  In the event the Company allows the termination of or is forced to terminate an Acquisition Contract approved by the Executive Committee (as to acquisition terms, project underwriting and economic and legal diligence results) and such termination is due solely to a Non-Contributing Member's failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution (and there exists no other purchaser default, lender default or seller default thereunder and the other Member made its corresponding Additional Capital Contribution for same) and the Company incurs a loss of earnest money or other expense in connection with the termination of such Acquisition Contract, the Non-Contributing Member shall be liable to the Company and the Company may seek indemnification for such loss of earnest money or other expense and all related costs and expenses of the Company including, without limitation, reasonable expenses of the Company incurred in connection with due diligence and other reasonable costs related to determining the suitability of the property which is the subject of the Acquisition Contract, all reasonable costs incurred in connection with the negotiation of any letter of intent, term sheet and/or purchase agreement and related documents, financing fees (e.g., application fees, commitment fees, and costs in connection with any financing), and the costs of litigation, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with any such terminated Acquisition Contract.  The Non-Contributing Member shall be liable for and shall indemnify the Company and the Contributing Member for any and all other reasonable actual, out-of-pocket loss, cost, liability or expense, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred by the Company or the Contributing Member as a result of the Non-Contributing Member’s failure to make such an Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to the circumstances described in the first sentence of this Section 3.6.3.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, such indemnity and reimbursement obligations shall not be in effect if the Member or any Affiliate of the Member who contributed its Additional Capital Contribution in connection with the foregoing consummates the transactions contemplated under such Acquisition Contract within 12 months after such termination for its own account, for the account of any Affiliate of such Member or as a partner or member in any other venture or entity.
 
3.6.4. Separate Acquisition.»
 
 
  Rather than terminate such an approved Acquisition Contract due solely to a Non-Contributing Member's failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution under the circumstances described in Section 3.6.3, the Contributing Member may require the Company to assign the Acquisition Contract, including all the benefits and obligations thereunder and in connection therewith, to the Contributing Member or its designee for the purposes of closing the Acquisition Contract for its or its designee's own account.  If such assignment is made, the Contributing Member and/or its designee shall reimburse the Company for any costs incurred by the Company or funds, such as earnest money, deposited by the Company pursuant to the terms of or in connection with such Acquisition Contract, less any damages incurred by the Contributing Member which were directly caused by the failure of the Non-Contributing Member to so contribute, such as contractual penalties or termination fees arising out of such failure.
 
3.6.5. Return Additional Capital Contribution.»
 
 
  The Contributing Member may request a return of any Additional Capital Contribution it has made to the Company in connection with a Non-Contributing Member's failure to make the required Additional Capital Contribution.
 
3.6.6. Default Loan.»
 
 
  Make a Default Loan equal to the amount of the additional capital requested of the Non-Contributing Member, which advance will be deemed to be a Capital Contribution by the Non-Contributing Member and will be considered a loan (a "Default Loan") from the Member making the advance (the "Lending Member") to the Non-Contributing Member, payable within 30 days after demand and bearing interest at the lesser of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law or the rate of 18% per annum.  If the Lending Member makes a Default Loan, upon written request by the Lending Member, the Non-Contributing Member will execute and deliver a promissory note payable to the Lending Member as evidence of that Default Loan; provided that the failure by the Non-Contributing Member to execute such a promissory note will not affect the validity of the Default Loan in question or the obligation of the Non-Contributing Member to repay the Default Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If the Non-Contributing Member fails upon demand to repay with interest any Default Loan made by the Lending Member, the Lending Member will be granted a security interest in the Non-Contributing Member's interest in the Company to secure the Non-Contributing Member's obligation to repay upon demand any Default Loan made to the Non-Contributing Member by the Lending Member.  If a Lending Member has made a Default Loan, all amounts distributable to the Non-Contributing Member by virtue of its Interest or payable to the Non-Contributing Member under this Agreement will be paid by the Company or other Person on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member to the Lending Member in respect of accrued interest on and unpaid principal of any outstanding Default Loans made by the Lending Member (such payments to be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest on and then to outstanding principal of such Default Loans).  At such time as the Non-Contributing Member's obligations to the Lending Member under any Default Loan hereby secured are paid in full, distributions to the Non-Contributing Member will resume as set forth in this Agreement.  Any amounts paid on behalf of a Non-Contributing Member will be deemed to have first been distributed or paid to the Non-Contributing Member and then paid to the Lending Member.  Each Default Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty.
 

 
3.6.7. Prohibition.»
 
 
  In the event the Company shall terminate an Acquisition Contract approved by the Executive Committee (as to acquisition terms, project underwriting and economic and legal diligence results) and such termination is due solely to the Non-Contributing Member's failure to make the required Additional Capital Contribution (and there exists no other purchaser default, lender default or seller default thereunder and the other Member made its corresponding Additional Capital Contribution for same), then the Non-Contributing Member and its Affiliates shall not be entitled and shall not acquire, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of the property that was the subject of such terminated Acquisition Contract for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the later of (i) termination of the Acquisition Contract or (ii) satisfying all indemnification Obligations under Section 3.6.3 above.
