BEMT	$	2,432,951
SOIF III	$	2,749,319
BGF	$	2,814,354

(b) Immediately following the making of any additional Capital Contributions, the Manager shall amend Exhibit A to provide for the adjusted Base Capital Contributions of the Members.

5.2 Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) Additional Capital Contributions (“Additional Capital Contributions”) may be called for from the Members by the Manager from time to time as and to the extent capital is necessary. Such Additional Capital Contributions shall be requested in an amount for each Member equal to the product of the amount of the aggregate Capital Contribution called for multiplied by that Member’s Percentage Interest, as defined in Section 5.3. Such Additional Capital Contributions, if payable, shall be payable by the Members to the Company upon the earlier of (i) twenty (20) days after written request from the Company, or (ii) the date when the Capital Contribution is required, as set forth in a written request from the Company.

(b) BGF may elect, but shall not be required, to fund its proportionate share of the Additional Capital Contributions requested pursuant to Section 5.2(a). Any amount that BGF does not fund shall be an “Unfunded BGF Contribution.” BGF acknowledges that BGF may be diluted pursuant to this Section 5.2 to the extent it does not fund all of its proportionate share of the requested Additional Capital Contributions, and BEMT and/or SOIF III funds all or a portion of an Unfunded BGF Contribution pursuant to this Section 5.2, and BGF hereby consents to such dilution.

(c) BEMT and SOIF III shall be required to fund their proportionate share of the Additional Capital Contributions plus any Unfunded BGF Contribution (the “Required Funding Amount”) in an amount for each of BEMT and SOIF III equal to the product of the Required Funding Amount multiplied by the ratio of that Member’s Capital Contributions to aggregate Capital Contributions made by BEMT and SOIF III only.

(d) If BEMT or SOIF III (a “Defaulting Member”) fails to make a Capital Contribution that is required as provided in Section 5.2(c) within the time frame required therein (the amount of the failed contribution and related loan shall be the “Default Amount”), then BEMT, if SOIF III is the Defaulting Member, or SOIF III, if BEMT is the Defaulting Member (a “Non-Defaulting Member”), in addition to any other remedies each may have hereunder or at law, shall have one or more of the following remedies, provided that the Non-Defaulting Member has made the Capital Contribution required to be made by it under Section 5.2(c):

(i) to advance to the Company on behalf of, and as a loan to the Defaulting Member, an amount equal to the Default Amount to be evidenced by promissory note(s) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Non-Defaulting Member (each such loan, a “Default Loan”). The Capital Account of the Defaulting Member shall be credited with the amount of such Default Amount attributable to a Capital Contribution and the aggregate of such amounts shall constitute a debt owed by the Defaulting Member to the non-failing Member. Any Default Loan shall bear interest at the rate of twenty (20%) percent per annum, but in no event in excess of the highest rate permitted by applicable laws (the “Default Loan Rate”), and shall be payable by the Defaulting Member on demand from the Non-Defaulting Member and from any Distributions due to the Defaulting Member hereunder. Interest on a Default Loan to the extent unpaid, shall accrue and compound on a quarterly basis. A Default Loan shall be prepayable, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time without penalty. Any such Default Loans shall be with full recourse to the Defaulting Member and shall be secured by the Defaulting Member’s interest in the Company including, without limitation, such Defaulting Member’s right to Distributions. In furtherance thereof, upon the making of such Default Loan, the Defaulting Member hereby pledges, assigns and grants a security interest in its Interest to the Non-Defaulting Member and agrees to promptly execute such documents and statements reasonably requested by the Non-Defaulting Member to further evidence and secure such security interest. Any advance by the Non-Defaulting Member on behalf of a Defaulting Member pursuant to this Section 5.2(d)(i) shall be deemed to be a Capital Contribution made by the Defaulting Member except as otherwise expressly provided herein. All Distributions to the Defaulting Member hereunder shall be applied first to payment of any interest due under any Default Loan and then to principal until all amounts due thereunder are paid in full. While any Default Loan is outstanding, the Company shall be obligated to pay directly to the Non-Defaulting Member, for application to and until all Default Loans have been paid in full, the pro rata amount of (x) any Distributions payable to the Defaulting Member, and (y) any proceeds of the sale of the Defaulting Member’s Interest in the Company;

(ii) subject to any applicable thin capitalization limitations on indebtedness of the Company, 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 Default Amount, which loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note in form reasonably satisfactory to the Non-Defaulting Member and which loan shall bear interest at the Default Loan Rate and be payable on a first priority basis by the Company from available Cash Flow and prior to any Distributions made to the Defaulting Member. If both BEMT and SOIF III have loans outstanding to the Company under this provision, such loans shall be payable to such Member in proportion to the outstanding balances of such loans to such Member at the time of payment. Any advance to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.2(d)(ii) shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution made by the Defaulting Member;

(iii) in lieu of the remedies set forth in subparagraphs (i) or (ii), revoke its portion of such Additional Capital Contribution, whereupon the portion of the Capital Contribution made by the Non-Defaulting Member shall be returned within ten (10) days with interest computed at the Default Loan Rate by the Company.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.2, no additional Capital Contributions shall be required 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, (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 Collateral Agreement, (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 Collateral Agreement. 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.

5.3 Percentage Ownership Interest. The Members shall have the initial percentage ownership interests (as the same are adjusted as provided in this Agreement, a “Percentage Interest”) in the Company as shall be set forth on Exhibit A immediately after the Base Capital Contributions provided for in Section 5.1(a) have been made. The Percentage Interests of the Members in the Company shall be adjusted monthly so that the respective Percentage Interests of the Members at any time shall be in proportion to their respective cumulative Total Investment made (or deemed to be made) pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as the same may be further adjusted pursuant to Sections 5.2(b) and 5.2(d)(iii).

5.4 Return of Capital Contribution. Except as approved by each of the Members, no Member shall have any right to withdraw or make a demand for withdrawal of the balance reflected in such Member’s Capital Account (as determined under Section 5.6) until the full and complete winding up and liquidation of the business of the Company.

5.5 No Interest on Capital. Interest earned on Company funds shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company, and no interest shall be paid upon any Capital Contributions nor upon any undistributed or reinvested income or profits of the Company.

5.6 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (the “Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Regulations. Without limiting the foregoing, the Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) the amount of any Capital Contributions made by such Member, (ii) the amount of Income allocated to such Member and (iii) the amount of income or profits, if any, allocated to such Member not otherwise taken into account in this Section 5.6. The Capital Account of each Member shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any property distributed to the Member by the Company (net of liabilities secured by such distributed property that the Member is considered to assume or take subject to), (ii) the amount of Loss allocated to the Member and (iii) the amount of expenses or losses, if any, allocated to such Member not otherwise taken into account in this Section 5.6. The Capital Accounts of the Members shall not be increased or decreased pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect a revaluation of the Company’s assets on the Company’s books in connection with any contribution of money or other property to the Company pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2 by existing Members. If any property other than cash is distributed to a Member, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted as if such property had instead been sold by the Company for a price equal to its fair market value, the gain or loss allocated pursuant to Section 7, and the proceeds distributed in the manner set forth in Section 6.1 or Section 13.3(d)(iii). No Member shall be obligated to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account. No Member shall be compensated for any positive balance in its Capital Account except as otherwise expressly provided herein. The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations.

5.7 New Members. The Company may issue additional Interests and thereby admit a new Member or Members, as the case may be, to the Company, only if such new Member (i) has delivered to the Company its Capital Contribution, (ii) has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by becoming a party hereto, and (iii) has delivered such additional documentation as the Company shall reasonably require to so admit such new Member to the Company. Without the prior written consent of each then-current Member, a new Member may not be admitted to the Company if the Company would, or may, have in the aggregate more than one hundred (100) members. For purposes of determining the number of members under this Section 5.7, 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 Manager, a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity is to permit the Company to satisfy the 100-member limitation.

Section 6. Distributions.

6.1 Distribution of Distributable Funds

(a) The Manager shall calculate and determine the amount of Distributable Funds for each applicable period. Except as provided in Sections 5.2(d), 6.1(b) or 13.3 or otherwise provided hereunder, Distributable Funds, if any, shall be distributed to the Members on the 15^th day of each month or from time to time as determined by the Manager as follows:

(i) [intentionally deleted]

(iii) Second, to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

(b) Any Distributions otherwise payable to a Member under this Agreement shall be applied first to satisfy amounts due and payable on account of the indemnity and/or contribution obligations of such Member under this Agreement and/or any other agreement delivered by such Member to the Company or any other Member but shall be deemed distributed to such Member for purposes of this Agreement.

6.2 Distributions in Kind. In the discretion of the Manager, Distributable Funds may be distributed to the Members in cash or in kind and Members may be compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in kind even if the percentage of that asset distributed to it exceeds a percentage of that asset that is equal to the percentage in which such Member shares in distributions from the Company. In the case of all assets to be distributed in kind, the amount of the distribution shall equal the fair market value of the asset distributed as determined by the Manager. In the case of a distribution of publicly traded property, the fair market value of such property shall be deemed to be the average closing price for such property for the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the distribution, or if such property has not yet been publicly traded for thirty (30) days, the average closing price of such property for the period prior to the distribution in which the property has been publicly traded.

Section 7. Allocations.

7.1 Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses Other than in Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income and Net Losses of the Company for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year and taking into account all prior allocations of Net Income and Net Losses of the Company and all distributions made by the Company through such date, the Capital Account of each Member is, as nearly as possible, equal to the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 6.1 if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and assets sold for cash equal to their tax basis (or book value in the case of assets that have been revalued in accordance with Section 704(b) of the Code), all Company liabilities were satisfied, and the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 6.1 immediately after such allocation.

7.2 Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses in Liquidation. Net Income and Net Losses realized by the Company in connection with the liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 13 shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that, taking into account all prior allocations of Net Income and Net Losses of the Company and all distributions made by the Company through such date, the Capital Account of each Member is, as nearly as possible, equal to the amount which such Member is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 13.3(d)(iii).

7.3 U.S. Tax Allocations.

(a) Subject to Section 704(c) of the Code, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit was allocated pursuant to the preceding paragraphs of this Section 7.

(b) Code Section 704(c). In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, income and loss with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company (including, if the property so contributed constitutes a partnership interest, the applicable distributive share of each item of income, gain, loss, expense and other items attributable to such partnership interest whether expressly so allocated or reflected in partnership allocations) shall, solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes and its Agreed Upon Value at the time of contribution. Such allocation shall be made in accordance with such method set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) as the Manager in its reasonable discretion approves.

Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by BEMT in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 7.3 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s share of Net Income, Net Loss, other items or distributions pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

(iii) A statement of the Members’ Capital Accounts and changes therein for such Fiscal Year.

BEMT shall have the power and authority to appoint the manager without any further action or approval by any Member, and BEMT hereby appoints BEMT as its initial Manager. Neither BGF nor SOIF III shall have the power to appoint or remove any Manager. To the extent that BEMT or a BEMT Transferee Transfers all or a portion of its Interest in accordance with Section 12 to a BEMT Transferee, such BEMT Transferee may be appointed as an additional Manager under this Section 9.1(a) as appointed by BEMT or the BEMT Transferee then holding all or a portion of the BEMT Interest without any further action or authorization by any Member.

9.5 Operation in Accordance with REOC/REIT Requirements.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not take, or refrain from taking, any action that would result in SOIF III or a BR Affiliate, from failing to qualify as a REOC. The Members (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 SOIF III in order to ensure compliance with this Section 9.5.

(b) [Reserved]

(c) The Company (and any direct or indirect Subsidiary of 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, any direct or indirect Subsidiary of 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, and (II) the debt is fully secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the case of debt issued to the Company by a Subsidiary which is treated as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” of the REIT Member, such debt shall be secured by a mortgage or similar security interest, or by a pledge of the equity ownership of a subsidiary of such taxable REIT subsidiary;

(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;

(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) 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.

The term “routine governmental action” for purposes of this provision shall mean an action which is ordinarily and commonly performed by the applicable government official in (i) obtaining permits, licenses, or other such official documents which such Person is otherwise legally entitled to; (ii) processing governmental papers; (iii) providing police protection, mail pick-up and delivery or scheduling inspections associated with contract performance or inspections related to transit of goods across country; (iv) providing phone service, power and water supply, loading and unloading of cargo, or protecting perishable products or commodities from deterioration; or (v) actions of a similar nature.

(iii) Such Member is unaware of, and 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.

(iv) 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.

(v) 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.

(vi) 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.

(vii) 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.

(viii) Such Member represents to the Company that the information contained in this subparagraph (h) 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.

Section 12. Sale, Assignment, Transfer or other Disposition.

12.1 Prohibited Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 12, Section 5.2(b) or as approved by the Manager, no Member shall Transfer all or any part of its Interest, whether legal or beneficial, in the Company, and any attempt to so Transfer such Interest (and such Transfer) shall be null and void and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Member shall have the right, with the consent of the other Members, at any time to pledge to a lender or creditor, directly or indirectly, all or any part of its Interest in the Company for such purposes as it deems necessary in the ordinary cause of its business and operations.

12.2 Affiliate Transfers.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 12.2(b) hereof, and subject in each case to the prior written approval of each Member (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), any Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Interest in the Company at any time to an Affiliate of such Member, provided that such Affiliate shall remain an Affiliate of such Member at all times that such Affiliate holds such Interest. If such Affiliate shall thereafter cease being an Affiliate of such Member while such Affiliate holds such Interest, such cessation shall be a non-permitted Transfer and shall be deemed void ab initio, whereupon the Member having made the Transfer shall, at its own and sole expense, cause such putative transferee to disgorge all economic benefits and otherwise indemnify the Company and the other Member(s) against loss or damage under any Collateral Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following Transfers shall not require the approval set forth in Section 12.2(a):

(i) Any Transfer by BEMT or a BEMT Transferee of up to one hundred percent (100%) of its Interest to any Affiliate of BEMT or the non-Affiliate parties herein listed, including but not limited to (A) Bluerock Multifamily Growth REIT, Inc. or its successors and assigns (“BR REIT”) or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by BR REIT and/or (B) SOIF III or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by SOIF III; and/or (C) BGF or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by BGF (collectively, a “BEMT Transferee”);

(ii) Any Transfer by SOIF III or a SOIF III Transferee of up to one hundred percent (100%) of its Interest to any Affiliate of SOIF III or the non-Affiliate parties herein listed, including but not limited to (A) BR REIT or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by BR REIT; and/or (B) BEMT or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by BEMT; and/or (C) BGF or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by BGF (collectively, a “SOIF III Transferee”);

(iii) Any Transfer by BGF or a BGF Transferee of up to one hundred percent (100%) of its Interest to any Affiliate of BGF or the non-Affiliate parties herein listed, including but not limited to (A) BR REIT or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by BR REIT; and/or (B) BEMT or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by BEMT; and/or (C) SOIF III or any Person that is directly or indirectly owned by SOIF III (collectively, a “BGF Transferee”);

provided however, as to subparagraphs (b)(i) and (b)(ii), and as to subparagraph (a), no Transfer shall be permitted and shall be void ab initio if it shall violate any “Transfer” provision of any applicable Collateral Agreement with third party lenders.

(c) Upon the execution by any such BEMT Transferee, SOIF III Transferee or BGF Transferee of such documents necessary to admit such party into the Company and to cause the BEMT Transferee, SOIF III Transferee or BGF Transferee (as applicable) to become bound by this Agreement, the BEMT Transferee, SOIF III Transferee or BGF Transferee (as applicable) shall become a Member, without any further action or authorization by any Member.

12.3 Admission of Transferee; Partial Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12 to the contrary and except as provided in Section 5.2(b) and/or Section 5.7, no Transfer of Interests in the Company shall be permitted unless the potential transferee is admitted as a Member under this Section 12.3:

(a) If a Member Transfers all or any portion of its Interest in the Company, such transferee may become a Member if (i) such transferee executes and agrees to be bound by this Agreement, (ii) the transferor and/or transferee pays all reasonable legal and other fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such assignment and substitution and (iii) the transferor and transferee execute such documents and deliver such certificates to the Company and the remaining Members as may be required by applicable law or otherwise advisable; and

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Manager determines 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);

(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 12.3(b)(v), a Beneficial Owner indirectly owning an interest in the Company through a 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 Manager, a principal purpose of the use of the Flow-Through Entity is to permit the Company to satisfy the 100-member limitation; or

(vi) the transferor failed to comply with the provisions of Sections 12.2(a) or (b).

The Manager may require the provision of a certificate as to the legal nature and composition of a proposed transferee of an Interest of a Member and from any Member as to its legal nature and composition and shall be entitled to rely on any such certificate in making such determinations under this Section 12.3.

12.4 Withdrawals. Each of the Members does hereby covenant and agree that it will not withdraw, resign, retire or disassociate from the Company, except as a result of a Transfer of its entire Interest in the Company permitted under the terms of this Agreement and that it will carry out its duties and responsibilities hereunder until the Company is terminated, liquidated and dissolved under Section 13. No Member shall be entitled to receive any distribution or otherwise receive the fair market value of its Interest in compensation for any purported resignation or withdrawal not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 13. Dissolution.

13.1 Limitations. The Company may be dissolved, liquidated and terminated only pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law but subject to the terms of this Agreement, the parties hereto do hereby irrevocably waive any and all other rights they may have to cause a dissolution of the Company or a sale or partition of any or all of the Company’s assets.

13.2 Exclusive Events Requiring Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved only upon the earliest to occur of the following events (a “Dissolution Event”):

(a) the expiration of the specific term set forth in Section 2.5;

(b) at any time at the election of the Manager in writing;

(d) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution pursuant to Section 18-802 of the Act.

13.3 Liquidation. Upon the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, the business of the Company shall be continued to the extent necessary to allow an orderly winding up of its affairs, including the liquidation of the assets of the Company pursuant to the provisions of this Section 13.3, as promptly as practicable thereafter, and each of the following shall be accomplished:

(a) The Manager shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of dissolution, a copy of which statement shall be furnished to all of the Members.

(b) The property and assets of the Company shall be liquidated or distributed in kind under the supervision of the Manager as promptly as possible, but in an orderly, businesslike and commercially reasonable manner.

(c) Any gain or loss realized by the Company upon the sale of its property shall be deemed recognized and allocated to the Members in the manner set forth in Section 7.2. To the extent that an asset is to be distributed in kind, such asset shall be deemed to have been sold at its fair market value on the date of distribution, the gain or loss deemed realized upon such deemed sale shall be allocated in accordance with Section 7.2 and the amount of the distribution shall be considered to be such fair market value of the asset.

(d) The proceeds of sale and all other assets of the Company shall be applied and distributed as follows and in the following order of priority:

(i) to the satisfaction of the debts and liabilities of the Company (contingent or otherwise) and the expenses of liquidation or distribution (whether by payment or reasonable provision for payment), other than liabilities to Members or former Members for distributions;

(ii) to the satisfaction of loans made pursuant to Section 5.2(d) in proportion to the outstanding balances of such loans at the time of payment;

(iii) the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with Section 6.1.

13.4 Continuation of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy, dissolution or removal of a Member shall not in and of itself cause the dissolution of the Company, and the Members are expressly authorized to continue the business of the Company in such event, without any further action on the part of the Members.

Section 14. Indemnification.

14.1 Exculpation of Members. Neither the Company nor any Member, Manager or officer of the Company 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 or gross negligence on the part of such Member, Manager or officer.

14.2 Indemnification by Company. The Company hereby indemnifies, holds harmless and defends the Members, the Manager, the officers and each of their respective agents, officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders and employees 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 (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 so called “bad boy” guaranties or similar agreements which provide for recourse as a result of failure to comply with covenants, willful misconduct or gross negligence, (ii) their status as Members, Manager, employees or officers 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 or any of its Subsidiaries), if the acts or omissions were not performed or omitted fraudulently or as a result of gross negligence by the indemnified party. Reasonable expenses incurred by the indemnified party 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.

14.3 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 agents, officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders and employees (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, whether in this Agreement or in any other agreement with respect to the conveyance, assignment, contribution or other transfer of the Property (or interests therein), assets, agreements, rights or other interests conveyed, assigned, contributed or otherwise transferred to the Company or Property Owner (collectively, the “Inducement Agreements”).

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other agreement, recourse for the indemnity obligation of the Members under this Section 14.3 shall be limited to such Indemnifying Party’s Interest in the Company.

(c) 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.

Section 15. Mediation of Disputes.

15.1 Events Giving Rise To Mediation. In the event that there is a dispute between the Members as to any action or issue, then and in such event all of the Members agree, upon the written request of any one Member, to submit to mediation within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for mediation for the purpose of resolving the dispute.

15.2 Selection of Mediator. Within ten (10) days of the date upon which the written request is sent pursuant to Section 15.1, the Members shall meet for the purpose of selecting one (1) natural person to act as mediator for the Company for such dispute. In the event that the Members are unable to agree upon the selection of the mediator at such meeting, then within ten (10) days following such meeting, the Member requesting such mediation shall select one (1) qualified mediator and the remaining Member shall select one (1) qualified mediator and, within five (5) days of the date of their selection, the two persons so selected shall select a third qualified mediator who will serve as the sole mediator for the dispute. In the event that the Member requesting such mediation selects one such natural person within such ten (10) day period, but the remaining Member fails to select one such natural person within such ten (10) day period, or vice versa, then the natural person selected shall serve as the sole mediator for the dispute. No natural person selected by the Members and/or by the mediators may be employed by, doing substantial business with or otherwise affiliated with any of the Members (including, but not limited to, acting as an attorney or accountant for any one or more of the Members or for the Company). The term “qualified mediator” as used herein shall mean a natural person experienced in mediating disputes between businesses similar to the business in which the Company is engaged.

15.3 Mediation. Not later than fifteen (15) days following the selection of the sole mediator, the mediation shall be convened by the mediator at a mutually agreeable site. Such mediation shall take place in accordance with the Rules of the American Arbitration Association as in effect on the date of commencement of the mediation. The mediator’s only authority hereunder shall be to assist the Members in mediating a dispute. The mediator’s fees shall be paid by the Company. If the mediation is unsuccessful, then the Members shall have such rights and remedies as may be provided at law or in equity. Nothing in this Section 15 shall require the parties to submit to arbitration.

16.6 Severability.

Except with respect to a Default Loan as set forth in Section 5.2(d), any right to proceed against (i) any other assets of the Member in Question or (ii) any agent, officer, director, member, partner, shareholder or employee of the Member in Question or the assets of any such Person, as a result of such a claim against the Member in Question arising under this Agreement or otherwise, is hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waived.

16.13 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies given in this Agreement and by law to a Member shall be deemed cumulative, and the exercise of one of such remedies shall not operate to bar the exercise of any other rights and remedies reserved to a Member under the provisions of this Agreement or given to a Member by law. In the event of any dispute between the parties hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in connection therewith.

16.14 No Waiver. One or more waivers of the breach of any provision of this Agreement by any Member shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other provision, nor shall any delay or omission by a Member to seek a remedy for any breach of this Agreement or to exercise the rights accruing to a Member by reason of such breach be deemed a waiver by a Member of its remedies and rights with respect to such breach.

16.15 Limitation On Use of Names. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or otherwise to the contrary, each Member as to itself agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates, agents, or representatives is granted a license to use or shall use the name of the other under any circumstances whatsoever, except such name may be used in furtherance of the business of the Company but only as and to the extent unanimously approved by the Manager.

16.16 Publicly Traded Partnership Provision. Each Member hereby severally covenants and agrees with the other Members for the benefit of such Members, that (i) it is not currently making a market in Interests in the Company and will not in the future make such a market and (ii) it will not Transfer its Interest on an established securities market, a secondary market or an over-the-counter market or the substantial equivalent thereof within the meaning of Code Section 7704 and the Regulations, rulings and other pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or the Department of the Treasury thereunder. Each Member further agrees that it will not assign any Interest in the Company to any assignee unless such assignee agrees to be bound by this Section and to assign such Interest only to such Persons who agree to be similarly bound.

16.17 Uniform Commercial Code. The interest of each Member in the Company shall be a “certificated security” governed by Article 8 of the Delaware UCC and the UCC as enacted in the State of New York (the “New York UCC”), including, without limitation, (i) for purposes of the definition of a “security” thereunder, the interest of each Member in the Company shall be a security governed by Article 8 of the Delaware UCC and the New York UCC and (ii) for purposes of the definition of a “certificated security” thereunder.

16.18 No Construction Against Drafter.
