The foregoing notwithstanding, any party to this Agreement may request a court of competent jurisdiction to issue such temporary orders as may be necessary or appropriate to prevent irreparable harm. No such application to a court shall be deemed a waiver of the party's right to arbitrate. C. Further, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 17.10, upon the purchase of any Membership Interests of a Member by the Company or other Member(s) pursuant to this Agreement, if payment of any portion of the Purchase Price for such Membership Interest is deferred, the Transferring Member or his or her successors may exercise any and all rights and remedies available under law or under any pledge agreement or security agreement entered into.by the parties to secure payment of such obligations with respect to any collateral or security, including but not limited to offset, self-help, sale or other disposition of collateral, 120963.0001l1353665.1 20 attachment; injunction, appointment of a receiver, judicial foreclosure or foreclosure by power of sale. No exercise of any such rights and remedies by the Selling Member or his or her successors shall be deemed a waiver of the party's right to arbitrate. d. In the event that the Members are in disagreement over use of the Property or rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Arbitrator may use remedies such as: (i) charging fees to the Member in violation of this Agreement; (ii) expelling a Member; or (iii) such other remedies as the Arbitrator deems appropriate, in his or her sole discretion. 17.11 Attorneys' Fees. In the event of a dispute between the Manager and Members, or the Members arising out of this Agreement, which is arbitrated or litigated, the non-prevailing party shall pay the reasonable costs and attorneys' fees of the prevailing party, including the reasonable costs and attorneys' fees incurred in the appeal of any final or interlocutory judgment. 17.12 Reasonableness. Whenever the consent or approval of a Member is required under this Agreement, the same shall be given in a timely manner and shall not be unreasonably withheld. 17.13 Investment Representations. The Membership Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Act of Washington or any other state securities laws (collectively, the "Securities Acts") because the Company is issuing the Membership Interests in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Acts, and the Company is relying upon the fact that the Membership Interests are to be held by each Member for investment. Accordingly, each Member hereby confirms that they acquired the Membership Interests for such Member's own account and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof. Each Member acknowledges that the.Membership Interests may not be offered or sold to anyone unless there is an effective registration or other qualification relating thereto under all applicable Securities Acts or unless such Member delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel, satisfactory to the Company, that such registration or other qualification is not required. The Members understand that the Company is under no obligation to register the Membership Interests or to assist any Member in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Acts. 120963.0001l1353665.1 21 Executed by the undersigned Members as of the date first written above.
