All calls for payment of additional Capital Contributions, other than the initial Capital Contributions, will be made in accordance with Section 9.2. The issuance of Units is reflected and set forth in Exhibit “A”.

(b) Upon the unanimous approval of the Members, the Manager may, from time to time, call for the payment of additional Capital Contributions from Members on such terms as approved by the Members. The Manager will issue a Call Notice to each Member that shall state the amount of the additional Capital Contribution and each Member’s proportionate share thereof based on such Member’s pro rata Economic Interest as compared to the other Members, as of the date of the Call Notice. The Manager will deliver the Call Notice five (5) Business Days or more in advance of the date that the Capital Contributions requested thereby are due and payable. No Member shall be required to make any additional Capital Contributions, but each Member shall have the opportunity to participate in such additional Capital Contributions on a pro rata basis in accordance with their Economic Interests of the Members, or in such other proportions as the participating Members may agree upon. In the event that any Member (a “Non-Participating Member”) fails to make all or any part of such Member’s share of an additional Capital Contribution pursuant to this Section 9.2 (the “Non-Participating Contribution”), the other Members, in proportion to the respective Economic Interest of such Members (determined without regard to the Non-Participating Member’s Economic Interest), or in such other proportions as they may agree upon, shall be permitted to contribute to the Company the amount of such Non-Participating Contribution. Each of the contributing Members shall receive Units in proportion to the additional Capital Contributions, including any Non-Participating Contribution, made by such contributing Member, and the Non-Participating Member shall suffer a dilution, in favor of the contributing Members, of his, her or its Common Units.

The Series A Preferred Units issued to Alcentra shall be certificated.

Each certificate shall include the following legend:

The limited liability company units (the “Units”) of Behavioral Healthcare Realty, LLC represented by this certificate and the LLC Agreement (as defined below) have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the securities laws of any State of the United States or any other applicable securities laws in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such other laws. The Units must be acquired for investment only and may not be offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated, sold, assigned or transferred at any time except in compliance with (i) the Securities Act, any applicable state securities laws, and any other applicable securities laws and (ii) the terms and conditions of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Behavioral Healthcare Realty, LLC (the “LLC Agreement”).

9.7 Maintenance of Capital Accounts.

A Capital Account shall be established for each Member and Series A Preferred Owner and maintained in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Treasury Regulation (“Treas. Reg.”) Section 1.704-1 (b) or, if such regulations are amended, replaced, or superseded, in accordance with any applicable successor rules or regulations.

9.8 Revaluation to Adjust Capital Accounts.

The value of Company property may be adjusted by the Manager in accordance with the provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(f) or under such other circumstances as the Manager shall determine to prevent unintended economic consequences.

9.9 Redemption Rights of Series A Preferred Units.

(a) Company Call Right. With respect to each Series A Preferred Owner,

(i) beginning on the first day following the purchase of Series A Preferred Units by the Series A Preferred Owner through the last day of the twelfth (12th) subsequent month after the purchase of such Units, the Company has the right (a “First Call Right”), but not the obligation, to redeem all or any portion (but not less than 40 Series A Preferred Units, or, if the Series A Preferred Owner holds less than 40 Series A Preferred Units, all such Units held by such Series A Preferred Owner) of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units by making a cash payment to such Series A Preferred Owner equal to the sum of (A) such Series A Preferred Owner’s Unrecovered Capital Contribution, plus (B) any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return thereon through the date the cash payment is made, plus (C) the Preferred Return which would have accrued on such Series A Preferred Units had such Units remained outstanding through the first anniversary after the date such Units were originally issued, plus (D) an amount equal to three percent (3%) multiplied by the sum of 9.9(a)(i)(A), 9.9(a)(i)(B) and 9.9(a)(i)(C).

(ii) beginning on the first day of the thirteenth (13th) month following the Issuance Date through and including the last day of the thirty-sixth (36th) subsequent month, the Company has the right (a “Second Call Right”), but not the obligation, to redeem all or any portion (but not less than 40 Series A Preferred Units, or, if the Series A Preferred Owner holds less than 40 Series A Preferred Units, all such Units held by the Series A Preferred Owner) of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units by making a cash payment to such Series A Preferred Owner equal to the sum of (A) such Series A Preferred Owner’s Unrecovered Capital Contribution, plus (B) any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return thereon through the date the cash payment is made, plus (C) an amount equal to two percent (2%) multiplied by the sum of 9.9(a)(ii)(A) and 9.9(a)(ii)(B).

The foregoing payments owed upon exercise of a Call Right, collectively, the “Call Premium”.

Upon the exercise by the Company of any Call Right provided for in this Section 9.9(a), the Company shall redeem the Series A Preferred Owners on a pro rata basis. For avoidance of doubt, if the Company issues Series A Preferred Units on different dates, the First Call Right, Second

 

13


Call Right and Third Call Right shall be determined with respect to each Series A Preferred Unit being redeemed based on the date of issuance of the Series A Preferred Unit being redeemed; provided, that, if the Company redeems Series A Preferred Units issued on different dates, pursuant to a First Call Right, Second Call Right and/or Third Call Right, an equal number of Series A Preferred Units issued on each original issue date shall be redeemed. For example, (x) if the Company issues 20 Series A Preferred Units on March 1, 2014 and 20 Series A Preferred Units on September 1, 2014 and elects to call all such Units on May 1, 2015, the Second Call Right shall apply to the Units issued on March 1, 2014 and the First Call Right shall apply to the Units issued on September 1, 2014 and (y) if the Company elects to call only 20 Units on May 1, 2015, the Second Call Right shall apply to 10 of the Units issued on March 1, 2014 and the First Call Right shall apply to 10 of the Units issued on September 1, 2014.

(b) Series A Preferred Owner Put Right. With respect to each Series A Preferred Owner beginning on the first day following the close of:

(i) the thirty-sixth month following April 15, 2014 (the “First Issue Date”) and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, or

(ii) the forty-eighth month following the First Issue Date and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, or

(iii) the sixtieth month following the First Issue Date and at any time thereafter, the Series A Preferred Owner has a right to demand (the “Periodic Put Right”) the Company to redeem all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preferred Owner by making a cash payment to each Series A Preferred Owner equal to the sum of (x) such Series A Preferred Owner’s Unrecovered Capital Contribution, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return thereon through the date the cash payment is made.

(c) Series A Preferred Owner Event of Default Put Right. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing for twelve (12) months or longer, upon the first day following the twelfth (12th) month and at any time thereafter so long as an Event of Default is continuing, the Series A Preferred Owners constituting the Required Series A Majority have a right to demand (the “Default Put Right” and collectively with the Periodic Put Right, the “Put Right”) the Company to redeem all, but not less than all, of the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Units held by such Series A Preferred Owners by making a cash payment to each Series A Preferred Owner equal to the sum of (i) such Series A Preferred Owner’s Unrecovered Capital Contribution, plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return thereon through the date the cash payment is made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing hereunder and an event of default also occurs and is continuing under the AAC Credit Facility Documents or the Existing Real Estate Documents and, as a result thereof, all or any portion of the indebtedness of the borrower under the AAC Credit Facility Documents or the Existing Real Estate Documents is declared to be due and payable prior to its stated maturity or if the agent or lenders under the AAC Credit Facility Documents or the Existing Real Estate Documents have commenced the exercise of their remedies with respect to liens granted to the agent or lenders thereunder, the Series A Preferred Owners may exercise their Default Put Right immediately upon the date such indebtedness is declared to be due and payable or the date on which the agent or lenders under the AAC Credit Facility Documents or the Existing Real Estate Documents have commenced the exercise such remedies.

(d) Redemption on a Capital Event or Sale Distribution. Upon the occurrence of a Capital Event or a Sale Distribution, the Company shall redeem, on a pro rata basis (in the manner as provided in the last paragraph of Section 9.9(a) above), the issued and outstanding Series A Preferred

 

14


Units held by the Series A Preferred Owners (a “Required Redemption”) by making a cash payment to each Series A Preferred Owner equal to the sum of (i) such Series A Preferred Owner’s Unrecovered Capital Contribution, plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return thereon through the date the cash payment is made, plus (iii) the applicable Call Premium, if any.

(e) Notice; Closing.

(i) Upon the exercise by the Company of its Call Right, the Company shall provide to the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Units being redeemed by the Company, written notice of the exercise of the Call Right (the “Call Notice”). Such notice shall specify the number of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed by the Company.

(ii) Upon the exercise by a Series A Preferred Owner of its Put Right, such Series A Preferred Owner shall provide to the Company, written notice of the exercise of the Put Right (the “Put Notice”).

(iii) At least ten (10) days prior to a Capital Event or a Sale Distribution, the Company shall provide to the holder(s) of the Series A Preferred Units being redeemed by the Company, notice of the anticipated closing date of the Capital Event or Sale Distribution (the “Required Redemption Notice”).

(iv) The closing of any purchase or sale of the Series A Preferred Units made pursuant to the exercise of the Call Right or the Periodic Put Right or the Required Redemption shall take place at the Company’s principal offices on the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following delivery of either the Call Notice or the Put Notice or simultaneously with the closing of the Capital Event or Sale Distribution, as applicable (or if such ninetieth (90th) day is not a Business Day, the first (1st) Business Day following such ninetieth (90th) day) or at such other time and place as the parties involved therein may agree (the “Redemption Closing”). At the Redemption Closing, such Series A Preferred Owner shall sell, convey, transfer and deliver to the Company full right, title and interest in and to the Series A Preferred Units, free and clear of all liens, security interests or adverse claims of any kind and nature and shall deliver to the Company such documentation as it reasonably requires to evidence the disposition. If the Company has not paid to the Series A Preferred Owners the amount in cash required under Section 9.9(a), (b) or (d) on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) calendar day following delivery of either the Call Notice or the Put Notice or simultaneously with the closing of the Capital Event or Sale Distribution, as applicable, the Company shall (x) issue to the Series A Preferred Owners in payment of such amounts owing a senior secured promissory note which shall (1) accrue interest at the rate of 18% per annum and (2) be due on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, (y) use commercially reasonable efforts so that the promissory note be secured by a lien on all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets and (z) execute such other documents in connection therewith as reasonably requested by the Series A Preferred Owners. If the promissory note is not paid in full on the first anniversary of the date of issuance, the Default Put Right shall be deemed to have been exercised by the Series A Preferred Owners, and the Series A Preferred Owners shall have the rights set forth in Section 9.9(e)(v).

(v) The closing of any purchase or sale of the Series A Preferred Units made pursuant to the exercise of the Default Put Right shall take place at the Company’s principal offices on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following delivery of the Put Notice. If the Company has not paid to the Series A Preferred Owners the amount in cash, as

 

15


calculated pursuant to Section 9.9(c), then the Required Series A Majority shall have the right to require that the Company and/or its Subsidiaries sell their assets in order to pay the amount due and owing pursuant to the Default Put Right exercised by the Series A Preferred Owners, including by requiring the Company to engage an investment banker selected by the Series A Preferred Owners for the purpose of obtaining a valuation (going concern and sale to a buyer) of the Company and conducting the sale of the assets of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries. If the Company is required to engage an investment banker, such banker shall promptly provide a copy of any valuation to the Series A Preferred Owners and generally keep the Series A Preferred Owners apprised of the sale process.

(vi) Each party acknowledges and agrees that the Series A Preferred Owners will be irreparably damaged in the event any of the provisions of Section 9.9(e)(v) is not performed by the parties in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached. Accordingly, it is agreed that the Series A Preferred Owners shall be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of Section 9.9(e)(v), and to specific enforcement of Section 9.9(e)(v) and its terms and provisions in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state having subject matter jurisdiction.

(f) Redemptions Constitute Distributions. Payments made in accordance with this Section 9.9 shall, to the extent treated as payment of the accrued but unpaid Preferred Return, be treated as a distribution in connection with such Preferred Units under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as applicable.

ARTICLE X.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO MEMBERS

10.1 Distributions of Net Cash Flow. Except as limited by Section 8.9(f), upon determination of the Manager, in his sole discretion, the Company may distribute Net Cash Flow within thirty (30) days following the last day of each calendar quarter (each such last day, a “Payment Date”) in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to holders of Series A Preferred Units in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of (i) their cumulative Preferred Return as of the date of distribution over (ii) the cumulative distributions of Preferred Return previously made to them under this Section 10.1 (a); and

(b) Second, to the Members holding Common Units in proportion to their respective Economic Interest;

provided, that upon the dissolution of the Company as provided in Section 17.1, distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 18.1. Upon each distribution under this Section 10.1, the Company shall deliver to the Series A Preferred Owners a certificate signed by its Chief Financial Officer certifying that there will be pro forma compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 14.2(a) taking into account such distribution.

10.2 Distribution upon a Capital Event or Sale of Parcel Real Property. Upon the occurrence of either (i) a Capital Event or (ii) the sale by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company of any parcel of real property or any portion thereof (“Sale Distribution”), the Company shall, upon the determination of the Manager in his sole discretion, distribute the net proceeds as follows:

(a) First, to holders of Series A Preferred Units in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of (i) their cumulative Preferred Return as of the date of distribution over (ii) the cumulative distributions of Preferred Return previously made to them under Section 10.1(a) and this Section 10.2(a); and

 

16


(b) Second, provided that the Company has provided written notice to the Series A Preferred Owners as required herein of the Capital Event or Sale Distribution, upon the written consent of the Required Series A Majority, to the Series A Preferred Owners in redemption of their Series A Preferred Units as provided in Section 9.9(d); and

(c) Third, to the Members holding Common Units in proportion to their respective Governance Interest;

provided, however, that upon the dissolution of the Company as provided in Section 17.1, distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 18.1.

10.3 Tax Distributions.

Notwithstanding Section 10.1, the Company may, at such times as determined by the Manager, in its sole discretion, unless restricted or prohibited by the Delaware Act, make distributions of Net Cash Flow to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners (at such times as may be necessary to allow the timely payment of federal and state income taxes, including estimated federal and state income taxes) in an amount that is reasonably deemed by the Manager sufficient to pay the combined estimated federal and state income tax liability of the Members and Series A Preferred Owners (or any other person who would become obligated to pay federal and state income taxes as a result of allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses to a Member or Series A Preferred Owner) resulting solely from the allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners; provided, however, that no distributions shall be paid to the Members pursuant to this Section 10.3 unless all accrued but unpaid Preferred Returns have been paid to the Series A Preferred Owners as required under Section 10.1(a) and 10.2(a) and (b). The Manager shall not be required to consider the personal circumstances of Members and Series A Preferred Owners in making a determination of the estimated combined federal and state income tax liability of the Members and Series A Preferred Owners. Any distribution made to a Member or Series A Preferred Owner under this Section 10.3 shall be taken into account as a distribution under Section 10.1. If, upon liquidation of the Company, any Member or Series A Preferred Owner has received aggregate distributions under Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 18.1(b)(iv) that exceed the aggregate distributions that such Member or Series A Preferred Owner would have received if an amount equal to the aggregate distributions made to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners under Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 18.1(b)(iv) had been distributed to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners solely under Sections 10.1, 10.2 and 18.1(b)(iv), such Member or Series A Preferred Owner shall be required to pay to the Company, for distribution to the other Members and Series A Preferred Owners, an amount equal to such excess. No distribution shall be made to the Members, and no management or similar fees shall be paid, upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, unless waived in writing by the Required Series A Majority.

10.4 Limitation Upon Distributions.

No distribution shall be made to Members and Series A Preferred Owners if: (a) the Company would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; (b) the Company’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities; or (c) such distribution would otherwise constitute a violation of the Delaware Act.

10.5 Interest On and Return of Capital Contributions.

No Member or Series A Preferred Owner shall be entitled to interest on such Member’s Capital Contribution or to a return of the Member’s Capital Contribution, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement.

10.6 Holders of Economic Interests.

Except as otherwise provided herein, references in this Agreement to Members shall also be deemed to constitute a reference to Series A Preferred Owners when the provision relates to financial rights and obligations. By way of illustration and not limitation, such provisions would include those regarding Capital Accounts, distributions (including distributions made pursuant to Section 17.1 hereof), allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses, contributions and the rights, restrictions and obligations with respect to transferability contained in Article XV.

ARTICLE XI.

ALLOCATIONS OF NET PROFITS AND NET LOSSES

11.1 Net Profits and Net Losses.

After giving effect to any allocations required by Section 11.2, Net Profits and Net Losses for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated, insofar as possible, first to the extent of and in accordance with the Net Cash Flow distributed during such Fiscal year or a Sale Distribution, and second, so that, following all allocations pursuant to Section 11.2 for such Fiscal Year and the allocations pursuant to this Section 11.1, each Member’s and Series A Preferred Owner’s Capital Account balance shall be equal to the result (be it positive, negative or zero) of subtracting (i) the sum of (x) the amount which such Member or Series A Preferred Owner is unconditionally obligated to contribute to the Company in the future, (y) such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s share of the Member Minimum Gain, and (z) such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s share of the Company Minimum Gain, from (ii) such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s Target Amount at the end of such Fiscal Year. After giving effect to any allocations required by Section 11.2, Net Losses for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated, insofar as possible, so that following all allocations pursuant to Section 11.2 for such Fiscal Year and the allocations pursuant to this Section 11.1, each Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s Capital Account balance shall be equal to the result (be it positive, negative or zero) of subtracting (i) the sum of (x) the amount which such Member or Series A Preferred Owner is unconditionally obligated to contribute to the Company in the future, (y) such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s share of the Member Minimum Gain, and (z) such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s share of the Company Minimum Gain, from (ii) such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s Target Amount at the end of such Fiscal Year.

11.2 Tax Regulatory and Curative Allocations.

Notwithstanding Section 11.1 hereof:

(a) In the event that any Member or Series A Preferred Owner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704¬1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), which create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member or Series A Preferred Owner, then items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for such year and, if necessary, for subsequent years) shall be specially allocated to such Member or Series A Preferred Owner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit so created as quickly as possible. It is the intent that this Section 11.2(a) be interpreted to comply with the alternate test for economic effect set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d).

(b) The Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Member or Series A Preferred Owner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. In the event that some, but not all, of the Members or Series A Preferred Owners would have Adjusted Capital

 

18


Account Deficits as a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, the limitation set forth in the preceding sentence shall be applied on a Member-by-Member and Series A Preferred Owner by Series A Preferred Owner basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member and Series A Preferred Owner under Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d). All Net Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 11.2(b) shall be allocated to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners in proportion to their respective positive Capital Account balances, if any, and thereafter to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners in accordance with their interests in the Company as determined by the Manager, in its reasonable discretion.

(c) In the event that any Member or Series A Preferred Owner would have a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of the amount, if any, that such Member or Series A Preferred Owner is obligated to restore to the Company under Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(c) and such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s share of Company Minimum Gain as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(l) and Member or Series A Preferred Owner Minimum Gain as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5) which is also treated as an obligation to restore in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)), the Capital Account of such Member or Series A Preferred Owner shall be specially credited with items of Company income (including gross income) and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 11.2(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member or Series A Preferred Owner would have such an excess deficit Capital Account balance after all other allocations provided for in this Article XI tentatively have been made as if this Section 11.2(c) and Section 11.2(a) were not in this Agreement. This Section 11.2(c) is intended to minimize the potential distortion to the economic arrangement of the Members or Series A Preferred Owners that might otherwise be caused by Section 11.2(a), while ensuring that this Agreement complies with the requirements of the alternate test for economic effect contained in Regulations Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, if there is a net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain during a Fiscal Year, then each Member and Series A Preferred Owner shall be allocated items of income (including gross income) and gain for such Fiscal Year (and if necessary for subsequent Fiscal Years) equal to that Member’s and Series A Preferred Owner’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain. This Section 11.2(d) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. If in any Fiscal Year that the Company has a net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain, if the minimum gain chargeback requirement would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members and Series A Preferred Owners and it is not expected that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct that distortion, the Manager may seek to have the Internal Revenue Service waive the minimum gain chargeback requirement in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(4).

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2 except Section 11.2(d), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company Fiscal Year, each Member and Series A Preferred Owner who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain as of the beginning of the Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) equal to such Member’s and Series A Preferred Owner’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt. A Member’s and Series A Preferred Owner’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4); provided, however, that a Member or Series A Preferred Owner shall not be subject to this provision to the extent that an exception is provided by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and any Revenue Rulings issued with respect thereto. Any Member Minimum Gain allocated pursuant to this

 

19


provision shall consist of first, gains recognized from the disposition of Company property subject to the Member Nonrecourse Debt, and, second, if necessary, a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of income or gain (including gross income) for that Fiscal Year. This Section 11.2(e) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(f) Items of Company loss, deduction and expenditures described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code which are attributable to any nonrecourse debt of the Company and are characterized as Member Nonrecourse Deductions under Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in accordance with said Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(g) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Membership Percentages.

(h) To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member or Series A Preferred Owner in complete liquidation of its Interest, the amount of such adjustment to 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 or Series A Preferred Owners in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Member or Series A Preferred Owner to whom such distribution was made in the event Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

11.3 Credit or Charge to Capital Accounts.

Any credit or charge to the Capital Accounts of the Members or Series A Preferred Owners pursuant to Section 11.2(a), Section 11.2(b), Section 11.2(c), Section 11.2(d), Section 11.2(e), Section 11.2(f), Section 11.2(g) and Section 11.2(h) (“Regulatory Allocations”) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses pursuant to Section 11.1, so that the net amount of any items charged or credited to Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 11.1 and the Regulatory Allocations hereof and this Section 11.3 shall to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to the Capital Account of each Member and Series A Preferred Owner pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.3 if the special allocations required by the Regulatory Allocations hereof had not occurred.

11.4 Section 704(c) Allocations.

In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, Net Profits and Net Losses, and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction thereof, with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, or after the assets of the Company have been revalued pursuant to Section 9.8, shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members and Series A Preferred Owners so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value including, but not limited to, special allocations to a contributing Member or Series A Preferred Owner that are required under Code Section 704(c) to be made upon distribution of such property to any of the non-contributing Members or Series A Preferred Owners. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Manager. Allocations pursuant to this Section 11.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits and Net Losses and credit or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

11.5 Allocations in Respect of Transferred Member Units.

If any Unit is sold, assigned, or transferred pursuant to Article XV during any accounting period, Net Profit and Net Loss, and each item thereof, and all other items attributable to the transferred interest for such period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the period in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Manager. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, the Company shall recognize such Transfer not later than the end of the calendar month during which it is given notice of such Transfer, provided that if the Company does not receive a notice stating the date such Unit was transferred within thirty (30) Business Days after the end of the accounting period during which the Transfer occurs, then all of such items shall be allocated to the Person who, according to the books and records of the Company, on the last day of the accounting period during which the transfer occurs, was the owner of the Unit. Neither the Company nor any Manager or officer shall incur any liability for making allocations and distributions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.5 whether or not any Member or the Company has knowledge of any Transfer of ownership of any Unit.

11.6 Determination by Manager.

All matters concerning the computation of Capital Accounts, the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction, and expense for all purposes of this Agreement and the adoption of any accounting procedures not expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement shall be reasonably determined by the Manager.

ARTICLE XII.

TAXES

12.1 Tax Elections.

The Manager at all times shall use its reasonable and good faith efforts to cause the Company to comply with such conditions as may be required from time to time to have the Company classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes (and state, local and foreign tax purposes when applicable) and not as an association taxable as a corporation.

12.2 Withholding.

All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or foreign tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners pursuant to Section 10.1 for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company shall withhold from distributions to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners, or with respect to allocations to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners, and pay over to any federal, state, local, or foreign government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any other federal, state, local, or foreign law and shall allocate any such amounts to the Members and Series A Preferred Owners with respect to which such amount was withheld.

The Tax Matters Partner may not take any action contemplated by Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code without the consent of the Members holding a Majority Governance Interest and the Series A Preferred Owners holding a Majority of the Series A Preferred Units. The Tax Matters Partner will be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Tax Matters Partner in complying with and carrying out its responsibilities.

(i) have a ratio of (A) the total amount owed to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ lenders as of the date of determination to (B) the fair market value of the property owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries, that exceeds eighty percent (80%) (for avoidance of doubt, if the Required Series A Majority elects to conduct an appraisal of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 14.2(b), the fair market value of the real property shall be the appraised value); or

(ii) make any declaration, payment, distribution, rebate, reduction and/or excess payments described in Section 8.9(f) (excluding the payment of the Preferred Return), that exceeds the Distribution Cap in the aggregate, annually, without receipt of the approval provided in Section 8.9 herein.

ARTICLE XV.

TRANSFERABILITY

15.1 General Prohibition.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including, without limitation Section 9.9(b) herein, no Member or Series A Preferred Owner, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, may assign, sell, transfer, encumber, or in any way alienate (collectively a “Transfer”), all or any part of his, her or its Units. A Member or Series A Preferred Owner may Transfer all or any portion of his, her or its Units (i) only with the prior written consent of the Manager, which consent may be withheld in the Manager’s sole discretion and in accordance with the provisions of this Article XV, (ii) to an Affiliate of the Member or Series A Preferred Owner, (iii) with respect to Alcentra, a pledge of its Units to its secured lenders as collateral under a secured lending facility, so long as the secured lender or entity holding such Units shall have no Governance Rights and no rights to vote on any Company matters whatsoever, or (iv) with respect to a Member, a pledge of its Units entered into in connection with the AAC Credit Facility Transactions (each a “Permitted Transfer”). The Company shall not give effect on its books to any Transfer or purported Transfer of Units held or owned by a Member or Series A Preferred Owner to any Person unless each and all of the conditions hereof affecting such Transfer shall have been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations set forth in Sections 15.1, 15.2 and 15.4 shall not apply to any transactions that constitute a Qualified Reorganization, except that to the extent Units are transferred to Holdings, any Affiliate of Holdings or any Affiliate of Company in the Qualified Reorganization, the transferee shall become a substitute Member and shall be bound by this Agreement as a Member hereunder.

15.2 Right of First Refusal.

(a) If a Member or Series A Preferred Owner receives a bona fide written offer from a third party to purchase all or any part of the Units then owned by the Member or Series A Preferred Owner other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, which offer the Member or Series A Preferred Owner desires to accept, the Member or Series A Preferred Owner (the “Selling Member”) shall offer by written notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Company, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the offer to sell the Units subject to the third party offer (the “Offered Units”) to the Company at the lesser of (1) the same price or (2) the applicable Unrecovered Capital Contribution plus any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return, and upon substantially the same terms as provided in the third party offer. The Offer Notice shall state details of the third party offer, including (i) the name, address, telephone number and email address of the Selling Member and the proposed transferee, (ii) the purchase price offered by the proposed transferee, and (iii) the terms and method of payment. A copy of the third party offer shall be attached to the Offer Notice.

(b) The Company shall have an option for ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Company Option Period”) to purchase all or any portion of the Offered Units. Such option shall be exercisable by the Company by giving written notice of exercise to the Selling Member within such Company Option Period.

(c) If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Units pursuant to clause (b) above, then, prior to the expiration of the Company Option Period, the Company shall notify

 

25


each of the Members (the “Non-Selling Members”) of the number of Offered Units, if any, which the Company has not elected to purchase (the “Subsequent Offer Notice”). For a period of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice (the “Member Option Period”), each Non-Selling Member may elect, by giving written notice as described below, to purchase up to that number of remaining Offered Units as shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the total number of remaining Offered Units by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Common Units on a fully-diluted basis owned by such Non-Selling Member on the date of the Subsequent Offer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number Common Units on a fully-diluted basis then held by all of the Non-Selling Members on the date of the Subsequent Offer Notice, subject to increase as hereinafter provided. The number of Units that each Non-Selling Member is entitled to purchase under this Section 15.2(c) shall be referred to as a “ROFR Allocation.” If any Non- Selling Member does not wish to purchase its ROFR Allocation, then all other Non- Selling Members who so elect shall have the right to accept the offer to purchase, on a pro-rata basis with all other Non-Selling Members who so elect (as hereinafter provided), any ROFR Allocation not purchased by such Non-Selling Member. Each Non-Selling Member shall have the right to purchase such number of remaining Offered Units by giving written notice of such acceptance to the Company and the Selling Member within 10 calendar days after receipt of the Subsequent Offer Notice, which notice shall indicate the maximum number of shares of Offered Units which such Non-Selling Member is willing to purchase in the event fewer than all of the Non-Selling Members elect to purchase their ROFR Allocations.

(d) If neither the Company nor the Non-Selling Members elect to purchase all of the Offered Units within the time period specified, then the option shall be deemed unexercised and the Selling Member may Transfer, subject to compliance with all of the conditions of Section 15.5, including the right of the Manager to prohibit such Transfer, the Offered Units to the proposed transferee at any time within thirty (30) Business Days after the expiration of the Member Option Period.

(e) The closing of the purchase and sale contemplated under this Section 15.2 shall occur on the twentieth (20th) Business Day immediately following the expiration of the Member Option Period.

15.3 Involuntary Transfers.

(a) (i) If any Member or Series A Preferred Owner (1) dies, or (2) becomes Disabled or (3) files a petition or answer seeking its reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, or (ii) if any Member or Series A Preferred Owner has any information which would reasonably lead such Member or Series A Preferred Owner to expect that an involuntary Transfer, including but not limited to, a Transfer pursuant to a Bankruptcy Event, an attachment by a judgment creditor, a Transfer pursuant to divorce, or a Transfer by operation of law, is foreseeable, such Member or Series A Preferred Owner or the Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s executor, guardian or other authorized representative (the “Transferring Member”) shall immediately give the Company written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) of such event, and make an offer to sell all of such Transferring Member’s Units (the “Transfer Units”), to the Company. The Transfer Notice shall contain a statement of the type of proposed Transfer, the identity of the person to whom the Transfer Units will or may be Transferred, and any other facts which are or will reasonably be deemed material to the proposed Transfer.

(b) The Company shall have an option for thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Transfer Notice (“Company Transfer Period”) to purchase all or any portion of the Transfer Units. Such option shall be exercisable by the Company by giving written notice of exercise to the Transferring Member within such Company Transfer Period.

 

26


(c) If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Transfer Units pursuant to clause (b) above, then, prior to the expiration of the Company Transfer Period, the Company shall notify each of the Members (the “Non-Transferring Members”) of the number of Transfer Units, if any, which the Company has not elected to purchase (the “Subsequent Transfer Notice”). For a period of ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice (the “Member Transfer Period”), each Non-Transferring Member may elect, by giving written notice as described below, to purchase up to that number of remaining Transfer Units as shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the total number of remaining Transfer Units by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Common Units on a fully-diluted basis owned by such Non-Transferring Member on the date of the Subsequent Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number Common Units on a fully-diluted basis then held by all of the Non- Transferring Members on the date of the Subsequent Transfer Notice, subject to increase as hereinafter provided. The number of Units that each Non-Transferring Member is entitled to purchase under this Section 15.3(c) shall be referred to as a “Involuntary ROFR Allocation.” If any Non-Transferring Member does not wish to purchase its Involuntary ROFR Allocation, then all other Non-Transferring Members who so elect shall have the right to accept the offer to purchase, on a pro-rata basis with all other Non- Transferring Members who so elect (as hereinafter provided), any Involuntary ROFR Allocation not purchased by such Non-Transferring Member. Each Non-Transferring Member shall have the right to purchase such number of remaining Transfer Units by giving written notice of such acceptance to the Company and the Transferring Member within 10 calendar days after receipt of the Subsequent Transfer Notice, which notice shall indicate the maximum number of shares of Transfer Units which such Non- Transferring Member is willing to purchase in the event fewer than all of the Non- Transferring Members elect to purchase their Involuntary ROFR Allocations.

(d) If the right to purchase described herein is not exercised with respect to the all of the Transfer Units within the time period specified, then the options shall be deemed unexercised and the Transferring Member may Transfer (if applicable), subject to compliance with all of the conditions of Section 15.5, including the right of the Manager to prohibit such Transfer, the Transfer Units to the proposed transferee at any time within thirty (30) Business Days after the expiration of the Member Transfer Period.

(e) (i) The price of the Transfer Units transferred pursuant to this Section 15.3 shall be (1) for Common Units, the fair market value of such Transfer Units or (2) for Series A Preferred the applicable Unrecovered Capital Contribution plus any accrued but unpaid Preferred Return. Fair market value shall be the price agreed upon by the Transferring Member and the Company and/or the purchasing Members (collectively, the “Purchaser”), or in the event an agreement has not been reached regarding purchase price, the fair market value shall be determined as follows: Within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Member Transfer Period, the Purchaser and the Transferring Member shall each select an appraiser (the “Purchaser’s Appraiser” and the “Seller’s Appraiser”, respectively). Within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the two appraisers, the Purchaser’s Appraiser and the Seller’s Appraiser shall select a third appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Each of the appraisers shall submit a determination of the value of the Transfer Units to the Company within forty-five (45) days of the date of selecting the Third Appraiser. The fair market value determinations of the two appraisers submitted to the Company which are closest in value shall be averaged. Such average will, absent fraudulent collusion, constitute the fair market value of the Transfer Units for purposes of this Section 15.3(e) and shall be final and binding upon the Transferring Member and the Purchaser, free of challenge or review by any court. All costs associated with such appraisals shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Transferring Member and fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser disagrees with the appraised value of the Transfer Units as determined under Section 15.3(e)(i), the Purchaser shall have ten (10) Business Days after such appraised value was submitted to the Company to revoke its election to

 

27


purchase the Transfer Units under this Section 15.3; provided, that in such event the Purchaser shall be responsible for the cost of both the Purchaser’s Appraiser and the Seller’s Appraiser. In the event that less than all of the parties comprising the Purchaser disagree with the appraised value, the agreeing parties must agree to acquire the portion of the Transfer Units that the disagreeing parties elected to purchase, or the Purchaser, as a whole, will be deemed to have revoked its election to purchase the Transfer Units.

(g) The price for the Transfer Units shall be paid to the Transferring Member at closing by the delivery, at the discretion of the Purchaser, of cash or a promissory note by each Purchaser (the “Note(s)”). The Note(s) shall provide for five annual equal installment payments, commencing with the first (1st) anniversary of the date of the Note(s), and shall bear interest payable at a rate equal to the prime rate as quoted by the Wall Street Journal as of the date of closing, plus two percent (2%). The outstanding principal balance of the Note, plus accrued, but unpaid interest, shall be accelerated as of the date of a sale of the Company or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

(h) The closing of the purchase and sale contemplated by this Section 15.3 shall occur at the offices of the Company no later than 10:00 a.m. on the twentieth (20th) Business Day immediately following the later of (i) the expiration of the Member Option Period or (ii) the determination of the price under paragraph (e) above.

15.4 Conditions for Admission of Substituted Member.

(a) A transferee with respect to a Permitted Transfer who is not already a Member or Series A Preferred Owner at the time of such Permitted Transfer, or any transferee with respect to a Transfer that is required by a court of competent jurisdiction, but that is not a Permitted Transfer, shall become a substitute Member or Series A Preferred Owner only if such admission is approved by the Manager, which approval may be withheld in its sole discretion, or if such transferee is an Affiliate of the Member or Series A Preferred Owner and, in either case, the following conditions have been satisfied:

(i) the transferor must have executed a written instrument of transfer of such Units in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager;

(ii) the transferee must have executed a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, to assume all of the duties and obligations of the transferor under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Units and to be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement;

(iii) the transferor, his legal representative or authorized agent, and the transferee must have executed a written agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, to indemnify and hold the Company, the Managers and the other Members and Series A Preferred Owners harmless from and against any loss or liability arising out of the Transfer;

(iv) the transferee must have executed such other documents and instruments as the Manager may reasonably deem necessary to effect the admission of the transferee as a Member or Series A Preferred Owner, as applicable; and

(v) unless waived by the Manager, the transferee or the transferor must have paid the expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred by the Company in connection with the admission of the transferee to the Company, provided that, with respect to transfers of Units by Series A Preferred Owners to their Affiliates, such expenses shall not exceed $5,000.

 

28


(b) Upon admission of a transferee as a substitute Member or Series A Preferred Owner pursuant to this Section 15.5, a transferee who has become a substitute Member or Series A Preferred Owner with respect to the transferred Units has, to the extent of the Units transferred to such substitute Member or Series A Preferred Owner, all the rights and powers as a Member or Series A Preferred Owner, as applicable of the Person for whom such substitute Member or Series A Preferred Owner is substituted, including without limitation the Economic Interests and Governance Rights of the transferor Member or Series A Preferred Owner, as the case may be, and is subject to all of the restrictions and liabilities of a Member or Series A Preferred Owner under the Certificate of Formation, this Agreement and the Delaware Act.

(c) A transferee of Units who does not become a substitute Member or Series A Preferred Owner shall be the owner of such transferor’s Economic Interest only and shall be entitled only to the transferor’s Economic Interest to the extent assigned. Such transferee shall not be entitled to vote on any question regarding the Company and any transferred Economic Interest shall not be considered to be outstanding for voting purposes. Each transferee under this Section 15 must agree in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; provided, however, that a pledgee of a Series A Preferred Owner shall not be required to agree to be bound by this Agreement until and unless such pledgee becomes the beneficial owner of the Series A Preferred Units.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 15.4 shall not be applicable to Holdings, any Affiliate of Holdings or any Affiliate of Company, except that to the extent Units are transferred to Holdings, any Affiliate of Holdings or any Affiliate of Company, the transferee shall become a substitute Member and shall be bound by this Agreement as a Member hereunder.

15.5 Transfer Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no proposed Transfer of Units, or any part thereof, will be permitted or effective:

(a) if such Transfer would cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for Federal income tax purposes or, when added to the total of all other sales or exchanges of Membership Interests within the preceding twelve (12) months, would result in the Company being considered to have terminated within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code;

(b) if such Transfer would violate any federal or any state securities or “blue sky” laws applicable to the Company or to the Interest to be transferred or assigned or the Company has failed to receive from the Member, if reasonably requested, a legal opinion satisfactory to the Company, addressing such issues as the Company or its legal counsel may request, including, without limitation, that such Transfer will not be in violation of applicable federal or state securities law and will not result in any adverse consequences to the Company; provided that no legal opinion shall be required by the Company with respect to transfers by a Series A Preferred Owner to its Affiliates; or

(c) if the Manager, in its sole discretion, determines that such Transfer, which is not a Permitted Transfer, should be prohibited.

15.6 Successors as to Economic Rights.

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein or in any applicable transfer document, a transferee shall succeed to the transferor’s Capital Contributions and Capital Account to the extent related to the Economic Interests transferred, regardless of whether such transferee becomes a Member or Series A Preferred Owner.

(b) Neither a Member nor a Series A Preferred Owner may voluntarily withdraw from the Company.

ARTICLE XVIII.

WINDING UP, LIQUIDATION, DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS

18.1 Accounting in Connection with Dissolution.

(a) Upon dissolution, an accounting shall be made by the Company’s accountants of the accounts of the Company and of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations. The Manager, or the Persons selected by the Manager (the “Liquidators”), shall immediately proceed to wind up the affairs of the Company.

(b) If the Company is dissolved and its affairs are to be wound up, the Liquidators shall:

(i) Sell or otherwise liquidate all of the Company’s assets as promptly as practicable (except to the extent the Liquidators may determine to distribute any assets to the Members in kind);

(ii) Allocate any Net Profits or Net Losses resulting from such sales to the Members and Series A Preferred Stock Owners in accordance with Section 11.1 hereof;

(iii) Discharge all liabilities of the Company, including liabilities to Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, other than liabilities to Members for distributions, and establish such Reserves as may be reasonably necessary to provide for contingencies or liabilities of the Company;

(iv) After discharge of the liabilities described in clause (iii), redeem the Series A Preferred Units in accordance with Section 9.9(a);

(v) After redemption of the Series A Preferred Units described in clause (iv), distribute the remaining assets to the Members holding Common Units, either in cash or in kind, in accordance with Section 10.2; and

(vi) If any assets of the Company are to be distributed in kind, the net fair market value of such assets shall be determined by independent appraisal. Such assets shall be deemed to have been sold as of the date of dissolution for their fair market value, and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to reflect such deemed sale.

 

31


(c) It is the intent of the Members that the allocations provided in Section 11.1 result in the distributions required pursuant to Sections 18.1(b)(iv) and (v), 10.1 and 10.2 being in accordance with positive Capital Accounts as provided for in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b). However, if after giving hypothetical effect to the allocations required by Section 11.1, the Capital Accounts of the Members and Series A Preferred Owners are in such ratios or balances that distributions pursuant to Sections 18.1(b)(iv), 10.1 and 10.2 would not be in accordance with the positive Capital Accounts of the Members and Series A Preferred Owners as required by the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(b) (subject to certain revaluations permitted by Section 9.8, but not specifically permitted by the Regulations), such failure shall not affect or alter the distributions required by Sections 18.1(b)(iv) and (v), 10.1 and 10.2. Rather, the Liquidators will have the authority to make other allocations of Net Losses, Net Profits, or items of income, gain, loss or deduction among the Members and Series A Preferred Owners which, to the maximum extent possible, will result in the Capital Accounts of each Member and Series A Preferred Owner having a balance prior to distribution equal to the amount of distributions to be received by such Member and Series A Preferred Owner pursuant to Sections 18.1(b)(iv) and (v), 10.1 and 10.2.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon a liquidation within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g), if any Member or Series A Preferred Owner has a deficit Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member or Series A Preferred Owner shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contribution to reduce or eliminate the negative balance of such Member’s or Series A Preferred Owner’s Capital Account.

(e) Upon completion of the winding-up, liquidation and distribution of the assets, the Company shall be deemed terminated.

18.2 Certificate of Cancellation.

When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Members, the Liquidators shall file a certificate evidencing such cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with the Delaware Act.

18.3 Return of Contribution Nonrecourse to Other Members.

Upon dissolution, each Member and Series A Preferred Owner shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of the Member’s and Series A Preferred Owner’s Capital Account.
