Each Member agrees that any Member, any Affiliate or any director, officer, employee, partner, or other Person related to any Member may engage in or possess an interest in another business venture or ventures of any nature and description, independently or with others, including the ownership, financing, leasing, operation, management, syndication, brokerage, and of real property, and neither the Company nor the Members shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or to the income or profits derived therefrom, except as otherwise provided below in this Agreement.

2.11. Operations in Accordance With the Act; Ownership. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the Members and the administration, operation, and termination of the Company shall be governed by the Act. The interest of each Member in the Company shall be personal property for all purposes. All real and other property owned by the Company shall be deemed owned by the Company as a company, and no Member, individually, shall have any ownership interest in such property.

 

2.12. Right of Prudential to Make Additional Investments. The parties hereto acknowledge that Extra Space and/or its Affiliates continue to seek additional real properties in California (the “Region”) upon which Extra Space and/or Affiliates of Extra Space contemplate the development of self-storage facilities, either directly or indirectly through Extra Space or Affiliates of Extra Space. None of Extra Space or any of its Affiliates shall have the right to acquire, develop or otherwise make an investment in, directly or indirectly, any property located in the Region (each “a Property Investment”), except as permitted in this Section. Prior to making a Property Investment, Extra Space shall prepare and submit to Prudential for its review a complete Investment Package (as defined below). Within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as is approved by the Members) following Prudential’s receipt of an Investment Package, Prudential shall notify Extra Space of its approval or disapproval of the proposed Property Investment. If Prudential disapproves such proposed Property Investment, Extra Space shall be free to proceed to make such proposed Property Investment on substantially the terms presented to Prudential. If Prudential approves such proposed Property Investment, Extra Space and Prudential shall negotiate in good faith to enter (and, in the case of Extra Space, to cause its Affiliates to enter) into an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”). If Prudential fails to respond within such thirty (30) day (or

 

10


longer mutually agreed) period, Extra Space shall give Prudential notice of such failure, and such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed to be extended for an additional fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice. “Investment Package” shall mean a final, complete and accurate PREI Investment Committee book and all such backup thereto as is requested by Prudential. The initial term of this Section shall be for a period of two (2) years following the Effective Date. Thereafter, such term shall automatically renew for one (1) year periods so long as, for the two (2) immediately preceding years, Prudential approved not less than seventy percent (70%) in the aggregate of all Qualifying Property Investments (as defined below) to it presented by Extra Space. In all events the terms of this Section shall terminate and cease to be of any force or effect on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date. “Qualifying Property Investments” means proposed Property Investments 1) that Prudential disapproves other than due to environmental matters, 2) for which an Investment Package has been duly submitted to Prudential in accordance with the terms hereof and 3) that have characteristics similar to those investments previously approved by Prudential and made by Extra Space West One LLC, including as to location, design, construction, other physical factors, market assessment, rent and return projections, construction financing and development cost. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Extra Space shall not be obligated to present to Prudential any proposed investments in already-built properties and in no event shall any such property constitute a Qualifying Property Investment.

 

ARTICLE III - TERM

 

3.1. Term. Unless otherwise terminated or extended by mutual agreement of the Members, the term of the Company shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue until the first to occur of the following:

 

(a) December 31, 2054;

 

11


(b) Sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Property, other than to a nominee or trustee of the Company for financial or other business purposes;

 

(c) Dissolution of the Company pursuant to the express provisions of Articles 10, 11, 12, or 13; or

 

(d) The occurrence of any event or circumstance that would cause the dissolution of the Company under the Act, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE IV - CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE MEMBERS

 

4.1. Initial Capital Contributions of the Members. Each Member shall make capital contributions to the Company in accordance with the terms of each applicable Acquisition Agreement (for each Member, collectively, its “Initial Capital”). The amount of each Member’s Initial Capital shall be set forth on Exhibit B, as Exhibit B shall be updated by Prudential from time to time to reflect such capital contributions. To the extent such capital contributions are made in the form of property, Exhibit B sets forth the acknowledged and agreed fair market value of such property. The amount of cash and the fair market value of other property contributed by each Member from time to time, including upon acquisition by the Company of additional properties, shall be credited to such Member’s Capital Account. Initial Capital contributed pursuant to this Section shall, upon a Closing, be used to acquire the applicable Property under the applicable Acquisition Agreement and to repay indebtedness on such Property.

 

4.2. Intentionally Omitted.

 

12


4.3. No Other Contributions. Except as expressly required by this Article 4, neither Member shall have any obligation to make any contribution to the Company nor to advance any funds thereto.

 

4.4. No Interest Payable. No Member shall receive any interest on its contributions to the capital of the Company.

 

4.5. No Withdrawals. The capital of the Company shall not be withdrawn except as hereinafter expressly stipulated.

 

4.6. Shortfall Capital Contributions.

 

(a) If a Majority-in-Interest of Members, in its good faith business judgment, determines that the Company is in need of additional funding for (i) capital improvements, or (ii) payment of operating expenses and costs of the Company, a Majority-in-Interest of Members shall cause notice to be given to each of the Members (“Notice to Finance”) setting forth the purposes and amounts of such additional funding.

 

On the date which is twenty (20) days following the date (the “Financial Need Date”) upon which notice is given of affirmative action by a Majority-in-Interest of Members specifying the need for and the amount of capital improvements funds or funds needed to meet operating expenses or costs, or both, Prudential shall contribute to the Company, as additional capital, an amount equal to the total amount so determined multiplied by its Percentage Interest, and Extra Space shall contribute to the Company, as additional capital, an amount equal to the total amount so determined multiplied by its Percentage Interest. Any and all funds contributed as capital by a Member pursuant to this Section 4.6(a) shall constitute such Member’s “Shortfall Capital”.

 

13


(b) If a Member fails to contribute an amount equal to the entire amount required to be contributed by it on or before the date which is twenty (20) days after the Financial Need Date as provided in this Section 4.6 (the “Failing Member”), and if the other Member (the “Non-Failing Member”) makes its proportionate contribution within such twenty (20) day-period, so notifying the Failing Member in writing, and the Failing Member fails fully to remedy its failure to contribute within ten (10) days after the giving of a notice by the Non-Failing Member with respect to a failure under this Section (the “Notice of Intention”), then one (1) or more of the following may occur, at the option of the Non-Failing Member: (i) the Non-Failing Member may require the Company to repay immediately to the Non-Failing Member that percentage of the amount contributed by the Non-Failing Member pursuant to the relevant Notice to Finance that is equal to the percentage of the amount the Failing Member was required to fund pursuant to the relevant Notice to Finance but did not fund, together with interest actually earned thereon by the Company until repayment, if any; (ii) the Non-Failing Member may, but need not, make an additional capital contribution to the Company not in excess of the amount the Failing Member failed to contribute pursuant to Section 4.6(a) (which additional contribution, together with the original contribution made by the Non-Failing Member pursuant to this Section 4.6, shall constitute Shortfall Capital credited to the Non-Failing Member for all purposes of this Agreement), in which case the Non-Failing Member’s Percentage Interest in the Company shall be increased by that percentage as is represented by a fraction having as its numerator the amount of the additional capital contribution not made by the Failing Member pursuant to the applicable Notice to Finance and as its denominator the Failing Member’s Unreturned Capital, and the Failing

(b) A Majority-in-Interest of Members shall have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Company for allocating items of income, gain, and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code, and such election shall be binding on all Members. For federal tax purposes, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and any regulations thereunder, gain with respect to any property which may be contributed to the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company and the fair market value at the time of contribution. The Members acknowledge that all allocations of items of income, gain, and expenses as required by Section 704(c) of the Code associated with the property and other properties that may be contributed to the Company by Extra Space or an Affiliate in the future will be made in accordance with the “traditional method” as set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

In the event of and as a condition to any Transfer by Extra Space of all of its Entire Interest in the Company to Extra Space Storage, Inc., a Maryland corporation, or Extra Space Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, said Extra Space Storage, Inc., a Maryland corporation, or Extra Space Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, as applicable, shall become jointly and severally primarily liable for all obligations currently guaranteed by Extra Space, Woolley or any Affiliates of the foregoing for the benefit of Prudential.

 

10.2. Sales of Company Interests to Third Parties. If, at any time, either of the Members shall receive from a single third party (the “Offeror”) a bona fide offer (the “Offer”), in writing, signed by the Offeror setting forth all the material terms of the Offer for such Member’s entire equity interest in the Company (which shall include any and all Company interests held by

 

33


Persons that acquired their interests from such Member) (“Entire Interest”), including a statement and calculation of the cash value of any non-cash consideration to be delivered for all or any portion of the Entire Interest (the “Cash Value”), then the Member who shall have received such Offer (the “Receiving Member”) shall, if it wishes to accept the Offer, forward a true copy thereof to the other Member (the “Non-Receiving Member”), together with reasonable information as to the identity of the Offeror (e.g., its partners, members, directors, officers and controlling shareholders) and the terms of the Offer.

 

(a) In such event, the Non-Receiving Member may, within seventy-five (75) days after receiving a copy of the Offer from the Receiving Member, either

 

(1) notify the Receiving Member of the Non-Receiving Member’s intent to purchase the Receiving Member’s Entire Interest upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Offer except as to date, hour and place of closing and as otherwise provided below in this item (1). If the Offer proposes an acquisition of the Receiving Member’s Entire Interest for consideration that is in whole or in part other than cash, the Non-Receiving Member shall be entitled to purchase the Receiving Member’s Entire Interest for cash in an amount equal to the sum of any cash to have been paid pursuant to the Offer plus the Cash Value, if any. Notice of election to purchase shall be addressed to the Receiving Member and shall provide for the consummation of the transaction on the date set forth in the notice of acceptance, which date, subject to the terms of this Section below, shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the initial seventy-five (75) day period referenced in Section 10.2(a). Such notice shall also set forth the hour and place of closing which shall be in the offices of the seller’s counsel set forth in Section 15.1, during usual business hours; or

 

34


(2) notify the Receiving Member that the Non-Receiving Member does not elect to purchase the Receiving Member’s Entire Interest on the terms and conditions contained in the Offer.

 

If the Non-Receiving Member elects to purchase the Receiving Member’s Entire Interest in accordance with subsection (a)(l) of this Section 10.2, then the Receiving Member shall be obligated to sell and transfer its Entire Interest to the Non-Receiving Member in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer and notice of election provided for in subsection (a)(l).

 

(b) If the Non-Receiving Member does not exercise the aforesaid right to purchase, then the Receiving Member shall have the right to sell its Entire Interest to the party referenced at a price equal to not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of that set forth in the Offer.

 

(c) If the Non-Receiving Member does not exercise its rights under Section 10.2(a)(l), then, upon the assignment to the Offeror, the Offeror shall be admitted as a Member of the Company in place of the Receiving Member which shall have sold its interest. As a condition precedent to the foregoing, the Offeror shall execute and deliver an instrument, in substance and form satisfactory to the Non-Receiving Member, assuming and agreeing to perform the terms and conditions of this Agreement as provided in Section 10.3, and such other documents as the Non-Receiving Member may reasonably require in order to effectuate the foregoing.

 

(d) In connection with the sale of one Member’s Entire Interest to the other Member pursuant to this section, all of the provisions of Section 10.8 shall be applicable to such sale, except that for the purposes of this Section 10.2, the date the Non-Receiving Member receives a copy of the Offer from the Receiving Member shall be the governing

 

35


date referred to in Sections 10.8(e) and 10.8(f), rather than the date of giving of the notice of election or the Notice Date.

 

(e) Whether or not any transaction contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 is consummated pursuant to the provisions of the Offer and within the period provided in Section 10.2(b), all the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall apply to any subsequent offer or offers of a Member’s Entire Interest or to any sale of a Member’s Entire Interest which is not consummated within such period.

 

10.3. Assumption by Assignee. Any assignment of an Entire Interest in the Company permitted under this Article 10 shall be in writing, and shall be an assignment and transfer of all of the assignor’s rights and obligations hereunder, and the assignee shall expressly agree in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and assume and agree to perform all of the assignor’s agreements and obligations existing or arising at the time of and subsequent to such assignment. Upon any such permitted assignment of the assignor’s Entire Interest, and after such assumption, the assignor shall be relieved of its agreements and obligations hereunder arising after such assignment, and the assignee shall become a Member in place of the assignor. An executed counterpart of each such assignment of a Entire Interest in the Company and assumption of a Member’s obligations shall be delivered to each Member and to the Company. The assignee shall pay all expenses incurred by the Company in admitting the assignee as a Member. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no permitted assignment shall terminate the Company.

 

As a condition to any assignment of an Entire Interest, the selling Member shall obtain such consents as may be required from third parties, if any, or waivers thereof. The other Member shall cooperate with the selling Member in obtaining such consents or waivers.

 

36


10.4. Amendment of Certificate of Formation. If an assignment of an Entire Interest in the Company shall take place pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10, then unless the Company is dissolved by such assignment, the continuing Members promptly thereafter shall cause to be filed, to the extent necessary, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Formation with all applicable state authorities, together with any necessary amendments to the fictitious or assumed name(s) of the Company in order to reflect such change or take such similar action as may be required.

 

10.5. Other Assignments Void.

 

(a) Any purported Transfer not otherwise expressly permitted by this Article 10 shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

 

(b) Extra Space, any holder of a direct or indirect interest in Extra Space (including without limitation Extra Space Storage Inc. and Extra Space Storage LP) and any Transferee of all or any portion of the Entire Interest of Extra Space shall have the right, without the prior consent of Prudential, to cause the issuance or Transfer of equity interests in Extra Space or any such holder, and to permit assignments of all or any portion of the Entire Interest to Persons who at any time are equity interest holders in Extra Space or in any member in Extra Space, and any of the foregoing shall be Transfers permitted under this Article 10, and Extra Space shall not be required to obtain the consent of, nor offer all or any portion of its interest in the Company or such other interest in Extra Space Storage, Inc. or Extra Space Storage L.P. to be Transferred to Prudential in connection with any of the foregoing.

 

(c) Extra Space and members in Extra Space shall also have the right, in order to raise funds for Extra Space to meet its capital contribution obligations as set forth in

 

37


this Agreement to incur indebtedness secured by all or any portion of Extra Space’s interest in the Company or such member’s interest in Extra Space Storage LLC, provided, however, that if, as a result of Extra Space’s or such member’s default under any such indebtedness, a party succeeds to ownership of, or gains any rights in, all or any portion of Extra Space’s interest in the Company or such member’s interest in Extra Space, Prudential shall have the exclusive right and authority to act for and make decisions on behalf of, the Company, and any and all provisions of this Agreement requiring the unanimous consent of the Members for any action or vote of or by all of the Members shall become immediately null and void.

 

10.6. Right to Cause Sale of Property.

 

(a) Prudential may, at any time, require the sale or other transfer by the Company of all or any portion of the Property (the Property designated by Prudential for sale or other transfer, collectively, the “10.6 Sale Property”).

 

(b) At any time when all or any portion of the Property is being actively marketed pursuant to this Section 10.6, (i) Extra Space’s right to sell its Entire Interest pursuant to the terms of Section 10.2 or exercise its rights under Section 10.7 shall be suspended, and (ii) Extra Space shall suspend all marketing efforts or negotiations which may have been commenced with respect to a sale of its Entire Interest.

 

(c) Prior to the exercise of its right as set forth in Section 10.6(a), Prudential must give notice (the “Sale Notice”) to Extra Space of (i) Prudential’s intention to request the sale of the 10.6 Sale Property at a specified price (the “Stated Price”), and (ii) (A) if the 10.6 Sale Property consists of all of the Property, offering to sell its Entire Interest in the Company to Extra Space for the amount that would be distributable to Prudential

 

38


under this Agreement if all of the Property were sold for the Stated Price and on all other relevant terms and conditions, or (B) if the 10.6 Sale Property consists of less than all of the Property, offering to cause the Company to sell the 10.6 Sale Property to Extra Space for the Stated Price and on all other relevant terms and conditions.

 

(d) If Prudential has delivered the Sale Notice to Extra Space, Extra Space may, within seventy-five (75) days after receiving a copy of the Sale Notice, elect one (1) of the two (2) following options:

 

(i) If the 10.6 Sale Property consists of less than all of the Property, (A) notify Prudential that Extra Space has no objection to Prudential selling the 10.6 Sale Property, in which event Prudential may cause the Company to market with real estate brokers selected by Prudential and sell the 10.6 Sale Property, provided that the price obtained for the 10.6 Sale Property is at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the Stated Price and a purchase and sale or similar agreement for the sale or transfer of the 10.6 Sale Property is entered into within one hundred eighty (180) days of Prudential’s receipt of Extra Space’s notification under this Section 10.6(d)(i)(A). If a purchase and sale or similar agreement for such sale or transfer is not entered into within such one hundred eighty (180) day-period, the terms of Sections 10.6(c) and (d) shall again be applicable; or (B) notify Prudential that Extra Space elects to purchase all of the 10.6 Sale Property on the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notice; or

 

(ii) if the 10.6 Sale Property consists of all of the Property, (A) notify Prudential of Extra Space’s election to purchase Prudential’s Entire Interest upon the same terms and conditions contained in the Sale Notice (which, as to price, means an amount equal to the sum that would be distributable to Prudential under the provisions of

 

39


Section 9.3(b) hereof upon the sale, by the Company, of the Property for the Stated Price), or (B) notify Prudential that Extra Space has no objection to Prudential selling the Property, in which event Prudential may cause the Company to market and sell the Property with real estate brokers selected by Prudential, provided that the price obtained for the Property is at least ninety-five (95%) of the Stated Price and a purchase and sale or similar agreement for the sale or transfer of the Property is entered into within one hundred eighty (180) days of Prudential’s receipt of Extra Space’s notification under this Section 10.6(d)(ii).

 

A notification by Extra Space electing to purchase the 10.6 Sale Property or Prudential’s Entire Interest under this Section 10.6 shall be accompanied by a deposit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount payable in connection with the applicable purchase pursuant to this Section 10.6(d) (such amount, together with any interest earned thereon, being hereinafter called the “Other Member’s Deposit”), which shall be refundable at the direction of Extra Space until the date which is the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after Extra Space’s notification to Prudential, or (ii) execution of a purchase and sale agreement. Notice of election to purchase shall be addressed to Prudential and shall set forth the hour and place of closing which, unless the Members shall otherwise agree, shall be at the office of counsel to Prudential, during usual business hours within thirty (30) days after the date of the giving of the notice of election to Prudential, subject to the terms of this Section below. The Other Member’s Deposit shall be credited against the total purchase price for the Entire Interest being purchased pursuant to this Section 10.6(d); provided, however, that, if the closing shall fail to occur because of a default by the Other Member, subject to the provisions of Section 10.6(d)(ii)

 

40


above concerning refundability of the Other Member’s Deposit, Prudential shall have the right to retain the Other Member’s Deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance Prudential’s actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. If Extra Space shall not have given notice to Prudential of its election to purchase the 10.6 Sale Property or to purchase Prudential’s Entire Interest within the applicable notice period provided above, Extra Space shall be deemed to have exercised the option provided in Section 10.6(d)(i)(A) or Section 10.6(d)(ii)(B), as the case may be. If a purchase and sale agreement to be entered into under Section 10.6(d) by Extra Space with respect to a sale to Extra Space of the 10.6 Sale Property or Prudential’s Entire Interest is, despite the parties’ good faith negotiations, not entered into on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day following Extra Space’s notification to Prudential, Extra Space shall be entitled to a return of the Other Member’s Deposit, and Prudential shall have the right to cause a sale of the 10.6 Sale Property in accordance with the terms of Section 10.6(d)(i)(A) or 10.6(d)(ii)(B), whichever is applicable.

 

(e) In connection with the sale of one Member’s Entire Interest to the Other Member pursuant to this Section 10.6, the provisions of Section 10.8, inclusive, shall be applicable to such sale, except that for the purposes of this Section 10.6, the date Extra Space receives a copy of the Sale Notice from Prudential shall be the governing date referred to in Sections 10.8(d) and (e), rather than the date of the notice of election or the Notice Date.

 

(f) Whether or not any transaction contemplated by the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.6 is consummated pursuant to the provisions of the Sale Notice, all the provisions of this Section 10.6 shall apply to any subsequent exercise by Prudential of its

 

41


rights under this Section and to any material modification to the Sale Notice, including a reduction in the Stated Price of more than five percent (5%).

 

10.7. Buy-Sell.

 

(a) At any time after the date hereof, either Member may make an offer (i) to purchase the other Member’s Entire Interest or to sell its Entire Interest to the other Member, or (ii) to purchase one (1) or more components of the Property (collectively, the “10.7 Sale Property”) or to cause the Company to sell the 10.7 Sale Property to the Other Member (as defined below), in each case for a purchase price determined in accordance with Section 10.8, which shall be payable in cash at the closing of any such transaction and on such other arms length terms as such Member (the “Proposer”) may propose in a notice (the “Sale Proposal”) to the other Member (the “Other Member”). The Sale Proposal shall state a value (the “10.7 Stated Amount”) for the Property, if a Member’s Entire Interest is being sold, or for the 10.7 Sale Property if the 10.7 Sale Property is to be sold.

 

(b) Within seventy-five (75) days after receiving a copy of the Sale Proposal, the Other Member shall notify the Proposer:

 

(i) that the Other Member is agreeable to the sale of its Entire Interest to the Proposer or the sale of the 10.7 Sale Property to the Proposer, as the case may be, in accordance with the terms set forth in the Sale Proposal and for the price determined pursuant to Section 10.8; and/or

 

(ii) that the Other Member elects to purchase (A) the Entire Interest of the Proposer in accordance with the terms set forth in the Sale Proposal and for the price determined in accordance with Section 10.8, or (B) to purchase the 10.7 Sale Property in

 

42


accordance with the terms set forth in the Sale Proposal and for the price determined in accordance with Section 10.8. Such notification shall be accompanied by a deposit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount payable in connection with such purchase pursuant to this Section 10.7(b)(ii) (such amount, together with any interest earned thereon, being hereinafter called the “Other Member’s Buy-Sell Deposit”), which shall be refundable at the direction of the Other Member until the date which is the earlier of (i) forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Proposer of the Other Member’s notification under this Section 10.7(b)(ii), or (ii) execution of a purchase and sale agreement. The parties agree to negotiate a purchase and sale agreement in good faith, and such purchase and sale agreement shall be prepared by counsel to Prudential. Notice of election to purchase shall be addressed to the Proposer and shall set forth the place of closing which, unless the Members shall otherwise agree, shall be at the offices of counsel to the Proposer, during usual business hours within thirty (30) days after the date of the giving of the notice of election under this Section 10.7(b)(ii) to the Proposer, subject to the terms of this Section below. The Other Member’s Buy-Sell Deposit shall be credited against the total purchase price for the Entire Interest or the 10.7 Sale Property being purchased pursuant to this Section 10.7(b)(ii); provided, however, that, if the closing shall fail to occur because of a default by the Other Member, subject to the provisions of Section 10.7(b)(ii) above concerning refundability of the Other Member’s Buy-Sell Deposit, the Proposer shall have the right to retain the Other Member’s Buy-Sell Deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance the Proposer’s actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain.

 

43


(c) The purchase and sale of an Entire Interest or the 10.7 Sale Property pursuant to Section 10.7(b)(i) or (ii) shall take place during normal business hours. Failure of the Other Member to respond to the Sale Proposal within the seventy-five (75) day period referenced in Section 10.7(b) shall be deemed an election to sell its Entire Interest or permit the sale of the 10.7 Sale Property to the Proposer, as the case may be, under Section 10.7(b)(i).

 

10.8. Provisions Generally Applicable to Sales. The following provisions shall be applicable to sales under Sections 10.2, 10.6, 10.7 and/or 13.2, as indicated:

 

(a) If, under the provisions of Section 10.7, either party (the “Offering Party”) makes an offer (the “10.7 Offer”) to the other party (the “Other Party”) to purchase the Other Party’s Entire Interest or to sell its own Entire Interest, the purchase price (1) payable by the Offering Party to the Other Party, if the Other Party exercises its election to sell its Entire Interest to the Offering Party or (2) payable by the Other Party to the Offering Party, if the Other Party exercises its election to purchase the Entire Interest of the Offering Party, as the case may be, shall be determined as follows:

 

(i) In the event this Section 10.8(a) is triggered in the context of a sale of an Entire Interest under Section 10.7, there shall be determined the total amount which would have been available for distribution by the Company under Section 9.3(b) after payment of debts, liabilities, and expenses under Section 13.5 (a), (b), and (c) to all of the Members if the Property were sold for the 10.7 Stated Amount. The amount which would have been distributable to the Offering Party under Section 9.3 if all of the Company’s Property had been sold for an amount equal to the 10.7 Stated Amount after payment of all debts, liabilities, and expenses of the Company referenced above equals the purchase price for the Offering Party’s Entire Interest, and

 

44


such amount which would have been distributable to the Other Party equals the purchase price for the Entire Interest of the Other Party; and

 

(ii) In the event this Section 10.8(a) is triggered in the context of a sale of 10.7 Sale Property, the purchase price payable to the Company for the 10.7 Stated Property shall be equal to the 10.7 Stated Amount, and such sale shall constitute a Major Capital Event.

 

(b) For purposes of any sale of an Entire Interest of a Member, the purchase price associated with any such sale shall be adjusted to reflect assets and liabilities of the Company not reflected in the Company’s financial statements available to all Members at the time of the notice of election (the “Notice Date”). The purchase price, as so adjusted, shall be determined ten (10) Business Days prior to closing and shall be subject to such post-closing adjustments as the circumstances may require. The purchase price, as so adjusted, shall be paid, at the selling Member’s option, in cash, by certified check drawn to the order of the selling Member, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the seller’s account. All prorations of real estate taxes, rents, and other items to be prorated shall be made as of the date of sale. All transfer taxes, title insurance policies, surveys, and recording fees shall be paid for by the party usually charged with such payment under local custom.

 

(c) Intentionally Omitted.

 

(d) On payment of the purchase price for an Entire Interest, the purchasing Member shall, at its option, either (i) obtain a release of the selling Member from all liability, direct or contingent, by all holders of all Company debts, obligations, or claims against the Company for which either Member is or may be personally liable except for any debts, obligations, or claims which are fully insured by public liability insurer(s)

 

45


acceptable to the selling Member, (ii) cause all such debts, obligations, or claims to be paid in full at the closing, or (iii) deliver to the selling Member an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the selling Member to defend, indemnify, and save the selling Member harmless from any actions, claims, or loss arising from any debt, obligation, or claim of the Company arising prior to date of sale.

 

(e) Both Members (including the selling Member) shall be entitled to any distributions of Operating Cash Flow from the Company following the giving of the notice of election and until the closing.

 

(f) If any Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, or if any entity possessing the right of eminent domain shall give notice of an intention to take or acquire a substantial part of any Property, then the purchasing Member shall be required to complete the applicable transaction and accept an assignment of the insurance or condemnation proceeds.

 

(g) At the closing of the sale of the Entire Interest of a Member, the selling Member shall execute an assignment of its Entire Interest free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and adverse claims, which assignment shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchasing Member, and such other instruments as the purchasing Member shall reasonably require to assign the Entire Interest of the selling Member to such Person as the purchasing Member may designate. For any sale or transfer under this Article 10, the purchasing Member may designate the assignee of the Entire Interest, which assignee need not be an Affiliate of the purchasing Member, subject to the other Member’s reasonable consent. In addition, if requested by the purchasing Member, the selling Member shall deliver a quitclaim deed and bill of sale to

 

46


the purchaser of its interest in all assets of the Company. The deed, in recordable form, and bill of sale shall be prepared by the purchasing Member.

 

(h) Intentionally Omitted.

 

(i) It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the requirements or obligations, if any, of one Member to sell its Entire Interest to the other Member shall be enforceable by an action for specific performance of a contract relating to the purchase of real property or an interest therein. In the event that the selling Member shall have created or suffered any unauthorized liens, encumbrances, or other adverse interests against either the Property or the selling Member’s interest in the Company, the purchasing Member shall be entitled either to an action for specific performance to compel the selling Member to have such defects removed, in which case the closing shall be adjourned for such purpose, or, at the purchasing Member’s option, to an appropriate offset against the purchase price, which offset shall include all reasonable costs associated with enforcement of this Section.

 

(j) At the election of the purchasing Member, the purchase and sale of an Entire Interest will be structured to avoid, if possible, a termination of the Company for Federal tax purposes and/or under the Act.

 

10.9. Compliance with ERISA and State Statutes on Governmental Plans.

 

(a) Not less than five (5) Business Days before each transfer of a direct or indirect interest in Extra Space to an Affiliate, and not less than ten (10) Business Days before each transfer of a direct or indirect interest in Extra Space to a non-Affiliate, Extra Space shall cause the proposed transferee to deliver to Prudential a certification in

 

47


substantially the form of Exhibit C-l attached hereto. Nothing in this item (a) shall be construed to permit any transfer not expressly permitted under Section 10.1.

 

(b) (1) Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1; and

 

(2) Prudential shall deliver to Extra Space a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2 attached hereto and made a part hereof on the closing or consummation of each of the following transactions:

 

(y) a decrease in a Member’s Percentage Interest; and

 

(z) a sale pursuant to Section 10.2.

 

(c) (1) If Extra Space proposes to sell its Entire Interest pursuant to Section 10.2, Extra Space shall cause the Offeror to deliver to Prudential a certification in the form set forth in Exhibit C-1 at the same time that Extra Space forwards a true copy of the Offer to Prudential.

 

(2) If within the time provided in Section 10.2(a) for Prudential’s response to the Offer, Prudential notifies Extra Space, in writing, that Extra Space’s sale to the Offeror would be a Plan Violation (such notice to specify the alleged Plan Violation), then Prudential is not required to respond to the Offer and Extra Space shall not sell its Entire Interest to the Offeror.

 

(3) If Prudential does not give notice in accordance with Section 10.2(a),and:

 

(A) Extra Space sells its Entire Interest to the Offeror, then, at the closing of the sale, (i) Extra Space shall cause the Offeror to deliver to Prudential a

 

48


certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1. and (ii) Prudential shall deliver to the Offeror a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2; or

 

(B) Extra Space sells its Entire Interest to Prudential, then, at the closing of the sale, (i) Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1, and (ii) Prudential shall deliver to Extra Space a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2.

 

(d) If there is a proposed sale of the Property pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.6, and either Prudential or Extra Space buys the Property, then, at the closing of the sale, Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1, and (2) Prudential shall deliver to Extra Space a certification in substantially the form of Exhibit C-2.

 

(e) Anything else in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, Prudential shall have up to thirty (30) days following the receipt by it of a certification by Extra Space or a proposed transferee provided for in this Section 10.9 to notify Extra Space that it has determined that a proposed transfer by Extra Space of its Entire Interest or a proposed transfer of the Property would result in a transfer to a Person other than an Acceptable Person and/or in a Plan Violation. If Prudential notifies Extra Space (in writing) that any such proposed transaction would constitute a Plan Violation (which notification shall contain an explanation of the reasons for such determination), the proposed transaction shall not be consummated and any attempt to do so shall be void. If, within such thirty (30)-day period, Prudential notifies Extra Space that it has determined that no Plan Violation will result from the proposed transaction, or if Prudential does not deliver any notification to Extra Space within such thirty (30)-day

 

49


period, then the proposed transaction may be consummated; provided, however, that such transaction must be consummated no later than (i) the twentieth (20th) day after the delivery to Extra Space by Prudential of a notice that it has determined that the proposed transaction will not result in a Plan Violation or the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period referred to in this Section 10.9(e), as the case may be, or (ii) if Sections 10.2 or 10.6 (as applicable) of this Agreement provides for a closing that is later than such twenty (20)-day period, the latest day that such Section permits such closing to occur; and provided, further, that, in the event that any certification by Extra Space or a proposed transferee contains a material misrepresentation or omission, then, in such event, notwithstanding Prudential’s lack of objection or deemed lack of objection thereto, the proposed transaction shall not be consummated and, if it is consummated, such transaction shall be void. Each

 

(1) breach of representation or warranty given in connection with this Section 10.9, and

 

(2) violation of this Section 10.9, or of any other provision of this Agreement or the Acquisition Agreement relating to ERISA, Governmental Plans or Plan Violations will constitute a default entitling the Nondefaulting Member to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1(c) hereof,

 

(f) Extra Space shall indemnify Prudential and defend and hold Prudential harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage and expense that Prudential may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a (i) default by Extra Space under this Section 10.9, or (ii) a breach of a representation or warranty given by Extra Space under this Section 10.9, or (iii) any material misstatement or omission in a certification by Extra Space or

 

50


proposed transferee of Extra Space which is given to Prudential pursuant to this Section 10.9. The liability, excise taxes, penalties, interest, loss, cost, damage and expense will include, without limitation, attorney’s fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and losses incurred in

 

(1) correcting any Plan Violation,

 

(2) the sale of a prohibited Company interest, or

 

(3) obtaining any individual exemption for a Plan Violation that may be required, in Prudential’s sole discretion. This indemnity shall survive (x) the sale of the Property or of Extra Space’s Entire Interest and (y) termination of this Agreement.

 

(g) The Company will not enter into any agreements, or suffer any conditions, that Prudential determines, in its reasonable judgment, would result in a Plan Violation. At Extra Space’s request, Prudential shall deliver a notice of each such determination to Extra Space together with an explanation of the reasons for the determination.

 

(h) Prudential and Extra Space will cooperate to discover and correct Plan Violations.

 

ARTICLE XI - DISSOLUTION OR BANKRUPTCY OF A MEMBER

 

11.1. Dissolution. If either Member shall be dissolved, then, unless such dissolution is agreed to by the consent of the other Member, it shall terminate such dissolving Member’s continued membership in the Company and shall, at the option of the other Member, cause the dissolution of the Company, and the other Member shall be the Liquidating Member.

 

11.2. Bankruptcy, etc. In the event:

 

(a) Neither Member shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or seek any

 

51


reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief for itself under the present or any future Federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable Federal, state, or other statute or law relative to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator of said Member or its interest in the Company (the term “acquiesce” includes but is not limited to the failure to file a petition or motion to vacate or discharge any order, judgment or decree providing for such appointment within ten (10) days after the appointment);

 

(b) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against either Member seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under the present or any future Federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable Federal, state, or other statute or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, and said Member shall acquiesce in the entry for such order, judgment, or decree (the term “acquiesce” includes but is not limited to the failure to file a petition or motion to vacate or discharge such order, judgment, or decree within ten (10) days after the entry of the order, judgment, or decree) or such order, judgment, or decree shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive) from the date of entry thereof, or any trustee, receiver, conservator, or liquidator of such Member or of all or any substantial part of such Member’s property or its interest in the Company shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of said Member and such appointment shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive);

 

52


(c) either Member shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature;

 

(d) either Member shall give notice to any governmental body of insolvency, or pending insolvency, or suspension or pending suspension of operations; or

 

(e) either Member shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or take any other similar action for the protection or benefit of creditors;

 

then, unless otherwise agreed to by the consent of the other Member, any such event described in Sections 11.2(a) through (e) shall terminate such bankrupt or insolvent Member’s continued membership in the Company and shall cause the dissolution of the Company and the other Member shall be the Liquidating Member.

 

11.3. Reconstitution. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1 and 11.2, the remaining Member(s) may, within ninety (90) days of any event described in this Article 11, agree by unanimous consent to (1) continue the Company or (2) transfer the assets of the Company to a newly organized corporation, limited liability company, or partnership and accept stock in the corporation or interests in the limited liability company, or partnership in exact proportion to their respective interests in the Company at the time of dissolution, provided that at the time the event described in this Article 11 occurs, the Company has at least one (1) continuing Member. An appropriate amendment to or cancellation of the Certificate of Formation and all other filings required by law shall be made in accordance with any action taken pursuant to this Section 11.3.

 

11.4. Payment to Former Member. In the event a Member’s continued membership in the Company is terminated as the result of any event described in this Article 11 and the other Member elects to reconstitute the Company in accordance with Section 11.3 hereof, then any

 

53


such terminating event shall be deemed a resignation under Section 18-603 of the Act. After the date of such event giving rise to the termination of a Member’s interest, the terminated Member shall no longer be entitled to distributions of the Company during the Company’s operations and shall only be entitled to a distribution in payment of its membership interest upon the dissolution and winding up of the Company in accordance with Section 13.5 hereof.

 

ARTICLE XII - DEFAULT

 

12.1. Defaults. After the Effective Date, if either Member or its Affiliate fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder or breaches any of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Agreement other than to make contributions of Shortfall Capital, then the other Member (“Nondefaulting Member”) shall have the right to give the Member that is itself, or whose Affiliate is, in default (the “Defaulting Member”) a notice of default (the “Notice of Default”). The Notice of Default shall set forth the nature of the obligation which the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable) has not performed.

 

(a) If such default is not curable by the payment or expenditure of money and if, within the thirty (30) day-period following receipt of the Notice of Default, the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable) in good faith commences to perform such obligation and cure such default and thereafter prosecutes to completion with diligence and continuity the curing thereof and cures such default within a reasonable time but in no event later than ninety (90) days following receipt of such Notice of Default, then it shall be deemed that the Notice of Default was not given and the Defaulting Member shall lose no rights hereunder. If, within such thirty (30) day-period, the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable) does not commence in good faith the curing of such default or does not thereafter prosecute to completion with diligence

 

54


and continuity the curing thereof within the time period provided above, then the Nondefaulting Member shall have the rights set forth in Section 12.1(c).

 

(b) If such default is curable by the payment or expenditure of money, but is other than a default described in Section 4.6, and if such sums of money shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Notice of Default with respect thereto, then it shall be deemed that such Notice of Default was not given and the Defaulting Member shall lose no rights hereunder. If such sums are not so paid within such fifteen (15) day-period, then the Nondefaulting Member shall have the rights set forth in Section 12.1(c) in addition to the rights under Section 4.6 (to the extent applicable).

 

(c) If any default is not cured as set forth in Sections 12.1(a) or 12.1(b), the Nondefaulting Member shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving the Defaulting Member notice thereof, whereupon such default may be treated by the Nondefaulting Member as a dissolution of the Company, and the Nondefaulting Member shall be the “Liquidating Member”.

 

Failure by a Nondefaulting Member to give any notice of a default as specified herein, or any failure to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any such breach or any of the terms of this Agreement. No breach shall be waived nor shall any duty to be performed be altered or modified except by written instrument. One (1) or more waivers or failure to give notice of default shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent or continuing breach of the same covenant.

 

12.2. Negation of Right to Dissolve by Will of Member. Except as set forth in Section 6.1, Articles 10 and 11 and in Section 12.1, neither Member shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or dissolve the Company by its express will or by withdrawal without the consent of

 

55


the other Member. Upon any dissolution occurring by operation of law or caused by the express will or withdrawal of one of the Members in contravention of this Agreement, the Member not causing the dissolution shall be the Liquidating Member.

 

12.3. Non-Exclusive Remedy. The rights granted in Section 12.1 shall not be deemed an exclusive remedy of the Nondefaulting Member, but all other rights and remedies, legal and equitable, shall be available to it.

 

12.4. Intentionally Omitted.

 

12.5. Waiver or Right of Partition. The Members agree that each part of the Property is an integrated unit and it would be unfeasible and detrimental to the Property to have it partitioned. Therefore each Member does hereby waive any claim or right to petition any court for partition of the Property.

 

ARTICLE XIII - DISSOLUTION

 

13.1. Winding Up by Members. Upon dissolution of the Company by expiration of the term hereof, by operation of law, by any provision of this Agreement, or by agreement between the Members, the Company’s business shall be wound up and all its assets distributed in liquidation. In such dissolution, except as otherwise expressly provided in Articles 10, 11 and 12, the Members shall be co-Liquidating Members. In such event the Members shall have rights to wind up the Company and shall proceed to cause the Company’s property to be sold and to distribute the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 13.5. Except in respect of (i) all assets on which a single, non-severable mortgage or other lien will be in effect after such distribution, and (ii) any assets which the Members shall determine are not readily severable or distributable in kind, the Members, to the extent that liquidation of such assets is not required to fulfill the

 

56


payments, if any, under subsections (a), (b), (c), and (d) of Section 13.5, shall, if they agree, have the right to distribute, in kind, all or a portion of the assets of the Company to the Members.

 

13.2. Winding Up by Liquidating Member.

 

(a) In a dissolution pursuant to either Section 4.6(b)(iii)(y) or Articles 9, 10, 11, or 12, the Liquidating Member shall be as therein provided and such Liquidating Member shall have the right to:

 

(i) Wind up the Company and cause the Company’s assets to be sold and the proceeds of sale distributed as provided in Section 13.5; or

 

(ii) Cause the assets of the Company to be appraised in accordance with Section 13.2(b) and at its option, purchase the Entire Interest of the other Member in accordance with Section 13.2(b).

 

(b) (i) The Liquidating Member within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the dissolution of the Company or the Non-Failing Member at any time during the period set forth in Section 4.6 (such Member giving the notice being referred to herein as the “Electing Member”) may give notice (the “Appraisal Notice”) to the other Member electing to have the Fair Market Value of the Company’s assets determined by appraisal pursuant to Section 13.2(b)(ii). The fees and expenses of such appraisers shall be borne by the Company. The Electing Member shall have the option, by notice given to the other Member within seventy-five (75) days after receipt of the determination of “Fair Market Value” pursuant to Section 13.2(b)(ii), to purchase the other Member’s Entire Interest at a price equal to the amount which would have been distributable to the other Member in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3(b) if all of the Company’s assets had been sold for an amount equal to such appraised value

 

57


and any debts, liabilities, and expenses which would have been payable by the Company pursuant to Section 13.5 out of the proceeds of such sale were deducted in determining the appraised value. Such option may be exercised by the Electing Member within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the determination of “Fair Market Value” pursuant to Section 13.2(b)(ii) by notice to the other Member. If, after the receipt of the determination of “Fair Market Value” pursuant to Section 13.2(b)(ii), the Electing Member elects not to exercise the option to purchase the other Member’s Entire Interest pursuant to this Section, then the Electing Member shall have all of its rights under Section 4.6 or this Section 13.2, as applicable, as if the Appraisal Notice had not been given. All of the provisions of Section 10.8 shall apply to a purchase under this Section 13.2(b), except that for the purposes of this Section 13.2(b), any adjustments required pursuant to Section 10.8 shall be applicable to any events and/or liabilities or income which were not included in determining the Fair Market Value.

 

(ii) If the fair market value (the “Fair Market Value”) of the assets of the Company is required for purposes of Section 13.2 (b)(i), such Fair Market Value, if not otherwise agreed upon by the Members, shall be determined as set forth in this Section 13.2(b)(ii). All appraisers referred to herein shall be real estate appraisers which are members of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers and shall not be Affiliates of Prudential. As used herein, “Fair Market Value” is the fair market value of all the assets of the Company. Each Member shall select one (1) appraiser. In the event that either party fails to select an appraiser within thirty (30) days after notice of the exercise of an option or election requiring a valuation, then such party’s appraiser shall be selected by the other party from a list of no fewer than five (5) appraisers compiled

 

58


and maintained by a Majority-in-Interest of Members (the “List”). After the selection, each appraiser shall independently determine the gross fair market value of the assets of the Company. If the separate appraisals differ by an amount equal to less than ten percent (10%) of the average of the two (2), the average of such two (2) appraisals shall constitute the Fair Market Value. If the separate appraisals differ by more than such amount, the Members shall have a period of ten (10) days after receipt of the appraisals to agree on the Fair Market Value. In the event the Members cannot agree on the Fair Market Value in accordance with the preceding sentence, the two (2) appraisers referred to above shall, within ten (10) days after the expiration of the ten (10) day-period described in the preceding sentence, select a third (3rd) appraiser. In the absence of such a selection, the third (3rd) appraiser shall be appointed by the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers. The third (3rd) appraiser shall decide which of the two (2) appraisals established by the appraisers in accordance with this Section constitutes the Fair Market Value, and such decision shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.

 

13.3. Offset for Damages. In the event of dissolution resulting from an event described in Article 11 or 12, the Liquidating Member shall be entitled to deduct from the amount payable to the other Member pursuant to Section 13.2(a) or (b), Section 13.4, or Section 13.5, the amount of damages incurred by the Liquidating Member proximately resulting from any such event.

 

13.4. Distributions of Operating Cash Flow. Subject to Section 13.5 hereof as to proceeds of liquidation, upon the dissolution of the Company for any reason during the period of liquidation and until termination of the Company, the Members shall continue to receive the Operating Cash Flow and to share profits and losses for all tax and other purposes as provided elsewhere in this Agreement.

 

59


13.5. Distributions of Proceeds of Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 13.5, “proceeds of liquidation” shall equal cash available for liquidation, net of liens secured by the Property, provided that neither the Company nor either of the Members shall be personally liable on, or they shall be released from, such debts. The proceeds of liquidation shall be applied in the following order of priority:

 

(a) First. To the payment of:

 

(1) debts and liabilities of the Company that may have been made by either of the Members to the Company, and

 

(2) expenses of liquidation.

 

(b) Second. To the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, may deem necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of both of the Members arising out of or in connection with the Company. Such reserves may be deposited by the Company in a bank or trust company acceptable to the Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, to be held by it for the purpose of disbursing such reserves in payment of any of the aforementioned liabilities or obligations, and at the expiration of such period as the Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, shall deem advisable, distributing the balance, if any, thereafter remaining, in a manner hereinafter provided.

 

(c) Third. To the Members in accordance with Section 9.3(b).

 

13.6. Orderly Liquidation. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the losses normally attendant upon a liquidation.

 

60


13.7. Financial Statements. During the period of winding up, the Company’s then independent certified public accountants shall prepare and furnish to each of the Members, until complete liquidation is accomplished, all the financial statements provided for in Section 7.1.

 

13.8. Restoration of Deficit Capital Accounts. At no time during the term of the Company shall a Member with a deficit balance in its Capital Account have any obligation to the Company or to another Member or to any other Person to restore such deficit balance.

 

ARTICLE XIV - MEMBERS

 

14.1. Liability. A Member shall not be personally liable for the debts, liabilities, or obligations of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member will be liable for any distributions made to it, if, after such distribution, the outstanding liabilities of the Company (other than liabilities to Members on account of their interests in the Company and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific Company property) exceed the fair value of the Company’s assets (provided that the fair value of Company property that secures recourse liability shall be included only to the extent its fair value exceeds such liability), and the Member had knowledge of this fact at the time the referenced distribution was received.

 

ARTICLE XV - NOTICES

 

15.1. In Writing; Address. All notices, elections, offers, acceptances, demands, consents, and reports (collectively “notices”) provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing (and shall not be deemed effective unless so) and shall be given to the Company, the Members, or the other Member at the address set forth below or at such other address as the Company or any of the parties hereto may hereafter specify in writing.

If there are cost overruns above the total (as contrasted to line by line) Approved Development Budget remaining after reallocation of any cost savings permitted under this Agreement, Extra Space shall be solely responsible for such cost overruns to the extent they are not associated with modifications to the Approved Development Budget approved by Prudential, which approval expressly states that it constitutes an increase to the applicable line item and total Approved Development Budget;

 

(d) a return to Extra Space (the “Allowed Return”) on Allowable Development Costs included in the Approved Development Budget (exclusive of the Developer’s Fee and the Allowed Return) and paid by Extra Space, to the extent and for the period ending upon Closing for which they remain unreimbursed under the Construction Loan, equal to ten percent (10%) per annum for the period commencing on the date on which Extra Space acquires the Land and continuing until Closing;

Prudential shall have the right to audit the Allowable Development Costs from time to time at any time prior to Closing.

(a) Intentionally Omitted;

 

(b) any interest on the Construction Loan other than Permitted Construction Interest through Closing;

Extra Space shall pay all such fees, costs and disbursements on the Loan Funding Date to the extent that such fees, costs and disbursements shall have been incurred as of the Loan Funding Date, and Extra Space shall thereafter pay all such fees, costs and disbursements promptly upon billing therefor, at Prudential’s election to Prudential or to the entity billing Prudential for such amounts. In the event the Closing does not occur as a result of a default by Extra Space under Section 10.1 hereof, neither Prudential nor the Venture shall have any obligation to reimburse Extra Space for the fees, costs and disbursements paid by Extra Space pursuant to this Section.

 

Article III -

TITLE

 

3.1. Initial Title Commitment and Survey Review. Prior to the Effective Date, Extra Space has delivered to Prudential (i) a Title Commitment, (ii) copies of each of the instruments listed as Permitted Exceptions on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof and any other

 

18


exceptions listed in the Title Commitment and (iii) a Survey dated             , prepared by                     . All matters affecting title shown on the Title Commitment, each as approved by Prudential prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, and listed on Exhibit B attached hereto, shall constitute Permitted Exceptions to which the Property may be subject at Closing. The term Permitted Exceptions shall also include all applicable Laws, the Leases, the rights of tenants (as tenants only) under the Leases, and the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes for the calendar year in which Closing occurs (subject to proration as herein provided). Prudential has not yet approved a Survey and, without limiting any other term of this Agreement, the obligation of Prudential to close the transaction contemplated hereby is subject to the conditions precedent that: (i) Prudential shall receive an As-Built Survey (as defined below) in form and substance satisfactory to Prudential which, inter alia, depicts the parcel of real property described in the Title Commitment, and (ii) the updated Title Commitment shall include a so-called survey endorsement.

 

3.2. Updated Title Commitment. As required pursuant to Section 6.3(c) of this Agreement, at least fifteen (15) days but not more than sixty (60) days prior to Closing, Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential an updated Title Commitment for title insurance in an amount equal to not less than the Purchase Price to be paid by the Venture at Closing, and (ii) a current as-built Survey of the Property, which as-built Survey must satisfy the requirements set forth in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “As-Built Survey”). Without limiting any term of the definition of “Permitted Exceptions” set forth above or any term of Section 7.1(e), Prudential shall have the right in its sole discretion to object to any new matter shown in such updated Title Commitment (including any supplemental title reports or updates to such updated Title Commitment issued after the date of such updated Title Commitment) or on the As-Built Survey within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such updated Title Commitment (including any supplemental title reports or updates to such updated Title Commitment issued after the date of such updated Title Commitment) or the As-Built Survey. In the event that Prudential shall object by notice to Extra Space to any new matter disclosed on the Title Commitment (including any supplemental title reports or updates to such updated Title Commitment issued after the date of such updated Title Commitment) and/or the As-Built Survey that is not a Permitted Exception within such ten (10) Business Day period, Extra Space shall have ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice to cure or cause to be cured Prudential’s objections to Prudential’s sole satisfaction and the date of the Closing shall be extended to the extent necessary to provide said additional period. In the event Extra Space is unable to so cure such objections within such period, Prudential may (i) waive such objections or (ii) terminate this Agreement by notice to Extra Space, whereupon all rights and obligations hereunder shall immediately terminate (other than as set forth in this Agreement). If the Title Commitment reveals a mortgage, security deed, lien, monetary judgment, security interest, past due tax or assessment or other similar encumbrance of a monetary nature against the Property, Extra Space agrees to pay any amount due in satisfaction of such encumbrance (or, subject to Prudential’s prior approval, otherwise cause the same to be removed as an exception in the Title Commitment), which amount, at the option of Extra Space, may be paid from the proceeds of the Purchase Price at Closing. If one or more of such encumbrances have not been satisfied as of the Closing, then Prudential is authorized to cause such encumbrances to be satisfied from the Purchase Price at Closing.

Article IV -

CONSTRUCTION COVENANTS

 

Extra Space acknowledges that the performance of each of the following covenants is a condition to Prudential’s obligations to make its capital contribution to the Venture and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and must be satisfied by Extra Space or waived by Prudential in its sole and absolute discretion in writing prior to Closing:

 

4.1. Construction Loan. Extra Space shall obtain a Loan for the construction of the Improvements which is on terms reasonably satisfactory to Prudential and in connection with which the Lender thereunder delivers at the closing of the Construction Loan a multi-party agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Prudential in its sole discretion (the “Construction Loan”). Prudential’s execution of such a multi-party agreement shall constitute Prudential’s approval of the terms and conditions of the Construction Loan and all loan documents in connection therewith. Promptly following execution thereof, Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential true, correct and complete copies of all documents and instruments evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Construction Loan. Extra Space shall at all times comply with all requirements contained in documents which evidence or secure the Construction Loan, unless such requirements are waived by Lender, but this sentence shall not be construed as creating recourse to Extra Space as between Extra Space and Lender, where Extra Space is not otherwise liable on a recourse basis.

 

4.2. Construction Plans. Prudential acknowledges its receipt and approval of the Construction Plans to be utilized in the construction of the Improvements that are listed on Exhibit E attached hereto. Extra Space shall amend the Construction Plans only in accordance with Section 4.6 below or with Prudential’s prior consent. Extra Space represents and warrants to Prudential that the Construction Plans are sufficient for their particular purpose.

 

4.3. Approvals; Construction. Extra Space has obtained, or will obtain prior to starting construction of each component of the Property, all Pre-Construction Approvals for such component so that Extra Space may construct the Improvements, and Extra Space has obtained or will obtain prior to Closing all other Permits. Extra Space represents and warrants to Prudential that the Land is in the                      zone, which provides for the Improvements contemplated by this Agreement and use thereof as a self-storage facility as permitted uses. As of the Effective Date, Extra Space has no reason to believe that the permanent certificates of occupancy and other Permits will not be issued in the ordinary course of business following completion of construction of the Improvements. All of the Pre-Construction Approvals for each component of the Property are, or prior to the commencement of construction of each component of the Property will be, in full force and effect, and no cancellation or suspension of any of them is threatened. Extra Space has delivered to Prudential true, correct and complete copies of the Pre-Construction Approvals received by Extra Space on or before the Effective Date. Extra Space shall promptly deliver to Prudential true, correct and complete copies of all Pre-Construction Approvals and all other Permits thereafter received by Extra Space promptly upon receipt thereof by Extra Space. Extra Space shall cause the Improvements described in the Construction Plans to be constructed and Completed on or before                     , subject to

 

20


extension for Force Majeure (the “Outside Completion Date”), in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the Construction Plans and all other terms of this Agreement and all applicable restrictive covenants and Laws, free from defects in design, workmanship and materials.

 

4.4. Construction Contract. Prudential acknowledges its receipt of the Construction Contract for a Cost of Work of $                     and providing for the warranty from the Contractor described in Section 4.5 below. Extra Space shall enforce the provisions of the Construction Contract and shall not amend or terminate the same, except as permitted in Section 4.6 below. To the extent that Extra Space is entitled to, or receives the benefit of, any cost savings under the Construction Contract, after the reallocation of such line item cost savings to other line items, any unallocated cost savings after such re-allocation shall inure to the benefit of the Venture, and the Allowable Development Costs and the Approved Development Budget shall each be reduced by an amount equal to such cost savings. Extra Space shall bear the risk of cost overruns as provided in Section 2.2 above, notwithstanding any term of the Construction Contract. The Contractor will enter into all subcontracts and material supply contracts which are necessary and appropriate for the full and complete performance of all of the obligations of the Contractor under the Construction Contract. If Prudential requests, Extra Space shall obtain at least three (3) bids for each subcontract for which the value of the work is in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). Extra Space has delivered to Prudential a true, correct and complete list of all subcontracts and material supply contracts which are in effect on the date hereof and will, upon request therefor by Prudential, update such list during all periods prior to Closing. If requested by Prudential, Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential true, correct and complete copies of any such subcontracts and material supply contracts which Prudential may request.

 

4.5. Construction Indemnity Agreement and Bond. Upon Closing, Extra Space shall cause to be delivered to Prudential and the Venture, the Construction Indemnity Agreement in the Form attached hereto as Exhibit F pursuant to which the parties thereto shall (i) guarantee that the Improvements were constructed substantially in accordance with the Construction Plans and in compliance with all Laws applicable to the Property; and (ii) guarantee that the Improvements are free from faulty or defective workmanship and materials for a 1-year period from the date upon which Closing occurs, and Prudential shall have received an AIA Form G704 certificate executed by the Contractor.

 

4.6. Change Orders. Extra Space shall not permit or approve any Change Order except upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.6 and except as approved by Lender to the extent such approval is required under the terms of the Construction Loan. Except for Minor Field Changes, if Extra Space desires to amend or modify the Construction Plans or the Construction Contract or utilize a Change Order, Extra Space shall provide five (5) days’ prior notice to Prudential and the Construction Consultant (a “Change Notice”). Each Change Notice shall specify the proposed amendment, modification or Change Order, as the case may be, the amount of any cost increases or cost decreases in any line item reflected on the Approved Development Budget in connection with such proposed amendment, modification or Change Order and other information reasonably requested by Prudential to permit Prudential and the

 

21


Construction Consultant to evaluate the proposed amendment, modification or Change Order and the actual or potential effect upon the Property. Prudential, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to approve or disapprove of any proposed amendment, modification or Change Order by providing Extra Space with notice of such approval or disapproval within five (5) days after Prudential’s receipt of the applicable Change Notice (“Prudential’s Notice”). If Prudential’s Notice contains a disapproval of a proposed amendment, modification or Change Order, such proposed amendment, modification or Change Order shall not occur. In the event that Prudential does not send Prudential’s Notice within five (5) days after Prudential’s receipt of the applicable Change Notice, the proposed amendment, modification or Change Order shall be deemed to have been disapproved by Prudential and shall not occur. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Extra Space may make Minor Field Changes without the consent of Prudential so long as such Minor Field Changes are permitted under the Construction Loan and satisfy all of the following conditions and requirements:

 

(a) the change shall not involve any material substitution or elimination of materials, or if it does involve material substitution, the substituted materials are of equal or superior quality, durability and appearance to the materials which are being replaced, and the substitution shall not materially change the appearance or use of the Improvements;

 

(b) the change shall not diminish the value or utility of the Property or the mechanical, structural or architectural integrity thereof;

 

(c) the value of the work represented by such proposed change shall not exceed $20,000 and, when combined with all previous Minor Field Changes, shall not have a cumulative value in excess of $100,000;

 

(d) the change shall not require any change or modification to or amendment of the building permit or other Permits which have been issued by the appropriate Governmental Authorities; and

 

(e) Extra Space shall give notice to the Construction Consultant of the change within a reasonable time after the change is effected; provided, however, inadvertent failure to give the notice shall not constitute a default hereunder if such change complies with subsections (a) through (d) above. Nothing in this Section 4.6 shall be deemed in any way to excuse, delay or otherwise affect Extra Space’s obligations to deliver to Prudential upon Completion copies of all change orders and as-built drawings, as further described in Section 4.10 below.

 

Prudential may initiate and Extra Space shall enter into any Change Order which Prudential may request in writing; provided that (i) the modification that is the subject of such Change Order must be reasonably acceptable to Extra Space and Lender, and (ii) such Change Order will not adversely affect Extra Space’s ability to meet any time period or schedule related to the construction of the Improvements contained in this Agreement unless Prudential extends any such period or schedule. Any increased costs directly or indirectly attributable to an

 

22


approved or required Change Order shall be included in Allowable Development Costs, and the Approved Development Budget shall be revised accordingly.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.6, in no event may Extra Space amend or Prudential initiate an amendment of the Construction Plans or utilize a Change Order in any manner which would modify, change or otherwise alter the foundations or structure of the Improvements, unless reasonably necessary to strengthen or otherwise improve such foundations or structures.

 

4.7. Budget Changes. The “Approved Development Budget” is attached hereto as Exhibit G. The Approved Development Budget may not be amended without Prudential’s prior consent, except as provided in this Section and as a result of Minor Field Changes as provided in, and in accordance with, Section 4.6. Prudential’s approval shall not be required for any change in the Approved Development Budget which merely reallocates demonstrated line item savings to line item overruns, as long as Extra Space shall notify Prudential in writing promptly prior to making any such change. The total cost provided in the Approved Development Budget shall be reduced by all revenue attributable to the Property prior to Closing.

 

4.8. Construction Inspection. Prudential and/or the Construction Consultant shall be permitted to inspect the construction of the Improvements at all reasonable times and shall further be entitled to attend any construction progress meetings it may desire. Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential construction cost reports and interim progress reports in a form acceptable to Prudential, not less frequently than monthly, during the period of construction of the Improvements so as to keep Prudential fully informed as to the status and progress of all construction work.

 

Prudential shall have the right to employ the Construction Consultant to advise Prudential with respect to the development of the Construction Plans, progress of construction and compliance of construction with the Construction Plans, applicable Laws and the other terms of this Agreement. On or before the Effective Date, Extra Space shall inform the then current Construction Consultant of the usual location, date and time of the weekly construction meetings for the Property. The Construction Consultant shall be permitted to attend all such construction meetings. Extra Space shall provide the Construction Consultant with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice of any change in the date, time or location of a weekly construction meeting. In the case of any construction meeting called on an emergency basis, Extra Space shall provide the Construction Consultant with as much notice as is given to all other participants of the emergency construction meeting. Extra Space shall cause the Construction Consultant to be provided with construction time schedules not less frequently than monthly and to be informed of any anticipated changes to the most recent of such schedules or to the Approved Development Budget. Extra Space shall permit the Construction Consultant to have access to the Property and the construction thereon during the period of construction to enable the Construction Consultant to examine all aspects of such construction and all matters related thereto. The Construction Consultant’s activities, however, shall be solely for the purpose of examination and inspection, and in no event shall the Construction Consultant be entitled to require that any construction work be demolished or otherwise undone in order for the Construction Consultant to inspect it. Extra Space shall provide Prudential and the Construction Consultant with at least three (3)

 

23


Business Days’ prior notice of each of the following trades commencing construction: mechanical, electrical, plumbing, footings, steel erection, roofing, slab flooring and foundations. Extra Space shall provide to the Construction Consultant reasonable access during normal business hours to all books, records, shop drawings and engineering and other reports and tests related to the construction of the Improvements as may be requested by the Construction Consultant. The Construction Consultant shall have the right to make copies of all such materials. Extra Space shall provide to the Construction Consultant a reasonable working space and access to telephone and other such facilities as may be reasonably requested by the Construction Consultant. Upon execution of this Agreement, Extra Space shall deliver to the Construction Consultant a list of all current and potential bidders who may perform work at or supply materials to the Property. The Construction Consultant shall have the right to review any bid packages or any bids received upon request. Any action or inaction by Prudential, the Construction Consultant or any other agent or representative of Prudential hereunder shall not relieve Extra Space of any obligation under this Agreement.

 

4.9. Insurance. At all times prior to Closing, Extra Space shall maintain in full force and effect (i) an “all risk” form of builder’s risk insurance in an amount of not less than $                     which represents the full replacement cost of the Improvements (including, without limitation, if Prudential elects, “all risk” property coverage to include earthquake/volcanic action, flood and/or surface water insurance) with the interests of Prudential and the Venture protected under a loss payable clause, (ii) a policy of commercial general liability insurance (occurrence form) having a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per single occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate, (iii) worker’s compensation insurance having limits not less than those required by state statute and federal statute, if applicable, and covering all persons employed by Extra Space in the conduct of its operations at the Property (including the all states endorsement and, if applicable, the volunteers endorsement), (iv) comprehensive automobile liability insurance having a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 and (v) an umbrella policy of commercial general liability insurance having a limit of not less than $10,000,000.

Prudential and the Venture shall be named insured parties on the liability insurance policy, and Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential certified copies of such insurance policies, together with certificates evidencing the coverage of Prudential and the Venture under the liability policy, promptly upon issuance or renewal thereof. Promptly following issuance thereof, Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential true, correct and complete copies of all of such insurance policies.

 

4.10. Drawings. Upon Completion, Extra Space shall deliver to Prudential a complete set of as-built drawings prepared by the Contractor showing all of the Improvements as actually constructed by the Contractor. Such as-built drawings shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Prudential and Extra Space shall cause any changes, modifications or clarifications requested by Prudential to be made in such as-built drawings prior to Closing.

 

24


4.11. Service Contracts. Extra Space shall not enter into, amend, terminate, renew or otherwise alter any Service Contract that will be binding upon the Venture or the Property after Closing without the prior consent of Prudential.

 

4.12. Material Change. Extra Space shall promptly notify Prudential of any material change, of which it has knowledge, with respect to the Property or Extra Space or any information heretofore or hereafter furnished to Prudential with respect to the Property or Extra Space, including, without limitation, any such change which would make any portion of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, untrue or materially misleading.

4.17. Notices of Default. Within five (5) days after receipt by Extra Space, Extra Space will provide Prudential with true, accurate and complete copies of any notice of any default or of any matter or event which will, with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, become a default under any of the documents executed or delivered in connection with the Construction Loan, any of the Leases or under any of the Service Contracts, any notice of any violation or threatened violation of any Law, including, without limitation any building, health or safety

If any such notice is received by Extra Space within five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, each such notice shall be sent to Prudential by facsimile transmission or overnight delivery on the day of receipt by Extra Space, but in all events, all such notices shall be delivered to Prudential prior to Closing.

 

4.18. Status of Extra Space.

Article X -

DEFAULT

 

10.1. Extra Space Default. Extra Space shall be in default under this Agreement if any of the following shall occur:

 

(a) any of the representations and warranties of Extra Space made under this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to the terms hereof shall be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect as of the date made or the date required to be true or accurate hereunder;

 

41


(b) the Conditions Precedent shall not be fully satisfied on or before Closing; or

 

(c) Extra Space shall fail to perform any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of twenty (20) Business Days after notice from Prudential unless, if such failure is not reasonably capable of being cured or remedied within twenty (20) Business Days, Extra Space shall commence to cure or remedy such failure within such twenty (20) day period and fully cure and remedy such failure within ninety (90) Business Days after notice of such default.

 

In the event of any default by Extra Space under this Agreement which occurs prior to Closing, Prudential shall have as its sole and exclusive alternative remedies (i) the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event Extra Space shall reimburse Prudential for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Prudential in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) the right to waive such default and close this transaction subject to such default without abatement of the Purchase Price or the capital contributions to the Venture required in connection therewith, or (iii) the right to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement, or (iv) if there is a willful breach of this Agreement by Extra Space, the right to seek any and all remedies available at law or equity. If Extra Space shall default hereunder, Extra Space shall make such default known to Prudential in writing and if Prudential shall elect to close notwithstanding such default, then Prudential shall be deemed to have waived satisfaction of the obligation giving rise to such default, without waiving any other obligations which were required hereunder to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing.

Prudential shall be in default under this Agreement if, after satisfaction of all Conditions Precedent to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Prudential shall fail to perform any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement and such failure shall continue for a period of twenty (20) Business Days after notice from Extra Space, during which twenty (20) day period Prudential shall have the right to cure or remedy such failure. In the event of a default hereunder by Prudential, Extra Space shall have as its sole and exclusive alternative remedies (i) the right to enforce specific performance of this Agreement, or (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement, in which event Prudential shall reimburse Extra Space for all out-of-pocket costs incurred by Extra Space directly in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (excluding, however, any costs associated with matters pertaining to the acquisition of the Land or the Construction Loan) or (iii) the right to waive such default and close the transaction subject to such default without change to this Agreement. If Prudential shall default hereunder, Prudential shall make such default known to Extra Space in writing and if Extra Space shall elect to close notwithstanding such default, then Extra Space shall be deemed to have waived satisfaction of the obligation giving rise to such default, without waiving any other obligations which were required hereunder to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing.
