099999\14127737v20 20 2.5.2 Specific to Tranche. To the extent an asset, liability, debt, expense, or other obligation is acquired or incurred solely in connection with a Tranche, then such asset, liability, debt, expense, or other obligation shall be allocated to such Tranche. Accordingly, (A) Capital Contributions funded for, revenue derived from or financing proceeds attributable to a Subsidiary Entity, an Approved Project, a BTR Parcel or a Company Asset (“Source of Funds”) shall only be used to pay Project Costs, Loans, Reserves, Working Capital and other amounts attributable to such Approved Project, such BTR Parcel, such Company Asset or other Approved Projects, BTR Parcels or Company Assets within the same Tranche as such Approved Project, such BTR Parcel or such Company Asset (“Use of Funds”), and (B) Distributable Cash generated by a Tranche shall only be distributed under the applicable Tranche Distribution Waterfall. 2.5.3 General to Company. If an asset, liability, debt, expense, obligation, Source of Funds or Use of Funds is not solely related to one Tranche’s business or affairs, then Manager shall provide a fair and equitable allocation for such asset, liability, debt, expense, obligation, Source of Funds or Use of Funds which shall be subject to the Members’ approval in their reasonable discretion. Accordingly, Manager, acting reasonably and in good faith, may make adjustments from time to time to the Capital Contributions made, the Distributable Cash received and the related tax, audit and accounting matters if assets held by the Company for one Tranche are used to pay liabilities, debts, expenses or obligations of the other Tranche. Manager shall notify the Members when making such adjustments. If Manager determines that a Member has underfunded Capital Contributions by reason of the adjustments made by Manager to the Tranches, Manager shall deliver written notice (a “Shortfall Notice”) to the Members setting forth the Capital Contributions required to be made by such Member in respect of such underfunded Capital Contributions (such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”). An underfunded Member that owes a Shortfall Amount shall pay an amount equal to the Shortfall Amount to the overfunded Member within 10 business days after Manager delivers a Shortfall Notice; at which time, the Shortfall Amount paid by the underfunded Member shall be treated as a Capital Contribution and the overfunded Member shall be deemed to have received a distribution. If such Member fails to pay the Shortfall Amount within 10 business days, then (A) the Shortfall Amount shall accrue interest at the Applicable Rate, (B) all distributions which would otherwise be distributed to such Member shall be paid instead to the other Member until the Shortfall Amount (and all interest thereon) has been paid in full, (C) any such distributions shall be deemed to have been distributed to such Member and then paid over by such Member to the other Member in payment of the Shortfall Amount (and all interest thereon), and (D) the payment of interest by the underfunded Member shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution and the receipt of interest by the overfunded Member shall not be treated as a distribution. 2.5.4 Override Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Distributable Cash generated by all Tranches shall be used to repay Member Loans owing by a Non- Contributing Member before a Non-Contributing Member is entitled to receive any


 
099999\14127737v20 21 Distributable Cash relating to either Tranche (even if the Distributable Cash relates to one Tranche and the Member Loan being repaid relates to the other Tranche). 2.5.5 Records. To the extent feasible, Manager shall coordinate separate and distinct records for each Tranche, and the assets, liabilities, debts, expenses, and other obligations solely related to a Tranche or allocated to a Tranche shall be held and accounted for separately from the assets, liabilities, debts, expenses, and other obligations of the other Tranche. Manager is authorized to interpret the provisions of this Agreement to give effect to the intent of the other provisions of this Section 2.5. ARTICLE III CAPITALIZATION AND LOANS BY MEMBERS Section 3.1 Capital Contributions for Working Capital. Within five business days after the Effective Date and within five business days after the commencement of Tranche II, each Member shall fund into the Company’s Account an amount equal to such Member’s Percentage Interest times $[**]. Section 3.2 Subsequent Capital Contributions. Manager may issue Capital Calls from time to time for additional Capital Contributions. After a Capital Call has been issued, each Member shall fund its Percentage Interest of the amount specified in such Capital Call into the Company’s Account (or as otherwise directed by Manager) within 10 business days after such Capital Call is delivered to the Members. Section 3.3 Failure to Contribute Capital. Each Member shall be obligated to contribute Mandatory Capital, and each Member shall be permitted (but not required to) contribute Discretionary Capital. If a Member fails to contribute the entire amount specified in a Capital Call within the time periods set forth in Section 3.2, then such Member shall be a “Non-Contributing Member”, and the portion thereof not contributed by such Non-Contributing Member is referred to herein as the “Non-Contributing Member Unfunded Amount”. In the event a Non- Contributing Member Unfunded Amount exists and the other Member (the “Contributing Member”) has funded its entire share of the Capital Contributions specified in a Capital Call based on its Percentage Interest, the Contributing Member shall notify the Non-Contributing Member in writing of its failure to timely contribute Mandatory Capital or Discretionary Capital and shall have the remedies set forth below in this Section 3.3. In addition, if the Non-Contributing Member has failed to fund Mandatory Capital, the Non-Contributing Member’s Board Representative(s) shall not thereafter have approval or voting rights with respect to the Approved Project intended to be benefited by such Mandatory Capital (other than with respect to matters constituting Fundamental Decisions). 3.3.1 Return of Capital Contributions. The Contributing Member may elect for the Company to return all Capital Contributions funded by the Members in respect of such Capital Call, in which case, prior to making a distribution of Distributable Cash, the Company shall (A) immediately return the Contributing Member’s applicable Capital Contributions to the Contributing Member with a return computed thereon at the Applicable Rate, and (B) return the Non-Contributing Member’s Capital Contributions to the Non-Contributing Member without a return computed thereon.


 
099999\14127737v20 22 3.3.2 Return of Excess Capital Contributions. The Contributing Member may elect for the Company to return to the Contributing Member all Capital Contributions made by the Contributing Member in respect of the Contributing Member Excess Capital Share; in which case, prior to making a distribution of Distributable Cash, the Company shall immediately return such Capital Contributions to the Contributing Member with a return computed thereon at the Applicable Rate. 3.3.3 Member Loan. A. The Contributing Member may advance to the Company on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member all or a portion of the Non-Contributing Member Unfunded Amount as a loan to the Non-Contributing Member (each such loan, a “Member Loan”); in which case, the Contributing Member shall be deemed to have made a Member Loan to the Non-Contributing Member and the Non- Contributing Member shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution, in each case, in an amount equal to the Member Loan. If the Contributing Member elects to fund a portion (but not all) of the Non-Contributing Member Unfunded Amount, then (i) each of (1) the Contributing Member Corresponding Funded Amount, (2) the Non-Contributing Member Funded Amount, and (3) Contributing Member Excess Capital Share shall each be recalculated, in that order, after accounting for the deemed Capital Contribution made by the Non-Contributing Member by reason of the Contributing Member funding the Member Loan, and (ii) the Company shall immediately return to the Contributing Member all Capital Contributions made by the Contributing Member in respect of the Contributing Member Excess Capital Share with a return computed thereon at the Applicable Rate. B. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Member Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Applicable Rate. Each Member Loan shall be immediately due and payable upon the Maturity Date. The Non-Contributing Members shall be personally liable for such Member Loan, and if requested by the Contributing Member, shall execute a promissory note to the Contributing Member evidencing such obligation (provided that the absence of such promissory note shall not invalidate or relieve the Non-Contributing Member of its obligations described herein). No distributions shall be distributed to the Non-Contributing Member while any Member Loan is outstanding (even if the Maturity Date has not then elapsed). All distributions which would otherwise be distributed to the Non- Contributing Member shall be paid instead to the Contributing Member (even if the Maturity Date has not then elapsed) until the Member Loan (and all interest thereon) has been paid in full. Any such distributions shall be deemed to have been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member and then paid over by the Non- Contributing Member to the Contributing Member in payment of such Member Loan (and all interest thereon). All payments shall be applied first to interest accruing on all unpaid Member Loans (in reverse chronological order so that the most recently accrued interest is paid first) and then to the unpaid principal balance owing in respect of all Member Loans. The making of a Member Loan shall not excuse non-performance or default.


 
099999\14127737v20 23 C. For avoidance of doubt, amounts treated as Member Loans shall not constitute a Capital Contribution on the part of the Contributing Member, and payments in respect of Member Loans pursuant to this Section 3.3.3 do not constitute distributions to the Contributing Member under Article IV. D. Each Member Loan shall be secured by a lien upon the membership interest of the Non-Contributing Member (and the parties intend hereby to create a security interest), which lien will automatically attach to such membership interest without the necessity of further action. Upon request made by the Contributing Member, the Non-Contributing Member shall execute and deliver any financing statement in favor of the Contributing Member to perfect such lien and, in connection therewith, the Non-Contributing Member hereby authorizes the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements in favor of the Contributing Member to evidence the foregoing lien.

The selected actuary shall be a member of the American Academy of Actuaries, knowledgeable and experienced in the warranty and construction defect exposures of residential construction used solely for rental purposes. Utilizing known methods of analysis (including a review of (or receiving legal advice as to) the sale contract entered into for the sale of the applicable Projects and the provisions therein related to the limitation of seller’s liability for a breach of its representations, warranties or covenants and the related survival period of the buyer thereunder to make such claims), the actuary shall establish an actuarial sound estimates of ultimate liabilities for unknown Warranty Expenses and provide a recommendation regarding the amount of the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve and the scope of such analysis to be specifically described by the Members. If the Members are unable to agree upon an actuary within 30 days after the Request for Analysis, then each Member shall have 30 days from such date to select an actuary to prepare an Actuarial Analysis. If a Member fails to timely select an actuary, the actuary selected by the other Member shall prepare the Actuarial Analysis. If two actuaries are selected, the two actuaries shall select a third actuary after completing their analyses, who shall select one of the two analyses as the Actuarial Analysis. Any inability to agree upon a third actuary shall be resolved by an Arbitrator who has been appointed by either the Members or, if the Members are unable to agree on an Arbitrator, the Delaware Court of Chancery. If the Actuarial Analysis recommends an Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve in an amount less than the amount then held in the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve, such Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve shall be decreased to match the recommended amount, and the amounts in the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve in excess of the recommended amount shall be treated as Available Cash and used or distributed by the Company to the Members as provided elsewhere in this Agreement (provided that the distribution of such Available Cash shall be a Major Decision determined by the Board at the Board’s discretion). For clarity, if the Actuarial Analysis finds that an Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve is no longer necessary, all amounts in the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve shall be treated as Available Cash and used or distributed by the Company to the Members as provided elsewhere in this Agreement (provided that the distribution of such Available Cash shall be a Major Decision determined by the Board at the Board’s discretion). Notwithstanding what the actuary recommends, (i) in no event shall the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve exceed the Warranty Threshold, and (ii) Builder may from time to time direct that the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve be reduced (or eliminated), in which case, the excess proceeds in (or the entirety of) the Warranty Reserve shall be treated as Available Cash and used or distributed by the Company to the Members as provided elsewhere in this Agreement (provided that the distribution of such Available Cash shall be a Major Decision determined by the Board at the Board’s discretion). E. The fees and costs related to the Actuarial Analysis shall be paid by the Company.


 
099999\14127737v20 36 F. Prior to the 30th day after the Members receive the results from the Actuarial Analysis, Investor may again request that the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve be eliminated and that the entirety of the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve be treated as Available Cash and used or distributed by the Company to the Members as provided elsewhere in this Agreement (provided that the distribution of such Available Cash shall be a Major Decision determined by the Board at the Board’s discretion). If Builder does not approve Investor’s request to eliminate the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve when the Company dissolves and liquidates, Investor may forfeit Investor’s right to the proceeds in the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve by notifying Manager in writing, in which case (i) Builder and the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Investor from and against Warranty Expenses arising out of Unknown Claims; and (ii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Builder shall be entitled to all proceeds held in the Unknown Claims Warranty Reserve and shall be entitled to cause the Company to disburse such proceeds at such time as Builder elects. G. Neither the existence of or use of the Warranty Reserve shall alter or limit the indemnity obligations under this Agreement or the Construction Management Agreement.

Funds within the Company’s Accounts shall be segregated from each Subsidiary Entity’s Accounts, funds within each Subsidiary Entity’s Accounts shall be segregated from the Company’s Accounts and the other Subsidiary Entities’ Accounts. 6.6.2 Loan Draws. If a Loan is obtained, Manager shall process disbursement requests for Budgeted Costs and Unbudgeted Permitted Costs, in each case, to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents and shall otherwise oversee the Company’s or the applicable Subsidiary Entity’s compliance with the Loan Documents. If the Loan Documents have restrictions specific to a Member or its Affiliate (e.g., restrictions on indirect transfers, financial covenants or acceleration upon bankruptcy), such Member shall (and shall cause its Affiliate) to not violate such restrictions if a violation of such restriction would materially and adversely impact the Company or a Subsidiary Entity. Section 6.7 Insurance. To the extent commercially available at commercially reasonable rates, Manager at the Company’s cost and expense shall cause the Company and the Subsidiary Entities to obtain the minimum insurance required under Exhibit K through brokers, carriers, providers and other third parties selected by Manager. If the minimum insurance required under Exhibit K is not commercially available at commercially reasonable rates, Manager shall

If the PDR Triggering Member fails to state that the PDR Triggering Member will bid on the Dispute Project in the PDR Trigger Notice, then the PDR Triggering Member shall be deemed to have elected not to bid on the Dispute Project. Within 10 days after receipt of the PDR Trigger Notice, the other Member (the “PDR Responding Member”) shall notify the PDR Triggering Member if the PDR Responding Member intends to bid on the Dispute Project.

After a Disposition PSA is executed, the terms of such Disposition PSA shall govern the sale of such Dispute Project. 11.3.3 Non-Bidding Member Disapproval. If the Non-Bidding Member does not initially approve the Bid because the Non-Bidding Member (acting reasonably and in good faith) determines that the Bid is below-market, the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Entity shall market the Dispute Project to Third-Party Potential Purchasers. 11.3.4 No Better Offer. If the Company or, if applicable, the Subsidiary Entity does not receive an offer from a Third-Party Potential Purchaser within 60 days containing more advantageous terms than the Bid, then the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Entity, on the one hand, and the Bidding Member (or its designee), on the other hand, shall enter into a Disposition PSA with respect to the Dispute Project. After such Disposition PSA is executed, the terms of such Disposition PSA shall govern the sale of the Dispute Project. 11.3.5 Right of First Refusal. If the Company or, if applicable, the Subsidiary Entity has received Third-Party Offered Terms within the 60-day period described above containing more advantageous terms than the Bid, then the Company or, if applicable, the Subsidiary Entity shall offer the Dispute Project to the Bidding Member on the same terms as the Third-Party Offered Terms. 11.3.6 Acceptance of ROFR. If the Bidding Member accepts the Third-Party Offered Terms by written notice (a “ROFR Notice”) within five business days after the Bidding Member receives written notice of the Third-Party Offered Terms under Section 11.3.5, then the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Entity, on the one hand, and the Bidding Member (or its designee), on the other hand, shall enter into a Disposition PSA with respect to the Dispute Project.

The Members shall continue to share profits, losses, gain or loss on sale or disposition, and Distributable Cash during the period of liquidation in the same manner and proportion as though the Company had not dissolved.

ARTICLE XIII FORCED LIQUIDATION Section 13.1 Forced Liquidation Notice. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, either Investor or Builder (the “FL Triggering Member”) may trigger the operation of this Section 13.1 by delivering written notice (in each case, the “Forced Liquidation Notice”) to the other Member (the “Non-Triggering Member”) after the fifth anniversary of the date on which the Company or a Subsidiary Entity acquired title to the first Approved Project. No Forced Liquidation Notice may be rescinded once given without the written consent of all Members. If the Non-Triggering Member elects to acquire the FL Triggering Member’s interest in the Company (the “FL Triggering Member Membership Interest”), then within 60 days after receipt of a Forced Liquidation Notice, the Non-Triggering Member shall identify by written notice to Manager and the FL Triggering Member (a “Non-Triggering Member Valuation Notice”) a single value for all of the real property owned by the Company and the Subsidiary Entities as of the Date of Value as the basis for the calculation required under this Article XIII (a “Non-Triggering Member Valuation”), which calculation shall include Non-Triggering Member’s calculation of the Buy Price for the FL Triggering Member Membership Interest. Non- Triggering Member’s calculation of the Buy Price based on the Non-Triggering Member Valuation shall be subject to verification and correction if it does not correctly reflect the calculations required by this Agreement. Section 13.2 Responsive Notice. 13.2.1 Failure to Deliver Non-Triggering Member Valuation Notice. If Non- Triggering Member fails to provide a Non-Triggering Member Valuation Notice, FL Triggering Member may cause the Company and each Subsidiary Entity to market and sell the portfolio of Approved Projects (the “Remaining Portfolio”) in accordance with Section 13.8 below.


 
099999\14127737v20 49 13.2.2 FL Triggering Member Determination. If Non-Triggering Member provides a Non-Triggering Member Valuation and FL Triggering Member disagrees with such Non-Triggering Member Valuation, FL Triggering Member and Non-Triggering Member shall negotiate in good faith to determine a mutually acceptable valuation (a “Mutual Valuation”) during the 45-day period following the date of the Non-Triggering Member Valuation Notice (the “Responsive Notice Period”). Prior to the expiration of the Responsive Notice Period, FL Triggering Member shall deliver to Non-Triggering Member a responsive notice (the “Responsive Notice”) electing either of the following (if FL Triggering Member fails to respond prior to the expiration of the Responsive Notice Period, FL Triggering Member shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause A below): A. To value the Remaining Portfolio and, if the Fair Market Value is greater than the Non-Triggering Member Valuation, to market and sell the Remaining Portfolio in accordance with Section 13.8 below if Non-Triggering Member does not elect to purchase FL Triggering Member’s interest for the Buy Price using the Fair Market Value in accordance with clause (i) of Section 13.3; or B. To sell the FL Triggering Member Membership Interest at the Buy Price using the Non-Triggering Member Valuation or the Mutual Valuation as set forth in the Responsive Notice. No Responsive Notice may be rescinded once given without the written consent of all Members (even if the calculation of the Buy Price initially calculated by Manager, Non- Triggering Member or FL Triggering Member is incorrect). Section 13.3 FL Triggering Member Determination. If FL Triggering Member elects (or is deemed to have elected) to proceed under Section 13.2.2A, then within 30 days after the expiration of the Responsive Notice Period, (A) the Members shall engage a single appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of the Remaining Portfolio or (B) each Member shall select an appraiser to determine the Fair Market Value of the Remaining Portfolio (in accordance with the procedures set forth in the defined term “Fair Market Value”) if the Members are unable to agree upon a single appraiser. After the Fair Market Value has been determined, if the Fair Market Value is less than the Non-Triggering Member Valuation, Non-Triggering Member shall acquire FL Triggering Member’s interest for the Buy Price using the Non-Triggering Member Valuation. If the Fair Market Value is greater than the Non-Triggering Member Valuation, Non-Triggering Member may elect to either (i) acquire FL Triggering Member’s interest for the Buy Price using the Fair Market Value or (ii) cause the Company and each Subsidiary Entity to sell the Remaining Portfolio in accordance with Section 13.8 below. Section 13.4 Loans. If a Loan becomes due as a result of the Buy/Sell Closing or at the time of closing any indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Entity is prepaid (any such indebtedness shall be collectively “Accelerated Debt”), then the Company indebtedness used to determine the Buy Price (i.e., the amount of indebtedness deducted for the hypothetical liquidation) shall include all prepayment penalties and yield maintenance payments due on Accelerated Debt as of the date of Buy/Sell Closing. If the above calculations result in a Buy Price that is zero or a negative number, the Buy Price shall be deemed to be $100.


 
099999\14127737v20 50 Section 13.5 Closing Process. 13.5.1 Closing Date. The closing for the sale of the FL Triggering Member Membership Interest (the “Buy/Sell Closing”) shall be conducted through a national title company if the Members mutually agree to use a formal escrow agent (as opposed to not using an escrow agent). The closing date (the “Buy/Sell Closing Date”) shall be (A) the date that is 60 days from the determination of the Buy Price, or (B) an earlier date selected by Non-Triggering Member after the determination of the Buy Price. The Buy/Sell Closing shall take place on the Buy/Sell Closing Date. 13.5.2 Payment of Buy Price. The Buy Price for the FL Triggering Member Membership Interest shall be paid in immediately available funds. 13.5.3 Transfer of Interest. FL Triggering Member shall transfer its membership interest in the Company to Non-Triggering Member (or its designee) free and clear of all liens and encumbrances. The assignment of membership interests shall be in the form of Exhibit J (the “Membership Assignment”). A creditworthy Affiliate of FL Triggering Member shall join the Membership Assignment to guaranty that each of the representations and warranties set forth therein are true, correct and complete. For the purposes of this Section 13.5.3, (A) Builder hereby agrees that Investor Guarantor, is an approved creditworthy Affiliate of Investor and (B) Investor hereby agrees that TM Guarantor, is an approved creditworthy Affiliate of Builder. Non-Triggering Member shall be entitled to require FL Triggering Member to transfer the FL Triggering Member Membership Interest to Non-Triggering Member’s affiliate or designee. Prior to the Buy/Sell Closing, the Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts (without implying any obligation to expend additional funds) to obtain a release of FL Triggering Member and its Affiliates with respect to liabilities under Loan Guaranties relating to matters first arising from and after the Buy/Sell Closing (such liabilities are referred to herein as “Post-Closing Liabilities”). If the Members are unable to obtain the release of FL Triggering Member and its Affiliates with respect to Post-Closing Liabilities, FL Triggering Member and its Affiliates shall be indemnified under the Backstop Agreement. 13.5.4 Accounting. Not later than 10 days before the Buy/Sell Closing Date, Manager shall direct the Accountant to provide the Members with balance sheets for the Company and each Subsidiary Entity as of the Buy/Sell Closing Date showing all items of income and expense of the Company and each Subsidiary Entity earned or accrued as of the Buy/Sell Closing Date. 13.5.5 Assurances.

099999\14127737v20 51 B. Closing costs shall be borne by the party who customarily bears such costs in the jurisdiction where the Approved Project is located when real property is sold or purchased (as opposed to the sale and purchase of a membership interest) as if the Company or a Subsidiary Entity is the seller, on the one hand, and Non- Triggering Member is the buyer, on the other hand. Real estate taxes and special assessments on the Approved Project shall be prorated on the basis of the taxes and assessments paid for the most recent fiscal year that has been assessed and billed. If the actual taxes and special assessments for the year of the Buy/Sell Closing are not determinable at the Buy/Sell Closing, taxes and special assessments shall be re- prorated promptly after issuance of the tax bill for the year of closing. Collected rents and expense pass-throughs shall be adjusted to the date of the Buy/Sell Closing in the manner customary in the jurisdiction where the Approved Project is located. Management or development fees, insurance, debt service and other operating costs through the date of the Buy/Sell Closing shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Buy/Sell Closing. All adjustments shall be made on the basis of good faith estimates of the Members using currently available information, and final adjustment shall be made promptly after precise figures are determined or available, and in any event within 90 days after the Buy/Sell Closing. All prorations and adjustments shall be made without duplication and in a manner consistent with customary practice in the jurisdiction in which the Approved Project is located. Any disagreement between Non-Triggering Member and FL Triggering Member in such prorations and adjustments or otherwise in the calculation of the final net payment due FL Triggering Member shall be conclusively resolved by the Accountant. C. The Buy Price shall be reduced by any distributions made by the Company to FL Triggering Member during the period between the determination of the Buy Price and the Buy/Sell Closing. Section 13.6 Reasonableness of Forced Liquidation Rights. The Members hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that the rights to acquire the FL Triggering Member Membership Interests in accordance with this Article XIII (the “Buy-Out Rights”) are not intended to be a penalty, but have been established as the result of an arm’s-length negotiation and in recognition of the fact that the such interests represent illiquid interests in a privately held company. Without limiting the foregoing, the Members acknowledge and agree that: (A) the Buy-Out Rights are a material inducement to each Member’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and to make capital contributions to the Company; (B) each Member has received a material economic benefit from the actions described in clause (A) above; (C) each Member has carefully read and considered all of the terms and conditions of the Buy-Out Rights and agrees that they are reasonable and proper; (D) were any Member to materially breach its obligation to transfer its interest in the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the damage to the other Member would be irreparable and such other Member’s remedies at law would be inadequate and, in the event of any breach of any of such obligations, and in addition to its remedies at law, such other Member shall be entitled to obtain (and the other Member shall not oppose) equitable relief in the form of specific performance or other appropriate equitable remedies, without having to post bond; and (E) in the event that any provision of the Buy-Out Rights shall be determined by any


 
099999\14127737v20 52 court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be modified to permit its enforcement to the maximum extent permitted by law. Section 13.7 Transition of Operations. If Non-Triggering Member is acquiring the FL Triggering Member Membership Interest under this Article XIII, Non-Triggering Member shall no longer need approval from FL Triggering Member or the Board during the period between the determination of the Buy Price and the Buy/Sell Closing. Section 13.8 Sale of Remaining Portfolio. 13.8.1 Third-Party Offered Terms. If Non-Triggering Member does not elect to acquire the FL Triggering Member Membership Interest as provided in this Article XIII, then the Remaining Portfolio shall be marketed to a third-party purchaser. If the Company or, if applicable, a Subsidiary Entity receives Third-Party Offered Terms for the Remaining Portfolio (or an Approved Project within the Remaining Portfolio) that are reasonably acceptable to FL Triggering Member, then the Company or, if applicable, the Subsidiary Entity shall offer the Remaining Portfolio (or such Approved Project within the Remaining Portfolio) to Non-Triggering Member on the same terms as the Third-Party Offered Terms. 13.8.2 Non-Triggering Member Election to Purchase. If Non-Triggering Member accepts the Third-Party Offered Terms within 15 days after Non-Triggering Member receives written notice of the Third-Party Offered Terms, then the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Entity, on the one hand, and Non-Triggering Member, on the other hand, shall enter into a Disposition PSA with respect to the Remaining Portfolio (or an Approved Project within the Remaining Portfolio) based on the Third-Party Offered Terms. After a Disposition PSA is executed, the terms of the Disposition PSA shall govern the sale of the Remaining Portfolio or such Approved Project within the Remaining Portfolio that is the subject of such Disposition PSA. 13.8.3 Non-Triggering Member Election to Sell. If Non-Triggering Member fails to deliver written notice within the 15-day period or elects not to purchase the Remaining Portfolio or such Approved Project within the Remaining Portfolio based on the Third-Party Offered Terms, then the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Entity, on the one hand, and the applicable third-party purchaser, on the other hand, shall enter into a Third-Party PSA for the Remaining Portfolio or such Approved Project within the Remaining Portfolio based on the Third-Party Offered Terms within 60 days after the expiration of such 15-day period. If (A) the Third-Party PSA is not entered into within such 60-day period, (B) the Non-Refundability Condition is not timely satisfied, or (C) the Third-Party PSA is otherwise terminated prior to the closing under the Third-Party PSA, the procedure under this Section 13.8 shall be repeated (i.e., Non-Triggering Member shall have a right of first refusal based on the Third-Party Offered Terms received by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary Entity).

In no event shall an attorney/client relationship exist between K&E, on the one hand, and the Company, a Subsidiary Entity, Builder or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, as a result of any such representation. K&E shall be permitted to render legal advice and to provide legal services to the Company and the Subsidiary Entities from time to time, and each Member covenants and agrees that such representation of the Company or a Subsidiary Entity by K&E shall not: (i) result in the existence of an attorney/client relationship between K&E, on the one hand, and the Company, a Subsidiary Entity, Builder or their Affiliates, on the other hand; or (ii) disqualify K&E from providing legal advice and legal services as set forth in this Section 15.16.2 at any time in the future. 15.16.3 Survival. This Section 15.16 shall survive the termination of the Agreement, the liquidation of the Company, the dissolution of the Company, the withdrawal, resignation or retirement of a Member from the Company, the transfer of a Member’s interest in the Company and the liquidation of a Member’s interest in the Company. Section 15.17 Environmental, Social and Governance. 15.17.1 Policies. Builder has adopted certain environmental, social and governance policies, statements and procedures, including those policies, statements and procedures published in the Taylor Morrison Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2020 and on the Taylor Morrison website (https://www.taylormorrison.com/) (such policies procedures and any future policies and procedures adopted by Builder, each an “ESG Policy” and together, the “ESG Policies”). While the ESG Policies often share the same general goals of supporting a healthy environment, advancing social equality and dignity, and promoting good corporate governance principles, the means by which a Person chooses to achieve these objectives and the balance a Person strikes between these objectives and other objectives, such as business and financial objectives, can vary significantly. Manager recognizes the benefits of following good environmental, social and corporate governance policies and expects that in many cases these objectives should align with the business, financial and other objectives that Manager will take into consideration in managing the Company and the Subsidiary Entities. Because Manager must balance these competing policies and objectives, Manager will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the ESG Policies and agrees to consider such ESG Policies in conjunction with any other such policies when managing the Company. Failure


 
099999\14127737v20 58 to comply with the ESG Policies shall not be a breach on the part of Manager or subject Manager to damages, unless such non-compliance violates another unrelated provision of this Agreement. 15.17.2 Information. Manager shall provide Investor, upon Investor’s written request, such information available to Manager that is reasonably requested by Investor so that Investor may monitor Investor’s compliance with Investor’s own environmental, social and governance current and future reporting requirements (e.g., requirements of being a member of Principles for Responsible Investment) with respect to the Proposed Projects and the Proposed Competitive Projects, including a copy of each Taylor Morrison Environmental, Social and Governance Report issued by TMHC or its Affiliate. In the event Investor requires additional environmental, social or governance investigations or audits of the Proposed Projects or the Proposed Competitive Projects, Investor will do so at its sole cost and expense and Manager will reasonably cooperate with Investor’s efforts.
