Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 2 of 6

The Parties
1. Wilderness Training & Consulting, LLC (“WTC”), is an Oregon limited liability

company with is principal place of business in Salem, Oregon. The sole member of WTC is

WTCSL, LLC, a limited liability company with its principal place of business in Salem, Oregon.

No member of WTCSL, LLC (or its sub-members, for those members that are limited liability

companies) are citizens of Colorado.

2. Dr. Kenneth Huey was employed as the executive director of Kokua Recovery, a

residential treatment center for boys with substance use disorders in Greeley, Colorado, from

approximately May 2017 until July 2019. Kokua Recovery is a wholly owned subsidiary of

Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC (“RMP”), of which WTC is the sole manager. Upon

information and belief, Dr. Huey is a resident of and citizen of Colorado.

3. Because none of the members of WTC or its non-corporate direct and indirect

owners are residents of Colorado, complete diversity between the parties exists. See Johnson v.

Columbia Properties Anchorage, LP, 437 F.3d 894, 899 (9th Cir. 2006) (“[A]n LLC is a citizen

of every state of which its owners/members are citizens.”).

Jurisdiction and Venue


4. There is complete diversity of citizenship between the parties, and more than
$75,000, exclusive of interest and costs, is at stake in this controversy. Accordingly, this Court

has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a)(1).

5. Petitioner files this petition under the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 9, and

Section 31.11(h) of the Rocky Mountain Pathways LLC Operating Agreement.

6. Pursuant to 9 U.S.C. § 9, venue is proper in this District and Division because the
parties agreed by contract that a proceeding to confirm an arbitration award shall be in courts

located in Multnomah County, Oregon, and the arbitration awards were entered in Portland,

Oregon.

Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 3 of 6

Background
7. On or about May 8, 2017, Dr. Huey and WTC entered into an agreement entitled

“Operating Agreement of Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC” (“Operating Agreement”) (attached

as Exhibit 1).

8. Both WTC and Dr. Huey ostensibly performed under the Operating Agreement,

creating and managing Kokua Recovery. Dr. Huey was Kokua’s executive director and the most

senior manager, responsible for obtaining and maintaining necessary permits, recruiting and

hiring staff, developing clinical programming, and supervising all staff and students. After more

than a year of preparations, Kokua began accepting students in October 2018.

9. In 2019, WTC became aware of several instances of troubling conduct from

Dr. Huey. On July 3, 2019, the Colorado Department of Human Services (“CDHS”) issued a

Report of Investigation (“ROI”) outlining eleven violations it had observed during its site visit to

Kokua.

10. On or about July 30, 2019, RMP terminated Dr. Huey’s employment at Kokua.

The Arbitration
11. Section 31.11 of the Operating Agreement provides that Dr. Huey and WTC will

settle any disputes arising with respect to the terms of the Operating Agreement, including any
claim alleging breach of the Operating Agreement, through mandatory arbitration provided by

the Arbitration Service of Portland (“ASP”) in Portland, Oregon.

12. On November 12, 2019, pursuant to ASP procedures and pursuant to the terms of

the Operating Agreement, WTC filed a Statement of Claim with ASP against Dr. Huey and RMP

seeking the judicial dissolution of RMP.


13. Pursuant to ASP Rule 6, the parties submitted to the ASP rankings from a

proposed list of arbitrators, and by letter dated December 17, 2019, ASP informed the parties that

Hon. Richard Baldwin (ret.), Susan Felstiner, and Frank Langfitt were appointed as arbitrators,

with Judge Baldwin designated as Chief Arbitrator. No party objected to this panel within the

time period specified in the ASP rules.

14. On January 14, 2020, WTC voluntarily dismissed its claims against Dr. Huey and

RMP.

15. On January 22, 2020, Dr. Huey filed his own Statement of Claim with ASP

against WTC, alleging breach of the Operating Agreement and breach of WTC’s fiduciary

duties. 1 Dr. Huey’s Statement of Claim did not plead a specific amount of damages, but at the

arbitration Dr. Huey sought $218,504 in lost wages, $2,413,000 in lost profits, and an additional

unspecified amount of punitive damages.

16. The parties engaged in discovery, including thousands of pages of document

production and several depositions. Although WTC attempted to limit the cost of discovery,

serving only 16 Requests for Production (“RFPs”), 10 Requests for Admission (“RFAs”), and

taking two depositions, Dr. Huey issued 78 RFPs, 16 RFAs, and served a corporate deposition

notice with 68 topics.

17. Through agreement of the parties, the arbitrators originally scheduled the

arbitration hearing to take place on May 18-19, 2020. The original hearing date was moved to

June 1-2, 2020, upon Dr. Huey’s request. That June setting was moved to August 11-13, 2020

due to WTC’s request. The August setting was moved to October 7-9, 2020 at Dr. Huey’s

request.

18. On October 7-9, 2020, the parties held an arbitration hearing by video conference

in Portland, Oregon. Both parties presented opening statements, witnesses (who were subject to

1
Although RMP was named as a Respondent by WTC’s original November 2019
Statement of Claim, WTC dismissed all claims against RMP on January 14, 2020. Dr. Huey did
not allege any claims against RMP in his separate Statement of Claim dated January 22, 2020.
Thus, although the arbitration case caption lists “Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC, an Oregon
Limited Liability Company” as a Respondent, it was not a party to the arbitration proceeding that
resulted in the award at issue, nor is it a party to these proceedings.

cross-examination), and documentary evidence. Except for sustaining some of Dr. Huey’s

objections to certain of WTC’s exhibits, the Chief Arbitrator admitted all exhibits offered by the

parties. The parties stipulated to written closing statements, which they submitted on

October 16, 2020.

19. On November 5, 2020, after the close of the arbitration hearing, the arbitration

panel issued a Preliminary Award denying Dr. Huey’s claims in their entirety (attached to this

filing as Exhibit 2).

20. Having obtained complete relief in its favor, WTC petitioned the arbitration panel

for fees and costs pursuant to Section 31.12 of the Operating Agreement. Dr. Huey filed

objections to the fee petition.

21. The arbitration panel issued a Supplemental Award ruling on WTC’s petition for

attorneys fees and costs, awarding WTC $540,757 in attorneys’ fees and $124,497 in costs. The

Supplemental Award is attached to this filing as Exhibit 3. The arbitration panel also issued a

Money Award as a Final Award, awarding WTC a total amount of $665,254, with simple interest

at the rate of 9% per annum on the amount of the award from the date of award until paid. The

Money Award is attached to this filing as Exhibit 4. Both the Supplemental Award and Money

Award are dated January 12, 2021, and sent via email to the parties on January 14, 2021.

22. No party requested a correction of the Preliminary Award, Supplemental Award,

or Money Award. Pursuant to ASP Rule 36, the Money Award became final for purposes of

confirming the award in court on or about January 25, 2021.

23. The Money Award is in all respects proper, and there are no legitimate grounds

for Respondent to contest this Money Award. Accordingly, WTC is entitled to an order

confirming the Money Award and entry of judgment thereon.

24. WTC has incurred additional attorney fees to prepare this petition, in the

approximate amount to date of $8,500.

Prayer for Relief


WTC respectfully requests that this Court:

A. Enter an order confirming the Final Award in all respects, as authorized by Section 9

of the Federal Arbitration Act;

B. Enter a judgment against Dr. Huey and in favor of WTC that conforms to the Final

Award, including appropriate post-Money Award and pre-judgment interest, and

appropriate post-judgment interest;

C. Award WTC its costs, disbursements, and attorney fees incurred in this proceeding

pursuant to Section 31.12 of the Operating Agreement;

D. Grant such other relief as the Court deems just and proper.

that purpose. The Company will not conduct or promote any other business.

3.2 General Powers. Subject to the Act, the Company may have and exercise all powers and do
every act not inconsistent with law which is necessary or convenient to promote and effect
any and all of the purposes for which the Company is organized.

SECTION 4 MANAGEMENT AND MANAGEMENT RIGHTS OF MANAGERS

4.1 Management. The Company is a manager-managed limited liability company.

4.2 Rights of Managers. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any matter relating to
the business of the Company will be exclusively decided by a Majority of Managers,
including but not limited to the following matters:

(a) the amendment of Schedule 2.1 in accordance with Section 2.2 without the consent of
the Members;

(b) the making of interim Distributions under Section 11.2; and

(c) the redemption of Units, if the redemption is required by this Agreement.

4.3 Designation and Removal. A Manager must be designated, appointed, elected, removed, or
replaced by a vote, approval, or consent of a Majority of Units. A Manager holds office until
a successor has been elected and qualified, unless the Manager sooner resigns or is removed.

4.4 Compensation of Managers. The compensation of any Manager may be set from time to
time by a vote of a Super Majority of Units. The Company will reimburse a Manager for all
reasonable expenses properly incurred in connection with the performance of such Manager’s
duties.

4.5 Meeting of Managers. The Managers may hold regular or special meetings in or out of the
State of Oregon. The Managers may permit any or all Managers to participate in a regular or
special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through, use of any means of communication by
which all Managers participating may simultaneously hear each other during the meeting. A
Manager participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the
meeting.

4.6 Action by Managers Without a Meeting. Action required or permitted to be taken by the
Managers may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by not less than the minimum

2 –OPERATING AGREEMENT (Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC) Exhibit 1


Page 2 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 3 of 54

number of Managers that would be necessary to take such action at a meeting at which all
Managers entitled to vote on the action were present and voted. The action must be
evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by those
Managers taking action, and included in the minutes or filed with the Company records
reflecting the action taken. Action taken under this Section 4.6 is effective when the consent
bearing sufficient signatures is delivered to the Company, unless the consent specifies an
earlier or later effective date. A consent signed under this Section 4.6 has the effect of a
meeting vote and may be described as such in any document. If action is taken as provided in
this Section 4.6, the Company must give written notice of the action promptly after the action
is taken to Managers who did not consent in writing.

4.7 Notice of Managers’ Meeting.

(a) The Managers may by resolution provide for regular meetings. Regular meetings of
the Managers may be held without notice of the date, time, place or purpose of the
meeting, other than the resolution.

(b) Special meetings of the Managers may be called by or at the request of any Manager.
Special meetings of the Managers must be preceded by at least one days’ notice of the
date, time and place of the meeting, sent by any usual means of communication, which
may include e-mail. The notice need not describe the purpose of the special meeting.

4.8 Waiver of Notice of Managers’ Meeting. A Manager may at any time waive any notice
required by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.8, the waiver
must be in writing which may include e-mail, must specify the meeting for which notice is
waived and must be filed with the minutes or Company records. A Manager’s attendance at
or participation in a meeting waives any required notice to the Manager of the meeting unless
the Manager at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon the Manager’s arrival, objects
to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for
or assent to action taken at the meeting.

4.9 Agency Power. Each Manager is an agent of the Company for the purpose of its business.
Subject to certain matters requiring consent of the Members under Section 5.1 or Section 5.2,
any Manager may sign and deliver any instrument in the Company’s name, including but not
limited to any instrument transferring or affecting the Company’s interest in real property.

4.10 Duties and Standard of Conduct.

(a) The only fiduciary duties a Manager owes to the Company and the Members are the
duty of loyalty and the duty of care set forth in Section 4.10(b) and Section 4.10(d).

(b) A Manager’s duty of loyalty to the Company and the Members includes the following:

(1) to account to the Company and hold for it any property, profit or benefit derived
by the Manager in the conduct and winding up of the Company’s business or
derived from a use by the Manager of Company property; and

(2) except as provided in Section 4.10(g) and Section 4.10(h), to refrain from dealing
with the Company in a manner adverse to the Company and to refrain from
representing a person with an interest adverse to the Company, in the conduct or
winding up of the Company’s business.

Page 3 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 4 of 54

(c) A Manager will not violate the Manager’s duty of loyalty to the Company and the
Members by:

(1) competing with the Company in the conduct of the business of the Company
before the dissolution of the Company; or

(2) entering into or engaging in, for the Manager’s own account, an investment,
business, transaction or activity that is similar to the investments, businesses,
transactions or activities of the Company without:

(A) first offering the Company or the Members an opportunity to participate in


the investment, business, transaction or activity; or

(B) having any obligation to account to the Company or the Members for the
investment, business, transaction or activity or the profits from the
investment, business, transaction or activity.

(d) A Manager’s duty of care to the Company and the Members in the conduct and
winding up of the business of the Company is limited to refraining from engaging in
grossly negligent or reckless conduct, intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law.

(e) A Manager will discharge the duties to the Company and the Members under the Act or
under this Agreement and exercise any rights consistent with the obligation of good
faith and fair dealing.

(f) A Manager does not violate a duty or obligation under the Act or under this Agreement
merely because the Manager’s conduct furthers the Manager’s own interest.

(g) A Manager may lend money to or transact other business with the Company, provided
that any loan or transaction between the Manager and the Company must be authorized
or ratified by a Super Majority of Units after full disclosure of all material facts.

(h) Loans and other transactions between the Company and a Manager are binding on the
parties in the same manner as transactions between the Company and persons who are
not Managers, subject to other applicable law.

(i) A Member who is not also a Manager owes no duties to the Company or the other
Members solely by reason of being a Member.

(j) A Super Majority of Units may authorize or ratify, after full disclosure of all material
facts, a specific act or transaction that otherwise would violate the duty of loyalty.

4.11 Indemnification and Limitation of Liability.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.11(b), the Company will:

(1) indemnify any person for acts or omissions as a Manager; and

(2) eliminate the liability of a Manager to the Company or the Members for damages
from such acts or omissions.

4 –OPERATING AGREEMENT (Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC) Exhibit 1


Page 4 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 5 of 54

(b) The Company may not indemnify a person for acts or omissions as a Manager or
eliminate the liability of a Manager for:

(1) any breach of the Manager’s duty of loyalty to the Company or the Members;

(2) acts or omissions not in good faith which involve intentional misconduct or a
knowing violation of law;

(3) any unlawful Distribution under ORS 63.235;

(4) any transaction from which the Manager derives an improper personal benefit; or

(5) as otherwise limited by the Act.

4.12 Liability of Managers. The debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company, whether
arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, are solely the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the
Company. A Manager is not personally liable for a debt, obligation, or liability of the
Company solely by reason of being or acting as a Manager.

4.13 Executive Director.

(a) A Super Majority of Units may designate an executive director. If appointed, the
executive director will supervise, direct, and control the day-to-day business and affairs
of the Company. The executive director also will perform all duties commonly
incident to the position of executive director and other duties prescribed by the
Managers.

(b) An executive director has the authority and will perform the duties set forth in this
Agreement or, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, the duties prescribed by the
Managers. The designation of an executive director does not itself create contract
rights.

(c) An executive director may resign at any time by delivering notice to the Company. A
resignation is effective when the notice delivered unless the notice specifies a later
effective date. If a resignation is made effective at a later date and the Company
accepts the future effective date, the Managers may fill the pending vacancy before the
effective date if the Managers provide that the successor does not take office until the
effective date. Once delivered, a notice of resignation is irrevocable unless revocation
is permitted by the Managers.

(d) A Super Majority of Units may remove an executive director from such position;
provided, however, such removal does not terminate the executive director’s
employment relationship with the Company.

Company require the consent of a Super Majority of Units:

date. A consent signed under this Section 5.4 has the effect of a meeting vote and may be
described as such in any document. If action is taken as provided in this Section 5.4, the
Company must give written notice of the action promptly after the action is taken to Members
who did not consent in writing.

5.5 Notice of Members’ Meeting. The Company must notify Members of the date, time and
place of each Members’ meeting not earlier than 60 days nor less than 10 days before the
meeting date, sent by any usual means of communication which may include e-mail. The
Company is required to give notice only to Members entitled to vote at the meeting. Notice
of a meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting
is called. If a Members’ meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need
not be given of the new date, time or place if the new date, time or place is announced at the
meeting before adjournment.

5.6 Waiver of Notice of Members’ Meeting. A Member may at any time waive any notice
required by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.6, waiver must be
in writing, be signed by the Member entitled to the notice and be delivered to the Company
for inclusion in the minutes for filing with the Company records. A Member’s attendance at
a meeting waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the
Member at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting
business at the meeting.

5.7 Adjournment of Members’ Meeting. A majority of Units represented at a meeting of


Members, whether or not a Majority of Units, may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a
different time and place without further notice to any Member of any adjournment, except as
such notice may be required by Section 5.5. At the adjourned meeting at which a Majority of
Units is present, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the
meeting originally held.

5.8 Participation at Meeting. All Members may participate in a meeting by, and all Members’
meetings may be conducted through, use of any means of communication by which all
Members participating may simultaneously hear each other. A Member participating in a
meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting. The notice of each
meeting of Members will state that participation in the manner referred to in this Section 5.8
is permitted and will describe how any Member desiring to participate may notify the
Company of the Member’s desire to be included in the meeting.

5.9 Proxy. A Member may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the Member by signing
an appointment instrument, either personally or by the Member’s attorney-in-fact.

5.10 Liability of Members. The debts, obligations, and liabilities of the Company, whether
arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, are solely the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the
Company. A Member is not personally liable for a debt, obligation, or liability of the
Company solely by reason of being or acting as a Member.

SECTION 6 CONTRIBUTIONS

6.1 Contributions. The contributions of a Member to the Company may consist of cash,
property, services rendered, or a promissory note or other obligation to contribute cash or to
perform services.

6.2 Liability for Contributions. A promise by a Member to contribute to the Company is not
enforceable unless it is set out in writing and signed by the Member. The obligation of an
Interest Holder to make a contribution may be compromised only by consent of a Majority of
Units.

6.3 Initial Contributions. Each Member’s initial contribution to the Company is set forth on
Schedule 2.1. Each Member will deliver to the Company such deeds, bills of sale, certificates
of title, assignments, and other documents that the Company may reasonably request for the
contribution, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

6.4 Additional Contributions.

(a) No Interest Holder is required to make any additional contributions to the Company.
Any additional capital contributions (“Additional Capital Contribution”) will only be
made with the consent of a Majority of Managers and a Majority of Units. If a
Majority of Managers and a Majority of Units consents to an Additional Capital
Contribution, the Contribution Percentages and Ownership Percentages of the Interest
Holders will be adjusted in accordance with Section 6.4(b) or Section 6.4(c), as
applicable, and the Company will issue Units to the Interest Holders to reflect the
adjustment to their respective Ownership Percentages resulting from the Additional
Capital Contribution. Further, Schedule 2.1 will be revised following each Additional
Capital Contribution to reflect the changes resulting from such Additional Capital
Contribution.

(b) If a Majority of Managers and a Majority of Units consents to an Additional Capital


Contribution pursuant to Section 6.4(a), the Company will provide each Interest Holder
with the opportunity to fund such Interest Holder’s pro-rata share (determined by
Contribution Percentage) of the Additional Capital Contribution. If all Interest Holders
fund their respective pro-rata share of the Additional Capital Contribution in full and at
the time specified by the Company, there will be no adjustment to the Contribution
Percentages or the Ownership Percentages as a result of the Additional Capital
Contribution. However, if one or more of the Interest Holders do not fund their pro-
rata share of an Additional Capital Contribution in full and at the time specified by the
Company, the Contribution Percentages and Ownership Percentages of the Interest
Holders will be adjusted as provided in Section 6.4(c).

(c) If one or more of the Interest Holders do not fund their pro-rata share of an Additional
Capital Contribution in full and at the time specified by the Company, the Contribution
Percentages and the Ownership Percentage of the Interest Holders will be adjusted as
follows:

8 –OPERATING AGREEMENT (Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC) Exhibit 1


Page 8 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 9 of 54

(1) The Manager will calculate the value of the Company immediately prior to the
funding of the Additional Capital Contribution (“Pre-Adjustment Valuation”)
which will equal the greater of:

(A) (i) six times trailing twelve months EBITDA (6x TTM EBITDA) less any
indebtedness, multiplied by (ii) 0.85; or

(B) the Closing Value less any indebtedness, where “Closing Value” equals
$100,000.00 plus the aggregate amount of any previously funded
Additional Capital Contributions.

(2) Each Interest Holder’s Contribution Percentage following the Additional Capital
Contribution would equal:

(A) the sum of (i) the portion of the Additional Capital Contribution, if any,
funded by the Interest Holder, plus (ii) the Interest Holder’s pre-adjustment
Contribution Percentage multiplied by the Pre-Adjustment Valuation;

divided by

(B) the sum of (i) the Additional Capital Contribution plus (ii) the Pre-
Adjustment Valuation; and

(3) Each Interest Holder’s Ownership Percentage following the Additional Capital
Contribution would equal:

(A) in the case of Parent, Parent’s Contribution Percentage (as revised by


Section 6.4(c)(2)) multiplied by 0.85; and

(B) in the case of Ken Huey, the sum of (i) Ken Huey’s Contribution
Percentage (as revised by Section 6.4(c)(2) after giving effect to the
Additional Capital Contribution) multiplied by 0.85, plus (ii) 15%.

Example #1: Assume that the Company requires an Additional Capital Contribution of
$200,000.00 and the Pre-Adjustment Valuation equals $100,000.00. Assume further
that Parent funds $175,000.00 of the Additional Capital Contribution and Ken Huey
funds the remaining $25,000.00 of the Additional Capital Contribution. Assume
further that prior to the funding of this Additional Capital Contribution the Contribution
Percentage of the Interest Holders was (a) Parent – 70.6%, and (b) Ken Huey – 29.4%.
And finally assume that prior to the funding of this Additional Capital Contribution the
Ownership Percentage of the Interest Holders was (a) Parent – 60.0%, and (b) Ken
Huey – 40.0%. Using these facts, the Contribution Percentages and the Ownership
Percentages of the Interest Holders would be adjusted as follows as a result of the
Additional Capital Contribution:

• Parent’s Contribution Percentage would increase to 81.9%: ($175,000.00 +


70.6% of $100,000.00)/($200,000.00 + $100,000.00).

• Parent’s Ownership Percentage would increase to 69.6%: (81.9% * 0.85).

9 –OPERATING AGREEMENT (Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC) Exhibit 1


Page 9 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 10 of 54

• Ken Huey’s Contribution Percentage would decrease to 18.1%: ($25,000 +


29.4% of $100,000.00)/($200,000.00 + $100,000.00).

• Ken Huey’s Ownership Percentage would decrease to 30.4%: (18.1% * 0.85


+ 15.0%).

Example #2: Assume that Additional Capital Contribution, and associated adjustments
to Contribution Percentage and Ownership Percentage, described in Example #1 have
occurred and the Company now requires an the Company requires an Additional
Capital Contribution of $300,000.00. The Pre-Adjustment Valuation now equals
$500,000 (using 6x TTM EBITDA less any indebtedness, multiplied by 0.85 formula).
Assume further that Parent funds $300,000.00 of the Additional Capital Contribution.
Using these facts, the Contribution Percentages and the Ownership Percentages of the
Interest Holders would be adjusted as follows as a result of the Additional Capital
Contribution:

• Parent’s Contribution Percentage would increase to 88.7%: ($300,000.00 +


81.9% of $500,000.00)/($300,000.00 + $500,000.00).

• Parent’s Ownership Percentage would increase to 75.4%: (88.7% * 0.85).

• Ken Huey’s Contribution Percentage would decrease to 11.3%: ($0.00 +


18.1% of $500,000.00)/($300,000.00 + $500,000.00).

• Ken Huey’s Ownership Percentage would decrease to 24.6%: (11.3% *


0.85+ 15.0%).

6.5 No Interest on Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Interest


Holder will be paid any interest on any contribution.

6.6 Return of Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Interest


Holder will have the right to receive any return of any contribution.

determined and maintained throughout the full term of the Company in accordance with the
capital accounting rules of Treas Reg § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

7.2 Section 704(c) Considerations. In cases where IRC § 704(c) and Treas Reg § 1.704-3 apply
to Company property, the Interest Holders’ Capital Accounts will be adjusted in accordance

computed for book purposes, with respect to the property.

7.3 Revaluations of Property.

10 –OPERATING AGREEMENT (Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC) Exhibit 1


Page 10 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 11 of 54

(1) a contribution of money or other property – other than a de minimis amount – to


the Company by a new or existing Member as consideration for Units;

(2) a Distribution of Company property by the Company to an Interest Holder as


consideration for Units;

(3) the issuance of Incentive Units – other than a de minimis amount – by the
Company to a Service Provider; or

(4) the liquidation of the Company.

(b) Adjustments to Capital Accounts under this Section 7.3 may be made only if:

(1) the adjustments are based on the fair market value of Company property – taking
IRC § 7701(g) into account – on the date of adjustment;

(2) the adjustments reflect the manner in which the unrealized income, gain, loss, or
deduction inherent in such property – that has not been reflected in the Capital
Accounts previously – would be allocated among the Interest Holders if there
were a taxable disposition of such property for such fair market value on that
date;

(3) the Interest Holders’ Capital Accounts are adjusted in accordance with
Treas Reg § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations to them of depreciation,
depletion, amortization, and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with
respect to such property; and

(4) the Interest Holders’ distributive shares of depreciation, depletion, amortization,


and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property will
be determined so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax
basis and book value of such property in the same manner as under IRC § 704(c)
and Treas Reg § 1.704-1(b)(4)(i).

7.4 Transfers of Units. Upon a sale, exchange, gift, or other transfer of Units by an Interest
Holder, the Capital Account of the Interest Holder that is attributable to the Units will carry
over to the transferee.

7.5 Section 754 Elections. Upon adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of Company property
under IRC § 732, IRC § 734, or IRC § 743, the Capital Accounts of the Interest Holders will

negative Capital Account balance.

SECTION 8 UNITS, INCENTIVE UNITS, AND UNIT EQUIVALENTS

8.1 Units Generally. The ownership interests of the Interest Holders will be represented by
issued and outstanding Units. The Company is authorized to issue one class of Units.

8.2 Issuance of Units. The Company is authorized to issue to any person Units and Unit
Equivalents to a person after the date of this Agreement, and admit the person as a Member

11 –OPERATING AGREEMENT (Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC) Exhibit 1


Page 11 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 12 of 54

with respect to issued Units, upon the consent a Majority of Managers and a Majority of
Units, subject to Section 6.4 and Section 8.3.

8.3 Operating Agreement.

(a) Any issuance of Units (including Incentive Units) must be conditioned upon the person
that is issued Units being a party to this Agreement, or becoming a party to this
Agreement by signing a Joinder Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A.

(b) With respect to Unit Equivalents, any issuance of Units upon the exercise of any Unit
Equivalent must be contingent upon the person that is issued Units becoming a party to
this Agreement by signing a Joinder Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A.

(c) Each party to this Agreement consents to a person that is issued Units (including
Incentive Units) or that exercises any Unit Equivalents becoming a party to this
Agreement if the person signs a Joinder Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit A.

8.4 Incentive Units.

Alternative #1 – Assumes Ken does not purchased Units beyond his initial 1,500 Incentive Units
(i.e. 15% profit interest grant)

(a) The total number of Incentive Units (excluding any Incentive Units issued to Ken
Huey) may not exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding Units of the Company.
If the Company issues Incentive Units to an Interest Holder(s) other than Ken Huey,
each such Incentive Unit issued will reduce the number of Units held by Parent by one
Unit. Such reductions will continue for each such additional Incentive Unit issued until
Parent’s total Ownership Percentage has been reduced by ten percentage points.

Example #1: For example, assume that the Company has 10,000 Units and 8,500 Units
are held by Parent and 1,500 Units are held by Ken Huey. If the Company issues 100
Incentive Units to a person other than Ken Huey, the Units held by Parent will be
reduced by 100 Units and its Ownership Percentage would decreased from 85% to
84%. Ken Huey would still own 1,500 Units and would have an Ownership Percentage
of 15%.

Alternative #2 – Assumes Ken has purchased additional Units beyond his initial 1,500 Incentive
Units (i.e. 15% profit interest grant) up to his maximum 40% (15% profit grant plus 25%
additional for cash contribution)

(b) The total number of Incentive Units (excluding any Incentive Units issued to Ken
Huey) may not exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding Units of the Company.
If the Company issues Incentive Units to an Interest Holder(s) other than Ken Huey,
each such Incentive Unit issued will reduce the number of Units held by Ken Huey by
one Unit. Such reductions will continue for each such Incentive Unit issued until Ken
Huey’s Ownership Percentage has been reduced by one percentage point. If the
Company continues to issue Incentive Units to an Interest Holder(s) other than Ken
Huey after Ken Huey’s total Ownership Percentage has been reduced by one
percentage point, each such additional Incentive Unit issued will then reduce the
number of Units held by Parent by one Unit. Such reductions will continue for each

12 –OPERATING AGREEMENT (Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC) Exhibit 1


Page 12 of 54
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 13 of 54

such additional Incentive Unit issued until Parent’s total Ownership Percentage has
been reduced by nine percentage points.

Example #1: For example, assume that the Company has 10,000 Units and 6,000 Units
are held by Parent and 4,000 Units are held by Ken Huey. If the Company issues 100
Incentive Units to a person other than Ken Huey, the Units held by Ken Heuy will be
reduced by 100 Units and his Ownership Percentage would decreased from 40% to
39%. Parent would still own 6,000 Units and would still have an Ownership
Percentage of 60%.

Example #2: Assume that the issuance of Incentive Units described in Example #1 has
occurred and the Company then issues an additional 500 Incentive Units to a person
other than Ken Huey, the Units held by Parent would be reduced by 500 Units and
Parent’s Ownership Percentage would decreased from 60% to 55%. Ken Huey would
still own 3,900 Units and would have an Ownership Percentage of 14%.

(c) A Super Majority of Units may adopt a written plan pursuant to which all Incentive
Units will be granted in compliance with Rule 701 of the Securities Act or another
applicable exemption (such plan as in effect from time to time, the “Incentive Plan”).
If an Incentive Plan is adopted, the Company is authorized to issue Incentive Units to
Managers, officers, employees, consultants or other service providers of the Company
(collectively, “Service Providers”), and the Managers are authorized to negotiate and
enter into award agreements with each Service Provider to whom is granted Incentive
Units (such agreements, “Award Agreements”), in accordance with the Incentive Plan.

(d) The Company will establish such vesting criteria for any grant of Incentive Units and
will include such vesting criteria in the Incentive Plan and/or the applicable Award
Agreement for any grant of Incentive Units. As used in this Agreement:

(1) any Incentive Units that have not vested pursuant to the terms of the Incentive
Plan and any associated Award Agreement are referred to as “Restricted
Incentive Units”; and

(2) any Incentive Units that have vested pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan
and any associated Award Agreement are referred to as “Unrestricted Incentive
Units.”

(e) If any Restricted Incentive Units are forfeited, then immediately after such forfeiture
the Capital Account attributed for such forfeited Restricted Incentive Units will be
reallocated among the Interest Holders in proportion to their respective holdings of
Units.

(f) Immediately prior to each issuance of Incentive Units, the Managers will determine in
good faith the Incentive Liquidation Value. Pursuant to Section 7.3(a)(3), the Capital
Accounts of the existing Interest Holders, immediately prior to the issuance of the new
Incentive Units, will be adjusted so that the aggregate Capital Accounts of the existing
Interest Holders equals the Incentive Liquidation Value and the Capital Accounts
attributed to the new Incentive Units is zero.

(g) The Company and each Interest Holder acknowledge and agree that, with respect to
any Service Provider, such Service Provider's Incentive Units constitute a “profits

interest” in the Company within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 93-27 (a “Profits
Interests”), and that any and all Incentive Units received by a Service Provider are
received in exchange for the provision of services by the Service Provider to or for the
benefit of the Company in a Service Provider capacity or in anticipation of becoming a
Service Provider. The Company and each Service Provider who receives Incentive
Units hereby agree to comply with the provisions of Rev. Proc. 2001-43, and neither
the Company nor any Service Provider who receives Incentive Units will perform any
act or take any position inconsistent with the application of Rev. Proc. 2001-43 or any
future Internal Revenue Service guidance or other governmental authority that
supplements or supersedes the foregoing Revenue Procedures.

(h) Incentive Units will receive the following tax treatment:

(1) The Company and each Service Provider who receives Incentive Units will treat
such Service Provider as the owner of such Incentive Units from the date of their
receipt, and the Service Provider receiving such Incentive Units will take into
account the Interest Holder’s Distributive share of income, gain, loss and
deduction associated with the Incentive Units in computing such Service
Provider’s income tax liability for the entire period during which such Service
Provider holds the Incentive Units.

(2) Each Service Provider that receives Incentive Units will make a timely and
effective election under IRC Section 83(b) with respect to such Incentive Units
and will promptly provide a copy to the Company. Except as otherwise
determined by the Managers, both the Company and all Members will:

(A) treat such Incentive Units as outstanding for tax purposes;

(B) treat such Service Provider as a partner for tax purposes with respect to
such Incentive Units; and

(C) file all tax returns and reports consistently with the foregoing. Neither the
Company nor any of its Interest Holders will deduct any amount (as wages,
compensation or otherwise) with respect to the receipt of such Incentive
Units for federal income tax purposes.

(3) In accordance with the finally promulgated successor rules to Proposed


Regulations Section 1.83-3(l) and IRS Notice 2005-43, each Interest Holder, by
executing this Agreement, authorizes and directs the Company to elect a safe
harbor under which the fair market value of any Incentive Units issued after the
effective date of such Proposed Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as
equal to the liquidation value (within the meaning of the Proposed Regulations or
successor rules) of the Incentive Units as of the date of issuance of such Incentive
Units. If the Company makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding
sentence, each Interest Holder agrees to comply with all safe harbor requirements
with respect to Transfers of Units while the safe harbor election remains
effective.

(i) For the avoidance of doubt:

(1) all Incentive Units, including Unrestricted Incentive Units, will be subject to the
rights of the Company to exercise the option under Section 25.2; and

(2) no Restricted Incentive Units, will have any right to exercise the option under
Section 25.4, without the consent of a Super Majority of Units.

SECTION 9 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

9.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses. After giving effect to the allocation provisions set forth on
Schedule 9.1, Profits and Losses will be allocated among the Interest Holders in proportion to
their Units.

9.2 Transfer of Units. If an Interest Holder sells, exchanges, or liquidates some or all of the
Interest Holder’s Units, then to the extent permitted by IRC § 706, Profits and Losses will be
allocated between the former Interest Holder and the Interest Holder’s successor-in-interest as
follows:

(a) the Company taxable year with respect to the Units will close on the date of such sale,
exchange, or liquidation;

(b) the former Interest Holder will be allocated the amount of the Profits and Losses
attributable to the Units for the Company taxable year ending with the date of such

(c) the Interest Holder’s successor-in-interest will be allocated the amount of the Profits
and Losses attributable to the Units after the date of such sale, exchange, or liquidation.

9.3 Distributions In Kind. The Profits or Losses attributable to any asset in kind that is
Distributed to one or more Interest Holders:

10.6 Company Audit Rules.

(a) For all tax periods with respect to which the BBA Rules are not mandatory, the
Company will have a tax matters member who will have all of the powers and
obligations of a “tax matters partner” under IRC § 6231(a)(7). When the BBA Rules
are mandatory, the Company will have a partnership representative (the “Partnership

determine to be fair and equitable. Each Interest Holder will pay to the Company
the amount allocated to it under the preceding sentence within ten business days.

Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-1 Filed 01/26/21 Page 17 of 54

At the Managers’ discretion, such payment may be made by withholding


distributions that would otherwise be paid to an Interest Holder.

ARBITRATION SERVICE OF PORTLAND, INC.

WILDERNESS TRAINING &


CONSULTING, LLC, an Oregon limited ASP Case No. 191112-2
liability company, as member of Rocky
Mountain Pathways, J,LC,
Claimant, PRELIMINARY AWARD

V.

K"ENNETH HUEY, an individual and


ROCKYMOUNTAINPATHWAYS,LLC,
an Oregon limited liability company,
Respondents.

An arbitration hearing in this matter was held on Oct. 7.9, 2020, and extensive evidence was taken.
The parties then submitted their closing arguments in writing to the panel on Oct. 16, 2020.
Pursuant to ASP Rule 31, and after careful consideration of the evidence and applicable law, the
undersigned panel unanimously issues this Preliminary Award in favor of claimant Wilderness
Training & Consulting, LLC (WTC). The panel has fully considered and has rejected all legal
arguments made by the parties that are not expressly addressed in this written decision.

BACKGROUND

This dispute arises out of a joint undertaking of the parties to create Kokua Recovery (Kokua), a
for-profit residential treatment program for adolescents with substance abuse and mental health
issues located in Greeley, Colorado. Following its business model, WTC partnered with
respondent Kenneth Huey (Huey) to be the salaried Executive Director for Kokua and as a 40%
minority member of Rocky Mountain Pathways, LLC (RMP). After he was hired,. Huey spent
approximately two years preparing the program to open. Kokua began admitting students in
October 2018. WTC terminated Huey as Executive Director on July 30, 2019. Several months
later. WTC created a new legal entity of their own called Red Mountain Colorado and essentially
continued the treatment program at the same location, utilizing the Kokua students and the Kokua
staff. From its inception as Kokua and to date as Red Mountain Colorado, the program has not
had a sufficient number of students to make a profit.

On Nov. 11, 2019, WTC initiated this proceeding by filing a Statement Of Claim seeking judicial
dissolution ofRMP pursuant to ORS 63.661, but it has dismissed that claim. This proceeding was
continued based on Huey's Statement Of Claim filed on Jan. 22, 2020, asserting claims for relief
for breach of conrract, breach of fiduciary duty and declaratory relief. Huey has subsequently
withdrawn his claim for declaratory relief. Prior to hearing, the panel allowed Huey's motion to
amend to add allegations supporting a request for punitive damages in connection with his claim
for breach of fiduciary duty.

Exhibit 2

Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-2 Filed 01/26/21 Page 2 of 8

BREACH OF CONTRACT CLAIM

Huey alleges that Iris termination as Executive Director ofKokua was a breach of his contract of
employment with WTC and seeks an award of economic damages. Huey contends that his
employment was protected by a "for cause" requirement and that WTC has not demonstrated
"cause" for his termination. Although Huey does not rely on a provision in an employment
agreement providing such protection, he relies on

a the parties understandings, prior discussions, and conduct,


b. a statement in an employm.e nt job offer that says "Employment will be subject to the
terms outlined in the Operating Agreement, including but not limited to termination
without cause provisions standard for an executive level employee,"
c. Section 18 of the RMP Operating Agreement that provides for cessation of Huey's
membership interest ofRMP if his employment is terminated "For Cause," and
d. Section 20 of the RMP Operating Agreement that provides for a Call Option
Triggering Event if his employment is terminated "For Cause.

The RMP Operating Agreement defines "for cause" as:

"For Cause" will have the meaning ascribed to such term in any then-current
employment agreement between the Company and the Interest Holder or Key Individual
of the Interest Holder, or if no such employment agreement exists will mean if any of the
following has occurred: (a) the Interest Hol<ler or Key Individual of the Interest Holder
engages in dishonesty, fraud, or theft; (b) the Interest Holder or Key Individual of the
Interest Holder willfully and repeatedly fails to carry out a reasonable direction of the

(Ex. I 16, FHW-0067)

For its part, WTC contends that - although it had many good reasons to terminate Huey - he was
an at-wiJl employee and cause for termination was not required. WTC argues that the above "for
cause" provisions in the Operating Agreement are standard provisions for an equity holder such as
Huey, but the provisions do not apply to him as an employee of WTC.

We do not find it necessary to decide, as a matter of law, whether the "for cause" provisions of the
Operating Agreement apply to Huey as the Executive Director ofKokua. Instead, as we explain
below, we conclude that WTC has demonstrated cause for Huey's termination under the Operating
Agreement if cause is required. In other words. even if Huey is correct that he has "for cause"
protection under these provisions, WTC had sufficient cause to terminate him.

Exhibit 2
Page 2 of 8
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-2 Filed 01/26/21 Page 3 of 8

Specifically, we conclude that WTC had a sufficient factual basis for terminating Huey for
"engag[ing] in dishonesty" within the meaning of the definition of "For Cause" in the Operating
Agreement. We begin by noting that "dishonesty" is simply defined in th.e Merriam-Webster
online dictionary as "1) lack of honesty or integrity: disposition to defraud or deceive'' and "2) a
dishonest act: fraud".

The panel's conclusions that WTC demonstrated it had a sufficient factual basis to terminate Huey
for engaging in dishonesty is hased on the credible testimony of Jenny Kudna, Briana Severine,
Steve Stradley and Josh White. The panel generally did not find Dr. Huey credible as a witness
regarding the termination issues.

Jenny Kudna's testimony: In February 2019, Ms. Kudna, Senior Vice President for WTC,
personally met with Briana Severine, a clinical director for Kokua, who had resigned from her
employment on Feb. 7, 2019. During the two-hour interview, Severine told Kudna that she had
resigned because of Huey's inappropriate conduct toward her and others at the workplace. Among
other things, this included Huey inquiring about her sexual orientation, using sexually vulgar
language in an interview with a female applicant, using sexually vulgar language in her presence
and threatening to ruin her reputation. Kudna reported this information to Steve Stradley, the CEO
ofWTC.

Briana Severine's testimony: In her videotaped perpetuation testimony, Severine corroborated


Kudna's testimony about the resignation meeting and the information she provided to Kudna.
Severine also testified that she told Kudna that she had complained to Huey about him allowing
men to reside on Kokua grounds after adolescents began residing at the treatment center. This
included Huey's brother, Dave Huey, who appeared to have a drug addiction and who behaved
erratically at times. Severine observed drug paraphernalia in Dave Huey's room some time after
Dave Huey was removed from the premises with police assistan.ce. Kudna did not recall Severine
telling her about the men living on the premises with the youth in residence.

Steven Strad1ey's testimony: On May I, 2019, Stradley received an email from Huey stating as
follows: "Steve - The state got a long complaint from Briana and perhaps Amanda.,They are on
site today investigating. Not much in the way of skeletons to create big problems but is annoying.
Just an FYI. - Ken". Stradley testified that he was "shocked" at how serious Kokua's violations
were compared to Huey's repres€t~tations after the complaint led to an inspection report by the
state. The Report of Inspection by the Colorado Department of Human Services dated July 3,
2019, found the following 11 violations of regulatory standards:

Stradley terminated Huey as the Executive Director ofKokua a few weeks later on July 30, 2019.
The reason Stradley gave Huey for th~ termination when they met was that Huey was not
sufficiently '·collaborative". Huey's notes of the meeting state that "Steve related that the
complaint that was filed was alarming 'at a board level' and that FHW had never had such a report
against an FHW program:' (Ex. 143)

Josh White's testimony: Josh White was promptly hired by WTC as Executive Director to succeed
Huey at the treatment program. He testified that the state regulators were very unhappy about
Koktia based on the regulatory violations but that they appeared to be pleased with the prospect of
the development of a new program under new leadership. White and Kudna both testified that
they reasonably viewed Kokua·s license at risk as a result of the violations.

Thus, at the time Stradley terminated Huey, he knew there had been credible allegations about
Huey's inappropriate conduct at the workplace resulting in Severine's resignation and seriously
calling into question Huey's honesty and integrity as the leader ofKokua Recovery. Then, in close
proximity to the termination, Stradley found out, as a result of the Inspection Report. that Huey
had been dishonest with him about the seriousness of the violations at the treatment center that
would be discovered by the state. As stated, these violations included the failure of management
to timely conduct background checks of staff, violations relating to a youth self-harming himself
with a steak knife and multiple incidents of non-supervision of youth. Huey engaged in dishonesty
and deceit when he essentially told Stradley that the inspection would be "annoying" but would
not disclose substantive problems about the operations of the treatment program.

WTC also points to a number of other incidents of poor judgement by Huey during his tenure as
the Executive Director of Koktia. However, we have appropriately narrowed our assessment to
serious incidents regarding Huey's honesty and integrity known to WTC prior to his termination.
Based on the evidence, the incidents we have discussed were clearly known to WTC prior to
Huey's termination and we find them sufficient to support his termination for cause.

Huey argues that his termination was not for cause because Stradley did not state that his
termination was for cause at the time of the discharge and, instead, gave the reason that Huey was
"not collaborative". However, we are not aware of any legal requirement that art employer must
expressly use the term "for cause" to terminate an employee for cause. Further, Stradley credibly
testified that he routinely did not take a confrontive approach when he found it necessary to
terminate employees and that he chose a non-confrontative approach in this instance. Instead, he
took an approach he hoped would protect the reputational interests of WTC and Huey,
notwithstanding the fact that their partnership was ending.

BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY CLAIM

Huey alleges that WTC, as manager ofRMP. violated its duties of loyalty and care to RMP and
Huey. Section 4.1 O(b) the RMP Operating Agreement sets forth WTC' s duty of loyalty as:

(1) to account to the Company and hold for it any property, profit or benefit
derived by the Manger in the conduct and winding up of the Company's
business or derived from a use by the Manger of Company property; and

(2) except as provided in Section 4.1 0(g) and Section 4.1 O(h) [referring to loans
by the Manager to the Company], to refrain from dealing with the Company
in a manner adverse to the Company and to refrain from representing a person
with an interests adverse to the Company, in the conduct or winding up of the
Company's business. (Ex. 117 at 3)

The Operating Agreement provides that WTC does not violate its duty of loyalty by competing
with RMP. Nor does it do so by entering into or engaging in, for WTC's own account, a business
that is similar to RMP's business without first offering RMP or Huey an opportunity to participate
in the business or without having any obligation to account to RMP or Huey for the business or
the profits from the business. (Ex. 117 at 4.)

WTC had a duty of care to RMP and Huey not to engage in grossly negligent or reckless conduct,
or intentional misconduct, in the conduct and winding up of the business ofRMP. Id

WTC was required to discharge its duties and exercise any rights consistent with the obligation
of good faith and fair dealing. Id. WTC does not violate a duty or obligation merely because its
conduct furthers its own interest. Id. These provisions are not inconsistent with the Oregon LLC
Act (ORS 63.001 - 63.992).

Huey alleges that WTC was concerned about its continuing relationship with Huey and Kokua's
losses as early as February and considered "flushing its investment." Huey asserts that the May
31, 2019 capital call was wrongful or in bad faith because WTC did not warn Huey about these
developments. In the May capital call, Huey contributed and WTC contributed
.

Huey alleges that WTC" s decision to separate from Huey and have a new entity, Red Mountain
Colorado LLC, wholly owned by WTC, take over the lease, staff and students was a breach of its
fiduciary duties. Huey alleges that because of WTC's breach, he lost his investment
and his 40% ownership interest, which he valued at between $1,276,000 and $3,672,000 based on
projected revenue.

We conclude that WTC did not violate its fiduciary duties to the LLC and Huey. Regarding the
capital call, there was no evidence that the capital call was not a business necessity at the time
WTC made the capital call. Huey presented no evidence that WTC kept him in the dark about
RMP's financial information or that the RMP's financial results were not available to him. As a
member, WTC had every right to question the viability of its investment in RMP. As a

Exhibit 2
Page 6 of 8
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-2 Filed 01/26/21 Page 7 of 8

manager, WTC had the right, and the responsibility, to consider Huey's performance. Tue fact
that there were concerns about RMP's financial performance and Huey's performance at the time
of the capital call does not make the cal] inappropriate or wrongful. WTC, as manager, did not
engage in grossly negligent or reckless conduct, intentional misconduct or knowing violation of
the law in making the capital call without notifying Huey that his employment was an issue. In
sum, WTC's May capital call did not breach its duty to Huey because the evidence supports
making the capital call.

R~garding WTC's termination of Huey. the testimony ofKudna, Severine, Stradley, White and
even Huey, as well as the CDIIS violations, showed that Huey was running Kokua in a way that
put the RMP in jeopardy. Given Huey's cavalier attitude toward policies and responding to the
CDHS violations, unprofessional treatment of staff and unprofessional actions in front of
students, and his imminent plan to admit girls to live on the second floor, Huey appeared prone
to future actions that could have resulted in additional liabiliti~s for the RMP. WTC exercised its
duty of care to RMP by ending Huey's employment when it did.

The Kokua program assets and liabilities must be considered as part of the :fiduciary duty
analysis. The Kolata program could not continue after Huey's termination. The lease would be
in default if WTC did not unilaterally pay additional rent, which it had no obligation to do. The
Red Mountain Colorado lease was a new lease, which permitted the RMP to avoid further,
significant losses. The alternative was to default on the lease, which would be a liability to
RMP, WTC and Huey of around $2 million. Considering the lease liability, WTC would have
violated its duty to the RMP and Huey had it not tried to find someone to take over the lease.
Negotiating a lease termination was reasonable and prudent and not a breach ofWTC's duty.

WTC leased Kokua's assets to Red Mountain Colorado for a value that was not challenged. By
leasing the assets to Red Mountain Colorado, WTC derived value for assets that otherwise would
have been sold at a fire sale or placed in storage. WTC had obtained an appraisal of the vehicles,
equipment and furniture and offered to sell them to Huey. Thus, WTC did not violate its duty of
loyalty in accounting to and holding the property for RMP in winding up Kokua.

The student contracts were a liability, not an asset. The contracts for the 5 to 6 students did not
create any value because the July 2019 financials show that the gross income of from
the students was far less than the in expenses necessary to provide them services. (Ex.
32). WTC could have tenninated staff and sent the students home in July 2019. However, both
WTC and Huey would have suffered reputational damages as a result. Thus, WTC did not act in
a manner adverse to Huey by having Red Mountain Colorado take over the staff and student
contracts.

Further, Kokua's license had no value since it was facility specific. WTC's evidence was that the
license for Red Mountain Colorado was processed per the direction of the Colorado regulators,
and there was no contrary evidence.

Kokua' s financial performance informs the breach of :fiduciary duty analysis. At the time of
Huey's termination, Kokua was insolvent and remained insolvent through November 2019 when
Rc:d Mountain Colorado took over the lease, the student contracts and hired the staff. Kokua lost

Exhibit 2
Page 7 of 8
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-2 Filed 01/26/21 Page 8 of 8

significant amounts of money and had debts that exceeded its assets. It never made a profit. At
the time WTC terminated Huey, the lease: was in default or going into default, and had no value.
The hard assets appear to have been of low quality, and if sold at any reasonable market value,
the proceeds would have gone to pay the RIY!P' s debts. Iltere was no evidence that the RMP had
any goodwill of any value, and \VTC's evidence suggests that the Kokua name had no value, but
was a detriment. In sum, the Kokua progra.in bad no value. Given the financial status of the
Kokua program, RMP did not appear to have any prospects for a sale or to attract investors.

Even if WTC breached its duty ofloyalty to RMP and Huey by forming Red Mountain Colorado
and having it take over the liabilities of the lease, staff and enrolled students, WTC's actions did
not result in lost profits for Huey because RMP was insolvent. The reliance of Huey's expert on
projections to create an artificial EBITDA is not persuasive because he. used budget numbers that
were aspirational and had no real world validity. WTC's expert testimony was credible because
he based his analysis on actual financial performance. The fact that WTC had to put in $375,000
pl)St temlination of Huey to keep the R1v.1P afloat and satisfy creditors supports his testimony of
im;olvency, as does the fact that Red :Mountain Colorado still has not made a profit. Since an
insolvent entity has no value, Huey's 40% .interest in the insolvent RMP had no "al.ue.

In :j\Jffi, while wrc may have had mixed motives of its own economic and reputational interests,
WTC did not breach its fiduciary duty by having Red Mountain Colorado take over RMP's
Hab:ilities because all other options were less desirable. WTC. s actions resulted in fewer losses,
both reputational and financiai. The evidence shows that WTC has not violated its duties to Huey
in ~iinding up Kokua and even if WTC breached its fiduciary duty, any breach did not cause
damages because ofR1\1P's insolvency.

SUPPLE:t-11ENTAL AWARD

In its Answer to Huey's Statement Of Claim, WTC requested an award. of "reasonable costs,
d1slmrsements, and attorney fees" incurred by WTC "as provided for and allowed by Section 31.12
of the Operating Agreement". ~VTC may now proceed to seek a supplemental award as provided
for in ASP Rule 34A. Any objections by Huey will be governed by ASP Rule 34B.

ARBITRATION SERVICE OF PORTLAND, INC.

WILDERNESS TRAINING &


CONSULTING, LLC, an Oregon limited ASP No. 191112-2
liability company, as member of Rocky
Mountain Pathways, LLC,
Claimant, SUPPLEMENTAL AWARD

V.

KENNETH HUEY, an individual and


ROCKY MOUNTAIN PATHWAYS, LLC,
an Oregon limited liability company,
Respondents.

By Preliminary Award dated Nov. 3, 2020, this panel found in favor of Claimant Wilderness
Training & Consulting, LLC (WTC) on all claims asserted by Respondent Kenneth Huey (Huey)
in his Statement of Claim for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. WTC had initiated
this proceeding by filing a Statement of Claim seeking judicial dissolution of Rocky Mountain
Pathways, LLC (RMP), but dismissed that claim. WTC has timely filed an APPLICATION
FOR ATTORNEYS' FEES AND COSTS and Huey has timely filed an OPPOSITION TO
CLAIMANT'S APPLICATION. WTC seeks $811,136.12 in reasonable attorney fees incurred
and $124,496.86 in litigation costs for a total award of $935,532.98. (The panel has adjusted
WTC's cost request by an additional $10,500., based on the panel's final fee deposit assessment).
For the reasons we explain below, the panel awards WTC $540,757. in reasonable attorney fees
(a one-third reduction from the requested amount) and $124,497. in costs for a total award of
$665,254.

HUEY' S "MATERIAL BREACH" ARGUMENT

In his opposition to WTC's Application for Attorney Fees and Costs, Huey first argues that WTC
should not be awarded any fees or eosts under Section 31.12 of the parties1.. Operating
Agreement. "given that WTC materially breached the Operating Agreement." Opp., p.l. We
disagree. First, the panel has already concluded that WTC did not violate its fiduciary duties t9
RMP and Huey under the circumstances presented. Preliminary Award, p.6. Second, to the
extent that WTC breached the Operating Agreement, as alleged by Huey, WTC's breaches were
a consequence of Huey's breach of his duties as Executive Director ofKokua. The purpose of
RMP was to own, operate and manage a treatment facility. Operating Agreement, section 3 .1.
RMP hired Huey as the Executive Director to operate and manage Kokua. The Operating
Agreement contemplated that Huey would operate the facility professionally as Executive
Director, and he had a fiduciary duty to do so. His failure to act in a professional manner gave
rise to his termination and contributed to the insolvency of Kokua, whose ownership, operation
and management was the sole purpose ofRMP. Huey's breach of fiduciary duty defeated the
object, or purpose ofRMP. WTC's alleged breaches came after Huey's breach of fiduciary duty

Exhibit 3
Page 1 of 4
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-3 Filed 01/26/21 Page 2 of 4

to the LLC, and in some respects were a consequence of Huey's breach. Huey's breach of duty
was material because it defeated the sole purpose of RMP and that breach discharged WTC from
its duty to perform the obligations to Huey that WTC allegedly breached. See Craig v Siegal,
151 Or App 567, 572-73 (1997) ("a breach is material ifit goes to the very substance of the
contract and defeats the object of the parties in entering the contract").

"REASONABLENESS" OF WTC'S ATTORNEY FEE REQUEST

As stated, WTC seeks "reasonable attorney fees" under Section 31.12 of the parties' Operating
Agreement as the "prevailing party" on the claims prosecuted by Huey. In this proceeding, our
determination of the amount of attorney fees is also guided by ASP Rule 34C which provides
that the panel "may consider such factors as: whether and when a settlement offer was made and
the value of the settlement offer compared to the award granted; whether and the extent to which
the party succeeded in a claim or a defense, and the time reasonably expended thereon; the
reasonableness of the time expended in relation to the dollar amount of the claim or defense;
whether the factual or legal disputes represented close questions; whether the attorney refused to
concede matters that ought to have been conceded, resisted matters that should not have been
resisted, refused to stipulate to matters that should have and are customarily stipulated to, if such
conduct affected the expenditure of attorney time." Thus, the Operating Agreement and ASP
Rule 34C provide the legal framework for our determination of a 'reasonable attorney fee award
to WTC as the prevailing party in this case. Under this framework, the panel may also consider
additional pertinent factors, as appropriate, to determine a reasonable fee award.

As WTC points out in its request, it achieved complete success in defending against Huey's
claims. WTC had significant exposure to liability for an award of substantial damages if Huey
had prevailed on his claims. This factor militates in favor ofWTC' s request for an award of
reasonable attorney fees.

WTC also contends that Huey unreasonably turned down WTC's offer of$650,000 to settle this
matter, did not engage in mediation with WTC in good faith and unreasonably continued to
prosecute his claims after WTC dismissed its claim for a judicial dissolution ofRMP. However,
we conclude that the record does not support WTC's contention. Although the record does
support the contention that WTC .offered Huey $150,000 to settle his claims, it does not support
the vague contention that he was offered "a commission worth up to $500,000". App., p.3. Nor
does the record support WTC's contention that Huey did not engage in mediation in good faith
or that it was unreasonable for him to prosecute his claims. At the time mediation was attempted
and at the time Huey filed his claims, he had invested over $400,000 in RMP. He had a
reasonable expectation for a settlement at that time notwithstanding the fact that he was unable to
demonstrate that his investment had value at the time of the parties' arbitration hearing nearly a
year later. Thus, it was not unreasonable for him to expect a larger settlement than offered or to
proceed to the prosecution of his claims.

Exhibit 3
Page 2 of 4
Case 3:21-cv-00121-SI Document 1-3 Filed 01/26/21 Page 3 of 4

Following Huey's recent representation that he is unable to pay the panels' final fee deposit
request, WTC has requested an enhancement of its attorney fee award, citing to ORS 20.075.
Assuming, arguendo, that ORS 20.075 is authority for WTC's request, we do not think that
Huey's current financial circumstances are a factor the panel should appropriately consider in
determining whether a fee enhancement should be allowed.

We now turn to Huey's objections to the reasonableness ofWTC's request for attorney fees.
Huey's primary objection is to the amount of time expended by WTC lawyers in defending
Huey's claims and to the number ofWTC attorneys expending time on the case (staffing). He
contends that the amount of overall attorney time expended by WTC attorneys is "grossly
unreasonable". Opp., p.3. While Huey makes passing reference to "impermissible block-
billing" and "above-market rates charged by WTC's lawyers", he does not develop those
arguments.

WTC's time records show a total of 1,575 in hours worked for the fees WTC now seeks to
recover. WTC Ex. 2, p.3. This includes fees for time expended by four partners and three
associates of Perkins Coie in addition to other time expended by additional attorneys and
paralegals. This also includes the participation of numerous WTC attorneys at the arbitration
hearing held on Oct. 7-9, 2020. Although we recognize that this matter was hotly contested by
both sides, we conclude that the amount oftime expended by WTC to defend Huey's claims was
excessive. This is due, in part, to the number of attorneys assigrn~d to the defense of Huey's
claims, including the number of Perkins Coie attorneys participating in the arbitration hearing.
Accordingly, we conclude that a substantial reduction in the fees requested by WTC is
warranted.

Based on Huey's additional objections to WTC's fee request, we also conclude that a significant
reduction in fees is appropriate with respect to the following work activity: 1) fees for work
performed on WTC's Statement of Claim since that claim was voluntarily dismissed by WTC
(i.e., WTC was not a "prevailing party" on that claim); 2) fees for work relating to WTC's
motions for bond and injunctive relief; at the time the motions were filed, WTC did not have a
sufficient factual basis to assert those motions and; 3) fees for work relating to the testimony of
Paul Collins, an attorney and regulatory expert whose testimony was excluded because his law
firm represented WTC in this matter.
,'
The panel rejects without discuss1oh Huey's additional arguments based on his assertion that the
panel did not correctly decide his claims on the merits. Those arguments disregard how the p~ el
determined the facts and law in this case and are inconsistent with those findings and
conclusions.

After full consideration of all relevant factors in this case and aggregating the substantial
reductions in fees discussed above, we conclude that an overall reduction in WTC 's fee request
by one-third is necessary to arrive at a reasonable fee award to WTC. A one-third reduction in
the requested fees reduces the fee award to $540,757.

COSTS

WTC has requested a cost award of $124,497. as the prevailing party under the parties'
Operating Agreement. Huey has only objected to costs attributable to Paul Collins, the expert
witness excluded from testifying by the panel. Huey has not cited to the record for any costs paid
to Mr. Collins and we have not found a request by WTC for recovery of such a cost. We
therefore award WTC the full amount of costs they have requested. This includes WTC's final
fee deposit of $10,500 (one-half of that deposit was advanced for Huey by WTC pursuant to
ASP Rule l 5F).

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTORNEYS COMPLETING CIVIL COVER SHEET FORM JS 44
Authority For Civil Cover Sheet

The JS 44 civil cover sheet and the information contained herein neither replaces nor supplements the filings and service of pleading or other papers as
required by law, except as provided by local rules of court. This form, approved by the Judicial Conference of the United States in September 1974, is
required for the use of the Clerk of Court for the purpose of initiating the civil docket sheet. Consequently, a civil cover sheet is submitted to the Clerk of
Court for each civil complaint filed. The attorney filing a case should complete the form as follows:

I.(a) Plaintiffs-Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a government agency, use
only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is an official within a government agency, identify first the agency and then
the official, giving both name and title.
(b) County of Residence. For each civil case filed, except U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county where the first listed plaintiff resides at the
time of filing. In U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county in which the first listed defendant resides at the time of filing. (NOTE: In land
condemnation cases, the county of residence of the "defendant" is the location of the tract of land involved.)
(c) Attorneys. Enter the firm name, address, telephone number, and attorney of record. If there are several attorneys, list them on an attachment, noting
in this section "(see attachment)".

II. Jurisdiction. The basis of jurisdiction is set forth under Rule 8(a), F.R.Cv.P., which requires that jurisdictions be shown in pleadings. Place an "X"
in one of the boxes. If there is more than one basis of jurisdiction, precedence is given in the order shown below.
United States plaintiff. (1) Jurisdiction based on 28 U.S.C. 1345 and 1348. Suits by agencies and officers of the United States are included here.
United States defendant. (2) When the plaintiff is suing the United States, its officers or agencies, place an "X" in this box.
Federal question. (3) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1331, where jurisdiction arises under the Constitution of the United States, an amendment
to the Constitution, an act of Congress or a treaty of the United States. In cases where the U.S. is a party, the U.S. plaintiff or defendant code takes
precedence, and box 1 or 2 should be marked.
Diversity of citizenship. (4) This refers to suits under 28 U.S.C. 1332, where parties are citizens of different states. When Box 4 is checked, the
citizenship of the different parties must be checked. (See Section III below; NOTE: federal question actions take precedence over diversity
cases.)

III. Residence (citizenship) of Principal Parties. This section of the JS 44 is to be completed if diversity of citizenship was indicated above. Mark this
section for each principal party.

IV. Nature of Suit. Place an "X" in the appropriate box. If there are multiple nature of suit codes associated with the case, pick the nature of suit code
that is most applicable. Click here for: Nature of Suit Code Descriptions.

V. Origin. Place an "X" in one of the seven boxes.


Original Proceedings. (1) Cases which originate in the United States district courts.
Removed from State Court. (2) Proceedings initiated in state courts may be removed to the district courts under Title 28 U.S.C., Section 1441.
Remanded from Appellate Court. (3) Check this box for cases remanded to the district court for further action. Use the date of remand as the filing
date.
Reinstated or Reopened. (4) Check this box for cases reinstated or reopened in the district court. Use the reopening date as the filing date.
Transferred from Another District. (5) For cases transferred under Title 28 U.S.C. Section 1404(a). Do not use this for within district transfers or
multidistrict litigation transfers.
Multidistrict Litigation – Transfer. (6) Check this box when a multidistrict case is transferred into the district under authority of Title 28 U.S.C.
Section 1407.
Multidistrict Litigation – Direct File. (8) Check this box when a multidistrict case is filed in the same district as the Master MDL docket.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE IS NOT AN ORIGIN CODE 7. Origin Code 7 was used for historical records and is no longer relevant due to
changes in statue.

VI. Cause of Action. Report the civil statute directly related to the cause of action and give a brief description of the cause. Do not cite jurisdictional
statutes unless diversity. Example: U.S. Civil Statute: 47 USC 553 Brief Description: Unauthorized reception of cable service.

VII. Requested in Complaint. Class Action. Place an "X" in this box if you are filing a class action under Rule 23, F.R.Cv.P.
Demand. In this space enter the actual dollar amount being demanded or indicate other demand, such as a preliminary injunction.
Jury Demand. Check the appropriate box to indicate whether or not a jury is being demanded.

VIII. Related Cases. This section of the JS 44 is used to reference related pending cases, if any. If there are related pending cases, insert the docket
numbers and the corresponding judge names for such cases.

Date and Attorney Signature. Date and sign the civil cover sheet.
