(a) JV Member. JV Member shall commit to contribute to the capital of the Company, in cash, an aggregate amount equal to 10% of the initial equity necessary to acquire the Projects and capitalize the Company which shall be equal to $1,632,601.16 based on the sources and uses schedule attached hereto as Exhibit G.

3.02. Additional Capital Commitments. If any Mandatory Operating Expenses and/or Approved Capital Expenditures (as each such term is defined below) incurred, or expected to be incurred, for any period shall exceed the funds that the Company has, or will have, available during such period, then at the written request of either Member, Managing Member shall require additional capital contributions (“Additional Operating Contributions”) from the Members in an aggregate amount sufficient to cover such shortfall. Additionally, if at any time, Managing Member (with the approval of the Co-Managing Member) determines that additional capital contributions are needed for Uncovered Operating Expenses (defined below),
14
the Managing Member may require (with the approval of the Co-Managing Member) from time to time additional capital contributions to the Company (“Additional Uncovered Operating Contributions” and, together with Additional Operating Contributions, “Additional Capital Contributions”) from the Members in amounts necessary to fund such Uncovered Operating Expenses. Each Member shall contribute to the Company its share of Additional Capital Contributions under this Section 3.02 in accordance with its Percentage Interest in cash on or before the due date specified in the notice from the Managing Member, which due date shall not be less than fifteen (15) days from the date of such written notice. No Member shall be obligated to fund Additional Capital Contributions authorized under this Section 3.02 more often than once during any calendar month.
The term “Mandatory Operating Expenses” shall mean (a) all monthly principal and interest payments payable from time to time under the Loan or any Refinance approved under Section 2.02(e) above, (b) except as otherwise provided below in this paragraph, any payment due at the maturity date of the Loan or any Refinance approved under Section 2.02(e) above (a “Maturity Payment”), (c) all real estate taxes payable for the Projects, and (d) all insurance premiums payable with respect to insurance carried or the Projects.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Maturity Payment shall not be a Mandatory Operating Expense for the purposes of this Agreement if Co-Managing Member has disapproved a Refinance requested by Managing Member pursuant to Section 2.02(e) above and such disapproved Refinance was on commercially reasonable market and customary terms and did not require a guaranty, indemnity or other undertaking from Co-Managing Member or any Affiliate of Co-Managing Member.
3.03. Default in Capital Commitment. If JV Member or KBS (as applicable, the “Defaulting Member”) shall fail to contribute any amounts required to be contributed pursuant to Sections 3.01 or 3.02 and such failure shall continue for at least five (5) business days following notice to the Defaulting Member, KBS or JV Member, as applicable, (the “Non-Defaulting Member(s)”) may, but shall not be obligated to, contribute some or all of the amount required to be contributed by the Defaulting Member. If the Non-Defaulting Member contributes capital on behalf of the Defaulting Member, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be adjusted (effective on the date the Non-Defaulting Member makes such contribution) as if the Non-Defaulting Member contributed 150% of the amount of capital actually contributed by the Non-Defaulting Member in the manner described in the remainder of this Section. The Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Member shall automatically be reduced (effective as of the date the Non-Defaulting Member makes the Defaulting Member’s share the Additional Capital Contribution) by the number of percentage points determined by multiplying the Percentage Interest of the Defaulting Member immediately prior to the Non-Defaulting Member’s making the entire Additional Capital Contribution by a fraction, the numerator of which is 1.5 times the amount of the Additional Capital Contribution made on behalf of the Defaulting Member and the denominator of which is all of the Additional Capital Contributions made by the Defaulting Member, and the Percentage Interest of the Non-Defaulting Member making the Additional Capital Contribution of the Defaulting Member shall be increased by an equal number of
15
percentage points. Additionally, if the Defaulting Member is the JV Member, JV Member shall no longer receive the 10% promote set forth in Section 5.01(b)(iii) below and the 15% promote set forth in Section 5.01(c)(iii) below; however, GECC shall continue to be entitled to receive the Assigned Distributions as provided in Sections 5.01 (b)(ii) and (c)(ii) or Sections 5.02(b)(ii) and (c)(ii), as applicable.

THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.03, WHICH MAY CAUSE A REDUCTION IN THE PERCENTAGE INTEREST OF A DEFAULTING MEMBER (AND A CORRESPONDING INCREASE TO THE PERCENTAGE INTEREST OF A NON-DEFAULTING MEMBER) IN THE EVENT THAT THE NON-DEFAULTING MEMBER FUNDS A DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY BUT AS COMPENSATION TO THE NON-DEFAULTING MEMBER FOR THE ADDED RISK ASSUMED IN PROVIDING A DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THE CAPITAL REQUIRED BY THE COMPANY. EACH MEMBER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ADJUSTMENTS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 3.03 ARE FAIR COMPENSATION TO A NON-DEFAULTING MEMBER THAT FUNDS A DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES CAUSED TO THE OTHER MEMBER BY THE FAILURE OF THE DEFAULTING MEMBER TO FUND ITS PROPORTIONATE SHARE OF ANY ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS, PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF THE UNCERTAIN FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE COMPANY THAT IS LIKELY TO EXIST IF THE COMPANY REQUIRES ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND THE NEED TO PROVIDE FOR A SIGNIFICANT RETURN ON INVESTMENT UNDER THOSE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE INDIVIDUAL EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF EACH MEMBER HAS SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.03 BY THE PARTY FOR WHOM HE/SHE IS ACTING.

3.04. Member Loans. In the event Managing Member determines, in its reasonable discretion, that funds in addition to those otherwise obtained pursuant to Sections 3.01 are necessary for the Company to meet the Annual Budgets, Business Plan, then Managing Member shall deliver written notice of such actual or projected cash deficit to KBS and JV Member requesting that they agree that a loan (a “Member Loan”) should be made to the Company and the interest rate to be paid to the Company. Within 10 business days following the effective date of such notice, each such Member shall notify Managing Member (a) whether or not such Member agrees that Member Loan(s) to the Company should be made in the amount specified in Managing Member’s notice, and (b) whether such Member elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make such Member Loan. If KBS and JV Member (y) agree that a Member Loan in the amount specified in Managing Member’s notice should be made, and (z) elect to advance such funds to the Company, such funds shall be advanced by Members in proportion to their respective percentage set forth opposite such Member’s name under the column labeled “Percentage Interest” on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Percentage Interests”) (or as such Members otherwise agree). Any and all advances made by any Member to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be treated as a Member Loan with recourse only to the assets of the Company (and not to the assets of any Member), and shall bear annual interest as set forth in Managing Member’s notice. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the Company ever receives as interest under a Member Loan in an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of
17
the unpaid principal balance due under such Member Loan and not to the payment of interest. Any and all Member Loans shall be due and payable from the first available funds of the Company and in any event upon the liquidation of the Company. The repayment of any Member Loan shall be made prior to any distributions of Net Cash or other cash proceeds to the Members, but shall be subordinate to any fees or reimbursements required to be made to the Members and/or their Affiliates pursuant to Section 2.13. Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles V and VIII, until any and all Member Loans are repaid in full, the Members shall draw no further distributions from the Company and all cash or property otherwise distributable with respect to the Interests of the Members shall be paid to the Member(s) making Member Loan(s) in proportion to, and as a reduction of, the outstanding balance(s) of such Member Loan(s), with such funds being applied first to reduce any interest accrued thereon, and then to reduce the principal amount thereof. As used in this Agreement, the term “Interest” means in respect to any Member, all of such Member’s right, title and interest in and to the Net Profits, Net Losses, Net Cash, and capital of the Company, and any and all other interests therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Act. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Net Profits” and “Net Losses” mean, for each fiscal year or other period, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss, as the case may be, for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss); provided, however, for purposes of computing such taxable income or loss, (i) such taxable income or loss shall be adjusted by any and all adjustments required to be made in order to maintain Capital Account balances in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), and (ii) any and all items of gross income or gain and/or partnership and/or partner “nonrecourse deductions” specially allocated to any Member pursuant to Section 4.02 shall not be taken into account in calculating such taxable income or loss. If KBS does not approve a Member Loan, such disapproval shall not be construed as a dispute, controversy or a disagreement under this Agreement between the applicable Members and shall not be subject to the arbitration provision set forth in Section 10.07 below.
3.05. Determination of IRR Returns. The IRR Return described in Section 5.01 below shall be determined based upon internal rate of return of KBS and JV Member. As used in this Agreement, the term “IRR Return” means for each of KBS and JV Member the annual discount rate that when compounded quarterly results in a net present value equal to zero when the discount rate is applied to all capital contributions by each such Member and all distributions made by the Company to each such Member pursuant to this Agreement. The IRR Return shall be calculated using the IRR function provided in Microsoft Office Excel or any replacement software issued by Microsoft to compute internal rate of return, utilizing an annual compounding period. It is understood by the Members that the achievement of a particular IRR Return requires both a return of all capital contributions plus a cumulative return on such capital contributions at the applicable percentage IRR Return.
3.06. Capital Contributions in General. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by all Members in writing (i) no Member may withdraw all or any portion of any contribution that such Member may have made to the capital of the Company without each other Member’s consent, (ii) no Member shall be entitled to receive interest on such Member’s contributions to the capital of the Company, and (iii) no Member shall be required or entitled to contribute additional capital to the Company.

ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
4.01. In General.
(a) Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner so as, to the maximum extent possible, to make each Member’s Capital Account as of the close of each year (increased by the Member’s share of “partnership minimum gain” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(2) and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) equal the amount that the Member would receive if, as of the close of such year, all the assets of the Company were sold for their Deemed Book Values (as determined immediately before such deemed sale), the proceeds were applied to pay all Company liabilities and the remaining net proceeds were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as then applicable at the time of such allocations. As used in this Agreement, the term “Deemed Book Value” means the book value of the Company’s assets as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (i.e., the adjusted tax basis of such assets unless there has been a revaluation of book value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)).
(b) The Company shall maintain “Capital Accounts” for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). The Company shall make all adjustments required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), including the adjustments contained in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), relating to Section 704(c) Property as set forth in Section 4.03, below.
4.02. Special Allocations.
(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain for a Company taxable year, each Member shall be allocated, before any other allocation of Company items for the taxable year, items of gross income and gain for the year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, the amount of the Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain during the year. The income allocated under this Section 4.02(a) in any taxable year shall consist first of gains recognized from the disposition of property subject to one or more nonrecourse liabilities of the Company, and any remainder shall consist of a pro rata portion of other items of income or gain of the Company. The allocation otherwise required by this Section 4.02(a) shall not apply to a Member to the extent not required, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2) through (5).
(b) Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to the Member, items of Company gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.
19
(c) Gross Income Allocation. If at the end of any Company taxable year, a Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, the Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income or gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.
(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any “nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.
(e) Partner Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) shall be allocated to those Members that bear the economic risk of loss for the applicable partner nonrecourse debt, and among those Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share the economic risk, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease for a Company taxable year in any partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, each Member with a share of such partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain as of the beginning of such year shall be allocated items of gross income and gain in the manner and to the extent provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
(f) Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. As used in this Agreement, “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in the Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant taxable year, after giving effect to the following adjustments: (i) crediting thereto (A) the amount of the Member’s shares of partnership minimum gain and partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, and (B) the amount of Company liabilities allocated to the Member under Section 752 of the Code with respect to which the Member bears the economic risk of loss (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2(a)), to the extent such liabilities do not constitute partner member nonrecourse debt under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2 and (ii) reduced by all reasonably expected adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).
(g) Interpretation. The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02 are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently with this intention. Any terms used in such provisions that are not specifically defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning, if any, given such terms in the Regulations cited above.
4.03. Differing Tax Basis; Tax Allocation.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.03, items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company to be allocated for income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members on the same basis as the corresponding book items are allocated under Sections 4.01 and 4.02.
(b) Depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions and gain or loss with respect to each item of property treated as contributed to the capital of the Company or revalued under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) shall be allocated among the Members for
20
federal income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and for state income tax purposes in accordance with comparable provisions of the applicable law in the state in which the Property is located and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value (as determined for purposes of the maintenance of Capital Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as heretofore and hereafter amended form time to time (and/or any corresponding provision of any superseding revenue laws).
ARTICLE V
DISTRIBUTION OF CASH FLOW
5.01. Distribution of Net Cash Prior to Removal of JV Member. Prior to any removal of the JV Member pursuant to Sections 2.06(b)(i) or (ii) of this Agreement), Net Cash shall be determined and distributed quarterly (or at such other times as are determined in the reasonable discretion of the Managing Member and Co-Managing Member, taking into account the reasonable business needs of the Company) in the following order of priority:
(a) First, 100% to KBS and JV Member, pari passu in proportion to their Percentage Interests (“Pari Passu”), until KBS has received an IRR Return of 13%;
(b) Second, (i) 80% to KBS and JV Member, Pari Passu, (ii) 10% to GECC in payment of the Assigned Distributions (defined below), and (iii) 10% to JV Member, until KBS has received an IRR Return of 20%; and
(c) Third, (i) 70% to KBS and JV Member, Pari Passu, (ii) 15% to GECC in payment of the Assigned Distributions (defined below), and (iii) 15% to JV Member.
Reference is made to that Assignment of Limited Liability Company Distributions between JV Member, as Assignor, and GECC, as Assignee (the “Assignment of Distributions”), in which JV Member, in consideration for the consent by GECC to the acquisition of the Properties by the Company, has agreed that GECC will receive a portion of the distributions from the Company that would have otherwise been paid to directly JV Member under this Agreement (the “Assigned Distributions”). The Assigned Distributions are set forth in Sections 5.01(b)(ii) and (c)(ii) above and in Sections 5.02(b)(ii) and (c)(ii) below are subject to Section 5.03 below and the Assignment of Distributions.

5.04. In-Kind Distribution. Subject to Section 10.06, assets of the Company (other than cash) shall not be distributed in kind to the Members without approval of the Co-Managing Member. In the event of any distribution of real property in kind, each Member hereby waives any right of partition in respect thereof.
5.05. Tax Distributions. Unless this provision is waived by KBS, to the fullest extent possible but consistent with the distribution provisions of this Article 5, the Managing Member shall use best efforts to cause the Company to distribute KBS’s portion of the Company’s cash to KBS by the end of each fiscal year no less than 100% of the taxable income (including any net capital gain) allocated, directly or indirectly, to KBS for federal income tax purposes for each such fiscal year so that KBS or any owner of KBS that is a REIT may satisfy the requirements of Section 857(a)(1) of the Code for its taxable year with respect to the income and gain allocated to that owner from KBS for the taxable year, and otherwise distribute 100% of its taxable income and net capital gain.
5.06. Credit to Assigned Distributions.

ARTICLE VI

Except as set forth in Section 6.02 below, no Member shall be entitled to sell, exchange, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise grant a security interest in, directly or indirectly (collectively, a “Transfer”), all or any part of such Member’s Interest, without the prior written consent of the non-transferring Members (which consent may be withheld in such Member’s sole and absolute discretion). Any attempted Transfer in violation of the restrictions set forth in this Article VI shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect. Each Member shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Members and the Company harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses and losses associated with any Transfer (including any Permitted
22
Transfer), including without limitation any transfer taxes and any increase in real estate or other taxes incurred as a result of such transfer.

Managing Member’s failure to respond to KBS’s request for the approval of a Transfer within five (5) business days following delivery of KBS’s written request for such consent shall be deemed to constitute Managing Member’s consent. A “KBS Affiliate” is any entity in which at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the ownership interests is owned, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, by KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT, Inc.
(d) JV Member Transfers. Any direct or indirect constituent owner of JV Member may transfer all or any portion of such constituent owner’s direct or indirect ownership interest in JV Member so long as Xxxx Xxxxxx continues to serve as the Manager of JV Member.

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, unless approved by all of the Members, no Member and/or any direct or indirect constituent owner of any Member shall transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Interest or
23
permit the transfer of any direct or indirect ownership interest in such Member if such transfer would be a default under the Loan or any Refinance.
6.03. Admission of Substituted Members. If any Member transfers such Member’s Interest to a transferee in accordance with Sections 6.01 or 6.02, then such transferee shall only be entitled to be admitted into the Company as a substituted Member if (i) the Members approve such admission in writing and this Agreement is amended to reflect such admission; (ii) the non-transferring Member approves the form and content of the instrument of transfer; (iii) the transferor and transferee named therein execute and acknowledge such other instruments as the non-transferring Member may deem reasonably necessary to effectuate such admission; (iv) the transferee in writing accepts and adopts all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as the same may have been amended; (v) the transferor pays, as the non-transferring Member may reasonably determine, all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such admission, including, without limitation, legal fees and costs; and (vi) to the extent required the lender under the Loan or any Refinance has consented to such transfer. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any transferee of an Interest who does not become a substituted Member shall have no right to require any information or account of the Company’s transactions, to inspect the Company books, or to vote on any of the matters as to which a Member would be entitled to vote under this Agreement. Any such transferee shall only be entitled to share in such Net Profits and Net Losses, to receive such distributions, and to receive such allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar items to which the transferor was entitled, to the extent transferred. A Member that transfers such Member’s Interest pursuant to Section 6.02 shall not cease to be a Member of the Company until the admission of the transferee as a substituted Member in accordance with this Agreement and, except as provided in the preceding sentence, shall continue to be entitled to exercise, and shall continue to be subject to, all of the other rights, duties and obligations of such Member under this Agreement.

Upon the transfer of all or any part of the Interest of a Member as hereinabove provided, Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated between the transferor and transferee on the basis of a computation method that is in conformity with the methods prescribed by Section 706 of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.706-1(c)(2) and approved by the Members affected by the method.
6.05. Waiver of Withdrawal and Purchase Rights.

KBS’S RIGHT TO CAUSE SALE OF THE PROJECTS
24
7.01. KBS’s Right to Sell the Projects.
(a) At any time after the second anniversary of the date hereof, Co-Managing Member shall have the continuing right to solicit offers from third parties to sell any or all of the Projects in one or more transactions; provided that prior to soliciting any such offers the Co-Managing Member shall provide written notice to JV Member (a “Sale Notice”) of its intent to solicit offers for any or all of the Projects. Each Sale Notice shall set forth the proposed sales price (the “Proposed Project Value”) of the applicable Project(s) that Co-Managing Member desires to sell (each a “Proposed Sale Project”). For thirty (30) days following receipt of a Sale Notice, JV Member may elect to buy the Proposed Sale Project(s) described in the applicable Sale Notice from the Company (a “Purchase Election”). If a Purchase Election is timely made, the closing of the purchase and sale of the applicable Proposed Sale Project(s) shall take place on a date agreed upon by KBS and JV Member, which date may not be later than sixty (60) days following the date of the applicable Sale Notice (a “Purchase Closing Date”). To be effective, the Purchase Election must be accompanied by (a) a non refundable (but applicable to the purchase price) cash deposit (the “Deposit”) made to KBS equal to five percent (5%) of the Proposed Project Value, and (b) a draft sales agreement (a “Purchase Agreement”) to be executed by KBS and the JV Member containing such terms to which such parties may agree that are consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.01 and that provides for the transfer of the applicable Proposed Sale Project(s) free and clear of the Loan or any Refinance applicable to such Proposed Sale Project(s). KBS and JV Member shall use their good faith diligent efforts to execute the Purchase Agreement within ten (10) business days thereafter. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, if the parties are unable to agree upon the Purchase Agreement after good faith and diligent efforts to do so or the JV Member fails to close the purchase of the applicable Proposed Sale Project(s) on or before the applicable Purchase Closing Date, KBS shall have the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement (if executed) and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages (whether or not the Purchase Agreement is executed), and the Purchase Agreement shall so provide, and thereafter, KBS shall have the right to cause the Company to sell the applicable Proposed Sale Project(s) pursuant to this Section 7.01.
(b) If a Purchase Election is not timely made, Co-Managing Member shall have the right to retain brokers on behalf of the Company and to advertise the applicable Proposed Sale Project(s) for sale. Co-Managing Member may cause the Company to sell such Proposed Sale Project(s) on an “as is, where is” basis so long as (i) the price is at least equal to 90% of the Proposed Project Value, or (ii) JV Member receives no less than it would have received under this Agreement upon a liquidation of the Company had the Proposed Sale Project(s) been sold for 90% of the Proposed Project Value. Co-Managing Member shall keep Manager Member informed of the progress of the sale of the Proposed Sale Project(s). Managing Member shall cooperate with Co-Managing Member in connection with the sale of the Proposed Sale Project(s) and shall execute such documents (in its capacity as a Member in the Company, and/or as the Managing Member, as applicable) as may be reasonably required to effectuate the sale of the Proposed Sale Project(s); provided that the Members shall not be exposed to any personal liability. If the Proposed Sale Project(s) is not subject to a purchase and sale contract within 9 months after the date of the applicable Sale Notice, the Co-Managing Member may not cause such Proposed Sale Project(s) to be sold unless another Sale Notice is provided to JV Member pursuant to this Section 7.01. JV Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Co-Managing Member as its agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
25
interest, for the purpose of executing and delivering any documents required to be executed and delivered by Managing Member (in its capacity as a member in the Company and, so long as it is the Managing Member, as the Managing Member of the Company) pursuant to this Section 7.01 in the event Managing Member fails or refuses to execute the same upon the request of Co-Managing Member.
ARTICLE VIII
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY
8.01. Events Causing Dissolution of the Company. Upon any Member’s bankruptcy, retirement, resignation, expulsion or other cessation to serve or the admission of any new member into the Company, the Company shall not dissolve, but the business of the Company shall continue without interruption and without any break in continuity. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the first to occur of: (i) the expiration of the term of the Company unless such term has been extended by the Members; (ii) the sale, transfer or other disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of its assets and the collection by the Company of any and all Net Cash derived therefrom; (iii) the agreement of the Members to dissolve the Company; or (iv) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to the Act.
8.02. Winding Up of the Company. Upon the Liquidation of the Company caused by other than the termination of the Company under Code Section 708(b)(1)(B) (in which latter case the Company shall remain in existence in accordance with the provisions of such Section of the Code), the Members shall proceed to the winding up of the affairs of the Company. During such winding up process, the Net Profits, Net Losses and Net Cash distributions shall continue to be shared by the Members in accordance with this Agreement. The assets shall be liquidated as promptly as consistent with obtaining a fair value therefor, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent available, shall be applied and distributed by the Company on or before the end of the taxable year of such Liquidation or, if later, within 90 days after such Liquidation, in the following order: (i) first, to creditors of the Company (including Members who are creditors in the order of priority as provided by law including, without limitation, any Members that have made Member Loans); (ii) second, to the setting up of any reserves which the Members determine, in their reasonable discretion, are necessary for any contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company (which shall be distributed at such time as is determined in the reasonable discretion of the Members); and (iii) the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with the distribution schedule of Section 5.01 or Section 5.02, as then applicable at the time of such Liquidation. Such distribution shall be made by the date specified in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2). As used in this Agreement, the term “Liquidation” means (i) in respect to the Company the earlier of the date upon which the Company is terminated under Code Section 708(b)(1) or the date upon which the Company ceases to be a going concern (even though it may continue in existence for the purpose of winding up its affairs, paying its debts and distributing any remaining balance to its Members), and (ii) in respect to a Member wherein the Company is not in Liquidation, means the liquidation of a Member’s interest in the Company under Treasury Regulation Section 1.761-1(d).
8.03. Negative Capital Account Restoration. No Member shall have any obligation whatsoever upon the Liquidation of such Member’s Interest, the Liquidation of the Company or in any other event, to contribute all or any portion of any negative balance standing
26
in such Member’s Capital Account to the Company, to each other Member or to any other person or entity.

Upon not less than three (3) business days prior notice, Managing Member shall cooperate with any Member that requests, at such Member’s sole cost and expense, and not more than one time in each calendar year, to conduct an independent audit of the Company.
9.02. Tax Returns. Managing Member shall cause to be prepared and timely filed and distributed to each Member, at the expense of the Company (and prepared by an accounting firm approved by the Members), all required federal and state Company tax returns, which shall be delivered to KBS by no later than March 31 each year; provided however, in the event that it is not possible for Managing Member to have such materials by said date using best efforts to meet the deadline, Managing Member shall: (i) notify the other Members by March 15 that such materials will not be available, (ii) deliver estimated drafts of such information to the other Members by March 31, and (iii) deliver all such information to the other Members by June 30 of said year.

(i) That the Interests in the Company evidenced by this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 15b et seq., or any state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Acts”) because the Company is issuing Interests in the Company in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Acts providing for issuance of securities not involving a public offering;
(ii) That the Company has relied upon the representation made by each Member that such Member’s Interest in the Company is to be held by such Member for investment; and

29
(b) Each Member hereby represents to the Company that such Member is acquiring such Member’s Interest in the Company for such Member’s own account, for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Interest (except for any transfers made in accordance with the provisions of Article VI).

(d) Each Member hereby represents that such Member has not received any advertisement or general solicitation with respect to the sale of the Interests.
(e) Each Member acknowledges that such Member has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company or its officers or principal Interest holders, or, by reason of such Member’s business or financial experience or the business or financial experience of such Member’s financial advisors (who are not affiliated with the Company), could be reasonably assumed to have the capacity to protect such Member’s own interest in connection with the purchase of such Member’s Interest. Each Member further acknowledges that such Member is familiar with the financial condition and prospects of the Company’s business, and has discussed with each other Member the current activities of the Company.

(f) Before acquiring any Interest in the Company, each Member has investigated the Company and its business and the Company has made available to each Member all information necessary for the Member to make an informed decision to acquire an Interest in the Company. Each Member considers itself to be a person possessing experience and sophistication as an investor adequate for the evaluation of the merits and risks of the Member’s investment in the Company.

In furtherance of the foregoing, each Member hereby agrees to execute any and all deeds, documents and/or other instruments that may be required to distribute and vest an undivided interest in the Project in such Member and/or otherwise necessary to effect such Code Section 1031 exchange, provided that (i) the distribution and exchange of such portion of the Project does not reduce the cash proceeds that otherwise would be distributed to any non-exchanging Member from the sale of the Project; (ii) the distribution and exchange does not materially delay or otherwise adversely affect the closing of any such sale of the Project; (iii) the exchanging Member pays any and all additional costs, fees, and/or expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs incurred as a result of the proposed distribution and exchange; and (iv) there is no additional loss, cost or damage incurred (or which may be incurred) by the Company or any non-exchanging Member as a direct consequence of the distribution and exchange.

The parties hereby further agree that within forty five (45) days of service of the notice of arbitration, the parties shall mutually exchange all documents which they reasonably believe are relevant to any claim or defense in the action, regardless of whether such documents are helpful or hurtful to the producing parties case. No document requests, interrogatories or requests for admission will be permitted. Each party shall be entitled to take up to ten (10) hours of depositions, but not more
31
than ten (10) hours of depositions.

Neither this Agreement nor any activities undertaken pursuant hereto shall prevent a Member from engaging in such activities.
10.09. Limitation on Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including without limitation, Section 10.02 above, any amendment or modification to Section 5.01 or Section 5.02 of this Agreement or any other provision of this Agreement that would reduce the amount distributable to GECC as Assigned Distributions pursuant to the Assignment of Distributions, admit any new Member into the Company other than as a result of a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 6.02 above, or allow for the assignment of the interest of JV Member to any other party other than as a result of a Permitted Transfer pursuant to Section 6.02 above, shall be effective only with the prior written consent of GECC.

BUSINESS PLAN

Richardson Office Portfolio |
November 3, 2011 | |
Operating Plan |
The Richardson Office Portfolio is composed of five (5) office buildings and approximately 40 acres of excess land located in the Telecom Corridor, along North Central Expressway in Richardson, Texas.
The portfolio is being acquired for approximately $45 million; which in better days, with better occupancy, feasible entitlements, and an optimistic perception of the asset’s future would be a $90 to $100 million portfolio. In summary, our operating plan aspires to achieve such results by implementing a 4-year strategy geared towards optimizing the investment’s Internal Rate of Return.
Step 1 - Create Positive Energy: Of late the portfolio had experienced a trend of increasing vacancy. In part, this was attributable to macroeconomics; but also to the perception of a sponsorship deficient in capital and of waning enthusiasm.
Accordingly, our first step is to address the matter of “perception”, by implementing smart marketing, tenant and public relations initiatives, and by allocating significant investment to high-profile, cost effective capital improvements1.
In effect, this first step will create momentum by allocating capital and human resources to those areas where we can make the best impression on tenants, tenant brokers, government agencies, and the community as a whole.
Step 2 - Building the perfect Rent Roll: From such a foundation of positive energy, our emphasis will turn to the future, when in CY 2015, we anticipate a prospective buyer will underwrite our rent roll (which we will custom design for this future purpose). By staggering lease maturation, as well as balancing tenant types and industry groupings, our rent roll will be geared to achieve the best possible exit given a 4-year hold.
In practice, there are two places we can find the tenants necessary to succeed. The obvious place is the market (by soliciting new businesses to the property), but more important is successful stewardship of existing occupants, whose companies we can support with expansions, renewals, and other accommodations. This is critical because even as we hope to attract new tenants to the property the cost of keeping our existing portfolio is our best use of time and capital.
For the solicitation of new tenants we will implement direct-marketing to individual companies through onsite salaried leasing agents and by collaborating with and supporting the commercial brokerage community to present our properties to their clients. This will be achieved by onsite
1 Preliminary budgets will provide for approximately 89% hard costs, 6% in marking and leasing soft costs, and 5% in predevelopment soft costs.
functions, networking, and direct mailings. But latently, we intend to xxxxxx broker attention by week-to-week progress notifications, the sharing of our leasing successes, and occupancy momentum. We hope this draws favorable attention to the portfolio, while keeping the brokerage community subconsciously connected to the project. This is a subtle, but important means intended to keep our buildings at the top of the leasing community’s minds.
Step 3: Using the Land: The excess land is a lucky advantage to the portfolio, capable of serving two separate and important functions: (i) as a proposed site for the relocation and construction of a new corporate headquarter facility and (ii) as a development site for a mixed-use residential, lodging, restaurant and retail facility geared towards servicing the portfolio and enhancing the experience of our owners, their employees and invitees.
The proposed build-to-suit and relocation site will become an integral part of the portfolio’s positioning plan and marketing strategy. This will allow us to present our portfolio not only as five (5) existing buildings but also as a place for new ideas, new possibilities, and new opportunities. This marketing tactic will be used to direct-market ourselves to rapidly expanding global communications and technology companies worldwide, while in turn keeping us top-of-mind among the tenant representation and broker community. This may lead to a major corporate relocation, or simply to new tenants for existing vacancies, but either way we anticipate a sense of excitement which will fuel the success of our overall portfolio.
Also, the remaining (approximate 80%) of land will be re-entitled to accommodate other uses of a mixed use project geared towards supporting the core office portfolio. We will attempt to organize a separate development group to construct a walkable, urban project composed of attainable housing, resident lodging, retail stores, restaurants, and service commercial. This mixed use project will seek municipal and state funding for the construction of pedestrian links between the Palisades land and Community Transit Center, and other economic subsidies and incentives intended to support the financial feasibility of the project.
As a whole, the guiding principal of the land plan will be to xxxxxx independent, financially-feasible projects that support the underlying value and sustainability of the portfolio and our 4-year exit strategy.
In conclusion, by implementing these marketing, leasing, and land use strategies, together with top-class institutional styled property management and our own diligent efforts, we believe we can maximize profit to obtain our desired financial results.
