ARTICLE III.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

3.1 Contributions.

3.1.1 On the date hereof, each Member has made or is deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Company in the amount set forth opposite such Member’s name on Schedule A-1 hereto (collectively, the “Initial Contributions” and each, an “Initial Contribution”).

3.1.2 In the event that either Member (a “Terminating Member”) shall notify the other Member prior to the expiration of the Financing Contingency Period that it elects to have the Company terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to section 4.3.2 of the Purchase Agreement, then such Terminating Member shall be entitled to a return of its Initial Contribution in cash. If the other Member elects to have the Company not terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to such section 4.3.2 of the Purchase Agreement, then such other Member shall immediately make an additional Capital Contribution to the Company to provide funds to the Company necessary for the Company to return to the Terminating Member its Initial Capital Contribution (without regard to Section 4.1 below), and immediately upon receipt of such funds the Company shall effect such return of capital. If the other Member is also a Terminating Member, then the Company shall return the Initial Capital Contribution of each Terminating Member promptly after the Deposit (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is returned to the Company pursuant to such section 4.3.2 of the Purchase Agreement.

3.2 Additional Capital Contributions.

3.2.1 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall be required or permitted to (i) make any additional Capital Contributions or (ii) make any loan to the Company.

3.2.2 On the Closing Date, (i) the Xxxxxxxx Member shall contribute cash in the amount set forth on Schedule A-2 and (ii) the Gramercy Member shall contribute common stock of Gramercy Capital Corp. (NYSE: GKK) in the amount required under the Purchase Agreement (the “Stock”) and cash in the cumulative amount set forth on Schedule A-2 (collectively, the “Closing Date Contributions” and each, a “Closing Date Contribution”); provided that, if the Company had a Purchase Agreement Termination Right exercisable prior to the Closing and a Member had notified the other Member that such Member elects to have the Company terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to such Purchase Agreement Termination Right within the relevant time period provided in the Purchase Agreement for such termination, then notwithstanding the foregoing such Member shall have no obligation to make any Closing Date Contribution. The Closing Date Contributions shall be used by the Company to pay the purchase price due under the Purchase Agreement, all other costs and expenses incurred or payable by the Company under the Purchase Agreement in connection with the acquisition of the Target Membership Interests, and all other fees and expenses agreed to by the Members. The agreed value of each Closing Date Contribution is set forth on Schedule A-2.

3.2.3 If (i) either Member determines that additional funds are necessary in the event of an Emergency or (ii) either Member determines that additional funds are required (x) to avoid, prevent or cure a default under the Senior Loan, or (y) in connection with the matters described in clause (c) of the definition of “Emergency” hereunder, such Member (the “Advancing Member”), may advance any or all of such additional funds to the Company (an “Emergency Advance”) simultaneously with the Advancing Member’s request for an Additional Capital Contribution (an “Advance Repayment Contribution”) from the other Member in an amount equal to the Emergency Advance multiplied by the non-Advancing Member’s Adjusted Capital Percentage (the “Emergency Contribution”). The Emergency Contribution will be deemed a Default Loan made in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3.3 (but at an interest rate initially equal to the Alternative Rate for the period from the date such Emergency Advance was made until the date that is ten (10) business days after the receipt of the Advance Repayment Contribution request by the non-Advancing Member, and thereafter at the Interest Rate in accordance with Section 3.3.3).

3.2.4 Other than as set forth above in this Section 3.2, the Members shall contribute to the Company as Additional Capital Contributions in accordance with their Adjusted Capital Percentages, funds to the extent requested by the Managing Members for the ownership, development, construction, operation, maintenance, leasing and management of the Properties, within ten (10) days of request by the Managing Members to the Members, but only to the extent such Additional Capital Contribution is expressly provided for (and is to be applied for the purposes and in the amounts set forth) in the Business Plan or the then effective Approved Budget or has otherwise been approved by all Members.

3.3 Effect of Failure to Make a Required Capital Contribution.

3.3.1 If a Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to timely make a Capital Contribution (or any portion thereof) that it is required to make pursuant to Section 3.2, and the other Member (the “Contributing Member”) has made its required Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.2, then the Contributing Member may exercise the rights and remedies set forth in this Section 3.3 by delivery of a written notice of such election to the Company and the Non-Contributing Member. The Members, for themselves and on behalf of the Company, acknowledge and agree that the remedies provided for in this Section 3.3 shall be the sole and exclusive rights and remedies with respect to any failure of a Member to make a Capital Contribution (or any portion thereof) that it is required to make pursuant to this Section 3.3.

3.3.2 If a Member fails to make the Closing Date Capital Contribution it is required to make pursuant to Section 3.2.2 as and when required under Section 3.2.2, the Contributing Member may advance the Non-Contributing Member’s Closing Date Contribution and upon making such advance the Non-Contributing Member shall cease to be a Member (and shall cease to be a Managing Member) of the Company and all right, title and interest of the Non-Contributing Member under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Company (including in respect of any Membership Interest) shall automatically and irrevocably be terminated, and all Capital Contributions theretofore contributed by such Non-Contributing Member (other than its Initial Contribution to the extent returnable to such Member pursuant to Section 3.1.2, and other than any Capital Contributions contributed by such Member prior to the time it elected to have the Company terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the proviso of the first sentence of Section 3.2.2) shall be forfeited and such forfeited Capital Contributions shall thereupon be transferred to the account of the Contributing Member (but shall be used by the Contributing Member to pay the purchase price due under the Purchase Agreement); and any Capital Contributions of such Non-Contributing Member not constituting such forfeited Capital Contributions shall be promptly returned to such Non-Contributing Member without regard to Section 4.1 below and the Contributing Member shall make an additional Capital Contribution to the Company to provide funds to the Company necessary for the Company to return such non-forfeited Capital Contributions to the Non-Contributing Member. Each Member agrees that it is not entitled to make less than the full amount of the Capital Contribution it is required to make pursuant to Section 3.2.2, and any attempt to make a partial Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 3.2.2 shall be rejected by the Company and of no force or effect. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Non-Contributing Member under this Section 3.3.2 is the Gramercy Member, upon making the Gramercy Member’s Closing Date Contribution the Asset Management Agreement with Gramercy Member or its Affiliate shall be terminated.

3.3.3 If a Member fails to make a Capital Contribution (or any portion thereof), other than a Capital Contribution required under Section 3.2.2, the Contributing Member may loan to the Non-Contributing Member, by contributing to the Company on its behalf, all or any part of the amount which the Non-Contributing Member failed to contribute to the Company (each such loan, a “Default Loan”) and such Default Loan shall be treated as an Additional Capital Contribution by the Non-Contributing Member. Subject to Section 3.2.3, each Default Loan shall bear interest at the Interest Rate while the Default Loan is outstanding and be due and payable, together with any accrued interest thereon, in full on or before the third (3rd) anniversary of the date on which such Default Loan was made, provided that prior thereto all distributions of Net Cash Flow which would otherwise be made to the Non-Contributing Member under Section 4.1(a) or Section 7.3.3, as the case may be, shall instead be paid to the Contributing Member towards repayment of the Default Loans owed to such Contributing Member, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, until all such Default Loans and interest are repaid in full. Further, the Non-Contributing Member hereby irrevocably grants to the Contributing Member a continuing, first priority security interest in and lien upon the Non-Contributing Member’s Membership Interest (together with all proceeds thereof and entitlements appurtenant thereto, including, without limitation, all rights to distributions of Available Cash) to secure the repayment of any Default Loan owed by such Non-Contributing Member and the accrued interest thereon and such Contributing Member shall have all rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the Uniform Commercial Code of Delaware, as amended, and any other applicable law. Each Member hereby authorizes the other Member to file any financing statement (and amendments and continuations thereof) as is necessary or such other Member deems desirable to perfect the security interest and lien granted pursuant to the foregoing. So long as a Default Loan is outstanding, the Non-Contributing Member shall have the right to repay the Default Loan (and interest then due and owing), in whole or in part, by sending a written notice to the Contributing Member of its intention to repay such Default Loan, which notice will not be effective unless it contains the amount to be repaid, including interest accrued through the date of repayment, and the date it intends to make such payment, which date must be at least ten (10) days after the date the Contributing Member receives such notice.

3.3.4 At any time after the date that is sixty (60) days after the date that a Default Loan is made, including during the ten (10) day notice period referred to in Section 3.3.3, and at the election of the Contributing Member by written notice to the Company, a Default Loan may be converted (effective immediately upon delivery of such notice to the Company) into an Additional Capital Contribution of the Contributing Member in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) multiplied the principal of and unpaid interest on such Default Loan outstanding at the time of such conversion (each, a “Cram-Down Contribution”). Upon such election, (i) such Default Loan will no longer be outstanding, (ii) the Non-Contributing Member shall be treated as receiving a distribution of its Capital Contributions equal to the principal amount of such Default Loan, (iii) the Contributing Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by amount of the Cram-Down Contribution, and the Non-Contributing Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by an amount equal to the principal and unpaid interest on such Default Loan so converted, and (iv) the Contributing Member shall be deemed to have made an Additional Capital Contribution equal to such Cram-Down Contribution as of the date on which such Default Loan is converted into a Cram-Down Contribution. At the time of a Cram-Down Contribution, the Adjusted Capital Percentage of each of the Contributing Member and the Non-Contributing Member shall be adjusted to reflect the Adjusted Capital Contributions made or deemed made by each Member immediately after giving effect to such Cram-Down Contribution. In no event shall the Non-Contributing Member’s Adjusted Capital Percentage be reduced below zero. Once a Cram-Down Contribution has been made no subsequent payment or tender in respect of that Cram-Down Contribution or the Default Loan shall affect the Adjusted Capital Contributions or the Adjusted Capital Percentages of the Members, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 3.3.4 in relation to that Cram-Down Contribution.

3.3.5 In addition, if a Member fails to make any single Capital Contribution, other than a Capital Contribution required under Section 3.2.2, which is in excess of ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) (which amount in excess of ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) is, for the avoidance of doubt, such Member’s several obligation and not the joint obligation of the Members), such Contributing Member may invoke the sale procedures in Section 6.2 by delivering a Trigger Notice under Section 6.2.1 (and for purposes of Section 6.2.1 no Lockout Period shall apply).

3.3.6 If a Member has made a Capital Contribution under Section 3.2.2, and the other Member failed to make the Capital Contribution it is required to make under Section 3.2.2, then prior to electing to make a Default Loan in respect of such required Capital Contribution of the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to Section 3.3.3, the Contributing Member may withdraw its corresponding Additional Capital Contribution (in which case the Contributing Member shall not be entitled to make such Default Loan in respect of that capital call).

3.4 Capital Accounts, Allocations and Related Matters.

3.4.1 Capital Accounts.

(a) A capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Capital Account balance of each Member as of the date hereof shall be equal to such Member’s Initial Capital Contribution as of the date hereof.

(b) The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) the amount of any cash contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company, (ii) with respect to the Stock contributed by the Gramercy Member, the amount the Stock is valued under the Purchase Agreement as a credit to the purchase price thereunder, (iii) such Member’s share of Net Profits (as determined in accordance with Section 3.5.1) and (iv) any items of Profit allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 3.5.2.

(c) The Capital Account of each Member shall be decreased by (i) the amount of all cash distributions to such Member, (ii) the Book Basis of any property distributed to such Member by the Company (net of liabilities that the Company is considered to assume, or take property subject to), (iii) such Member’s share of Net Losses (as determined in accordance with Section 3.5.1), and (iv) any items of Loss allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 3.5.2.

(d) No Member shall be required to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account except as otherwise provided herein.

(e) In the event that all or a portion of a Membership Interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Membership Interest.

(f) The Capital Account of each Member shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment to the Book Basis of the Company’s assets attributable to the application of Sections 734 or 743 of the Code to the extent and in the manner required pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(g) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the Capital Account balance of any Member, the Capital Account balance of such Member shall be determined after giving effect to all allocations pursuant to Article III and all contributions and distributions made prior to the time as of which such determination is to be made.

3.4.2 Advances from Members. Loans and other advances by Members to the Company will not be deemed a Capital Contribution to, or be reflected on the balance of, any Capital Account, except as provided in Section 3.3. Solely to the extent that any such advance was made to fund an expense authorized pursuant to the terms hereof (including budgets approved in accordance with the terms hereof), the amount of such advance will be a debt due from the Company to such Member and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as agreed between such Member and the Company at the time such funds are advanced, will be repaid as soon as practicable to such Member.

3.4.3 No Interest. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Article IV hereof or Section 3.3 with respect to Default Loans, no interest will be paid by the Company (a) on any Capital Contribution, (b) on the balance of any Capital Account or (c) on any advance to the Company from any Member.

3.5 Allocations and Related Matters.

3.5.1 Allocations of Net Profit and Net Loss. After the application of Section 3.5.2, Net Profit and Net Loss for any taxable year, or portion thereof, shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocation, and after taking into account actual distributions made during such taxable year, or portion thereof, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 7.3.3 hereof if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Basis, all Company liabilities, including the Company’s share of any liability of any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which the Company is a partner, were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Book Basis of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 7.3.3 to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Company minimum gain and Member nonrecourse debt minimum gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.5, an allocation to a Member of a share of Net Profit or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss.

3.5.2 Regulatory Allocations.

3.5.2.1. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)), if any, of the Company shall be allocated for each period to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) and (ii) “nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)) and “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)), if any, of the Company shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in accordance with their respective Membership Interests.

3.5.2.2. This Agreement shall be deemed to include “qualified income offset,” “minimum gain chargeback” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provisions within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, items of gross income shall be allocated to the Members on a priority basis to the extent and in the manner required by such provisions.

3.5.2.3. To the extent that Net Loss or items of loss or deduction otherwise allocable to a Member hereunder would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the taxable year to which such Net Loss, or items of loss or deduction, relate (after taking into account the allocation of all items of income and gain for such taxable period), such Net Loss, or items of loss or deduction, shall not be allocated to such Member and instead shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Section 3.5.1 as if such Member were not a Member.

3.5.2.4. If any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year that is in excess of the sum of the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 3.5.2.4 shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 3.5 have been made as if Section 3.5.2.3 and this Section 3.5.2.4 were not in this Agreement.

3.5.2.5. Any allocations required to be made pursuant to Section 3.5.2.1 through 3.5.2.4 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) (other than allocations, the effects of which are likely to be offset in the future by other special allocations) shall be taken into account, to the extent permitted by the Treasury Regulations, in computing subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 3.5.1 so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to each Member pursuant to Section 3.5.1 had such Regulatory Allocations under this Section 3.5.2 not occurred.

3.5.2.6. It is intended that prior to a distribution of the proceeds from a liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 7.3.3, the positive Capital Account balance of each Member shall be equal to the amount that such Member is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 7.3.3. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.5, to the extent permissible under Sections 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Net Profit and Net Loss and, if necessary, items of gross income and gross deductions, of the Company for the year of liquidation of the Company (or, if earlier, the year in which all or substantially all of the Company’s assets are sold, transferred or disposed of) shall be allocated among the Members so as to bring the positive Capital Account balance of each Member as close as possible to the amount that such Member would receive if the Company were liquidated and all the proceeds were distributed in accordance with Section 7.3.3.

3.5.3 Tax Allocations.

3.5.3.1. For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.5.3, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its corresponding item of book income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to this Section 3.5.

3.5.3.2. In accordance with Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company asset contributed (or deemed contributed) to the capital of the Company shall, solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Basis upon its contribution (or deemed contribution). If the Book Basis of any Company asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company asset for federal income tax purposes and the Book Basis of such Company asset in the manner prescribed under Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any elections or decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Tax Matters Partner with the consent of the other Members.

3.5.3.3. If a Member acquires a Membership Interest, redeems all or a portion of its Membership Interest or transfers a Membership Interest during a taxable year, the Net Profit or Net Loss (and other items referred to in Sections 3.5.1 and 3.5.2) attributable to any such Membership Interest for such taxable year shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee by closing the books of the Company as of the date of the transfer, or by any other method permitted under Section 706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder that is selected by the Tax Matters Partner with the consent of the other Members.

3.5.3.4. The provisions of this Section 3.5 (and other related provisions in this Agreement) pertaining to the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deductions, and credits shall be interpreted consistently with the Treasury Regulations, and to the extent unintentionally inconsistent with such Treasury Regulations, shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to make such provisions consistent with the Treasury Regulations.

3.6 Method of Payment. All advances, loans or additional contributions to the capital of the Company will be made by means of a check or draft payable to the order of the Company or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Company, or to such other account or by such other method as the Managing Members specify, subject to the reasonable approval of the other Members.

3.7 Partnership Classification for Tax Purposes. Each Member recognizes and intends that for federal income tax purposes the Company will be classified as a partnership, and the Members will not make any election or take any action which would cause the relationship of the Members under this Agreement to be excluded from the application of all or any part of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of Subtitle A of the Code or from any successor provisions to Subchapter K under the Code or from any similar provisions of applicable state laws.

ARTICLE IV.

DISTRIBUTIONS

4.1 Distributions.

(a) The Net Cash Flow of the Company (including the Net Proceeds of a Capital Transaction), after deducting therefrom such reasonable reserves for other liabilities and obligations of the Company as the Managing Members may establish which are either in the Business Plan, an Approved Budget or approved by the Members (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), shall be distributed to the Members as and when the Managing Members shall determine, but at least on a quarterly basis, in the following order and priority:

(i) First, to each Member pro rata in accordance with their respective Unreturned Equity amount, as a Return on Equity, until the then compounded, accrued and unpaid Return on Equity of each Member is reduced to zero;

(ii) Second, to each Member pro rata in accordance with their respective Unreturned Equity amounts, until such time as each Member’s Unreturned Equity amount is reduced to zero; and

(iii) Thereafter, (a) (I) ten percent (10%) to the Gramercy Member and (II) ninety percent (90%) to the Members in accordance with their respective Adjusted Capital Percentages, or (b) if a Promote Allocation Adjustment Event has occurred pursuant to Section 4.3, (I) five percent (5%) to the Gramercy Member and (II) ninety-five percent (95%) to the Members in accordance with their respective Adjusted Capital Percentages.

For the avoidance of doubt, Net Cash Flow of the Company shall be distributed pursuant to the foregoing priorities with respect to unpaid Return on Equity amounts and Unreturned Equity amounts outstanding at the time of such distribution, without regard to any previous reduction of any such amount to zero.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time that a Default Loan is outstanding, any distributions to be made to the Non-Contributing Member pursuant to Section 4.1(a) shall be deemed to be distributed to the Non-Contributing Member and shall be paid to the Contributing Member until such Contributing Member has received repayment in full of the aggregate principal amount of its Default Loans made pursuant to this Agreement plus any interest accrued thereon (with such payments deemed to be made first with respect to the interest and then with respect to the principal amount of such aggregate Default Loans).

4.2 Withholding Requirements. The Company will at all times be entitled to make payments with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company to withhold or make payments to any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (“Taxing Authority”) with respect to any distribution or allocation of income or gain to such Member and to withhold (or deduct) the same from distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a distribution by reason of this Section 4.2 shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company makes any payment to a Taxing Authority in respect of a Member hereunder that is not withheld from actual distributions to the Member, then the Member shall reimburse the Company for the amount of such payment, on demand, plus interest, compounded annually, on such amount from the date of such payment until such amount is repaid (or deducted from a distribution) to the Company at the Prime Rate, plus two percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate). The amount of a Member’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 4.2, to the extent not paid, shall be deducted from the distributions to such Member; any amounts so deducted shall constitute a repayment of such Member’s obligation hereunder. Each Member’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 4.2 shall continue after such Member transfers its interest in the Company or after a withdrawal by such Member. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties which may be asserted by reason of the failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Member. Any amount payable as indemnity hereunder by a Member will be paid promptly to the Company, and if not so paid, the Company will be entitled to retain any distributions due to such Member for all such amounts.

4.3 Promote Allocation Adjustment Event. If Xxxxxxxx Member determines in its commercially reasonable judgment that a Promote Allocation Adjustment Event has occurred, it may deliver written notice thereof to the Gramercy Member specifically alleging the facts upon which such Promote Allocation Adjustment Event is based (and no Promote Allocation Adjustment Event shall occur absent Xxxxxxxx Member delivering such notice). Within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice, Gramercy Member may dispute whether a Promote Allocation Adjustment Event has in fact occurred, by delivering written notice thereof to the Xxxxxxxx Member, and such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Section 10.8. For the avoidance of doubt, during the resolution of any dispute under Section 10.8 with respect to whether a Promote Allocation Adjustment Event has occurred, distributions shall continue to be made under Section 4.1(a)(iii) assuming no Promote Allocation Adjustment Event has occurred (but shall be subject to reconciliation under Section 10.8(h)). If, after receipt of such notice from Xxxxxxxx Member, Gramercy Member does not timely deliver written notice disputing whether a Promote Allocation Adjustment Event has occurred, such Promote Allocation Adjustment Event shall be deemed to have occurred from the date of such notice from the Xxxxxxxx Member.

ARTICLE V.

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS

5.1 Managing Member. (a) All management powers over the business and affairs of the Company are and shall be exclusively vested in the Managing Members acting jointly, and the Managing Members shall jointly exercise control and management power over the business and affairs of the Company; except that the Gramercy Member (or its Affiliate) shall be vested with the authority to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Asset Management Agreement (when executed). Each Managing Member shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers. The Gramercy Member shall prepare a business plan for each of the Properties (the “Business Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of each of the Members (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and shall include plans to market and sell, and the approved parameters for selling, certain Properties. The Members hereby approve all actions taken pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement which are necessary or reasonably determined to be in furtherance of carrying out the Business Plan, provided that no such action would result in deviation from the Business Plan. The Xxxxxxxx Member acknowledges that Gramercy Capital Corp. (“GKK”) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and Gramercy Member acknowledges that one or more of the funds that may invest in the Xxxxxxxx Member is a REIT, and each acknowledges that sales of properties by the Company could subject GKK or affiliates of GIML to a prohibited transaction tax. At the request of either Member, prior to beginning the process of selling or otherwise disposing of any Property, the Members agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and consent to achieve certain tax structuring efficiencies, including the transfer of such Property to a separate limited liability company jointly owned by a Member or a TRS owned by such Member (or an Affiliate of such Member) (as such Member may elect) and by the other Member or a TRS owned by such other Member (or an Affiliate of such Member) (as such other Member may elect) (the “Parallel LLC”). The organizational documents of the Parallel LLC or any other ownership structure shall have comparable terms to those of the Company’s organizational documents. The non-requesting Member’s interest in and rights and obligations with respect to the Parallel LLC or any other ownership structure will be comparable to its interest in and rights and obligations with respect to the Company, and any TRS’s interest in and rights and obligations with respect to the Parallel LLC will be comparable to the requesting Member’s interest in and rights and obligations with respect to the Company. The Parallel LLC and any other ownership structure is intended to preserve the economics of the Company with respect to any Property transferred to such Parallel LLC or other ownership structure. In addition, each Member agrees to use reasonable efforts to assist and consent, at no cost or liability to it, to any other structure requested by the other Member that will avoid or minimize exposure of each Member to the prohibited transactions tax. The requesting Member shall bear all reasonable out of pocket expenses of the other Member in facilitating a Parallel LLC or other ownership structure under this Section 5.1 (and if such structure is at the request or for the benefit of both Members, reasonable out of pocket expenses shall be shared one-half each). The Members agree to use reasonable efforts to insure that any cash waterfall of distributions in a Parallel LLC or any other structure shall be functionally aggregated with the distributions contained in Section 4.1 hereof to the fullest extent possible, so that the Members receive the same distributions had such Parallel LLC or other structure not been in effect; and to the extent achieving such functional aggregation is not practicable, the Members shall enter into mutual "turnover" or other supplemental arrangements to ensure that cash payments ultimately received by each Member (together with its Affiliates) are equivalent to the distributions such Member would have received had such Parallel LLC or other ownership structure not been introduced.

(b) In addition to the powers granted to the Managing Members under any other provision of this Agreement, the Managing Members shall have, subject to the express limitations imposed by this Agreement, full power and authority to do all things reasonably deemed necessary by it to conduct the business of the Company and to effectuate the purposes set forth in Section 2.3.

5.2 Matters Requiring Approval of all Members.

5.2.1 For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the Asset Management Agreement, no Member, acting individually, shall have the right to cause the Company or any of its subsidiaries to take any action in furtherance of a Major Decision without the prior written consent of all Members.

(iii) paying or contracting to pay any consideration or compensation to any Member or any of its Affiliates, other than as set forth in Article IX, or paying or contracting to pay any consideration or compensation to any third party (including, without limitation, property manager, agent, broker or facilitator) if any such payment is or will be shared (whether directly or indirectly, including by way of discount, rebate, fee, pass through, or otherwise) with any Member or any of its Affiliates;

(iv) approving the material terms and conditions of the Senior Loan and any other indebtedness of the Company (other than trade payables incurred in the ordinary course of business or in accordance with the Business Plan);

(v) the sale or disposition of any Properties or other material assets of the Company, other than sales and dispositions which satisfy the parameters set forth in the Business Plan;

(vi) admitting any additional Members, taking any action with the intent of diluting the interests of any Member (other than as provided for elsewhere in this Agreement) or acquiring an ownership interest in any Person;

(vii) approving or disapproving the Approved Budget set forth in Section 5.3 hereof, and approving or disapproving any other material modifications to the Approved Budget;

(ix) the institution or settlement of any lawsuit, claim, counterclaim or other legal proceeding by or against the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with an amount at issue or risk in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate, including without limitation, confessing a judgment against the Company, accepting the settlement, compromise or payment of any claim asserted against the Company or any of its property and assets (including, without limitation, claims covered by the policies of insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company), or asserted by the Company in respect of the foregoing;

(x) lending Company funds to any Person;

(xi) distributing or advancing funds of the Company other than in accordance with this Agreement;

(xii) amending this Agreement in any manner which adversely affects a Member;

(xiii) filing a voluntary bankruptcy petition, making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or consenting to any proceeding for bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, relief of debtors, dissolution or liquidation or similar proceedings;

(xiv) the execution of any agreement, contract or understanding or other arrangement to effectuate a Major Decision and the amendment or modification of any agreement, contract or understanding or other arrangement the execution of which constituted a Major Decision;

(xv) entering into any modification, amendment or other change with respect to the Master Lease; or

(xvi) replacing Xxxxx Xxxx LaSalle Americas, Inc., as sub-property manager with respect to the Properties.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that any Member’s Adjusted Capital Percentage is less than twenty percent (20%), such Member’s consent shall not be required for the Managing Member to take an action that is a Major Decision or for any other action which otherwise requires the consent of such Member hereunder, other than (A) any action described in clause (xii) above and (B) entering into any agreement or other arrangement with a Member or any of its Affiliates, or any modification, supplement, amendment, extension, renewal or change of any such agreement or other arrangement to the extent such agreement, arrangement, modification, supplement, amendment, extension, renewal or change is not on arms-length terms.

5.3 Approved Budget.

5.3.1 The Gramercy Member shall promptly prepare a budget covering the period from the date hereof through December 31, 2012 for the approval of the Members (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For each fiscal year of the Company, the Managing Members shall prepare a proposed annual budget (each, including the initial budget covering the period from the date hereof through December 31, 2012, an “Annual Budget”) for the Company, and submit such budget to the Members for their approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) not later than November 1 of the previous fiscal year. Each Annual Budget approved by the Members in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof shall be referred to as an “Approved Budget”. Until such time as the Members approve a proposed Annual Budget, the most recent Approved Budget shall apply. The Managing Members shall operate the Company substantially in accordance with such Approved Budget and shall be authorized to incur expenditures in accordance with the Approved Budget and as otherwise provided herein.

5.4 Cooperation. Upon the Company’s request, each Member shall make its respective officers, directors and other representatives available to provide guidance to the Managing Members with respect to the ongoing operation, development, redevelopment of and all other matters pertaining to the Properties.

5.5 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, the Company, to the extent of its assets legally available for that purpose, will indemnify and hold harmless, the Members and each of their Affiliates, and any member, partner, shareholder, director, officer, agent, affiliate and professional or other advisor of such Member or Affiliate (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys and other advisors and any court costs incurred by any Indemnified Person) or liability by reason of anything any Indemnified Person does or refrains from doing for, or in connection with the business or affairs of, the Company, except to the extent that it is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the loss, cost, damage, expense or liability resulted primarily from the Indemnified Person’s or any of its Affiliates’ fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct, or willful breach of a material provision of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, the Company may pay in advance or reimburse reasonable expenses (including advancing reasonable costs of defense) incurred by the Indemnified Person who is or is threatened to be named or made a defendant or a respondent in a proceeding concerning the business and affairs of the Company.

5.6 Limitations on Indemnity.

5.6.1 Additional Indemnity. The Company, with the unanimous written consent of all the Members, may indemnify any of the Indemnified Persons for any loss, cost, damage, expense or liability for which the Indemnified Persons would not be entitled to mandatory indemnification under Section 5.5.

5.6.2 Waiver of Indemnity Rights. An Indemnified Person may waive the benefits of indemnification under Section 5.5, but only by an instrument in writing executed by such Indemnified Person.

5.6.3 Rights Not Exclusive. The rights to indemnification under Section 5.5 are not exclusive of other rights which any Indemnified Person may otherwise have at law or in equity, including, without limitation, common law rights to indemnification or contribution. Nothing in this Section 5.6 will affect the rights or obligations of any Person (or the limitations on those rights or obligations) under any other agreement or instrument to which that Person is a party.

5.7 Company Liabilities. All liabilities of the Company, including without limitation, indemnity obligations under Section 5.5, will be liabilities of the Company as an entity, and will be paid or satisfied from the assets of the Company. Except as may be provided for in a written agreement signed by such Member or Affiliate thereof (including, without limitation, in any Senior Loan Guarantees), no liability of the Company will be payable in whole or in part by any Member in its capacity as a Member or by any member, partner, shareholder, director, officer, agent, Affiliate or advisor of any Member or its Affiliates and no Member shall be required to make any Capital Contributions to satisfy such obligations.

5.8 Guarantees. Each of Gramercy Member and Xxxxxxxx Member each agree that it shall act in good faith in negotiating and agreeing to any Senior Loan Guarantees and/or a KBS Indemnity requested from it or its respective Affiliates (who shall be similarly creditworthy), provided that the terms and conditions of any such guarantee or indemnity shall be in accordance with customary industry practice and subject to the prior approval of each Member acting in its commercially reasonable discretion. Simultaneously with and as a condition to providing any such Senior Loan Guarantee or KBS Indemnity, the Members shall enter into a contribution and sharing agreement in form and substance mutually acceptable to the Members (the “Contribution Agreement”) which shall provide, among other matters, for how payments under such agreements shall be allocated between the parties and treated under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Company nor any Member shall have any liabilities or obligations with respect to any liabilities or obligations of GKK under that certain Representation and Indemnity Agreement, made as of the date hereof, by and among GKK, Seller and KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation.

5.9 Legal Title to Company Property. Legal title to Company property shall be held solely in the name of the Company.

5.10 Other Activities of Members. Neither this Agreement nor any activity undertaken on behalf of the Company shall prevent any of the Members or any of the Affiliates of the Members, or any person owning any direct or indirect interest in a Member, individually or jointly with others, from engaging in any other activities or businesses or from making investments, whether or not those activities, businesses or investments are similar in nature to, or may be competitive with, the business of the Company. Subject to the foregoing, the Members shall have no obligation to account to the Company or to one another for any profits or other benefits derived from other activities, businesses or investments to Company or to the other Members. The Members shall not be obligated to present to the Company or to any other Members of the Company any particular investment opportunity, regardless of whether such opportunity is of such character that the Company could take it if such opportunity were presented to the Company, and the Members shall have the right to take for their own accounts, or to recommend to others, any such investment opportunity.

ARTICLE VI.

TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS

6.1 Permitted Transfers of Membership Interests. Except as specifically permitted herein, no Member may effect a Transfer of a Membership Interest in whole or in part (it being agreed that any such Transfer resulting from a transfer by a direct or indirect holding company of a Member shall nonetheless be deemed to be a Transfer effected by such Member).

6.2 Permitted Transfers and Requested Sale.

6.2.1 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from and after the expiration of the Lockout Period, if a Member seeks to Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest, such Member shall be entitled to sell such Membership Interest only pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2 (provided that such Member complies with the provisions of Section 6.4). The Member (the “Transferring Member”) that desires to sell all or any portion of its Membership Interest shall first give a written notice (the “Trigger Notice”) to the other Member (the “Non-Transferring Member”) of such desire and stating that the Transferring Member elects to sell its entire Membership Interest (the “Sale Interest”). Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Trigger Notice, the Non-Transferring Member may deliver a written notice (the “Offer Notice) stating the aggregate cash price which the Non-Transferring Member would be willing to pay in order to purchase one hundred (100%) of the Membership Interests based on the enterprise value of the Company (the “Company Price”) and the other material terms of the proposed purchase and sale, and making an irrevocable offer to the Transferring Member to purchase the Sale Interest at the deemed Offer Price (which amount need not be stated in the Offer Notice). The cash price which the Non-Transferring Member is willing to pay for the Sale Interest (the “Offer Price”) shall be deemed to be the aggregate amount that the Transferring Member would hypothetically receive as a distribution if the Company Price were paid wholly in cash and the full amount thereof were distributed to the Members on the date of the Offer Notice as Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 4.1 hereof, without any deductions (including any deductions for any reserves). For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances may any Member sell less than its entire Membership Interest.

6.2.2 If the Transferring Member elects to sell to the Non-Transferring Member the Sale Interest for the Offer Price, then, on or before the date which is forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Decision Date”), the Transferring Member shall send a notice to the Non-Transferring Member of such election and accepting the offer made in the Offer Notice (the “Acceptance Notice”). Alternatively, the Transferring Member may send a notice (the “Requested Sale Notice”) by the Offer Decision Date to the other Member requiring the Company to sell the Company’s direct or indirect interests in the remaining Properties (a “Requested Sale”) for a price no less than 105% multiplied by the Company Price (the “Requested Sale Price”).

6.2.3 If the Transferring Member so notifies the Non-Transferring Member on or before the Offer Decision Date that it elects to sell the Sale Interest in accordance with this Section 6.2, then:

(a) the Non-Transferring Member shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to buy, and the Transferring Member shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to sell, the Sale Interest for the Offer Price and upon the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and otherwise in accordance with this Section 6.2;

(b) the Non-Transferring Member shall, within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Acceptance Notice, deposit in escrow, in an interest-bearing account, with a nationally recognized escrow agent located in New York City jointly selected by the Members pursuant to a customary and reasonable escrow agreement, an amount equal to (such amount, the “Escrowed Amount”) (i) ten million dollars ($10,000,000.00) or (ii) in the event the Non-Transferring Member has previously made a deposit in escrow under this Section 6.2.3 that was forfeited pursuant to clause (e) of this Section 6.2.3, twenty million dollars ($20,000,000.00);

(c) the transfer of the Sale Interest shall occur at a closing (the “Sale Closing”) on a date no more than ninety (90) days after the date the Transferring Member delivers written notice of its acceptance of the Offer Notice, where the following transactions shall occur:

(i) the Non-Transferring Member shall pay or cause to be paid (or tender) to the Transferring Member the Offer Price for the Sale Interest being purchased;

(ii) if there is Default Loan outstanding in favor of the Transferring Member, the Non-Transferring Member shall also pay or cause to be paid the aggregate principal amount of its Default Loan outstanding plus all interest accrued thereon, if there is Default Loan outstanding in favor of the Non-Transferring Member, the Non-Transferring Member shall set off from the Offer Price the aggregate principal amount of its Default Loan outstanding plus all interest accrued thereon,

(iii) the Transferring Member and Non-Transferring Member shall pay, pro rata in accordance with their respective Adjusted Capital Percentage, all transfer and filing fees due and payable in connection with the sale and purchase of the Sale Interest and furnish the other Member with satisfactory proof of such payment; if the Transferring Member fails to cause all such transfer and filing fees to be paid, the Non-Transferring Member may cause such transfer and filing fees to be paid and deduct the amount of such transfer and filing fees from the purchase price;

(iv) the Non-Transferring Member and the Transferring Member shall make adjustments of available cash and liabilities at the closing date with respect to the Sale Interest as if the books of the Company had been closed on the date of the Sale Closing;

(v) upon receipt (or tender) of the Offer Price, the Sale Interest of the Transferring Member shall be deemed transferred and the Transferring Member shall convey and assign by assignment with general warranty of title to the Non-Transferring Member (or its designee) the entire Sale Interest, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances other than liens and encumbrances created by this Agreement or in connection with the Senior Loan, and the Non-Transferring Member shall execute and deliver an assumption agreement by which it assumes the obligations of the Transferring Member as a Member under this Agreement accruing from and after the date of the sale of such Sale Interest to the Non-Transferring Member; and

(vi) the Transferring Member agrees and shall be obligated to protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Non-Transferring Member from and against all losses, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation), expenses, liabilities and obligations which are attributable to the Sale Interest prior to the date of the sale of such Sale Interest to the Non-Transferring Member, subject to (A) a monetary cap of one million dollars ($1,000,000) for all claims and (B) a time limit excluding any claims not raised by written notice from the Non-Transferring to the Transferring Member within one year from the date of the Sale Closing (or, with respect to underlying claims made under the Master Lease as a result of the tenant’s audit rights thereunder, claims not raised by written notice from the Non-Transferring to the Transferring Member within three (3) years from the end of the calendar year in which the Sale Closing occurs), and the Transferring Member shall execute and deliver to the Non-Transferring Member all documents which may be reasonably requested by the Non-Transferring Member to confirm and evidence the sale and purchase of such Sale Interest.

(d) All Net Cash Flow received by the Company during the period from the date the Offer Notice is delivered to but excluding the date of the Sale Closing shall, to the extent not previously delivered, be distributed to the Members immediately before consummation of the sale on the date of the Sale Closing pursuant to Section 4.1 (or reflected as a closing adjustment).

(e) If the Transferring Member fails to transfer the Sale Interest to the Non-Transferring Member in accordance with this Section 6.2 or otherwise fails to comply with its obligations under this Section 6.2, the Non-Transferring Member shall have all rights and remedies available pursuant to law and in equity, including but not limited to (a) the right to enforce their respective rights under this Section 6.2 by specific performance and to bring an action for damages, against the Transferring Member and (b) the right to deem the Offer Notice withdrawn and the Transferring Member shall not be entitled to deliver another Offer Notice. If the Transferring Member fails to timely deliver an Acceptance Notice or a Requested Sale Notice, the Offer Notice shall be deemed withdrawn and the Transferring Member shall not be entitled to deliver another Offer Notice.

(f) If the Non-Transferring Member fails to timely deliver an Offer Notice, which failure continues for a period of five (5) business days after receipt of a further notice from the Transferring Member, the Transferring Member may send a Requested Sale Notice with no Requested Sale Price minimum (and the provisions of clause (g) shall apply without regard to any Requested Sale Price requirements set forth therein). If the Non-Transferring Member, after having timely delivered an Offer Notice which the Transferring Member timely accepts, fails to consummate the purchase for any reason (other than by reason of default by the Transferring Member) within the time period prescribed by Section 6.2.3, the Transferring Member may retain the Escrowed Amount as liquidated damages, and the Transferring Member may send a Requested Sale Notice with no Requested Sale Price minimum (and the provisions of clause (g) shall apply without regard to any Requested Sale Price requirements set forth therein).

(g) If the Transferring Member has timely elected to request a Requested Sale, or it has delivered a Requested Sale Notice under clause (f) above, the Transferring Member shall be authorized to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to sell (the “Portfolio Sale”) all of the Company’s direct or indirect interests in the remaining Properties (including retaining a nationally recognized real estate broker, familiar with the marketing of asset similar to the Properties, selected by the Transferring Member on behalf of the Company) which, for the avoidance of doubt, must be an “all cash” sale on arms-length terms to a bona fide third party, and may be structured as asset and/or equity sales, but in no event for less than the Requested Sale Price (except where the Requested Sale Notice is delivered pursuant to clause (f) above, in which case no Requested Sale Price shall be applicable), however, that any Portfolio Sale must close on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the date the Transferring Member elects a Requested Sale (the “Outside Date”). The Transferring Member shall reasonably consult with and keep the Non-Transferring Member apprised of the status and ongoing efforts to effectuate a Portfolio Sale; and the Non-Transferring Member shall cooperate in good faith, and use its commercially reasonable effects to assist in and support, the Portfolio Sale process. If no Portfolio Sale closes on or before the Outside Date, the Requested Sale Notice (and related Trigger Notice and Offer Notice) shall be deemed withdrawn and no Member may Transfer its Membership Interest without again complying with the provisions of this Section 6.2. For the avoidance of doubt, all cash proceeds of a Portfolio Sale will be distributed in cash to the Members in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 4.1 hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, a Member may effect a Transfer of its Membership Interests to any of its Controlled Affiliates without having to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.2.

6.3 Unauthorized Transfers. Any purported Transfer by a Member which does not comply with the provisions of this Article VI will be null and void, and the transferee under any such purported Transfer will acquire no title or ownership thereby but will hold such Membership Interests for the benefit of the other Members. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer that shall otherwise be permitted by this Article VI shall be permitted if such Transfer would result in the violation of the terms of any financing or any other agreement to which the Company is a party or by which its assets are affected, to the extent previously approved by the Members.

6.4 Actions Following a Transfer. The Company will not recognize any Transfer of a Membership Interest by a Member unless all costs incurred by the Company to effect such Transfer have been paid by the Member who is transferring its interest and there is filed with the Company a written and dated notification of such Transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, executed and acknowledged by the Member who is transferring its interest and the transferee and such notification (a) contains the agreement by the transferee to be bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (b) represents that such Transfer was made in accordance with all applicable securities laws and regulations. Any Transfer will be recognized by the Company as effective on the date of receipt of such notification by the Company.

6.5 No Withdrawal. Except following a Transfer of its Membership Interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without first obtaining the written consent of the other Member (which consent may be withheld by the other Member in its sole discretion), no Member may resign from the Company or effect a partial or complete withdrawal from the Company and no Member will be entitled to withdraw any portion of its contribution or capital account, or to receive any distribution from the Company, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

6.6 Mortgage or Pledge of Membership Interest. No Member may mortgage, pledge or hypothecate all or any portion of its direct Membership Interest in the Company, except each Member shall have the right to pledge its Membership Interest to the other Member. Any such mortgage, pledge or hypothecation made in violation of this Section 6.6 shall be void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member may collaterally assign its interests in the profits of the Company payable pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise and the proceeds of its Membership Interest to an Affiliate or to a lender provided that such lender shall agree in writing (a) that the assignment shall not confer upon such assignee any right or power to participate in the management of the Company, (b) that it has been assigned an interest solely in the economic interests in the Company and profits and proceeds held by the assigning Member, (c) that any rights so granted shall be at all times subject to the terms of this Agreement, and (d) that in no event shall such Affiliate or lender become a Member in the Company or have the right to exercise any rights under this Agreement as a result of any foreclosure or other remedy exercised by such lender.

ARTICLE VII.

In connection with any such winding up and liquidation, a financial statement of the Company as of the date of dissolution will be prepared and furnished to all the Members by the Liquidating Agent.

7.3.2 Authority of Liquidating Agent.

7.3.4 No Recourse to Assets of Members. Each Member will look solely to the assets of the Company for all distributions with respect to the Company and such Member’s capital contributions thereto and share of profits or losses, and will have no recourse therefor (upon dissolution of the Company or otherwise) against any other Members.

7.4 Termination of the Company. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Company and the distribution of all assets of the Company and other funds, the Company and this Agreement will terminate and the Liquidating Agent will have the authority to take or cause to be taken such actions as are necessary or reasonable in order to obtain a certificate of dissolution of the Company as well as any and all other documents required by the Act or any other applicable law to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Company.

(e) Each of the Members irrevocably consents to service of process in accordance with the Notice provision set forth in Section 10.2.

(f) The prevailing Member, as determined by the Tribunal, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees from the non-prevailing Party.

(g) In the case of clause (i) in the definition of Arbitral Dispute, unless and until the Tribunal renders a judgment in favor the Member who is asserting that a default has occurred by asset manager under the Asset Management Agreement, or is seeking to enforce rights or remedies in connection with any default, such purported assertion or enforcement shall not be effective pending the judgment of the Tribunal.

(h) In the case of clause (ii) in the definition of Arbitral Dispute, unless and until the Tribunal renders a judgment in favor of the Xxxxxxxx Member, such purported Promote Allocation Adjustment Event shall be given effect as of the date Gramercy Member received written notice from Xxxxxxxx Member under Section 4.3 alleging that such Promote Allocation Adjustment Event occurred (the “Readjustment Date”). In that case, Gramercy Member shall remit to the Company all distributions it received from and after the Readjustment Date that it would not have received had the Promote Allocation Adjustment Event been given effect on the Readjustment Date.

10.12 Failure to Enforce Provision. The failure of any Member to seek redress for a violation, or to insist upon the strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Agreement will not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original violation.

10.13 Involvement of the Company in Certain Proceedings. If any Member becomes involved in legal proceedings unrelated to the business of the Company in which the Company is called upon to provide information, the Member will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of attorneys and other advisors, incurred by the Company in preparing or producing the required information or in resisting any request for production or obtaining a protective order limiting the availability of the information actually provided by the Company.
