made until the date that the loan, together with all accrued
interest, is repaid to the Lending Member;
(iv) All
amounts distributable by the Company to the Delinquent Member shall
(A) be paid to the Lending Member until the loan and all
accrued interest have been paid in full; (B) constitute a
distribution to the Delinquent Member followed by a repayment of
the loan and accrued interest from the Delinquent Member to the
Lending Member; and (C) be treated as such by all parties for
U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes;
(v) In
addition to the other rights and remedies granted to it under this
Agreement, the Lending Member has the right to take any action
available at law or in equity, at the cost and expense of the
Delinquent Member, to obtain payment from the Delinquent Member of
the unpaid balance of the loan and all accrued and unpaid interest;
and
(vi) The
Delinquent Member grants to the Company, and to each Lending Member
with respect to any loans made to that Delinquent Member, as
security, equally and ratably for the payment of all Capital
Contributions that the Delinquent Member has agreed to make and the
payment of all loans and interest accrued made by Lending Members
to that Delinquent Member, a security interest in its assets under
the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Nevada. On any default
in the payment of a required Capital Contribution or in the payment
of a loan to a Lending Member or interest accrued, the Company or
the Lending Member, as applicable, is entitled to all the rights
and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code
of the State of Nevada with respect to the security interest
granted. Each Delinquent Member hereby authorizes the Company and
each Lending Member, as applicable, to prepare and file financing
statements and other instruments that the Managing Member or the
Lending Member, as applicable, may deem necessary to effectuate and
carry out the preceding provisions of this Section.
(b) the
Non-Delinquent Members may, in proportion to their Profit Interests
or in such other percentages as they may agree (the
“Non-Delinquent Member”, whether one or more),
contribute the portion of the Delinquent Member’s Capital
Contribution that is in default, with the following results:
(i) Immediately
following the contribution by the Non-Delinquent Member of a
portion or all of the Delinquent Member’s Capital
Contribution, the Profit Interest of the Non-Delinquent Member in
the Company shall be increased and the Profit Interest of the
Delinquent Member in the Company shall be decreased, with the
result that such change in Profit Interest shall be permanent, and
the Delinquent Member shall not have the option, other than
pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), to restore its initial Profit
Interest by making a curative Capital Contribution at a later time.
The resulting “Profit Interest” of the Non-Delinquent
Member shall be the number of percentage points (rounded to the
nearest one hundredth of a percentage point) determined in
accordance with the following formula: (A) determine the
Profit Interest of the Non-Delinquent Member immediately prior to
the corresponding Subsequent Capital Contribution, (B) add the
Individual Base Profit Interest Addition corresponding to such
Member with respect to such Subsequent Capital Contribution,
-25-
and (C)
unless the Delinquent Member was not, as a Defaulting Member,
afforded the opportunity to vote for such Subsequent Capital
Contribution, add the Individual Adjusted Profit Interest Addition
corresponding to such Member with respect to such Subsequent
Capital Contribution. The resulting Profit Interest of the
Delinquent Member shall be the number of percentage points (rounded
to the nearest one hundredth of a percentage point) determined in
accordance with the following formula: (A) determine the
Profit Interest of such Delinquent Member immediately prior to the
corresponding Subsequent Capital Contribution, (B) subtract
the Individual Base Profit Interest Subtraction corresponding to
such Member with respect to such Subsequent Capital Contribution
and (C) subtract the Individual Adjusted Profit Interest
Subtraction corresponding to such Member with respect to such
Subsequent Capital Contribution. The initial Profit Interest of MGM
and DW immediately following the Closing Date shall each be 50%.
The Company shall not issue Units to any Member solely to reflect
any increase in any Member’s Profit Interest, and a
Member’s Interest shall not be deemed to increase or decrease
solely as a result of an increase or decrease in the Member’s
Profit Interest.
For the purposes of this
Section 3.4(b), (1) “Base Profit Interest” shall
mean, with respect to a Member, the percentage equivalent of a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the aggregate Capital
Contributions made to the Company by such Member pursuant to this
Agreement, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate
Capital Contributions made to the Company by all the Members
pursuant to this Agreement, (2) “ Individual Adjusted
Profit Interest Addition ” shall mean the product of
(i) 0.5 and (ii) the difference between (A) the Base
Profit Interest of such Member immediately after the
corresponding Subsequent Capital Contribution and (B) the Base
Profit Interest of such Member immediately prior to such
Subsequent Capital Contribution, (3) “ Individual Base
Profit Interest Addition ” shall mean the difference
between (A) the Base Profit Interest of such Member
immediately after such Subsequent Capital Contribution and
(B) the Base Profit Interest of such Member immediately
prior to such Subsequent Capital Contribution, (4) “
Individual Adjusted Profit Interest Subtraction ”
shall mean the product of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the difference
between (A) the Base Profit Interest of such Member
immediately prior to such Subsequent Capital Contribution
and (B) the Base Profit Interest of such Member immediately
after such Subsequent Capital Contribution, and (5) “
Individual Base Profit Interest Subtraction ” shall
mean the difference between (A) the Base Profit Interest of such
Member immediately prior to such Subsequent Capital
Contribution and (B) the Base Profit Interest of such Member
immediately after such Subsequent Capital
Contribution.
By way of illustration, assume that
(A) the Base Profit Interest and the Profit Interest of each
Member is fifty percent (50%), in each case, immediately prior to a
Subsequent Capital Contribution; (B) each of the parties have
made a prior Capital Contribution of $3,000,000,000; (C) the
Members approve a Subsequent Capital Contribution pursuant to
Section 3.3 in the amount of $500,000,000, and (D) DW
contributes only $150,000,000 (versus $250,000,000). If MGM
contributes the $100,000,000 shortfall by DW in addition to its own
$250,000,000 pro rata share of the Capital Contribution, the
resulting Profit Interest of MGM following such contribution would
be 52.31%, determined as follows:
Base
Profit Interest of MGM after the Subsequent Capital
Contribution:
-26-
[$3,000,000,000
plus $350,000,000] divided by [$6,500,000,000] =
51.54%
Base Profit
Interest of MGM prior to the Subsequent Capital Contribution:
50%
Individual
Adjusted Profit Interest Addition of MGM as a result of the
Subsequent Capital Contribution:
(51.54%-50%) x
0.5 = 0.77%
Individual Base
Profit Interest Addition of MGM as a result of the Subsequent
Capital Contribution:
(51.54%-50%) =
1.54%
Profit Interest
of MGM after the Subsequent Capital Contribution:
50% + 1.54% +
0.77% = 52.31%.
Accordingly,
the resulting Profit Interest of MGM would be 52.31%.
Assume that,
following such Subsequent Capital Contribution, each of the Members
approve a second Subsequent Capital Contribution pursuant to
Section 3.3 in the amount of $100,000,000, and DW fails to
contribute any of such second Subsequent Capital Contribution. If
MGM contributes the $50,000,000 shortfall by DW in addition to its
own $50,000,000 pro rata share of the second Subsequent Capital
Contribution, the resulting Profit Interest of MGM following such
contribution would be 53.41%, determined as follows:
Base Profit
Interest of MGM after the second Subsequent Capital Contribution:
[$3,000,000,000 plus $350,000,000 plus $100,000,000]
divided by [$6,600,000,000] = 52.27%
Base Profit
Interest of MGM immediately prior to the second Subsequent Capital
Contribution: [$3,000,000,000 plus $350,000,000] divided by
[$6,500,000,000] = 51.54%
Individual
Adjusted Profit Interest Addition of MGM as a result of the second
Subsequent Capital Contribution:
(52.27%-51.54%)
x 0.5 = 0.37%
Individual Base
Profit Interest Addition of MGM as a result of the second
Subsequent Capital Contribution:
(52.27%-51.54%)
= 0.73%
-27-
Profit Interest
of MGM immediately prior to the second Subsequent Capital
Contribution:
52.31%.
Profit Interest
of MGM after the second Subsequent Capital Contribution:
52.31% + 0.73% + 0.37% = 53.41%.
Section 3.5
Additional Remedies for Failure to Make a Capital
Contribution . In addition to the remedies provided under
Section 3.4, the Company may, on notice to a Delinquent
Member, take such action, at the cost and expense of the Delinquent
Member, to obtain payment by the Delinquent Member of the portion
of the Delinquent Member’s Capital Contribution that is in
default, together with interest on that amount at the Default
Interest Rate from the date that the Capital Contribution was due
until the date that it is made, provided, however, that in the
event that a Member fails to make its Initial Capital Contribution
within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of written
notice from the other Member that the Initial Capital Contribution
is due, then such Delinquent Member shall also be required to pay
the other Member an “inconvenience fee” equal to ten
percent (10%) of any Capital Contribution shortfall. The Delinquent
Member’s obligation to make Capital Contributions or repay
any loan to a Lending Member shall be recourse to such Delinquent
Member (except to the extent and after such time that the
Non-Delinquent Member elects to make a contribution of any portion
of the Delinquent Member’s Capital Contribution). The
Delinquent Member shall have direct liability for the Delinquent
Member’s obligation to make Capital Contributions or repay
any loan to a Lending Member.
Section 3.6
Capital Accounts .
(a) There
shall be maintained for each Member a separate capital account
(“Capital Account”) which shall be governed and
maintained throughout the existence of the Company in accordance
with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Member’s
Capital Account shall be increased by (A) the amount of money
contributed by such Member to the Company, (B) the Gross Asset
Value of any property contributed by such Member to the Company
(net of liabilities securing such contributed property that the
Company is considered to assume or take subject to pursuant to Code
Section 752), (C) the amount of any Profits allocated to
such Member and any items in the nature of income or gain which are
specially allocated to such Member hereunder, and (D) the
amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or which
are secured by any property distributed to such Member. A
Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (X) the
amount of money and the Gross Asset Value of any property
distributed to such Member by the Company (net of liabilities
securing such distributed property that such Member is considered
to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752), (Y) the
amount of any Losses allocated to such Member and any items in the
nature of expenses or losses which are specially allocated to such
Member hereunder, and (Z) the amount of any liabilities of
such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any
property contributed by such Member to the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding
Section 3.6(a) above, the principal amount of a promissory
note which is not readily traded on an established securities
market and which is contributed to the Company by the maker of the
note (or a person related to the maker of the note within the
meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)) shall not
be included in the Capital Account of any person until the Company
makes a taxable disposition of the note or until (and to the
extent) principal payments are made on the note, all in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(2).
(c) Upon
the Transfer of a Member’s Unit in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital
Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the
transferred Unit.
(d) The
foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement
relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to
comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be
interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such
Regulations. In the event that at any time during the existence of
the Company the Tax Matters Partner, with the advice of legal
counsel or accountants, shall determine that it is prudent to
modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or
credits thereto, are computed in order to comply with such
Regulations, the Tax Matters Partner may make such
modification.
Section 3.7
Return of Capital . Except as specifically provided herein,
no Member may withdraw capital from the Company. To the extent any
cash that any Member is entitled to receive pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement would constitute a return of capital,
each of the Members consents to the withdrawal of such capital. If
any capital is, or is to be, returned to a Member, the Member shall
not have the right to receive property other than cash, except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. No interest shall
be payable on the Capital Contributions made by the Members to the
Company. The Members hereby agree that any payment received by MGM
or its Affiliate pursuant to an Additional Agreement shall not be
deemed a withdrawal of capital by, or a return of capital to, MGM
or its Affiliates.
Section 3.8
Gross Asset Value .
(a) “
Gross Asset Value ” means, with respect to any asset,
the asset’s adjusted basis for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, except as follows:
(i) The
initial Gross Asset Value for any asset (other than money)
contributed by a Member to the Company shall be as determined by
the Members by unanimous approval; provided, however, that, to the
extent not previous included in the initial Gross Asset Value, the
initial Gross Asset Value for the Initial Capital Contribution of
MGM shall be adjusted to include the corresponding adjustments made
pursuant to Sections 3.2(b)(iii) and 3.2(b)(v) hereof. In
connection with the initial Gross Asset Value for the Initial
Capital Contribution (other than money), the Tax Matters Partner
shall provide to the Members no later than one hundred eighty
(180) days after the date of such contribution, a proposed
allocation of the initial Gross Asset Value among the corresponding
Capital Contribution (other than money) made by a Member (the
“ Allocation Statement ”). The Allocation
Statement shall be based upon an appraisal of corresponding Capital
Contribution prepared by a independent, qualified
-29-
appraiser engaged by the Tax Matters Partner at the Company’s
expense. Within fourteen (14) days following the date of
delivery of such Allocation Statement for the corresponding Capital
Contribution, the Members shall have the right to object to such
Allocation Statement (by written notice to the Tax Matters
Partner), and if any Member so objects, such Member shall provide a
written notice of such objection to the Tax Matters Partner setting
forth in detail each of the disputed items in the Allocation
Statement and the basis for such objection. If no Member provides
the Tax Matters Partner with a written notice of such objection
within such fourteen (14)-day period, the Allocation Statement
shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed upon by each of
the Members, and shall set forth the final and conclusive Gross
Asset Value for such Capital Contribution. To the extent that a
Member provides a written objection to an Allocation Statement, the
Members shall act in good faith to resolve any such objection or
dispute as promptly as practicable. If the Members cannot resolve
any such disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by
the Company Accountants as promptly as practicable. The fees and
expenses of the Company Accountants shall be paid by the
Company.
(ii) The
Gross Asset Value of all Company assets shall be adjusted to equal
their respective gross fair market values, as Approved by the Board
of Directors, as of the following times: (i) the acquisition of
additional Units in the Company by any new or existing Member in
exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution;
(ii) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than
a de minimis amount of cash or property as consideration for Units
in the Company, if (in any such event) such adjustment is necessary
or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Members, to
reflect the relative economic interests of the Members in the
Company; (iii) the liquidation of the Company for U.S. federal
income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704
1(b)(2)(ii)(g); or (iv) the grant of an interest in the
Company (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the
provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company by an
existing Member acting in a Member capacity, or by a new Member
acting in a Member capacity or in anticipation of being a
Member;
(iii) The
Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to any Member
shall be adjusted to equal its gross fair market value on the date
of distribution;
(iv) The
Gross Asset Value of the Company’s assets shall be increased
(or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of
such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code
Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments
are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to
Regulation Section 1.704 1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and
Section 3.8(c) hereof; provided, however, that Gross Asset
Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.8(a)(iv) to
the extent that an adjustment pursuant to Section 3.8(a)(ii)
of this definition is necessary or appropriate in connection with a
transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant
to this Section 3.8(a)(iv); and
(v) If
the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted
pursuant to Sections 7.2(a)(i), 7.2(a)(ii) or 7.2(a)(iv) above,
such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be adjusted by the
Depreciation taken into account from time to time with respect to
such asset for purposes of computing Profits and Losses.
-30-
(b) Upon
the occurrence of any event specified in Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Members, by unanimous
approval, may cause the Capital Accounts of the Members to be
adjusted to reflect the Gross Asset Value of the Company’s
assets at such time in accordance with such Regulation if the
Members, by unanimous approval, determines that the Gross Asset
Value of the Company’s assets has materially appreciated or
depreciated in such an amount so as to render such adjustment
necessary to preserve the economic arrangement of the
Members.
(c) To
the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company
asset under Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken
into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to
Regulations Section 1.704 1(b)(2)(iv)( m ), the amount
of such 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 such basis), and such 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 such section of the
Regulations.
