In determining the classification of cash inflows and outflows related to water asset activity, the Company’s practices are supported by ASC Topic 230-10-45-22, which provides that certain cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows, whereby appropriate classification depends on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the transaction. Also, at the 2006 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items.

Given the nature of our water assets and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of water assets purchased based on the timing of the sale of the water. Water purchased in prior periods that was classified as investing was sold for $1.3 million in 2023, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $0.5 million related to the water purchased in prior periods is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the current period. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to water asset transactions that meet this fact pattern.

1In determining the classification of cash inflows and outflows related to water asset activity, the Company’s practices are supported by ASC Topic 230-10-45-22, which provides that certain cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows, whereby appropriate classification depends on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the transaction. Also, at the 2006 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items.

Given the nature of our water assets and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of water assets purchased based on the timing of the sale of the water. Water purchased in prior periods that was classified as investing was sold for $1.3 million in 2023, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $0.5 million related to the water purchased in prior periods is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the current period. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to water asset transactions that meet this fact pattern.

TEJON RANCH CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The summarized information of Tejon Ranch Co. and its subsidiaries (the Company, TRC or Tejon), provided pursuant to Part I, Item 1 of Form 10-Q, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of its consolidated financial statements.
The periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include the consolidation of CFL’s statements of operations within the resort/residential real estate development segment, statements of changes in equity, and statements of cash flows. The Company’s September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 balance sheets are presented on a consolidated basis, including the consolidation of CFL.
The Company has identified five reportable segments: commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, mineral resources, farming, and ranch operations. Information for the Company’s reportable segments is presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company uses segment profit or loss and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures as the primary measures of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources.
The results of the period reported herein are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s agricultural activities, water activities, timing of real estate sales and leasing activities. Historically, the Company’s largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.
For further information and a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Financial Instruments
Certain financial instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost or amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value due to their short-term and highly liquid nature.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, security deposits held for customers, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities. The fair value of the revolving line of credit also approximates its carrying value, as the interest rate is variable and approximates prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relates to funds held in escrow. The Company had $500,000 of restricted cash as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Climate Change Related Update by SEC Effective in Future Periods
Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-05, "Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations." This ASU addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture's separate financial statements. The pronouncement requires a joint venture to initially measure contributions at fair value upon formation, which is more relevant than the carrying amounts of the contributed net assets and would reduce equity method basis differences. The ASU is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.






11


Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". This ASU requires quarterly disclosure of segment expenses if they are (i) significant to the segment, (ii) regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and (iii) included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. In addition, this ASU requires an annual disclosure of the CODM’s title and a description of how the CODM uses the segment’s profit/loss measure to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. This ASU will be effective for the Company's annual report on Form 10-K beginning with the year ending December 31, 2024, and for subsequent quarterly and annual reports. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". This ASU requires public business entities to disclose a tabular rate reconciliation of both percentages and reporting currency amounts on an annual basis. The ASU also requires disclosure of information on the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of Rules to Enhance and Standardize Climate-related Disclosures for Investors
On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports.
On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rules pending completion of judicial review of the petitions challenging the final rules. The order does not amend the compliance dates contemplated by the final rules, which are applicable to the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of these requirements on our financial statement disclosures.
2.    EQUITY
Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during reporting periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding assuming the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options, warrants to purchase common stock, and the vesting of restricted stock grants per ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”

3.     MARKETABLE SECURITIES
ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” requires that an enterprise classify all debt securities as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. The Company has elected to classify its securities as available-for-sale and therefore is required to adjust securities to fair value at each reporting date. All costs and both realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at:
($ in thousands) September 30, 2024December 31, 2023

$13,872 $13,892 $32,577 $32,556 
The Company uses an allowance approach when recognizing credit loss for available-for-sale debt securities, measured as the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and the amount expected to be collected over the security's lifetime. Under this approach, at each reporting date, the Company records impairment related to credit losses through earnings offset with an allowance for credit losses, or ACL. At September 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded any credit losses.
As of September 30, 2024, the fair market value of investment securities was $20,000 above their cost basis. The Company’s gross unrealized holding gains equaled $21,000 and gross unrealized holding losses equaled $1,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected an increase in market value of $46,000, including estimated taxes of $13,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a decline in market value of $40,000, including estimated taxes of $11,000.
The Company elected to exclude applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities, and separately present the accrued interest receivable balance. The accrued interest receivables balance totaled $114,000 as of September 30, 2024 and was included within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable, as an allowance on possible uncollectible accrued interest is not warranted.
U.S. Treasury and agency notes
The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury and agency notes at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were caused by relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase and not changes in credit quality. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
13


Corporate notes
The unrealized losses on corporate notes are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

5.     LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS
Long-term water assets consist of water and water contracts held for future use or sale. The water is held at cost, which includes the price paid for the water and the cost to pump and deliver the water from the California aqueduct into the water bank. Water is currently held in a water bank on Company land in southern Kern County and by TCWD in Kern County Water Banks.
The Company has secured SWP entitlements under long-term SWP water contracts within the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District and the Dudley-Ridge Water District, totaling 3,444 acre-feet of SWP entitlement annually, subject to SWP allocations. These contracts extend through 2035 and have been transferred to AVEK for the Company's use in the Antelope Valley. In 2013, the Company acquired a contract to purchase water that obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water each year from the Nickel Family, LLC, or Nickel, a California limited liability company that is located in Kern County.
The initial term of the water purchase agreement with Nickel runs to 2044 and includes a Company option to extend the contract for an additional 35 years. The purchase cost of water in 2024 is $957 per acre-foot. The purchase cost is subject to annual cost increases based on the greater of the Consumer Price Index or 3%.
The water purchased above will ultimately be used in the development of the Company’s land for commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, and farming. Interim uses may include the sale of portions of this water to third-party users on an annual basis until this water is fully allocated to Company uses, as just described.

9.     STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS
The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the making of awards to employees based upon a service condition or through the achievement of performance-related objectives. The Company has issued three types of stock grant awards under these plans: restricted stock with service condition vesting; performance share grants that only vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions, such as corporate cash flow goals or share price, or Performance Condition Grants; and performance share grants that include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance measures, or Performance Milestone Grants. Performance Condition Grants with market-based conditions are based on the achievement of a target share price. The share price used to calculate the grant date fair value for market-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Failure to achieve the target share price will result in the forfeiture of shares. Forfeiture of share awards with service conditions or performance-based restrictions will result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions does not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

The unamortized cost associated with unvested stock grants and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized as of September 30, 2024 were $4,196,000 and 14 months, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock with time-based vesting features is based upon the Company’s share price on the date of grant and is expensed over the service period. Fair value of performance grants that cliff vest based on the achievement of performance conditions is based on the share price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant and is expensed over the performance period if it is probable that the award will vest. This fair value is expensed over the service period applicable to these grants. For performance grants that contain a range of shares from zero to maximum, the Company determines, based on historic and projected results, the probability of (1) achieving the performance objective, and (2) the level of achievement. Based on this information, the Company determines the number of awards probable of vesting and expenses the grant date fair value of such awards over the service period related to these grants. Because the ultimate vesting of all performance grants is tied to the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates whether the performance condition will be met and over what period of time. Ultimately, the Company adjusts compensation cost according to the actual outcome of the performance condition.

Cash-Settled Awards
Time-Based Cash-Settled Awards

On March 13, 2024, the Company granted 75,117 time-based cash-settled awards to the Chief Executive Officer that vest on December 31, 2024. These awards are classified as liabilities, measured at fair value on the date of grant, and remeasured at each reporting date, based on the Company’s share price. Compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line method over the remaining vesting period. As of September 30, 2024, $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized on outstanding cash-settled awards over the remaining vesting period based on fair value as of September 30, 2024.


18


Performance-Based Cash-Settled Awards
On March 13, 2024, the Company granted 14,867 performance condition grants, with market-based conditions, that are cash-settled awards to the Chief Executive Officer. These awards are classified as liabilities, measured at fair value on the date of grant, and remeasured at each reporting date based on a Monte Carlo model. Compensation cost is recognized in proportion to the completed requisite service period through December 31, 2024. The amount of awards earned ranges between 0% and 200% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the performance period commencing on the grant date and ending on the last day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, and settled in cash. The performance conditions of the award are achieved at a target share price of $17.58. As of September 30, 2024, $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized on outstanding performance-based cash-settled awards over the remaining performance period based on the fair value as of September 30, 2024.
On March 13, 2024, the Company granted 120,188 performance milestone cash-settled awards to the Chief Executive Officer. These awards are classified as liabilities, measured at fair value on the date of grant, and remeasured at each reporting date, based on the Company’s share price. Compensation cost is recognized based on an estimate of the probability of achieving the performance objective at the associated level of achievement in proportion to the completed requisite service period through December 31, 2024. The amount of awards earned for each milestone is either 0% or 100% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the performance period commencing on the grant date and ending on the last day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, and settled in cash. The performance conditions of the award are achieved based on established milestones. If such milestones are not met or become not probable of being met during the performance period, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. As of September 30, 2024, $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized on outstanding performance-based cash-settled awards over the remaining performance period based on the fair value and the estimated probability of achievement as of September 30, 2024.
Under the 2023 Stock Incentive Plan, each non-employee director, during the years presented, received all or a portion of his or her annual compensation in stock.
The following table summarizes stock compensation costs for the Company's 2023 Stock Incentive Plan, 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, and the prior Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan for the following periods:

10.     INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes as of September 30, 2024 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s income tax benefit was $286,000 compared to income tax expense of $3,619,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Effective tax rates were 14% and 68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had income taxes receivable of $1,814,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was above statutory tax rates as a result of permanent differences related to Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limitations. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
11.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Water Contracts
The Company has secured water contracts that are encumbered by the Company's land. These water contracts require minimum annual payments, for which $12,495,000 was paid as of September 30, 2024. These water contract payments consist of SWP contracts with WRMWSD, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin, Dudley-Ridge, and the Nickel water contract. The SWP contracts run through 2035 and the Nickel water contract runs through 2044, with an option to extend an additional 35 years. Contractual obligations for future water payments were $288,905,000 as of September 30, 2024.

19



Contracts
The Company exited a consulting contract during the second quarter of 2014 related to the Grapevine Development, or Grapevine project, and is obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of its successful receipt of litigated project entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after litigated entitlements have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fee will not be determined until the future payment dates. As of September 30, 2024, the Company believes the net savings resulting from exiting the contract during this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.
Community Facilities Districts
TRPFFA is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. For the development of TRCC, TRPFFA has created two CFDs: the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $19,540,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $95,660,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. As of September 30, 2024, the TRCC-East CFD has approximately $18,605,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA that can be sold in the future.
As a landowner in each CFD, the Company is obligated to pay its share of the special taxes assessed each year. The secured lands include both the TRCC-West and TRCC-East developments. Proceeds from the sale of West CFD bonds went to reimburse the Company for public infrastructure costs related to the TRCC-West development. As of September 30, 2024, there were no additional improvement funds remaining from the West CFD bonds. As of September 30, 2024, there are $32,284,000 of additional improvement funds remaining within the East CFD bonds for reimbursement of public infrastructure costs during future years. On July 25, 2024, TRPFFA sold bonds which will provide approximately $25,000,000 of improvement funds for the reimbursement of public infrastructure costs at TRCC-East. On October 16, 2024, the Company received $7,284,000 reimbursement proceeds from the East CFD funds, reducing the amount of funds remaining to $25,000,000. During fiscal year 2024, the Company expects to pay approximately $3,282,000 in special taxes. As development continues to occur at TRCC, new owners of land and new lease tenants, through triple net leases, will bear an increasing portion of the assessed special tax. This amount could change in the future, based on the amount of bonds outstanding and the amount of taxes paid by others. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased is not determinable at this time, because it is based on the current tax rate and assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company was not required to recognize an obligation on September 30, 2024.
Centennial
On April 30, 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors granted final entitlement approval for the Centennial project. On May 15, 2019, Climate Resolve filed an action in Los Angeles Superior Court (the Climate Resolve Action), pursuant to CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law, against the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (collectively, LA County) concerning LA County’s granting of approvals for the Centennial project, including certification of the final EIR and related findings (Centennial EIR); approval of associated general plan amendments; adoption of associated zoning; adoption of the Centennial Specific Plan; approval of a subdivision map for financing purposes; and adoption of a development agreement, among other approvals (collectively, the Centennial Approvals). Separately, on May 28, 2019, the CBD and the CNPS filed an action in Los Angeles County Superior Court (the CBD/CNPS Action) against LA County; like the Climate Resolve Action, the CBD/CNPS Action also challenges the Centennial Approvals. The Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Tejon Ranchcorp, and CFL are named as real parties-in-interest in both the Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action.
The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action collectively allege that LA County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law. The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action have been deemed “related” and, while not consolidated under court rules or the rules of civil procedure, the Los Angeles Superior Court judge (or Court) trying both cases determined during early trial management conferences to hold one set of hearings and issue one ruling on the matters as part of the adjudication. The Climate Resolve Action and CBD/CNPS Action seek to invalidate the Centennial Approvals and require LA County to revise the environmental documentation related to the Centennial project. The Court held three hearings for the CBD/CNPS Action and Climate Resolve Action on September 30, 2020, November 13, 2020, and January 8, 2021.
20


On April 5, 2021, the Court issued its decision denying the petition for writ of mandate by CBD/CNPS and granting the petition for writ of mandate filed by Climate Resolve. In granting Climate Resolve’s petition, the Court found three specific areas where the EIR for the project was lacking. The Court ruled that California’s Cap-and-Trade Program cannot be used as a compliance pathway for mitigating GHG impacts for the project and therefore further ruled that additional analysis will be required related to all feasible mitigation of GHG impacts. The Court also found that the EIR must provide additional analysis and explanation of how wildland fire risk on lands outside of the project site, posed by on-site ignition sources, is mitigated to less than significant. On April 19, 2021, CBD filed a motion for reconsideration with the Court on the denial of their petition for writ of mandate to be granted prevailing party status in its case based on the Court's conclusions in the Climate Resolve Action (“Motion for Reconsideration”). The hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration originally scheduled for August 13, 2021 was rescheduled to December 1, 2021 and further rescheduled as noted below.
On November 30, 2021, the Company, together with Ranchcorp and CFL, entered into a Settlement Agreement with Climate Resolve. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed as stated and obligated in the Settlement Agreement: (1) to make Centennial a net zero GHG emissions project through various on-site and off-site measures including, but not limited to, installing electric vehicle chargers and establishing and funding incentive programs for the purchase of electric vehicles; (2) to fund certain on-site and off-site fire protection and prevention measures; and (3) to provide annual public reports and create an organization to monitor progress towards these commitments. The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Settlement Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement. In exchange, Climate Resolve filed a request for dismissal of the Climate Resolve Action with prejudice from the Court. On December 3, 2021, the Court granted and entered Climate Resolve’s dismissal with prejudice concluding the Climate Resolve Action. On December 1, 2021, the Court continued CBD/CNPS Motion for Reconsideration to January 14, 2022, directing CBD/CNPS to evaluate the Settlement Agreement reached in the Climate Resolve Action to address issues surrounding remedies should CBD be granted prevailing party status in its case based on the Court’s conclusions in the Climate Resolve Action, and to evaluate the potential to settle or otherwise address CBD’s objections to the Centennial project. To that end, the Company met and conferred twice on January 4, 2022 and January 20, 2022. On January 14, 2022, the Court heard CBD/CNPS' Motion for Reconsideration and issued its decision granting CBD/CNPS prevailing party status based on the Court’s conclusions in the Climate Resolve Action.
The Court set a tentative hearing date of February 25, 2022 concerning the entry of final judgment and awarding of appropriate remedies, which was continued several times in 2022 either on the Court's own motion or at the request of the parties and was ultimately set for hearing on October 26, 2022. At the October 26th hearing, the Court agreed to: (a) hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration as to the successful challenges Climate Resolve prevailed upon within the Climate Resolve Action and ordered the Parties to appear on December 14, 2022 to hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration and (b) rule on the entry of final judgment and setting of remedies at a February 17, 2023 hearing date.
At the December 14, 2022 hearing, the Court denied the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration (finding that the Company’s motion failed to support the statutory elements necessary to prevail on such motion). At the February 17, 2023 hearing, the Court took into submission the Parties’ legal briefs and oral arguments. On March 22, 2023, the Court decided in favor of CBD/CNPS when the Judge signed CBD/CNPS’s proposed form of judgment, which included a full rescission of the Centennial project approvals previously issued by Los Angeles County. On May 26, 2023, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court, thereby appealing the Superior Court’s decision to the Second District of the California Court of Appeal. On June 27, 2023, CBD/CNPS cross-appealed the Superior Court’s ruling. Briefing at the Court of Appeal is complete and the parties are awaiting a hearing date. During the appeal process the Superior Court’s order of the rescission of project approvals have been placed on hold.
As the Company’s options to reinstate the project approvals remain pending, the monetary value of any adverse decision, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.
Proceedings Incidental to Business
From time to time, the Company is involved in other proceedings incidental to its business, including actions relating to employee claims, real estate disputes, contractor disputes and grievance hearings before labor regulatory agencies.
The outcome of these other proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these other proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, either individually or in the aggregate.

12.    RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan, or Benefit Plan, that covers eligible employees hired prior to February 1, 2007. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s five-year final average salary. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributable to service both to date and expected to be provided in the future. The Company funds the plan in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In April 2017, the Company froze the Benefit Plan as it relates to future benefit accruals for participants. The Company expects to contribute $165,000 to the Benefit Plan in 2024.
Benefit Plan assets consist of equity, debt and short-term money market investment funds. The Benefit Plan’s current investment policy changed during the third quarter of 2018. The policy's strategy seeks to minimize the volatility of the funding ratio. This objective will result in a prescribed asset mix between "return seeking" assets (e.g., stocks) and a bond portfolio (e.g., long duration bonds) according to a pre-determined customized investment strategy based on the Benefit Plan's funded status as the primary input. This path will be used as a reference point as to the mix of assets, which by design will de-emphasize the return seeking portion as the funded status improves. At September 30, 2024, the investment mixes were approximately at 99% debt and 1% money market funds. At December 31, 2023, the investment mixes were approximately 99% debt, and 1% money market funds. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the periodic pension cost is 4.85% in both 2024 and 2023. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 5.00% for both fiscal 2024 and 2023. The long-term rate of return on Benefit Plan assets is based on the historical returns within the plan and expectations for future returns.
Total pension and retirement earnings for the Benefit Plan was as follows:

The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP, to restore to executives designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors the full benefits under the pension plan that would otherwise be restricted by certain limitations now imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. In April 2017, the Company froze the SERP plan as it relates to the accrual of additional benefits.

14.    INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
The Company maintains investments in joint ventures. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting, unless the venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and meets the requirements for consolidation. The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2024 was $34,429,000. The equity in the income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $7,611,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The unconsolidated joint ventures have not been consolidated as of September 30, 2024, because the Company does not control the investments. The Company’s current joint ventures are as follows:
Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC – TA/Petro is an unconsolidated joint venture with TravelCenters of America Inc. for the development and management of travel plazas and convenience stores. The Company has 50% voting rights and shares 60% of profit and losses in this joint venture. It houses multiple commercial eating establishments, as well as diesel and gasoline operations in TRCC. The Company does not control the investment due to it having only 50% voting rights, and because the partner in the joint venture is the managing partner and performs all of the day-to-day operations and has significant decision-making authority regarding key business components, such as fuel inventory and pricing at the facility. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $25,374,000 as of September 30, 2024.
Majestic Realty Co. – Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, is a privately-held developer and owner of industrial and commercial properties throughout the United States. The Company partnered with Majestic to form five active 50/50 joint ventures to acquire, develop, manage, and operate industrial real estate at TRCC. The partners have equal voting rights and equally share in the profit and loss of each joint venture. All outstanding debt attributed to our joint ventures with Majestic have met their respective debt covenants, and hence were not subject to an effective guarantee at September 30, 2024. For those investments in a deficit position, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company would reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income.
On March 29, 2022, TRC-MRC 5 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of an approximately 446,400 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction of the building was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, and the joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space. The joint venture refinanced the construction loan in February 2024 with a promissory note. The note matures on February 3, 2035, and had an outstanding balance of $52,984,000 as of September 30, 2024. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,441,000.
On March 25, 2021, TRC-MRC 4 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of a 629,274 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction of the building was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in March 2023 with a promissory note. The note matures on March 1, 2033, and had an outstanding balance of $61,144,000 as of September 30, 2024. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $6,106,000.

In November 2018, TRC-MRC 3, LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, leasing, and management of a 579,040 square foot industrial building on the Company's property at TRCC-East. TRC-MRC 3, LLC qualified as a VIE from inception, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary therefore it does not consolidate TRC-MRC 3, LLC in its financial statements. The construction of the building was completed in 2019, and the joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space to two tenants. In March 2019, the joint venture entered into a promissory note with a financial institution to finance the construction of the building. The note matures on May 1, 2030 and had an outstanding principal balance of $32,952,000 as of September 30, 2024. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $242,000 as of September 30, 2024.
In August 2016, the Company partnered with Majestic to form TRC-MRC 2, LLC to acquire, lease, and maintain a fully occupied warehouse at TRCC-West. The partnership acquired the 651,909 square foot building for $24,773,000, and was largely financed through a promissory note. The promissory note was refinanced on June 1, 2018 with a $25,240,000 promissory note. The note matures on July 3, 2028 and had an outstanding principal balance of $21,414,000 as of September 30, 2024. The building was 100% leased as of September 30, 2024. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $455,000.
In September 2016, TRC-MRC 1, LLC was formed to develop and operate an approximately 480,480 square foot industrial building at TRCC-East. The joint venture completed construction in 2017. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in December 2018 with a mortgage loan. The original balance of the mortgage loan was $25,030,000, of which $21,642,000 was outstanding as of September 30, 2024. Since inception of the joint venture, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,117,000.
TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC – This joint venture was formed in 2013 with Rockefeller Group Development Corporation, or Rockefeller to develop, own, and manage a net leasable 326,000 square foot outlet center on land at TRCC-East. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s equity investment balance in this joint venture was $8,813,000. The Company controls 50% of the voting interests of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC; thus, it does not control the joint venture by voting interest alone. The Company is the named managing member. The managing member’s responsibilities relate to the routine day-to-day activities of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC. However, all operating decisions during the development period and ongoing operations, including the setting and monitoring of the budget, leasing, marketing, financing, and selection of the contractor for any construction, are jointly made by both members of the joint venture. Therefore, the Company concluded that both members have significant participating rights that are sufficient to overcome the presumption of the Company controlling the joint venture through it being named the managing member. Therefore, the investment in TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC is being accounted for under the equity method. On August 16, 2023, the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture successfully extended the maturity date of its term note with a financial institution from May 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. In connection with the loan extension, the joint venture also reduced the outstanding amount by $6,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the term note was $20,626,000. The Company and Rockefeller guarantee the performance of the debt.
Centennial Founders, LLC – CFL is a joint venture with TRI Pointe Homes to pursue the entitlement and development of land that the Company owns in Los Angeles County. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned 93.62% of CFL.
The Company’s investment balance in each of its unconsolidated joint ventures differs from its capital accounts in the respective joint ventures. The variance represents the difference between the cost basis of assets contributed by the Company and the agreed upon fair value of those assets.
Unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and condensed balance sheet information of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

OVERVIEW
We are a diversified real estate development and agribusiness company committed to responsibly using our land and resources to meet the housing, employment, and lifestyle needs of Californians and to create value for our shareholders. In support of these objectives, we have been investing in land planning and entitlement activities for new commercial/industrial and resort/residential land developments and in infrastructure improvements within our active industrial development. Our prime asset is approximately 270,000 acres of contiguous, largely undeveloped land that, at its most southerly border, is 60 miles north of Los Angeles and, at its most northerly border, is 15 miles east of Bakersfield.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our primary business objective is to maximize long-term shareholder value through the improvement and monetization of our land-based assets. A key element of our strategy is to entitle and then develop large-scale mixed-use master planned residential and commercial/industrial real estate development projects to serve the growing populations of Southern and Central California. An active example of this strategy is the TRCC mixed-use development, which was entitled and prevailed in litigation in 2007.

Our mixed-use master planned residential developments include up to 35,278 housing units, and more than 35 million square feet of commercial space. We have obtained entitlements on MV and prevailed in litigation in 2012, and received the first approved final map for the project consisting of 401 residential lots and parcels for hospitality, amenities, and public uses. Grapevine at Tejon Ranch, or Grapevine, was reapproved unanimously by the Kern County Board of Supervisors in 2019 and prevailed in litigation in 2021. Centennial at Tejon Ranch, or Centennial, had entitlements approved in 2019 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. These approvals were litigated in two lawsuits filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court in May 2019 and we have since worked on defending and addressing the ongoing litigation, including considering all options to address the Superior Court’s January 2022 decision and the Superior Court’s March 22, 2023 final judgment. On May 26, 2023, we filed a Notice of Appeal, thereby appealing the Superior Court’s decision to the Second District of the California Court of Appeal. On June 27, 2023, CBD/CNPS cross-appealed the Superior Court’s ruling. Briefing at the Court of Appeal is complete and the Company is awaiting a hearing date. During the appeals process the Superior Court’s order of the rescission of project approvals has been placed on hold. See Note 11 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Centennial litigation.

We are currently executing on value creation as we are engaged in construction, commercial sales, and leasing at our fully operational mixed-use development, TRCC. During the first quarter of 2024, we began construction of the first phase of a multi-family community, Terra Vista at Tejon, within TRCC. The development is located on a 22-acre site located immediately north of the Outlets at Tejon. In this first phase, we are developing 228 units of multi-family residences, in seven apartment buildings, as well as a clubhouse with pool and fitness facilities. The Conditional Use Permit approved by Kern County Board of Supervisors authorized up to a maximum of 495 multi-family residences to be constructed. Our goal is to deliver the first phase on budget and on time, and we are currently meeting both objectives. All of these efforts are supported by diverse revenue streams generated from other operations, including: farming, mineral resources, ranch operations, and our various joint ventures.
Our Business
We currently operate in five reporting segments: commercial/industrial real estate development; resort/residential real estate development; mineral resources; farming; and ranch operations.
Activities within the commercial/industrial real estate development segment include planning and permitting of land for development; construction of infrastructure; construction of pre-leased buildings; construction of buildings to be leased or sold; and the sale of land to third-parties for their own development. The commercial/industrial real estate development segment also includes activities related to the power plant lease and communications leases.
At the heart of the commercial/industrial real estate development segment is TRCC, a 20 million square foot mixed-use development on Interstate 5 just north of the Los Angeles basin. Over eight million square feet of industrial, commercial and retail space has already been developed or is under development, including distribution centers for IKEA, Caterpillar, Nestlé, Famous Footwear, L'Oreal, Camping World, Sunrise Brands, Dollar General and RectorSeal. TRCC sits on both sides of Interstate 5, giving distributors immediate access to the west coast’s principal north-south goods movement corridor.
We are also involved in multiple joint ventures within TRCC with several partners that help us expand our commercial/industrial business activities:
A joint venture with TravelCenters of America that owns and operates two travel and truck stop facilities, comprised of five separate gas stations with convenience stores and fast-food restaurants within TRCC-West and TRCC-East.
A joint venture with Rockefeller Development Group, or Rockefeller:
TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC operates the Outlets at Tejon, a net leasable 326,000 square foot shopping experience in TRCC-East.
Five joint ventures with Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, to develop, manage, and operate five industrial buildings comprising of 2.8 million square feet of industrial space all within TRCC and all fully leased.
On October 4, 2024, we entered into a joint venture with Dedeaux Properties to develop, manage, and operate an industrial building of 510,500 square feet of space.
The resort/residential real estate development segment is actively involved in the land entitlement and development process internally and through a joint venture. Our active developments within this segment are MV, Centennial, and Grapevine, with Grapevine North representing a fourth opportunity in this segment.
MV encompasses a total of 26,417 acres, of which 5,082 acres is expected to be used for a mixed-use development that will include housing, retail, and commercial components. MV is entitled for 3,450 homes, 160,000 square feet of commercial development, 750 hotel keys, and more than 21,335 acres of open space. The first final map for the project consisting of 401 residential lots and parcels for hospitality, amenities, and public uses was approved by Kern County in December 2021;
The Centennial development is a mixed-use master planned community development encompassing 12,323 acres of our land within Los Angeles County. Upon completion of Centennial, it is estimated that the community will include approximately 19,333 homes and 10.1 million square feet of commercial development, including nearly 3,500 affordable units. See Note 11 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to current litigation;
Grapevine is an 8,010-acre development area located on the San Joaquin Valley floor area of our lands, adjacent to TRCC. Upon completion of Grapevine, the community will include 12,000 homes, 5.1 million square feet of commercial development, and more than 3,367 acres of open space and parks; and
Immediately northeast of Grapevine is Grapevine North, a 7,655-acre development area, which is currently used for agricultural purposes. Identified as a development area in the RWA, Grapevine North presents a significant opportunity for future development. Grapevine North may feature mixed-use community development similar to Grapevine at Tejon Ranch, or other development uses as appropriate based upon market conditions at the time.

Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, for a more detailed description of our active developments within the resort/residential real estate development segment.
Our mineral resources segment generates revenues from oil and gas royalty leases, rock and aggregate mining leases, a lease with National Cement Company of California Inc., and water sales.
The farming segment produces revenues from the sale of wine grapes, almonds, and pistachios.
Lastly, the ranch operations segment consists of game management revenues and ancillary land uses such as grazing leases and filming.
Summary of Third Quarter 2024 Performance
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,836,000 compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $341,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The primary driver of this $1,495,000 increase in net loss was the performance of our farming segment, which experienced a $3,495,000 decrease in operating profit compared to the prior period. This decrease was primarily driven by the lack of pistachio crop yield in the current period, primarily due to insufficient chilling hours, coupled with 2024 being a down-bearing year following a substantial harvest last season. Historically, the pistachio harvest begins in the third quarter, but in the prior year period, the harvest was delayed due to unusual weather conditions. This delay impacted the timing of cost recognition, resulting in lower overall farming costs for the third quarter of 2023. Partially offsetting this decrease was a $2,168,000 increase in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures, primarily driven by the improved fuel margins of our TA/Petro joint venture. During the quarter, the joint venture experienced a 23.6% decrease in fuel cost of sales compared with the prior quarter, and this translates to an 86.8% improvement in fuel margins.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,793,000 compared to a net income attributable to common stockholders of $1,700,000 for the same period in 2023. The primary driver of this change was the $4,365,000 decrease in operating profits within the farming segment, which was primarily due to the lack of pistachio crop yield as stated above. Additionally, operating income for the mineral resources segment decreased by $1,995,000 due to limited opportunities to sell water. We also observed an increase in corporate expenses of $1,970,000 mainly due to higher stock compensation expenses, and higher professional service fees of $1,237,000 within the resort/residential segment. The above unfavorable variances were partially offset by improved equity of earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures of $2,995,000 associated with higher fuel margins of TA/Petro and an increase in tax benefits of $3,905,000 due to a net loss position in the year-to-date results, combined with a lower effective tax rate due to the Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) adjustments.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provides a narrative discussion of our results of operations. It contains the results of operations for each reporting segment of the business and is followed by a discussion of our financial position. It is useful to read the reporting segment information in conjunction with Note 13 (Reporting Segments and Related Information) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our interim financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimates that are likely to occur from period to period, use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, or would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of costs, allocation of costs related to land sales and leases, stock compensation, and our future ability to utilize deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our critical accounting policies have not changed since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Please refer to that filing for a description of our critical accounting policies. Please also refer to Note 1 (Basis of Presentation) in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a discussion regarding newly adopted accounting principles.

The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreases in landscaping and other revenue of $162,000, TRCC management fees and reimbursements of $149,000 and Pastoria Energy Facility revenues of $104,000 during the period. The decrease in management fees is primarily attributed to the construction completion of the TRC-MRC 5 industrial building in 2023. The decrease in landscaping and other is primarily due to the increase in recoverable fees earned in 2023 due to the additional services provided to tenants triggered by unexpected weather damage that did not occur in 2024.
Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $2,088,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $49,000, or 2%, from $2,137,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower property tax expense partially offset by higher insurance cost over the comparative period.

Commercial/industrial real estate development segment revenues were $8,497,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $209,000, or 2%, from $8,706,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The primary driver of this decrease was the decrease of $264,000 in revenue from Pastoria Energy Facility due to lower spark spread payments for the period. Additionally, TRCC management fees decreased by $74,000 or 9%, which were partially offset by an increase in TRCC leasing revenue of $69,000 or 5% due to rent escalations.
Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $6,005,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $488,000, or 9%, from $5,517,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to higher insurance cost of $294,000 and an increase in bad debt reserve of $134,000 due to a tenant in default.
The logistics operators currently located within TRCC have demonstrated success in serving all of California and the western region of the United States, and we showcase their success in our marketing efforts. We expect to continue to focus our marketing strategy for TRCC on the significant labor and logistical benefits of our site, the pro-business approach of Kern County, and the demonstrated success of the current tenants and owners within our development. Our location fits within the logistics model that many companies are using, which favors large, centralized distribution facilities which have been strategically located to maximize the balance of inbound and outbound efficiencies, rather than many decentralized smaller distribution centers. The world-class logistics operators located within TRCC have demonstrated success through utilization of this model. With access to markets of over 40 million people for next-day delivery service, they are also demonstrating success with e-commerce fulfillment.
Our FTZ designation allows businesses to secure the many benefits and cost reductions associated with streamlined movement of goods in and out of the trade zone. This FTZ designation is further supplemented by the AKIP adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors. AKIP aims to expand and enhance Kern County's competitiveness by taking affirmative steps to attract new businesses and to encourage the growth and resilience of existing businesses. AKIP provides incentives, such as assistance in obtaining tax incentives, building supporting infrastructure, and workforce development. 
We believe the FTZ and AKIP, along with our ability to provide fully entitled, shovel-ready land parcels to support buildings of any size, including buildings one million square feet or larger, can provide us with a potential marketing advantage. Our marketing efforts target the Inland Empire region of Southern California, the Santa Clarita Valley of northern Los Angeles County, the northern part of the San Fernando Valley (due to the limited availability of new product and high real estate costs in these locations), and the San Joaquin Valley of California. We continue to analyze the market and evaluate expansions of industrial buildings for lease either on our own or in partnerships, as we have done with the buildings developed within our joint ventures.
A potential disadvantage to our development strategy is our distance from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in comparison to the warehouse/distribution centers located in the Inland Empire, a large industrial area located east of Los Angeles, which continues its expansion eastward beyond Riverside and San Bernardino, to include Perris, Moreno Valley, and Beaumont. As development in the Inland Empire continues to move east and farther away from the ports, the potential disadvantage of our distance from the ports is being mitigated.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, vacancy rates in the Inland Empire continued to climb but at a much slower pace to 6.7% as the construction pipeline posted its lowest quarterly total in eight years. Average asking rents declined for the fifth consecutive quarter. The San Fernando Valley and Ventura County industrial markets continue to experience tight conditions, with historically low vacancy and availability rates. Vacancy increased marginally to 1.9% in San Fernando Valley and remained unchanged at 2.2% in Ventura County, while overall net absorption was negative in both markets. Average asking rent experienced a slight quarter-over-quarter decline in the San Fernando Valley, dropping by $0.06 to $1.62, and by $0.09 in Ventura County to $1.17. See below for the vacancy rates and average asking rent of Inland Empire, San Fernando Valley and Ventura County.

Industrial users seeking larger spaces are continuing to go further north into neighboring Kern County, and particularly, TRCC, which has attracted increased attention as market conditions continue to tighten. Additionally, TRCC is in a position to capture tenant awareness due to our ability to provide a competitive alternative for users in the Inland Empire and the Santa Clarita Valley.

We expect our commercial/industrial real estate development segment to continue to experience costs, net of amounts capitalized, primarily related to professional service fees, marketing costs, planning costs, and staffing costs, as we continue to pursue development opportunities. From a macroeconomic perspective, the tightening of capital markets may cause a near-term slowdown in new commercial real estate developments.
The actual timing and completion of development is difficult to predict, due to the uncertainties of the market. Infrastructure development and marketing activities and costs could continue to increase over several years, as we develop our land holdings. We will also continue to evaluate land resources to determine the highest and best uses for our land holdings. Future land sales are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities. Our goal in the future is to increase land value and create future revenue growth through planning and development of commercial and industrial properties.
Real Estate – Resort/Residential:
We are in the preliminary stages of property development for this segment; hence, no revenues or profits are attributed to this segment.
Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $328,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $39,000 from $367,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $71,000 in payroll expense recorded over the comparative period, partially offset by higher dues and membership fees of $11,000 and higher insurance cost of $11,000.
Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $2,316,000 for the first nine months of 2024, an increase of $1,237,000, or 115%, from $1,079,000 for the first nine months of 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an additional $1,250,000 of professional service fees and planning costs related to capital efforts tied to our master planned communities.
Our long-term business plan of developing the communities of MV, Centennial, and Grapevine remains unchanged. Long-term macro fundamentals, primarily California's large population and household formation, will support housing demand in our region. California also has a significant documented housing shortage, which we believe our communities will help ease. A majority of the expenditures and capital investment to be incurred within our resort/residential real estate segment are expected to continue to focus on the mixed-use master planned communities of Centennial, Grapevine, and Mountain Village.
As we move forward with our master planned communities, we expect to explore funding opportunities for the future development of our projects. Such funding opportunities could come from a variety of sources, such as joint ventures with financial partners, debt financing, or our issuance of additional common stock.

The increase in revenues was primarily due to an increase in water sales revenue of $84,000 and an increase in cement royalties of $56,000. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $58,000 in oil and gas revenue due to lower production volume.

The reduction in revenues was primarily attributable to a decline in water sales revenue of $3,355,000 due to back-to-back above average rainfall years in California, which severely limited water sales opportunities. Reimbursable revenues also decreased $766,000 due to a mineral resources tax reassessment for this segment.
Mineral resources segment expenses were $5,043,000 for the first nine months of 2024, a decrease of $1,948,000, or 28%, when compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower water cost of sales recognized of $1,097,000, and a decrease in property tax expense of $738,000 when compared to the previous period.
As anticipated changes arise in the future related to groundwater management in California, such as limits on groundwater pumping, we believe our water assets, including water banking operations, ground water recharge programs, and access to water contracts like those we have purchased in the past, will become even more important and valuable in servicing our projects and providing opportunities for water sales to third-parties.
Prices for oil and natural gas fluctuate in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, such as: changes in domestic and global supply and demand, domestic and global inventory levels, political and regulatory conditions in California, and international disputes. Production has seen an overall decline in California as a result of regulatory conditions.

Almond sales revenue increased by $922,000, due to higher pricing and more crops available for sale. Comparatively, we sold 664,000 and 345,000 pounds of almonds during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in wine grape sales revenue during the same period due to lower production volume for our wine grapes harvested as of September 30, 2024.
Farming segment expenses were $6,252,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $4,095,000, or 190%, from $2,157,000 during the same period in 2023. This increase was primarily due to higher almond cost of sales recognized in the period associated with higher crop sales volume. Additionally, pistachio crop cost of sales was $2,622,000 higher over the comparative period due to the timing of the harvest of the crop. The late pistachio harvest in the 2023 period delayed the timing of cost recognition, which historically occurred in the third quarter, while in the current year period, all cultural costs related to pistachio crop were written off due to the lack of pistachio yield. In 2024, the pistachio trees did not yield a crop, largely due to the low chilling hours and the off-cycle nature of this year, following a significant crop last season. An insurance claim for this crop has been filed.

Our almond, pistachio, and wine grape crop sales are highly seasonal, with most of our sales occurring during the third and fourth quarters. Each year, almonds and pistachios are sold at market prices, while grapes are sold to wineries at contracted prices. Our farming operations during 2024 continued to experience higher costs of production, such as fuel costs, fertilizer costs, pest control costs, and labor costs. The almond industry is estimating the 2024 almond crop at 2.6 billion pounds down from the previous report of over 3.0 billion pounds. This estimate along with a lower inventory carry forward has helped to improve pricing.
Weather conditions can also impact the number of tree and vine dormant hours, which are integral to tree and vine growth. Farmers in California faced a warm winter negatively impacting dormant hours primarily related to pistachios, which can impact production within pistachios. In addition, late spring rains negatively impacted 2024 grape production as the rains occurred during the grape bloom. The timing of the rains also increased cultural costs within grapes to fight higher levels of mildew in the vineyards.
Labor costs, both internal and through labor contractors, continue to increase and the Company expects this trend to continue over the near future. The Company utilizes external labor contractors, as necessary, for large projects, such as pruning and harvesting, as a way to manage our labor needs. From a broader inflationary standpoint, the Company continues to expect an increase in production costs, most notably chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides, and fuel costs.
Lastly, the impact of state ground water management laws on new plantings and continuing crop production remains unknown. Water delivery and water availability continues to be a long-term concern within California. Any limitation of delivery of SWP water, and the absence of available alternatives during drought periods, could potentially cause permanent damage to orchards and vineyards throughout California. While this could impact us, we believe we have sufficient water resources available to meet our requirements for the next crop year.

Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further financial discussion of the results of our joint ventures.

General Outlook
Our operations are seasonal and future results of operations cannot reliably be predicted based on quarterly results. Historically, our largest percentage of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Real estate activity and leasing activities are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities and therefore are difficult to predict from period to period.

For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could potentially adversely affect us, please refer to Part I, Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, or Annual Report, and to Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report. For further discussion, please refer to Note 11 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Income Taxes
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we had an income tax benefit of $286,000 compared to income tax expense of $3,619,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rates approximated 14% and 68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had income taxes receivable of $1,814,000. We classify interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expenses. Our effective tax rates differ from statutory rates primarily because of permanent differences related to Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). The Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred due to changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Cash Flow and Liquidity
Our financial position allows us to pursue our strategies of continued development of TRCC, funding of operating activities, land entitlement, development, and conservation. Accordingly, we have established well-defined priorities for our available cash, including investing in core operating segments to achieve profitable future growth. We have historically funded our operations with cash flows from operating activities, investment proceeds, and short-term borrowings from our bank credit facilities. In the past, we have also issued common stock and used the proceeds for capital investment activities.
To enhance shareholder value over the long-term, we expect to continue to make investments in our real estate segments to secure land entitlement approvals, build infrastructure for our developments, invest in to be leased assets, provide adequate water supplies, and provide funds for general land development activities. Within our farming segment, we intend to make investments, as needed, to improve efficiency and add capacity to its operations, when it is profitable to do so.
Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $41,261,000 as of September 30, 2024, a decrease of $23,202,000 from $64,463,000 as of December 31, 2023.

During the first nine months of 2024, our operations provided $1,045,000 primarily related to cash generated by a change in our operating assets. Collection of accounts receivables provided $5,200,000 of cash, which was partially offset by cash used in growing our crop inventories of $3,365,000.
During the first nine months of 2023, our operations provided $14,750,000 primarily as a result of distributions of earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.
Investing Activities
During the first nine months of 2024, investing activities used $17,377,000. The increase in investing activities is related to the construction of the Terra Vista and TRCC infrastructure, and we expect the costs to continue into 2025 for the first phase of this multi-family project.
We made capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll (exclusive of stock compensation), of $40,995,000, which included predevelopment activities for our master planned communities; $2,088,000 consisting of permitting efforts for MV; $1,014,000 consisting of permitting efforts for Grapevine; and costs related to litigation defense for Centennial of $3,110,000. At TRCC, we spent $16,750,000 of construction cost on Terra Visa at Tejon and $12,341,000 on infrastructure improvements at TRCC-East. Within our farming segment, we spent $4,531,000, which included cultural costs for orchards currently classified as under development and replacement of machinery and equipment. Additionally, we used $4,616,000 to acquire water assets. We had marketable securities of $85,769,000 that matured, and we reinvested $66,640,000. Lastly, we received proceeds of $5,783,000 from joint venture distributions and reimbursements of $3,309,000 from a Community Facilities District.

During the first nine months of 2023, investing activities used $6,805,000. We made capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll (exclusive of stock compensation), of $13,513,000, which includes predevelopment activities for our master planned communities; $1,444,000 consisting of permitting efforts for MV; $907,000 consisting of permitting efforts for Grapevine; and costs related to litigation defense for Centennial of $2,123,000. At TRCC, we spent $4,492,000 on infrastructure improvements at TRCC-East. Within our farming segment, we spent $3,983,000, which includes cultural costs for orchards currently classified as under development and replacing machinery and equipment. Additionally, we used $6,070,000 to acquire water assets. We had marketable securities of $91,831,000 that matured, and we reinvested $87,272,000. We contributed $3,750,000 into our unconsolidated joint ventures during the period. Lastly, we received proceeds of $10,645,200, and $1,324,000 from joint venture distributions, and water sales, respectively.
As we move forward, we anticipate we will continue to use cash from operations, proceeds from the maturity of securities, and anticipated distributions from joint ventures to fund real estate project investments, including the investments summarized below.
Our estimated capital investment, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll, for the remainder of 2024 is primarily related to our real estate projects. These estimated investments include approximately $11,488,000 of construction costs for the Terra Vista at Tejon multi-family project phase 1 development and $4,016,000 of infrastructure development at TRCC-East to support the continued commercial retail and industrial development, water treatment system improvements, and expansion of the wastewater treatment plant for future anticipated absorption. We also expect to invest up to $2,307,000 for land planning, litigation/appeals, federal and state agency permitting activities, and development activities at MV, Centennial, and Grapevine during the remainder of 2024.
We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $3,175,000 and $1,828,000, respectively, and is classified within real estate development. We also capitalized payroll costs related to development, pre-construction, and construction projects, which aggregated $2,179,000 and $1,744,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Financing Activities
During the first nine months of 2024, financing activities provided $11,794,000, which was attributable to borrowings on the line of credit of $12,000,000 to fund construction projects and other ongoing development such as Terra Vista and TRCC infrastructure, partially offset by the tax payments on vested share grants of $206,000.
During the first nine months of 2023, financing activities used $3,915,000, which was attributable to long-term debt service of $1,321,000, and tax payments on vested share grants of $2,594,000.
It is difficult to accurately predict cash flows due to the nature of our businesses and fluctuating economic conditions. Our earnings and cash flows will be affected from period to period by the commodity nature of our farming and mineral operations, the timing of sales and leases of property within our development projects, and the beginning of development within our residential projects. The timing of sales and leases within our development projects is difficult to predict due to the time necessary to complete the development process and negotiate sales or lease contracts. Often, the timing aspect of land development can lead to particular years or periods having more or less earnings than comparable periods. Based on our experience, we believe we will have adequate cash flows, cash balances, and availability on our line of credit over the next twelve months to fund internal operations. As we move forward with the completion of the litigation, permitting and engineering design for our master planned communities and prepare to move into the development stage, we may need to secure additional funding through either the issuance of equity and/or by securing other forms of financing such as joint venture equity and debt financing.
We regularly evaluate our short-term and long-term capital investment needs. Based on the timing of capital investments, we may supplement our current cash, marketable securities, and operational funding sources through the sale of common stock and the incurrence of additional debt.
Capital Structure and Financial Condition
At September 30, 2024, total capitalization at book value was $543,625,000, consisting of $59,942,000 of debt and $483,683,000 of equity, resulting in a debt-to-total-capitalization ratio of approximately 11.0%.

On November 17, 2023, we entered into a Credit Agreement with AgWest Farm Credit, PCA, as administrative agent and letter of credit intermediary (Administrative Agent), and certain other lenders, collectively, the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility provides TRC with (i) a revolving credit line (RCL) in the amount of $160,000,000 and (ii) the option for TRC to utilize a letter of credit sub-facility in the amount of $15,000,000 (LOC Sub-Facility). The LOC Sub-Facility is part of, and not in addition to, the RCL. As further summarized below, the RCL requires interest only payments and has a maturity date of January 1, 2029.
Upon closing of the Revolving Credit Facility, funds from the RCL were used to pay off and close out the existing Bank of America, N.A. Term Note (the Bank of America Term Note) and Revolving Line of Credit Note. The amount of this pay off was $47,078,564 plus accrued interest and fees on the Bank of America Term Note. We evaluated the debt exchange under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 470 and determined that the exchange should be treated as a debt extinguishment. Future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will be used for ongoing working capital requirements, including to fund future construction projects, farming and ranching operations, and other general corporate purposes.
To maintain availability of funds, undrawn amounts under the RCL will accrue an unused fee of 15 basis points per annum except that, for the LOC Sub-Facility, TRC will incur a fee of 2.00% per annum for each letter of credit issued to TRC. TRC’s ability to borrow/draw additional funds is subject to compliance with certain financial and other covenants, some of which are further described below, and the continuing accuracy of certain representations and warranties contained in the Revolving Credit Facility.
The interest rate per annum applicable to the Revolving Credit Facility is one-month term SOFR plus an interest rate spread that is based on TRC’s consolidated net liabilities to equity ratio (NLER). The interest rate spread for the NLER has three tiers: (1) 2.75% if the NLER is 55% or more; (2) 2.5% if the NLER is between 35% and less than 55%; and (3) 2.25% if the NLER is less than 35%. The interest rate spread in the previous sentence may effectively be reduced by applying a patronage credit for TRC’s participation in the farm credit program, which patronage credit historically has been (for reference and information purposes only and not as a guarantee of future patronage credit) between 100-125 basis points. The Administrative Agent pays the patronage credit annually in the form of a dividend. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's NLER was in tier 3, or less than 35%, and the applicable interest rate spread was 2.25%.
The Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of interest only during the term, at which point the full drawn amount, plus accrued interest, must be repaid by the maturity date, if TRC has not earlier repaid the borrowed amount or extended the maturity date. The RCL may be repaid in part, or in full, by TRC at any time during the term without penalty. Certain events of default (as described in the Revolving Credit Facility) allow acceleration of repayment of borrowed funds, interest and other fees. The Revolving Credit Facility is unsecured, but the agreement provides the Administrative Agent a springing lien on TRC’s wholly owned, unencumbered assets, exclusive of assets subject to negative pledge, if one or more covenants is breached.
The Revolving Credit Facility requires compliance with three financial covenants: (a) total liabilities divided by tangible net worth not greater than 0.55 to 1.00 at each year end; (b) a debt service coverage ratio not less than 1.50 to 1.00 as of each year end on a rolling four quarter basis; and (c) a liquidity ratio not less than 2.00 to 1.00 at each year end.
The Revolving Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants that limits our ability to, among other things, make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness and issue guaranties, consummate certain asset sales, acquisitions or mergers, make investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock, make a change in capital ownership, or incur liens on any assets.
The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including: failure to make required payments; failure to comply with terms of the Credit Facility; bankruptcy and insolvency. The Credit Facility contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, which are typical for credit facilities of this type.
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all financial covenants.
We expect that current and future capital resource requirements will be provided primarily from current cash and marketable securities, cash flow from ongoing operations, distributions from joint ventures, proceeds from the sale of developed and undeveloped land parcels, potential sales of assets, additional use of debt or drawdowns against our line of credit, proceeds from the reimbursement of public infrastructure costs through CFD bond debt (described below under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”), or issuance of additional common stock.
In May 2022, we filed an updated shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that went effective in May 2022. Under the shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell in the future through one or more offerings not to exceed $200,000,000 of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or any combination of the foregoing. The shelf registration allows for efficient and timely access to capital markets and, when combined with our other potential funding sources just noted, provides us with a variety of capital funding options that can then be used and appropriately matched to our funding needs.
41


We had a strong liquidity position at September 30, 2024 with $41,261,000 in cash and securities and $100,058,000 available on our RLC to meet any short-term liquidity needs. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) and Note 7 (Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.
We continue to expect that substantial investments will be required to develop our land assets. To meet these capital requirements, we may need to secure additional debt financing and continue to renew our existing credit facilities. In addition to debt financing, we will use other capital alternatives, such as joint ventures with financial partners, sales of assets, and/or the issuance of common stock. We will use a combination of the above funding sources to properly match funding requirements with the assets or development project being funded. There is no assurance that we can obtain financing or that we can obtain financing at favorable terms. We believe we have adequate capital resources to fund our cash needs and our capital investment requirements in the near term as described earlier in the cash flow and liquidity discussions.

1 - The increase represents our contractual commitments related to our multifamily development.
The table above includes only those contracts that include fixed or minimum obligations. It does not include normal purchases that are made in the ordinary course of business.
Estimated water payments include the Nickel Family, LLC water contract, which obligates us to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water annually through 2044 and SWP contracts with WRMWSD, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, and Dudley-Ridge Water Storage District. These contracts for the supply of future water run through 2035. Please refer to Note 5 (Long-Term Water Assets) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding water assets.
Our cash contract commitments consist of contracts in various stages of completion related to infrastructure development within our industrial and multi-family developments and entitlement costs related to our industrial and residential development projects. Also, included in the cash contract commitments are estimated fees earned in 2014 by a consultant, related to the entitlement of the Grapevine Development Area. We exited a consulting contract in 2014 related to the Grapevine Development and are obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of successful receipt of all project permits and entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after project permits have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fees will not be finalized until the future payment dates. We believe that net savings from exiting the contract over this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.
As discussed in Note 12 (Retirement Plans) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we have long-term liabilities for deferred employee compensation, including pension and supplemental retirement plans. Payments in the above table reflect estimates of future defined benefit plan contributions from us to the plan trust, estimates of payments to employees from the plan trust, and estimates of future payments to employees from us that are in the SERP program. We expect to contribute $165,000 to our defined benefit plan in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
TRPFFA is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within our Kern County developments. TRPFFA created two CFDs, the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of our land to secure payment of special taxes related to $19,540,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of our land to secure payments of special taxes related to $95,660,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $18,605,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA.
42


As of September 30, 2024, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $222,746,000; $20,626,000 was attributable to the loan for TRCC/Rock Outlet joint venture. This loan was 100% guaranteed at September 30, 2024. All other outstanding debt attributed to our joint ventures have met their respective debt covenants, and hence were not subject to an effective guarantee at September 30, 2024. We do not provide a guarantee on the $11,984,000 of debt related to our joint venture with TA/Petro.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, a non-GAAP financial measure, and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of our core operations, for financial and operational decision making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA, excluding stock compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors relevant and useful information because it permits investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis, before the effects of taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock compensation expense. By excluding interest expense and income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow investors to measure our performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allow for a more meaningful comparison of our performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries. We believe that excluding charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other companies without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as measures of our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and widely used measures of performance, they do not represent net (loss) income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. Further, our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Net operating income (NOI) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and gain or loss on sales of real estate. We believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it primarily reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our commercial real estate assets.

We utilize NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures as a measure of financial or operating performance that is not specifically defined by GAAP. We believe NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures provides investors with additional information concerning operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We also use this measure internally to monitor the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Our computation of this non-GAAP measure may not be the same as similar measures reported by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures or to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity nor are they indicative of cash flows from operating and financial activities of our unconsolidated joint ventures.
The following schedule reconciles net income of unconsolidated joint ventures to NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company due to adverse changes in financial or commodity market prices or rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of interest rates and commodity prices.
Financial Market Risks
Our exposure to financial market risks includes changes to interest rates and credit risks related to marketable securities, interest rates related to our outstanding indebtedness and trade receivables.
The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal, while at the same time maximizing yields and prudently managing risk. To achieve this objective and limit interest rate exposure, we limit our investments to securities with a maturity of less than five years and an investment grade rating from Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Our current RCL has a $59,942,000 outstanding balance. The interest rate on this line of credit can float at a rate equal to one-month term SOFR plus 2.25% for an effective rate of 7.45% at September 30, 2024. During the term of this RCL (which matures in January 2029), we can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary outstanding balances.
Market risk related to our farming inventories ultimately depends on the value of almonds, grapes, and pistachios at the time of payment or sale. Credit risk related to our receivables depends upon the financial condition of our customers. Based on historical experience with our current customers, and periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions, we believe our credit risk is minimal. Market risk related to our farming inventories is discussed below in the section pertaining to commodity price exposure.
The following tables provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The tables present our debt obligations and marketable securities and their related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

Commodity Price Exposure
Farming inventories and accounts receivable are exposed to adverse price fluctuations. Farming inventories consist of farming, cultural, and processing costs associated with crop production. Farming inventory costs are recorded as incurred. Historically, these costs have been recovered through crop sales occurring after harvest.
As of September 30, 2024, there were no receivables that were subject to commodity price fluctuations given that there were no pistachio crop receivables that were at risk to changing prices.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
At the end of the period covered by this report, management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that all information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period required by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Executive Committee shall also be responsible for approving the general strategic direction of the Project and for establishing the policies and procedures to be followed by the Administrative Member. (b) Composition of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee shall be composed of four (4) representatives (individually, a "Representative" and collectively, the "Representatives"). Each Member shall appoint two (2) Representatives to the Executive Committee. Tejon hereby appoints Allen Lyda ("Lyda") and Hugh McMahon ("McMahon") as its initial Representatives. DP hereby appoints Brett Dedeaux and Matt Evans as its initial Representatives. If the initial or replacement Representative of any Member ceases to serve, then such Member shall replace its Representative with a new Representative. Any replacement Representative appointed by a Member pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be subject to the approval of the other Member, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The authorized number of Representatives on the Executive Committee may be increased or decreased only with the prior written approval of both Members. 2.02 Committee Procedures (a) Quorum. A "Quorum" for the Executive Committee shall be the presence of at least one (1) Representative of each Member. In the absence of a Quorum, the Representative(s) of the Executive Committee so present may adjourn the


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -3- meeting until a Quorum is present. The Executive Committee shall meet at least quarterly on a day designated by the Administrative Member. The Executive Committee shall hold such other regularly scheduled meetings as are determined by the Administrative Member. Operational meetings shall also be held on an ad hoc basis with the Executive Committee Representatives and/or their representatives including, without limitation, designated leasing/development managers. Meetings shall be held on a Business Day at the principal office of the Company during normal business hours, unless otherwise agreed to by the Executive Committee. Notice of any regularly scheduled meeting of the Executive Committee shall be given by the Administrative Member to all of the Representatives no fewer than ten (10) days and no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of any such meeting. Any Representative may participate telephonically in any regular meeting of the Executive Committee. The attendance of a Representative of the Executive Committee at a regularly scheduled meeting of the Executive Committee (either in person or telephonically) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Representative of the Executive Committee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not properly called or convened. Minutes of the Executive Committee shall not be required to be prepared or maintained. Resolutions of the Executive Committee, when signed by a Quorum present at the applicable meeting, shall be binding and conclusive evidence of the decisions reflected therein and any authorization granted thereby. (b) Decisions of the Executive Committee. Subject to Section 2.02(f), all decisions and actions of the Executive Committee shall require the affirmative vote of (i) a majority of the Representatives present at such meeting, and (ii) at least one (1) Representative appointed by each Member at a meeting at which a Quorum is present. (c) Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Executive Committee may be called by or at the request of any Representative and shall be held on a Business Day at the principal office of the Company. Notice of any such special meeting of the Executive Committee shall be given by the calling Representative specifying the time of the meeting to all of the other Representatives no fewer than two (2) Business Days and no more than ten (10) days prior to the date of such meeting. Any Representative may participate telephonically in any special meeting of the Executive Committee. The attendance of a Representative of the Executive Committee at a special meeting of the Executive Committee (either in person or telephonically) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Representative of the Executive Committee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting was not properly called or convened. The business to be transacted at, and the purpose of, any special meeting of the Executive Committee need not be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting. Notice of any special meeting may be waived by each Representative of the Executive Committee. (d) Telephonic Participation. Representatives of the Executive Committee may participate in any meetings of the Executive Committee telephonically or through other similar communications equipment provided that all of the Representatives participating in such meeting can hear each another. Participation in a meeting pursuant


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -4- to the preceding sentence shall constitute presence in person at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement. (e) Transaction of Business. Provided that notice of a meeting has been given in the manner set forth herein, a Quorum shall be entitled to transact business at any meeting of the Executive Committee. (f) Actions Without Meetings. Any decision or action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Executive Committee or any other decision or action that may be taken at a meeting of the Executive Committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by at least one (1) Representative of each Member, which shall have the same effect as an act taken at a properly called and constituted meeting with a Quorum of the Executive Committee at which all of the Representatives of the Executive Committee were present and voting. (g) Proxies. Each Representative may authorize one (1) or more individuals to act for him or her by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after sixty (60) days from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A Representative may revoke any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to the Administrative Member. (h) Limitations on Authority. None of the Members, Representatives or Officers, without the prior written consent of the Executive Committee, may take any action on behalf of or in the name of the Company, or enter into any commitment or obligation binding upon the Company, except for (i) actions expressly authorized by this Agreement, and (ii) actions by any Member (or Representative or Officer) within the scope of such Member's (or Representative's or Officer's) authority granted under this Agreement. (i) Compensation. Except as otherwise approved by the Executive Committee, no Representative shall be entitled to receive any salary, remuneration or reimbursement from the Company for his or her services as a Representative. (j) Involvement of the Representatives. Each Member shall cause each Representative appointed by such Member to devote such time as is reasonably necessary to carry out such individual's duties and obligations as a Representative of the Executive Committee. (k) Resolving Deadlocks. If the Executive Committee is deadlocked on any Major Decision (as defined in Section 2.04), then the Representatives shall consult with one another in a good faith attempt to resolve such deadlock for a period of thirty (30) days (or such longer period as is unanimously agreed to by the Representatives). The failure of the Representatives to resolve any impasse for any


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -5- reason with respect to any Fundamental Decision prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period shall constitute an "Impasse Event" under this Agreement (so long as the deadlock that resulted in such impasse remains unresolved). The term "Fundamental Decision" means any Major Decision described in Sections 2.04(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m), (o), (p), (s), (w) or (x). After the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, either Member may elect to exercise the buy/sell provisions contained Article VIII (subject to satisfying the requirements of Article VIII). 2.03 Administrative Member The Members hereby initially designate DP as the "Administrative Member" of the Company. The Administrative Member shall serve as the Administrative Member, unless and until it resigns as provided in Section 2.17(b), is removed pursuant to Section 2.17(c) or ceases to be a member of the Company. The Administrative Member hereby agrees to carry out the business and affairs of the Company in accordance with the Management Standard and to devote such time to the Company as is necessary for the efficient operation of the business and affairs of the Company. The term "Management Standard" means the care exercised by a reasonably prudent commercial real estate developer and manager in Southern California for industrial projects similar in size, nature and location to the Project under the circumstances then prevailing with respect to the entire Project, in full compliance with all applicable laws and legal requirements (subject to the provision of required capital by the Company) and in accordance with the exercise of sound and prudent business practices. Subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Sections 2.04, 2.11, 2.12, 2.13 and 2.14 and Article XI, which assign certain obligations or decision-making authority to Tejon or the Executive Committee), the Administrative Member shall be responsible for (i) preparing and implementing each Approved Business Plan (including, without limitation, each Development Plan, Development Budget, Operating Budget and Marketing Plan contained therein), (ii) implementing the decisions of the Executive Committee, (iii) reporting to the Executive Committee as to the status of the business and affairs of the Company, (iv) managing, supervising, and conducting the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company, (v) managing the accounting and the contract and lease administration for the Project prior to the completion of the Improvements, and (vi) performing such other services that are delegated to the Administrative Member under this Agreement including, without limitation, (A) the development and construction management services delegated to the Administrative Member under Section 2.11, and (B) the marketing and leasing management services delegated to the Administrative Member under Section 2.13. The Administrative Member may not assign or delegate its duties or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Executive Committee, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, DP may delegate certain of its accounting, reporting and administration duties hereunder to Noble Street Advisors LLC ("NSA") during the period prior to the completion of the Improvements provided (1) DP shall be solely responsible for paying NSA's fees and costs without any reimbursement or right to recover any such payment from the Company, and (2) any such delegation shall not release or limit the liability of DP under this Agreement for the performance of such delegated duties.

Unless the Administrative Member resigns or is removed pursuant to Section 2.17(c), a new Administrative Member may not be appointed without the approval of the Executive Committee. (b) Resignation. The Administrative Member may only resign with the prior written approval of the Executive Committee, which may be withheld in its sole and


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -18- absolute discretion. Except as set forth below in Section 2.17(d), any resignation of the Administrative Member in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.17(b) shall not affect the Administrative Member's rights as a member of the Company, and shall not constitute a withdrawal of the Administrative Member as a member of the Company. (c) Removal. The Administrative Member (or any successor administrative member) may be removed following the occurrence of a Just Cause Event, by written notice ("Removal Notice") from the other Member to the Administrative Member within forty-five (45) days following the date such Member first becomes aware of such Just Cause Event. The Removal Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the Just Cause Event giving rise to the removal. For purposes of this Section 2.17(c), "Just Cause Event" shall mean: (i) Failure to Maintain Control of Dedeaux Member. None of Brett Dedeaux, Justin Dedeaux and/or Terry Dedeaux, individually or collectively, at any time, directly or indirectly, maintain control of DP. As used in this Agreement, the terms "control," "controls" and "controlling" mean the possession by any Person, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of another Person (including in such Person's capacity as a trustee of a trust), whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; (ii) Breach of Agreement. The breach of any material covenant, duty or obligation under this Agreement by the Administrative Member if (i) the Administrative Member has received written notice from the other Member of the breach describing such breach in reasonable detail, and (ii) (A) the breach is not reasonably susceptible of being cured, or (B) subject to the following sentence, if the breach is reasonably susceptible of being cured (1) the Administrative Member has failed to commence the cure or remedy of the breach within fifteen (15) days following the effective date of the notice, or (2) failed to complete the cure or remedy within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 30 days following the effective date of such notice, unless the cure or remedy cannot be reasonably completed within such 30-day period and the Administrative Member fails to diligently proceed with the cure or remedy to completion within an additional 15 days following the expiration of such initial 30-day period). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Member shall not have the right to cure any breach or other event that would otherwise constitute a Just Cause Event if the Administrative Member (or any other party) has already cured two (2) or more prior breaches or events that would have constituted Just Cause Events (but for the exercise of such cure rights); (iii) Fraud, Willful Misconduct, Gross Negligence, Etc. The Administrative Member's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence or the conviction of the Administrative Member or any Affiliate thereof of a crime involving moral turpitude (other than driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated) if such crime impacts the reputation of the Company or the other Member or otherwise impacts the performance of the Project (or the performance of the

Any misappropriation of funds by the Administrative Member provided that if such misappropriation of funds is committed by an employee of the Administrative Member, then such event shall not constitute a Just Cause Event if, within ten (10) Business Days after being notified in writing of such event, the Administrative Member makes full restitution to the Company of all damages caused by such event and terminates the employment of such employee. (d) Rights Following Resignation or Removal. Upon the resignation of an Administrative Member or the removal of a member as the Administrative Member in accordance with Section 2.17(c), (i) the resigned or removed Member shall be relieved of its duties as Administrative Member under this Agreement including, without limitation, the duty to provide the development management and marketing services described in Sections 2.11 and 2.13, (ii) the other Member shall have the right, power and authority to designate the replacement Administrative Member (which may be the other Member, any Affiliate of the other Member and/or any other Person) to replace the Member that has resigned or been removed as the Administrative Member (or any replacement Administrative Member) and such replacement Administrative Member shall have all of the rights, duties and obligations of the Administrative Member under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the right to receive any fees or other amounts payable to the Administrative Member under this Agreement following such resignation or removal for services that are thereafter provided by the replacement Administrative Member), and (iii) the other Member may terminate any or all of the Affiliate Agreements entered into with the Administrative Member or any Affiliate thereof and/or hire at the expense of the Company a new development manager and/or marketing director including, without limitation, the other Member or any Affiliate of such other Member which is qualified to render the services previously provided by the resigned or removed Member. (e) No Adjustment to Percentage Interests. Except as provided in Section 2.17(d), if a Member resigns or is removed as the Administrative Member, then the Percentage Interests of the Members shall not be adjusted and the removed Administrative Member shall retain all of its rights, duties and obligations of a member under this Agreement (other than any rights, duties and/or obligations as the Administrative Member). 2.18 Officers (a) Appointment of Officers.

4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -20- for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, then the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the rights, powers, duties, obligations and authority that are normally associated with that office, and (ii) no Officer shall receive any salary or other compensation for acting as an Officer of the Company. Any delegation pursuant to this Section 2.18(a) may be revoked at any time by the Executive Committee. The Officers shall serve at the pleasure of the Executive Committee. (b) Removal of Officers. Any Officer may be terminated, either with or without cause, by the Executive Committee at any time. Any Officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Executive Committee.

A vacancy in any office because of death, incapacity, resignation, removal, disqualification or any other cause shall be filled, if at all, in the manner prescribed in this Agreement for regular appointments to that office. 2.19 Treatment of Payments For financial and income tax reporting purposes, any and all fees paid by the Company to any Member and/or any Affiliate thereof shall be treated as expenses of the Company and, if paid to any Member, as guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707I of the Code. To the extent all or any portion of any fee is not paid in full prior to the Liquidation of the Company, such unpaid portion of such fee shall constitute a debt of the Company payable upon such Liquidation. The Members acknowledge and agree that any fee paid to any Member (and/or any Affiliate thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive property of such recipient Member (and/or such Affiliate), and the other Member shall not have any rights thereto or interests therein. 2.20 Reimbursement and Fees Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Pre-Development Budget or otherwise agreed to in writing by the Executive Committee, including, without limitation, pursuant to the terms of any Approved Business Plan, none of the Members (or their respective Affiliates and/or other representatives) shall be paid any compensation for rendering services to the Company or otherwise be reimbursed for any costs and expenses incurred by such Member (and/or any Affiliate or representative thereof) on behalf of the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Member nor any Affiliate thereof shall be reimbursed for any general and administrative costs and expenses incurred by such party. Any request for reimbursement by any Member pursuant to this Section 2.20 shall be accompanied by supporting documentation and shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date such expenses are incurred by such Member. Any such reimbursement shall not reduce such Member's Capital Account or Unreturned Contribution Account.


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -21- 2.21 Insurance The Administrative Member shall cause the Company to purchase and maintain (at the expense of the Company) a commercial general liability insurance policy, a builder's risk insurance policy and a property insurance policy in such amounts as are reasonably determined by the Executive Committee and such other insurance as may be requested from time to time by the Executive Committee. The cost of any insurance policies maintained by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.21 shall be an expense of the Company and shall be included in the Development Budget or the Operating Budget. ARTICLE III MEMBERS' CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMPANY 3.01 Initial Contributions of the Members through Construction Loan Funding The initial capital contributions of the Members shall be made as follows: (a) Initial Cash Contributions. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) each Member shall make an initial cash contribution to the capital of the Company in the amount set forth opposite such Member's name under the column labelled "Initial Cash Contribution" on Exhibit "A" attached hereto to enable the Company to fund the anticipated costs and expenses that will be incurred by the Company prior to the funding of the Construction Loan described in Section 3.04, (ii) Tejon shall be deemed to have contributed to the capital of the Company the actual third- party pre-development costs and expenses incurred by Tejon Industrial Corp. prior to the Effective Date described in the Pre-Development Budget (exclusive of any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the abandonment of the Re-Abandoned Well described in Section 3.01(c) below), (iii) DP shall be deemed to have contributed to the capital of the Company the actual third-party pre-development costs and expenses incurred by DP prior to the Effective Date described in the Pre-Development Budget, and (iv) DP shall make an initial cash contribution to the capital of the Company equal to fifty percent (50%) of the excess of (A) the actual third-party pre-development costs and expenses deemed contributed by Tejon to the Company described in clause (ii) above, minus (B) the actual third-party pre-development costs and expenses deemed contributed by DP to the Company described in clause (iii) above. Each Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall be credited by the amount contributed or deemed contributed by such Member pursuant to this Section 3.01(a) on the date this Agreement is executed and delivered. The Company shall promptly distribute to Tejon the capital contribution made by DP pursuant to clause (iv) above, which distribution shall be debited to Tejon's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account on the date such distribution is received by Tejon. Following such distribution, the balances standing in each Members' Capital Accounts and Unreturned Contribution Accounts will be equal to the balances standing in the other Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account. (b) Initial Non-Cash Contribution. Prior to the Effective Date, (i) Tejon Industrial Corp. entered into the contracts listed on Exhibit "G" attached hereto


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -22- (collectively, the "TRC Pre-Formation Contracts") with the consultants that are a party to each TRC Pre-Formation Contract (collectively, the "Tejon Consultants"), and (ii) DP entered into the contracts listed on Exhibit "H" attached hereto (collectively, the "DP Pre-Formation Contracts") with the consultants that are a party to each DP Pre- Formation Contract (collectively, the "DP Consultants"). Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Member has assigned and transferred (and/or caused its Affiliate to assign and transfer) to the Company (to the extent assignable), and the Company hereby assumes, all of the rights, duties and obligations of each such party under the TRC Pre-Formation Contracts and the DP Pre-Formation Contracts, as applicable, including, without limitation, all work product created under or pursuant to the TRC Pre-Formation Contracts and the DP Pre-Formation Contracts. Neither Member's Capital Account nor Unreturned Contribution Account shall be credited in connection with the assignments made to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) (since the costs incurred by Tejon Industrial Corp. under the TRC Pre- Formation Contracts have been credited to Tejon's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account under Section 3.01(a)(ii) above and the costs incurred by DP under the DP Pre-Formation Contracts have been credited to DP's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account under Section 3.01(a)(iii) above ). (c) Tejon Property and Related Contributions. In accordance with the terms of the Contribution Agreement, Tejon Industrial Corp. shall assign, transfer and contribute to the capital of the Company, Tejon Industrial Corp.'s entire fee interest in and to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined in the Contribution Agreement). Tejon Industrial Corp. shall transfer the Property to the Company concurrently with the closing of the Construction Loan at an agreed upon value (net of all such approved liens, encumbrances and permitted exceptions) of Nine Dollars ($9.00) per square foot of the agreed upon net usable land area contained in the Property, reduced by the lien for property taxes not yet payable and adjusted for any other prorations in the manner described below and any other items set forth in the Contribution Agreement (the "Agreed Value"). The Agreed Value shall be reduced by the amount of any net prorations and credits charged to Tejon Industrial Corp. under the Contribution Agreement and increased by the amount of any net prorations and credits charged to the Company under the Contribution Agreement. The Agreed Value of the Property prior to any adjustment for real property taxes not yet payable, prorations and credits will equal approximately Nine Million Six Hundred Thirty-Two Thousand Four Hundred Twenty- Two and 80/100th Dollars ($9,632,422.80) (i.e., (24.57 acres of net usable land x 43,560 square feet per acre) x $9.00 = $9,632,422.80). Tejon's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall each be credited by an amount equal to the Agreed Value on the date the Property is contributed to the Company. Prior to the contribution of the Property to the Company, Tejon Industrial Corp. shall complete the re-abandonment of the oil well that is located on the Property (the "Re-Abandoned Well") in accordance with the requirements of the California Geologic Energy Management Division. On the date the Property is transferred by Tejon Industrial Corp. to the Company, the Company shall reimburse Tejon Industrial Corp. for Two Hundred Twenty Thousand Dollars ($220,000) of the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tejon Industrial Corp. in completing the re-abandonment of the Re-


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -23- Abandoned Well. Tejon Industrial Corp. will not be reimbursed by the Company or otherwise have the right to recover any other costs incurred by Tejon Industrial Corp. in completing the re-abandonment of the Re-Abandoned Well. Following its acquisition of the Property, the Company shall install, at its expense, a venting system and passive monitoring equipment for the Re-Abandoned Well. The estimated cost to install the venting system and passive monitoring system shall be set forth in the Development Budget. The Company will covenant and agree in the Contribution Agreement not to disturb, or to allow any other party to disturb, the Re-Abandoned Well. Tejon Industrial Corp. will retain the Re-Abandoned Well in its operatorship following the Company's acquisition of the Property and Tejon Industrial Corp. shall be fully and solely responsible for all aspects of the Re-Abandoned Well, including compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines governing the Re-Abandoned Well. If the terms of the Contribution Agreement are inconsistent with the terms of this Section 3.01(c), then the terms of the Contribution Agreement shall control. (d) DP Balancing Contribution. Concurrently with the closing of the Construction Loan (and through the escrow established for the Construction Loan), DP shall contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Agreed Value. DP's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall be credited by the amount of such contribution on the date such contribution is made. Concurrently with the closing of the Construction Loan, the Company shall distribute the capital contribution made by DP pursuant to this Section 3.01(d) to Tejon, which distribution shall be debited to Tejon's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account on the date such distribution is made. After such distribution is made, the balance standing in Tejon's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account will equal the balance standing in DP's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account, respectively. 3.02 Additional Capital Contributions If the Company has insufficient funds to meet its current or projected financial requirements including, without limitation, insufficient funds to satisfy any construction cost overruns incurred by the Company (a "Shortfall"), then the Administrative Member shall give written notice (the "Capital Call Notice") of such Shortfall to the other Member. If the Company has a Shortfall and the Administrative Member fails to deliver a Capital Call Notice for such Shortfall, then the other Member may deliver the Capital Call Notice pursuant to this Section 3.02. The Capital Call Notice shall summarize, with reasonable particularity, the Company's actual and projected cash obligations, cash on hand, projected sources and amounts of future Cash Flow and a contribution date ("Additional Contribution Date") (which shall not be less than ten (10) Business Days following the effective date of such notice). Subject to the following sentence, each Member shall be obligated to contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, such Member's Percentage Interest of the funds necessary to satisfy such Shortfall. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Members shall not be obligated to make any additional capital contribution pursuant to this Section 3.02 to enable the Company to pay any cost or expense that is not approved in the Approved Business Plan (taking into account any variances allowed under this Agreement), unless (i) the additional capital contribution is required to enable the Company to pay a construction cost overrun incurred by the Company that is not an Excess


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -24- Cost Overrun, or (ii) the Executive Committee has approved such capital contribution in its sole and absolute discretion pursuant to Section 2.04(j) above. The term "Excess Cost Overrun" means any construction cost overruns incurred by the Company in connection with the development and construction of its Improvements to the extent such cost overruns exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in the aggregate. Any and all amounts contributed to the capital of the Company by any Member pursuant to this Section 3.02 shall be credited to such Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account on the date any such contribution is made. 3.03 Remedy for Failure to Contribute Capital If any Member (the "Non-Contributing Member") fails to contribute timely all or any portion of the additional capital such Member is required to contribute pursuant to Section 3.02 (the "Delinquent Contribution"), and provided that the other Member (the "Contributing Member") has timely contributed to the capital of the Company all of the additional capital required to be contributed by such Contributing Member pursuant to Section 3.02 (with respect to that particular notice and capital call), then such Contributing Member shall have the right to select one (1) or more of the following options in accordance with the terms set forth below in this Section 3.03: (a) Loan Remedy. The Contributing Member may advance to the Company, in cash, within thirty (30) days following the Additional Contribution Date, an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, and such advance shall be treated as a nonrecourse loan ("Default Loan") by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member, bearing interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the prevailing prime commercial lending rate of Wells Fargo Bank plus five (5) percentage points, adjusted concurrently with any adjustments to such rate and compounded annually, or (ii) the maximum, non-usurious rate then permitted by law for such loans. Subject to Sections 7.09 and 8.08, each Default Loan shall be due and payable in full one hundred twenty (120) days from the date advanced (or, if earlier, upon the dissolution of the Company). As of the effective date of the advance of any Default Loan, the Capital Account and the Unreturned Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member shall be credited with an amount equal to the original principal balance of the Default Loan made by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles V and XII, until any and all Default Loans made to the Non- Contributing Member are repaid in full, the Non-Contributing Member shall receive no further distributions from the Company, and all cash or property otherwise distributable with respect to the Non-Contributing Member's Interest shall be distributed to the Contributing Member as a reduction of the outstanding balance of (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) any and all such Default Loans, with such funds being applied first to reduce any and all interest accrued on such Default Loan(s) and then to reduce the principal amount thereof. Any amounts so applied shall be treated, for all purposes under this Agreement, as having actually been distributed to the Non- Contributing Member pursuant to Section 5.01 and applied by the Non-Contributing Member to repay such outstanding Default Loan(s).


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -25- To secure the repayment of any and all Default Loans made to the Non- Contributing Member, such Non-Contributing Member hereby grants a security interest in favor of the Contributing Member in and to the Non-Contributing Member's entire Interest in the Company, and hereby irrevocably appoints the Contributing Member, and each of the Contributing Member's representatives, agents, officers or employees, as the Non-Contributing Member's attorney(s)-in-fact, with full power to prepare, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, as applicable, all documents, instruments, and/or agreements memorializing and/or securing such Default Loan(s), including, without limitation, such Uniform Commercial Code financing and continuation statements, mortgages, pledge agreements and other security instruments as may be reasonably appropriate to perfect and continue the security interest in favor of such Contributing Member. The Contributing Member is also authorized to cause the Company to issue certificates (collectively, the "Certificates") evidencing the Members' respective Interests in the Company (in such form as is determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Contributing Member) and is further authorized to take possession and control of any such Certificate of the Non-Contributing Member if it has made a Default Loan to the Non-Contributing Member. Following the issuance of the Certificates, each Interest in the Company shall constitute a "certificated security" within the meaning of, and be governed by, (A) Section 8-102(a)(15) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (B) the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as in effect in the State of Delaware (6 Del C. § 8-101, et seq.), such provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code shall control. If, upon the maturity of a Default Loan (taking into account any agreed upon extensions thereof), any principal thereof and/or accrued interest thereon remains outstanding, then the Contributing Member may elect any one (1) of the following options: (1) to renew such Default Loan (or portion thereof) pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 3.03(a) for such additional term as is determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Contributing Member; (2) to institute legal (or other) proceedings against the Non-Contributing Member to collect such loan which may include, without limitation, foreclosing against the security interest granted above; (3) to contribute all or any portion of such outstanding principal of, and accrued interest on, such Default Loan (or portion thereof) to the capital of the Company and dilute the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03(b); or (4) to implement the default provisions set forth in Article VII in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(c). The Contributing Member may elect any of the options set forth in the immediately preceding sentence by giving written notice of such election to the Non- Contributing Member within thirty (30) days following such maturity date. Failure of


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -26- the Contributing Member to timely give such written notice to the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to constitute an election to renew such Default Loan for an additional term of one hundred twenty (120) days on the terms set forth herein. If the Contributing Member elects to foreclose upon the security interest in the Non- Contributing Member's Interest in the Company granted above, then the Contributing Member is authorized to cancel the Certificate evidencing the Non-Contributing Member's Interest in the Company and issue a new Certificate to the Contributing Member that has foreclosed upon such Interest. (b) Dilution Remedy. The Contributing Member may contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, within thirty (30) days following the Additional Contribution Date an amount equal to the Delinquent Contribution, and such Contributing Member's Capital Account and Unreturned Contribution Account shall each be credited with the amount contributed by such Contributing Member (in addition to the Adjustment Amount described below). Further, upon the maturity of a Default Loan that is not fully repaid on or before the maturity date thereof, the Contributing Member may contribute to the capital of the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.03(a) above, all or any portion of the outstanding principal of and/or accrued interest on such Default Loan previously advanced by such Contributing Member that is not repaid prior to the maturity date thereof, and (i) the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed shall be deemed repaid and satisfied; (ii) in addition to the Adjustment Amount described below, the Capital Account and the Unreturned Contribution Account of the Non-Contributing Member shall be decreased, but not below zero (0), by the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed; and (iii) in addition to the Adjustment Amount described below, the Capital Account and the Unreturned Contribution Account of the Contributing Member shall be increased by the amount of such outstanding principal and/or interest so contributed. Upon the contribution of the Delinquent Contribution and/or the outstanding balance of a Default Loan by the Contributing Member pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03(b), (A) the balance standing in each Member's Unreturned Contribution Account and Capital Account shall be decreased in the case of the Non- Contributing Member and increased in the case of the Contributing Member by an amount equal to the Adjustment Amount, and (B) each Member's Percentage Interest shall be decreased in the case of the Non-Contributing Member and increased in the case of the Contributing Member by the Dilution Percentage. The "Adjustment Amount" shall equal fifty percent (50%) of each Delinquent Contribution contributed by the Contributing Member on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to this Section 3.03(b). The "Dilution Percentage" shall equal the amount expressed in percentage points calculated based upon the following formula:


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -27- Dilution Percentage = 150  ( Delinquent Contribution Total amount of the Members' capital contributions to the Company (including any Delinquent Contribution contributed by the Contributing Member), not reduced by any distributions under Section 5.01 ) The application of the provisions of this Section 3.03(b) are illustrated by the following example: Assume that (1) the aggregate balance standing in each Member's Unreturned Contribution Account and Capital Account is equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (i.e., $10,000,000 in the aggregate), (2) a contribution of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) is required to be contributed by the Members to the capital of the Company pursuant to Section 3.02, (3) the Non-Contributing Member has a Percentage Interest of fifty percent (50%) and fails to contribute its share of such contribution equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (i.e., 50%  $400,000), and (4) the Contributing Member has a Percentage Interest of fifty percent (50%) and contributes its entire share of such contribution equal to Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (i.e., 50% x $400,000) and the Delinquent Contribution of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to the capital of the Company on behalf of the Non- Contributing Member pursuant to this Section 3.03(b). The contribution by the Contributing Member of its entire share of the additional capital contribution of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) and the Delinquent Contribution of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) increases the balance standing in the Contributing Member's Unreturned Contribution Account and Capital Account (before taking into account the Adjustment Amount) from Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) to Five Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,400,000), respectively. The balance standing in the Non-Contributing Member's Unreturned Contribution Account and Capital Account remains at Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (before taking into account the Adjustment Amount) since it did not fund any of the additional capital contribution. By operation of this Section 3.03(b), the Adjustment Amount would equal One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (i.e., $200,000 Delinquent Contribution x 50% = $100,000), and the Dilution Percentage would be equal to two and 88/100ths (2.88) percentage points, as calculated in accordance with the following formula: 2.88 = 150  $200,000 Delinquent Contribution $10,400,000 Total Member Contributions Accordingly, (x) the balance standing in each Member's Unreturned Contribution Account and Capital Account would be (AA) decreased in the case of the Non- Contributing Member from Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) to Four Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,900,000) (i.e., $5,000,000 - $100,000 Adjustment Amount


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -28- = $4,900,000), and (BB) increased in the case of the Contributing Member from Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) to Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000) (i.e., $5,000,000 + $400,000 capital contribution + $100,000 Adjustment Amount = $5,500,000), (y) the Percentage Interest of each Member would be (AA) decreased in the case of the Non-Contributing Member by two and 88/100ths (2.88) percentage points from fifty percent (50%) to forty-seven and 12/100ths percent (47.12%) (i.e., 50% - 2.88% = 47.12%), and (BB) increased in the case of the Contributing Member by two and 88/100ths (2.88) percentage points from fifty percent (50%) to fifty-two and 88/100ths percent (52.88%) (i.e., 50% + 2.88%= 52.88%). After the foregoing adjustments, the ratio of the balance standing in each Member's Unreturned Contribution Account and Capital Account to the balances standing in both Members' Unreturned Contribution Accounts and Capital Accounts would equal fifty-fifty-two and 88/100ths percent (52.88%) in the case of the Contributing Member (i.e., $5,500,000/$10,400,000 = 52.88%) and forty-seven and 12/100ths percent (47.12%) in the case of the Non-Contributing Member (i.e., $4,900,000/$10,400,000 = 47.12%), respectively (which will the same as each Member's Percentage Interest in the Company following the dilution under this example). (c) Implementation of Default Provisions. The Contributing Member may elect to implement the default provisions contained in Article VII by delivery of written notice of such election to the Non-Contributing Member within ninety (90) days following the Additional Contribution Date or the maturity date for any Default Loan that is not repaid prior to the maturity thereof. (d) Election of Remedy. The Contributing Member shall determine which of the options set forth in Sections 3.03(a), 3.03(b) and/or 3.03(c) are to be exercised by the Contributing Member with respect to each Delinquent Contribution. If the Contributing Member advances any amount to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.03 but fails to specify which of the foregoing options the Contributing Member has elected within thirty (30) days after the effective date that the Contributing Member makes such advance, then such Contributing Member shall be deemed to have elected the option set forth in Section 3.03(a) above with respect to such advance. (e) Minimum Percentage Interest. Any and all adjustments to the Members' respective Percentage Interests pursuant to Section 3.03(b) shall be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of one percentage point (0.01%). In addition, notwithstanding any provision contained in this Article III, the Non-Contributing Member's Percentage Interest shall in no event be reduced below 1/100th of one percent (0.01%) by operation of Section 3.03(b). 3.04 Financing The Administrative Member shall have primary responsibility to cause the Company to procure a construction loan (the "Construction Loan") to finance the development and construction of the Improvements from one (1) or more independent third-party institutional lenders selected by the Administrative Member (individually, the "Lender" and collectively, the "Lenders") upon prevailing market terms and conditions. The Administrative Member shall also have primary responsibility to cause the Company to procure a permanent loan (the


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -29- "Permanent Loan") from one (1) or more Lenders to refinance the Construction Loan and any prior Permanent Loan upon prevailing market terms and conditions (and any other financing thereafter required to refinance the Permanent Loan), which shall be nonrecourse to the Members (subject to any Nonrecourse Documents described in Section 3.05 required to be provided to the Lender providing any such Permanent Loan). Tejon shall reasonably assist the Administrative Member in the procurement of the Construction Loan and each Permanent Loan. The Construction Loan and each Permanent Loan shall be secured by a deed of trust encumbering the Project. Any such financing and/or refinancing obtained by the Administrative Member on behalf of the Company (collectively, the "Loans") shall require the consent of the Executive Committee pursuant to Section 2.04(e). Any Loans obtained by the Company shall not include any debt coverage limitations on any future financing or refinancing that may be obtained by the Company. If the Company and the Lender do not execute and deliver the documents evidencing and/or memorializing the Construction Loan (collectively, the "Construction Loan Documents") on or prior to the Construction Loan Deadline, then either Member may elect to dissolve the Company by delivering written notice of such election to the other Member pursuant to Section 12.01(c) (provided such election is made prior to the date (if any) that the Lender executes and delivers the Construction Loan Documents). The term "Construction Loan Deadline" means the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days following the approval of the annual business plan for the Company's first Business Plan Period pursuant to Section 2.07; provided, however, such date shall be automatically extended for up to sixty (60) additional days if the Construction Loan Documents have not been executed and delivered for any reason outside the reasonable control of DP within such one hundred twenty (120) day period provided (i) the Company has obtained a commitment from the Construction Loan Lender to make the Construction Loan to the Company prior to the expiration of such one hundred twenty (120) day period, (ii) DP has kept Tejon reasonably informed with respect to its negotiations with the Construction Loan Lender and any anticipated delays in the Lender executing and delivering the Construction Loan Documents, and (iii) DP has at all times during such one hundred twenty (120) day period and continuing through the additional sixty (60) period used its best efforts to cause the Lender to execute and deliver the Construction Loan Documents. 3.05 Agreement to Provide Guarantees and Indemnification Each Member and/or one (1) or more of their respective Affiliates or representatives, including, without limitation, the ultimate parent of each Member if required by the applicable Lender (collectively, the "Guarantors" and individually, a "Guarantor") shall execute and deliver to any Lender providing a Construction Loan to the Company (i) any and all repayment or completion guaranties or similar documents required by such Lender (collectively, the "Recourse Documents"), and (ii) any and all other environmental indemnities and "bad-boy" carve-out guaranties required by such Lender (collectively, the "Nonrecourse Documents") provided such Recourse Documents and Nonrecourse Documents are approved by the Executive Committee in its reasonable discretion. In addition, the Guarantors shall execute any Nonrecourse Document required by any Lender providing a Permanent Loan to the Company provided such Nonrecourse Documents are approved by the Executive Committee in its reasonable discretion. The Administrative Member shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Lender's agreement that the obligation of each Guarantor under each Recourse Document and


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -30- Nonrecourse Document shall be several (i.e., not joint and several) as between the Members (and their respective Affiliates) and proportionate to the Percentage Interest of each Member that is an Affiliate of such Guarantor determined as of the date any liability is incurred under any such Recourse Document or Nonrecourse Document. The Members acknowledge and agree that each Recourse Document and Nonrecourse Document executed by any Guarantor shall be executed only as an accommodation to the Company and/or the Members. The Company shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold each such Guarantor wholly harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred by any such Guarantor as a result of such Recourse Document and Nonrecourse Document (or as a result of the rights of contribution described below) in accordance with the terms of Section 10.02(b). Either Member may deliver a Capital Call Notice in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 to require the Members to make additional contributions to the capital of the Company to enable the Company to satisfy the indemnity for any Losses described in this Section 3.05. If the Company fails to fully satisfy any indemnification and/or defense obligation owing to any Member or any Guarantor affiliated with such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.05, then such Guarantor ("Contributing Party") shall have a right of contribution against the other Member and each Guarantor affiliated with such Member (collectively, the "Non-Contributing Party") to the extent the liability incurred by the Contributing Party under any Recourse Document or Nonrecourse Document (for which it is entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant Section 10.02(b)) exceeds such Contributing Party's Pro Rata Share of the total liability incurred by all of the Guarantors under all of the Recourse Documents and Nonrecourse Documents (for which the Guarantors are entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(b)). The term "Pro Rata Share" means (A) with respect to Tejon and its Guarantors, an amount equal to its then Percentage Interest of the total liability incurred by all of the Guarantors under all of the Recourse Documents and Nonrecourse Documents (for which the Guarantors are entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(b) below), and (B) with respect to DP and its Guarantors, an amount equal to its then Percentage Interest of the total liability incurred by all of the Guarantors under all of the Recourse Documents and Nonrecourse Documents (for which the Guarantors are entitled to be indemnified by the Company pursuant to Section 10.02(b) below). At any time that any Contributing Party has a right of contribution against the Non- Contributing Party under this Section 3.05, the Non-Contributing Party shall be obligated to satisfy such contribution obligation by paying the required amount, in cash, within ten (10) days following written notice thereof from the Contributing Party. If any such payment is not timely and validly made within such ten (10)-day period, then from and after the date such amount was required to be paid, such amount shall bear interest at the lesser of (1) the prevailing prime commercial lending rate of Wells Fargo Bank plus five (5) percentage points, adjusted concurrently with any adjustments to such rate and compounded annually, or (2) the maximum non-usurious rate allowed by law. The Contributing Party shall also be entitled to collect from the Non-Contributing Party any and all costs and expenses of enforcing such contribution obligation including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and expert witness fees and costs. The Members acknowledge and agree that each of the Guarantors (that are not Members) are express third-party beneficiaries of the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05, and, as such, all of the Guarantors have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -31- Section 3.05. Each Member further agrees to cause any Guarantor affiliated with such Member to agree to be bound by the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.05 at the time such Guarantor executes and delivers any Recourse Document or Nonrecourse Document. 3.06 Capital Contributions in General Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to in writing by all of the Members (i) no part of the contributions of any Member to the capital of the Company may be withdrawn by such Member, (ii) no Member shall be entitled to receive interest or a return on such Member's contributions to the capital of the Company, (iii) no Member shall have the right to demand or receive property other than cash in return for such Member's contribution to the Company, and (iv) no Member shall be required or be entitled to contribute additional capital to the Company other than as permitted or required by this Article III. ARTICLE IV ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES 4.01 Net Losses After giving effect to the special allocations in Sections 4.03 and 4.04, Net Losses for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Target Capital Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year. No portion of the Net Losses for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is less than or equal to such Member's Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year. 4.02 Net Profits After giving effect to the special allocations in Sections 4.03 and 4.04, Net Profits for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Target Capital Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year. No portion of the Net Profits for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than or equal to such Member's Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year. 4.03 Special Allocations Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, no Net Losses or items of expense, loss or deduction shall be allocated to any Member to the extent such an allocation would cause or increase a deficit balance standing in such Member's Adjusted Capital Account and any such Net Losses and items of expense, loss and deduction shall instead be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective "interests" in the Company as determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b). In addition, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with and to the extent required by the qualified income offset provisions set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article IV, (i) any and all "partnership nonrecourse deductions" (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) of the Company for any


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -32- Fiscal Year or other period shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests; (ii) any and all "partner nonrecourse deductions" (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) attributable to any "partner nonrecourse debt" (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated to the Member that bears the "economic risk of loss" (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2) for such "partner nonrecourse debt" in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(l); (iii) each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in accordance with the partnership minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(g); and (iv) each Member with a share of minimum gain attributable to any "partner nonrecourse debt" shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in accordance with the partner minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(5). Any and all "excess nonrecourse liabilities" as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. 4.04 Curative Allocations The allocations set forth in Section 4.03 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.04. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Administrative Member is hereby authorized to make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it reasonably determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Sections 4.01 and 4.02. In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.04, the Administrative Member shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 4.03, that are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under the provisions of this Section 4.04. 4.05 Differing Tax Basis; Tax Allocation Depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions and gain or loss with respect to each item of property treated as contributed to the capital of the Company shall be allocated between the Members for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and for state income tax purposes in accordance with comparable provisions of the California Revenue & Taxation Code, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value (as determined for purposes of the maintenance of Capital Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)).


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -33- ARTICLE V DISTRIBUTION OF CASH FLOW 5.01 Cash Flow Subject to Section 12.02, Cash Flow of the Company shall be determined and distributed on a quarterly basis (or at such other times as are determined by the Executive Committee), in the following order of priority: (a) Unreturned Contribution Accounts. First, to the Members in proportion to, and to the extent of, the positive balances standing in their respective Unreturned Contribution Accounts, if any; and (b) Percentage Interests. Thereafter, to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. 5.02 Limitations on Distributions Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution of Cash Flow (or other proceeds) to any Member if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law. 5.03 Withholding If the Company is obligated to withhold and pay any taxes with respect to any Member, then any tax required to be withheld may be withheld from any distribution otherwise payable to such Member. Any such amounts withheld and remitted to the appropriate tax authority shall be deemed to have been distributed to the applicable Member and applied by such Member in payment of such tax liability. 5.04 In-Kind Distribution Assets of the Company (other than cash) shall not be distributed in kind to the Members without the prior written approval of the Members. ARTICLE VI RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS OF COMPANY INTERESTS 6.01 Limitations on Transfer Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.03, this Article VI, Article VII and Article VIII, no Member shall be entitled to sell, exchange, assign, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise grant a security interest in (collectively, the "Transfer"), directly or indirectly, all or any part of such Member's Interest in the Company or withdraw or retire from the Company, without the prior written consent of the other Member, which consent may be withheld in such other Member's sole and absolute discretion. Any transfer of a direct or indirect interest in any Member shall be deemed to be a Transfer for purposes of this Agreement, provided, however, that any transfer of a direct or indirect interest in a Member


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -34- resulting from the death of such interest holder, the transfer by such interest holder to a trust of which the interest holder and/or his or her spouse is/are the sole current income beneficiaries or the termination of a trust which is an interest holder shall not be deemed a Transfer for purposes of this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer or withdrawal in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Article VI shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect to the maximum extent allowed by law. 6.02 Permitted Transfers Any Member may Transfer all or any portion of such Member's Interest in the Company to any of the following (collectively, "Permitted Transferees") without complying with the provisions of Section 6.01: (a) Affiliates. In the case of either Member, to any Affiliate of such Member provided the original transferring Member (that executed this Agreement) thereafter owns at least twenty percent (20%) of the voting and beneficial interests in such Affiliate and at all times maintains control of such Affiliate; (b) Stock Transfers. In the case of any direct and/or indirect owner of any Member that is a publicly traded corporation (including, without limitation, any shareholder of Tejon Ranch Co., a Delaware corporation), to any Person; (c) Transfers of Direct or Indirect Interests in DP. Any direct or indirect ownership interest in DP may be transferred to any Person provided at all times following any such transfer (i) one (1) or more of Brett Dedeaux, Justin Dedeaux and Terry Dedeaux, individually or collectively, directly or indirectly, control DP, and (ii) one (1) or more of Brett Dedeaux, Justin Dedeaux and Terry Dedeaux own, in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, at least twenty percent (20%) of DP; (d) Transfers as a Result of Foreclosure. In the case of either Member, to any Person that acquires an Interest in the Company pursuant to Section 6.08 below as the result of the exercise of any rights or remedies under Section 3.03(a); and (e) Right of First Refusal. In the case of either Member, to any Person provided (i) such Transfer is made after the Project Stabilization Date, (ii) such Transfer is for the transferring Member's entire Interest in the Company, and (iii) the transferring Member fully complies with the provisions of Exhibit "I." Any such Permitted Transferee shall receive and hold such ownership interest or portion thereof subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the obligations hereunder of the transferor. There shall be no further transfer of such ownership interest or portion thereof except to a Person to whom the original transferor could have transferred such ownership interest in accordance with this Section 6.02. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfer described in Section 6.02 shall be permitted if the consummation of such transfer would result in (i) the Company being obligated to pay any documentary transfer taxes, unless the transferring Member promptly reimburses the Company for the payment of all such documentary transfer taxes, or


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -35- (ii) a breach or violation of any transfer restrictions contained in the loan documentation (and/or guaranty) relative to any indebtedness encumbering all or any portion of the Project and/or any other agreement governing the Company, unless such transfer restrictions are waived by the non- transferring Member, the applicable lender and/or the parties to such agreement, as the case may be (provided payment by the transferring Member or its transferee of applicable lender fees and charges to effect such transfer shall not constitute a violation). 6.03 Admission of Substituted Members If any Member transfers such Member's Interest to a transferee in accordance with Sections 6.01 and/or 6.02 above, then such transferee shall only be entitled to be admitted into the Company as a substituted member (and this Agreement shall be amended in accordance with the Delaware Act to reflect such admission), if: (i) the non-transferring Member reasonably approves the form and content of the instrument of transfer; (ii) the transferor and transferee named therein execute and acknowledge such other instruments as the non-transferring Member may deem reasonably necessary to effectuate such admission; (iii) the transferee in writing accepts and adopts all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as the same may have been amended; and (iv) the transferor pays, as the non-transferring Member may reasonably determine, all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such admission, including, without limitation, legal fees and costs. To the maximum extent permitted by law, any assignee of an Interest who does not become a substituted member shall have no right to require any information or account of the Company's transactions, to inspect the Company books, or to vote on any of the matters as to which a member would be entitled to vote under this Agreement. An assignee shall only be entitled to share in such Net Profits and Net Losses, to receive such distributions, and to receive such allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar items to which the assignor was entitled, to the extent assigned. A Member that transfers such Member's Interest shall not cease to be a member of the Company until the admission of the assignee as a substituted member. 6.04 Election; Allocations between Transferor and Transferee Upon the transfer of the Interest of any Member or the distribution of any property of the Company to a Member, the Company shall file an election in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Company property to be adjusted for federal income tax purposes as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code. Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Interest of a Member as hereinabove provided, Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee on the basis of a computation method that is in conformity with the methods prescribed by Section 706 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2)(ii). 6.05 Partition No Member shall have the right to partition any assets of the Company or any interest therein, nor shall a Member make application or proceeding for a partition thereto and, upon any breach of the provisions of this Section 6.05 by any Member, the other Member (in addition to all rights and remedies afforded by law or equity) shall be entitled to a decree or order restraining or enjoining such application, action or proceeding.


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -36- 6.06 Waiver of Withdrawal and Purchase Rights Except in connection with any transfer permitted in accordance with this Agreement, no Member may voluntarily withdraw, resign or retire from the Company without the prior written consent of the other Member, which consent may be withheld in such other Member's sole and absolute discretion. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to withdraw and/or resign from the Company pursuant to Section 18-603 of the Delaware Act and hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to receive the fair value of such Member's Interest in the Company upon such resignation and/or withdrawal pursuant to Section 18-604 of the Delaware Act. 6.07 No Appraisal Rights Unless otherwise determined by the Members, none of the Members shall have any appraisal rights with respect to their Interests pursuant to Section 18-210 of the Delaware Act or otherwise. 6.08 Foreclosure of Interest Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, upon a foreclosure, sale or other transfer of any Member's Interest in the Company pursuant to any security interest granted pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the holder of such Interest shall, with the approval of the other Member, be admitted as a substituted member of the Company upon such foreclosure, sale or other transfer, with all of the rights and obligations thereof permitted hereunder. The Company acknowledges that the pledge of any Interest in the Company pursuant to Section 3.03(a) shall be a pledge not only of Net Profits and Net Losses of the Company, but also a pledge of all rights and obligations of the pledgor thereunder. Upon a foreclosure, sale or other transfer of any Interest in the Company pursuant to Section 3.03(a), the successor member may transfer its Interest in the Company in accordance with this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision in the Delaware Act or any other provision contained herein to the contrary, the pledgor under Section 3.03(a) shall be permitted to pledge and, upon any foreclosure of such pledge in connection with the admission of the secured party or other holder as a substituted member, to transfer to the secured party or other holder its rights and obligations to the Company pursuant to the terms of such pledge agreement. ARTICLE VII MEMBER DEFAULT 7.01 Default Events For purposes of this Article VII, the following shall constitute "Default Events": (a) Breach of Agreement. The breach of any material covenant, duty or obligation under this Agreement by any Member (other than a breach described in Section 7.01(b) or 7.01(c) for which there shall be no cure period) if (i) the breaching Member has received written notice from the other Member of the breach, and (ii) (A) the breach is not reasonably susceptible of being cured, or (B) subject to the following sentence, if the breach is reasonably susceptible of being cured, the breaching Member

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the breaching Member will only have the right to cure up to two (2) breaches described in this Section 7.01(a) to avoid any breach resulting in a Default Event hereunder; (b) Capital Default. The failure of a Member to make timely a contribution required to be made pursuant to Section 3.02, or to timely repay any Default Loan in accordance with Section 3.03(a), followed by the election of the Contributing Member to treat such failure as a Default Event pursuant to Section 3.03(c); (c) Prohibited Transfer, Encumbrance or Withdrawal. A Transfer or attempted Transfer by a Member of such Member's Interest in the Company (or portion thereof) or withdrawal or attempted withdrawal by a Member contrary to the provisions of Article VI; (d) Bankruptcy or Insolvency.

The rendering, by a court with appropriate jurisdiction, of a decree or order (i) for the appointment of a receiver, a liquidator, or a trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of a Member, or for the winding up and liquidation of such Member's affairs, provided that such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged and unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days, or (ii) for the sequestration or attachment of any property of a Member without its return to the possession of such Member or its release from such sequestration or attachment within ninety (90) days thereafter; or (f) Bankruptcy Proceedings.

4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -38- For the purposes of implementing the provisions contained in this Article VII, the "Defaulting Member" shall be: (i) in the case of the event referenced in Section 7.01(a), the Member that has breached any material covenant, duty or obligation under this Agreement; (ii) in the case of the event referenced in Section 7.01(b), the Non-Contributing Member; (iii) in the case of the occurrence of the event referenced in Section 7.01(c), the Member that has transferred such Member's rights or interests or withdrawn from the Company contrary to the provisions of Article VI; and (iv) in the case of the occurrence of any of the events referenced in Sections 7.01(d), (e) and/or (f), the Member that is the subject of such court decree or order or has instituted such proceedings or filed such petitions or who is insolvent, etc. The term "Non- Defaulting Member" shall mean the Member that is not the Defaulting Member. For the avoidance of doubt, any default by an Affiliate of a Member under any agreement between such Affiliate and the Company shall not constitute a Default Event by the Member under this Agreement. A Member shall cease to be a Defaulting Member solely for purposes of this Article VII following the occurrence of a Default Event with respect to such Member if the Non- Defaulting Member fails to deliver a Default Notice within the sixty (60)-day or ninety (90)-day periods, as the case may be, set forth in Section 7.02, following the occurrence of such Default Event. 7.02 Rights Arising From a Default Event Within sixty (60) days after the date that the Non-Defaulting Member is aware of the occurrence of an uncured Default Event (or ninety (90) days after the occurrence of any default described in Section 7.01(b)) the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to implement the default procedures set forth in this Article VII by delivering written notice ("Default Notice") thereof to the Defaulting Member. Failure of a Non-Defaulting Member to deliver a Default Notice within such sixty (60)-day or ninety (90)-day period shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to deliver a Default Notice upon the occurrence of any subsequent Default Event. 7.03 Determination of Defaulting Member's Purchase Price Within thirty (30) days after the determination of the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member if (i) the assets of the Company were sold for the Appraised Value thereof as of the effective date of the Default Notice; (ii) the liabilities of the Company were liquidated pursuant to Section 12.02(a); (iii) a reasonable reserve for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company was established by the Non-Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 12.02(b); and (iv) any remaining amounts (including, without limitation, any cash proceeds of the Company) were distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02(c). Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each Member written notice ("Accountant's Notice") thereof. The determination by the Accounting Firm of such amounts, including all components thereof, shall be deemed conclusive absent any material computational error. In the case of a Default Event described in Section 7.01(a), (b) or (c), ninety percent (90%), and in the case of any other Default Event, one hundred percent (100%), of the amount which would be distributed to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 12.02(c) shall be deemed the purchase price for the Defaulting Member's


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -39- Interest (the "Defaulting Member's Purchase Price") for purposes of this Article VII; subject, however, to adjustment for any Default Loans as provided in Section 7.09.

For purposes of this Article VII, the appraised value ("Appraised Value") of the assets of the Company shall be determined as follows: The Appraised Value shall be determined by one (1) or more independent qualified M.A.I. appraisers with at least five (5) years' experience appraising industrial real estate projects. The Non-Defaulting Member shall select one (1) appraiser and shall include such selection in the Default Notice. Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the effective date of the Default Notice, the Defaulting Member shall either agree to the appraiser selected by the Non-Defaulting Member or select a second (2nd) appraiser and give written notice to the Non-Defaulting Member of the person so selected. If either the Non-Defaulting Member or the Defaulting Member fails to appoint such an appraiser within the time period specified and after the expiration of five (5) Business Days following the effective date of written demand that an appraiser be appointed, then the appraiser duly appointed by the Member making such demand to appoint such appraiser shall proceed to make the appraisal as herein set forth, and the determination thereof shall be conclusive on both of the Members. If two (2) appraisers are selected, then such selected appraisers shall thereafter appoint a third (3rd) appraiser. If the two (2) selected appraisers fail to appoint a third (3rd) appraiser within ten (10) Business Days following the effective date of written notice from the Defaulting Member notifying the Non-Defaulting Member of the selection of the second (2nd) appraiser, then any Member may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a third (3rd) appraiser, in the same manner as provided for the appointment of an arbitrator pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.6. The appraiser or three (3) appraisers, as the case may be, shall promptly determine a date for the completion of the appraisal, which shall not be later than sixty (60) days from the effective date of the appointment of the last appraiser. The appraiser(s) shall determine the Appraised Value by determining the fair market value of the assets of the Company, such fair market value being the fairest price estimated in the terms of money which the Company could obtain if such assets were sold in the open market allowing a reasonable time to find a purchaser who purchases with knowledge of the business of the Company at the time of the occurrence of the Default Event. Upon submission of the appraisals setting forth the opinions as to the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company, the two (2) such appraisals which are nearest in amount shall be retained, and the third (3rd) appraisal shall be discarded. The average of the two (2) retained appraisals shall constitute the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company for purposes of this Article VII; unless one (1) appraisal is the mean of the other two (2) appraisals, in which case such appraisal shall constitute the Appraised Value of the assets of the Company for purposes of this Article VII. (b) Payment of Costs. Except as provided below, the Non-Defaulting Member shall pay for the services of the appraiser appointed by such Member, and the


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -40- Defaulting Member shall pay for the services of the appraiser appointed by such Member. The cost of the services of the third (3rd) appraiser, if any, shall be paid one-half (½) by the Non-Defaulting Member, on the one hand, and one-half (½) by the Defaulting Member, on the other hand. The costs of the services of the Accounting Firm and, in the event only one (1) appraiser is required, the cost of the services of such appraiser, shall be paid one-half (½) by the Non-Defaulting Member, on the one hand, and one-half (½) by the Defaulting Member, on the other hand. 7.04 Non-Defaulting Members' Option For a period of thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Accountant's Notice, the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase the entire Interest of the Defaulting Member for the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VII by giving written notice of such election to the Defaulting Member within such thirty (30)-day period. Failure by the Non-Defaulting Member to timely give written notice exercising such Member's right to elect to purchase set forth in this Section 7.04 shall be deemed an election by such Member to waive such right to purchase with respect to the particular Default Event that triggered the application of the provisions of this Article VII. 7.05 Closing Adjustments Within five (5) days before the actual date of the closing pursuant to Section 7.06 below, the Accounting Firm shall recalculate the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member pursuant to Section 12.02(c), if such amount were determined as of the closing date under Section 7.06 (in lieu of the effective date of the Default Notice) taking into account any contributions and/or distributions made after the effective date of the Default Notice. Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each Member written notice ("Adjusted Accountant's Notice") thereof. The Accounting Firm shall reasonably and in good faith adjust the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price, if and to the extent necessary, to take into account the adjustments described in the Adjusted Accountant's Notice and to take into account appropriate prorations that would have been made if there had been an actual sale of the Project to a third party as of the date of the closing under Section 7.06. 7.06 Closing of Purchase and Sale The closing of a purchase and sale pursuant to this Article VII shall be held at the principal office of the Company in California on a Business Day designated by the Non- Defaulting Member that is not later than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period set forth in Section 7.04. The Defaulting Member shall transfer to the purchasing Non- Defaulting Member (or such Member's nominee(s)) the entire Interest of the Defaulting Member free and clear of all liens, security interests, and competing claims and shall deliver to the Non- Defaulting Member (or such Member's nominee(s)) such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution, and delivery, and of the absence of any such liens, security interests, or competing claims as the Non-Defaulting Member (or such Member's nominee(s)) shall reasonably request.


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -41- 7.07 Representations and Warranties At the closing, the Defaulting Member shall represent and warrant to the Non-Defaulting Member that the sale of the Defaulting Member's Interest to the Non-Defaulting Member (or its nominee) (i) does not violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, security or pledge agreement, license, lease, franchise, permit, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Defaulting Member is a party (exclusive of any such agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party), or (ii) violate any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Defaulting Member or any of the other properties or assets of the Defaulting Member. The Defaulting Member shall also represent and warrant to the Non- Defaulting Member at such closing that no notice to, declaration, filing or registration with, or authorization, consent or approval, or permit from, any domestic or foreign governmental regulatory body or authority, or any Person, is necessary in connection with the sale of its Interest to the Non-Defaulting Member. 7.08 Payment of Defaulting Member's Purchase Price The Non-Defaulting Member shall pay (or cause to be paid) the entire Defaulting Member's Purchase Price by delivering at the closing a confirmed wire transfer of readily available funds or one (1) or more certified or bank cashier's checks made payable to the order of the Defaulting Member. 7.09 Repayment of Default Loans The Defaulting Member's Purchase Price shall be offset at the closing of such purchase by the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member. Such Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) shall be deemed paid to the extent of such offset, with such deemed payment to be applied first to the accrued interest thereon and thereafter to the payment of the outstanding principal amount thereof. If the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price is insufficient to fully offset the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loans (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member, then the portion of any such Default Loan(s) (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be required to be paid by the Defaulting Member at the closing referenced in Section 7.06. Also, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the unpaid balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (including all outstanding principal amounts thereof and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the Defaulting Member to the Non-Defaulting Member be required to be paid by the Non-Defaulting Member at the closing referenced in Section 7.06. 7.10 Release and Indemnity On or before the closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Article VII, the Non- Defaulting Member shall use such Member's reasonable and good faith efforts to obtain written


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -42- releases of the Defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member's Affiliates from all liabilities under all Recourse Documents and Nonrecourse Documents and all other liabilities of the Company for which the Defaulting Member and/or its Affiliates may have personal liability, except to the extent such liabilities arise out of any Bad Acts or Prohibited Transfer (as such terms are defined in Section 10.02(a) below) of such Defaulting Member or any Affiliate thereof. To the extent the Non-Defaulting Member is unable to obtain such releases on or before the closing, the Non-Defaulting Member and an Affiliate of the Non-Defaulting Member with a net worth reasonably acceptable to the Defaulting Member shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold the Defaulting Member and its Affiliates wholly harmless from and against all such liabilities and guaranties, except to the extent such liabilities arise out of any Bad Acts or Prohibited Transfer of the Defaulting Member or any Affiliate thereof. For purposes of clarification, the release, indemnity and related provisions set forth above in this Section 7.10 shall not apply to any Losses which are incurred by the Defaulting Member or its Affiliates to the extent such liabilities arise under an Affiliate Agreement. 7.11 Withdrawal of the Defaulting Member If the Interest of the Defaulting Member is purchased by the Non-Defaulting Member (or its nominee) pursuant to this Article VII, then, effective as of the closing for such purchase, the Defaulting Member shall withdraw as a member of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnity of the Defaulting Member and its Affiliates provided for under this Agreement including, without limitation, under Section 10.02(b) shall survive the sale of the Interest of the Defaulting Member and its withdrawal as a member of the Company. 7.12 Distribution of Reserves Within one (1) year following the closing of the purchase of the entire Interest of the Defaulting Member in the Company pursuant to this Article VII, the Non-Defaulting Member shall pay to the Defaulting Member an amount equal to the difference between the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price determined pursuant to Section 7.03 and the amount that the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price would have been equal to if (i) no reserves had been established or deducted in calculating the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price, and (ii) the amount used in determining the Defaulting Member's Purchase Price under Section 7.03 had been reduced by the aggregate amount of any contingent, unmatured or conditional liabilities of the Company (for which such reserve was established) that were actually paid by the Company during such one (1)-year period. ARTICLE VIII ELECTIVE BUY/SELL AGREEMENT 8.01 Buy/Sell Election If there is a continuing Impasse Event under this Agreement, then either Member that is not a Defaulting Member (the "Electing Member") shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time after the Lockout Date to elect to implement the buy/sell procedures set forth in this Article VIII by delivering written notice of such election ("Election Notice") to the other Member (the "Non-Electing Member"). The term "Lockout Date" means the earlier of (i) the


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -43- completion of the Project (exclusive of any tenant improvements), or (ii) the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Effective Date. The Election Notice shall set forth a stated value (the "Stated Value"), as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Electing Member, for all of the assets of the Company. 8.02 Determination of the Purchase Price Within ten (10) Business Days following the effective date of any Election Notice (or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter), the Accounting Firm shall determine the aggregate amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member if (i) the assets of the Company were sold for their Stated Value as of the effective date of the Election Notice; (ii) the known non-contingent liabilities of the Company (exclusive of any prepayment penalties payable with respect to any Loan obtained by the Company) were liquidated pursuant to Section 12.02(a); (iii) a reserve was not established for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company pursuant to Section 12.02(b); and (iv) any remaining amounts were distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.02(c). Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each Member written notice ("Price Determination Notice") thereof. The determination by the Accounting Firm of such amounts including all components thereof, shall be deemed conclusive on all of the Members, absent any material computational error. One hundred percent (100%) of the amount that would be distributed to each Member pursuant to Section 12.02(c) shall be deemed the purchase price ("Purchase Price") for such Member's Interest for purposes of this Article VIII; subject, however, to adjustment for any Default Loans described in Section 8.08. 8.03 Non-Electing Member's Option For a period of thirty (30) days following the effective date of the Price Determination Notice, the Non-Electing Member shall have the option to elect by delivering written notice (the "Purchase Notice") of such election to the Electing Member within such thirty (30)-day period, either (i) to purchase the Electing Member's entire Interest for the Purchase Price thereof, or (ii) to sell such Non-Electing Member's entire Interest to the Electing Member for the Purchase Price thereof. Failure of the Non-Electing Member to timely and validly make an election in accordance with this Section 8.03 shall constitute an election by such Non-Electing Member to sell such Non-Electing Member's entire Interest for the Purchase Price thereof to the Electing Member. 8.04 Deposit WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE THIRTY (30)-DAY OPTION PERIOD SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.03, THE BUYING MEMBER SHALL DEPOSIT INTO AN ESCROW ACCOUNT ESTABLISHED BY THE BUYING MEMBER WITH A NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED TITLE COMPANY, A DEPOSIT (THE "DEPOSIT") BY A WIRE TRANSFER OF IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FEDERAL FUNDS IN AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THREE PERCENT (3%) OF THE PURCHASE PRICE, WHICH SHALL BE NON-REFUNDABLE TO THE BUYING MEMBER IF THE CLOSING OF THE SALE FAILS TO OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THE BUYING MEMBER'S DEFAULT. UPON THE CLOSING OF THE SALE, THE DEPOSIT


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -44- SHALL BE A CREDIT AGAINST THE PURCHASE PRICE. SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.10, IF THE SALE FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO THE BUYING MEMBER'S DEFAULT, THEN THE SELLING MEMBER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT OF THE BUYING MEMBER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DEFAULT. THE MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH THE SELLING MEMBER MAY SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH A DEFAULT BY THE BUYING MEMBER UNDER THIS ARTICLE VIII. THEREFORE, SUBJECT TO SECTION 8.10, THE MEMBERS HAVE AGREED THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT THE SELLING MEMBER WOULD SUFFER IN SUCH EVENT IS AND SHALL BE THE RIGHT OF THE SELLING MEMBER TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW UNDER THIS ARTICLE VIII. THE MEMBERS EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF DELAWARE LAW (OR CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3375 OR 3369 OR UNDER ANY OTHER STATE LAWS TO THE EXTENT DELAWARE LAW DOES NOT APPLY), BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO THE SELLING MEMBER PURSUANT TO DELAWARE LAW (OR CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OR UNDER ANY OTHER STATE LAWS TO THE EXTENT DELAWARE LAW DOES NOT APPLY). NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL LIMIT OR OTHERWISE AFFECT ANY RIGHTS THE SELLING MEMBER MAY HAVE TO OBTAIN SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AND, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDIES. THE MEMBERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THEIR COUNSEL WITH RESPECT TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 8.04 AND BY THEIR INITIALS SET FORTH BELOW INDICATE THAT THE FOREGOING REMEDIES ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND AGREE AND COVENANT NOT TO CONTEST THE VALIDITY OF SUCH REMEDY AS A PENALTY, FORFEITURE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY COURT OF LAW (AND/OR IN ANY ARBITRATION PROCEEDING). __________________ INITIALS OF TEJON ______________________ INITIALS OF DP 8.05 Closing Adjustments Within five (5) days before the actual date of the closing pursuant to Section 8.06 below, the Accounting Firm shall recalculate the amount of cash which would be distributed to each Member pursuant to Section 12.02(c) if such amount were determined as of the closing date under Section 8.06 (in lieu of the effective date of the Election Notice) taking into account any contributions and/or distributions that occur after the effective date of the Election Notice. Upon such determination, the Accounting Firm shall give each Member written notice ("Adjusted Price Determination Notice") thereof. The Accounting Firm shall reasonably and in good faith adjust the buying Member's Purchase Price, if and to the extent necessary, to take into account the adjustments described in the Adjusted Price Determination Notice and to take into account appropriate prorations that would have been made if there had been an actual sale of the Project to a third party.


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -45- 8.06 Closing of Purchase and Sale The closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Article VIII shall be held at the principal office of the Company on a Business Day designated by the buying Member within sixty (60) days following the earlier of (i) the effective date upon which the Non-Electing Member has delivered the Purchase Notice pursuant to Section 8.03, or (ii) the expiration of the thirty (30)-day option period set forth in Section 8.03. The selling Member shall transfer to the buying Member (or the buying Member's nominee(s)) the entire Interest of the selling Member free and clear of all liens, security interests, and competing claims and shall deliver to the buying Member (or the buying Member's nominee(s)) such instruments of transfer and such evidence of due authorization, execution, and delivery, and of the absence of any such liens, security interests, or competing claims, as the buying Member (or the buying Member's nominee(s)) shall reasonably request. The Purchase Price for the selling Member's Interest shall be paid by the buying Member by delivering at the closing of a confirmed wire transfer of readily available funds or one (1) or more certified or bank cashier's checks made payable to the selling Member in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, less the amount of the Deposit paid by the buying Member pursuant to Section 8.04 above (which shall be released to the selling Member at the closing). Effective as of the closing for the purchase of the selling Member's Interest, the selling Member shall withdraw as a member of the Company. In connection with any such withdrawal, the buying Member may cause any nominee designated in the sole and absolute discretion of such Member to be admitted as a substituted member of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any indemnity of the selling Member and its Affiliates provided for under this Agreement including, without limitation, under Section 10.02(b) shall survive the sale of the Interest of the selling Member and its withdrawal as a member of the Company. 8.07 Representations and Warranties At the closing, the selling Member shall represent and warrant to the buying Member that the sale of the selling Member's Interest to the buying Member (or its nominee) (i) does not violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provisions of, or constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, security or pledge agreement, license, lease, franchise, permit, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the selling Member is a party (exclusive of any such agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party), or (ii) violate any judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the selling Member or any of the other properties or assets of the selling Member (exclusive of its Interest in the Company). The selling Member shall also represent and warrant to the buying Member at such closing that no notice to, declaration, filing or registration with, or authorization, consent or approval, or permit from, any domestic or foreign governmental regulatory body or authority, or any Person, is necessary in connection with the sale of its Interest to the buying Member. 8.08 Repayment of Default Loans The Purchase Price shall be offset at the closing of such purchase by the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the buying Member to the selling Member. Such Default Loan(s) (together


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -46- with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) shall be deemed paid to the extent of such offset, with such deemed payment to be applied first to the accrued interest thereon and thereafter to the payment of the outstanding principal amount thereof. If the Purchase Price is insufficient to fully offset the then unpaid principal balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (together with all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the buying Member to the selling Member, then the portion of any such Default Loan(s) (and accrued, unpaid interest thereon) that remains outstanding following such offset shall be required to be paid by the selling Member at the closing referenced in Section 8.06. Also, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the unpaid balance of any and all Default Loan(s) (including all outstanding principal amounts thereof and all accrued, unpaid interest thereon) made by the selling Member to the buying Member shall be required to be paid by the buying Member at the closing referenced in Section 8.06. 8.09 Release and Indemnity On or before the closing of a purchase and sale held pursuant to this Article VIII, the buying Member shall use such Member's reasonable and good faith efforts to obtain written releases of the selling Member and the selling Member's Affiliates from all liabilities under all Recourse Documents and Nonrecourse Documents and all other liabilities of the Company for which the selling Member and/or its Affiliates may have personal liability, except to the extent such liabilities arise out of any Bad Acts or Prohibited Transfer of such selling Member or any Affiliate thereof. To the extent the buying Member is unable to obtain such releases on or before the closing, the buying Member and an Affiliate of the buying Member with a net worth reasonably acceptable to the selling Member shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold the selling Member and its Affiliates wholly harmless from and against all such liabilities and guaranties, except to the extent such liabilities arise out of any Bad Acts or Prohibited Transfer of such selling Member or any Affiliate thereof. For purposes of clarification, the release, indemnity and related provisions set forth above in this Section 8.09 shall not apply to any Losses which are incurred by the Defaulting Member or its Affiliates to the extent such liabilities arise under an Affiliate Agreement. 8.10 Interim Event of Default If the buying Member breaches its obligation under this Article VIII to timely and validly close the purchase of the selling Member's Interest, then (i) the buying Member shall not have any further right to deliver an Election Notice pursuant to Section 8.01 for a period of one (1) year after the date of such default, and (ii) the selling Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase the Interest of the buying Member by delivering a Purchase Notice to such buying Member within thirty (30) days following such default. If the selling Member makes the election described in clause (ii) above, then the Purchase Price for the buying Member's Interest shall be ninety percent (90%) of the amount that was otherwise determined under Section 8.02 and such purchase and sale shall otherwise be on the other terms and conditions set forth in this Article VIII. If the selling Member delivers a Purchase Notice pursuant to this Section 8.10, then the selling Member shall not be entitled to retain the Deposit under Section 8.04.


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -47- 8.11 Application of Provisions The Members acknowledge and agree that if either Member has timely and validly delivered an Election Notice to the other Member and initiated the buy/sell procedures set forth in this Article VIII, then such other Member shall be precluded from delivering an Election Notice unless such buy/sell procedure has been terminated.

In no event shall Brett Dedeaux have any liability for the breach of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement. 9.03 Brokerage Fee Representation and Indemnity Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other Member wholly harmless from and against all Losses arising out of any claim for brokerage or other commissions relative to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated herein insofar, as any such claim arises by reason of services alleged to have been rendered to or at the request of such indemnifying Member or any Affiliate thereof. No Member shall receive any credit to its Capital Account or Unreturned Contribution Account or otherwise be reimbursed by the Company for any amounts paid by such Member pursuant to this Section 9.03. 9.04 Investment Representations Each Member agrees as follows with respect to investment representations: (a) Member Understandings. Each Member understands the following: (i) No Registration. That the Interests in the Company evidenced by this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 15b et seq., the Delaware Securities Act, the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968 or any other state securities laws (the "Securities Acts") because the Company is issuing Interests in the Company in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Acts providing for issuance of securities not involving a public offering; (ii) Reliance by the Company. That the Company has relied upon the representation made by each Member that the Interest issued to such Member is to be held by such Member for investment; and (iii) No Distribution. That exemption from registration under the Securities Acts would not be available if any Interest in the Company was acquired by a Member with a view to distribution. Each Member agrees that the Company is under no obligation to register the Interests or to assist the Members in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Acts if the Member should at a later date wish to dispose of such its Interest in the Company. (b) Acquisition for Own Account. Each Member hereby represents to the Company and the other Member that such representing Member is acquiring its Interest in the Company for such Member's own account, for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DP has informed Tejon that DP is acquiring its Interest in the Company with the expectation that DP will admit one (1) or more capital partners in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as investors in DP or in an Affiliate of DP to hold the Interest and that DP will be soliciting potential capital partners for such investment. DP hereby covenants and agrees that the solicitation and


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -52- admission of any such capital partner in DP or in an Affiliate of DP will be made in full compliance with all applicable state and federal securities laws. (c) No Public Market. Each Member recognizes that no public market exists with respect to the Interests and no representation has been made that such a public market will exist at a future date. (d) No Advertisement. Each Member hereby represents that such Member has not received any advertisement or general solicitation with respect to the sale of the Interests. (e) Pre-Existing Business Relationship. Each Member acknowledges that such Member has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or its officers, directors, or principal interest holders, or, by reason of such Member's business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of such Member's financial advisors (who are not affiliated with the Company), could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect such Member's own interest in connection with the acquisition of its Interest. Each Member further acknowledges that such Member is familiar with the financial condition and prospects of the Company's business, and has discussed with the other Member the current activities of the Company. Each Member believes that the Interest is a security of the kind such Member wishes to purchase and hold for investment, and that the nature and amount of the Interest is consistent with such Member's investment program. (f) Due Investigation. Before acquiring any Interest in the Company, each Member has investigated the Company and its business and the Company has made available to each Member all information necessary for the Member to make an informed decision to acquire an Interest in the Company. Each Member considers itself to be a Person possessing experience and sophistication as an investor adequate for the evaluation of the merits and risks of the Member's investment in the Company. 9.05 Indemnification Obligations In addition to the indemnity described in Section 9.03 above, each Member hereby unconditionally and irrevocably covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the other Member and such other Member's partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents and other representatives (collectively, the "Affiliated Parties") from and against any and all Losses incurred by the other Member and/or such Affiliated Parties to the extent such Losses arise out of any material inaccuracy or material breach of any representations or warranties made by such Member under this Agreement. No Member shall receive any credit to its Capital Account or Unreturned Contribution Account or otherwise be reimbursed by the Company for any amounts paid by such Member pursuant to this Section 9.05. 9.06 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants Each Member understands the meaning and consequences of the representations, warranties and covenants made by such Member set forth in this Article IX and that the


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -53- Company and the other Member have relied upon such representations, warranties and covenants. All representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Article IX shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the formation of the Company, the withdrawal of any Member as a member of the Company and the Liquidation of the Company. ARTICLE X LIABILITY, EXCULPATION, RESTRICTIONS ON COMPETITION, FIDUCIARY DUTIES AND INDEMNIFICATION 10.01 Liability for Company Claims Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, the Delaware Act and/or any other applicable law, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a member of the Company. 10.02 Exculpation, Indemnity and Reliance on Information The Members hereby agree to the exculpation, indemnity and other provisions set forth below as follows: (a) Limitation on Covered Person Liability. No authorized person, Member or Officer of the Company, or, if designated by the Executive Committee, any Affiliate or any direct or indirect members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, managers, trustees or employees of any Member (collectively, the "Covered Persons") shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or to any Member for any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law or for anything that such Covered Person may do or refrain from doing hereafter, except to the extent caused by any Bad Acts or Prohibited Transfer of such Covered Person or any Affiliate thereof. As used herein, the term "Bad Acts" means (i) gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, (ii) any act or omission outside the scope of authority granted under this Agreement resulting in damages or liability to a Covered Person, (iii) any breach of this Agreement, and (iv) any action willingly taken by any Guarantor under any Recourse Document for the Project or Nonrecourse Document for the Project without the prior written consent of both Members, which creates liability under any such Recourse Document or Nonrecourse Document. The term "Prohibited Transfer" means any transfer of a direct or indirect ownership in the Company (including, without limitation, any transfer of a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Member) that results in a Lender declaring a default or breach of or under any of the loan documents evidencing any Loan obtained by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the Bad Act or Prohibited Transfer of any Affiliate or employee of any Person will also be deemed to be the Bad Act or Prohibited Transfer of such Person. The foregoing is subject to any applicable cure period provided under this Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, in no event will the limitation on liability set forth in this Section 10.02(a) extend to any Losses that may be incurred or that may arise under any Affiliate Agreement, subject to and without


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -54- limiting the provisions of any such Affiliate Agreement governing any limitation of liability of any party under such Affiliate Agreement. (b) Indemnity. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, the Company hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel selected by the Executive Committee), protect and hold harmless, each Covered Person, from and against any and all Losses incurred by such Covered Person by reason of anything which such Covered Person may do or refrain from doing that arises out of or relates to the Company to the extent such Losses are not covered by insurance maintained by or for the benefit of such Covered Person. The foregoing obligation of the Company to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each Covered Person shall extend to any Losses incurred by any Guarantor under any Recourse Document or Nonrecourse Document (or as a result of the rights of contribution described in Section 3.05). Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 10.02(b), no Covered Person (including any Guarantor) shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Company to the extent any such Losses are incurred by such Covered Person by reason of, or in connection with, any Bad Acts or Prohibited Transfer of such Covered Person. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event will the indemnity obligation of the Company under this Section 10.02(b) extend to any Losses that may be incurred or that may arise under an Affiliate Agreement, subject to and without limiting the provisions of any such Affiliate Agreement governing an indemnity by the Company of such Affiliate. The Administrative Member may cause the Company to pay any costs and/or expenses incurred by any Covered Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding prior to the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of any undertaking by or on behalf of such Covered Person (or, in the Executive Committee's reasonable discretion, a creditworthy Affiliate thereof) to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in this Section 10.02(b). The obligation of the Company to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless each Covered Person under any provision of this Agreement shall survive the withdrawal of any Member from the Company and/or the Liquidation of the Company, in each case solely to the extent such obligation of the Company arose prior to such withdrawal or Liquidation. If a claim for indemnification or payment of expenses under this Section 10.02(b) is not paid in full within thirty (30) calendar days after a written claim therefor by the Covered Person has been received by the Company, then the Covered Person may initiate an action to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim. In any such action, the Covered Person shall have the burden of proving that the Covered Person was entitled to the requested indemnification or payment of expenses under applicable law. (c) Reliance upon Information, Opinions, Reports, etc. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company, any information received by any Member or the Company with respect to the Project


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -55- (financial or otherwise), and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Covered Person reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence including, without limitation, information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, profits, losses or cash flow or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to Members might properly be paid. 10.03 Limitation on Liability Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (and without limiting any liability a party may have under the Delaware Act or other applicable law to return any distribution received by such party), no direct or indirect member, manager, partner, shareholder, officer, director, trustee or employee in or of any Member (collectively, the "Nonrecourse Parties") shall be personally liable in any manner or to any extent under or in connection with this Agreement, and neither any Member nor the Company shall have any recourse to any assets of any of the Nonrecourse Parties. Neither any Member nor any Nonrecourse Party shall have any liability for any punitive damages, lost profits, special damages or consequential damages based on any claim that arises out of or relates to this Agreement and/or the Company. The limitation on liability provided in this Section 10.03 is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation on liability applicable to any Member or Nonrecourse Party provided by law or by this Agreement or any other contract, agreement or instrument. 10.04 Activities of the Members and Their Affiliates Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Member and their respective direct and indirect Affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, directors, managers, officers, employees, agents and trustees shall only be required to devote so much of their time to the business and affairs of the Company as is determined in the reasonable discretion of each such party. Subject to the terms of Section 10.05, neither Member nor any of its direct and indirect Affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents or trustees shall be prohibited from engaging in other businesses whether or not similar to the business of the Company and each such party shall be entitled to retain for its own benefit any economic or other rights or benefits derived from any such other business. 10.05 Right of First Offer If (i) Tejon Industrial Corp. or any Affiliate thereof intends to develop and construct an industrial project on that certain real property located within the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center in the County of Kern, State of California described more fully on Exhibit "J" attached hereto ("Parcel 1A"), (ii) DP is not a Defaulting Member, (iii) one (1) or more of Brett Dedeaux, Justin Dedeaux and Terry Dedeaux, individually or collectively, directly or indirectly, maintain control of Dedeaux Properties, LLC, a California limited liability company (the "Dedeaux Properties"), and (iv) one (1) or more of Brett Dedeaux, Justin Dedeaux and Terry Dedeaux, in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, own more than fifty percent (50%) of Dedeaux Properties, then Tejon shall prior to Tejon Industrial Corp. or any Affiliate thereof proceeding with such development deliver


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -56- to Dedeaux Properties (with a copy to DP) (A) a written notice of such intent to develop Parcel 1A (the "Development Notice"), and (B) an investment memorandum describing the proposed development (the "Proposed Development"). The investment memorandum will include (1) a pro forma cash flow analysis, (2) an investment return summary, and (3) a market overview and competitive rent survey. Within forty-five (45) days following the effective date of the Development Notice, Dedeaux Properties will have the right to elect to participate in the Proposed Development on the same terms and conditions that are set forth in this Agreement (subject to the Members agreeing upon the agreed value of Parcel 1A) by delivering written notice of such election to Tejon provided all of the requirements set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above are satisfied on the date such election is made. If Dedeaux Properties fails to timely deliver such notice or if Tejon and Dedeaux Properties fail to reach an agreement, for any reason or for no reason, with respect to the terms of such participation within forty-five (45) days following the effective date of the Development Notice, then Tejon Industrial Corp. (or its designee) will have the right to proceed with the development of Parcel 1A with or without a third party developer on such terms and conditions as are determined by Tejon in its sole and absolute discretion. The right of Dedeaux Properties to participate in any Proposed Development under this Section 10.05 will automatically terminate if either DP or Tejon withdraw as a member of the Company prior to the sale or disposition of the Project. 10.06 Fiduciary Duties The fiduciary duties otherwise owed by the Members to each other under the Delaware Act or otherwise are limited as follows: (a) Other Activities. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, to the maximum extent allowed by law, neither Member shall have any obligations (fiduciary or otherwise) with respect to the Company or to the other Member insofar as making other investment opportunities available to the Company or to the other Member. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Member may engage in whatever activities such Member may choose, whether the same are competitive with the Company or otherwise, without having or incurring any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Company or to the other Member. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any activities undertaken pursuant hereto shall prevent either Member from engaging in such activities, and to the maximum extent allowed by law, the fiduciary duties of the Members to each other and to the Company shall be limited solely to those arising from the business of the Company. EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT THE MODIFICATION AND WAIVER OF THE FIDUCIARY DUTIES OF EACH MEMBER PURSUANT TO THIS ARTICLE X ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND HAVE BEEN UNDERTAKEN WITH THE INFORMED CONSENT OF EACH MEMBER. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, EACH MEMBER AGREES AND COVENANTS NOT TO CONTEST THE VALIDITY OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION IN ANY COURT OF LAW (AND/OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING). (b) Good Faith and Fair Dealing. Except as otherwise provided by this Agreement, each Member intends to limit the standard of care, degree of loyalty and


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -57- fiduciary duties to the maximum extent allowed by law; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Member may exercise any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement without regard to any fiduciary duties that are owed to the Company or the other Member including, without limitation, the remedies set forth in Section 3.03 and Articles VII and VIII. 10.07 Non-Exclusivity of Rights Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights conferred on any Person by this Article X shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such Person may have or hereafter acquire under any applicable law. 10.08 Amendment or Repeal Any repeal or modification of the foregoing provisions of this Article X shall not adversely affect any right or protection hereunder of any Person in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such repeal or modification. 10.09 Insurance The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, to the extent and in such amounts as are determined by the Executive Committee on behalf of the Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Executive Committee shall determine in its reasonable discretion, against any liability or claim that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by any such Person in connection with the activities of the Company or such indemnities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. The Company may enter into indemnity contracts with Covered Persons and such other Persons as the Executive Committee shall determine and adopt written procedures pursuant to which arrangements are made for the advancement of expenses and the funding of obligations under Section 10.02(b) hereof and containing such other procedures regarding indemnifications as are appropriate. ARTICLE XI BOOKS AND RECORDS 11.01 Books of Account and Bank Accounts The taxable year of the Company shall be the year ending December 31. Tejon shall maintain accurate and complete books of account and records showing the assets and liabilities, operations, transactions and financial condition of the Company on an accrual basis in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, consistently applied. Tejon shall also provide to the other Member within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month (i) an unaudited monthly net cash flow statement setting forth the calculation of net cash flow and all disbursements of cash by the Company, and (ii) an unaudited statement of continuing operations for the Company, including a balance sheet for the Company, as of the end of the month, and a profit and loss statement for the month. Promptly after written request by the other Member, Tejon shall deliver such other information as is reasonably requested by the other


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -58- Member. Tejon shall also provide on an annual basis within thirty (30) calendar days after each calendar year annual unaudited statements of the operations of the Company including (A) statement of net assets (balance sheet); (B) statement of operations; (C) statement of cash flows; and (D) statement of changes in Members' capital. The annual financial reports shall be delivered together with a written statement by Tejon that includes a representation by Tejon that such financial statements have been prepared in accordance Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, consistently applied. Upon not less than seventy-two (72) hours prior notice, Tejon shall cooperate with the other Member, at the Company's sole cost and expense, to conduct an independent inspection and review of the books and records of the Company. The other Member shall have the authority to authorize the preparation of audited financial statements for the Company at the expense of the requesting party. The failure by Tejon to deliver or otherwise cooperate timely with any item to be delivered or request made in accordance with the requirements of this Section 11.01 shall be considered a material breach of Tejon's obligations under this Agreement (provided the foregoing shall not limit any cure rights the other Member may have with respect to such breach under Section 2.17(c)(i) or 7.01(a) above). During normal business hours at the principal office of the Company, on not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior notice, all of the following shall be made available for inspection and copying by each Member at its own expense: (i) all books and records relating to the business and financial condition of the Company, (ii) a current list of the name and last known business, residence or mailing address of each Member, (iii) a copy of this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation for the Company and all amendments thereto, together with executed copies of any written powers-of-attorney pursuant to which this Agreement, the Certificate of Formation and/or any amendments thereto have been executed, (iv) the amount of cash and a description and statement of the agreed value of any other property or services contributed by each Member to the capital of the Company and which each Member has agreed to contribute in the future, and (v) the date upon which each Member became a member of the Company. 11.02 Tax Returns Tejon shall cause to be prepared and timely filed and distributed to each Member, at the expense of the Company (and prepared by an accounting firm approved by the Executive Committee), all required federal and state tax returns for the Company which shall be delivered to the Members by no later than March 31 each year. The failure by Tejon to deliver timely any tax return in accordance with the requirements of this Section 11.02 shall be considered a material breach of Tejon's obligations under this Agreement if (i) such failure is not caused by the other Member's delay in delivering any information reasonably and timely requested in writing by Tejon, and (ii) such failure is not caused by the accounting firm's failure to prepare such tax returns within the estimated timeframe provided by the accounting firm or any failure by the Executive Committee to agree on any accounting treatment or election (provided the foregoing shall not limit any cure rights Tejon may have with respect to such breach under Section 2.17(c)(i) or 7.01(a) above). Tejon is hereby designated as the "partnership representative" of the Company within the meaning of Section 6223(a) of the Code, as amended by Title XI of the Bipartisan Budget Act of


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -59- 2015. Tejon is specifically directed and authorized to (x) to take whatever steps may be necessary or desirable to perfect its designation as "partnership representative," including filing any forms or documents with the IRS, and (y) to take such other action as may from time to time be required under the Code and the Regulations. The "partnership representative" of the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Company for all reasonable third-party out- of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any tax proceeding relating to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the "partnership representative" of the Company shall (i) provide the Members with prompt notice and copies of all communications with the IRS, (ii) reasonably consult with the Members regarding the resolution of any disputes with the IRS, and (iii) not settle any such dispute, extend the statute of limitations with respect to such dispute, or take any other material action that would bind the Company or the Members in connection with any material matter, unless such decision is approved as a Major Decision. As the "partnership representative" of the Company, Tejon will have the right to make an election to treat any "partnership adjustment" as an adjustment to be taken into account by each Member (and former member) in accordance with Section 6226 of the Code. ARTICLE XII DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY 12.01 Events Causing Dissolution of the Company Upon any Member's bankruptcy, resignation, withdrawal, expulsion or other cessation to serve or the admission of a new member into the Company, the Company shall not dissolve but the business of the Company shall continue without interruption or break in continuity. However, the Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of any of the following events: (a) Failure to Deliver Initial Annual Business Plan. The election of Tejon to dissolve the Company if DP does not deliver the annual business plan for the first Business Plan Period for any reason to the Executive Committee pursuant to Section 2.07 within ninety (90) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement (provided such election is made prior to the date (if any) that the Executive Committee approves the initial annual business plan for the Company); (b) Failure to Approve Initial Business Plan. The election of either Member to dissolve the Company if the Executive Committee for any reason does not approve the annual business plan for the first Business Plan Period in its sole and absolute discretion within ten (10) Business Days following the submission of such plan to the Executive Committee pursuant to Section 2.07 (provided such election is made prior to the date (if any) that the Executive Committee approves the initial annual business plan for the Company); (c) Failure to Timely Close Construction Loan. The election of either Member to dissolve the Company if the Company and the Construction Loan Lender do not execute and deliver the Construction Loan Documents on or prior to the Construction Loan Deadline (provided such election is made prior to the date (if any) that the


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -60- Company and the Construction Loan Lender execute and deliver the Construction Loan Documents ); (d) Contribution Agreement Default. The election of DP Member to dissolve the Company if Tejon Industrial Corp. breaches its obligation to contribute the Property to the Company under the Contribution Agreement. (e) Sale of Assets.

The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.

During such winding up process, the Net Profits, Net Losses and Cash Flow distributions shall continue to be shared by the Members in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to Section 12.03, the assets shall be liquidated as promptly as consistent with obtaining a fair value therefor, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent available, shall be applied and distributed by the Company on or before the end of the taxable year of such Liquidation or, if later, within ninety (90) days after such Liquidation, in the following order: (a) Creditors. First, to creditors of the Company (including Members who are creditors) in the order of priority as provided by law; (b) Reserves. Second, to establishing any reserves which the Administrative Member reasonably determines are necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company; and (c) Remaining Amounts. Thereafter, to the Members in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.01.

(a) Binding Arbitration. Any Member desiring to bring any action under this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement shall give written notice to the other Member (the "Arbitration Notice"), which notice shall state with particularity the nature of the dispute and the demand for relief, making specific reference by Section and title, if applicable, of the provisions of this Agreement or the Contribution Agreement pertaining to the dispute. This arbitration provision and its validity, construction, and performance shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the "FAA") and cases decided thereunder and, to the extent relevant, the laws of the State of California. Further, the terms and procedures governing the enforcement of this Section 13.18 shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the FAA, and not individual state laws regarding enforcement of arbitration agreements. (b) Selection of Arbitrator. The Members shall endeavor to agree, within thirty (30) days of the Arbitration Notice, upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The arbitrator shall be a single former judge of the Superior Court or the Court of Appeal of the State of California or a member in good standing with the California State Bar currently employed by or associated with the office of JAMS/ENDISPUTE ("JAMS") located in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrator shall have no direct or indirect social, political or business relationship of any sort with either of the Members, their respective legal counsel or any other Person materially involved with the Project. If the Members cannot agree upon the arbitrator within such thirty (30)-day period, then JAMS, in its sole discretion, shall provide a list of three (3) arbitrators with the qualifications set forth above. Within ten (10) days of JAMS providing the above-described list, each Member shall be entitled to strike one (1) name from the list and so notify JAMS. JAMS, in its sole discretion, thereafter shall select as arbitrator any one (1) of the persons remaining on the list, and the person so selected shall thereafter serve as arbitrator. If for any reason JAMS is unable or unwilling to make such an appointment, then any Member may apply to the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County of Los Angeles for appointment of any former judge of the Superior Court or the Court of Appeal of the State of California to serve as arbitrator. The appointment of an arbitrator, whether by JAMS or by the Superior Court pursuant to the foregoing, shall be made, and the arbitrator shall serve, without further objection from any Member, except on the ground of conflict of interest, if any, pursuant to the same rules that would apply if the arbitrator was serving as an active member of the Superior Court or Court of Appeal.


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -67- (c) Location of Proceeding. The proceeding shall take place at a City of Los Angeles office of JAMS and shall be conducted pursuant to the provisions of JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures in effect on the date of the Arbitration Notice (the "Rules"); provided that in all events the rules of evidence in such proceeding shall be governed by the California Evidence Code. Discovery between the parties prior to the arbitration hearing shall be limited to the mutual exchange of relevant documents. Interrogatories and request for admissions shall not be allowed under any circumstance. Depositions of witnesses shall not be permitted, unless it is shown that the witness will be otherwise unavailable and it is necessary to preserve his or her testimony for the hearing. The arbitrator shall have the authority set forth in Section 1282.6 of the California Code of Civil Procedure to issue subpoenas requiring the attendance at the hearing of witnesses, and to issue subpoenas duces tecum for the production at the hearing of books, records, documents and other evidence. (d) Resolution of Dispute. Except as otherwise provided in Section 13.18(c), the arbitrator shall apply Delaware law in resolving the dispute. In resolving the dispute, the arbitrator shall apply the pertinent provisions of this Agreement without departure therefrom in any respect, and the arbitrator shall not have the power to change any of the provisions of the Agreement. The arbitrator shall try all of the issues including, without limitation, any issues that may be raised concerning whether the dispute is subject to the provisions of this Section 13.18 and any and all other issues, whether of fact or of law, and shall hear and decide all motions and matters of any kind. The arbitrator shall not be required to prepare a written statement of decision as to any interlocutory decision, but at the conclusion of the arbitration shall prepare a written statement of decision thereon which shall be final and binding upon the parties, and upon which judgment may be entered in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Any interlocutory decisions by the arbitrator likewise shall be final and binding, except that the arbitrator shall have the power to reconsider such decisions for good cause shown. The Members shall not have the right to appeal the arbitration award consistent with the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure in effect at the time or any similar successor rules. Subject to the limitations in this Section 13.18, the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any equitable and legal remedies that would be available in a judicial proceeding. The arbitrator may award interim and final injunctive relief and other remedies, but may not award punitive, exemplary, treble or other enhanced damages. The arbitrator shall have no power or authority to issue any award or determination that would amend or modify this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party shall be permitted to seek a temporary restraining order or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction with regard to any controversy, dispute or claim between them relating to or arising out of this Agreement, a breach of this Agreement or the termination of the Administrative Member, where such relief is appropriate; provided that other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 13.18. Each Member shall use reasonable efforts to expedite the arbitration process, and each Member shall have the right to be represented by counsel. (e) Award of Fees. Subject to the obligation of the arbitrator to award such fees and expenses to the prevailing party as provided in Section 13.07, until the arbitrator issues his or her final statement of decision, each Member shall pay the fees


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt -68- and expenses of its attorneys and experts in connection with the adjudication and one-half of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator; provided, however, that the arbitrator shall have the same power as a judge pursuant to the California Code of Civil Procedure to award sanctions with reference to interlocutory matters.

EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY AN ARBITRATOR AS PROVIDED ABOVE BUT THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE EVEN IF, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION CANNOT BE TRIED BY SUCH ARBITRATOR. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH MEMBER FURTHER AGREES THAT EACH SUCH MEMBER'S RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW BY OPERATION OF THE FOREGOING AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT OR ANY PROVISION OF EITHER SUCH AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS, OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT. _____________ INITIALS OF TEJON _____________ INITIALS OF DP (g) Survivability.

EACH MEMBER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING REMEDIES ARE FAIR AND REASONABLE AND HAVE BEEN ENTERED INTO WITH THE INFORMED CONSENT OF EACH MEMBER. EACH MEMBER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH THE COMPANY AND THE NON-DEFAULTING MEMBER MAY SUFFER IN CONNECTION WITH THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY OF THE DEFAULTS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THEREFORE, EACH MEMBER AGREES THAT THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE REASONABLY AND FAIRLY REFLECT THE DETRIMENT THAT THE COMPANY AND THE NON-DEFAULTING MEMBER WOULD SUFFER IN SUCH EVENT AND, IN LIGHT OF THE DIFFICULTY IN DETERMINING ACTUAL DAMAGES, REPRESENT A PRIOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE MEMBERS AS TO APPROPRIATE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. EACH MEMBER ALSO AGREES THAT THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY UNDER DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EACH MEMBER FURTHER COVENANTS NOT TO CONTEST THE VALIDITY OF THE REMEDIES SET FORTH ABOVE AS A PENALTY, FORFEITURE OR OTHERWISE IN ANY COURT OF LAW (AND/OR IN ANY ARBITRATION OR MEDIATION). 13.23 Force Majeure The time period for each Member to perform any obligation under this Agreement shall be extended for the time period such Member (the "Obligated Member") is unable to perform such obligation as a result of any Force Majeure Delay. The term "Force Majeure Delay" means any delay as a result of war, national emergency, strikes (other than strikes or labor disturbances limited in scope to primarily the employees of the Obligated Member or any Affiliate thereof), riot or civil unrest, utility failure, acts of God (excluding inclement weather) or

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Force Majeure Delay shall be deemed to exist as a result of (i) the Obligated Member's lack of funds (other than a temporary lack of funds resulting from any event totally outside the control of the Obligated Member described in the preceding sentence), or (ii) any delay solely caused by any act or omission of the Obligated Member or any Affiliate thereof, and in any event, the length of any Force Majeure Delay shall be reduced by (A) the time period that elapses after the tenth Business Day following the initial cause of the delay through the date the Obligated Member notifies the other Member in writing of the delay and the reason for the delay (if the Obligated Member has previously failed to provide such notice to the other Member on or before the tenth Business Day following the initial cause of the delay), or (B) the length of any delay caused by the Obligated Member's failure to promptly exercise and continue to exercise reasonable commercial efforts to remove or overcome such delay. All other delays from acts or events are explicitly excluded from Force Majeure Delays and shall not extend the time period for any Member to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement. 13.24 Corporate Transparency Act (a) Corporate Transparency Act Compliance. Subject to the following sentence, the Administrative Member will be responsible for causing the Company to comply with its obligations under the Corporate Transparency Act 31 U.S.C. § 5336, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time (collectively, the "CTA"). Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Administrative Member shall not be liable for failing to cause the Company to comply with the CTA to the extent such failure results from the breach by the other Member of any of its duties or obligations under this Section 13.24. (b) Reporting Officer. The Administrative Member is hereby designated as a "CTA Reporting Officer" (as defined in the CTA) with respect to the Company's duties under the CTA. (c) Company Applicant.

The Company may accept "FinCEN identifiers" from Members in lieu of such information to the extent the CTA Reporting Officer determines in its reasonable discretion that a FinCEN identifier is sufficient to comply with the CTA. Each Member shall notify the Company of any change in the information previously provided to the Company within fifteen (15) days of such change. Each Member who is not an individual further agrees to, within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Company, provide the Company all information and answer all questions reasonably determined by the CTA Reporting Officer to be necessary or advisable for the Company to determine its beneficial owners under the CTA. In addition to any other limitations on the transfer of financial rights, governance rights or membership interests, no such transfer shall be valid until the transferee has provided the CTA Reporting Officer the CTA Data concerning such person. (e) Substantial Control Data. Each Member will also provide to the CTA Reporting Officer any information or documents that may be required to reasonably determine whether such Member or any other person by virtue of the person's direct or indirect ownership, influence, authority, control, or otherwise with respect to such Member has "substantial control" over the Company including, without limitation, by (i) serving as a senior officer of the Company, (ii) having authority over the appointment or removal of any senior officer or the Administrative Member of the Company, (iii) having any direction, determination, or decision power over, or substantial influence over, important matters affecting the Company, including, without limitation, (1) the nature, scope, and attributes of the business of the Company, including the sale, lease, mortgage, or other transfer of any principal assets of the Company; (2) the reorganization, dissolution, or merger of the Company; (3) major expenditures or investments, issuances of any equity, incurrence of any significant debt or approval of the operating budget of the Company; (4) the selection or termination of business lines or ventures, or geographic focus, of the Company; (5) compensation schemes and incentive programs for senior officers of the Company; (6) the entry into or termination, or the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of significant contracts of the Company; and (7) amendments of any substantial governance documents of the Company, including the articles of organization or similar formation documents, bylaws and significant policies or procedures of the Company; and (iv) any other form of substantial control over the Company.

The Offer Notice shall constitute a revocable offer by the Offeror to sell the Offered Interest to the other Member on the terms and conditions set forth in this Exhibit "I." (b) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offer Notice, the non-transferring Member shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect to purchase the entire Offered Interest for the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice by delivering written notice of such election (the "Purchase Election") to the Offeror. The failure of non-transferring Member to submit a written notice within such thirty (30) day period shall constitute an irrevocable rejection of the offer made by the Offeror to sell the Offered Interest to the non-transferring Member. (c) If the non-transferring Member timely elects to purchase the entire Offered Interest prior to the Offeror's written revocation of the offer, then the Offered Interest shall be sold to the non-transferring Member upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice including, without limitation, price, terms of payment and closing date; provided, however, if the terms of the proposed transfer include the payment by the Offeror of a commission, then the purchase price shall be reduced by the amount of such commission. The Offeror and the non- transferring Member shall execute such documents and instruments and make such deliveries as may be reasonably required to consummate the transfer. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Exhibit "I," the Offeror shall make the representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.07 of the Agreement at the closing for the purchase and sale of the Offered Interest. (d) If the non-transferring Member does not timely elect to purchase the entire Offered Interest (or if the non-transferring Member breaches its obligation to purchase the entire Offered Interest), then the Offeror may transfer the entire Offered Interest to the proposed transferee described in the Offer Notice, provided such transfer (i) is completed within ninety (90) days after the expiration of the non-transferring Member's right to purchase the Offered Interest (or within 90 days following the breach by the non-transferring Member of its obligation to purchase the entire Offered Interest, if applicable), (ii) is made at the price and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Offeror than as described in the Offer Notice, (iii) would not constitute a default or breach by the Company under any loan agreement or document to which the Company is a party (unless the lender consents to such transfer), and (iv) the requirements of Section 6.03 are met. If the Offered Interest is not so transferred within such ninety (90)-day


 
4872-2883-8610.14 373745.00010/10-22-24/pdo/agt EXHIBIT "I" -2- period, then the Offeror shall be required to comply again with the provisions of this Exhibit "I" prior to voluntarily transferring, assigning, conveying, selling or otherwise disposing of the Offered Interest to any Person (except for any transfer to any Person permitted by Sections 6.02(a), (b), (c) and (d) above). In addition, in the event of a breach by the non- transferring Member of its obligation to purchase, such non-transferring Member shall not have a right to elect to purchase an Offered Interest with respect to a transfer of an Interest which is consummated within one (1) year after such breach. (e) If any transferee purchases an Interest pursuant to the procedure described in this Exhibit "I," then such transferee shall be admitted to the Company as a substituted member upon the closing of such purchase and sale and the satisfaction of the requirements of Section 6.03.

[1]
In determining the classification of cash inflows and outflows related to water asset activity, the Company’s practices are supported by ASC Topic 230-10-45-22, which provides that certain cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows, whereby appropriate classification depends on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the transaction. Also, at the 2006 American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items.

Given the nature of our water assets and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of water assets purchased based on the timing of the sale of the water. Water purchased in prior periods that was classified as investing was sold for $1.3 million in 2023, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $0.5 million related to the water purchased in prior periods is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the current period. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to water asset transactions that meet this fact pattern.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The summarized information of Tejon Ranch Co. and its subsidiaries (the Company, TRC or Tejon), provided pursuant to Part I, Item 1 of Form 10-Q, is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of its consolidated financial statements.
The periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 include the consolidation of CFL’s statements of operations within the resort/residential real estate development segment, statements of changes in equity, and statements of cash flows. The Company’s September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 balance sheets are presented on a consolidated basis, including the consolidation of CFL.
The Company has identified five reportable segments: commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, mineral resources, farming, and ranch operations. Information for the Company’s reportable segments is presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company uses segment profit or loss and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures as the primary measures of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources.
The results of the period reported herein are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s agricultural activities, water activities, timing of real estate sales and leasing activities. Historically, the Company’s largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.
For further information and a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Financial Instruments
Certain financial instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost or amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value due to their short-term and highly liquid nature.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, security deposits held for customers, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities. The fair value of the revolving line of credit also approximates its carrying value, as the interest rate is variable and approximates prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relates to funds held in escrow. The Company had $500,000 of restricted cash as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Climate Change Related Update by SEC Effective in Future Periods
Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-05, "Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations." This ASU addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture's separate financial statements. The pronouncement requires a joint venture to initially measure contributions at fair value upon formation, which is more relevant than the carrying amounts of the contributed net assets and would reduce equity method basis differences. The ASU is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". This ASU requires quarterly disclosure of segment expenses if they are (i) significant to the segment, (ii) regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and (iii) included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. In addition, this ASU requires an annual disclosure of the CODM’s title and a description of how the CODM uses the segment’s profit/loss measure to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. This ASU will be effective for the Company's annual report on Form 10-K beginning with the year ending December 31, 2024, and for subsequent quarterly and annual reports. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". This ASU requires public business entities to disclose a tabular rate reconciliation of both percentages and reporting currency amounts on an annual basis. The ASU also requires disclosure of information on the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of Rules to Enhance and Standardize Climate-related Disclosures for Investors
On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports.
On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rules pending completion of judicial review of the petitions challenging the final rules. The order does not amend the compliance dates contemplated by the final rules, which are applicable to the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of these requirements on our financial statement disclosures.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Basic net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during reporting periods. Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding assuming the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options, warrants to purchase common stock, and the vesting of restricted stock grants per ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”

MARKETABLE SECURITIES MARKETABLE SECURITIES
ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” requires that an enterprise classify all debt securities as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. The Company has elected to classify its securities as available-for-sale and therefore is required to adjust securities to fair value at each reporting date. All costs and both realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at:

The Company uses an allowance approach when recognizing credit loss for available-for-sale debt securities, measured as the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and the amount expected to be collected over the security's lifetime. Under this approach, at each reporting date, the Company records impairment related to credit losses through earnings offset with an allowance for credit losses, or ACL. At September 30, 2024, the Company has not recorded any credit losses.
As of September 30, 2024, the fair market value of investment securities was $20,000 above their cost basis. The Company’s gross unrealized holding gains equaled $21,000 and gross unrealized holding losses equaled $1,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected an increase in market value of $46,000, including estimated taxes of $13,000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a decline in market value of $40,000, including estimated taxes of $11,000.
The Company elected to exclude applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities, and separately present the accrued interest receivable balance. The accrued interest receivables balance totaled $114,000 as of September 30, 2024 and was included within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable, as an allowance on possible uncollectible accrued interest is not warranted.
U.S. Treasury and agency notes
The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury and agency notes at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were caused by relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase and not changes in credit quality. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Corporate notes
The unrealized losses on corporate notes are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]  
LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS
Long-term water assets consist of water and water contracts held for future use or sale. The water is held at cost, which includes the price paid for the water and the cost to pump and deliver the water from the California aqueduct into the water bank. Water is currently held in a water bank on Company land in southern Kern County and by TCWD in Kern County Water Banks.
The Company has secured SWP entitlements under long-term SWP water contracts within the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District and the Dudley-Ridge Water District, totaling 3,444 acre-feet of SWP entitlement annually, subject to SWP allocations. These contracts extend through 2035 and have been transferred to AVEK for the Company's use in the Antelope Valley. In 2013, the Company acquired a contract to purchase water that obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water each year from the Nickel Family, LLC, or Nickel, a California limited liability company that is located in Kern County.
The initial term of the water purchase agreement with Nickel runs to 2044 and includes a Company option to extend the contract for an additional 35 years. The purchase cost of water in 2024 is $957 per acre-foot. The purchase cost is subject to annual cost increases based on the greater of the Consumer Price Index or 3%.
The water purchased above will ultimately be used in the development of the Company’s land for commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, and farming. Interim uses may include the sale of portions of this water to third-party users on an annual basis until this water is fully allocated to Company uses, as just described.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]  
STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS
The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the making of awards to employees based upon a service condition or through the achievement of performance-related objectives. The Company has issued three types of stock grant awards under these plans: restricted stock with service condition vesting; performance share grants that only vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions, such as corporate cash flow goals or share price, or Performance Condition Grants; and performance share grants that include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance measures, or Performance Milestone Grants. Performance Condition Grants with market-based conditions are based on the achievement of a target share price. The share price used to calculate the grant date fair value for market-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Failure to achieve the target share price will result in the forfeiture of shares. Forfeiture of share awards with service conditions or performance-based restrictions will result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions does not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

The unamortized cost associated with unvested stock grants and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized as of September 30, 2024 were $4,196,000 and 14 months, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock with time-based vesting features is based upon the Company’s share price on the date of grant and is expensed over the service period. Fair value of performance grants that cliff vest based on the achievement of performance conditions is based on the share price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant and is expensed over the performance period if it is probable that the award will vest. This fair value is expensed over the service period applicable to these grants. For performance grants that contain a range of shares from zero to maximum, the Company determines, based on historic and projected results, the probability of (1) achieving the performance objective, and (2) the level of achievement. Based on this information, the Company determines the number of awards probable of vesting and expenses the grant date fair value of such awards over the service period related to these grants. Because the ultimate vesting of all performance grants is tied to the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates whether the performance condition will be met and over what period of time. Ultimately, the Company adjusts compensation cost according to the actual outcome of the performance condition.

Cash-Settled Awards
Time-Based Cash-Settled Awards

On March 13, 2024, the Company granted 75,117 time-based cash-settled awards to the Chief Executive Officer that vest on December 31, 2024. These awards are classified as liabilities, measured at fair value on the date of grant, and remeasured at each reporting date, based on the Company’s share price. Compensation cost is amortized on a straight-line method over the remaining vesting period. As of September 30, 2024, $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized on outstanding cash-settled awards over the remaining vesting period based on fair value as of September 30, 2024.
Performance-Based Cash-Settled Awards
On March 13, 2024, the Company granted 14,867 performance condition grants, with market-based conditions, that are cash-settled awards to the Chief Executive Officer. These awards are classified as liabilities, measured at fair value on the date of grant, and remeasured at each reporting date based on a Monte Carlo model. Compensation cost is recognized in proportion to the completed requisite service period through December 31, 2024. The amount of awards earned ranges between 0% and 200% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the performance period commencing on the grant date and ending on the last day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, and settled in cash. The performance conditions of the award are achieved at a target share price of $17.58. As of September 30, 2024, $0.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized on outstanding performance-based cash-settled awards over the remaining performance period based on the fair value as of September 30, 2024.
On March 13, 2024, the Company granted 120,188 performance milestone cash-settled awards to the Chief Executive Officer. These awards are classified as liabilities, measured at fair value on the date of grant, and remeasured at each reporting date, based on the Company’s share price. Compensation cost is recognized based on an estimate of the probability of achieving the performance objective at the associated level of achievement in proportion to the completed requisite service period through December 31, 2024. The amount of awards earned for each milestone is either 0% or 100% of the target amount depending upon performance achieved over the performance period commencing on the grant date and ending on the last day of the Company’s 2024 fiscal year, and settled in cash. The performance conditions of the award are achieved based on established milestones. If such milestones are not met or become not probable of being met during the performance period, no compensation cost is recognized and any previously recognized compensation cost is reversed. As of September 30, 2024, $0.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost is expected to be recognized on outstanding performance-based cash-settled awards over the remaining performance period based on the fair value and the estimated probability of achievement as of September 30, 2024.

INCOME TAXES INCOME TAXES
The Company’s provision for income taxes as of September 30, 2024 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s income tax benefit was $286,000 compared to income tax expense of $3,619,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Effective tax rates were 14% and 68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had income taxes receivable of $1,814,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expense.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was above statutory tax rates as a result of permanent differences related to Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) limitations. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Water Contracts
The Company has secured water contracts that are encumbered by the Company's land. These water contracts require minimum annual payments, for which $12,495,000 was paid as of September 30, 2024. These water contract payments consist of SWP contracts with WRMWSD, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin, Dudley-Ridge, and the Nickel water contract. The SWP contracts run through 2035 and the Nickel water contract runs through 2044, with an option to extend an additional 35 years. Contractual obligations for future water payments were $288,905,000 as of September 30, 2024.
Contracts
The Company exited a consulting contract during the second quarter of 2014 related to the Grapevine Development, or Grapevine project, and is obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of its successful receipt of litigated project entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after litigated entitlements have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fee will not be determined until the future payment dates. As of September 30, 2024, the Company believes the net savings resulting from exiting the contract during this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.
Community Facilities Districts
TRPFFA is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. For the development of TRCC, TRPFFA has created two CFDs: the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $19,540,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $95,660,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. As of September 30, 2024, the TRCC-East CFD has approximately $18,605,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA that can be sold in the future.
As a landowner in each CFD, the Company is obligated to pay its share of the special taxes assessed each year. The secured lands include both the TRCC-West and TRCC-East developments. Proceeds from the sale of West CFD bonds went to reimburse the Company for public infrastructure costs related to the TRCC-West development. As of September 30, 2024, there were no additional improvement funds remaining from the West CFD bonds. As of September 30, 2024, there are $32,284,000 of additional improvement funds remaining within the East CFD bonds for reimbursement of public infrastructure costs during future years. On July 25, 2024, TRPFFA sold bonds which will provide approximately $25,000,000 of improvement funds for the reimbursement of public infrastructure costs at TRCC-East. On October 16, 2024, the Company received $7,284,000 reimbursement proceeds from the East CFD funds, reducing the amount of funds remaining to $25,000,000. During fiscal year 2024, the Company expects to pay approximately $3,282,000 in special taxes. As development continues to occur at TRCC, new owners of land and new lease tenants, through triple net leases, will bear an increasing portion of the assessed special tax. This amount could change in the future, based on the amount of bonds outstanding and the amount of taxes paid by others. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased is not determinable at this time, because it is based on the current tax rate and assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company was not required to recognize an obligation on September 30, 2024.
Centennial
On April 30, 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors granted final entitlement approval for the Centennial project. On May 15, 2019, Climate Resolve filed an action in Los Angeles Superior Court (the Climate Resolve Action), pursuant to CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law, against the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (collectively, LA County) concerning LA County’s granting of approvals for the Centennial project, including certification of the final EIR and related findings (Centennial EIR); approval of associated general plan amendments; adoption of associated zoning; adoption of the Centennial Specific Plan; approval of a subdivision map for financing purposes; and adoption of a development agreement, among other approvals (collectively, the Centennial Approvals). Separately, on May 28, 2019, the CBD and the CNPS filed an action in Los Angeles County Superior Court (the CBD/CNPS Action) against LA County; like the Climate Resolve Action, the CBD/CNPS Action also challenges the Centennial Approvals. The Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Tejon Ranchcorp, and CFL are named as real parties-in-interest in both the Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action.
The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action collectively allege that LA County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law. The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action have been deemed “related” and, while not consolidated under court rules or the rules of civil procedure, the Los Angeles Superior Court judge (or Court) trying both cases determined during early trial management conferences to hold one set of hearings and issue one ruling on the matters as part of the adjudication. The Climate Resolve Action and CBD/CNPS Action seek to invalidate the Centennial Approvals and require LA County to revise the environmental documentation related to the Centennial project. The Court held three hearings for the CBD/CNPS Action and Climate Resolve Action on September 30, 2020, November 13, 2020, and January 8, 2021.
On April 5, 2021, the Court issued its decision denying the petition for writ of mandate by CBD/CNPS and granting the petition for writ of mandate filed by Climate Resolve. In granting Climate Resolve’s petition, the Court found three specific areas where the EIR for the project was lacking. The Court ruled that California’s Cap-and-Trade Program cannot be used as a compliance pathway for mitigating GHG impacts for the project and therefore further ruled that additional analysis will be required related to all feasible mitigation of GHG impacts. The Court also found that the EIR must provide additional analysis and explanation of how wildland fire risk on lands outside of the project site, posed by on-site ignition sources, is mitigated to less than significant. On April 19, 2021, CBD filed a motion for reconsideration with the Court on the denial of their petition for writ of mandate to be granted prevailing party status in its case based on the Court's conclusions in the Climate Resolve Action (“Motion for Reconsideration”). The hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration originally scheduled for August 13, 2021 was rescheduled to December 1, 2021 and further rescheduled as noted below.
On November 30, 2021, the Company, together with Ranchcorp and CFL, entered into a Settlement Agreement with Climate Resolve. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed as stated and obligated in the Settlement Agreement: (1) to make Centennial a net zero GHG emissions project through various on-site and off-site measures including, but not limited to, installing electric vehicle chargers and establishing and funding incentive programs for the purchase of electric vehicles; (2) to fund certain on-site and off-site fire protection and prevention measures; and (3) to provide annual public reports and create an organization to monitor progress towards these commitments. The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Settlement Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement. In exchange, Climate Resolve filed a request for dismissal of the Climate Resolve Action with prejudice from the Court. On December 3, 2021, the Court granted and entered Climate Resolve’s dismissal with prejudice concluding the Climate Resolve Action. On December 1, 2021, the Court continued CBD/CNPS Motion for Reconsideration to January 14, 2022, directing CBD/CNPS to evaluate the Settlement Agreement reached in the Climate Resolve Action to address issues surrounding remedies should CBD be granted prevailing party status in its case based on the Court’s conclusions in the Climate Resolve Action, and to evaluate the potential to settle or otherwise address CBD’s objections to the Centennial project. To that end, the Company met and conferred twice on January 4, 2022 and January 20, 2022. On January 14, 2022, the Court heard CBD/CNPS' Motion for Reconsideration and issued its decision granting CBD/CNPS prevailing party status based on the Court’s conclusions in the Climate Resolve Action.
The Court set a tentative hearing date of February 25, 2022 concerning the entry of final judgment and awarding of appropriate remedies, which was continued several times in 2022 either on the Court's own motion or at the request of the parties and was ultimately set for hearing on October 26, 2022. At the October 26th hearing, the Court agreed to: (a) hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration as to the successful challenges Climate Resolve prevailed upon within the Climate Resolve Action and ordered the Parties to appear on December 14, 2022 to hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration and (b) rule on the entry of final judgment and setting of remedies at a February 17, 2023 hearing date.
At the December 14, 2022 hearing, the Court denied the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration (finding that the Company’s motion failed to support the statutory elements necessary to prevail on such motion). At the February 17, 2023 hearing, the Court took into submission the Parties’ legal briefs and oral arguments. On March 22, 2023, the Court decided in favor of CBD/CNPS when the Judge signed CBD/CNPS’s proposed form of judgment, which included a full rescission of the Centennial project approvals previously issued by Los Angeles County. On May 26, 2023, the Company filed a Notice of Appeal with the Superior Court, thereby appealing the Superior Court’s decision to the Second District of the California Court of Appeal. On June 27, 2023, CBD/CNPS cross-appealed the Superior Court’s ruling. Briefing at the Court of Appeal is complete and the parties are awaiting a hearing date. During the appeal process the Superior Court’s order of the rescission of project approvals have been placed on hold.
As the Company’s options to reinstate the project approvals remain pending, the monetary value of any adverse decision, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.
Proceedings Incidental to Business
From time to time, the Company is involved in other proceedings incidental to its business, including actions relating to employee claims, real estate disputes, contractor disputes and grievance hearings before labor regulatory agencies.
The outcome of these other proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these other proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, either individually or in the aggregate.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
RETIREMENT PLANS RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan, or Benefit Plan, that covers eligible employees hired prior to February 1, 2007. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s five-year final average salary. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributable to service both to date and expected to be provided in the future. The Company funds the plan in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In April 2017, the Company froze the Benefit Plan as it relates to future benefit accruals for participants. The Company expects to contribute $165,000 to the Benefit Plan in 2024.
Benefit Plan assets consist of equity, debt and short-term money market investment funds. The Benefit Plan’s current investment policy changed during the third quarter of 2018. The policy's strategy seeks to minimize the volatility of the funding ratio. This objective will result in a prescribed asset mix between "return seeking" assets (e.g., stocks) and a bond portfolio (e.g., long duration bonds) according to a pre-determined customized investment strategy based on the Benefit Plan's funded status as the primary input. This path will be used as a reference point as to the mix of assets, which by design will de-emphasize the return seeking portion as the funded status improves. At September 30, 2024, the investment mixes were approximately at 99% debt and 1% money market funds. At December 31, 2023, the investment mixes were approximately 99% debt, and 1% money market funds. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the periodic pension cost is 4.85% in both 2024 and 2023. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 5.00% for both fiscal 2024 and 2023. The long-term rate of return on Benefit Plan assets is based on the historical returns within the plan and expectations for future returns.
Total pension and retirement earnings for the Benefit Plan was as follows:

The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP, to restore to executives designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors the full benefits under the pension plan that would otherwise be restricted by certain limitations now imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. In April 2017, the Company froze the SERP plan as it relates to the accrual of additional benefits.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
The Company maintains investments in joint ventures. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting, unless the venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and meets the requirements for consolidation. The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2024 was $34,429,000. The equity in the income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $7,611,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The unconsolidated joint ventures have not been consolidated as of September 30, 2024, because the Company does not control the investments. The Company’s current joint ventures are as follows:
Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC – TA/Petro is an unconsolidated joint venture with TravelCenters of America Inc. for the development and management of travel plazas and convenience stores. The Company has 50% voting rights and shares 60% of profit and losses in this joint venture. It houses multiple commercial eating establishments, as well as diesel and gasoline operations in TRCC. The Company does not control the investment due to it having only 50% voting rights, and because the partner in the joint venture is the managing partner and performs all of the day-to-day operations and has significant decision-making authority regarding key business components, such as fuel inventory and pricing at the facility. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $25,374,000 as of September 30, 2024.
Majestic Realty Co. – Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, is a privately-held developer and owner of industrial and commercial properties throughout the United States. The Company partnered with Majestic to form five active 50/50 joint ventures to acquire, develop, manage, and operate industrial real estate at TRCC. The partners have equal voting rights and equally share in the profit and loss of each joint venture. All outstanding debt attributed to our joint ventures with Majestic have met their respective debt covenants, and hence were not subject to an effective guarantee at September 30, 2024. For those investments in a deficit position, in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company would reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income.
On March 29, 2022, TRC-MRC 5 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of an approximately 446,400 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction of the building was completed in the fourth quarter of 2023, and the joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space. The joint venture refinanced the construction loan in February 2024 with a promissory note. The note matures on February 3, 2035, and had an outstanding balance of $52,984,000 as of September 30, 2024. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,441,000.
On March 25, 2021, TRC-MRC 4 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of a 629,274 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction of the building was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in March 2023 with a promissory note. The note matures on March 1, 2033, and had an outstanding balance of $61,144,000 as of September 30, 2024. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $6,106,000.
In November 2018, TRC-MRC 3, LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, leasing, and management of a 579,040 square foot industrial building on the Company's property at TRCC-East. TRC-MRC 3, LLC qualified as a VIE from inception, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary therefore it does not consolidate TRC-MRC 3, LLC in its financial statements. The construction of the building was completed in 2019, and the joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space to two tenants. In March 2019, the joint venture entered into a promissory note with a financial institution to finance the construction of the building. The note matures on May 1, 2030 and had an outstanding principal balance of $32,952,000 as of September 30, 2024. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $242,000 as of September 30, 2024.
In August 2016, the Company partnered with Majestic to form TRC-MRC 2, LLC to acquire, lease, and maintain a fully occupied warehouse at TRCC-West. The partnership acquired the 651,909 square foot building for $24,773,000, and was largely financed through a promissory note. The promissory note was refinanced on June 1, 2018 with a $25,240,000 promissory note. The note matures on July 3, 2028 and had an outstanding principal balance of $21,414,000 as of September 30, 2024. The building was 100% leased as of September 30, 2024. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $455,000.
In September 2016, TRC-MRC 1, LLC was formed to develop and operate an approximately 480,480 square foot industrial building at TRCC-East. The joint venture completed construction in 2017. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in December 2018 with a mortgage loan. The original balance of the mortgage loan was $25,030,000, of which $21,642,000 was outstanding as of September 30, 2024. Since inception of the joint venture, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,117,000.
TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC – This joint venture was formed in 2013 with Rockefeller Group Development Corporation, or Rockefeller to develop, own, and manage a net leasable 326,000 square foot outlet center on land at TRCC-East. At September 30, 2024, the Company’s equity investment balance in this joint venture was $8,813,000. The Company controls 50% of the voting interests of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC; thus, it does not control the joint venture by voting interest alone. The Company is the named managing member. The managing member’s responsibilities relate to the routine day-to-day activities of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC. However, all operating decisions during the development period and ongoing operations, including the setting and monitoring of the budget, leasing, marketing, financing, and selection of the contractor for any construction, are jointly made by both members of the joint venture. Therefore, the Company concluded that both members have significant participating rights that are sufficient to overcome the presumption of the Company controlling the joint venture through it being named the managing member. Therefore, the investment in TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC is being accounted for under the equity method. On August 16, 2023, the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture successfully extended the maturity date of its term note with a financial institution from May 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. In connection with the loan extension, the joint venture also reduced the outstanding amount by $6,000,000. As of September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance of the term note was $20,626,000. The Company and Rockefeller guarantee the performance of the debt.
Centennial Founders, LLC – CFL is a joint venture with TRI Pointe Homes to pursue the entitlement and development of land that the Company owns in Los Angeles County. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned 93.62% of CFL.
The Company’s investment balance in each of its unconsolidated joint ventures differs from its capital accounts in the respective joint ventures. The variance represents the difference between the cost basis of assets contributed by the Company and the agreed upon fair value of those assets.
Unaudited condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and condensed balance sheet information of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
Certain financial instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost or amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value due to their short-term and highly liquid nature.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, security deposits held for customers, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities. The fair value of the revolving line of credit also approximates its carrying value, as the interest rate is variable and approximates prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.
Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relates to funds held in escrow.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Climate Change Related Update by SEC Effective in Future Periods
New Accounting Pronouncements and Climate Change Related Update by SEC Effective in Future Periods
Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2023-05, "Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations." This ASU addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture's separate financial statements. The pronouncement requires a joint venture to initially measure contributions at fair value upon formation, which is more relevant than the carrying amounts of the contributed net assets and would reduce equity method basis differences. The ASU is effective prospectively for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. This pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Segment Reporting
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, "Segment Reporting - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures". This ASU requires quarterly disclosure of segment expenses if they are (i) significant to the segment, (ii) regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and (iii) included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. In addition, this ASU requires an annual disclosure of the CODM’s title and a description of how the CODM uses the segment’s profit/loss measure to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. This ASU will be effective for the Company's annual report on Form 10-K beginning with the year ending December 31, 2024, and for subsequent quarterly and annual reports. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". This ASU requires public business entities to disclose a tabular rate reconciliation of both percentages and reporting currency amounts on an annual basis. The ASU also requires disclosure of information on the amount of income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Adoption of Rules to Enhance and Standardize Climate-related Disclosures for Investors
On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to require registrants to disclose certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports.
On April 4, 2024, the SEC issued an order staying the final rules pending completion of judicial review of the petitions challenging the final rules. The order does not amend the compliance dates contemplated by the final rules, which are applicable to the Company for fiscal years beginning with the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2027. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of these requirements on our financial statement disclosures.
