Solely for purposes of determining whether the restriction in clause (ii) applies, a Transfer includes any action taken by or with respect to a Member or an Affiliate of a Member that results in a deemed transfer of a Membership Interest for federal income tax purposes.

 

(b)                                 Pledges. No Member shall be required to pledge such Member’s Membership Interests in the Company in connection with any financing to be provided to the Company without such Member’s prior written approval; provided that the Company may pledge or cause the pledge of the membership or other equity interests in any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company to any third-party lender which pledge has been Approved by the Board.

 

(c)                                  Permitted Transferees. If a Member has Transferred such Member’s Membership Interest to a Permitted Transferee, and a Trigger Event occurs with respect to such Member or the transferor of such Membership Interest, the Permitted Transferee shall be required to sell its Membership Interest pursuant to the same terms and conditions, if any, as the Member who Transferred a Membership Interest to it, as if such Member never Transferred the Membership Interest to the Permitted Transferee.

(a)                                 Call Option. With respect to any Member and his/its Permitted Transferee, upon the occurrence of any Trigger Event, that Member (and that Member’s Permitted Transferee, heirs, estate, legal representatives or Assignee) (collectively, the “Call Seller”) shall be deemed to have granted to the Company and each other Class A-1 Member (the “Non-Selling Class A Members”) an option to purchase any or all of the Call Seller’s Units not otherwise subject to forfeiture in accordance with Section 6.4 (the “Called Units”), for the price and upon the terms set forth in this Section 3.6 (the “Call Option”). For the avoidance of doubt, there may be more than one Trigger Event with respect to any Member.

 

(b)                                 Company Election. Subject to Section 3.6(h), within forty-five (45) days of the date of such Trigger Event, the Board (on the Company’s behalf) shall notify the Non-Selling Class A Members of the portion of the Called Units that the Company elects to purchase. If the Company elects to purchase none or less than all of the Called Units, it shall give the Non-

 

17











 

Selling Class A Members written notice of the proposed sale of the Called Units within such forty-five (45) day period beginning on the date of such Trigger Event. The rights granted to the Company in this Section 3.6 shall be in addition to, and shall not be deemed to limit in any way, the Company from exercising any repurchase or redemption right pursuant to the applicable Grant Agreements.

 

(c)                                  Non-Selling Class A Member Election. If the Company notifies the Non-Selling Class A Members that it will exercise its option to purchase none or less than all of the Called Units, each Non-Selling Class A Member shall have until the sixtieth (60th) day following the date of such Trigger Event within which to notify the Company of such Non-Selling Class A Member’s election to purchase such Non-Selling Class A Member’s Pro Rata portion of the remaining Called Units. If any of the Non-Selling Class A Members elect to purchase none or less than all of his/its Pro Rata portion of the remaining Called Units (the remaining Called Units that such Non-Selling Class A Member elects not to purchase being called “Remaining Called Units”), the Company shall, within seventy-five (75) days of the date of such Trigger Event, notify the other Non-Selling Class A Members of such election and each of the other Non-Selling Class A Members, Pro Rata or as they may otherwise agree, may elect, by notifying the Company in writing within ninety (90) days of the date of such Trigger Event to purchase such Remaining Called Units. Any Member notifying the Company of his desire to purchase any of the Called Units shall be irrevocably obligated to do so. If a Non-Selling Class A Member fails to notify the Company of such Non-Selling Class A Member’s election to purchase his/its Pro Rata portion of any Called Units within the time specified in this Section 3.6(c), such Non-Selling Class A Member shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase such Called Units, and the Call Option shall be deemed to have expired with respect to such Non-Selling Class A Member’s right to purchase such Called Units.

 

(d)                                 Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Called Units (which shall be payable in immediately available funds on the date of purchase) shall be as follows:

 

(i)                                     For Class A-1 Units, the purchase price shall equal the Fair Market Value of the Called Units;

 

(ii)                                  For Class C Units and Class D Units,

 

(A)                               if the Call Option is with respect to any reason other than (1) the Company’s or its Affiliate’s termination of the Call Seller’s employment or engagement with the Company or such Affiliate for Cause or (2) the Call Seller’s termination of his employment or engagement with the Company or its Affiliate without Good Reason, the purchase price shall equal the Fair Market Value of the Called Units; and

 

(B)                               if the Call Option is with respect to (1) the Company’s or its Affiliate’s termination of the Call Seller’s employment or engagement with the Company or such Affiliate for Cause or (2) the Call Seller’s termination of his employment or engagement with the Company or its Affiliate without Good Reason, the agreed upon purchase price for all Class C Units or Class D Units

 

18











 

issued to that Member shall be equal to the lesser of (A) one hundred Dollars ($100.00) and (B) the Fair Market Value of the Called Units.

 

(e)                                  Closing of Purchase. The closing for the purchase of the Called Units shall be no later than fifteen (15) days after the determination of the purchase price for the Called Units (the “Call Closing”). At the Call Closing, the Call Seller shall Transfer the Call Seller’s Called Units to the Non-Selling Class A Members or the Company, as appropriate, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and such Call Seller shall execute and deliver any documentation that the Non-Selling Class A Members or the Company deems reasonable to effect such Transfer. Each Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Company as his/its attorney-in-fact to execute any documents necessary to carry out the terms of this Section 3.6. Each Member hereby acknowledges that such power of attorney is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and is transferable to any successor of the Company.

 

(f)                                   Unpurchased Called Units. Any Member who has had a Trigger Event occur with respect to his/its Membership Interest and such Membership Interest is not acquired pursuant to this Section 3.6, shall be automatically removed from service as a Manager (if such Member is then serving as a Manager) and shall remain subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(g)                                  Priority. The Call Option granted to the Company and the Members pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall take precedence over, and be in lieu of, the rights granted to the Company and/or the Members, as appropriate, pursuant to Section 3.8.

 

(h)                                 Deemed Re-Occurrence of Trigger Event. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Company does not purchase all of a Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 3.6 following a Trigger Event and subsequently such Member or its Affiliates breaches or violates any written covenant or agreement between a Member and the Company or its Affiliates regarding non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality (for purposes hereof, such provisions shall be deemed to survive indefinitely without regard to any temporal limitations set forth therein (a “Deemed Extension”)), the underlying Trigger Event shall be deemed to have re-occurred on the date the Company becomes aware of such breach or violation and the time periods set forth in this Section 3.6 shall start again as of such date, provided, however that, if a Trigger Event is deemed to have occurred as a result of a breach or violation by such Member or its Affiliates of a non-competition, non-solicitation or confidentiality covenant or agreement that would not have occurred but for the Deemed Extension, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3.6, the purchase price for such Member’s Called Units shall equal the Fair Market Value of the Called Units.

(a)                                 Member Repurchase Option. Each Member agrees to notify the Company in writing promptly, and in any event not later than ten (10) days after the occurrence of a Community Property Event. Upon the occurrence of a Community Property Event, the relevant

 

19











 

Member shall have an option to purchase all of the Membership Interest that such Member’s spouse or the estate of such Member’s spouse (the “CP Spouse”) received as a result of the Community Property Event (the “CP Interest”). Such Member may purchase the CP Interest from his/her CP Spouse for the Fair Market Value of the CP Interest (the “CP Purchase Price”) at any time after the Community Property Event by giving his/her CP Spouse written notice of his/her option to purchase the CP Interest; provided, however, if such Member does not elect to exercise his/her right to purchase the CP Interest within thirty (30) days after the Community Property Event, the Company and the Non-Selling Class A Members shall immediately have an option to purchase the CP Interest on the terms set forth in this Section 3.7 (the “CP Option”).

 

(b)                                 Company Purchase Option. If the relevant Member fails to purchase the CP Interest as provided in Section 3.7(a), the Company may require, by giving an irrevocable written notice to the CP Spouse within forty (40) days of the Community Property Event that such CP Spouse sell all or any portion of the CP Interest to the Company for the CP Purchase Price. The written notice shall state that the Company is exercising its option to purchase the CP Interest and set forth the date of such notice. Any CP Interest not acquired pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall remain subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Non-Selling Class A Member Purchase Option. If the Company elects to purchase none or less than all of the CP Interest, it shall promptly notify the Non-Selling Class A Members and each Non-Selling Class A Member shall have until the fiftieth (50th) day following the date of the Community Property Event within which to notify the Company of such Non-Selling Class A Member’s election to purchase such Non-Selling Class A Member’s Pro Rata portion of the remaining CP Interest. If any of the Non-Selling Class A Members elects to purchase none or less than all of his/its Pro Rata portion of the remaining CP Interest (the remaining CP Interest that such Non-Selling Class A Member elects not to purchase being called “Remaining CP Interest”), the Company shall, within fifty-five (55) days of the date of the Community Property Event, notify the Non-Selling Class A Members of such election and each of the Non-Selling Class A Members, Pro Rata or as they may otherwise agree, may elect, by notifying the Company in writing within sixty (60) days of the date of the Community Property Event, to purchase such Remaining CP Interest. Any Non-Selling Class A Member notifying the Company of his/its desire to purchase any of the CP Interest shall be irrevocably obligated to do so. Any CP Interest not acquired pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall remain subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Closing of Purchase.

(f)                                   Priority. The CP Option granted to the Company and the Members pursuant to this Section 3.7 shall take precedence over, and be in lieu of, the rights granted to the Company and/or the Members, as appropriate, pursuant to Section 3.8.

(b)                                 Such Drag-Along Right shall be exercisable by written notice (a “Drag-Along Notice”) given by the Drag Seller to each Member (other than the Drag Seller), which shall (i) state the Drag Seller’s Units to be sold, (ii) state the proposed aggregate purchase price and all other material terms and conditions of such sale (including the identity of the proposed Third Party transferee), and (iii) be accompanied by the written Transfer agreement between such Drag Seller and such Third Party transferee.

(d)                                 Each Drag-Along Member shall agree to make to the proposed Third Party transferee the same representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities as the Drag Seller agrees to make in connection with such Drag-Along Sale; provided, that (i) any such Drag-Along Member shall not be liable for the breach of any covenant by the Drag Seller and vice versa, (ii) in no event shall any Drag-Along Member be required to make representations and warranties other than (A) such Member’s valid ownership of its Units, (B) the Transfer of those Units to the proposed Third Party transferee free and clear of all Encumbrances (excluding those arising under applicable securities laws) and (C) such Member’s organization, authority, power and right to enter into and consummate such transaction without violating or breaching such Member’s charter or constitutional documents, any agreement to which such Member is a party or its assets are bound, or any applicable law, rule, regulation or order; (iii) any liability relating to

 

21











 

representations and warranties (and related indemnities) or other indemnification obligations (including escrow/holdback arrangements) regarding the business of the Company in connection with the Drag-Along Sale shall be shared on a several (but not joint) basis by the participating Members as if such amount reduced the aggregate proceeds available for distribution or payment to the participating Members pursuant to such Drag-Along Sale and (iv) no Drag-Along Member shall be obligated to agree to indemnification obligations in excess of the proceeds received by such Drag-Along Member in such Drag-Along Sale.

 

(e)                                  The Drag Seller shall bear its own costs and any other costs arising pursuant to such Drag-Along Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all Members.

24











 

(iv)                              If any Non-Compete Party breaches any provision of this Section 3.12(b), such Member agrees and acknowledges that the time periods set forth herein shall be extended by the time period of such breach.

 

(v)                                 Nothing in this Section 3.12(b) shall abrogate any other non-competition agreement to which the Company or any of its Affiliates and any Non-Compete Party is a party.

 

(vi)                              Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall this Section 3.12(b) restrict the Ranger IPO Entities from taking any action that would otherwise be prohibited by this Section 3.12(b).

 

(c)                                  Each party hereto recognizes that a breach of any of the provisions of Section 3.12(a) or 3.12(b) would result in serious harm to the Company for which monetary damages would be inadequate, difficult to determine, or both. Therefore, if any Non-Compete Party or its Affiliates breaches any provision of Section 3.12(a) or 3.12(b), the Company shall be entitled to injunctive relief and specific performance in addition to any other available legal or equitable remedies against such breaching Non-Compete Party and/or its Affiliates (as applicable).

 

(d)                                 The Company and the Members agree that the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 1833 are incorporated herein and shall govern the provisions set forth in this Section 3.12.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent any provision of any employment agreement, offer letter, noncompetition, nondisclosure, non-solicitation or similar agreement, including any Grant Agreement, between any Class C Member or Class D Member, on the one hand, and the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, on the other, conflicts with the provisions set forth in this Section 3.12, such other provisions shall govern.

3.18                        Waiver of Fiduciary Duties and Corporate Opportunity

 

.

 

(a)                                 The Members expressly acknowledge and agree hereby that their relationship to the Company and each other is strictly contractual in nature and is not that of partners, joint venturers or any similarly situated persons and is not fiduciary in nature. No Member shall take, or cause or permit its Affiliates, directors, managers, members, partners, officers, employees or agents to take, any action that would bind or obligate the Company in any manner not expressly authorized by this Agreement. Each Member may grant or withhold their consent, approval or vote, in their sole discretion, as directed or otherwise determined by such Member, without regard to the interests of the other Members, it being understood that except to the extent required by the Act, no Member shall have any fiduciary duty or other duty to represent or act in the best interests of the Company or the other Members.

 

(b)                                 A “Corporate Opportunity” shall mean an investment or business opportunity reasonably related to the business of the Company. Subject to compliance with Section 3.12, the Members and the Managers who are elected or appointed by the Members (collectively, the “Exempt Persons”), in their sole discretion and without obtaining the consent of or soliciting participation by any Member or the Company, (i) may engage in, possess an interest in, or participate as an officer, director, manager, consultant, representative, partner, stockholder, member, or employee in, any present or future business venture (whether or not competing with any present or future business activities of the Company); and (ii) may become a shareholder, officer or director of any corporations, a member (including the managing member) of any limited liability companies, a partner (including the general partner) in any partnerships, the manager of other entities, and/or the investment manager for investment funds; and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the doctrines of corporate opportunity and fiduciary duty, or any analogous doctrines, shall not apply to any Exempt Person. Each Member acknowledges and

 

26











 

agrees that any such other investments, accounts, funds, business ventures, or other entities, whether now existing or created in the future, could compete with the Company’s and its Affiliates’ business and each Member waives any claims against the Exempt Persons based on such actions. No Exempt Person who acquires knowledge of a Corporate Opportunity or other opportunity or a potential transaction, agreement, arrangement, or other matter that may be a Corporate Opportunity or other opportunity for the Company or any Member shall have any duty to communicate or offer such opportunity to the Company or any Member, and (to the fullest extent permitted by law) such Exempt Person shall not be liable to the Company or to the Members for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of the fact that such Exempt Person pursues or acquires for, or directs such opportunity to, another Person or Entity (including such Exempt Person or any other Exempt Person) and/or does not communicate such opportunity or information to the Company or any Member. Any Exempt Person also currently (and in the future) may engage and/or invest in other businesses and/or non-business activities. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right, title, or interest in or to any such businesses and/or activities, or in the income or profits derived therefrom, by reason of this Agreement or otherwise. This Section 3.18(b) shall not be construed or interpreted as modifying the covenants and obligations set forth in Section 3.12 in any respect.

3.20                        Fair Market Value

 

.

 

(a)                                 For purposes of this Article 3, the “Fair Market Value” of the Units in question shall be the fair market value agreed upon by the seller and the buyer of the Units (except in the case of a Transfer by gift or otherwise without consideration), as the case may be, or if they are unable to agree on such fair market value or in the case of a Transfer by gift or otherwise without consideration, the fair market value of such Units as determined by one or more independent appraisers as provided herein. If the seller and the buyer are unable to agree on the Fair Market Value within ten (10) days following the date of exercise of the applicable option to purchase, the Fair Market Value shall be determined by an independent appraiser appointed by the seller and the buyer (such appointment to be made within ten (10) days of the expiration of the initial ten (10) day period). If the seller and the buyer are unable to agree on an independent appraiser, they each shall appoint one (1) independent appraiser, the two (2) of whom shall thereupon appoint a third (3rd) independent appraiser, within ten (10) days of the appointment of the second appraiser. If the seller or the buyer fails to appoint an independent appraiser within a ten (10) day period, they shall be deemed to have consented to the appraiser selected by the other party and that appraiser’s determination of the Fair Market Value shall be final. Once three (3) appraisers are appointed, each appraiser shall determine the Fair Market Value. The Fair Market Value shall be the average of the middle value (i.e., the amount determined by the appraiser that is neither the highest nor the lowest) and the value that is closest to the middle value; provided, however, if there is an equal difference between the middle value and the other two values, the Fair Market Value shall be the middle value; provided, further, if two of the values are equal, the Fair Market Value shall be the amount agreed-upon by those two appraisers. For example, if the

 

27











 

three values were $9, $10, and $12, the Fair Market Value would be $9.50; if the three values were $9, $10, and $11, the Fair Market Value would be $10; and if the three values were $9, $9, and $12, the Fair Market Value would be $9. Such independent appraiser or appraisers shall, as a condition of their employment, execute agreements to keep any information they receive concerning the Company confidential. To determine the Fair Market Value of any Unit, the independent appraiser(s) shall first determine the fair market value of the Company itself, and the fair market value of the Unit shall be equal to the amount that would be distributed in respect thereof if, based on such fair market value of the Company, the Company were then dissolved and liquidated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The determination by the independent appraiser(s) as to Fair Market Value shall be binding upon all parties. The Company shall bear all fees and expenses of such appraisals.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all time periods associated with the rights and obligations set forth in this Article 3 for the Company or any other purchaser of Units shall be suspended until a determination of the Fair Market Value shall have been made.

(ii)                                  Indirectly issue the number of Class C Units and Class D Units specified in the Master Reorganization Agreement to each RES Carried Interest Holder, and admit each such Person as a Class C Member or Class D Member in accordance with Section 3.2(b). Each Class C Unit and Class D Unit issued by the Company will track the distribution, vesting and forfeiture provisions that apply to such Person’s corresponding Class C Units and Class D Units of RES Holdings I that are to be redeemed by RES Holdings I pursuant to the Master Reorganization Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Acknowledgement. The Members acknowledge that the Ranger Reorganization may be undertaken only in anticipation of the Ranger IPO. All Members shall take any and all actions as may be reasonably required and otherwise cooperate in good faith

Following the Ranger Reorganization, the Company shall have the number of authorized but unissued Class C Units and Class D Units contemplated by the Master Reorganization Agreement. Class C Units and Class D Units are non-voting, and will have no right to vote or otherwise approve any action by the Members in any respect whatsoever. Class C Units and Class D Units are intended to be “profits interests” from a U.S. federal income tax perspective, and will be assigned a Hurdle Amount upon issuance, which in the case of the Class C Units and Class D Units issued to RES Carried Interest Holders in connection with the Ranger Reorganization shall equal the Hurdle Amount (as defined in the RES Holdings I LLC Agreement) for the corresponding Class C Units and Class D Units of RES Holdings I that are to be redeemed in connection with the Ranger Reorganization.

sell its Class C Units or Class D Units, respectively, pursuant to Section 3.8, (ii) the Company sells, leases or otherwise consensually disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, or (iii) the Company consolidates or merges with or into any other Person and is not the surviving parent Entity, then one hundred percent (100%) of all Forfeitable Units being transferred pursuant thereto shall immediately convert to Non-Forfeitable Units prior to the effective date of any such Transfer.

 

(e)                                  Non-Transferability. Forfeitable Units may not be Transferred or otherwise disposed of in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempt to Transfer or otherwise dispose of any right or privilege related thereto shall be null and void.

 

(f)                                   Tax Consequences.

Each Person receiving a grant of Class C Units or Class D Units acknowledges that it is the sole responsibility of such Person, and not the Company, to file a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code even if such Person requests the Company or its representatives to make such filing on behalf of such Person. Each Class C Member and each Class D Member shall be solely responsible for determining the tax consequences of any issuance of Class C Units or Class D Units, as applicable, under this Agreement to such Member, including the advisability, availability, method, and timing for filing an election to include income arising from such issuance into such Member’s gross income under Code Section 83(b), the tax consequences of such election, and the provision of written notice to the Company of such election in accordance with the regulations promulgated under Code Section 83(b).

 ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

7.1                               Distributions

 

.

 

(a)                                 Distributable Cash. Except as provided in Section 7.1(b), Distributable Cash shall be distributed at such times as Approved by the Board and shall be made to the Members according to the schedule below:

 

(i)                                     to the Class A-1 Members, Class C Members and Class D Members, to be divided among them pursuant to the Participating Distribution Allocations, an amount equal to the total amount of such distribution multiplied by the Participating Percentage, and

 

(ii)                                  to the Class A-1 Members, to be divided among them pursuant to the Non-Participating Distribution Allocations, an amount equal to the total amount of such distribution multiplied by the Non-Participating Percentage.

 

“Participating Distribution Allocations” means:

 

(i)                                     First, to the Members, to the extent of, and in proportion to, their Preferred Return Accounts;

 

(ii)                                  Second, to the Members, to the extent of, and in proportion to, their Capital Return Accounts; and

 

(iii)                               Thereafter, (A) one hundred percent (100%) less the percentages determined pursuant to clauses (B) and (C) to the Class A-1 Members Pro Rata in accordance with their relative number of Class A-1 Units, (B) fifteen percent (15%) to the Class C Members Pro Rata in accordance with their relative number of Class C Units and (C) five percent (5%) to the Class D Members Pro Rata in accordance with their relative number of Class D Units; provided that no distributions shall be made with respect to Class D Units until the sum of all distributions made to each Class A-1 Member equals 2.0x the return of all Capital Contributions theretofore made by such Class A-1 Member to the Company; provided further that the percentages set forth in clauses (B) and (C) may be adjusted as set forth in any Grant Agreement.

 

Subject to the right to receive Tax Distributions as set forth in Section 7.1(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Class C Unit and a Class D Unit shall be included in a distribution only to the extent that the cumulative amount distributed to all Members pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above since the date that Class C Unit or Class D

 

36











 

Unit was issued exceeds the Hurdle Amount with respect to that Unit. Any amount that would otherwise be distributed to a Class C Member or Class D Member but for the application of the preceding sentence shall instead be distributed to the Class A-1 Members Pro Rata in accordance with their relative number of Class A-1 Units. In addition, any amount that would otherwise be distributed with respect to any authorized but unissued Class C Unit or Class D Unit shall instead by distributed to the Class A-1 Members Pro Rata in accordance with their relative number of Class A-1 Units.

 

“Non-Participating Distribution Allocations” means:

 

(i)                                     First, to the Members, to the extent of, and in proportion to, their Preferred Return Accounts;

 

(ii)                                  Second, to the Members, to the extent of, and in proportion to, their Capital Return Accounts; and

 

(iii)                               Thereafter, one hundred percent (100%) to the Class A-1 Members Pro Rata in accordance with their relative number of Class A-1 Units.

 

(b)                                 Distributions to Pay Tax Liabilities. The Company shall declare and make cash distributions pursuant hereto to the Members to allow the U.S. federal income tax (including estimated tax payments) attributable to the Company’s taxable income and any Code Section 704(c) allocations during that Fiscal Year that is passed through the Company to the Members to be paid by such Members when due (each a “Due Date”) in adequate distributable amounts necessary for Members to satisfy such tax obligations. To satisfy this requirement, the Company shall pay on or before five (5) days prior to each Due Date, an amount so that the cumulative amount of distributions for that Fiscal Quarter that have been designated by the Company as “Tax Distributions” are at least equal to (i) the sum of the Company’s positive taxable income attributed to its Members during that Fiscal Quarter multiplied by (ii) forty-four percent (44%). Such Tax Distributions shall be made to the Members in proportion to the net positive taxable income allocated to the Members on a cumulative basis, which for the avoidance of doubt,  shall include taxable income allocated to such Members pursuant to the RES Holdings I LLC Agreement, but only to the extent attributable to such Member’s Class A-1 Units, Class C Units or Class D Units in RES Holdings I that were redeemed in connection with the Ranger Reorganization. Any distribution made to a Member pursuant to this Section 7.1(b) shall be treated as an advance on any distributions to be made to such Member pursuant to Section 7.1(a) (including by way of Section 10.3(c)), and as such shall reduce such next subsequent distributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis. For avoidance of doubt, with respect to any distribution made to a Member pursuant to this Section 7.1(b), such distributions shall not be treated as a return of or on capital or as any other distribution described in Section 7.1(a) until and to the extent distributions pursuant to Section 7.1(a) are reduced pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

 

7.2                               Basic Allocations

(a)                                 In General. After taking into account the special allocations set forth in this Article 7, and subject to Section 7.2(b), Profits and Losses for each calendar year (or individual items thereof), shall be allocated among the Members in the manner that will cause their Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts to equal, as soon as possible, their Targeted Accounts.

 

(b)                                 Limitation on Loss Allocations. If any allocation of Losses would cause a Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, those Losses instead shall be allocated to the other Members Pro Rata.

 

7.3                               Allocations on Transfers

 

. Taxable items of the Company attributable to a Membership Interest that has been transferred (including the simultaneous decrease in the Membership Interest of existing Members resulting from the admission of a new Member) shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee using the proration method in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, at the discretion of the Managers, make an interim closing of its books as of the date that a Membership Interest has been transferred (including the simultaneous decrease in Membership Interest of existing Members resulting from the admission of a new Member), and allocate taxable items of the Company attributable to such Membership Interest based on such interim closing in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4. Distributions of assets of the Company with respect to a Membership Interest shall be made only to the Persons who, according to the records of the Company, are the owners, on the actual date of distribution, of the Membership Interests with respect to which the distributions are made. No liability shall result from making distributions in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, whether or not any Manager or the Company has knowledge or notice of a transfer or purported transfer of ownership of a Membership Interest.

 

7.4                               Special Allocations

 

. If the requisite stated conditions or facts are present, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

 

(a)                                 Qualified Income Offset. If a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (d)(5) or (d)(6), then items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) shall be made if and only to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article 7 have been tentatively made without considering this Section 7.4(a).

 

(b)                                 Gross Income Allocation. If a Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year of the Company that exceeds the sum of (i) the amount the Member is obligated to restore, and (ii) the amount the Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), then each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain of the

 

38











 

Company in the amount of the excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall be made if and only to the extent that the Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of that sum after all other allocations provided for in this Article 7 have been tentatively made without considering Section 7.4(a) or 7.4(b).

 

(c)                                  Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Company under Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis of the asset) and that gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that section of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(d)                                 Partnership Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made, prior to any other allocation under this Agreement, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during such year determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). This Section 7.4(d) is intended to comply with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirements of the Treasury Regulations and shall be subject to all exceptions provided therein.

 

(e)                                  Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 7 (other than Section 7.4(d)), if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made, any Member with a share of such Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain as of the beginning of the year shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for that period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during such year determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4)). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This Section 7.4(e) is intended to comply with the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback requirements of the Treasury Regulations, shall be interpreted consistently with the Treasury Regulations and shall be subject to all exceptions provided therein.

 

(f)                                   Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period for which allocations are made will be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

 

39











 

7.5                               Curative Allocations

 

. The “Basic Regulatory Allocations” consist of (a) the allocations pursuant to Section 7.4(b), and (b) the allocations pursuant to Sections 7.4(a) through 7.4(f). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Basic Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of the allocations of other items and the Basic Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Basic Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

7.6                               Other Allocation Rules

 

.

 

(a)                                 Allocations of Built-in Gain/Loss Items. In accordance with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property actually or constructively contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation at the time of the contribution between the tax basis of the property to the Company and the Gross Asset Value of that property. Except as otherwise provided herein, any elections or other decisions relating to those allocations shall be made by the Board (by Approval of the Board), after consultation with the Accountant, in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement; provided that the Company shall utilize the “remedial method” under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3(d) unless otherwise determined by the Board (by Approval of the Board). Allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction pursuant to this Section 7.6(a) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, the Capital Account of any Member or the share of Profits or Losses, other tax items or distributions of any Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3), the Members’ interests in Company profits shall be allocated to the Class A-1 Members Pro Rata in accordance with their relative number of Class A-1 Units. In the event Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) is finalized, the Board shall select an allocation method permitted by the Treasury Regulations as finalized with the Approval of the Board.

 

(c)                                  Recapture. Any (i) recapture of depreciation or any other item of deduction shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.1245-1(e) and 1.1254-5, to the Members who received the benefit of such deductions (taking into account the effect of remedial allocations) and (ii) recapture of grants or credits shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with applicable law.

 

7.7                               Capital Accounts

 

. The Company shall establish and maintain a separate capital account (“Capital Account”) for each Member in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and in accordance with the following provisions:

 

40









 

(a)                                 The Capital Account balance of each Member shall be credited (increased) by (i) the amount of cash contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company, (ii) the fair market value of property contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company assumes or takes subject to under Code Section 752), and (iii) such Member’s allocable share of Profits and any items in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 7.4 and 7.5; provided that the initial Capital Account of each Member shall equal the Capital Account (as defined in the RES Holdings I LLC Agreement) attributable to such Member’s corresponding interest in RES Holdings I as determined immediately prior to the distribution of property by RES Holdings I in connection with the Ranger Reorganization, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall take into account the revaluation of RES Holdings I property pursuant to the RES Holdings I LLC Agreement;

 

(b)                                 The Capital Account balance of each Member shall be debited (decreased) by (i) the amount of cash distributed to such Member by the Company, (ii) the fair market value of property distributed to such Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member assumes or takes subject to under Code Section 752) and (iii) such Member’s allocable share of Losses and any items in the nature of expenses or losses which are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 7.4 and 7.5; and

 

(c)                                  The Board shall adjust the Gross Asset Values of the Company’s assets in accordance with subsection (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Values and such adjustments may result in gain, loss, Profits or Losses which shall be reflected in the Members’ respective Capital Accounts in accordance with Sections 7.2 and 7.4 and as of the date of this Agreement consistently with the Member Schedule. The resulting increase or decrease in the Capital Accounts of each Member shall be treated as a Code Section 704(c) item.

 

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 7.7 and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts have been included in this Agreement to comply with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those provisions. The Board may modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts are maintained under this Section 7.7 in order to comply with those provisions, as well as upon the occurrence of events that might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with those provisions.

 

7.8                               Tax Withholding

 

. To the extent required by applicable law, the Company shall withhold taxes attributable to taxable income allocable or distributed to a Member and shall pay over to any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts required to be so withheld. For all purposes under this Agreement, any amount so withheld shall be treated as actually distributed to the Member with respect to which such amount was withheld.

These indemnification rights are in addition to any rights that the Indemnified Party may have against third parties. THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES THOSE CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S SOLE, JOINT OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY, BUT SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDES THOSE CLAIMS THAT ARISE OUT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR LACK OF GOOD FAITH.

. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 8.1 shall include the right to be paid by the Company for the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition (hereinafter an “Advancement of Expenses”); provided, however, that an Advancement of Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses under this Article 8 or otherwise.

The Board is authorized to take (or cause the Company to take) such other actions as may be necessary pursuant to Treasury Regulations or other guidance to cause the Tax Matters Member to be designated as the “partnership representative” of the Company, and each Member agrees to consent to such designation to the extent requested by the Board. Any Member who is designated “tax matters partner” shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Member to become a “notice partner” within the meaning of Code Sections 6223 and 6231. Any Member who is designated “tax matters partner” or “partnership representative” shall inform each other Member of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as such by giving notice thereof on or before fourteen (14) days after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Member copies of all significant written communications it may receive in that capacity. Any Member who is designated “tax matters partner” may not take any action contemplated by Code Sections 6222 through 6231, and any Member who is designated “partnership representative” may not take any action contemplated by the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, without the consent of the Board, but this sentence does not authorize any Person to take any action left to the determination of an individual Member under Code Sections 6222 through 6231. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) neither the “tax matters partner” nor the “partnership representative,” as applicable, will (i) agree to any extension of the statute of limitations for making tax assessments on behalf of the Company without first obtaining the written consent of all Class A-1 Members or (ii) waive any rights of or bind any Class A-1 Member to a settlement agreement in any tax proceeding without obtaining the prior written concurrence of any such Class A-1 Member and (b) unless otherwise approved by all of the Class A-1 Members, in the event of an audit by the IRS, the “partnership representative” shall make, on a timely basis, the election provided by Code Section 6226(a) to treat a “partnership adjustment” as an adjustment to be taken into account by each Member in accordance with Code Section 6226(b).

(b)                                 Nothing contained in this Section 10.1 is intended to permit a Member to dissolve the Company at will (by retirement, resignation, withdrawal, or otherwise), or to exonerate a Member from liability to the Company and the remaining Members if it dissolves the Company at will. An unpermitted dissolution at will of the Company is in contravention of this Agreement for purposes of the Act.

 

10.2                        Winding-up

 

.

 

(a)                                 On dissolution of the Company, the business and affairs of the Company shall terminate, the assets of the Company shall be liquidated, and the Company’s affairs shall be wound up under this Article 10.

 

(b)                                 Dissolution of the Company is effective as of the day on which the event giving rise to the dissolution occurs, but the Company shall not terminate until (i) there has been a winding up of the Company’s business and affairs and (ii) the Company’s assets have been distributed as provided in Section 10.3.

 

(c)                                  On dissolution of the Company, all or any part of the assets of the Company shall be sold in the manner Approved by a Majority of the Class A-1 Members, in an effort to obtain the best prices for the assets; provided, however, that the Board may distribute assets of the Company in kind to the Members to the extent practicable.

 

10.3                        Distribution of Assets on Dissolution

 

. In settling accounts after dissolution, the assets of the Company shall be paid, reserved or distributed in the following order:

 

45











 

(a)                                 First, amounts owed to creditors shall be paid to those creditors, in the order of priority as provided by law, except those to Members on account of their Capital Accounts, Capital Return Accounts or Capital Contributions;

 

(b)                                 Second, amounts necessary to establish, for a period not to exceed one (1) year after the date of dissolution, cash reserves that the Board deems reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company shall be held as reserves by the Company; and

 

(c)                                  Third, any remainder shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 7.1(a). Distributions pursuant to this Section 10.3 may be made to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, subject to the Approval of a Majority of the Class A-1 Members, in the same proportions as the amounts distributed to the trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement.

 

10.4                        Distributions in Kind

 

. Assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members entitled thereto as tenants-in-common in the same proportions as the Members would have been entitled to cash distributions if the property had been sold for cash and the net proceeds distributed to the Members. If distributions in kind are made to the Members on dissolution and winding up of the Company, the Capital Account balances of those Members shall be adjusted to reflect the Members’ allocable share of gain or loss that would have resulted if the distributed property had been sold at its fair market value.

 

10.5                        Certificate of Cancellation

 

. When all liabilities and obligations of the Company have been paid or discharged, or adequate provision has been made therefor, and all of the remaining property and assets of the Company have been distributed to the Members according to their respective rights and interests, a Certificate of Cancellation shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one or more of the Managers or an authorized Member and shall be filed with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and the Managers and Members shall execute, acknowledge and file any and all other instruments necessary or appropriate to reflect the dissolution and the completion of the winding up of the Company.
