DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 9.1                                   Distributions Generally.

Payments shall be made to the Members by the Company at such times as are determined by the Managing Member, but in no event less frequently than once per calendar quarter.  The amounts so advanced to the Members shall be treated as advances or drawings of money against their distributive shares of Company income and as current distributions made on the last day of the Company’s taxable year.  Except in connection with a liquidation of the Company (which shall be governed by Section 9.4), any distribution shall be made 95% to the Trusts and 5% to the other Members.  Distributions among the other Members shall be in proportion to their Percentage Interests.  Distributions between the Trusts shall be in accordance with Section 9.6 below.

The Trusts shall have the right to have the Company transfer any distributions to which the Trusts are otherwise entitled under this Agreement to a separate Company account designated as the Trusts Portfolio.  The Trusts Portfolio shall be invested as determined by a committee comprised of the Trust Designated Investment Committee Members (the “Trusts Portfolio Committee”).  The Trusts Portfolio Committee shall have the right to require the distribution to the Trust Members of all or a portion of the assets or proceeds in the Trusts Portfolio at any time and from time to time.

Section 9.3                                   Tax Distributions.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require the incurrence of debt by the Company) to distribute

19

Section 9.4                                   Liquidating Distributions.

Liquidating distributions shall be made in accordance with the Member’s positive Capital Account balances.  Prior to any liquidating distributions, the assets of the Company shall be appraised at fair market value by an appraiser selected by the Managing Member.  Any items of income, gain, loss, expense or deduction that would have resulted had such assets been sold at such appraised fair market value shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Article VIII.  Each Member shall then be entitled to receive cash and property with a fair market value equal to the positive balance in such Member’s Capital Account after the foregoing allocations.  No Member shall have the right to receive any particular asset of the Company, and the nature of the assets to be distributed to each Member shall be determined by the Managing Member.  No Member shall have the obligation to restore or repay any negative balance in its Capital Account.

Section 9.5                                   Limitation on Distributions.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, and the Managing Member on behalf of the Company, shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member on account of its Interests if such distribution would violate Sections 18-607 or 18-804(a)(1) of the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

(a)                                  The Tax Matters Member shall arrange for the preparation of and timely filing of all returns relating to Company income, gains, losses, deductions and credits, as necessary for federal, state and local income tax purposes.  Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of and in fulfilling its tax obligations.  The Tribune Members shall have a right to review in draft form all tax returns of the Company at least 10 days prior to the Company filing such tax returns.

(b)                                 Trust 1 is hereby designated as “Tax Matters Member” of the Company for purposes of § 6231(a)(7) of the Code and is authorized and required to represent the Company in connection with any administrative proceeding at the Company level with the

22




 

Internal Revenue Service relating to the determination of any item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for federal income tax purposes.  If for any reason the Tax Matters Member resigns or can no longer serve in that capacity, the Managing Member may designate another Member to be the Tax Matters Member.

(c)                                  The Tax Matters Member shall, within ten (10) days of the receipt of any notice from the Internal Revenue Service in any administrative proceeding at the Company level relating to the determination of any Company item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, mail a copy of such notice to each Member.

Section 11.2                            Right to Make Section 754 Election.  The Tax Matters Member may make or revoke, on behalf of the Company, all elections in accordance with Section 754 of the Code, so as to adjust the basis of Company property in the case of a distribution of property within the meaning of Section 734 of the Code, and in the case of a transfer of a Company interest within the meaning of Section 743 of the Code.  Each Member shall, upon request of the Tax Matters Member, supply the information necessary to give effect to such an election.  Any Trust Member or Representative has the right to require the Tax Matters Member to make a Section 754 election.

Section 11.3                            Taxation as Partnership.  The Company shall be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE XII

LIABILITY, EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 12.1                            Liability.  Except as otherwise provided by the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Covered Person shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Covered Person.

Section 12.2                            Exculpation.

(a)                                  No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Covered Person for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and provided that such action or omission does not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by the Covered Person.

(b)                                 A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses, or any other facts

23




 

pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid.

Section 12.3                            Duties and Liabilities of Covered Persons.

(a)                                  To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Company or to any other Covered Person, a Covered Person acting under this Agreement shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Covered Person for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.  The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

(b)                                 Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between Covered Persons, or (ii) whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein provides that a Covered Person shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Company or any Member, the Covered Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, taking such action or providing such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest), such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices, and any applicable generally accepted accounting practices or principles.  In the absence of bad faith by the Covered Person, the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Covered Person shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Covered Person at law or in equity or otherwise.

(c)                                  Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Covered Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or other applicable law.

Section 12.4                            Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of authority conferred on such Covered Person by this Agreement; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 12.4 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Covered Person shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

Section 12.5                            Expenses.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an

24




 

undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 12.4 hereof.

Section 12.6                            Insurance.  The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as the Managing Member shall deem reasonable, on behalf of Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.  The Managing Member and the Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 12.5 hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnification as are appropriate.

Section 12.7                            Outside Business.  Any Member or Affiliate thereof may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Company, and the Company and the Members shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any venture, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.  No Member or Affiliate thereof shall be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, and any Member or Affiliate thereof shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner, shareholder, fiduciary or otherwise) or recommend to others any such particular investment opportunity.

ARTICLE XIII

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 13.1                            Dissolution.  The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a)                                  at any time there are no Members of the Company, unless the Company is continued in accordance with the Delaware Act;

(b)                                 the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act; or

(c)                                  upon consent of the Trust Members.

Section 13.2                            Notice of Dissolution.  Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall promptly notify the Members of such dissolution.

Section 13.3                            Liquidation.  Upon dissolution of the Company, such person(s) who shall be selected by the Managing Member, as liquidating trustee(s), shall immediately commence to wind up the Company’s affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for

25




 

the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation.  In the period of dissolution and liquidation of the Company, the Members shall be allocated all items as specified in Article VIII hereof, and shall receive distributions of cash as provided by Section 9.1; provided, however, that the liquidating trustees shall have the discretion to set aside adequate reserves for the payment of the Company’s expenses and liabilities including all contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities of the Company.  The proceeds of liquidation shall be distributed in accordance with Section 9.4 after satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company, whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for the payment thereof.

Section 13.4                            Termination.  The Company shall terminate when all of the assets of the Company have been distributed in the manner provided for in this Article XIII, and the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Delaware Act.

Section 13.5                            Claims of the Members.  Members and former Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.

ARTICLE XIV

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
COVENANTS OF THE MEMBERS

Section 14.1                            Representations.  Each Member represents and warrants to and covenants with the other Members and the Company as follows:

(a)                                  If such Member is an entity, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation with all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b)                                 This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Member enforceable against such Member in accordance with its terms.

(c)                                  No consents or approvals from, or notification of or filings with any governmental authority or other Person are required for such Member to enter into this Agreement.  All action on the part of such Member necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly taken.

(d)                                 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Member and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by such Member do not conflict with or contravene the provisions of any organizational document, agreement or instrument by which such Member or such Member’s properties are bound or any law, rule, regulation, order or decree to which such Member or such Member’s properties are subject.

26




 

Section 14.2                            Confidentiality.

(a)                                  Confidential Information.  Each Member shall, except as may be specifically permitted hereunder, (i) use its best efforts to protect the proprietary or confidential information of the Company in the same manner it protects its own proprietary or confidential information, (ii) not disclose to any other Person (other than to Affiliates or the beneficiaries of the Trusts who have a legitimate need for or right to such information and who are advised of the confidential nature of such information; provided, however, that such Member shall be liable for any disclosure or use of such information by such Affiliate or beneficiary as if such Member had so disclosed or used such information) the existence or terms of this Agreement, or any other contract or agreement between the Company, the Members or the Members’ Affiliates, unless the Managing Member has consented thereto, and (iii) not use the confidential and proprietary information of the others except to the extent and for the purposes contemplated in this Agreement or permitted by any other contract or agreement between the Company, the Members or any of the Members’ Affiliates.

(b)                                 Exceptions.  The obligations of confidentiality and nonuse imposed under this Section 14.2 shall not apply to any confidential or proprietary information of the disclosing party which:

(i)                                     is or becomes public or available to the general public otherwise than through any act or default of the non-disclosing party;

(ii)                                  is obtained or derived from a third party which, to the best knowledge of the non-disclosing party, is lawfully in possession of such information and does not hold such information subject to any confidentiality or nonuse obligations; or

(iii)                               is required or appropriate to be disclosed by one of the parties pursuant to applicable law (including, without limitation, disclosure required or appropriate under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act); provided, however, that (A) the obligations of confidentiality and nonuse shall continue to the fullest extent not in conflict with such law or order, and (B) if and when a party is required to disclose such confidential or proprietary information pursuant to any such law or order, such party shall use its best efforts to (1) give the other party prompt notice of such requirement so as to permit such party time in which to appeal, oppose or take other protective action and (2) obtain a protective order or take such other actions as will prevent or limit, to the fullest extent possible, public access to, or disclosure of, such confidential or proprietary information.

ARTICLE XV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 15.1                            Amendments.  Any amendment to this Agreement shall be adopted and be effective as an amendment hereto if approved by Mutual Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment shall be made, and any such purported amendment shall be void and ineffective, to the extent the result thereof would be to cause the Company to be treated as anything other than a partnership for purposes of United States income taxation.

27




 

Section 15.2                            Notices.  All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing, duly signed by the party giving such notice, and shall be delivered, telecopied or mailed by registered or certified mail, as follows.

Chandler Trust No. 1
350 West Colorado Blvd. Suite 230
Pasadena, California  91105

(b)                                 If given to any Member, at the address set forth on Schedule A or, if a current address does not appear on Schedule A, on the books and records of the Company.

All such notices shall be deemed to have been given when received.

Section 15.3                            Failure to Pursue Remedies.  The failure of any party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation from having the effect of an original violation.

Section 15.4                            Cumulative Remedies.  The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies.  Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.

Section 15.5                            Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and assigns.

Section 15.6                            Interpretation.  Throughout this Agreement, nouns, pronouns and verbs shall be construed as masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, whichever shall be applicable.  All references herein to “Articles,” “Sections” and “Paragraphs” shall refer to corresponding provisions of this Agreement.

Section 15.7                            Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

Section 15.8                            Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.  All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument.

Section 15.9                            Integration.  This Agreement, together with that certain letter agreement of even date herewith among the Members, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

28




Section 15.10                     Governing LawThis Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, and all rights and remedies shall be governed by such laws without regard to principles of conflict of laws.

 

Section 15.11                     Consent to Jurisdiction and Forum Selection.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the parties hereto agree that all actions or proceedings arising in connection with this Agreement shall be tried and litigated exclusively in the State and Federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California or the State of Delaware.  The aforementioned choice of venue is intended by the parties to be mandatory and not permissive in nature, thereby precluding the possibility of litigation between the parties with respect to or arising out of this Agreement in any jurisdiction other than that specified in this paragraph.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party hereby waives any right it may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any proceeding brought in accordance with this paragraph, and stipulates that the State and Federal courts located in the County of Los Angeles, State of California or the State of Delaware shall have personal jurisdiction and venue over each of them for the purpose of litigating any dispute, controversy, or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party hereby authorizes and accepts service of process sufficient for personal jurisdiction in any action against it as contemplated by this paragraph by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to its address for the giving of notices as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 15.12                     Attorneys’ Fees.  If either party to this Agreement shall bring any action, suit, counterclaim, appeal or arbitration for any relief against the other to enforce the terms hereof or to declare rights hereunder (collectively, an “Action”), the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party a reasonable sum for attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in bringing and prosecuting such Action and/or enforcing any judgment, order, ruling, or award.  For the purposes of this paragraph, attorneys’ fees shall include, without limitation, fees incurred in discovery, postjudgment motions and collection actions, and bankruptcy litigation.  “Prevailing party” within the meaning of this paragraph includes, without limitation, a party who agrees to dismiss an Action on the other party’s payment of the sums allegedly due or performance of the covenants allegedly breached, or who obtains substantially the relief sought by it.
