Attollo shall devote such time to the Company and its business and affairs as shall be necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an efficient manner and to carry out the Administrator’s responsibilities as set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (but subject to the express restrictions set forth in Section 4.1(c) and Section 4.1(e)), the Administrator shall have the right and duty to do, accomplish and complete, for and on behalf of the Company all of the actions set forth on Schedule 4.1(a) hereto. The Administrator shall perform all of its obligations under this Agreement with reasonable diligence and in a prompt and businesslike manner, exercising such care and skill as a prudent investor with sophistication and experience in acquiring, owning, operating and managing companies like the Company and its Subsidiaries and properties like the Properties would exercise in dealing with its own assets. The Administrator shall comply with, and shall cause each employee and agent of the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with, all Applicable Laws.

 

(b)        Except as provided in Pettinelli’s Employment Agreement, the Administrator shall not be entitled to compensation for serving as the Administrator.

For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that any action is expressly authorized by the then current Budget, the Administrator may take such action without any further consent of the Manager or any other Member. The Administrator may not cause or permit any individual line item in the then current Budget to be exceeded without the consent of the Manager. The Administrator may not execute any lease or other occupancy agreement or acquire any real or personal property in the name of, or on behalf of, the Company or any Subsidiary unless (i) expressly approved in writing by the Manager in advance or (ii) executed or consummated, as applicable, in accordance with a business plan and/or policy regarding such matters previously adopted by the Manager in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall have the right and responsibility to market and sell Properties upon the expiration or termination of the leases applicable to such Properties, subject to the Manager’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the final sale price therefor.

 

(d)       Without limiting any of the rights of the Manager set forth in this Agreement, if the Administrator fails to perform or comply with, or to cause the performance of or compliance with, any obligation or duty imposed on it pursuant to this Agreement, then, without limiting any other remedy available to the Manager, the Manager may perform or comply with, or cause the performance of or compliance with, that obligation or duty and any reasonable out-of-pocket expense arising from that performance or compliance, other than any expense that would have been incurred by the Company had the Administrator so acted, will be borne by the Administrator.

 

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, concurrently with the earlier of (i) the termination of Pettinelli’s Employment Agreement or (ii) the delivery of a Termination Notice (as defined in the Employment Agreement) by any party under such Employment Agreement, Attollo shall be deemed removed as the Administrator under this Agreement and (A) shall have no further rights as the “Administrator” under this Agreement, and (B) shall not have any veto, consent or voting rights in its capacity as a Member with respect to any action or decision of the Company or any Subsidiary, except for Unanimous Actions, which shall require all of the Members’ consent at all times.

 

(f)        In the event of the removal of the Administrator hereunder, the former Administrator shall account to the Company with respect to all uncompleted business of the Administrator, and the Manager shall have the right, but not the obligation, to appoint any Person (whether or not such Person is a Member) as a substitute Administrator.

 

(g)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, at any time, the Company or any Subsidiary enters into an agreement with an Affiliate of the Administrator, then the Manager shall have the exclusive right to act on behalf of the Company with respect to the negotiation and approval of such agreement, as well as the enforcement of the rights and remedies of the Company or such Subsidiary and defaults under any such agreement (including the exercise of any applicable right of termination in accordance with the terms thereof). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of the removal of the Administrator hereunder, the Manager may in its sole discretion cause any and all agreements with any Affiliates of the Administrator to be terminated.

 

19

 

(h)       Attollo covenants and agrees that in its capacity as Administrator, it (and its direct and indirect members, owners, employees and agents) shall conduct any business related to the business of the Company or the Subsidiaries in accordance with the compliance policy attached hereto as Schedule 4.1(h)(i), or a substantially similar compliance program that is reasonably acceptable to the Manager, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Persons with whom the Company or any Subsidiary conducts business (including contractors, consultants and agents) to perform their responsibilities in accordance with such policy. Accordingly, Administrator shall cause all written agreements between the Company or a Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any Person with whom the Company or any Subsidiary conducts business in excess of $25,000 per year, on the other hand, to include language substantially similar to that set forth on Schedule 4.1(h)(ii) attached hereto. Majority Member shall have the right to perform a periodic anti-corruption re-diligence.

(b)     The Manager shall be appointed by the Majority Member. The Majority Member is hereby appointed as the initial Manager.

 

(c)     The Manager may be removed only by the Majority Member. The Manager may resign as Manager by giving not less than thirty (30) days written notice to the Company and each Member, and such resignation shall take effect at such time as is specified in such notice of resignation. The resignation of the Manager shall not affect such Manager’s rights as a Member, if any, and shall not constitute a withdrawal of a Member. Upon the resignation of the Manager, the successor Manager shall be selected by the Majority Member; provided, however, that so long as Attollo is serving as Administrator hereunder, any successor Manager shall be an Affiliate of the Majority Member.

 

20

 

(d)      The Manager shall not be entitled to compensation for serving as Manager. The Manager shall be entitled to the reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses it incurs on behalf of the Company.

 

(e)      Whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Manager exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove or to provide or withhold consent or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory or acceptable to the Manager, all such decisions, directions and determinations made by the Manager shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager, except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, and shall be final and conclusive. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or anything to the contrary existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, the Manager shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, owe no duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company or the Members. To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, this Agreement eliminates any fiduciary duties that the Manager has to the Company or the Members; provided, however, that (A) the Manager shall act in accordance with this Agreement and the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing and (B) the Manager may be liable to the Company and its Members if the Manager engaged in willful misconduct.

Any such officer or agent (an “Authorized Person”) may be removed by the decision of the Manager at any time, with or without cause. Each Authorized Person shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified, unless earlier removed in accordance with this Section 4.3. Any number of offices may be held by the same individual.

 

(b)        The Authorized Persons, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Manager not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business, and the actions of the Authorized Persons taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.

 

(c)        Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or anything to the contrary existing at law, in equity, or otherwise, each of the Authorized Persons and officers, of the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, owe no duties (including fiduciary duties) to the Company or the Members. To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, this Agreement eliminates any fiduciary duties that any Authorized Person or officer of the Company has to the Company or the Members.

 

Section 4.4.      Budget. (a) The Company previously adopted a Budget for Fiscal Year 2022 pursuant to the Prior Agreement, which Budget is hereby ratified. The Manager may direct the Administrator at any time to prepare, and the Administrator shall prepare, taking into account such circumstances as the Manager deems appropriate, a proposed revised budget for the balance of the then-current Fiscal Year, which shall become the Budget for such Fiscal Year upon written approval by the Manager.

(b)        Not later than fifteen (15) days prior the beginning of each Fiscal Year beginning with Fiscal Year 2023, the Administrator shall prepare for the Company and present to the Manager a proposed budget for the Company and its Subsidiaries for such Fiscal Year (containing such detail as reasonably requested by the Manager). Such proposed budget shall not be deemed the Budget for such Fiscal Year until accepted by the Manager’s express written approval. Not later than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Manager of a proposed budget (or such longer period as the Manager may reasonably request on notice to the Administrator), the Manager may deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) to the Administrator stating that the Manager objects to any information contained in or omitted from such proposed budget and setting forth the nature of such objections. Failure of the Manager to deliver an Objection Notice or an approval notice shall be deemed rejection of the Administrator’s proposed budget in its entirety. Upon receipt of any Objection Notice, the Administrator shall modify the proposed budget, taking into account the Manager’s objections, and shall resubmit the same to the Manager for the Manager’s approval within fifteen (15) days thereafter, and the Manager may deliver further Objection Notices (if any) within fifteen (15) days thereafter (in which event, the re-submission and review process described above in this sentence shall continue until the budget in question is accepted and consented to by the Manager). As to any portion of a proposed budget that is the subject of an Objection Notice after the start of the new Fiscal Year, the Budget for the immediately preceding Fiscal Year shall be deemed to control pending resolution by the Manager of the disputed items to the extent it is applicable thereto.

 

(c)        If the Administrator and the Manager have not agreed on the Budget for a Fiscal Year prior to the commencement of such Fiscal year, or within sixty (60) days after the Manager requests the Administrator to prepare a new budget under Section 4.4(a), the Manager may adopt a new Budget in its sole discretion or modify an existing Budget, and such Budget shall be deemed to control upon written notice to the Administrator.

 

Section 4.5.     Company Expenses The cost of engaging a law firm or law firms to represent Attollo and Pettinelli in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the MIPA shall be borne by the Company to the extent provided in the MIPA, and shall otherwise be borne by Attollo and/or Pettinelli. All other reasonable costs and fees of third party professionals, consultants, advisors and other contractors retained by the Company in accordance with this Agreement shall be an expense of the Company to the extent approved in writing by the Manager in advance. For the avoidance of doubt, any costs incurred by the Majority Member, the Company and/or any Subsidiary in respect of any financing obtained by the Company or any Subsidiary shall be borne by the Company.

 

Section 4.6.     Management of Subsidiaries. All of the provisions of this Agreement regarding the management and governance of the Company shall apply to the management and governance of each Subsidiary, whether any Subsidiary is managed or controlled directly or indirectly by the Company, as member, manager, partner, stockholder or otherwise. Any action to be taken by a Subsidiary shall for all purposes hereof be construed as an action taken by the Company and shall be subject to the same rights and limitations granted and imposed on the Members under this Agreement. Any and all references herein to the Company or any Manager, Administrator or Member causing or directing any action on behalf of a Subsidiary shall be deemed to refer to the Company causing (or such Manager, Administrator or Member causing the Company to cause), in its capacity as a member of such Subsidiary or its capacity to otherwise Control to such Subsidiary, such action to be taken for and on behalf of such Subsidiary. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.6, the Administrator shall perform, with no additional compensation, the same or substantially identical services for each Subsidiary as the Administrator performs for the Company, subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and provided that if and to the extent any one or more of the Administrator’s services are to be performed by a third-party property manager pursuant to a property management agreement, then such property manager shall perform the same. The Administrator agrees to perform such duties, and in such circumstances and with regard to such duties, the Administrator shall be subject to the same standards of conduct and shall have the same duties and obligations in performing such services on behalf of each Subsidiary as are set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary), any action or decision to be taken or made by or on behalf of a Subsidiary that, if taken or made by or on behalf of the Company would constitute (a) a Major Action, will require the approval of the Manager and (b) a Unanimous Action, will require the approval of the Members as set forth in Section 4.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but without limiting, restricting or diminishing in any manner the duties and obligations of the Administrator hereunder, the Administrator shall not be required to perform any services for any Person other than the Company and its Subsidiaries.

 

22

 

Section 4.7.        Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Manager, the Administrator and each Authorized Person of the Company from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and any amounts expended in the settlement of any such claim, demand, liability or expense) to the maximum extent permitted under the LLC Act, except to the extent that any such third-party claims, demands, liabilities or expenses arise as a result of the willful misconduct, gross negligence, intentional breach of the terms of this Agreement or fraud of the Manager, the Administrator or Authorized Person of the Company, as the case may be. The Company shall advance to the indemnified party referred to above the amount of such expenses and fees at the time they become due, unless the Manager makes a good faith reasonable determination that such indemnified party will not be entitled to indemnification according to the standard set forth above. If expenses have been advanced to the indemnified party and it is ultimately determined that such indemnified party did not meet the above standard then the amounts advanced to the indemnified party shall be repaid by such indemnified party.

 

Section 4.8.        REIT Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the prior consent of the Majority Member, the Company shall not:

 

(i)         acquire any stock or securities of another issuer, provided, however, that the Company may acquire assets described in Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code;

 

(ii)        enter into any lease or permit any sublease that provides for rent based upon any Person’s income or profits (as determined for purposes of Section 856(d)(2)(A) of the Code), excluding for this purpose a lease or sublease that provides for rent based in whole or in part on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales of any Person;

 

(iii)       enter into any lease that provides for the rental to others of personal property, except a lease that provides for the rental of both personal property and real property and in which the personal property accounts for less than fifteen percent (15%) of the total rent attributable to the property subject to such lease (as determined pursuant to Section 856(d)(1) of the Code);

 

23

 

(iv)       acquire or hold debt unless (x) the amount of interest income received or accrued by the Company under such loan does not, directly or indirectly, depend in whole or in part on the income or profits of any Person, and (y) the debt is secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property that have a value at least equal to the amount of such debt and any other debt that is senior to or pari passu with the debt acquired or held by the Company;

 

(v)        engage directly or indirectly in any sale or exchange of property that could result in the imposition of a prohibited transactions tax on any Affiliate of the Majority Member pursuant to Section 857 of the Code in the reasonable opinion of the Company’s lawyers;

 

(vi)       make an election or take any action that would cause the Company to be treated as an entity (including a publicly traded partnership as defined in Section 7704 of the Code) that is not classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes;

 

(vii)      enter into any agreement where the Company receives amounts, directly or indirectly, for rendering services to the tenants of any real property held directly or indirectly by the Company other than (x) amounts received for services that are customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real property of a similar class in the geographic areas in which such real property is located where such services are either provided by (A) an Independent Contractor (as defined in Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) who is adequately compensated for such services and from which the Company does not, directly or indirectly, derive revenue or (B) a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (as defined in Section 856(l) of the Code) of an Affiliate of the Majority Member that has elected to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code (a “REIT”) who is adequately compensated for such services or (y) amounts received for services that are customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only (as opposed to being rendered primarily for the convenience of the tenants at the Properties);

 

(viii)     enter into any agreement or other arrangements that, in the aggregate, would result in either (x) more than five percent (5%) of the annual gross income received or accrued by the Company from all sources for each calendar year failing to qualify as under Section 856(c)(2) of the Code, or (y) more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the annual gross income received or accrued by the Company from all sources for each calendar year failing to qualify as under Section 856(c)(3) of the Code; or

 

(ix)        hold cash of the Company available for operations or distribution in any manner other than a traditional bank checking account or money market account.

 

24

 

(b)       While the Administrator shall not be required independently to determine whether any transaction or arrangement not otherwise expressly prohibited under a provision in this Section 4.8 would adversely affect the ability of any Affiliate of the Majority Member to qualify as a REIT or would result in the imposition of any taxes or penalties under Parts II and III of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code, as now enacted or hereafter amended, if the Administrator has actual knowledge, or is otherwise informed by any Affiliate of the Majority Member in the exercise of such Majority Member Affiliate’s reasonable judgment, that a transaction or arrangement reasonably could have an adverse effect on a Majority Member Affiliate’s ability to qualify as a REIT or could result in the imposition of any taxes or penalties under Parts II and III of Subchapter M of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code, as now enacted or hereafter amended, the Administrator shall take such actions (or refrain from taking such actions) as are reasonably required by an Affiliate of the Majority Member to protect such Majority Member Affiliate’s REIT status; provided, however, that the terms of this Section 4.8 are in addition to, and shall not limit or create an exception to, any of the specific restrictions on the authority of the Administrator set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

(c)       So long as the Majority Member holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company, unless written consent to a particular action, or waiver to this provision, in writing, is received from the Majority Member, (i) the Company shall not own or acquire any securities, including debt securities, of any issuer unless the Majority Member, after reasonable diligence, has determined that such ownership or acquisition would not jeopardize any Majority Member Affiliate’s status as a REIT, and (ii) the Administrator shall ensure that any “hedging transaction” within the meaning of Section 1.1221-2(b) of the Regulations shall be properly identified in the Company’s books and records in accordance with Section 1.1221-2(f) of the Regulations.

 

(d)       So long as the Majority Member holds a direct or indirect ownership interest in the Company, upon request of the Majority Member, the Company shall make available to the Majority Member and its counsel such documents and/or other information regarding the Company’s structure, assets, and operations as are reasonably necessary for the Majority Member and its counsel to conduct due diligence with respect to any Majority Member Affiliate’s qualification as a REIT, including without limitation the completion by the Administrator of such reasonable questionnaires as the Majority Member may periodically request.

 

(e)       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to maintain REIT compliance or to avoid the application of any REIT prohibited transaction tax, the Majority Member (as it reasonably deems advisable) may cause the Company to (i) contribute or transfer any asset or service owned directly or indirectly by the Company to a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (as defined in Section 856(l) of the Code) owned directly or indirectly by the Company, which taxable REIT subsidiary shall have an existing (or newly file a) joint taxable REIT subsidiary election with any Affiliate of the Majority Member that is qualified as a REIT, or (ii) engage in other similar transactions.

 

(f)        The Administrator shall follow the instructions provided by the Manager or its representatives with regard to maintaining REIT status pursuant to the terms of this Section 4.8 and shall have no liability if it relies upon the information so provided.

Article V

 

Capital Contributions

 

Section 5.1.     Initial Capital Contributions. After taking into account all amounts contributed to the Company prior to the date hereof and the transactions contemplated by the MIPA, each of the Members is hereby deemed to have made an initial Capital Contribution as of the date hereof in the amount set forth on Schedule 3.1 hereto.

 

Section 5.2.     Subsequent Fundings. (a) In the event it is determined by the Manager that funds are required (i) in connection with any of the purposes set forth in Section 2.4, (ii) to pay for fees, costs or expenses payable by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) otherwise to meet the Company’s then existing obligations, then the Manager shall give written notice (a “Call Notice”) to each of the Members specifying the aggregate amount of the funds required (the “Call Amount”) and each Member’s Percentage Interest at such time. Each of the Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, within ten (10) days after delivery of the Call Notice, to fund any such further Capital Contributions in an amount equal to its respective Percentage Interest (at such time) of such Call Amount. Promptly thereafter, the Majority Member shall make an additional Capital Contribution equal to the positive difference of such Call Amount minus the portion thereof that was actually funded by Attollo, and the Members’ Percentage Interests shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

(b)       In the event it is determined by the Manager that funds are required to pay for Necessary Expenses, then in lieu of issuing a Call Notice pursuant to Section 5.2(a), the Manager may elect (in its sole discretion) to give written notice (a “Special Call Notice”) to each of the Members specifying the aggregate amount of the funds required (the “Special Call Amount”) and each Member’s Percentage Interest at such time. Each of the Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, within ten (10) days after delivery of the Special Call Notice, to fund any such further Capital Contributions in an amount equal to its respective Percentage Interest (at such time) of such Special Call Amount. Promptly thereafter, the Majority Member shall make an additional Capital Contribution equal to the positive difference of such Special Call Amount minus the portion thereof that was actually funded by Attollo. Capital Contributions funded pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) shall be known as “Special Contributions” and shall not affect a Member’s Percentage Interest.

 

(c)       No Member shall be required to make a Capital Contribution except as provided in this Agreement.

 

Section 5.3.     Priority and Return of Capital. No Member shall have priority over any other Member, whether for the return of a Capital Contribution or for Net Profits, Net Losses or a Distribution except as provided herein; provided, however, that this Section 5.3 shall not apply to any loan, guaranty, endorsement, collateral or other indebtedness (as distinguished from a Capital Contribution) given, made or incurred by a Member to the Company or any creditor of the Company or to any indebtedness of the Company to a Member in connection with any business transaction.

 

26

 

Section 5.4.      Withdrawal or Reduction of Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution.

 

Section 5.5.      Capital Accounts. A Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member. Said Capital Account shall be kept in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, each Member’s Capital Account shall be (a) increased by the net agreed value of each Capital Contribution made by such Member, allocations to such Member of the Net Profits and any other allocations to such Member of income pursuant to Section 6.2, and (b) decreased by the net agreed value of each Distribution made to such Member by the Company, allocations to such Member of Net Losses and other allocations to such Member pursuant to Section 6.2. The Manager shall restate the Capital Account of each Member on the date hereof and as of each Quinquennial Date for which a Crystallization Election is made in accordance with Section 9.6 to be equal to the deemed initial Capital Contribution of such Member as of such date. The Member may also restate the Capital Accounts upon any other event for which such restatement is permitted pursuant to the Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(b).

 

Section 5.6.      Transfers. Upon a permitted sale or other Transfer of an Interest, the Capital Account of the Member transferring its Interest shall become the Capital Account of the Person to whom such Interest is sold or transferred in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations.

 

Section 5.7.      Deficit Capital Account. No Member shall have any liability to restore all or any portion of a deficit balance in a Capital Account, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

 

Section 5.8.     Modifications. The manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code. If the Manager determines in writing that the manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement should be modified to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code, then the method in which Capital Accounts are maintained shall be so modified; provided, however, that any change in the manner of maintaining Capital Accounts shall not materially alter the economic agreement between or among the Members.

 

Article VI

 

Allocations; Distributions

 

Section 6.1.     Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses. For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts of the Company, Net Profits or Net Losses for any tax year (or portion thereof) shall be allocated among the Members, to the extent possible, in such a manner as to cause the balance in the Capital Account of each Member, as adjusted to reflect the allocations provided hereunder and the allocations under Section 6.2, to be equal to the aggregate amount of cash such Member would receive if the Company were liquidated and each of the Company Assets were sold for an amount of cash equal to its respective Book Basis, all debt obligations were satisfied in accordance with their respective terms (limited with respect to each Company Nonrecourse Debt or Member Nonrecourse Debt to the Book Basis of the asset(s) securing such debt) and the remaining cash were distributed as provided in Section 6.4. For purposes of applying this Section 6.1, a Member’s Capital Account balance shall be deemed to be increased by such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined as of the end of such Fiscal Year (or other taxable period).

 

27

 

Section 6.2.      Required Special Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 6.1 hereof:

 

(a)        Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated to the Member(s) that bear(s) the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which the Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations.

 

(b)        Appropriate allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be made to the extent required to comply with the “qualified income offset” provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations, the Company “minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, and the Member “minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, all issued pursuant to Section 704(b) of the Code. To the extent permitted by such Regulations, the allocations in such year and subsequent years shall be further adjusted so that the cumulative effect of all the allocations shall be the same as if all such allocations were made pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof without regard to Section 6.2(a) and this Section 6.2(b).

 

(c)        In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account balance at the end of a Fiscal Year that is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount (if any) such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to the Agreement, and (ii) the amount (if any) such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the Regulations, taking into account all other allocations and adjustments under this Agreement (made as if this Section 6.2(c) were not in this Agreement), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible.

 

(d)        Any Company Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. The Manager shall allocate to each Member a share of excess nonrecourse liability of the Company in such manner as it shall reasonably determine, taking account of the tax effect of such allocation to each Member.

 

(e)        In accordance with Code § 704(c) (and the principles thereof) and the Regulations issued with respect thereto, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, or after Company Assets has been revalued under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations, shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members 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 Book Basis using any reasonable method permitted under the Regulations that is selected by the Manager. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2(e) 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 Capital Account or share of Net Profit, Net Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

 

28

 

(f)         Net Profits, Net Losses, income, gain, deductions and credits allocated to a Company interest transferred, issued, or reissued during a Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Persons who were the holders of such Company interest during such Fiscal Year, using any method selected by the Manager to the extent permitted by the Code.

 

Section 6.3.        Distributions. The Manager may from time to time make Distributions at such times and in such amounts as it shall reasonably determine (but no less than quarterly). At such times as the Manager makes Distributions, it shall provide the Members with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which the Distributions were calculated and determined. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a Distribution if such Distribution would violate the LLC Act or any provision of Applicable Laws.

 

Section 6.4.        Priority of Distributions. (a) Subject to Sections 6.4(d), 6.4(e), 6.5 and 8.3, any Distributions of Available Cash shall be applied and Distributed to each of the Members as follows:

 

(i)         First, such Available Cash shall be distributed one hundred percent (100%) to the Members in the ratio of their respective Special Return Balances (if any) until each Member’s Special Return Balance has been reduced to zero;

 

(ii)        Second, any remainder of such Available Cash (after the distribution of such Available Cash in the manner described in clause (i) above) shall be distributed one hundred percent (100%) to the Members in the ratio of their respective Special Investment Balances (if any) until each Member’s Special Investment Balance has been reduced to zero;

 

(iii)       Third, any remainder of such Available Cash (after the distribution of such Available Cash in the manner described in clauses (i) and (ii) above) shall be distributed one hundred percent (100%) to the Members in the ratio of their respective Percentage Interests until the Majority Member has received an IRR of ten percent (10%);

 

(iv)      Fourth, any remainder of such Available Cash (after the distribution of such Available Cash in the manner described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above) shall be distributed on a pari passu basis, (x) twelve percent (12%) to Attollo and (y) the remainder to the Members in the ratio of their respective Percentage Interests until the Majority Member has received an IRR of fifteen percent (15%);

 

(v)        Thereafter, any remainder of such Available Cash (after the distribution of such Available Cash in the manner described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above) shall be distributed on a pari passu basis, (x) twenty percent (20%) to Attollo and (y) the remainder to the Members in the ratio of their respective Percentage Interests.

 

(b)        [intentionally omitted]

 

29

 

(c)       [intentionally omitted]

 

(d)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after a Promote Cessation Event, all Available Cash shall be distributed to the Members in the ratio of their respective Percentage Interests. Subject to Section 6.4(e) below, the occurrence of a Promote Cessation Event shall not have any effect on Distributions previously made to a Member hereunder.

 

(e)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if, at any point in time, the total of all Distributions since the formation of the Company have inadvertently not, on an aggregate basis, been made in the order of the priorities set forth in this Section 6.4 (after taking into account Section 6.4(d), if applicable, solely with respect to Distributions made after the applicable event(s) and not retroactively), then (i) each of the Members, as applicable, shall, on demand, return to the Company prior Distributions made to such Member that are in excess of the Distributions that such Member would have received (as of such point in time) if the total of all Distributions since the formation of the Company were, on an aggregate basis, made in the order of the priorities set forth in this Section 6.4 (after taking into account Section 6.4(d), if applicable, solely with respect to Distributions made after the applicable event(s) and not retroactively), and (ii) the amount so returned shall be Distributed to the other Member.

 

Section 6.5.     Offset. Each Member may cause the Company to offset against any Distribution to be made to a Member (the “Offset Member”) all amounts owing to the Company or another Member by such Offset Member or its Affiliate.

 

Section 6.6.      Interest on and Return of Capital Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or to a return of its Capital Contribution, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

 

Section 6.7.     Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, in the event that the Company is required to withhold and remit any taxes to the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority with respect to any Member (the “Withheld Member”), then each such Withheld Member shall be required to make additional capital contributions at such times and in such amounts as determined by the Manager sufficient to fund, or reimburse the Company for, such obligations of the Company. Such capital contributions shall increase the Capital Account balance of such Member but shall not be deemed Capital Contributions for any other purposes of this Agreement, and shall not be used to calculate a Member’s Percentage Interest, IRR, or Minimum Equity Requirement, and therefore shall not change the Distributions that would otherwise be made to such Withheld Member. The amount of any such taxes remitted by the Company with respect to a Withheld Member for any year shall be a reduction of such Member’s Capital Account balance as if such amount were distributed to such Member but, provided that such Member has made the contribution required by the previous sentence, shall not reduce the actual cash Distribution to be made to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the Manager may offset any Distribution to be made to a Member against any contribution required to be made by such Member and thereby reduce the contribution required to be made by such Member. To the extent that the Company pays any tax, interest or penalty, with respect to any audit adjustment relating to income taxes, such payment shall be treated in the same manner as a withholding of tax pursuant to this Section 6.7 with respect to the Member which would otherwise have had to make such payment if the Code had not been amended to provide for such payment by the Company (ignoring any tax status of such Member that would have reduced or eliminated all or part of such payment unless the Company succeeded in reducing or eliminating such portion of such payment by reason thereof). Each Member shall cooperate with the Company to provide such documentation as may be necessary or advisable to reduce the amount of tax, interest or penalty payable by the Company. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Member from and against any and all liability with respect to any withholding (or audit adjustment payment treated as withholding pursuant to this Section 6.7) with respect to such Member. A Member’s obligation to so indemnify shall survive the liquidation and dissolution of the Company and/or the Member’s withdrawal from the Company or assignment of its Interest, and the Company and each other Member may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies they may have against each such Member under this Section 6.7.

The Majority Member is hereby designated as the initial “tax matters partner” and “partnership representative,” and such partnership representative shall designate a “designated individual” of the partnership representative from time to time. Each Member hereby approves of such designation and agrees to execute, certify, acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file, and record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate to evidence such approval, including statements required to be filed with the tax returns of the Company in order to effect the election and designation of the foregoing representative.

On behalf of the Company, the Administrator shall keep or cause to be kept books and records pertaining to the Company’s business showing all of its assets and liabilities, receipts and disbursements and all transactions entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary. The Company shall use its own accounting software as determined by the Manager, in consultation with the Administrator. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s use of the accounting software known as Rent Manager is approved by the Manager. The Administrator shall provide a copy of the downloaded accounting books and records to the Manager in a useable format which can be easily uploaded to the accounting software maintained by the Manager. Such books and records, and all supporting data, of the Company shall be kept at the office of the Company and the Members and their representatives shall at all reasonable times have free access thereto for the purpose of inspecting or copying the same. The Company’s books of account shall be kept on an accrual basis or as otherwise determined by the Manager and otherwise in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, except that for income tax purposes such books shall be kept in accordance with applicable tax accounting principles. The Manager shall designate a national accounting firm of independent certified public accountants to serve as the Company’s external auditor (the “Auditor”), and may replace the Auditor in the Manager’s discretion.

 

Section 7.5.     Information. (a) A Member may inspect during ordinary business hours and at the principal place of business of the Company the Certificate, this Agreement, any tax returns of the Company for the immediately preceding three Fiscal Years, and all other business records in the possession of the Company; provided that such inspection does not unreasonably interfere with the day-to-day operations of the Company and is for a purpose reasonably related to the Member’s Interest.

(a)        unanimous written agreement of the Members to dissolve and subsequently terminate the Company;

Section 8.2.     Winding-up. When the Company is dissolved, the Company shall continue solely for the purpose of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors. The Liquidator shall wind up and liquidate the business and property of the Company.

Section 8.6.      Distribution in Kind. (a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VIII which require the liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities provided thereunder, if on dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the assets of the Company would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may, with the prior written consent of the Manager, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (other than those to Members) and may, with the prior written consent of the Manager, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common, undivided interests in such Company Assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation.

Article IX

 

Transfer of Members’ Interests

 

Section 9.1.     Restrictions on Transfer of Company Interests. (a) No Member may, directly or indirectly, assign, sell, exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part of its Interest to any Person, including any non-economic right provided to a Member, or permit any change in the ultimate legal or beneficial ownership of such Member (any direct or indirect assignment, sale, exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of an Interest, or change in the ultimate legal or beneficial ownership of a Member, being herein collectively called a “Transfer”), nor may the Company admit any Person as an additional member of the Company, except as provided herein or with the consent of (x) the Majority Member if the Transfer involves Attollo’s Interest, or (y) Attollo if the Transfer involves the Majority Member’s Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Member’s consent shall be required with respect to (i) any Permitted Transfer or (ii) Transfers made in accordance with the terms of Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.6 or 9.7, subject to Sections 9.1(b)-(c) and 9.5. In the event of a partial direct Transfer of an Interest, such Transferee (as defined below) shall, for the purposes of this Article IX, be treated, together with the Member who transferred such Interest to the Transferee, as a single entity, with such transferor Member having the authority to make elections and give notices hereunder on behalf of such transferor Member and Transferee. Any such partial Transferee will be bound by the elections made by such transferor Member.

 

35

 

(b)       Upon any direct Transfer of a Member’s Interest in compliance with this Article IX, the Person (the “Transferee”) to whom the Member’s Interest was Transferred shall be admitted as a Member upon the Transferee’s written acceptance and adoption of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and delivery to the Manager by the transferring Member and its Transferee of any other documents and instruments, including any legal opinions, reasonably requested by the Manager. For purposes hereof, the term “Majority Member” shall be deemed to include any Transferee of the Majority Member and the term “Attollo” shall be deemed to include any Transferee of Attollo, except that following any Transfer of Attollo’s Interest, references to “Attollo” in Article X shall apply both to Attollo and to any Transferee of its Interest.

 

(c)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer or substitution shall be recognized if (i) the Manager reasonably believes that such Transfer or substitution would pose a material risk that the Company will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, or (ii) such Transfer would result in a breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11.2 by the Transferee.

 

Section 9.2.    Tag-Along Rights. (a) If at any time the Majority Member proposes to Transfer seventy-five percent (75%) or more of its Interest (other than pursuant to Section 9.3) to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Majority Member (a “Tag-Along Buyer”), then at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the consummation of any such Transfer, the Majority Member shall offer in writing (the “Tag-Along Offer”) to Attollo to sell Attollo’s Interest on the same terms and conditions as such Tag-Along Buyer shall purchase the Majority Member’s Interest. The Tag-Along Offer shall set forth the price and other terms and conditions of the proposed purchase, and shall also include a statement reflecting the amount each Member would be entitled to receive if the Company had sold all the Company Assets for the gross valuation implied by the purchase price, paid all the Company’s liabilities (and liabilities secured by the Company Assets) and distributed the resulting net proceeds received in accordance with this Agreement. Attollo shall have five (5) Business Days from the receipt of the Tag-Along Offer in which to accept such Tag-Along Offer by irrevocably notifying the Majority Member in writing. If Attollo, within such five (5) Business Day period, fails to advise the Majority Member in writing that Attollo accepts such Tag-Along Offer, then Attollo shall be deemed to have rejected such Tag-Along Offer (in which case the Majority Member may proceed with the Transfer of its Interest to the Tag-Along Buyer without the participation of Attollo).

 

(b)        If Attollo timely accepts the Tag-Along Offer, (i) the Majority Member may not Transfer its Interest to the Tag-Along Buyer unless the Tag-Along Buyer agrees to purchase all of the Majority Member’s Interest and the Interest of Attollo, all on terms and conditions consistent with the Tag-Along Offer; (ii) Attollo shall execute such documents and instruments, and take such other actions, as are reasonably required to consummate any sale of its Interest to the Tag-Along Buyer (failing which the Majority Member may proceed with the Transfer of its Interest to the Tag-Along Buyer without the participation of Attollo); (iii) each of the Majority Member and Attollo shall bear its respective Percentage Interest of all transactions costs (including any and all brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, transfer taxes and loan assumption fees) associated with such Transfer, whether or not such Transfer is actually consummated; and (iv) upon the consummation of such Transfer, the Members will be entitled to receive all the amounts they would have received if the Company had sold all the Company Assets for the gross valuation implied by the purchase price, paid all the Company’s liabilities (and liabilities secured by the Company Assets) and distributed the resulting net proceeds received in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Members agrees that (x) if Attollo (or any of its Affiliates) will, directly or indirectly, acquire any Interests Transferred pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), then the Majority Member shall make representations and warranties relating to such Transfer solely as to its authority to enter into such transaction and its ownership of its Interest to be Transferred, or (y) if Attollo (or any of its Affiliates) will not, directly or indirectly, acquire any Interest Transferred pursuant to this Section 9.2(b), then the Members shall make representations and warranties relating to such Transfer on a pro-rata basis.

 

36

 

Section 9.3.     Drag-Along Rights. (a) The Majority Member shall have the right to cause a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 9.3 at any time. In the event of a Drag-Along Sale, each other Member (i) will consent to and raise no objections against a Drag-Along Sale or the process pursuant to which the Drag-Along Sale was arranged and (ii) agrees to sell its Interest on the terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Sale; provided that the terms of the Drag-Along Sale provide that the purchase of the Interest of any other Member shall be upon the same terms and conditions as the purchase of the Interest of the Majority Member.

 

(b)         Upon the completion of a Drag-Along Sale, the Members will be entitled to receive all the amounts they would have received if the Company had sold all the Company Assets for the gross valuation implied by the purchase price, paid all the Company’s liabilities (and liabilities secured by the Company Assets) and distributed the resulting net proceeds received in accordance with this Agreement. Each Member will take all necessary and desirable actions as directed by the Majority Member in connection with the consummation of any Drag-Along Sale, including without limitation, executing the applicable agreements. Each Member shall bear its respective Percentage Interest of all transactions costs (including any and all brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees, transfer taxes and loan assumption fees) associated with such Drag-Along Sale, whether or not such Drag-Along Sale is actually consummated.

 

Section 9.4.     Notice of Election to Purchase. (a) At any time from and after a Promote Cessation Event, the Majority Member may deliver to Attollo a written notice (in accordance with Section 11.7) stating that it will exercise its right to purchase the Interest of Attollo (such notice, a “Default Purchase Notice”), in which case the provisions of this Section 9.4 will apply.

 

(b)         If a Default Purchase Notice is delivered, the Majority Member (or its designee) will have the right to purchase, and Attollo shall be required to sell, the Interest of Attollo (the “Specified Interest”) on the following terms.

 

(i)      The purchase price for the Specified Interest shall be equal to Attollo’s Hypothetical Distributions as of the date of the Default Purchase Notice, less any amounts then owed by Attollo or its Affiliates to the Company, any Subsidiary or any other Member.

 

(ii)     If the Majority Member elects to consummate the purchase, the purchase price for the Specified Interest will be paid to Attollo on the closing of the purchase. Simultaneously with the receipt of the purchase price, Attollo shall execute and deliver, and Attollo hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Majority Member as Attollo’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and to deliver for and on Attollo’s behalf all documents that may be necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Manager, to Transfer Attollo’s entire Interest to the Majority Member or any Person or Persons the Majority Member designates; provided, however, that the Majority Member shall provide Attollo with ten (10) days written notice (which notice shall include such documents proposed to be executed) prior to the execution or delivery of any such documents on Attollo’s behalf. Closing costs and all other charges (except for payment of transfer and gains taxes, which shall be payable by Attollo) involved in closing the sale will be divided pro rata (in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests) between Attollo on the one hand, and the purchaser(s) on the other hand.

 

37

 

(c)         In any sale of the Specified Interest pursuant to this Section 9.4:

 

(i)        Attollo shall convey the Specified Interest free and clear of all liens upon payment of the purchase price. If Attollo has created or suffered any liens, encumbrances or other adverse interest upon the Specified Interest, the Majority Member may either (A) bring an action for specific performance to compel Attollo to have the liens removed, in which case the closing will be adjourned for that purpose, or (B) deduct an appropriate offset against the purchase price.

 

(ii)       Each Person will bear its own legal fees and expenses for the purchase, except that Attollo shall pay for reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Majority Member in removing liens on the Specified Interest.

 

(iii)      The transfer of the Specified Interest will be evidenced by written instruments and documents in a form reasonably requested by the purchaser of that Specified Interest.

 

Section 9.5.       Other Transfer Provisions. (a) Any purported Transfer by a Member of all or any part of its Interest in violation of this Article IX shall be null and void and of no force or effect.

 

(b)        Except as provided in this Article IX, no Member shall have the right to withdraw from the Company prior to the Company’s termination and no additional Member may be admitted to the Company unless approved by all of the Members. In the event that a Member purports to resign as a Member, such Member shall not be entitled to receive any Distributions or fees and shall not otherwise be entitled to receive value for or in respect of its Interest except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Member may not Transfer all or any part of its Interest if such Transfer would jeopardize the status of the Company as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or would violate, or would cause the Company to violate, any Applicable Laws, including any applicable federal or state securities laws or any document or instrument evidencing indebtedness of the Company secured by the Company Assets.

 

(c)         Concurrently with the admission of any substitute or additional Member, the Members shall forthwith cause any necessary papers to be filed and recorded and notice to be given wherever and to the extent required showing the substitution of a Transferee as a substitute Member in place of the Member Transferring its Interest, or the admission of an additional Member, all at the expense, including payment of any professional and filing fees incurred, of such substituted or additional Member. The admission of any Person as a substitute or additional Member shall be conditioned upon such Person’s written acceptance and adoption of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

38

 

(d)        If any Interest of a Member is Transferred during any accounting period in compliance with the provisions of this Article IX, each item of income, gain, loss, expense, deduction and credit and all other items attributable to such Interest for such period shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying Interests during such period in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Manager. All Distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the transferor, and all Distributions thereafter shall be made to the Transferee. Solely for purposes of making such allocations and Distributions, the Company shall recognize a Transfer on the date that the Manager receives notice of the Transfer which complies with this Article IX from the Member Transferring its Interest.

 

Section 9.6.      Quinquennial Crystallization. (a) So long as (i) no Promote Cessation Event has occurred, (ii) Pettinelli continues to serve as a full-time employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, except if there has been a Permissible Termination, and (iii) the Minimum Equity Requirement is satisfied, as soon as practical after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof and every fifth anniversary thereafter (each such anniversary, a “Quinquennial Date”), the Manager shall calculate the Hypothetical Distributions as of such date, and shall (A) notify Attollo in writing pursuant to Section 11.7 of the amount of such Hypothetical Distributions (such notice, a “Quinquennial Notice”) and (B) if Attollo has not acknowledged receipt of the Quinquennial Notice within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of such notice, provide a second notice to Attollo in substantially the same form as the Quinquennial Notice (such notice, a “Second Quinquennial Notice”); provided, however, that in the event of a Permissible Termination, the Manager’s obligations set forth in this Section 9.6 (and Attollo’s rights under Section 9.6(b)) shall apply only with respect to the period ending on the first Quinquennial Date following (or concurrent with) the date of such Permissible Termination.

 

(b)        Attollo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to have the Members’ Percentage Interests reset in proportion to the Hypothetical Distributions that each Member would have received as of the applicable Quinquennial Date, by delivering written notice of such election (a “Crystallization Election”) to the Manager within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Quinquennial Notice (or the Second Quinquennial Notice, if receipt of the Quinquennial Notice was not acknowledged). If Attollo does not timely make a Crystallization Election, it will be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 9.6 with respect to the applicable Quinquennial Date, but (subject to the terms of this Section 9.6) will retain the right to make a Crystallization Election with respect to the next Quinquennial Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Attollo will have no right to make a Crystallization Election (i) after the occurrence of a Promote Cessation Event, (ii) if Pettinelli is no longer serving as a full-time employee of the Company or a Subsidiary, (iii) if the Minimum Equity Requirement is not satisfied at the time of the applicable Quinquennial Date and the time of the purported Crystallization Election, or (iv) if Attollo’s Hypothetical Distributions would not include any Promote Distributions; provided, however, that in the event of a Permissible Termination, Attollo shall retain the right to make a Crystallization Election with respect to the period ending on the first Quinquennial Date following (or concurrent with) the date of such Permissible Termination.

 

39

 

(c)        If Attollo timely makes a Crystallization Election, (i) the Members’ Percentage Interests shall be reset retroactive to the applicable Quinquennial Date to be in proportion to the Hypothetical Distributions each would have received, (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Member will be deemed to have made an initial Capital Contribution as of the applicable Quinquennial Date in the amount of its respective Hypothetical Distribution (which Capital Contribution will be deemed to be in lieu of, and not in addition to, Capital Contributions made prior to the applicable Quinquennial Date, excluding Special Contributions), and (iii) the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be restated in the nature of a “book-up” so that each Member’s Capital Account balance as of the applicable Quinquennial Date is equal to its deemed initial Capital Contribution as of such Quinquennial Date. The Members intend that each Crystallization Election shall not be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as an event that would cause the recognition of taxable gain, and subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the Company Assets shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company Assets for federal income tax purposes and their Book Basis using any reasonable method permitted under the Regulations that is selected by the Manager. To the extent any Capital Contributions or Distributions were made between a Quinquennial Date and a Crystallization Election with respect thereto, the Members will reimburse each other so that the Capital Contributions and Distributions made and received during such period were in proportion to the new Percentage Interests.

 

Section 9.7.     Liquidity Right. (a) From and after the thirty-sixth (36th) month anniversary of the date hereof, so long as no Liquidity Right Cessation Event has occurred, Attollo shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exchange a portion of its Interest for OP Units in accordance with this Section 9.7 (the “Liquidity Right”). Within thirty (30) days after each of (I) the thirty-sixth (36th) month anniversary of the date hereof and (II) each anniversary thereafter, Attollo may request, by written notice to the Manager (a “Liquidity Information Request”), valuation information relating to such liquidity right. Upon receipt of a Liquidity Information Request, the Manager will deliver to Attollo (A) the most recent Net Asset Value (and, if a Special Termination For Cause has occurred, the Net Asset Value as of the date of such Special Termination For Cause), (B) Attollo’s estimated Hypothetical Distributions based on such Net Asset Value(s) (excluding Promote Distributions and/or any Distributions that would be made pursuant to Sections 6.4(a)(i) or 6.4(a)(ii)), (C) the most recent publicly reported net asset value of SDREIT Parent, and (D) the estimated price per OP Unit at which OP Units would be issued pursuant to this Section 9.7 (based on the net asset value of SDREIT Parent) if Attollo delivers a Liquidity Notice. If Attollo does not deliver a Liquidity Information Request within such thirty (30) day period, it will be deemed to waive its Liquidity Right until the next anniversary of the date hereof, except that Attollo shall not be required to send a Liquidity Information Request if the most recent anniversary is a Quinquennial Date.

 

(b)       Attollo shall have the right to exercise the Liquidity Right by written notice to the Manager (a “Liquidity Notice”) delivered at any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date the Manager delivers the valuation information described in Section 9.7(a) (the “Exercise Period”); provided that the Exercise Period following a Quinquennial Date shall commence upon Attollo’s waiver (or deemed waiver) of its right to make a Crystallization Election or the finalization of the Members’ new Percentage Interests following a Crystallization Election. If Attollo does not deliver a Liquidity Notice by the expiration of the Exercise Period, it will be deemed to waive its Liquidity Right until the next anniversary of the date hereof. Any Liquidity Notice must include the dollar value of the partial Interest that Attollo desires to exchange for such year (the “Liquidity Amount”), which Liquidity Amount with respect to such individual year shall be subject to the following conditions:

 

40

 

(i)        For purposes hereof:

 

(A)       Disqualifying EA Non-Renewal” means the Company delivered a Qualifying Company EA Renewal Notice to Pettinelli by the applicable deadline (as extended in accordance therewith) under Section 1(c) of the Employment Agreement and Pettinelli rejected such offer.

 

(B)        Liquidity Right Cessation Event” means a Promote Cessation Event; provided, however, that (x) a Special Termination for Cause shall not constitute a Liquidity Right Cessation Event, and (y) a Promote Cessation Event described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof shall not constitute a Liquidity Right Cessation Event unless the Company notifies Attollo of such event in writing within twelve (12) months after Pettinelli’s Termination Without Cause or Death/Disability.

 

(C)        Qualifying Company EA Renewal Notice” means a notice delivered by the Company pursuant to Section 1(c) of the Employment Agreement offering to extend Pettinelli’s employment for an additional five (5) years beyond the fifth (5th) anniversary of the date hereof on Equivalent Terms.

 

(D)        Special Termination For Cause” means if Pettinelli’s employment is terminated by the Company solely as a result of a Termination For Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) specified in clause (iii), clause (vi), clause (vii) or clause (viii) of such definition.

 

(E)         Total Attollo Contribution” means the sum of (x) the initial Capital Contribution deemed made by Attollo on the date hereof plus (y) all additional Capital Contributions (but not Special Contributions) actually made in cash by Attollo after the date hereof, without taking into account Section 9.6.

 

(ii)       The Liquidity Amount with respect to each individual year shall not exceed the limits set forth on Schedule 9.7(b)(ii) (the “Liquidity Cap”).

 

(iii)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liquidity Right shall no longer be available from and after a Liquidity Right Cessation Event.

 

41

 

(c)          Upon timely delivery of a Liquidity Notice:

 

(i)        Attollo will be deemed to have contributed a portion of its Interest to SDREIT OP, and SDREIT OP will be deemed to have contributed such Interest to the Majority Member. Attollo’s Percentage Interest will be decreased by a number of percentage points equal to the product of (A) a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Liquidity Amount and the denominator of which is equal to Attollo’s Hypothetical Distributions as of the date of such Liquidity Notice (excluding Promote Distributions and/or any Distributions that would be made pursuant to Sections 6.4(a)(i) or 6.4(a)(ii)) (the “Liquidity Percentage”), multiplied by (B) Attollo’s full Percentage Interest immediately prior to the date of the Liquidity Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to determine the Liquidity Percentage Attollo’s Hypothetical Distributions will be calculated using the lesser of the Net Asset Value as of the date of the Liquidity Notice or the Net Asset Value as of the date of an applicable Special Termination For Cause (but the Hypothetical Distributions will nonetheless be calculated as of the date of the Liquidity Notice). For all purposes of this Agreement (including calculating IRR and further adjusting Percentage Interests after the exercise of the Liquidity Right, and determining the Members’ Capital Account balances), the Liquidity Percentage of each Capital Contribution that Attollo actually made (or was deemed to make) during the period commencing on the most recent IRR Start Date and ending immediately prior to delivery of the Liquidity Notice, will be deemed transferred from Attollo to the Majority Member (and deemed contributed by the Majority Member as of the date Attollo originally contributed—or was deemed to contribute—such amount), and the Capital Account balances of the Members will be adjusted accordingly. For clarity, changes made to the Members’ Percentage Interests and deemed Capital Contributions as a result of the exercise of the Liquidity Right will be taken into account in calculating Distributions made after the exercise of the Liquidity Right, but will not result in any retroactive recalculation of Distributions that were made prior to such exercise. For illustration purposes only, an example calculation is set forth on Schedule 9.7(c)(i).

 

(ii)       Subject to Section 9.7(d), the Majority Member will cause SDREIT OP to issue OP Units to Attollo with a value equal to the Liquidity Amount, based on the most recent publicly reported net asset value of SDREIT Parent.

 

(d)          In connection with any Liquidity Notice, Attollo shall also deliver to SDREIT OP (i) a completed and executed investor questionnaire in the form then provided by the Majority Member and (ii) a certification in the form attached hereto as Schedule 9.7(d). If the SDREIT OP reasonably determines that Attollo is not an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), then SDREIT OP may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver cash to Attollo in lieu of OP Units.

Article X

 

Restrictive Covenants

 

As partial consideration for the transactions effected pursuant to the MIPA and the granting of additional rights in favor of Attollo in this Agreement, and the benefit to be derived by Pettinelli in his capacity as the owner of Attollo, together with Attollo’s and Pettinelli’s continuing access to trade secrets, confidential information and goodwill of the Company and its Subsidiaries, each of Attollo and Pettinelli hereby agrees as follows:

 

Section 10.1.    Non-Competition. Subject to Sections 10.6 and 10.7, for a period of five (5) years commencing on the date hereof (the “Restricted Period”), they shall not, either on their own behalf, or in conjunction with or on behalf of any Person other than the Company or its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, (a) engage in the Business (as defined below) in the Territory (as defined below), or (b) operate, become employed by, render any services to or on behalf of, loan money to, control, or become a partner, shareholder, member, investor in, or otherwise hold an equity interest in any business that engages in the Business in the Territory. For purposes of this Agreement: “Business” means the business of acquiring and owning of residential property that is held for lease or sale to qualified providers (including government agencies, private agencies, or other persons) that provide services to adults with a developmental disability (including without limitation intellectual development disabilities or disabilities caused by traumatic brain injury), and/or financing and/or disposing of such property; and “Territory” means any state in the United States in which the Company or any Subsidiary owned residential property that is used in the Business as of the date hereof, or acquires residential property for purposes of the Business at any time that Pettinelli is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary. It will not be a violation of the restrictive covenant set forth in this Section 10.1 for Pettinelli (a) to be a solely passive investor in publicly-traded equity securities of a Person engaged in the Business if such investment constitutes less than two percent (2%) of the outstanding securities of such class of equity securities, or (b) to be a solely passive owner of shares of stock or other equity securities in any mutual fund.

 

Section 10.2.    Non-Solicitation/Non-Servicing of Customers. During the Restricted Period, they shall not, either on their own behalf, or in conjunction with or on behalf of any Person other than the Company or its Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, solicit or assist in soliciting any Protected Customer for the purpose of leasing residential property for use as disability housing. A “Protected Customer” means any customer or lessee of the Company or its Subsidiaries (a) as of the date hereof, or (b) with whom Pettinelli has dealings or client relationship responsibilities on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries at any time during the Restricted Period.

 

Section 10.3.    Non-Interference with Business Relationships. During the Restricted Period, they shall not interfere with, or attempt to interfere with, business relationships between the Company or the Subsidiaries and any of their Protected Customers, referral sources, real estate brokers or lenders.

 

43

 

Section 10.4.    Non-Solicitation of Employees and Consultants. During the Restricted Period, they shall not, whether on their own behalf or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, directly or indirectly:

 

(a)        solicit or encourage any employee of the Company or a Subsidiary to leave the employment of the Company or Subsidiary; or

 

(b)        solicit or encourage any consultant to cease providing services to the Company or a Subsidiary.

 

Section 10.5.   Remedies for Breach. In the event of any breach of Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 or 10.5 of this Agreement, the harm to the Company will likely be irreparable and without adequate remedy at law and, therefore, that injunctive relief with respect thereto will be appropriate. In the event of such breach or threatened breach, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have in connection therewith (including any right to damages that it may suffer), to seek a temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief restraining such breach or threatened breach, without the obligation to post bond.

 

Section 10.6.    Equitable Modification. If any part of the covenants contained in this Article X or the duration thereof is deemed too restrictive by a court of competent jurisdiction, the court may alter the covenants and/or duration to make the same reasonable under the circumstances, and each of Attollo and Pettinelli acknowledges and agrees that they shall be bound thereby.

 

Section 10.7.    Modifications to Restricted Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article X, if Pettinelli’s employment ends prior to the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, then:

 

(a)        For purposes of Sections 10.1 and 10.2, (i) in the event of a Termination Without Cause (other than a Resignation For Good Reason), the Restricted Period shall expire as of the end of the payroll period in which Pettinelli ceases receiving Severance Payments (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or, if Pettinelli entirely waives Severance Payments, the Restricted Period shall expire on the last day of his employment with the Company; (ii) in the event of a Resignation For Good Reason, the Restricted Period shall expire on the last day of his employment with the Company; or (iii) in the event of a Termination For Cause, the Restricted Period shall expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months immediately after the last day of employment as a result of such Termination For Cause; and

 

(b)        For purposes of Sections 10.3 and 10.4, the Restricted Period shall expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months immediately after Pettinelli’s cessation of employment with the Company.

Article XI

 

Miscellaneous

 

Section 11.1.   Equitable Relief. The Members hereby confirm that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, the respective rights and obligations hereunder shall be enforceable by specific performance, injunction or other equitable remedy, but, nothing herein contained is intended to, nor shall it, limit or affect any right or rights at law or by statute or otherwise of a Member aggrieved as against the other for a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof, it being the intention by this Section 11.1 to make clear the agreement of the Members that the respective rights and obligations of the Members hereunder shall be enforceable in equity as well as at law or otherwise and that the mention herein of any particular remedy shall not preclude a Member from any other remedy it might have, either in law or in equity.

 

Section 11.2.    Representations and Covenants by the Members. Each Member represents, warrants, covenants, acknowledges and agrees that:

 

(a)        It is an individual or a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, as applicable, duly organized or formed and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization or formation; it has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to acquire and hold its Interest and to perform its obligations hereunder; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized.

 

(b)        This Agreement and all agreements, instruments and documents herein provided to be executed or caused to be executed by it are duly authorized, executed and delivered by and are and will be binding and enforceable against it.

 

(c)        Its execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder will not conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default (or any event that, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) or result in the acceleration of any obligation under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its property or assets are subject, conflict with or violate any of the provisions of its organizational documents, or violate any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity, that would materially and adversely affect the performance of its duties hereunder; such Member has obtained any consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Member of its obligations hereunder.

 

(d)        There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it in any court or by or before any other Governmental Entity that would prohibit its entry into or performance of this Agreement.

Nothing in this Agreement should or may be construed to allow any Member to rely upon the advice of counsel acting for another Member or to create an attorney-client relationship between a Member and counsel for another Member.

(j)          The funds used to fund such Member’s Capital Contributions are not, and will not at any time be, (i) the property of, or beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person or (ii) the proceeds of specified unlawful activity as defined by 18 U.S.C. §1956(c)(7).

 

(k)         Unless disclosure would constitute a breach of any Applicable Laws, such Member shall supply to the Majority Member:

 

(i)         Promptly upon become aware of them, the details of any actual or potential violation by, or creation of liability for, any Member or any agent, direct, employee, or officer of any Member (or any counterparty of any such Person in relation to any transaction contemplated by this Agreement) of or in relation to any Anti-Corruption Laws or of any investigation or proceedings relating to the same;

 

(ii)        Copies of any correspondence delivered to, or received from, any regulatory authorities in relation to any matter referred to in Section 11.2(k)(i) above at the same time as they are dispatched or promptly upon receipt (as the case may be); and

 

(iii)       Promptly upon request by the Majority Member, such further information relating to any matter referred to in Sections 11.2(k)(i) and 11.2(k)(ii) above as the Majority Member may reasonably require.

 

46

 

(l)          Such Member:

 

(i)         Has complied, and at all times during the term of this Agreement will continue to comply, with all Applicable Laws, including the Anti-Corruption Laws and the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and will not cause the Company to violate any such laws;

 

(ii)        Has not, and agrees that it shall not, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with any other business transactions involving the Company, any Subsidiary, the Majority Member, or the Majority Member’s Affiliates, make any payment, transfer anything of value, or offer anything of value, directly or indirectly (A) to any governmental official or employee (including employees of a governmental corporation or public international organization) or to any political party or candidate for public office; or (B) to any other Person if such payments or transfers would violate the laws of the country in which made, the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom or the European Union, including the trade sanction and economic embargo programs enforced by OFAC, or the laws of any other applicable country;

 

(iii)       Is not, and during the term of this Agreement shall not become, a Prohibited Person;

 

(iv)      Has implemented policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to ensure such Member’s and its Affiliates’ compliance with all Applicable Laws, including the Anti-Corruption Laws and the Anti-Money Laundering Laws, and to ensure that Sections 11.2(j), 11.2(k), and this Section 11.2(l) remain true and correct at all times with respect to such Member;

 

(v)       Will cause its directors, officers, employees, and agents to be trained on compliance with the Anti-Corruption Laws and the Anti-Money Laundering Laws on a periodic basis; and

 

(vi)      Shall immediately notify the other Members in writing if it becomes aware that any of the foregoing representations, warranties, or covenants are no longer true or have been breached or if such Member has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached.

47

 

(b)       Attollo and Pettinelli (i) represent and warrant that the ownership and control structure of Attollo as of the date hereof is shown on Schedule 11.3(b) and (ii) covenant, acknowledge and agree that they shall promptly notify the Manager of any changes in the ownership structures, control rights or interests from what is shown on Schedule 11.3(b).

 

(c)        Attollo and Pettinelli (i) represent and warrant and warrants that a true, correct and complete copy of the limited liability company agreement of Attollo has been provided to the Manager on or prior to the date hereof, and (ii) covenant that the terms of such agreement shall not be modified in a manner that in any way contradicts the terms of Sections 11.3(a) or 11.3(b) hereof.

 

(d)        Attollo and Pettinelli represent and warrant that they have not dealt with any broker or finder in connection with its entering into this Agreement and shall indemnify each other Member for all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) which may arise out of a breach of the aforesaid representation and warranty. Attollo agrees to pay any applicable fees and expenses due any broker or finder that Attollo or its Affiliate has engaged.

 

Section 11.4.    Governing Law; Venue.

The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding in such courts and irrevocably waive and agree not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

Section 11.5.     Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

48

 

Section 11.6.    Confidentiality.

Nothing herein shall restrict any Member from disclosing information that: (i) is in the public domain (except where such information entered the public domain in violation of this Section 11.6); (ii) was made available or becomes available to a Member on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company; (iii) was available or becomes available to a Member on a non-confidential basis from a Person other than the Company who is not otherwise bound by a confidentiality agreement with the Company or its representatives, or is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Member; (iv) is developed independently by the Member; (v) is required to be disclosed by Applicable Laws (provided that prior to any such required disclosure, the disclosing party shall, to the extent possible, consult with the Manager and use best efforts to incorporate any reasonable comments of the Manager prior to such disclosure); or (vi) is expressly approved in writing by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event will any announcement or disclosure reference the name “Sculptor” or any derivation thereof without the prior written consent of the Majority Member. The provisions of this Section 11.6 shall survive the termination of the Company.

 

Section 11.7.    Notices. Whenever notice is required or permitted by this Agreement to be given, such notice shall be in writing and shall be given to any Member, Administrator or Manager at its address (including via electronic mail) shown either in the Company’s books and records or on Schedule 3.1 hereto. Each such notice shall be effective (a) if given by electronic mail, upon transmission, provided that if such transmission is sent after 5:00 pm New York time on a Business Day, or on a day that is not a Business Day, then such notice shall be deemed given on the following Business Day, (b) if given by mail, on the fourth (4th) day after deposit in the mails (certified or registered return receipt requested) addressed as aforesaid, (c) if given by overnight courier service or by hand delivery, when received or if delivery is refused, and (d) if given by any other means, when delivered to and receipted for at the address of such Member, Administrator or Manager specified as aforesaid.

Section 11.9.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, express or implied, oral or written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter hereof.

 

Section 11.10.  Amendments. Any amendment to this Agreement shall be effective only if such amendment is evidenced by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Manager, provided that a Member’s consent shall be required with respect to any amendment that materially, adversely and disproportionately affects such Member, provided further that amendments to Section 6.4 to effect the admission of a third party as an additional Member shall not be deemed to disproportionately affect Attollo so long as all Distributions to pre-existing Members are subordinated to and/or diluted by such new Member’s Interest.

 

49

 

Section 11.11.    Waivers. No waiver of any breach of any term of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought, and no such waiver of any breach of that term or any other term of the same or different nature shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of that term of the same or different nature.

 

Section 11.12.    Severability. It is the express intention of the parties that the agreements contained herein shall have the widest application possible. If any agreement contained herein is found by a court having jurisdiction to be unreasonable in scope or character, the agreement shall not be rendered unenforceable thereby, but rather the scope or character of such agreement shall be deemed reduced or modified with retroactive effect to render such agreement reasonable and such agreement shall be enforced as thus modified. If the court having jurisdiction will not review the agreement, then the parties shall mutually agree to revise the unenforceable provision to as close as permitted by law to the provision declared unenforceable. The parties further agree that in the event a court having jurisdiction determines, despite the express intent of the parties, that any portion of any covenant or agreement contained herein is not enforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain valid and enforceable.

 

Section 11.13.    No Partition. The Members hereby waive any right of partition they may have with respect to any assets of the Company, now existing or hereafter acquired.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY THE PARTIES, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY EACH OTHER PARTY, AS APPLICABLE.

 

Section 11.17.    Cumulative Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, 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 or otherwise.

 

50

 

Section 11.18.    Section Titles. Section titles are for descriptive purposes only and shall not control or alter the meaning of this Agreement as set forth in the text hereof.

 

Section 11.19.    No Third Party Beneficiaries. No provision of this Agreement (including any obligation of any Member to make Capital Contributions) shall be (a) interpreted as bestowing any rights whatsoever upon any third party, or (b) for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the Company or of any Member.

 

Section 11.20.    Number of Days. In computing the number of days (other than Business Days) for purposes of this Agreement, all days shall be counted, including Business Days; provided, however, that if the final day of any time period falls on a day other than a Business Day, then the final day shall be deemed to be the next day which is a Business Day.

 

Section 11.21.    Waiver of Conflict. (a) The Majority Member acknowledges that the law firm Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres LLC serves as counsel to Attollo and Pettinelli and may also perform services for the Company and any Subsidiaries. The Majority Member, by its execution hereof, acknowledges and consents to such multiple representation, and acknowledges that such firm is not representing the interest of the Majority Member in connection with this Agreement, and that in the event of any dispute hereunder, the law firm of Croke Fairchild Duarte & Beres LLC may continue to represent Attollo and Pettinelli.

 

(b)        Each of Attollo and Pettinelli acknowledges that the law firm Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP serves as counsel to the Majority Member and may also perform services for the Company and any Subsidiaries. Each of Attollo and Pettinelli, by their execution hereof, acknowledges and consents to such multiple representation, and acknowledges that such firm is not representing the interest of Attollo or Pettinelli in connection with this Agreement, and that in the event of any dispute hereunder, the law firm of Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP may continue to represent the Majority Member.

Schedule 4.1(h)(i)

 

Compliance Policy

 

I. ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY

 

This Policy prohibits Attollo and Pettinelli and any Person working on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary from promising, offering, receiving, authorizing or paying, either directly or indirectly, anything of value to anyone to improperly obtain or retain business or to improperly direct business to any person or company, or to improperly gain a competitive advantage (i.e. “Bribes”). Bribes are not limited to cash payments. Rather, an improper payment may include anything of value, including money, transfer of stock, bonds or any other property, the payment of expenses, the providing of services of any type, the assumption or forgiveness of any indebtedness, or any other transfer of goods, services, political contributions, gifts, travel, entertainment, commissions, shares, debt forgiveness or discounts, tangibles or intangibles that accrues to the benefit of the ultimate recipient or promotes his or her interests. The prohibition against Bribes extends to U.S. federal, state, local and other government officials (“U.S. Officials”), foreign officials and commercial parties.

 

In addition, Attollo, Pettinelli and any employee, agent or contractor conducting the business of the Company or any Subsidiary, will ensure that all gifts and entertainment furnished during the course of the Company’s or applicable Subsidiary’s business are permissible under local law and the rules of the recipient’s organization, are not lavish and are reasonable in value in the circumstances, are not given in connection with a specific decision to grant or extend business or provide a business advantage, and are given without any expected or implied obligation on the part of the recipient. Gifts of cash or cash equivalents are strictly prohibited.

 

This Policy applies to all gifts and entertainment, whether or not reimbursed by the Company or a Subsidiary.

 

Stricter rules generally apply to gifts and entertainment for public officials. In many instances, local law or the rules of the official’s organization prohibit the receipt of gifts. No gifts or entertainment may be given or provided on behalf of, or in connection with the business of, the Company or any Subsidiary to any government official whether domestic or foreign, regardless of value and whether or not paid for or reimbursed by the Company or a Subsidiary.

 

Attollo and Pettinelli shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Persons (including contractors, consultants and agents) conducting business on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary to perform their responsibilities in accordance with this anti-corruption policy.

 

II. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING POLICY

 

This Policy prohibits Attollo and Pettinelli and any Person working on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary from engaging in or otherwise facilitating money laundering. Money laundering is the process by which persons attempt to conceal the origin or ownership of the proceeds of illegal activities while still retaining control over such proceeds. Money laundering is often carried out through three stages: (1) introducing illegal proceeds into the financial system; (2) carrying out a series of transactions or transfers in order to distance the funds from the original source; and (3) reintroducing the newly “cleansed” proceeds into the financial system. Engaging in any action that facilitates money laundering by another person is also prohibited by Applicable Laws.

 


 

The following are examples of activity that could constitute money laundering or evidence of money laundering:

 

Engaging in a financial transaction while knowing or having a reason to know that the transaction is facilitating a crime;

 

Accepting an investment while knowing or willfully disregarding the fact that the investment funds are the proceeds of criminal activity;

 

Engaging in a financial transaction knowing that the funds being used are derived from the proceeds of criminal activity;

 

Carrying out fund transfers that are designed to conceal the origin or source of illegally obtained funds;

 

Facilitating a financial transaction while willfully or recklessly disregarding the source of an investor’s assets;

 

Advising an investor how to structure a transaction to avoid reporting requirements imposed by a government authority; or

 

Notifying or “tipping off” an investor potentially involved in suspicious activity that such activity is being investigated or reported to government authorities.

 

III. OFAC COMPLIANCE POLICY

 

The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions programs pursuant to Presidential and Congressional mandates. All U.S. persons must comply with the OFAC requirements that prohibit U.S. persons from entering into various prohibited transactions with particular jurisdictions or “specially designated nationals” (i.e., persons identified by OFAC), no matter where the transaction takes place. The prohibitions also extend to facilitating transactions that a U.S. person could not properly engage in directly, even if the transaction is carried out by foreign persons in foreign currency, involves foreign commodities, and takes place entirely outside the United States. Criminal violations of the statutes administered and enforced by OFAC may result in significant fines, asset forfeiture, and imprisonment.

 

Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary will engage in, facilitate, or authorize any OFAC-prohibited investments or transactions, directly or indirectly. To the extent appropriate given an assessment of the sanctions risk for proposed investment transactions or business relationships of the Company or any Subsidiary, Pettinelli will, prior to engaging in the proposed transactions or relationships, determine whether the proposed relationships are prohibited under OFAC requirements or whether the individual(s) or entities involved are included on any OFAC lists. To perform such reviews, Pettinelli may request that background reviews, research or OFAC checks be conducted. Note that the SDN list is changed frequently. To the extent appropriate given the sanctions risk associated with its investments and business partners, the Company also will periodically compare updates to the OFAC lists to the names of some or all of its and its Subsidiaries’ current business partners and will, as necessary, identify OFAC matches, reject transactions, block assets, and terminate relationships with any prohibited entities and individuals.

 

Schedule 4.1(h)(i) – Page 2

 

IV. RECORD KEEPING

 

It is the Company’s policy that all transactions involving Company or Subsidiary funds or assets should be recorded accurately and in reasonable detail. Records must completely reflect the transactions and asset dispositions of the Company and each Subsidiary wherever they take place.

 

V. BUSINESS PARTNER AND THIRD-PARTY DUE DILIGENCE

 

To the extent appropriate given an assessment of the legal and reputational risks associated with proposed business partners and third parties, the Company shall conduct risk-based due diligence procedures on all relevant proposed business partners and third parties. As appropriate given the assessed risk, this diligence may include the legitimacy of the proposed transaction, the lawfulness of the transaction, the source of funds, and the risk profile of the business partner or third party. As appropriate given the assessed risk, the Company may also include anticorruption and sanctions terms in its contracts with material business partners.

Vendor Compliance Language

At any time when requested by [the Company/Subsidiary], [VENDOR] shall certify in writing that [VENDOR] is and at all times has been in compliance with all Relevant Requirements.

Liquidity Cap

 

  Liquidity Notice is Given On or After the 36th Month Anniversary and Prior to 5th Anniversary of the Date Hereof Liquidity Notice is Given On or After 5th Anniversary of the Date Hereof
Base Liquidity Cap 25% of the Total Attollo Contribution 25% of the Total Attollo Contribution
Situation Allowing Increased Liquidity Cap above the Base Liquidity Cap Liquidity Cap becomes 50% of the Total Attollo Contribution if Pettinelli has been subject to a Termination Without Cause or Pettinelli has given a Resignation For Good Reason

Liquidity Cap becomes 50% of the Total Attollo Contribution if:

 

     Pettinelli has been subject to a Termination Without Cause or Pettinelli has given a Resignation For Good Reason; or

 

     Pettinelli is employed on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, but the Employment Agreement is not further extended beyond such date for any reason other than a Disqualifying EA Non-Renewal (including if the Company does not deliver a Qualifying Company EA Renewal Notice to Pettinelli); or

 

     the Liquidity Notice is given on or after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date hereof.

 


Schedule 9.7(c)(i)

 

Example Calculation of Liquidity Right

 

Assumptions:

 

Attollo makes no additional cash Capital Contributions.
 
Attollo does not exercise the Liquidity Right until the 6th anniversary of the date hereof.
 
Attollo makes a Crystallization Election on the first Quinquennial Date, at which time the Net Asset Value is $500,000,000 and Attollo’s Hypothetical Distributions (which would include some Promote Distributions) would be $54,500,000, so Attollo’s post-Crystallization Election Percentage Interest is 10.9%.
 
The Term of the Employment Agreement was extended for a second five-year Term on the 5th anniversary and Pettinelli remains employed as of the 6th anniversary of the date hereof.
 
No further Capital Contributions are made between the first Quinquennial Date and the 6th anniversary.
 
As of the 6th anniversary, the Net Asset Value is $520,000,000 and Attollo’s Hypothetical Distributions would be $56,680,000 (which would not include any Promote Distributions).
 
As of the 6th anniversary, Attollo exercises the Liquidity Right and chooses a Liquidity Amount of $4,500,000.
 

Example Section 9.7(c)(i) Calculation:

 

The Liquidity Percentage would be 7.94% (= $4,500,000 Liquidity Amount / ($56,680,000 Hypothetical Distributions - $0 Promote Distributions).
 
The Percentage Interest transferred would be 0.8655% ( = 7.94% Liquidity Percentage * Attollo’s 10.9% Percentage Interest).
 
Attollo’s partial Interest would be exchanged for OP Units valued at $4,500,000 (= the Liquidity Amount).
 
After the exercise of the Liquidity Right, the Majority Member would be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution as of the Quinquennial Date equal to $4,327,300 (= 7.94% Liquidity Percentage * Attollo’s $54,500,000 deemed Capital Contribution as of the Quinquennial Date) and Attollo would be deemed to have contributed the remainder. IRR and subsequent adjustments to Percentage Interests after the exercise of the Liquidity Right will be calculated based on these deemed contributions.
