The Board shall do so by delivering to each Member a notice (the “Additional Contribution Notice”) specifying: (a) the total amount of each such Additional Capital Contribution; (b) each Member’s proportionate of such Additional Capital Contribution computed based on the Members’ Percentage Interest; and (c) the use of the requested funds.

A Member who does so contribute shall sometimes be referred to hereinafter as a “Contributing Member”. If any Member shall fail to contribute all or any portion of its Percentage Interest of such Additional Capital Contribution within the applicable period of time (hereinafter a “Declining Member”), then the Board shall send a second notice to the Declining Member stating the amount of the Declining Member’s shortfall (the “Shortfall Amount”) and if such Declining Member fails to contribute such Shortfall Amount within five days of receipt of such notice, the Board shall provide written notice thereof to all other Members (the “Shortfall Notice”). Each Contributing Member shall have the right, thereafter, within three days after receipt of the Shortfall Notice to contribute all or a portion of such Member(s)’ Shortfall Amount to the Company (a “Shortfall Contribution”), in which event such Shortfall Contribution shall be treated as a loan to the Declining Member (each, a “Member Loan”).

Section 3.6 Member Loans. Each Member Loan made pursuant to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, shall contain the following terms: (a) an initial term of one year; (b) incur interest at the rate of at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate, plus 4% (“Annual Premium Rate”), computed daily, by multiplying the amount of the advance by the quotient resulting from dividing the Annual Premium Rate by 365 and multiplying the result by the number of days since the date of advance until paid; and (c) at the expiration of the term of the Member Loan, to the extent that such loan is not repaid in full, the Member to whom such amount is due may elect, by written notice to the owing Member who is so indebted, to either (1) exercise the Right of Conversion (as provided in the prior paragraph); or (2) if such election has not been made, to deem such Member Loan as extended, and receive all distributions otherwise payable to the owing Member who is so indebted, until such Member Loan (together with all interest accrued thereon) is paid in full, in which event, such distributions shall be applied first to reduce any accrued and unpaid interest, and then to reduce any unpaid principal.

Each Member Loan made pursuant hereto shall also: (a) be non-recourse; (b) unless otherwise agreed to by the owing Member, be payable solely out of any distributions that would otherwise thereafter be payable to the owing Member pursuant to the distribution provisions hereof (for so long as any Member Loan shall be outstanding, all such distributions so paid to a Member who has advanced a Member Loan shall be deemed distributed to the owing Member to which such Member Loan was made for purposes of determining such owing Member’s Capital Account balance) and shall be allocated first to the repayment of accrued and unpaid interest, and thereafter to unpaid principal; (c) be secured by the owing Member’s Membership Interest; (d) be repayable at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty; and (e) shall mature and be fully payable, at the election of the holder, on demand at any time after the 12^th month after same was made. Each Member to whom a Member Loan is made does hereby grant to the Contributing Member making such Member Loan a first priority security interest in and to all of such owing Member’s Interest. Each owing Member shall, upon request, execute such security agreements and financing statements as may from time to time be requested by the Contributing Member making a Member Loan to better assure the security interest in such owing Member’s Membership Interest granted hereby, and, effective upon the making of any Member Loan, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Contributing Member making such Member Loan as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to make, execute on behalf of the owing Member, consent to, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, record and file such documents and instruments as may be necessary in the sole discretion of the Contributing Member to confirm and render fully effective the security interest granted herein with respect to such Member Loan.

A. If the Manager or one or more Members elect to purchase all of the Defaulting Person’s interest pursuant to the terms hereof, the closing of such purchase shall be held on a date and at a place designated by the Manager, at which time each purchasing Member shall, with respect to the portion of the Defaulting Person’s interest in the Company purchased by such Member, deliver a non interest bearing, 5 year promissory note, secured only by the Defaulting Person’s interest being purchased, payable to the Defaulting Person in an amount equal to the portion of the Defaulting Person’s Capital Account (adjusted to exclude any unrealized appreciation with respect to any of the Company’s direct or indirect assets, and to include all unrealized depreciation with respect to such assets) being purchased by such Member. The form of promissory note shall be subject to approval by the Manager of the Board.

(v) The portion of a Defaulting Person’s Percentage Interest that is reduced pursuant to Section 3.7(a)(iii) shall be reallocated among the remaining Members (other than the Defaulting Person) pro rata according to their respective Percentage Interests and/or among such other Member(s) and in such proportions as approved by the Manager of the Board.

(vi) Incorporation by Reference. When references are made to the Manager in Section 3.7 for the purposes of making a determination or for granting or withholding consent or approval, such references shall be deemed to require Board approval rather than the Manager’s approval if the Defaulting Person is the Manager or the Manager is a Principal of the Defaulting Manager.

Article 4
ALLOCATIONS

Section 4.1 Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss.

(i) Subject to Section 4.1(iii), for each Fiscal Year (or portion thereof), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Loss (and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction) of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that that would result in positive Capital Account balances equal to all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to Section 9.2 in the manner provided therein on a hypothetical liquidation of the Company. In determining the amounts distributable to the Members under Section 9.2 upon a hypothetical liquidation, the hypothetical distribution to each Member shall be equal to the amount that would be received by such Member if all Company assets were sold on the last day of the allocation period for cash equal to their basis for Capital Account purposes (provided, however, that the Company may increase or decrease Capital Accounts in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to reflect any revaluations of the Company’s property, including any write-downs in the amount thereof), all Company liabilities were satisfied to the extent required by their terms (limited, with respect to each “partner nonrecourse liability” and “partner nonrecourse debt”, as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4), to the fair market value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed in full to the Members all as of the last day of such allocation period in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof.

(ii) The parties intend that the allocation provisions of this Section 4.1 shall produce Capital Account balances of the Members that will be consistent with the distribution provisions of Section 5.2 and the liquidation provisions of Section 9.2(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent the Manager determines that the allocation provisions of this Section 4.1 may fail to produce such Capital Account balances, (i) such provisions shall be amended by the Manager to the extent necessary to produce such result; and (ii) Net Income and Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss, credit and deduction of the Company for the most recent open year (or items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures of the Company for such years) shall be reallocated among the Members to the extent it is not possible to achieve such results with allocations of Net Income and Net Loss (or items of income, gain, loss, deduction, and Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures) for the current year and future years, as determined by the Board. This Section 4.1(i) shall control notwithstanding any reallocation or adjustment of taxable income, taxable loss, or items thereof by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.

(iii) Special Allocations.

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain (as defined in the Code) during any Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.1(iii)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4.1, if there is a net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in the Code) attributable to a partner nonrecourse debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt 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 income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 4.1(iii)(ii) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (d)(5) or (d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 4.1(iii)(iii) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance after all other allocations provided for in this Article 4 have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.1(iii)(iii) were not a term of this Agreement. This Section 4.1(iii)(iii) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to 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 4.1(iii)(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 4.1(iii) have been tentatively made as if this Section 4.1(iii)(iv) and Section 4.1(iii)(iii) hereof were not in the Agreement.

(v) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any partner nonrecourse deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member 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)(1).

(vi) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 4.1(iii)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) hereof (collectively, the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the parties hereto that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 4.1(iii)(vi). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of Article 4 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Manager shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not terms of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 4.1. In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.1(iii)(vi), the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 4.1(iii)(iii) and (v) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Section 4.1(iii)(ii) and (iv).

(vii) Allocations of Withholding. To the extent the Company receives (or is deemed to receive) an amount of income that is net of any withholding tax, (A) such income shall be allocated among the Members as if the Company received the gross amount of such income before giving effect to the payment of the withholding tax; and (B) any resulting tax credit shall be allocated among the Members such that each Member receives a portion thereof reflecting the amount of withholding tax to which such Member would be subject if such Member received the gross income allocated to such Member in accordance with clause (i) above directly.

(viii) Member Loans. Any interest deductions with respect to loans to the Company by any Member shall be specially allocated to the Member making such loan.

(ix) Distributions of Nonrecourse Liability Proceeds. If, during a Fiscal Year, the Company makes a distribution to any Member of the proceeds of any nonrecourse liability of the Company that would otherwise be allocable to an increase in partnership minimum gain pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h), then the Company may elect, to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(h)(3), to treat such distribution as a distribution that is not allocable to an increase in partnership minimum gain.

(iv) With respect to any Fiscal Year during which any Member’s interest in the Company changes, allocations under Article 4 shall be adjusted appropriately to take into account the varying interests of the Members during such period.

Section 4.2 Tax Allocations.

(i) Generally. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, taxable income and loss and all items thereof shall be allocated to the Members to the greatest extent practicable in a manner consistent with the manner set forth in Section 4.1 and Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.2 are solely for federal income tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Income, Net Loss, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

(ii) Section 704(c) of the Code. In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

(iii) Adjustments Under Section 704(c) of the Code. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value”, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code.

(iv) Decisions Relating to Section 704(c) of the Code. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 4.2, including the selection of any allocation method permitted under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-3, shall be made by the Board.

Section 4.3 Limitations on Allocations to Holders of Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 4, to the extent that any Member has been granted any Units that, by the terms of such grant or by agreement, entitle the holder, once such Units vest, to receive less than the full amount of allocations of Net Income otherwise allocable with respect to such class or series of Units generally, then the provisions of such grant or agreement shall supersede such holder’s rights under this Article 4 and the amount of reduction in allocations to such holder shall be made to all other Members in accordance with this Article 4.

Section 4.4 Accounting Principles. All decisions as to accounting principles for the Company shall be made by the Manager subject to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 4.5 Interest on and Return of Capital Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution; provided, however, that this provision shall not be deemed to be contrary to the distribution requirement for Unpaid Preferred Return under Section 5.2(i).

Section 4.6 Accounting Period. The Company’s accounting period shall be the calendar year.

Section 4.7 Records. At the expense of the Company, the Manager shall maintain or cause to be maintained the books, records and accounts of all operations and expenditures (collectively, the “Records”) of the Company.

Section 4.8 Tax Returns and Tax Elections.

(i) The Manager shall cause to be prepared and filed, at the expense of the Company, all required state and federal informational tax returns for the Company on or before the date that such returns are due (including, pursuant to extensions, if obtained by or on behalf of the Company), and shall cause to be prepared and delivered to all Members, all completed informational returns due to the Members, including, without limitation, K-1 forms promptly after same are prepared. All expenses incurred in connection with the above shall be borne by the Company.

(ii) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Manager shall make all applicable elections, determinations and other decisions under the Code (or any other federal or state law), including, without limitation, the deductibility of a particular item of expense and the positions to be taken on the Company’s tax return, and shall approve the settlement or compromise of all audit matters raised by the Internal Revenue Service or other taxing authority affecting the Members generally. The Members each shall take reporting positions on their respective federal, state and local income tax returns consistent with the positions determined for the Company by the Manager.

Section 4.9 Tax Matters Member.

(i) The Manager is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Member” (as defined in Code Section 6231 and for purposes of this Agreement defined as the Tax Matters Member), and, subject to the further terms of this Section 4.9, is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including, without limitation, administrative and judicial proceedings, subject to the further terms of this Section 4.9, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. The Members agree to cooperate with each other and to do or refrain from doing any and all things reasonably required to conduct such proceedings. All expenses incurred in connection with any such audit and with any other tax investigation, settlement or review shall be borne by the Company.

(ii) In the event that the Company shall be the subject of an audit by any federal, state or local taxing authority, to the extent that the Company is treated as an entity for purposes of such audit, including administrative settlement and judicial review, the Manager shall be authorized to act for, and his decision shall be final and binding upon, the Company and each Member thereof; provided, however, that the Manager shall (i) notify the Members of any administrative proceeding with respect to the Company pursuant to Section 6223(c) of the Code; (ii) furnish the Members with any material correspondence or communication relating to the Company from the Internal Revenue Service received by the Manager; and (iii) make all decisions affecting the tax affairs of the Company in good faith using reasonable business judgment (it being understood and agreed that for the purposes of this Agreement, the term “reasonable business judgment” shall refer to the “business judgment rule” as the same would be applied under Applicable Law if the Person in question were a director of a corporation).

(iii) The Company shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters Member for all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, legal and accounting fees, claims, liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liability of the Members.

Article 5
DISTRIBUTIONS

Section 5.1 Distributions. The Manager shall from time to time determine the amounts of Distributable Cash available for distribution and the timing of distributions, taking into account all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Company then due, and working capital and other amounts deemed necessary to be reserved to meet the Company’s anticipated needs (taking into account the needs of the Company’s Subsidiaries and the assets, properties, undertakings and commitments of the Company and the Subsidiaries) and as may, in the Manager’s reasonable discretion, be needed to affect the respective business plans of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and the customary and usual obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and any claims known by the Manager to exist or which have been threatened, or which may, based on the passage of time become a claim, against the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses, assets and properties; provided, however, if any Distributable Cash as determined by the Manager is available for distribution in any calendar year, the Company shall make at least one distribution of Distributable Cash at least once during each calendar year. To the extent that the Manager shall determine that the Company generates Distributable Cash on a consistent and predictable basis, the Manager shall endeavor (but shall not be obligated to) make monthly distributions of Distributable Cash to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Manager may periodically review any reserves created and may increase such reserves or release any excess amounts in such reserves for distribution in accordance with this Article 5.

Distributions shall be made only to such Persons who, according to the books and records of the Company, is the holder of record of a Membership Interest on the actual date of distribution. Neither the Manager nor the Company shall incur any liability for making distributions, or determining that the Company is not then in a position to make distributions, in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence.

Except upon a dissolution or liquidation, no Member has any right to demand and receive any distribution in any form other than cash.

Section 5.2 Distribution of Distributable Cash. Subject to the repayment requirements of any Member Loans, Distributable Cash shall be distributed by the Manager to the Members not less often than monthly within 15 days after the end of each calendar month in which the Company has distributable cash as follows:

(i) First: 100% to the Members, in proportion to their Unpaid Preferred Returns, until such time as the Members’ Unpaid Preferred Returns have been reduced to zero;

(ii) Second: 100% to the Members in proportion to their Unrecouped Capital Contributions until such time as the Members’ Unrecouped Capital Contributions have been reduced to zero;

(iii) Third: Thereafter, 100% to the T-9 Developer Member until such time as the T-9 Developer Member shall have received an aggregate total of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) distributed to the T-9 Developer Member pursuant to this subsection 5.2(iii);

(iv) Fourth: Thereafter, until such time as the Members have received distributions which in the aggregate have resulted in a twenty five percent Internal Rate of Return on each Members’ aggregate Capital Contributions: (A) a sum equal to (i) twenty (20%) percent of the remaining Distributable Cash reduced (but not below zero) by (ii) the 20% Recouped Promote to the Day-to-Day Manager; and (B) the balance of all Distributable Cash to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests; and

(v) Fifth: from and after such time as the Members have received distributions which in the aggregate have resulted in a twenty five percent Internal Rate of Return on each Members’ aggregate Capital Contributions: (A) a sum equal to (i) fifty percent (50%) percent of the remaining Distributable Cash reduced (but not below zero) by (ii) the 50% Recouped Promote to the Day-to-Day Manager; and (B) the balance of all Distributable Cash to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

Section 5.3 Limitation on Distributions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other agreement relating to the T-9 Project, the parties hereto expressly agree and acknowledge that until such time as the T-9 Project shall have generated any Distributable Cash available for distributions under this Agreement (which shall be the same time that the Contributors under the Contribution Agreement shall first be entitled to receive any dividends or other distributions with respect to the OP Units being issued to the Contributors under the Contribution Agreement), no Member shall be entitled to, and each Member hereby expressly waives any right to receive any Unpaid Preferred Return, and the Unpaid Preferred Return shall commence to be computed only after the T-9 Project shall have generated any Distributable Cash available for distributions under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no distributions shall be made to any Member, if, after such distribution or is made (a) the Company would be insolvent; or (b) the net assets of the Company would be less than zero, in each case, as determined by the Manager or the Board. The Manager may base a determination that a distribution may be made in good faith reliance upon a balance sheet and profit and loss statement of the Company represented to be correct by the person having charge of its books of account or certified by an independent public or certified public accountant or firm of accountants to fairly reflect the financial condition of the Company.

Section 1.2 Receipt of Fair Value; Withholding. Notwithstanding any provision of the Act, no Person that ceases to be a Member of the Company shall be entitled to receive the fair value of such Person’s interest in the Company prior to the dissolution and winding up of the Company. The Company shall at all times be entitled to make payments with respect to any Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company to withhold from a distribution or make payments to any governmental authority with respect to any foreign, federal, state or local tax liability of such Member arising as a result of such Member’s interest in the Company (a “Withholding Payment”). Any Withholding Payment made from funds withheld upon a distribution will be treated as distributed to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement. Any other Withholding Payment will be deemed to be a recourse loan by the Company to the relevant Member. The amount of any Withholding Payment treated as a loan, plus interest thereon from the date of each such Withholding Payment until such amount is repaid to the Company at an interest rate of 8% per annum, shall be repaid to the Company upon demand by the Company; provided, however, that in the Manager’s sole discretion, any such amount may be repaid by deduction from any distributions payable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement (with such deduction treated as an amount distributed to the Member) as determined by the Manager in its sole discretion.

If for any reason (other than the reasons set forth in clauses (a) to (c) of this section above) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the Indemnified Party in question or is insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party in question as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Indemnified Party in question on the other hand or, if such allocation is not permitted by Applicable Law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also any other relevant equitable considerations. To the extent that the foregoing provision is inconsistent with or conflicts with other provisions of this Agreement regarding Manager’s duties and responsibilities concerning any Development Plan, those provisions relevant to the Development Plan supersede this section, govern and control.

Section 7.16 Preemptive Rights. The Company shall only issue New Units in accordance with the following terms:

(a) Notwithstanding clauses (b) through (i) of this Section 7.16, the Board may waive, either prospectively or retrospectively, any and all rights arising under this Section 7.16 with respect to the issuance of any New Units to any Person, or may elect to waive the rights under this Section 7.16 with respect to the issuance of a portion of such New Units (a “Partial Waiver”), provided none of the Members or their Affiliates are purchasing those New Units subject to a waiver or Partial Waiver, and any such waiver or Partial Waiver shall be effective as to all holders with such rights under this Section 7.16.

(b) In the event the Company desires to issue any New Units or other Membership Rights, with the prior approval of the Board pursuant to Section 6.8, it shall first deliver to each Member that demonstrates to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction that it is an “accredited investor” (within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) (collectively, the “Preemptive Rights Holders” and each a “Preemptive Rights Holder”) a written notice (each such notice, a “Notice of Proposed Issuance”) specifying the name and address of the proposed purchaser of the New Units or other Membership Rights (each such purchaser, a “Proposed Buyer”), the type and total number of such New Units or other Membership Rights which the Company then desires to issue to such Proposed Buyer (such New Units or other Membership Rights, the “Offered New Units”), all of the material terms, including the price, upon which the Company proposes to issue such Offered New Units to such Proposed Buyer, and stating that the Preemptive Rights Holders shall have the right to purchase such Offered New Units in the manner specified in this Section 7.16 at the price and in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in such Notice of Proposed Issuance.

(c) During the 10 Business Day period commencing on the date on which the Preemptive Rights Holders receive the Notice of Proposed Issuance (the “Offer Period”), each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have the option to purchase the Offered New Units subject to such Notice of Proposed Issuance at the price and terms specified in such Notice of Proposed Issuance and in the amount specified in Section 7.16(d). A Preemptive Rights Holder shall give written notice of its election to purchase Offered New Units to the Company on or before the last day of the Offer Period and, if a Preemptive Rights Holder has not given such written notice within such period, such Preemptive Rights Holder shall be deemed to have rejected its right to purchase the Offered New Units. If the Offered New Units are being offered as a part of an investment unit together with debt or other instruments, any election by a Preemptive Rights Holder to purchase Offered New Units shall also constitute an election to purchase a like portion of such debt or other instruments. Each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have the right to condition his, her or its purchase of the Offered New Units upon the closing of the sale of the balance of such Offered New Units.

(d) Each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have the right to purchase up to that number of the Offered New Units as shall be equal to the number of the Offered New Units multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Units then owned by such Preemptive Rights Holder and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Units then owned by all of the Preemptive Rights Holders thereof. The amount of such Offered New Units that each Person is entitled to purchase under this Section 7.16(d) shall be referred to as its “Proportionate Share”.

(e) Each Preemptive Rights Holder shall have a right of oversubscription (pursuant to one process pursuant to this subsection only) such that if any Preemptive Rights Holder fails to elect to purchase its full Proportionate Share of the Offered New Units, the remaining Preemptive Rights Holders shall, among them, have the right to purchase up to the balance of the Proportionate Shares of such Offered New Units not so purchased. Each Preemptive Rights Holder may exercise such right of oversubscription by electing to purchase more than its Proportionate Share of the Offered New Units by so indicating in its written notice given during the Offer Period. If, as a result thereof, such oversubscriptions exceed the total number of the Offered New Units available in respect to such oversubscription privilege, the oversubscribing Preemptive Rights Holders shall be cut back with respect to oversubscriptions on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares or as they may otherwise agree among themselves.

(f) If some or all of the Offered New Units have not been purchased by the Preemptive Rights Holders pursuant to Section 7.16(b) through (e) hereof, then the Company shall have the right, until the expiration of 180 days commencing on the first day immediately following the expiration of the Offer Period, to issue such remaining Offered New Units to the Proposed Buyer or one or more third parties at not less than, and on terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than, the price and terms specified in the Notice of Proposed Issuance. If for any reason the Offered New Units are not issued within such period and at such price and on such terms, the right to issue in accordance with the Notice of Proposed Issuance shall expire and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to be applicable to the Offered New Units.

(g) The Preemptive Rights Holder purchasing the greatest percentage of any Offered New Units shall set the place, time and date for the closing of the purchase of the Offered New Units, which closing shall be no later than the date of the closing of the sale of any Offered New Units to the Proposed Buyer. The purchase price for the Offered New Units shall, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties to such transaction, be paid in immediately available funds on the date of the closing.

(h) The Company may proceed with the issuance of New Units without first following procedures in Section 7.16(b) through (g) above, provided that (i) the purchaser of such New Units agrees in writing to take such New Units subject to the provisions of this Section 7.16(h); and (ii) within 10 days following the issuance of such New Units, the Company or the purchaser of the New Units undertakes steps substantially similar to those in Section 7.16(b) through (g) above to offer to all Preemptive Rights Holders the right to purchase from the Company or such purchaser a pro rata portion of such New Units or equivalent at the same price and terms applicable to the purchaser’s purchase thereof so as to achieve substantially the same effect from a dilution protection standpoint as if the procedures set forth in Section 7.16(b) through (g) had been followed prior to the issuance of such New Units.

(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Preemptive Rights Holder shall have any rights under this Section 7.16 if (x) at any time such Preemptive Rights Holder has failed to purchase its Proportionate Share of New Units that (1) had not been the subject of a waiver or Partial Waiver pursuant to Section 7.16(a); and (2) such Preemptive Rights Holder had the right to purchase under this Section 7.16; or (y) such Member breaches this Agreement or any confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation obligations to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

ARTICLE 8
TRANSFERABILITY

Section 8.1 Restrictions on Transfers.

Any Transfer in contravention of this Section 8.1 shall be null and void. In addition, any Transferee (whether or not pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) will not become a Substituted Member, unless and until the Transferee executes and delivers to the Company a counterpart of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the instrument of Transfer and approved by the Board, any Substituted Member admitted to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Article 8 will succeed to all rights and be subject to all the obligations of the Transferor Member with respect to the Units to which the Transferee Member was substituted.

(b) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Transferor and Transferee will be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses (including legal fees) in connection with any Transfer or proposed Transfer of a Member’s Units. As a condition to any Transfer of Units in the Company, the Transferor and the Transferee shall provide such legal opinions and documentation as the Manager shall reasonably request.

Section 8.2 Right of First Refusal. Except with respect to Permitted Transfers (hereinafter defined), if a Member who holds a Membership Interest in the Company (a “Selling Member”) desires to sell all or any portion of its Membership Interest (“Offered Interest”), the Selling Member shall obtain from the proposed purchaser a written offer (“Offer”) to purchase such Offered Interest, stating the terms and conditions upon which the purchase is to be made and the consideration offered therefor which must be payable in money. The Selling Member shall give written notification of such proposed sale to the Manager and all remaining Member(s) (the “Remaining Members”), which notice shall be set forth the name and address of the proposed purchaser and the terms and conditions of the proposed sale (“Transfer Notice”), and shall be accompanies by a copy of the purchase agreement, letter of intent or other written offer by the proposed purchaser to purchase the Offered Interest. All Offers must be to or by bona fide third parties at arm’s length terms.

Section 8.3 Priority of Rights.

(a) The Members shall each have the first right on behalf of the Company to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Interest at the same purchase price and upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Offer by the proposed purchaser, by providing the Selling Member with a written notice to such effect within 20 days of receipt of the Transfer Notice (“Response Notice”). If the Members shall elect not to purchase the Offered Interest on behalf of the Company, then, the Manager shall have the right, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Interest at the same purchase price and upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Offer by the proposed purchaser, by providing the Selling Member with a written notice to such effect within 20 days of receipt of the Transfer Notice (“Manager Response Notice”). If the Manager shall elect not to purchase the Offered Interest, then the Manager shall notice the Remaining Members (the “Second Transfer Notice”), who shall have the right, on a pro rata basis relative to their respective Membership Interests, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Offered Interest at the same purchase price and upon the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Offer by the proposed purchaser, by providing the Selling Member and the Manager with a written notice to such effect within 20 days of receipt of the Second Transfer Notice (also a “Response Notice”).

(b) If the Manager or one or more Remaining Members (each a “Purchasing Member”) gives the Selling Member a Response Notice, the Selling Member will be obligated to sell the Offered Interest to the Purchasing Member(s), and the Purchasing Member(s) will be obligated to buy the Offered Interest at the purchase price and upon the other terms stated in the Transfer Notice.

(c) The closing of the sale of the Offered Interest to the Purchasing Member(s) shall take place at the office of the Company no later than 30 days from the delivery of the Response Notice (i.e., no later than the end of 50 days from the receipt of the Transfer Notice.).

(d) If the Board does not elect to have the Company purchase the Offered Interest, and the Manager and all of the Remaining Members do not give a Response Notice and advise the Selling Member of their desire to exercise their right and purchase the Offered Interest as provided for herein, then the Selling Member will be entitled to sell the Offered Interest under the terms stated in the Offer, and for a period of 180 days commencing at the end of the 21st day period after the receipt of the last of the Transfer Notice or Second Transfer Notice as aforementioned. If the Selling Member did not sell its Offered Interest within such 180-day period, the Selling Member will not be permitted to perform such sale and/or any other sale and/or Transfer, without subjecting it to the new fulfillment of the provisions of this Section 8.3. All expenses associated with the sale of Membership Interests by a Member shall be paid for by the Selling Member. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the sale of Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 herein.

Section 8.4 Tag Along Rights.

(a) In the event that (i) a Selling Member receives an Offer to purchase all or any portion of such Member’s Membership Interest; (ii) the Manager and the Remaining Members do not exercise their rights of first refusal under Section 8.2 hereof; and (iii) the Selling Member desires to sell the Offered Interest on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer pursuant to Section 8.2 (the “Tag-Along Sale”), the Selling Member shall give written notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) to the Remaining Members at least 30 days prior to the proposed effective date of such proposed Tag-Along Sale. The Tag-Along Notice shall include (x) the amount of the Selling Member’s Membership Interest proposed to be Transferred; (y) the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the Offered Interest by the total Membership Interest owned by the Selling Member (the “Tag-Along Sale Percentage”); and (z) the proposed effective date of the proposed Tag-Along Sale.

(b) The Remaining Members shall have the right, exercisable upon delivery of an irrevocable written notice (“Notice of Election”) to the Selling Member within 10 days after receipt of the Tag-Along Notice (the “Response Deadline”), to participate in such Tag-Along Sale on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Offer and Tag-Along Notice, including, without limitation, the making of all representations and warranties, the granting of all indemnifications and similar arrangements (including any purchase price adjustments) agreed to by the Selling Member (each Remaining Member electing to participate in the Transfer described in the Tag-Along Notice, a “Participant”). Such Tag-Along Notice shall specify the amount of such Participant’s Membership Interest (not in any event to exceed the Tag-Along Sale Percentage with respect to such Participant) which such Participant desires to have included in the proposed Tag-Along Sale.

(c) In the event that the proposed purchaser in the Tag-Along Sale is unwilling to purchase the entire Membership Interest requested to be included in the Tag-Along Sale by the Selling Member and the Participants, then the Membership Interest to be sold to such proposed purchaser shall be allocated among the Selling Member and the Participants in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective Percentage Interests which each such selling Member requested to be included in the proposed Tag-Along Sale.

(d) The closing of a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall take place at the same time and place set forth in the Tag-Along Notice or, if not so specified, such time and place as the Selling Member shall specify by notice to each Participant. At the closing of such Tag-Along Sale, each Participant participating in such Tag-Along Sale shall deliver to the Selling Member an assignment of Membership Interest duly endorsed for Transfer, free and clear of any Liens, claims or Encumbrances on the Membership Interest, against delivery of the applicable consideration therefor. If the Selling Member has not completed the proposed Tag-Along Sale as of the end of the 180^th day following the date of the Tag-Along Notice, each Participant with respect to such Tag-Along Sale shall be released from any obligation to Transfer its Membership Interest under such Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along Notice shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for this Section 8.4 to be complied with in order to consummate such Tag-Along Sale pursuant to this Section 8.4.

Section 8.5 Transfer Requirements. If a Transfer is consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in this Article 8, such Transfer shall not entitle the transferee to become a Member or to be entitled to exercise or receive any of the rights, powers or benefits of a Member other than the right to receive distributions to which the Transferring Member would be entitled with respect to the Transferred Membership Interest, unless and until such transferee (a) executes a counterpart signature page to this Agreement or other instrument, reasonably satisfactory to the Manager, accepting and agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (b) pays to the Company a fee sufficient to cover all reasonable expenses of the Company in connection with such transferee’s admission as a Member. If a Member transfers all of its Membership Interest and the transferee of such Membership Interest is entitled to become a Member pursuant to this Article 8, then (i) immediately following such admission, the Transferring Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company; and (ii) the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the Transferring Member. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer shall be permitted if such Transfer would result in a violation of any Applicable Laws or regulations, or any loan documents and/or other agreements to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is otherwise bound.

Section 8.6 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, any Member which is a natural person may transfer all or a portion of his or her Membership Interests to a Permitted Transferee.

Section 8.7 Recognition of Transfer by the Company. No Transfer that is in violation of this Article 8 shall be valid or effective, and neither the Company nor the Members shall recognize such Transfer in making distributions pursuant hereto with respect to such Membership Interest. Neither the Company nor the non-Transferring Members shall incur any liability as a result of refusing to make any such distributions to the transferee of any such invalid transfer.

Section 8.8 Compliance with Securities Laws. The Members acknowledge and confirm that their Units may constitute securities for purposes of state and federal securities laws and that, as a consequence, the Units may only be sold pursuant to appropriate registration or exemption from registration. The Units have not been registered under any federal or state securities laws, and the Company has no plan to register the Units. No Transfer or assignment of all or any part of a Member’s Unit(s), including, without limitation, any Transfer of a right to distributions, Profits or Losses to a Person who does not become a Member, shall be effective, unless such Transfer or assignment (a) may be effected without registration of the Units under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (b) does not violate any applicable federal or state securities laws (including any investment suitability standards) applicable to the Company, the Manager or the Members. In no event may any Member sell all or any portion of his or its Units in violation of the provisions of applicable securities laws.

Section 8.9 Other Prohibited Transfers. No Member shall sell or otherwise Transfer its Units in the Company, if such Transfer would (a) require the Company to file a Registration Statement with the Securities Exchange Commission or state agencies or otherwise violate securities law; (b) cause a termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes; (c) cause any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be a “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time (“ERISA”) or the Code; (d) cause any Member to become a “fiduciary” within the meaning of ERISA or the Code; (e) cause the Company to be in breach of or default under any mortgage, deed of trust or other security agreement encumbering any of the Assets or properties of the Company or its Subsidiaries; (f) cause the Company to be classified as other than a “partnership” for federal income tax purposes; or (g) adversely affect the ability of the Company to comply with the requirements of Section 514(a)(9) of the Code. Prior to effecting any Transfer of a Unit, other than pursuant to other sections of this Agreement, the Transferor shall provide reasonable assurances to the Manager that the proposed Transfer would be permitted under this Section 8.9 and that the Transferring Member shall pay any Transfer taxes resulting from the Transfer.

Section 8.10 Indemnification. If a Transfer or attempted Transfer is made in violation of this Article 8, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Manager and the other Members from all costs, liabilities and damages that any of such indemnified Persons may incur (including, without limitation incremental tax liability and attorney’s fees and expenses) as a result of such invalid Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.

Section 8.11 Section 754 Election. In the event of a Transfer of all or part of the Membership Interest of a Member, at the request of the transferee or if in the best interests of the Company (as determined by the Manager), the Company shall elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of Company property as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code, and any cost of such election or cost of administering or accounting for such election shall be at the sole cost and expense of the requesting transferee.

Section 8.12 Classification as a Partnership; Consistency for Income Tax Reporting. For so long as the Company has more than one Member, the Company shall be taxable as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, as permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.301.7701-3(b)(1)(i). During such time as the Company would be classified as a partnership under the foregoing sentence, no Member shall take any action that would result in the Company being taxed as other than a “partnership” for federal income tax purposes, including, but not limited to, electing to be taxed as other than a “partnership” by filing Form 8832, “Entity Classification Election”. All of the Members shall file their separate federal, state and local income tax returns strictly in accordance with the information provided to them by the Company on their separate Form K-1, unless: (1) the Member notifies the Company that it intends to file an IRS Form 8082, Notice of Inconsistent Treatment or Administrative Adjustment Request, with respect to any partnership items (within the meaning of Code Sec.6231(a)(3)) of the Company at least 30 days prior to the date that it files the Form 8082; and (2) the Member has obtained the opinion of its tax counsel or tax accountant that the proposed inconsistent treatment is more likely than not the correct treatment of the item(s) and has provided a copy of such opinion to the Company at the time that it gives the notice required under clause (1).

ARTICLE 9
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

Section 9.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved upon the determination of the Board to dissolve and wind up the Company, subject to this Article 9. The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, withdrawal, abandonment, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member or occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued interest of a Member in the Company, and as otherwise set forth in Section 3.25 herein (each a “Withdrawal Event”) shall not result in dissolution of the Company, and the business of the Company shall continue without interruption despite the occurrence of any such Withdrawal Event. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining Member of the Company to cease to be a Member of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such last remaining Member (for purposes of this Article 9, wherever Manager if referenced for wind-up purposes but not Manager exists, the reference shall be to the personal representative of the last remaining Member) is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such Member in the Company, agree in writing (a) to continue the Company; and (b) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute Member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the last remaining Member of the Company in the Company.

Section 9.2 Winding-Up, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets. Upon dissolution of the Company, an accounting shall be made by the Company’s independent accountants of the accounts of the Company and of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations, from the date of the immediately preceding accounting until the date of dissolution. The Day-to-Day Manager or the Board shall immediately proceed to wind up the affairs of the Company. If the Company is dissolved and its affairs are to be wound up, the Day-to-Day Manager shall:

(a) sell or otherwise liquidate all of the Company’s assets as promptly as practicable;

(b) allocate any profit or loss resulting from such sales to the Member’s Capital Accounts;

(c) discharge all liabilities of the Company, including liabilities to the Manager or Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, other than liabilities to Members for distributions, and establish such reserves as may be reasonably necessary to provide for contingent liabilities of the Company (for purposes of determining the Capital Accounts of Members, the amounts of such reserves shall be deemed to be an expense of the Company);

(d) distribute the remaining assets as follows:

(i) to the Members in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof; and

(ii) if any assets of the Company are to be distributed in kind, such assets shall be distributed as determined by the Manager. Such assets shall be deemed to have been sold as of the date of dissolution for their fair market value, and the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to reflect such deemed sale.

(e) upon completion of the winding-up, liquidation and distribution of the assets, the Company shall be deemed terminated; and

(f) the Manager shall comply with any applicable requirements of Applicable Law pertaining to the winding-up of the affairs of the Company and the final distribution of its assets.

Section 9.3 Articles of Dissolution. When all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining property and assets of the Company have been distributed, articles of dissolution as required by the Act shall be executed and filed by the Manager with the Delaware Secretary of State.

Section 9.4 Effect of Filing of Articles of Dissolution. Upon the filing of articles of dissolution with the Delaware 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 Manager shall have authority to distribute any property and assets owned by the Company discovered after dissolution, to convey real estate and to take such other action as may be necessary on behalf of and in the name of the Company.

Section 9.5 Return of Contribution Nonrecourse to Other Members. Except as provided by Law or as expressly provided in this Agreement, upon dissolution, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution. If the Company property remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return the Capital Contribution of one or more Members, such Member or Members shall have no recourse against any other Member.

Section 9.6 Termination of Agreement. Upon the consummation of (a) the dissolution of the Company in accordance with this Article 9; (b) a merger or consolidation of the Company; or (c) a Conversion in accordance with Section 9.8 and consummation of an initial Public Offering in connection therewith (each a “Termination Event”), except as provided in the next sentence, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate immediately and be of no further effect. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the representations and warranties of the parties hereto, the indemnifications set out in this Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the applicable parties under Sections 3.7, 3.16, 3.17, 3.18, 3.19, 3.25, 3.26, 3.27, 6.8, 6.10, 6.11, 6.12, 6.13, 7.5, 7.10, 7.11, 8.10, 9.2, 9.6, 9.7 and Articles 10, 11, 12 and 13 shall survive any Termination Event.

Section 9.7 Liability for Return of Capital Contributions. Each Member, by its execution of this Agreement, agrees that liability for the return of its Capital Contribution is limited to the Company’s assets and, in the event of an insufficiency of such assets to return the amount of its Capital Contribution, hereby waives any and all claims whatsoever, including any claim for additional contributions that it might otherwise have, against any of the Company’s agents or representatives (in each case, unless there has been fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct) by reason thereof. Each Member shall look solely to the Company and its assets for all distributions with respect to the Company and his, her or its Capital Contribution thereto, and shall have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution or otherwise) against any of the Company’s agents or representatives (in each case, unless there has been fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct).

Section 9.8 Conversion to Corporation or Other Entity. At any time, in connection with an initial Public Offering, the Board shall have the power and authority to, and shall, effect (a) the conversion of the Company’s business form from a limited liability company to a corporation, a real estate investment trust or other entity (a “Public Vehicle”); (b) the merger of the Company with or into a new or previously-established but dormant Public Vehicle; or (c) the contribution of the assets and liabilities of the Company to a Public Vehicle, followed by a liquidation of the Company and a distribution of the Public Vehicle’s equity securities to the Members (such a conversion, merger or liquidation is referred to as a “Conversion”). Upon the consummation of a Conversion, the Units held by each Member shall be converted into or exchanged for a number of shares or other units of the Public Vehicle’s common stock or other equity interests determined by (i) calculating the fair market value of the Company based upon the actual offering price of the Public Vehicle’s common stock or other equity interests and the number of Units of common stock or other equity interests to be outstanding after such offering; and (ii) by determining the amount each Member would receive if (A) all of the Company’s assets were sold for such fair market value; and (B) the proceeds were distributed in accordance with Section 5.2. The Board’s determination of the number of Units of the Public Vehicle’s common stock or other equity interests that each Member receives upon a Conversion shall be final and binding on the Members absent manifest arithmetic error. The Board shall use commercially reasonable efforts to undertake any Conversion in such manner as would provide for no gain or loss to the Members solely as a result of the Conversion.

Section 9.9 Guaranty Contribution.

(a) In the event that in connection with the business of the Company or any Subsidiary the Company or any Subsidiary shall borrow funds or enter into any transactions as provided in the Approved Business Plan (including, without limitation, a lease, contract or other instrument) FCRE OP or its owner FCRE shall provide any required guaranty obligations of the Company and/or the Subsidiaries (the “Loan Guaranties”). The Manager shall provide any required “bad boy guaranty” required in such loan transaction (“Manager Guaranty” and collectively with Loan Guaranties, “Guaranties”). In order to induce the Guarantor(s) to execute and deliver any such Loan Guarantees or Manager Guaranty, the Company, and each of the Members who are not Guarantors, hereby unconditionally agree to indemnify and hold the Guarantor(s) harmless from any claim, expense, liability or loss, including reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with each of the Guarantors’ Guaranties (collectively, a “Claim”) asserted against any such Guarantor(s) in connection with any such Guaranties.

(b) In the event of any Claim, the Company, and each Member who is not a Guarantor do hereby unconditionally agree to immediately, upon demand of any Guarantor, to pay such Claim pro-rata in accordance with such Person’s Affiliated Members’ Percentage Interests (i) if not yet paid by the Guarantor making said demand, to the person to whom same would otherwise be paid, or is payable to, by Guarantor at the same time as Guarantor’s payment; or (ii) if said claim, or any portion thereof, had already been paid by the Guarantor(s) or collected from said Guarantor(s), to reimburse the Guarantor(s) proportionately for the amount of said Claim already paid or collected. In the event any Member or Manager (including a Guarantor) has paid any Claim, or any portion thereof (whether as the Guarantor or as provided in this Section 9.9), then, immediately upon demand by such person, the Company hereby agrees to reimburse such person for the amount of any such payment.

(c) In the event that any Member shall have paid (as Guarantor or as provided in this Section 9.9) any Claim or have any Claim collected from such person, then until reimbursed by the Company or the Members as provided in this Section 9.9, such Claim shall accrue interest at the lower of (i) 24% per annum; or (ii) the maximum legal interest rate, until paid in full on the outstanding unpaid balance thereof, and the amount which the Company or the other Members shall be deemed to have indemnified pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall be deemed to include said accrued interest.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Guarantor shall make a demand upon any other Member under this Section 9.9 (each such Member, an “Indemnifying Member”), then until said Claim and all interest accruing thereon has been paid in full as above set forth: (i) all distributions which would otherwise be distributed to the Indemnifying Members shall be paid to the Guarantor(s) making said demand(s) directly in satisfaction of the Indemnifying Members’ obligations under this Section 9.9, provided however, that such distributions shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made by the Company to the Indemnifying Members for tax purposes and for purposes of accounting and shall be reflected on the Indemnifying Members’ Capital Accounts as if such Distributions were made to such Indemnifying Members; and (ii) until such time as the Indemnifying Members shall have paid such Claims and all accrued and unpaid interest on such Claims in full, the Indemnifying Member (and the Manager appointed by such Indemnifying Member to the Board if the Company is then managed by a Board of Managers) shall have no rights to vote on any matter which such Indemnifying Member (and/or the Manager appointed by such Indemnifying Member to the Board if the Company is then managed by a Board of Managers) shall otherwise have the right to vote under the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, as security for the performance by an Indemnifying Member of its obligations under this Section 9.9, each Member hereby pledges to the Guarantor(s) and grants to the Guarantor(s) a lien on, and continuing security interest in and to, the Indemnifying Member’s Units and all proceeds thereof. In the event that the Guarantor(s) or any of them shall make a demand upon an Indemnifying Member under this Section 9.9, and if such Claim and all interest accruing thereon has not been paid in full within six months of the date of said demand, then the Guarantor(s) or either of them shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to cause the Company, without any further notice to the Indemnifying Member, to Transfer the Units then held by the Indemnifying Member in the Company to the Guarantor(s) pro-rata in proportion of the amount due to each Guarantor from each Indemnifying Member in full satisfaction of the Indemnifying Members’ obligations under this Section 9.9, and thereafter hold the same absolutely free and clear from any right or claim whatsoever of any kind by the Indemnifying Members, each of whom hereby waive any rights of redemption, and any claims against the Company, the Manager(s) and the Guarantor(s) as a result of the Transfer as herein provided, and the Indemnifying Members further agree that any such Transfer made pursuant to the foregoing terms shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

(f) Each Indemnifying Member hereby agrees that it will execute one or more financing statements and security agreements and other certificates, assignments, instruments or documents, if any, now or hereafter required to protect or give notice of the security interest granted hereby pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code or other Applicable Law, in form and substance satisfactory to Guarantor(s). Each Indemnifying Member hereby appoints each Guarantor or any of their representatives as the Indemnifying Member’s attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to sign or endorse each such financing statement or other certificates, assignments, instruments, or documents in such Indemnifying Members’ name and stead and authorizes such Guarantors to file such financing statements, certificates, assignments, instruments or other documents in all places where necessary to perfect or give notice of the Indemnifying Member’s pledge or Transfer of its Units as herein provided.

ARTICLE 10
DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 10.1 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Members or the Manager, the parties to such controversy or claim shall first use their reasonable best efforts in good faith to resolve such dispute among themselves by sending written notice to each other Member and Day-to-Day Manager (or any of them) setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such dispute, the resolution requested, and the damages which would result if a resolution were not affected (the “Dispute Notice”). Each party and the Manager receiving a Dispute Notice shall meet at the principal office of the Company within 10 days of the date of such Dispute Notice at a date and time selected by the Manager and noticed to each Member and Manager (which notice may be by email) (or at such other date and time mutually agreeable to each Member and the Manager participating in such meeting) (the “Dispute Resolution Meeting”). The Parties shall confer at the Dispute Resolution Meeting, and will use good faith efforts within the 20 days after the Dispute Resolution Meeting to resolve the dispute (the “Dispute Resolution Period”). If the dispute cannot be resolved within the Dispute Resolution Period, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, the rights and obligations of the Company, the Members or the Manager, the parties to such controversy or claim shall be brought, as determined by the Board’s unanimous determination in the Board’s sole discretion, either in arbitration or in a court by litigation as hereafter set forth. In the event that the Board shall be unable, by unanimous vote to make such a determination the Board shall be deemed to have elected litigation in a court and not arbitration as the dispute resolution forum. The Day-to-Day Manager shall use reasonable efforts to determine and advise the parties as to whether the dispute addressed in the Dispute Notice, if not resolved during the Dispute Resolution Period, shall be brought by arbitration or litigation as hereinafter provided. In the event that a party has complied with the foregoing dispute resolution procedure, and no resolution has been effected during the Dispute Resolution Period, and such party desires to initiate an action, and if the Board has not then determined whether such dispute shall be resolved in litigation or arbitration, then the party desiring to initiate an action shall notice the Board of its desire and request a determination as to whether the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or arbitration (the “Determination Request Notice”). In the event the Board shall fail, within five Business Days after receipt of the Determination Request Notice to respond with a determination, then the Board shall be deemed to have elected litigation and not arbitration as the dispute resolution forum.

Section 10.2 Dispute Resolution Forum. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, which has not been resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Section 10.1 hereof, may be resolved by arbitration or litigation as above set forth, and the complaining Member, or the Day-to-Day Manager, or any of them, may initiate an action in an arbitration or a litigation as determined by the FCRE Member as the Manager, or if the FCRE Member as the Manager has failed to make such determination within the five Business Days after receipt by the Board of a Determination Request Notice, by litigation and not arbitration. If the dispute is to be resolved by litigation it may be initiated and brought by the complaining party only in the Superior Court in and for the County of Sacramento, or the courts of the United States of America for the Eastern District of California, and appellate courts thereof. If the dispute is to be arbitrated it shall be by initiated and brought by the complaining party only in an arbitration administered by JAMS Endispute (“JAMS”) before a three arbitrator panel selected from a list of then available JAMS arbitrators, each of who must be are either retired federal or state court judges with 20 years or more commercial litigation experience assigned pursuant to JAMS procedures, and shall be brought and heard in Sacramento, California, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. There shall be no ex parte communications with JAMS or any of the Arbitrators.

Section 10.3 Effect of failure to follow the Dispute Resolution Procedure. In the event a party shall have failed to follow the dispute resolution procedure set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 hereof, or, having complied with the dispute resolution procedure, has thereafter brought an action in a forum different then as determined by the Manager (unless the Manager has failed to make such determination within the five Business Days after receipt by the Manager of a Determination Notice), then upon a motion brought by the Manager or any other party to such dispute, the action initiated by the non-complying Member, or Manager, shall be dismissed with prejudice, and the court or arbitrators shall enter an order dismissing such action with prejudice, and each Member and Manager hereby specifically consents to same, and waives all right to challenge same or appeal therefrom.

Section 10.4 Arbitration. If an action has been properly initiated by any Manager or a Member in arbitration in accordance with the provisions if this Article 10, then (i) the parties shall be afforded the discovery rights as established under the applicable JAMS rules or as provided for by the arbitrators; (ii) the award rendered in any arbitration commenced hereunder shall constitute an award under the Federal Arbitration Act, Title 10 US Code shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitral tribunal may order any remedy permitted by law and this Agreement, including damages, injunctions and specific performance of this Agreement or any portion thereof. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The place of arbitration shall be Sacramento, California, United States. By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and/or the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as may be available under the jurisdiction of a national court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

Section 10.5 Service of Process. With respect to any action, suit, claim in arbitration, or other proceeding for which it has submitted to jurisdiction pursuant to this Article 10, each party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for the giving of notices pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.6 shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 10.6 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto agrees that damages at law are an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that, in the event of any breach by a party, the Company, the Manager and the other parties hereto are and shall be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, entitled to obtain a decree or decrees of specific performance entitling it or them to seek a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, or permanent injunction to specifically enforce and require specific performance by such breaching party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 10.6 shall be deemed a waiver of any claim or defense of any party hereto to an action brought by any other party under this Section 10.6, except as specifically set forth herein with respect to entitlement to specific performance.

ARTICLE 11
BREACH OF AGREEMENT

Section 11.1 Breach of this Agreement. It is recognized that damages in the event of breach by a party of any representation, warranty or covenant made in this Agreement will be difficult if not impossible to ascertain. It is therefore agreed that, in addition to, and without limiting any other remedy or right that a nonbreaching party might have against a breaching party, each party shall also have the right to:

(a) Injunction. An injunction against a breaching party issued by a court or arbitrator or arbitration panel of competent jurisdiction enjoining such breach, and each breaching party hereby consents to the issuance of any TRO, preliminary or permanent injunction enjoining the breaching conduct.

(b) Specific Enforcement. The right to have such covenants specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any breach of any of such covenants will cause irreparable injury to the nonbreaching party to whom such covenant was made and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the covenants are reasonable and valid in all respects.

(c) Other Remedies. Nothing contained in subsections 11.1(a) and 11.1(b) shall be construed as exclusive or as prohibiting a party from pursuing any other remedies available for such breach at law or in equity.

ARTICLE 12

Subject to the provisions of Article 12 hereof, each Member hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (A) submits itself and its property, solely for the purposes of any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Superior Court in and for the County of Sacramento, California, the courts of the United States of America for the Eastern District of California, and appellate courts thereof (collectively, the “Courts”); (B) consents to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in the Courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue or any such action or proceeding in any such court, including, without limitation, any objection that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court, and agrees not to plead or otherwise assert the same; (C) agrees to service upon it or him of any and all process in any such action or proceeding at the address set forth in Section 12.1 hereof; (D) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and (E) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Subject to the provisions of this Section 12.7, each Member agrees that neither it, nor any of its Principals nor any of their respective Affiliates will not disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than a Person providing consulting services to such Member and the Manager who agrees to maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence, or a judge, magistrate or referee in any action, suit or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise) and to keep confidential all documents (including, without limitation, responses to discovery requests) containing any Confidential Information.

The cost (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) of obtaining a protective order covering Confidential Information designated by such other Member and the Manager will be borne by the Company.

Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing or anything else contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each Member and the Manager (and any employee, representative or other agent thereof) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the offering and ownership of Membership Interests and any transaction described in this Section 12.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions and other tax analyses) that are provided to such Member relating to such tax treatment and tax structure.

(b) recruit, solicit or otherwise induce or influence any employee, consultant or advisor of or to the Group or any member of the Group, to discontinue such person’s relationship with the Group or any member of the Group or with any asset owned or operated by the Group or any member of the Group or hire any such employee, consultant or advisor,

(g) be Affiliated in any way with any company or person, which does any of the things which are prohibited under Sub-Sections A, B, C, D and/or E above.

If any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the covenants set forth in this Section 12.8, or any part thereof, is unenforceable because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, such court shall have the power to modify any such unenforceable provision in lieu of severing such unenforceable provision from this Agreement in its entirety, whether by rewriting the offending provision, deleting any or all of the offending provision, adding additional language to this Section 12.8 or by making such other modifications as it deems warranted to carry out the intent and agreement of the parties as embodied herein to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law. The parties hereto expressly agree that this Agreement as so modified by the court shall be binding upon and enforceable against each of them.

The covenants contained in this Section 12.8 shall survive any Transfer of a Membership Interest and the dissolution of the Company.

Section 12.9 Amendments. The provisions of this Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company and all other parties hereto under this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), or amended, or amended and restated, and, the Certificate may be amended (whether by merger or otherwise), or amended and restated, by the Managers, from time to time, but only if such waiver, amendment, or amendment and restatement does not materially and adversely change the specifically enumerated rights hereunder of one or more Members. If any amendment, amendment and restatement, or waiver would materially and adversely change the specifically enumerated rights hereunder of one or more Members (“Affected Members”) in a way that is materially different from the change such amendment, amendment and restatement, or waiver would have on such specifically enumerated rights of other Members, such amendment, amendment and restatement, or waiver shall not be effective as to any Affected Member, unless consented to by all of the Affected Members. Each Member shall be bound by any amendment, amendment and restatement or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 12.9, whether or not such Member has consented to such amendment, amendment and restatement or waiver. Upon effectuation of each such waiver, amendment, or amendment and restatement, the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Members who have not previously consented thereto in writing.

This Agreement, together with the agreements and instruments delivered pursuant hereto, contains the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings related to the subject matter hereof.

Failure by any party to enforce against any other party any term or provision of this Agreement shall not waive such party’s right to enforce against any other party the same or any other term or provision. No waiver by any party hereto of any condition hereunder for its benefit shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any other rights.

No Member or Manager shall have any duties, fiduciary or otherwise, to the Company or any other Manager, Member or their Principals or each of their respective Affiliates, in each case, other than the duty to act in good faith in complying with contractual obligations applicable to such Member, Manager or Principals hereunder. Each Member, on behalf of itself and its Principals and Affiliates, hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any and all rights and claims which it, he or she may otherwise have against any other Member or Manager and such other Member’s or Manager’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents, employees, and Affiliates as a result of any claims of breach of fiduciary duties; provided that the foregoing shall not limit a Member’s rights and claims with respect to a breach of this Agreement. Except with respect to the Manager acting solely in its capacity as Manager, no Member or Managers shall be liable to the Company or any other Member or their Principals or their respective Affiliates for any act or omission taken or suffered by such Member or Managers in connection with the business or operations of the Company or arising out of this Agreement, unless such act or omission has been adjudicated by a court or arbitral panel of competent jurisdiction, in a final, non-appealable judgment or decision, to have constituted a breach of this Agreement on the part of such Member or Manager. The Company and each Member agree that the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent such provisions eliminate, restrict or limit the duties (including, without limitation, fiduciary duties) or liabilities of Members or Manager that may otherwise exist at law or in equity, shall replace such duties and liabilities of the Members and Manager.

Without limitation of the foregoing, the Manager and each Member may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of any other Member, such other Manager’s and Member’s Affiliates, the Company or any Subsidiary, and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any other holder of Units (or such holder’s Principals or Affiliates) shall have rights or expectancy by virtue of such Member’s relationships with the other Members, their respective Affiliates, the Manager, the Company or any Subsidiary, this Agreement or otherwise in and to such independent venture or the income or profits derived therefrom; and the pursuit of any such venture, and same shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

(c) In the event that any Member shall have paid (as Guarantor or as provided in this Section 12.32) any Claim or have any Claim collected from such person, then until reimbursed by the Company or the Members as provided in this Section 12.34, such Claim shall accrue interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum until paid in full on the outstanding unpaid balance thereof, and the amount which the Company or the other Members shall be deemed to have indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.32 shall be deemed to include said accrued interest.

Section 12.31 Use of Name “Township Nine”. The name “Township Nine” and all goodwill associated therewith are property of the Company, and no Member or Affiliate of the Company shall have the right to use the name “Township Nine” or “T-9” as a component of the name of any business venture or otherwise without the prior written approval of the Manager.
