Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as long as IWWI is in default in the payment of expenses to the Joint Venture, any distributions of cash relating to its interest in the Joint Venture shall be withheld and offset against the amount in default or shall be applied to any loan made by Soam pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(i) above.

 

(c)  In the event that this Joint Venture is dissolved pursuant to Section 3.2(a), once distributions are made pursuant to Section 6.2 and Section 4.2, if IWWI has not received repayment of its Total Project Capital in full, it will retain a lien on the Banning 1 Lease, and will continue to receive 50% of the net profits generated from the lease until their contributions are returned in full.

 

(d)  Each of the Parties shall be required to contribute to the Joint Venture its pro rata share of any capital necessary to reimburse any other Party for expenses which are reimbursable under Section 4.4, based on each Party’s interest in the Joint Venture.
