Inaja Land Company Summary Inaja Land Company is a privately owned ranch in the Eastern Sierra region of

Northern California in Inyo County. The company consists of 25 member/owners each of whom have an equal share in the property’s stock. The property consists of over 2,000 acres of land including 1,200 deeded acres and over 800 acres of leased state land. The 1,200 deeded acres are primarily meadows complemented by 8 miles of Owens River flowing through. Rife with Brown and Rainbow Trout, the river provides secluded and accessible fishing. It is not uncommon to land a 2-3 pound trout or to catch a dozen or more fish on any given day. Less commonly, 5-7 pound trout can be caught as well. It is uncommon to have more than 2 or 3 fisherman on the river at any given time, giving an avid fisherman plenty of room to find solitude. The ranch follows standard California fishing regulations and additionally requires that all flies and lures be barbless to ensure a lower attrition rate on released catches.

The membership consists primarily of affluent fishermen some of whom acquired their membership through inheritance. The Board of Directors consists of 5 members who discuss general policy. There is an annual barbecue that all members are invited to attend to discuss ideas and policy involving the ranch including meadow and river maintenance as well as general improvements such as bridge upgrades and road improvements. Inaja Land Company largely finances its maintenance through an annual contract with LADWP in which riparian rights to irrigate the meadow to accommodate cattle are waived for an annual cost to LADWP. In addition to providing most of the funds required to maintain the property, this contract also ensures that livestock are not interfering with the quality of the land and river. As part of the maintenance, a herd of sheep is corralled in a portable fence that gets moved throughout the property to keep the meadow from becoming overgrown. The sheep cannot access the river and do not affect general recreation or fishing. The meadows adjacent to the Owens River on Inaja Land Company property have a 4’ wide mowed path through the tall grass near the river bank to allow for easy access for walking, fishing, or viewing wildlife.

Inaja Land Company is 18 miles by road (Owens River Road and Highway 395) to Mammoth Lakes, and 10 miles from Mammoth Regional Airport. The ranch is accessed off of 395 through 10 miles of dirt road that meanders through sage covered desert in the Long Valley Caldera. Nearby interests include Hot Springs, the Minarets, Convict Lake, Rock Creek, Mono Lake, June Lake and many packing and hiking trails in the Eastern Sierra Mountain range. Deer, rabbits, eagles, hawks and an abundance of other wildlife abound on the location. The northern boundary of the ranch consists of the White Mountain range where hiking and exploring can lead to the discovery of Native American artifacts and tools from centuries past.

The membership/ownership provides for 12 guest fishing days and 1 designee.

The “Designee” enjoys the same fishing rights as the member/owner and may fish the river in the same fashion as the owner. The owner must be present to grant fishing days to guests. Records kept on the ranch show that on any given day, an average of 2 people fish on the 8 miles of river that flow through the property.

Inaja Land Company sits at an elevation of 6,800 feet just north of Sherwin

Summit, providing a secluded retreat. With the nearest city to the west being Fresno, nearly 100 miles away and on the other side of the 14,000 foot Sierra peaks, Reno 150 miles north, and the antelope valley and Salt Lake City to the south and east, the remote location provides a nighttime sky in which the milky way as well as planets in the solar system are visible and ambient noise consists solely of the sound of the river and calls of wildlife.

To the west of Inaja Land Company lies the Eastern Sierra Mountain Range.

Mount Morrison, the Minarets and other Eastern Sierra Mountains are visible from the property. The unique view includes the White Mountains to the Northeast in addition to the sharp edges of the sierra to the south.

The ranch employs a full time property manager who resides on site year round and maintains the overall quality and infrastructure including bridge and road maintenance as well as freelance cabin maintenance and preventive upkeep.

The Inaja Land Company was established in 1928 and has historically had a very low turnover in membership. Most of the members have been so for 30 years or more and have acquired their ownership through inheritance. This property is highly secluded and visited infrequently by most of the owners, thus providing a quiet retreat unique in property ownership.

10. General Use (A) Members are to consider it their duty to ascertain in as tactful a manner as possible if persons hunting or fishing on the Company’s property, and not personally known to them, have the right to do so.

(C) In the event of the death of a member, it is recognized that unusual circumstances may exist during the settlement of the estate. In such an event, the deceased member’s widow, or the member of the family designated to share the membership with him, may make application to the Board of Directors for the waiver of any of these rules and regulations. If the Board of Directors deems such waiver to be reasonable and equitable it may in its discretion grant such waiver for a reasonable period of time. (D) The fishing season on the Company’s property shall be the season established by the California Department of Fish and Game, except that, if the Board of Directors believes it to be advisable in order to maintain good fishing on the Company’s property, said Board of Directors may establish a shorter fishing season. Members will be required to observe the season so established. 11. Enforcement of Rules And Regulations (A) The foregoing rules and regulations have been made and adopted by the Board of Directors in accordance with the provisions of Article V of the by-laws of the Inaja Land Co., Ltd., and are intended to maintain good fishing and otherwise provide maximum use and enjoyment of the Company’s property by the shareholders.

(B) In the event a member violates any of the rules and regulations, or engages in any conduct believed to be injurious to the best interests or welfare or character of the Company, any three members of the Board of Directors shall have the power to fine such member or suspend or revoke the rights and privileges of such member to fish and hunt and otherwise enter upon and enjoy the use of the Company’s property. (C) At any time within thirty (30) days after the member has been advised in writing of said fine, suspension or revocation, said member may, together with four (4) other members, by written request filed with the President or the Secretary, ask for a meeting of the stockholders of the Company for the purpose of appealing the decision of the Board of Directors. Such meeting shall be called within a reasonable period of time. The action of the Board in levying such fine, or imposing such suspension or revocation may be either sustained or overruled by a majority of the stockholders present at such meeting, providing a quorum is present, and for this purpose the owners of no fewer than two hundred sixty (260) shares of capital stock of the company shall constitute a quorum. 12. Legacy Members (A) Subject to the approval of the Board of Directors, a shareholder may designate a member of his or her immediate family to receive the fishing privileges and family member fishing privileges. This “legacy member” will be responsible for all dues and assessments as well as guest fees associated with the membership. The shareholder may become either the designee, or a family member, and will continue to be the registered owner of the Inaja stock with the voting rights. Each shareholder may have only one opportunity to designate a “legacy member”. Page 10
