Any Net Loss reallocated under this Section 7.2 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Net Income and Losses pursuant to this Section 7, so that the net amount of any item so allocated and the Net Income and Losses allocated to each Member pursuant to this Section 7, to the extent possible, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to this Section 7 if no reallocation of Net Losses had occurred under this Section 7.2.

7.3.     Special Allocation Provisions. Notwithstanding Section 7.1:

7.3.1.     Minimum Gain Charge Back. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member or Economic Interest Owner shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, in subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to the portion of such Member’s or holder’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to a Nonrecourse Liability, which share of such net decrease shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.3.1 shall be made in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to each Member and Economic Interest Owner under this Section 7. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 7.3.1 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

7.3.2.     Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, during any Fiscal Year, each Member or Economic Interest Owner who has a share of the Company Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt (which share shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, in subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to that portion of such Member’s or holder’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to such Member Nonrecourse Debt (which share of such net decrease shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5)). Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.3.2 shall be made in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to each Member and Economic Interest Owner under this Section 7.3.2. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This Section 7.3.2 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement contained in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

 

7.3.3.     Nonrecourse Deductions. Any nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Members and Economic Interest Owners in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

7.3.4.     Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Those items of Company loss, deduction, or Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures which are attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Member or Economic Interest Owner who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such items are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

7.3.5.     Qualified Income Offset. If a Member or Economic Interest Owner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), or any other event creates a deficit balance in such Member’s or holder’s Capital Account in excess of such Member’s or holder’s share of Company Minimum Gain, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member or holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such excess deficit balance as quickly as possible. Any special allocations of items of income and gain pursuant to this Section 7.3.5 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of income and gain pursuant to Section 7, so that the net amount of any item so allocated and the income, gain, and losses allocated to each Member and Economic Interest Owner pursuant to Section 7 to the extent possible, shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member and Economic Interest Owner pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.3.5 if such unexpected adjustments, allocations, or distributions had not occurred.

7.4.     Code Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 7, in accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction 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 fair market value on the date of the contribution. Allocations pursuant to Section 7.3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes. As such, they shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing a Member’s Capital Account or share of profits, losses, or other items of distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

7.5.     Allocation of Net Income and Loss and Distributions on Transferred Interest. If any Economic Interest is transferred, or is increased or decreased by reason of the admission of a new Member or otherwise, during any Fiscal Year, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit of the Company for such Fiscal Year shall be assigned pro rata to each day in the particular period of such Fiscal Year to which such item is attributable (i.e., the day on or during which it is accrued or otherwise incurred) and the amount of each such item so assigned to any such day shall be allocated to the Member based upon his, her or its respective Economic Interest at the close of such day. Notwithstanding any provision above to the contrary, gain or loss of the Company realized in connection with any Capital Transaction shall be allocated solely to the parties owning Economic Interests as of the date such Capital Transaction occurs.

 

 

7.6.     Recapture Chargeback. In the event the Company has taxable income chargeable as ordinary income under the recapture provisions of the Code, each Member’s share of taxable gain or loss as a result of gain from sales shall be allocated, to the extent possible, pro rata among the Members who received depreciation or cost recovery allocations which gave rise to the recapture income until the amount of such prior allocations has been charged back to such Members.

7.7.     Adjustment to Basis. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of and Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Treasury Regulations.

7.8.     Obligations of Members to Report Allocations. The Members acknowledge and agree to the allocations made by this Section 7 and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 7 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

If such settlement requires SHU or SHU’s Affiliates to advance funds SHU is to receive under Section 8.2.1(a) above or from SHU’s or SHU’s Affiliates’ separate funds prior to the time sufficient funds are deposited in said escrow reserve account pursuant to this Section 8.2.1(b), such advanced funds shall be reimbursed to SHU and/or its Affiliates as and when funds are deposited in said escrow reserve account after all amounts required to be paid to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to said settlement are made in full. If after all amounts required to be paid to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ pursuant to said settlement are made in full and all advanced funds are reimbursed to SHU and/or its Affiliates, as applicable, then any remaining escrow reserve funds and any interest thereon shall be distributed to SPI and HPL in equal amounts and credited against the Notes or, if all amounts of principal and interest under the Notes have been paid in full, distributed pursuant to Section 8.2.2 below.

Within thirty (30) days after the fair market value of the Former Member’s Interest has been determined in accordance with Section 10.3, each Remaining Member shall notify the Company in writing of his, her or its desire to purchase a portion of the Former Member’s Interest. The failure of any Remaining Member to submit a notice within the applicable period shall constitute an election on the part of the Remaining Member not to purchase any of the Former Member’s Interest. Each Remaining Member so electing to purchase shall be entitled to purchase a portion of the Former Member’s Interest in the same proportion that the Membership Interest of the Remaining Member bears to the aggregate of the Membership Interests of all of the Purchasing Members.

11.4.     Tax Matters Member. The Members shall from time to time cause the Company to make such tax elections as they deem to be in the best interests of the Company and the Members. SPI shall be the “Tax Matters Partner”, as defined in Code Section 6231.

12.     Dissolution and Winding Up.

12.1.     Conditions of Dissolution. The Company shall dissolve upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

12.1.1.     The happening of any event of dissolution specified in the Certificate;

12.1.2.     The unanimous vote of the Members in favor of dissolution;

12.1.3.     The occurrence of a Dissolution Event and the decision of the Remaining Members to dissolve the Company within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event; or

12.1.4.     The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Company.

12.2.     Winding Up. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Company’s assets shall be disposed of and its affairs wound up in accordance with the Act.

12.3.     Order of Payment of Liabilities, Distribution of Assets, Upon Dissolution. After determining that all known debts and liabilities of the Company in the process of winding-up, including, without limitation, debts and liabilities to Members who are creditors of the Company, have been paid or adequately provided for, after payment of any remaining unpaid principal or interest under either of the Notes, the remaining assets shall be liquidated and the proceeds distributed, after taking into account Net Income and Loss allocations for the Company’s taxable year during which the liquidation occurs, to the Members in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances. Such liquidating distributions shall be made by the earlier of (i) the end of the Company’s taxable year in which the Company is liquidated; or (ii) ninety (90) days after the date of such liquidation.

 

 

12.4.     Limitations on Payments Made in Dissolution. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member shall be entitled to look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of the Member’s positive Capital Account balance and shall have no recourse for his, her or its Capital Contribution and/or share of Company profits against any other Member, except as provided in Section 13.

12.5.     Distributions in Kind. Any non-cash asset distributed to one or more Members or Economic Interest Owners shall first be valued at its fair market value to determine the amount of gain or loss that would have resulted if such asset were sold for such value, such gain or loss shall then be allocated pursuant to the provisions hereof, and the Members’ or Economic Interest Owners’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted to reflect such allocations. The amount deemed to have been distributed with regard to the asset shall be the fair market value of such asset (net of any liability secured by such asset that such Member or Economic Interest Owner assumes or takes subject to). The fair market value of such asset shall be determined by a Majority in Interest or, if any Member objects, by an independent appraiser (any such appraiser must be recognized as an expert in valuing the type of asset involved) approved by a Majority in Interest.

12.6.     No Action for Dissolution. Except as expressly permitted in this Agreement, a Member or Economic Interest Owner shall not take any voluntary action that causes a Dissolution Event. The Members and Economic Interest Owners acknowledge that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill reputation of the Company if any Member or Economic Interest Owner should bring an action in court to dissolve the Company under circumstances where dissolution is not required or expressly permitted herein. This Agreement provides fair treatment of all parties and equitable payment in liquidation. Accordingly, except where the Members have failed to liquidate the Company as required by this Section 12, each Member and Economic Interest Owner hereby waives and renounces his, her or its right to initiate legal action to seek the appointment of a receiver or trustee to liquidate the Company or seek a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company on the ground that (i) it is not reasonable practicable to carry on the Business of the Company in conformity with the Certificate or this Agreement; or (ii) dissolution is reasonably necessary for the protection of the rights or interests of the complaining Member or Economic Interest Owner. Damages for breach of this Selection 12.6 shall be monetary damages only (and not specific performance), and the damages may be offset against distributions by the Company to which such Member or Economic Interest Owner would otherwise be entitled.

13.     Indemnification of Agents.

13.1.     Indemnification of Members and Managers. The Company, its receiver, or its trustee shall indemnify and hold harmless the Managers and their Affiliates, and each of them, and each of their employees, agents, representatives and successors, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against any loss, expense, damage, claim, liability, expense or injury suffered or sustained by them because of any act or omission arising out of their activities on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company or their status as a Manager, or agent of the Company, including, without limitation, any judgment, award, settlement, attorneys’ fees, and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding, or claim, regardless of whether the indemnified party ceases to act in the capacity at the time the liability or expense is paid or incurred and regardless of the identity of the party bringing the claim or action. Reasonable expenses incurred by an indemnified party in connection with the foregoing matters, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceedings. A Person shall not be denied indemnification hereunder because such Person had an interest in the action to which the indemnification applies, if the Person is otherwise entitled to indemnity hereunder.

 

 

13.2.     Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding Section 13.1 above, no Person shall be entitled to or shall receive indemnification in respect to any matters that proximately result from the Person’s fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct or the Person’s material breach of this Agreement, unless, and only to the extent that, a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that, despite the misconduct of such Person, under the circumstances, the Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for those expenses that the court shall deem proper.

13.3.     Indemnification on Successful Defense. To the extent that the Person entitled to indemnification is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in Section 13.1, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify the Person against the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

13.4.     Insurance. The Company shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was an agent of the Company against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any such capacity, or arising out of such Person’s status as an agent of the Company.

14.     Miscellaneous.

14.1.     Counsel to SPI. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Chediak ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Law Corporation (“WT”) has acted as legal counsel for SPI in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and does not represent the Company, HPL or SHU. In the event any dispute or controversy arises between any Members or between any Members and the Company, then WT may represent SPI in any such dispute or controversy to the extent permitted by the California Rules of Professional Conduct, and each Member hereby consents to such representation, individually and as a Manager on behalf of the Company.

14.2.     Entire Agreement. This document constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, all oral agreements being merged herein, and supersedes all prior representations. There are no representations, agreements, arrangements, or understandings, oral or written, between or among the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement that are not fully expressed herein.

 

 

14.3.     Interpretation. All pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, or neuter, singular or plural, as the context in which they are used may require. All headings herein are inserted only for convenience and ease of reference and are not being considered in the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. Numbered or lettered articles, sections and subsections herein contained refer to articles, sections and subsections of this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly stated. In the event any claim is made by any Member relating to any conflict, omission or ambiguity in this Agreement, no presumption or burden of proof or persuasion shall be implied by virtue of the fact that this Agreement was prepared by or at the request of a particular Member or his, her or its counsel.

14.4.     Jurisdiction. Each Member hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in San Francisco, California in any action on a claim arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Member further agrees that personal jurisdiction over him or her may be effected by service of process by registered or certified mail addressed as provided in Section 14.6 of this Agreement, and that when so made shall be as if served upon him or her personally.

14.5.     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

14.6.     Notice. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing, and any written notice or other document shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) on the date of personal service on the parties; (ii) on the third business day after mailing, if the document is mailed by registered or certified mail; (iii) one day after being sent by professional or overnight courier or messenger service guaranteeing one-day delivery, with receipt confirmed by the courier; or (iv) on the date of transmission if sent by telegram, telex, telecopy or other means of electronic transmission resulting in written copies, with receipt confirmed. Any such notice shall be delivered or addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth below or at the most recent address specified by the addressee through written notice under this provision. Failure to conform to the requirement that mailings be done by registered or certified mail shall not defeat the effectiveness of notice actually received by the addressee.

14.7.     Amendment. Except as specifically provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may be modified, in whole or in part, at any time by consent of a Majority in Interest; provided, however that the unanimous consent of all Members shall be required for any amendment that would: (i) impose a new material obligation on a Member; (ii) reduce the Capital Account of a Member; (iii) reduce a Member’s rights to allocations or distributions under this Agreement; (iv) modify any provision hereof that imposes a unanimous or super majority vote of the Members; or (v) amend this Section 14.7. Any such agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to modify this Agreement in any respect with regard to the matters specified in items (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, unless in writing and signed by the parties against whom enforcement of the modification is sought.

 

 

14.8.     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the parties had all signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement.

14.9.     Attorneys’ Fees; Prejudgment Interest. If the services of an attorney are required by any party to secure the performance of this Agreement or otherwise upon the breach or default of another party to this Agreement, or if any judicial remedy or arbitration is necessary to enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement or the rights and duties of any Person in relation thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other expenses, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. Any award of damages following judicial remedy or arbitration as a result of the breach of this Agreement or any of its provisions shall include an award of prejudgment interest from the date of the breach at the maximum amount of interest allowed by law.

14.10.     Remedies Cumulative. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed exclusive but shall whenever possible be cumulative with all other remedies at law or in equity.

14.11.     Succession. Subject to the provisions otherwise contained in this Agreement, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding on the successors and assigns of the respective parties.

14.12.     Specific Performance. Each party’s obligations under this Agreement are unique. The parties each acknowledge that, if any party should default in performance of the duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement, it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages. Accordingly, the nondefaulting party, in addition to any other available rights or remedies, may ▇▇▇ in equity for specific performance, and the parties each expressly waive the defense that a remedy in damages will be adequate.

14.13.     Captions. All paragraph captions are for reference only and shall not be considered in construing this Agreement.

14.14.     Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

14.15.     Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than the parties to it and their respective successors and assigns, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third persons any right of subrogation or action against any party to this Agreement.

14.16.     Further Assurances. The Members shall execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments, and take all further actions as may be necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

14.17.     Arbitration; Choice of Forum; Governing Law.

 

 

14.17.1.     Arbitration. Except as set forth in Section 14.17.2 and, except to the extent another dispute resolution procedure is set forth in this Agreement (for example, valuation determinations to be made by appraisers and distribution amount determinations to be made by accounts), if any disputes arise out of or relate to or based upon this Agreement, the parties shall resolve any action, claim, controversy or dispute by, between or among the parties, or any director, officer, partner, attorney, member, employee or agent of the parties, or any contractor, subcontractor, third-party or subsequent purchaser through binding arbitration (“Arbitration Proceeding”) in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. sections 1-16). Parties interpreting this Section shall follow the federal court rulings which provide, without limitation, that the Federal Arbitration Act (a) is a congressional declaration of a liberal federal policy favoring arbitration agreements, notwithstanding substantive or procedural state policies to the contrary; (b) requires that federal and state courts rigorously enforce agreements to arbitrate; and (c) requires that the scope of arbitrable issues be resolved in favor of arbitration.

14.17.2.     Jurisdiction. The provisions of Section 14.17.1 shall in no way limit the right of any Member to exercise self-help remedies or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction before, after, or during the pendency of any Arbitration Proceeding. The exercise of such remedy shall not waive the right of any Member to resort to arbitration. The Members each acknowledge and agree that to the extent any legal proceeding other than an Arbitration Proceeding is permitted by this Section 14.17.2, the courts of the State of California, and the associated federal and appellate courts, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such legal proceeding. Each Member further agrees that personal jurisdiction over him or her may be effected by service of process by registered or certified mail addressed as provided in Section 14.6 of this Agreement, and that when so made shall be as if served upon him or her personally within the State of California.

14.17.3.     Choice of Law. The laws of the State of Delaware, including, without limitation, the Act, shall govern the organization and internal affairs of the Company and the liability of the Members.

14.17.4.     Proceedings. A neutral arbitrator selected by the parties, or if the parties cannot agree, by the American Arbitration Association, shall conduct the arbitration at the arbitrator’s office closest to Sacramento, California. The arbitrator shall conduct the arbitration according to the American Arbitration Association Commercial Arbitration Rules or such other procedures as may be agreed upon by the parties. The parties agree to (i) join into the arbitration proceeding hereunder or (ii) join any other arbitration proceeding of a dispute arising out, relating to, or based upon this Agreement, being conducted by, persons or entities related to the dispute that may be necessary to completely resolve the dispute. The arbitration shall determine all rights and obligations relating to, arising out of or based upon this Agreement. The arbitrator’s award shall be final, binding and enforceable in the absence of fraud. The arbitrator shall have the authority, power and right to award damages and provide for other remedies as are available at law or in equity in accordance with the laws of Delaware. The arbitrator shall equitably allocate payment of the costs and attorneys’ fees of the parties in light of the arbitrator’s evaluation of the relative merits or lack thereof of the respective claims of the parties. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO ARBITRATION AND WAIVE THEIR RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE LAW AND THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION LAW.
