If any Member shall make any loan or loans to the Company or advance money on its behalf, the amount of any such loan or advance shall not be treated as a contribution to the capital of the Company but shall be a debt due from the Company. The amount of any such loan or advance by a Member shall bear interest at an annual rate approved by the Managing Member and be repayable out of the Company’s assets on such terms as shall be approved by the Managing Member. The Members agree that the provisions of this Section shall not be used by the Members to make unnecessary loans to the Company for the primary purpose of generating the interest to the lending Member.

The Capital Account of each Member shall consist of cash and the agreed fair market value of property (net of liabilities assumed by the Company and liabilities to which such contributed property is subject) contributed to the Company by each Member which makes up each Member’s original Capital Contribution, increased by:
|
(i) |
any cash and the agreed fair market value of any property (net of liabilities to which such contributed property is subject) contributed as additional contributions to the capital of the Company by each Member; and |
|
(ii) |
(x) with respect to CBL OP, Net Profit (including any Net Profit exempt from tax) from Investment Property, or (y) with respect to CBL Management, Net Profit from Outparcels; |
and decreased by:
|
(i) |
any cash and the agreed fair market value of any property (net of liabilities to which such distributed property is subject) distributed property is subject) distributed by the Company to each Member; |
11
|
(ii) |
(x) with respect to CBL OP, Net Loss from Investment Property, or (y) with respect to CBL Management, Net Loss from Outparcels; and |
|

(b) The foregoing provisions and any other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations. In the event that the Managing Member shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto (including, without limitation, any debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Company or the Members) are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the Managing Member may make such modification, provided, that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amount distributable to any Member upon the dissolution and liquidation of the Company. The Managing Member also shall make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).
ARTICLE IX
9.1 Distributions. The Managing Member shall cause the Company to make distributions of Net Cash Flow to the Members on the following priority:
|
(i) |
Net Cash Flow from sale of Outparcels to CBL Management, |
|
(ii) |
Net Cash Flow from Investment Property to CBL OP |
provided, however, that to the extent that proceeds from the sale of Outparcels have been used to pay indebtedness of the Property, then Net Cash Flow, regardless of the source, shall be distributed to CBL Management to the extent of the amount it would have received in connection with the sale of any such Ourparcel, less an amount equal to the product of (I) the amount of Property Owner indebtedness paid by Outparcel sale proceeds multiplied by (II) the product of (x) the Company’s percentage ownership interest in the Property Owner and (y) CBL Management’s Ownership Percentage. In the event Property Owner’s lender requires that Net Cash Flow from Investment Property pay down any Property Owner indebtedness then the above provisions would work in reverse to distribute additional Net Cash Flow to CBL OP, substituting “CBL OP’s Ownership Percentage” for “CBL Management’s Ownership Percentage” in the immediately preceding sentence.
