Requirements,unless Administrative Member has notified the Members in writing to the contrary
and Strategic Member has approved such deviation in writing.
Section 3.4 Election of Remedies. If a Member (the "Non-Contributing Member")
fails to make its share of any required capital contribution under Section 3.1, Section 3.2 or Section
3_3 within the prescribed time periods, then the portion thereof not contributed by such Non-
Contributing Member will be referred to herein as a"Deficiency". In the event of a Deficiency, if
the other Members have timely made their share of such required capital contribution (each, a
"Contributing Member"), they may, in their discretion, within sixty (60) days after the date the
Deficiency was required to be contributed, (A) revoke (and withdraw) their share of such
contribution, in which event such capital contribution shall be deemed cancelled and the
Contributing Members' shares refunded to them, or (B) loan to the Non-Contributing Member
such Deficiency by depositing the same into the Operating Account. If the Contributing Members
fail, within the prescribed time period, to deposit the Deficiency into the Operating Account, then
they shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (A) above and the Company shall
promptly return (or cause Escrow Agent to promptly return) to the Contributing Members their
share of such contribution. If there is more than one Contributing Member,the decision of Investor
or Sponsor shall control the foregoing, and if both Investor and Sponsor are Contributing
Members, their joint decision shall be required to act.
3.4.1 Default Loan. If the Contributing Members proceed under clause (B) of
Section 3.4 above, then the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to have contributed the
Deficiency to the Company and the loan (which shall be called a "Default Loan") shall bear
interest at the Applicable Rate and shall be due and payable by the Non-Contributing Member to
the Contributing Members(or their Affiliates, as the case may be)in full(together with all interest
which has accrued thereon) on the date which is ten (10) days after the date on which the
Contributing Members deposited such funds in the Operating Account(or with Escrow Agent) as
the case may be. If a Contributing Member so elects, in its discretion, the Contributing Member
may permit an Affiliate to make the Default Loan to the Non-Contributing Member.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.1 or any other provisions of this Agreement or any
11
DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
Collateral Agreement, the sum of(a) all distributions which would otherwise be made to the Non-
Contributing Member under this Agreement, and (b) any fees, reimbursements or other amounts
which would be payable to the Non-Contributing Member and/or any of its Affiliates under this
Agreement or any Collateral Agreement shall be paid instead to the Contributing Members (or
their Affiliates) that make such Default Loan until the Default Loan (and all interest thereon) has
been paid in full. Any such payments and distributions shall be deemed to have been paid or
distributed (as the case may be) to the Non-Contributing Member (or such Affiliate) and then
turned over in payment of such Default Loan (and shall not be treated as distributions to the
Contributing Members for any purpose under this Agreement). All payments shall be applied first
to interest and then to principal. If the Applicable Rate exceeds the maximum rate(the"Maximum
Rate") permissible under law, the Non-Contributing Member hereby agrees that the amount
payable with respect to the Default Loan in excess of the amount which would have been payable
had the Default Loan accrued interest at the Maximum Rate shall be deemed a payment of damages
to the Contributing Members arising from the Non-Contributing Member's failure to perform its
obligations under this Agreement, and such payment shall not be treated as an interest payment
accruing on the Default Loan.
3.4.2 Dilution. If a Non-Contributing Member fails to repay to the Contributing
Members any Default Loan in full within ten(10) days following the making of the Default Loan,
each Contributing Member may elect at any time thereafter, by written notice to the Non-
Contributing Member,to convert its portion of the Default Loan(including all accrued and unpaid
interest thereof) into an additional capital contribution, whereupon the Non-Contributing
Member's Company Percentage (and its capital account) shall be adjusted pursuant to this
Section 3.5.2 as of the day on which the Contributing Member makes such conversion election.
In such an event,the contribution of such funds shall be treated as an additional capital contribution
to the Company by the Contributing Member. To the extent a Contributing Member elects to
convert its Default Loan and the unpaid interest accrued thereon into an additional capital
contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4.2, the following shall apply:
A. The Company Percentage of the Non-Contributing Member shall be
reduced (but not below zero) by an amount equal to the product of(A) one and seventy-five one
hundredths (1.75), multiplied by (B) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, (x) the numerator of
which is the amount of the additional capital contribution which such Non-Contributing Member
fails to contribute and which is converted to a capital contribution by the Contributing Member
and(y)the denominator of which is the aggregate of all of the capital contributions made or to be
made by the Members up to and including such time,including the amount of the additional capital
contribution which such Non-Contributing Member failed to make and which are converted to
capital contributions of the Contributing Member hereunder.
B. The Company Percentage of the Contributing Member shall be
increased by the amount of the reduction in the Company Percentage of the Non-Contributing
Member; and
C. The capital accounts of the Members shall be adjusted as provided
in the Tax Appendix.

Section 3.5 Exclusivity of RemediesAdministrative Member. If the Non-Contributing
Member or its Affiliate is the Administrative Member,the rights of the Company and its Members
pursuant to Section 3.4 and Section 7.1 shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedies for a
failure of such Member to make a required capital contribution.
3.5.2 Other Members. With respect to other Members, the remedies set forth in
Section 3.4 shall be deemed the sole and exclusive remedy for a failure of such Member to make
a required capital contribution.
Section 3.6 Member Loans. No loan to the Company shall be made by a Member
without the prior written consent of Sponsor and Strategic Member.
Section 3.7 Maximum Member Funding.
3.7.1 In no event shall a Member be required to contribute capital or pay any other
amounts under this Agreement to the Company,or any Member to the extent that such contribution
or payment would cause the sum of the aggregate contributions and payments made by such
Member to exceed the amount as shown on Exhibit "E" (the "Maximum Contribution
Amount"); provided, however, that a Member may increase its Maximum Contribution Amount
as determined by such Member in its sole discretion.
3.7.2 The Members intend to form an additional entity to invest in an additional
property in the Project City and engage in a project with respect thereto that is similar to the Project
contemplated hereunder(the"Additional Project"). Each Member agrees that upon its admission
to such additional entity as a member, its Maximum Contribution Amount hereunder shall be
reduced by the maximum contribution amount of such Member under the limited liability company
agreement(or similar agreement) of such additional entity(the"Additional Entity Agreement").
Administrative Member shall make appropriate adjustments under this Agreement as may be
necessary or appropriate to effect the intent of this Section 3.7.2, including adjustments to the
respective Company Percentages of each Member set forth on Exhibit"E". The Members intend
to treat the Project and the Additional Project as a single venture for purposes of their respective
capital contributions with respect thereto and therefore agree that Administrative Member and
Strategic Member may mutually consent in writing to further adjust the Members' Maximum
Contribution Amounts as may be necessary or advisable to allocate funds between the Project and
the Additional Project; provided that, in no event shall a Member be required to contribute any
amount under this Agreement or the Additional Entity Agreement that exceeds in the aggregate
the Maximum Contribution Amount initially set forth opposite such Member's name on Exhibit
"E" without the specific written consent of such Member.

made, Sponsor, at Strategic Member's request, shall prepare a Periodic Report if the then current
Periodic Report does not coincide with the timing of the distribution,and the Periodic Report shall
include a calculation by Administrative Member of the amount of the distribution amount for such
month and a calculation by Administrative Member of the respective distributions to the Members
pursuant to this Article IV (such calculation of the distributions to be made as of the date when
the distribution amount is anticipated to be distributed by the Company). Administrative
Member's calculation shall not be binding and may be modified by Strategic Member any time

conform to the Requirements.

example, if the Project Budget is changed to provide for a contract under Section 5.1.2B, then the
contract remains subject to approval under Section 5.1.2D). In addition, the fact that such event
is contemplated by the Business Plan shall not relieve Administrative Member of its obligation to
obtain consent for a Major Decision(for example, consent shall be required to enter into a contract
to sell all or any portion of the Property even though the sale is contemplated by the Business
Plan).

DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
days, to resolve such disagreement. In addition, subject to any limitations set forth in Article X,
the Proposing Member shall have the rights to implement a Forced Sale under Article X.
B. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, if (a) a Material Change has occurred, and (b) Strategic Member and Administrative
Member do not agree in writing on any Major Decision for a period of fifteen (15) days (but if a
decision must be made in order to meet a deadline or Strategic Member otherwise determines in
its good faith judgment that a matter is urgent, then such period shall be reduced to three (3)
Business Days), then after written notice from Strategic Member: (1) the decision of Strategic
Member regarding such Major Decision shall be final and binding on the Company and not subject
to any challenge or appeal; (2) Strategic Member shall have the right, acting alone, to require
Sponsor(in its capacity as Member or Administrative Member)to implement such Major Decision
on behalf of the Company; and (3) such Major Decision (which has been approved by Strategic

Property by a third party or any governmental entity, and Strategic Member, in the exercise of its
reasonable discretion, estimates that the damages may exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars
($25,000) or more;
(v) Any condemnation preceding is pending which will prohibit
the ability to get approval for all of the Project Quantity of single-family residential lots comprising
the Project or will otherwise materially impair the value of the Property;

Property; or
18

granting Administrative Member sole authority to sign) shall be required for all contracts
(including documents related to the sale, financing or transfer of any portion of the assets of the
Company) entered into by or on behalf of the Company; provided, however, that, only
Administrative Member's signature will be required for contracts and agreements relating to work

there is a contract between the Company,on the one hand,and Administrative Member or Strategic
Member or an Affiliate of such Member, on the other hand, then that Member as between

such contract (the "Non-Contracting Member") shall have the right unilaterally (but not the
obligation) to make any decision by the Company (as party to the contract) to exercise any right
or remedy by reason of a default under, or terminate, extend, modify or agree to a waiver or
forbearance of, such contract. Any other approval, consent or other determination to be made by
the Company under such contract shall be subject to the approval of both Administrative Member
and Strategic Member. If a contract with an Affiliate is terminated, any substitute contract shall
be with a third party approved by Administrative Member and Strategic Member or with an
Affiliate of the Non-Contracting Member.
5.1.7 Additional Strategic Member Rights. In addition to other rights of Strategic
Member, Strategic Member and its agents and representatives shall have the right, at any time and

giving Administrative Member the authority to take any action or refrain from taking any action,
or to cause the Company to take any action or refrain from taking any action, shall be interpreted
to give Administrative Member the identical authority with respect to the appropriate Company
Subsidiary, or (b) imposing any duty or responsibility on Administrative Member, or limiting
Administrative Member's authority, with respect to the Company shall be interpreted to impose
the identical duty,responsibility or limitation on authority on Administrative Member with respect
to the applicable Company Subsidiary. By way of example and not of limitation, to the extent
any act, omission, decision or agreement with regard to the Company would constitute a Major
Decision, any such action with regard to a Company Subsidiary shall also constitute a Major
Decision hereunder.
Section 5.4 Other Activities. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement
or in any agreement among one or more of the Members or their Affiliates: (a) each Member
recognizes that the other Members have an interest in investing in, entitling, developing,

for profit, and engaging in any and all activities related or incidental thereto and that each will
make other investments consistent with such interests; (b) neither the Company nor any Member
22
DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to any
other ventures or activities in which any Member is involved or to the income or proceeds derived
therefrom; (c) the pursuit of other ventures and activities by any Member, even if competitive with
the business of the Company and an opportunity which would otherwise have benefited the
Company, is hereby consented to by the other Members and shall not be deemed wrongful or
improper; (d)no Member and no Affiliate of a Member shall be obligated to present any particular
investment opportunity to the Company, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if
presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company; and (e) each Member and each
Affiliate of a Member shall have the right to take for its own account, or to recommend to others,
any such particular investment opportunity.
Section 5.5 Liability of Members. Subject to the provisions of any other agreement to
which the Members are parties, and except for the obligations to a Member or Members or the
Company imposed under such other agreement, no Member shall be liable, responsible or
accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or the other Member for any action taken or
failure to act by such Member in its business judgment on behalf of the Company within the scope
of the authority conferred on it by this Agreement unless such action or omission constitutes a
matter as to which such Member is obligated to indemnify the Company under Section 5.8. Unless
otherwise agreed upon in writing by the Members,to the fullest extent permitted by the Act: (a) no
Member shall be liable for the debts, liabilities,contracts or any other obligations of the Company,
(b)the Members shall be liable to make contributions (or, if applicable, loans) only to the extent
required under this Agreement, (c)without limitation on the foregoing, except as approved by the
Members, any indemnification obligation of the Company hereunder shall be limited to the assets
of the Company, and (d) no Member shall have personal liability for the repayment of the
contributions or loans of any other Member to the Company, except as may be expressly required
under this Agreement. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement,nothing in this Agreement
shall confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any person or entity
other than the Members and their respective successors and assigns, nor shall anything in this
Agreement relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third person to any party to this
Agreement, nor shall any provision of this Agreement give any third person any right of
subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement. Without limitation on the
foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, no third party shall have any right to enforce
any contribution obligation on a Member.
Section 5.6 Indemnity of Members. The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold each Member harmless from and against any
Company liabilities for which it is alleged to be responsible (and any Claim/Loss resulting from
such allegations suffered or sustained by it) by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or
omissions by such Member on behalf of the Company within the scope of authority conferred on
it by this Agreement or by reason of the fact that such Member is a Member of the Company;
provided that the acts or omissions or alleged acts or omissions upon which such actual or
threatened action, proceeding or claim is based were in good faith in accordance with its business
judgment and did not constitute a matter as to which such Member is obligated to indemnify the
Company under Section 5.8.
Section 5.7 Indemnification by Sponsor. Sponsor (in its capacity as Member and
Administrative Member)shall,to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,indemnify,defend

and hold the Company, the other Members, and the assets of the Company, harmless from and
against any and all Claim/Loss suffered or sustained by it by reason of any act or omission
constituting (a)breach or default by Sponsor (in any capacity, such as in the capacity of
Administrative Member) or any Affiliate under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement
(including a breach of any representation or warranty by Sponsor or any Affiliate under this
Agreement or any Collateral Agreement), or(b) Bad Conduct by Sponsor or any Affiliate.
Section 5.8 Contractual Duties Prevail. The express provisions of this Agreement, only
to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Member otherwise existing at law or in
equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Member.
Section 5.9 Strategic Member Approvals. Strategic Member's approval of any matter
in connection with this Agreement shall be for the sole purpose of protecting Strategic Member's
and its Affiliates investments in the Company, and shall not constitute a waiver of any default by
Administrative Member or its Affiliates under this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement(unless
such waiver is expressly made by Strategic Member in writing with specific reference to such
default and agreement) or a representation by Strategic Member of any kind with regard to the
matter being approved; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Administrative
Member's right to rely on any written approval of Strategic Member under this Agreement as
constituting Strategic Member's approval under this Agreement. Strategic Member is under no
duty to visit any portion of the Property or to supervise or observe construction, remediation or
other activity or to examine any books or records. No site visit, observation or examination by
Strategic Member shall impose any liability on Strategic Member, result in any waiver of any
default by Administrative Member under this Agreement, or constitute a representation that any
of the assets of the Company complies or will comply with any of the Requirements. Neither
Administrative Member nor any other parry is entitled to rely on any site visit, observation or
examination by Strategic Member, and Strategic Member assumes no personal responsibility for
any conformation or any negligent or defective design or construction or remediation. Strategic

Plan and Operating Budget. If with respect to any Budget Request all or any portion of an updated
Business Plan and/or Project Budget is not timely submitted,or if timely submitted,is not approved

ARTICLE VI
TRANSFER OF COMPANY INTERESTS.
Section 6.1 Restrictions on Transfer.
6.1.1 Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Section 6.1.1 and
Section 6.1.2, no sale, exchange, delivery, assignment, disposition, encumbrance, pledge,
hypothecation or other transfer, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law, or resulting
25
DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
from death, disability or otherwise (a "Transfer") shall be made by Sponsor (in its capacity as
Member or Administrative Member) of the whole or any part of its interest in the Company
(including its interest in the capital or profits of the Company)without the prior written consent of
Strategic Member. For all purposes of this Agreement, an involuntary Transfer shall include the
entry of a final order of a court in a divorce proceeding that is not subject to appeal, directing
transfer of an interest in the Company,or any other Transfer occasioned by a separation agreement
or a divorce proceeding that is not subject to appeal.
6.1.2 Sponsor shall ensure that no Transfer shall be made of any direct or indirect
interest in the Company(and no issuance of additional ownership interests in Sponsor shall occur)
without the prior written consent of Strategic Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and
without the need for consent from Strategic Member, Sponsor shall be permitted to Transfer its
interest to an Affiliate and indirect Transfers by means of Transfer of an interest (or issuance of
additional ownership interests) in Sponsor shall be permitted so long as the Sponsor
Ownership/Control Requirements remain satisfied. With respect to any Transfers requiring
Strategic Member's consent, Strategic Member shall be provided with not less than thirty (30)
days prior written notice of such Transfer(excluding from the death of a Key Individual),together
with such other information as Strategic Member may reasonably require to confirm such Transfer
complies with the provisions of this Agreement(including, without limitation, this Section 6.1).
6.1.3 Investor shall not Transfer its direct interest in the Company without the
prior written consent of Sponsor, as determined in its reasonable discretion; provided, however,
that Investor shall not be restricted or limited in any manner whatsoever (a) with respect to
pledging, encumbering or leveraging its interest in the Company, (b) after Sponsor is removed or
terminated as Administrative Member(with or without cause), and(c) with respect to any indirect
transfers of its interest in the Company (including, without limitation, the issuance of additional
ownership interests in Investor, transfer of partnership interests in Investor or replacement of the
general partner of Investor). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Investor shall be permitted to
Transfer its direct interest in the Company to an Affiliate.
6.1.4 No Transfer in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or effective
for any purpose, and no consent to one or more Transfers shall be deemed consent to any other
Transfer.
Section 6.2 Effect of Assignment; Documents. In the event of any Transfer permitted
hereunder, subject to Article VIII, the Company shall not be dissolved but instead shall continue
as before, with, however, the addition or substitution of such transferee or assignee as a Member
of the Company. No such Transfer shall relieve the assignor from any of its obligations under this
Agreement without the prior approval of Strategic Member and Administrative Member (which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld as to obligations assumed by an assignee provided,
among other matters, the assignment is permitted hereunder and Strategic Member and
Administrative Member are reasonably satisfied that the assignee is sufficiently creditworthy to
timely satisfy such obligations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to any sale or
assignment by a Member, the assignee must execute and deliver to Strategic Member and
Administrative Member on behalf of the Company an assumption (in form reasonably approved
by Strategic Member and Administrative Member) of all the obligations of the assignor under this
Agreement with respect to such Transferred interest arising from and after the date of such
26
DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
assignment. Upon execution and delivery of such assumption, the Members shall execute a
document in form reasonably approved by Strategic Member and Administrative Member
evidencing the admission of such transferee.
ARTICLE VII
CERTAIN REMEDIES.
Section 7.1 Termination of Management Rights.
7.1.1 Termination Notice with Cause. Strategic Member may deliver a
termination notice to Sponsor ("Termination Notice") removing Sponsor as Administrative
Member upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
A. Any Bad Conduct by Sponsor or any Bad Conduct of Sponsor's
Affiliates if such Affiliate is a party to a Collateral Agreement.
B. Any material breach of this Agreement or any Collateral Agreement
by Sponsor (in its capacity as Member or Administrative Member) or any of its Affiliates which
is not cured within the Cure Period (or, without limitation on the foregoing, the Company or any
Member has not been made whole prior to the expiration of the Cure Period); or,without limitation
on the foregoing, (a) the failure by Sponsor to timely make a required contribution under Article
III or(b)a material unintentional breach of a representation or warranty by Sponsor(in its capacity
as Member or Administrative Member)or its Affiliates hereunder or under a Collateral Agreement
which, in the case of subclause (b), has a material adverse effect on the Company or the Project,
and if able to be cured, is not cured within the Cure Period.
C. The occurrence of a Bankruptcy/Dissolution Event with respect to
Sponsor or the failure to satisfy the Sponsor Ownership/Control Requirement.
7.1.2 Procedure. The Termination Notice shall specify the basis for the same and
shall become effective immediately. The parties acknowledge that Administrative Member shall
not have the right to dispute the effectiveness of its removal pursuant to any Termination Notice
irrespective of whether such Termination Notice states that removal is given under Section 7.1.1,
it being acknowledged and agreed that if any Termination Notice is given under Section 7.1.1, and
Administrative Member disputes whether or not it was properly delivered, then the removal will
nonetheless be effective. Sponsor (in its capacity as Member and Administrative Member)
acknowledges and agrees that(i) Sponsor shall not attempt to obtain injunctive relief or any other
remedy available at law or equity to interfere with or delay the removal of Sponsor(in its capacity
as Administrative Member), (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, any court proceeding or arbitration
initiated by Sponsor disputing whether the Termination Notice was properly delivered under
Section 7.1.1 shall not stay or otherwise inhibit or impair the effectiveness of the removal of
Sponsor (in its capacity as Administrative Member) (which removal shall occur on upon the
delivery of the Termination Notice by Strategic Member), and (iii) if Sponsor breaches the
foregoing, then Strategic Member shall have the right to file a copy of this Section (or the entire
Agreement) in any proceeding as conclusive evidence of the Members' intent. The foregoing is
not intended to imply that Sponsor is not entitled to assert and maintain a claim for damages based
27
DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
on wrongful termination. In addition, if Sponsor initiates a claim for wrongful termination, the
amounts that would have been distributed to Sponsor had Sponsor not been removed as
Administrative Member shall be held in one of the Accounts until such time as (A) a judgment has
been rendered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other binding resolution with respect to such
dispute, or (B) such dispute has otherwise been dismissed, resolved, settled or otherwise
terminated. For avoidance of doubt, Strategic Member shall be permitted (a)to cause the
Company to distribute all other Distributable Cash under Article IV or Article VIII, as the case
may be, at any time and without being restricted in any manner under this Section 7.1.2, and(b)to
cause the Company to distribute those amounts which would have been distributed to Sponsor to
those Persons then entitled thereto (i.e., the Persons entitled to such Distributable Cash after
Sponsor is removed as Administrative Member) at any time that no dispute is pending(even if the
applicable period and/or statute of limitations for initiating an action or filing an appeal have not
then expired).
7.1.3 Effect of Termination Notice. When a Termination Notice becomes
effective, then:
A. Strategic Member or its designee shall become Administrative
Member with all the power and authority previously possessed by Sponsor as Administrative
Member; and Sponsor shall remain a Member in the Company, but (notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement)with no power, authority or right to vote,approve or act for or bind
the Company in any capacity (as Administrative Member, Sponsor or otherwise) with respect to
any matter in connection with the Company or its operation (and, without limitation, Sponsor(in
its capacity as Member, Administrative Member or otherwise) shall have no further rights under
Section 5.1.2). In addition, Sponsor shall not have any rights under Article X.
B. Any sums distributable or payable to Sponsor or its Affiliates shall
be offset against any damages due the Company or the other Members from Sponsor and its
Affiliates and shall be paid instead to the Company or the other Members in such order as Strategic
Member shall determine (but shall be deemed to have been distributed or paid to Sponsor or its
Affiliates and then paid over to the Company or such other Members, as the case may be, until
such damages have been fully offset).
C. Sponsor shall execute and acknowledge any required amendments
to this Agreement reflecting the foregoing, in such form and content as Strategic Member may
reasonably prescribe. In addition, Sponsor hereby constitutes Strategic Member as its true and
lawful attorney in fact, on its behalf and in its stead,with full power of substitution,to execute and
acknowledge any such amendment. This power of attorney shall be deemed coupled with an
interest and shall not be revoked by Sponsor's dissolution, insolvency or otherwise.
D. Sponsor shall not be responsible for any obligation of
Administrative Member under this Agreement first accruing after the Termination Notice becomes
effective other than the obligations that would apply to Sponsor under this Agreement regardless
of its status as Administrative Member, including contribution obligations.
E. Subject to Section 7.1.4, the distributions shall be distributed to the
Members in accordance with their Company Percentages (i.e., Sponsor shall not be entitled to the
28
DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
distributions which Sponsor would have received); and no further fees or reimbursements (other
than the reimbursements otherwise properly payable under this Agreement) shall be payable to
Sponsor as Administrative Member.
F. Sponsor shall forthwith: (i) deliver to Strategic Member a final
accounting; (ii) surrender and deliver to Strategic Member all income and deposits relating to the
Project and other monies of the Company held by, or under the control of Sponsor; (iii) deliver to
Strategic Member, as received, any monies due the Company received after such removal;
(iv) deliver to Strategic Member all materials, plans, specifications, supplies, keys, leases,
contracts and documents, all other accounting papers and records of the Company and all books
and records in hard copy and electronic format, receipts for deposits, bills and other materials in
Sponsor's possession that relate to the Company or their respective assets (including hard and
electronic copies of all data files used in any software programs by Administrative Member); and
(v) execute and deliver to Strategic Member a notice to third parties directly involved with the
Property in form reasonably satisfactory to Strategic Member to the effect that Sponsor is no longer
Administrative Member.
7.1.4 Replacement Administrative Member. If Sponsor is removed as or
otherwise ceases to be Administrative Member, Strategic Member shall have the right to admit a
new Member (which new Member may be an Affiliate of Strategic Member) to the Company to
function as a replacement Administrative Member and to receive distributions and reimbursements
as determined by Strategic Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,all Members
shall execute and deliver such amendments to this Agreement as Strategic Member may reasonably
request in order to implement the foregoing.
Section 7.2 No Partition. Each Member hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights
that it may have to maintain any action for partition of any of the assets of the Company.
Section 7.3 Cumulative Remedies. Subject to the limitations expressly herein set forth
(including Section 3.6),no remedy conferred upon the Company or any Member in this Agreement
is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. Without limiting the foregoing, Sponsor, in its
capacity as Administrative Member, shall be liable to the Company and the Members for any
Claim/Loss resulting from a breach of their respective duties under this Agreement and any
Collateral Agreement.
Section 7.4 Attorneys' Fees. If the Company or any Member obtains a judgment against
any other Member in connection with a dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement,
such party shall be entitled to recover its court costs, and reasonable attorneys' fees (including the
reasonable value of in-house attorney services) and disbursements incurred in connection
therewith and in any appeal or enforcement proceeding thereafter, including any bankruptcy
proceeding (and any action for relief from the automatic stay of any bankruptcy proceeding), in
addition to all other recoverable costs.
Section 7.5 No Waiver. No waiver by a Member or the Company of any breach of this
Agreement or any Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other breach of any
29
DocuSign Envelope ID:86884576-B5DD-45C7-A92C-64C5008028D9
kind or nature, and no acceptance of payment or performance by a Member or the Company after
any such breach shall be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or any Collateral
Agreement, whether or not such Member or the Company knows of such breach at the time it
accepts such payment or performance. No failure or delay on the part of a Member or the Company
to exercise any right it may have by reason of any breach of this Agreement or any Collateral
Agreement shall prevent the exercise thereof by such Member or the Company at any time and no
such failure or delay shall operate as a waiver of any such breach.
Section 7.6 No Suretyship Defenses. Each Member hereby unconditionally waives any
guarantor or suretyship defense that may otherwise apply with respect to this Agreement
(including Section 4.2, 7.1.1 and 7.1.3).
ARTICLE VIII

Section 8.1 Events Giving Rise to Dissolution. No act, thing, occurrence, event or

and to liquidate their respective investments. The Members shall continue to share profits, losses,

contained shall relieve any Member of such Member's obligation to make the capital contributions
herein provided or to pay any liability or indebtedness owing the Company or the other Members

delivered to the Proposing Member is the "Offer Acceptance Date") or(ii)permit the Proposing
Member to cause the Company to sell the Project. Failure of the Disapproving Member to respond

Disapproving Member shall have two (2) Business Days following the Offer Acceptance Date to
post a non-refundable deposit in an amount equal to ten percent (10%)of the Proposed Sales Price,

preferred buyer being HHIF VI, LLC.

with a mix of single and two story plans, where the homebuyer has the option to select the plan
and the lot. Plans are anticipated to range from 1800 to 3000 sf living area, 2 and 3 car garages.
3. Market Summary: The greater Boise market is entering a phase of significant
growth, fueled by relatively affordable housing, a strong local economy, low taxes, abundant
recreational opportunities surrounding Boise, and a sunny-dry climate. The City of Meridian is
considered one of the best submarkets in greater Boise, due to its easy-commute central location,
good schools, and new infrastructure. Boise's promising future is evident by the national public
homebuilders that are now establishing operations there: Lennar, Richmond American, and KB
Homes. Toll Brothers has had a presence in Boise for several years from its acquisition of Coleman
Homes.
