For avoidance of doubt, Preferred Member will be the Managing Member during the arbitration process, provided, if such arbitration process concludes that a For Cause Removal Occurrence did not occur then upon such conclusion Common Member shall automatically be reinstated as the Managing Member of the Company. If Common Member timely objects to a Removal Notice and submits such dispute for arbitration, then prior to the conclusion of any such arbitration, Preferred Member, in its capacity as Managing Member, shall not take any of the actions listed on Schedule 4.1(e) attached hereto, as expressly provided therein (such actions, the “Arbitration Major Actions”), in each case without the prior written approval of Common Member, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any action of Preferred Member require the consent of Common Member to the extent the same is taken in connection with the curing or reacting to a default under any Mortgage Loan. This Section 4.1(e) and the provisions on Schedule D shall be the exclusive means for litigating or arbitrating any dispute regarding a Removal Notice pursuant to Section 4.1(c) and no party shall be permitted to institute any action or other proceeding that does not comply with this Section 4.1(e) and the provisions on Schedule D and any such action or other proceeding shall be automatically dismissed.

If Common Member is successful in any such arbitration, then, in any such instance, the Common Member shall be restored as the Managing Member of the Company.

39
(h) Any Major Actions taken by the Company or any other Broad Street Party, directly or indirectly, without the Approval of Preferred Member in contravention of Section 4.1(a) shall be ultra xxxxx, null and void ab initio and of no force or effect.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Members and the Company agree, that for U.S. federal, and applicable state and local, income tax purposes, (i) the entirety of the Preferred Membership Interest shall be treated as equity in the Company and Preferred Member and Sponsor shall each be treated as a “partner” of the Company, and (ii) (x) no amount with respect to Preferred Member’s Membership Interest shall be treated as a
58
guaranteed payment under Section 707(c) of the Code or a fee or other payment under Section 707(a) of the Code and (y) in no event shall Preferred Member’s entitlement to any amounts of the Redemption Amount or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement result in a taxable capital shift to Preferred Member. Each Member and the Company agrees not to file any tax returns or reports, or take any position for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income, tax purposes, inconsistent with the foregoing, and the Company shall issue to the Members a Schedule K-1 consistent with the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.2 or otherwise in this Agreement, this Section 7.2 and the rights of Preferred Member under this Section 7.2 shall survive any transfer or redemption of Preferred Member’s Interest in the Company.
Section 7.3 Tax Representative.
(a) The Members designate Common Member (or such other Person designated by Common Member (subject to the Approval of Preferred Member) and eligible to act in such capacity) to be the Company’s “partnership representative” under Section 6223 of the Code (and any comparable provision of applicable state and local tax law) (collectively, the “Tax Representative”). The Tax Representative shall have all powers and responsibilities provided for a “partnership representative” in the provisions of the Code referred to above and corresponding provisions of state and local law, including but not limited to the power to make any and all elections under the Revised Partnership Audit Provisions and to designate any individual through whom the Tax Representative shall act (if the Tax Representative is not an individual). The Tax Representative shall keep Preferred Member informed of any material inquiries, audits, other proceedings or tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed (of which the Tax Representative is actually aware) by any taxing authority against the Company by providing written notice thereof to Preferred Member on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to Preferred Member copies of all written communications it may receive in that capacity. The Company shall pay and be responsible for all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Representative in performing those duties, including any causes of action arising out of, resulting from or attributable, in whole or in part, to the Tax Representative’s actions and decisions in its conduct as the Tax Representative, to the fullest extent allowed by applicable law. Each Member shall be responsible for any costs incurred by such Member with respect to any tax audit or tax-related administrative or judicial proceeding against such Member, even though it relates to the Company. The Members shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the Tax Representative in connection with any election or decision made by it acting in that capacity (including by filing amended tax returns, providing information requested, and reporting in their tax returns consistently with any settlements reached with a taxing authority). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Preferred Member transfers its Preferred Membership Interest or otherwise ceases to be a Member, Preferred Member (or such other Person designated by Preferred Member) shall retain any rights under this Section 7.3 with respect to all audits and related actions the outcome of which could affect Preferred Member or its direct or indirect owners.

59
good faith discretion (subject to the Approval of Preferred Member), to pay, and each such Member hereby agrees, to pay such amount to the Company and such amount shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution for purposes of any provision herein that affects distributions to the Members;
(ii) any amount not paid by a Member (or former Member) within five (5) Business Days after the time requested by Tax Representative (such Member or former Member, a “Non-Paying Member”) shall accrue interest at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum, compounded quarterly (but in no event in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable laws), until paid, and such Non-Paying Member shall also be liable to the Company for any damages resulting from a delay in making such payment beyond the date such payment is requested by Tax Representative, and for this purpose the fact that the Company could have paid this amount with other funds shall not be taken into account in determining such damages. If any other Member (or Affiliate thereof) funds any such amount, such funding shall be treated as a loan to the Non-Paying Member that shall accrue interest at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum, compounded quarterly (but in no event in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable laws), shall be payable on demand, and any amounts otherwise payable to such Non-Paying Member (or Affiliate thereof) pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between the Company (or a Company Subsidiary) and such Non-Paying Member (or Affiliate thereof) shall be paid to such lending Member (or Affiliate thereof) (which payment shall be treated as a distribution or payment (as applicable) to the intended original recipient followed by a payment by the Non-Paying Member of such loan (and an intervening payment between the Non-Paying Member and its Affiliate, if applicable)); and
(iii) without reduction in a Member’s (or former Member’s) obligation under clauses (i) and (ii), any amount paid by the Company that is attributable to a Member (or former Member), as determined by Tax Representative in its sole good faith discretion, and that is not paid by such Member (or former Member) pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as an advance of distributions to which the Non-Paying Member is entitled under this Agreement.
(c) If the Company liquidates prior to the full indemnification of reimbursable costs incurred by the Tax Representative acting in its capacity as such, each Member shall be personally liable for its share of such costs as determined in good faith by the Tax Representative based on the distribution rights of the Members at the time of such liquidation.
(d) The obligations of each Member (or former Member) under this Section 7.3 shall survive the transfer by such Member of its Membership Interest and the dissolution of the Company.
(e) The Tax Representative shall not have any implied obligations or duties, may rely on the advice or services of any lawyers, accountants, tax advisers or other professional advisers or experts and shall not be liable for any damages, costs or losses to any Person, any diminution in value or any liability whatsoever arising as a result of such reliance or otherwise as a result of action or inaction taken in its capacity as Tax Representative. The Tax Representative shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Agreement. The Tax Representative shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to
60
be taken except to the minimum extent required by law. Each Member hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue the Tax Representative or any of the Tax Representative’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, members, partners or agents for damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the Tax Representative’s duties under this Agreement except for gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.
(f) Neither Common Member nor the Tax Representative shall enter into any proposed settlement or other agreement with the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority, take any administrative or judicial appeal with respect thereto, or make any tax elections on behalf of the Company that in any such case could adversely affect Preferred Member without the Approval of Preferred Member, which Approval may be withhold in Preferred Member’s sole discretion.

Section 10.2 Equitable Relief. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it may be impossible to measure in money the damage to the Company and the Members, if any of them or any transferee or any legal representative of any party hereto fails to comply with any of the restrictions or obligations imposed by this Agreement, that every such restriction and obligation is material, and that in the event of any such failure, neither the Company nor the Members may have an adequate remedy at law or in damages.
