Any and all funds contributed by the Members pursuant to this Section 4.5 shall be credited to their Capital Accounts and treated as Capital Contributions for all purposes of this Agreement.

4.6 Delinquency Loan. If a Member (a “Defaulting Member”) fails to make a Capital Contribution that is required as provided in Section 4.5 within the time frame required therein (the amount of the failed contribution and related loan shall be the “Delinquency Advance”), then any of the other Members, provided that they have made the Capital Contribution required to be made by them, in addition to any other remedies they may have hereunder or at law, shall have one or more of the following remedies:

to treat its portion of such Capital Contribution as a loan to the Company (rather than a Capital Contribution) and to advance to the Company as a loan to the Company an amount equal to the Delinquency Advance, which aggregate loan amount (the “Delinquency Loan”) shall be evidenced by a promissory note in form reasonably satisfactory to the non-failing Member and which loan shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen (15%) percent per annum, but in no event in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable laws (the “Delinquency Loan Rate”), and be payable on a first priority basis by the Company from available Operating Cash Flow and Extraordinary Cash Flow, prior to any distributions made to the Defaulting Member. If each Member has Delinquency Loans outstanding to the Company under this provision, such Delinquency Loans shall be payable to each Member in proportion to the outstanding balances of such Delinquency Loans to each Member at the time of payment. Any advance to the Company pursuant to this Section 4.6(a) shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution made by the Defaulting Member; in lieu of the remedies set forth in subparagraph (a), revoke its portion of such additional Capital Contribution, whereupon the portion of the Capital Contribution made by the non-failing Member shall be returned within ten (10) days with interest computed at the Delinquency Loan Rate by the Company.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.6, no additional Capital Contributions shall be required under Section 4.5 from any Member if (i) the Company or any other Person shall be in default (or with notice or the passage of time or both, would be in default) in any material respect under any loan, indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) or any of its properties or assets is or may be bound; provided, however, if such additional Capital Contribution is required to cure a monetary default thereunder then this provision shall not apply, (ii) any other Member, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be insolvent or bankrupt or in the process of liquidation, termination or dissolution, (iii) any other Member, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subjected to any pending litigation (x) in which the amount in controversy exceeds $500,000, (y) which litigation is not being defended by an insurance company who would be responsible for the payment of any judgment in such litigation, and (z) which litigation if adversely determined could have a material adverse effect on such other Member and/or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and/or could interfere with their ability to perform their obligations hereunder or under any loan documents with respect to any loan secured by the Property, or (iv) there has been a material adverse change in (including, but not limited to, the financial condition of) any other Member (and/or its Affiliates) which, in Member’s reasonable judgment, prevents such other Member (and/or its Affiliates) from performing, or substantially interferes with their ability to perform, their obligations hereunder or under any loan documents with respect to any loan secured by the Property. If any of the foregoing events shall have occurred and any Member elects not to make a Capital Contribution on account thereof, then any other Member which has made its pro rata share of such Capital Contribution shall be entitled to a return of such Capital Contribution from the Company.

(1) Annual Operating Budget. The Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to the annual operating budget. Any annual operating budget as approved pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) is referred to as the “Annual Operating Budget”. To the extent the Annual Operating Budget is not approved prior to the commencement of the fiscal year to which such budget is to relate, the Annual Operating Budget for the prior fiscal year shall continue to apply, subject only to actual increases for real estate taxes, utilities, payroll and insurance.

(2) Annual Capital Budget. The Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to the annual capital budget. Any annual capital budget as approved pursuant to this Section 6.2(b) is referred to as the “Annual Capital Budget”. To the extent the Annual Capital Budget is not approved prior to the commencement of the fiscal year to which such budget is to relate, the Annual Capital Budget for the prior fiscal year shall continue to apply, subject to the elimination (or reduction) of amounts with respect to any items from such prior year’s budget that were non-recurring items and that were completed in the prior year.

(3) General. All Budgets shall be submitted by JHVG to Investor no later than by November 15 of the year prior to the year to which the Budget shall apply (provided, however that the current Budgets for 2012 shall have been approved by the Managers prior to the execution of this Agreement). Investor shall provide JHVG with any objections to any proposed Budget within fifteen (15) days following delivery of the same for approval and the Managers shall seek in good faith to achieve a mutually agreeable response to Investor’s objections; provided, however, if the Managers are not able to address the Investor’s objections then such Budget shall not be deemed approved and the parties shall continue to have the other remedies available under this Section.

C. Financing. The Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to any loans obtained by the Company, including any refinancing, material amendment, material modification or extension of any loan including the Xxxxxxx Mac Loan.

D. Sale of the Property.

E. Affiliate Transaction. It is hereby acknowledged that Investor has approved the Management Agreement referenced in Section 6.2(a) hereof. Xxxxxxxx’x affiliate, Village Green Construction LLC (“VGC”) will be engaged as the Owner’s Representative under a separate agreement with the Company, pursuant to which VGC will have certain responsibilities relative to the capital improvements as set forth in the approved capital budget, including monitoring progress of the work, attend meetings with the architect, construction manager and/or general contractor, sub-contractors and suppliers, inspectors and government officials, as necessary, review draw requests and change orders; and perform similar tasks, for which VGC will receive a market rate fee based on total costs, billed during construction with the construction draws. In addition, VG Select, Village Green Interiors and Village Green Communications LLC, affiliates of Xxxxxxxx, shall perform services for the Company, including but not limited to decorating, remodeling, advertising, marketing, PR and promotion, and receive compensation on terms no more favorable than any those which would apply to any other third party. In addition, Leading Apartments LLC, an affiliate of Xxxxxxxx, which is a corporate provider of housing, may, from time to time and on a non-exclusive basis with other corporate providers, rent apartment units at the Property on terms that are equal to or better than the Company’s existing leasing policies, which policies may include premiums charged for leases with terms of less than 12 months. In addition, such rental shall be at rental rates and other terms no less favorable to the Company than any other third party tenant leases. To the extent not reviewed and approved by Investor prior to the execution of this Agreement, Xxxxxxxx shall submit any such agreements with Affiliates of Xxxxxxxx to Investor prior to any such agreement becoming effective, and Investor shall have the right to review and approve the proposed terms of any such agreements with Affiliates of Xxxxxxxx. Except as set forth in this Article 6, no other Xxxxxxxx or JHVG Affiliates may be engaged by the Company with respect to the Property except upon terms which are competitive at that time in the relevant market and after giving notice to, and receiving the approval of, Investor of such contract or payments. Further, in the event of a material default with respect to any agreement between the Company and any Xxxxxxxx or JHVG Affiliate, which material default is not cured within the time frame allotted under such agreement, only the Investor Co-Manager shall be authorized to take action with respect to remedies on behalf of the Company relative to such defaulted agreement, including the right to terminate the applicable agreement and to solicit bids for any replacement vendor with respect to the services being performed under the defaulted agreement. In the event that the Investor Co-Manager obtains bids or proposals for any replacement vendor that are satisfactory to Investor, the Investor Co-Manager shall submit such bids or proposals to the other Co-Manager for approval. If the other Co-Manager fails to approve any such bids or proposals within fifteen (15) days thereafter, such failure to agree shall constitute a Deadlock.

F. Mergers. The Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to any merger, conversion or consolidation involving the Company or the sale, lease, transfer, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or all of the Interests of the Members in the Company, in one or a series of related transactions;

G. Transfers. Except as expressly provided in Article 10 with respect to Transfers by Investor or a transferee of Investor to a transferee of Investor and with respect to Transfers by Xxxxxxxx and/or JHVG or a transferee of Xxxxxxxx and/or JHVG to a transferee of Xxxxxxxx and/or JHVG as permitted thereunder, the Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to the admission or removal of any Member or the Company’s issuance to any third party of any equity interest in the Company (including interests convertible into, or exchangeable for, equity interests in the Company);

J. Bad Boy Liability. The Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to any taking of any action by the Company that is reasonably likely to result in any Member or any of its Affiliates having individual liability under any so called “bad boy” guaranties or similar agreements provided to third party lenders in respect of financings relating to the Property, the Company, or any of their assets which provide for recourse as a result of willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence, or for failure to comply with the covenants or any other provisions of such “bad boy” guaranties (each, a “Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty”);

K. Amendments. The Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to any amendment of this Agreement; and

(l) Additional Capital. The Managers shall have equal approval rights with respect to any decision to call for additional capital under Section 4.5.

6.3 Deadlock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Managers do not agree on the Major Decisions (hereinafter referred to as “Deadlock”) then, upon written notice by either Manager to the other, they shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the disputed issue. In the event the Deadlock is not resolved within 30 days after delivery of such notice, the following process shall apply:

(a) If the Deadlock occurs pursuant to Sections 6.2(b), (e), (j) or (l), and is not resolved within ten business days after notice is given, then either Manager may invoke arbitration by giving notice to the other (the “Arbitration Notice”) in which event the dispute shall be determined by arbitration in Detroit, Michigan before one arbitrator. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS pursuant to JAMS’ Expedited Arbitration Rules and Procedures set forth in the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures as those Rules exist on the effective date of this Agreement, including Rules 16.1 and 16.2 of those Rules. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration that is authorized by law or by JAMS Rules from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall be neutral, independent, impartial and experienced in resolving disputes related to the operation of commercial real estate. If the arbitrator cannot be agreed upon within ten days after the Arbitration Notice, then JAMS shall select the arbitrator in accordance with its rules. In any arbitration arising out of or related to this Agreement, the arbitrator shall award to the prevailing party determined by the arbitrator the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the arbitration.

(b) In the event that two Deadlocks have gone to arbitration as described above, or in the event of a Deadlock which pertains to Sections 6.2(c), (d), (f), (g), (h), (i) or (k), either Manager shall have the right to initiate the sale procedure set forth in Section 10.6; provided, for a period of 36 months from and after the date of this Agreement, neither Manager shall have the right to cause a Deadlock by initiating a decision pursuant to such Sections. Provided further, however, from and after the event of the death or adjudication of incapacity of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, the above referenced 36 month period shall no longer apply.

6.4 Operation in Accordance with REOC/REIT Requirements.

(a) The Members acknowledge that Investor or one or more of its Affiliates (a “BR Affiliate”) intends to qualify as a “real estate operating company” or “venture capital operating company” within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101 (a “REOC”), and agree that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be operated in a manner that will enable Investor and such BR Affiliate to so qualify. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not take, or refrain from taking, any action that Investor notifies the Company would result in Investor or a BR Affiliate from failing to qualify as a REOC. Except as disclosed to Investor, Xxxxxxxx and/or JHVG (a) shall not fund any Capital Contribution "with the 'plan assets' of any 'employee benefit plan' within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended or any 'plan' as defined by Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended", and (b) shall comply with any requirements specified by Investor in order to ensure compliance with this Section 6.4.

(b) Except for the Property and the Xxxxxxx Mac Loan (and any refinance thereof), the Company shall not hold any investment, incur any indebtedness or otherwise take any action that would cause any Member of the Company (or any Person holding an indirect interest in the Company through an entity or series of entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) to realize any “unrelated business taxable income” as such term is defined in Code Sections 511 through 514, unless specifically agreed to by the Members in writing. No Manager or other Member shall be liable for any income or other taxes, damages, costs or expenses incurred by the Company or any Member by reason of the recognition by the Company of UBTI, unless caused by its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) The Company may not engage in any activities or hold any assets that would constitute or result in the occurrence of a REIT Prohibited Transaction as defined herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, during the time a REIT Member is a Member of the Company, neither the Company nor any Member of the Company shall take or refrain from taking any action which, or the effect of which, would constitute or result in the occurrence of a REIT Prohibited Transaction by the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but in amplification thereof:

(i) Entering into any lease, license, concession or other agreement or permitting any sublease, license, concession or other agreement that provides for rent or other payment based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, excluding for this purpose a lease that provides for rent based in whole or in part on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales of any person without reduction for any costs of the lessee (and in the case of a sublease, without reduction for any sublessor costs);

(ii) Leasing personal property, excluding for this purpose a lease of personal property that is entered into in connection with a lease of real property where the rent attributable to the personal property is less than 15% of the total rent provided for under the lease;

(iii) Acquiring or holding any debt investments, excluding for these purposes “debt” solely between wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company, unless (I) the amount of interest income received or accrued by the Company under such loan does not, directly or indirectly, depend in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, or entering into any lending transaction unless the loan made by the Company meets an exception set forth in Section 856(m)(l) of the Code and (II) the debt is fully secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property;

(iv) Acquiring or holding, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding securities of any one issuer (by vote or value) other than an entity which either (i) is taxable as a partnership or a disregarded entity for United States federal income tax purposes, (ii) has properly elected to be a taxable REIT subsidiary of the REIT Member by jointly filing with REIT, IRS Form 8875, or (iii) has properly elected to be a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v) Entering into any agreement where the Company receives amounts, directly or indirectly, for rendering services to the tenants of any property that is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company other than (i) amounts received for services that are customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of real property of a similar class in the geographic areas in which the Property is located where such services are either provided by (A) an Independent Contractor (as defined in Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) who is adequately compensated for such services and from which the Company or REIT Member do not, directly or indirectly, derive revenue or (B) a taxable REIT subsidiary of REIT Member who is adequately compensated for such services or (ii) amounts received for services that are customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only (as opposed to being rendered primarily for the convenience of the Property’s tenants);

(vi) Entering into any agreement where a material amount of income received or accrued by the Company under such agreement, directly or indirectly, does not qualify as either (i) “rents from real property” or (ii) “interest on obligations secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property,” in each case as such terms are defined in Section 856(c) of the Code;

(vii) Holding cash of the Company available for operations or distribution in any manner other than a traditional bank checking or savings account or money market fund;

(viii) Selling or disposing of any property, subsidiary or other asset of the Company prior to (i) the completion of a two (2) year holding period with such period to begin on the date the Company acquires a direct or indirect interest in such property and begins to hold such property, subsidiary or asset for the production of rental income, and (ii) the satisfaction of any other requirements under Section 857 of the Code necessary for the avoidance of a prohibited transaction tax on the REIT; or

(ix) To the extent Operating Cash Flow is available, failing to make current cash distributions to REIT Member each year in an amount which does not at least equal the taxable income allocable to REIT Member for such year.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4, the Company may enter into a REIT Prohibited Transaction if it receives the prior written approval of the REIT Member specifically acknowledging that the REIT Member is approving a REIT Prohibited Transaction pursuant to this Section 6.4. For purposes of this Section 6.4, “REIT Prohibited Transactions” shall mean any of the actions specifically set forth in Sections 6.4(c)(i) through (c)(ix) as well as any action of which the Company receives timely, advance written notice from Investor or a REIT Member that such action would result in a REIT Member losing its REIT status under IRC Section 856 or would cause such REIT Member to be subject to any punitive taxation pursuant to IRC Section 857(b)(6). The Xxxxxxx Mac Loan shall not be considered a REIT Prohibited Transaction. No Manager or other Member shall be liable for a violation of Section 6.4(c) unless such violation is caused by its own willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Further, the Company shall require that the Property Manager cooperate in a reasonable manner at the request of any Member to work in good faith with any designated accountants or auditors of such Member or its Affiliates so that such Member or its Affiliate is able to comply with its public reporting, attestation, certification and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable to such entity, and to work in good faith with the designated accountants or auditors of the Member or any of its Affiliates in connection therewith, including for purposes of testing internal controls and procedures of such Member or its Affiliates. Investor shall bear the cost of any information or reports provided to Investor pursuant to this Section 7.1(e).

Upon completion of the audit report described in Section 7.1 (the “Approved Statement”), a comparison shall be made of the actual Operating Cash Flow to the Operating Cash Flow distributed pursuant to Section 9.3. To the extent that the Company has made a distribution to a Member (the “Excess Member”) in excess of the amount which the Excess Member should have received based on a distribution of Operating Cash Flow set forth in the Approved Statement, the Excess Member shall recontribute to the Company within fifteen (15) days after the creation of the applicable Approved Statement the excess amount (the “Excess Amount”) received by it. The Company shall then distribute such Excess Amount (1) first, to any Member who received a distribution less than such Member should have received based on the distribution of Operating Cash Flow set forth in the Approved Statement, an amount equal to such deficiency and (2) second, to the extent of the remaining Excess Amount, in accordance with Section 9.3.

The TMP shall comply with the requirements of Section 6221 through 6232 of the Code.

Each Member's Capital Account shall be increased by the amount of cash, and fair market value of any other property, contributed by such Member to the Company’s capital and by the Member's share of any Profits and items of income or gain of the Company. Each Member's Capital Account shall be decreased by the amount of cash and fair market value of any other property distributed to the Member and by the Member's share of any Losses and items of expense or loss of the Company. In accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q) of the Treasury Regulations, each Member's Capital Account shall be adjusted in a manner that maintains equality between the aggregate of all of the Members' Capital Accounts and the amount of capital reflected on the Company's balance sheet as computed for book purposes. Any transferee of an interest in the Company shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred interest. Accordingly, the Investor, as the purchaser of one-half of Xxxxxxxx’x and one-half of JHVG’s interest in the Company, shall succeed to 50% of Xxxxxxxx’x and JHVG’s Capital Account.

9.6 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

A. Any “nonrecourse deductions” shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

B. For purposes of determining the Members’ respective shares of “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company under Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3, each Member’s “percentage interest in partnership profits” shall be equal to such Member’s Percentage Interest.

C. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9, if there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” during any Company taxable year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such taxable year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in “partnership minimum gain,” determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 9.6(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

D. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 9, if there is a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” attributable to a “partner nonrecourse debt” during any Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of the “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” attributable to such “partner nonrecourse debt,” determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” attributable to such “partner nonrecourse debt,” determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations. This Section 9.6(d) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

E. Any “partner nonrecourse deductions” for any taxable year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the ‘partner nonrecourse debt” to which such “partner nonrecourse deductions” are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

F. The allocation contained in this Section 9.6(f) is intended to be a “qualified income offset” as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such regulation. After giving effect to the other allocations set forth in this Section 9.6, items of gross income and gain shall be allocated to each Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, as quickly as possible, any deficit in such Member’s Adjusted Augmented Capital Account to the extent that such deficit is created or increased by any unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4)-(6).

9.7 Allocations of Profits and Losses for Tax Purposes. The following allocations are solely, for tax purposes, and shall not affect the Members’ Capital Accounts:

A. For federal tax purposes, in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code, gain with respect to any property which may be contributed shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company and the fair market value at the time of contribution in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code. Any difference between the Book Value and tax basis of any property resulting from a revaluation pursuant to Section 4.7 above shall also be taken into account under the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder using the so-called “traditional method” of Section 1.704-3(b) of the Regulations unless the Members otherwise expressly agree.

B. Consistent with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1245-1(e) (or its successor), any recapture of depreciation deduction shall be allocated to the Member to whom (or to the predecessors in interest of whom) were allocated the prior depreciation deductions.

C. The Company shall elect, under Sections 743 and 754 of the Code, to adjust the Investor’s share of the tax basis of the Company’s assets to take account of the Investor’s purchase of interests in the Company from Xxxxxxxx and JHVG. Any change in the amount of the depreciation deducted by the Company, and any change in the gain or loss of the Company, for Federal income tax purposes, resulting from such adjustment, shall be allocated entirely to the Investor; provided, however, neither the Capital Accounts of, nor the amount of any cash distributions to, the Members shall be affected as a result of such election, and the making of such election shall have no effect except for Federal income tax purposes.

9.8 Acquisition Fee and Recap Fee. On the date Investor acquires its interest in the Company, Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C shall earn, and the Company shall pay, an acquisition fee (the “Acquisition Fee”) equal to (a) one percent (1%) of the value of the Property as of Closing, as agreed to by and between the Members as of the closing multiplied by (b) the Percentage Interest of Investor in the Company (i.e. 50%). The Acquisition Fee shall be paid to, or as directed by, Bluerock Real Estate, L.L.C. The funding of the Acquisition Fee shall constitute part of the Capital Contributions being remitted by Investor, and shall be included in the calculation of any returns payable to Investor on Investor’s Capital Contributions. In addition, on the date Investor acquires its interest in the Company, Xxxxxxxx shall earn, and the Company shall pay, a recapitalization fee (the “Recap Fee”) in the amount of $150,000. The Recap Fee shall be paid to, or as directed by, Xxxxxxxx. The funding of the Recap Fee shall constitute part of Xxxxxxxx’x and JHVG’s Capital Contributions, and shall be included in the calculation of any returns payable on Xxxxxxxx’x and JHVG’s Capital Contributions.

ARTICLE 10

ASSIGNMENT AND OFFER TO PURCHASE

10.1 Transfers. The Members, or any assignee or successor in interest of the Members, may not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, give, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer its interest in the Company, or in any part thereof, or in all or any part of the assets of the Company, other than as provided in this Article 10. A sale, assignment or other transfer by Investor or Xxxxxxxx or JHVG of a portion of its equity interest (a “Partial Interest”) or its entire equity interest in the Company (an “Entire Interest”) to an Affiliate (which shall for purposes hereof include the BR REIT or REIT Member with respect to Investor) shall be a transfer permitted under this Article 10 and neither Investor nor JHVG nor Xxxxxxxx shall be required to obtain the consent of, nor offer the interest to be sold, assigned or transferred to, any other Member; provided that (a) any Affiliate of Xxxxxxxx or JHVG shall be managed, directly or indirectly, by or otherwise under the control of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, (b) any such transfer shall be permitted under any applicable loan documents securing the Xxxxxxx Mac Loan and/or any other loans secured, in whole or in part, by the Property, (c) the transferring party shall give written notice of any such transfer to the other Member and (d) any transfer of an indirect, non-controlling interest in any Member shall not constitute a transfer under this Agreement.

10.2 Intentionally Omitted

10.3 Assumption by Assignee. Any assignment of either a Partial Interest or an Entire Interest in the Company under this Article 10 shall be in writing, shall, unless specifically permitted under Section 10.1 with respect to transfers to Affiliates, require the consent of the other Members (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and shall be an assignment and transfer of all of the assignor’s rights and obligations hereunder, and the assignee shall expressly agree in writing to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement and assume and agree to perform all of the assignor’s agreements and obligations existing or arising at the time of and subsequent to such assignment with respect to the transferred interest. Upon any such permitted assignment of the assignor’s Interest, and after such assumption, the assignee shall become a Member in place of (or in the case of a Partial Interest in addition to) the assignor and the assignor shall, in the case of an assignment of the Entire Interest, be relieved of its agreements and obligations hereunder arising after such assignment. An executed counterpart of each such assignment, whether of a Partial Interest or an Entire Interest, in the Company and assumption of a Member’s obligations shall be delivered to each Member and to the Company. The assignee shall pay all expenses incurred by the Company in (i) admitting the assignee as a Member and/or (ii) complying with and satisfying any mortgage lender requirements and charges relative to such assignment. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no permitted assignment shall terminate the Company.

As a condition to any assignment of an Interest, the selling Member shall obtain such consents as may be required from lenders and other third parties, if any, or waivers thereof. The other Members shall, if such transfer is consented to by such Member or does not require any such Member consent, reasonably cooperate with the assigning Member in obtaining such consents or waivers.

10.4 Amendment of Certificate of Formation. If an assignment of an Entire Interest in the Company shall take place pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10, then the continuing Members promptly thereafter shall cause to be filed, to the extent necessary, an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Formation with all applicable state authorities, together with any necessary amendments to the fictitious or assumed name(s) of the Company in order to reflect such change or take such similar action as may be required.

10.5 Other Assignments Void.

A. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 10, no other sale, assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or other transfer (including any transfer by dissolution, merger or distribution of assets) by a Member of its interest in the Company, or in any part thereof, or in all or any part of the assets of the Company shall be permitted. Any purported assignment or transfer of an interest in the Company not otherwise permitted by this Article 10 shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

B. Except as otherwise permitted in Section 10.1 hereof, any Member which is an incorporated or unincorporated business or limited liability company and any permitted assignee of any Partial Interest or of the Entire Interest of such Member shall not permit, without the prior written consent of Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the admission of any new equity interest holder to such entity or the assignment to any person or entity, who is not now an equity interest holder or an Affiliate of an equity interest holder in such entity, of any kind of interest whatsoever in such entity. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, membership interests in Xxxxxxxx may be transferred to or among employees of Xxxxxxxx at any time without the prior written consent of Investor, provided that (i) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx directly owns at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the equity of Xxxxxxxx and (ii) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx is the controlling “Manager” of Xxxxxxxx.

C. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 10.5 to the contrary, any Member which is an incorporated or an unincorporated business entity may admit additional equity participants to such entity, provided that (x), subject to the last sentence of Section 10.5(b) above, at no time will the equity holders of such entity at the time such entity becomes a Member under this Agreement own, in the aggregate, less than the requisite voting equity interests in such entity pursuant to the Xxxxxxx Mac Loan documents, and (y) in the case of Xxxxxxxx and JHVG, at no time will management and control of such entity, directly or indirectly, be vested in any party or parties other than in Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx.

10.6 Right to Cause Sale of Property.

(a) By consent of the Managers, the Members may, at any time, decide to sell the Property on terms and conditions unanimously acceptable to the Members. In such event, the Company shall employ, at the Company’s expense, an exclusive broker or investment banker to market the Property, and the marketing process carried out by such broker or investment banker will conclusively determine the fair market value of the Property.

(b) Absent unanimous consent of the Managers, in the event of a Section 6.3(b) Deadlock, or any time subsequent to three (3) years after the Effective Date, either Manager may require the sale by the Company of the Property (or Investor’s Entire Interest) under the following terms and conditions:

(i)

The Managers shall, in good faith, attempt to negotiate mutually agreeable price and terms for a period of up to 60 days, and following a resolution of such terms and price, Xxxxxxxx shall have the right to purchase the Property (or the Investor’s Entire Interest) for such price and terms by giving Investor written notice of such election within ten (10) days thereafter. Failing the parties ability to come to terms on acceptable price and terms of sale, Investor shall provide Xxxxxxxx with a letter of intent specifying the general terms upon which Investor desires to sell the Property (the “Offering Notice”), which Offering Notice shall provide for at least 90 days to close, and Xxxxxxxx shall have a right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) to purchase the Property on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice (or to purchase Investor’s Entire Interest on equivalent terms). Xxxxxxxx shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Offering Notice to notify Investor in writing of its election to exercise its Right of First Offer.

(ii)

If Xxxxxxxx exercises its Right of First Offer to purchase the Property (or Investor’s Entire Interest) on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Offering Notice, then the closing shall proceed in accordance with the Offering Notice. If Xxxxxxxx declines to exercise its Right of First Offer, or Xxxxxxxx fails to notify Investor in writing, within the foregoing thirty (30) day period, with respect to whether Xxxxxxxx desires to exercise its Right of First Offer, then the parties shall commence the appraisal process described on Exhibit C attached hereto. Upon the delivery of the written, final “Appraised Value” (defined in Exhibit C) of the Property, the Right of First Offer shall be automatically revised to include a price equal to the Appraised Value of the Property, unless Investor determines, in its sole discretion, within twenty (20) days after delivery of the Appraisal Value (“Investor Notice Period”) that it does not wish to proceed with the sale, in which event Investor shall notify Xxxxxxxx in writing of such election and the sale process will be cancelled. If Investor does not elect to cancel the sale pursuant to the previous sentence in this subsection (ii), Xxxxxxxx shall have twenty (20) days from the sooner of the expiration of the Investor Notice Period, or date of receipt of Investor’s notice that it does not elect to cancel, in which to notify Investor in writing of its election to exercise its Right of First Offer at the updated price. In the event that Investor elects to cancel the sale during the Investor Notice Period, then thereafter, either Manager may elect to send an Arbitration Notice to the other relative to the Deadlock event which caused this buyout process to be initiated in the first place.

(iii)

If Xxxxxxxx exercises its Right of First Offer to purchase the Property at the updated price, then the closing shall proceed in accordance with the Offering Notice. If Xxxxxxxx further declines to exercise its Right of First Offer, or Xxxxxxxx fails to notify Investor in writing, within the foregoing twenty (20) day period, with respect to whether Xxxxxxxx desires to exercise its Right of First Offer, then, for a period of one (1) year after the date of Xxxxxxxx’x rejection (or deemed rejection) of its Right of First Offer, Investor shall be entitled to require the Company to sell the Property. Such sale shall be on substantially the same terms as are set forth in the Offering Notice. For purposes hereof, a sale shall be on “substantially the same terms” as are set forth in the Offering Notice, if (A) the purchase price paid by a third party is at least equal to or greater than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Appraised Value and (B) the remaining material terms are not materially less favorable to the Company than those terms set forth in the Offering Notice.

10.7 Provisions Generally Applicable to Sales. The following provisions shall be applicable to sales under Sections 10.6 and/or 13.2, as indicated:

A. For purposes of any sale of an Entire Interest of a Member, the Members shall adjust the purchase price to reflect liabilities and income of the Company not reflected in the Company’s financial statements available to all Members at the time of the notice of election. The purchase price, as so adjusted, shall be subject to such post-closing adjustments as the circumstances may require. The amount to be paid shall be calculated based on the purchase price, as so adjusted, and distributable pursuant to the calculation set forth in Section 9.3(b), payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the seller’s account. All prorations of real estate taxes, rents, etc., shall be made as of the date of sale. All transfer taxes and recording fees shall be paid for by the party usually charged with such payment under local custom.

B. In connection with the sale of any Member’s Entire Interest to another Member, if there shall be one or more outstanding Loan(s) by the selling Member to the Company, such Loan(s), including interest thereon accrued and unpaid, shall be purchased at par by the purchasing Member for the principal amount thereof and accrued and unpaid interest thereon as a condition precedent to such sale. The purchase price for such Loan(s) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the selling Member’s account. At the closing, the selling Member shall deliver to the purchasing Member each note and bond evidencing such Loan(s) and all documents securing the same and an assignment or satisfaction, at purchasing Member’s option and in a form acceptable to the purchasing Member.

C. On payment of the purchase price for an Entire Interest, the purchasing Member shall, at its option, either (1) obtain a release of the selling Member from all liability, direct or contingent, by all holders of all Company debts, obligations or claims against the Company for which any Member is or may be personally liable except for any debts, obligations or claims which are fully insured by public liability insurer(s) acceptable to the selling Member, or (2) cause all such debts, obligations or claims to be paid in full at the closing, or (3) deliver to the selling Member an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the selling Member from the Company to defend, indemnify and save the selling Member harmless from any actions, claims or loss arising from any debt, obligation or claim of the Company arising prior to date of sale.

D. All Members (including the selling Member) shall be entitled to any distributions of Operating Cash Flow from the Company following the giving of the notice of election and until the closing.

E. At the closing of the sale of the Entire Interest of a Member, the selling Member shall execute an assignment of its interest in the Company, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and adverse claims, which assignment shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the purchasing Member, and such other instruments as the purchasing Member shall reasonably require to assign the Entire Interest of the selling Member to such person or entity as the purchasing Member may designate. For any sale or transfer under this Article 10, the purchasing Member may designate an assignee to take ownership of the Entire Interest, which assignee need not be an Affiliate of the Purchasing Member, subject to the other Members’ reasonable consent.

F. In the event of a purchase and sale pursuant to Section 13.2, the Company shall be dissolved and terminated as of the closing date of the sale, and on the closing date the Members shall execute and file a Certificate of Cancellation of the Company’s Certificate of Formation. The Members shall reasonably cooperate in taking all steps necessary in connection with the dissolution and termination of the Company.

G. At the election of the purchasing Member, the purchase and sale of an Entire Interest will be structured to avoid, if possible, a termination of the Company for Federal tax purposes and/or under the Act.

H. Any transfer or purported transfer of any Interest, whether to another Member or to a third party, shall be of no effect and void ab initio, and such transferee shall not become a Member or an owner of the purportedly transferred Interest, if the Members determine in their sole discretion that:

(i) the transfer would require registration of any Interest under, or result in a violation of, any federal or state securities laws;

(ii) the transfer would result in a termination of the Company under Code Section 708(b) (except for transfers specifically approved by the Members or Affiliate Transfers pursuant to 10.1);

(iii) as a result of such transfer the Company would be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder;

(iv) if as a result of such transfer the aggregate value of Interests held by “benefit plan investors” including at least one benefit plan investor that is subject to ERISA, could be “significant” (as such terms are defined in U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101(f)(2)) with the result that the assets of the Company could be deemed to be “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA;

(v) as a result of such transfer, the Company would or may have in the aggregate more than one hundred (100) members and material adverse federal income tax consequences would result to a Member. For purposes of determining the number of members under this Section 10.7(b)(v), a Person (the “Beneficial Owner”) indirectly owning an interest in the Company through a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation (as such terms are used in the Code) (the “Flow-Through Entity”) shall be considered a member, but only if (i) substantially all of the value of the Beneficial Owner’s interest in the Flow-Through Entity is attributable to the Flow-Through Entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Company and (ii) in the sole discretion of the Managers, a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity is to permit the Company to satisfy the 100-member limitation.

ARTICLE 11

DISSOLUTION OR BANKRUPTCY OF A MEMBER

11.1 Bankruptcy, etc. In the event:

A. any Member shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or seek any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief for itself under the present or any future Federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable Federal, state, or other statute or law relative to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator of said Member or its interest in the Company (the term “acquiesce” includes but is not limited to the failure to file a petition or motion to vacate or discharge any order, judgment or decree providing for such appointment within ten (10) days after the appointment); or

B. a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against any Member seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future Federal bankruptcy code or any other present or future applicable Federal, state or other statute or law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors, and said Member shall acquiesce in the entry for such order, judgment or decree (the term “acquiesce” includes but is not limited to the failure to file a petition or motion to vacate or discharge such order, judgment or decree within ten (10) days after the entry of the order, judgment or decree) or such order, judgment or decree shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive) from the date of entry thereof, or any trustee, receiver, conservator or liquidator of said Member or of all or any substantial part of said Member’s property or its interest in the Company shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of said Member and such appointment shall remain unvacated and unstayed for an aggregate of sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive); or

C. any Member shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature; or

D. any Member shall give notice to any governmental body of insolvency, or pending insolvency, or suspension or pending suspension of operations; or

E. any Member shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or take any other similar action for the protection or benefit of creditors;

then, any such event shall cause the dissolution of the Company and the other Member shall be the Liquidating Member.

11.2 Reconstitution. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1, the remaining Members may, within ninety (90) days of any event described in this Article 11, agree by unanimous written consent to (1) continue the Company or (2) transfer the assets of the Company to a newly organized entity and accept ownership interests in such entity in exact proportion to their respective interests in the Company at the time of dissolution, provided that at the time the event described in this Article 11 occurs, the Company has at least two (2) continuing Members. An appropriate amendment to or cancellation of the Certificate of Formation and all other filings required by law shall be made in accordance with any action taken pursuant to this Section 11.2.

ARTICLE 12

DEFAULT

12.1 Defaults. After the Effective Date, if any Member fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder, breaches any of the terms, conditions or covenants of this Agreement, then the other Member (“Nondefaulting Member”) shall have the right to give such Member (“Defaulting Member”) a notice of default (“Notice of Default”). The Notice of Default shall set forth the nature of the obligation which the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable) has not performed.

A. If such default is not curable by the payment or expenditure of money and if, within the thirty (30) day period following receipt of the Notice of Default or within such shorter time period that may be specified in the Affiliate Agreement, the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable) in good faith commences to perform such obligation and cure such default and thereafter prosecutes to completion with diligence and continuity the curing thereof and cures such default within a reasonable time, or within such shorter time period that may be specified in the Affiliate Agreement, then it shall be deemed that the Notice of Default was not given and the Defaulting Member shall lose no rights hereunder. If, within such thirty (30) day period, or within such shorter time period that may be specified in the Affiliate Agreement, the Defaulting Member (or its Affiliate, if applicable) does not commence in good faith the curing of such default or does not thereafter prosecute to completion with diligence and continuity the curing thereof, then the Nondefaulting Member shall have the rights set forth in Section 12.1(c).

B. If such default is curable by the payment or expenditure of money other than a default described in Section 4.6 which sets forth its own time periods for cure, and if such sums of money shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Notice of Default with respect thereto, or within such shorter time period as may be specified in the Affiliate Agreement, then it shall be deemed that such Notice of Default was not given and the Defaulting Member shall lose no rights hereunder. If such sums are not so paid within such fifteen (15) day period, or within such shorter time period as may be specified in the Affiliate Agreement, then the Nondefaulting Member shall have the rights set forth in Section 12.1(c) in addition to the rights under Section 4.5 (to the extent applicable).

C. If any default is not cured as set forth in Sections 12.1(a) or 12.1(b) or if any default set forth in Section 12.1(c) occurs, the Nondefaulting Member shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving the Defaulting Member written notice thereof, whereupon such default may be treated by the Nondefaulting Member as a dissolution of the Company, and the Nondefaulting Member shall be the “Liquidating Member”.

Failure by a Nondefaulting Member to give any notice of a default as specified herein, or any failure to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any such breach or any of the terms of this Agreement. No breach shall be waived nor shall any duty to be performed be altered or modified except by written instrument. One or more waivers or failure to give notice of default shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent or continuing breach of the same covenant.

12.2 Negation of Right to Dissolve by Will of Member. Except as set forth in Articles 4, 10 and 11 and in Section 12.1, no Member shall have the right to terminate this Agreement or dissolve the Company by its express will or by withdrawal without the consent of the Managers. Upon any dissolution occurring by operation of law or caused by the express will or withdrawal of one of the Members in contravention of this Agreement, the Members not causing the dissolution shall be the Liquidating Member; provided however if the Members causing the dissolution are either Xxxxxxxx or JHVG, then the Investor shall be the Liquidating Member.

12.3 Non-Exclusive Remedy. The rights granted in Section 12.1 shall not be deemed an exclusive remedy of the Nondefaulting Member, but all other rights and remedies, legal and equitable, shall be available to it.

ARTICLE 13

DISSOLUTION

13.1 Winding Up by Members. Upon dissolution of the Company by expiration of the term hereof, by operation of law, by any provision of this Agreement or by agreement among the Members, the Company’s business shall be wound up and all its assets distributed in liquidation. In such dissolution, except as otherwise expressly provided in Articles 4, 10, 11 and 12, the Members shall be co-liquidating Members. In such event the Members shall have the right to wind up the Company and shall proceed to cause the Company’s property to be sold and to distribute the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 13.4. Except in respect of (i) all assets on which a single, non-severable mortgage or other lien will be in effect after such distribution, and (ii) any assets which the Members shall determine are not readily severable or distributable in kind, the Members, to the extent that liquidation of such assets is not required to fulfill the payments, if any, under subsections (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of Section 13.4, shall, if they agree, have the right to distribute, in kind, all or a portion of the assets of the Company to the Members.

13.2 Winding Up by Liquidating Member. In a dissolution pursuant to either Articles 4, 10, 11 or 12, the Liquidating Member shall be as therein provided and such Liquidating Member shall have the right to wind up the Company and cause the Company’s assets to be sold and the proceeds of sale distributed as provided in Section 13.4.

13.3 Distributions of Operating Cash Flow. Subject to Section 13.4 hereof as to proceeds of liquidation, upon the dissolution of the Company for any reason during the period of liquidation and until termination of the Company the Members shall continue to receive the Operating Cash Flow and to share profits and losses for all tax and other purposes as provided elsewhere in this Agreement.

13.4 Distributions of Proceeds of Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 13.4, “proceeds of liquidation” shall equal cash available for liquidation, net of liens secured by the Property, provided that neither the Company nor any of the Members shall be personally liable on, or they shall be released from such debts. The proceeds of liquidation shall be applied in the following order of priority:

A. First. To the payment of:

(1) debts and liabilities of the Company except Delinquency Loans (as referenced in Sections 13.4(c) and (d) below) that may have been made by any of the Members to the Company, and

(2) expenses of liquidation.

B. Second. To the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, may deem necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or of the Members arising out of or in connection with the Company. Said reserves may be deposited by the Company in a bank or trust company acceptable to the Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, to be held by it for the purpose of disbursing such reserves in payment of any of the aforementioned liabilities or obligations, and at the expiration of such period as the Liquidating Member or Members, as the case may be, shall deem advisable, distributing the balance, if any, thereafter remaining, in a manner hereinafter provided.

C. Third. To the repayment of any Delinquency Loans that may have been made by any of the Members pursuant to Section 4.6, but if the amount available for such repayment shall be insufficient to repay all Loans, then repayment shall be made pro rata in accordance with the outstanding principal balances, including accrued interest, on such Loans.

D. Fourth. To the repayment of any Delinquency Loans that may have been made by any of the Members pursuant to Section 4.6, but if the amount available for such repayment shall be insufficient to repay all Delinquency Loans, then repayment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 4.6.

E. Fifth. Any remaining amount shall be distributed pursuant to Section 9.3(b).

No Member shall be obligated to make any contributions to the Company as a result of such Member having a negative balance in its Capital Account.

13.5 Orderly Liquidation. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the discharge of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the losses normally attendant upon a liquidation.

13.6 Financial Statements. During the period of winding up, the Company’s then independent certified public accountants shall prepare and furnish to each of the Members, until complete liquidation is accomplished, all the financial statements provided for in Section 7.1.

LIABILITY/INDEMNIFICATIONS

14.1 Liability. A Member shall not be personally liable for the debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Member will be liable for any distributions made to it, if, after such distribution, the outstanding liabilities of the Company (other than liabilities to Members on account of their interests in the Company and liabilities for which the recourse of creditors is limited to specific Company property) exceed the fair value of the Company’s assets (provided that the fair value of Company property that secures recourse liability shall be included only to the extent its fair value exceeds such liability) and the Member had knowledge of this fact at the time the referenced distribution was received.

14.2 Exculpation of Members, Managers and Their Representatives. No Member or Manager shall be liable to the Company or to the other Members for damages or otherwise with respect to any actions or failures to act taken or not taken relating to the Company, except to the extent any related loss results from fraud, gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct on the part of such Member or Manager. For purposes of this Section 14, officers, directors, employees, agents, appointees and other representatives of the Member or of the Manager, or of their respective Affiliates, who are functioning on behalf of such Member or Manager in connection with this Agreement (collectively, “Representatives”) shall receive the same benefits of exculpation from liability and of indemnification, as provided to Members or Managers as set forth herein.

14.3 Indemnification by Company. The Company hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and defends the Members, the Managers and the Representatives (each, an “Indemnitee”) from and against any loss, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by them (including but not limited to any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim) by reason of or arising out of (a)(i) their activities on behalf of the Company or in furtherance of the interests of the Company, including, without limitation, the provision of guaranties to third party lenders in respect of financings relating to the Company or any of its assets (but specifically excluding from such indemnity by the Company any liability under Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranties triggered as a result of such Indemnitee’s breach thereof), (ii) their status as Members, Managers or Representatives of the Company, or (iii) the Company’s assets, property, business or affairs (including, without limitation, the actions of any officer, director, member or employee of the Company), if (b) the Indemnitee’s acts or omissions were not performed or omitted fraudulently or as a result of gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing herein shall be construed to cause the Company to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnitee from any liability under a Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty to the extent that any such liability thereunder arises as a result of a bad act (e.g. fraud, misrepresentation, gross negligence, etc.) of any Indemnitee and, to the extent there is a separate backstop agreement or other indemnity arrangement by and between the Indemnitees with respect to any such liability, the parties thereto shall first pursue their recover under any such backstop agreement before pursuing any indemnification against the Company with respect to any such Non-Recourse Carveout Guaranty and no party that is held liable for any payment under any such backstop agreement or other indemnification agreement shall be entitled to recover any payments made by such Indemnitee with respect to any such indemnification obligations from the Company pursuant to this Section. Reasonable expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with any such proceeding relating to the foregoing matters shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt by the Company of (x) written affirmation by the Person requesting indemnification of its good faith belief that it has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company and (y) a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Person has not met such standard of conduct, which undertaking shall be an unlimited general obligation of the indemnified party but need not be secured.

14.4 Indemnification by Members for Misconduct.

(a) Xxxxxxxx and JHVG hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, Investor, each permitted transferee of Investor and each of their subsidiaries and their officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, employees, agents and appointees from and against all losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of or arising out of any fraud, gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct on the part of, or by, Xxxxxxxx or JHVG.

(b) Investor hereby indemnifies, defends and holds harmless the Company, Xxxxxxxx, JHVG, each permitted transferee of Xxxxxxxx and/or JHVG and each of their subsidiaries and their officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, employees, agents and appointees from and against all losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of or arising out of any fraud, gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct on the part of, or by, Investor.

14.5 General Indemnification by the Members.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, each Member (the “Indemnifying Party”) hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the other Members, the Company and each of their subsidiaries and their officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, employees, agents and appointees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all losses, costs, expenses, damages, claims and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) as a result of or arising out of (i) any breach of any obligation of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, or (ii) any breach of any obligation by or any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates, whether in this Agreement, an Affiliate Agreement or in any other agreement with respect to the Property (or interests therein), assets, agreements, rights or other interests conveyed, assigned, contributed or otherwise transferred to the Company.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other agreement, recourse for the indemnity obligation of the Members under this Section 14.5 shall be limited to such Indemnifying Party’s Interest in the Company.

14.6 Survival. The indemnities, contributions and other obligations under this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at law, in equity or otherwise. The terms of this Section 14 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement nor the performance of any obligations hereunder nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (i) is subject to any requirement that JHVG, Xxxxxxxx or the Company obtain any consent, approval or authorization of, or make any declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or third party which has not been obtained (other than building permits, certificates of occupancy and operating permits which the Company will seek), or (ii) will result in any breach, constitute any default, or result in the imposition of any lien or encumbrance on any legal or beneficial interest in JHVG, Xxxxxxxx or the Company under any contract, instrument, order or other matter to which JHVG, Xxxxxxxx or the Company is a party or by which JHVG, Xxxxxxxx, or the Company is bound.

5. There are no actions, suits, claims, litigation, proceedings or investigations, at law or in equity, or by any Governmental Authority or other Person against JHVG or Xxxxxxxx or the Company, which if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on JHVG’s, Xxxxxxxx’x or the Company’s ability to meet their respective obligations in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, or which would have a material adverse effect on the Property or which would have a material reportable effect on the Schedule B-3 balance sheet; nor does JHVG or Xxxxxxxx have any knowledge of any basis for any such actions, suits, claims, litigation, proceedings or investigations.

SECTION II

Representations and Warranties of each Member

Each Member represents and warrants to the other that to the best of its knowledge and belief, the following are true and correct as of the date hereof:

Such Member is duly licensed or qualified to do business and in good standing in each of the jurisdictions in which the failure to be so licensed or qualified would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. Such Member has the corporate, partnership or company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or company action. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Member.

2. No Conflict with Restrictions; No Default.

4. Litigation. Except as disclosed to the Member relying on this representation, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or investigations pending, or, to the knowledge of such Member or any of its Affiliates, threatened against or affecting such Member or any of its Affiliates or any of their properties, assets or businesses in any court or before or by any governmental department, board, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator which could, if adversely determined (or, in the case of an investigation could lead to any action, suit or proceeding which if adversely determined could) reasonably be expected to materially impair such Member’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of such Member; such Member or any of its Affiliates has not received any currently effective notice of any default, and such Member or any of its Affiliates is not in default, under any applicable order, writ, injunction, decree, permit, determination or award of any court, any governmental department, board, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator which could reasonably be expected to materially impair such Member’s (or any of its Affiliate’s) ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of such Member.

5. Investigation. Such Member is acquiring or has acquired its Interest based upon its own investigation, and the exercise by such Member of its rights and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement will be based upon its own investigation, analysis and expertise. Such Member is a sophisticated investor possessing an expertise in analyzing the benefits and risks associated with acquiring investments that are similar to the acquisition of its Interest.

6. Broker.

8. Securities Matters.

(a) None of the Interests are registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Such Member understands that the offering, issuance and sale of the Interests are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act, based, in part, upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement. Such Member is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(b) Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved the Interests or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offer or sale of the Interests. Such Member is acquiring the Interests solely for such Member’s own account for investment and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act.

(c) Such Member is unaware of, and is in no way relying on, any form of general solicitation or general advertising in connection with the offer and sale of the Interests, and no Member has taken any action which could give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees (without regard to any finders’ fees payable by the Company directly) or the like relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Such Member is not relying on the Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, advisors or representatives with regard to the tax and other economic considerations of an investment in the Interests, and such Member has relied on the advice of only such Member’s advisors.

(e) Such Member understands that the Interests may not be sold, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from registration is available. Such Member agrees that it will not attempt to sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Interests in violation of this Agreement.

(f) Such Member has adequate means for providing for its current financial needs and anticipated future needs and possible contingencies and emergencies and has no need for liquidity in the investment in the Interests.

(g) Such Member has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities. Such Member is knowledgeable about investment considerations and has a sufficient net worth to sustain a loss of such Member’s entire investment in the Company in the event such a loss should occur. Such Member’s overall commitment to investments which are not readily marketable is not excessive in view of such Member’s net worth and financial circumstances and the purchase of the Interests will not cause such commitment to become excessive. The investment in the Interests is suitable for such Member.

(h) Such Member represents to the Company that the information contained in this paragraph 8 and in all other writings, if any, furnished to the Company with regard to such Member (to the extent such writings relate to its exemption from registration under the Securities Act) is complete and accurate and may be relied upon by the Company in determining the availability of an exemption from registration under federal and state securities laws in connection with the sale of the Interests.

EXHIBIT C

Appraised Value

As used herein, the term “Appraised Value” shall mean the fair market value of the Property, or such portion thereof then owned by the Company as determined by an appraisal conducted as follows:

1. The Members shall seek to determine the Appraised Value of the Property for a fifteen (15) day period after the Offering Notice. If the Members are unable to reach an agreement within such period then Investor shall designate in writing an appraiser for the purpose of establishing the Appraised Value of the Property (“Notification”). Within ten (10) days after Investor gives the Notification, JHVG shall designate in writing a second appraiser for establishing the Appraised Value of the Property and shall give notice thereof in writing to Investor. If JHVG shall fail to timely appoint an appraiser, the appraiser appointed by Investor shall select the second appraiser within ten (10) days after JHVG’s failure to appoint.

2. The two appraisers so appointed shall appoint a mutually agreed third appraiser within ten (10) days following the selection of the second appraiser. If the two appraisers so appointed shall not be able to agree on the selection of a third appraiser within ten (10) days after the two initial appraisers have been appointed, then either appraiser, on behalf of both, may request such appointment by the head of the local chapter of the Appraisal Institute closest to the Property. The appraisers shall specialize in the appraisal of real estate projects similar to the Property in the region where the Property is located, shall have no less than five years’ experience in such field and shall be recognized as ethical and reputable. No appraiser shall have any personal or financial interest as would disqualify such appraiser from exercising an independent and impartial judgment as to the value of the Property. The Appraised Value of the Property shall be equal to the average of the valuations of the Property as determined by the appraisers; provided, however, that if any appraiser’s valuation for the Property deviates by more than ten percent (10%) from the average of the valuation of the other two appraisers for the Property, the Appraised Value shall be determined by using the average of the other two appraisers’ valuations. The cost of any such appraisals shall be paid by the Company. The appraisal shall be submitted to Investor and JHVG within thirty (30) days after the panel of three (3) appraisers is constituted. The decision of the appraisers shall be binding on the Members.

3. Upon the failure, refusal or inability of any appraiser to act, a new appraiser shall be appointed as his replacement, which appointment shall be made in the same manner as provided above for the appointment of such appraiser so failing, refusing or being unable to act.

4. In determining the Appraised Value of the Property, the appraisers shall be instructed to assume that the Property is sold in an arm’s length transaction, as though unencumbered by any financing, and without consideration of any costs, expenses, or taxes which would be incurred in connection with the sale. The appraisers shall also be instructed to assume that the assignment of the Entire Interest shall not constitute a transfer of ownership as defined under MCLA Section 211.27a (provided this condition shall only apply if the constitutional and statutory property tax cap under so-called Proposal A is still in effect at the time of appraisal).

5. Each party shall have the right to submit written information, requests, arguments, supporting data, and other relevant matters to the appraisers in writing.

6. The fees and expenses of such appraisers shall be borne by the Company.
