authority to be satisfied by LIMCO prior to the Closing.


 


Except with respect to the Assigned Pre-Closing
Agreement Rights, the foregoing assignment is exclusive as to the Project Property provided LIMCO shall retain (i) the right
but not the obligation to enforce the Government Agreements and the Pre-Closing Agreements as to the Excluded Property and the
Retained Property and (ii) all rights and claims under the Government Agreements and the Pre-Closing Agreements concerning
the Excluded Property and the Retained Property. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.6.2 below, LIMCO may amend the list
of Pre-Closing Agreements set forth in Exhibit “O” before the Closing as additional Pre-Closing Agreements
are signed by LIMCO and shall provide Lewis with copies of all the Pre-Closing Agreements promptly thereafter.


 


3.3           Retained
Property. The parties intend that the real property owned by the Company shall ultimately
be limited to the Project Land, the East Area 1 Appurtenances and the Mendez Appurtenances and the East Area 1 Improvements and
the Mendez Improvements (other than the Excluded Property) (the “Project Real Property”) and shall not include
any of the Retained Property. The parties acknowledge that if LIMCO could legally retain title to the Retained Property, and convey
just the Project Real Property to the Company at the Closing, the obligation hereunder to convey real property to the Company
would have been limited to the Project Real Property. However, since as of the Closing Date the Conveyance Map that will create
the Retained Property as separate legal parcels or tracts will not have been recorded and therefore the Retained Property will
not be separate legal parcels or tracts, LIMCO has agreed to convey the East Area 1 Property (which includes the Retained
Property) to the Company on the condition that LIMCO and Lewis cause the Company to record the Conveyance Map and reconvey the
Retained Property to LIMCO or its designee concurrent with, or immediately after, such recordation without any payment or other
consideration. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that upon the Closing the Company will acquire only bare legal title to
the Retained Property, and that in no event will it acquire any beneficial rights or obligations incident to ownership with respect
thereto, it being the intent of the parties that the Company hold the Retained Property in trust for the benefit of LIMCO, and
at all times subject to (a) the obligation hereunder to reconvey the Retained Property to LIMCO or its designee free and
clear of any and all encumbrances the Company may have placed on the Retained Property (except as contemplated by this Agreement
or the Retained Property Development Agreement or approved by LIMCO in writing), including any liens of any deeds of trust, and
(b) the restrictions on the Company’s use and enjoyment of the Retained Property, as described below. Since the parties
do not intend that the Company acquire a present beneficial interest in the Retained Property (i.e., an interest with a value
substantially equal to the fee interest) or to transfer the beneficial use of the Retained Property to the Company, all of the
LIMCO Contribution Value and the Lewis Initial Cash Consideration shall be allocated to East Area 1 other than the Retained Property.
LIMCO shall retain the exclusive rights to use and occupy the Retained Property, and the Company shall have no rights to any income
generated by the Retained Property or to develop, improve (except as otherwise contemplated by the Company LLC Agreement or Retained
Property Development Agreement), sell, assign, lease or transfer (other than to LIMCO or its designee as required herein), encumber
or pledge all or any portion of the Retained Property at any time. At Closing LIMCO and Lewis shall cause the Company to deliver
to the Title Company a memorandum of the Company’s reconveyance obligation substantially in the form of Exhibit “T”
attached hereto evidencing the obligation of the Company to reconvey the Retained Property to LIMCO or its designee. The parties
acknowledge and agree that LIMCO shall be and remain responsible for all real estate taxes, personal property taxes and assessments
that may be levied or assessed against the Retained Property, maintenance and repair of the Retained Property (except as otherwise
provided in the Company LLC Agreement or the Retained Property Development Agreement), charges for utilities in respect to the
Retained Property and property insurance covering the Retained Property. Real estate taxes shall be allocated as between the Project
Real Property and the Retained Property on the basis of the relative gross acreage of the Retained Property to all of East Area 1
such that the Retained Property shall be allocated 9.53% of the total real estate taxes on East Area 1. The parties acknowledge
and agree that upon recordation of the Conveyance Map and reconveyance of the Retained Property to LIMCO or its designee, the
Company will cease to have a record title interest or any other interest in the Retained Property. The terms and provisions of
this Section 3.3 shall survive the Closing indefinitely, and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 7.3.1
below.


 




    	 	10	 



     


    

  


3.4           Water
Rights. Upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice from the
Manager (as defined in the Company LLC Agreement), LIMCO shall transfer to the Company sufficient groundwater production and/or
water rights to the City to allow the Company to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.2.2 of the Development Agreement,
and any other groundwater production and/or water rights required by the City or other governmental agency in connection with
existing or future entitlements for the Project.


 


4.          Conditions
Precedent. The obligations of the parties to proceed with the Closing are subject
to satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent on or before the applicable date specified for satisfaction of the
applicable condition. Except as set forth in Section 4.8 below, any of the following conditions precedent may be waived prior
to the Closing but only in writing and only by the party in whose favor such condition exists. If any of such conditions is not
fulfilled (and not waived in writing to the extent permitted hereunder) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then the party
in whose favor such condition exists may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by notice to the other party at any
time prior to the Closing and, in connection with any such termination, LIMCO, Lewis, the Company and their respective Affiliates
shall be released from further obligation or liability hereunder (except for those obligations and liabilities which, pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, survive such termination). In the event that the failure of the condition is for the benefit of
Lewis under Sections 4.1, 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 or 4.9, then the terms of Section 9.1 shall apply. However, except as otherwise set
forth in Section 4.8 below, if a party proceeds with the Closing, then it shall be deemed to have waived any unsatisfied conditions
precedent for its benefit under this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, each of the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the other
party’s obligations.

4.1          Title
Matters.


 


4.1.1           Pro
Forma Title Policy; Survey. Subject to Section 4.1.2 regarding Additional Title Matters
first disclosed after the Effective Date and Section 4.1.4 regarding monetary liens, Lewis has approved the exceptions to
title shown on the Pro Forma Title Policy, the matters disclosed on the that certain survey that included the Project Real Property
dated March 19, 2013, prepared by Jensen Design and Survey and identified as Job No. LIM01.4521 (“Survey”)
and matters that would be shown on a survey of the Property updated as of the Effective Date. Lewis has also approved the Interim
Binder Form A (the “Binder”), delivered by the Title Company in accordance with the Pro Forma Title Policy,
the cost of which shall be initially paid by LIMCO and shall be included in the Limoneira Pre-Assignment Expenses (as defined
in the Company LLC Agreement).


 


4.1.2           Additional
Title Matters. Approval by Lewis of any additional exceptions to title or survey
matters relating to the Project Real Property first disclosed after the Effective Date that (a) did not arise from acts or
omissions of Lewis or any Affiliate or agent of Lewis, and (b) would have a Material Adverse Effect shall be a condition
precedent to Lewis’s obligations under this Agreement to proceed with the Closing (each an “Additional Title Matter”).
Unless Lewis gives written notice (“Title Disapproval Notice”) that it disapproves any Additional Title Matters,
stating the Additional Title Matters so disapproved, before the sooner to occur of the Closing or ten (10) days after receipt
of written notice of such Additional Title Matters, Lewis shall be deemed to have approved such Additional Title Matters. LIMCO
shall have up to a thirty (30) day period after its receipt of any Title Disapproval Notice within which to remove the disapproved
Additional Title Matters set forth therein from title or obtain from Title Company an unconditional and irrevocable commitment
to issue an endorsement to the Title Policy at the Closing affirmatively insuring against such items in a form reasonably acceptable
to Lewis at no cost or expense to Lewis (LIMCO having the right but not the obligation to do so), and the Closing Date shall be
extended, at LIMCO’s option, to allow for such thirty (30) day period. In the event LIMCO determines at any time that
it is unable or unwilling to remove any one or more of such disapproved Additional Title Matters, LIMCO may give notice to Lewis
to such effect; in such event, Lewis may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon notice to LIMCO but only if given prior
to the sooner to occur of the Closing or five (5) Business Days after Lewis receives LIMCO’s notice. If Lewis fails
to give such termination notice by such date, Lewis shall be deemed to have waived its objection to, and approved, the matters
set forth in LIMCO’s notice.


 


4.1.3           Exceptions
to Title. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be obligated to accept
title to the Property subject to the following exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”) as to which
Lewis shall have no right to object:


 


(a)          Real
estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable;


 


(b)          The
exceptions to title or survey exceptions shown on the Pro Forma Title Policy; and


 


(c)          The
following other exceptions to title or survey exceptions: (i) those approved or deemed approved by Lewis pursuant to the above
provisions of this Section 4.1, (ii) those that do not relate to the Project Real Property and (iii) those otherwise
expressly permitted under this Agreement (the “Additional Permitted Exceptions”).


 




    	 	12	 



     


    

  


Conclusive evidence of the availability
of such title shall be the willingness of Title Company to issue the Title Policy to the Company on the Closing Date.


 


4.1.4           LIMCO
Title Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.1.2 to the contrary,
at or before the Closing, LIMCO shall at or prior to the Closing pay and cause to be removed from title to the Project Real Property
any LIMCO Monetary Liens (as defined below). LIMCO represents and warrants to Lewis that, to LIMCO’s knowledge, as of the
Effective Date there are no unrecorded LIMCO Monetary Liens nor any unrecorded Non-LIMCO Monetary Liens that encumber the Project
Real Property unless listed on Schedule 4.1.4 attached hereto and to the best of the knowledge of LIMCO, no unrecorded Non-LIMCO
Monetary Liens are pending or threatened. LIMCO shall not record or permit the recordation of any LIMCO Monetary Liens before
or at the Closing. “LIMCO Monetary Liens” shall mean trust deeds, mechanics liens, or other monetary liens
(other than (i)  any monetary liens created as a result in whole or in part by or through any act or omission of Lewis or
any Affiliate or agent of Lewis [individually, a “Lewis Lien” and collectively, the “Lewis Liens”),
and (ii)  any monetary liens not created in whole or in part by or through any act or omission of LIMCO or any Affiliate
or agent of LIMCO, to the extent that the aggregate amount of such monetary lien or liens equals or exceeds Two Million and No/100
Dollars ($2,000,000) (individually, a “Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien” and collectively, the “Non-LIMCO Monetary
Liens”)]. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, LIMCO shall have no obligation to pay or otherwise
satisfy, remove from title, or cause the Title Company to issue a lien-free endorsement against loss due to any Lewis Lien. With
regards to any Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien, upon its receipt of written notice of any Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien, LIMCO shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to either cause the removal of such Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien from title or to cause the Title Company to issue
a lien-free endorsement insuring against loss due thereto in a form reasonably acceptable to Lewis at no cost or expense to Lewis.
Without limitation on the foregoing, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not include any obligation on the part
of LIMCO to pay or otherwise satisfy any such Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien or to provide an indemnity agreement in favor of the Title
Company against loss due thereto. LIMCO shall have up to a sixty (60) day period after its receipt of written notice of any Non-LIMCO
Monetary Lien, to satisfy its obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien from title
or obtain from the Title Company a commitment to issue a lien-free endorsement insuring against loss due thereto, and the Closing
Date shall be extended to allow for such sixty (60) day period. If upon the expiration of such sixty (60) period LIMCO is diligently
pursuing a resolution of any such Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien and needs additional time, the Closing Date shall be further extended,
at LIMCO’s option, to allow for such extra time, not to exceed a total of ninety (90) days from the date of LIMCO’s
receipt of notice of such Non-LIMCO Monetary Lien.  In the event LIMCO determines at any time that it is unable to remove
any one or more of such Non-LIMCO Monetary Liens or provide a lien free endorsement insuring against loss with respect thereto,
 LIMCO may give notice to Lewis to such effect, in such event, Lewis may, at its option terminate this Agreement upon notice
to LIMCO, but only if such notice is given prior to the sooner to occur of the Closing or five (5) Business Days after Lewis receives
LIMCO’s notice.  If Lewis fails to timely give such termination notice, Lewis shall be deemed to have waived its objection
to, and to have approved any such Non-LIMCO Monetary Liens.  If Lewis terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.1.4,
then no party hereto shall have any further obligation in connection herewith, except under those provisions that expressly survive
a termination of this Agreement, and Lewis shall be entitled to return of the Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit (to the extent
Lewis has made the Second Deposit).


 




    	 	13	 



     


    

  


4.2           Due
Diligence Reviews. Prior to the Effective Date LIMCO delivered to Lewis and Lewis
received or was provided access to copies of those documents and other items relating to the Property that are listed on Exhibit “O”
(“Property Information”), and LIMCO provided Lewis with reasonable access to the Property. Lewis hereby
acknowledges that it has performed and completed (to Lewis’s satisfaction) all of its due diligence examinations, reviews
and inspections of all matters pertaining to the Property and its value and suitability for the Company’s purposes, including
review of all the Project Entitlements and Pre-Closing Agreements, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters and
conditions respecting the Property. Lewis acknowledges and agrees that LIMCO did not and does not have any obligation to make
available to Lewis any of the Excluded Property Information (as defined below). Lewis is hereby advised that the Property Information
may include reports by third parties prepared exclusively for LIMCO, and Lewis may not be entitled to rely upon such reports.
If Lewis desires to rely upon such reports, Lewis shall be responsible for obtaining the agreement of the party who prepared the
same to permit Lewis to rely thereon and LIMCO shall, at no cost to LIMCO, cooperate with Lewis in connection with obtaining reliance
letters from such parties. “Excluded Property Information” means any documents or other information involving
either LIMCO’s financing or refinancing of the Property, pertaining to the potential acquisition of the Property or an interest
therein by any past or prospective purchasers, any third party purchase inquiries and correspondence, appraisals, LIMCO’s
valuation of the Property, internal budgets or financial projections, pertaining to LIMCO’s agribusiness, campaign and other
materials relating to the proposal to amend the City’s 1998 General Plan, Excluded Agreements, and other agreements with
consultants (other than the Pre-Closing Agreements), agreements with the School District, with the City or other government entities
(other than the Government Agreements), any drafts of the documents that comprise the Project Entitlements, drafts of any agreements
that have been executed, any proprietary or confidential documents or documents related to the Excluded Property or the Retained
Property (other than documents relating to the physical and/or environmental condition of the Retained Property) and any other
internal documents.


 


4.3           Lewis’s
Agreement to Indemnify. Lewis agrees to indemnify, defend and hold LIMCO harmless from
and against any liens, claims, causes of action, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees) (collectively “Claims”) arising out of Lewis’s inspections or tests of the Property or the entry
by Lewis or any Affiliate or agent of Lewis into or presence upon the Property prior to the Closing but not including any Claims
that arise by reason of the mere discovery by Lewis (or by its Affiliates or consultants) of any physical condition, which physical
condition was not caused by an act or omission of Lewis or any of its consultants or Affiliates, that may affect the use or value
of the Property including, without limitation, the existence of any Hazardous Materials, or of any protected habitat, species
or archeological conditions, or any negative geological condition. Lewis’s obligations under this Section 4.3 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and shall also survive the Closing, and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 7.3.1
below.


 




    	 	14	 



     


    

  


4.4           Estoppel
Certificates.  Receipt of an estoppel certificate from the City with respect
to the Development Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit “S” attached hereto (the “City
Estoppel Certificate”) shall be a condition precedent to Lewis’s obligation to proceed with the Closing. LIMCO’s
sole obligation hereunder with respect to the City Estoppel Certificate shall be to utilize commercially reasonable efforts (and,
as used in this Agreement, commercially reasonable efforts shall not include any obligation to institute legal proceedings, incur
any liabilities or expend any monies) to obtain the City Estoppel Certificate. Without limitation on the foregoing, if the City
Estoppel Certificate discloses matters that would have a Material Adverse Effect, that are not consistent with the Development
Agreement, were not disclosed to Lewis in writing prior to the Effective Date, and are not cured or satisfied by LIMCO on or before
the Closing Date, then Lewis shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon notice to LIMCO, but only if given prior to
the sooner to occur of the Closing and five (5) Business Days after receipt (and failure to terminate timely shall be deemed a
waiver of the right to terminate by reason thereof); and, if Lewis so terminates this Agreement, then no party hereto shall have
any further obligation in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.


 


4.5           Releases.
Receipt of the following releases with regards to the Project Property only, but not the Retained Property or Excluded Property,
shall be a condition precedent to LIMCO’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement:


 


(a)          a
release of LIMCO from the City of all liability under the Development Agreement with respect to the burdens and obligations thereunder
assumed by the Company under this Agreement;

release of LIMCO from the School District of all liability under the School Mitigation Agreements with respect to the burdens and
obligations thereunder assumed by the Company under this Agreement.


 


4.6           Performance
by LIMCO and Affiliates. The performance and observance, in all material respects, by
LIMCO and its Affiliates of all covenants and agreements in this Agreement to be performed or observed by any of them prior to
or on the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Lewis’s obligation to proceed with the Closing. Similarly, the
truth and accuracy in all material respects of all representations and warranties of LIMCO and its Affiliates made or to be made
hereunder or under the Company LLC Agreement, as of the Closing Date, shall be a condition precedent to Lewis’s obligation
to proceed with the Closing. LIMCO shall use reasonable efforts to (and to cause its Affiliates to) refrain from taking any action
or intentionally omitting to take any action, which action or omission would result in a breach of any such covenant or agreement
or an exception to or breach of any such representation or warranty.


 


4.7           Performance
by Lewis. The performance and observance, in all material respects, by Lewis and its Affiliates
of all covenants and agreements in this Agreement to be performed or observed by any of them prior to or on the Closing Date shall
be a condition precedent to LIMCO’s obligation to proceed with the Closing. Similarly, the truth and accuracy in all material
respects of all representations and warranties of Lewis and its Affiliates made or to be made hereunder or under the Company LLC
Agreement, as of the Closing Date, shall be a condition precedent to LIMCO’s obligation to proceed with the Closing. Lewis
shall use reasonable efforts to (and to cause its Affiliates to) refrain from taking any action or intentionally omitting to take
any action, which action or omission would result in a breach of any such covenant or agreement or an exception to or breach of
any such representation or warranty.

4.8           Property
Status. Receipt by LIMCO and Lewis of evidence reasonably acceptable to LIMCO and Lewis,
which may be in the form of a determination by the County of Ventura that the East Area 1 Land is a legal lot or a Certificate
of Compliance with respect thereto from the County that conveyance of the East Area 1 Land to the Company will not violate
the California Subdivision Map Act (California Government Code §66410-66499.37) and the issuance by Title Company of a CLTA
116.7 endorsement that the Property is in compliance with the Subdivision Map Act shall be a condition precedent to Closing that
neither Lewis nor LIMCO shall have the right to waive. This condition shall be a condition precedent to both Lewis’s and
LIMCO’s obligation to proceed with the Closing.


 


4.9           Amendment
to East Area 1 Specific Plan SP-3. The approval of the City Council of the City
of Santa Paula of that certain amendment to the East Area 1 Specific Plan SP-3 attached as Exhibit “R” (the “Specific
Plan Amendment”) and the expiration of the CEQA Challenge Period shall be a condition to the respective obligations
of LIMCO and of Lewis to proceed with the Closing. In the event that a CEQA Challenge is filed before the expiration of the CEQA
Challenge Period, the terms of Section 7.6.3 shall apply.


 


5.          Closing
Procedure. The Closing shall occur on the Closing Date, subject to the rights of
each party under this Agreement.

of days elapsed over the applicable period on or after the Closing Date, except as may otherwise be provided below). The parties
acknowledge that LIMCO shall be entitled to revenues from the Property for the period prior to the Closing Date and for the period
after the Closing Date to the extent generated by or attributable to the Excluded Property, the Retained Property or LIMCO’s
agricultural business conducted on any portion of the Property.


 


(a)          All
real estate and personal property taxes and assessments allocated to the Project Real Property for the tax year (the “Current
Tax Year”) in which the Closing occurs (with LIMCO and the Company each being responsible for a pro rata share of such
taxes and assessments based upon the number of days in such tax year occurring before the Closing Date, in the case of LIMCO, and
on or after the Closing Date, in the case of the Company). LIMCO shall be responsible for all real estate and personal property
taxes and assessments in respect of the Project Real Property for any tax year prior to the Current Tax Year and all real estate
and personal property taxes allocated to the Retained Property. Real estate taxes shall be allocated between the Project Real Property
and the Retained Property based upon relative gross acreage such that the Project Real Property would be allocated 90.47% of the
total real property taxes on East Area 1. If any assessments are payable in installments, then the installment for the current
period shall be prorated (with the Company being allocated the obligation to pay any installments due after the Closing Date).
LIMCO shall pay, remain liable for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and Lewis (as a member of the Company)
from all real estate and personal property taxes and assessments on the Project Real Property allocable to all tax periods ending
prior to the Closing Date, and all costs, expenses, liabilities and penalties incurred by the Company or Lewis as a result thereof.


 




    	 	19	 



     


    

  


(b)          LIMCO
shall be entitled to a credit for all deposits held by utility companies and other third parties in respect of the Property, to
the extent assigned to the Company on the Closing Date.


 


(c)          All
charges for utilities in respect of the Project Real Property shall be prorated outside of the escrow as LIMCO vacates and surrenders
possession of portions of the Project Real Property to the Company pursuant to the Lease Agreement.


 


(d)          Pursuant
to Section 3.4 above, LIMCO shall pay and remain responsible for all real estate taxes, personal property taxes and assessments
on, and insurance and utility charges in respect of, the Retained Property.


 


5.4.2           Calculation.
The prorations and adjustments for the Closing shall be calculated by LIMCO and submitted by written statement to Lewis for reasonable
approval prior to Closing. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Section 5.4.2 shall prove to be
incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any item that cannot be finally
prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available
and reprorated when the information is available. The obligations of LIMCO and Lewis under Section 5.4 shall survive the
Closing until the end of the Survival Period (as defined below). As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the calendar
year in which the Closing occurs, Lewis shall deliver an accounting and substantiation to LIMCO covering all prorations and adjustments
under this Section 5.4. Within a reasonable period after the parties agree on a reasonably acceptable accounting for the
Closing, LIMCO and the Company shall pay to the other any monies owed to the other thereunder.


 


5.5           Possession.
LIMCO shall deliver possession of the Project Real Property to the Company at the Closing, subject to LIMCO’s right to remain
in possession of the Project Real Property pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease Agreement and subject to the provisions
of Section 3.3 above restricting Company’s use and enjoyment of the Retained Property.

6.          Damage
or Destruction; Condemnation.


 


6.1           Damage
or Destruction. Except as otherwise set forth below, if prior to the Closing the Project
Real Property or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and there shall
be no credit, offset or deduction to the Lewis Initial Cash Consideration, but upon the Closing, LIMCO shall deliver and assign
to the Company any resulting insurance claim or proceeds (other than a claim relating to LIMCO’s agribusiness, which claim
shall be retained by LIMCO). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) to the extent that prior to the Closing the Project Real Property
or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed (except for any damage resulting from rock crushing operations, which shall in
any event, not be considered damage or destruction) as a result of an act of LIMCO or its agents or affiliates, which would cost
in excess of an amount equal to $50,000 to repair or restore, as determined by a contractor mutually acceptable to LIMCO and Lewis
in their reasonable discretion, LIMCO shall pay for the cost to repair or restore the damaged portion of the Project Real Property,
not to exceed Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000), and if the cost to repair or restore such damage or destruction would
cost in excess of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) to repair or restore (either with respect to a single incident or
in the aggregate, with respect to multiple incidents) , as determined by a contractor mutually acceptable to LIMCO and Lewis in
their reasonable discretion, Lewis may either (i) proceed to Closing, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof
delivered to LIMCO within ten (10) days after Lewis has received notice of the contractor’s determination that the
cost to repair or restore such damage or destruction would cost in excess of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000), and
if such termination right is exercised, the Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit (to the extent Lewis has made the Second Deposit)
shall be returned to Lewis and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for LIMCO’s
indemnification rights from Lewis under Section 4.3 and both parties’ right to recover damages for the other party’s
breach of the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 10.14, and Lewis shall also be entitled to receive from LIMCO
Lewis’s reasonable third-party out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Lewis in connection with the Project Property,
including legal fees, to a maximum of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), and (b) to the extent that prior to Closing the
Project Real Property or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed (except for any damage resulting from rock crushing operations,
which shall in any event, not be considered damage or destruction), not as a result of an act of LIMCO, which damage or destruction
would have a Material Adverse Effect, Lewis may either (i) proceed to Closing, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice
thereof delivered to LIMCO within ten (10) days after Lewis has received notice of the contractor’s determination that
the cost to repair or restore such damage or destruction would cost in excess of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000),
and if such termination right is exercised, the Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit (to the extent Lewis has made the Second
Deposit) shall be returned to Lewis and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except
for LIMCO’s indemnification rights from Lewis under Section 4.3 and both parties’ right to recover damages for the
other party’s breach of the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 10.14; provided, however, that Lewis
shall not have any termination right to the extent such damage or destruction was caused by an act of Lewis or any of its agents
or affiliates.


 


6.2           Condemnation.
If prior to the Closing Date, any portion of the Project Real Property is taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings (or such
proceedings are commenced or threatened), upon LIMCO’s receipt of written notice (or LIMCO otherwise attaining knowledge)
thereof, LIMCO shall give Lewis prompt notice of the same. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect, and there shall
be no credit, offset or deduction to the Lewis Initial Cash Consideration, but upon the Closing, LIMCO shall deliver and assign
to the Company any right, title and interest of LIMCO to all claims respecting any related condemnation (other than any claim
relating to LIMCO’s agribusiness, which claim shall be retained by LIMCO). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the
Closing, a portion of the Project Real Property is taken or LIMCO or Lewis receives written notice from any governmental agency
indicating its intent to exercise its power of eminent domain of all or any portion of the Project Real Property and, in the reasonable
estimate of the parties hereto as a result of such taking, the number of residential dwelling units that may be constructed on
the Project Real Property or the revenues projected from the sale of residential dwelling units constructed on the Project Real
Property will be reduced by more than five percent (5%), then Lewis and LIMCO shall each have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon notice to the other and to the Title Company on or before the scheduled Closing Date, in which case this Agreement
shall terminate.

bear upon the Property and its value and suitability for the Company’s purposes, and has either done so or elected not

documents of LIMCO, (ii) conflict with, result in the breach of, or constitute a default or accelerate any right under, any

the “Excluded Representations”). The representation and warranty set forth in Section 12.17(o) of the Company
LLC Agreement is not included as part of the Excluded Representations and shall not apply to this Agreement but its exclusion shall

Basket.


 


7.3.1          The
foregoing representations and warranties under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 and in Section 4.1.4 (with the exception of the Excluded
Representations) and all other obligations, provisions and liabilities under this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection
herewith (including any cause of action by reason of a breach thereof) shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement
or in any other documents delivered in connection with the Closing (including in Section 3.3 and Section 4.3 above), survive until
the date that is one (1) year after the Closing (the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on such date being herein
called the “Survival Period”), at which time such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, provisions,
and liabilities (and any cause of action from a breach thereof) shall terminate, except that (a) such representations, warranties
and liabilities shall continue to survive to the extent written notice of the breach thereof (identifying such breach with reasonable
detail) has been theretofore delivered, and (b) the Survival Period for the representations and warranties in Section 8

    	 	25	 



     


    

 


7.3.2           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Closing of the transactions hereunder shall have occurred: (1) LIMCO shall
have no liability (and Lewis shall make no claim against LIMCO) for a breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement
(with the exception of the Excluded Representations) or a breach of any other obligation of LIMCO in this Agreement that occurred
prior to the Closing, but which is not discovered by Lewis until after the Closing or for indemnification under this Agreement
applicable to any such breach, unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate to more than Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000); (2) the liability of LIMCO under this Agreement and such documents shall not exceed, in the aggregate,
an amount (the “Maximum Liability Amount”) equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) minus an amount equal to
any legal fees that Lewis claims it is entitled to receive from LIMCO in connection with any breach by LIMCO of the representations
and warranties set forth in this Agreement (with the exception of the Excluded Representations) (it being understood that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other document, LIMCO’s liability under this Agreement and the documents
executed by LIMCO in connection herewith for a breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement (with the exception
of the Excluded Representations) or a breach of any other obligation of LIMCO in this Agreement which occurred prior to the Closing
but which is not discovered by Lewis until after the Closing or for indemnification under this Agreement applicable to any such
breach shall in no event exceed, in the aggregate, the Maximum Liability Amount), and (3) in no event shall LIMCO be liable for
any consequential or punitive damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.3.2., the indemnity
provision in Section 3.3 of this Agreement and the indemnity provisions in the Retained Property Development Agreement,
the Lease Agreement, the Company LLC Agreement and in any other documents delivered to Lewis in connection with the Closing, shall
not be subject to the Maximum Liability Amount.


 


7.4           Limitation
of Liability. No constituent member or partner in or agent of LIMCO, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer,
employee, beneficiary, shareholder, member, partner, participant, representative or agent of any partnership, limited
liability company, corporation, trust or other entity that has or acquires a direct or indirect interest in LIMCO, shall have
any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered
into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at
any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Lewis and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other
persons and entities, shall look solely to LIMCO’s assets for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and
Lewis, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account of any constituent member or
partner in LIMCO (or in any other constituent member or partner of LIMCO), nor any obligation of any constituent member or
partner in LIMCO (or in any other constituent member or partner of LIMCO) to restore a negative capital account or to
contribute capital to LIMCO (or to any other constituent member or partner of LIMCO), shall at any time be deemed to be the
property or an asset of LIMCO or any such other constituent member or partner (and neither Lewis nor any of its successors or
assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative capital account or a
member’s or partner’s obligation to restore or contribute). The foregoing shall be in addition to, and not in
limitation of, any further limitation of liability that might otherwise apply (whether by reason of Investor’s
waiver, relinquishment or release of any applicable rights or otherwise). 


 




    	 	26	 



     


    

 


7.5         Knowledge.


 


7.5.1           Definition.
When a statement is made under this Agreement to the “knowledge” of a party (or other similar phrase), it means
that none of the Designated Representatives of such party has any actual knowledge (without further investigation) of any facts
indicating that such statement is not true. None of the Designated Representatives shall have any personal liability in such capacity
under this Agreement.


 


7.5.2           Designated
Representatives. The “Designated Representatives” are limited to the following individuals:


 


      (a)          for
LIMCO: Harold Edwards, Alex Teague, Joseph D. Rumley and Mike Penrod.


 


      (b)          for
Lewis: Robert Martin, John Goodman and Glen Crosby.


 


7.5.3           Knowledge
as a Defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.3.1, neither Lewis nor LIMCO (“Obligated
Party”), or their respective Affiliates, shall have any liability to the other (“Beneficiary”), or
its Affiliates or the Company, and Beneficiary shall make no claim against Obligated Party (or its Affiliates), for a breach of
any representation or warranty, covenant or other obligation of Obligated Party (or its Affiliates) under this Agreement or any
certificate executed by Obligated Party in connection with this Agreement (including for this purpose any matter that would have
constituted a breach of LIMCO’s representations and warranties had they been made on the Closing Date) (a) if the failure
or breach in question constitutes or results from a condition, state of facts or other matter that was known to Beneficiary on
the Effective Date, (b) if the failure or breach in question constitutes or results from a condition, state of facts or other
matter that was known to Beneficiary prior to Closing and Beneficiary proceeds with the Closing, or (c) to the extent, in
the case of a representation and warranty of LIMCO, the same is confirmed by any estoppel from the City with respect to the Development
Agreement delivered to Lewis prior to the Closing and Lewis proceeds with the Closing.


 


7.6         Interim
Covenants. Until the Closing Date or the sooner termination of this Agreement:


 


7.6.1           Existing
Entitlements and Agreements. Except for the Specific Plan
Amendment, LIMCO shall not modify or otherwise amend any of the Project Entitlements, the Government Agreements or the Dedication
and Property Improvement Agreement.


 




    	 	27	 



     


    

 


7.6.2           New
Agreements. Except for agreements entered into in the ordinary course of the conduct of its agribusiness and agreements entered
into pursuant to this Agreement in furtherance of the Project which are approved by Lewis, including pursuant to Sections 7.6.3,
7.6.4, 7.6.5 and 7.6.6 below, LIMCO shall not enter into any agreement that will survive the Closing and cause the Company to incur
a loss in excess of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000), without the prior written consent of Lewis, which consent may
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as LIMCO pays for the loss incurred by the Company, provided, however,
that if any new agreement entered into by LIMCO causes the Company to incur a loss in excess of Two Million and No/100 Dollars
($2,000,000), then Lewis may, in its sole discretion, elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof delivered to
LIMCO , but only if given prior to the sooner to occur of the Closing and ten (10) days after Lewis has received notice of
the determination that the loss to the Company would be in excess of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000), and if such termination
right is exercised, the Initial Deposit and the Second Deposit (to the extent Lewis has made the Second Deposit) shall be returned
to Lewis and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for LIMCO’s indemnification
rights from Lewis under Section 4.3 and both parties’ right to recover damages for the other party’s breach of the
confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 10.14. Further, if LIMCO delivers a written request for Lewis’s consent
to any of the foregoing, Lewis shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of such request to reject or deny
the same. In the event Lewis does not respond to such written request within such five (5) business-day period, Lewis’s
consent shall be deemed granted hereunder.


 


7.6.3           Specific
Plan Amendment. LIMCO and Lewis shall cooperate as may be necessary to facilitate the approval of the Specific Plan Amendment
by the Santa Paula City Council. If a CEQA Challenge is filed during the CEQA Challenge Period, (a) LIMCO and Lewis agree to work
together to resolve such CEQA Challenge prior to the date that is one (1) year after the expiration of the CEQA Challenge Period,
(b) Stowell, Zeilenga, Ruth, Vaughn & Treiger LLP or any other attorney approved by both LIMCO and Lewis shall be hired as
counsel to defend the CEQA Challenge, and (c) all commercially reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection with the resolution
and/or defense of any CEQA Challenge shall be split evenly between LIMCO and Lewis.


 


7.6.4           Local
Hiring Program. Pursuant to Section 8.6.5 of the Development Agreement the Developer (as defined therein) agreed to prepare
the Local Hiring Program (as that term is defined in the Development Agreement) within one hundred eighty (180) days of the City’s
approval of the Vesting Tentative Map (as defined in the Development Agreement). LIMCO and Lewis shall work together and cooperate
to prepare the Local Hiring Program and all commercially reasonable costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be
split evenly between LIMCO and Lewis. If for any reason the Local Hiring Program is not prepared within the timeframe set forth
in Section 8.6.5 of the Development Agreement, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Lewis
agrees (a) such failure alone shall not be deemed a failure to satisfy any of the Second Deposit Conditions or Lewis’s
conditions to its obligation to proceed with the Closing or constitute a breach of any of LIMCO’s representations or warranties,
and (b) the obligation to prepare and implement the Local Hiring Program shall be assumed by the Company at Closing.

extent that any of the Pre-Closing Agreements permit termination by LIMCO prior to the Closing Date without any cost or liability

	INITIALS OF LEWIS










 


8.3         Certain
Property Disclosures. With respect to all of the following matters in this Section 8.3 and without limitation on any
other provisions of this Agreement, Lewis has evaluated such matters prior to the Effective Date in accordance with the provisions
of Section 4. Lewis shall assume all responsibility for such matters and shall not seek any payment or other action from
LIMCO (and LIMCO shall have no obligation) with respect to such matters; such matters have already been taken into account in
calculation of the LIMCO Contribution Value; and such matters shall not be deemed to expand in any manner the limited representations
and warranties of LIMCO contained herein.


 


8.3.1           LIMCO
has informed Lewis and Lewis acknowledges that there is a Native American cultural site located on the Project Real Property in
the area designated as “Undeveloped Open Space” on the Subdivision Map, and that such area is required to remain as
open space. Lewis acknowledges that the location of such Native American burial ground previously disclosed to Lewis may not be
exact.


 


8.3.2           LIMCO
has informed Lewis and Lewis acknowledges that there is a setback requirement along the Western boundary of the Land adjacent to
the Santa Paula Creek Channel in which construction is restricted that ranges from 160' to 250'.


 




    	 	31	 



     


    

 


8.3.3           LIMCO’s
Environmental Inquiry. LIMCO has informed Lewis and Lewis acknowledges that the sole inquiry and investigation LIMCO has conducted
in connection with the environmental condition of the Property on or after the Effective Date is to obtain the Environmental Reports,
and that, for all purposes, including California Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7, LIMCO has acted reasonably in solely
relying upon said inquiry and investigation. The foregoing shall not limit the terms of Section 7.1.2(f).


 


8.3.4           Natural
Hazard Disclosure Statement Requirement Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.3.4 below,
Lewis hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives its right to disclosure of natural hazards found in the Natural Hazard
Disclosure Statement Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4, and 51183.5, California Public Resources Code
Sections 2621.9, 2694, and 4136, and California Civil Code Section 1102.6c(d), and any successor statutes or laws (the
“Act”). This waiver is a material inducement to LIMCO’s decision to enter into this Agreement and the
calculation of the LIMCO Contribution Value. Lewis acknowledges that LIMCO would not have entered into this Agreement but for this
waiver. Lewis acknowledges that prior to the Effective Date, Lewis received the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statements (collectively,
“Natural Hazard Disclosure Statements”) and that Lewis shall have executed and delivered to LIMCO the acknowledgement
contained in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement at or prior to Closing. Lewis acknowledges that the Natural Hazard Disclosure
Statement was delivered pursuant to the Act. Lewis acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in the Natural Hazard Disclosure
Statement shall release Lewis from its obligation to fully investigate the condition of the Property, including without limitation
whether the Property is located in any natural hazard areas, and that Lewis will have the opportunity to engage a consultant that
has the expertise to perform such investigations. LIMCO does not warrant or represent either the accuracy or completeness of the
information in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement, and Lewis shall use same merely as a part in its overall investigation
of the Property. Lewis further acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement may
change on or prior to the Closing, that the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement has been prepared by a third party and that neither
LIMCO nor the third-party preparer has an obligation to update, modify or supplement the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement.


 


8.4           Survival.
This Section 8 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the Closing indefinitely.


 


9.           Termination
and Certain Remedies.


 


9.1           Failure
of Condition Benefiting Lewis; Default by LIMCO. If the transactions herein provided shall not close by reason of the failure
of satisfaction of any conditions benefiting Lewis under Section 4 or the termination of this agreement in accordance with
Section 6, then no party shall have any further obligation or liability under this Agreement (other than those obligations
that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement); provided, however, that if the transactions herein provided shall not
close for any reason other than Lewis’s default under this Agreement, then Lewis shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive
remedy for such default, (a) to terminate this Agreement, and (b) obtain a return of the Initial Deposit from LIMCO
within ten (10) days after the termination of the Agreement and the Second Deposit (to the extent Lewis has made the Second Deposit)
from the Title Company immediately unless the transactions hereunder shall not close by reason of LIMCO’s default under
this Agreement, in which event Lewis shall also be entitled to receive from LIMCO Lewis’s reasonable third-party out-of-pocket
expenses reasonably incurred by Lewis in connection with the Project Property, including legal fees, to a maximum of Three Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($300,000) and no party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other hereunder. This section does
not limit Lewis’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.1 or to recover damages for LIMCO’s breach
of the confidentiality restrictions set forth in Section 10.14.


 




    	 	32	 



     


    

 


9.2           CONDITION
BENEFITING LIMCO; DEFAULT BY LEWIS. IF THE TRANSACTIONS HEREIN PROVIDED SHALL NOT CLOSE BY REASON OF THE FAILURE OF SATISFACTION
OF ANY CONDITIONS BENEFITTING LIMCO OR LEWIS UNDER SECTION 4, THEN NO PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN THOSE OBLIGATIONS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT); PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
THAT IF THE TRANSACTIONS HEREIN PROVIDED SHALL NOT CLOSE ON ACCOUNT OF LEWIS’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN THIS AGREEMENT
SHALL AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE AND LIMCO SHALL RETAIN THE INITIAL DEPOSIT AS FULL COMPENSATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT FOR SUCH FAILURE TO CLOSE. IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT LIMCO WILL INCUR EXPENSES IN
CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THE PROJECT PROPERTY WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET;
FURTHER, THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF DETRIMENT TO LIMCO CAUSED BY THE DEFAULT
BY LEWIS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FAILURE OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AMOUNT
OF COMPENSATION LIMCO SHOULD RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF LEWIS’S DEFAULT. IN THE EVENT THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS
AGREEMENT DO NOT OCCUR ON ACCOUNT OF LEWIS’S DEFAULT, THEN THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RETENTION OF THE INITIAL
DEPOSIT SHALL BE LIMCO’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY REASON OF SUCH DEFAULT, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THIS SECTION 9.2) THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE
FOREGOING, THIS SECTION SHALL NOT LIMIT LIMCO’S RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.3 OR 10.1 OR TO RECOVER
DAMAGES FOR LEWIS’S BREACH OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10.14 OR ITS ATTORNEYS’ FEES
UNDER SECTION 10.10.

fees and disbursements incurred in connection therewith and in any appeal or enforcement proceeding thereafter, including any bankruptcy

and Percentage Interest of each Member as of the Effective Date are set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto. Upon the

Interests of the Members.


 


2.2          Member
Funding Prior to Obtaining Project Loan.


 


(a)          Initial
Capital Contributions. Solely for federal and California state income tax purposes, as a result of the Assignment Agreement,
(i) Lewis is treated as purchasing an undivided fifty percent (50%) interest in the Property and the Company's other assets
from Limoneira, and (ii) each of Limoneira and Lewis is treated immediately thereafter as contributing an undivided fifty
percent (50%) interest in the Property and each such other asset to the Company in exchange for such Member's Membership Interest.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Member has actually acquired title to the Property or any other asset of the Company under
California state law or otherwise. The Members acknowledge and agree that the fair market value of the Property is equal to $40,000,000.
As a result of the transactions described above in this Section 2.2(a), (A) the balance standing in Limoneira's
Capital Account and Unreturned Initial Contribution Balance has been credited on the Effective Date by $20,000,000; and (B) the
balance standing in Lewis' Capital Account and Unreturned Initial Contribution Balance has been credited on the Effective Date
by $20,000,000. Neither the Capital Account nor the Unreturned Initial Contribution Balance of Limoneira shall be credited as a
result of the conveyance of the Retained Property to the Company.


 


(b)          Limoneira
Pre-Assignment Expenses. The parties acknowledge and agree that prior to the Effective Date, Limoneira and/or its Affiliates
paid third-party expenses in connection with the Project described on Schedule 2.2(b) attached hereto in the amount
of ________________ Dollars ($__________) (the "Limoneira Pre-Assignment Expenses"). The Limoneira Pre-Assignment
Expenses shall be treated as Approved Project Costs. Each of the Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance
of Limoneira shall be credited with the amount of the Limoneira Pre-Assignment Expenses as of the Effective Date. As of the Effective
Date, the balance standing in Limoneira's Capital Account is equal to the amount set forth opposite such Member's name on Exhibit B
under the column labeled "Capital Account." Note: As of the execution of the Contribution Agreement, the Limoneira
Pre-Assignment Expenses are as identified on Schedule 2.2(b). Schedule 2.2(b) will be (i) updated and replaced prior to the Closing
under the Contribution Agreement to include any additional Limoneira Pre-Assignment Expenses incurred after that CA Effective Date
in accordance with the Approved Business Plan and Approved Budget or otherwise approved by Lewis, and (ii) reduced by an amount
reasonably determined by the Executive Committee to reflect the Retained Property’s allocable share of those costs, and of
the Lewis Pre-Assignment Expenses (if any), that benefitted the Retained Property and that were not reimbursed by Limoneira.


 




    -4-


     


    

 


(c)          Lewis
Pre-Assignment Expenses. The parties acknowledge and agree that prior to the Effective Date, Lewis and/or its Affiliates (i)
paid third-party expenses in connection with the Project described on Schedule 2.2(c) attached hereto, and (ii) incurred
reimbursable expenses, after the execution of the Contribution Agreement, of the type described in Section 6.8(a) and itemized
on Schedule 2.2(c), in the aggregate amount of ________________ Dollars ($__________) (the "Lewis Pre-Assignment
Expenses"). Each of the Capital Account and the Unreturned Additional Account Balance of Lewis shall be credited with
the amount of the Lewis Pre-Assignment Expenses as of the Effective Date. As of the Effective Date, the balance standing in Lewis'
Capital Account is equal to the amount set forth opposite such Member's name on Exhibit B under the column labeled
"Capital Account." Note: As of the execution of the Contribution Agreement, the Lewis Pre-Assignment Expenses are
as identified on Schedule 2.2(c). Schedule 2.2(c) will be updated and replaced prior to the Closing under the Contribution Agreement
to include any additional Lewis Pre-Assignment Expenses incurred after that CA Effective Date in accordance with the Approved Business
Plan and Approved Budget or otherwise approved by Limoneira.


 


(d)          Pre-Financing
Contributions.


 


(i)          If
the Company has insufficient funds to pay any Approved Project Costs (the "Shortfall"), then Lewis shall be required
to make Capital Contributions to the Company to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the Company to satisfy such Shortfall
until the earlier of (i) the Capital Balancing Date, or (ii) the date the initial Project Loan closes. The term "Capital
Balancing Date" means the date upon which the sum of (A) the Lewis Pre-Assignment Expenses, and (B) the additional
Capital Contributions made by Lewis pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) equal the amount of the Limoneira Pre-Assignment
Expenses.


 


(ii)         If
the initial Project Loan has not closed prior to the Capital Balancing Date, then each Member shall be required, after the Capital
Balancing Date, to contribute fifty percent (50%) of all Capital Contributions required to enable the Company to satisfy any Shortfall
until the earlier of (1) the date the aggregate amount contributed by such Member pursuant to this sentence equals Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), or (2) the closing of the initial Project Loan.


 


(iii)        After
the aggregate Capital Contributions made by Limoneira pursuant to Section 2.2(d)(ii) equal Two Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), the Manager shall send a notice to Limoneira that such Capital Contributions have been made. Within
ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice, Limoneira shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make an initial
election to contribute fifty percent (50%) of all Capital Contributions that are required by the Company for the next 12-month
period to satisfy any Shortfall, and then shall have that same right, on each anniversary of that first election notice and after
notice from the Manager, to make the election for the next 12-month period, all until the date that the initial Project Loan closes
by delivering written notice of each such election to Lewis. If Limoneira timely elects to contribute fifty percent (50%) of such
Capital Contributions for a 12-month period, then all Capital Contributions required for such 12-month period by the Company to
satisfy any Shortfall shall be funded by the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. If Limoneira does not timely
elect to contribute fifty percent (50%) of Capital Contributions for any 12-month period, then Lewis shall contribute all additional
Capital Contributions required to satisfy any Shortfall for such 12-month period (or, if earlier, until the initial Project Loan
closes).


 




    -5-


     


    

 


(iv)        Any
Capital Contribution that a Member contributes pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) is referred to as a ("Pre-Financing
Contribution"). The Manager shall promptly notify the Executive Committee of any Shortfalls. The Executive Committee shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to approve each such capital call before any Member will be obligated to make any additional
Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) provided any capital call made to enable the Company
to pay any “Budgeted Capital Call” or “Emergency Expense” (each as defined in Section 2.3) shall be deemed
automatically approved by the Executive Committee on the date the Executive Committee receives notice of such capital call. The
Manager shall send approved requests for Pre-Financing Contributions to all Members, regardless of whether a Member is required
to fund any such Capital Contribution. Any Capital Contribution that a Member is required to make under this Section 2.2(d)
shall be made on the date requested by the Manager provided each Member shall have at least ten (10) Business Days' notice
before it is required to make any such Capital Contributions. Each Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Contribution
Balance shall be credited by any Capital Contribution made by such Member pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) on the date
such contribution is made.


 


(e)          Balancing
Contribution. If, on the earlier of the date the initial Project Loan closes or the dissolution of the Company, Limoneira or
Lewis has not received distributions pursuant to Section 4.2 sufficient to reduce such Member's Unreturned Additional
Contribution Balance to zero (0), then the Member (if any) whose Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance is less than the
other Member's Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance shall be obligated within ten (10) days thereafter to make a Capital
Contribution to the Company equal to fifty percent (50%) of such excess amount (the "Balancing Contribution").
The contributing Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance shall each be credited by any Capital
Contribution made by such Member pursuant to this Section 2.2(e) on the date such contribution is made. The Capital
Contribution made by the contributing Member under this Section 2.2(e) shall be promptly distributed by the Company
to the other Member pursuant to Section 4.2(c) (and shall reduce the non-contributing Member's Capital Account and
Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance) on the date such distribution is made.


 


(f)          Project
Loan Contributions. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 2.2(d), if the Executive Committee approves a Project
Loan, the terms of which require the Members to contribute additional capital to the Company (such amount, a "Project Loan
Capital Shortfall"), then each Member shall be responsible for contributing to the Company, within five (5) Business
Days (or such later date designated by the Executive Committee) after receiving notice from the Manager of the Project Loan Capital
Shortfall, such Member's Percentage Interest of the amount of such Project Loan Capital Shortfall. Each Member's Capital Account
and Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance shall be credited by any Capital Contribution made by such Member pursuant to this
Section 2.2(f) on the date such contribution is made.


 




    -6-


     


    

 


2.3          Member
Funding After Obtaining Project Loan.


 


If the Company has
a Shortfall that is not otherwise required to be funded by either Member pursuant to Section 2.2(d), Section 2.2(e),
Section 2.2(f) or Section 2.6, then the Manager shall promptly notify the Executive Committee of such Shortfall.
The Executive Committee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to approve each such capital call before any Member will
be obligated to make any additional Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.3 provided any capital
call made to enable the Company to pay any Budgeted Capital Call or Emergency Expense shall be deemed automatically approved by
the Executive Committee on the date the Executive Committee receives notice of such capital call. The term "Emergency Expense"
means an expense that is necessary (i) to prevent an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual in
the immediate vicinity of the Property, (ii) to prevent immediate damage or loss to any portion of the Property, (iii) to
prevent the immediate loss of value to the Property by the incurrence of any liability to the Company or otherwise, (iv) to
avoid the suspension of any necessary service in or to any portion of the Property, (v) to avoid criminal or civil liability
on the part of the Company and/or any of the Members or the direct and/or indirect owners thereof with respect to activities at
the Property or pursuant to this Agreement, or (vi) to prevent any default under any agreement to which the Company is a party,
including, without limitation, any loan documents evidencing, securing or relating to any loan made to the Company. The term "Budgeted
Capital Call" means an Approved Project Cost which the Executive Committee previously agreed in the Approved Budget or
by vote of the Executive Committee to fund by Capital Contributions.


 


Upon the approval of
any capital call by the Executive Committee pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Manager shall deliver written notice
to the Members (a "Funding Notice"). The Funding Notice shall specify (A) the amount of funding required
(such amount, the "Called Funds"); and (B) the date the Called Funds shall be contributed to the Company,
which date (the "Funding Date") shall be not earlier than (1) fifteen (15) days following the date of
the Funding Notice if the Called Funds are not required for an Emergency Expense, or (2) three (3) Business Days following
the date of the Funding Notice if the Called Funds are required for an Emergency Expense.


 


If the Executive Committee
reasonably determines that the Company will have sufficient funds from a draw under a Project Loan or from other sources to return
the Called Funds within six (6) months after the date such funds are advanced, then the Called Funds shall be funded by the
Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the form of a loan to the Company (each such loan, a "Member
Loan"), and not as a capital contribution. If the Company does not repay any such Member Loan within such six (6)-month
period, then the balance owing under such Member Loan (both accrued and unpaid interest and unreturned principal) shall be deemed
to have been contributed to the capital of the Company by the Member that made such Member Loan (on the due date of such Member
Loan) (and such Member Loan shall be deemed to have been fully paid by the Company). If the Executive Committee determines that
the Company will not have sufficient funds to return the Called Funds within such six (6)-month period, then the Called Funds
shall be funded by Capital Contributions to be made by the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Each
Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance shall be credited by any Capital Contribution made (or
deemed made) by such Member pursuant to this Section 2.3 on the date such contribution is made (or deemed made).


 




    -7-


     


    

 


2.4          Member
Loans.


 


All Member Loans shall
bear interest at the greater of (i) seven and 5/10ths percent (7.5%) per annum, or (ii) the Prime Rate plus two hundred
(200) basis points, with such interest under clause (i) or clause (ii) compounded monthly. In addition, each Member Loan
shall be (A) due and payable in six (6) months from the date advanced, (B) fully recourse to the Company and its
assets, but nonrecourse as to each Member and its assets, (C) repayable at any time in whole or in part without penalty, and
(D) evidenced by a promissory note executed by the Executive Committee or by such Representative(s) of the Executive Committee
as designated by the Executive Committee on behalf of the Company, which shall contain such terms and conditions as are commercially
reasonable or as may be agreed to by the lending Member and the Executive Committee. The repayment of any and all Member Loans
shall be subordinate to the payment of any fees or other reimbursements required to be made by the Company pursuant to Sections 6.8,
but shall be made prior to the distribution of any Cash Flow and/or liquidation proceeds to the Members. Accordingly, subject to
the payment of any fees and/or reimbursements required to be made under Sections 6.8, but notwithstanding the provisions
of Sections 4.1 and 9.2(b), until any and all Member Loans are repaid in full, the Members shall receive no
further distributions from the Company (except for any such fees and/or reimbursements), and all cash or property otherwise distributable
to the Members (except for any such fees and/or reimbursements) shall be paid to the advancing Member(s) as a reduction of the
outstanding balances of such Member Loans, with such funds being applied first to reduce any interest accrued thereon, and then
to reduce the principal amount of such loans.


 


2.5          Failure
to Fund.


 


The following provisions
shall apply if any Member fails to fund in full when due its Funding Percentage of either a Capital Contribution required under
Sections 2.2(d), (e), (f) or Section 2.3, or a Member Loan required under Section 2.3.
A Member's "Funding Percentage" with respect to a required funding under Sections 2.2(d), (e),
(f) or Section 2.3 means the percentage of each funding that such Member is required to contribute (so that,
for example, Lewis' Funding Percentage under Section 2.2(d)(i) prior to the earlier of the Capital Balancing Date or
the date the initial Project Loan closes is 100%, but its Funding Percentage under Section 2.3 is 50%).


 


(a)          Delinquency.
If any Member (a "Delinquent Member") fails to fund in full when due its Funding Percentage of either a Capital
Contribution required under Sections 2.2(d), (e), (f) or Section 2.3, or a Member Loan required
under Section 2.3 and 2.4, and if the other Member (the "Non-Delinquent Member") has fulfilled
its required funding obligation (if any), with respect to that particular capital call then (i) the Delinquent Member's funding
shortfall shall be referred to as the "Deficit Amount"; and (ii) any amount funded by the Non-Delinquent
Member with respect to that particular Funding Notice shall be held by the Company in trust for the benefit of the Non-Delinquent
Member until the earlier of (A) the expiration of the period during which the Non-Delinquent Member can elect either remedy
pursuant to Section 2.5(b); and (B) the date the Delinquent Member cures its failure to fund in accordance with
Section 2.5(c).


 




    -8-


     


    

 


(b)          Default
Remedies. If the Delinquent Member fails to fund its entire Deficit Amount prior to the expiration of the Funding Cure Period
(as defined in Section 2.5(c) below) (the "Capital Default"), then the Non-Delinquent Member shall
have the right, but not the obligation, within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Funding Cure Period, to elect,
by written notice to the Manager and the Delinquent Member:


 


(i)          to
cancel the applicable Capital Contributions or Member Loans, in which event all amounts funded by the Members with respect to such
Capital Contributions or Member Loans shall be promptly refunded to each of them;


 


(ii)         to
recover the Non-Delinquent Member's Excess Funding Amount and reduce the amount of the required Capital Contribution or Member
Loan to an amount equal to the sum of the amounts actually funded by the Members minus the Excess Funding Amount. The term "Excess
Funding Amount" means the positive difference, if any of (i) the aggregate amount funded by the Non-Delinquent Member,
minus (ii) the excess of (a) the quotient of the amount (if any) funded by the Delinquent Member divided by the Delinquent
Member's Funding Percentage minus (b) the amount (if any) funded by the Delinquent Member. As an example, but without limitation
on the foregoing, assume that Lewis' Funding Percentage is 25%, Limoneira's Funding Percentage is 75%, there is a Funding Notice
for $100 of Called Funds, Lewis funds $10 and Limoneira funds $75. In such case: (1) the Excess Funding Amount is $45, i.e.,
$75 – [($10/0.25) - $10], (2) Lewis would be treated as funding $10, and (3) Limoneira would be treated as funding
$30, i.e., its $75 initial funding minus the $45 refund of the Excess Funding Amount.


 


(iii)        to
advance the entire Deficit Amount as a Default Loan to the Delinquent Member. As of the effective date of the advance of any Default
Loan, the Delinquent Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance shall be increased by an amount equal
to the original principal balance of the Default Loan advanced to such Delinquent Member. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.1,
4.2 and 9.2(b)(ii), until any and all Default Loans advanced to the Delinquent Member are repaid in full, the Delinquent
Member shall receive no further distributions or other amounts from the Company, and all cash or property otherwise distributable
with respect to the Delinquent Member's Membership Interest in the Company (including, without limitation, any reimbursements under
Section 6.8) shall be distributed to the Non-Delinquent Member. Any such amounts distributed to the Non-Delinquent
Member shall be applied to repay all outstanding Default Loans made to the Delinquent Member on a last in, first out (LIFO) basis,
with such funds being applied first to reduce any and all interest accrued on such Default Loan(s) and then to reduce the principal
amount thereof. Any amounts so applied shall be treated, for all purposes under this Agreement, as having actually been distributed
or paid to the Delinquent Member pursuant to Sections 4.1, 4.2, 6.8 or 9.2(b) and applied by the
Delinquent Member to repay such outstanding Default Loan(s). Any Member that has received a Default Loan shall be treated as a
Delinquent Member until such Default Loan is paid in full.

(c)          Cure
Rights. For a period of thirty (30) days from the due date of a Capital Contribution or Member Loan, as applicable (such
period, the "Funding Cure Period"), the Delinquent Member shall have the right to cure its failure to fully fund
the Deficit Amount by making a payment to the Company in an amount equal to the Deficit Amount. The Delinquent Member's payment
shall be treated as a Capital Contribution or Member Loan, as applicable, as of the date that the Company receives the payment
and any such Capital Contribution shall be credited to the Delinquent Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Contribution
Balance on the date such contribution is made.


 


(d)          Loss
of Voting Rights. If the outstanding balance of any and all Default Loans made to the Delinquent Member equal or exceed Three
Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000), then, regardless of any remedy that may be selected by the Non-Delinquent Member
(and notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement), (i) the Delinquent Member's Representatives shall not be entitled
to serve on the Executive Committee and its Representatives shall not be entitled to otherwise vote upon any matters under this
Agreement (exclusive of any Fundamental Decision), (ii) the management of the business and affairs of the Company shall be
vested solely in the Representatives of the Non-Delinquent Member, (iii) the rights of the Delinquent Member shall be limited
solely to those of an assignee that is not admitted as a substituted member in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3
(i.e., sharing in any allocations and/or distributions of Profits, Losses (and items thereof) and Net Cash Flow and liquidating
distributions to which such Member is entitled to receive under this Agreement), and (iv) the Delinquent Member shall not
have any authority to act for or bind the Company. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Members acknowledge that the loss of voting
and approval rights provided for in this Section 2.5(d) shall only apply during such time period that the outstanding
amount owed on any and all Default Loans to the Delinquent Member equal or exceed Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,500,000).


 


The term "Fundamental
Decision" means (A) the admission of a new member into the Company (other than as specifically authorized under Section 8),
(B) the formation of any Company Entity, or, with respect to any Company Entity, any merger, consolidation, or other similar
arrangement, or the entry into of any joint venture, partnership, limited liability company, or other entity or business combination,
(C) the lending of Company Entity funds to, or directly or indirectly providing any Credit Enhancement for, any Person, (D) the
acquisition of any real property by the Company or any Company Entity, except as provided in the Approved Business Plan last approved
by the Delinquent Member, (E) the entering into by the Company of any transaction with any Member or any Affiliate of any
Member, except on terms and conditions generally available from third-parties providing similar goods and services of similar quality
in the same geographical location as the Project, (F) any amendment of this Agreement that would materially and adversely
affect the Delinquent Member disproportionately to the Non-Delinquent Member, (G) any act or omission that would cause the Delinquent
Member or its Affiliates to have any liability under a Recourse Document, other than acts in the ordinary course of the business
of the Company and consistent with the Approved Business Plan last approved by the Delinquent Member (for example, making draws
under a Project Loan or providing guaranties required to obtain subdivision improvement bonds), and (H) a sale of the Project,
except as contemplated in the Approved Business Plan last approved by the Delinquent Member.


 




    -10-


     


    

 


(e)          Exclusive
Remedies. The remedies set forth in Sections 2.3(b) and 2.3(d) are the sole and exclusive remedies for a Member’s failure
to make a required Capital Contribution or Member Loan.


 


2.6          Cost
Overrun Provisions.


 


(a)          Definitions.


 


(i)          "Base
Budget" means, as of a particular date, the Approved Budget last approved in accordance with this Agreement prior to commencement
of the construction of the Project (which commencement will be deemed to have occurred no later than the date any third party is
instructed to proceed with its work under its construction contract), as the same may have been modified only to reflect (i) a
discretionary increase in scope that was approved by the Executive Committee in a writing that expressly specifies that such increase
in scope shall be a basis for an adjustment to the Base Budget, (ii) a reduction in scope that was approved by the Executive
Committee, or (iii) additional costs that were approved by the Executive Committee in a writing that expressly specifies such
additional costs as a basis for an adjustment to the Base Budget (it being understood that the Executive Committee shall not have
any obligation to so approve an adjustment to the Base Budget in connection with any such additional costs, and that reallocations
among line items by reason of the transfer of cost savings pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(i) shall not constitute modifications
to the Base Budget). For avoidance of doubt, (a) the Base Budget shall be used by the Members solely for purposes of determining
Controllable Cost Overruns (i.e., it is the baseline budget against which actual expenditures are compared for such purpose) and
permitting the specification of sources of funds therefor, and (b) the Approved Budget may be modified in accordance with
this Agreement (for example and without limitation, if the Executive Committee approves a revision to the Approved Budget in connection
with a change order in respect of additional costs) but no such modification to the Approved Budget shall affect the Base Budget
except as expressly provided above.


 


(ii)         "Controllable
Cost Overrun" means (A) a Line Item Overrun, or (B) any cost not covered by a line item (other than the contingency
line item) in the Base Budget, in each case that was caused by an act or omission of Lewis (or an Affiliate of Lewis) that constitutes
Bad Conduct.


 


(iii)        "Line
Item Overrun" means, as of a particular date for a particular line item of the Base Budget, the amount, if any, by which
(x) the costs for such line item actually incurred by the Company on or before such date exceeds (y) the dollar amount
of such line item in the Base Budget.


 


(b)          Controllable
Cost Overruns.


 


(i)          If
a Controllable Cost Overrun occurs at any time, it shall be paid one hundred percent (100%) by Lewis. If Lewis fails to pay a Controllable
Cost Overrun within ten (10) Business Days of written notice from Limoneira, then Lewis shall be in breach of this Agreement and,
without limitation on any other remedies, Limoneira shall have the right to reduce and offset distributions, reimbursements and
other payments otherwise required to be paid by the Company to Lewis.


 




    -11-


     


    

 


(ii)         The
parties acknowledge that Controllable Cost Overruns may be computed upon the completion of the work described in the applicable
line items or completion of the Project as a whole or as construction progresses, at the election of Limoneira, and (without limitation
on the foregoing) Limoneira's failure to require payment of a Controllable Cost Overrun as construction progresses shall not constitute
a waiver of Lewis' obligation to pay such Controllable Cost Overrun.


 


(iii)        Lewis
shall pay all Controllable Cost Overruns under Section 2.6(b)(i) above in its individual capacity and not in its capacity
as a member of the Company, and such payments shall not be deemed a Capital Contribution or loan by Lewis to the Company, shall
not increase Lewis' Capital Account or Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance, and shall not entitle Lewis to the recoupment
or payment of any interest, charge or other credit or consideration in respect thereof.


 


(iv)        As
the final costs of construction with respect to each Base Budget line item are determined, the same shall be added to a schedule
maintained by Manager during the construction process (the "Final Cost Schedule") showing the actual project cost
("Actual Project Cost") in the same format (i.e., with the same line item categories) as the Base Budget. The
Final Cost Schedule shall be supported by appropriate bills and receipts and such other material as may be in the possession of
Manager as verification of Actual Project Cost.


 


2.7          Contribution
of Water Rights.


 


Upon not less than
thirty (30) days' prior written notice from the Manager, Limoneira shall cause LIMCO, to transfer to the Company sufficient groundwater
production and/or water rights to the City to allow the Company to satisfy the requirements of Section 3.2.2 of that certain
First Amended and Restated Development Agreement entered into by and between the City of Santa Paula and LIMCO, dated as of February 26,
2015 (as such agreement may be further amended and/or restated from time to time), and any other groundwater production and/or
water rights required by the City or other governmental agency in connection with existing or future entitlements for the Project.
Limoneira shall not be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution or otherwise receive credit to its Capital Account or Unreturned
Additional Contribution Balance as a result of such transfer, and neither Limoneira nor LIMCO shall be entitled to the recoupment
or payment of any interest, charge or other credit or consideration as a result of such transfer.


 


2.8          Limitations
Pertaining to Capital Contributions.


 


(a)          Return
of Capital. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall withdraw any Capital Contributions or any money
or other property from the Company without the written consent of the other Member. Under circumstances requiring a return of any
Capital Contributions, no Member shall have the right to receive property other than cash, unless otherwise specifically provided
for in this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing by all of the Members at the time of such distribution.


 




    -12-


     


    

 


(b)          No
Interest or Salary. No Member shall receive any interest, salary, or draws with respect to its Capital Contributions or its
Capital Account or for services rendered on behalf of the Company or otherwise in its capacity as a Member, except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement.


 


(c)          Liability
of Members. Except as expressly agreed upon in any writing signed by the party to be bound thereby (including this Agreement
and each Recourse Document described in Section 3.2), no Member or Representative shall be liable for the debts, liabilities,
contracts, or any other obligations of the Company. Except as set forth herein or as approved by the Executive Committee, and except
as otherwise provided by the Act or by any other applicable state law, no Member shall (i) be obligated to make a Capital
Contribution or Member Loan or otherwise provide funding to the Company; (ii) have any personal liability for the repayment
of the Capital Contributions or loans of any other Member to the Company; or (iii) have any obligation to restore or repay
to the Company any negative balance standing at any time in such Member's Capital Account.


 


(d)          No
Third Party Rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended or will be deemed to benefit any creditor of the Company
or other third party, and no creditor of the Company or other third party will be entitled to require any Member to solicit or
demand Capital Contributions or Member Loans from any Member. A Member's obligation to make a Capital Contribution or Member Loan
cannot be assigned to any other Person without the prior written consent of other Member.


 


SECTION 3.

PROJECT LOANS


 


3.1          Terms
of the Project Loan.


 


The Members shall use
their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to obtain the initial Project Loan from one (1) or more institutional
third-party lenders ("Project Lender") to finance the entitlement and development of the Project on commercially
reasonable terms and conditions and on the best terms otherwise available to the Company. Any Project Loan shall be on terms and
conditions approved by the Executive Committee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.


 


At least sixty (60)
days prior to the anticipated funding of the initial Project Loan (as reasonably determined by the Manager), the Manager shall
present to the Executive Committee for its approval the most favorable initial Project Loan that Manager believes is available
to the Company as of such date (the "Proposed Initial Loan"). If Limoneira's Representatives do not approve the
Proposed Initial Loan and Lewis' Representatives approve the Proposed Initial Loan, then Limoneira shall have ninety (90)
days following the date the Manager presented the Proposed Initial Loan to the Executive Committee to obtain an alternative Project
Loan that the Limoneira Representatives approve (the "Alternative Initial Loan") provided such loan is on terms
and conditions at least as favorable to the Company and Lewis as the terms of the Proposed Initial Loan. If Limoneira is not able
to obtain an Alternative Initial Loan prior to the expiration of such ninety (90)-day period, then Limoneira shall be required
either (i) to consent to and approve the Proposed Initial Loan (and use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause the Company
to close the Proposed Initial Loan), or (ii) to contribute to the capital of the Company within ten (10) days following
the expiration of the ninety (90)-day period above the Balancing Contribution described in Section 2.2(e) (even though
the Company will not yet have closed the initial Project Loan).


 




    -13-


     


    

 


If Limoneira's Representatives
approve the Proposed Initial Loan and Lewis' Representatives do not approve the Proposed Initial Loan, then Limoneira, shall have
the right, but not the obligation, for a period of sixty (60) days following the date the Manager presented the Proposed Initial
Loan to the Executive Committee, as its sole right and remedy available at law and/or in equity (or otherwise), to elect by delivering
written notice to Lewis to purchase the entire Membership Interest of Lewis for an amount equal to the sum of Lewis' Unreturned
Initial Contribution Balance and Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance, together with a return thereon calculated like simple
interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) two hundred (200) basis points in excess of the Prime Rate, or (ii) eight
percent (8%) per annum. The closing date for the purchase of Lewis' Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 3.1
shall be within thirty (30) days following Limoneira's delivery of the purchase notice. The terms and conditions of Section 6.9(c)(iii),
(iv), (v), (vi) and (viii) shall apply to any purchase of Lewis' Membership Interest pursuant to this
Section 3.1 (and any references in such Sections to the Triggering Member shall refer to Lewis and any references to
the Non-Triggering Member shall refer to Limoneira); provided, however, if the terms of this Section 3.1 conflict with
the terms of Section 6.9(c)(iii), (iv), (v), (vi), or (viii), then the terms of this Section 3.1
shall control.


 


3.2          Credit
Enhancements.


 


It is the objective
of the Members that each Project Loan shall be without recourse to the Members and their Affiliates; provided, however, if a Project
Loan may only be obtained with the execution and delivery of one (1) or more cost overrun guarantees, repayment guarantees,
completion guarantees, environmental indemnities and/or other guarantees, indemnities, documents or other agreements (collectively,
the "Recourse Documents"), then each Member hereby agrees to cause one (1) or more of its Affiliates to provide
such Recourse Documents required by the applicable Project Lender provided the terms and conditions of any such repayment or completion
guaranty that is required to be executed by any such party are not materially less favorable than the terms and conditions set
forth in the form guarantees from US Bank, Union Bank, and Wells Fargo Bank provided by Lewis to Limoneira on August 24, 2015.
Each Member further hereby agrees to provide (and cause one (1) or more of its Affiliates) to provide any Recourse Document
required to be executed as a condition to obtain any subdivision improvement or maintenance bond required for the development of
the Project or any title policy for the Company or any Project Lender. Any such party that executes and delivers any Recourse Document
is referred to individually as a "Guarantor" and collectively as the "Guarantors." Notwithstanding
any other term of this Agreement (or any fiduciary or other duties that any Member may have), each Member shall have the right
to withhold its approval of any Major Decision or other matter that would result in any Guarantor incurring any liability under
any Recourse Document.


 




    -14-


     


    

 


The Company hereby
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each Guarantor wholly harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, deficiencies, demands, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, awards, assessments, interest, fines, penalties, costs,
and expenses of all investigations, proceedings, judgments, orders, and settlements including, but not limited to, fees and expenses
of attorneys, accountants and other experts incurred in connection with the settlement or defense of any Action (collectively,
"Damages") incurred by such Guarantor that arises out of or relates to any Recourse Document to the extent provided
in Section 10.3(b).


 


The Guarantors will
enter into a Reimbursement Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D (the "Reimbursement Agreement"),
which will provide that if the Company does not satisfy its indemnity and other obligations described in Section 10.3(b),
then the Guarantors will generally reimburse each other in such amounts as are necessary to cause the total liability that is incurred
by all of the Guarantors (for which they are entitled to be indemnified under Section 10.3(b) below) to be borne fifty
percent (50%) by the Guarantors affiliated with Lewis (the "Lewis Guarantors") and fifty percent (50%) by the
Guarantors affiliated with Limoneira (the "Limoneira Guarantors"). The Lewis Guarantors and Limoneira Guarantors
will also each be liable for fifty percent (50%) of any liability incurred by LIMCO (for which LIMCO is entitled to be indemnified
under Section 10.3(b) below) under any contracts assumed by the Company for which LIMCO is unable to obtain a release
to the extent the Company fails to satisfy its indemnity obligations described in Section 10.3(b). If there is any
inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement, then the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement
shall control.


 


SECTION 4.

DISTRIBUTIONS


 


4.1          Distributions
of Net Cash Flow.


 


Except as provided
in Sections 4.2 and 9.2(b), distributions of Net Cash Flow, if available, shall be distributed to the Members
on a quarterly basis (or at such more frequent intervals as the Executive Committee may determine) in amounts reasonably determined
by the Executive Committee, in the following order of priority:


 


(a)          First,
to the Members in proportion to their respective Additional Capital Contribution IRR Deficiencies (as defined on Exhibit E),
until each Member's Additional Capital Contribution IRR Deficiency is reduced to zero;


 


(b)          Second,
forty-eight percent (48%) to Limoneira and fifty-two percent (52%) to Lewis until Lewis' Initial Capital Contribution IRR Deficiency
(as defined on Exhibit E) is reduced to zero;


 


(c)          Third,
twenty-five percent (25%) to Limoneira and seventy-five percent (75%) to Lewis until the Company has made aggregate distributions
to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.1(c) in an amount equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000);


 


(d)          Fourth,
sixty percent (60%) to Limoneira and forty percent (40%) to Lewis until the Company has made aggregate distributions to the Members
pursuant to this Section 4.1(d) in an amount equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000);


 




    -15-


     


    

 


(e)          Fifth,
fifty percent (50%) to Limoneira and fifty percent (50%) to Lewis until the Company has made aggregate distributions to the Members
pursuant to this Section 4.1(e) in an amount equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000);


 


(f)          Sixth,
seventy-eight percent (78%) to Limoneira and twenty-two percent (22%) to Lewis until the Company has made aggregate distributions
to the Members pursuant to this Section 4.1(f) in an amount equal to Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000);


 


(g)          Seventh,
ninety-five percent (95%) to Limoneira and five percent (5%) to Lewis until the Company has made aggregate distributions to the
Members pursuant to this Section 4.1(g) in an amount equal to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000); and


 


(h)          Thereafter,
seventy percent (70%) to Limoneira and thirty percent (30%) to Lewis.


 


4.2          Other
Special Distributions.


 


(a)          Limoneira.
An amount equal to Limoneira's Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance shall be distributed by the Company to Limoneira from
the first disbursement that is made under the initial Project Loan. If there are insufficient funds available from the Initial
Project Loan to return Limoneira's entire Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance and all of the amounts that Lewis is entitled
to receive under Section 4.2(b), then the Company shall reimburse each such Member in proportion to the amount each
such Member is entitled to receive under this Section 4.2(a).


 


(b)          Lewis.
An amount equal to Lewis' Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance shall be distributed by the Company to Lewis from the first
disbursement that is made under the initial Project Loan. If there are insufficient funds available from the Initial Project Loan
to return Lewis' entire Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance and all of the amounts that Limoneira is entitled to receive
under Section 4.2(a), then the Company shall reimburse each such Member in proportion to the amount of the reimbursement
that each Member is entitled to receive from the Company under this Section 4.2(b).


 


(c)          Balancing
Distribution. If each of Limoneira and Lewis is not fully reimbursed by the Company for all of the amounts each such Member
is entitled to receive under Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b), as the case may be, on the date the initial Project
Loan closes, then the Member whose Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance is less than the Unreturned Additional Contribution
Balance of the other Member shall be required to make the Balancing Contribution to the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(e).
Any such amounts contributed by any Member pursuant to Section 2.2(e) shall be promptly distributed by the Company
to the other Member pursuant to this Section 4.2(c). Any such amounts distributed by the Company to any Member pursuant
to this Section 4.2(c) shall reduce such Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance on
the date such distribution is made.


 




    -16-


     


    

 


(d)          Retained
Property. The Retained Property shall be conveyed to Limoneira (or its designated Affiliate) as soon as possible following
the recordation of the Final Tract Map No. 5854 for the Property or other final tact map or parcel map that subdivides the Retained
Property as a legal parcel but, in all events, prior to obtaining a Project Loan and commencement of construction activity
on the Property. Such conveyance shall not reduce Limoneira's Capital Account or Unreturned Initial Contribution Balance. Limoneira
hereby agrees to reimburse the Company for any loss, expense, damage or liability incurred by the Company with respect to the Retained
Property, except to the extent caused by any acts or omissions of the Company or Lewis (or any Affiliates of Lewis) (and except
as otherwise set forth in that certain “Retained Property Development Agreement”, as defined in the Contribution Agreement).
Any payment made by Limoneira pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid by Limoneira in its individual capacity and not
in its capacity as a member of the Company and any such payment shall not be deemed a Capital Contribution or loan by Limoneira
to the Company, shall not increase Limoneira's Capital Account or Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance, and shall not entitle
Limoneira to the recoupment or payment of any interest, charge or other credit or consideration in respect thereof. Limoneira shall
also reimburse the Company for any cost incurred by the Company that benefits the Retained Property in accordance with the terms
of Exhibit F attached hereto.


 


4.3          Withholding.


 


The Company is authorized
with notice to the applicable Member to withhold and/or pay to the applicable tax authority from distributions under Sections 4.1
and 4.2 (including by reference thereto pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii)) if required to do so by any applicable
rule, regulation, or law any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Executive Committee determines in good faith
and after consultation with the Company's tax advisors, that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount
distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision
of any state, local or international tax law or treaty with respect to a distribution made to a Member under this Agreement will
be treated as an amount distributed to the Member pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 for all purposes of this Agreement.
All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state, local or international tax law treaty with respect to
an allocation will be offset against any future amounts otherwise distributable to such Member and, in the event such amount is
not offset against future amounts otherwise distributable to such Member at the time of and taking into account the liquidation
of the Company, then such Member shall be obligated to make a contribution to the Company equal to such amount. A Member's authorization
and obligations under this Section 4.3 will survive the dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of the Company.


 


SECTION 5.

TAX ALLOCATIONS


 


5.1          General
Allocation Rules.


 


(a)          General
Allocation Rule. For each taxable year of the Company, subject to the application of Section 5.2, Profits and Losses
shall be allocated to the Members in a manner that causes each Member's Adjusted Capital Account Balance to equal the amount that
would be distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii) upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Company in
accordance with Section 5.1(b).


 




    -17-


     


    

 


(b)          Hypothetical
Liquidation Defined. In determining the amounts distributable to the Members under Section 9.2(b)(ii) upon a hypothetical
liquidation, it shall be presumed that (i) all of the Company's assets are sold at their respective Book Value without further
adjustment, (ii) payments to any holder of a nonrecourse debt are limited to the Book Value of the assets securing repayment
of such debt, and (iii) the proceeds of such hypothetical sale are applied and distributed in accordance with Section 9.2(b)
(without retention of any reserves).


 


(c)          Item
Allocations. If the Executive Committee determines, upon consultation with the Company's tax advisors, that allocations of
Profits and Losses over the term of the Company are not likely to cause each Member's Adjusted Capital Account Balance to equal
the amount that would be distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii) upon a hypothetical liquidation
of the Company in accordance with Section 5.1(b), then special allocations of income, gain, loss, and/or deduction
shall be made as reasonably deemed necessary by the Executive Committee to achieve the intended Adjusted Capital Account Balances.


 


5.2          Regulatory
Allocations.


 


Notwithstanding Section 5.1
and Section 5.3:


 


(a)          Loss
Limitation. The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 5.1 shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can
be so allocated without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. If only one (1)
Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 5.1,
then the limitation set forth in this Section 5.2(a) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis so as to allocate
the maximum permissible Losses to each Member under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations. All Losses in excess
of the limitations set forth in this Section 5.2(a) shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage
Interests. This Section 5.2(a) shall be interpreted consistently with the loss limitation provisions of Regulations
§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).


 


(b)          Minimum
Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations § 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in partnership
minimum gain (as defined in Regulations §§ 1.704-2(b)(2) and 1.704-2(d)(1)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member
shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years)
in an amount and in the manner required by Regulations §§ 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2(b)
shall be interpreted consistently with the "minimum gain" provisions of Regulations § 1.704-2 related to nonrecourse
liabilities (as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(3)).


 


(c)          Member
Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulation § 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in
partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Regulations §§ 1.704-2(i)(2) and 1.704-2(i)(3)) attributable
to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4)) during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a
share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such Member's partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance
with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year
(and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount and in the manner required by Regulations §§ 1.704-2(i)(4)
and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 5.2(c) shall be interpreted consistently with the "minimum gain" provisions
of Regulations § 1.704-2 related to partner nonrecourse liabilities (as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4)).


 




    -18-


     


    

 


(d)          Qualified
Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations
§§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) that results in such Member having
an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or otherwise increases the amount of any deficit), then items of Company income and gain shall
be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations,
the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, if any, of such Member as quickly as possible. This Section 5.2(d) shall be interpreted
consistently with the "qualified income offset" provisions of Regulations § 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).


 


(e)          Nonrecourse
Deductions. Any non-recourse deduction (as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated
to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.


 


(f)          Member
Nonrecourse Deductions. Any partner nonrecourse deductions (as defined in Regulations §§ 1.704-2(i)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(2))
for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the partner
nonrecourse debt (as defined in Regulations § 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such Member nonrecourse deductions are attributable
in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(1).


 


(g)          Section 754
Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset is required pursuant to Code § 732(d),
Code § 734(b) or Code § 743(b), the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted pursuant to Regulations
§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).


 


(h)          Curative
Allocations. The allocations under Sections 5.2(a) through 5.2(f) (the "Regulatory Allocations")
are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible,
all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items
of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision
this Section 5 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Company shall make such offsetting special allocations
of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner the Executive Committee reasonably determines is appropriate so that,
after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital
Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items
were allocated pursuant to Section 5.1. In exercising its discretion under this Section 5.2(h), the Executive
Committee shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 5.2(a) through 5.2(f) that are
likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.


 




    -19-


     


    

 


5.3          Other
Allocation Rules.


 


(a)          Profits,
Losses, and any other items allocable to any period shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the
Executive Committee using any permissible method under Code § 706 and the Regulations thereunder.


 


(b)          The
Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Section 5 and as otherwise provided
in this Agreement and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 5 and this Agreement in reporting
their shares of Company Profit, Loss, income, gain, deduction and credit for income tax purposes.


 


5.4          Special
Tax Allocations.


 


In accordance with
Code § 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed
to the capital of the Company (including, but not limited to, the Property) shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among
the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income
tax purposes and its initial Book Value (computed in accordance with the definition of Book Value) using the "remedial method"
as described in Regulations promulgated under Code § 704(c).


 


In the event the Book
Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of the definition of Book Value, subsequent allocations
of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis
of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code § 704(c) and the Regulations
thereunder.


 


Any elections or other
decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Executive Committee in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose
and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state,
and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of
Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Notice") to Limoneira within such ten (10) Business Day period. If Lewis fails to provide an Adjudication Notice

this Agreement as the Manager  have been initially delegated by Manager to its Manager Affiliate, Lewis Operating Corp., a

without the need for further approval by the Company. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.2, the Manager shall
have the authority to take any action it deems necessary or advisable in connection with implementation of the Approved Business

Committee. Whenever the approval of the Executive Committee is required by this Agreement, or when this Agreement contemplates
joint action, consent or approval of the Members, such actions shall be taken through a committee (the "Executive Committee").

deemed necessary or advisable by the Executive Committee to accomplish the purposes of the Company.


 




    -23-


     


    

 


(b)          Election.
The Executive Committee shall be comprised of four (4) representatives (individually, a "Representative"

Representatives") and two Representatives shall be appointed by Limoneira (the "Limoneira's Representatives").
The Representatives shall be natural persons, but need not be residents of Delaware or members of the Company. As of the Effective
Date, Lewis' Representatives are John M. Goodman and Leon S. Swails and Limoneira's Representatives are Harold Edwards and Joe
Rumley. Each Representative shall have the authority to act on behalf of (i) the Member that appointed such Representative
on all matters that require the consent or approval of such Member under this Agreement, or (ii) the other Representative
appointed by such Member if such other Representative is absent from a meeting of the Executive Committee.


 


(c)          Removal
and Replacement. Only Lewis may remove and/or replace Lewis' Representatives and only Limoneira may remove and/or replace Limoneira's
Representatives. A Representative may resign at any time by giving written resignation to the other Representatives. The resignation
is effective without acceptance when such resignation is actually received by the other Representatives, unless a later effective
time is specified in the resignation.


 


(d)          Vacancies.
A vacancy created by the removal, death, incapacity or resignation, or by any other reason, of any Representative may only be filled
by election or appointment by the Member that appointed such Representative.


 


(e)          Meetings
of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee shall meet monthly at such times and places as the Executive Committee
may designate. Unless otherwise agreed by the Executive Committee, meetings shall be held in Santa Paula, California (provided

may be called by any Member or a Representative upon written notice to the other Member and Representatives, delivered not less
than five (5) Business Days before the meeting, setting forth the time and general purpose of the meeting. Any Representative
may waive such notice.


 


(i)          Conduct
of the Meetings. Any meeting of the Executive Committee may be held in person and by means of a conference, telephone or similar
communication equipment by means of which all Representatives and other individuals participating in the meeting can hear each
other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence by such person at the meeting. Each Member (and its advisors)
shall be entitled to attend all meetings and conferences (both internal meetings and those including third parties) held with respect
to the Company.


 


(ii)         Voting
and Decisions. Subject to Sections 2.5(d), 8.3 and 11.2(d) (which provide for the loss of voting
and approval rights), all matters that are subject to the approval, or require the action, of the Executive Committee under this
Agreement must be approved by at least one of the Lewis' Representatives and one of the Limoneira's Representatives. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary:


 




    -24-


     


    

 


(A)         If
there is a contract between a Company Entity, on the one hand, and a Member or an Affiliate of a Member, on the other hand, then
without limitation on the rights of the Executive Committee to approve such contract under Section 6.5), the other
Member (or its Representatives) shall have the right unilaterally (but not the obligation) to make any decision or determination
by the Company Entity under, exercise any right under, or terminate, extend, modify or agree to a waiver or forbearance of, such
contract. However, any approval or consent (or other determination that does not relate to (x) a default, or (y) whether
to exercise a right of the Company other than a mere approval or consent) to be made by the Company Entity under such contract
shall be subject to the approval of the Executive Committee. Nothing in this Section 6.4(e)(ii)(A) shall reduce the
obligations of the Manager to enforce such contracts and to keep each Member informed of the status thereof (including any defaults
thereunder and all facts relevant thereto) and of any rights that may be exercised thereunder.


 


(B)         If
there is a good faith dispute under an Affiliate Agreement respecting the payment of money by the Company to the other party to
such agreement, then the Member who is an Affiliate of such party shall have no right to make a Capital Contribution or Member
Loan and/or call on the other Member to make a Capital Contribution or Member Loan, to fund such disputed payment until such dispute
has been resolved.


 


(C)         If
there is an outstanding Default Loan made to any Member, then the approval of such Member's Representatives serving on the Executive
Committee shall not be required for the Company to make any distribution under Sections 4.1, 4.2 or 9.2,
to the extent such distribution is not in excess of the amount required to discharge all outstanding Default Loans.


 


(iii)        Attendance
and Waiver of Notice. Attendance of a Representative at any meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except
where a Representative attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground
that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.


 


(iv)        Actions
Without a Meeting. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement, any action of the Executive Committee may be
taken by written consent without a meeting. Subject to Sections 2.5(d), 8.3 and 11.2(d), any such action
taken by the Executive Committee without a meeting shall be effective only if the written consent or consents set forth the action
to be taken in writing and are signed by at least one Lewis' Representative and one Limoneira's Representative.


 


(f)          Compensation.
No Representative shall be entitled to compensation for attendance at meetings of the Executive Committee or for time spent in
the capacity as a Representative. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude a Representative from serving
the Company in any other capacity and receiving compensation from the Company for such service, as determined by the Executive
Committee.


 


(g)          Minutes.
Minutes of all meetings of the Executive Committee shall be kept and distributed to each Representative and the Members as soon
as reasonably practicable following each meeting. If no objection is raised in writing following receipt of minutes or in any event
at the next meeting of the Executive Committee, then such minutes shall be deemed to be accurate and shall be binding on the Representatives
and the Company with respect to the matters dealt with therein.

Project and to those third party expenses set forth in Section 6.8(c). The reimbursement will be calculated in accordance with

indirect expenses associated with the compensation of the Manager's and its Affiliates' personnel or employees associated with
Manager's performance of duties and responsibilities as Manager of the Company (the "Excluded Costs"). The Company,
however, will be responsible for all other expenses related to the Company's formation (e.g., filing fees and other costs
and expenses directly related to its organization) and operations, and the Manager shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs that are not Excluded Costs incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder.


 


(b)          Reimbursement
of Limoneira. The Company shall reimburse Limoneira on a monthly basis for the costs and expenses incurred by Limoneira allocable

6.9          Buy/Sell
Procedure.


 


(a)          Right
to Invoke. At any time after the Development Milestone is satisfied, each Eligible Member shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to implement the procedures set forth in this Section 6.9 if there is an Impasse with respect to an Eligible
Major Decision between the Representatives of the Executive Committee by delivering written notice (the "Buy/Sell Notice")
to the other Member. The term "Development Milestone" means the completion of the grading and those infrastructure
improvements for the Project described more fully on Exhibit G. The Member delivering a Buy/Sell Notice pursuant to
this Section 6.9 is hereinafter referred to as the "Triggering Member" and the Member receiving such
Buy/Sell Notice from the Triggering Member is hereinafter referred to as the "Non-Triggering Member." The Buy/Sell
Notice shall set forth the proposed sales price for the entire Project determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Triggering
Member (the "Sales Price"), which shall be payable, in cash, at the closing.


 


Within fifteen (15)
days following the delivery date of any Buy/Sell Notice, the Triggering Member shall cause the Independent Accountant to determine
the aggregate amount of cash that would be distributed and paid to each Member pursuant to Section 9.2(b) (including,
without limitation, any Member Loans made by such Member that would be repaid by the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i)
below) if (i) the entire Project was sold for the Sales Price as of the effective date of the Buy/Sell Notice; (ii) the
liabilities of the Company were liquidated pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i); (iii) a reasonable reserve was established
for contingent liabilities of the Company pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i); and (iv) the Company distributed any
remaining amounts in accordance with the provisions of Sections 9.2(b)(ii) as of the effective date of the Buy/Sell
Notice (with respect to each Member, the "Purchase Price" for such Member’s Membership Interest). Upon such
determination, the Independent Accountant shall give each Member written notice (the "Accountant's Notice") thereof.
The determination by the Independent Accountant of such amounts, including all components thereof, shall be deemed conclusive on
all of the Members, absent any material computational error. Each Member shall bear its own cost in connection with any sale of
a Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 6.9.


 


(b)          Right
to Deliver Election Notice. Within one hundred twenty (120) days following the effective date of the Accountant's Notice (the
“Exercise Period"”), the Non-Triggering Member shall elect one of the following: (1) to consent to the
Triggering Member’s proposed determination for the applicable Impasse, (2) to purchase the entire Membership Interest of
the Triggering Member, or (3) to sell its entire Membership Interest to the Triggering Member, in any such case by delivering written
notice (the "Exercise Notice") of such election to the Triggering Member.


 


(i)          If
the Non-Triggering Member timely delivers an Exercise Notice under the preceding clause (b)(2), then the Non-Triggering Member
shall purchase the entire Membership Interest of the Triggering Member in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.9(c).


 


(ii)         If
the Non-Triggering Member timely delivers an Exercise Notice under the preceding clause (b)(1), then the Executive Committee shall
be deemed to have approved the Triggering Member’s proposed determination for the applicable Impasse, and there shall be
no purchase or sale of either Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 6.9.


 




    -32-


     


    












 


(iii)        If
the Non-Triggering Member timely delivers an Exercise Notice under the preceding clause (b)(3), or if the Non-Triggering Member
fails to timely deliver any Exercise Notice, then the Non-Triggering Member shall be deemed to have elected to sell its entire
Membership Interest to the Triggering Member and the Triggering Member shall purchase the entire Membership Interest of the Non-Triggering
Member in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.9(c).


 


(c)          Purchase
of a Member's Membership Interest. Following the election by the Non-Triggering Member to be a purchaser pursuant to Section
6.9(b)(i) or the election (or deemed election) to be a seller pursuant to Section 6.9(b)(iii) (the “Buy/Sell Election”),
the following terms and conditions shall apply (with the purchasing Member referred to as the “Purchasing Member”,
and the selling Member referred to as the “Selling Member”):


 


(i)          Within
ten (10) days following the Buy/Sell Election, the Purchasing Member shall deposit into an escrow account established in the reasonable
discretion of the Selling Member with a nationally recognized escrow company, a deposit (the "Deposit") by wire
transfer of immediately available federal funds in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price of the Selling Member’s
Membership Interest, which shall be non-refundable to the Purchasing Member if the closing of the sale fails to occur by reason
of a default by the Purchasing Member. Upon the closing of the sale of the Selling Member's Membership Interest, the Deposit shall
be a credit against the Purchase Price. If the sale fails to occur due to a default by the Purchasing Member, then the Selling
Member may elect (i) to sue the Purchasing Member for specific performance to compel the Purchasing Member to sell its entire
Membership Interest to the Selling Member in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.9(c), (ii) to retain
the Deposit (without reduction to the Selling Member's Capital Account, Unreturned Initial Contribution Balance or Unreturned Additional
Contribution Balance) as liquidated damages, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or equity in connection with such default
(provided that from and after any such default, the Purchasing Member and the Representatives of the Purchasing Member shall also
lose any and all rights to vote on any Company matters in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2(d) below), (iii) to
pursue all rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise against the Purchasing Member if the Purchasing Member
failed to make the Deposit (including, without limitation, the right to seek the recovery of the Deposit), or (iv) to purchase
the entire Membership Interest of the Purchasing Member pursuant to Section 6.9(c)(vii).


 


The Members acknowledge
that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages that the Selling Member may suffer in connection with
a default by the Purchasing Member under this Section 6.9(c). Therefore, the Members have agreed that a reasonable
estimate of the total net detriment that the Selling Member would suffer in such event is and shall be the right of the Selling
Member to retain the Deposit if the Selling Member elects to do so under clause (ii) above as liquidated damages, as its sole and
exclusive remedy at law and in equity under this Section 6.9(c) (subject to the terms of Section 11.2(d)
below). The Members expressly acknowledge and agree that the retention of the Deposit is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty
within the meaning of the Act or any other state law. The Members acknowledge that they have been advised by their counsel with
respect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.9(c)(i) and by their initials set forth below indicate that the
foregoing remedies are fair and reasonable and agree and covenant not to contest the validity of such remedy as a penalty, forfeiture
or otherwise in any court of law (and/or in any reference or other proceeding).

(ii)         Within
five (5) days before the actual date of the closing pursuant to Section 6.7(c)(iii) below, the Independent Accountant
shall recalculate the amount of cash that would be distributed and/or paid to each Member pursuant to Section 9.2(b)
if such amount were determined as of the closing date under Section 6.9(c)(iii) (in lieu of the effective date of the
Buy/Sell Notice) taking into account any contributions and/or distributions that occur after the effective date of the Buy/Sell
Notice. Upon such determination, the Independent Accountant shall give each Member written notice ("Adjusted Price Determination
Notice") thereof. The Independent Accountant shall reasonably and in good faith adjust the Purchase Price, if and to the
extent necessary, to take into account the adjustments described in the Adjusted Price Determination Notice and to take into account
appropriate prorations that would have been made if there had been an actual sale of the Project to a third party.


 


(iii)        The
closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Section 6.9(c) shall be held at the principal office of the Company
on a Business Day designated by the Purchasing Member within forty-five (45) days following the Buy/Sell Election. The Selling
Member shall transfer to the Purchasing Member (or the Purchasing Member's nominee(s)) the entire Membership Interest of the Selling
Member free and clear of all liens, security interests, and competing claims and shall deliver to the Purchasing Member (or the
Purchasing Member's nominee(s)) such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution, and delivery, and
of the absence of any such liens, security interests, or competing claims, as the Purchasing Member (or the Purchasing Member's
nominee(s)) shall reasonably request. The Purchase Price for the Selling Member's Membership Interest shall be paid by the Purchasing
Member by delivering at the closing of a confirmed wire transfer of readily available funds or one (1) or more certified or bank
cashier's checks made payable to the Selling Member in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, less the amount of the Deposit paid
by the Purchasing Member pursuant to Section 6.9(c)(i) above (which shall be released to the Selling Member at the
closing). Effective as of the closing for the purchase of the Selling Member's Membership Interest, the Selling Member shall withdraw
as a member of the Company. In connection with any such withdrawal, the Purchasing Member may cause any nominee designated in the
sole and absolute discretion of such Member to be admitted as a substituted member of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
any indemnity of the Selling Member and its Affiliates provided for under this Agreement shall survive the sale of the Membership
Interest of the Selling Member and its withdrawal as a member of the Company.


 




    	 	-34-	 



     

    

  


(iv)        At
the closing, the Selling Member shall represent and warrant to the Purchasing Member that the sale of the Selling Member's Membership
Interest to the Purchasing Member (or its nominee(s)) (A) does not violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions
of, or constitute a material default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default)
under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, security or pledge agreement,
license, lease, franchise, permit, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Selling Member is a party (exclusive
of any such agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party), and (B) does not violate any judgment,
ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Selling Member or any of the other properties
or assets of the Selling Member (exclusive of its Membership Interest in the Company). The Selling Member shall also represent
and warrant to the Purchasing Member at such closing that no notice to, declaration, filing or registration with, or authorization,
consent or approval, or permit from, any domestic or foreign governmental regulatory body or authority, or any other Person, is
necessary in connection with the sale of its Membership Interest to the Purchasing Member.


 


(v)         The
Purchase Price shall be offset at the closing of such purchase by the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s)
(together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Purchasing Member to the Selling Member. Such Default Loan(s)
(together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) shall be deemed paid to the extent of such offset, with such deemed payment
to be applied first to the accrued interest thereon and thereafter to the payment of the outstanding principal amount thereof.
If the Purchase Price is insufficient to fully offset the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together
with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Purchasing Member to the Selling Member, then the portion of any such Default
Loan(s) (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be paid at the closing referenced
in Section 6.9(c)(iii). Also, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the unpaid balance of
any and all Default Loan(s) (including all outstanding principal amounts thereof and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made
by the Selling Member to the Purchasing Member shall be required to be paid by the Delinquent Member at the closing referenced
in Section 6.9(c)(iii).


 


(vi)        On
or before the closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Section 6.9(c), the Purchasing Member shall use
such Member's reasonable and good faith efforts to obtain written releases of the Selling Member and the Selling Member's Affiliates
from all liabilities under all Recourse Documents and all other liabilities of the Company for which the Selling Member (and/or
its Affiliates) may have personal liability. To the extent the Purchasing Member is unable to obtain such releases on or before
the closing, the Purchasing Member and an Affiliate of the Purchasing Member with a net worth reasonably acceptable to the Selling
Member (and, in the case of Limoneira as the Purchasing Member, LIMCO shall be deemed a reasonably acceptable party) shall jointly
and severally indemnify, defend and hold the Selling Member (and its Affiliates) wholly harmless from and against all such liabilities
and guaranties, except for any liabilities arising out of the Bad Conduct of the Selling Member (and/or its Affiliates).

(vii)       If
the Purchasing Member defaults in its obligation to timely and validly close the purchase of the Selling Member's Membership Interest,
then (A) the Purchasing Member shall not have any further right to deliver a Buy/Sell Notice pursuant to Section 6.9(a),
and (B) the Selling Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase the Membership Interest of the
Purchasing Member by delivering written notice to such defaulting Member within thirty (30) days following such default. If the
Selling Member makes the election described in clause (B) above, then the Purchase Price for the Purchasing Member's Membership
Interest shall be equal to 90% of the Purchase Price determined under Section 6.9(a) and on the other terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 6.9(c). If the Selling Member elects to purchase the Membership Interest of the Purchasing
Member pursuant to this Section 6.9(c)(vii), then the Selling Member shall not be entitled to retain the Deposit under
Section 6.9(c)(i).


 


(viii)      During
the pendency of any proceedings under this Section 6.9(c), the Company shall continue its operations in the ordinary
course of business, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that no Funding Notice shall be delivered
pursuant to Section 2.3 and the Company shall not accept any contributions from the Members, but shall accept Member
Loans if the Company has a Shortfall from either or both Members on terms reasonably approved by the Executive Committee.


 


(ix)         If,
during the course of proceedings under this Section 6.9(c), and prior to the Closing, there is material damage to the
Project, taken as a whole, by fire, accident, act of God or other similar casualty, the Company receives notice of a threat of
condemnation of a material portion of the Project, a claim is asserted against the Company by third parties that may not be fully
satisfied from available insurance proceeds, or another similar event threatening the continuing viability of the Company occurs,
then the Purchasing Member may terminate the proceedings under this Section 6.9(c) by written notice to Selling Member
provided that the material damage, threat of condemnation, or claim that is the basis for such termination did not result from
the intentional act or omission of Purchasing Member occurring after the commencement of proceedings under this Section 6.9(c).

holds an Ownership Interest in such Member to Transfer any part of such interest, except for Transfers that comply with the requirements
of Section 8.8 and that are either (a) approved in writing by the Executive Committee, (b) permitted under
Section 8.2(a), or (c) Excluded Transfers. A transferee of a Member's interest in the Company will be admitted
as a Substituted Member only pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.6. Any purported Transfer that does
not comply with the provisions of this Section 8 shall be void and of no force or effect to the maximum extent allowed
by law.

8.2           Permitted
Transfers and Excluded Transfers.


 


(a)          Permitted
Transfers. A Member or any direct or indirect owner of a Member shall be permitted to Transfer its entire Membership Interest
or Ownership Interest to any Person provided the Ownership Requirement applicable to such Member remains satisfied after such Transfer.
The term "Ownership Requirement" means (i) with respect to Lewis, (A) more than fifty percent (50% )
of the total beneficial interests in Lewis are owned, directly or indirectly, by one (1) or more lineal descendants of Ralph M.
Lewis (the "Lewis Descendants") and (B) the Lewis Descendants have the right, directly or indirectly, to
appoint and replace the individual(s) that manage Lewis; and (ii) with respect to Limoneira, (A) more than fifty percent
(50%) of the total beneficial interests in Limoneira are owned, directly or indirectly, by LIMCO, and (B) only LIMCO has the
right to appoint and replace the individual(s) that manage Limoneira.


 


(b)          Admission
of Permitted Transferees. If the Executive Committee approves a Transfer of a Member's entire Membership Interest in the Company,
then the transferee shall be admitted as a Substituted Member upon (i) the payment of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred
by the Company and the non-transferring Member in connection with such admission, and (ii) the execution of instruments reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the non-transferring Member, whereby the transferee agrees to be bound by all terms and conditions
of this Agreement that were applicable to the transferring Member. Following the satisfaction of the requirements in clauses (i)
and (ii), any such transferee shall be admitted as a member in the Company effective immediately prior to the effective date of
the Transfer (as set forth in Section 8.7), and, immediately following such admission, the transferring Member shall
cease to be a member of the Company, but shall not be released from any of its obligations or liability under this Agreement without
the written consent of the other Member, which may be granted or withheld in the other Member's sole and absolute discretion, unless
the transferee is a Person that results from a merger or consolidation with the transferring Member or that purchases all of the
assets of the transferring Member.


 


(c)          Excluded
Transfers. For purposes of this Agreement, an "Excluded Transfer" means any of the following events, to the
extent they would otherwise be treated as a Transfer under the definition thereof: (i) the transfer of any publicly traded
equity securities of LIMCO; (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of LIMCO, any change of control of LIMCO,
or any merger or consolidation involving LIMCO; or (iii) the transfer of any direct or indirect interest in Lewis provided
the Ownership Requirement applicable to Lewis remains satisfied after any such transfer.


 


8.3           Assignee
of Member's Interest.


 


If, pursuant to a Transfer
of a Membership Interest in the Company by operation of law and without violation of Section 8.1 (or pursuant to a
Transfer that the Company is required to recognize notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement), a Person acquires
an interest in the Company, but is not admitted as a Substituted Member pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.6,
then such Person:


 


(a)          shall
be treated as an assignee of a Member's interest, as provided in the Act;


 


(b)          shall
have no right to inspect the books or records of the Company, to participate in the business and affairs of the Company or to exercise
any rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement (including, without limitation, any management, voting, or consent rights
under this Agreement or the right to appoint any Representative to the Executive Committee); and


 




    	 	-39-	 



     

    

  


(c)          shall
share in distributions from the Company with respect to the transferred interest, on the same basis as the transferring Member
provided that any Damages to the Company as a result of such Transfer shall be offset against amounts that otherwise would be distributed
to such Member or otherwise paid to such Member or an Affiliate of such Member pursuant to any contract or other arrangement with
the Company (including any Affiliate Agreement).


 


8.4           Election;
Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee.


 


Upon the transfer of
the Membership Interest in the Company by any Member or the distribution of any property of the Company to a Member, the Manager
may file an election in accordance with applicable Regulations, to cause the basis of the Company property to be adjusted for federal
income tax purposes as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code.


 


8.5           Withdrawal.


 


Except as provided
in this Section 8, no Member may voluntarily or involuntarily withdraw or dissociate from the Company or terminate
its Membership Interest therein without the prior written consent of the other Member, which consent may be withheld in such other
Member's sole and absolute discretion. Any Member who withdraws from the Company in breach of this Section 8.5 shall
be treated in accordance with Section 8.3 as an assignee of a Member's Membership Interest that is not admitted as
a member, and shall not be relieved from any obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the obligation to
make Capital Contributions and Member Loans to the Company as required under Sections 2.2 and 2.3. The right
to share in distributions granted under this Section 8.5 shall be in lieu of any right the withdrawn Member may have
under the Act or otherwise to receive a distribution or payment of the fair market value of the Member's Membership Interest in
the Company.


 


8.6           Substituted
Members.


 


Except as provided
in Section 8.2, no Person taking or acquiring, by whatever means, the Membership Interest of any Member in the Company
shall be admitted as a substituted member in the Company (a "Substituted Member") without the written consent
of the Executive Committee, which consent may be withheld or granted in the sole and absolute discretion of each Representative.


 


8.7           Effective
Date of Transfer.


 


Any valid Transfer
of a Member's Membership Interest in the Company, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8 shall be effective as
of the close of business on the day preceding the closing of the transaction evidencing the Transfer. The Company shall, from the
effective date of such Transfer, thereafter make all distributions on account of the Membership Interest so transferred, to the
transferee of such Membership Interest. As between any Member and its transferee, the Profits and Losses of the Company for federal,
state, and local income tax purposes for the Fiscal Year of the Company in which such assignment occurs shall be apportioned for
federal income tax purposes in accordance with any convention permitted under Section 706(d) of the Code reasonably selected
by the Executive Committee.


 




    	 	-40-	 



     

    

  


8.8           Additional
Limitations on Transfer.


 


Notwithstanding any
other term of this Agreement, no Transfer of any Membership Interest in the Company or Ownership Interest in any Member may be
effectuated, unless in the opinion of the Company's counsel the Transfer (a) would not result in a breach of, or acceleration
of obligations under, any provision of any instrument governing any Recourse Document or under any provision of the Project Loan
Documents or other major contract to which the Company is a party; (b) would comply with the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable
securities laws of any other jurisdiction; and (c) would not violate any other applicable laws, provided that the provisions
of this Section 8.8 may be waived by the consent of the Representatives of the Executive Committee of the Member that
is not causing the Transfer of a Membership Interest or Ownership Interest in a Member. The Member who desires to Transfer a Membership
Interest in the Company (or in which an Ownership Interest is desired to be transferred) shall be responsible for all legal fees
incurred in connection with said opinion.


 


8.9           Transfer
Indemnity.


 


If the transfer of
any Member's Membership Interest or the transfer of an Ownership Interest in any Member would either (i) cause the Company
to "terminate" under Section 708(b)(1)(b) of the Code, or (ii) cause there to be a "change in control"
of the Company within the meaning of California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 64(c)(1), then such Member and its transferee
shall jointly and severally indemnify the Company for any loss, cost, expense or liability incurred by the Company as a result
of (A) any documentary taxes that may be imposed on the Company, and (B) any reassessment of the Project under California
Proposition 13.


 


SECTION 9.

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION


 


9.1           Dissolution.


 


In the event of any
Member's bankruptcy, dissolution, retirement, resignation, expulsion or other cessation to serve or the admission of any new member
into the Company, the Company shall not dissolve, but the business of the Company shall continue without interruption and without
any break in continuity. Except as may be permitted in accordance with this Agreement, to the maximum extent allowed by law, each
Member shall not have the right to, and each Member hereby agrees that such Member shall not, seek to dissolve or cause the dissolution
of the Company or seek to cause a partial or whole distribution or sale of Company assets whether by court action or otherwise,
it being agreed that any actual or attempted dissolution, distribution or sale would cause a substantial hardship to the Company
and the remaining Member. The Company shall only dissolve upon the first to occur of any of the following events:


 


(a)          The
unanimous election by the Members to dissolve the Company;


 




    	 	-41-	 



     

    

  


(b)          The
sale or description of all of the Company's assets and the collection of all proceeds realized in connection thereunder (including,
without limitation, the collection of any promissory note or other deferred amounts); or


 


(c)          The
entry of a judicial decree of dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.


 


9.2          Winding
Up.


 


(a)          General
Matters. Following the dissolution of the Company, as provided in Section 9.1, the Manager, or if there is no Manager,
each remaining Member, shall wind up the Company as provided in Section 18-803 of the Act. During such winding up process,
the Profits, Losses and Net Cash Flow distributions shall continue to be shared by the Members in accordance with this Agreement.
After the dissolution of the Company, the Company shall cease to carry on its business, except insofar as may be necessary for
the winding up of its business, but the Company's separate existence shall continue until a certificate of cancellation has been
filed with the Delaware Secretary of State or until a decree dissolving the Company has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(b)          Liquidation
and Distribution of Assets. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Executive Committee shall take full account of the Company's
liabilities and assets, and such assets shall be liquidated by the Manager as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair
value thereof. During the period of liquidation, the business and affairs of the Company shall continue to be governed by the provisions
of this Agreement, with the management of the Company continuing as provided in Section 6. The proceeds from liquidation
of the Company's property, to the extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order:


 


(i)          To
the payment and discharge of all of the Company's debts and liabilities, including those to Members who are creditors in the order
of priority required by law, and to the establishment of any necessary reserves (including, without limitation, reserves for insurance
deductibles); and


 


(ii)         To
the Members in accordance with Section 4.1.


 


Any reserves withheld
pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) shall be distributed as soon as practicable, as determined in the reasonable discretion
of the Manager, to the Members pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(ii).


 


9.3           Certificate
of Cancellation.


 


When all debts, liabilities,
and obligations of the Company have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining
property and assets of the Company have been distributed to the Members, a certificate of cancellation shall be executed and filed
by any Member with the Delaware Secretary of State.

SECTION 10.

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION


 


10.1         Exculpation
and Reliance on Information and this Agreement.


 


The Members hereby
agree to the exculpation, indemnity and other provisions set forth below as follows:


 


(a)          Limitation
on Liability. Neither the Manager, and Manager Affiliate, any Member, any Officer nor any direct or indirect member, partner,
shareholder, director, officer, manager or trustee of any such Person or any other Person designated by the Manager (collectively,
the "Covered Persons") shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to any Member
for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law or for anything that such Covered Person may do or refrain from doing hereafter,
except to the extent caused by such Covered Person's bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or breach of this Agreement
or any Affiliate Agreement.


 


(b)          Reliance
upon Information, Opinions, Reports, etc. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records
of the Company, any information received by the Manager, any Member or the Company with respect to the Property (financial or otherwise),
and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person
reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence including, but not limited to, information,
opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses or cash flow or any other
facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid.


 


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


 


10.2         Member
Indemnification.


 


Each Member (such Member,
the "Indemnifying Party") shall and does hereby indemnify, defend and hold wholly harmless, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Company, the other Member and their respective Affiliates (each, as applicable, the "Indemnified
Parties") for, from and against and in respect of any and all Damages, actually incurred by the Indemnified Parties to
the extent attributable to Bad Conduct or breach of this Agreement (including any Capital Default) or any Affiliate Agreement by
the Indemnifying Party or any Affiliate thereof (including, but not limited to, the breach by any Indemnifying Party or Affiliate
thereof of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any Affiliate Agreement); provided, however, that Damages
shall not include any Damages to the extent covered by insurance maintained by or for the benefit of such Indemnified Party or
any Excluded Liabilities. In the event the Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates incurs an indemnification obligation pursuant
to this Section 10.2, then the Indemnifying Party shall (i) in the event the Company has suffered Damages, make
a cash payment to the Company in the amount of the indemnification obligation which, for the avoidance of doubt, will (A) not
be treated as a Capital Contribution to the Company; and (B) not result in credit to the Indemnifying Party's Capital Account
(or Unreturned Initial Contribution Balance or Unreturned Additional Contribution Balance); or (ii) in the event the Indemnified
Party is not the Company, make a cash payment to the Indemnified Party in the amount of the indemnification obligation.


 




    	 	-43-	 



     

    

  


10.3         Company
Indemnification.


 


(a)          General
Indemnity. The Company shall and does hereby indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by the Executive Committee) and hold
wholly harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Covered Person, from and against any and all Damages incurred by
such Covered Person by reason of anything which such Covered Person may do or refrain from doing that arises out of or relates
to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the extent
any such Damages are covered by insurance maintained by or for the benefit of such Covered Person or to the extent such Damages
are incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person's Bad Conduct or breach of this Agreement or any Affiliate
Agreement.


 


(b)          Financing
Indemnity. Without limiting the provisions of Section 10.3(a), the Guarantors may execute and deliver one (1)
or more Recourse Documents pursuant to Section 3.2 that may impose liability upon such Guarantors in connection with
any financing or refinancing obtained by the Company or other transactions entered into by the Company. The Members acknowledge
and agree that each Guarantor shall execute and deliver one (1) or more Recourse Documents as an accommodation to the Company
and the Members. Accordingly, if any Guarantor incurs any Damages under any Recourse Document, then the Company shall indemnify,
defend, protect and hold such Guarantor wholly harmless from and against all such Damages incurred by such Guarantor as a result
of such Recourse Document; provided, however, the foregoing indemnification obligation shall not extend or apply to any Damages
incurred by any such Guarantor resulting from the Bad Conduct or breach of this Agreement by, such Guarantor (other than a failure
to pay any amounts due under any such Recourse Document as a result of the breach or default of the Company) or to the extent such
Damages are covered by insurance maintained by or for the benefit of such Guarantor. For purposes of this Section 10.3(b),
any contract entered into by LIMCO that is expressly assumed by the Company under the Contribution Agreement shall be treated as
a Recourse Document if LIMCO is unable to obtain a release from any liability thereunder. Additionally, at the request of Limoneira
(and at Limoneira’s sole cost and expense), if Limoneira or its Affiliates are prohibited by the other contracting party
from enforcing any obligations expressly retained by Limoneira on any such assumed contracts by reason of the assignment of the
assumed contract to Company , the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to enforce any such obligations on any
such assumed contracts, on behalf of, and for the benefit of Limoneira and its Affiliates.


 


(c)          Delivery
of Funding Notice. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the Manager may deliver a Funding Notice to the Members
pursuant to Section 2.3 if the Company has insufficient funds to satisfy its obligations under this Section 10.3.


 




    	 	-44-	 



     

    

  


10.4         Survivability
of Provisions. The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive each Member's withdrawal as a member of the Company
and the liquidation of the Company.

(c)          Default
Loan Remedies. If the Event of Default is attributable to the Defaulting Member's failure to make a cash payment to the Company
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.2, then (i) the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to make a Default Loan to the Defaulting Member in the amount of the Company's Damages; and (ii) the Defaulting
Member shall be deemed to have used the proceeds of such Default Loan to satisfy its obligation to reimburse the Company for the
Company Damages (without credit to such Defaulting Member's Capital Account, Unreturned Initial Contribution Balance or Unreturned
Additional Contribution Balance). The Non-Defaulting Member shall also be entitled to offset against the Defaulting Member's obligation

by the Company to the Defaulting Member or any Affiliate of the Defaulting Member pursuant to any contracts with the Company (including,

of such amount to the Company pursuant to the indemnification obligation provided by Section 10.2 of this Agreement.

Involuntary Bankruptcy Event or Transfer Event, then (i) the Delinquent Member's Representatives shall not be entitled to

(exclusive of any Fundamental Decision), (ii) the management of the business and affairs of the Company shall be vested solely
in the Representatives of the Non-Delinquent Member, (iii) the rights of the Delinquent Member shall be limited solely to
those of an assignee that is not admitted as a substituted member in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.3
(i.e., sharing in any allocations and/or distributions of Profits, Losses (and items thereof) and Net Cash Flow and liquidating
distributions to which such Member is entitled to receive under this Agreement), and (iv) the Delinquent Member shall not
have any authority to act for or bind the Company. For the avoidance of any doubt, the Members acknowledge that a Transfer Event
shall not be to have occurred unless such event is not cured within the Cure Period after notice of such default is given by the
Non-Delinquent Member.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2, a Member (and its Affiliates) shall not be liable for any Excluded Liabilities.

12.11         Dispute
Resolution; Jury Trial Waiver.


 


(a)          Generally.
Each and every controversy, dispute, or claim between the Members arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby (exclusive of any impasse on any Major Decision other than the Major Decision) ("Dispute")
that is not settled in writing within thirty (30) days after the date (the "Claim Date") upon which any such party
hereto gives written notice to the other that a Dispute exists, shall be submitted for binding adjudication to a reference proceeding
in California, without a jury, in accordance with the provisions of Section 638, et seq. of the California
Code of Civil Procedure ("CCP"), or their successor sections. The procedures set forth herein in this Section 12.11
shall constitute the exclusive means for the resolution of any such Dispute, including, without limitation, whether such Dispute
is subject to such reference proceedings and regardless of whether such Dispute includes any tort claims.


 


The referee shall be
a retired Judge of the Superior Court in Ventura County (the "Court") selected by mutual agreement of the parties
to the Dispute, and if they cannot so agree within thirty (30) days after the Claim Date, then the referee shall be promptly
selected by the Presiding Judge of the Court (or his or her representative) and in accordance with CCP §640. The referee shall
be appointed to sit as a temporary judge, with all of the powers for a temporary judge, as authorized by law, and upon selection
should take and subscribe to the oath of office as provided for in Rule 244 of the California Rules of Court (or any subsequently
enacted Rule). Each party shall have one (1) peremptory challenge of a referee selected by the Court pursuant to CCP §170.6.
The referee shall (i) be requested to set the matter for hearing within ninety (90) days after the referee's appointment,
and (ii) try any and all issues of law or fact and report a statement of decision upon them, if possible, within thirty (30)
days after all parties have rested and the case has been submitted for decision. Any decision rendered by the referee will be final,
binding and conclusive (except as otherwise provided expressly in this Agreement) and judgment thereon shall be entered pursuant
to CCP §644 in any court in the State of California having jurisdiction.


 




    	 	-50-	 



     

    

  


Any party may apply
for a reference proceeding by filing a petition for a hearing and/or trial by reference pursuant to CCP §638 at any time after
the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days following notice of the Claim Date, or (B) commencement by a party to this Agreement
of a regular (non-reference) legal action involving a Dispute. All discovery permitted herein shall be at the discretion of the
referee and shall be completed no later than fifteen (15) days before the first hearing (trial) date established by the referee.
The referee may extend such period in the event of a party's refusal to provide requested discovery for any reason whatsoever,
including, without limitation, legal objections raised to such discovery or unavailability of a witness due to absence or illness.
No party shall be entitled to "priority" in conducting discovery. Subject to the discretion of the referee, depositions
may be taken by either party upon seven (7) days' written notice, and request for production or inspection of documents shall be
responded to within fourteen (14) days after service. All disputes relating to discovery that cannot be resolved by the parties
shall be submitted to the referee whose decision shall be final and binding upon the parties. Pending appointment of the referee
as provided herein, the Court is empowered to issue temporary and/or provisional remedies, as appropriate.


 


(b)          Manner
of Proceedings. Except as expressly set forth herein, the referee shall determine the manner in which the reference proceeding
is conducted including the time and place of all hearings, the order of presentation of evidence and all other questions that arise
with respect to the course of the reference proceeding. All proceedings and hearings conducted before the referee, except for trial,
shall be conducted without a court reporter except that when any party so requests, a court reporter will be used at any hearing
conducted before the referee. The party making such a request shall have the obligation to arrange for and pay for the court reporter.
The costs of the court reporter at the trial shall be borne equally by the parties. All other costs shall be divided equally between
all of the parties to the proceeding; provided, however, that such costs, along with all other costs and expenses, including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees, shall be subject to award, in full or in part, by the referee, in the referee's discretion, to the
prevailing party. Unless the referee so awards attorneys' fees, each party shall be responsible for such party's own attorneys'
and expert witness fees and costs.


 


(c)          Determination
of Issues. The referee shall be required to determine all issues in accordance with existing case law and the statutory law
of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that the referee shall apply the rules of civil procedure and evidence applicable
to proceedings at law in the State of California. The referee shall be empowered to enter equitable as well as legal relief, to
provide all temporary and/or provisional remedies and to enter equitable orders that will be binding upon the parties. The referee
shall issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law, a written statement of decision, and a single judgment at the close
of the reference proceeding that shall dispose of all of the claims of the parties that are the subject of the reference. The parties
hereto expressly reserve the right to contest or appeal from the final judgment or any appealable order or appealable judgment
entered by the referee. The parties hereto also expressly reserve the right to move for a new trial or a different judgment, which
new trial, if granted, is also to be a reference proceeding under this provision.
