Company liabilities were satisfied in cash according to their
terms (limited, with respect to each nonrecourse liability, to
the respective Adjusted Book Values of the assets securing
such liability), and (z) the net proceeds thereof (after
satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full
pursuant to Section 4.1.2, over
(ii) the sum of (x) the amount, if any, without duplication, that
such Member would be obligated to contribute to the capital of
the Company pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, (y)
such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain determined
pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-2(g), and (z) such
Member's share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain

(A) for any Member whose Capital Account balance needs to be
reduced pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the allocation
required by Section 4.2 shall be comprised of a proportionate
share (based upon the relative amounts their Capital Accounts
need to be reduced) of each of the Company's items of expense
or loss entering into the computation of Profits for such
taxable year to the extent necessary to eliminate to the
maximum extent possible for the taxable year in question, the
differential between their respective Partially Adjusted
Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts; and

each Member (other than a Member referred to in Section
4.2(b)(i)(A) hereof) shall be comprised of a proportionate
share (based upon the relative amounts their Capital Accounts
need to be adjusted) of each Company item of income, gain,
expense and loss entering into the computation of Profits for
such taxable year (other than the portion of each Company item
of expense and loss, if any, that is allocated pursuant to
Section 4.2(b)(i)(A) hereof).
(ii) In the event the Company has Losses for a taxable year,
(A) for any Member whose Capital Account balance needs to be
increased pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, the allocation
required by Section 4.2 shall be comprised of a proportionate
share (based upon the relative amounts their Capital Accounts
need to be increased) of each of the Company's items of income
and gain entering into the computation of Losses for such
taxable year to the extent necessary to eliminate to the
maximum extent possible for the taxable year in question, the
differential between their respective Partially Adjusted
Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts; and
(B) the allocation pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof in respect of
each Member (other than a Member referred to in Section
4.2(b)(ii)(A) hereof) shall be comprised of a proportionate
share (based upon the relative amounts their Capital Accounts
need to be adjusted) of each Company item of income, gain,
expense and loss entering into the computation of Losses for
such taxable year (other than the portion of each Company item
of income and gain, if any, that is allocated pursuant to
Section 4.2(b)(ii)(A) hereof).
(iii) To the maximum extent possible in each taxable year, the
items of taxable income and gain that are required to be
specially allocated among any Members who need to be
allocated items of Profit under Section 4.2(b) shall be
allocated among them in the same proportion as the total
of all Profit items that need to be allocated among them
under Section 4.2(b). Correspondingly, to the maximum
extent possible in each taxable year, the items of
tax-deductible items of expense and loss that are required
to be specially allocated among all Members who need to be

income, gain, loss, deduction, and any other allocations not otherwise provided
for shall be allocated among the Members for federal, state and local income tax
purposes consistent with the manner that the corresponding constituent items of
Profits and Losses shall be allocated among the Members pursuant to this
Agreement, except as may otherwise be provided herein or by the Code. To the
extent the Regulations promulgated pursuant to Subchapter K of Code (including
under Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code) require allocations for tax purposes
that differ from the foregoing allocations, the Managing Member shall determine
the manner in which such tax allocations shall be made so as to comply more
fully with such Regulations. Allocations required under Section 704(c) (relating
to items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to contributed
property), or under Section 704(c) principles applicable under Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (relating to Company property that has been revalued
for Capital Account purposes) are solely for purposes for federal, state and
local taxes, and shall not be taken into account in computing any Member's
Capital Account or share of Profit or Loss or other items or distributions under
any provisions of this Agreement.

Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year of the Company, such Member shall
be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 4.3.3 shall be made only if and to the
extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess
of such amount after all other allocations provided for in Section 4.2 and this
Section 4.3 have been tentatively made as if the provision for the qualified
income offset in Section 4.3.1 and this Section 4.3.3 were not in the Agreement.
4.3.4 Loss Limitation. No Member shall be allocated Losses or deductions if the
allocation would cause the Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit or
would increase the Member's Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Any allocation of
Loss or deduction that cannot be made to a Member by reason of this Section
4.3.5 shall be made to such Members that have positive Capital Account balances
in accordance with their relative balances subject to the limitation set forth
in the preceding sentence. If any Members are allocated an amount of Loss or
deduction by reason of the previous sentence, subsequent items of income or gain
in of an equal amount shall be allocated to such Members as soon as possible to
reverse such prior allocation of Loss.
4.4 Liquidation and Dissolution.
4.4.1 If the Company is liquidated, in the year of such liquidation the assets

into segments, if there is a Transfer or an Involuntary Withdrawal during the
taxable year, the Profit and Loss for such taxable year shall be allocated
between the original Member and the successor generally on the basis of the
number of days each was a Member during the taxable year; provided, however, the
Company's taxable year shall be segregated into two or more segments in order to
account for Profit, Loss or proceeds attributable to any Sales on other
extraordinary, non-recurring items of the Company.
4.5.3 The Members are hereby authorized, upon the advice of the Company's tax
counsel, to amend this Article IV to the extent required to comply with the Code
and the Regulations promulgated under Code Sections 514(c)(9)(E) and 704(b);
provided, however, that no amendment shall either (i) materially affect
distributions to a Member without such Member's Approval or (ii) cause this
Agreement to not comply with Code Section 514(c)(9)(E) and the Regulations
promulgated thereunder.
4.6 Clawback. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article IV, (a) if,
as a result of a mistake, any Member has received more money under Section 4.1
than the amount to which it was entitled, the recipient shall return the excess
amounts distributed to it within 5 business days after written notice from the
Managing Member (or any Non-Managing Member if the Managing Member fails to do
so) requesting such return and (b) if for any reason after Managing Member has
received money under Section 4.1.1(b) it is determined that any Non-Managing
Member has not received any amount to which it is entitled under a higher
distribution priority in Section 4.1.1(a) (whether on account of a subsequent
contribution of Capital by any Non-Managing Member, the making of a Contribution
Loan or otherwise), then until such Non-Managing Member receives such amount
there shall be distributed to such Non-Managing Member all sums otherwise
distributable to Managing Member under Section 4.1, but such sums shall in no
event exceed the sums previously distributed to Managing Member pursuant to
Section 4.1.1(b) and Managing Member agrees (A) to relinquish and waive any
right it may have under Section 4.1.1(b) to receive such sums and (B) that the
distribution of such sums to such Non-Managing Member shall, for purposes of
determining whether Managing Member has received the sums it is entitled to
receive under Section 4.1.1(b), be deemed to have satisfied such entitlement. If
necessary, the Managing Member shall have the authority to treat such payments
to any Non-Managing Member as guaranteed payments and to specially allocate the
deduction to Managing Member to reduce any excess Capital Account of Managing
Member if permitted under Code Section 514(c)(9)(E) and the Regulations
thereunder.
ARTICLE V
Management: Rights, Powers, and Duties
5.1 Management. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the management
and control of the Company shall be vested in the Managing Member. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, the Managing Member shall have sole and
exclusive continuing authority to manage the Company, and shall have all of the
rights, powers and authority conferred upon a manager or a managing member under
the Act to carry out any and all objects of the Company and to perform all acts
and enter into and perform all contracts and undertakings which, in its sole
discretion, it deems necessary, advisable or incidental thereto. No Member shall
have authority to bind the Company through its action or inaction in connection
with any matter except for the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Managing Member shall cause the Company, as the sole member of the Property
Owner, to cause the Property Owner to distribute all Cash Flow of the Property
Owner to the Company no less frequently than annually, subject to any
restrictions or limitations imposed on the Property Owner pursuant to the terms
of the Mortgage Loan.
(a) All Member Approval. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Agreement, including Section 5.1, the Company and/or the Managing Member
may not, without the reasonable approval of Other Member, sell the Property or
refinance the Mortgage Loan.
5.1.1 Affiliate Contracts Approval. The Property Owner, the Company and/or the
Managing Member may not, without the Approval of Other Member, enter into any
agreements relating to the Property with any Affiliate of any Member (an
"Affiliate Contract").
5.2 Personal Service. No Member shall be required to perform services for
the Company solely by virtue of being a Member.
5.3 Duties of Parties.
5.3.1 The Members shall devote such time to the business and affairs of the
Company as is necessary to carry out the Members' duties set forth in this
Agreement.
5.3.2 Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any way the
rights of any Member, or of any Affiliate of any Member, to conduct any other
business or activity whatsoever, and no Member shall be accountable to the
Company or to any other Member with respect to that business or activity even if
the business or activity competes with the Company's business. The organization
of the Company shall be without prejudice to the Members' respective rights (or
the rights of their respective Affiliates) to maintain, expand, or diversify
such other interests and activities and to receive and enjoy profits or
compensation therefrom. Each Member waives any rights the Member might otherwise
have to share or participate in such other interests or activities of any other
Member or the Member's Affiliates.
5.3.3 Managing Member agrees that it will cause the Company, as the sole member
of the Property Owner, to use its best efforts to operate the Property so that,
the rental income derived from each ease with respect to the Property will
qualify as "rents from real property" as that term is defined in the Internal
Revenue Code Section 856(d)(1).
5.4 Liability and Indemnification.
5.4.1 Except as specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement to the
contrary, or as otherwise required by law, no Member nor any of its officers,
directors, advisors or agents (each of whom is an "Indemnitee") shall be liable,
responsible or accountable in damages or otherwise to any of the other Members
or the Company for any act performed by Indemnitee within the scope of the
authority conferred upon him or it by this Agreement, or for any failure or
refusal by Indemnitee to perform any act, unless such act or failure or refusal
to act constitutes willful misconduct, gross negligence, or breach of fiduciary
duty in the performance of Indemnitee's obligations to the Company or the
Members. The doing of any act or the failure to do any act by any Indemnitee,
the effect of which may cause or result in loss or damage to the Company or the
other Members, shall not subject Indemnitee to any liability under this
Agreement if done or omitted pursuant to a favorable opinion of law issued by
counsel of recognized standing engaged by the Company and experienced in the
matters at issue.
5.4.2 To the full extent permitted by the Act, the Company shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any direct claim,
action, suit or proceeding brought or threatened against such Indemnitee, and
from and against any direct loss or damage incurred by such Indemnitee
("Damages") by reason of any act performed, or failure or refusal to act, by him
or it for and on behalf of the Company within the scope of his or its authority
under this Agreement, provided that such Indemnitee acted, or failed or refused
to act, in good faith and reasonably believed that such act or inaction was in
the best interests of the Company, and, in the case of a criminal proceeding,
provided that such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe its conduct was
unlawful, and provided further that in each case the act or failure or refusal
to act did not constitute willful misconduct, gross negligence, or breach of
fiduciary duty. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, conclusively establish that the Person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which he or it reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his or its
conduct was unlawful. Expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys'
fees and direct expenses) incurred by an Indemnitee in defending any civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid
by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or
proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking (Approved by the Members) by or on
behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be
determined that it is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as
authorized in this section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 5.4.2, at any time prior to the indefeasible repayment in full of the
Mezzanine Loan, the Company's indemnification obligation under this Section 5.4
shall (a) be fully subordinated to the Loan and (b) not constitute a claim
against the Company or its assets until such time as the Loan has been
indefeasibly paid in accordance with its terms and otherwise has been fully
discharged, unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in writing.
5.5 Fees and Expenses. Neither the Members nor any of their Affiliates or the
respective principals or employees of either of them shall be entitled to any
reimbursement for any costs and expenses or paid any salary or other
compensation incurred in furtherance of the business of the Company, except as
expressly approved by all Members; provided, however, that the Managing Member
shall be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
it in the performance of its duties as Managing Member hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, in any Affiliate
Contract or in any other agreement, in no event shall the Company reimburse the
Members for any overhead costs.
ARTICLE VI
Transfer of Interests, Withdrawal of Members
6.1 Transfers.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 6.1(b) below, no Member and no direct or
indirect owner of such Member, may directly or indirectly, voluntarily Transfer
all, or any portion of, or any interest or rights in, the Membership Interest
owned by such Member without the Approval of the other Members, which Approval
may be withheld in such Member's sole and absolute discretion. Each Member
hereby acknowledges the reasonableness of this prohibition in view of the
purposes of the Company and the relationship of the Members. The voluntary
Transfer, directly or indirectly, of any Membership Interests or interest in a
Member in violation of the prohibition contained in this Section 6.1 shall be
deemed invalid, null and void, and of no force or effect. Any Person to whom
Membership Interests or interests in a Member are attempted to be transferred in
violation of this Section 6.1 shall not be entitled to vote on matters coming
before the Members, participate in the management of the Company, act as an
agent of the Company, receive distributions from the Company, or have any other
rights in or with respect to the Membership Interests.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each Member may Transfer its
Membership Interest and/or any and all of its rights under this Agreement to an
Affiliate; provided, however, that Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx shall at all times retain
control of the Managing Member.
(c) If the transferring Member is a corporation whose shares are not traded on a
recognized stock exchange, the provisions of this Section 6.1 shall apply to (x)
a Transfer (by one or more Transfers) of a majority of the stock of such Member,
or (y) the creation of new stock (by one or more transactions) resulting in the
vesting of a majority of the stock of such Member in a party or parties who are
nonstockholders as of the date immediately prior to such transaction, as if such
Transfer or vesting of a majority of the stock of such Member were a Transfer of
such Member's Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Section
6.1.
(d) If the transferring Member is a partnership or a limited liability company,
the provisions of this Section 6.1 shall apply to a Transfer (by one or more
direct or indirect Transfers) of a majority interest in the partnership or
limited liability company, as if such Transfer were a Transfer of such Member's
Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Section 6.1.
(e) If the proposed transferor (whether a Member or a constituent member,
partner or shareholder of a Member) is a natural Person, Transfers shall be
permitted (i) to a trust for the benefit of any immediate family member (father,
mother, sister, brother, son, daughter, spouse, niece, nephew, grandson and/or
granddaughter) with respect to the proposed Transfer, but only if the proposed
transferor retains management authority and control of the interest so
transferred or (ii) by succession or testamentary disposition upon death to any
such immediate family members.
6.2 Voluntary Withdrawal. No Member shall have the right or power to
Voluntarily Withdraw from the Company, except as otherwise provided by this
Agreement. Any withdrawal in violation of this Agreement shall entitle the
Company to damages for breach, which may be offset against the amounts otherwise
distributable to such Member.
6.3 Involuntary Withdrawal. Immediately upon the occurrence of an Involuntary
Withdrawal, the successor of the Removed Member shall not become a Member, but
such successor shall be entitled to the Removed Member's share of the Profits
and Losses of, and the right to receive distributions from, the Company
("Economic Interest"). If the Company is continued as provided in Section
7.1(c), the successor of the Removed Member shall have all the rights of a

value of the Removed Member's Economic Interest upon the liquidation of the
Company (and as of such date and no other date), in accordance with the
provisions of Article VII of this Agreement.

not be admitted to the Company except as provided in this Article VI.

proceeds, in which case the Company shall be dissolved upon the repayment in
full of such financing or the expiration of such contingent liability period;
