The closing of the acquisition of the Property (the “Acquisition Closing”) is anticipated to occur on or about February 8, 2026 , as provided in the Purchase Agreement and as Amended. Prior to the Acquisition Closing, NGD shall assign the Purchase Agreement to the Property Owner. NGD may accrue a pre-approved amount in developer overhead which Holdco shall pay at the Acquisition Closing.
(b) The Property Owner intends to grant a first priority mortgage construction loan on the Property (which may include acquisition financing) to an institutional lender approved by NGD (“Senior Lender”) in an amount to be determined (the “Senior Loan”). All guaranties and other credit support necessary or required for the Property, including any guaranties or indemnities required by the Senior Lender, shall be provided by NGD and/or its principal, Harvey Hernandez.
2.2 Property Management. The Property shall be managed by its property manager, NGD (or its Affiliate) (in any case, the “Property Manager”), pursuant to a property management agreement (“PMA”). In accordance with the PMA, the Property Manager shall be responsible for the day-to-day management of all commercial activities relating to the operation of the Property.
2.3 Payment of Certain Fees.
(a) Holdco shall pay, or shall cause Property Owner to pay, NGD’s Affiliate, Newgard Development Group Inc., a Developer Fee equal to five percent (5%) of the Project of the Project total hard costs, sales and marketing costs and soft costs.

ARTICLE III
PERCENTAGE INTERESTS; CAPITALIZATION; LOANS BY MEMBERS
3.1 Percentage Interests; Initial Contributions.
(a) The Percentage Interest of each Member shall equal a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to such Member’s Capital Contributions and the denominator of which is equal to the aggregate Capital Contributions of all Members. The name, address, Percentage Interest and initial Capital Contribution of each Member shall be recorded and in a Member ledger maintained with the books and records of the Company at the Company’s principal office (the “Member Ledger”), which Member Ledger may be updated by the Manager from time to time to reflect any changes in the Members, their respective addresses, Capital Contributions and/or Percentage Interest.
(b) The Members hereby agree and acknowledge that the Company is currently undertaking a private offering (an “Offering”) of its Membership Interests to certain prospective investors for an aggregate maximum Offering of up to eight million dollars ($8,000,000) (although the Manager reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase the maximum Offering amount hereunder by up to an additional four million dollars ($4,000,000) (resulting in an aggregate maximum Offering of up to twelve million dollars ($12,000,000), with a minimum subscription price per investor equal to $250,000 (although the Manager may accept subscriptions for lesser amounts on a case-by-case basis) in consideration for a certain Percentage Interest in the Company calculated based on such Member’s total Capital Contributions relative to all Members’ total Capital Contributions, as described in Section 3.1(a) above. Each prospective investor shall (i) subscribe for Membership Interests under this Offering by executing the Member’s signature page
to this Agreement and completing the Accredited Investor Representation Letter, attached hereto as Exhibit D; and (ii) be required to pay the subscription amount in full as provided on such prospective investor’s Member Signature Page hereof, payable to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wiring instructions to be provided by the Manager.
3.2 Additional Capital Contributions.
(a) No Member shall be required to make any Capital Contribution to the Company other than as set forth in Section 3.1 and this Section 3.2.
(b) If the Manager determines, from time to time, that additional capital (“Additional Capital”) is necessary or advisable in connection with the Company’s business or is necessary or advisable for any other Company purpose, the Manager shall request by written notice (the “Additional Capital Notice”) that each Member contribute to the capital of the Company within thirty (30) days of the Additional Capital Notice, that Member’s pro rata share, based upon such Members’ Membership Interest as compared to the aggregate amount requested to be contributed. Each contribution under this Section 3.2 shall constitute an additional Capital
Contribution (an “Additional Capital Contribution”).
(c) If a Member does not contribute its share of Additional Capital as requested under this Section 3.2 within thirty (30) days after the sending of an Additional Capital Notice (the “Non-Contributing Member”), then any other Member who has contributed its pro rata share of the Additional Capital requested in such Additional Capital Notice (the “Contributing Member”) may elect to either:
(i) make a Member Loan to the Company in an amount equal to the share of the Additional Capital Contribution that was not contributed by the Non-Contributing Member, as provided in Section 3.3 below; provided, that the Company shall deduct the distributions of Distributable Cash otherwise payable to the Non-Contributing Member for purposes of reimbursing the Company for its payment of the interest due thereon; or
(ii) contribute (on a pro rata basis or as otherwise agreed to by all the Contributing Members) to the Company the share of the Additional Capital Contribution that was not contributed by the Non-Contributing Member (and, to the extent applicable, have the right receive the applicable IRR thereon, as provided in Section 4.1 below) and the Manager will equitably dilute the Non-Contributing Member’s Membership Percentage as a result of such non- contribution and will equitably increase the Contributing Member’s Membership Percentage, all on a dollar for dollar basis, and will amend the Member Ledger accordingly. The dilution shall be calculated using the total amount of the capital not funded compared to the total capital funded.
For purposes of example only:
Assume a Non-Contributing Member had an original Membership Interest
of 25% and made an initial Capital Contribution of $50,000. In the event
such Non-Contributing Member’s pro rata share of Additional Capital
requested pursuant to Section 3.2(b) hereof was $12,500 (25% of a total of
$50,000 additional capital requested) for which such Non-Contributing
Member has failed to fund, then such Non-Contributing Member’s
Membership Interest would be revised as follows:
Original Membership Interest:
$50,000 (capital funded) = 25%
$200,000 (total capital funded)
Revised Membership Interest:
$50,000 (additional $12,500 was not funded) = 20%
$250,000 (total capital funded original
$200,000 plus $50,000 total additional
capital requested)
Notwithstanding the Additional Capital Contributions ultimately made by the Members
hereunder, each Member’s Percentage Interest shall, at all times, be calculated based on such
Member’s total Capital Contributions relative to all Members’ total Capital Contributions, as described in Section 3.1 above.
3.3 Member Loans. In the event (i) the Manager has requested Additional Capital pursuant to Section 3.2 above, and has not received the requested capital; or (ii) if the Manager reasonably determines that the Company needs immediate capital for Company expenses or obligations, the Manager may accept loans from the Members or their Affiliates or may elect to make a loan directly to the Company on terms as are readily available in the marketplace for similarly situated loans (each, a “Member Loan” and collectively, “Member Loans”). Neither the Manager nor any other Member shall have any obligation to make a Member Loan. The
Company shall not accept any Member Loans from a Member who is in default under this Agreement. Member Loans shall reduce Distributable Cash and, therefore, are repaid prior to any distribution under Article IV.
ARTICLE IV

4.1 Distributions. Subject to Section 4.4 (and except as provided in the Tax Exhibit), each distribution of Distributable Cash shall be distributed to all the Members, pro rata based upon their respective Percentage Interests in the Company.
4.2 Timing of Distributions. Distributions of Distributable Cash shall be made in such amounts and at such times as determined by the Manager, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.
4.3 Distributions of Capital.
