(ii) a creditor, supplier or service provider (including provider of professional services) to the Property Owner, the Company, the Economic Member or any of their respective equityholders or Affiliates (other than a company that routinely provides professional independent managers, directors or members and which also provides lien search and other similar services to the Property Owner, the Company, the Economic Member or any of their respective equityholders or Affiliates in the ordinary course of business);

(iii) a member of the immediate family by blood, marriage or adoption of any such member, partner, equityholder, manager, director, officer, employee, creditor, supplier or service provider; or

(i) Each of the Non-Economic Members agrees to remain independent from the Economic Member and perform its obligations under this Agreement, agrees to be a member of the Company for the limited purposes provided herein and to perform its obligations as a Non-Economic Member hereunder, and the Company and the Economic Members agree that the Non-Economic Members will be members of the Company for such limited purposes. The Company, the Economic Member and the Non-Economic Members agree that the Non-Economic Members: (i) will not make, and will not be obligated to make, a contribution to the Company; (ii) will not own, and will not be obligated to acquire an interest in the Company; and (iii) will have no management, approval, voting, consent or veto rights in the Company, other than to the extent that their

affirmative vote, approval or consent is required for the Company or the Economic Member to perform certain acts or take certain actions as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Non-Economic Members may not bind the Company.

6. Management and Control. The Company shall be managed by the Economic Member, which shall have the right, power, authority and discretion acting alone to conduct the business and affairs of the Company, subject to Section 21, to take any and all actions (including, without limitation, executing, delivering and performing on behalf of the Company (in its individual capacity or as the general partner of the Property Owner) any and all agreements, instruments, certificates or other documents) and do any and all things necessary, desirable, convenient or incidental to carry on the business and purposes of the Company, including, without limitation, in all cases subject to Section 21, (i) to incur debt on behalf of the Company, (ii) to acquire or sell any assets of the Company, (iii) to provide indemnities or guaranties in the name and on behalf of the Company, (iv) to enter into, perform and carry out agreements, instruments, guaranties, indemnities, and contracts of any kind, including, without limitation, contracts with any Person or entity affiliated with the Company, necessary to, in connection with, convenient to or incidental to the accomplishment of the purposes of the Company set forth in Section 2(a), (v) to take any and all actions (including, without limitation, executing, delivering and performing on behalf of the Company (in its individual capacity or as the general partner of the Property Owner) any and all agreements, instruments, certificates or other documents) necessary, desirable, convenient or incidental for the purpose of carrying out or exercising any of the powers of the Company described in Section 2(a) above, (vi) to carry out or exercise any of the rights, powers or authority of the Property Owner under the Partnership Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, and (vii) to take any and all other actions that the Economic Member deems necessary, desirable, convenient or incidental for the furtherance of the objects and purposes of the Company or the Property Owner. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any provision of the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation, if there is more than one economic member, then each such economic member shall have the right, power, authority, and discretion to act alone and to take and exercise any or all of the foregoing rights, powers, authority and discretion in carrying out activities and conducting business in the name, or on behalf, of the Company without any further act, vote or approval of any Person or entity. Any economic member shall have the authority to bind the Company. Any Person or entity dealing with the Company may conclusively presume that an economic member (or any Person to whom such economic member delegates authority) who executes a contract, certificate, agreement, instrument or other document on behalf of the Company has the full power and authority to do so and each such document shall, for all purposes, be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company upon execution and delivery by such economic member (or any Person to whom such economic member delegates authority). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the Loan Agreement, an economic member may, subject to Section 21, take any action on behalf of the Company including, without limitation, the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the

Company or the merger of the Company with or into any Person or the conversion of the Company to another entity, without the vote or approval of any other Member.

8. Officers.

(a) The Economic Member may appoint one or more officers of the Company (each, an “Officer”), including, without limitation, a President, a Chief Executive Officer, a Chief Operating Officer, a Secretary, a Treasurer, one or more Vice Presidents and one or more Assistant Secretaries, and Assistant Vice Presidents. Any two or more offices may be held by the same person. Each such Officer shall have delegated to him or her the authority and power to execute and deliver on behalf of the Company (and to cause the Company to perform) any and all such contracts, certificates, agreements, instruments and other documents, and to take any such action, as the Economic Member deems necessary or appropriate, all as may be set forth in a written delegation of authority executed by the Economic Member. In addition, unless the Economic Member decides otherwise, if the title given to such Officer is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such person of the authorities and duties that are normally associated with that office. The Officers shall serve at the pleasure of the Economic Member, and the Economic Member may remove any person as an Officer and/or appoint additional persons as Officers, as the Economic Member deems necessary or desirable. Any Officer may resign at any time by giving written notice of such resignation to the Economic Member. Unless otherwise specified in such written notice, such resignation shall take effect upon receipt thereof by the Economic Member and the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. Any Person dealing with the Company may conclusively presume that an Officer specified in such a written delegation of authority who executes a contract, certificate, agreement, instrument or other document on behalf of the Company has the full power and authority to do so and each such document shall, for all purposes, be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company upon execution and delivery by such Officer.

(b) The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Economic Member not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of conducting the business and affairs of the Company, and the actions of any Officer taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company and any third party dealing with such Officer shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without making inquiry of any kind) on any actions so taken as being properly authorized by the Company.

9. Bank Account. All funds of the Company shall be deposited in a bank account or accounts opened in the name of the Company. The Economic Member shall determine the institution or institutions at which such accounts will be opened and

maintained, the types of accounts, and the Persons who will have authority with respect to the accounts and the funds maintained therein.

10. Intentionally Omitted.

11. Dissolution. Subject to Section 21 of this Agreement, the Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (a) unless the Loan is still outstanding, the sale or disposition of all of the Company’s assets and receipt of the final payment of any installment obligation received as a result of any such sale or disposition, (b) unless the Loan is still outstanding, the unanimous written consent of the Members (including both Non-Economic Members); provided, however, that, so long as the Loan is outstanding, the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not engage in any dissolution, liquidation, consolidation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of its or the Property Owner’s assets without the written consent of the Lender; (c) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company in the Company unless the Company is continued without dissolution in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act or (d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company or that causes the sole Economic Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon an assignment by the Economic Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to this Agreement), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company or the sole Economic Member in the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of a Member shall not cause such Member to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution. For purposes of this Agreement, “Bankruptcy” means, with respect to any Person, (a) such Person filing a voluntary petition under the federal bankruptcy code (11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et. seq.) (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against such Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited, petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against such

Person; (c) such Person filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) such Person consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or any similar official for such Person or any portion of its assets; or (e) such Person making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due. The foregoing definition of “Bankruptcy” is intended to replace and shall supersede and replace the definition of “Bankruptcy” set forth in Sections 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the Act.

In the event of dissolution, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, as determined by the Economic Member, subject to any requirements of the Act. The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company shall have been distributed to the Economic Member in the manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Certificate of Formation shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Act.

12. Percentage Interests. As of the date hereof, the Members shall have the limited liability company interests set forth on Annex I hereto.

13. Additional Contributions. The Economic Member is not required to make any additional capital contribution to the Company. However, the Economic Member may make additional capital contributions to the Company. Each Non-Economic Member has not and is not required to make capital contributions to the Company.

14. Distributions. Subject to the limitations of Section 21, distributions shall be made to the Economic Member, as the economic member of the Company, at the times and in the aggregate amounts determined by the Economic Member. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to a Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act, any other applicable law or this Agreement.

15. Assignments. The Economic Member may assign, transfer, pledge or grant a security interest in its limited liability company interest in the Company, in whole or in part. Subject to Section 16, if the Economic Member assigns, transfers, pledges or grants a security interest in all of its limited liability company interests in the Company pursuant to this Section 15, (i) the assignee or transferee, (ii) any purchaser(s) of the whole or any part of such interest at foreclosure of any such pledge or security interest, and (iii) any transferee(s) or assignee(s) of the whole or any part of such interest

in lieu of foreclosure, shall be admitted to the Company as a member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the transfer or assignment referred to in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence and, immediately following such admission, the transferor or assignor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to a Member by merger or consolidation in compliance with the Loan Documents shall, without further act, be a Member hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution.

16. Admission of Additional Members. One or more additional members of the Company may be admitted to the Company with the written consent of the Economic Member provided that such new member agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Loan remains outstanding, no additional member may be admitted to the Company pursuant to this Section 16 without the consent of the Lender unless expressly permitted by the Loan Documents and Sections 5(b), 15 or 16 of this Agreement.

17. Indemnification of Indemnified Persons. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in the event that any Member, or any of its direct or indirect partners, directors, managing directors, officers, stockholders, employees, agents, Affiliates or controlling persons, or any Officer of the Company (an “Indemnified Person”) becomes involved, in any capacity, in any threatened, pending or completed action, proceeding or investigation, in connection with any matter arising out of or relating to the Company’s business or affairs, the Company will periodically reimburse such Indemnified Person for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith, provided that such Indemnified Person shall promptly repay to the Company the amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to such Indemnified Person if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation as provided in the exception contained in the next succeeding sentence. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company also will indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Person against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, “Costs”), to which such an Indemnified Person may become subject in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with the Company’s business or affairs, except to the extent that any such Costs result solely from the willful misfeasance, gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Person. If for any reason (other than the willful misfeasance, gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Person) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such Indemnified Person, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of

such Costs in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Indemnified Person on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Company and such Indemnified Person, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under this Section 17 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company and any Indemnified Person. The reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under this Section 17 shall be limited to the Company’s assets, and no Member or Officer shall have any personal liability on account thereof. Any amendment or repeal of this Section 17 shall not adversely affect any right or protection existing hereunder immediately prior to such amendment or repeal. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Person unless and until the Loan is no longer outstanding or unless such indemnification is (i) approved in writing by Lender or (ii) the indemnification is made from funds to which the Company is entitled under the terms of the applicable Loan Document or from capital contributions funded by the Economic Member; it being agreed and understood that such indemnification obligation will not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, constitute a claim against the Company in the event that cash flow in excess of the amount required to make the necessary payments under the Loan Documents is insufficient to pay such indemnification obligation.

18. Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Members and the Officers shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or an Officer of the Company.

19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed under, the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof), all rights and remedies being governed by said laws.

20. Treatment for Tax Purposes. The Members hereby agree to disregard the Company as a separate entity for tax purposes.

21. Separateness. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless and until the Loan is no longer outstanding, or unless otherwise approved in writing by Lender, the single purpose covenants attached hereto as Exhibit A shall govern. In the event of any conflict between the terms of Exhibit A and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of Exhibit A shall govern. In addition, no Member has caused

or permitted, and will not cause or permit, the Company to fail to be in compliance with Exhibit A.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, the Members, the Officers or any other Person, unless and until the Loan is no longer outstanding and except to the extent expressly permitted in the Loan Documents, neither the Members, the Officers nor any other Person shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Company, without the prior unanimous written consent of the Members (including both Non-Economic Members), to take any Material Action (as defined below), provided, however, that the Members may not vote on, or authorize the taking of, any Material Action, unless there are at least two Non-Economic Members of the Company then serving in such capacity. “Material Action” means to consolidate or merge the Company or the Property Owner with or into any Person, or sell all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Property Owner, to cause the Company’s or the Property Owner’s Bankruptcy, or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, dissolve or liquidate the Company or the Property Owner.

22. Notices. All notices provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing, duly signed by the party giving such notice, and shall be delivered, mailed via an overnight courier service or mailed by registered or certified mail, to the applicable party, at the address set forth below its name on the signature pages hereto, or at such other address as such Member hereafter designates by written notice to the Company and each other Member. All such notices shall be deemed to have been given when received.

23. Failure to Pursue Remedies. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the failure of any party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any provision of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original violation.

24. Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.

25. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of all of the parties and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their successors, legal representatives and assigns. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Economic Member agrees that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Economic Member, and is enforceable against the Economic Member by the Non-Economic Members, in accordance with its terms.

26. Interpretation. Throughout this Agreement, nouns, pronouns and verbs shall be construed as masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural, whichever

shall be applicable. All references herein to “Articles,” “Sections” and “Paragraphs” shall refer to corresponding provisions of this Agreement.

27. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted.

28. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument.

29. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings pertaining thereto.

30. Amendment. Except to the extent expressly permitted in the Loan Agreement and unless and until the Loan is no longer outstanding, none of (x) any provision of the Company’s organizational documents relating to qualification as a “Single-Purpose Entity,” (y) Sections 2(a), 2(b), 5, 6, 7, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21 and 25 of this Agreement, this Section 30 and (z) Exhibit A shall be amended or modified without the prior written consent of Lender, except (i) to cure any ambiguity or (ii) to convert or supplement any provision in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement and the Loan Agreement.
