In the event that any Member fails to make any portion of its Capital Contribution called pursuant to Section 4.1.4 above by the Cash Needs Date (such Member is referred to herein as the “Non-Contributing Member”, and the unfunded amount, as the “Unfunded Amount”), the other Member (the “Contributing Member”) may, upon notice to the Non-Contributing Member, elect (as its sole remedies): (a) within five (5) days following the Cash Needs Date, to terminate the Cash Needs Notice and immediately receive back from the Company any such additional Capital Contributions tendered by it; (b) to deliver funds to the Company equal to the Unfunded Amount, which delivery shall be deemed a loan from the Contributing Member (a “Member Loan”) to the Non-Contributing Member that is simultaneously contributed by the Non-Contributing Member to the Company, and which shall bear interest at the Member Loan Rate, and shall be repaid in accordance with the provisions of Article V or (c) make an additional Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the Unfunded Amount (a “Substitute Capital Contribution”). Additionally, at any time prior to the repayment in full of a Member Loan by the applicable Non-Contributing Member, the Contributing Member shall have the additional right, upon five (5) days written notice to the Non-Contributing Member (during which five (5) day period, except as expressly provided below, the Non-Contributing Member may prepay in whole or in part any Member Loan), to elect to convert the outstanding Member Loan, including any interest accrued thereon, into a Substitute Capital Contribution to the Company made by the Contributing Member in an amount equal to the outstanding Member Loan, in which case (i) the portion of the Capital Contribution (deemed made by the Non-Contributing Member as a result of the Member Loan) that corresponds to the outstanding portion of the Member Loan will be deemed null and void, (ii) the Contributing Member will be deemed to contribute the Substitute Capital Contribution to the Company as of the conversion date, and (iii) the Percentage Interest of each Member shall be adjusted as set forth below. In the event that either Member makes a Substitute Capital Contribution or elects to convert a Member Loan into a Substitute Capital Contribution, the Percentage Interest of each Member shall be adjusted to equal the fraction, represented as a percentage, the numerator of which is the sum of (1) the aggregate of such Member’s Capital Contributions made to the Company other than Substitute Capital Contributions, plus (2) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate Substitute Capital Contributions made by such Member (with respect to the current Cash Needs Notice and all previous Cash Needs Notices), minus (3) with respect to all Unfunded Amounts (or applicable portions thereof) that such Member failed to contribute (with respect to the current Cash Needs Notice and all previous Cash Needs Notices) and that were funded by the Contributing Member as Substitute Capital Contributions (including any accrued interest thereon in the case of Member Loans converted into Substitute Capital Contributions), fifty percent (50%) of such Unfunded Amounts; and the denominator of which is the aggregate of all Capital Contributions made by all of the Members, including any Substitute Capital Contributions. For purposes of illustration only, Schedule 4.2 contains hypothetical examples of the application of the dilution formula described above. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary, for so long as the Existing Credit Facility is outstanding and its terms prohibit the making of a Substitute Capital Contribution or the conversion of a Member Loan into a Substitute Capital Contribution (such period, the “Hypo Period”), (i) except during the five (5) day period following the making of a Member Loan (during which period, for avoidance of doubt, the applicable Non-Contributing Member may freely prepay such Member Loan), no Member may prepay any Member Loan without the consent of the other Member, and (ii) no Member shall have the right to make a Substitute Capital Contribution or deliver notice of its intention to convert any Member Loan into a Substitute Capital Contribution; provided, however, that simultaneously with the conclusion of the Hypo Period, each Member shall have the right to convert any outstanding Member Loan into a Substitute Capital Contribution, upon notice to the applicable Non-Contributing Member given on such date, and for the avoidance of doubt such Non-Contributing Member shall not have the right to prepay such Member Loan prior to such conversion.

4.3. Adjustments to Percentage Interests. The Xxxxxxx Member shall amend Schedule 1 upon the Company’s receipt of any Substitute Capital Contributions or actual or deemed Capital Contributions to reflect any changes in Percentage Interests.

- 23 -

4.4. Capital Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain on its books and records a separate capital account for each Member in accordance with the rules of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (a “Capital Account”). Such Capital Account shall be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made by such Member to the Company pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such Member’s allocable share of Net Income and any items in the nature of income and gain that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.3, and (iii) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or which are secured by any property distributed to such Member; and decreased by (x) the amount of cash or Gross Asset Value of all distributions of cash or property made to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, (y) such Member’s allocable share of Net Loss and any items in the nature of loss and deduction that are specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 5.3, and (z) the amount of the liabilities of any Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.

4.5. Transferee of Capital Accounts. A transferee of a Membership Interest shall succeed to a pro rata portion of the Capital Account of the transferor relating to the Membership Interest so transferred.

4.6. Negative Capital Accounts. No Member shall be required to pay to the Company or any other Member any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Member’s Capital Account.

4.7. Interest on Capital Contributions. No interest shall be paid by the Company on any Capital Contributions or on the balances in any Capital Accounts.

4.8. Return of Capital Contributions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as required under the Act or other Applicable Law, no Member shall have the right to (i) withdraw or receive or demand the return of all or any portion of such Member’s Capital Contributions or Capital Accounts or any other distribution from the Company (whether upon resignation, withdrawal or otherwise), or (ii) cause a partition of the Company’s Assets.

4.9. Loans by Members; Additional Capital Contributions. Except as otherwise provided for or contemplated in this Agreement or approved by all of the Members, no Member shall be required to, or permitted to, make any loan or additional Capital Contribution to the Company.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS

5.1. Distributions.

5.1.1 Distributions of Operating Cash Flow. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Members, the Company shall (subject to the terms of the Existing Credit Facility or any replacement thereof) distribute Operating Cash Flow for each calendar month in which there is Operating Cash Flow (such distribution to be made within twenty (20) days after the end of each such calendar month) to the Members as follows:

(a) First, to the Denihan Member, to the extent of the accrued and unpaid Preferred Return; and

- 24 -

(b) Thereafter, to the Members pari passu, in proportion to their then current respective Percentage Interests.

5.1.2 Distributions of Extraordinary Cash Flow. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Members, the Company shall distribute Extraordinary Cash Flow as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company’s receipt thereof (subject to the terms of the Existing Credit Facility or any replacement thereof) to the Members as follows:

(a) First, to the Denihan Member, to the extent of the accrued and unpaid Preferred Return;

(b) Second, to the Xxxxxxx Member, to the extent of its Unreturned Preferred Capital; and

5.1.3 Repayment of Member Loans. Notwithstanding any other term herein to the contrary, for so long as any Member Loan (including interest thereon) remains unpaid by an applicable Non-Contributing Member, all Operating Cash Flow or Extraordinary Cash Flow, as applicable, that would otherwise be distributable to such Non-Contributing Member pursuant to this Article V shall instead be paid directly to the applicable Contributing Member that made such Member Loan. Such distributions shall be applied first to outstanding interest at the Member Loan Rate and then to outstanding principal under the Member Loan. For avoidance of doubt, such distribution shall be deemed for all purposes to be a distribution from the Company to the Non-Contributing Member of the applicable amount and a simultaneous repayment under the Member Loan of such amount from the Non-Contributing Member to the Contributing Member.

5.1.4 Distributions of Non-Cash Property. No distribution of property (other than cash) shall be made, except as unanimously approved by the Members.

5.1.5 Income Tax Distributions. Subject to the terms of the Existing Credit Facility or any replacement thereof, to the extent there is cash available for distribution (excluding investments made with Preferred Capital, and returns of and returns on Preferred Capital), the Company shall make distributions of sufficient portions of its income (“Tax Distributions”) to the Members on a monthly basis so that the PB Member can satisfy the REIT distribution requirements in Code Section 857(a)(1) and can avoid the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4981. Tax Distributions shall be made to the Members, pari passu, in proportion to their then current respective Percentage Interests. Any distribution to a Member pursuant to this Section 5.1.5 that exceeds the amount that would have been distributed to such Member had the amount distributed pursuant to this Section 5.1.5 been distributed pursuant to the preceding subsections of this Article V, shall be treated as an advance distribution under and shall be offset against subsequent distributions that such Member would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to the preceding subsections of this Article V. For the avoidance of doubt, no Tax Distribution shall be made in respect of the Preferred Capital or Preferred Return.

- 25 -

5.1.6 Special Distribution of Preferred Capital and Loans.

(a) Upon the request of the Denihan Member from time to time at any time after the later of (a) the end of the 27th month after the Effective Date or (b) the date on which the Company has refinanced, modified or extended the Existing Credit Facility (other than by means of the Company exercising its unilateral one-year extension right available under the Existing Credit Facility), the Company shall distribute to the Xxxxxxx Member all or any part of the accrued but unpaid Preferred Return and Unreturned Preferred Capital (a “Preferred Distribution”). At such time as the aggregate Preferred Distributions equals the Preferred Return and the Preferred Capital, the Denihan Member shall have no further right to request or receive any amount of Preferred Distribution, and the Xxxxxxx Member’s interest in the Preferred Capital shall immediately cease and be of no further force or effect.

(b) The Xxxxxxx Member may cause the Company from time to time to make one or more loans (each, a “Xxxxxxx Principal Loan”) to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Brooke”), Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) or the other current holders of direct or indirect interests in the Xxxxxxx Member (Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and the other direct or indirect holders of interests in the Xxxxxxx Member are individually referred to herein as a “Xxxxxxx Principal” and collectively as the “Xxxxxxx Principals”). Each Xxxxxxx Principal Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Note”) payable to the Company and executed by the applicable Xxxxxxx Principal receiving the Xxxxxxx Principal Loan, which Note shall provide for, among other things: (i) a term determined by the applicable Xxxxxxx Principal but which shall not exceed thirty-six (36) months (subject to acceleration as described below), (ii) interest to accrue during the term thereof at the Applicable Federal Rate, and (iii) recourse to such Xxxxxxx Principal. Each Xxxxxxx Principal Loan shall be guaranteed by the Denihan Member pursuant to a Guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (each, a “Guaranty”). Further, at any time that a Xxxxxxx Principal Loan is outstanding, the Denihan Member will pledge (x) its Membership Interests in the Company to the Company, and (v) its membership interest in the Operating Lessee to the Operating Lessee, as security for the repayment of any such Xxxxxxx Principal Loan pursuant to a pledge and security agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Pledge Agreement”).

(c) Notwithstanding the scheduled maturity date of any Xxxxxxx Principal Loan, if at any time a Xxxxxxx Principal Loan is outstanding, (x) a Major Capital Event results in Extraordinary Cash Flow in excess of a sum equal to the Unreturned Preferred Capital minus the aggregate amount of the outstanding Xxxxxxx Principal Loans (the “DPL Surplus”), (y) the Xxxxxxx Member requests a Preferred Distribution in excess of the DPL Surplus, or (z) (1) the Company is required to prepay a portion of the Existing Credit Facility in order to accomplish the refinancing, modification or extension thereof, (2) the Xxxxxxx Member’s pro rata share of such prepayment is being treated as a reduction of the Preferred Capital pursuant to the terms hereof, and (3) the amount of such reduction exceeds the DPL Surplus, then in any such case, a portion of the aggregate Xxxxxxx Principal Loans equal to the amount of such excess (but not greater than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Xxxxxxx Principal Loans) shall become due and payable within ten (10) business days after written demand by the PB Member. In the case of subsections (x) and (y), if the Xxxxxxx Principals do not repay such excess prior to the distribution of Extraordinary Cash Flow or the making of the Preferred Distribution, as the case may be, the amount due to the Xxxxxxx Member shall be offset by the amount of such excess as the PB Member’s sole remedy. With respect to subsection (z), no distributions shall be made to the Xxxxxxx Member in respect of the Preferred Capital until such time as such excess is repaid and the PB Member may pursue all remedies set forth in any Note, Pledge or Guaranty if such amount is not repaid within the time period set forth above.

- 26 -

5.2. Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses. Net Income (and items thereof) and Net Losses (and items thereof) for any fiscal period shall be allocated to the Members in such a manner as to reduce or eliminate, to the extent possible, any difference, as of the end of such fiscal period, between (a) the sum of (i) the Capital Account of each Member, (ii) such Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and (iii) such Member’s Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt and (b) the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which would be distributed to them or for which they would be liable to the Company under this Agreement and the Act, determined as if the Company were to (1) sell its assets for an amount equal to their Gross Asset Values and (2) distribute the proceeds of such sale pursuant to Section 11.2.3.

5.3. Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:

5.3.1 Company Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 5.3, except as provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(2) through (5), if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Company taxable period, each Member shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2) or any successor provisions. For purposes of this Section 5.3.1, each Member’s Adjusted Capital Account balance shall be determined, and the allocation of income or gain required hereunder shall be effected, prior to the application of any other allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 with respect to such taxable period.

5.3.2 Chargeback of Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt Except as provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Company taxable period, any Member with a share of Minimum Gain Attributable to Company Nonrecourse Debt at the beginning of such taxable period shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such period (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in the manner and amounts provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) or any successor provisions.

- 27 -

5.3.3 Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), items of Company income and gain shall be specifically allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the deficit balance, if any, in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible, unless such deficit balance is otherwise eliminated pursuant to Section 5.3.1 or Section 5.3.2. It is intended that this Section 5.3.3 qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

5.3.4 Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. If the allocation of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) to a Member as provided in Section 5.2 hereof would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit, there shall be allocated to such Member only that amount of Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) as will not create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account deficit. The Net Loss (or items of loss or deduction) that would, absent the application of the preceding sentence, otherwise be allocated to such Member shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 5.3.4.

5.3.5 Certain Additional Adjustments. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its Membership Interest, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their Membership Interests in the Company in the event that Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

5.3.6 Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If all of the Members determine in their good faith discretion that the Company’s Nonrecourse Deductions must be allocated in a different ratio to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of the Treasury regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, the Members are authorized to revise the prescribed ratio to the numerically closest ratio which does satisfy such requirements.

5.3.7 Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions of the Company for any taxable period shall be allocated one hundred percent (100%) to the Member that bears the Economic Risk of Loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). If more than one Member bears the Economic Risk of Loss with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt, such Member Nonrecourse Deductions attributable thereto shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss.

- 28 -

5.3.8 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 5.3 hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.2, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

5.4. Other Tax Provisions.

5.4.1 Tax Allocations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for federal income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction which is recognized by the Company for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Section 5.2.

5.4.2 Book-Tax Disparities. Tax items with respect to Company Assets that are contributed to the Company with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated between the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Gross Asset Value” herein, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in a manner consistent with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder by utilizing the “remedial allocation method” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d). Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.4.2 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 Net Income, Net Loss and any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

5.4.3 Section 1245 and Section 1250 Recapture. All Section 1245 Recapture and Section 1250 Recapture shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations issued under Section 1245 and Section 1250 of the Code, respectively.

5.4.4 Nonrecourse Liabilities. The Members agree that “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)), shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

5.4.5 Savings Clause. It is the intention of the Members that allocations of Net Income and Net Loss pursuant to Section 5.4.1 shall result in a Capital Account balance for each Member equal to the liquidation proceeds that would be distributed to such Member under Section 11.2.3. To the extent the foregoing allocations do not accomplish this result, the Company and the Members will allocate or reallocate Net Income and Net Loss (including allocations of gross income or gain and gross deductions or losses) differently than expressly provided herein, if permitted under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, so as to achieve such result as closely as possible (including by filing amended income tax returns for prior years).

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law none of the Members shall have any duties or liabilities to the Company or any other Member (including any fiduciary duties), whether or not such duties or liabilities otherwise arise or exist in law or in equity, and each Member hereby expressly waives any such duties or liabilities, provided that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to diminish or reduce the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

7.3. Advance Payment. The right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.2 above shall include the right to be paid or reimbursed by the Company the reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.2 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding (other than a Proceeding among the Members or their Affiliates) in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to the Indemnified Party’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, however, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Indemnified Party of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under Section 7.2 and a written undertaking, by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified under Section 7.2 or otherwise.

The amount to be indemnified shall be charged against the Capital Account of such Member and the Company shall reduce distributions that otherwise would be made to such Member, until the Company has recovered the amount to be indemnified (in which case the amount of such reduction shall be deemed to have been distributed for all purposes of this Agreement, but such deemed distribution shall not further reduce such Member’s Capital Account). The Company may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against such Member under this Section 7.4, including, without limitation, obtaining a judgment for interest on such payment accrued at the maximum interest rate permitted under Applicable Law.

7.5. Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification in this Article VII shall not be exclusive of any other right that the Company, a Member indemnified pursuant to this Article VII may have under Applicable Law.

8.2. Transfers to and Admission of Permitted Transferees.

8.2.1 Requirements. Subject to Section 8.1 and notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Membership Interest or any portion thereof or interest therein to a Permitted Transferee shall be effective unless:

(a) the transferring Member and such Permitted Transferee execute and deliver to the Company such documents and instruments of conveyance as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable to effect such Transfer and to confirm the agreement of the Permitted Transferee to be bound by the terms of this Agreement;

- 36 -

(b) the Permitted Transferee provides to the Company the Permitted Transferee’s taxpayer identification number, sufficient information to determine the Permitted Transferee’s initial tax basis in the Membership Interest acquired in such Transfer and any other information reasonably necessary to permit the Company to file all required federal and state tax returns and other legally required information statements or returns; and

(c) if requested by any Member, the Permitted Transferee shall furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Member, that (i) the Transfer will not cause the Company to terminate for federal income tax purposes under Code Section 708, or to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of such term under Code Section 7704, (ii) the Transfer will not cause the Company to be deemed to be an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and (iii) either the Transfer has been registered under the Securities Act, and any applicable state securities laws or the Transfer is exempt from all applicable registration requirements and will not violate any Applicable Laws.

8.2.2 Admission of Permitted Transferees. Upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 8.2.1 with respect to a Transfer, the Permitted Transferee shall become a Member. The admission of such Permitted Transferee shall be deemed effective on such date that the Permitted Transferee satisfies all requirements in Section 8.2, and the admission of such Permitted Transferee shall not cause the dissolution of the Company.

8.2.3 Effect of Admission of Permitted Transferee on the Transferring Member and Company. No Transfer of all or any portion of any Membership Interest in the Company shall effect a release of the transferring Member from its respective obligations to the Company and the other Members to make Capital Contributions as provided in this Agreement, without an express written release from such liability being delivered to such transferring Member by the Company and the other Members.

8.3. Involuntary Transfers. If a Membership Interest is involuntarily Transferred due to a Member’s Bankruptcy, the transferee shall not be a Permitted Transferee without the unanimous written consent of all of the other Members.

ARTICLE IX

SALE RIGHTS

9.1. Sale of Interest or Assets; Right of First Offer.

9.1.1 Interest Sale; Sale of Company Assets. At any time commencing after the five (5) year anniversary of the Effective Date, (and on no earlier date except as expressly provided for herein as set forth in Section 9.1.5 below with respect to a Portfolio Sale), subject to the Other Member’s (as defined below) rights under Section 9.1.4 below and to Section 9.3 and Section 9.4 below, either Member shall have the right to: (i) sell all, but no less than all, of its Membership Interest in the Company to any Person (an “Interest Sale”); (ii) cause the Company to sell one or more of the Hotels to any Person (or the ownership interests in the Venture Vehicles which own such Hotel or Hotels) (in the event that such Hotels constitute less than substantially all of the Company Assets, such sale is referred to as a “Hotel Sale”), and (iii) cause the Company to sell the entire Portfolio (any such sale is referred to as a “Portfolio Sale”), in each case pursuant to an agreement evidencing such sale (a “Sale Agreement”).

9.1.2 Trigger Notice. If either Member desires to consummate an Interest Sale, Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale (such Member, the “Initiating Member”), then the Initiating Member shall provide the other Member (the “Other Member”) with a written notice (a “Trigger Notice”) of its intent to cause such sale no fewer than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of such Trigger Notice (such one hundred and twenty (120) day period, the “Notice Period”).

9.1.3 Sale Notice. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Notice Period, if the Initiating Member still desires to consummate an Interest Sale, Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale, as applicable, then prior to the execution and delivery by such Initiating Member of a Sale Agreement, the Initiating Member shall provide the Other Member with a written notice (a “Sale Notice”) of its intent with respect to such sale and including the proposed sale price (the “Sale Price”) and other major economic terms. In the case of a Hotel Sale, the Sale Notice shall include a breakdown of the purchase price on an individual Hotel basis. In no event may a Sale Notice provide for the consummation of an Interest Sale, Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale fewer than one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of delivery of the applicable Sale Notice. In the event of a Portfolio Sale, the Sale Notice shall also include a calculation of the amount that would be distributed to the Initiating Member under this Agreement in the event that the Portfolio Sale was consummated for the Sale Price, taking into account all Applicable Deductions (the “Allocated ROFO Price”).

- 38 -

9.1.4 ROFO. With respect to an Interest Sale, Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale, the Sale Notice shall constitute an offer by the Initiating Member (i) in the case of an Interest Sale, to sell its entire Membership Interest to the Other Member for the Sale Price, or (ii) in the case of a Hotel Sale, to cause the Company to sell the Hotels that are the subject of such Hotel Sale or the ownership interest in the Venture Vehicle(s) which owns such Hotel(s) to the Other Member (or its designee) for the aggregate Sale Price of each Hotel, or (iii) in the case of a Portfolio Sale, to cause the Company to sell the entire Portfolio (either by a transfer of all the Hotels or a transfer of all the ownership interests in the Existing Venture Vehicles which own all the Hotels) to the Other Member for the Sale Price; provided, however, with respect to clause (iii) above, in lieu of the Sale Price, the Other Member may elect to purchase the Initiating Member’s Membership Interests in the Company for the Allocated ROFO Price (in each case, the “ROFO Price”). The Other Member shall have sixty (60) days after its receipt of such Sale Notice to provide a written response to the Initiating Member that it has elected either to accept (such response, a “ROFO Acceptance”) or reject the Initiating Member’s offer (and in the case of a Hotel Sale, the Other Member may elect to purchase all or some of the Hotels which are subject to the applicable Sale Notice). No later than one (1) Business Day after delivery of a ROFO Acceptance, the Other Member shall deliver a cash deposit in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the applicable ROFO Price (a “ROFO Deposit”) to a title company mutually acceptable to the Members located in New York, New York (and in the case of a Hotel Sale where the Other Member elects to purchase less than all of the Hotels offered by the Initiating Member pursuant to the Sale Notice, the ROFO Price shall be adjusted accordingly). The failure of the Other Member to deliver the ROFO Deposit within one (1) Business Day shall result in the ROFO Acceptance being deemed ineffective automatically, and without any additional action required by the Initiating Member. The failure of the Other Member to deliver a ROFO Acceptance (and the corresponding ROFO Deposit) within such sixty (60) day period (or sixty-one (61) day period, with respect to a deposit timely delivered after a ROFO Acceptance delivered on the sixtieth (60th) day) shall be deemed an election by the Other Member to reject the offer set forth in the Sale Notice, and the delivery of a ROFO Acceptance with respect to fewer than all of the Hotels offered by the Initiating Member pursuant to a Sale Notice issued in connection with a Hotel Sale shall be deemed an election by the Other Member to reject the offer set forth in the Sale Notice with respect to the Hotels that are not included in the ROFO Acceptance. If any Interest Sale, Hotel Sale (in whole or in part) or Portfolio Sale is rejected (or deemed rejected), the Initiating Member shall have the right to proceed with the Interest Sale, Hotel Sale (to the extent of any rejected Hotels) or Portfolio Sale, as applicable, for a sale price no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Sale Price and otherwise on terms not substantially less favorable than those set forth in the Sale Notice (collectively, the “Minimum Terms”). If (i) the Initiating Member does not consummate such Interest Sale, Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale (as applicable) within nine (9) months from the date of the Sale Notice, or (ii) the Initiating Member intends to consummate such sale for less than the Minimum Terms, the Other Member’s rights under this Section 9.1.4 shall be reinstated and the Initiating Member shall be required to deliver a revised Sale Notice prior to the consummation of such sale.

9.1.5 Portfolio Sales. As set forth above, an Initiating Member may not deliver an effective Trigger Notice at any time prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but solely with respect to a Portfolio Sale (as opposed to an Interest Sale or Hotel Sale), (i) either Member may deliver a Sale Notice (without the need for a prior Trigger Notice) during such time as the Other Member has committed an Event of Default, and such Event of Default remains uncured, and (ii) the Xxxxxxx Member may deliver a Sale Notice (without the need for a prior Trigger Notice) in the event of the termination of any Hotel Management Agreement with respect to any of the Hotels other than a termination for “cause” (as defined therein).

- 39 -

9.2. Closing of Transactions.

9.2.1 Closing. In the event that the Initiating Member elects to consummate a Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale (and the Other Member has elected not to exercise, or has otherwise waived, its right of first offer pursuant to Section 9.1.4 above), then the Other Member shall, on or before the date that is ten (10) days prior to the scheduled closing date under any Sale Agreement, provide the Initiating Member with such documents and instruments as are reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of such Sale Agreement (the “Transfer Documents”). If the Other Member fails to deliver the Transfer Documents sufficiently in advance of the applicable scheduled closing date to allow for the timely consummation of the Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale (as the case may be), the Initiating Member shall have the right to proceed to consummate the sale pursuant to such Sale Agreement without the Other Member’s participation. In connection therewith, the Initiating Member is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, which shall be binding on the Other Member as to all third parties, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Other Member all such Transfer Documents. Any net proceeds received by the Members in connection with a closing under this Section 9.2.1 shall be shared between them in accordance with the provisions of Article V as Extraordinary Cash Flow distributable thereunder.

9.2.2 Closing of ROFO. In the event that the Other Member elects to deliver a ROFO Acceptance pursuant to Section 9.1.4 above, the closing of the purchase and sale contemplated thereby shall occur on a mutually acceptable date, not more than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the delivery of the ROFO Acceptance, through a “New York style” closing with the title company holding the ROFO Deposit. The ROFO Deposit shall be credited at closing against the total purchase price; provided, however, if the closing fails to occur because of a default by the Other Member, the Initiating Member shall have all rights and remedies available under this Agreement and Applicable Law (with no such right or remedy deemed to be exclusive of any other right or remedy), including, without limitation, the following: (i) to retain the ROFO Deposit as liquidated damages, it being agreed that in such instance such selling party’s actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and (ii) to cause the Interest Sale, Hotel Sale or Portfolio Sale to any unrelated third part(ies) on terms and conditions acceptable to the Initiating Member in its sole and absolute discretion.

9.3. Standstill. Notwithstanding the above, neither Member may issue a Sale Notice at such time as any Trigger Notice or Sale Notice is outstanding and the time periods set forth above have not expired. If at the time a ROFO Acceptance is delivered, the Initiating Member or any of its Affiliates are personally liable under any guarantees or other financial undertakings for the repayment of all or part of any third-party loan made to the Company or any Venture Vehicle (including without limitation, the Existing Credit Facility) (the “Initiating Member’s Recourse Liability”) then the Sale Notice must include the Other Member’s written agreement to use best efforts to obtain the release of the Initiating Member’s Recourse Liability and, if required by the holders of the Initiating Member’s Recourse Liability, to substitute acceptable guarantors, letters of credit or other financial undertakings, in exchange for such release of the Initiating Member’s Recourse Liability. If any lender will not agree to release the Initiating Member’s Recourse Liability then the Other Member shall protect, indemnify and defend and hold the Initiating Member, its Affiliates, principals, agents, employees and officers harmless from any manner of loss, claim, damage or expense arising out of or related to the Initiating Member’s Recourse Liability from and after the Closing contemplated by Section 9.2.2.

- 40 -

9.4. Operating Lessee Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, any Trigger Notice, Sale Notice, ROFO Acceptance, rejection of a Sale Notice, calculation of the ROFO Price, delivery of the ROFO Deposit or similar notice, action, election or remedy undertaken in connection with this Article IX must be delivered, undertaken or calculated in coordination and conjunction with the identical notice, action, election or remedy undertaken by the Member (or its Affiliate in the case of the PB Member) pursuant to Article IX of the Operating Lessee Agreement, except to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation or credit facility; it being understood that Article IX of this Agreement and Article IX of the Operating Lessee Agreement are intended to work simultaneously, in conjunction and in coordination with each other in all respects and each Member (or its Affiliate in the case of the PB Member) must give or undertake identical notices, actions, elections or remedies under this Agreement and the Operating Lessee Agreement (including the timing thereof) except to the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation or credit facility, and if inconsistent notices, actions, elections are remedies are given, any notice, action, election or remedy undertaken by a Member pursuant to this Article IX shall be deemed to be void and of no force and effect.

If the respective Membership Interests of the existing Members in the Company change or if a Membership Interest is Transferred in compliance with this Agreement to any other Person, then, for the Fiscal Year in which the Transfer occurs, all income, gains, losses, deductions, Tax Credits and other tax incidents resulting from the operations of the Company shall be allocated, as between transferor and transferee, by taking into account their varying interests using the closing of the books method in accordance with Section 706 of the Code, unless otherwise agreed by the Members.

10.11. REIT Compliance. The Company shall not take or fail to take any action (or cause any Venture Vehicle to take or fail to take any action) that would adversely affect the ability of PB REIT to qualify or continue to qualify as a REIT, or subject PB REIT to any additional taxes under Section 857 of the Code or Section 4981 of the Code (collectively the “REIT Regulations”). If the Company or any Venture Vehicle is required to take or fail to take any action that would adversely affect the ability of PB REIT to qualify as a REIT or would subject PB REIT to any additional taxes under the REIT Regulations, the Members, upon receipt of notice thereof, will take all actions necessary, or cause the Company and each Venture Vehicle to take such actions, to avoid such adverse consequences but at no or nominal cost to the Xxxxxxx Member. The Members agree that in the event that PB Member or PB REIT shall propose to take any action (or cause the Company or any Venture Vehicle to take any action) to ensure the continued qualification of PB REIT as a REIT or to avoid the imposition of additional taxes under the REIT Regulations, the Members shall cooperate in good faith but at no or nominal cost to Xxxxxxx Member to determine and implement a course of action which shall, to the extent reasonably possible, preserve PB REIT’s REIT status, avoid the imposition of additional taxes, and avoid such adverse effects. If any revisions, modifications, amendments, alterations, supplements or restructurings are required to be made to this Agreement, the Operating Lessee Agreement, any Hotel Operating Lease, any related agreement or the Company’s, the Operating Lessee’s or any Hotel Lessee’s ownership structure generally in order to preserve PB REIT’s status or otherwise avoid the imposition of additional taxes under any applicable REIT Regulations or other adverse consequences, the PB Member shall bear the entire out-of-pocket cost thereof (without the same constituting a Capital Contribution by the PB Member).

10.12. Cost of Compliance. The Members acknowledge that either KPMG or PKF may be engaged by the Company as the Company’s independent auditors and/or tax preparation firm. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if KPMG is retained for either such service, the PB Member shall bear directly (without the same constituting a Capital Contribution hereunder), and the Company shall not be responsible for, the “Incremental Costs” incurred by the Company for utilizing KPMG to provide any such service rather than PKF. For such purpose, the “Incremental Costs” shall be determined as follows unless otherwise agreed by the Members: For each Fiscal Year, the Company shall solicit estimates from each of KPMG and PKF for each of the auditing and tax preparation services (as if provided separately). If the KPMG estimate for a particular service exceeds the PKF estimate for a particular service, and KPMG is selected for such service, the “Incremental Cost” shall equal the actual cost of such service multiplied by the percentage by which the KPMG estimate exceeded the PKF estimate. For example, if the PKF estimate for audit work is $1.0 million and the KPMG estimate for the same work is $1.25 million, and KPMG is selected, the “Incremental Cost” shall be 20% of the actual cost for KPMG’s audit work for that year.

11.1. Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up on the first to occur of the following:

11.1.1 the sale, contribution, exchange, conveyance or other transfer of all, or substantially all, of the Company Assets; or

11.1.2 the agreement of the Xxxxxxx Member and the PB Member.

The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, incapacity, Bankruptcy or dissolution of a Member, or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of a Member in the Company, shall not cause a dissolution of the Company, and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Members hereby waive any right to dissolution of the Company except as contemplated by this Section 11.1.

11.2. Liquidation.

11.2.1 Appointment of Liquidator. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Members shall designate a Person (which may be a Member) to act as liquidator. The liquidator shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided in this Agreement and pursuant to the Act. The costs and expenses of liquidation shall be the costs and expenses of the Company. From the date of dissolution until the final distribution, the liquidator shall operate the Company with all requisite power and authority, subject to the power of the Members to remove and replace such liquidator.

11.2.2 Duties and Obligations of Liquidator. The matters to be accomplished by the liquidator are as follows:

(a) As promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidator shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed (as applicable).

(b) The liquidator shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company (including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge of the same, including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidator may reasonably determine or as other required under the Act.

- 46 -

(c) The liquidator may sell any saleable assets of the Company in connection with such liquidation at a public or private sale and at such price and on such terms as the liquidator, in its sole discretion, deems necessary, appropriate or advisable. Any Member or its Affiliate may purchase any of the Company’s Assets at such sale; provided, however, that no Member or its Affiliate may make any such purchase at a private sale, without the prior written consent of the other Members.

(d) The liquidator shall distribute all remaining Company Assets to the Members in accordance with Section 11.2.3 by the earlier of (i) the end of the taxable year of the Company during which the liquidation of the Company occurs, and (ii) ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation.

11.2.3 Liquidating Distributions. Any distributions made in liquidation shall be applied and distributed as follows:

(a) To the repayment of the debts and liabilities of the Company (including debts owed to Members or their Affiliates) and payment of the costs and expenses of such liquidation;

(b) To the funding of any reserves pursuant to Section 11.2.2; and

(c) The balance of any proceeds from such liquidation shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 5.1.2.

The liquidator shall cause only cash, evidences of indebtedness and other securities to be distributed in any liquidation. The distribution of cash and other property to a Member in accordance with this Section 11.2 shall constitute a complete return to such Member of its Capital Contribution and a complete distribution to the Member of its Membership Interest in the Company and all the Company’s property. To the extent that a Member returns funds to the Company, such Member shall have no claim against any other Member for such funds.

11.3. Termination. Upon completion of the distribution of Company Assets as provided in this Article XI, the Company shall be terminated, and the liquidator shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, make or cancel any other filings made pursuant to the Act or the Applicable Law and take such other actions as may be necessary, appropriate or advisable to terminate the Company.

ARTICLE XII

DEFAULTS

12.1. Defaults.

12.1.1 If either the PB Member (or its Affiliate which is a member of the Operating Lessee, as the case may be), on the one hand, or the Xxxxxxx Member, on the other hand, fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder or under the Operating Lessee Agreement or breaches any of the terms, conditions, representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or the Operating Lessee Agreement, as applicable, or becomes subject to a Bankruptcy proceeding, then the other Member (the “Non-Defaulting Member”) shall have the right to give such Member (the “Defaulting Member”) a notice of default (“Notice of Default”).

- 47 -

12.1.2 The Notice of Default shall set forth the nature of the obligation that the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, as applicable) has not performed. If such default arises out of the application of Article VIII or is the result of a Bankruptcy, fraud or willful misconduct or is otherwise stated to be not subject to notice or cure, the Non-Defaulting Member shall immediately have the rights set forth in Section 12.2 below, without the obligation to provide any notice or cure periods. Otherwise, (i) if such default is curable by the payment of money, the Defaulting Member shall have ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of the Notice of Default within which to cure such default, or (ii) if such default is not curable by the payment of money, then the Defaulting Member shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Notice of Default to cure such default, provided that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period but is reasonably capable of cure, then, so long as the Defaulting Member is continuously and diligently pursuing the remedy necessary to cure such default, the Defaulting Member shall have such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default, but in no event longer than forty-five (45) additional days.

12.2. Remedies. Generally, if any default is not cured (to the extent permitted) as set forth in Section 12.1.2 (each, an “Event of Default”) the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right to pursue all rights and remedies, legal and equitable, available to it pursuant to this Agreement and Applicable Law. Except as expressly limited herein, all rights and remedies hereunder in the case of a default shall be cumulative.

ARTICLE XIII

13.4. Effect of Waiver or Consent. A failure on the part of the Company or any Member to complain of any act of any other Person or to declare any Person in default under this Agreement, irrespective of how long such failure continues or how often such failure occurs, shall not constitute a consent to such act by the Company or Member or a waiver by the Company or Member of its rights and remedies with respect to such default unless such waiver is set forth in writing signed by the Company or Member (as the case may be) or until the applicable statute-of-limitations period with respect to such default has expired. Any written consent to or waiver of any breach or default in the performance by a Person of its duties, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement shall not be a consent to or waiver of any other breach or default in the performance by such Person of the same or any other duty, liability or obligation of such Person under this Agreement.

13.5. WAIVER OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH MEMBER (FOR ITSELF AND ITS LEGAL REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS) HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES AND DISCLAIMS ALL RIGHTS TO CLAIM OR SEEK (WHETHER ON BEHALF OF IT OR THE COMPANY) ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, STATUTORY OR TREBLE DAMAGES.

13.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law of conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

13.7. Litigation.

(a) FORUM SELECTION AND CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EACH MEMBER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE. EACH MEMBER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, OR BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

- 50 -

(b) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE MEMBERS HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT DELIVERED OR WHICH MAY IN THE FUTURE BE DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING FROM THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY ANY OF THE FOREGOING, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.

The prevailing party shall be determined by the court based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments made or positions taken in the proceedings could fairly be said to have prevailed over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues in the court’s decision. If the party which shall have commenced or instituted the action, suit or proceeding shall dismiss or discontinue it without the concurrence of the other party, such other party shall be deemed the prevailing party.

13.9. Partial Invalidity. In the event that any one or more of the phrases, sentences, sections, articles or sections contained in this Agreement shall be declared invalid or unenforceable by order, decree or judgment of under the applicable arbitration, or shall be or become invalid or unenforceable by virtue of any Applicable Law, the remainder of this Agreement shall be construed as if such phrases, sentences, sections, articles or sections had not been inserted except when such construction (i) shall operate as an undue hardship on either Member or (ii) shall constitute a substantial deviation from the general intent and purposes of the Members as reflected in this Agreement. In the event of either (i) or (ii) above, the Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate a mutually satisfactory amendment to this Agreement to circumvent such adverse construction.
