Forward Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Item 2 of Part I of this report, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seeks,” “plans” or similar expressions. Do not unduly rely on forward-looking statements. They give our expectations about the future and are not guarantees, and speak only as of the date they are made. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plan expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. While we cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties, they include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved. Additionally, a description of our critical accounting estimates is included in the management’s discussion and analysis section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. There has been no significant change in such critical accounting estimates.
As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the terms “the Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” include W. P. Carey & Co. LLC, its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, unless otherwise indicated.

W. P. CAREY & CO. LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
NOTE 1. Business
W. P. Carey & Co. LLC (the “Company”) is a real estate and advisory company that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally, and earns revenue as the advisor to the following affiliated real estate investment trusts (“CPA® REITs”) that each make similar investments: Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated (“CPA®:12”), Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated (“CPA®:14”), Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated (“CPA®:15”), Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated (“CPA®:16 — Global”). Under the advisory agreements with the CPA® REITs, the Company performs services related to the day-to-day management of the CPA® REITs and transaction-related services. As of June 30, 2006, the Company owns and manages over 700 commercial properties domestically and internationally including its own portfolio which is comprised of 169 commercial properties net leased to 109 tenants and totaling approximately 16 million square feet.
The Company’s Primary Business Segments
MANAGEMENT SERVICES — The Company provides services to the CPA® REITs in connection with structuring and negotiating investment and debt placement transactions (structuring revenue) and provides on-going management of the portfolio (asset-based management and performance revenue). Asset-based management and performance revenue for the CPA® REITs are determined based on real estate related assets under management. As funds available to the CPA® REITs are invested, the asset base for which the Company earns revenue increases. The Company may elect to receive revenue in cash or restricted shares of the CPA® REITs. The Company may also earn incentive and disposition revenue in connection with providing liquidity alternatives to CPA® REIT shareholders.
REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS — The Company invests in commercial properties that are then leased to companies domestically and internationally.
NOTE 2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all accounts of the Company, and its majority-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries. The portion of these entities not owned by the Company is presented as minority interest as of and during the periods consolidated.
When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”). The Company consolidates (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company controls. Entities that the Company accounts for under the equity method (i.e. at cost, increased or decreased by the Company’s share of earnings or losses, less distributions) include (i) entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary and (ii) entities that are non-VIEs which the Company does not control, but over which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence. The Company will reconsider its determination of whether an entity is a VIE and who the primary beneficiary is if certain events occur that are likely to cause a change in the original determinations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
As a result of adopting the provisions of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Consensus on Issue No. 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights” (“EITF 04-05”) effective January 1, 2006, the Company now consolidates a limited liability company that leases property to CheckFree Holdings Corporation Inc., that was previously accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Reclassifications and Revisions
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period financial statement presentation. The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q have been adjusted to reflect asset management and structuring revenue as separate components of revenue and the disposition (or planned disposition) of certain properties as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The Company has revised its consolidated statement of cash flow for the period ended June 30, 2005 to present the operating portion of the cash flows attributable to its discontinued operations on a combined basis.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation requires that the Company not recognize in its consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position that fails to meet the more likely than not recognition threshold based on the technical merits of the position. The provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for the Company as of the beginning of its 2007 fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. Transactions with Related Parties
Directly and through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company earns revenue as the advisor (“advisor”) to the CPA® REITs. Under the advisory agreements with the CPA® REITs, the Company performs various services, including but not limited to the day-to-day management of the CPA® REITs and transaction-related services. The Company earns asset management revenue totaling 1% per annum of average invested assets, as calculated pursuant to the advisory agreements for each CPA® REIT, of which 1/2 of 1% (“performance revenue”) is contingent upon specific performance criteria for each CPA® REIT, and is reimbursed for certain costs, primarily broker/dealer commissions paid on behalf of the CPA® REITs and marketing and personnel costs. Effective in 2005, the advisory agreements were amended to allow the Company to elect to receive restricted stock for any revenue due from each CPA® REIT. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, total asset-based revenue earned was $14,752 and $12,867, respectively, while reimbursed costs totaled $19,894 and $2,028, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, total asset-based revenue earned was $29,114 and $25,467, respectively, while reimbursed costs totaled $22,892 and $4,860, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, CPA®:16 — Global did not meet its performance criterion (a non-compounded cumulative distribution return of 6%), as defined in its advisory agreement, and since its inception, the Company has deferred cumulative performance revenue of $7,034 that will be recognized if the performance criterion is met. For 2006, the Company elected to continue to receive all performance revenue from the CPA® REITs as well as the asset management revenue payable by CPA®:16-Global in restricted shares.
In connection with structuring and negotiating investments and related mortgage financing for the CPA® REITs, the advisory agreements provide for structuring revenue based on the cost of investments. Under each of the advisory agreements, the Company may receive acquisition revenue of up to an average of 4.5% of the total cost of all investments made by each CPA® REIT. A portion of this revenue (generally 2.5%) is paid when the transaction is completed while the remainder (generally 2%) is payable in equal annual installments ranging from three to eight years, subject to the relevant CPA® REIT meeting its performance criterion. Unpaid installments bear interest at annual rates ranging from 5% to 7%. The Company may in certain circumstances be entitled to loan refinancing revenue of up to 1% of the principal amount refinanced in connection with structuring and negotiating investments. This loan refinancing revenue, together with the acquisition revenue, is referred to as structuring revenue.
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company earned structuring revenue of $2,462 and $9,817, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company earned structuring revenue of $12,354 and $20,524, respectively. CPA®:16-Global has not met its performance criterion and since its inception, cumulative deferred structuring revenue of $21,409 and interest thereon of $1,344 have been deferred, and will be recognized by the Company if CPA®:16-Global meets the performance criterion. In addition, the Company may also earn revenue related to the disposition of properties, subject to subordination provisions, and will only recognize such revenue as the subordination provisions are achieved.

Included in due from affiliates and deferred revenue in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 is $29,787 and $23,085, respectively, of deferred revenue related to providing services to CPA®:16-Global (as described above). Recognition and ultimate collection of these amounts is subject to CPA®:16-Global meeting its performance criterion.
On June 29, 2006, two of the CPA® REITs managed by the Company, CPA®:12 and CPA®:14, entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which CPA®:12 will merge with and into CPA®:14, subject to the approval of the stockholders of CPA®:12 and CPA®:14. A joint proxy/registration statement was filed with the SEC on July 25, 2006 relating to the merger. CPA®:12 and CPA®:14 are currently awaiting comments from the SEC. The closing of the merger is also subject to customary closing conditions. The Company currently expects that the closing will occur late in the fourth quarter of 2006 at the earliest, although there can be no assurance of such timing. Prior to the proposed merger, CPA®:12 will also sell certain properties or interests in properties valued at approximately $199,200 (including the pro rata values of properties which, for financial reporting purposes, will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting), to the Company for approximately $120,500 in cash and the Company’s assumption of approximately $78,700 in limited recourse mortgage notes payable. CPA®:12’s sale of properties to the Company is contingent on the approval of the merger. These properties all have remaining lease terms of eight years or less, which is shorter than the average lease term of CPA®:14’s portfolio of properties and CPA®:14 consequently required that these assets be sold by CPA®:12. The Company expects to use the available credit facility to finance this transaction, however pre-tax income to be received from disposition and termination fees payable by CPA®:12 of approximately $48,845 in connection with the proposed liquidation of CPA®:12 and $7,719 as part of a special cash distribution of $3.00 per share to CPA®:12 stockholders would also be available to finance this transaction or to reduce any indebtedness incurred in connection with this transaction. The proposed purchase price of the properties is based on a third party valuation of CPA®:12’s properties as of December 31, 2005 and consequently does not take into account any changes in value that may have occurred subsequent to that date or may occur prior to the completion of this transaction.
In connection with the purchase of properties from CPA®:12, the Company has agreed that if it enters into a definitive agreement within six months after the closing of the asset sale to sell any of the properties acquired from CPA®:12 at a price that is higher than the price paid to CPA®:12, the Company will pay 85% of the excess (net of selling expenses and fees) over to an independent paying agent that will distribute such funds to the former stockholders of CPA®:12.
A subsidiary of the Company has agreed to indemnify CPA®:14 if CPA®:14 suffers certain losses arising out of a breach by CPA®:12 of its representations and warranties under the merger agreement and having a material adverse effect on CPA®:14 after the merger, up to the amount of fees received by such subsidiary of the Company in connection with the merger. The Company has also agreed to waive any acquisition fees payable by CPA®:14 under its advisory agreement with the Company in respect of the properties being acquired in the merger and has also agreed to waive any disposition fees that may subsequently be payable by CPA®:14 to the Company upon a sale of such assets. The Company has evaluated the exposure related to this indemnification and has determined the exposure to be minimal.
The Company owns interests in entities which range from 22.50% to 50%, a jointly-controlled 36% tenancy-in-common interest in two properties subject to a net lease with the remaining interests held by affiliates and owns common stock in each of the CPA® REITs. The Company has a significant influence in these investments, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The Company is the general partner in a limited partnership that leases the Company’s home office spaces and participates in an agreement with certain affiliates, including the CPA® REITs for the purpose of leasing office space used for the administration of the Company and other affiliated real estate entities and sharing the associated costs. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company began consolidating the results of operations of this limited partnership. As a result, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recorded lease revenues of $706 and $1,329, respectively, of which $521 and $981, respectively, was reimbursed by certain affiliates. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 (prior to consolidation) the Company’s share of rental expenses under this agreement was $252 and $499, respectively. Based on current allocation percentages, the Company’s estimated minimum annual lease payments on the office lease, inclusive of minority interest, as of June 30, 2006 approximate $2,750 through 2016.
In June 2000, the Company acquired Carey Management LLC (“Carey Management”). Prior to its acquisition by the Company, Carey Management performed certain services for the Company and earned structuring revenue in connection with the purchase and disposition of properties. The Company is obligated to pay deferred acquisition compensation in equal annual installments over a period of no less than eight years. As of June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, unpaid deferred acquisition compensation was $661 and $1,185, respectively, and bore interest at an annual rate of 6%.

NOTE 6. Discontinued Operations
Tenants from time to time may vacate space due to lease buy-out, election not to renew, company insolvency or lease rejection in the bankruptcy process. In such cases, the Company assesses whether the highest value is obtained from re-leasing or selling the property. When it is determined that the most likely outcome will be a sale, the asset is reclassified as an asset held for sale.
Assets Held for Sale
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, the Company entered into a contract to sell a vacant property in Reno, Nevada for a sales price of $8,000. The Company currently expects to complete this transaction during 2006 and expects to record a net gain of approximately $3,500.
In March 2005, the Company entered into a contract to sell its property in Travelers Rest, South Carolina to a third party for $2,550. The Company currently expects to complete this transaction during 2006 and expects to record a gain on this sale of approximately $1,000. Impairment charges totaling $2,507 were recognized in prior years to write down the property value to the estimated net sales proceeds.
Assets held for sale also include a property located in Cincinnati, Ohio that is subject to a contract for sale for approximately $10,100. Impairment charges totaling $2,700 were previously recorded in prior years to write down the property’s value to its estimated fair value.
Discontinued Operations
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company sold two domestic properties to third parties for combined sales proceeds of $8,168, net of closing costs and exclusive of combined impairment charges of $157 recognized during this period. The Company previously recognized combined impairment charges of $1,266 related to these properties.
In March 2005, the Company received notification from the lessee of its Amberly Village, Ohio and Berea, Kentucky properties, that the lessee had exercised its existing option to purchase both properties, at fair value, pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement. Fair value was determined pursuant to an appraisal process in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement between the Company and the lessee. In December 2005, the Company received a $3,000 payment from the tenant in connection with the termination of its lease on the Ohio property and sold the Kentucky property to the tenant for $8,961, net of closing costs and recognized a gain of $20, exclusive of impairment charges previously recorded totaling $6,340 on the Kentucky property. In May 2006, the Company sold the Ohio property to a third party for $6,212, net of closing costs and exclusive of an impairment charge of $3,200 recognized in the first quarter of 2006. The Company previously recognized impairment charges of $14,037 related to this property.
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company sold several domestic properties to third parties for combined sales proceeds of $32,464, net of closing costs and recognized a combined net gain of $9,119. Impairment charges totaling $1,582 were previously recognized on these properties to reduce their property values to the estimated net sales proceeds.
Impairment charges on properties sold and held for sale as of June 30, 2006 are discussed in Note 9.

NOTE 8. Commitments and Contingencies
As of June 30, 2006, the Company was not involved in any material litigation.
In March 2004, following a broker-dealer examination of Carey Financial, LLC (“Carey Financial”), the Company’s wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary, by the staff of the SEC, Carey Financial received a letter from the staff of the SEC alleging certain

11


Table of Contents

W. P. CAREY & CO. LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
infractions by Carey Financial of the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the rules and regulations thereunder and those of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”).
The staff alleged that in connection with a public offering of shares of CPA®:15, Carey Financial and its retail distributors sold certain securities without an effective registration statement. Specifically, the staff alleged that the delivery of investor funds into escrow after completion of the first phase of the offering (the “Phase I Offering”), completed in the fourth quarter of 2002 but before a registration statement with respect to the second phase of the offering (the “Phase II Offering”) became effective in the first quarter of 2003, constituted sales of securities in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, in the March 2004 letter the staff raised issues about whether actions taken in connection with the Phase II offering were adequately disclosed to investors in the Phase I Offering. In the event the Commission pursues these allegations, or if affected CPA®:15 investors bring a similar private action, CPA®:15 might be required to offer the affected investors the opportunity to receive a return of their investment. It cannot be determined at this time if, as a consequence of investor funds being returned by CPA®:15, Carey Financial would be required to return to CPA®:15 the commissions paid by CPA®:15 on purchases actually rescinded. Further, as part of any action against the Company, the SEC could seek disgorgement of any such commissions or different or additional penalties or relief, including without limitation, injunctive relief and/or civil monetary penalties, irrespective of the outcome of any rescission offer. The Company cannot predict the potential effect such a rescission offer or SEC action may ultimately have on the operations of Carey Financial or the Company. There can be no assurance that the effect, if any, would not be material.
The staff also alleged in the March 2004 letter that the prospectus delivered with respect to the Phase I Offering contained material misrepresentations and omissions in violation of Section 17 of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder in that the prospectus failed to disclose that (i) the proceeds of the Phase I Offering would be used to advance commissions and expenses payable with respect to the Phase II Offering, and (ii) the payment of dividends to Phase II shareholders whose funds had been held in escrow pending effectiveness of the registration statement resulted in significantly higher annualized rates of return than were being earned by Phase I shareholders. Carey Financial has reimbursed CPA®:15 for the interest cost of advancing the commissions that were later recovered by CPA®:15 from the Phase II Offering proceeds.
In June 2004, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC (“Enforcement Staff”) commenced an investigation into compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with the public offerings of shares of CPA®:15 during 2002 and 2003. In December 2004, the scope of the Enforcement Staff’s inquiries broadened to include broker-dealer compensation arrangements in connection with CPA®:15 and other REITs managed by the Company, as well as the disclosure of such arrangements. At that time the Company and Carey Financial received a subpoena from the Enforcement Staff seeking documents relating to payments by Carey Financial, the Company and REITs managed by the Company to (or requests for payment received from) any broker-dealer, excluding selling commissions and selected dealer fees. The Company and Carey Financial subsequently received additional subpoenas and requests for information from the Enforcement Staff seeking, among other things, information relating to any revenue sharing agreements or payments (defined to include any payment to a broker-dealer, excluding selling commissions and selected dealer fees) made by the Company, Carey Financial or any Company-managed REIT in connection with the distribution of Company-managed REITs or the retention or maintenance of REIT assets. Other information sought by the SEC includes information concerning the accounting treatment and disclosure of any such payments, communications with third parties (including other REIT issuers) concerning revenue sharing, and documents concerning the calculation of underwriting compensation in connection with the REIT offerings under applicable NASD rules.
In response to the Enforcement Staff’s subpoenas and requests, the Company and Carey Financial have produced documents relating to payments made to certain broker-dealers both during and after the offering process, for certain of the REITs managed by the Company (including Corporate Property Associates 10 Incorporated (“CPA®:10”), Carey Institutional Properties Incorporated (“CIP®”),CPA®:12, CPA®:14 and CPA ®:15), in addition to selling commissions and selected dealer fees.
Among the payments reflected on documents produced to the Staff were certain payments, aggregating in excess of $9,600, made to a broker-dealer which distributed shares of the REITs. The expenses associated with these payments, which were made during the period from early 2000 through the end of 2003, were borne by and accounted for on the books and records of the REITs. Of these payments, CPA®:10 paid in excess of $40; CIP® paid in excess of $875; CPA®:12 paid in excess of $2,455; CPA®:14 paid in excess of $4,990; and CPA®:15 paid in excess of $1,240. In addition, other smaller payments by the REITs to the same and other broker-dealers have been identified aggregating less than $1,000.
The Company and Carey Financial are cooperating fully with this investigation and have provided information to the Enforcement Staff in response to the subpoenas and requests. Although no formal regulatory action has been initiated against the Company or

Carey Financial in connection with the matters being investigated, the Company expects that the SEC may pursue such an action against either or both of them. The nature of the relief or remedies the SEC may seek cannot be predicted at this time. If such an action is brought, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company and the magnitude of that effect would not necessarily be limited to the payments described above but could include other payments and civil monetary penalties.
Several state securities regulators have sought information from Carey Financial relating to the matters described above. While one or more states may commence proceedings against Carey Financial in connection with these inquiries, the Company does not currently expect that these inquiries will have a material effect on it incremental to that caused by any SEC action.
NOTE 9. Impairment Charges
The Company recorded impairment charges totaling $3,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Impairment charges recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 were $6,149 and $15,821, respectively.
In March 2005, the Company received notification from the lessee of its Amberly Village, Ohio and Berea, Kentucky properties, that the lessee had exercised its existing option to purchase both properties, at fair value, pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement. Fair value was determined pursuant to an appraisal process in accordance with the terms of the lease agreement between the Company and the lessee. In connection with this transaction, in the quarter ended March 31, 2005, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $8,872, as the estimated fair value of the properties estimated by management was lower than their carrying value. As a result of the Company obtaining its own appraisal of these properties, the Company recognized an additional impairment charge of $5,819 in the quarter ended June 30, 2005. In December 2005, the tenant completed the purchase of the Kentucky property and terminated its lease on the Ohio property for a lease termination payment of $3,000. In March 2006, the Company entered into a contract with a third party for the sale of the Ohio property and recognized an additional impairment charge of $3,200 in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to reduce this property’s carrying value to its estimated selling price, less closing costs. The sale of the Ohio property was completed in May 2006. The sales of these properties are discussed in Note 6.
In connection with the sale of a property in Olive Branch, Mississippi, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $116 in the first quarter of 2006, as the net proceeds were less than the property’s carrying value. The sale was completed in April 2006 (see Note 6 for a discussion of the sale of this property). The Company previously recognized impairment charges of $650 related to this property.
In connection with entering into a commitment to sell a property in Bay Minette, Alabama, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $41 in the first quarter of 2006, as the property’s estimated fair value was lower than its carrying value. The Company previously recognized impairment charges of $625 related to this property.
In connection with entering into a commitment to sell a property in Livonia, Michigan for $8,500 during the first quarter of 2005, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $800, as the property’s estimated fair value was lower than its carrying value. The $8,500 proposed transaction was terminated and in June 2005 the Company entered into a letter of intent with a third party to sell this property for $8,000. As the proposed sale proceeds net of closing costs were below the property’s carrying value, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $330 during the quarter ended June 30, 2005 for a total impairment charge on this property during the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $1,130. In the fourth quarter of 2005 the Company terminated its plan to sell the property and entered into an agreement with the proposed buyer to upgrade and manage the facility on a fee basis. The Company previously recognized impairment charges of $7,500 related to this property.
NOTE 10. Members’ Equity and Stock Based and Other Compensation
Stock Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified prospective application method and therefore has not restated prior periods’ results. Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 included compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123. Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), income from continuing operations before income taxes and net income were $136 and $81 lower for the three months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, and $161 and $125 higher for the six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, than if the Company had continued to account for stock-based compensation awards under APB 25. There was no impact on either basic or diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as a result of the adoption of FAS 123(R). In addition, prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company presented the tax benefit of stock option exercises as operating cash flows. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), tax benefits resulting from the tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options totaling $270 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are classified as financing cash flow inflows with a corresponding decrease included within operating cash flows.
The pro forma table below reflects net income and basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, had the Company applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123, as follows:

At June 30, 2006, the Company had the following stock-based compensation plans as described below. The total compensation expense for these plans was $829 and $916 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1,548 and $1,792 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The tax benefit recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 related to stock-based compensation plans totaled $367 and $405, respectively, and totaled $685 and $799 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for these plans under the provisions of APB 25.
1997 Share Incentive Plan
The Company maintains the 1997 Share Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), as amended, which authorizes the issuance of up to 6,200,000 shares. The Incentive Plan provides for the grant of (i) share options which may or may not qualify as incentive stock options, (ii) performance shares, (iii) dividend equivalent rights and (iv) restricted shares. Options granted under the Incentive Plan generally have a 10-year term and generally vest over periods ranging from three to ten years from the date of grant. The vesting of grants is accelerated upon a change in control of the Company and under certain other conditions.
Non-Employee Directors’ Plan
The Company maintains the Non-Employee Directors’ Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of up to 300,000 shares. The Directors’ Plan provides for the grant of (i) share options which may or may not qualify as incentive stock options, (ii) performance shares, (iii) dividend equivalent rights and (iv) restricted shares. Options granted under the Directors’ Plan have a 10-year term and vest over three years from the date of grant.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
The Company sponsors the Carey Diversified LLC Employee Share Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), pursuant to which eligible employees may contribute up to 10% of compensation, subject to certain limits, to purchase the Company’s common stock. Employees can purchase stock semi-annually at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value at certain plan defined dates. The ESPP is not material to the Company’s results of operations.

Carey Management Warrants
In January 1998, the predecessor of Carey Management was granted warrants to purchase 2,284,800 shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable at $21 per share and 725,930 shares exercisable at $23 per share as compensation for investment banking services in connection with structuring the consolidation of the CPA® Partnerships. The warrants are exercisable until January 2009. These warrants and shares were fully vested prior to January 1, 2006.
Partnership Equity Plan Unit
During 2003, the Company adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan under which a portion of any participating officer’s cash compensation in excess of designated amounts will be deferred and the officer will be awarded a Partnership Equity Plan Unit (“PEP Unit”). The value of each PEP Unit is intended to correspond to the value of a share of the CPA® REIT designated at the time of such award. Redemption will occur at the earlier of a liquidity event of the underlying CPA® REIT or twelve years from the date of award. The award is fully vested upon grant, and the Company may terminate the plan at any time. The value of each PEP Unit will be adjusted to reflect the underlying appraised value of the CPA® REIT. Additionally, each PEP Unit will be entitled to a distribution equal to the distribution rate of the CPA® REIT. All issuances of PEP Units, changes in the fair value of PEP Units and distributions paid are included in compensation expense of the Company. The PEP plan is a deferred compensation plan and is therefore considered to be outside the scope of SFAS 123(R).
WPCI Stock Option Plan
On June 30, 2003, WPCI granted an incentive award to certain officers of WPCI consisting of 1,500,000 restricted shares, representing an approximate 13% interest in WPCI, and 1,500,000 options for WPCI common stock with a combined fair value of $2,485 at that date. Both the options and restricted stock were issued in 2003 and are vesting ratably over five years. The options are exercisable at $1 per share for a period of ten years from the initial vesting date. The vested restricted stock and stock received upon the exercise of options of WPCI by minority interest holders may be redeemed commencing December 31, 2012 and thereafter solely in exchange for shares of the Company. Any redemption will be subject to a third party valuation of WPCI.

The fair value of share-based payment awards is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula (options and warrants) which involves the use of assumptions which are used in estimating the fair value of share based payment awards. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The dividend yield is based upon the trailing quarterly distribution for the four quarters prior to June 30, 2006 expressed as a percentage of the Company’s stock price. Expected volatilities are based on a review of the five and ten-year historical volatility of the Company’s stock as well as the historical volatilities and implied volatilities of common stock and exchange traded options of selected comparable companies. The expected term of awards granted is derived from an analysis of the remaining life of the Company’s awards giving consideration to their maturity dates and remaining time to vest. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the following assumptions and weighted average fair values were used:
                                 
    Three months ended June 30,   Six months ended June 30,
    2006   2005   2006   2005
Risk-free interest rates
    5.04 - 5.07 %     3.94 - 4.12 %     4.61 - 5.07 %     3.94 - 4.23 %
Dividend yields
    6.65 %     7.7 %     6.65 – 6.89 %     7.7 – 7.8 %
Expected volatility
    17.0 %     20.0 %     17.0 – 17.5 %     20.0 %
Expected term in years
    6.25 - 8.5       10       6.22 – 8.5       10  
As of June 30, 2006, approximately $9,743 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 4.3 years.
The Company has the ability and intent to issue shares upon stock option exercises. Historically, the Company has issued new common stock to satisfy such exercises. Cash received from stock option exercises and purchases under the ESPP during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1,877 and $2,723, respectively.
Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated as follows:

Securities totaling 454,073 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were excluded from the earnings per share computations above as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no such anti-dilutive securities for the three months ended June 30, 2006 or the comparable period in 2005.
Share Repurchase Program
In December 2005, the board of directors approved a $20,000 share repurchase program. Under this program, the Company may repurchase up to $20,000 of its common stock in the open market during the twelve-month period beginning December 16, 2005 as conditions warrant. Through June 30, 2006, the Company repurchased shares totaling $2,684 under this program.
Other
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized compensation costs totaling approximately $1,800 related to several former employees. Such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Real Estate Operations
This business segment includes the operations of properties under operating lease, properties under direct financing leases, real estate
under construction and development, assets held for sale and equity investments in ventures accounted for under the equity method which are engaged in these activities.

ITEM 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto as of June 30, 2006.
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Business Overview
We are a real estate and advisory company that invests in commercial properties leased to companies domestically and internationally, and earns revenue as the advisor to the following affiliated real estate investment trusts (“CPA® REITs”) that each make similar investments: Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated (“CPA®:12”), Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated (“CPA®:14”), Corporate Property Associates 15 Incorporated (“CPA®:15”), and Corporate Property Associates 16 — Global Incorporated (“CPA®:16 — Global”). Under the advisory agreements with the CPA® REITs, we perform services related to the day-to-day management of the CPA® REITs and transaction-related services. As of June 30, 2006, we own and manage over 700 commercial properties domestically and internationally including our own portfolio which is comprised of 169 commercial properties net leased to 109 tenants and totaling approximately 16 million square feet.
Our primary business segments are:
MANAGEMENT SERVICES — We provide services to the CPA® REITs in connection with structuring and negotiating investment and debt placement transactions (structuring revenue) and provide on-going management of the portfolio (asset-based management and performance revenue). Asset-based management and performance revenue for the CPA® REITs are determined based on real estate related assets under management. As funds available to the CPA® REITs are invested, the asset base for which we earn revenue increases. We may elect to receive fees in cash or restricted shares of the CPA® REITs. We may also earn incentive and disposition revenue in connection with providing liquidity alternatives to CPA® REIT shareholders.
REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS — We invest in commercial properties that are then leased to companies domestically and internationally. We currently have investments in the United States and Europe.
Current Developments and Trends
Current developments include:
INVESTMENT ACTIVITY — We earn revenue from the acquisition and disposition of properties on behalf of the CPA® REITs. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we structured approximately $83,000 in investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs. All of these investments were made on behalf of CPA®:16 — Global. Additionally, 29% of the total investments structured were for international transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we sold four properties on behalf of the CPA® REITs for approximately $260,470. We did not acquire any properties for our own portfolio in the three months ended June 30, 2006.
DISPOSITION ACTIVITY — During the three months ended June 30, 2006, we sold three domestic properties for combined proceeds of $14,317, net of selling costs, and recognized a combined net loss of $127, exclusive of impairment charges previously recorded totaling $18,660. In addition, we entered into a contract to sell a vacant domestic property for $8,000. We expect to complete this transaction during 2006 at which time we expect to record a gain on this sale of approximately $3,500.
In May 2006, Blackstone Group purchased our interest of approximately 780,000 shares of Meristar Hospitality Corp. for $10.45 per share, at which time we received $8,154 and recorded a realized gain of $4,800. We previously recognized impairment charges totaling $11,345 against this investment.
PROPOSED MERGER — On June 29, 2006, two of the CPA® REITs we manage, CPA®:12 and CPA®:14, entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which CPA®:12 will merge with and into CPA®:14, subject to the approval of the stockholders of CPA®:12 and CPA®:14. A joint proxy/registration statement was filed with the SEC on July 25, 2006 relating to the merger. CPA®:12 and CPA®:14 are currently awaiting comments from the SEC. The closing of the merger is also subject to customary closing conditions. We currently expect that the closing will occur late in the fourth quarter of 2006 at the earliest although there can be no assurance of such timing. Prior to the proposed merger, CPA®:12 will also sell certain properties or interests in properties valued at approximately

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
$199,200 (including the pro rata values of properties which, for financial reporting purposes, we will account for under the equity method of accounting), to us for approximately $120,500 in cash and our assumption of approximately $78,700 in limited recourse mortgage notes payable. CPA®:12’s sale of properties to us is contingent on the approval of the merger. These properties all have remaining lease terms of eight years or less, which is shorter than the average lease term of CPA®:14’s portfolio of properties and CPA®:14 consequently required that these assets be sold by CPA®:12. We expect to use the available credit facility to finance this transaction, however pre-tax income to be received from disposition and termination fees payable by CPA®:12 of approximately $48,845 in connection with the proposed liquidation of CPA®:12 and $7,719 as part of a special cash distribution of $3.00 per share to CPA®:12 shareholders would also be available to finance this transaction or to reduce any indebtedness incurred in connection with this transaction. The proposed purchase price of the properties is based on a third party valuation of CPA®:12’s properties as of December 31, 2005 and consequently does not take into account any changes in value that may have occurred subsequent to that date or may occur prior to the completion of this transaction.
CPA®:16 — GLOBAL PUBLIC OFFERING — Since commencing its second public offering to raise up to $550,000 on March 27, 2006, CPA®:16 – Global has raised $162,945 through June 30, 2006. We are reimbursed for marketing and personnel costs incurred in raising capital on behalf of CPA®:16 — Global, subject to certain limitations.
FINANCING ACTIVITY – In June 2006, a joint venture in which we and an affiliate each hold a 50% interest paid a $20,599 balloon payment that was due on a domestic property, and refinanced the property for $30,000. The new limited recourse mortgage financing has an annual fixed interest rate of 6.18% and a 10-year term. As a result of adopting the provisions of EITF 04-05 effective January 1, 2006, we now consolidate this investment.
QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTION — In June 2006, our board of directors approved and increased the 2006 second quarter distribution to $.454 per share payable in July 2006 to shareholders of record as of June 30, 2006.
Current trends include:
We continue to see intense competition in both the domestic and international markets for triple-net leased properties as capital continues to flow into real estate, in general, and triple-net leased real estate, in particular. We believe that low long-term interest rates by historical standards have created greater investor demand for yield-based investments, such as triple-net leased real estate, thus creating increased capital flows and a more competitive investment environment.
We believe that several factors may provide us with continued investment opportunities both domestically and internationally including increased merger and acquisition activity, which may provide additional sale-leaseback opportunities as a source of funding, a continued desire of corporations to divest themselves of real estate holdings and increasing opportunities for sale-leaseback transactions in the international market, which continues to make up a large portion of our investment opportunities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, international investments accounted for 61% of total investments made on behalf of the CPA® REITs. For the year ended December 31, 2005, international investments accounted for 54% of total investments. We currently expect international commercial real estate to continue to comprise a significant portion of the investments we make on behalf of the CPA® REITs although the percentage of international investments in any given period may vary substantially. Financing terms for international transactions are generally more favorable as they provide for lower interest rates and greater flexibility to finance the underlying property. These benefits are partially offset by shorter financing maturities.
Real estate valuations have risen significantly in recent years. To the extent that disposing of properties fits with our strategic plans, we may look to take advantage of the increase in real estate prices by selectively disposing of properties, particularly in the more mature portfolios that we manage.
Increases in long term interest rates would likely cause the value of the owned and managed assets to decrease, which would create lower revenues from managed assets and lower investment performance for the managed funds. Increases in interest rates may also have an impact on the credit quality of certain tenants. To the extent that the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) increases, additional rental income streams may be generated for leases with CPI adjustment triggers and partially offset the impact of declining property values. In addition, we constantly evaluate our debt exposure and to the extent that opportunities exist to refinance and lock in lower interest rates over a longer term, we may be able to reduce our exposure to short term interest rate fluctuation.

ITEM 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
Companies in automotive related industries (manufacturing, parts, services, etc.) are currently experiencing a challenging environment, which has resulted in several companies filing for bankruptcy protection in recent years. We currently have several auto industry related tenants in the portfolios we manage on behalf of the CPA® REITs. Some of these tenants have filed voluntary petitions of bankruptcy. If conditions in this industry worsen, additional tenants may file for bankruptcy protection and may disaffirm their leases as part of their bankruptcy reorganization plans. The net result of these trends may have an adverse impact on our asset management revenue.
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, distributions paid to shareholders and minority partners and scheduled mortgage principal payments were substantially funded by cash flow from operations and equity investments. Existing cash and cash equivalent reserves were used to fund the difference.
How Management Evaluates Results of Operations
Management evaluates our results of operations with a primary focus on increasing and enhancing the value, quality and amount of assets under management by our management services operations and seeking to increase value in our real estate operations. Management focuses efforts on underperforming assets through re-leasing efforts, including negotiation of lease renewals, or selectively selling such assets in order to increase value in our real estate portfolio. The ability to increase assets under management by structuring investments on behalf of the CPA® REITs is affected, among other things, by the CPA® REITs’ ability to raise capital and our ability to identify appropriate investments.
Management’s evaluation of operating results includes our ability to generate necessary cash flow in order to fund distributions to our shareholders. As a result, management’s assessment of operating results gives less emphasis to the effect of unrealized gains and losses, which may cause fluctuations in net income for comparable periods but has no impact on cash flow, and to other non-cash charges such as depreciation and impairment charges. In evaluating cash flow from operations, management includes equity distributions that are included in investing activities to the extent that the distributions in excess of equity income are the result of non- cash charges such as depreciation and amortization. Management does not consider unrealized gains and losses resulting from short-term foreign currency fluctuations when evaluating our ability to fund distributions. Management’s evaluation of our potential for generating cash flow includes an assessment of the long-term sustainability of both our real estate portfolio and the assets we manage on behalf of the CPA® REITs.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We evaluate our results from operations by our two major business segments — management services operations and real estate operations. A summary of comparative results of these business segments is as follows:

Asset Management Revenue
We earn asset management revenue (asset-based management and performance revenue) from the CPA® REITs based on assets under management. As funds available to the CPA® REITs are invested, the asset base for which we earn revenue increases. The asset management revenue that we earn may increase or decrease depending upon (i) increases in the CPA® REIT asset bases as a result of new investments; (ii) decreases in the CPA® REIT asset base resulting from sales of investments; or (iii) increases or decreases in the annual asset valuations of CPA® REIT funds.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 periods, asset management revenue increased $1,885 and $3,647, respectively, primarily due to a net increase in our assets under management as a result of recent investment activity of the CPA® REITs as well as increases in the annual asset valuations of the CPA® REITs, including CPA®:15, which had its initial appraisal in December 2005.
A portion of the CPA® REIT asset management revenue is based on each CPA® REIT meeting specific performance criteria and is earned only if the criteria are achieved. The performance criterion for CPA®:16-Global has not yet been satisfied as of June 30, 2006, resulting in $1,337 and $2,517 in performance revenue being deferred by us for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively. Since the inception of CPA®:16-Global, we have deferred $7,034 of performance revenue. We will only be able to recognize this revenue if the performance criterion is met. The performance criterion for CPA®:16-Global is a cumulative non-compounded distribution return to shareholders of 6%. As of June 30, 2006, CPA®:16-Global’s current distribution rate was 6.35% and its cumulative distribution return was 5.67%. Based on management’s current assessment, CPA®:16-Global is expected to meet the cumulative performance criterion during the first half of 2007, at which time we would recognize the cumulative deferred revenue. There is no assurance that the performance criterion will be achieved as projected as it is dependent on, among other factors, the investment of CPA®:16-Global’s capital raised in its second offering of its shares, and the performance of properties that CPA®:16-Global invests in generating income in excess of the performance criterion, as well as on the distribution rates that may be set by CPA®:16-Global’s board of directors. If the performance criterion is achieved, deferred incentive and commission compensation related to achievement of the performance criterion, in the amount of $3,307 (exclusive of interest) as of June 30, 2006, would become payable by us to certain employees.
Structuring Revenue
Structuring revenue includes current and deferred acquisition revenue from structuring investments and financing on behalf of the CPA® REITs. Investment activity is subject to fluctuations. As described above in the Current Developments and Trends section, we continue to face intense competition for investments in commercial properties both domestically and internationally.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, structuring revenue decreased $7,355, primarily due to a reduction in investment volume. We structured $83,000 of investments for the three months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with $262,000 in the comparable prior year period. The reduction in structuring revenue was magnified by an increase in the proportion of investments structured on behalf of CPA®:16-Global. For the three months ended June 30, 2006, 100% of investments structured related to CPA®:16 — Global as compared with approximately 50% in the comparable prior year period. Because CPA®:16 — Global has not achieved its performance criterion, no deferred acquisition revenue was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, structuring revenue decreased $8,170, primarily due to a reduction in investment volume. We structured $338,000 of investments for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared with $627,000 in the comparable prior year period. The effect of this decrease was offset in part by a reduction in the proportion of investments structured on behalf of CPA®:16-Global, for which the performance criterion has not yet been met. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, approximately 55% of investments structured related to CPA®:16 — Global as compared with approximately 64% in the comparable prior year period resulting in a lower deferral of revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable prior year period. Additionally, the reduction in structuring revenue was also partially offset by our having charged a reduced fee on an investment completed on behalf of CPA®:16-Global during the first six months of 2005.
As discussed above, a portion of the CPA® REIT structuring revenue is based on each CPA® REIT meeting specific performance criteria and is earned only if the criteria are achieved. The performance criterion for CPA®:16 — Global has not yet been satisfied as of June 30, 2006, resulting in $3,701 in structuring revenue being deferred by us for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Since the inception of CPA®:16 — Global, we have deferred $21,409 of structuring revenue and interest thereon of $1,344. We will only be able to recognize this revenue if the performance criterion is met. The current status and anticipated future achievement of the performance criterion is discussed further above. Given that we expect CPA®:16 — Global to represent a significant portion of our total 2006 investment volume relative to the other CPA® REITs, structuring revenue will continue to be affected by the deferral of a portion of such fees until CPA®:16 — Global achieves its performance criterion.
Reimbursable and Reimbursed Costs
Reimbursable costs from affiliates (revenue) and reimbursed costs (expenses) represent costs incurred by us on behalf of the CPA® REITs, primarily broker/dealer commissions and marketing and personnel costs, and reimbursed by the CPA® REITs. Revenue from reimbursed costs from affiliates is offset by corresponding charges to reimbursable costs and as such there is no impact on net income related to such income.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 periods, reimbursable and reimbursed costs increased $17,866 and $18,032, respectively, primarily due to broker/dealer commissions related to the commencement of CPA®:16 – Global’s second public offering in March 2006.
General and Administrative
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, general and administrative expenses decreased $1,956 primarily due to several factors including a reduction in compensation related costs of $1,070 primarily due to lower commissions as a result of lower investment volume, a reduction in legal related costs of $1,102 and a reduction in several other general and administrative costs totaling $623. These reductions were partially offset by severance costs incurred and increased office expenses as a result of consolidating the results of operations of a limited partnership, beginning in 2005, that was previously established to administer an office sharing agreement.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, general and administrative expenses decreased $1,817 primarily due to the same factors as described above. Compensation related costs were reduced by $1,989 while legal expenses and other general and administrative expenses decreased by $1,569 and $935, respectively. These reductions were partially offset by severance costs incurred of $1,800 and increased office expenses as described above.
Minority Interest in Loss (Income)
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, we recognized minority interest in losses of $729 and $283, respectively, as compared to minority interest in income of $618 and $1,092 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. These

ITEM 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
variances result primarily from the consolidation of the results of operations of a limited partnership, which leases our home office space. We participate in an agreement with certain affiliates, including the CPA® REITs, to share the costs associated with the leasing the home office space and as a result, reimbursements from affiliates are reflected within minority interest. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 (prior to consolidation) our share of costs related to this agreement were included within general and administrative expenses.
Net Income from Management Services Operations
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 periods, net income from management services operations decreased by $1,288 and $1,177, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in structuring revenue as a result of lower investment volume. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in asset management revenue resulting primarily from growth in assets under management and increases in the annual asset valuations of the CPA® REITs and reductions in general and administrative expenses. These variances are described above.

ITEM 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
The presentation of results of operations for our real estate operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were affected by our adoption of EITF 04-05 effective January 1, 2006. As a result of adopting EITF 04-05, we now consolidate an investment in a property leased to CheckFree Holdings Corporation Inc. that was previously accounted for as an equity investment. This contributed to the increases described below for lease revenues, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. This also resulted in a decrease of $596 in income from equity investments as compared to the comparable prior year period and a corresponding increase in minority interest in income.
Lease Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, lease revenues (rental income and interest income from direct financing leases) increased by $1,516 primarily due to the consolidation of an investment that we previously accounted for as an equity investment as well as rent increases and new lease activity at existing properties. As a result of adopting EITF 04-05 effective January 1, 2006, we recognized revenue of $1,151 from the consolidation of an investment leased to CheckFree Holdings. Rent increases and rent from new tenants at existing properties also contributed $717 of the increase. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact of non-recurring sales overrides and the effect of lower average foreign currency exchange rates in 2006 as compared to 2005 totaling $202.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, lease revenues increased by $3,023 primarily due to the same factors described above. The consolidation of an investment leased to CheckFree Holdings contributed $2,303 of the increase while rent increases and rent from new tenants at existing properties contributed $1,190 of the increase. These increases were partially offset by the negative impact of non-recurring sales overrides and the effect of lower average foreign currency exchange rates in 2006 as compared to 2005 totaling $319.
Our net leases generally have rent increases based on formulas indexed to increases in the CPI or other indices for the jurisdiction in which the property is located, sales overrides or other periodic increases, which are designed to increase lease revenues in the future.
Revenues of Other Business Operations
Revenues of other business operations consist of revenues from Livho, Inc. (“Livho”), a Holiday Inn hotel franchise which we operate at our property in Livonia, Michigan.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the comparable 2005 periods, revenues of other business operations decreased by $190 and $21, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in room occupancy rates during 2006.
Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $779 primarily due to depreciation of $427 from the reclassification of a property as an operating lease that was previously accounted for as a direct financing lease and depreciation of $234 related to the consolidation of our investment in CheckFree Holdings that we previously accounted for as an equity investment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1,274 primarily due to the same factors described above. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we incurred additional depreciation of $836 from the reclassification of a property as an operating lease that was previously accounted for as a direct financing lease and depreciation of $468 related to the consolidation of our investment in CheckFree Holdings that we previously accounted for as an equity investment.
Impairment Charge
No impairment charge was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized impairment charges of $330 and $1,130, respectively, in connection with entering into a commitment to sell our Livho property as the property’s estimated fair value was lower than its carrying value. The proposed transaction was terminated in June 2005.
Gain (Loss) on Foreign Currency Transactions, Securities and Other Gains, net
We recognized net unrealized gains on foreign currency transactions and other gains of $5,205 and $5,455 for the three and six

(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as compared to a losses of $313 and $663 for the comparable three and six months ended June 30, 2005, respectively. These increases resulted primarily from the recognition of a realized gain of approximately $4,800 in May 2006 on the sale of our Meristar Hospitality Corp common stock. In addition, we benefited from the impact of the relative weakening of the U.S. dollar compared to the Euro for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 as compared to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in the comparable prior year periods.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, interest expense increased $431, primarily due to an increase of $810 related to new fixed rate mortgage financing at existing properties obtained in 2005 and $410 related to the consolidation of our investment in CheckFree Holdings that we previously accounted for as an equity investment. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in interest payments of $773 related to our credit facility and a reduction in interest payments as a result of making scheduled principal payments. The reduction in credit facility related interest resulted from lower average outstanding balances during the comparable periods on our facility partially offset by rising interest rates.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, interest expense increased $592, primarily due to the same factors described above. New fixed rate mortgage financing obtained in 2005 contributed an additional $1,571 in interest, while the consolidation of our investment in CheckFree Holdings contributed $773. These increases were partially offset by a net reduction in interest payments of $1,481 related to our credit facility and was also partially offset by a reduction in interest payments as a result of making scheduled principal payments.
Income from Continuing Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, income from continuing operations increased $6,409, primarily due to the recognition of a realized gain of approximately $4,800 on the sale of our Meristar common stock as well as an increase in lease revenues of $1,516 primarily from rent increases at existing properties and the consolidation of our investment in CheckFree Holdings. These variances are described above.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, income from continuing operations increased $8,139 primarily due to the same factors described above. We recognized a realized gain of approximately $4,800 on the sale of our Meristar common stock as well as an increase in lease revenues of $3,023 primarily from rent increases at existing properties and the consolidation of our investment in CheckFree Holdings. These variances are described above.
Discontinued Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2006, we incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $739 due to losses from the operations of discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $4,720 primarily due to the recognition of impairment charges totaling $3,357.
For the three months ended June 30, 2005, we earned income from discontinued operations of $4,011 primarily due to a gain from the sale of real estate of $9,139 which was partially offset by impairment charges totaling $5,819. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we incurred a loss from discontinued operations of $3,339 primarily due to the recognition of impairment charges totaling $14,691 which were partially offset by net gains from the sales of real estate totaling $9,119 and income from the operations of discontinued operations of $2,233.
The effect of suspending depreciation was $72 and $198 for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and was $187 and $337 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Uses of Cash during the Period
There has been no material change in our financial condition since December 31, 2005. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15,593 as of June 30, 2006, an increase of $2,579 from the December 31, 2005 balance. We believe that we will generate sufficient cash from operations and, if necessary, from the proceeds of limited recourse mortgage loans, unused capacity on our credit facility, unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We assess our ability to access capital on an ongoing basis. Our use of cash during the period is described below.

W. P. CAREY & CO. LLC
ITEM 2. — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
(Amounts in thousands, except share amounts)
OPERATING ACTIVITIES — In evaluating cash flow from operations, management includes cash flow from distributions received on equity investments, which are included in investing activities to the extent that the distributions in excess of equity income are the result of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, cash flow from operations and equity investments of $38,671 was sufficient to pay distributions to shareholders of $34,356. For 2006, we have elected to continue to receive all performance revenue from the CPA® REITs as well as the asset management revenue payable by CPA®:16 — Global in restricted shares rather than cash. However, for 2006 we have elected to receive the base asset management revenue from CPA®:12 in cash. Operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 benefited by $1,869 as a result of receiving CPA®:12’s base asset management revenue in cash instead of restricted shares. We expect that annual cash flows for 2006 will benefit by approximately $3,800 as a result of this election.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we received revenue of $9,315 in connection with structuring investments and revenue of $13,299 from providing asset-based management services on behalf of the CPA® REITs, exclusive of that portion of such revenue being satisfied by the CPA® REITs through the issuance of their restricted common stock rather than paying cash. In January 2006, we received $15,474 from the annual installment of deferred acquisition revenue, including interest. The installments are subject to certain subordination provisions. CPA®:16-Global has not yet met the subordination provisions and management currently anticipates that no deferred amounts will be recognized by us and payable by CPA®:16-Global before the first half of 2007.
Our real estate operations provided cash flows (contractual lease revenues, net of property-level debt service) of approximately $24,545. Annual cash flow from operations is currently projected to fund distributions to shareholders; however, operating cash flow fluctuates on a quarterly basis due to factors that include the timing of the receipt of transaction-related revenue, the timing of certain compensation costs that are paid and receipt of the annual installment of deferred acquisition revenue and interest thereon in the first quarter.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES — Our investing activities are generally comprised of real estate transactions (purchases and sales) and capitalized property related costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2006 we received $22,471 in proceeds from the sale of properties and investments of which $9,163 was placed in an escrow account for a potential future investment. We made capital improvements totaling $3,874 to existing properties and also paid our annual installment of deferred acquisition revenue of $524 to our former management company relating to 1998 and 1999 property acquisitions. The remaining obligation as of June 30, 2006 is $661. We currently anticipate using cash from operations to fund the remaining obligation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we provided our affiliate, CPA®:15, with $84,000 to fund the early repayment of a mortgage obligation. This loan was used to facilitate the completion of the sale of one of its properties and was repaid the next business day. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we received distributions of $3,255 from the CPA® REITs, with $1,646 included in cash flows from investing activities, representing an amount in excess of the income recognized on the CPA® REIT investments for financial reporting purposes.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES — During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we paid distributions to shareholders of $34,356. In addition to paying distributions, our financing activities included making scheduled mortgage principal payments of $5,705 and paying down the outstanding balance on our credit facility by $13,000. Gross borrowings under the credit facility were $25,000, which were used for several purposes in the normal course of business, and repayments were $38,000. In addition, we obtained $30,000 from the refinancing of an investment leased to CheckFree Holdings that we now consolidate in accordance with EITF 04-05. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2006, we received $4,031 from the release of escrow funds that we deposited during 2005 in connection with obtaining mortgage financing on several investments and raised $3,652 from the issuance of shares primarily through our Distribution Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan.
In the case of limited recourse mortgage financing that does not fully amortize over its term or is currently due, we are responsible for the balloon payment only to the extent of our interest in the encumbered property because the holder generally has recourse only to the collateral. When balloon payments come due, we may seek to refinance the loans, restructure the debt with the existing lenders or evaluate our ability to satisfy the obligation from our existing resources including our revolving line of credit. To the extent the remaining initial lease term on any property remains in place for a number of years beyond the balloon payment date, we believe that the ability to refinance balloon payment obligations is enhanced. We also evaluate our outstanding loans for opportunities to refinance debt at lower interest rates that may occur as a result of decreasing interest rates or improvements in the credit rating of tenants. We believe we have sufficient resources to pay off the loans if they are not refinanced.

Cash Resources
As of June 30, 2006, we had $15,593 in cash and cash equivalents, which can be used for working capital needs and other commitments and may be used for future investments, including financing the purchase of certain properties from CPA®:12. We also have a credit facility with unused capacity of up to $173,000 available as of June 30, 2006, which is also available to meet working capital needs and other commitments. In addition, debt may be incurred on unleveraged properties with a carrying value of $225,382 as of June 30, 2006, subject to meeting certain financial ratios on our credit facility, and any proceeds may be used to finance future investments. We continue to evaluate fixed-rate financing options, such as obtaining limited recourse financing on our unleveraged properties. Any financing obtained may be used for working capital objectives and may be used to pay down existing debt balances. In addition, during July 2006, we received approximately $1,600 from CPA®:14 as part of a special cash distribution of $.45 per share to CPA®:14 shareholders in connection with the gain on sale of certain properties.
The credit facility has financial covenants requiring us, among other things, to maintain a minimum equity value and to meet or exceed certain operating and coverage ratios. We are in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2006. Advances are prepayable at any time. Amounts drawn on the credit facility, which expires in May 2007, bear interest at a rate of either (i) the one, two, three or six-month LIBOR, plus a spread which ranges from 0.6% to 1.45% depending on leverage or corporate credit rating or (ii) the greater of the bank’s Prime Rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus .50%, plus a spread of up to .125% depending on our leverage ratio. We can renew the credit facility for an additional one year period.

    Available   Balance   Available   Balance
Credit Facility
  $ 175,000     $ 2,000     $ 225,000     $ 15,000  
Cash Requirements
During the next twelve months, cash requirements will include paying distributions to shareholders, scheduled mortgage principal payments (our next balloon payment is not due until August 2007), making distributions to minority partners as well as other normal recurring operating expenses. We may also seek to use our cash to invest in new properties, to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program and maintain cash balances sufficient to meet working capital needs. We may issue additional shares in connection with investments in real estate when it is consistent with the objectives of the seller.
We have budgeted capital expenditures of up to approximately $3,565 at various properties during the next twelve months. The capital expenditures will primarily be for tenant and property improvements in order to enhance a property’s cash flow or marketability for re-leasing or sale.
We expect to meet our capital requirements to fund future investments, any capital expenditures on existing properties and scheduled debt maturities on limited recourse mortgages through use of our cash reserves or unused amounts on our credit facility.
Expected Impact of Proposed Merger
In connection with the proposed merger, if approved, we expect to receive approximately $48,845 in disposition and termination fees from CPA®:12 as well as $7,719 as part of a special cash distribution of $3.00 per share to CPA®:12 shareholders, however there can be no assurances that the merger will be completed. These funds will be used, along with our credit facility and existing cash resources, to finance the purchase of certain properties or interests in properties from CPA®:12 for approximately $120,500 in cash and the assumption of debt of approximately $78,700. We may also use our credit facility to loan up to $50,000 to CPA®:14 in connection with their merger with CPA®:12. Disposition fees approximating $5,970 to be received from CPA®:12 related to properties we acquire from CPA®:12 will not be recognized as income but will reduce the cost of the properties we acquire.
We currently estimate that the properties to be acquired from CPA®:12 will generate annual lease revenue and cash flow, inclusive of minority interest, of approximately $17,030 and $13,310, respectively, and annual equity income of approximately $1,870. This additional cash flow will be partially offset by lower annual asset management revenue approximating $1,990 and interest expense incurred related to any borrowing under our credit facility to finance this transaction.

ITEM 3. — QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
(in thousands except share and per share amounts)
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest, foreign currency exchange rates and equity prices. In pursuing our business plan, the primary risks to which we are exposed are interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk.
Interest Rate Risk
The value of our real estate is subject to fluctuations based on changes in interest rates, local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of lessees, all which may affect our ability to refinance property-level mortgage debt when balloon payments are scheduled.
At June 30, 2006, $202,474 of our long-term debt bears interest at fixed rates, and therefore the fair value of these instruments is affected by changes in the market interest rates. The following table presents principal cash flows based upon expected maturity dates and scheduled amortization payments of our debt obligations and the related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates for our fixed rate debt. Annual interest rates on fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2006 ranged from 4.87% to 10.125%. The annual interest rates on our variable rate debt as of June 30, 2006 ranged from 3.86% to 8.25%.
Advances from the line of credit bear interest at an annual rate of either (i) the one, two, three or six-month LIBOR, plus a spread which ranges from 0.6% to 1.45% depending on leverage or corporate credit rating or (ii) the greater of the bank’s Prime Rate and the Federal Funds Effective Rate, plus .50%, plus a spread of up to .125% depending on our leverage.
                                                                 
    2006   2007   2008   2009   2010   Thereafter   Total   Fair value
Fixed rate debt
  $ 4,325     $ 24,682     $ 9,737     $ 36,936     $ 13,984     $ 112,810     $ 202,474     $ 200,911  
Weighted average interest rate
    7.26 %     7.80 %     7.34 %     7.31 %     7.59 %     4.75 %                
Variable rate debt
  $ 1,361     $ 4,816     $ 8,108     $ 3,291     $ 3,384     $ 32,463     $ 53,423     $ 53,423  
Annual interest expense would increase or decrease on variable rate debt by approximately $534 for each 1% increase or decrease in interest rates. A change in interest rates of 1% would increase or decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt at June 30, 2006 by approximately $3,911.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We have foreign operations in France and as such are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements of the Euro, which may affect future costs and cash flows. We are a net receiver of the Euro (we receive more cash than we pay out) and therefore our foreign operations benefit from a weaker U.S. dollar and are adversely affected by a stronger U.S. dollar relative to the Euro. For the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized a gain of $17 and a loss of $25, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized a gain of $102 and a loss of $11, respectively, in foreign currency transaction gains in connection with the transfer of cash from foreign operating subsidiaries to the parent company. The cash received was subsequently converted into dollars. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized net unrealized foreign currency gains of $400 and losses of $456, respectively. The cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment reflects a loss of $560 as of June 30, 2006. To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency forward exchange contracts or other derivative financial instruments to hedge the effects of adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

(A) Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures include our controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to ensure that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. It should be noted that no system of controls can provide complete assurance of achieving a company’s objectives, and that future events may impact the effectiveness of a system of controls.
Our chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer have conducted a review of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006. Based upon this review, our chief executive officer and acting chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2006 at a reasonable level of assurance and procedures to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
(B) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Effectiveness of this Agreement. This Agreement shall govern the operations of the Company and the rights and restrictions applicable to the Shareholders, to the extent permitted by law. Pursuant to Section 18-101(7)(a) of the Act, all Persons who become holders of Shares in the Company shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement and shall be admitted as Members. The acceptance by a Person of a certificate issued to such Person evidencing the Shares acquired in connection with the Consolidation and the acceptance by a Person of a certificate issued to such Person evidencing the acquisition of Shares from the Company or another Shareholder shall be deemed to constitute a direction to the B-14 Managing Member to execute this Agreement on such Person's behalf and a request that the records of the Company reflect such admission; and shall be deemed to be a sufficient act to comply with the requirements of Section 18-101(7)(a) of the Act and to so cause that Person to become a Shareholder and to bind that Person to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and to entitle that Person to the rights of a Shareholder hereunder). B-15 ARTICLE 3 CLASSES OF SHARES; ADMISSIONS OF SHAREHOLDERS; CAPITALIZATION 3.1. Classes of Shares.(a) The Company shall have the authority to issue the following classes and Series of Shares: (i) Shares which are designated "Listed Shares"; (ii) One or more other classes or series of Shares, as to which the Board of Directors shall have the exclusive authority, by resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of Shares or of a particular class or series thereof, to fix and determine the voting powers, full or limited or no voting power, and such designations, preferences, and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as may be desired by the Board of Directors from time to time, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware (collectively, all such other classes and series to be referred to as the "FUTURE SHARES"). (b) Each Share shall have the rights and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement or in the resolutions of the Board of Directors authorizing the issuance by the Company of such Shares; and none of such Shares shall have any preemptive rights, or give the holders thereof any rights to convert into any other securities of the Company, or give the holders thereof any cumulative voting rights, except as specifically set forth herein or in such resolutions. Except as otherwise provided herein or in a resolution of the Board of Directors, each Shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each Share held by such Shareholder. (c) The Board of Directors may cause the Company to issue such numbers of Listed Shares and Future Shares from time to time as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, and the number of such Shares is not limited. (d) If the Board of Directors determines that it is necessary or desirable to amend this Agreement or to make any filings under the Act or otherwise in order to reference the existence or creation of a class or series of Future Shares, the Board of Directors may cause such amendments and filings to be made, which filings might take the form of amendments to the Certificate; provided, however, that, unless specifically required by the Act or this Agreement, no approval or consent of any Shareholders shall be required in connection with the making of any such filing or amendment. B-16 (e) The Board of Directors, without any Consent of any Shareholder required, may effect a split or reverse split of Shares of any Series or class, by adopting a resolution therefor. If the Board of Directors determines that it is necessary or desirable to make any filings under the Act or otherwise in order to reference the existence of such a split or reverse split, the Board of Directors may cause such filings to be made, which filings might take the form of amendments to the Certificate; provided, however, that, unless specifically required by the Act or this Agreement, no approval or consent of any Shareholders shall be required in connection with the making of any such filing. (f) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Board of Directors may, without the consent of any Shareholder, amend this Agreement to the extent required to allow the Board of Directors to exercise the powers granted to it by this Section 3.1. 3.2. Additional Shareholders. In the event that the Board of Directors determines that additional funds are required by the Company for any Company purpose, or that the Company should for any reason seek to raise additional capital or acquire Property, the Board may cause the Company to sell Future Shares for a price equal to what the Board of Directors determines to be the fair value of such Shares, in exchange for cash, other property, services or any other lawful consideration to be received by the Company in consideration of such Shares (to be valued by the Board of Directors in its discretion), or may cause the Company to obtain funds as a loan from any third party upon such terms and conditions as the Board of Directors deems appropriate, or any combination thereof from time to time. The Capital Contribution of any such additional Shareholders shall be specified by the Board of Directors at the time of admission of such additional Shareholders. 3.3. Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a "CAPITAL ACCOUNT") shall be established and maintained for each Shareholder, including any substitute or additional Shareholder who shall hereafter acquire a Company Interest, in accordance with the following provisions: (a) To each Shareholder's Capital Account there shall be credited the amount of cash and fair market value of the property actually or deemed to be contributed to the Company by such Shareholder pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, such Shareholder's allocable share of Profit, and the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by such Shareholder or that are secured by any Company property distributed to such Shareholder. (b) To each Shareholder's Capital Account there shall be debited the amount of cash and the fair market value of any Company property distributed or deemed distributed to such Shareholder pursuant to B-17 any provision of this Agreement, such Shareholder's allocable share of Loss, and the amount of any liabilities of such Shareholder that are assumed by the Company or that are secured by any property contributed by such Shareholder to the Company. (c) If any asset of the Company is distributed in kind, the Company shall be deemed to have realized Profit or Loss thereon in the same manner as if the Company had sold such asset for an amount equal to the greater of (i) the fair market value of such asset, or (ii) the fair market value of any nonrecourse debts to which such asset is then subject, in each case as determined by the Board of Directors. If at any time after the date of this Agreement, the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the last sentence of the definition of Book Value set forth in Article 1 hereof, the Capital Accounts of all Shareholders shall be adjusted simultaneously to reflect the aggregate net adjustments, as if the Company recognized Profit or Loss equal to the respective amounts of such aggregate net adjustments. (d) The provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations, and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. (e) A Shareholder shall not be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Account or to receive any distributions from the Company, except as provided in Article 5 hereof, nor shall a Shareholder be entitled to make any loan or Capital Contribution to the Company other than as expressly provided herein. No loan made to the Company by any Shareholder shall constitute a capital contribution to the Company. (f) No Shareholder shall have any liability for the return of the Capital Contribution of any other Shareholder. A Shareholder who has more than one class of interest in the Company may have a separate Capital Account for each different class of interest owned. 3.4. Transfer of Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for each Transferee shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account or portion thereof of the Shareholder which such Transferee succeeds, at the time such Transferee is admitted to the Company. The Capital Account of any Shareholder whose Company Interest shall be increased by means of the Transfer to it of all or part of the Shares of another Shareholder shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such Transfer. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of, or distribution to, a then-Shareholder shall include a Capital B-18 Contribution or distribution previously made by or to any prior Shareholder on account of the Shares of such then-Shareholder. 3.5. Tax Matters Partner. The Managing Member shall be the Company's "TAX MATTERS PARTNER" (as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code), with all of the powers that accompany such status (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement). Promptly following the written request of the Tax Matters Partner, the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, reimburse and indemnify the Tax Matters Partner for all reasonable expenses, including reasonable legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Shareholders. The provisions of this Section 3.5 shall survive the termination of the Company and shall remain binding on the Shareholders for as long a period of time as is necessary to resolve with the Internal Revenue Service any and all matters regarding the federal income taxation of the Company or the Shareholders. ARTICLE 4 ALLOCATIONS 4.1. General Rules Concerning Allocations. Within 45 days after the end of each calendar month, the Company shall conduct an interim closing of books as of the end of the last day of that calendar month. On the basis of the closing of the books for each calendar month, Profit and Loss for such month shall be determined in accordance with the accounting methods followed by the Company for federal income tax purposes. 4.2. Allocations of Profits and Losses. All allocations to the Shareholders of items included within the Company's Profits and Losses attributable to each calendar month shall be allocated solely among the Shareholders recognized as Shareholders as of the last day of that calendar month, as follows: (a) The Profits and Losses shall be allocated to the holders of Shares. (b) The Tax Matters Partner is authorized to make reasonable determinations regarding the allocation of Profit and Loss under this Section 4.2, including determinations relating to the calculation of Profit or Loss, and such other items of the Company's income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as may be appropriate to carry out the intent of this Section 4.2. 4.3. Special Allocations. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, to the extent an allocation of Profit or Loss or any item thereof to any B-19 Shareholder pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement would be in violation of the requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code, the Tax Matters Partner shall comply with the requirements of such Treasury Regulations and adjust such allocations to comply with such requirements in a manner that will, in the reasonable judgment of the Tax Matters Partner, have the least effect on the amounts to be allocated and distributed under this Agreement. The Shareholders agree that if this Section 4.3 becomes applicable, the Tax Matters Partner is authorized to review and adjust the allocations made pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement. (b) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Shareholder unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Profit shall be specially allocated to such Shareholder so as to eliminate such negative balance as quickly as possible. This subparagraph is intended to constitute a "qualified income offset" under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (c) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Fiscal Year, each Shareholder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Shareholder's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f) and (j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This subparagraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Shareholder pursuant hereto. (d) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Shareholder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Shareholder's share of the net decrease in the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent and in the manner required by Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury B-20 Regulations. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This subparagraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts to be allocated to each Shareholder pursuant hereto. (e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other applicable period with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Shareholders that bear the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Treasury Regulations). 4.4. Additional Allocations. (a) The Tax Matters Partner, in order to preserve uniformity of Shares within a class, in its sole discretion, may make a special allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction but only if such allocations would not have a material adverse effect on the Shareholders and if they are consistent with the principles of Section 704 of the Code. (b) If, and to the extent that any Shareholder is deemed to recognize income as a result of any transaction between such Shareholder and the Company resulting from a compensatory transfer of Shares by the Company to such Shareholder or pursuant to Sections 482, 483, 1272-1274 and 7872 of the Code, or any similar provision now or hereafter in effect, any corresponding loss or deduction (or if unavailable, the next available loss or deduction) of the Company shall be allocated to the Shareholder who was charged with such income. (c) Adjustments to the Capital Accounts of Shareholders with respect to an adjustment to the Tax Basis of any asset of the Company pursuant to Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) of the Code shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m). 4.5. Tax Allocations. (a) For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.5, each item of Profit, gain, Loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Shareholders in the same proportion as the corresponding items are allocated pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 hereof. (b) In the event that the Book Value of any asset contributed to and held by the Company differs from its basis for federal income tax B-21 purposes ("TAX BASIS"), allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such asset shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Shareholders so as to take account of any variation between Book Value and Tax Basis in accordance with the provisions of Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Tax Matters Partner may elect any reasonable method or methods for making such allocations. (c) If the Book Value of any asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Section 0 hereof, subsequent allocations of Profit, gain, Loss and deductions with respect to such asset shall take into account any variation between Book Value and Tax Basis in accordance with the provisions of Section 704(c) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder. The Tax Matters Partner shall have the sole discretion to make special allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deductions that are consistent with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and to amend the provisions of this Agreement (without Shareholder action, notwithstanding Section 14.D of this Agreement), as appropriate, to reflect the proposal or promulgation of Treasury Regulations under Subchapter K of the Code. The Tax Matters Partner may adopt and employ such methods for (A) the maintenance of capital accounts for book and tax purposes, (B) the determination and allocation of adjustments under Sections 704(c), 734 and 743 of the Code, (C) the determination and allocation of taxable income, tax loss and items thereof under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code, (D) the determination of the identities and tax classification of Shareholders, (E) the provision of tax information and reports to the Shareholders, (F) the adoption of reasonable conventions and methods for the valuation of assets and the determination of tax basis, (G) the allocation of asset values and Tax Basis, (H) conventions for the determination of depreciation, cost recovery and amortization deductions and the adoption and maintenance of accounting methods, (I) the recognition of the transfer of Shares, (J) tax compliance and other tax-related requirements, including without limitation, the use of computer software, and to use filing and reporting procedures similar to those employed by publicly-traded partnerships and limited liability companies, as it determines in its sole discretion are necessary and appropriate to execute the provisions of this Agreement and to comply with federal, state and local tax law, and to achieve uniformity of Shares within a class. The Tax Matters Partner shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company for any expenses, penalties or other liabilities arising as a result of decision made in good faith on any of the matters referred to in the preceding sentence. If the Tax Matters Partner determines, based on advice of counsel, that no reasonable allowable convention or other method is available to preserve the uniformity of Shares within a class, or the Tax Matters Partner in its discretion so elects, Shares may be separately identified as distinct classes to reflect differences in tax consequences. B-22 ARTICLE 5 DISTRIBUTIONS, REDEMPTIONS AND CERTAIN PERMITTED CONVERSIONS 5.1. Special Distributions; Distributions of Cash Flow from Operations or Financings. This Section 5.1 (except for Section 5.1(b)) applies only to distributions other than distributions upon the liquidation of the Company (such subject being governed by Section 5.2 of this Agreement). (a) If the Board of Directors declares a distribution payable on a Distribution Date, then the holders of Shares shall be entitled to receive all such distributions which the Board has declared, with each holder of Listed Shares entitled to receive a pro-rata portion (with reference to the number of Listed Shares then-held by such holder of Listed Shares and the total number of Listed Shares then-held by all Persons) of such available distributions. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Company, nor the Board of Directors on behalf of the Company, shall make a distribution to any Shareholder on account of its Shares if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law. 5.2. Distributions Relating to Liquidation Events. Upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company, after satisfaction of all of the Company's liabilities (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment therefor), each Shareholder shall be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company, an amount in cash or in kind equal to the sum of (A) its pro-rata portion of all accrued and unpaid distributions on the Shares; plus (B) its pro-rata portion of any remaining assets of the Company. No distribution shall be made to any holder of Listed Shares that would result in such holder having a deficit balance in its Capital Account until such time as the balance of each such holder's Capital Account is zero. A consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Entity, or a sale, lease or exchange of any or all assets of the Company in consideration for the issuance of equity securities of another Entity, shall not be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, provided that the consolidation, merger, sale, lease or exchange has been approved by the majority vote of the Shareholders voting together as one class. 5.3. Priority. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is specifically acknowledged and agreed by each Shareholder that the Company's failure to pay any amounts to such Shareholder, whether as a distribution, redemption payment or otherwise, even if such payment is specifically required hereunder, shall not give such Shareholder creditor status with regard to such B-23 unpaid amount; but rather, such Shareholder shall be treated only as a Shareholder of whatever class such Person is a Shareholder, and not as a creditor, of the Company. This Section 5.3 is, as permitted by Section 18-606 of the Act, intended to override the provisions of Section 18-606 of the Act relating to a member's status and remedies as a creditor, to the extent that such provisions would be applicable in the absence of this Section 5.3. 5.4. Payments to Shareholders for Services. Any payments by the Company to a Shareholder for services rendered to or on behalf to the Company shall be treated as guaranteed payments for services under Section 707(c) of the Code. 5.5. Withholding. (a) With respect to any withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation to which the Company may be subject as a result of any act or status of any Shareholder or to which the Company becomes subject with respect to any Share, the Company shall have the right to withhold amounts distributable to such Shareholder or with respect to such Shares, to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation, pursuant to the provision contained in Section 5.5(b). (b) Each Shareholder hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from, or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Shareholder any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Managing Member determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Shareholder shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Shareholder, which loan shall be repaid by such Shareholder within fifteen (15) days after notice from the Managing Member that such payment must be made unless (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Shareholder; or (ii) the Managing Member determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Company which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Shareholder. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Shareholder. In the event that a Shareholder fails to pay when due any amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.5(b), the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make the payment to the Company on behalf of such defaulting Shareholder, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Shareholder and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Company as against such defaulting Shareholder. B-24 ARTICLE 6 SHAREHOLDERS 6.1. Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Shareholders shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Shareholder of the Company. The Shareholders shall not be required to lend any funds to the Company. Each of the Shareholders shall be liable to make payment of his, her or its respective contributions as and when due hereunder and other payments as expressly provided in this Agreement. If and to the extent a Shareholder's contribution shall be fully paid, such Shareholder shall not, except as required by the express provisions of the Act regarding repayment of sums wrongfully distributed to Shareholders, be required to make any further contributions. 6.2. Voting Rights of Shareholders; Authority of Board of Directors. (a) The Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, has full, complete and exclusive right, power and authority in the management and control of the Company's business to do any and all things necessary to effectuate the purpose of the Company; except, however, as expressly set forth herein. The members of the Board of Directors shall devote such time as is necessary to the affairs of the Company, and shall receive such compensation from the Company and such reimbursement for expenses as is permitted by the Bylaws. No Person dealing with the Board of Directors shall be required to determine its authority to make any undertaking on behalf of the Company or to determine any facts or circumstances bearing upon the existence of such authority. (b) Notwithstanding Section 6.2(a) above, but subject to Section 10.1(a), Article 12 and Article 13 hereof, any of the following must, (x) receive the approval of the Board of Directors, and (y) receive the vote, at a duly held meeting, of more than 50% in interest of the total then - issued and outstanding Shares (or, in the case of a written Consent without a meeting, more than 50% in interest of the total of such then-issued and outstanding Shares) (or such greater percentage as is then required under the Act): (i) any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, including its goodwill and its corporate franchises; (ii) any merger or consolidation of the Company (where the Company is not the surviving Entity); or B-25 (iii) any vote to dissolve the Company. (c) For purposes of this subsection and subsection (b) only, the property and assets of the Company include the property and assets of any subsidiary of the Company. As used in this subsection, "subsidiary" means any entity wholly-owned and controlled or substantially wholly-owned and controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company and includes, without limitation, corporations, partnerships, limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, limited liability companies, and/or statutory trusts. Notwithstanding subsection (b)(i) of this section, no resolution by the Shareholders or Members shall be required for a sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of property and assets of the Company to a subsidiary or among its subsidiaries. (d) Subject to Sections 7.2(a) and 7.2(b) and Articles 12 and 13 hereof, the vote, at a duly held meeting, of more than 50% interest of the total then issued and outstanding Shares (or, in the case of a written Consent without a meeting, more than 50% in interest of the total of such then-issued and outstanding Shares) shall be able to remove any Director and elect a replacement therefor. If such Shareholders intend to vote to remove a Director pursuant to this Section 6.2(d), they shall provide the removed Director with notice thereof, which notice shall set forth the date upon which such removal is to become effective. (e) The annual meeting of the holders of Shares of the Company for the election of Directors and for the transaction of such other business as properly may come before such meeting shall be held in accordance with the Bylaws. Subject to the provisions of Article 13 relating to meetings of Shareholders and related subjects, the Bylaws shall govern matters relating to, among other things, annual and special meetings, notice, waiver of notice, adjournment, proxies, written consents, procedures, and telephonic meetings, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement. (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Shareholders have voting rights with respect to a particular matter (to the extent provided herein with regard to categories of Shareholders permitted to vote on particular matters, and otherwise) only after such matter has first been approved by the Board of Directors, except with regard to (i) the removal of a Director (and the election of a replacement therefor) as provided in this Agreement, (ii) the amendment of this Agreement, (iii) any matter as to which any Share plan or Share incentive plan adopted by the Company provides otherwise, and (iv) any matter presented at a special meeting of Shareholders called upon the written request of holders of at least 10% of the outstanding Shares. B-26 (g) For purposes of this Agreement, in order for a meeting of Shareholders to be considered duly held with regard to a particular question, a quorum of more than 50% in interest of the Shares which are entitled to vote at such meeting on the particular question must be present (in person or by proxy). ARTICLE 7 DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS 7.1. General Powers of Directors. (a) Except as may otherwise be provided by the Act or by this Agreement, the property, affairs and business of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company (including but not limited to deciding whether to make various tax elections), and the Shareholders shall have no right to act on behalf of or bind the Company. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority, on behalf of the Company, to (i) hire employees and such other agents, who may be designated as officers, consultants and Persons necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purpose of the Company, and (ii) delegate to one or more Persons (or to committees of the Board of Directors) its rights and powers to manage and control the affairs of the Company. Such delegation may be in the Bylaws or by a management agreement or other agreement with such Persons and such delegation shall not cause the Directors to cease to be "MANAGERS" (within the meaning of the Act) of the Company. The management agreement or other agreement may designate a Person or Persons to be "MANAGERS" (within the meaning of the Act) of the Company. The officers shall not be "MANAGERS" (within the meaning of the Act) of the Company. The Directors shall act only as a Board, and the individual Directors shall have no power as such. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Bylaws with regard to Board of Directors, the approval of a matter by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall constitute approval by the Board of Directors (or, in the case of a written Consent without a meeting, the approval of a matter by all of the Directors shall constitute approval by the Board of Directors.) (b) No contract or transaction among the Company and one or more of its Affiliates, Directors or officers, or among the Company and any other Entity in which one or more of the Company's Affiliates, Directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the Director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) The material facts as to such Affiliate's, Director's or officer's relationship or interest as to the contract or transaction B-27 are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative vote of a majority of the disinterested Directors, even though the disinterested Directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) The contract or transaction is fair as to the Company. Interested Directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. Notwithstanding, and instead of, the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1(b), the Company shall enter into or renew no agreement pursuant to which any Affiliate of any Director would provide management services for any Property, unless such agreement is approved by a majority of the Independent Directors; and, if such approval is obtained in the case of a particular contract, such approval shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 7.1(b). Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may acquire property as tenants-in-common, in joint ventures, or in other joint ownership arrangements with Affiliates of the Company without approval of the Board other than that which would be required for transactions with non-Affiliates. 7.2. Number and Term of Office of Directors. (a) The number of seats constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be at least two, and, for so long as the Company has a class of its securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), at least five and no more than 15, with the exact number of seats on the Board of Directors to be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. At least a majority of the Directors in office at any point in time while the Company has a class of its securities registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act must be Independent Directors. Each Director (whenever elected) shall hold office until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, or removal. A Director shall not be required to be a Shareholder or a resident of the State of Delaware. (b) At each Annual Meeting of the Shareholders, Directors shall be elected for a term of office expiring at the next Annual Meeting of the Shareholders after their election. Each Director may be re-elected by the Shareholders. The terms of office of Directors shall not be affected by any decrease or increase in the number of Directors. B-28 7.3. Officers. Pursuant to the Bylaws, the Company will have officers, who need not be employees of the Company, who will have the rights and be subject to the restrictions provided therein. ARTICLE 8 LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY OF, AND INDEMNIFICATION OF, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. 8.1. Limitations on Liability of, and Indemnification of, Directors and Officers. (a) No Directors or officers of the Company shall be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company or any of the Shareholders for any act or omission performed or omitted by him or her, or for any decision, except in the case of fraudulent or illegal conduct of such Person. For purposes of this Article 8, the fact that an action, omission to act or decision is taken on the advice of counsel for the Company shall be evidence of good faith and lack of fraudulent conduct. (b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, all Directors and officers of the Company shall be entitled to indemnification from the Company for any loss, damage or claim (including any reasonable attorney's fees incurred by such person in connection therewith) due to any act or omission made by him or her, except in the case of fraudulent or illegal conduct of such Person; provided, that any indemnity shall be paid out of the assets of the Company only (or any insurance proceeds available therefor), and no Shareholder shall have any personal liability on account thereof. (c) The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person acted fraudulently or illegally. (d) The indemnification provided by this Article 8 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those indemnified maybe entitled under any agreement, vote of Shareholders or Directors, or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person. (e) Any repeal or modification of this Article 8 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director or officer of the Company existing at the time of such repeal of modifications. The Company may, if the Board of Directors of the Company deems it appropriate in its sole discretion, obtain insurance for the benefit of the Company's B-29 Directors and officers, or enter into indemnification agreements with such Directors and officers, relating to the liability of such Persons. ARTICLE 9 TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS; ADMISSION OF NEW SHAREHOLDERS 9.1. Transfers. The Listed Shares shall be freely transferable. Subject to the foregoing and in accordance with Section 2.8, any Person who is a Transferee of Shares shall, upon acceptance of a certificate evidencing the Shares, (a) automatically become a Shareholder of the Company with no further action being required on such Person's part, and (b) automatically be bound to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (and be entitled to the rights of a Shareholder hereunder). 9.2. New Shareholders. The Company may issue Future Shares pursuant to Sections 3.1; and, in accordance with Section 2.8, any Person acquiring Future Shares from the Company shall, upon acceptance of a certificate evidencing the Shares, (a) automatically become a Shareholder of the Company with no future action being required on such Person's part, and (b) automatically be bound to the terms and conditions of the Agreement (and be entitled to the rights of a Shareholder hereunder). 9.3. Lender Ownership Limit. (a) No Lender, as defined in Section 9.3(c), may own Shares nor shall Shares be accepted, purchased, or in any manner acquired by any Lender if such issuance or transfer would result in a Lender owning Shares. (b) If any Shares are accepted, purchased, or in any manner acquired by any Lender resulting in a violation of Section 9.3(a) hereof, any such purchase or acquisition shall be null and void with respect to such Shares ("EXCESS SHARES"). If the last clause of the foregoing sentence is determined to be invalid by virtue of any legal decision, statute, rule or regulation, such Lender shall be conclusively deemed to have acted as an agent on behalf of the Company in acquiring the Excess Shares and to hold such Excess Shares on behalf of the ultimate owner of such Excess Shares. Any Lender who receives dividends, interest or any other distribution paid on account of Excess Shares shall hold and retain these dividends, interest or any other distribution an agent for the ultimate owner of such Excess Shares. While the Excess Shares are so held on behalf of the ultimate owner of such Excess Shares, such Excess Shares shall not have any voting rights and shall not be considered for purposes of any Shareholder vote and/or for determining a quorum for such a vote. The Excess Shares shall be treated as outstanding Shares. B-30 In the event that a Shareholder knowingly holds Excess Shares and the other Shareholders' basis for federal income tax purposes is reduced, such Shareholder shall be required to indemnify the Company for the full amount of any damages and expenses (including the Company's estimate of the costs (including tax costs) to the other Shareholders, reasonable attorneys' fees and administrative costs) resulting from the shift of basis for federal income tax purposes. Upon discovering the ownership of any Excess Shares, the Managing Member may (i) cause the Company to immediately redeem such Excess Shares at the Redemption Price (as defined below) or (ii) grant the Shareholder 30 days to transfer such Excess Shares to any Person whose ownership of such Excess Shares would not result in a violation of Section 9.3(a) hereof. Upon such permitted transfer, the Company shall pay or distribute to the transferee any dividends on the Excess Shares not previously paid or distributed. If such Excess Shares are not transferred within such 30 day period, the Company will redeem such Shares at the Redemption Price (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 9.3, the "REDEMPTION PRICE" shall mean the lesser of the price paid for such Excess Shares by the Shareholder in whose possession the redeemed Shares were Excess Shares or the fair market value of the Excess Shares. (c) For purposes of this Section 9.3, the term "LENDER" shall mean (i) any Person who is currently owed money by the Company or any one or more of the CPA, (ii) Partnerships in an amount exceeding $1,000,000 and (iii) any Person related to a Person described in (i) under the rules of Treas. Reg sec. 1.752-4(b). (d) The Managing Member may exempt a Lender from the provisions of this Section 9.3 upon receipt of an opinion of counsel that other Shareholders will not suffer any material negative affects as a consequence of such Lender owning Shares. (e) If any provision of this Section 9.3 or any application thereof is determined to be invalid by any federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issue, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected and other applications of such provision shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court. ARTICLE 10 DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION 10.1. Events of Dissolution. (a) In accordance with Section 18-801 of the Act, and the provisions therein permitting this Agreement to specify the events of the Company's dissolution, the Company has perpetual existence but shall be B-31 dissolved and the affairs of the Company wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) expulsion, bankruptcy (as defined in Section 18-304 of the Act) or insolvency or dissolution of the Managing Member, absent a vote of Shareholders holding interests in more than 50% of the profits and capital of the Company to continue the Company within 90 days following such event; (ii) the vote of the Shareholders pursuant to Sections 6.2(b) and 6.2(f) hereof; or (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy (as defined in Section 18-304 of the Act) or dissolution of a Shareholder or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Shareholder in the Company, shall not cause the dissolution of the Company except to the extent specified above in this Section 10.1(a). (b) Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs which gives rise to the dissolution, but the Company shall not terminate until the assets of the Company shall have been distributed as provided herein and a certificate of cancellation of the Certificate has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. 10.2. Application of Assets. In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied, first, as required by Section 18-804(a)(1) of the Act, and then in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Article 5. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation sec. 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), liquidation distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year in which the Company liquidates or, if later, within 90 days of the date of such liquidation. Distributions may be made to a trust for the purposes of an orderly liquidation of the Company by the trust in accordance with the Act. 10.3. Gain or Losses in Process of Liquidation. Any gain or loss on the disposition of Company property in the process of liquidation shall be credited or charged to the Capital Accounts of Shareholders in accordance with the provisions of Article 3. Any property distributed in kind in the liquidation shall be valued and treated as though the property was sold at its fair market value and the cash B-32 proceeds were distributed. The difference between the fair market value of property distributed in kind and its Book Value shall be treated as a gain or loss on the sale of such property and shall be credited or charged to the Capital Account of Shareholders in accordance with Article 3; provided, that no Shareholder shall have the right to request or require the distribution of the assets of the Company in kind. 10.4. Procedural and Other Matters. (a) Upon dissolution of the Company and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation as provided in Section 10.4(b), the Persons winding up the affairs of the Company may, in the name of, and for and on behalf of, the Company, prosecute and defend suits, whether civil, criminal or administrative, settle and close the business of the Company, dispose of and convey the property of the Company, discharge or make reasonable provision for the liabilities of the Company, and distribute to the Shareholders any remaining assets of the Company, in accordance with this Article 10 and all without affecting the liability of Shareholders and Directors and without imposing liability on a liquidating trustee. (b) The Certificate may be canceled upon the dissolution and the completion of winding up of the Company, by any Person authorized to cause such cancellation in connection with such dissolution and winding up.

"CONTROL SHARES" means Shares that, except for this Article 13, would, if aggregated with all other Shares (including Shares the acquisition of which is excluded from the definition "CONTROL SHARES ACQUISITION" below) owned by a Person or in respect of which that Person is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, except solely by virtue of a revocable proxy, entitle that Person, directly or indirectly, to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of Shares within any of the following ranges of voting power: (a) One-fifth or more, but less than one-third of all voting power; (b) One-third or more, but less than a majority of all voting power; or (c) A majority or more of all voting power. but such definition includes Shares only to the extent that the Acquiring Person, following the acquisition of the Shares, is entitled, directly or indirectly, to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power within any level of voting power set forth in B-42 this section for which approval has not been obtained previously under Section [13.2].

"INTERESTED SHARES" means Shares in respect of which an Acquiring Person is entitled to exercise or direct the exercise of the voting power of Shares in the election of Directors or otherwise. B.

D. Special Meeting. 1. Except as provided in Section [13.5], if the Acquiring Person requests, at the time of delivery of an Acquiring Person statement, and gives a written undertaking to pay the Company's expenses of a special meeting, except the expenses of opposing approval of the voting rights, within ten days after the day on which the Company receives both the request and undertaking, the Board of Directors of the Company shall call a special meeting of the Shareholders, to be held within 50 days after receipt of the Acquiring Person statement and undertaking, for the purpose of considering the voting rights to be accorded the Shares acquired in the Control Shares Acquisition. 2.

B-45 E. Calls. 1. A call of a special meeting of the Shareholders is not required to be made under [Section 13.4(a)] unless, at the time of delivery of an Acquiring Person statement an Acquiring Person has: a.

A statement by the Board of Directors setting forth its position or recommendation, or stating that it is taking no position or making no recommendation, with respect to the issue of voting rights to be accorded the Control Shares. G. Redemption Rights. 1. If an Acquiring Person statement has been delivered on or before the 10th day after the Control Shares Acquisition, the Company may, at its option, redeem any or all Control Shares, except Control Shares for which voting rights have been previously approved under [Section 13.2], at any time during a 60-day period commencing on the day of a meeting at which voting rights are considered under [Section 13.4] and are not approved. 2.

Any redemption of Control Shares under this Section shall be at the fair value of the Control Shares. For purposes of this section, "FAIR value" shall be determined: a. As of the date of the last acquisition of Control Shares by the Acquiring Person in a Control Shares Acquisition or, if a meeting is held under [Section 13.4], as of the date of the meeting; and b.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Article 13 may only be amended or repealed by a vote of 80% in interest of all Shareholders, excluding any votes cast with respect to Interested Shares. ARTICLE 14 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS A. Notices. 1.

The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. C. Binding Provisions. The covenants and agreements contained herein shall be binding upon, and insure to the benefit of, the heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the respective parties hereto. D.

Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by the vote, at a duly held meeting, of more than 50% in interest of the then-outstanding Shares (or, in the case of a written Consent without a meeting, more than 50% in interest of the aggregate then-outstanding Shares) voting or acting as one class (and not as separate classes, notwithstanding the fact that there may be Shareholders of more than one class voting); provided, however, that Article 8 shall not be amended, modified or supplemented, unless such amendment, modification or supplement receives the Consent of at least 80% in interest of the holders of then-outstanding Shares.

Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and if any part of any provision is held to be illegal, void, voidable, invalid, nonbinding or unenforceable in its entirety or partially or as to any party, for any reason, such provision may be changed, consistent with the intent of the parties hereto, to the extent reasonably necessary to make the provision, as so changed, legal, valid, binding and enforceable. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, void, voidable, invalid, nonbinding or unenforceable in its entirety or partially or as to any party, for any reason, and if such provision cannot be changed consistent with the intent of the parties hereto to make it fully legal, valid, binding and enforceable, then such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired, but shall remain in full force and effect. H. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement have been inserted for the convenience of reference only, and neither such headings nor the placement of any term hereof under any particular heading shall in any way restrict or modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.
