In connection with such financing, each Member shall provide the applicable lender with such customary financial and other information regarding the business of each Member and its Affiliates and the Company as such lender may reasonably request. If the Company obtains such financing, then the Xxxxx Member and BMDC shall execute and deliver to the lender in connection therewith such documentation as the applicable lender may reasonably request including, but not limited to, a legal opinion as to such matters as the lender may reasonably request, and a consent to, or acknowledgment of, the granting of a security interest in the Company’s Assets.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the extent provided for in the Development Plan or otherwise approved by the Members, in the event that a Member or its Affiliate agrees to enter into any guaranty, indemnity or other agreement for the benefit of any such lender (including, without limitation, a completion guaranty, a recourse indemnity agreement, and/or an environmental indemnification agreement), then any and all amounts payable under such agreement shall be treated as incurred by the Company and shall be payable by the Company (directly or as a reimbursement for any amounts paid by the Member or its affiliate under the agreement) as provided herein, and the Members shall be obligated to make Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 to discharge the same.

3.3 Capital Contributions Incident to Operations.

(i) In the case of any Monetary Default occasioned by the Defaulting Member’s failure to fulfill its obligations under Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to institute suit for collection of such Monetary Default, together with (y) interest thereon from the date on which such payment thereof was due until it is paid, computed at a rate equal to the lesser of (A) Prime Rate, plus 5 percentage points or (B) the highest rate allowed by law and (z) all reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and court costs that may have been incurred by reason of or in connection with such Monetary Default.

(ii) In the case of any Monetary Default which continues for a period of 5 business days following written notice thereof (in addition to the initial notice of such request for funds), the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right to make the Capital Contribution which the Defaulting Member declined to make. In such event, the Interest of the Defaulting Member in the Company shall be reduced automatically by that portion (the “Defaulted Portion”) equal to the product determined by multiplying (i) the Defaulting Member’s HorizontalOwnership Percentage by (ii) the Default Fraction, and the Non-Defaulting Member’s Interest shall be increased by the same amount. For purposes of adjusting and maintaining the balances of the Capital Accounts of the Defaulting Member and the Non-Defaulting Member, (A) the amount contributed to the Company by the Non-Defaulting Member to replace the Capital Contribution which the Defaulting Member declined to make shall be deemed to have been contributed to the Company by the Defaulting Member and shall increase the balances of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account, (B) the balance of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account (determined with regard to the adjustments required by clause (A) above) shall be debited (reduced), but not below zero, by an amount equal to the product determined by multiplying the balance of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account (determined with regard to the adjustments required by clause (A) above) by the Adjustment Percentage, (C) the balance of the Non-Defaulting Member’s Capital Account shall be credited (increased) by an amount equal to the product determined by multiplying the balance of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account (determined with regard to the adjustments required by clause (A) above, but without regard to any adjustments required by clause (B) above) by the Adjustment Percentage (provided, however, that the balance of the Non-Defaulting Member’s Capital Account shall not be credited by an amount greater than the amount by which the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account was debited pursuant to clause (B) above). Following the contribution by the Non-Defaulting Member of the Capital Contribution that the Defaulting Member declined to make, (D) the Non-Defaulting Member’s HorizontalOwnership Percentageshall equal the lesser of one hundred percent (100.0%) or the sum of (y) the Non-Defaulting Member’s HorizontalOwnership Percentage (determined immediately prior to the Non-Defaulting Member’s contribution of the Capital Contribution that the Defaulting Member declined to make) and (z) the Defaulted Portion of the Defaulting Member’s Interest in the Company, and (E) the Defaulting Member’s HorizontalOwnership Percentage shall equal the excess, if any, of (y) one hundred percent (100.0%), over (z) the Non-Defaulting Member’s HorizontalOwnership Percentage (determined immediately following the Non-Defaulting Member’s purchase pursuant to clause (D) above).

(iii) In the case of a Monetary Default by either Member, the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right to undertake any action described in Section 4.4 without the prior written consent of the Defaulting Member during such time as the Monetary Default in question remains uncured; provided, however, that the consent of the Defaulting Member shall still be required with respect to the following (the “Defaulting Member Approval Rights”): any amendment to this Agreement. Without limitation upon the foregoing, the Non-Defaulting Member shall, during such time as such Monetary Default remains uncured, have the power and authority to borrow from third parties (upon the approval of only the Non-Defaulting Members) all or a portion of the amounts of the Monetary Default necessary to develop and/or operate the Project, to secure such borrowings by a mortgage encumbering all or a portion of the Project, and to apply all or a portion of the proceeds of such borrowings to reimburse Manager for any amounts advanced by it to the Company to defray Company or Project expenses, to the extent that such advances were reasonable in amount and were necessitated by the Monetary Default in question.

(iv) In the case of any Monetary Default by either Member, the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right to advance to the Company an amount of money equal to the Monetary Default of the Defaulting Member, which advance shall be considered to be a loan from the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member (a “Defaulting Member Loan”). Such loan shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, plus five percentage points (unless such rate exceeds the highest lawful rate, in which event the rate charged hereunder shall be the highest lawful rate), and shall be repayable from that portion of each distribution or payment made to the Members pursuant to Sections 6.6, 9.2, 11.3 and 12.2 hereof that would have been distributed or paid to the Defaulting Member had the Defaulting Member made the contribution to the Company that was required of (but not made by) it. For purposes of adjusting and maintaining the balance of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account, (A) the amount of any Member Loan made by the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member pursuant to this Section 3.5(a)(iv) by reason of the Defaulting Member’s failure to fulfill its obligations under Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been contributed to the Company by the Defaulting Member and shall increase the balance of the Defaulting Member’s Capital Account, and (B) the amount of any distribution or payment otherwise payable to the Defaulting Member that is paid to the Non-Defaulting Member in repayment of a Member Loan made by the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (iv) shall be treated as if such amount had actually been distributed or paid to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Article VI, Article IX, Article XI, or Article XII, as the case may be.

(v) In the case of any Monetary Default by either Member under Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, the Non-Defaulting Member may exercise the Defaulting Event Remedies permitted under Article XII.

(b) The remedies provided by this Section 3.5 and Article XII for Monetary Defaults by the Members shall be exclusive.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Xxxxx Member nor BMDC shall have any personal liability for the obligations of such Member under this Article III to the other except each Member’s obligation to fund Capital Contributions under Section 3.2(a).

3.6 Member Loans. Either Member, with the consent of the other Member, may elect under this Section 3.6 to loan funds to the Company or to cause such a loan to be made by an Affiliate of either Member. Any such loan by a Member or an Affiliate is herein called a “Member Loan”. Each Member Loan shall accrue interest on unpaid principal at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) three percent (3.0%)above the Prime Rate and (ii) the maximum non-usurious rate allowed by applicable law. Member Loans shall not be considered Capital Contributions.

(a) A Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member, which account shall be increased (credited) by (i) the amount of money and the fair market value of property contributed and deemed contributed by such Member to the Company (net of liabilities secured by such property that the Company is considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code), and (ii) the amount of income and gain (or items thereof) of the Company allocated to such Member, including income and gain exempt from tax and gain described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding income and gain described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i); and decreased (debited) by (iii) the amount of money and the fair market value of property distributed to such Member (net of liabilities secured by such property that such Member is considered to assume or take subject to under section 752 of the Code), (iv) such Member’s distributive share of expenditures of the Company described in section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (v) the amount of loss and deduction (or items thereof) of the Company allocated to such Member, including loss and deduction described in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), but excluding items described in clause (iv) above and loss and deduction described in Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) or 1.704-1(b)(4)(iii), and otherwise adjusted in accordance with the additional rules set forth in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). In addition, a Member’s Capital Account may be adjusted as provided in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 hereof. The Capital Accounts of all Members shall be adjusted as required under Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), as applicable, to reflect any aggregate net adjustment to the values of Company assets as permitted by the Code or the relevant Regulations.

(b) A single Capital Account shall be maintained for each Member, which Capital Account shall reflect all allocations, distributions, or other adjustments required by this Article VI with respect to Company interests owned by such Member, regardless of whether such Member owns more than one class of Company interest.

(c) If, pursuant to Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), Company property is reflected on the books of the Company at a book value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, the Members’Capital Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with respect to such property.

6.2 Allocation of Net Income and Net Loss

(a) Net Income shall be allocated as follows:

(i) First, to the Members to the extent of the excess of the Accumulated Preference Return, over the aggregate Net Income theretofore allocated to such Member pursuant to this clause (i).

(ii) Second, to the Members in the amount by which (a) the aggregate amount of the distributions theretofore received by the Members pursuant to Sections 6.6(c) and 6.6(d) exceeds (b) the aggregate Net Income theretofore allocated to such Member pursuant to clause (i) and this clause (ii) of this Section 6.2(a).

(iii) Third, to the Members in accordance with their Capital Return Percentages to the extent that when allocated the Net Income would reduce a Cumulative Net Loss but only to the extent of the excess of (A) the Net Loss allocated pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(iii), over (B) the Net Income previously allocated pursuant to this clause (iii) of this Section 6.2(a).

(iv) Fourth, sixty percent (60.0%) to BMDC and forty percent (40.0%) to the Hines Member to the extent of the excess of (A) $1,375,000, over (B) the sum of (I) the aggregate Net Income previously allocated pursuant to this clause (iv) of this Section 6.2(a), and (II) the aggregate Net Loss allocated pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(ii).

(ii) Second, to the Members in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Cumulative Net Income allocated to the Members pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 6.2(a), over (B) the aggregate Net Loss previously allocated to the Members pursuant to this clause (ii) of Section 6.2(b).

(iii) Third, to the Members in accordance with their Capital Return Percentages to the extent that when allocated the Net Loss would add to a Cumulative Net Loss.

6.3 Limitations and Qualifications Regarding Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, Net Income and Net Loss of the Company (or items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, as the case may be) shall be allocated in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 6.3 to the extent such provisions shall be applicable.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6.2 hereof, but subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) or (5), if there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain of the Company during any Company fiscal year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain, within the meaning of Regulations section 1.704-2(g)(2). The Minimum Gain chargeback shall consist first of income and gain from the disposition of Company Assets subject to nonrecourse liabilities of the Company, with the remainder of the Minimum Gain chargeback, if any, made up of a pro rata portion of the Company’s other items of income and gain for such year, and shall be determined in accordance with Regulations sections 1.704-2(f)(6), 1.704-2(g)(2) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), or any successor provisions. If such income and gain from the disposition of Company Assets exceeds the amount of the Minimum Gain chargeback, a proportionate share of each item of such income and gain shall constitute a part of the Minimum Gain chargeback. The provisions of this Section 6.3(a) are intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Regulations section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith for all purposes under this Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of Section 6.2 hereof or this Section 6.3 other than Section 6.3(a), but subject to the exceptions referenced in Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Member that has a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(5), as of the beginning of such year shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for succeeding years) equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) or any successor provision. The provisions of this Section 6.3(b) are intended to comply with the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback requirement of Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) If any Member receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for such year) shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate as quickly as possible the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member, if any, to the extent required by the Regulations. The provisions of this Section 6.3(c) are intended to comply with the “qualified income offset”requirement of Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith for all purposes under this Agreement.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions of the Company for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with the allocation of Net Income or Net Loss for such fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.2 of this Agreement. Member Nonrecourse Deductions of the Company for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss for the liability in question. The provisions of this Section 6.3(d) are intended to satisfy the requirements of Regulations sections 1.704-2(e)(2) and 1.704-2(i)(1) and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith for all purposes under this Agreement.

(e) No net loss shall be allocated to a Member pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof to the extent that such loss would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year. Instead, any such loss shall be allocated to each other Member to the extent that such allocation would not cause such other Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(f) Net Income and Net Loss of the Company shall not be allocated in accordance with Section 6.2 hereof or any paragraph of this Section 6.3 other than this paragraph (f) if and to the extent that any such allocation would cause the Company’s allocations not to have substantial economic effect for purposes of section 704(b)(2) of the Code under the economic effect equivalence test set forth in Regulations section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(i), and any such Net Income and Net Loss shall instead be allocated to and among the Members in the amounts and in the manner necessary to cause the Company’s allocations to comply with such economic effect equivalence test. For purposes of this Section 6.3(f) only, it shall be assumed that no Member is obligated to contribute to the Company any cash or property to eliminate the deficit balance existing in its Capital Account upon the liquidation of the Company except to the extent that such Member is personally liable under law or by contract to satisfy a Company liability.

(g) The allocations set forth in this Section 6.3 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in making allocations among the Members of Net Income and Net Loss (and items thereof) of the Company other than the Regulatory Allocations such that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Income and Net Loss (and items thereof) other than the Regulatory Allocations, together with the Regulatory Allocations, shall equal the net amount that would have been allocated to and among the Members had the Regulatory Allocations not occurred.

(h) It is intended that the allocations set forth in Section 6.2 satisfy the substantial economic effect requirement of section 704(b) of the Code. However, in the event that counsel to the Company or any Member determines that such requirements are not satisfied, the Manager shall modify such allocations in order to comply with such requirements.

6.4 Contributed Property. In accordance with section 704(c) of the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the Company (or any predecessor thereto) shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company (or any predecessor thereto) for federal income tax purposes and the fair market value of such property for federal income tax purposes at the time of contribution. In addition, in the event that any asset of the Company is revalued pursuant to the provisions of section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction for tax purposes with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such assets for federal income tax purposes and its adjusted value, in the same manner as under section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations. In making the adjustments required by section 704(c) of the Code and this Section 6.4, the Company shall elect to use the traditional method with curative allocations within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.704-3(c).

6.5 Allocation of Items with Respect to Interests Transferred. If any Interest is transferred during any fiscal year, the Net Income and Net Loss attributable to such interest for such fiscal year will be divided and allocated proportionately between the transferor and the transferee by taking account of their varying interests in the Company during such fiscal year on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by Manager, using any method permitted by section 706 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder.

6.6 Distribution of Company Available Cash Flow. Company Available Cash Flow shall be distributed (subject to any amounts reserved by the Manager) no less frequently than quarterly as follows:

(a) First, to repay all indebtedness of the Company including any Member Loans but excluding Land Note;

(b) Second, to establish reserves authorized pursuant to the Development Plan or an Approved Annual Plan;

(c) Third, to the Members in accordance with their Capital Return Percentages until each Member has received its accrued and unpaid Preference Return;

(d) Fourth, to the Members in accordance with their Capital Return Percentages until each Member has received its accrued and unpaid Accumulated Preference Return;

(e) Fifth, to the Members in accordance with their Capital Return Percentages until each Member has received its Outstanding Capital Contribution balance;

(f) Sixth, to repay the Land Note in full (including accrued interest thereon);

(g) Seventh, sixty percent (60.0%) to BMDC and forty percent (40.0%) to the Hines Member until the Hines Member has received an aggregate amount of $550,000.00 pursuant to this Section 6.6(g); and

(h) Eighth, to the Members in accordance with their Horizontal Ownership Percentages.

(b) Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, each Member agrees not to withdraw from the Company without the prior written consent of the other Member.

9.2 Liquidation.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, upon the dissolution of the Company no further business shall be conducted except for the taking of such action as shall be necessary for the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the distribution of its assets to the Members pursuant to the provisions of this section. In such event, a liquidating trustee shall be appointed as follows: Each Member shall select an advisor and the advisors shall select a third person to serve as liquidating trustee. The liquidating trustee shall have full authority to wind up the affairs of the Company and to make final distribution as provided herein.

(b) Upon the dissolution of the Company, the liquidating trustee shall sell the Company Assets at the best price available, or, with the consent of all Members, the liquidating trustee may distribute those assets in kind; provided, however, that the liquidating trustee shall ascertain the fair market value by appraisal or other reasonable means of the Company Assets to be distributed in kind, and each Member’s Capital Account shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, as if such asset had been sold for cash at such fair market value and the net gain or net loss recognized thereby had been allocated to and among the Members in accordance with Article VI above. All of the Company Assets shall be so applied and distributed by the liquidating trustee on or before the later to occur of (x) the end of the taxable year in which the dissolution of the Company occurs, (y) the date that is 90 days following the date upon which substantially all of the Company Assets are sold or otherwise disposed of by the Company, or (z) the date that is 90 days following the date any other event of dissolution occurs, and in the following order:

(i) First, to the creditors of the Company;

(ii) Second, to setting up the reserves that the liquidating trustee may deem reasonably necessary for contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company; and

(iii) Finally, in the manner provided in Section 6.6, as applicable.

(c) The liquidating trustee shall comply with any requirements of the Act or other applicable law, except as modified by this Agreement in the manner permitted by the Act, pertaining to the winding up of a limited liability company, at which time the Company shall stand liquidated.

9.3 Liquidation of a Member’s Interest. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of the liquidation of an Interest other than in connection with the liquidation of the Company, the Company shall distribute to such Member (the “Liquidating Member”) in liquidation of its interest cash or other assets with an aggregate value equal to the positive balance in the Liquidating Member’s Capital Account, as adjusted to reflect all allocations to the Liquidating Member as provided in this Section 9.3 and in Article VI hereof. Immediately prior to the distribution described in the preceding sentence, a liquidating trustee, appointed as provided in Section 9.2, shall determine the fair market value of the Company Assets by such reasonable methods of valuation as it may adopt, and all Members’ Capital Accounts shall be charged or credited, as the case may be, as if such assets had been sold at such fair market value and the net gain or net loss recognized thereby had been allocated to and among the Members in accordance with Section 6.2 above. The adjustment described in this Section 9.3 shall take place on or before the later of (i) the end of the taxable year of the Company in which the liquidation occurs or (ii) 90 days after the date of such liquidation.

ARTICLE XI

BUY-SELL PROCEDURES/FORCED SALE

11.1 Buy-Sell Right. (a) At any time during the Buy-Sell Period, either the Xxxxx Member, on the one hand, or BMDC, on the other hand (the actual Member giving such notice being herein called the “Electing Member”), shall have the option (“Buy-Sell Right”) to cause to occur the buy-sell rights under this Article XI by giving written notice thereof to the other Member (the Member receiving such notice being herein called the “Non-Electing Member”).

(b) No notice may be given by any Member at any time that the exercise thereof would constitute a default with respect to any indebtedness of the Company secured by a lien on the Project (unless the holder thereof has theretofore waived such default or the Electing Member in its notice states such indebtedness will be paid in full and demonstrates it has the financial means to do so) or under any lease or other agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it or its assets are bound and which lease or other document was approved by the Members.

(c) If the Buy-Sell Right is exercised, then the Electing Member, in its notice of exercise, shall set forth an all-cash price for the entire Project and other assets (except cash) of the Company (“Price”), taking into account (but not reduced by) all liens, debts and other then-existing liabilities as reflected on the most recent financial statements for the Company and taking into account Section 11.3(iii) below. The Non-Electing Member shall then decide whether (i) the Electing Member will buy the Interest of the Non-Electing Member, or (ii) the Non-Electing Member will buy the Interest of the Electing Member in the Company. If the Non-Electing Member does not give to the Electing Member written notice selecting (i) or (ii) within ninety (90) days after the Electing Member gives notice of exercising the Buy-Sell Right, then the Electing Member may either withdraw its exercise of the Buy-Sell Right or at any time thereafter give written notice of such failure (“Failure Notice”) to the Non-Electing Member and, if the Non-Electing Member has not elected (i) or (ii) within ten (10) days after delivery of such Failure Notice, then the Non-Electing Member will be deemed to have selected (i). Within ninety (90) days (or eighty (80) days in the event a Failure Notice is delivered) after the determination of whether the Electing Member or the Non-Electing Member will buy under (i) or (ii), the Members shall complete such purchase and sale. The price (the “Closing Sum”) the Electing Member under (i) or the Non-Electing Member under (ii) shall pay such non-purchasing Member is the sum the non-purchasing Member would have received under this Agreement if the Project and other assets of the Company (except cash) had been sold for the Price; provided, however, that the expenses of sale shall be disregarded in computing the amount distributable pursuant to Article VI hereof. Subject to the preceding provisions of this Section 11.1, the Buy-Sell Right may be exercised at any time. During the pendency of proceedings under this Article XI, no Member shall make any Transfer of its Interest other than pursuant to the Buy-Sell Right that instituted such proceedings.

11.2 Forced Sale.

(a) In addition to the rights of the parties with respect to the Buy-Sell provisions of Section 11.1 above, at any time after the Buy-Sell Period, either Member (the actual Member initiating a Forced Sale being herein called the “Initiating Member”) shall have the right (the “Forced Sale Right”) to require a sale of the Project by the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 (herein called a “Forced Sale”). The Initiating Member may initiate the Forced Sale by giving a written notice (a “Forced Sale Notice”) signed by the Initiating Member to the other Member (the “Receiving Member”).

(b) The Forced Sale Notice shall specify (i) the Initiating Member’s determination of the all-cash price for the entire Project and other assets of the Company (except cash), taking into account, but not reduced by, all liens, debts and other then-existing liabilities as reflected on the most recent financial statements for the Company (the “Forced Sale Price”), (ii) allocation of closing costs, and (iii) such other material economic terms of such sale as the Initiating Member may propose to the Receiving Member; provided, however, that the terms of such sale must (A) provide for an “as is” sale as of the time the Forced Sale Notice is given, (B) provide for expiration of any representations or warranties (other than a special warranty of title) not more than one (1) year following the closing, (C) provide for closing within 100 days of the date a contract is signed and (D) be subject to no contingencies other than customary due diligence contingencies, such as review of title, survey and environmental matters; provided, however, that acceptable contingencies shall not include those based on further completion of the Project, occupancy, sale or rental achievement.

(c) The Receiving Member shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of notice in writing (referred to herein as an “Election”) to the Initiating Member within ninety (90) calendar days from the date of receipt by the Receiving Member of the Forced Sale Notice (referred to herein as the “Election Date”), to notify the Initiating Member either:

(i) That the Receiving Member is agreeable to the sale of the Project by the Company for a price not less than ninety percent (90.0%) of the Forced Sale Price set forth in the Forced Sale Notice and on other terms no less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Forced Sale Notice; provided, however, that neither the Member nor any of its Affiliates shall qualify as a purchaser under this clause (i) without the written consent of the Initiating Member in its sole discretion; or

(ii) That the Receiving Member elects to buy the Interest of the Initiating Member for a cash purchase price equal to the Initiating Member’s Forced Sale Value (as defined in subparagraph (e) below).

In the event the Receiving Member fails to give the Initiating Member written notice of the Receiving Member’s Election on or before the Election Date, the Initiating Member may either withdraw its Forced Sale Notice or shall give the Receiving Member a final written notice stating that the Election Date has occurred. In the event the Receiving Member fails to give the Initiating Member written notice of the Receiving Member’s Election within ten (10) days following the Receiving Member’s receipt of such final notice, the Receiving Member shall be deemed to have made an Election to agree to sell under Section 11.2(c)(i) above.

(d) In the event of an Election pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(i) above, the agreement to such sale between the Members shall be binding for six months following the date of such election (or deemed election) by the Receiving Member. During such six-month period the Company (and the Members) shall cooperate in good faith to effect such sale by a contract to be executed within such period with closing to occur not later than one hundred (100) days following the date of the execution of the contract of sale. In the event the Initiating Member is not the Manager and is dissatisfied with the marketing efforts undertaken by the Manager to complete the sale of the Project, the Initiating Member may give the Manager written notice of such dissatisfaction, together with a description in reasonable detail of the deficiencies observed and suggestions for resolving the same. In the event such deficiencies have not been rectified within 30 days following the date of such notice, then the Initiating Member shall have the right to act on behalf of the Company in the place of Manager in connection with such sale for the duration of such six-month period and, if applicable, 100-day period prior to closing. In the event that such sale is not consummated as contemplated thereby, the Company shall, at the direction of both Members, exercise any remedies or rights, or satisfy any liabilities, the Company may have with respect thereto, and the Members shall be restored to the status quo ante under this Agreement. The failure of either Member to close or the failure of either Member to cooperate with the effort to sell or to cause the closing to occur once the Project is subject to a contract of sale as required by this Section 11.2(d) shall constitute a Defaulting Event hereunder.

(e) As used herein, a Member’s “Forced Sale Value” shall be equal to the sum the Member would have been entitled to receive had the sale of the Project been closed and consummated on the terms of the Forced Sale Notice and the Company thereafter liquidated in the manner provided in Article IX hereof, assuming the prior allocation of any Net Income or Net Loss in accordance with the terms of this Agreement which would have been recognized by the Company in connection with any sale of the Project for an amount equal to the purchase price provided for in the Forced Sale Notice.

(f) If the Receiving Member agrees or is deemed to have agreed to the sale to a third party pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(i) above, and no such third-party sale is consummated within 180 days following the date of the Receiving Member’s Election or deemed Election, the requirement to sell the Project shall lapse and be of no further force and effect, until and unless a new Forced Sale Notice is given as herein provided.

(g) Closing pursuant to an exercise under Section 11.2(c)(ii) shall be held on or before the date set forth in the Forced Sale Notice.

(h) Subject to the provisions of this Section 11.2 and Section 11.8, a Forced Sale may be instituted at any time.

11.3 Closing. The closing of the purchasing Member’s purchase of the other Member’s Interest pursuant to Section 11.1 or Section 11.2(c)(ii), as applicable, shall be held at the principal office of the Company, at 10 a.m., local time, on such business day within the applicable period for completing the purchase and sale referred to in Section 11.1 or 11.2 hereof as the purchasing Member may select (provided that the purchasing Member shall give to the Company and to the non-purchasing Member notice of such selected date at least ten (10) days prior thereto), or if the purchasing Member shall not select a date for such closing, then on the last day for closing under Section 11.1 or 11.2 (or if such last day shall not be a regular business day, then on the next business day following such last day) (the “Closing Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the purchasing Member may at any time upon not less than ten (10) days’ written notice set a revised Closing Date so long as it is earlier than the original Closing Date. Pending the closing, Manager shall cause the business of the Company to be conducted in the ordinary course and shall not pay or incur any costs, expenses or obligations or accelerate or defer the receipt of any revenues in such a way as to cause the Company Available Cash Flow that is to be distributed on the Closing Date as provided in clause (iii) below or the operating expenses or Company liabilities as of the Closing Date to be materially different from what such would have been as of such date in the absence of the purchase and sale pursuant to this Article XI. At the closing,

(i) the purchasing Member shall pay to the selling Member the difference between (A) the sum of the selling Member’s share of the Company’s income prorated to the Closing Date and (1) the Closing Sum in the event of a Buy-Sell or (2) the Initiating Member’s Forced Sale Value in the event of an election pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(ii), as applicable, and (B) the selling Member’s share of the Company’s expenses prorated to the Closing Date, in cash or by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds completed prior to 2 p.m. local time on the Closing Date. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any closing pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be paid by the Member incurring such costs, and no deductions shall be made from the Closing Sum for deemed closing costs. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Xxxxx Member or BMDC in connection with any closing pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(ii) shall be paid as set forth in the Forced Sale Notice, and the amount payable by the purchasing Member shall be adjusted accordingly.

(ii) the non-purchasing Member shall assign to the purchasing Member or its or their nominees or assignees, with title covenants of general warranty, the entire Company Interest of the non-purchasing Member, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (or, in lieu thereof, the purchasing Member may elect to have the Company convey to it all assets of the Company through appropriate deeds, assignments of leases and the like). Additionally, at the request of the purchasing Member, in order to confirm record title to the assets of the Company, the non-purchasing Member shall convey and transfer to the purchasing Member or its nominee or assignee, by quit claim deed and xxxx of sale, the entire right, title and interest of the non-purchasing Member in and to all assets of the Company;

(iii) there shall be a distribution to the Members of all Company Available Cash Flow in accordance with Section 6.6 hereof, as applicable determined as of the Closing Date; and

(iv) the non-purchasing Member and the purchasing Member shall execute and deliver such other documents as may be reasonably necessary to carry out such transaction.

11.4 Default by Purchasing Member. In the event that the purchasing Member shall default in its obligation to consummate the purchase contemplated by Section 11.1 or Section 12.2(c)(ii) and such failure continues for more than five business days following written notice thereof, then the non-purchasing Member shall, at its option, have the right to (i) (x) in the case of a Buy-Sell pursuant to Section 11.1, become the purchasing Member on the same terms and provisions as were applicable to the purchase that the Defaulting Member failed to close with a ten percent (10.0%) discount on the amount payable or (y) in the case of an election pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(ii), elect to acquire the Defaulting Member’s Interest for an amount equal to ninety percent (90.0%) of the Defaulting Member’s Forced Sale Value (taking into account the adjustments set forth in the first partial sentence of Section 11.3(i)); or (ii) abandon the purchase and sale contemplated by this Article XI and carry forward as if the Buy-Sell Right or Forced Sale Right had not been exercised; or (iii) if it had not been the Electing Member with respect to the Buy-Sell Right or Forced Sale Right that the purchasing Member failed to consummate, then institute the Buy-Sell Right or Forced Sale Right itself; or (iv) pursue any other right or remedy at law or in equity (it being agreed the non-purchasing Member shall have the right to compel specific performance) against the purchasing Member. If the non-purchasing Member shall not have used one or more of the options described in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 11.4 within six (6) months after the default by the purchasing Member, then the non-purchasing Member shall be deemed to have elected option (ii); provided, however, that either Member shall thereafter be entitled to exercise a new Buy-Sell Right or Forced Sale Right, subject to the provisions of Section 11.1 or 11.2, as applicable. Except as provided in the preceding two sentences, the rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative, and the use of any one right or remedy by a Member shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or all of the other rights or remedies available to it.

11.5 Default by Non-purchasing Member. In the event the non-purchasing Member shall default in its or their obligations to consummate the purchase contemplated by this Article XI, then the purchasing Member may (i) abandon the purchase and sale contemplated by this Article XI and proceed as if the Buy-Sell Right or Forced Sale Right or Put Right had not been exercised, (ii) enforce specific performance of the sale contemplated by this Article XI or (iii) exercise any remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.

11.6 Liability After Closing. From and after the consummation of any purchase and sale pursuant to this Article XI, (i) the non-purchasing Member or its Affiliates shall have no obligation or liability (except for title warranties) with respect to matters pertaining to the Company arising on and after the Closing Date, and the purchasing Member shall assume and be responsible for any such liabilities or obligations arising on and after the Closing Date as well as any obligations of the non-purchasing Member’s Affiliate under any indemnity or guaranty relating to the Project as to which the purchasing Member had written notice at the time of its decision to purchase, and (ii) the purchasing Member shall have no obligation or liability with respect to matters pertaining to the Interest so purchased arising prior to the Closing Date. The non-purchasing Member shall indemnify the purchasing Member from and against all of the non-purchasing Member’s obligations under this Agreement arising prior to the Closing with respect to the Interests being conveyed. The purchasing Member shall indemnify the non-purchasing Member from and against all such obligations arising on and after the Closing with respect to the Interests being conveyed.

11.7 Limitation on Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Forced Sale Right may be exercised until all periods for making elections and performing obligations under any previous Buy-Sell Right pursuant to Section 11.1 have elapsed (except for remedies described in Sections 11.4 and 11.5 above in the event of a default). In addition, no Buy-Sell Right may be exercised for a period of 90 days after the date a Forced Sale Notice is given pursuant to Section 11.2. Following the expiration of such 90-day period, either Member may exercise a Buy-Sell Right, provided, however, that no such exercise shall be permitted (i) if prior to such exercise of a Buy-Sell Right, a bona fide offer to purchase the Project on terms at least as favorable as contained in the Forced Sale Notice has been delivered to the Members and thereafter a contract is produced within 60 days from the date of such bona fide offer or (ii) following the Election by a Receiving Member under Section 11.2(c)(ii) (except as provided in Section 11.4).

11.8 No Assignment. Neither Member may assign its rights and obligations under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2 to any third party (other than a successor to such Member’s interest), provided, however, that a Member may freely assign its right to receive a conveyance of all or part of an Interest by delivering notice of such assignment to the other Member.

11.9 Release of Liability. Subject to Section 7.1 of this Agreement, in the event any Member shall sell its entire Interest (other than in a sale of the Project or the entire Interests of all Members), in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement without retaining any interest therein, directly or indirectly (unless such sale was made pursuant to Article VII), then the Selling Member shall be relieved of any further liability arising hereunder for events occurring from and after the date of such Transfer, and such Member and its Affiliates, as applicable, shall be released from any written indemnity or guaranty obligations relating to the Project as to which the purchasing Member had notice at the time of its decision to purchase.

ARTICLE XII

DEFAULTING EVENT REMEDIES

12.1 Election to Purchase Defaulting Member’s Interest. In the event that a Member becomes a Defaulting Member (or purposes of this Article XII only, the term “Defaulting Member” shall refer only to a Member who committed a Defaulting Event or a Monetary Default under Article III) the non-defaulting Member shall have the option to purchase the Interest of the Defaulting Member in the Company, with any such election to be made by the non-defaulting Member giving notice of such election to the Defaulting Member within 30 days after the non-defaulting Member first discovers that the other Member has become a Defaulting Member (and so notifies the Defaulting Member in writing).

12.2 Purchase Price of Defaulting Member’s Interest. If either Member becomes a Defaulting Member, in the event that the non-defaulting Member elects under Section 12.1 to purchase the Defaulting Member’s Interest, the purchase price of such Interest shall be ninety percent (90.0%) of the amount that the Defaulting Member would have received under Section 11.1 if the Price equaled the fair market value of the Project (taking into account the adjustments set forth in the first partial sentence of Section 11.3(i)); provided, however, that the non-defaulting Member shall receive a credit against such purchase price in the amount of any delinquent Capital Contributions due from the Defaulting Member and any expenses of closing such purchase. In the event that the non-defaulting Member elects under Section 12.1 to purchase the Defaulting Member’s Interest, then the Company shall not make any distributions on or before the closing of the purchase of such Interest, and any such distributions which would have been made to the Defaulting Member shall be distributed to the non-defaulting Member on or after the closing. In the event the Members are unable to agree upon the fair market value of the Project within thirty (30) days following the notice given by the non-defaulting Member pursuant to Section 12.1, then FMV of the Project shall be determined. The closing shall be held on a date selected by the non-defaulting Member within 10 business days after the purchase price of the Defaulting Member’s Interest has been determined.

12.3 Suspension of Rights. In addition to all other remedies provided hereunder, except as expressly provided in the Act and except for the Defaulting Member Approval Rights, whenever the vote, consent or decision of the taking of any action of a Member or of the Members is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement, any Defaulting Member (and its successors) shall not be entitled to participate in such vote or consent, or to make such decision or take such action, and such vote, consent or decision shall be tabulated or made as if such Defaulting Member (and its successors) were not a Member.

12.4 Grant of Security Interest.

(a) The Hines Member hereby grants to the Company, as the secured party, a security interest in the Hines Member’s Interest in the Company to secure its obligation to make Capital Contributions pursuant to Article III, and the Company shall have all rights available to a secured party under the Montana Uniform Commercial Code and the laws of the state of organization of the Hines Member. A failure by the Hines Member to make a Capital Contribution pursuant to Article III, which continues for 15 calendar days after written notice thereof, will be a default, and the Company, or the other Member on behalf of the Company, may exercise any remedies permitted by applicable law to enforce the Company’s security interests.

(b) BMDC hereby grants to the Company, as the secured party under the Montana Uniform Commercial Code, a security interest in BMDC’s Interest in the Company to secure its obligation to make Capital Contributions pursuant to Article III, and the Company shall have all rights available to a secured party under the laws of the state of organization of BMDC. A failure by BMDC to make Capital Contributions pursuant to Article III, which continues for 15 calendar days after written notice thereof, will be a default, and the Company, or the other Member on behalf of the Company, may exercise any remedies permitted by applicable law to enforce the Company’s security interests.

(c) Each Member hereby irrevocably appoints each other Member, the Company and the agents, officers or employees of any such party, as its attorneys in fact, coupled with an interest, with full power to prepare and execute any documents, instruments and agreements, and such financing, continuation statements, and other instruments and documents as may be appropriate to perfect, continue and enforce such security interests provided for in this Section 12.4.

12.5 Remedies Exclusive. The option of the non-defaulting Member to purchase the Interest of the Defaulting Member under Section 12.1 and any rights or remedies which the non-defaulting Member or the Company may have under Section 3.5, Section 12.3 and Section 12.4 hereof against or with respect to such Defaulting Member shall be the exclusive remedy of the non-defaulting Member under this Article XII.

If any applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to deem any distribution, contribution, payment or other amount received by a Member or the Company under this Agreement as interest and so as to render any such amount in excess of the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of the Members and the Company that all amounts in excess of the highest lawful rate or amount theretofore collected be credited against any other distributions, contributions, payments or other amounts to be paid by the recipient of the excess amount or refunded to the appropriate Person, and the provisions of this Agreement immediately be deemed reformed, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the payment of the fullest amount otherwise required hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid that are judicially determined to be interest shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the term of such obligation so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such obligation does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted under applicable law.

The Members agree that no Member shall issue any press release concerning formation of the Company or otherwise publicize the terms of this Agreement or the proposed terms of the acquisition by the Company of any assets, without the approval of the Members except as such publicity may be made in the course of normal reporting practices by a Member to its partners, shareholders or members or as otherwise required by law. Furthermore, the Members acknowledge their mutual desire to limit disclosure of the terms of this Agreement, any other agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the parties shall use their good faith efforts to prevent disclosure thereof absent a reasonable business purpose for doing so (such as, by way of example and not by limitation, to demonstrate the financial strength of the Members to potential tenants); provided, however, that any Member may make disclosures if required to do so by applicable law or court order and to such parties attorneys, accountants and other professionals and to potential purchasers and lenders, who have a reasonable need to know such information. Neither Member shall at any time, either during or after the term of this Agreement, use for its own benefit and account (except as provided herein) or for the benefit and account of any other person or entity any tenant lists or financial information relating to the Project.

Once selected or appointed, the Independent Appraiser shall then appraise the value of the Project for the Fair Market Value (considering the items set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value set forth in subsection (a) above) within thirty (30) days of his or her selection/appointment (the “Independent Appraisal”). The Independent Appraiser shall choose the Party Appraisal that is most near in value to the Independent Appraisal.
