acquisition cost of the Approved Investment acquired by such Venture,
payable quarterly in arrears at the end of each fiscal quarter.
2.2 Aggregate Commitment of Xxxxxxx and PREI Investors. Except as
otherwise agreed by Creamer and PREI, the aggregate Capital Commitment of
Xxxxxxx and any Financing Sources to all Ventures shall not exceed
$15,000,000, and the aggregate Capital Commitment of the PREI Investors to
all Ventures shall not exceed $135,000,000 and the individual Capital
Commitment of any one PREI Investor shall not exceed the amount set forth

time and from time to time during the Commitment Period, PREI may, in its
sole and absolute discretion and on behalf of the PREI Investors, increase
their aggregate Capital Commitments by an amount up to an additional
$75,000,000, for aggregate PREI Investor Capital Commitments of

the date hereof to the date of the Increase Notice, (b) Xxxxxxx may, in its
sole and absolute discretion and at any time within 30 days following such
Increase Notice, increase the Xxxxxxx Capital Commitment by an amount up to

determination thereof, and (c) the Carry allocable to Xxxxxxx and any
Financing Source with respect to all Ventures funded from and after the
30th day following the date of the Increase Notice will be proportionately
reduced by a percentage which equals the percentage decline, if any, in the
ratio of the aggregate Xxxxxxx and any Financing Source Capital Commitment
to total Capital Commitments of all parties prior to the Increase Notice as
compared to the ratio of the aggregate Xxxxxxx and any Financing Source
Capital Commitment to total Capital Commitments of all parties after the
Increase Notice and Xxxxxxx Response Notice, if any, and such reduction in
the Carry will be reallocated to the PREI Investors participating in such
Ventures. No PREI Investor shall be liable for the Capital Commitments of
any other PREI Investor, and PREI will not be obligated or liable for the
Capital Commitments of any of them. Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement, each of Xxxxxxx, any Financing Source and the PREI
Investors shall fund their Capital Commitment with respect to each Venture

(a) PREI shall promptly review the documents referred to in
Section 2.4 with respect to an Eligible Investment (collectively, the
"Investment Documentation"). After review of such Investment

receipt thereof, PREI shall notify Xxxxxxx in writing that (i) it has
elected to proceed with Xxxxxxx to form a Venture with respect to such
Eligible Investment based on the facts, circumstances, terms and
conditions set forth in the Investment Documentation and the form of
Venture Agreement attached hereto, (ii) it has amendments or
objections to the Investment Documentation, and will negotiate with
Xxxxxxx to implement such amendments and/or resolve such objections
and form a Venture with respect to such Eligible Investment based on
the facts, circumstances, terms and conditions set forth in the
amended Investment Documentation, or (iii) it does not wish to form a
Venture with respect to the Eligible Investment. PREI may determine,
in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason at

(b) If PREI has notified Xxxxxxx that it has amendments to the

resolve such objections within thirty days of such notification from
PREI, and if they are able to accomplish the foregoing within such
thirty days, they shall negotiate to promptly form such Venture.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither PREI
nor Xxxxxxx shall have any obligation to form a Venture unless and
until definitive documentation, including a Venture Agreement, setting
forth their complete and final understanding with respect to the
formation of the Venture, and the acquisition of the Eligible
Investment by the Venture, shall have been executed and delivered by
the PREI Investor and Xxxxxxx.
(c) Under no circumstances shall Xxxxxxx, PIC, PREI or any PREI

2.6 Follow-on Investments. In furtherance of this Agreement,
Xxxxxxx, if it desires PREI to consider an Eligible Investment that
increases the amount of or is substantially related to an Owned Investment
(a "Follow-on Investment"), then Xxxxxxx shall submit to PREI the
Investment Documentation described in Section 2.4 as to such Follow-on
Investment. After review of such Investment Documentation, but in no event

Xxxxxxx in writing that (i) it has elected to proceed with Xxxxxxx with
respect to such Follow-on Investment based on the facts, circumstances,

amendments or objections to the Investment Documentation, and will
negotiate with Xxxxxxx to implement such amendments and/or resolve such
objections and proceed with such Follow-on Investment based on the facts,
circumstances, terms and conditions set forth in the amended Investment
Documentation, or (iii) it does not wish to proceed with the Follow-on
Investment. PREI may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, for
any reason or no reason at all, to pursue any of the alternatives set forth
above. If PREI elects the alternative described in clause (i) above, then
PREI and Xxxxxxx shall amend the Venture Agreement with respect to the
Owned Investment related to such Follow-on Investment to allow for such
Follow-on Investment. If PREI elects the alternative described in clause
(ii) above, then PREI shall proceed to negotiate to implement such
amendments and/or resolve such objections within thirty days of
notification from PREI, and if they are able to accomplish the foregoing
within such thirty days, they shall negotiate to promptly amend the Venture
Agreement with respect to the Owned Investment related to such Follow-on
Investment to allow for such Follow-on Investment. If PREI elects the
alternative described in clause (iii) above, then Xxxxxxx may exercise its
rights pursuant to Section 4.1 as to the particular Venture that owns the
Owned Investment related to the Follow-on Investment.
2.7 Proposal for Sale or Disposition of Owned Investment. In
furtherance of this Agreement, Xxxxxxx, if it desires PREI to consider the

writing that (i) it has elected to proceed with the sale or disposition of
the Owned Investment based on the facts, circumstances, terms and
conditions set forth in the Sale Documentation, or (ii) it does not wish to
proceed with the sale or disposition of the Approved Investment. PREI may
determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no reason
at all, to pursue any of the alternatives set forth above. If PREI
notifies Xxxxxxx that it does not wish to proceed with the sale or
disposition of the Owned Investment, Xxxxxxx may, within forty-five days of

and the PREI Investors participating in such Venture, by notifying ("Sale
Notice") Xxxxxxx thereof, in which case, Xxxxxxx will use it best efforts
to realize the highest available cash purchase price therefor in accordance

prohibited transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA. For

the fees payable to the managing member or general partner, as the case may
be, pursuant to a Venture Agreement. The term "Restricted Party" includes
PREI and its Affiliates, Xxxxxxx and its Affiliates and such other persons

described in Sections 3.1(a) or (c) of the Venture Agreement for any

only under the circumstances referenced in clauses (i), (ii), (iv) or
(v)) shall be entitled to initiate the buy/sell rights set forth in
this Section 4.1 as to (x) in the case of clauses (i), (iv) or (v),
the particular Venture(s) relevant to such clause or (y) in the case
of clauses (ii) or (iii), any particular Venture(s) or all of the
Ventures.
(b) Either PREI or Xxxxxxx (an "Offeror") may serve upon the
other (an "Offeree") a notice (an "Offering Notice") which shall
contain the following terms:
(i) a statement of intent to rely on this Section 4.1 and
the particular clause in Section 4.1(a) relied on; and
(ii) a valuation stating the aggregate dollar amount (the
"Specified Valuation Amount") which the Offeror as a third party
would be willing to pay in cash for all of the ownership of the
Venture(s), exclusive of all prepaid expenses, notes and accounts
receivable (net of reserves and adjustments), marketable
securities, cash and cash equivalents (the "Other Assets").
(c) Within 15 business days after receipt of the Offering Notice
by the Offeree (the "Option Period"), the Offeree shall notify the
Offeror whether the Offeree elects:
(i) to sell its interest in the Venture(s) to the Offeror
for an amount equal to (A) the amount the Offeree would have been
entitled to receive if the Venture(s) had been sold on the
Buy/Sell Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) for a purchase
price equal to the Specified Valuation Amount and (B) the book
value of the Other Assets adjusted to the Buy/Sell Closing Date
(determined in accordance with GAAP), and the Venture had been
wound up and terminated in accordance with its Venture Agreement;
or
(ii) to purchase the Offeror's interest in the Venture(s)
for an amount equal to the amount the Offeror would have been
entitled to receive if the Venture(s) had been sold on the

Other Assets adjusted to the Buy/Sell Closing Date (determined in

the election by the Offeree or five business days after the expiration
of the Option Period, whichever is earlier, the party obligated to
purchase under this Section 4.1 (the "Purchaser") shall deposit in
cash an amount equal to 10% of the Specified Valuation Amount (the

purchase price at the closing referenced below, or shall be paid to
the Seller as liquidated damages in the event of default by the
Purchaser. In the event Purchaser fails to deposit timely such
xxxxxxx money as provided above (such Purchaser being then referred to
as a "Defaulting Purchaser"), Seller shall have the option (i) within
fifteen days thereafter, unless the Defaulting Purchaser has earlier
cured such default by depositing the required xxxxxxx money as
provided above, of substituting itself as Purchaser under this Section
4.1 to purchase the Defaulting Purchaser's interest in the Venture(s)
at a 10% discount from the Specified Valuation Amount (such Seller
being then referred to as a "Substituted Purchaser") by giving notice
to the Defaulting Purchaser of its intention to do so and by
depositing, within five days after such notice, xxxxxxx money equal to
10% of the Specified Valuation Amount (after giving effect to such 10%
discount) with an independent and neutral party reasonably selected by
the Substituted Purchaser, whereupon, for purposes of Section 4.1(f)
and (g), the Substituted Purchaser shall become the Purchaser and the
Defaulting Purchaser shall become the Seller; or (ii) at any time
after default by the Defaulting Purchaser in depositing the xxxxxxx

proceedings or as otherwise permitted by law, as liquidated damages
for its default in its obligations under this Section 4.1, an amount
of money equal to the amount of xxxxxxx money the Defaulting Purchaser
was required to deposit pursuant to this Section 4.1.
(f) On or before the date on which the Purchaser is required to
make the xxxxxxx money deposit referenced in Section 4.1(e) (or, with
respect to a Substituted Purchaser, within five business days after
making such xxxxxxx money deposit), the Purchaser shall fix a closing
date (the "Buy/Sell Closing Date") not later than 30 days following
(i) the date of the election by the Offeree, or (ii) if no election
was made, the date of the expiration of the Option Period. The
closing shall take place on the Buy/Sell Closing Date at a location
reasonably designated by the Purchaser.
(g) At the closing on the Buy/Sell Closing Date, the Purchaser
shall pay Seller, in cash, the amount determined in Section 4.1(c)
(any xxxxxxx money actually deposited being credited against such
amount) and the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser or
its designee assignments of interest, bills of sale, instruments of
conveyance, and other instruments as the Purchaser may reasonably
require, to give it or its designee good and indefeasible title to all
of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to its interest in
and to the Venture(s). Purchaser shall pay all closing costs,
including without limitation, escrow costs and transfer taxes;
provided, however, that the Purchaser and the Seller shall pay their
own respective legal costs and expenses in connection with the
preparation of the closing documentation.
(h) The sale of an interest in any Venture pursuant to this
Section 4.1 shall be deemed to be a sale of the assets of such Venture
by such Venture for the Specified Valuation Amount plus the book value
of the Other Assets and shall be accounted for in each party's capital
account under the applicable Venture Agreement in the same manner as
such sale would be accounted.
(i) The Purchaser (or Substituted Purchaser), if PREI, shall,
upon deposit of 250% of the xxxxxxx money required by this Section
4.1, and upon written notice thereof to the other Partner, have the
option to immediately become the general partner or managing member of
the Venture(s) and irrevocably remain so unless the Purchaser (or

omission made by it in the absence of its own conduct that constitutes a

nevertheless be entitled to recover promptly from the Indemnifying Person
the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Person's claim for
the difference.

this Article IX if and to the extent such Loss is covered by a policy of
insurance or benefits from a right to indemnification from a Person not
party to this Agreement and payment is made under such policy to the
