Event or Liquidating Event allocated to the Members are less than the deficit amounts of the Capital Accounts of all Members whose Capital Accounts are negative, if any, such profits shall be allocated among such Members in the ratio which the deficit amount of each such Member's Capital Account bears to the deficit amounts of the Capital Accounts of all such Members whose Capital Accounts have a deficit balance.
(5) If the character of any profit or loss is in part capital and in part ordinary in the hands of the Company or is in part governed by Internal Revenue Code Section 1231 and in part not governed thereby, then all allocations of any such profit or loss shall be made among the Members in a manner such that each Member to whom such profit or loss is allocated, is allocated the same proportion of each such separate class of profit or loss as such Member is allocated to the total amount of such profit or loss.
(6) Any recognition of taxable income or loss arising from the recharacterization of the status or treatment of any item, or any recapture of any tax credit on audit or by an amended tax return, shall be allocated in the same manner and ratio as said item or credit was previously allocated to the Members, or as close thereto as the Manager may determine, in its sole discretion on competent advice.
(7) For the purposes of the allocations made upon a liquidation or capital event, the balance in a Member's Capital Account shall be determined as if the Company's year had closed immediately prior to the date as of which such allocations are made.
(8) To the extent that taxable profits equal cash distributions, profit allocations will correspond with the actual cash distributions made.
(9) If there are more than one Developer Investor, amounts distributed, or profits or losses allocated to the Developer Investors shall be divided among those persons pursuant to their Percentage Interest.
(e) Allocations for Capital Account Purposes:
(1) Capital accounts shall be maintained for each Equity Investor and for each Developer Investor. For Federal Income Tax purposes and for the purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the Members among themselves, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with the above) shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, except as otherwise provided in this document or by the Manager to make the allocation equitable.
(2) If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4) through (6), inclusive, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate a deficit in its Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This Article 5.f.ii. is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(d)(3).
(3) If, and to the extent that, any Member is deemed to recognize income as a result of any transaction between such Member and the Company pursuant to Sections 1272-1274, Section 7872, Section 483 or Section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code (hereafter referred to as "the Code"), or any similar provision now or hereafter in effect, any corresponding resulting loss or deduction of the Company shall be allocated to the Member who was charged with such income.
(4) If any Member's Capital Account has a deficit balance resulting in whole or in part from allocations of loss or deduction attributable to nonrecourse debt which is secured by Company property, which deficit balance exceeds such Member's share of minimum gain (as defined below), then income and gain shall first be allocated to such Member in an amount equal to such excess. For purposes of this Article 5. f. iv, "minimum gain" means the excess of the outstanding principal balance of nonrecourse debt which is secured by Company property over the Company's adjusted tax basis of such property. This Article 5.f.iv is intended to comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv), and is to be interpreted, if possible, to comply with the requirements of such regulation. The Manager shall have complete discretion to amend the provisions of this Agreement if such amendment would not have a material adverse effect on the Members and if, in the opinion of counsel, such amendment is advisable to reflect or comply with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv).
(5) To the extent of any recapture income resulting from the sale or other taxable disposition of Company assets, the amount of any gain from such disposition allocated to (or recognized by) a Member (or its successor in interest) for federal income tax purposes pursuant to the above provisions shall be deemed to be recapture income to the extent such Member has been allocated or has claimed any deduction directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gain as recapture income.
(6) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction, credit and basis allocation recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes and allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be determined without regard to any election under Section 754 of the Code which may be made by the Company; provided, however, such allocations, once made, shall be adjusted as necessary or appropriate to take into account those adjustments permitted by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code and, where appropriate, to provide only Members recognizing gain on Company distributions covered by Section 734 of the Code with the federal income tax benefits attributable to the increased basis in Company property resulting from any election under Section 754 of the Code.
(7) Any item of loss, deduction or Nondeductible Expenditure that is attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be allocated to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for such debt. If more than one Member bears the economic risk of loss for a Member Nonrecourse Debt, any such item attributable to such debt shall be allocated among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which the Members share the economic risk of loss for such debt. The determination of the items of Company loss, deduction and nondeductible expenditure that are attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt shall be made in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2).
(f) A Member's allocable share of the Company's items of income, gain, deduction and loss for tax purposes shall be determined under the foregoing provisions except as follows:
(1) Contributed Property. Income, gain, loss and deduction, as computed for the purpose of determining taxable income, with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for Federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
(2) Other Property with Gross Asset Value Different from Tax Basis. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset, as computed for the purpose of determining taxable income, shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the manner provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).
(3) Tax Elections; Effects on Capital Accounts. Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations addressed by this Section shall be made in a manner that reasonably reflects the purposes and intentions of this Agreement. Allocations made pursuant to this Article are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account, share of Profits and Losses, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
(4) Compliance with Code and Regulations. The provisions of this Agreement that relate to the allocations for Federal income tax purposes of items of Company income (including Exempt Income), gain, loss, deduction and Nondeductible Expenditure (including the allocation of such items with respect to property having a Gross Asset Value different from adjusted Federal income tax basis), that relate to the determination and maintenance of Capital Accounts, and that relate to the distribution of Company property upon the liquidation of the Company or a Member's interest therein, are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (to the extent not superseded by Regulations Section 1.704-2) and Regulations Section 1.704-2, and with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such statutory and regulatory provisions, which statutory and regulatory provisions are expressly incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement. Should such statutory and regulatory provisions be amended, to the extent that such amendments are applicable to this Agreement, the affected provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with such amended provisions.
(5) Allocation in Event of Transfer. If interest(s) in the Company are transferred, in accordance with the restrictions of this Agreement, there shall be allocated to each Member who held the transferred interest(s) during the fiscal year of transfer the product of (a) the Company's Profits or Losses allocable to such transferred interest(s) for such fiscal year and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Member has held the interest(s) and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal year; provided however, that the Manager may, in its reasonable discretion, allocate such Profits or Losses by closing the books of the Company immediately after the transfer of such interest(s). Such allocation shall be made without regard to the date, amount or recipient of any distributions that may have been made with respect to such transferred interest(s).
(6)
Section 704 Consistency. It is intended that the allocations prescribed above constitute allocations for federal income tax purposes that are consistent with Section 704 of the Code and comply with any limitations or restrictions therein, to the extent reasonably possible without causing individual percentage interests ("Interests") to lack uniform characteristics for federal income tax purposes. If uniformity of the Interests cannot be preserved by application of the foregoing rules, then the Manager shall have sole discretion to (i) adopt such conventions as the Manager deems appropriate in determining the amount of depreciation and cost recovery deductions; (ii) make special allocations of income or deduction; and (iii) amend the provisions of this Agreement as appropriate (a) to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Section 704(c) of the Code, or (b) otherwise to preserve the uniformity of Interests issued or sold from time to time; provided, however, that the Manager may adopt such conventions, make such allocations and amend this Agreement as provided in this Article only if they would not have a material adverse effect on the  Members and if such allocations are consistent with, and supportable under, the principles of Section 704 of the Code.
(g) Distributions:
(1) Preferred Return. Equity Investors shall be entitled to distributions equal to seven percent (7%) per annum on their Unreturned Capital Contributions as a preferred return (the “Preferred Return” as defined above). Provided the Manager determines in its sole discretion that the Company has sufficient cash reserves to justify a distribution, the Preferred Return shall be distributed quarterly to the Equity Investors (such distribution may be a partial distribution based upon the Manager’s determination).
(2) Irrespective of the above, the Manager may defer and accrue any portion of the Preferred Return (including without limitation the entire Preferred Return) until such time as it determines in its sole discretion that such accrual (including necessary cash reserves) is no longer necessary for the operation of the Company or prudently kept as cash reserves of the Company until the Company either sells, liquidates or refinances the Property (the “Accrued Return”).  The Accrued Return does not accrue interest.
4.2 The Manager shall determine the amount available for distributions of Available Cash Flow From Operations (as defined above), with respect to any period, being the total cash received by the Company from operations, after payment of all expenses and obligations of the Company for such period, including any fees payable to the Manager or its affiliates and payments on loans to the Company from a Member, and following the creation of such reserves as the Manager in its sole discretion may establish.
4.3 Reserves may be maintained for a period to be determined by the Manager in its sole discretion, and, when no longer deemed by the Manager to be necessary, shall be distributed to the Equity Investors for the payment of their then owing Preferred Return or their Accrued Return and thereafter to all of the Members based upon their Percentage Interests.
4.4 Any distributions to Members from cash available from operations in excess of the full payment of Preferred Return or Accrued Return shall be treated as a return of invested Capital, even if paid from profits.
4.5 Distributions of Available Proceeds (that is, the net cash received by the Company from time to time from the proceeds of any financing or refinancing, any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of any Company asset or condemnation or expropriation award or insurance claim (unless all proceeds are used to repair or restore the Company assets), or sale of the Project after payment of the costs of the transaction giving rise to the Available Proceeds, payment of such outstanding debts, expenses and obligations as are required to be paid in connection therewith and the creation of such reserves as the Manager in its sole discretion may establish), will be allocated in the following order:  (a) First, 100% of such proceeds shall be distributed to the Equity Investors until they have received distributions equal to their total Capital Contributions, (b) Second, 100% to the Equity Investors until they have received distributions equal to the Preferred Return then owing or Accrued Return due, and (c) Third, to all of the Members, allocated among them based upon their Percentage Interests.  The Manager shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion, to refinance the Property or the Project for the purpose of ascertaining Available Proceeds to pay the Accrued Return to the Preferred Investors and/or make other distributions.

6.7.3 To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make the election under Code Section 6226, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, with respect to a material imputed underpayment amount (determined in the Partnership Representative’s sole discretion) and the Company pays any imputed adjustment amount (including tax, any penalties, and interest) under Code Section 6225, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, the Company shall allocate such amount among the Company in a manner it determines to be fair and equitable.  To the extent that a portion of the tax liabilities imposed under Code Section 6225, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures, for a prior year relates to a former Member, the Partnership Representative may require a former Member to indemnify the Company for its allocable portion of such liability.  The Partnership Representative shall seek payment from each Member (including any former Member) for its allocable amount, and each such Member hereby agrees to pay such amount to the Company (such amount shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution).  Any such amount not paid by a Member (or former Member) at the time requested by the Partnership Representative shall accrue interest at the “Prime Rate” (as set forth from time to time in the “Interest Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal or any successor publication thereto) until paid, and such Member (or former Member) shall also be liable to the Company for any damages resulting from a delay in making such payment beyond the date such payment is requested by the Partnership Representative.  Each Member acknowledges that, notwithstanding the Transfer of all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company, pursuant to this Section 6.6.3 it may remain liable for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Company for the Company’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such Transfer or redemption, as applicable, under Code Section 6225, as amended by the Revised Partnership Audit Procedures.  Without reduction in a Member’s (or former Member’s) obligation under the foregoing, any imputed adjustment amount paid by the Company that is attributable to a Member (or former Member), and that is not paid by such Member shall be treated as a distribution to such Member (or former Member).  Expense items attributable to any imputed adjustment amount of the Company shall be specially allocated to each Member in proportion to which such Partner bears the cost of such imputed adjustment amount.
6.7.4 The provisions of Sections 6.5 and 6.6 shall survive indefinitely, and the foregoing covenants and indemnification obligations of each Member shall not terminate, without regard to any Transfer of a Member’s Interest, withdrawal as a Member, or liquidation, dissolution or termination of the Company.
6.8 Elections.  The Managers may make any tax elections for the Company allowed under the Code or the tax laws of any state or other jurisdiction having taxing jurisdiction over the Company.

ARTICLE VIII: TRANSFERS OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS
8.1
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, a Member shall not Transfer any part of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless (1) the Manager approves the transferee’s admission to the Company as a Member upon such Transfer and (2) the Membership Interest to be transferred, when added to the total of all other Membership Interests transferred in the preceding 12 months, will not cause the termination of the Company under the Code and (3)  the Membership Interest to be transferred does not cause a transfer tax or property reassessment with respect to the Property or the Project.  No Manager shall be under any obligation whatsoever to approve the admission of a proposed transferee of a Member’s Membership Interest.  Any attempted Transfer of a Membership Interest without such approval shall be void and shall constitute the Withdrawal of a Member.  Any Transfer of a Membership Interest which does not result in a change in the beneficial ownership of such Membership Interest shall not be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.1, and in such case, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the transferee of such Membership Interest shall automatically be admitted to the Company as a Member, subject only to such transferee’s executing a counterpart of this Agreement as a party hereto.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Transfer of a Membership Interest by Mackenzie shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.14.
8.2
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Member who is a natural person may Transfer all or any portion of his or her Membership Interest by devise to a family member (i.e., spouse, child, issue, niece or nephew, parent or sibling) (a “Family Member”); or to any revocable trust created for the benefit of the Member, or for any combination between or among the Member, the Member’s spouse, and the Member’s issue or any other Family Member; provided that the Member is a Trustee during their lifetime, retains a beneficial interest in the trust and the Member as Trustee or individually possesses all of the Voting Interest included in such Membership Interest.  Any such trust shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to the limitation upon transfer to third parties of a Membership Interest and the valuation of such a Membership Interest in the event of a Withdrawal.  A Transfer of a Member’s entire beneficial interest in such trust, or a failure to retain such Voting Interest, or except upon death the Member ceasing to be the sole Trustee shall be deemed a Transfer of a Membership Interest in contravention of this Agreement and hence a Triggering Event as defined in Section 8.5.
8.3
No Member may Encumber or permit or suffer any Encumbrance of all or any part of the Member’s Membership Interest in the Company unless such Encumbrance has been approved in writing by all the other Members.  Any Encumbrance of a Membership Interest without such approval shall be void.
8.4
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement:
(a) If, in connection with the divorce or dissolution of the marriage of a Member, any court issues a decree or order that transfers, confirms, or awards a Membership Interest, or any portion thereof, to that Member’s spouse (an “Award”), then, notwithstanding that such transfer would constitute an unpermitted Transfer under this Agreement, that Member shall have the right to purchase from his or her former spouse the Membership Interest, or portion thereof, that was so transferred, and such former spouse shall sell the Membership Interest or portion thereof to that Member at the price determined in conformity with Section 8.10 of this Agreement.  If the Member has failed to consummate the purchase within 180 days after the date of the Award (the “Expiration Date”), the Company and the other Members shall have the option to purchase from the former spouse the Membership Interest or portion thereof pursuant to Section 8.9(a) and at a price determined in conformity with Section 8.10, provided that the Option Period shall commence on the later of (1) the day following the Expiration Date, or (2) the date of actual notice of the Award, and continue for 180 days thereafter.  For purposes of this Section and for purposes of this entire Agreement, the term “Option Period” shall mean the period during which an option to purchase a Member’s Membership Interest can be exercised.
(b) If, by reason of the death of a spouse of a Member, any portion of a Membership Interest is transferred to a transferee other than (1) that Member or (2) the Member’s siblings, parents children or issue or (3) a trust created for the benefit of that Member (or for the benefit of that Member and any combination between or among the Member and the Member’s issue, parents,  spouse or children) in which the Member is a Trustee and the Member, as Trustee or individually possesses all of the Voting Interest included in that Membership Interest, then the Member shall have the right to purchase the Membership Interest or portion thereof from the estate or other successor of his or her deceased spouse or transferee of such deceased spouse, and the estate, successor, or transferee shall sell the Membership Interest or portion thereof at the price set forth in Section 8.10 of this Agreement.  If the Member has failed to consummate the purchase of the entire interest within 180 days after the date of death (the Expiration Date), the Company and the other Members shall have the option to purchase from the estate or from any other successor of the deceased spouse, the Membership Interest or portion thereof pursuant to Section 8.9 of this Agreement; provided that the Option Period shall commence on the later of (1) the day following the Expiration Date, or (2) the date of actual notice of the death, and shall continue for 180 days thereafter.
8.5
No Member shall participate in any Vote or decision in any matter pertaining to the disposition of that Member’s Membership Interest in the Company under this Agreement.
8.6
The Members acknowledge and agree that because of the unique business relationships between the Initial Members and because of the nature of the Company’s business, or the occurrence of a Transfer of a Membership Interest may, in the sole discretion of the Remaining Members, force the Remaining Members to purchase the Membership Interests of a Transferring Member and is thereby likely to create an economic hardship on the Remaining Members.  Accordingly, except as provided in Section 8.11 below, the following shall govern the rights of the Members after a Member provides notice of their intent to Transfer any Membership Interests (the “Transferring Member”):
(a) If a Member attempts to Transfer any Membership Interests without the consent of the other Members, then the Company and/or the remaining Members shall have options to purchase the interests of the  Transferring Member (the “Repurchase Option”).  The Repurchase Option to purchase the interests of the Transferring Member shall be exercised in such a fashion that the Percentage Interests of the Remaining Members shall not change relative to each other, regardless of whether the Company or the Remaining Members are the exercising parties.  In any such instance, not more than 180 days after the Notice of Transfer, the date of the Triggering Event, or any other event that gives rise to the option, the Company or the Remaining Members (as is appropriate) shall give notice in writing to the Transferring Member (or his successor, if appropriate) of their intention to exercise the said option.  Upon delivery of said notice, the Members will proceed to value the interest of the Transferring Member in the manner set forth in Section 8.10.
(b) If the Company and then the Remaining Members elect not to exercise their Repurchase Options to purchase the interests of the Transferring Member pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth above in Section 8.7, then by a Majority in Interest Vote of the Members, the Members can elect to either to liquidate the Company, or to approve the transferee of the Transferring Member’s Interest.  If the Remaining Members elect to approve the said transferee of the Transferring Member’s Interest, that transferee shall become a Member, provided, that the entire interest of the Transferring Member shall be transferred to a single person or entity and shall have a single Vote for all purposes.  If the Remaining Members elect to liquidate the Company, all business activities of the Company with the exception of the management and ownership of real property assets shall be brought to an orderly conclusion.  The Property and other assets shall be promptly listed for sale and shall be sold on an orderly basis.  The Company shall continue to manage the Property in the manner that they were previously managed until such time as they are sold.  Upon sale of the Property, the remaining liabilities of the Company shall be paid and the balance of any proceeds of the sale, together with any other remaining assets shall be distributed to the Members or their representatives by first paying each Member the amount of his capital account and any Accrued Return, with the balance, if any, distributed to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests in the Company.  If, after paying the liabilities of the Company, the proceeds of the sale are insufficient to pay all Members the amounts of their capital accounts and Accrued Return, then any surplus shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interest.
8.7
For purposes of establishing the price for the purchase of a Membership Interest in the Company (if the Company or the Members determine to do so) under any circumstances other than liquidation, the following procedures shall govern:
(a) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of (a) the receipt of a Notice of Withdrawal by the Company and the Remaining Members as contemplated by Section 8.1, (b) receipt of Notice of a Triggering Event pursuant to Section 8.5, (c) upon an Award as referred to in Section 8.6(a), or (d) upon the death of a spouse of a Member as referred to in Section 8.6, or (e) upon any other event, the consequence of which requires valuation of a Member’s Membership Interest incident to a voluntary Transfer or Involuntary Transfer, the Manager, shall determine, in good faith, a net fair market value (the “Fair Market Value”) of the Company.  In determining the Fair Market Value, no value shall be ascribed to goodwill, and all cash, receivables and liabilities shall be valued as stated on the books of the Company.  The net Fair Market Value of the Member’s Membership Interest shall take into consideration the Accrued Return and Unreturned Capital balance of such Member.  The value of the Membership Interest subject to transfer or sale shall be deemed to be 80% of the product of the Percentage Interest represented by such Membership Interest multiplied by such Fair Market Value, reduced by the deficit if any, in the capital account of the Member whose Membership Interest is subject to transfer or sale.  All Members agree that the “discount” of 20% is a fair estimate of deferred costs and expenses, including without limitation income tax consequences to the Remaining Members, transfer taxes, etc. that would ultimately be incurred were the assets of the Company to be liquidated.
(b) In the event that within one hundred and twenty (120) days subsequent to the Transferring Member’s notice, the Manager fails to determine the Fair Market Value of the business of the Company, the Transferring Member or their representative shall appoint an appraiser and the Manager shall appoint a second appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of the Company, which shall be valued in accordance with Section 8.10(a).  If the two appraisers so appointed are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value of the Company within thirty days, but the values so determined differ by not more than ten percent of the lower value, the two values shall be averaged with the result being conclusive and binding upon all Members or their representatives.  If the values so determined by the two appraisers differ by more than ten percent of the lower value, the two appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser.  The Fair Market Value shall be determined by disregarding the appraiser’s valuation that diverges the greatest from each of the other two appraisers’ valuations, and the arithmetic mean of the remaining two appraisers’ valuations shall be the Fair Market Value.  All fees and expenses of each appraiser shall be an expense of the Transferring Member.
8.8
 In the event that the Company elects to purchase the Transferring Member’s Interest pursuant to Sections 8.6 and 8.7, the purchase price shall be payable over a period of five years in equal monthly installments of principal and interest, and the unpaid balance shall accrue interest at the simple annual rate of 5.0% per annum.  The first payment shall be due and payable thirty days subsequent to the date on which the Member or his Successor in Interest irrevocably transfers to the Company all of the interests in the Company being purchased.  The Company shall not be required to provide any security for the payment of the purchase price.
8.9
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, a prospective transferee (other than an existing Member) of a Membership Interest may be admitted as a Member with respect to such Membership Interest (Substituted Member) only  upon such prospective transferee’s executing a counterpart of this Agreement as a party hereto.  Any prospective transferee of a Membership Interest shall be deemed an Assignee, and, therefore, the owner of only an Economic Interest until such prospective transferee has been admitted as a Substituted Member.
8.10
Any person admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member shall be subject to all provisions of this Agreement.
8.11
Repurchase of Membership Units Based Upon the Replacement of Manager or Disagreement of Developer Investors with a Vote of a Majority Interest of the Members.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Majority in Interest may replace the Manager at any time, with a new Manager (including an affiliate of a Member) by delivering a 15-day notice to the current Manager.  The outgoing Manager shall cooperate with the incoming Manager to provide a smooth transition of operations.  If the Members exercise the right provided in this Section 8.11 to replace the Manager, the outgoing Manager may, at its election, require the Company to purchase all (but not less than all) of its Developer Investor Units for the consideration and on the terms and conditions set forth as follows.  After receipt of the notice required by this Section 8.11, the Manager will respond within 10 days with a value that it believes reasonably approximates the high end of the fair market value of the Property.  If the Majority in Interest of the Members believes that this price is not reasonable, the Members and the Manager shall attempt to agree on a value; if they cannot within 3 days, then both parties shall hire an appraiser to appraise the Property, to be completed within 15 days.  If the appraisals do not vary by more than 15%, then the Property value shall be the higher of the two appraisals.  If they do vary by more than 15%, then the Property value shall be the average of the two appraisals (the “Proposed Sale Price”).  The purchase price of the Developer Units (the “Purchase Price of the Developer Units”) shall be the greater of Three Million Dollars or the amount  that such Developer Units would have received (i) if the Company were liquidated at the time of the delivery of the notice hereunder and the Property had been sold for a purchase price of an amount equal to the Proposed Sale Price, net of reasonably estimated transaction costs (such as broker fees, title insurance premiums, and legal fees that would be incurred by the Company in connection with a sale of the Property), (ii) the proceeds of such sale are reduced by the aggregate state and local real estate transfer taxes that the Company would incur in connection with any such sale of the Property and the assets of the Company, (iii) such purchase price is then adjusted for standard proration amounts ordinarily taken into account in a sale of property similar to the Property in Oakland, California and the sale of the other assets of the Company and (iv) the proceeds of such sale and other assets of the Company had been used to repay all of the debts and obligations of the Company and then applied and distributed the balance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.5. The Company and Mackenzie, jointly and severally, shall be responsible for the payment of the repurchase of the Developer Units pursuant to this Section 8.11.
(b) If the Developer Investors in good faith disagree with any action taken by the Majority in Interest of the Members then the Developer Investors may provide written notice of such disagreement to the Company  if the Majority in Interest take such action then the Company and MacKenzie, jointly and severally, shall be required to repurchase the Developer Units from the Developer Investors for the Purchase Price of the Developer Units as set forth in Section 8.11(a) above.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement if MacKenzie intends to Transfer any of their Membership Interests or if they intend to wind up or dissolve, they must provide written notice to the Developer Investors of their intent to Transfer, wind up or dissolve.  The Developer Investors, in their sole and absolute discretion, shall have ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to exercise their rights pursuant to Sections 8.6 and 8.7 above or in the alternative exercise the option to have MacKenzie repurchase their Membership Interests pursuant for the Purchase Price of the Developer Units as set forth in Section 8.11(a) above.  Any Transfer of a Membership Interest in contravention of this Section shall be void.
8.12
The initial sale of Membership Interests in the Company to the Initial Members has not been qualified or registered under the securities laws of California, or of any state, or registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance upon exemptions from the registration provisions of those laws.  No attempt has been made to qualify the offering and sale of Membership Interests to Members under the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as amended, also in reliance upon an exemption from the requirement that a permit for issuance of securities be procured. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Membership Interests may not be Transferred or Encumbered unless registered or qualified under applicable state and federal securities law or unless, in the opinion of legal counsel satisfactory to the Company, such qualification or registration is not required.  The Member who desires to transfer a Membership Interest shall be responsible for all legal fees incurred in connection with said opinion.
ARTICLE IX: DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP
9.1
The Company shall be dissolved on the first to occur of the following events:
(a) The expiration of the term of existence of the Company if any.
(b) The determination by the Manager to dissolve the Company.
(c) The sale or other disposition of substantially all of the Company assets.
(d) Entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to California Corporations Code section 17707.03.
9.2
On the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall engage in no further business other than that necessary to wind up the business and affairs of the Company.  The Members who have not wrongfully dissolved the Company shall wind up the affairs of the Company.  The Persons winding up the affairs of the Company shall give written Notice of the commencement of winding up by mail to all known creditors and claimants against the Company whose addresses appear in the records of the Company.  After paying or adequately providing for the payment of all known debts of the Company including without limitation the First Indebtedness, and any other Additional Loan (except debts owing to Members and Contribution Loans) the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed or applied in the following order of priority:
(a) To pay the expenses of liquidation.
(b) To repay the Contribution Loans and any other outstanding loans from Members.  If there are insufficient funds to pay such loans in full, each Member shall be repaid in the ratio that the Member’s respective loan, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, bears to the total of all such loans from Members, including all interest accrued and unpaid on those loans.  Such repayment shall first be credited to accrued and unpaid interest due and the remainder shall be credited to principal.
(c) Among the Members in accordance with the provisions of Article IV.
9.3
Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of the Member’s investment (whether that investment consists of loans to the Company or one or more Capital Contributions or a combination of the two), and if the Company property remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return the investment of any Member, such Member shall have no recourse against the Manager or any other Members for indemnification, contribution, or reimbursement.
ARTICLE X: DISPUTE RESOLUTION
10.1
Dispute Resolution; Court Jurisdiction; Arbitration; Equitable Remedies. Disputes which arise between the Parties or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved as follows:
10.1.1 Arbitration.  Except as provided in Section 10.1.2, any claim, dispute or controversy of whatever nature arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any action or claim based on tort, contract or statute (including any claims of breach) or concerning the interpretation, effect, termination, validity, performance or breach of this Agreement (each, a “Claim”) shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) selected from and administered by JAMS, San Francisco, California (the “Administrator”), in accordance with its then existing arbitration rules or procedures regarding commercial or business disputes.

(a) The Arbitrator shall, within 15 calendar days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall NOT be authorized (i) to award non-economic damages, such as for emotional distress, pain and suffering or loss of consortium, (ii) to award punitive damages or (iii) to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the damage limitations described in parts (i) and (ii) of this sentence shall not apply if such damages are statutorily imposed. The Arbitrator also shall be authorized to grant any temporary, preliminary or permanent equitable remedy or relief they deem just and equitable and within the scope of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an injunction or order for specific performance.
(b) Each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator; provided, however, that the Arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing Party, and, if so, to award to that prevailing Party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.) or the fees and costs of the Administrator and the Arbitrator. Absent the filing of an application to correct or vacate the arbitration award under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1285 through 1288.8, each Party shall fully perform and satisfy the arbitration award within 15 days of the service of the award.
(c) By agreeing to this binding arbitration provision, the Parties understand that they are waiving certain rights and protections which may otherwise be available if a Claim between the parties were determined by litigation in court, including, without limitation, the right to seek or obtain certain types of damages precluded by this Section 10.1, the right to a jury trial, certain rights of appeal and a right to invoke formal rules of procedure and evidence.
10.1.2 Court Jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking (i) to enforce an arbitration award rendered pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.1.1 or (ii) to obtain or enforce any equitable remedy pursuant to Section 10.1.3 shall be brought in the California Superior Court for the County of San Francisco County or the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, as applicable under California and U.S. federal law, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of California. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such court (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding that is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

10.1.3 Equitable Remedies. Each Party hereto acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm to the other Parties for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and hereby agrees that, in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by such Party of any such obligations, each of the other Parties shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).
10.2 Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event of any litigation regarding any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs in addition to any other relief which may be granted.  The “Prevailing Party” shall mean the party receiving substantially the relief desired, whether by settlement, dismissal, summary judgment, judgment, or otherwise.  The attorneys’ fees award shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule but shall be such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred.  Such fees and costs shall include but not necessarily be limited to attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in (a) post-judgment motions, (b) contempt proceedings, (c) garnishment, levy and debtor and third-party examinations, (d) discovery, and (e) bankruptcy litigation.
