The LLC shall cooperate, and shall instruct the LLC Accountants to cooperate, with the Class B Accountants, and shall make available to the Class B Accountants the LLC's relevant work papers used in the calculation of Oregon FCF. The Class B Members shall deliver the Class B Accountant's calculation of Oregon FCF to the LLC within 60 days of the delivery of the LLC's calculation of Oregon FCF.

If the distributions to Class B Members during any Fiscal Year exceed the Oregon Member 4 FCF applicable to such Fiscal Year, then the Class B Members shall return any such excess to the LLC within 75 days after the end of such Fiscal Year.

No other profits or losses shall be allocated to the Class B Members.

Class B Members shall be permitted to make Transfers of Class B Membership Interests as provided in Section 7.1(b) of the Agreement. 15.5 Reorganization.

(b) If (i) the LLC terminates the employment of any Class B Member for Cause, or if (ii) such employment is terminated by such Class B Member (x) without Good Reason, or (y) pursuant to such Class B Member's election not to renew the Term in accordance with Section 1 of such Class B Member's Employment Agreement prior to the Outside Termination Date, then such Class B Member shall sell, and Wilmington shall purchase, all of such Class B Member's Class B Membership Points for a purchase price (payable to such Class B Member within 15 days after any such event occurs, such amount to accrue simple interest at the prime rate if unpaid at the end of such 15-day period until such amount is paid) equal to [ * ] multiplied by the Oregon Manager FCF for the twelve full calendar months immediately preceding the effective date of such termination multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Class B Membership Points then owned by such Class B Members, and the denominator of which is the total number of Class B Membership Points then outstanding.

Any and all determinations concerning any such termination of employment of a Class B Member shall be made pursuant to such applicable Employment Agreement. * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED 6 15.7 Execution of Agreement; Representations and Warranties.
