          (t) Condition of Improvements. There is no material defect in the condition of the Property, including the improvements thereon, the roof, foundation, load-bearing walls or other structural elements thereof, and the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and safety systems therein.

The LLC has always been treated as a partnership or as an entity that is disregarded for federal income tax purposes and has not been treated as a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation under the rules of Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The LLC is not the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file a Tax Return. No audit or other examination of any Tax Return of, or any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to the Taxes of, the LLC is in progress, nor has the LLC been notified of any request for such audit or other examination. The LLC has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment or deficiency. There is no material dispute or claim concerning any Tax liability of the LLC either (A) claimed or raised in writing or (B) as to which the LLC has knowledge. The LLC is not liable for any Taxes (other than withholding Taxes) of another Person. Section 2.3(z) of the Disclosure Schedule lists all material types of Taxes paid and Tax Returns filed by or on behalf of the LLC. As used herein, “Tax Return” shall mean any return, declaration, report, claim for refund, or information return or statement relating to Taxes, including any schedule or attachment thereto, and including any amendment thereof, and “Tax” shall mean any federal, state, local or foreign income, gross receipts, license, payroll, employment, excise, severance, stamp, occupation, premium, windfall profits, environmental, customs duties, capital stock, franchise, profits, withholding, social security (or similar), unemployment, disability, real property, personal property, sales, use, transfer, registration, value added, alternative or add-on minimum, estimated, or other tax of any kind whatsoever, including any interest, penalty, or addition thereto, whether disputed or not.

     2.4 Covenants of Acquirer. Acquirer agrees as follows:

          (a) Tax Treatment. If a Contributor receives Shares, in whole or in part, as Consideration, Acquirer shall (i) report the transfer of the Membership Interest by such Contributor on all relevant Tax Returns of Acquirer as a transfer to Acquirer pursuant to Section 351(a) or, if such Contributor receives a combination of Shares and cash, Section 351(b) of the Code (including compliance with the reporting and record-keeping requirements in Treasury Regulations section 1.351-3), (ii) not take any position or action that is inconsistent with that characterization in any audit, administrative proceeding, litigation or otherwise and (iii) not take any action that reasonably could be expected to cause Section 351 of the Code not to apply.

          (b) Further Acts. In addition to the acts, instruments and agreements recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by Acquirer, the Contributors and the Managing Member, Acquirer shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, and delivered at the Closing or after the Closing, any and all further acts, instruments, and agreements and provide such further assurances as Contributor may reasonably require to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

     2.5 Covenants of Managing Member. The Managing Member agrees as follows:

          (b) Conduct of Business. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, the Managing Member shall cause the LLC to operate its business only in the usual, regular and ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, and use its reasonable efforts to preserve intact the LLC’s business organization and assets.

          (c) Further Acts. In addition to the acts, instruments and agreements recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by Acquirer, the Contributors and the Managing Member, the Managing Member shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, and delivered at the Closing or after the Closing, any and all further acts, instruments, and agreements and provide such further assurances as Acquirer may reasonably require to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

     2.6 Covenants of Contributors. Each Contributor agrees as follows:

          (a) Actions Regarding Membership Interests. Except as otherwise permitted hereby, from the date hereof until the Closing Date, each Contributor shall use reasonable commercial efforts not to take any action or fail to take any action within Contributor’s control the result of which would (i) have a Material Adverse Effect on the Membership Interests, the Property, such Contributor’s ability to contribute, transfer, assign and convey the Membership Interests to Acquirer or Acquirer’s ability to continue the ownership and operation thereof after the Closing Date in substantially the same manner as presently conducted or (ii) cause any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.2 or, if applicable, 2.3 to be untrue as of the Closing Date.

          (b) Confidentiality. Each Contributor acknowledges that the matters relating to the Acquirer, the Securities Offering, this Agreement, and the other documents, terms, conditions and information related thereto (collectively, the “Information”) are confidential in nature. Therefore, each Contributor covenants and agrees to keep the Information confidential and will not (except as required by applicable law, regulation or legal process, and only after compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.5) prior to the Securities Offering, without Acquirer’s prior written consent, disclose any Information in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that the Information may be revealed only to such Contributor’s employees, legal counsel and financial advisors, each of whom shall be informed of the confidential nature of the Information. In the event that a Contributor or its key employees, legal counsel or financial advisors (collectively, the “Information Group”) are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Information, the applicable member of the Information Group will notify Acquirer promptly so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Section 2.5. Each Contributor acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to protect Acquirer against any actual or threatened breach of this Section 2.5, and, without

- 14 -

prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available, each Contributor agrees to the granting of injunctive relief in favor of the Acquirer without proof of actual damages.

          (c) Tax Treatment. If a Contributor receives Shares, in whole or in part, as Consideration, such Contributor shall (i) report the transfer of the Membership Interest to the Acquirer by such Contributor on all relevant Tax Returns of such Contributor as a transfer to Acquirer pursuant to Section 351(a) or, if such Contributor receives a combination of Shares and cash, Section 351(b) of the Code (including compliance with the reporting and record-keeping requirements in Treasury Regulations section 1.351-3), (ii) not take any position or action that is inconsistent with that characterization in any audit, administrative proceeding, litigation or otherwise and (iii) not take any action that reasonably could be expected to cause Section 351 of the Code not to apply.

          (d) Further Acts. In addition to the acts, instruments and agreements recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and delivered by Acquirer, the Contributors and the Managing Member, each Contributor shall perform, execute, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, and delivered at the Closing or after the Closing, any and all further acts, instruments, and agreements and provide such further assurances as Acquirer may reasonably require to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder.

     2.7 Covenants Regarding Certain Tax Returns and Tax Information. The parties acknowledge that, for federal income tax purposes, the transfer of the Membership Interests pursuant to this Agreement will result in a termination of the LLC’s federal income tax year as of the Closing Date and that the LLC’s final federal income tax year will end on the Closing Date. The Managing Member, at the expense of the LLC, shall be responsible for preparing and filing the income Tax Returns of the LLC for the tax year ending on the Closing Date and, if not filed before Closing, any prior tax year. The Acquirer shall cooperate, and shall cause the LLC to cooperate, with the Managing Member in the preparation of such Tax Returns to the extent reasonably requested. Each such Tax Return shall be based on the LLC’s existing Tax elections and Tax accounting methods, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law or agreed by the Managing Member and the Acquirer; provided, however, that the Managing Member shall cooperate, as and to the extent requested by the Acquirer, to cause elections to be made under Section 754 of the Code with respect to the transfers of Membership Interests in exchange (in whole or in part) for cash hereunder. The Managing Member shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause each such Tax Return to be filed no later than March 15, 2006, and, at least 20 days prior to such date, the Managing Member shall provide a copy of each such Tax Return to the Acquirer and to The Xxxxxxxx Group, Inc. (on behalf of the Contributors) for their respective review, comment and approval. Promptly after filing each such Tax Return, the Managing Member shall provide a copy thereof to the Acquirer and The Xxxxxxxx Group, Inc. With respect to income Tax Returns of the Acquirer or of the LLC for any period after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Tax Returns”), the Managing Member shall provide to the Acquirer such information regarding the LLC as reasonably requested by the Acquirer. Any such Post-Closing Tax Returns shall be subject to review, comment and approval of the Acquirer and The Xxxxxxxx Group, Inc. (on behalf of the Contributors). In addition, each Contributor who

- 15 -

receives Shares, in whole or in part, as Consideration shall provide to the Acquirer as promptly as feasible after the Closing Date (and in any event within 60 days after receiving from the LLC the Contributor’s Schedule K-1 for the LLC’s tax year ending on the Closing Date) a statement setting forth (i) the Contributor’s final, adjusted federal income tax basis in the Contributor’s Membership Interest and (ii) if such Contributor received cash as part of the Consideration, the amount of gain (if any) recognized by the Contributor for federal income tax purposes on the exchange of such Membership Interest for Shares and cash.
