Tejon
77.11%
Pardee
7.63%
CalAtlantic/SPIC
7.63%

7.63%



E.
Effective concurrently herewith, the Withdrawing Member has agreed to withdraw from the Company and to accept a liquidation of its interest therein (the “Withdrawal”) pursuant to that certain Redemption and Withdrawal Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between the Company and the Withdrawing Member (the “Redemption Agreement”).

F.
Effective upon the Withdrawal, the Percentage Interests of the Remaining Members shall be adjusted (by reallocating the Withdrawing Member’s Amendment Effective Date Percentage Interest to the Remaining Members in proportion to such Remaining Members’ relative Amendment Effective Date Percentage Interests) and the Percentage Interests of the Remaining Members immediately following such adjustment shall be as follows:

Tejon
83.48%
Pardee
8.26%
CalAtlantic/SPIC
8.26%

Such reallocation of Percentage Interests shall be for all purposes used in the LLC Agreement, including, without limitation, the obligation to contribute Capital Contributions. Such Percentage Interests shall remain subject to further adjustment and dilution as provided in the LLC Agreement.
