First Union shall then have the right to elect to acquire the Group C Property (or the interest being sold in the Group C Property) or provide a loan to the Group C Property Owner subject to due diligence within the applicable Due Diligence Period by giving written notice thereof to the MARC Entity within five Business Days of receipt of the Group C Property ROFO Notice, which acquisition or loan shall be on such terms and conditions as the parties shall agree and as are customary for transactions of the nature thereof and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. 4.1.2 Election Not to Acquire Interest in Group C Property. If First Union does not exercise its rights under Section 4.1.1 hereof, then the applicable MARC Entity shall have the right to enter into the proposed transaction for the applicable Group C Property with a third party at any time within the 180 day period following the date of the Group C Property ROFO Notice for a purchase price or amount not less than 97% of the Group C Property Offer Price and on the terms and conditions set forth in the Group C Property ROFO Notice. If the applicable MARC Entity receives an offer to purchase a Group C Property (or the interest being sold in the Group C Property) for a purchase price or loan amount of less than 97% of the Group C Property Offer Price, the applicable MARC Entity can elect to either not sell or obtain the loan on the Group C Property (or the interest being sold in the Group C Property) or, if it desires to sell or obtain the loan on the Group C Property for a price or amount less than 97% of the Group C Property Offer Price within such 180 day period, the applicable MARC Entity shall give notice thereof to First Union (the "Second Group C Property Notice"), which notice shall constitute an offer to First Union pursuant to this Section 4.1.2 at the reduced purchase price or loan amount and First Union shall have a period of 5 Business Days from receipt of the Second Group C Property Notice to make the election set forth in Section 4.1.1 based on the reduced purchase price or loan amount.

First Union may upon written notice to the MARC Principals, at First Union's option and within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Group C Property ROFR Notice and the Purchase Offer to purchase the Group C Property (or the interest being sold in the Group C Property) at the price and upon the terms and conditions as are contained in the Purchase Offer and subject to 15 completion of its due diligence review within the due diligence period, if any, set forth in the Purchase Offer, in which event the applicable MARC Entity shall sell the Group C Property (or the interest being sold in the Group C Property) to First Union upon said terms and conditions and said price. The MARC Principals covenant that they shall accept no such Purchase Offer or convey a Group C Property until they have complied with the terms of this Section 4.1.3. If First Union has not sent its written notice of election to purchase the Property (or the interest being sold in the Group C Property) covered by the Purchase Offer within said five (5) Business Days then First Union shall conclusively be deemed to have waived its right of first refusal with respect to that particular Purchase Offer and the applicable MARC Entity may enter into the Purchase Offer free and clear of any rights or claims on the part of First Union; provided, however, that if the purchaser under such Purchase Offer fails to close on the purchase of the Group C Property for the purchase price or on the material terms and conditions set forth in the Purchase Offer or the Purchase Offer is otherwise terminated, the terms and provisions of this Section 4.1.3 shall again become applicable. The right of first refusal contained in this Section 4.1.3 shall not be applicable to any offer for a Group C Property permitted under Section 4.1.2 hereof. 4.2 After-Acquired Properties.

Each Member's Capital Account will be increased by (1) the amount of money contributed by such Member to the Company; (2) the Gross Asset Value of property contributed by such Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by such contributed property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752); (3) allocations to such Member of Net Profits; (4) items in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof; and (5) allocations to such Member of income described in Code Section 705(a)(1)(B). Each Member's Capital Account will be decreased by (1) the amount of money distributed to such Member by the Company; (2) the Gross Asset Value of property distributed to such Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under Code Section 752); (3) allocations to such Member of Net Losses; (4) allocations to such Member of expenditures described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B); and (5) items in the nature of expenses or losses which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof. (b) In the event of a permitted sale or exchange of a Membership Interest in the Company pursuant to Article 10 hereof, the Capital Account of the Transferring Member shall become the Capital Account of the transferee to the extent it relates to the transferred Membership Interest in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations. E-20 (c) The manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to this Section 8.2 is intended to comply with the requirements of Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and the provisions herein regarding maintenance of Capital Accounts shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. If the Company determines that the manner in which Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 8.2 should be modified in order to comply with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding provisions of this Section 8.2, the method in which Capital Accounts are maintained shall be so modified; provided, however, that any change in the manner of maintaining Capital Accounts shall properly reflect the economic agreement between or among the Members as set forth in this Operating Agreement. 8.3 Additional Capital Contributions. No Member shall be required or permitted to make any further Capital Contributions to the Company, including on account of any deficit balance in such Member's Capital Account. 8.4 Loan Calls. At such time or times as the Company shall require additional funds to pay the costs and expenses of the Company other than in connection with the expenses contemplated by Article 7 of the Omnibus Agreement, the Managers shall cause the Company to deliver to each Member a notice (the "Loan Call") setting forth the total amount of the funds so required to be made to the Company (the "Loan Call Amount") and the expected use for such funds. Within five days of receipt of the Loan Call, each Member shall make a loan to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (1) such Member's Percentage Interest and (2) the Loan Call Amount. If a Member shall fail to timely make its loan pursuant to this Section 8.4, the other Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy such Member's funding obligation by making a loan to the Company equal to the product of (i) the amount not funded by the non-funding Member and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the applicable funding Member's Percentage Interest and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Percentage Interest of all funding Members. All loans made pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall bear interest at a rate of 15% per annum, compounded annually, and shall be payable from the assets of the Company prior to any Distributions to Members. ARTICLE 9 ALLOCATIONS, INCOME TAX, DISTRIBUTIONS, ELECTIONS AND REPORTS 9.1 Allocation of Profits and Losses. (a) Net Profits of the Company for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated as follows: (i) First, to the Members in accordance with and so as to reverse all prior allocations of Net Loss pursuant to, first, Section 9.1(b)(iii) and then, Section 9.1(b)(ii); (ii) Second, to each Member in accordance with the cumulative Distributions that have been or are being made to such Member for such fiscal year (or other period) other than Distributions made to such Member pursuant to Section 9.4(a)(ii) that cumulatively do not exceed the Member's Capital Account; E-21 (iii) Third, to the Members in proportion to and to the extent of the excess of the cumulative Distributions made to them for all fiscal years completed prior to the commencement of the fiscal year (or other period) for which this allocation is being made, other than Distributions made to them pursuant to Section 9.4(a)(ii) for such completed fiscal years that cumulatively did not exceed their Capital Accounts, over the cumulative Net Profit allocated to them for the same periods pursuant to this Section 9.1(a), other than Net Profit allocated to them pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i); and (iv) Thereafter, to the Members in proportion to the Distributions that would be made to them if the Company were to make Distributions in an amount equal to the remaining Net Profit to be allocated for such fiscal year (or other period). (b) Losses. The losses shall be allocated among the Members as follows: (i) First, in accordance with and so as to reverse all prior allocations of Net Profit pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iv); (ii) Second, in accordance with the Members' respective positive Capital Accounts until their Capital Accounts have been reduced to zero; and (iii) Thereafter, in accordance with their Percentage Interests. (c) Notwithstanding the preceding Sections 9.1(a) and (b), items of Net Profit or Loss for any fiscal year ending with or after a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the commencement of the liquidation and dissolution of the Company shall be allocated in such manner as shall cause the Members' respective Capital Accounts to most nearly equal the amounts that would be distributed to them pursuant to Section 11.2(b)(iv) if, immediately following such occurrence, all assets of the Company were then sold for cash and the cash proceeds thereof applied in accordance with Section 11.2(b). 9.2 Additional Allocation Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 9: (a) Regulatory Allocations. (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 of this Operating Agreement, or any other provision of this Article 9, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such E-22 year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 9.2(a)(i) is intended to qualify as a "minimum gain chargeback" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 9.2(a)(i). (ii) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 of this Operating Agreement or any other provision of this Article 9 (except Section 9.2(a)(i)), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year, each Member who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 9.2(a)(ii) is intended to qualify as a "chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 9.2(a)(ii). (iii) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). (iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), that causes such Member to have a Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(a)(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 9 have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.2(a)(iv) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 9.2(a)(iv) qualify and be construed as a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Treasury Regulation and this Section 9.2(a)(iv). E-23 (v) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. The Net Losses allocation to any Member pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated to such Member without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. To the extent an allocation of Net Losses would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Member, the limitation set forth in this Section 9.2(a)(v) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. (vi) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 9.2(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account if necessary in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. 9.3 Tax Allocations. (a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.3, for income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2. (b) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations. Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), Tax Items with respect to Company property that is contributed to the Company by a Member shall be shared among the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the basis of the property to the Company and its initial Gross Asset Value. With respect to Company property, if any, that is initially contributed to the Company upon its formation, such variation between basis and initial Gross Asset Value shall be taken into account under the "traditional method" as described in Treasury Regulation 1.704-3(b). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of tax items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury Regulation under the same method. E-24 9.4 Distributions. (a) No Distributions shall be made to Members prior to repayment in full of any outstanding loans made by Members to the Company.

No Member shall be permitted to sell its Membership Interest to a non-Affiliated Person prior to the second anniversary of the [date hereof][Loan Advance Date]. Thereafter, no Member may sell all or a portion of its Membership Interest to a non-Affiliated third party unless prior to selling its Membership Interest, the selling Member (the "Offering Party") shall first offer the other Member (the "Non-Offering Party") the right to acquire the Offering Party's Membership Interest and its interest in the TI/CapEx Reserve, and all TI/Cap Ex Notes, Covered Notes and Reposition Notes held by the Selling Member and its Affiliates by giving notice thereof (the "ROFO Notice") to the Non-Offering Party and the purchase price for the Offering Party's interest in the Company and its interest in the TI/CapEx Reserve, and all TI/Cap Ex Notes, Covered Notes and Reposition Notes held by the Selling Member and its Affiliates (the "Offered Interests").

Upon the occurrence of a Capital Event, the Company's Net Profit or Net Loss related to such Capital Event shall be separately calculated (such Net Profit or Net Loss being the "Capital Event Net Profit" or "Capital Event Net Loss"). (a) Operating Net Profits: Operating Net Profits of the Company for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated as follows: (i) Operating Net Profits shall first be allocated among the Class A Members in the order, in the proportions and to the extent that Operating Net Losses were previously allocated to them. D-18 (ii) Operating Net Profits shall then be allocated to the Class A Members to the extent that the accrued Additional Capital Preferred Return (whether or not paid) exceeds the Operating Net Profits previously allocated in respect thereof. (iii) The remaining Operating Net Profits shall then be allocated to the Class A Members in such proportions and amounts as may be required so that their respective Capital Account balances will be proportionate to their Percentage Interests, or as nearly proportionate as possible. (b) Operating Net Losses. Operating Net Losses shall be allocated among the Class A Members as follows: (i) The losses shall first be allocated to the Class A Members in proportion to and to the extent that their respective capital contributions exceeds the losses previously allocated in respect thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 9: (a) Allocation of Deductions Related to OID. Deductions of the Company related to original issue discount on the Loan made pursuant to the Loan Agreement shall be allocated 100% to the Class B Member for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof). (b) Regulatory Allocations. (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 of this Operating Agreement, or any other provision of this Article 9, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, D-19 as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). It is intended that, pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(i) or Section 9.2(b)(ii) below, the Class B Member will be allocated items of income and gain attributable to funds applied by the [Company][Operating Company] to repay the Loan made pursuant to the Loan Agreement up to but not in excess of the deductions allocated to the Class B Member pursuant to Section 9.2(a). This Section 9.2(b)(i) is intended to qualify as a "minimum gain chargeback" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 9.2(b)(i). (ii) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 of this Operating Agreement or any other provision of this Article 9 (except Section 9.2(b)(i)), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year, each Member who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 9.2(b)(ii) is intended to qualify as a "chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 9.2(b)(ii). (iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). (iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), that causes such Member to have a Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(iv) shall be made if and D-20 only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 9 have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.2(b)(iv) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 9.2(b)(iv) qualify and be construed as a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Treasury Regulation and this Section 9.2(b)(iv). (v) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) such Member is obligated to restore to the Company, and (2) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 9.2(b)(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article 9 have been tentatively made as if this Section 9.2(b)(v) and Section 9.2(b)(iv) were not in this Operating Agreement. (vi) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. The Net Losses allocated to any Member pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated to such Member without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. To the extent an allocation of Net Losses would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Member, the limitation set forth in this Section 9.2(b)(vi) shall be applied on a Member by Member basis in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member without causing any Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. (vii) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their interests in the Company in the event that Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 l(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. (viii) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 9.2(b)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken D-21 into account if necessary in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. 9.3 Tax Allocations. (a) In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.3, for income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, "Tax Items") shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of "book" income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 9.1 and 9.2. (b) Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations. Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), Tax Items with respect to Company property that is contributed to the Company by a Member shall be shared among the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulation promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the basis of the property to the Company and its initial Gross Asset Value. With respect to Company property, if any, that is initially contributed to the Company upon its formation, such variation between basis and initial Gross Asset Value shall be taken into account under the "traditional method" as described in Proposed Treasury Regulation 1.704-3(b) and Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(c)(2). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of tax items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Treasury Regulation under the same method. 9.4 Distributions. (a) Distributions shall be made as follows: (i) Operating Cash Flow. Subject to Section 9.5 below, Operating Cash Flow, if any, shall be applied and paid to the applicable Persons by the Company as follows: (1) First, to all amounts then due on a Senior Loan; (2) Second, in an amount required to satisfy the interest then due under the Loan; (3) Third, to the payment of accrued interest at the 8.5% or 12% rate as the case may be on any TI/Cap Ex Loans pro rata to each of the lenders thereof or to the sole lender thereof, as applicable; D-22 (4) Fourth, to the payment of accrued interest at the 8.5% or 12% rate as the case may be on any Covered Loans pro rata to each of the lenders thereof or to the sole lender thereof, as applicable; (5) Fifth, to the payment of accrued interest at the 8.5% or 12% rate as the case may be on any Reposition Loans pro rata to each of the lenders thereof or to the sole lender thereof, as applicable; (6) Sixth, to the Members who have made Additional Capital Contributions in an amount equal to a 7.65% per annum return thereon (the "Additional Capital Preferred Return"); (7) Seventh, to the Members who have made Additional Capital Contributions in an amount equal to the Additional Capital Contributions, to be distributed pro rata; and (8) Thereafter, to the Class A Members pro rata in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

In the event (i) of the death or adjudication of insanity or incompetency of an individual Member, or (ii) any Member shall be the subject of a bankruptcy, the personal representative or trustee (or successor-in-interest) of the deceased, insane or incompetent Member or bankrupt Member shall be an assignee of such Member's interest in the Company having the rights set forth in Section 10.6 and shall not become an additional or substituted Member unless and until the conditions set forth in Section 10.3 are satisfied; and any such Member's estate (or successor-in-interest) shall be liable for all of its obligations as a Member. 10.6 Status of Assignee. Any person who acquires all or any portion of the interest of a Member in the Company in any manner (including, but not limited to, to a transfer permitted by Section 10.1, 10.2 or 10.5), shall not be a Member of the Company unless and until (i) the conditions of Section 10.3 are satisfied and (ii) in the case of Class A Members only, the remaining Class A Members approve by a Majority Vote the admission of such person as a Member in the Company.

Upon the filing of articles of dissolution with the Illinois Secretary of State, the existence of the Company shall cease, except for the purpose of suits, other proceedings and appropriate action as provided in the Act. The Managers shall have authority to distribute any Company property discovered after dissolution, convey real estate and take such other action as may be necessary on behalf of and in the name of the Company. 11.5 Return of Contribution Nonrecourse to Other Members. Except as provided by law or as expressly provided in this Operating Agreement, upon dissolution, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution.
