Section 4.3 Additional Capital Contributions.
(a) No Partner shall have an obligation or responsibility to contribute additional capital or loan funds to the Company other than the Initial Capital Contributions.
(b) If, at any time, funds of the Company are not sufficient to pay legal obligations of the Company incurred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Company may obtain funds (“Required Funds”) to pay for such legal obligations.
(c) If the General Partner elects not to borrow all or any portion of Required Funds from a third party institutional lender, the CNL LP may elect to make a loan (a “Partner Loan”) or contribute capital to the Company equal to all or a portion of the Required Funds. If CNL LP elects to make a Partner Loan, each Partner Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note and shall bear interest at the rate of 11% per annum.

20
obligation to make a Partner Loan or contribute additional capital) and the Required Funds are for the purpose of paying Non-Discretionary Expenses, the General Partner may, subject to Section 6.4, request that the Limited Partners make Capital Contributions to the Company to provide all or any portion of such Required Funds to the Company (Capital Contributions after the initial Capital Contributions are sometimes referred to as “Additional Capital Contributions”) and the General Partner shall have the right to request such Additional Capital Contributions even if the Company is able to borrow all or any portion of the Required Funds. If the General Partner elects to request that the Limited Partners make Additional Capital Contributions, then the General Partner shall notify the Limited Partners and specify (i) the reason for the Additional Capital Contribution (i.e., an explanation of the Non-Discretionary Expenses that are the subject of request for Additional Capital Contributions), (ii) the total amount to be contributed and (iii) a contribution date (which shall be not less than ten (10) days following the date of the giving of such notice) by which such Additional Capital Contributions shall be made to the Company. The Limited Partners shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contribute the Additional Capital Contributions, in cash, to the capital of the Company in proportion to their then relative Percentage Interests in the Company, provided such Additional Capital Contributions shall be made no later than the contribution date specified in the notice from the General Partner. Any amounts so contributed by a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 4.3(c) shall be added to and increase such Limited Partner’s Capital Account. Neither the General Partner nor the Limited Partners shall in any circumstances be required to contribute additional capital to the Company.
Section 4.4 Capital Accounts.
(a) A separate capital account (each a “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Partner in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and this Section 4.4 shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith. Whenever the Company would be permitted to adjust the Capital Accounts of the Partners pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Company property, the Company may so adjust the Capital Accounts of the Partners. In the event that the Capital Accounts of the Partners are adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Company property, (i) the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property, (ii) the Partners’ distributive shares of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of such property in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c), and (iii) the amount of upward and/or downward adjustments to the book value of the Company property shall be treated as income, gain, deduction and/or loss for purposes of applying the allocation provisions of Article 5. In the event that Code Section 704(c) applies to Company property, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain and loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property.
21
(b) If all or a portion of a Partner’s Partnership Interest is Transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the Transferred Partnership Interest.
(c) In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of this Section 4.4(c), Section 752(c) of the Code and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations shall be taken into account.
This Section 4.4 and other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations. If the General Partner, with the advice of the Company’s independent certified public accountants, reasonably determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any charges or credits thereto (including charges or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributions or distributed property or which are assumed by the Company or by Partners), are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the General Partner may make such modification, but only if it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts to be distributed to any Partner pursuant to Section 5.1 or pursuant to Section 13.3 upon the dissolution of the Company. The General Partner also shall make any adjustments that may be necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the Capital Accounts of the Partners and the amount of capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q).
Section 4.5 Return of Capital Contributions. No Partner or Assignee shall be entitled to demand the return of the Partner’s Capital Account or Capital Contribution at any particular time, except upon dissolution of the Company. No Partner or Assignee shall be entitled at any time to demand or receive property other than cash. Unless otherwise provided by law, no Partner or Assignee shall be personally liable for the return or repayment of all or any part of any other Partner’s Capital Account or Capital Contribution, it being expressly agreed that any such return of capital pursuant to this Agreement shall be made solely from the assets (which shall not include any right of contribution from a Partner or Assignee) of the Company.
Section 4.6 No Third Party Beneficiary Rights. The provisions of this Article 4 are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor or any other Person (other than a Partner in its, his or her capacity as such) to whom any debts, liabilities or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has any claim against) the Company or any of the Partners; and no such creditor or other Person shall obtain any right under any of such provisions or shall by reason of any of such provisions make any claim in respect of any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise) against the Company nor any of the Partners. Nothing in this Section shall impair or affect any security or pledge agreement granted to a lender by the Company.
ARTICLE 5-ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1 Distributions.
(a) Net Cash Flow.
22
(i) The General Partner shall distribute Net Cash Flow among the Partners, quarterly within thirty (30) days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter in accordance with the following order of priority:
(A) First, to the CNL Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Adjusted Percentage Interests, to pay the CNL First Tier Preferred Distribution;
(B) Second, to Xxxx XX to pay the Xxxx XX First Tier Subordinated Distribution;
(C) Third, to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their Adjusted Percentage Interests, until the sum of the aggregate amounts distributed to each of the Partners pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) for all Fiscal Years is equal to the Second Tier Preferred Distribution;
(D) Fourth, 60% to the CNL Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Adjusted Percentage Interests, and 40% to the Xxxx XX until the sum of the aggregate amounts distributed to each of the Partners pursuant to this Section 5.1(a) for all Fiscal Years is equal to the Third Tier Preferred Distribution; and
(E) Thereafter, 50% to the CNL Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Adjusted Percentage Interests, and 50% to Xxxx XX.
(ii) The General Partner shall reasonably adjust the Net Cash Flow distributed within thirty (30) days after the end of the last Fiscal Quarter of each Fiscal Year (and to the extent necessary the Partners agree to make appropriate adjustments among themselves) to ensure that the amount distributable to each of the Partners for the entire Fiscal Year is equal to the amounts each of the Partners would have received under Section 5.1(a)(i) if the Net Cash Flow was determined for the entire Fiscal Year and was distributed in a single disbursement as of December 31 of each Fiscal Year (such adjustments, for example, shall take into account any increased yield a Partner receives as a result of receiving distributions quarterly instead of annually).
(b) Capital Proceeds. Capital Proceeds (including Capital Proceeds distributed to the Partners in winding up the Company) remaining after the payment of any debts and liabilities of the Company and the Subsidiaries (through a capital contribution to the Subsidiaries) due and payable at such time and the establishment of any reserves which the General Partner reasonably determines to be necessary to provide for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company of the Subsidiaries, (provided that at such time as the General Partner determines to be advisable, the balance of the reserves remaining after the payment of such contingencies shall be deemed Capital Proceeds available for distribution) shall be distributed in accordance with the following order of priority:
(i) First, to the CNL Partners, pro rata, in proportion to the amount of each such Partner’s Net Unreturned Capital until the aggregate amount distributed to such Partners pursuant to this Section 5.1 for all Fiscal Years provides the CNL Partners with
23
an 11% Internal Rate of Return on their Capital Contributions (“CNL First Tier IRR Amount”);
(ii) Second, to Xxxx XX until the aggregate amount distributed to the Xxxx XX pursuant to this Section 5.1 for all Fiscal Years provides the Xxxx XX with an 11% Internal Rate of Return on its Capital Contributions (“Xxxx XX First Tier Subordinated IRR Amount”);
(iii) Third, to the Partners, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests, until the aggregate amount distributed to such Partners pursuant to this Section 5.1 for all Fiscal Years provides each such Partner with an 14% Internal Rate of Return on their respective Capital Contributions (“Second Tier IRR Amount”);
(iv) Fourth, 60% to the CNL Partners, pro rata, in proportion to the amount of each such Partner’s respective Adjusted Percentage Interest, and 40% to Xxxx XX until the aggregate amount distributed to such Partners pursuant to this Section 5.1 for all Fiscal Years provides each such Partner with an 16% Internal Rate of Return on their respective Capital Contributions (“Third Tier IRR Amount”); and
(v) Thereafter, 50% to the CNL Partners, pro rata, in proportion to the amount of each such Partner’s respective Adjusted Percentage Interest, and 50% to Xxxx XX.
(c) Adjustments to Net Cash Flow for Funds Retained by Lenders. If during any Fiscal Year, a Lender is entitled to retain any revenues of the Company or a Subsidiary (the “Retained Revenues”) as a result of a Subsidiary’s debt service coverage ratio falling below a specified threshold, then if, and to the extent, such Retained Revenues are ultimately released to the Subsidiary by such Lender in a subsequent Fiscal Year as a result of the Subsidiary satisfying the specified debt service coverage or for any other reason, then notwithstanding the timing of the release of the Retained Revenues, Net Cash Flow for such prior Fiscal Year and the current Fiscal Year shall be redetermined as if such Lender had not withheld the Retained Revenue and to the extent necessary such Retained Revenues shall be disbursed in such a manner and to such Partners as necessary to reconcile and adjust the distributions of Net Cash Flow between the Partners to ensure that the Partners receive the amount of Net Cash Flow the Partners would have otherwise received for the applicable Fiscal Year if such Lender had not withheld the Retained Revenues and the Retained Revenues were available to be included in Net Cash Flow in the year in which the Subsidiary received such Retained Revenues.
(d) Compliance with Law. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no distribution shall be made to a Partner or a successor-in-interest to a Partner hereunder if such distribution would not comply with the requirements of the Act or other applicable law.
24
Section 5.2 Determination of Profits and Losses. For purposes of this Agreement, the profit (“Profit”) or loss (“Loss”) of the Company for each Fiscal Year shall be the net income or net loss of the Company for such Fiscal Year as determined for Federal income tax purposes, but computed with the following adjustments:
(a) without regard to any adjustment to basis pursuant to Section 743 of the Code (except as provided in Section 5.2(h));
(b) by including the net gain (after expenses) or net loss (after expenses) realized or incurred by the Company in a Capital Transaction determined on the basis of the Carrying Value of the property which is the subject of the sale or other disposition;
(c) by taking into account items of deduction attributable to any property of the Company based upon the Carrying Value of the property;
(d) by including as an item of gross income any tax-exempt income received by the Company;
(e) by treating as a deductible expense any expenditure of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code;
(f) by excluding any item of income, gain, loss or deduction which is required to be specially allocated to a Partner making a Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder;
(g) in the event the Carrying Value of an asset of the Company is adjusted pursuant to clauses (ii) or (iii) of the definition thereof, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Profit or Loss;
(h) to the extent an adjustment to the Adjusted Basis of any asset of the Company pursuant to Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as a result of a distribution other than in complete liquidation of a Partner’s Partnership Interest, the amount of such adjustment shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the Adjusted Basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the Adjusted Basis of the asset) from the disposition of the asset and shall be taken into account for purposes of computing Profit or Loss.
Section 5.3 General Allocation of Profit and Loss.
(a) Subject to and after making any special allocations pursuant to Section 5.4, Profits remaining for each fiscal year shall be allocated among the Partners in the following manner:
(i) First, to the Partners, in the same ratio and reverse order as Losses were allocated to such Partners for all prior Fiscal Years pursuant to Section 5.3(b) excluding allocations of Losses pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(i) which were a “chargeback” of prior allocations of Profit, until the excess of the amount of Profit allocated to the Partners pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(i) for all Fiscal Years over the amount of Loss allocated to the Partners pursuant to Section 5.3(b) for all Fiscal Years, excluding allocations of Losses pursuant to Section 5.3(b)(i) which were a “chargeback” of prior allocations of Profit, is equal to zero;
25
(ii) Second, to the CNL Partners, in proportion to and to the extent necessary so that the Adjusted Capital Account Balance of each of the CNL Partners equals the amount which, if distributed to each such Partner would be sufficient, taking into account the aggregate amount of all prior distributions to such Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 above for all Fiscal Years, to provide each CNL Partner with such CNL Partner’s CNL First Tier IRR Amount;
(iii) Third, to the Xxxx XX to the extent necessary so that the Adjusted Capital Account Balance of the Xxxx XX equals the amount which, if distributed to the Xxxx XX, would be sufficient, taking into account the aggregate amount of all prior distributions to the Xxxx XX pursuant to Section 5.1 above for all Fiscal Years, to provide the Xxxx XX with the Xxxx XX First Tier Subordinated IRR Amount;
(iv) Fourth, to the Partners, in proportion to and to the extent necessary so that the Adjusted Capital Account Balance of each Partner equals the amount which, if distributed to each such Partner would be sufficient, taking into account the aggregate amount of all prior distributions to such Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 above for all Fiscal Years, to provide each such Partner with its Second Tier IRR Amount;
(v) Fifth, 60% to the CNL Partners pro rata (in proportion to their respective Adjusted Percentage Interests), and 40% to the Xxxx XX until the Adjusted Capital Account Balance of each of the CNL Partners and the Xxxx XX equals the amount which, if distributed to such Partner(s) would be sufficient to provide such Partner(s) with their Third Tier IRR Amount, taking into account the aggregate amount of all prior distributions to such Partner(s) pursuant to Section 5.1 above for all Fiscal Years, to the extent such distributions are made pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1(a)(i)(A)-(D) or Section 5.1(b)(i)-(iv) or otherwise have been properly taken into account for purposes of making distributions to such Partners pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1(b)(iv) as of such time;
(vi) Sixth, to each of the Partners in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate distributions that have been made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(iv) in all Fiscal Years (excluding, for this purpose, the net amount which would be properly treated as reducing such Partner’s invested capital in connection with determining such Partner’s Internal Rate of Return as of such time) over the aggregate Profit allocations made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.3(a)(v) and (vi) for all Fiscal Years, pro rata, in proportion to each Partner’s share of such excess as of such time, until the amount of such excess has been reduced to zero; and
(vii) Thereafter, fifty percent (50%) to the CNL Partners, pro rata (in proportion to their respective Adjusted Percentage Interests), and fifty percent (50%) to the Xxxx XX.
26
(b) Loss, Expense and Deduction. Subject to and after making any special allocations pursuant to Section 5.4, remaining Loss shall be allocated among the Partners in the following manner:
(i) First, to the Partners, in the same ratio and reverse order as Profits were allocated to such Partners for all prior Fiscal Years pursuant to Sections 5.3(a)(ii)-(vi), until the excess of the aggregate amount of Loss allocated to the Partners pursuant to this Section 5.3(b)(i) for all Fiscal Years over the amount of Profits allocated to the Partners pursuant to Sections 5.3(a)(ii)-(vi) for all Fiscal Years is equal to zero;
(ii) Second, to the Xxxx XX, until the Adjusted Capital Account Balance of the Xxxx XX equals $0;
(iii) Third, to the CNL Partners in proportion to and to the extent necessary so that the Adjusted Capital Account Balance of each CNL Partner equals $0; and
(iv) Thereafter, 100% to the General Partner.
Provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, no Limited Partner shall receive an allocation of Loss pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) which would cause such Limited Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, and any amount of Loss not allocated to a Limited Partner pursuant to this proviso limiting Section 5.3(b) shall be allocated to the General Partner. The limitations set forth in this Section 5.3(b) shall be applied on a Limited Partner by Limited Partner basis.
Section 5.4 Special Allocations.
The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain or in any Partner Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period, prior to any other allocation pursuant hereto, the Partners shall be specially allocated items of Profit for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount and manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2. This Section 5.4(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4), will be interpreted consistently with the Treasury Regulations and will be subject to all exceptions provided therein.
(b) Qualified Income Offset. Any Partner who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be allocated items of income or gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Partner as quickly as possible. This Section 5.4(b) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), will be interpreted consistently with the Treasury Regulations and will be subject to all exceptions provided therein.
(c) Gross Income Allocation. Each Partner who has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership taxable year that is in excess of the amount the Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, including any amount that it is deemed to be
27
obligated to restore under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and Section 1.704-2(i)(5), will be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of the excess as quickly as possible.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period will be specially allocated among the Partners pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Company.
(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period will be allocated to the Partner 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 principles under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).
(f) Code Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset under Sections 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the basis), and the gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).
(g) Curative Allocations. The “Regulatory Allocations” consist of allocations made to a Partner (or predecessor) under Section 5.4(a) through 5.4(f). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.4, other items of income, gain, loss and deduction will be allocated among the Partners so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of those allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Partner will be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to the Partner if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. The General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 5.4(a) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset Regulatory Allocations under Sections 5.4(d) and 5.4(e).
Section 5.5 Income Tax Elections. In the event of a Transfer of all or part of a Partnership Interest (or of the interest of a partner or member in a partnership or limited liability company which is a Partner), the General Partner may (but shall not be obligated to) make the election described in Section 754 of the Code.
Section 5.6 Income Tax Allocations.
(a) For purposes of Sections 702 and 704 of the Code, or the corresponding sections of any future Federal internal revenue law, or any similar tax law of any state or other jurisdiction, the Company’s profits, gains and losses for Federal income tax purposes, and each item of income, gain, loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof, shall be allocated among the Partners, to the extent possible, in the same proportions as the corresponding “book” items are allocated pursuant to Section 5.3.
(b) If any portion of the Profit from a Capital Transaction allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.6(a) is characterized as ordinary income under the recapture provisions of the Code, each Partner’s distributive share of taxable gain from the sale of the
28
property that gave rise to such Profit (to the extent possible) shall include a proportionate share of the recapture income equal to that Partner’s share of prior cumulative depreciation deductions with respect to the property that give rise to the recapture income.
Section 5.7 Transfers During Fiscal Year. In the event of the Transfer of all or any part of a Partnership Interest (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) at any time other than the end of a Fiscal Year, the share of Profit or Loss and items of income, gain, loss and expense (in respect of the Partnership Interest so Transferred) shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee in the same ratio as the number of days in the Fiscal Year before and after such Transfer.

Section 8.3 Partners’ Rights of First Offer and First Refusal.
(a) A Transfer of a Partnership Interest by a Partner permitted by Section 8.2(d) or (e) shall not be made without first giving to the other Partners (in the case of a Transfer) a notice (the “Offering Notice”) in which the Partner or the Assignee (hereinafter referred to as the “Offeror”) irrevocably offers to sell to the Partner(s) to whom the Offering Notice is given (the “Offeree”), the Offeror’s entire Partnership Interest or Economic Rights (hereinafter referred to as the “Offered Interest”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section. The Offering Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the First Offer or a true, correct and complete copy of the Third Party Offer. In the case of a Third Party Offer, the giving of an Offering Notice shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Offeror to the Offeree that the Third Party Offer is bona fide in all respects.
(b) For a period of 30 days after receipt of the Offering Notice, the Offeree shall have the option to purchase the Offered Interest for the same purchase price and on the same terms set forth in the First Offer or Third Party Offer. The Offeree may exercise its option to purchase the Offered Interest only by giving notice to the Offeror within the 30-day period.
(c) If, within the 30-day period referred to in Section 8.3(b), the Offeree does not give notice to the Offeror of the exercise of its option to purchase the entire Offered Interest, the Offeror shall be free to Transfer the Offered Interest to any Person in the case of a First Offer or to the Person who made the Third Party Offer, in the case of a Third Party Offer, but the Transfer must be consummated within 180 days after the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in Section 8.3(b) strictly in accordance with the terms of the First Offer or Third Party Offer, as applicable (provided, however, that in the case of a First Offer, the Transfer may be for a higher price and/or on less favorable terms to the buyer than 95% of the price or the terms specified in the First Offer). If the Transfer of the Offered Interest is not consummated within 120 days after the expiration of the 30-day period referred to in Section 8.3(b), the Offeror may not thereafter Transfer all or any part of its Partnership Interest or Economic Rights to the same Person who made the Third Party Offer (if applicable) or to any other Person without first complying with the provisions of this Section. If a Partner’s Partnership Interest is, or an Assignee’s Economic Rights are, Transferred to a Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, the transferee shall be an Assignee but shall not become a Partner unless admitted as such pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2.
(d) For purposes of this Section 8.3, the term “First Offer,” means a written offer to sell a Partner’s entire Partnership Interest or an Assignee’s entire Economic Interest, as the case may be, for a specified price payable in cash. For the purposes of this Section 8.3, the term “Third Party Offer” shall mean a written offer to purchase a Partner’s entire Partnership Interest or an Assignee’s entire Economic Rights, as the case may be, open for acceptance for at least 30 days, for a specified price from a financially responsible Person, identified therein by name and address, who is financially capable of complying with the terms of the Third Party Offer and who is unrelated, directly or indirectly, to the Partner or the Assignee, or any Affiliate thereof, and which does not contain terms or conditions which the Offeree, for reasons
41
other than its financial condition, are not reasonably capable of performing, such as payment in a specific form of property (such as corporate stock or a unique or specific item or class of property) not readily available to the Offeree or for which no recognized or adequate public market exists. The Person who makes the Third Party Offer shall be deemed to be “unrelated” only if it is not an Affiliate of the Partner or the Assignee and there is no arrangement of any kind whereby the Partner or the Assignee, directly or indirectly, will be financially interested in the ownership of the Project, or any interest therein, after the sale of the Partnership Interests or the Economic Rights. If the Person making the Third Party Offer is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, all shareholders, members or partners owning more than ten percent (10%) of its stock, membership interests or partnership interests shall be identified.
Section 8.4 Non-Complying Transfers Void. Any attempted Transfer of all or any part of a Partner’s Partnership Interest or an Assignee’s Economic Rights that does not comply with the provisions of Section 8.2 shall be null and void and of no legal effect.
Section 8.5 Xxxx XX Put.
(a) At any time prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the Master Lease Termination Date, Xxxx XX may, upon written notice given to the CNL LP (the “Xxxx XX Transfer Notice”) elect to sell its Partnership Interest to CNL LP for an amount equal to the Buy-Out Price, and in such event the CNL LP (or its designee) shall be obligated to purchase Crow LP’s Partnership Interest on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Upon delivery by Xxxx XX to the CNL LP of the Xxxx XX Transfer Notice, such election shall be irrevocable.
(b) If Xxxx XX fails to provide the CNL LP with a Xxxx XX Transfer Notice within thirty (30) days after the Master Leases Termination Date, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) members of the Management Board appointed by Xxxx XX shall have no further right to approve any Major Decision, and (ii) CNL LP shall have a continuing right to purchase Crow LP’s Partnership Interest in accordance with Section 10.3 of this Agreement. No Master Leases Termination Payment shall be payable in connection with a termination of the Master Leases that is governed by this Section 8.5.
(c) In the event Xxxx XX provides a Xxxx XX Transfer Notice and obligates the CNL LP or CNL Purchaser to purchase Crow LP’s Partnership Interest, then (i) the closing of such purchase shall occur on or before 60 days following the Appraisal Date, (ii) any decisions to be made by the Company in connection with such sale to the CNL Purchaser shall be made by the General Partner acting alone, (iii) one-half of the purchase price shall be paid in immediately available funds and the balance (the “Deferred Portion”) shall be paid in two equal installments on the first and second anniversary dates of the closing of the purchase, and (iv) all funds in the Holdback Escrow shall remain in the Holdback Escrow until such funds have been applied in accordance with the terms thereof or the conditions to the release of such funds have been satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof.
(d) If CNL Partners allege that they have suffered or incurred any damages as a result of the Event of Default that was the basis for the termination of either or both of the Master Leases, the CNL Partners shall submit their claim for damages to arbitration pursuant to
42
Section 14.9 of this Agreement and the damages awarded, if any, may be offset against any payments of the Deferred Portion that have not been paid at the time of the award and to the extent such Deferred Portion is not sufficient, the Company and the CNL Partners shall have all rights and remedies against the Crow Master Tenants provided for in the Master Leases.
Section 8.6 Appraisal Procedure. Whenever the fair market value of Project is to be determined by the Partners under this Agreement, such fair market value shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner: (i) all appraisers shall be members of the Appraisal Institute or any organization successor thereto; (ii) Xxxx XX shall promptly appoint an appraiser and give notice of the appointment to the CNL LP; (iii) within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Crow LP’s notice, the CNL LP shall appoint a second appraiser; (iv) if the CNL LP fails to appoint a second appraiser within (15) days after receipt of Crow LP’s notice of the appointment of the first appraiser, the first appraiser shall proceed to make his/her appraisal of the Project and the fair market value of the Project shall be the amount determined by the first appraiser; (v) each appraiser shall make an independent written appraisal; and (vi) the expenses of the first two appraisals shall be borne by the Partner selecting the appraiser and the expense of any third appraisal shall be divided equally between Xxxx XX and the CNL LP. If the two appraisers so appointed agree on the fair market value of the Project, the fair market value of the Project shall be the amount determined by them. If the two appraisers so appointed do not agree on the fair market value of the Project, but if the difference between the fair market value determined by each appraiser is not more than five percent (5%) of the lower of the two appraisals, the fair market value of the Project shall be an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the sum of the fair market values determined by each appraiser, by two (2). If the two appraisers so appointed do not agree on the fair market value of the Project, and if the difference between the fair market value determined by each appraiser is more than five percent (5%) of the lower of the two appraisals, the two appraisers shall jointly appoint a third appraiser. If the appraisers so appointed shall be unable, within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, either to agree on the fair market value of the Project (or to disagree on such value with a difference of five percent (5%) or less), or to agree on the appointment of a third appraiser, they shall give written notice of such failure to agree to Xxxx XX and the CNL LP, and, if such Partners fail to agree upon the selection of a third appraiser within fifteen (15) days after the appraisers appointed by the Partners give such notice, then within twenty (20) days thereafter any Partner upon written notice to the other Partners may request such appointment by the then-President of the Appraisal Institute (or any organization successor thereto), or in his/her failure to act, may apply for such appointment to the United States District Court for the jurisdiction in which the Project is located. If a third appraiser is appointed, he/she shall make his/her valuation of the Project within thirty (30) days after his/her appointment and the fair market value of the Project shall be the fair market value of the Project determined by whichever of the first two appraisers is (in the opinion of the third appraiser) closest in amount to the fair market value of the Project as determined by the third appraiser. The third appraiser shall not make an independent appraisal of the Project, but the third appraiser’s function shall be solely to determine which of the appraisals made by the first two appraisers most closely represents such fair market value. Each appraiser appointed pursuant to this Section shall be a disinterested person of nationally recognized competence with experience in appraising major commercial properties. Each appraiser shall determine the fair market value of the Project, as a whole, on the basis of all relevant factors affecting fair market value (and without regard to the Master Leases). The party appointing each appraiser shall be obligated, promptly after receipt of the valuation
43
report prepared by the appraiser appointed by such party, to deliver a copy of such valuation report to the other party in the manner provided elsewhere in this Agreement for the giving of notices. If a third appraiser is appointed, the third appraiser shall be directed, at the time of his or her appointment, to deliver copies of his or her valuation report, promptly after its completion, to all parties in the manner provided elsewhere in this Agreement for the giving of notices. The “Appraisal Date” shall be the earliest to occur of (i) the date of the first appraiser’s appraisal report, if the CNL LP fails to appoint a second appraiser within the time required by this Section, (ii) the date on which the first appraiser and the second appraiser sign a joint report in which they agree on the fair market value of the Project, (iii) the later of the date of the first appraiser’s appraisal report or the second appraiser’s appraisal report, if the first two appraisers do not agree on the fair market value of the Project, but the difference between them is less than five percent of the lower of their two appraisals, or (iv) the date of the third appraiser’s appraisal report.
ARTICLE 9-ADMISSION OF ASSIGNEES
Section 9.1 Rights of Assignees. The Assignee of a Partnership Interest has no Management Rights and, unless the Assignee is a Permitted Transferee, no right to become a Partner. The Assignee’s only rights are the Economic Rights allocable to the Transferred Partnership Interest.

Each Partner shall have the right to give or withhold its consent to the admission of the Assignee as a Partner in such Partner’s sole and absolute discretion. An Assignee who is admitted as a Partner shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of the Partner who originally Transferred the Partnership Interest. The admission of the Assignee as a Partner shall not release the Partner who originally Transferred the Partnership Interest from any liability to the Company that exists before such admission, unless all of the Partners shall consent in writing to such release.

Section 10.2 Remedies.

The Nondefaulting Partner shall have all rights at law or in equity against the Defaulting Partner with respect to any Event of Default by the Defaulting Partner; provided, however, if the CNL Partners are Defaulting Partners because of their failure to contribute all of their respective Initial Capital Contribution to the Company, the Nondefaulting Partner’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to exercise the Repurchase Option set forth in Section 10.4 below.
Section 10.3 Nondefaulting Partner’s Option to Purchase. If any Partner defaults under this Agreement and such default is not cured within the time periods referred to above, then the Nondefaulting Partner shall have the right to purchase the Partnership Interest of the Defaulting Partner for an amount equal to the Defaulting Partner’s Buy-Out Price. The Nondefaulting Partner shall exercise its right to purchase Defaulting Partner’s Partnership Interest by giving written notice (“Buy-Out Notice”) of such exercise. In the event the
46
Nondefaulting Partner provides a Buy-Out Notice, the Defaulting Partner shall be obligated to sell its Partnership Interest to the Nondefaulting Partner or any other purchaser designated by the Nondefaulting Partner, and (i) the closing of such purchase and sale shall occur on or before 30 days following the Appraisal Date, (ii) any decisions to be made by the Company in connection with such sale to such designated purchaser (that is, decisions to be made on behalf of the Company in dealing with such designated purchaser) shall be made by the Nondefaulting Partner acting alone, (iii) one-half of the purchase price shall be paid in immediately available funds and the Deferred Portion shall be payable in two equal installments on the first and second anniversary date of the closing of the purchase, (iv) Defaulting Partner shall execute such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to legally transfer its Partnership Interest to designated purchaser, and (v) if the Xxxx XX is the Defaulting Partner, contemporaneously with the closing, Crow Master Tenant and the Company shall terminate the Master Lease and Xxxx XX will cause Crow Master Tenant to cooperate with the Company and, if applicable, any new tenant who will enter into a master lease with the Company, to transition the business operations of the Project in a manner that will cause as little disruption in such business operations as is necessary under the circumstances. No Master Lease Termination Payment shall be payable in respect of a termination of the Master Lease pursuant to this Section. If CNL Partners allege that they have suffered or incurred any damages as a result of the Event of Default that was the basis for the termination of either or both of the Master Leases, such CNL Partners shall submit their claim for damages to arbitration pursuant to Section 14.9 of this Agreement and the damages awarded, if any, may be offset against any payments of the Deferred Portion that have not been paid at the time of the award and to the extent such Deferred Portion is not sufficient, the Company and the CNL Partners shall have all rights and remedies against the Crow Master Tenants provided for in the Master Leases. All funds in the Holdback Escrow shall remain in the Holdback Escrow until such funds have been applied in accordance with the terms thereof or the conditions to the release of such funds have been satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof.

Xxxx XX shall exercise the Repurchase Option by giving written notice of such exercise to the CNL Partners prior to the expiration of the Repurchase Option Period. The CNL Partners shall not have the right to terminate the Repurchase Option by making capital contributions during the Repurchase Option Period unless Xxxx XX consents in writing to waive the Repurchase Option in consideration for such capital contribution. If Xxxx XX fails to timely exercise the Repurchase Option during the Repurchase Option Period, the Repurchase Option shall expire and be of no further force or effect. If Xxxx XX timely exercises the Repurchase Option, the CNL Partners shall sell all of their Partnership Interest to Xxxx XX or any other purchaser designated by Xxxx XX, and (i) the closing of such purchase and sale shall occur on or before 30 days following the date Xxxx XX gives written notice to CNL Partners of its election to exercise the Repurchase Option, (ii) the Repurchase Price shall be paid in cash to the CNL
47
Partners, and (iii) the Partners shall execute such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to legally transfer the Partnership Interests of the CNL Partners to the designated purchaser. For the purposes of this Section 10.4, the term “Repurchase Price” means an amount determined on the date that Xxxx XX exercises the Repurchase Option equal to the sum of all Capital Contributions made by the CNL Partners as of such date plus the unpaid balance of all Partner Loans (if any) made by the CNL Partners as of such date minus $3,000,000.
ARTICLE 11-BUY-SELL
Section 11.1 Initiation of Procedure. At any time on or after fifth anniversary of the Effective Date, any Partner (the “Initiating Partner”) may, by written notice to the other Partner (the “Recipient Partner”), initiate a buy-sell by designating a price (the “Designated Price”) for the Project and all other assets owned by the Company and terms at which the Initiating Partner is willing either to buy the Partnership Interests of the Recipient Partner (and any Permitted Transferees of the Recipient Partner) in the Company or to sell its own Partnership Interest (and the Partnership Interest of its Permitted Transferees) to the Recipient Partner (“Offer”). The buying Partner would be obligated to pay to selling Partner the amount the selling Partner would receive if the Project was sold for the Designated Price and the proceeds from such sale were distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.3. For purposes of this Section 11.1, the Partnership Interest of the Initiating Partner and the Recipient Partner shall include any Permitted Transferee(s) of the Initiating Partner or the Recipient Partner, as the case may be, and the Partnership Interests of the Related Partners shall be treated as owned by the same party. The Offer shall be accompanied by evidence of a cash deposit into the escrow account of a reputable title company situated in Dallas, Texas an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the purchase price set forth in the Offer and a comprehensive purchase agreement pursuant to which the purchase shall be made which contains all terms, conditions, covenants, representations, warranties and other agreements, except such terms shall provide for the entire purchase price to be paid in immediately available funds at closing. The buying Partner shall pay the selling Partner an amount equal to the amount the selling Partner and its Permitted Transferees would receive under Section 5.1(b) (but without taking into account Section 5.1(b)(ii)) if the assets of the Company were sold for the Designated Price. The buying Partner shall purchase the Partnership Interest(s) of the selling Partner and its Permitted Transferees subject to all Partnership liabilities which shall be specifically assumed by the buying Partner unless the same are non-recourse to the selling Partner (in which case the buying Partner takes subject to such liability). The buying Partner shall further indemnify the selling Partner and its Permitted Transferees as to said liabilities. In addition, as a condition to any Partner becoming a buying Partner, such Partner and the Company shall arrange for the specific release of the selling Partner and/or any Affiliates of the selling Partner from the primary liability (as opposed to continuing liabilities, such as environmental liabilities, which cannot be released) to any institutional lenders having outstanding loans to the Company (including the cancellation and return of all guarantees, letters of credit, and other security or assurances posted or made by the selling Partner or any Affiliates of the selling Partner, or principal of the selling Partner). For purposes of this Section 11.1, the CNL Partners shall be treated collectively as the Initiating Partner, Recipient Partner, buying Partner and/or selling Partner, as applicable.
48
(a) Within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of the Offer (the “Response Period”), the Recipient Partner shall reply to the Initiating Partner by giving written notice as to whether such Recipient Partner desires to buy or sell in accordance with the Offer. The decision of the Recipient Partner shall bind all Permitted Transferees of such Recipient Partner. In the event the Recipient Partner elects to purchase the Partnership Interest of the Initiating Partner, the election of the Recipient Partner to do so shall be accompanied by evidence of a cash deposit into the escrow account of counsel to the Recipient Partner in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the purchase price to be paid to the Initiating Partner and the return to the Initiating Partner of the deposit previously submitted pursuant to Section 11.1.
(b) If a responsive notice is not given by a Recipient Partner to an Offer before expiration of the Response Period, then such non-responding Recipient Partner shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Partnership Interest (and the Partnership Interests of its Permitted Transferees) to the Initiating Partner at such price and upon such terms as set forth in the Offer.
Section 11.2 Closing. The closing of a purchase and sale pursuant to this Article 11 shall occur at the end of ninety (90) days after the later of the receipt of notice pursuant to Section 11.1(a) or the expiration of the Response Period. If any Partner fails to timely close, the other Partner shall have the option of either:
(a) canceling the buy-sell contract in which event (A) all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 11.2 shall remain in full force and effect, and (B) the Nondefaulting Partner shall be entitled to retain the deposit made by the Defaulting Partner;
(b) purchasing the entire Partnership Interest of the other Partner in accordance with the terms of the Offer, in the case where the other Partner defaulted on its obligation to buy, or selling to the other Partner in accordance with the terms of the Offer, in the case where the other Partner defaulted on its obligation to sell; or
(c) seeking specific performance of the other Partner’s obligation, without waiver of damages as a result thereof.
In the event the Xxxx XX is the Initiating Partner and CNL Partners (or either of them) purchases all of the Partnership Interest of Xxxx XX as a consequence of the exercise of the rights granted in this Article 11, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Master Leases without the obligation to pay the Master Leases Termination Payment. All funds in the Holdback Escrow shall remain in the Holdback Escrow until such funds have been applied in accordance with the terms thereof or the conditions to the release of such funds have been satisfied in accordance with the terms thereof.
ARTICLE 12-SALE OF PROPERTY
Section 12.1 CNL Partners’ Right to Sell. If, at any time on or after the fifth anniversary date of this Agreement, CNL Partners desire to cause the Subsidiaries to market the Project for sale to third parties, CNL Partners shall give written notice thereof to Xxxx XX (“Sale Notice”) and the provisions of this Article 12 shall govern. The Sale Notice shall set forth CNL
49
Partners’ opinion as to the fair market value of the Project. A decision by CNL Partners to offer the Project for sale or a sale of the Project in accordance with this Article 12 shall not constitute a Major Decision and shall not be subject to the approval of members of the Management Board appointed by Xxxx XX so long as the requirements in this Article 12 have been complied with.
Section 12.2 Crow LP’s Right of First Offer. If CNL Partners and Xxxx XX are unable to agree on the fair market value of the Project within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Sale Notice, the fair market value of the Project shall be determined by appraisal in accordance with procedures set forth in Section 8.6 of this Agreement. Xxxx XX shall have the option to purchase the Project for an amount equal to the fair market value of the Project as so determined. The option must be exercised by Xxxx XX by giving notice of exercise of the option to CNL Partners within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Sale Notice unless the fair market value of the Project is determined by appraisal, in which event, Xxxx XX must give written notice of the exercise of the option to CNL Partners within sixty (60) days after the determination of the fair market value of the Project. If Xxxx XX exercises the option, the closing of the purchase of the Project shall occur on a date selected by Xxxx XX that is no later than ninety (90) days after receipt of the notice of the exercise of the option. All funds in the Holdback Escrow shall be disbursed to Xxxx XX upon the closing.
Section 12.3 Sale of Project. If Xxxx XX does not timely exercise the option to purchase the Project in accordance with Section 12.2, or if Xxxx XX timely exercises the option but thereafter defaults in consummating the purchase of the Project, CNL Partners shall have the right, without the necessity of obtaining any further consent or approval of Xxxx XX, to cause the Subsidiaries to sell the Project to a bona fide third party for a purchase price payable in cash equal to or greater than 95% of the fair market value of the Project (as determined by appraisal in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.6 of this Agreement) and otherwise on such terms and conditions as CNL Partners may approve in their good faith business judgment. In the event a sale of the Project pursuant to this Article 12 is consummated, the Company shall have the right to terminate the Master Lease at the closing of such sale so long as the Company pays to the Master Lessees, the Master Leases Termination Payment.
Section 12.4 Exceptions. CNL Partners may not deliver a Sale Notice if a Partner has previously initiated a Buy/Sell in accordance with Article 11 as long as such Buy/Sell procedure is pending.
Section 12.5 Cash Price. For all purposes of this Article 12, the purchase price of the Project shall be deemed to be payable in cash if the purchase price is payable in part by assuming, or taking title to the Project subject to, all or any of the existing Mortgages and the balance is payable in cash. At the closing, all funds in the Holdback Escrow shall be disbursed to Xxxx XX.

Section 14.9 Arbitration Regarding Certain Matters.
(a) Arbitration. If (i) CNL Partners exercise the right to purchase Crow LP’s interest in the Company pursuant to Section 10.3 above following an Event of Default by Xxxx XX and the CNL Partners assert a claim for damages (a “Damages Claim”) against Xxxx XX as a result of such Event of Default, or (ii) the Management Board is unable to agree on whether Cause exists to remove the General Partner, such matter shall be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, Xxxxx 0, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (or if not applicable, the applicable state law), applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Rules”) and the “Special Rules” set forth below. In the event of any inconsistency, the Special Rules shall control. The filing of a court action is not intended to constitute a waiver of the right of CNL Partners thereafter to require submittal of the Dispute to arbitration.
(b) Special Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas. Such disputes shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator, and the decision of such arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. The arbitrator shall be any person suggested by either of the parties and selected by the mutual agreement of the parties, provided, however, that in the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the selection of an arbitrator within fourteen days after the arbitration has been initiated, as provided in Section 6 of the Rules, then the arbitrator shall be selected by appointment from the National Panel of Arbitrators, as provided in Section 13 of the Rules. A Damages Claim shall be determined by one arbitrator selected as aforesaid; however, if the amount of the Damages Claim exceeds Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), upon the request of any party, the Damages Claim shall be decided by three arbitrators (for purposes of this Agreement, referred to collectively as the “arbitrator”) selected in the same manner as a single arbitrator. All arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration and completed within ninety (90) days from the date of commencement; provided, however, that upon a showing of good cause, the arbitrator shall be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for up to an additional sixty (60) days. The judgment and the award, if any, of the arbitrator shall be issued within thirty (30) days of the close of the hearing. The arbitrator shall provide a concise written statement setting forth the reasons for the judgment and for the award, if any. The arbitration award, if any, may be submitted to any court having jurisdiction to be confirmed and enforced, and such confirmation and enforcement shall not be subject to arbitration. Any dispute concerning this arbitration provision, including any such dispute as to the validity or enforceability of this provision, or whether a Damages Claim or a determination of whether Cause exists is arbitrable, shall be determined by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the power to award legal fees and costs pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Section 14.10 OFAC. Each Partner represents and warrants to the other Partners that the representing Partner is currently in compliance with and shall at all times until the Company has been dissolved and all of its affairs have been wound up, remain in compliance with the regulations of the OFAC of the Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specialty Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.
