The Manager may further divide the Investor Shares into one or more series. The number of Shares of each such series of Investor Shares, and the rights and preferences of each such series, shall be as set forth in the resolution or resolutions of the Manager creating such series, referencing this Section 3.1 (each, an “Authorizing Resolution”). Without limitation, the Manager may establish, with respect to each series of Investor Shares, its voting powers, conversion rights or obligations, redemption rights or obligations, preferences as to distributions, and other matters. The Authorizing Resolution providing for issuance of any series of Investor Shares may provide that such series shall be superior or rank equally or be junior to the Investor Shares of any other series except to the extent prohibited by the terms of Authorizing Resolution establishing another series of Investor Shares. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or in an Authorizing Resolution creating a series of Investor Shares, no vote of the holders of Investor Shares or Common Shares shall be prerequisite to the issuance of any Shares of any series of the Investor Shares or Common Shares authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Agreement, the right to have such vote being expressly waived by all present and future holders of the Shares of the Company. Any Shares of Investor Shares redeemed, purchased, or acquired by the Company may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law or by the terms of any series of Investor Shares. Different series of Investor Shares shall not be construed to constitute different series of Investor Shares for the purposes of voting by classes unless expressly provided. As of the date of this Agreement, the Initial Member holds an aggregate of 10,000 Common Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the share price for each Investor Share being offered pursuant to any Offering Statement shall equal the Market Price. “Market Price” means, with respect to the Investor Shares, an initial price of $1.00 per Investor Share.

3.2 Share Splits and Consolidations. The Manager may at any time increase or decrease the authorized and/or outstanding number of Shares of limited liability company interests of any series, including Common Shares, provided that any increase or decrease in the number of Shares outstanding shall be made pro rata with respect to all Members owning the outstanding Shares of such series. The Manager shall promptly notify all of the Members of any such transaction.

3.3 Certificates. Shares of the Company shall not be evidenced by written certificates unless the Manager determines otherwise. If the Manager determines to issue certificates representing Shares, the certificates shall be subject to such rules and restrictions as the Manager may determine.

Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the capital accounts of the Members shall be adjusted and maintained in accordance with Code section 704 and the regulations thereunder.

ARTICLE IV

DISTRIBUTIONS AND REDEMPTION

4.1 General. The Manager may, in its sole discretion, make and pay distributions of cash or other assets of the Company to the Members.

4.1.1 In determining cash flow available for distribution (the “Net Available Cash Flow”), the Manager may deduct any amounts necessary in its sole discretion in the following order of priority to (i) meet expenses and liabilities of the Company, including the one percent (1%) Management Fee as described in the Management Agreement (as defined in Section 5.1.2), and establish reserves therefore, (ii) accommodate redemption requests under the Redemption Plan, and/or establish reserves therefore, and/or (iii) meet distributions under its Bonus Program and/or establish reserves therefore. Net capital event proceeds are not generally expected to be distributed. The Manager may, in its sole discretion, make and pay distributions of cash or other assets of the Company.

4.1.2 Net Available Cash Flow will be determined as of the last day of each calendar month (a “Calculation Date”). Each Member’s share of each such distribution of Net Available Cash Flow will then be divided between the Members as follows:

(i) First, one hundred percent (100%), pro rata to each Investor Member until the such Investor Member has received aggregate distributions for any accrued and unpaid Preferred Return Hurdle. The “Preferred Return Hurdle” means five percent (5%) per annum (0.416667% per month), which will be pro rated based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (for the avoidance of doubt, this step is intended to represent the applicable calendar month and any remaining shortfall of the pro rated portion of the Preferred Return Hurdle from the prior calculation periods of that fiscal year);

(ii) Thereafter, fifty percent (50%) of the remainder to the Initial Member and fifty percent (50%) of the remainder to the Investor Members.

4.2 Special Rules Governing Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in an Authorizing Resolution establishing a series of Investor Shares (i) any distributions of the Company not expressly payable to the holders of a series of Investor Shares shall be payable to the holders of the Common Shares, (ii) any distributions made to the holders of any series of Investor Shares as a group shall be divided pro rata among such holders based on their respective ownership of the Shares of such series, and (iii) no Member shall have any right to distributions except as may be authorized by the Manager.

4.3 Items Taken Into Account. In determining the amount and timing of distributions, the Manager may take into account the following items of income and expense, among others:

4.3.1 The net rental income from properties owned by the Company;

4.3.2 The net proceeds, in part or in whole, from the sale or refinancing of property;

4.3.3 Cash distributions from, and capital contributions to, entities in which the Company owns an interest;

4.3.7 Fees paid to the Manager and its affiliates;

4.3.8 Fees paid to third parties; and

4.3.9 All of the other operating expense of the Company.

4.4 Tax Withholding. To the extent the Company is required to pay over any amount to any federal, state, local or foreign governmental authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Member, the amount withheld shall be deemed to be a distribution in the amount of the withholding to that Member. If the amount paid over was not withheld from an actual distribution (i) the Company shall be entitled to withhold such amounts from subsequent distributions, and (ii) if no such subsequent distributions are anticipated for six (6) months, the Member shall, at the request of the Company, promptly reimburse the Company for the amount paid over.

4.5 Manner of Distribution. Notwithstanding Section 4.8 herein, all distributions to the Members will be made by wire transfer or as Automated Clearing House (ACH) deposits into an account designated by each Member. In addition, distributions to the Members may be made, upon a Member’s written consent, by digital currency transfer. Distributions in digital currencies, such as Bitcoin (“BTC”), Ether (“ETH”) or any other digital currency agreed upon by the Manager and the Member, will be valued in U.S. dollars based on an exchange rate determined by the average price at 8:00pm (London time) over the three largest cryptocurrency exchanges trading such digital currency by volume. If a Member elects to receive distributions in the form of digital currency, the Member must comply with the distribution procedures specified by the Company at such time and from time to time in its sole discretion.

4.6 Other Rules Governing Distributions. No distributions prohibited by 6 Del. C. §18-607 or not specifically authorized under this Agreement shall be made by the Company to any Member in his, her or its capacity as a Member. A Member who receives a distribution prohibited by 6. Del. C. §18-607 shall be liable as provided therein.

4.7 Redemption Plan. The Manager may, in its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, cause the Company to establish a redemption plan (a “Redemption Plan”), pursuant to which a Member may request that the Company redeem all or any portion of their Investor Shares, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Redemption Plan. In its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the Manager may set the terms, conditions and restrictions of any Redemption Plan and may amend, suspend, or terminate any such Redemption Plan at any time for any reason.

4.8 Liquidity Reserve. The Manager may, in its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, cause the Company to establish a liquidity reserve (a “Liquidity Reserve”) to maintain a specified liquidity position, for the purpose of satisfying redemption requests by Investor Members pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions of any respective Redemption Plan.

4.9 Distribution Reinvestment and Investor Shares Purchase Plan. The Manager may, in its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, cause the Company to establish a distribution reinvestment and Investor Shares purchase plan (a “DRIP”), pursuant to which all Members shall automatically participate unless a Member specifically ‘opts out’ at the time of its subscription or by thirty days’ written notice to the Company, pursuant to which the Company shall reinvest all or a portion of such cash distributions in additional Investor Shares under the DRIP, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the DRIP. In its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the Manager may set the terms, conditions and restrictions of any DRIP and may amend, suspend, or terminate any such DRIP at any time for any reason.

4.10 Bonus Program. The Manager may, in its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, cause the Company to establish a bonus program (a “Bonus Program”), pursuant to which certain Investor Members may be incentivized through cash distributions or otherwise to provide certain services to the Company and/or its affiliates. In its sole discretion and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the Manager may set the terms, conditions and restrictions of any Bonus Program and may amend, suspend, or terminate any such Bonus Program at any time for any reason.

The failure of the Manager or the Dissident Members to include in this package any defense, facts, or arguments shall not preclude them from including such defense, facts, or arguments in subsequent communications or proceedings.

In the event that Investor Members holding two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of Investor Shares then issued and outstanding vote to remove the Manager within the thirty (30) day period described in Section 5.6.2.1, then the question as to whether “cause” exists to remove the Manager shall be referred to a single arbitrator in arbitration proceedings held in Wilmington, Delaware in conformance with the then-current rules and procedures of the American Arbitration Association. The removal of the Manager shall not become effective until the arbitrator determines that “cause” exists; the decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and non-appealable. In the event that Investor Members holding two-thirds (2/3rds) of the total number of Investor Shares then issued and outstanding do not vote to remove the Manager within the thirty (30) day period described in Section 5.6.2.1, then the Manager shall not be removed and no subsequent proceeding to remove the Manager shall be held with respect to substantially similar grounds.

As used in this Section 6.2, the term “Covered Person” means (i) the Manager and its affiliates, (ii) the members, managers, officers, employees, and agents of the Manager and its affiliates, and (iii) the officers, employees, and agents of the Company, each acting within the scope of his, her, or its authority.

6.2.1.2 Standard of Care. No Covered Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Covered Person, including actions taken or omitted to be taken under the Management Agreement, in the good-faith business judgment of such Covered Person, so long as such action or omission does not constitute fraud or willful misconduct by such Covered Person.

6.2.1.3 Good Faith Reliance. A Covered Person shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports, or statements (including financial statements and information) of the following persons: (i) another Covered Person; (ii) any attorney, independent accountant, appraiser, or other expert or professional employed or engaged by or on behalf of the Company; or (iii) any other person selected in good faith by or on behalf of the Company, in each case as to matters that such relying Covered Person reasonably believes to be within such other person’s professional or expert competence. The preceding sentence shall in no way limit any person’s right to rely on information to the extent provided in the Act.

6.2.2 Liabilities and Duties of Covered Persons.

6.2.2.1 Limitation of Liability. This Agreement is not intended to, and does not, create or impose any fiduciary duty on any Covered Person. Furthermore, each Member and the Company hereby waives any and all fiduciary duties that, absent such waiver, may be implied by applicable law, and in doing so, acknowledges and agrees that the duties and obligation of each Covered Person to each other and to the Company are only as expressly set forth in this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Covered Person.

6.2.2.2 Duties. Whenever a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision, the Covered Person shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as such Covered Person desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other person. Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision in such Covered Person’s “good faith,” the Covered Person shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard imposed by this Agreement or any other applicable law.

6.2.3 Indemnification.

6.2.3.1 Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by the Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Act permitted the Company to provide prior to such amendment, substitution or replacement), the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless, defend, pay and reimburse any Covered Person against any and all losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees or other expenses incurred in investigating or defending against such losses, claims, damages, judgments, fines or liabilities, and any amounts expended in settlement of any claims (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Covered Person may become subject by reason of any act or omission or alleged act or omission performed or omitted to be performed by such Covered Person on behalf of the Company in connection with the business of the Company, including pursuant to the Management Agreement; provided, that (i) such Covered Person acted in good faith and in a manner believed by such Covered Person to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, and (ii) such Covered Person’s conduct did not constitute fraud or willful misconduct, in either case as determined by a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection with the foregoing, the termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Covered Person did not act in good faith or, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such Covered Person’s conduct was unlawful, or that the Covered Person’s conduct constituted fraud or willful misconduct.

6.2.3.2 Reimbursement. The Company shall promptly reimburse (and/or advance to the extent reasonably required) each Covered Person for reasonable legal or other expenses (as incurred) of such Covered Person in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any claim, lawsuit or other proceeding relating to any Losses for which such Covered Person may be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.2.3; provided, that if it is finally judicially determined that such Covered Person is not entitled to the indemnification provided by this Section 6.2.3, then such Covered Person shall promptly reimburse the Company for any reimbursed or advanced expenses.

6.2.3.3 Entitlement to Indemnity. The indemnification provided by this Section 6.2.3 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any agreement or otherwise. The provisions of this Section 6.2.3 shall continue to afford protection to each Covered Person regardless whether such Covered Person remains in the position or capacity pursuant to which such Covered Person became entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.2.3 and shall inure to the benefit of the executors, administrators, and legal representative of such Covered Person.

6.2.3.4 Insurance. To the extent available on commercially reasonable terms, the Company may purchase, at its expense, insurance to cover Losses covered by the foregoing indemnification provisions and to otherwise cover Losses for any breach or alleged breach by any Covered Person of such Covered Person’s duties in such amount and with such deductibles as the Manager may determine; provided, that the failure to obtain such insurance shall not affect the right to indemnification of any Covered Person under the indemnification provisions contained herein, including the right to be reimbursed or advanced expenses or otherwise indemnified for Losses hereunder. If any Covered Person recovers any amounts in respect of any Losses from any insurance coverage, then such Covered Person shall, to the extent that such recovery is duplicative, reimburse the Company for any amounts previously paid to such Covered Person by the Company in respect of such Losses.

6.2.3.5 Funding of Indemnification Obligation. Any indemnification by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.2.3 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and no Member shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional capital contributions to help satisfy such indemnification obligation.

6.2.3.6 Savings Clause. If this Section 6.2.3 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Covered Person pursuant to this Section 6.2.3 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 6.3 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

6.2.4 Amendment. The provision of this Section 6.2 shall be a contract between the Company, on the one hand, and each Covered Person who served in such capacity at any time while this Section 6.2 is in effect, on the other hand, pursuant to which the Company and each such Covered Person intend to be legally bound. No amendment, modification or repeal of this Section that adversely affects the rights of a Covered Person to indemnification for Losses incurred or relating to a state of facts existing prior to such amendment, modification or repeal shall apply in such a way as to eliminate or reduce such Covered Person’s entitlement to indemnification for such Losses without the Covered Person’s prior written consent.

6.2.5 Survival. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the dissolution, liquidation, winding up, and termination of the Company.

6.3. Confidentiality. For as long as he, she, or it owns an interest in the Company and at all times thereafter, no Investor Member shall divulge to any person or entity, or use for his or its own benefit or the benefit of any person, and information of the Company of a confidential or proprietary nature, including, but not limited to (i) financial information; (ii) designs, drawings, plans, and specifications; (iii) the business methods, systems, or practices used by the Company; and (iii) the identity of the Company’s Members, customers, or suppliers. The foregoing shall not apply to information that is in the public domain or that an Investor Member is required to disclose by legal process.

The provisions of this Article VIII shall be applicable as if the Company was a REIT, even if the Manager has not elected to have the Company qualify as a REIT, and shall remain in full force and effect until prior to the Restriction Termination Date.

8.2.1 Basic Restrictions.

8.2.1.1 (i) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit, (ii) no Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Investor Shares in excess of the Investor Share Ownership Limit and (iii) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder.

8.2.1.2 (i) No Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares would result in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year, unless otherwise allowed under Section 8.8.5, and (ii) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares would result in the Company otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership that (A) would result in the Company owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code or (B) would cause any income of the Company that would otherwise qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of Section 856(d) of the Code to fail to qualify as such (including, but not limited to, as a result of causing any entity that the Company intends to treat as an “eligible independent contractor” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(A) of the Code to fail to qualify as such), in either case causing the Company to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).

8.2.1.3 During the period commencing on the One Hundred Members Date, any Transfer of Shares that, if effective, would result in the Shares being beneficially owned by fewer than one hundred (100) Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

8.2.2 Transfer in Trust.

If any Transfer of Shares or Non-Transfer Event occurs which, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning Shares in violation of Section 8.2.1.1 or 0.0.0.0:

8.2.2.1 then that number of Shares the Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of which otherwise would cause such Person to violate Section 8.2.1.1 or 8.2.1.2 (rounded up to the nearest whole share) shall be automatically transferred to a Trust for the benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary, as described in Section 8.10, effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the date of such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event, and such Person (or, if different, the direct or beneficial owner of such Shares) shall acquire no rights in such Shares (and shall be divested of its rights in such Shares); or

8.2.2.2. if the transfer to the Trust described in clause (i) of this sentence would not be effective for any reason to prevent the violation of Section 8.2.1.1 or 8.2.1.2, then the Transfer of that number of Shares that otherwise would cause any Person to violate Section 8.2.1.1 or 8.2.1.2 shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Shares.

8.2.2.3. To the extent that, upon transfer of Shares pursuant to this Section 8.2.2, a violation of Section 8.2.1 would nonetheless be continuing (for example, where the ownership of Shares by a single Charitable Trust would result in the Shares being Beneficially Owned by less than one hundred (100) persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code)), then the Shares shall be transferred to that number of Charitable Trusts, each having a distinct Trustee and a Charitable Beneficiary or Charitable Beneficiaries that are distinct from those of each other Charitable Trust, such that there is no violation of Section 8.2.1.

8.3 Remedies for Breach. If the Manager shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or Non-Transfer Event has taken place that results in a violation of Section 8.2 or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Shares in violation of Section 8.2 (whether or not such violation is intended), the Manager shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event or otherwise prevent such violation, including, without limitation, causing the Company to redeem Shares, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event on the books of the Company or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event; provided, however, that any Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event in violation of Section 8.2 (or Non-Transfer Event that results in a violation of Section 8.2) shall automatically result in the transfer to the Trust described above, and, where applicable, such Transfer (or Non-Transfer Event) shall be void ab initio as provided above irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Manager. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Manager to grant a waiver as may be permitted under Section 8.8.

8.4 Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares that will or may violate Section 8.2.1 or any Person who would have owned Shares that resulted in a transfer to the Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2.2 shall immediately give written notice to the Company of such event or, in the case of such a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice, and shall provide to the Company such other information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event on the Company’s qualification as a REIT.

8.5 Owners Required to Provide Information. From the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date:

8.5.1 Every owner of five percent (5%) or more (or such lower percentage as required by the Code or the U.S. Treasury Department regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding Shares, upon the Company’s request following the end of each taxable year, shall give written notice to the Company stating the name and address of such owner, the number of Shares of each class and series Beneficially Owned and a description of the manner in which such Shares are held. Each such owner shall promptly provide to the Company in writing such additional information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the Company’s qualification as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limits; and

8.5.2 Each Person who is a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of Shares and each Person (including the Member of record) who is holding Shares for a Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall promptly provide to the Company in writing such information as the Company may request, in good faith, in order to determine the Company’s qualification as a REIT and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.

8.6 Remedies Not Limited. Subject to Section 9.1, nothing contained in this Article VIII shall limit the authority of the Manager to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Company and the interests of the Members in preserving the Company’s qualification as a REIT.

8.7 Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article VIII, the Manager shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event Article VIII requires an action by the Manager and this Agreement fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Manager shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this Article VIII. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Manager (which the Manager may make in its sole and absolute discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 8.3) acquired or retained Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares in violation of Section 8.2, such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the Shares which, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such Shares based upon the relative number of the Shares held by each such Person.

8.8 Exceptions.

8.8.1 Subject to Section 8.2.1.2, the Manager, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the Aggregate Ownership Limit and/or the Common Share Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted Holder Limit for such Person if the Manager determines, based on such representations and undertakings as it may require, that:

8.8.1.1 Subject to Section 8.8.5, such exemption will not cause the Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Shares of the Company of any individual (as defined in Section 542(a)(2) of the Code as modified by Section 856(h)(3) of the Code) to violate ‎Section 8.2.1.2; and

8.8.1.2 Such Person does not and will not Constructively own an interest in a tenant (or a tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the Company) that would cause the Company to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.9 percent (9.9%) interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant (for this purpose, a tenant from whom the Company (or an entity owned or controlled by the Company) derives (and is expected to continue to derive) a sufficiently small amount of revenue such that, in the opinion of the Manager, rent from such tenant would not adversely affect the Company’s ability to qualify as a REIT shall not be treated as a tenant of the Company).

8.8.2 Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 8.8.1 the Manager may require a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an Opinion of Counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Company’s qualification as a REIT. Notwithstanding the receipt of any ruling or opinion, the Manager may impose such conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate in connection with granting such exception or waiver or creating any Excepted Holder Limit.

8.8.3 Subject to ‎ Section 13.2(a)(ii), an underwriter which participates in a public offering or a private placement of Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares ) may Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Shares ) in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit, the Common Share Ownership Limit, or both such limits, but only to the extent necessary to facilitate such public offering or private placement.

8.8.4 The Manager may only reduce the Excepted Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder:

8.8.4.1 With the written consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, or

8.8.4.2 Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder. No Excepted Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage that is less than the Common Share Ownership Limit or Aggregate Ownership Limit, as applicable.

8.8.5 Subject to Section 8.2.1.2(ii), the Manager, in its sole discretion, may exempt an Excepted Holder from the limitations in Section 8.2.1.2(i) and Section 8.2.1.1 on Beneficial Ownership and/or Constructive Ownership of Shares that would result in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (determined without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), but only during the first taxable year of the Company for which the Company elects to be a REIT under Section 856(c)(1) of the Code and/or during the first half of the Company’s second taxable year for which the Company elects to be treated as a REIT under Section 856(c)(1) of the Code and only to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership and/or Constructive Ownership for such periods does not result in the Company failing to qualify as a REIT.

8.9 Increase or Decrease in Aggregate Ownership and Common Share Ownership Limits.

8.9.1 Subject to ‎Section 8.2.1.2, the Manager may from time to time increase or decrease the Common Share Ownership Limit and the Aggregate Ownership Limit; provided, however, that any decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Ownership Limit will not be effective for any Person whose percentage ownership in Common Shares or Shares is in excess of such decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Ownership Limit until such time as such Person’s percentage of Common Shares or Shares equals or falls below the decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Ownership Limit, but any further acquisition of Common Shares or Shares in excess of such percentage ownership of Common Shares or Shares will be in violation of the Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Ownership Limit; and provided further, that any increased or decreased Common Share Ownership Limit and/or Aggregate Ownership Limit would not allow five (5) or fewer Persons to Beneficially Own more than 49.9 percent (49.9%) in value of the outstanding Shares.

8.9.2 Prior to increasing or decreasing the Common Share Ownership Limit or the Aggregate Ownership Limit pursuant to ‎Section 8.9.1, the Manager may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements, in any case in form and substance satisfactory to the Manager in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Company’s qualification as a REIT.

8.10 Transfer of Shares in Trust.

8.10.1 Ownership in Trust. Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 8.2.2 that would result in a transfer of Shares to a Trust, such Shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Trustee as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the purported Transfer or other event that results in the transfer to the Trust pursuant to Section 8.2.2. The Trustee shall be appointed by the Company and shall be a Person unaffiliated with the Company and any Prohibited Owner. Each Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the Company as provided in Section 8.10.6.

8.10.2 Status of Shares Held by the Trustee. Shares held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding Shares. The Prohibited Owner shall have no rights in the shares held by the Trustee. The Prohibited Owner shall not benefit economically from ownership of any Shares held in trust by the Trustee, shall have no rights to distributions and shall not possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the Shares held in the Trust.

8.10.3 Distribution and Voting Rights. The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to distributions with respect to Shares held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Company that the Shares have been transferred to the Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of such distribution to the Trustee upon demand and any distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Trustee. Any distribution so paid to the Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Prohibited Owner shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares held in the Trust and, subject to Delaware law, effective as of the date that the Shares have been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee shall have the authority (at the Trustee’s sole discretion) (i) to rescind as void any vote cast by a Prohibited Owner prior to the discovery by the Company that the Shares have been transferred to the Trustee and (ii) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary; provided, however, that if the Company has already taken irreversible limited liability company action, then the Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article VIII, until the Company has received notification that Shares have been transferred into a Trust, the Company shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other Member records for purposes of preparing lists of Members entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of Members.

8.10.4 Sale of Shares by Trustee. Within twenty (20) days of receiving notice from the Company that Shares have been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee of the Trust shall sell the Shares held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the Shares will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in ‎Section 8.2.1. Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 8.10.4. The Prohibited Owner shall receive the lesser of (1) the price paid by the Prohibited Owner for the Shares or, if the event causing the Shares to be held in the Trust did not involve a purchase of such Shares at Market Price, the Market Price of the Shares on the day of the event causing the Shares to be held in the Trust and (2) the price per Share received by the Trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the Shares held in the Trust. The Trustee may reduce the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner by the amount of distributions which have been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.10.3. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. If, prior to the discovery by the Company that Shares have been transferred to the Trustee, such Shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner, then (i) such Shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an amount for such Shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this ‎Section 8.10.4, such excess shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand.

8.10.5 Purchase Right in Shares Transferred to the Trustee. Shares transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Company, or its designee, at a price per Share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per Share in the transaction that resulted in such Transfer to the Trust (or, if the event that resulted in the Transfer to the Trust did not involve a purchase of such Shares at Market Price, the Market Price of such Shares on the day of the event that resulted in the Transfer of such Shares to the Trust) and (ii)the Market Price on the date the Company, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Company may reduce the amount payable to the Trustee by the amount of distributions which has been paid to the Prohibited Owner and are owed by the Prohibited Owner to the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.10.3 and may pay the amount of such reduction to the Trustee for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. The Company shall have the right to accept such offer until the Trustee has sold the Shares held in the Trust pursuant to ‎‎Section 8.10.4. Upon such a sale to the Company, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the Shares sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner.

8.10.6 Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries. By written notice to the Trustee, the Company shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust such that the Shares held in the Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 8.2.1 in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary. Neither the failure of the Company to make such designation nor the failure of the Company to appoint the Trustee before its automatic transfer provided for in Section 8.2.2 shall make such transfer ineffective; provided that the Company thereafter makes such designation and appointment. The designation of a nonprofit organization as a Charitable Beneficiary shall not entitle such nonprofit organization to serve in such capacity and the Company may, in its sole discretion, designate a different nonprofit organization as the Charitable Beneficiary at any time and for any or no reason. Any determination by the Company with respect to the application of this Article VIII shall be binding on each Charitable Beneficiary.

8.11 Enforcement. The Company is authorized specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce the provisions of this Article VIII.

8.12 Non-Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of the Company or its Manager in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any right of the Company or its Manager, as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.

8.13 Severability. If any provision of this Article VIII or any application of any such provision is determined to be invalid by any federal or state court having jurisdiction over the issues, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected and other applications of such provisions shall be affected only to the extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court.

8.2 Death, Insolvency, Etc. Neither the death, disability, bankruptcy, or insolvency of a Member, nor the occurrence of any other voluntary or involuntary event with respect to a Member, shall give the Company or any Member the right to purchase such Member’s Shares, nor give the Member himself (or his heirs, assigns, or representatives) the right to sell such Shares to the Company or any other Member. Instead, such Member or his heirs, assigns, or legal representative shall remain a Member subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.3 Incorporation. If the Manager determines that the business of the Company should be conducted in a corporation rather than in a limited liability company, whether for tax or other reasons, each Member shall cooperate in transferring the business to a newly-formed corporation and shall execute such agreements as the Manager may reasonably determine are necessary or appropriate, consistent with the terms of the this Agreement. In such event each Member shall receive stock in the newly-formed corporation equivalent to his, her or its Shares.

8.5 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Member herby waives any contractual appraisal rights such Member may otherwise have pursuant to 6 Del. C. §18-210 or otherwise, as well as any “dissenter’s rights.”

8.6 Mandatory Redemptions.

8.6.1 Based on ERISA Considerations. The Manager may, at any time, cause the Company to purchase all or any portion of the Shares owned by a Member whose assets are governed by Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, Code section 4975, or any similar Federal, State, or local law, if the Manager determines that all or any portion of the assets of the Company would, in the absence of such purchase, more likely than not be treated as “plan assets” or otherwise become subject to such laws.

8.6.2 Based on Other Bona Fide Business Reasons. The Manager may, at any time, cause the Company to purchase all of the Shares owned by a Member if the Manager determines that such Member (i) has violated any of its obligations to the Company or to the other Members, or (ii) is engaged in, or has engaged in (A) conduct (including but not limited to criminal conduct) that brings the Company, or threatens to bring the Company, into disrepute, or (B) is adverse and fundamentally unfair to the interests of the Company or the other Members.

8.6.3 Purchase Price and Payment. In the case of any purchase of Shares described in this Section 8.6, the purchase price will be the Market Price per share. .

8.6.3.2 Payment. The purchase price shall be paid by wire transfer or other immediately-available funds at closing, which shall be held within sixty (60) days following written notice from the Manager.

8.7 Quarterly Determination of Net Asset Values. At no later than the end of each fiscal quarter beginning January 1, 2020, the Manager shall calculate the net asset value (the “Net Asset Value”) of each asset of the Company that is reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, taking into account such factors as the Manager believes are relevant and appropriate; notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager may value the Company’s debt related assets on a monthly basis. In determining the value of the Company’s real estate assets, the Manager may, but shall not be required to, retain one or more independent appraisers, provided that the value of each real estate asset of the Company shall be determined by appraisal no less frequently than once per twelve (12) months. Market Price per Share for a given fiscal quarter shall be determined by dividing the Company’s Net Asset Value at the end of the prior fiscal quarter by the number of Shares outstanding as of the end of the prior fiscal quarter, after giving effect to any share purchases, redemptions, contributions or distributions made through the end of the prior fiscal quarter.

8.8 Withdrawal. Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement no Investor Member shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon dissolution and winding up of the Company may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, an Investor Member who transfers his Shares pursuant to (i) a transfer permitted under Section 8.1, (ii) a redemption permitted under Section 4.7 in connection with any Redemption Plan or Section 8.6, or (iii) an involuntary transfer by operation of law, shall not be treated as thereby withdrawing from Company; provided, that when any of such transfers occur, such transferring Member shall cease to be a Member of the Company with respect to the Shares so transferred.

ARTICLE IX

TAX MATTERS

9.1 Qualifying and Maintaining Qualification as a REIT. From the effective date of the Company’s election to qualify as a REIT until the Restriction Termination Date (as defined in Article VIII) of the Company, the Manager and its officers shall take such action from time to time as the Manager determines is necessary or appropriate in order to maintain the Company’s qualification as a REIT; provided, however, if the Manager determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Company to continue to be qualified as a REIT, the Manager may authorize the Company to revoke or otherwise terminate its REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code. It is intended that the Company will elect to be treated as a corporation that will elect to be taxed as a REIT prior to the Initial Date (as defined in Article VIII) of the Company until the Restriction Termination Date of the Company.

In the event that in the Manager’s opinion complete liquidation of the assets of the Company within a reasonable period of time proves impractical, assets of the Company other than cash may be distributed to the Members in kind but only after all cash and cash-equivalents have first been distributed and after the Pre-Distribution Adjustment.

Each Member shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the Company’s accountants, which shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of complete liquidation, and the capital account of each Member immediately prior to any distribution in liquidation.
