Section 4.2 — Additional Capital Contributions

(a) Pro Rata Contributions. Following the Initial Capital Call, the Managing Member shall issue additional Capital Calls from time to time as necessary to fund costs under the Approved Budget. All additional Capital Calls shall be funded by the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests (30% by Fairwater Manager and 70% by Prescott Investor).

(b) Capital Call Notice. The Managing Member shall deliver written notice of each Capital Call to each Member, which notice shall specify: (i) the aggregate amount of the Capital Call, (ii) each Member's pro rata share, (iii) the purpose for which the funds are required (by reference to the applicable Approved Budget line item(s)), and (iv) the funding deadline, which shall be not less than fifteen (15) business days after delivery of such notice (the "Capital Call Notice Period"). The form of Capital Call notice is attached hereto as Exhibit F.

(c) Budget Compliance. All Capital Calls must be consistent with the Approved Budget. Any Capital Call for amounts not contemplated by the Approved Budget, or any Capital Call that would cause any budgeted line item to exceed the Budget Variance Threshold, shall constitute a Major Decision requiring the prior written consent of the Non-Managing Member pursuant to Section 7.2.

Section 4.3 — Capital Contribution Obligations

(a) Total Capital Commitments. The total capital commitment of each Member is as follows:

(i) Fairwater Manager: Seventy-Two Million Dollars ($72,000,000) (30% × $240,000,000); and

(ii) Prescott Investor: One Hundred Sixty-Eight Million Dollars ($168,000,000) (70% × $240,000,000).

(b) Irrevocable Obligation. Each Member's obligation to fund its pro rata share of Capital Contributions up to its total capital commitment is irrevocable and unconditional, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Capital Contribution Agreement dated as of January 12, 2026. The obligation to fund Capital Contributions shall not be subject to any right of set-off, counterclaim, abatement, or deduction.

Section 4.4 — Failure to Fund; Default Remedies

(a) Default. If a Member fails to fund all or any portion of its pro rata share of a Capital Call within the Capital Call Notice Period, such Member shall be a "Defaulting Member" and the other Member (the "Non-Defaulting Member") shall have written notice of such default delivered to the Defaulting Member.

(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of a funding default, the Non-Defaulting Member may, in its sole discretion, elect to exercise one or more of the following remedies:

(i) Default Loan. The Non-Defaulting Member may fund the Defaulting Member's unfunded share as a loan to the Defaulting Member (a "Default Loan"), bearing interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (A) eighteen percent (18%) per annum and (B) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. The Default Loan shall be repayable upon demand and shall be secured by the Defaulting Member's Membership Interest. All distributions that would otherwise be made to the Defaulting Member shall be applied first to repay the outstanding balance of the Default Loan (including accrued interest) until paid in full.

(ii) Dilutive Capital Contribution. The Non-Defaulting Member may fund the Defaulting Member's unfunded share as an additional Capital Contribution by the Non-Defaulting Member. In such event, the Defaulting Member's Percentage Interest shall be proportionally diluted on a formula basis, determined by dividing (A) the Defaulting Member's total funded Capital Contributions (excluding Default Loans) by (B) the sum of all Members' total funded Capital Contributions (excluding Default Loans), with such diluted Percentage Interest valued at the Fair Market Value of the Company Property as of the date of the default.

(iii) Forced Buy-Sell. The Non-Defaulting Member may exercise a forced buy-sell right to acquire the Defaulting Member's entire Membership Interest at a price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Fair Market Value of such Membership Interest, determined pursuant to the appraisal mechanism in Section 12.4 of this Agreement. The closing of such acquisition shall occur within sixty (60) days after the determination of Fair Market Value.

(iv) Other Remedies. The Non-Defaulting Member may pursue any other remedies available at law or in equity, including specific performance.

(c) Non-Exclusive Remedies. The remedies set forth in this Section 4.4 are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights and remedies available to the Non-Defaulting Member under this Agreement, at law, or in equity.

Section 4.5 — No Additional Capital Obligations

No Member shall be obligated to contribute capital to the Company in excess of its total capital commitment set forth in Section 4.3 without the prior written consent of such Member. Any request for capital in excess of a Member's total capital commitment shall constitute a Major Decision.

Section 4.6 — Capital Accounts

The Company shall establish and maintain a Capital Account for each Member in accordance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Member's Capital Account shall be: (a) increased by (i) such Member's Capital Contributions and (ii) allocations to such Member of Net Income and items of Company income and gain; and (b) decreased by (i) the amount of cash and the fair market value of property distributed to such Member and (ii) allocations to such Member of Net Loss and items of Company deduction and loss. If any Membership Interest is Transferred in accordance with this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred interest.
