RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Co-Tenants previously entered into that certain Tenancy In Common Agreement dated May 29, 2015 (the "Original TIC Agreement") with respect to the acquisition and holding of certain real property located in Xxxxxx County, Georgia as described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference (the "Property");

WHEREAS, the Co-Tenants wish to amend and restate the Original TIC Agreement effective as of May 29, 2015, to reflect the restructured ownership of the Property (i.e., the transfer of the legal title to the Property to CB Owner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CB”) as the holder of such title in its own name), which Property shall be held by CB as an investment for the benefit of the Co-Tenants as set forth in the Trust Agreement (as hereinafter defined);

WHEREAS, the Co-Tenants have entered into that certain Amended and Restated BR/CDP Cheshire Bridge Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) bearing an effective date of May 29, 2015, governing the BR CDP Cheshire Bridge Trust (the “Trust”) and have pursuant thereto named Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx as co-trustees thereunder (collectively, the “Trustee”);

WHEREAS, the Co-Tenants are the sole Beneficiaries under the Trust, the Trust (acting through the Trustee) is the sole member of CB and BR CDP is the sole manager of CB;

WHEREAS, the Co-Tenants have appointed BR CDP as manager to administer their affairs and enforce their rights and obligations under this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Co-Tenants desire to enter into this Agreement to govern their rights and obligations concerning the Property.

AGREEMENT:

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the Co-Tenants hereto, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the Co-Tenants hereby agree (i) that this Agreement amends and restates the Original TIC Agreement and (ii) as follows:

1. Recitals. The above recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this reference.

2. Purposes. The Co-Tenants intend to take and hold the Property for investment purposes only, title to which shall be held by CB for the benefit of the Co-Tenants pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement.

3. Transfer and Assignment. Subject to Section 11A, the Co-Tenants must unanimously approve any sale or exchange of the Property; provided, however each of the Co-Tenants reserve the right to transfer or assign its own interest in the Property subject to the rights of the other Co-Tenants set forth in Section 15 E.

4. Partition. Subject to any restrictions imposed by any Lender as set forth in any Loan Documents, each Co-Tenant shall have the right to partition the Property; provided further, that each Co-Tenant acknowledges a partition may result in a forced sale of the Property and, to seek to avoid the inequity of a forced sale, each Co-Tenant agrees that as a condition precedent to seeking partition that it shall first make a written offer to sell its interest in the Property to the other Co-Tenants at fair market value.

5. Election out of IRC Subchapter K. The Co-Tenants elect pursuant to IRC §761(a) not to be treated as a partnership and to be excluded from Subchapter K of the Code.

6. Appointment of BR CDP to Administer. The Co-Tenants hereby appoint BR CDP to manage and implement the provisions of this Agreement and oversee the development of the Property, who, unless otherwise agreed to by the Beneficiaries in writing, shall serve for a one (1) year term, and at the end of said one (1) year term, if no other replacement manager has been appointed, shall continue to serve as manager until another manager is appointed.

7. Cash Contributions.

A. Initial Cash Contribution. BR CDP, Duke and Commander have made (or are concurrently with the execution of this Agreement making) an initial cash contribution to acquire the Property ("Initial Cash Contribution"), as shown on Exhibit “B”. All cash contributions occurring through the date of the execution (as contrasted with the effective date) of this Agreement shall constitute part of the Initial Cash Contribution (even if made subsequent to the acquisition of the Property and even if made in multiple tranches). BR CDP, as manager, notified Duke and Commander in writing of the timing for the Initial Cash Contribution to be delivered setting forth: (i) the total amount required; and (ii) each Co-Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof. Each Co-Tenant delivered (or is concurrently with the execution of this Agreement delivering) said Co-Tenant’s Pro Rata Share as set forth in BR CDP’s written notice within one (1) day from the date of said notice. The Co-Tenants agree that all pre-development costs, xxxxxxx money deposits, due diligence costs, professional fees and other pursuit costs previously incurred by BR CDP shall be trued up by Duke and Commander contributing their Pro Rata Share thereof.

B. Additional Cash Contributions. If, after expenditure in full of the Initial Cash Contribution, additional cash contributions are required in the reasonable discretion of BR CDP to accomplish the intent of this Agreement beyond those funds contemplated in Exhibit B (each, an “Additional Cash Contribution”), then BR CDP may make a request in writing (a "Cash Call Notice") for said Additional Cash Contribution (a “Cash Call”). Each Cash Call Notice shall set forth: (i) the total amount of the Additional Cash Contribution; (ii) each Co-Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and (iii) the specific proposed use of the funds requested. Each Co-Tenant shall deliver to BR CDP said Co-Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Additional Cash Contribution as set forth in the Cash Call Notice within fourteen (14) days from the date of said notice. The terms “Initial Cash Contribution” and “Additional Cash Contribution” may be hereinafter referred to together as “Cash Contributions” where appropriate.

C. Interest on Cash Contributions. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, no interest shall be paid to any Co-Tenant with respect to any Cash Contributions.

8. Failure to Make Required Cash Contributions.

A. If any Co-Tenant fails to honor an appropriate request to fund its Pro-Rata Share of its Initial Cash Contributions, its Pro Rata Share of the Trust shall be reduced to zero percent (0.00%) and it shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement or in the Property or the Trust. If any Co-Tenant fails to honor an appropriate request to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Additional Cash Contribution requested in any Cash Call Notice in accordance with the terms hereof, such failure shall be a default hereunder and the other Co-Tenants may, in their sole discretion, fund the shortfall and elect to treat these funds as a Default Loan pursuant to Section 8(A)(i) below.

(i) Loan. Any non-defaulting Co-Tenant may advance the Defaulting Co-Tenant’s share of the shortfall described in the preceding paragraph on behalf of the defaulting Co-Tenant (“Defaulting Co-Tenant”) and such funds shall be treated as a loan to the Defaulting Co-Tenant from the advancing Co-Tenant ("Default Loan"), and such Default Loan shall bear interest at a rate equal to ten percent (10%) per annum until repaid. If one or more Co-Tenants (the "Lending Co-Tenants") make a Default Loan to a Defaulting Co-Tenant, then all subsequent cash distributions from the Co-Tenancy that would otherwise be payable to the Defaulting Co-Tenant shall be paid to the Lending Co-Tenants until the Default Loan(s) is paid in full, including all interest due thereon.

9. Reserved.

10. Borrowing Additional Cash Requirements. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove to the contrary, in the event that BR CDP shall determine at any time (except as set forth in Section 7.B., in which event, Section 7.B. shall control) that there exists a need for additional cash beyond the Initial Cash Contribution, BR CDP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to raise such additional cash through a loan from a third party private or institutional lender prior to initiating a Cash Call Notice unless the Co-Tenants shall unanimously direct BR CDP otherwise in writing. The terms of any such loan or loans, including the interest rate, payment terms and security therefore, shall be subject to the prior unanimous approval of the Co-Tenants, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

11. Decisions of the Co-Tenants.

A. Subject to the terms of any other agreement entered into by the Co-Tenants, and/or the Trustee (including the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of CB (the “CB LLC Agreement”), the Trustee shall have the absolute authority and right to manage, develop, operate and sell the Property; provided, however, the unanimous written approval of the Co-Tenants shall be required to approve the following (for avoidance of doubt, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11A and Section 8 or 10 of this Agreement, Section 8 or 10, as applicable, shall control):

(i) Any sale, transfer, lease, deed restriction, or grant of easement of/on any portion of the Property.

(ii) Any loan or other debt secured by the Property or the income therefrom, or upon which any of the Co-Tenants are or may be personally liable.

(iii) Any Cash Call Notice for Additional Cash Contributions.

(iv) All Budgets.

(v) Any matters reserved to the members under the CB LLC Agreement.

(vi) Such other acts or decisions reserved to the Co-Tenants as set forth in the Development Agreement.

B. In no event shall any person dealing with BR CDP be obligated to determine BR CDP’s authority to make any undertaking in connection with the Property, or be obligated to determine any fact or circumstance bearing upon the existence of BR CDP’s authority, or be obligated to see that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with, or be obligated to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of BR CDP. Every contract, agreement, lease or other instrument or document executed by BR CDP with respect to the affairs of the Property shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that such instrument or document was duly executed in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Property and all Co-Tenants hereof, and that BR CDP was duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver any and every such instrument or document for and on behalf of the Property.

12. Distribution of Net Cash from Operations, Sales or Refinancings. Subject to any applicable restrictions in any loan document created with respect to the Property, Net Cash from Operations and Net Cash from Sales or Refinancings shall be distributed to the Co-Tenants, in the following order and priority:

A. First, to repay any Default Loan to the Lending Co-Tenant(s);

B. Second, to repay any loan (excluding a Default Loan made on behalf of a Defaulting Co-Tenant pursuant to Section 8 above) approved by BR CDP and made by any Co-Tenant for the benefit of the Property or in furtherance of the ownership or operation thereof. Payments to the Co-Tenants to repay loans shall be made, pari passu, in proportion to each Co-Tenant’s share of the total of such loans;

C. Third, to the Co-Tenants until they have been repaid in full their Additional Cash Contributions. Payment to the Co-Tenants shall be pari passu, and made pro-rata in accordance with each Co-Tenant’s percentage share of all such Additional Cash Contributions;

D. Fourth, to the Co-Tenants until they have been repaid in full their Initial Cash Contributions. Payment to the Co-Tenants shall be made in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares; and;

E. Fifth, to the Co-Tenants, in proportion to their Pro Rata Shares.

13. Right to Vote. Whenever this Agreement provides that the Co-Tenants shall be entitled to vote upon a matter, each Co-Tenant shall be entitled to vote in proportion to its Pro Rata Share.
