DESCRIPTION OF THE OFFER About This Term Sheet: The information in this Term Sheet is accurate only as of the

date of this Term Sheet, regardless of the time of delivery or of sale of Units. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Term Sheet to “we,” “our,” “us” or the “Company” refer to the Residential Opportunity Fund, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company. References to “investors,” “you” and “your” refer to the individuals to whom we have sent this Term Sheet. References to this Term Sheet include all the exhibits hereto.

Description of the Company: The Company is a newly-formed Arizona limited liability

company that anticipates investing in multiple real estate properties. We intend to raise between $3,000,000 and $10,000,000 to acquire the properties, although the Manager may decrease or increase the size of the offering in the Manager’s sole discretion. We will target substantially undervalued single family residential properties located in Arizona and potentially elsewhere. We may also cause the Company to acquire other types of real estate (unimproved, improved non-residential, etc.) that we determine to be sufficiently undervalued. Please see the Project Overview attached as Exhibit B for additional information regarding the Company and its strategy.

The Properties: The Company is a “blind pool.” As of the date of this

Term Sheet, we have begun the process of acquiring some properties and have performed research on many more. We plan to continue to be opportunistic in our acquisitions.

Securities Offered; Offering Term: We are offering 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 units in the

Residential Opportunity Fund, LLC (the “Units”). The Manager, however, may decrease or increase the size of the offering in its sole and absolute discretion. We may offer Units through August, 2009, but the Manager may extend the time for offering Units for up to such additional time as the Manager, in its sole and absolute discretion, reasonably determines is in our best interest.

Minimum Purchase; Unit Price: The minimum subscription by a Member will be $25,000,

subject to reduction at the discretion of the Manager. We reserve the right to accept partial subscriptions on a case-by-case basis in our sole discretion. The issue price for Units issued by the Company shall be $1.00 per Unit.

3

Page 4: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

Placement Agents and Fees: The Manager and the Company reserve the right to engage registered broker-dealers or placement agents (the “Broker-Dealers”) to effectuate offers and sales of the Units on a “best efforts” basis. Commissions or fees paid to such Broker-Dealers will be paid out of the proceedings of this offering. It is anticipated that such fees or commissions will not exceed 8% of the Units offered or sold by the Broker-Dealers.

Manager: The Manager of the Company is Coleman & Associates, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company controlled by Jerry Coleman.

Subscription of Manager: The Manager and/or its affiliates may, but are not obligated

to, subscribe for Units along with other investors. Issuance of Additional Units: If the Company requires additional funds in excess of the

funds initially raised, then the existing Members will be given the opportunity to contribute additional capital to the Company. If the existing Members decline to contribute the required amount of additional capital to the Company, then the Company may issue additional Units and the interests of the existing Members will be diluted. While it does not appear that we will need additional funding, we cannot assure you that we will not need additional funding in the future.

Company Documentation: The Company’s Articles of Organization (the “Articles”) and

Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) are attached as Exhibit C. The Articles were filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission on May 20, 2009. You should carefully review all of these documents.

Term: The Company’s term will continue until the happening of

certain events set forth in the Operating Agreement. Property Closings: The timing on the closing of any property will depend largely

on when (i) an opportunity is found, (ii) appropriate due diligence is completed, and (iii) a contract is negotiated and signed.

Expenses: Each Member will be responsible for his own legal, tax and

accounting expenses and any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Member’s subscription, and such Member’s admission to, or the maintenance of such Member’s Units in, the Company.

4

Page 5: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

The Manager will not use the Company’s assets for its own normal day-to-day operating expenses, such as the cost of office space, office equipment, communications, utilities and other such normal overhead expenses. The Manager will use the Company’s assets for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the research, analysis, acquisition, repair, maintenance, management, lease, financing and ultimate sale of the properties, including the legal, accounting and other consulting or professional services that may be required for the Manager to effectively investigate, acquire, manage, lease and ultimately sell the properties.

The Company will be responsible for all of its other expenses

including the following:

(i) all expenses incurred in connection with Company operations, including the purchase, holding, repair, maintenance, management, improvement, lease, proposed lease, sale or proposed sale of the properties (including legal and accounting fees);

(ii) costs and fees relating to the preparation of financial

and tax reports, property valuations and tax returns of the Company;

(iii) all costs related to the Company’s indemnification of

the Manager and its affiliates;

(iv) interest on and fees and expenses arising out of all permitted borrowings made by the Company;

(v) the costs of any litigation, director and officer liability

or other insurance and indemnification or extraordinary expense or liability relating to the affairs of the Company;

(vi) all costs relating to investment transactions that are

not consummated, including legal, accounting and consulting fees, and all professional fees incurred in connection with the business or management of the Company;

(vii) all expenses of liquidating the Company; and

(viii) any taxes, fees or other governmental charges levied

against the Company or the properties and all

5

Page 6: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

expenses incurred in connection with any tax audit, investigation, settlement or review of the Company.

Incurrence of Indebtedness: While we foresee acquisitions being purchased with

company funds, we may borrow some funds, as discussed in the Operating Agreement, to pay (i) a portion of the purchase prices for the properties, and/or (ii) current or future costs associated with the ownership, operation and management of the properties.

Management Fee: During the Company’s term, on or prior to the fifth day of

each month, the Company will pay, in arrears, the Manager a management fee (the “Management Fee”) equal to 1.5% per annum of the Total Deployable Funds for the immediately preceding month. The “Total Deployable Funds” for a particular month shall be an amount equal to (a) the aggregate Capital Contributions of all the Members as of the last day of a particular month, plus (b) the aggregate amount of borrowed funds or other indebtedness of the Company outstanding as of the last day of a particular month and used to pay (i) a portion of the purchase prices for the properties, and/or (ii) current or future costs associated with the ownership, operation and management of the properties. If the Manager determines, in its discretion, that the Company does not have sufficient cash flow to pay the entire Management Fee with respect to a particular month, then the Manager may elect to cause the Company to defer payment of some or all of the Management Fee for that particular month, and any such deferred portion of the Management Fee shall be paid on the date on which the next succeeding Management Fee payment is due, or as soon thereafter as practicable.

Operating Distributions: Distributions of net cash flow realized by the Company from

the sale and lease of the properties will be made, at least monthly, to the Unit Holders in the following order of priority:

(i) first, 100% to the Unit Holders until the Unit Holders

receive a simple (noncompounded) 8% per annum return on their unreturned invested capital;

(ii) second, 100% to Coleman & Associates until

Coleman & Associates has received an amount equal to 42.857% of the total amount distributed to the Members pursuant to clause (i) above; and

6

Page 7: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

(iii) third, (1) 70% to the Unit Holders in proportion to

their Units, and (2) 30% Coleman & Associates. Optional Capital Distributions: At any time prior to the date on which the Unreturned Capital

Contributions of all Unit Holders are reduced to zero, the Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause the Company to make one or more special distributions of cash to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Unreturned Capital Contributions, in which case the Unreturned Capital Contributions of each recipient Unit Holder shall be reduced by the amount of the special distribution received by that Unit Holder.

Tax Distributions: In addition to the above distributions, if funds are available,

distributions will be made to the Members in amounts intended to cover their tax obligations as further described in the Operating Agreement.

Tax Allocations and Issues: Income, expenses, gains and losses will generally be

allocated to the Members in a manner designed to maintain Member capital accounts consistent with the distribution of proceeds from investments as described above.

Withdrawal: Voluntary withdrawal by Members from the Company will

not be permitted. In certain circumstances, however, a Member may be required to withdraw if such Member’s continued participation in the Company would result in a violation of ERISA or other laws or could otherwise be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Transfer of Units: The Units will be subject to restrictions on resale designed to

ensure that we comply with applicable securities laws and to satisfy certain tax law considerations. In addition, all proposed transfers will be subject to other restrictions under our Operating Agreement (including a right of first refusal in favor of the Company and the other Members).

Dissolution: Upon dissolution, the Company will be wound-up and

liquidated. The Manager shall proceed with the orderly sale or liquidation of the assets of the Company and shall apply and distribute the proceeds of such sale or liquidation in the following order of priority, unless otherwise required by law:

(i) first, to pay all expenses of liquidation;

7

Page 8: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

(ii) second, to pay all creditors of the Company (including Members who are creditors) in the order of priority provided by law or otherwise;

(iii) third, to the establishment of any reserve that the

Manager may deem necessary (such reserve may be paid over to an escrow agent); and

(iv) fourth, in accordance with the following order of

priority:

a. first, to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Unreturned Capital Contributions, until the Unreturned Capital Contributions of all Unit Holders are reduced to zero; and

b. second, to the Unit Holders and Coleman &

Associates in the order of priority described in clauses (i) through (iii) above under “Operating Distributions.”

Indemnification: The Company will indemnify, to the maximum extent

permitted by law, the Manager and each of its members, managers, employees, affiliates and assigns against liabilities, claims and related expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by reason of any action performed or omitted in connection with the activities of the Company or in dealing with third parties on behalf of the Company if such action or decision not to act was taken in good faith and does not constitute fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Financial Reporting: The Manager will provide the Members with financial

information relating to the Company and the properties upon written request.

Meetings: We may, at the Manager’s sole discretion, hold an annual

meeting of the Members. Special meetings may be called by the Manager or any Member or Members who collectively hold greater than 10% of the Units.

Use of Proceeds: We intend to use approximately 90% of the proceeds of this

offering to acquire properties. We intend to use the remaining funds to (i) pay for costs associated with the properties, including property taxes, consulting fees, other professional service fees, and any other costs associated with acquiring, holding and disposing of the properties, (ii)

8

Page 9: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

reimburse the Manager (or its affiliates) for due diligence work, copies of documents relating to the properties, legal fees, and placement fees or commissions, and (iii) establish reserves for the payment of the Management Fee due to the Manager. Pending use, the Manager may invest the funds in government securities, money market accounts or other cash items, or other similar investments that the Manager deems appropriate.

Sales to Accredited Investors: We will sell the Units only to “accredited investors” as such

term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Act. Individuals seeking to qualify as accredited investors must either (i) have (along with his or her spouse) a net worth that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase or (ii) have had an individual income in excess of $200,000 (or joint income with his/her spouse that exceeds $300,000) in 2007 and 2008 and have a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level (or joint income level) in 2009. Accredited investors also include (a) any employee benefit plan (1) if the investment decision is made by a fiduciary which is a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company or registered investment advisor, or (2) if the plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000, or (3) if a self-directed plan, the investment decisions are made solely by persons who are accredited investors; (b) any organization under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and any corporation, or partnership not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered with total assets in excess of $5,000,000; (c) any trust with assets in excess of $5,000,000 not formed for the purpose of buying the securities offered, the purchase of which is directed by a sophisticated person as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii); and (d) any entity in which all equity owners are accredited investors.

Subscription Agreement: The purchase of Units will be made pursuant to a

Subscription Agreement, which contains, among other things, certain customary representations and warranties by the investors and indemnification by investors for claims arising out of the representations and warranties.

Method of Subscription: Each person desiring to purchase Units must execute and

deliver to the Company the Subscription Agreement and Questionnaire, a form of which is attached as Exhibit D to this Term Sheet. The Subscription Agreement and Questionnaire must be submitted together with a signed signature page to the Operating Agreement and a check

payable to the order of “RESIDENTIAL OPPORTUNITY FUND, LLC” or wired funds, in each case in an amount equal to the total purchase price payable for the number of Units acquired. THERE IS NO MINIMIMUM DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WE MUST RAISE TO COMPLETE THE OFFERING, THERE WILL BE NO ESCROW OF FUNDS, AND FUNDS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR COMPANY USE UPON RECEIPT.

Forward-Looking Information: This Term Sheet contains forward-looking statements that

involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. These statements relate to future events or our future sales or financial performance. All statements in this Term Sheet other than statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding our strategy, future operations, financial projections, prospects, plans and objectives of the Manager, population growth projections and home price appreciation projections. In some instances, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “continue,” “potential,” or “opportunity,” the negative of these terms or other comparable terms.

Forward-looking statements in this Term Sheet are only

predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the Risk Factors attached as Exhibit A and other risk factors described elsewhere in this Term Sheet. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. This Term Sheet also contains forward-looking statements attributed to third parties relating to their estimates regarding population growth or the growth of our markets.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the

forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot and do not guarantee future results, performance or achievements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Term Sheet. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this Term Sheet to conform them to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

EXHIBIT A

RISK FACTORS THE UNITS ARE SPECULATIVE AND INVOLVE A HIGH DEGREE OF RISK. ACCORDINGLY, YOU SHOULD NOT INVEST IN THE UNITS IF YOU LACK SUFFICIENT MEANS TO SUSTAIN THE LOSS OF PART OR ALL OF YOUR INVESTMENT. YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS BEFORE MAKING A DECISION TO PURCHASE UNITS:

1. Current Down Real Estate Market, Impact on Projections and Population Growth Assumptions. Our business strategy depends on buying houses at favorable prices and then selling them within three to five years after the offering. Although we believe current market conditions present buying opportunities, we cannot assure you that Arizona home prices will not decline further from today’s levels. There is still an extensive and near record amount of unabsorbed housing inventory on the market, and the housing market is expected to be weak for the foreseeable future, with continued downward pressure on housing prices. Some local economists now believe that, although the long-term economic outlook remains favorable, Arizona housing prices will not bottom out until late 2009 or 2010, and that a full recovery, i.e., when supply and demand are back in balance and prices go back up, will probably take three to five years. Continued downward pressure on housing prices could materially and adversely impact our ability to sell homes profitably and/or within the anticipated timeframe.

In addition, the United States economy has experienced an unprecedented crises resulting in the failure, sale or government seizure of multiple financial institutions, investment banks and insurance companies, including Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, Bear Stearns, Indy Mac, Washington Mutual Bank, Merrill Lynch, AIG and others. The continued deterioration and/or collapse of the credit markets and United States banking system is likely to materially and adversely impact our ability to acquire and sell homes profitably and/or within the anticipated timeframe.

The Company’s opportunities depend in part upon continued population growth in Arizona. Exhibit B contains certain projections of Arizona population growth from the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2005 projections. Various planners, economists and government officials now believe that the housing boom of 2003-2006 has artificially inflated the growth projections made by various sources. For example, Arizona and U.S. Census Bureau estimates showed a record of 196,000 people moved to the Phoenix area during 2005 in the height of the housing boom. The large number of investor-purchased homes during the boom, however, artificially inflated the numbers. For example, a record of 62,000 new homes were built in metro Phoenix during 2005, but only 40,000 of those were bought by people who moved into them. Several months ago, projection estimates showed 105,000 people moving to Phoenix in 2008, and that figure was recently adjusted to 85,000. The State of Arizona and local economists are working on new models to project population growth. In short, although the Arizona population is expected to continue growing, it is not currently expected to grow at the rates previously predicted and included in Exhibit B. Any slow down in population growth could adversely impact our ability to market the properties for sale or lease.

Page 14: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

2. Real Estate Market Cyclicality and Vulnerability to Economic and Other Conditions; Variability of Returns. Traditionally, the real estate industry is cyclical in nature. It may experience dramatic swings in value. Real estate has generally appreciated in value over long periods of time. However, we cannot assure you that appreciation will continue to occur, and the real estate market has softened significantly in the past few years. In particular, the Arizona real estate market, in which we expect to focus our efforts, has experienced significant downward pricing pressure in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

In addition, the real estate industry is significantly affected by changes in economic conditions, the supply of property, the supply of homes and commercial buildings, changes in governmental regulation (including uncertainties involving the entitlement process in the improvement of undeveloped land), increase in real estate taxes, energy costs and costs of materials and labor, the availability and cost of suitable land, environmental factors, weather and the availability of financing rates and on terms acceptable to developers, builders and buyers. Increases in interest rates could have an adverse affect on our business. Higher interest rates may reduce the demand for homes and residential commercial development. In addition, when purchasing distressed properties there is potential for unforeseen issues to arise, including, but not limited to, physical damage done to the homes, latent defects in construction, liens not fully released, additional costs such as HOA deficiencies, etc. Because the real estate industry is driven by many external factors, investment returns may vary significantly. Many factors affect returns, including acquisition costs, cost of services and entitlements, utility costs, financing costs, real estate tax rates and general economic conditions. Moreover, intangible events such as acts of God, crime, shifts in demographics, job growth, traffic congestion and other factors can affect real estate value. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we will realize positive investment returns.

3. “Blind Pool” Offering. This is a “blind pool” offering because, although we have

begun to identify potential investments, we will continue throughout the term of this project to acquire additional properties. You will not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments prior to our making them. You must rely totally upon the Manager’s ability to select our investments. We will seek to invest substantially all of the offering proceeds available for investment, after the payment of fees and expenses, in the acquisition of residential real estate properties located primarily in Arizona.

4. Lack of Diversification; Risks Associated with the Properties. We expect to primarily target residential properties located in Arizona, but we may also consider and purchase other properties located in other markets. Real estate markets vary greatly from location to location, and our purchase of expected residential properties primarily (if not solely) within Arizona is more risky than if we invested in more locations. If we do not sell the targeted minimum number of Units, the value of your investment may fluctuate more widely according to the performance of our investments in each property we acquire. There is greater risk that you will lose money in your investment if we do not diversify our portfolio of properties by geographic location and property type.

5. No Minimum; Impact on Diversification; Immediate Use of Offering Proceeds. Although we intend to raise $3,000,000 to $10,000,000, the $3,000,000 is a target

2

Page 15: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

only, and there is no minimum dollar amount that we must raise to complete the offering. The number of properties we will acquire and the diversification of our investments will be reduced to the extent that we do not raise the intended amount. There is a greater risk that you will lose money in your investment if we cannot diversify our portfolio of properties as anticipated. We may use the proceeds of this offering immediately as and when we accept subscriptions. Funds will not be escrowed or placed in a separate account, but will be intermingled into our general bank account. We may elect to withdraw the offer for any reason, in our sole discretion, prior to issuing and selling any Units, in which case, the proposed subscriber for Units will receive a refund of the funds delivered to us.

6. Timing and Lack of Assurance of Distributions. While we do intend to make distributions in the foreseeable future, we cannot guarantee that distributions will be made. Even if one or more properties are sold for a profit, we cannot assure you that you will receive distributions in an amount equal to your investment. In addition, the properties are expected to be illiquid and are not expected to generate any material income or distributions prior to their sale. We do not expect that the Company will sell all of the properties and wind up its activities within two to three years. Accordingly, you may have to wait several years after the date of your investment before you receive any significant distributions, if any.

7. Start-Up Stage Business. The Company was organized as an Arizona limited liability company on May 20, 2009. We are still in the start-up stage and have no past revenues. Our proposed business plan is subject to all business risks associated with new business enterprises, including the absence of an operating history upon which to evaluate an investment. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a new business, the development of new strategy and the competitive environment in which we will operate. It is possible that we will incur a loss in the future. We cannot guarantee that we will be profitable.

8. Competition. The real estate industry is intensely competitive, and if we fail to successfully compete in this industry, our business will be harmed. We compete with both traditional real estate companies and private individuals attempting to pursue the same business strategy. There is intense competition to purchase and sell real estate. This competition may thwart our efforts to identify buyers. We face competition from a number of large real estate companies that have expertise in developing niches and buying and selling properties in an effective manner. While our objective is to develop a niche and market that may be less competitive than other real estate markets, there is no guarantee that we can maintain a competitive position. Moreover, there are no significant barriers to entry that would prevent additional competition from entering into our market segment. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will be able to invest our capital on favorable terms.

9. Delays in Locating Properties. We could suffer from delays in locating suitable properties for investment. Delays we encounter in the selection and acquisition of properties could delay distributions and adversely affect your returns from this investment.

10. General Regulatory and Environmental Risks. The properties will be subject to various federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations, including, among

3

Page 16: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

others, zoning and land use ordinances, building, plumbing and electrical codes, contractors’ licensing laws and health and safety regulations and laws. Various localities have imposed (or may in the future impose) fees to fund, among other things, schools, road improvements and low and moderate income housing. From time to time, various localities may restrict or place moratoriums on the availability of water and sewer taps. Additionally, various localities have proposed or enacted growth initiatives restricting the number of building permits available in any given year. Further, our operations may also be affected by environmental considerations pertaining to, among other things, availability of water, municipal sewage treatment capacity, land use, hazardous wastes disposal, naturally occurring radioactive materials, building materials, population density and preservation of the natural terrain and vegetation (collectively, “Environmental Laws”). We cannot assure you that these general regulatory issues and Environmental Laws will not have an adverse impact on the properties or on our business, operating results and financial condition.

11. Potential Environmental Obligations. By becoming an owner of the properties, we may become liable for unforeseen environmental obligations. Under applicable Environmental Laws, any owner of real property may be fully liable for the costs involved in cleaning up any contamination by materials hazardous to the environment. Even though we might be entitled to indemnification from the person that caused the contamination, we cannot assure you that the responsible person would be able to indemnify us to the full extent of our liability. Further, we still would have costs and administrative expenses for which we may not be entitled to indemnification.

12. Dependence Upon Manager and Key Personnel. Subject to very limited exceptions, the Manager has exclusive discretion and complete responsibility in the management and control of the Company and the investment and use of the proceeds of this offering. Accordingly, we will be largely dependent upon the experience and judgment of the Manager and its principals and the decisions the Manager makes. Our results could be adversely affected if one or more of such principals were to withdraw as a principal of the Manager. Further, the Manager and the principals will have other business commitments that will occupy some portion of their business time. Our success also will depend to a significant extent upon the continued service of our executive officers and other key personnel. The loss of the services of one or more of our key personnel or our failure to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

13. Leverage. The Operating Agreement permits the Manager to incur debt, above and beyond any debt incurred to purchase the properties and, in connection with the obtainment of any such debt, to encumber the Company’s interest in the properties. As funds are borrowed, such financing will increase the risk of your investment because debt service increases the expense of operation. An increase in the Company’s debt will also increase the amount of the Management Fee payable by the Company to the Manager. In addition, lenders may require restrictions on future borrowing, distributions and operating policies. Our ability to meet our debt obligations will depend upon our future performance and will be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our business and operations, including general economic conditions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet our debt obligations.

4

Page 17: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

14. Need for Additional Capital; Issuance of Additional Units. We cannot assure you that the sale of some or all of the properties will generate proceeds sufficient to distribute a positive return, and it is possible that we will need additional capital to prepare the properties in such a manner that will yield better returns. To meet any need for additional financing, we may issue additional Units, which would have the effect of diluting the percentage ownership held by those purchasing Units hereunder.

15. Restrictions on Transfer; No Registration of Units. The Units are subject to substantial restrictions on transfer under federal and state laws regulating the sale or transfer of securities. Accordingly, you must be willing to bear the economic risk of your investment for an indefinite period of time. We have no commitment or intention to register Units with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state regulatory authority. In addition, there are transfer restrictions contained in the Operating Agreement (including a right of first refusal in favor of the Company and the Members), and transferees may be admitted as substitute Members only as provided in our Operating Agreement. The voluntary withdrawal of a Member is not permitted.

16. Financial Projections/Assumptions. We may provide certain financial estimates, projections and other forward looking information. Such forward looking information is based on assumptions of future events that may or may not occur, which assumptions may not be disclosed in such documents. YOU SHOULD INQUIRE OF THE MANAGER AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE ASSUMPTIONS UNDERLYING ANY PROJECTIONS. Projections are inherently subject to varying degrees of uncertainty and their achievability depends on the timing and probability of a complex series of future events. We cannot assure you that the assumptions upon which these projections are based will be realized. ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM PROJECTED RESULTS FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS INCLUDING INCREASES IN OPERATING EXPENSES, CHANGES OR SHIFTS IN MARKET CONDITIONS, UNDISCOVERED ADVERSE CONDITIONS WITH THE PROPERTIES AND INCREASED COMPETITION. ACCORDINGLY, YOU SHOULD NOT RELY UPON ANY PROJECTIONS TO INDICATE THE ACTUAL RESULTS WE MIGHT ACHIEVE.

17. Arbitrary Determination of Offering Price. We arbitrarily established the offering price for the Units, and you should not consider it to bear any relationship to our prospective earnings or assets or to the book value of any of the properties or any other generally accepted criteria of value.

18. Potential Conflicts of Interest. Our proposed operations may present potential conflicts of interest, including but not limited to the following:

(a) Opportunities. The Manager and its principals currently own, individually or with other investors, extensive real estate holdings in several markets and expect to continue to acquire, hold and dispose of real estate in those markets during the life of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager and its principals will use reasonable commercial efforts to advance the interests of the Company.

5

Page 18: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

(b) Other Funds. The investment opportunities available to the Company are also be suitable for the other funds sponsored by the Manager or it affiliates (the “Other Funds”) that have the same or similar investment strategy as the Company. The Manager will use reasonable commercial efforts to advance the interest of the Company to appropriately allocate investment opportunities among the Company and the Other Funds. However, there is no assurance that investment opportunities will be given to the Company. (c) Time Commitment. The principals of the Manager will devote such business time to our affairs as is reasonably necessary to manage our affairs in accordance with the terms of our Operating Agreement. The principals of the Manager will spend a portion of their business time managing other business endeavors. (d) Management Fee. The Manager will receive a monthly management fee, regardless of whether or not any distributions are being made to Members. The Manager also will be entitled to participate in distributions pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement. See “Management Fee” and “Distributions.” (e) Co-Investment Rights. The principals of the Manager, including their affiliates, will have the right to co-invest with the Company in connection with its purchase of the properties.

19. Performance-Related Compensation; Leverage. Because the percentage of profits distributed to the Manager will exceed the capital contribution percentage of the Manager, the Manager may have an incentive to make investments that are riskier or more speculative than if the Manager received distributions on a basis identical to that of the investors or were compensated on a basis not tied to the performance of the Company. In addition, because the Management Fee is calculated based on both the amount of invested capital and the amount of borrowed capital, the Manager may have an incentive to borrow excessive amounts of capital to increase the amount of the Management Fee. Such excessive borrowing may expose the Company to additional risks than if the Management Fee was calculated in a different manner.

20. Side Letters. The Manager, on behalf of the Company, may from time to time enter into letter agreements or other similar agreements (collectively, “Side Letters”) with one or more Members which provide such Members with additional or different rights (including with respect to access to information and liquidity terms) than such Members have pursuant to this Term Sheet and the Operating Agreement. As a result of such Side Letters, certain Members may receive additional benefits (including expanded informational rights) that other Members. The Manager will not be required to notify any or all of the other Members of any such Side Letters or any of the rights or terms or provisions thereof, nor will the Manager be required to offer such additional or different rights or terms to any or all of such other Members. The Manager, on behalf of the Company, may enter into such Side Letters with any party as the Manager may determine in its sole and absolute discretion at any time. The other Members will have no recourse against the Company, the Manager, or any of their respective affiliates in the event that certain Members receive additional or different rights or terms as a result of such Side Letters.

6

Page 19: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

21. Limitation on Remedies; Indemnification. The Operating Agreement provides that the liability of the Manager is eliminated to the fullest extent allowed under the laws of the State of Arizona. Thus, the Company and it members may be prevented from recovering damages for alleged errors or omissions made by the Manager. The Operating Agreement also provides that the Company will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify the Manager and its members, officers and employees for certain liabilities incurred by them by virtue of their acts on behalf of the Company.

22. No Market; Illiquidity of Units. An investment in the Units will be illiquid and will involve a high degree of risk. There is no market for the Units, and we do not expect any market to develop. Consequently, you will bear the economic risks of your investment for the term of the Company. You will be required to represent and agree that you are purchasing the Units for your own account for investment only and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof.

23. ERISA Risks. There may be special concerns for Members subject to ERISA and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. You should consult your own ERISA advisors before investing in the Company.

24. Federal Income Tax Risks – In General. The federal income tax aspects of an investment in the Company are complex, and their impact may vary depending on an investor’s individual circumstances. Potential investors should consider the following tax risks, among others:

(a) Members will be taxed currently on their allocable shares of the Company’s taxable income, even if they receive no distributions of cash from the Company; accordingly, there is a risk that in some years your tax liabilities arising out of your membership interest in the Company may exceed your cash distributions, and these tax liabilities will be out-of-pocket expenses to you; (b) the Company was not formed with the intent to produce deductions in excess of income that could be used to offset income from other sources; (c) any net losses of the Company and any interest expenses on any debt incurred by a Member to acquire or carry an interest in the Company are likely to be subject to the limitations on deduction of passive activity losses; (d) the Internal Revenue Service ( the “IRS”) may challenge the Company’s allocation and/or characterization of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit; (e) Members may be precluded from claiming certain deductions by virtue of limitations on miscellaneous itemized deductions and/or application of the at-risk rules; (f) income allocated by the Company to retirement plans and accounts or other tax-exempt Members is likely to be taxable to them as unrelated business taxable income;

7

Page 20: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

8

(g) the Company may claim deductions or other tax benefits to which it believes it is entitled, but there can be no assurance that the deductions or other benefits will be allowed on audit; (h) it is highly likely that the properties acquired and sold by the Company will be considered “property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the taxpayer’s business” (i.e., inventory) for federal income tax purposes, with the result that income and gain realized by the Company will be taxed as ordinary income (as opposed to capital gain); (i) the IRS may challenge reporting positions taken by the Company on its tax returns and, if the challenge is successful, seek to impose interest and penalties on taxes found to be due; and (j) tax laws, rules, regulations and rulings may change, with or without retroactive effect. The Company does not intend to seek any advance ruling from the IRS on any tax issue, nor does the Company intend to seek any opinion of counsel regarding the tax aspects associated with the Company’s operations or the potential tax impact of an investment in the Company by a Member. Each potential investor must consult his or her own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences (including federal and state income tax consequences) of investing in the Company, with specific reference to his own tax situation.

25. Federal Income Tax Risks – Non-U.S. Investors. The rules governing federal income taxation of non-resident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships and other foreign entities, which we refer to collectively as Non-U.S. investors, are complex. Although tax treaties may reduce our withholding obligations, based on current law, if you are a non-U.S. investor in the Company you will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax on your distributions as well as applicable foreign taxes. The Company will be required by law to withhold such federal taxes from your distributions. Non-U.S. investors should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the impact of federal, state and local income tax laws with respect to an investment in the Units, including reporting requirements. They should also consider the tax treatment of the investment under the tax laws of their home country.

1.6 Nature of Units. A Unit is personal property for all purposes. All real or other property owned by the Company shall be deemed owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member individually shall have any beneficial ownership interest therein.

ARTICLE 2 DEFINITIONS

Throughout this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, the following words shall have the meanings specified below: “Act” means the Arizona Limited Liability Company Act. “Adjusted Capital Account Balance” means, with respect to each Unit Holder, an amount equal to the balance in such Unit Holder’s Capital Account at the end of the relevant fiscal year, after increasing the balance in such Unit Holder’s Capital Account by any amount which such Unit Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) (1) and 1.704-2(i) (5). “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Unit Holder, the deficit balance, if any, in such Unit Holder’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments: (a) credit to such Capital Account any amounts which such Unit Holder is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and (b) debit to such Capital Account the items described in Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6). The

3

Page 28: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) (2) (ii) (d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. “Affiliate” means a Person who, with respect to any other Person, directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such other Person. For purposes of this definition, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person or entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. “Articles” means the articles of organization filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission for the purpose of forming the Company, as amended from time to time. “Assignee” means a Person who has acquired an economic interest in the Company but who has not been admitted as a Member of the Company. An Assignee shall be entitled to receive allocations of Profits and Losses and distributions of Net Property Cash Flow from the Company attributable to the Units held by such Assignee; provided, however, that such Assignee shall have no right to vote on Company matters or, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, to exercise any other right or privilege as a Member of the Company. “Capital Contribution” means, with respect to any Unit Holder, the amount of money and the initial Gross Asset Value of any property (including, without limitation, real property) contributed to the Company by the Unit Holder. “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. “Coleman & Associates” means Coleman & Associates, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company. “Depreciation” means, for each Fiscal Year or other period, an amount equal to the depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to a Company asset for such year or other period, except that if the Gross Asset Value of a Company asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other period, Depreciation shall be an amount that bears the same ratio to such beginning Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such year or other period bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis. If the Gross Asset Value of a Company asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, and such adjusted basis is zero, then Depreciation of the Gross Asset Value of such asset shall be determined under any reasonable method selected by the Manager. “Fiscal Year” means the Company’s fiscal year, which shall be the calendar year. “Gross Asset Value” means, with respect to any Company asset, the asset’s adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

(a) the initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset, as determined by the contributing Member and the Manager;

4

(d) the Gross Asset Values of Company assets shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and Section 4.3 below; provided, however, that Gross Asset Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d) to the extent that the Manager determines that an adjustment pursuant to subsection (b) hereof is necessary or appropriate in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this subsection (d); and

(e) if the Gross Asset Value of a Company asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to subsections (a), (b), or (d) hereof, such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be adjusted by the Depreciation taken into account with respect to such Company asset for purposes of computing Profits and Losses.

The fair market value determinations contemplated herein shall be made by the Manager and either the contributing or distributee Member, as the case may be. “Leverage Ratio” means, at any date of determination, the ratio of Property Debt to Net Worth. “Majority in Interest of the Members” means any Member or group of Members that collectively own greater than 50% of all of the Units held by all Members. “Manager” means Coleman & Associates, LLC, or any successor Manager appointed pursuant to Section 7.8 below. “Member” means each Person who executes this Agreement, makes the requisite Capital Contribution, acquires Units and becomes a member of the Company, and any other Person or Persons who may subsequently be designated as a member of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. “Net Cash Flow” means the gross cash proceeds to the Company from all sources, less the portion thereof used to pay or establish reserves for Company expenses (including the Management Fee), debt payments (including Member loans), liabilities, reserves and contingencies, all as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion. “Net Cash Flow” shall not be reduced by depreciation, amortization, cost recovery deductions or similar allowances. “Net Worth” means, as to the Company at any time of determination, (i) the aggregate fair market value of the Company’s assets (as reasonably determined by the Manager), less (ii) the total liabilities of the Company.

(a) any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be added to such taxable income or loss;

(b) any expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profits or Losses shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss;

(c) if the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subsections (b) or (c) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Profits or Losses;

(d) gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Gross Asset Value;

(e) in lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or other period; and

(f) notwithstanding the foregoing, no item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit that is specially allocated pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be taken into account in computing Profits or Losses.

“Property” and “Properties” means any one or more parcels of residential real property acquired by the Company. “Property Debt” means, at any time of determination, (i) all indebtedness (including principal interest, fees and charges) for borrowed money, (ii) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, and (iii) all contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness described in clauses (i) and (ii) above, in each case used by the Company to pay (x) a portion of the purchase prices for the Properties, and/or (y) current or future costs associated with the ownership, operation and management of the Properties.

ARTICLE 3 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

3.1 Initial Capital Contributions.

(a) The Company is authorized to accept Capital Contributions from the Members (and the Manager if the Manager, in its sole discretion, elects to invest). The issue price for Units issued by the Company shall be $1.00 per Unit. The minimum subscription by a Member will be $25,000, subject to reduction at the discretion of the Manager. The Company reserves the right to accept partial subscriptions on a case-by-case basis in the sole discretion of the Manager. The Company is authorized to reissue Units previously issued to Members and repurchased by the Company pursuant to this Agreement. The Company is authorized to issue Units to Members in return for Capital Contributions consisting of cash and/or real property that the Manager reasonably

7

Page 32: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

determines satisfies the investment objectives of the Company and otherwise complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b) The Manager shall use the Capital Contributions made to the Company by the Members to (i) acquire one or more Properties, either directly or through one or more wholly-owned subsidiary entities (each, a “Project Entity”), (ii) pay costs, legal fees and placement agent fees and commissions with respect to the formation of the Company, including preparation of this Agreement, the Subscription Agreement and related documents, (iii) reimburse the Manager or its Affiliates for costs and expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Company and their investigation of Properties for potential acquisition, and (iv) pay ongoing costs and expenses associated with the operation of the Company.

(c) The Manager will admit as Members such Persons who have:

(i) purchased a minimum of 25,000 Units, unless the Manager, in its sole discretion, permits the purchase of a lesser number of Units;

(ii) executed and delivered this Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, together with any other instruments the Manager may deem necessary or desirable to effect such admission and to manifest written acceptance by such Person of the provisions of this Agreement and acceptance of the Subscription Agreement; and

(iii) made an initial Capital Contribution consisting of cash in an amount equal to $1.00 for each Unit purchased as provided herein.

The Manager shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any subscription for Units. Subscriptions shall be accepted or rejected after receipt by the Manager of the fully completed and executed Subscription Agreement accompanied by payment of the required initial Capital Contribution. If the Manager rejects a subscription in whole or in part, all subscription monies or property relating to that portion of the subscription rejected shall promptly be returned without interest thereon.

(d) The Manager shall have the authority to admit Members from time to time hereafter, in accordance with this Section 3.1 and Section 3.3 below. The Company shall not recognize the issuance of any Units if such recognition would result in the classification of the Company as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Code Section 7704. The Manager shall, upon the admission of each Member, obtain the signature to and acceptance of this Agreement by the Member and make the appropriate adjustments to Exhibit A.

(e) If the Company does not promptly use any Member Capital Contributions (or portion thereof) to acquire one or more Properties or pay or reimburse fees or expenses of the Company, the Manager may in its sole discretion cause the Company to temporarily invest such liquid Capital Contributions (or portion thereof), pending use for such purposes, in short-term United States government securities, short-

8

Page 33: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

term securities issued or fully guaranteed by United States government agencies, money market accounts, or short-term certificates of deposit. Interest or dividends earned on amounts so invested shall be added to Net Cash Flow and shall be distributed as provided in Article 5.

(f) It is anticipated that some Members may make Capital Contributions from qualified accounts such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) (“Qualified Investors”). Each Qualified Investor acknowledges that, although real estate can be a permitted investment for a Qualified Investor, the IRS does not issue specific approval for any investment made by a Qualified Investor. No Qualified Investor will be allowed to invest in the Company if the investment would result in Qualified Investors owning more than 20% of the outstanding Units in the Company. No Qualified Investor shall be allowed to engage in a “prohibited transaction” with the Company as defined in Code Section 4975(c). No “disqualified person” as defined in Code Section 4975(e)(2) shall be permitted to purchase or acquire Units in the Company or become a Qualified Investor. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no real property shall be distributed “in kind” to a Qualified Investor.

3.2 Offering of Units. The Manager shall have the authority to cause the Company to offer Units in the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 above through August, 2009; provided, however, that the Manager shall have the right to extend the time for offering of Units pursuant to Section 3.1 above beyond the foregoing date for up to such additional time that the Manager, in its sole and absolute discretion, reasonably determines is in the best interest of the Company. All subscriptions received by the Company will be deposited into the general account of the Company upon acceptance of the subscriptions by the Company. Units shall be offered only to “accredited investors” (within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended).

3.3 Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) If the Manager determines the Company needs additional funds in excess of the funds raised pursuant to Section 3.1 above, the Manager, after obtaining the affirmative vote or approval of a Majority in Interest of the Members, may request the contribution of additional capital to the Company, to be contributed in the same ratios as the Units held by the Members, by giving written notice to the Members of such additional Capital Contribution needs, and a designated date when such contributions are required to be paid, which date shall be at least 30 days following such notification. Each Member who makes an additional Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall receive a single Unit for each dollar of additional Capital Contributions that Member contributes to the Company. If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to make its share of any requested additional Capital Contribution to the Company at the time and in the amount required by this Agreement:

(i) the Manager shall give written notice to the Members who timely made such requested additional Capital Contributions (the “Contributing Members”), who shall have the option for a period of 30 days following receipt of such notice to make some or all of the Non-Contributing Member’s additional Capital

9

Page 34: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

Contribution in proportion to their Unit ownership or in such other proportion as the Contributing Members may agree; and

(ii) if following such 30-day period, any Contributing Member does not contribute its share of the Non-Contributing Member’s additional Capital Contribution, then (A) the Manager shall give written notice to the Contributing Members who did contribute their share of the Non-Contributing Member’s additional Capital Contribution of the amount that remains unpaid, and (B) such Contributing Members shall have the option for ten days following receipt of such notice to pay the remaining amount in proportion to their Unit ownership or in such other proportion as such Contributing Members may agree and approved by the Manager.

(b) No Member shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.3, and the issuance of additional Units (and the corresponding adjustment of Unit ownership) is the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to a Member that fails to make its share of any requested additional Capital Contribution to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.3.

(c) If the Company does not receive sufficient funding pursuant to Section 3.1 above and this Section 3.3 to carry out its purposes or timely satisfy its obligations, then the Manager may, acting alone and without further joinder or consent of any Member, accept a Capital Contribution from and admit one or more other Persons (including any Person who is then a Member) as an additional Member of the Company on such terms and conditions as the Manager deems acceptable in its sole discretion. In connection with the admission of an additional Member, the Manager shall be entitled to amend this Agreement and the Articles as necessary or appropriate to reflect the admission of the additional Member to the Company, and the Manager may elect to adjust the Unit Holders’ Capital Accounts, Unreturned Capital Contributions and Unit ownership in the manner set forth in Section 4.5 below.

3.4 Withdrawal of Capital. No Unit Holder shall have the right to withdraw its Capital Contributions or to demand and receive property of the Company or any distribution in return of its Capital Contributions, except as specifically provided in this Agreement or required by law.

3.5 Member Loans. Any Member may lend or advance money to the Company, provided such Member receives the prior approval of the Manager and a Majority in Interest of the Members. If any Member makes any loan or loans to the Company or advances any money on the Company’s behalf, the amount of any such loan or advance shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution but shall be a debt due from the Company. The amount of any such loan or advance by a lending Member shall be repayable out of the next available cash of the Company and shall bear interest at the rate provided in any written agreement executed by the lending Member and the Manager on behalf of the Company. No Member shall be obligated to make any loan or advance to the Company unless that Member agrees in writing to do so.

10

Page 35: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

3.6 Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be maintained for each Unit Holder in accordance with Code Section 704(b) and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Each Unit Holder’s Capital Account shall be increased by:

(a)such Unit Holder’s Capital Contributions; (b)such Unit Holder’s distributive share of Profits and any items of income or gain that are specially allocated pursuant to Section 4.3 to such Unit Holder; and (c)the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by such Unit Holder (not including increases in such Unit Holder’s share of Company liabilities pursuant to Section 752(a) of the Code or that are secured by any Company property distributed to such Unit Holder). Each Unit Holder’s Capital Account will be decreased by: (a)the amount of any cash and the Gross Asset Value of any other Company property distributed to such Unit Holder pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (excluding decreases in such Unit Holder’s share of Company liabilities pursuant to Section 752(b) of the Code); (b)such Unit Holder’s distributive share of Losses and any items of expense or loss that are allocated pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof to such Unit Holder; and (c)the amount of any liabilities of such Unit Holder that are assumed by the Company or that are secured by any property contributed to the Company by such Unit Holder. For purposes of this Section 3.6, except as otherwise provided in Code Section 752(c), liabilities are considered assumed only to the extent the assuming party is thereby subjected to personal liability with respect to such obligation, the obligee is aware of the assumption and can directly enforce the assuming party’s obligation, and, as between the assuming party and the party from whom the liability is assumed, the assuming party is ultimately liable. If any Unit is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent that such Capital Account relates to the Transferred Unit. The Capital Accounts of all of the Unit Holders shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustments to the Gross Asset Value of any Company assets pursuant to subsections (b) and (c) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” as if the Company recognized gain or loss from the sale of such assets at their fair market value on the date of the revaluation. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Regulations, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. If the Manager determines 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 Manager may make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Unit Holder pursuant to Article 12 hereof upon the dissolution of the Company. The Manager shall make any appropriate modifications if unanticipated events (for example, the acquisition by the Company of oil or gas properties) might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Sections 1.704-1(b) or 1.704-2 of the Regulations. The Manager also shall make any appropriate modifications in the event the Company makes an election pursuant to Code Section 754 in order to comply in all respects with Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Regulations.

11

Page 36: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

3.7 Rights of Creditors. The foregoing provisions of this Article 3 are not

intended to be for the benefit of any creditor (other than the Company and its Members), or any Person (other than the Company and its Members) to whom any debts, liabilities, or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has a claim against) the Company or any Member, and no such creditor or other Person shall have any rights under such provision or shall, by reason of such provisions, make any claim in respect of any of the aforesaid debts, liabilities, or obligations (or otherwise) against the Company or any Member.

ARTICLE 4 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

4.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses.

(a) For each taxable year of the Company, subject to the application of Section 4.2 below, Profits and/or Losses shall be allocated to the Unit Holders in a manner that causes each Unit Holder’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance after such allocation to equal the amount that would be distributed to such Unit Holder pursuant to Section 12.3(d) below upon a hypothetical liquidation of the Company in accordance with Section 4.1(b) below.

(b) In determining the amounts distributable to the Unit Holders under Section 12.3(d) below upon a hypothetical liquidation, it shall be presumed that (i) all of the Company’s assets are sold at their respective Gross Asset Values, (ii) payments to any holder of a nonrecourse debt are limited to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing repayment of such debt, and (iii) the proceeds of such hypothetical sale are applied and distributed (without retention of reserves) in accordance with Section 12.3 below.

(c) To the extent the Manager reasonably determines that allocations of Profits and/or Losses over the term of the Company are not likely to produce the Adjusted Capital Account Balances intended under this Section 4.1, then special allocations of items of income, gain, loss and/or deduction shall be made as deemed necessary by the Manager to achieve the intended Adjusted Capital Account Balances.

4.2 Special Loss Allocation. The Losses allocated pursuant to Section 4.1(b) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Unit Holder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit or an increase in such Unit Holder’s Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of such Fiscal Year. All Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this Section 4.2 shall be allocated to the Unit Holders in proportion to their respective Units. In the event one or more, but not all, of the Unit Holders would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to Section 4.1(b) above, the limitation set forth in this Section 4.2 shall be applied on a Unit Holder by Unit Holder basis so as to allocate the maximum permissible Losses to each Unit Holder under Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) (2) (ii) (d).

12

Page 37: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

4.3 Special Allocations.

(a) If any Unit Holder, in such capacity, unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(2)(d)(4) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) (regarding certain mandatory allocations under the Regulations regarding family partnerships, the so-called varying interest rules, or certain in-kind distributions), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) (regarding certain distributions, to the extent they exceed certain expected offsetting increases in a Unit Holder’s Capital Account), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated in an amount and a manner sufficient to eliminate, as quickly as possible, the deficit balances in the Unit Holder’s Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. Any special allocations of items of income or gain pursuant to this subsection (a) shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Profits pursuant to this Article 4, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and the Profits, Losses or other items allocated to each Unit Holder pursuant to this Article 4 shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Unit Holder pursuant to this Article 4 as if such unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.

(b) If any of the assets of the Company are encumbered by a nonrecourse liability (as defined in Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(3)) or in the event the Unit Holders make loans on a non pro rata basis to the Company, this Agreement shall be deemed to include a “partnership minimum gain chargeback” provision and a “partner minimum gain chargeback” provision to the extent required by applicable Treasury Regulations in order for the allocations hereunder to have “substantial economic effect” within the meaning of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2.

(c) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, 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 Unit Holders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

(d) The allocations set forth in this Section 4.3 are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. These allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Unit Holders intend to divide Company distributions. Accordingly, the Manager shall divide other allocations of Profits, Losses and other items among the Unit Holders so as to prevent these allocations from distorting the manner in which Company distributions will be divided among the Unit Holders. In general, the Manager anticipates that this may be accomplished by specially allocating other Profits, Losses and items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Unit Holders so that the net amount of these allocations and such special allocations to each such Unit Holder is zero. The Manager shall have discretion to accomplish this result in any reasonable manner.

13

Page 38: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

4.4 Code Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and applicable Regulations issued thereunder, income gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Unit Holders so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Manager in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose of this Agreement. Allocations made pursuant to this Section 4.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unit Holder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

4.5 Adjustments to Capital Accounts and Units. If, upon the admission of an additional Member to the Company pursuant to Section 3.3(c) above (or under other circumstances described or contemplated in the Regulations), the Manager determines that the value of the Company’s assets at that time differs from the amounts at which such assets are reflected on the Company’s books of account (as maintained in accordance with Code Section 704(b) and the Regulations there under), then (a) immediately prior to the admission of the additional Member, the Capital Accounts of the existing Unit Holders shall be adjusted to equal the amounts that would be distributed to them by the Company, if the Company sold all of its assets at the values determined by the Manager, paid all of its liabilities, and distributed the proceeds of such sale in the order of priority set forth in Section 12.3 below, and (b) the Unit Holders’ Units and Unreturned Capital Contributions in the Company shall be adjusted as agreed by the Manager and the additional Member (or Members) being admitted.

ARTICLE 5 DISTRIBUTIONS OF NET CASH FLOW

5.1 Net Cash Flow.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(b) below (dealing with tax distributions), Section 5.1(c) below (dealing with special discretionary distributions to reduce the Unreturned Capital Contributions of the Unit Holders), Section 8.3 below (dealing with the payment of the Management Fee) or Section 12.3 below (dealing with distributions upon liquidation of the Company), all Net Cash Flow shall be distributed in the following order and priority:

(i) first, 100% to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Unpaid Priority Returns, until the Unpaid Priority Returns of all Unit Holders are reduced to zero;

14

Page 39: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

(ii) second, 100% to Coleman & Associates until Coleman & Associates receives an amount equal to 42.857% of the total amount distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to Section 5.1(a)(i) above; and

(iii) third, (1) 30% to Coleman & Associates, and (2) 70% to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Units.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), the Manager shall within 15 days of the end of each calendar quarter distribute to each Member, to the extent cash is available to the Company, an amount which when combined with the other amounts distributed to such Member in that Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years, equals the cumulative net taxable income allocated to the Member under Section 4.1 through Section 4.3 above for that Fiscal Year and all prior Fiscal Years (taking into account Losses allocated to that Member in prior Fiscal Years) multiplied by the highest applicable federal and state tax rates applicable to ordinary income in effect for that Fiscal Year (taking into account the deductibility of state income taxes for purposes of determining the federal income tax rate). All distributions made to any Member pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be treated for all purposes hereunder as an advance payment of distributions otherwise payable pursuant to Section 5.1(a) so that, in the aggregate, all distributions are divided among the Unit Holders in the manner they would be divided without regard to the special tax distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.1(b). If, upon liquidation of the Company, any Member has received more distributions by virtue of this Section 5.1(b) than it otherwise would have been entitled without regard to this Section 5.1(b), then that Member shall be obligated to contribute to the Company the deficit balance in its Capital Account or such excess distribution, whichever is less.

(c) Optional Capital Distributions. At any time prior to the date on which the Unreturned Capital Contributions of all Unit Holders are reduced to zero, the Manager may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause the Company to make one or more special distributions of cash to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Unreturned Capital Contributions, in which case the Unreturned Capital Contributions of each recipient Unit Holder shall be reduced by the amount of the special distribution received by that Unit Holder.

5.2 Distributions and Admissions of Members. Upon the admission of a Member, the portion of distributions distributable to such Member shall be determined consistent with the portion of the Fiscal Year during which the Person was a Member.

5.3 Other Distribution Matters. In connection with any distribution, no Unit Holder shall have the right to receive property other than cash except as may be specifically provided herein. If any property is distributed in-kind to the Unit Holders, such shall be valued on the basis of its fair market value, and any Unit Holder entitled to any interest in such property shall receive that interest as a tenant-in-common with each other Unit Holder so entitled. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the fair market value of the property distributed to the Unit Holders hereunder shall be determined by the Manager utilizing such procedures as the Manager determines to be fair and reasonable. The Manager may withhold from amounts to be distributed to any

15

Page 40: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

Unit Holder any and all amounts, determined in the Manager’s reasonable discretion, required by any law, treaty, regulation, rule, ruling, directive or other governmental requirement. All amounts withheld pursuant the preceding sentence shall be treated as amounts distributed to the relevant Unit Holder pursuant to this Article 5 or Article 12 below.

ARTICLE 6 BOOKS AND RECORDS

6.1 Accounting Method and Period. Unless otherwise determined by the Manager, (a) the books and records of account of the Company shall be maintained in accordance with the cash method of accounting, and (b) the Company’s accounting period shall be the calendar year.

6.2 Records. At the expense of the Company, the Manager shall maintain records and accounts of all operations and expenditures of the Company. At a minimum, the Company shall comply with applicable provisions of the Act regarding the maintenance of records.

6.3 Returns and Other Elections. The Manager shall cause the preparation and timely filing of all tax returns required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Code and all other tax returns deemed necessary and required in each jurisdiction in which the Company engages in its activities. Copies of such returns or pertinent information there from, shall be furnished to the Unit Holders as soon as practical following the end of the Company’s Fiscal Year. All elections permitted to be made by the Company under federal or state laws shall be made by the Manager in its sole discretion.

6.4 Financial and Operations Reporting. The Manager will provide the Members with financial information relating to the Company and the Properties upon written request. The Manager may (in its discretion) provide to the Members a narrative report setting forth the current status of each Property. The Manager shall, as soon as practical after the end of each Fiscal Year, provide to each Member the information necessary tax information related to the operation of the Company during the preceding Fiscal Year.

6.5 Tax Controversies. The Tax Matters Member is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Unit Holders agree to cooperate with the Tax Matters Member and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the Tax Matters Member to conduct those proceedings. The Tax Matters Member agrees to promptly notify the other Unit Holders upon the receipt of any correspondence from any federal, state or local tax authorities relating to any examination of the Company’s affairs. The Tax Matters Member shall be prohibited from entering into any settlement or arrangement on behalf of the Company with respect to any federal,

16

Page 41: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

state or local tax authorities without the express written approval of the Manager and a Majority in Interest of the Members. The Company shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters Member for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with its duties as the Tax Matters Member. The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Tax Matters Member in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the Tax Matters Member.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager and its Affiliates will use reasonable commercial efforts to advance the interests of the Company. Except as provided in this Section 7.4, neither the Manager nor its Affiliates shall have any duty or obligation to present to the Company any real or personal properties, or opportunities in connection therewith that the Manager or its Affiliates may discover.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Person who has been removed as Manager shall continue to be a Member for all other purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 7.6, “cause” shall exist if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Coleman & Associates has (i) engaged in fraud or willful misconduct in connection with the performance of its duties as the Manager of the Company, or (ii) misappropriated Company funds. Upon the removal of Coleman & Associates as the Manager pursuant to this Section 7.6, a successor Manager may be elected pursuant to Section 7.8 below.

7.7 Resignation. A Manager may resign as Manager of the Company at any time by giving written notice to the Members. The resignation of any Manager shall take effect upon receipt of notice thereof or at such later time as shall be specified in such notice.

7.8 Vacancies. Any vacancy occurring for any reason in the Manager’s office shall be filled by the approval of a Majority in Interest of the Members.

The Manager and the Manager’s Affiliates, managers, members, employees, agents and assigns shall not be liable to the Company or the Unit Holders for or as a result of any act, omission or error in judgment which was taken, omitted or made by any such Persons in the exercise of their judgment in good faith under this Agreement and which does not constitute fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct by such Persons. The foregoing Persons may consult with such legal or other professional counsel as they may select. Any action taken or omitted by them in good faith reliance on, or in accordance with, the opinion or advice of such counsel shall be full protection and justification to such Persons with respect to the actions taken or omitted.

9.3 Priority and Return of Capital. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have priority over any other Member, either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to Profits, Losses or distributions; provided, however, that this Section 9.3 shall not apply to loans (as distinguished from Capital Contributions) a Member has made to the Company.

9.4 Closing and Operating Expenses. If a Manager bears any actual costs in connection with any operating or other costs on behalf of the Company, such Manager shall not be deemed to have made any Capital Contributions to the Company as a result of paying such costs. Rather, such costs shall be deemed reimbursable expenses. The Company shall reimburse such Manager for all such costs from Capital Contributions or from Net Cash Flow if and when sufficient to make such reimbursements.

ARTICLE 10 MEETINGS OF MEMBERS

10.1 Meetings. Meetings of the Members, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Manager.

10.2 Annual and Special Meetings. The Company may, at the Manager’s sole discretion, hold an annual meeting of the Members. Special meetings of the Members, for any purpose or purposes, unless otherwise prescribed by statute, may be called by the Manager, or by any Member or Members who individually or collectively hold greater than 10% of the Units.

10.3 Place of Meetings. The Manager may designate the place of meeting for any annual meeting or for any special meeting. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the Company.

Written notice stating the place, day and hour of the meeting of Members and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than five nor more than 50 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by certified or registered mail, by or at the direction of the Manager or other persons calling the meeting, to each Member of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the Member at its address as it appears on the books of the Company, with postage thereon prepaid. If three successive letters mailed to the last known address of any Member of record are returned as undeliverable, no further notices to such Member shall be necessary until another address for such Member is delivered in writing to the Company.

10.5 Meeting of All Members. If all of the Members shall meet at any time and place, including by conference telephone call, either within or outside of the State of Arizona, and consent to the holding of a meeting at such time and place, such meeting shall be valid without call or notice, and at such meeting any action of the Members may be taken.

10.6 Quorum. Members entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, holding greater than 50% of the Units held by all Members, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of Members. Business may be conducted once a quorum is present.

10.8 Proxies. At all meetings of Members, a Member may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the Member or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the Company before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

10.9 Designation of Member Representative. Upon execution of this Agreement, each Member shall designate a single representative (who shall be an individual and not an entity) to vote on behalf of such Member. Each Member represents and warrants that any such individual identified as such Member’s representative has been duly authorized to act on behalf of such Member and that such representative’s actions hereunder shall be binding on such Member. The Manager shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the vote, consent, approval or other action of such representative on behalf of the Member for all matters relating to the Company without needing any other evidence of the vote, approval or consent of the Member for such matters. A Member may change its designated representative by giving notice to the Manager of such change and the name, address and telephone number of the new representative.

10.10 Action by Members Without a Meeting. Action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting of Members if the action is evidenced by one or more counterparts of written consents, delivered to each Member entitled to vote, and signed by such number or percentage of Members that would have been required to approve such action as is otherwise provided hereunder. Such consents shall be delivered to the Manager for filing with the Company records. The Manager shall promptly deliver a copy of such consents to those Members who have not signed the consents.

10.11 Voting by Ballot. Voting on any question or in any election may be by voice vote, unless the Manager or any Member demands that voting be by written ballot.

23

Page 48: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

10.13 Telephonic Communication. The Manager and the Members may participate in and hold a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in person, except where a Member participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

ARTICLE 11 TRANSFERS

11.1 General Restrictions on Transfer.

(a) A Unit Holder may not directly or indirectly Transfer all or any part of its Units except (i) as permitted in Section 11.1(c) and Section 11.2 below, or (ii) with the written consent of the Manager, and any attempt to do so shall be null and void. For purposes of this Section 11, the Transfer of 50% or more of the ownership, equity or voting interest in a Unit Holder (a “Change of Control”) shall be treated as an indirect Transfer of that Unit Holder’s Units in the Company. The Company has not registered the Units under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), or the applicable securities laws of any state, and the Units have been offered for sale and sold in reliance on exemptions from registration. Each Unit Holder must acquire its Units for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view towards distribution or resale of such Units within the meaning of the Securities Act or the applicable securities laws of any state. The Company shall be under no duty to register the Units or to comply with any exemption in connection with the Transfer under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Act or the applicable securities laws of any state.

(b) Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, no Transfer of a Unit may be given effect without the written consent of the Manager, if the Transfer of such Unit (i) when added to the total of all other Units Transferred within the period of twelve consecutive months prior thereto, would result in a termination of the Company under the Code Section 708; (ii) would cause the Unit to be held, directly or indirectly, at any time by employee benefit plan investors, or otherwise cause the assets of the Company to be classified as “plan assets” under the regulations of the Department of Labor; or (iii) would result in the classification of the Company as a publicly traded partnership within the meaning of Code Section 7704.

(c) Notwithstanding the prohibition on Transfers contained in the Section 11.1(a) above, a Member may, directly or indirectly, transfer its Units in the Company to a trust, family limited partnership or family limited liability company for no consideration and for estate planning purposes as long as the assigning Member remains a controlling Affiliate of such entity, and any such transferee may become a substituted Member in lieu of the transferor in accordance with Section 11.3 below. In addition, the heirs, devisees and legatees of a deceased Member, or the beneficiary of any trust which distributes any Units to such beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the applicable trust instrument, shall have the rights of a transferee of a living Member and may become

24

Page 49: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

a substituted Member in lieu of the deceased Member or trust, as applicable, in accordance with Section 11.3 below.

(d) If, pursuant to a direct or indirect Transfer of a Unit in the Company by operation of law and without violation of this Section 11 (or pursuant to a Transfer that the Company is required to recognize notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Agreement), a Person directly or indirectly acquires a Unit in the Company, but is not admitted as a substituted Member pursuant to Section 11.3 below, such Person (or the Member with respect to which a Change of Control occurs) shall:

(i) be an Assignee of a Member’s interest;

(ii) have no right to participate in the business and affairs of the Company or to exercise any rights of a Member under this Agreement or the Act;

(iii) be (or continue to be) obligated to make Capital Contributions to the Company to the extent required under Section 3.3 above; and

(iv) share in distributions from the Company on the same basis as the Transferring Member (or as the Member did previously if a Change of Control has occurred with respect to that Member).

11.2 Right of First Refusal.

(a) If any Unit Holder (a “Selling Unit Holder”) receives a bona fide written offer (the “Sale Offer”) from a Person (other than a Member or an Affiliate of a Member who is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) to purchase all or any portion of such Unit Holder’s Units (the “Sale Units”) for a purchase price denominated and payable in United States dollars, then the Selling Unit Holder shall first, prior to accepting such Sale Offer, provide to the Manager and the other Members (the “non-Selling Members”) a written notice (an “Offering Notice”) specifying in detail the price, terms and conditions of the Sale Offer along with the name of the proposed purchaser (such proposed purchaser being a fully disclosed principal) together with a complete copy of such Sale Offer. The Company and non-Selling Members shall have an obligation to keep such Sale Offer confidential and shall not have the right to contact the Person making the Sale Offer until such Sale Offer is either accepted or deemed rejected pursuant to this Section 11.2.

(b) The Company shall have the right, irrevocable for a period of 60 days after the receipt of the Offering Notice (the “Company Offer Period”) to purchase the Sale Units specified in the Offering Notice at the price and upon the terms set forth therein; subject, however, to the modifications set forth in this Section 11.2. If the Company fails to accept in whole the terms set forth in the Offering Notice within the Company Offer Period and consummate the purchase as set forth below, the Sale Offer set forth in the Offering Notice shall be deemed rejected by the Company.

25

Page 50: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

(c) If the Sale Offer is not exercised by the Company as to all of the Sale Units within the Company Offer Period, then the non-Selling Members shall have the right, irrevocable for a period of 60 days after the expiration of the Company Offer Period (the “Non-Selling Member Offer Period”) to purchase the balance of the Sale Units not otherwise selected for purchase by the Company pursuant to Section 11.2(b) at the price and upon the terms set forth in the Sale Offer; subject, however, to the modifications set forth in this Section 11.2. If more than one non-Selling Member desires to purchase such Sale Units, then, in the absence of an agreement between them, each such non-Selling Member shall purchase such Sale Units in the proportion to their respective Unit ownership. The Company and the non-Selling Members may not elect to purchase less than all of the Sale Units, but they may act together to purchase all of the Sale Units. If the non-Selling Members fail to accept the Sale Offer and elect to purchase such Sale Units within Non-Selling Member Offer Period and consummate the purchase as set forth below, the Sale Offer set forth in the Offering Notice shall be deemed rejected as to all of the Sale Units and for a period of 60 days after the Sale Offer is so rejected, the Selling Unit Holder shall be free to dispose of the Sale Units at (but only at) the price and on (but only on) the terms and conditions of the Sale Offer set forth in the Offering Notice. Such disposal shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 11.3 below.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2(e) below, the Company and the non-Selling Members may purchase all and not less than all of the Sale Units upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice; provided, however, that the Transfer from the Selling Unit Holder to the Company or the non-Selling Members, as the case may be, shall be consummated on a date not earlier than 30 nor later than 90 days after the last day of the Non-Selling Member Offer Period.

(e) If the Company and/or the non-Selling Members elect to purchase the Sale Interest and fail to timely consummate the purchase of any Sale Units pursuant to Section 11.2(d) above, the Selling Unit Holder shall thereafter have the right to Transfer such Sale Units to any Person making a bona fide offer for such Sale Units without first having to offer such to the Company or the non-Selling Members pursuant to this Section 11.2 subject, however, to the provisions set forth in Section 11.3 below.

(f) Except as provided in Section 11.2(e), if the Selling Unit Holder fails to Transfer the Sale Units within the 60 day period following the non-Selling Members’ rejection of the Sale Offer, the rights of the Company and the non-Selling Members as set forth in this Section 11.2 shall again apply to any subsequent Transfer of all or any portion of the Selling Unit Holder’s Units.

11.3 Substitution of Members. No Assignee or transferee of a Unit or any fraction thereof shall have the right to become a substituted Member unless all of the following are satisfied:

(a) the written consent of the Manager shall have been obtained, the granting or denial of which shall be within the absolute discretion of the Manager;

26

Page 51: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

(b) the assignment instrument is in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager;

(c) the assignor and assignee named therein execute and acknowledge such other instrument or instruments as the Manager may deem necessary or desirable to effectuate such admission;

(d) the assignee accepts and adopts in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may have been amended;

(e) the assignor pays any transfer fee which will cover any reasonable expenses of the Transfer, including attorneys’ fees and expenses of recording an amendment to this Agreement, connected with such Transfer and admission; and

(f) the Company receives an opinion of counsel, if deemed reasonably necessary by the Manager, from it’s or the assignor’s attorney, that the Transfer is in compliance with the requirements set forth in Section 11.1.

Any transferee of a Unit hereunder that is not admitted as a Member pursuant to this Section 11.3 shall have the rights provided to an Assignee hereunder.

ARTICLE 12 DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

12.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Liquidating Event”):

(a) the sale or liquidation of all of the Company’s assets;

(b) the written agreement of the Manager and a Majority in Interest of the Members; or

(c) the entry of a decree of dissolution under the Act.

12.2 Effect of Dissolution. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Company shall cease to carry on its activities, except insofar as may be necessary for the winding up of its activities, but its separate existence shall continue until articles of termination have been filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission or until a decree terminating the Company has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction.

12.3 Winding Up. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors, Manager and Members. No Unit Holder shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s activities and affairs. The Manager shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company and shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and property, and the Company property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value

27

Page 52: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

thereof, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(a) first, to the payment and discharge of all expenses of liquidation;

(b) second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities (including to Members who are creditors) in the order of priority provided by law;

(c) third, to the establishment of any reserve that the Manager deems necessary (such reserve may be paid over to an escrow agent); and

(d) fourth, to the Members in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Unreturned Capital Contributions, until the Unreturned Capital Contributions of all Unit Holders are reduced to zero;

(ii) second, to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Unpaid Priority Returns, until the Unpaid Priority Returns of all Unit Holders are reduced to zero;

(iii) third, to Coleman & Associates until Coleman & Associates has received an amount equal to 42.857% of the total amount distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to Section 12.3(d)(ii) above; and

(iv) fourth, (1) 70% to the Unit Holders in proportion to their Units, and (2) 30% to Coleman & Associates.

12.4 Deficit Capital Account Balances. Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.1(b) above, if any Member has a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

12.5 Alternate Distribution Provisions. In the discretion of the Manager, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Unit Holders pursuant to this Article 12 may be (a) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Unit Holders for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Manager arising out of or in connection with the Company (and the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Unit Holders from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Manager, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Unit Holders pursuant to this Agreement), (b) withheld to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of

28

Page 53: Residential Opportunity Fund PPM

any installment obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Unit Holders as soon as practicable.

12.6 Articles of Termination. When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provision has been made therefore and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Unit Holders, articles of termination shall be executed by the Manager and shall be in the form required by the Act. Upon the filing of the articles of termination, the existence of the Company shall cease, except for the purpose of suits, other proceedings and appropriate action as provided in the Act. The Manager shall thereafter be trustee for the Unit Holders and creditors of the Company and as such shall have authority to distribute any Company property discovered after termination, and take such other action as may be necessary on behalf of and in the name of the Company.

12.7 Manager’s Responsibility. Upon a Liquidating Event, each Unit Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution. If the Company property remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return the cash contribution of each Unit Holder, such Unit Holder shall have no recourse against the Manager or any other Unit Holder. The winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets shall be conducted exclusively by the Manager, who is hereby authorized to take all actions necessary to accomplish such distribution, including, without limitation, selling any Company assets the Manager deems necessary or appropriate to sell. In the event of removal or resignation of the Manager and the failure to appoint a new Manager, the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets shall be conducted by such persons or entities as may be selected by a vote of a Majority in Interest of the Members, which persons are authorized to do any and all acts and things authorized by law for these purposes.
