The Members acknowledge that CWI is an Affiliate of Xxxxx Watermark, which is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and the Managing Member agrees to manage the Company (and any other entity in which the Company owns an interest) in a manner (i) that enables Xxxxx Watermark to qualify as a REIT within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code; and (ii) that recognizes the income, asset and operating requirements of the Code that are applicable to a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code to the extent possible. In connection therewith, the Members acknowledge and agree to cooperate with Managing Member’s obligations hereunder and not take any action in contravention hereof. Therefore, the Company shall conduct its operations in accordance with the following limitations:

(a) The Business and affairs of the Company will be managed in a manner that does not cause Xxxxx Watermark to be disqualified as a REIT under the Code or incur any amount of tax pursuant to Section 856, 857 or 4981 of the Code;

(b) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not render any services to any lessee or sublessee or any customer thereof, either directly or through an “independent contractor” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code, if the rendering of such services would cause all or any part of the rents received by the Company or its Subsidiaries to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code;

(c) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not directly or indirectly own (taking into account the attribution rules referred to in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), in the aggregate ten percent (10%) or more of the total number of shares of all classes of stock, ten percent (10%) or more of the voting power of all classes of voting stock or ten percent (10%) or more of the assets or net profits of any lessee or sublessee of all or any part of any of the Property or other Company property, other than a lessee Subsidiary that makes an election by filing IRS Form 8875 to be treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” under Section 856(l)(1) of the Code;

(d) No lease or sublease of any space at the Hotel or any other Company or Subsidiary property shall provide for any rent based in whole or in part on the “income or profits” derived by any lessee or sublessee from such property within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(A) of the Code;

(e) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not own more than ten percent (10%) of the total voting power or more than ten percent (10%) of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer (as determined for purposes of Section 856(c)(4)(B) of the Code) other than securities of a subsidiary, including, without limitation, the TRS SUB that

makes an election by filing IRS Form 8875 to be treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” under Section 856(l)(1) of the Code;

(f) The TRS SUB or any other Subsidiary that is treated as a corporation under the Code (other than a “real estate investment trust”) shall make an election by filing IRS Form 8875 to be treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” under Section 856(l)(1) of the Code;

(g) The TRS SUB or any other Subsidiary that has made an election to be treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” under the Code shall not directly or indirectly operate a “lodging facility” or a “health care facility” as such terms are defined in Section 856 of the Code but rather shall use, to operate any “lodging facility,” an “eligible independent contractor” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(A) of the Code (e.g., without limitation, such contractor must be actively engaged in the trade or business of operating “qualified lodging facilities” for Persons other than those that are related to the TRS SUB, the Company or Xxxxx Watermark), provided that, in the case of any “lodging facility,” no gambling activities are conducted on the premises and no gambling revenues are generated by the facility;

(h) Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries, nor any Member shall take any action (or fail to take any action permitted under this Agreement) that would otherwise cause the Company’s gross income to consist of more than one percent (1%) of income not described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Code or more than ten percent (10%) of income not described in Section 856(c)(3) of the Code, or cause any significant part of the Company assets to consist of assets other than “real estate assets” within the meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code;

(i) The Company shall distribute to the Members during each calendar year an amount of cash mutually agreed upon by the Members, but in no event in an amount less than that which is necessary to comply with REIT requirements, to be made to the Members with respect to such Fiscal Year at the times required to prevent the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4981 of the Code; provided, however, that if each such Member’s distributable share of any Net Distributable Cash and/or Capital Transaction Proceeds and its distributable share of any funds maintained in the Company reserves are insufficient to meet the aforesaid distribution requirement with respect to such Member, then the Company shall have satisfied the foregoing distribution requirement with respect to such Member upon distributing to it such Member’s distributable share of Net Distributable Cash and/or Capital Transaction Proceeds and funds maintained in the Company reserves. In no event shall the Company be required to borrow funds, nor shall any Member be required to contribute funds to the Company, in order to permit the Company to satisfy the foregoing distribution requirement. The foregoing provisions of this subsection shall not, however, adversely affect the Net Distributable Cash and/or Capital Transaction Proceeds; or

(j) The Company and its Subsidiaries shall not engage in any “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 857(b)(6)(B)(iii) of the Code.

The Members acknowledge that the foregoing are the current guidelines applicable to the qualification of real estate investment trusts. If any of the requirements to qualify for “real estate investment trust” status are changed, then upon CWI’s delivery of written notice to AM (or

Managing Member, if CWI ceases to be Managing Member) describing such changes, such changes shall be deemed incorporated herein, and this Section 5.5 shall be deemed amended as necessary to incorporate such changed real estate investment trust requirements.

5.6 Dispute Resolution Regarding REIT Compliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Sections 9.4, 9.11 or elsewhere in this Agreement, any dispute over whether an activity of the Company or the TRS SUB is in violation of Section 5.5 shall be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of CWI, provided that any additional out-of-pocket expenses to the Company resulting therefrom will be borne by CWI.

5.7 Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Compliance. The Company and the TRS SUB shall take all actions necessary to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Securities Act”), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), and the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“SOX”).

For purposes of this Agreement, “principal executive officer” and “principal financial officer” shall have the meanings given to such terms in SOX. The Company does not have outstanding, or has not arranged any outstanding, “extensions of credit” to directors or executive officers within the meaning of Section 402 of SOX. Neither the Company nor any of the TRS SUB has outstanding, or has arranged any outstanding, “extensions of credit” to directors or executive officers within the meaning of Section 402 of SOX. The costs and expenses of any actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be borne by the Company or the TRS SUB, as applicable, so long as such actions are taken for the benefit of the Company or such TRS SUB and not for the Members or their Affiliates (which costs and/or expenses shall be the sole obligation of such Member or its Affiliate).

6. CONTRIBUTIONS AND LOANS.

6.1 Initial Contributions. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (a) CWI has made a Capital Contribution in the amount of Twelve Million Three Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty-Seven Dollars ($12,355,727) (the “CWI Initial Contribution”) in exchange for an interest in the profits and losses of the Company as described herein; and (b) AM has made a Capital Contribution in the amount of Two Million Twenty-Three Thousand Ninety-Two Dollars ($2,023,092) (the “AM Initial Contribution” and together with the CWI Initial Contribution, the “Initial Capital Contributions”) in exchange for an interest in the profits and losses of the Company as described herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in addition to the AM Initial Capital Contributions of the Members, AM has unconditionally and irrevocably committed to contribute an additional Seven Million Two Hundred Ninety-Seven Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-Five Dollars ($7,297,895) (the “AM Commitment Amount”) as an Additional Capital Contribution (the “AM Mandatory Capital Contribution”) to be funded as and when due and owing pursuant to an approved renovation budget, as may be amended from time to time. None of the Initial Capital Contributions will be distributed to any Member, in such Member’s capacity as a Member. Each Member’s initial Capital Account balance shall be reflected on Exhibit “A.” All or a portion of the AM

Commitment Amount, as applicable, shall be due and owing from time to time within five (5) Business Days after delivery by Managing Manager to AM of a written request therefor as and when such amount(s) are then required to be applied to fund the Renovation, together with a brief description of the costs to which such amounts are anticipated to be applied and the parties to whom such amounts are to be paid (the “AM Contribution Request”). In the event that AM fails to make such AM Mandatory Capital Contribution(s) within such five (5) Business Days after receipt of the respective AM Contribution Request, AM shall be obligated to pay to the Company liquidated damages equal to One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per day for the first ten (10) days after the date due, and Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) per day thereafter until the required portion(s) of the AM Mandatory Capital Contribution is paid in full. In connection with AM’s obligation to make the AM Mandatory Capital Contributions, Arden Real Estate Partners I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and Marcus Hotels, Inc., a Delaware corporation, each an affiliate of AM, shall execute and deliver to the Company and CWI a payment guaranty, jointly and severally guaranteeing payment of the AM Mandatory Capital Contributions up to the AM Commitment Amount.

6.2 Use of Funds. The Initial Capital Contributions shall be used by the Company in strict accordance with the statement of sources and uses attached hereto as Schedule 1.

6.3 Additional Contributions or Loans.

(a) Except for the Initial Capital Contributions and the AM Commitment Amount as set forth in Section 6.1 and as otherwise required pursuant to this Section 6.3, the Members shall not be required to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Company in addition to the Initial Capital Contributions. If Managing Member reasonably determines that the Members shall make additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Company to fund a Working Capital Shortfall or a Preservation Cost of the Company or the TRS SUB (each, in the case of Working Capital Shortfalls, a “Mandatory Capital Contribution” and in the case of Preservation Cost, a “Member Loan”), then such Mandatory Capital Contribution or Member Loan shall be contributed or made, as applicable, by the Members in accordance with their respective Initial Participation Percentage. Managing Member shall deliver a notice (a “Cash Notice”) to each Member setting forth the amount of cash required from such Member (a “Required Amount”). Within the twenty (20) day period following the date of receipt by a Member of a Cash Notice, the Member shall contribute to the Company its Required Amount.

(b) If a Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) shall fail to advance all or any part of its Required Amount within twenty (20) days after the date a Cash Notice is given pursuant to Section 6.3(a), the other Member which has funded its respective Required Amount (the “Contributing Member”) may elect (in its sole and absolute discretion), within ten (10) days after the Non-Contributing Member’s failure to fund, to advance directly to the Company the Required Amount not advanced by the Non-Contributing Member (the “Deficiency Amount”); provided that, if the Non-Contributing Member fails to fund (i) a Mandatory Capital Contribution for Working Capital Shortfalls, a Contributing Member may fund the Deficiency Amount as a loan to the Non-Contributing Member (which shall be treated as an additional Capital Contribution by the Non-Contributing Member of the Deficiency

Amount) (a “Deficit Loan”); or (ii) a Member Loan for Preservation Costs a Contributing Member may advance a Capital Contribution to the Company equal to the Deficiency Amount whereupon the Participation Percentage of the Members shall be recalculated to (A) increase the Contributing Member(s)’ collective Participation Percentage by the Applicable Adjustment Percentage (as defined below) and increasing their aggregate Capital Accounts by the product of the Deficiency Amount and the Dilution Multiplier (as defined below), with such increases in Participation Percentage and Capital Accounts to be allocated to the Contributing Members(s) pro rata based on the portion of the Deficiency Amount owed to each Contributing Member, and (B) reduce the Non-Contributing Member’s Participation Percentage by the Applicable Adjustment Percentage and decrease its Capital Account by the product of the Deficiency Amount and the Dilution Multiplier. The “Applicable Adjustment Percentage” shall mean the fraction, expressed as a percentage, in which the numerator is an amount equal to the Dilution Multiplier (or, in the case of Section 6.3(f), the Adjusted Dilution Multiplier) times the Deficiency Amount, and the denominator is the sum of the Member’s total Capital Contribution (taking into account the additional Capital Contributions funded by the Contribution Member(s)). The “Dilution Multiplier” shall mean 1.5. Any reduction in the Non-Contributing Member’s Participation Percentage and increase in the Contributing Member(s) Participation Percentage in accordance with this Section 6.3(b) shall not affect the Members’ Initial Participation Percentages, and the Non-Contributing Member and the Contributing Member(s) shall remain obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions in accordance with their respective Initial Participation Percentages.

(c) Each Deficit Loan shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%), compounded monthly, or (ii) the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law, and shall be repaid within ten (10) days following demand by the Contributing Members upon the Non-Contributing Member, or until demand is made, by payment directly by the Company to the Contributing Members of any distributions otherwise due the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to the other Sections of this Agreement; provided, however, that for Capital Account maintenance purposes, such amount shall be deemed distributed to the Non-Contributing Member (with a corresponding reduction to its Capital Account) followed by the repayment by the Non-Contributing Member to the Contributing Member. Any payments on a Deficit Loan shall be credited first to any interest then due on the loan with the balance of such distributions to be credited against the outstanding principal balance of such loan. Any Deficit Loan will be recourse to the Non-Contributing Member’s right to distributions pursuant to this Agreement and must be repaid directly by the Company on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member as set forth in this Section 6.3. For avoidance of doubt, no Deficit Loan shall be considered a Capital Contribution by the Contributing Member for purposes of this Agreement or increase such Contributing Member’s Capital Account.

(d) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Members agree that in the event that CWI makes a Member Loan and/or Deficit Loan, the Member Loan and/or Deficit Loan, as applicable, may be structured in a manner that causes the REIT to comply with the requirements of Section 5.5.

(e) Each Member Loan shall bear interest at the annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) fifteen percent (15.0%), compounded monthly, or (ii) the highest interest rate

permitted by applicable law. Member Loans, and all interest thereon, will be repaid in full prior to any distribution pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.3, if Managing Member reasonably determines that the Members shall make additional Capital Contributions to the Company to fund Loan Costs, then Managing Member shall deliver a notice (a “Loan Cost Request”) to each Member setting forth the amount of cash required from each Member as necessary to pay the Loan Costs in question; provided, however, such additional Capital Contributions shall not be Mandatory Capital Contribution. In the event that a Member elects not to contribute to the Company the amounts set forth in the applicable Loan Cost Request, the other Member (which has funded its respective Loan Cost Request) shall have the option (in its sole and absolute discretion), as its sole remedy, to advance a Capital Contribution to the Company equal to the Non-Contributing Member’s applicable portion of the Loan Costs not funded (as set forth in the respective Loan Cost Request) whereupon the Participation Percentage of the Members shall be recalculated to (A) increase the Contributing Member(s)’ collective Participation Percentage by the Applicable Adjustment Percentage and increasing their aggregate Capital Accounts by the product of the Loan Costs funded by the Contributing Member and the Adjusted Dilution Multiplier (as defined below), with such increases in Participation Percentage and Capital Accounts to be allocated to the Contributing Members(s) pro rata based on the portion of the Loan Costs owed to each Contributing Member, and (B) reduce the Non-Contributing Member’s Participation Percentage by the Applicable Adjustment Percentage and decrease its Capital Account by the product of the Loan Costs funded by the Contributing Member and the Adjusted Dilution Multiplier. The “Adjusted Dilution Multiplier” shall mean 1.25. Any reduction in the Non-Contributing Member’s Participation Percentage and increase in the Contributing Member(s) Participation Percentage in accordance with this Section 6.3(f) shall not affect the Members’ Initial Participation Percentages, and the Non-Contributing Member and the Contributing Member(s) shall remain obligated to make any additional Capital Contributions in accordance with their respective Initial Participation Percentages.

6.4 Interest on Contributions. No interest shall be paid by the Company on any Capital Contribution made by any Member to the Company.

6.5 Return of Contributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to withdraw or reduce such Member’s Capital Contribution or to receive any distributions, except as a result of dissolution. No Member shall have the right to demand or receive property other than cash in return for such Member’s Capital Contributions.

7. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS; ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES.

7.1 Capital Accounts.

(a) The Company shall maintain a separate capital account (“Capital Account”) for each Member.

(b) The Capital Account of each Member shall be maintained in accordance with Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Regulations and shall be interpreted and

applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations and the special allocations set forth in Sections (a) through (i) of Exhibit “B” attached hereto shall apply (the “Special Allocations”).

(i) To each Member’s Capital Account there shall be credited (A) the amount of any cash Capital Contributions made, and the Book Value of any property contributed (net of liabilities secured by such property), by such Member to the Company, and (B) such Member’s allocable share of Profits and other items of income and gain allocated to such Member; and

(ii) To each Member’s Capital Account there shall be debited (A) the amount of cash and the Book Value of any Company property distributed to such Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (net of any liabilities secured by such property), and (B) such Member’s allocable share of Losses and other items of income and gain allocated to such Member.

(d) In the event of a Transfer of a Member’s Membership Interest, or any portion thereof, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, whether or not the purchaser, assignee or successor-in-interest is then a Member, the Person so acquiring such Member’s Membership Interest, or any portion thereof, shall acquire the Capital Account, or any portion thereof, of the Member formerly owning such Membership Interest, adjusted for distributions of Net Distributable Cash and/or Capital Transaction Proceeds made pursuant to Section 8 and allocations of Profits and Losses made pursuant to Section 7.2.

7.2 Allocation of Profits and Losses. After giving effect to the Special Allocations set forth in Exhibit “B” attached hereto, Managing Member shall cause the Company to allocate Profits and Losses in respect of each Fiscal Year of the Company (and, in each case, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and tax preference, required to be taken into account by the Members separately under Section 702(a) of the Code, which are included in the computation of such Profits and Losses for such year) to the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the excess of:

(a) the distributions that would be made to that Member pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iii) if:

(i) the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for an amount of cash equal to their Book Values;

(ii) all liabilities of the Company were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability); and

(iii) the assets of the Company were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 11.2(a)(iii) immediately after making such allocation; over

(b) the sum of (i) the Member’s respective share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain; and (ii) the amount, if any, that such Member is obligated (or deemed obligated) to contribute, in its capacity as a Member, to the Company, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets described in Section 7.2(a).

7.3 Other Allocation Rules.

(a) For purposes of determining Profits, Losses or any other items allocable to any period, Profits, Losses and other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by Managing Member, using any permissible method under Section 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

(b) Credits, or income resulting from the recapture of credits, shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with the Code, Regulations and Applicable Law.

(c) Whenever items of income or loss of the Company allocable hereunder consist of items of different character for tax purposes (i.e., ordinary income, long-term capital gain, depreciation recapture, interest expense, etc.) the items of income or loss of the Company allocable to each Member shall include, to the extent possible, its pro rata share of each such item; provided, however, in making allocations of depreciation recapture under Section 1245 or Section 1250 of the Code, or unrecaptured Section 1250 gain under Section 1(h) of the Code, principles consistent with those of Regulations Section 1.1245-1(e) shall be followed such that amounts treated as ordinary income shall be allocated first to the Member that was allocated the related ordinary deduction.

(d) The Members are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article 7 and Exhibit “B” attached hereto and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7 and Exhibit “B” attached hereto in reporting their shares of Company income and loss for income tax purposes.

(e) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted as provided in the definition thereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall, solely for Federal income tax purposes and pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder.

7.4 Tax Allocations.

(a) Except as provided in Section 7.4(b), items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated, for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gain, losses, deductions and credits among the Members under Section 7.2.

(ii) the Expert has the power to demand from either Member whatever information in that Party’s possession the Expert deems necessary to resolve the dispute;

(iii) no attorneys may appear on behalf of either Member (although either Member may use attorneys for their own consultation or advice);

(iv) the Expert shall schedule and conduct all proceedings with the objective of resolving the dispute as quickly and efficiently as possible; and

(v) the Members shall not engage in any communications with an Expert except in response to formal requests by an Expert or at proceedings scheduled by an Expert.

All decisions of the Expert, absent fraud, willful misconduct or demonstrated conflict of interest, are final and binding on the Members (without appeal or review) and are enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction. During the pendency of the Expert resolution proceedings, the Parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of an Expert. The Members shall otherwise bear their own costs and expenses of the Expert resolution proceedings, including each Member’s respective attorneys’ fees and costs.

(b) In the event that the Members are unable to mutually agree on any other dispute which expressly provides for resolution under this Section 9.11, such dispute shall be settled as follows:

(i) The Members shall work together in good faith and a spirit of mutual cooperation to attempt to resolve the applicable arbitrable dispute for a period of ten (10) business days after notice from one Member to the other referencing this Section 9.11(b)(i) (the “Discussion Period”); and

(ii) If within the Discussion Period the Members fail to resolve the applicable arbitrable dispute, then either Member may promptly thereafter file an arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and upon the issuance of a judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) thereunder, such judgment may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All arbitration proceedings and hearings shall occur in New York, New York.

For avoidance of doubt, any failure by Managing Member and Co-Managing Member to approve the Major Decisions, except for Section 9.4(b)(iii), shall not constitute a dispute for which arbitration under this Section 9.11 is available.

(c) Within ten (10) days after the commencement of arbitration, the parties shall attempt to mutually agree upon a single person to act as arbitrator. If the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator within such ten (10) day period, then, within twenty (20) days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one person to act as arbitrator and the two selected shall select a third arbitrator within five (5) days of their appointment. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Should this selection

procedure fail for any reason, the arbitrators shall be appointed as provided in the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator(s) selected should be competently knowledgeable in the subject matter of the dispute.

(d) The arbitrator(s) shall award reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses to the prevailing party, if a prevailing party, if any, can be reasonably identified. The arbitrator(s) shall make its/their determination in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (or Delaware, in the case of decisions involving this Agreement and/or corporate laws generally). The arbitrator(s) shall make specific, written findings of fact and conclusions of law.

(e) A party may apply to the arbitrator(s) seeking injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved. A party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitration tribunal (or pending the arbitration tribunal’s determination of the merits of the controversy).

(f) Each party to this Agreement agrees that it may be joined as an additional party to an arbitration involving other parties to this Agreement. If more than one arbitration is begun under this Agreement and any party contends that two or more arbitrations are substantially related and that the issues should be heard in one proceeding, the arbitrator(s) selected in the first-filed of such proceedings shall determine whether, in the interests of justice and efficiency, the proceedings should be consolidated before those arbitrator(s).

(g) The filing of an arbitration proceeding by any Member shall not at any time (i) prohibit, limit or otherwise adversely affect the rights of either Member to deliver a Buy-Sell Notice and exercise its rights under Section 10.3 or (ii) prohibit or otherwise adversely affect the rights of any Member to initiate and close a Transfer, right of first offer, buy-sell or any other rights under Article 10.

9.12 Execution of Documents. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement (including, but not limited to, Sections 9.3 and 9.4), each check, contract, deed or act of sale or similar conveyance document, lease, promissory note, mortgage, escrow instruction, bond, release or any other documents of any nature whatsoever, in any way pertaining to the Company shall be signed by Managing Member or the person or persons designated from time to time by Managing Member, provided that, the Members agree and acknowledge that CWI shall have the sole authority to take all actions and issue any such documents and have signing authority on behalf of “owner,” in connection with any and all matters under the Hotel Management Agreement and the Project Management Agreement. Managing Member shall have the authority to sign all documents required to be signed under the Hotel Management Agreement and the Project Management Agreement; provided, however, either such party must obtain the prior written consent of the Members with respect to any Major Decisions.

9.13 Liability/Indemnification.

(a) Managing Member, Co-Managing Member, and their respective Affiliates, and their respective partners, members, shareholders, other principals, directors,

officers, employees, agents and other representatives (collectively, the “Managing Parties”) shall not be liable, responsible or accountable, in damages or otherwise, to any Member or to the Company for any act performed by them (in good faith) within the scope of the authority conferred upon them by this Agreement, except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Company shall, out of Company assets (but not the assets of any Members), indemnify and hold the Managing Parties harmless for any act performed by them within the scope of the authority conferred upon them, except for (i) fraud; (ii) willful misconduct; (iii) gross negligence; or (iv) acts or omissions which are beyond the scope of its authority hereunder (and which were taken without a good faith belief the same were within such scope of authority hereunder). Except to the extent that any Member incurs loss or damage caused by the act or omissions under clauses (i) through (iv) above, the Company shall, out of Company assets (but not the assets of any Members), indemnify and hold the AM Parties and the CWI Parties harmless from and against any personal loss or damage incurred by them arising from any act performed by them for and on behalf of the Company or arising out of any business of the Company.

(b) An indemnitee (an “Indemnitee”) who desires to make a Claim against an indemnitor (an “Indemnitor”) under this Section 9.13 shall notify the Indemnitor of the claim, demand, action or right of action which is the basis of such Claim within twenty (20) calendar days of discovering such claim, and shall give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense thereof. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent of any actual prejudice resulting therefrom. Any cash distributions to which the Indemnitor would otherwise be entitled under this Agreement shall be reduced by any amounts the Indemnitor is required to pay pursuant to this Section 9.13, and instead shall be paid to the Indemnitee entitled to indemnity, up to the full amount of the indemnity obligation.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if any event gives rise to an Indemnity Obligation, CWI shall have the right to exercise all rights and remedies available at law or in equity with respect thereto (including, without limitation, the right to recover actual, consequential or other damages, the right to offset and retain for its own right and benefit any and all amounts to be distributed, paid, reimbursed, and/or advanced to AM under this Agreement); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or elsewhere, in no event shall either Member be liable for any claim for opportunity costs resulting from the transactions set forth in this Agreement (in avoidance of doubt, any Claim for losses by CWI shall include any actual value of the Hotel that is permanently lost (to the extent such losses can be reasonably measured) as a result of any matters for which AM would be liable or CWI would otherwise be indemnified for under this Agreement).

9.14 TRS SUB Directors.

(a) The Members acknowledge that the initial directors of the TRS SUB are Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxx. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for so long as (a) CWI maintains an indirect ownership interest in the TRS SUB, CWI shall have the right to appoint three (3) of the five (5) directors of the TRS SUB that the Company is entitled to appoint at

CWI and AM shall have the right to cause the Company to vote to replace any of their respective representatives, in their sole and absolute discretion, at any time by delivering written notice to the Managing Member setting forth the identity of such replacement director, provided that each director of the TRS SUB shall hold office until a successor is elected and qualified or until such appointed director resigns or is removed. The Members and the Company shall not enter into any agreement, arrangement or understanding inconsistent with the foregoing.

(b) Subject to Section 5.5, the Company shall vote or cause to be voted all of its shares of stock in the TRS SUB or take any other action necessary for the removal of any member of the board of directors of the TRS SUB upon the request of the Member then entitled to nominate such member to the board of directors as set forth in this Section 9.14(a) above, and for the election to the board of directors of an individual designated by such Member in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Company shall vote all of its shares of stock in the TRS SUB in such manner or take any other action as shall be necessary or appropriate to ensure that any vacancy on the board of directors occurring for any reason shall be filled only in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.14(b).

This Section 9.15 is being adopted to comply with certain provisions necessary to qualify the Company as a “special purpose” entity and in connection therewith, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other document governing the formation, management or operation of the Company, until such time as the outstanding principal balance of the Loan has been paid in full, the Members covenant and agree that the Company has not and shall not:

10. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER; NEW MEMBERS.

10.1 Limitations on Transfers. Except as set forth in Sections 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, no Member shall, for any reason, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, Transfer all or any of such Member’s Membership Interest, without the prior unanimous written consent of the Members. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Transfer not expressly permitted in this Agreement shall be null and void and of no legal effect. A transferee of a Membership Interest shall have the right to become a substitute Member only if (i) unanimous consent of the Members is given; (ii) such Person executes an instrument satisfactory to Managing Member accepting and adopting the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) such Person pays any reasonable expenses in connection with such Person’s admission as a substitute Member. The admission of a substitute Member shall not release the Member who assigned the Membership Interest from any liability that such Member may have to the Company.

10.2 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.1, but subject to the restrictions imposed by Lender (or any future lenders), the Members hereby consent to any Transfer to a Permitted Transferee. For avoidance of doubt, with respect to CWI, any encumbrance, gift, assignment, pledge, hypothecation, sale or other transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any direct or indirect interest in CWI by the respective direct and/or indirect owner in CWI shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Agreement and shall be permitted without the consent of any Member.

10.3 Buy/Sell.

(a) Thirty (30) days following receipt of a written request for the approval of any Major Decision set forth in Section 9.4(b)(i) or (ii), if an Impasse is continuing, either Member (the “Offering Member”) may, in its sole and absolute discretion, deliver written notice (the “Buy-Sell Notice”) to the other Member (the “Responding Member”), proposing a Total Value which would be the basis for calculating the applicable price (“Applicable Price”) at which the Offering Member is willing to either (i) sell to the other Member all of the Offering Member’s Membership Interest; or (ii) purchase from the other Member all of the other Member’s Membership Interest. The Buy-Sell Notice shall be accompanied by a letter or other statement signed by a bank or trust company confirming that the Offering Member has deposited with such bank or trust company the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Deposit”). The Responding Member shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt of the Buy-Sell Notice in which to elect, by written notice to the Offering Member (the “Response Notice”), to either (A) purchase all of the Membership Interest of the Offering Member at the Applicable Price; or (B) sell all of the Responding Member’s Membership Interest to the Offering Member at the purchase price that would be payable by the Offering Member if the Responding Member elects to sell all of the Responding Member’s Membership Interest to the Offering Member (the “Responding Member’s Purchase Price”) based on the amount the Responding Member would receive if the assets of the Company were sold for an amount equal to the Total Value, all third party liabilities were repaid and the balance was paid and/or distributed pursuant to Section 8.2. A Response Notice electing to purchase the Offering Member’s Membership Interest shall include a letter or other statement signed by a bank or trust company confirming that the Responding Member has deposited (or caused to be deposited) with such bank or trust company the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); thereupon, the Deposit previously made by the Offering Member shall be returned to the Offering Member by the bank or trust company with which the Offering Member shall have deposited the Deposit. The failure of the Responding Member to duly and timely give a Response Notice shall constitute its election to sell all of its Membership Interest to the Offering Member at the Applicable Price. Unless otherwise approved in writing by the Members, such purchase and sale shall be consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date Responding Member (1) delivers a Response Notice, or (2) if the Responding Member fails to give the Offering Member a Response Notice in accordance with this Section 10.3, is deemed to have elected to sell all of its Membership Interest to the Offering Member (the “Closing Date”), and in either such event the Members shall negotiate and work together in a spirit of good faith and mutual cooperation to enter into the transfer documents, including a deed or act of sale, xxxx of sale and other such instruments of transfer as shall be reasonably requested by the purchasing Member. Time is of the essence with respect to the closing of the sale contemplated herein on or before expiration of such one hundred twenty (120) day period. One hundred percent (100%) of

the purchase price for the Membership Interest being sold or purchased shall be payable at the Closing Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof to the contrary, any purchasing Member shall not be required to close on the purchase of any Membership Interest in accordance with this Section 10.3 unless the representations and warranties of the selling Member as set forth in Section 10.6 shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date, and the selling Member shall deliver a certificate to such effect to the purchasing party dated as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that it shall be made clear that as to the condition or prospects for the Company, the selling Member is selling its Membership Interest on an “as-is, where-is” basis. If the purchasing Member fails to complete the purchase on or before the Closing Date (other than as a result of the selling Member’s default), then (i) the Deposit deposited by the purchasing Member shall be forfeited by the purchasing Member and shall be paid over to the selling Member by the institution holding such Deposit; (ii) the selling Member shall have one hundred twenty (120) days to elect to become the purchasing Member and purchase the other Member’s Membership Interest at ninety percent (90%) of the Applicable Price or the Responding Member’s Purchase Price (as applicable); and (iii) such defaulting Member may be stripped of certain rights, powers and/or authority as expressly set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, such defaulting Member’s removal as Managing Member). All closings shall be conducted through an escrow agreement established by the Members with a title insurer, and shall take place at the office of the Company. Each Member shall pay one-half of the cost of escrow, together with all of its own attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such buy-sell transaction; provided, however, that any exit fees, prepayment fees and/or other loan costs required to be paid by the Company for debt held by the company prior to the Closing Date and incurred as the direct result of such buy-sell transaction shall be paid by the purchasing Member (otherwise such fees, costs and/or expense shall be funded by the Members pro rata based on their respective Participation Percentage as of the date prior to the buy-sell transaction); provided further, that any and all fees, costs and/or expenses in connection with any financing, refinancing or otherwise incurred on or after the Closing Date shall be borne solely by purchasing Member. Either Member purchasing an interest under this Section 10.3 may assign its rights, in the whole or in part, to any Affiliate of such Member (or any other entity for which such Member has an ownership in), provided that no assignment shall relieve the purchasing party from any liability or obligation with respect to such purchase.

(c) In connection with the closing of any purchase of selling Member’s Membership Interest under this Section 10.3, the purchasing Member shall, as a condition to any such buy-sell transaction, (i) cause the selling Member to be released from any and all guarantees issued on behalf of the Company and (ii) cause the outstanding amount (including interest accrued thereon) of any Deficit Loan and/or Member Loan of such selling Member to be paid in full. For avoidance of doubt, the selling Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contributions to the Company from and after the Closing Date.

10.4 Put Right.

(a) Subject to Section 10.4(c), and so long as Operator holds a direct or indirect Membership Interest in the Company, in the event that (and only in the event that): (i) the Hotel Management Agreement is terminated by TRS SUB, and (ii) Operator is replaced as

the hotel manager by an Affiliate of CWI or AREP I Perimeter LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AREP”), as applicable, the Members shall hereby grant Operator the right (the “Put Right”), in its sole and absolute discretion, to cause AM to put all, but not less than all, of Operator’s proportionate share of AM’s direct Membership Interests in the Company (the “Marcus Interest”) (e.g., if AM owns a 43% interest in the Company and Operator owns a 25% interest in AM, the Marcus Interest would be a 10.75% direct interest in the Company) to CWI and AREP (as the remaining member of AM), provided that, Operator’s exercise of the Put Right shall be conditioned upon Operator’s written notice (the “Put Exercise Notice”) being delivered to Managing Member and Co-Managing Member within thirty (30) days after the date the Hotel Management Agreement is terminated (the “Termination Date”). The Put Exercise Notice shall specify a purchase price (the “Put Price”) equal to the fair market value of the Marcus Interest valued as of the Termination Date, as reasonably determined by Operator; provided, however, in the event that Managing Member disputes Operator’s reasonable determination of the fair market value of the Marcus Interest as set forth in the Put Exercise Notice, Managing Member may provide written notice (the “Put Price Dispute Notice”) to Operator of such dispute within fifteen (15) Business Days after Operator’s delivery of the Put Exercise Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, if Operator fails to deliver the Put Exercise Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Operator hereby forever waives its rights under this Section 10.4.

(b) If Managing Member timely delivers a Put Price Dispute Notice within such fifteen (15) Business Days to Operator, then the Put Price shall be equal to the Appraised Value as determined pursuant to Section 10.4(d), provided that, if Managing Member fails to timely deliver a Put Price Dispute Notice within such fifteen (15) Business Days to Operator, then the Put Price shall be conclusively determined to equal the fair market value of the Marcus Interest as set forth in the Put Exercise Notice. The Marcus Interest sold in connection with the exercise of the Put Right shall be allocated between [the other Members] pro-rata based upon the relative Participation Percentage of the other Members at the time of the Put Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of the Marcus Interest (the “Put Closing”) shall be subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below and shall be consummated on a date mutually agreed by Managing Member and Operator, but in any event no later than (x) sixty (60) days after the delivery of the Put Exercise Notice or (y) if applicable, thirty (30) days after the final determination of the Appraised Value of the Marcus Interest in accordance with Section 10.4(d) below (as applicable, the “Put Closing Date”), and the Put Price shall be payable by the other Members at such closing in immediately available funds to Operator.

(i) From the date of delivery of the Put Exercise Notice, Operator shall not Transfer or otherwise permit any lien, encumbrance or other defect in title to be created, filed or recorded against, all or any portion of the Marcus Interest or any interest therein in such manner as to violate any provisions of this Agreement or otherwise impair the ability of Operator to convey the Marcus Interest to the purchasing Members at the closing, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, encumbrances and other defects in title.

(ii) The conveyance of the Marcus Interest shall be made free and clear of any and all liens, claims and encumbrances of any kind, including without limitation, right of other third parties. The Put Closing shall take place on the Put Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the sale/purchase of the Marcus

Interest shall be subject to the condition that, at or prior to the Put Closing, all outstanding principal and accrued interest due with respect to any Member Loans and/or Deficit Loans made pursuant to Section 6.3 or otherwise by the Company or any other Member to AM be repaid in full at or prior to the Put Closing. In connection with the closing of any purchase of the Marcus Interest under this Section 10.4, the remaining Member shall cause Operator or its Affiliate to be released from any and all guarantees issued on behalf of the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event the Hotel Management Agreement is terminated by TRS SUB as the result of Operator’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, Operator shall have no rights under this Section 10.4 including, without limitation, any Put Right.

(d) Appraisal Procedure.

(i) For the purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 10.4, the “Appraised Value” of the Marcus Interest shall be determined by appraisal in the following manner: (i) all appraisers shall be members of the Appraisal Institute or any organization successor thereto; (ii) Managing Member shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Put Price Dispute Notice, appoint an appraiser and give notice of such appointment to Operator; (iii) within twenty (20) days after the receipt of the Put Price Dispute Notice, Operator shall appoint a second appraiser and give notice of the appointment to Managing Member; provided, however, if Operator fails to appoint a second appraiser within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Put Price Dispute Notice, the appraiser appointed by Managing Member shall proceed to make his/her appraisal of the fair market value of the Marcus Interest (valued as of the Termination Date), and the Appraised Value shall be the amount determined by the first appraiser; (iv) each appraiser shall make an independent written appraisal; and (v) the expenses of the first two appraisals shall be borne by Operator or the Company, as applicable based on the party selecting the appraiser, and the expense of any third appraisal shall be divided equally between Operator and the Company.

(ii) If the two appraisers so appointed agree on the Appraised Value, the Appraised Value shall be the amount determined by them. If the two appraisers so appointed do not agree on the Appraised Value, but the difference between the Appraised Value determined by each appraiser is not more than five percent (5%) of the lower of the two appraisals, then the Appraised Value shall be an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the sum of the Appraised Values determined by each appraiser, by (B) two (2). If the two appraisers so appointed do not agree on the Appraised Value, and if the difference between the Appraised Values determined by each appraiser is more than five percent (5%) of the lower of the two appraisals, then the two appraisers shall jointly appoint a third appraiser. If the first two appraisers so appointed shall be unable to agree on the appointment of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after their respective determinations of the Appraised Value, then they shall give written notice of such failure to agree to Operator and Managing Member. If Operator and Managing Member fail to agree on the selection of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the first two appraisers appointed give such notice, then within fifteen (15) days thereafter, either party, upon written notice to the other, may request such appointment by the then-existing President of the Appraisal Institute (or any other organization successor thereto), or in his/her failure to act, may apply for such appointment to the United States District Court for

Delaware. If a third appraiser is appointed as provided herein, he/she shall make his/her valuation of the Marcus Interest within fifteen (15) days after his/her appointment, and the Appraised Value shall be the valuation determined by whichever of the first two appraisers is (in the opinion of the third appraiser) closest in amount to the valuation as determined by the third appraiser. The third appraiser shall make an independent appraisal of the Marcus Interest and compare its findings with the appraisals made by the first two appraisers, and the one that most closely compares with the findings of the third appraiser, shall represent the Appraised Value of the Marcus Interest.

(iii) Each appraiser appointed pursuant to this Section 10.4(d) shall be a disinterested person of nationally recognized competence who has had a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience, ending of the date of appointment, in appraising full-service hotel properties. Each appraiser shall make its determination of the Appraised Value on the basis of all relevant factors affecting fair market value. The party appointing each appraiser shall be obligated, promptly after receipt of the valuation report prepared by the appraiser appointed by such party, to deliver a copy of such valuation report to the other party. If a third appraiser is appointed, the third appraiser shall be directed, at the time of his/her appointment, to deliver copies of his/her valuation report, promptly after its completion, to all parties.

10.5 Further Assurances. It is the intent of the Members that, in the event of any closing of a purchase of Membership Interest under this Article 10, the selling or transferring Member shall fully convey, transfer and assign all of its Membership Interest and any rights associated therewith. Each selling Member agrees that, at any such closing and any time thereafter, upon request of the purchasing Member, the selling Member shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the purchasing Member and the Company such assignments, conveyances, transfers and other instruments and documents, and perform such other acts, as may be reasonably necessary to fully effect the Transfer of the Membership Interest sold or otherwise being Transferred to such Member. Any Member acquiring the Membership Interest of the other Member under this Article 10 may designate its Affiliate and/or a third-party to take the assignment of the Membership Interest to be Transferred to such Member.

10.6 Representations and Warranties of the Members. As of the date of exercise of any rights, and as of the date of closing of any sale of any Member’s Membership Interest pursuant to this Article 10, each of the Members represents and warrants to the Company and the other Member with respect to itself as follows:

(a) Such Member is the lawful owner of and has the full right, power and authority to sell, Transfer and deliver such Member’s Membership Interest which it purports to own, and the sale, Transfer and delivery of such Membership Interest in accordance therewith will Transfer good and marketable title thereto free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, claims or right of the third parties of every kind and nature whatsoever, subject only to the provisions of this Agreement;

(b) The Membership Interest owned by such Member has been duly authorized and is fully paid and non-assessable. There are no existing options, warrants, calls or commitments on the part of any Member or other Person relating to such Membership Interest.

No voting agreements or restrictions of any kind other than those set forth in this Agreement affect the rights of any such Membership Interest or such Member;

(c) Such Member has the right and power to enter into this Agreement and this Agreement has been fully executed and delivered and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of such Member. No consent of any Person not a party to this Agreement and no consent of any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained on the part of such Member in connection with or resulting from the execution or performance of this Agreement; and

(d) Any Member selling its Membership Interest under this Article 10 will deliver to the other Member a certificate dated as of the Closing Date of the applicable sale making the foregoing representations and warranties to such other Member as of the applicable Closing Date.

10.7 No Dissolution. If a Member completes a Transfer of all or any part of its Membership Interest in the Company without complying with the provisions of this Agreement, such action shall not in and of itself cause or constitute a dissolution of the Company.

11. DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP OF THE COMPANY.

11.1 Dissolution of Company. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up upon the happening of any of the following events:

(a) The written agreement of all of the Members to dissolve the Company;

(b) The occurrence of any event that makes it unlawful, impossible or impractical to carry on the Business for a period of more than six (6) months;

(d) The sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets unless such sale involves any deferred payment of the consideration for the sale, in which case the Company shall not dissolve until the last day of the calendar year during which the Company receives the balance of the deferred payment; or

(e) At the time there are no Members unless the Company is continued without dissolution in accordance with the Act.

11.2 Winding Up of the Company.

(a) Upon dissolution of the Company for any of the events described in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of Section 11.1, the Members shall wind up the affairs and liquidate the assets of the Company, in a manner approved by the Members, as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom, to the extent sufficient therefor, when and as received by the Company shall be utilized, paid or distributed in the following order:

(i) First, to creditors, including Members and managers who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof) other than liabilities for which reasonable provision for payment has been made and liabilities for distribution to Members under the Act;

(ii) Second, to establish Cash Reserves and other Company reserves for known and unknown liabilities, provided that any remainder of such withheld amounts shall be distributed to the Members as soon as practicable; and

(iii) Thereafter, the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with Section 8.2.

It is intended that the distributions set forth in this Section 11.2(a) comply with the requirement of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) that liquidating distributions be made in accordance with positive Capital Accounts. However, if the balances in the Capital Accounts do not result in such requirement being satisfied, no change in the amounts of distributions pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be made, but rather, items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit will be reallocated among the Members so as to cause the balances in the Capital Accounts to be in the amounts necessary so that, to the extent possible, such result is achieved.

(b) If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

(c) Upon the approval of the Members, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Section 11.2 may be distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Members for the purpose of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Members from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of Managing Member, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement.

12. BOOKS AND RECORDS; ACCOUNTS AND INSURANCE.

(d) The Members agree that CWI shall have the right, in lieu of any Audited Financial Request, to undertake alternative actions that will satisfy any legal or regulatory requirements of a REIT, and the Company shall bear the cost thereof to the extent of what audited financial statements would have cost.

12.4 Tax Returns; Tax Elections. The Members hereby designate CWI as tax matters partner (the “Tax Matters Partner”) as defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code, and the Members will take such actions as may be necessary, appropriate, or convenient to effect the designation of such Tax Matters Partner. The Tax Matters Partner and the other Member shall use their reasonable efforts to comply with the responsibilities outlined in this Article 12 and in Section 6231 of the Code (including any Regulations promulgated thereunder).

EXHIBIT “B”

SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS

All capitalized terms used in this Exhibit shall have the meanings as set forth in the Agreement.

To conform further the allocation provisions of this Agreement to the Regulations, the Members agree that the following special allocations rules shall apply; provided, however, that in respect of any particular allocation the following rules shall supersede the rules otherwise applicable under Section 7 of the Agreement and this Exhibit only to the extent necessary to cause such allocation to be respected under the Regulations and the remaining portion of such allocation shall not be affected. In the event of any inconsistency between the Regulations and the provisions of the following Sections (a) through (j), the Regulations shall govern.

(a) Loss Limitation Rule. If any allocation of Losses for any Fiscal Year otherwise provided in Section 7 of the Agreement or this Exhibit would (if made) cause or increase a deficit balance in the Capital Account of a Member (determined for this purpose by taking into account such Member’s share of Net Distributable Cash and/or Capital Transaction Proceeds in respect of such Fiscal Year and all other adjustments for such Fiscal Year otherwise required under this Agreement) that exceeds the amount such Member is obligated to restore to the Company pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) or is deemed obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) less the amount of the items described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6), the amount of Losses otherwise allocable to such Member shall be reduced by the minimum amount necessary to eliminate such deficit. Any amount of an allocation denied to a Member under the first sentence of this paragraph (a) of this Exhibit shall be reallocated to the Members whose allocations of Losses for such year (determined under this Exhibit) are not affected by this paragraph, such reallocation to be made pro rata in accordance with each Member’s Participation Percentage.

(b) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If during any Fiscal Year there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (as determined under Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(2)), then items of income and gain of the Company shall be allocated to each Member, for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to each Member’s share of the net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain during such Fiscal Year in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This paragraph (b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in such Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. If a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) (modified, as appropriate, by Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5)) which causes or increases a negative balance in such Member’s Capital Account (determined for this purpose with the adjustments required under Section (a)), such Member will, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), be specially allocated an amount of gross income and/or gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income and gain

for such Fiscal Year) sufficient to eliminate such negative balance as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a deficit in its Capital Account (determined as aforesaid) after all other allocations provided for in Section 7 of the Agreement and this Exhibit have been tentatively made as if this paragraph (c) were not in this Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year of the Company shall be specially allocated to CWI as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(e).

(e) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. The Members Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year of the Company shall be specially allocated to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for such deductions within the meaning of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(1) and 1.752-2 and otherwise as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(f) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. If during any Fiscal Year of the Company there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, each Member with a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent periods) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This paragraph (f) is intended to comply with the “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” chargeback requirement of such Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(g) Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. Solely for purposes of determining a Member’s proportionate share of “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Company profits shall be allocated based on the such Member’s Participation Percentage.

(h) Sections 732(d), 734(b) and 743(b) Adjustments. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Section 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) of the Code is required under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in adjusting Capital Accounts, 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 allocated to the Members in a manner that achieves the adjustments to their respective Capital Accounts that are required to be made pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.

(i) Curative Allocations. The Special Allocations are intended to comply with the requirements of the Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Special Allocations shall be offset with other Special Allocations or with Special Allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section (i). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of Section 7 of the Agreement and this Exhibit (other than the Special Allocations), Managing Member, with the Members’ approval, shall make such offsetting allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it reasonably determines is appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account

balance which such Member would have had if the Special Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 7 of the Agreement. In exercising its discretion under this paragraph (i), Managing Member shall take into account future Special Allocations under paragraphs (b) and (f) of this Exhibit that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Special Allocations previously made under paragraph (d) and (e) of this Exhibit.

(j) Change in Regulations. If any of the specific Regulations upon which the Special Allocations provided for in this Exhibit are based are hereafter changed or if new Regulations in the opinion of the reputable tax counsel retained by the Company make it necessary to revise the foregoing special allocation rules or provide further special allocation rules in order to avoid a significant risk that a material portion of any allocation of Profits, Losses or other tax attributes otherwise provided for in Section 7 of the Agreement would be altered as a result of a challenge thereto by the IRS, the Members agree to make such reasonable amendments to this Agreement as, in the opinion of such counsel, are necessary or desirable, taking into account the interests of the Members as a whole and all other relevant factors, to avoid or reduce significantly such risk to the extent possible without materially affecting the amounts distributable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement.
