MEMBERSHIP
Section 3.1Capital Contributions. The Profits Members shall make the initial capital contributions to the Series in connection with their purchase of SCS Profits Units (as defined below), as set forth on the books and records of this Series. The Series Members shall not make any additional capital contributions to the Company other than in connection with a purchase of additional SCS Profits Units.
Section 3.2Units.
(a)This Series is authorized to sell and issue 1 Membership Unit and 159,424.61 Profits Units, which shall be comprised of the following classes: 9,424.61 Class CF Profits Units (“Class CF Profits Units”) and 150,000 Class A Profits Units (“Class A Profits Units” and together the “SCS Profits Units”). Each Profits Member’s interest in this Series is represented by SCS Profits Units of this Series, and each Voting Member’s interest in this Series is represented by Membership Units of this Series, each having identical rights and privileges, except as provided herein and in the Company Agreement. Outstanding Units shall be shown on the books and records of this Series. The “Maximum Number of Profits Units" for purposes of this Agreement shall mean the lesser of (i) 159,424.61 Profits Units and (ii) the number of Profits Units Outstanding immediately following the termination and final closing of the offering of Class A Profit Units, as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion.
(a)Preferred Returns. Distributions shall be made to holders of SCS Profits Units until the SCS Preferred Returns (as defined below) payable under this Section 3.3 have been paid in full, prior to making any distributions or payments under Section 3.3(d) hereof.
(i)Class A Profit Units. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Company Agreement, with respect to this Series, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time as reasonably determined by the Manager, including compliance with the Act) following this Series’ sale of a Project to a production company (which may be dependent on its receipt of complete production financing for a Project), this Series, or the Manager on behalf of this Series, shall pay
Page 5 of 11
and deliver to each Profits Member who holds Class A Profits Units a cash payment equal to 36.66% (36.68% with respect to the third payment) of such Profits Member’s total Capital Contributions related to such Class A Profits Units, not to exceed three (3) such payments with respect to three (3) total Projects of this Series (the “Class A Preferred Return”).
(ii)Class CF Profits Units. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Company Agreement, with respect to this Series, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period of time as reasonably determined by the Manager) following this Series’ sale of a Project to a production company (which may be dependent on its receipt of complete production financing for a Project), this Series, or the Manager on behalf of this Series, shall pay and deliver to each Profits Member who holds Class CF Profits Units a cash payment calculated based on a percentage, as set forth in such Profits Member’s Subscription Agreement, of each Profits Member’s total Capital Contributions related to such Class CF Profits Units, not to exceed three (3) such payments with respect to three (3) total Projects (the “Class CF Preferred Return” and, together with the Class A Base Distributions, the “SCS Preferred Returns”).
(b)Payment of SCS Preferred Returns shall be made to all holders of SCS Profits Units contemporaneously and on a pro rata basis in proportion to their percentage of SCS Profits Units in this Series relative to all of the SCS Profits Units of this Series issued and Outstanding at the time of such payment.
(c)For avoidance of doubt, SCS Preferred Returns are only “earned,” for purposes of the definition of Unpaid Yield in the Company Agreement, upon the sale of a Project as specified above. As an example, if the Series only sells one Project to a production company and fails to sell any other Projects, the total amount of the Class A Preferred Return payable to a holder of Class A Profits Units representing a total Capital Contribution of $1,000 will be equal to $366.60 and the Unpaid Yield would equal the portion of that $366.60 that remains unpaid at the relevant date of determination.
(d)Distributable Cash. Notwithstanding the definition in the Company Agreement, as used in this Series Agreement, “Distributable Cash” means all monies actually received by this Series, including in connection with the worldwide exhibition of any of this Series’ film Projects in all mediums inclusive of those known and those hereafter devised, and all markets, net of an industry standard reserve percentage to cover residual payments as required by applicable guild and/or union agreements (by way of an example, the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of America), sales fees/sales expenses, and third-party sales and distribution-related contractual expenses and costs, deferments approved by the Manager, industry-standard development and production contractual obligations (including financing repayment obligations), non-investor third-party net profit payments, if any, and development sunk costs reimbursements, if any; minus (1) any amounts paid or contractually payable to, or reserved by, the Manager in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Company Agreement (excluding the Service Fee), (2) any Unpaid Yield, (3) Operating Expenses, (to the extent not duplicative) and (4) any Reserves (to the extent not duplicative), as applicable. The Manager shall evaluate Distributable Cash at such intervals as it determines in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Company Agreement, with respect to this Series, provided that the Maximum Number of Profits Units have been issued and the aggregate Unpaid Yield with respect to all Profits Members of this Series has been reduced to zero (0), Distributable Cash, if any, will be distributed in the order described below:
Page 6 of 11
(i)50% to the Profits Members of the Series (ratably among such Profits Members in proportion to their percentage of SCS Profits Units in this Series relative to all of the SCS Profits Units of this Series issued and outstanding), and
(ii)50% as a Service Fee to the Manager.
(e)Membership Units. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Company Agreement, no distributions shall be made with respect to Membership Units.
Section 3.4Withdrawal or Reduction of Series Members’ Contributions to Capital. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Series Member may not receive any part of such Series Member’s capital contributions until all other liabilities of the Series have been paid or there remains property of the Series sufficient to pay such other liabilities. A Series Member shall not be entitled to demand or receive from the Series the liquidation of such Series Member’s Units until the Series is dissolved in accordance with the provisions hereof or other applicable provisions of the Act and the Company Agreement.
Section 3.5Restrictions on Transferability. Restrictions on transferability shall be governed by the provisions set forth in the Company Agreement.
Section 3.6Information Rights. This Series will deliver financial reports related to each Project, in such detail as determined by Manager in its sole discretion, to each Series Member, on a quarterly basis during the first two (2) years following each such Project’s release and annually thereafter, until such time as, if ever, the Projects are no longer generating profits or until this Series or the Company is terminated or dissolved, whichever occurs first. Such financial report may be delivered to Series Members by filing such reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a filing on Form 1-U, Form 1-SA, Form 1-K or similar filing.
