5 |
2.2
Meetings.
2.2.1
Meetings. Meetings of Members will be called by the Manager whenever the Manager deems necessary or when requested in writing to do so by a Majority in Interest. Any such meetings shall be held at the principal place of business of the Company, or at such other location as determined by the Manager, or may be held by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other.
2.2.2
Quorum. Members holding a Majority in Interest, represented in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum at any meeting of Members. In the absence of a quorum at any such meeting, a majority of the Class B Interests so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days without further notice. However, if at the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each Member of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. Members present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal during such meeting of Members whose absence would cause less than a quorum to be present.
2.2.3
Manner of Acting. If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest is the act of the Members, except as expressly provided by this Agreement.
2.2.4
Proxies. At all meetings of Members, a Member may vote in person or by proxy. A Member may appoint a proxy by executing a writing which authorizes another Person or Persons to vote or otherwise act on the Member’s behalf. Such writing must be filed with the Manager before or at the time of the meeting. No appointment of proxy is valid after eleven months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the appointment writing.
2.2.5
Action by Members Without a Meeting. Action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by persons who would be entitled to vote not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by the Members entitled to take such action and delivered to the Company for inclusion in its records. Action taken under this Section 2.2.5 is effective when the Members required to approve such action have signed the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. The record date for determining Members entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the first Member signs a written consent. If action is taken by written consent by less than all the Members entitled to vote on the action, all Members entitled to vote who did not participate in taking the action shall be given notice of the action taken within ten (10) days of the action being taken; provided, however, failure to give such notice shall not invalidate the action so taken.
6 |
2.2.6
Notice. The Manager must provide each Member with at least two (2) days’ notice of a meeting of the Members in accordance with Section 7.2.1. The notice must contain the date, time and place of such meeting. Unless otherwise required by the Delaware Act, the notice need not state the purpose or purposes of the meeting. Information as to how a Member can participate by telephone shall be provided by the Manager promptly upon request.
2.2.7
Waiver of Notice. A Member may waive any notice required by the Delaware Act, the Certificate or this Agreement before or after the date and time of the meeting or event for which notice is required or before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the Member entitled to the notice and be delivered to the Company for inclusion in its records. A Member’s attendance at a meeting waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the Member at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting.
2.2.8
Voting Rights. Except as expressly stated in this Agreement or otherwise required by applicable law, the Class A Interests shall have no voting or consent rights and shall have no right to attend or participate in any meeting of the Members unless otherwise determined by the Manager in its sole discretion.
2.3
Capital Contributions.
2.3.1
Initial Capital Contribution.
(a) Contribution by Contributor Members. Concurrently with its execution of this Agreement, each Contributor Member shall contribute its tenant-in-common interest in the Property to the Company in exchange for the Class A Interests as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

(b) Contribution by REIT Member.

Loans.
2.4.1
Loans to the Company. The Members may lend money to the Company as approved by the Manager. If a Member lends money to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.4.1, the amount of any such loan is not an increase in the Member’s Capital Contribution or Membership Interest, nor does it entitle the Member to any increase in the share of distributions of the Company, nor subject the Member to any greater proportion of the Losses that the Company may sustain. The amount of any such loan shall be a debt due from the Company to the Member, at such rates and on such terms as determined reasonably by the Manager.
2.4.2
Other Loans. If the Manager determines that funds are reasonably necessary for conducting the business of the Company, the Manager is authorized (but not obligated) to borrow the needed funds on the Company’s behalf on commercially reasonable terms existing at the time of the borrowing, and all or any portion of the Company’s assets may be pledged or conveyed as security for the indebtedness.

The Manager.
3.1.1
Management and Authority. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by one or more Managers (each, a “Manager” and collectively the “Managers”). Except with respect to matters where the approval of the Members is expressly required pursuant to this Agreement, or by nonwaivable provisions of applicable law, the Manager has, to the full extent permitted by the Delaware Act, sole, exclusive, full and complete authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, affairs and properties of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters and to perform any and all other acts or activities customary or incident to the management of the Company’s business, including, without limitation, the right and power to appoint individuals to serve as officers of the Company and to delegate authority to such officers. The signature of any one or more officers of the Manager on any document or instrument purporting to bind the Company shall constitute conclusive evidence as to third parties of the authority of such person to execute such document or instrument on behalf of the Company and thereby so bind the Company. The initial officers of the Company are set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto.
8 |
3.1.2
Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The Company shall initially have one (1) Manager, which shall be REIT Member. The number of Managers may be increased or decreased by the REIT Member.

3.1.3
Quorum and Voting of Managers. If there is more than one Manager, meetings of the Managers will be held from time to time at such times and at such places as the Managers determine. Meetings may be held by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Notice of the time and place of the meeting must be given in accordance with Section 7.2.1 at least two days prior to the meeting. Each Manager has one vote. If there is more than one Manager, a majority of the Managers constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Managers, and an affirmative vote of a majority of the Managers is necessary to decide any matter arising in connection with the business and affairs of the Company. If there is only one Manager, no meeting is necessary for the transaction of business and the sole Manager shall take such action as the Manager deems appropriate, subject to the terms of this Agreement and applicable law.
3.1.4
Waiver of Notice. A Manager may waive any notice required by the Delaware Act, the Certificate or this Agreement before or after the date and time of the meeting or event for which notice is required or before or after the date and time stated in the notice. The waiver must be in writing, be signed by the Manager entitled to the notice and be delivered to the Company for inclusion in its records. A Manager’s attendance at a meeting waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the Manager at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting.
3.1.5
Action by Managers Without a Meeting. Action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Managers may be taken without a meeting if the action is taken by Managers who would be entitled to vote not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action. The action must be evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action taken, signed by the Managers entitled to take such action and delivered to the Company for inclusion in its records. Action taken under this Section 3.1.5 is effective when the Managers required to approve such action have signed the consent, unless the consent specifies a different effective date. The record date for determining Managers entitled to take action without a meeting is the date the first Manager signs a written consent.

3.1.6
Duties and Obligations of Manager and Tax Matters Person.
(a)
The Manager must take all actions necessary or appropriate (i) for the continuation of the Company’s valid existence as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and of each other jurisdiction in which such existence is necessary to protect the limited liability of the Members or to enable the Company to conduct the business in which it is engaged and (ii) for the accomplishment of the Company’s purposes.
(b)
The Manager must devote to the Company such time as may be necessary for the proper performance of all of its duties under this Agreement, but the Manager is not required to devote full time to the performance of such duties and may have other business interests or engage in other business activities. Neither the Company nor any Member has any right, by virtue of this Agreement, to share or participate in such other investments or activities of the Manager. The Manager will not incur any liability to the Company or to any Member as a result of engaging in any other business or venture.
(c)
The Tax Matters Person shall have the rights and responsibilities provided under the Code to a “tax matters partner” as defined in Code Section 6231(a)(7). The Tax Matters Person is entitled to reimbursement by the Company for all expenses reasonably incurred by the Tax Matters Person in representing the Company in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the tax treatment of Company items.
3.1.7
Restrictions on Authority of Manager. Without the consent of all of the Members, the Manager has no authority to:
(a)
do any act in contravention of this Agreement;
(b)
possess Company assets, or assign rights in specific Company assets, for other than a Company purpose; or
(c)
knowingly perform any act that would subject any Member to liability for the obligations of the Company in any jurisdiction.
3.1.8
Exculpation; Indemnification.
(a)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member or Manager shall be liable to the Company or to any Member or Manager provided such Member or Manager acts in accordance with its duties and responsibilities hereunder and provided its acts or omissions are taken in good faith and within the scope of authority granted or reserved to such Member or Manager under this Agreement, and do not constitute fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
10 |
(b)
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Member and Manager shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses, damages, liabilities, charges and claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, incurred by such Member or Manager in its capacity as a Member or Manager, arising out of or incidental to any act performed or omitted to be performed by such Member or Manager provided such Member or Manager acts in accordance with its duties and responsibilities hereunder and provided its acts or omissions are taken in good faith and within the scope of authority granted or reserved to such Member or Manager under this Agreement, and do not constitute fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct or a breach of this Agreement.
3.1.9
Resignation. A Manager may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Members. The resignation of a Manager takes effect upon receipt of such notice or at such later time as is specified in such notice, and, unless otherwise specified in such notice, the acceptance of such resignation is not necessary to make it effective. The resignation of a Manager does not affect the Manager’s rights as a Member and does not constitute a withdrawal of a Member.
3.1.10
Vacancies. Any vacancy of the Manager or Tax Matters Person occurring for any reason will be filled by the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest. The Manager or Tax Matters Person elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until such Manager’s or Tax Matters Person’s resignation or removal, or, in the case of a natural person, until such Manager or Tax Matters Person is deceased or has become permanently disabled.
3.2
Appointment of Manager as Attorney-In-Fact.
3.2.1
Manager As Attorneys-in-Fact. Each Member irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Manager as such Member’s true and lawful attorney and agent, with full power and authority in such Member’s name, place and stead, to execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record in the appropriate public offices all certificates or other instruments (including without limitation counterparts of this Agreement) which the Manager deems appropriate to qualify or continue the Company as a limited liability company in the jurisdictions in which the Company conducts business, including amendments to this Agreement necessary to correct scriveners’ errors.
3.2.2
Survival of Appointment. The appointment by all Members of the Manager as attorney-in-fact is deemed to be a power coupled with an interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the Members will be relying upon the Manager to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing and other action by the Manager on behalf of the Company, and such power shall survive the death or incapacity of any Person hereby giving such power and the Transfer by a Member of all or part of a Membership Interest. The foregoing power of attorney of a transferor Member will survive such Transfer only until such time as the transferee shall have been admitted to the Company as a Member and all required documents and instruments have been duly executed, filed and recorded to effect such substitution. Any Person dealing with the Company may conclusively presume and rely upon the fact that any such instrument executed by such agent and attorney-in-fact is authorized, regular and binding without further inquiry.

4.1.3
Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 4.1.2 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members 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 4.1.3. Notwithstanding any other provision of this 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 Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement. In exercising its discretion under this Section 4.1.3, the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 4.1.2(a) and 4.1.2(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 4.1.2(e) and 4.1.2(f).

(b) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 4 and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 4 in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.
(c) Any “excess nonrecourse liability” of the Company, within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), shall be allocated first among the Members in proportion to and to the extent of the amount of built-in gain that is allocable to each Member on Code Section 704(c) property or property for which reverse Code Section 704(c) allocations are applicable where such property is subject to the nonrecourse liability to the extent that such built-in gain exceeds the gain described in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2) with respect to such property. The amount of any excess nonrecourse liabilities not allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be allocated in accordance with the Members’ interests in Company profits. Solely for purposes of this Section 4.1.4(c), the Members’ interests in Company profits shall be 60% to the Class B Holder and 40% to the Class A Holders in proportion to their Membership Interests.

Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.1.5, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as such items are allocated for book purposes under this Article 4. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any Property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for 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 (computed in accordance with the definition of Gross Asset Value) using such allocation method chosen by the Managers to be used pursuant to the Regulations under Section 704(c).
In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Manager in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement, provided that any items of loss or deduction attributable to property contributed by a Member shall, to the extent of an amount equal to the excess of (A) the federal income tax basis of such property at the time of its contribution over (B) the Gross Asset Value of such property at such time, be allocated in its entirety to the such contributing Member and the tax basis of such property for purposes of computing the amounts of all items allocated to any other Member (including a transferee of the Contributing Member) shall be equal to its Gross Asset Value upon its contribution to the Company. Allocations pursuant to this Section 4.1.5 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
