(iii) entering into any lease of space for a term of less than 30 days;
20
(iv) leasing personal property, except 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, determined as set forth in Section 856(d)(1) of the Code;
(v) providing any services or amenities to tenants, other than services that are (A) customarily furnished or rendered in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only (as opposed to rendered primarily for the convenience of the tenant); (B) customarily furnished or rendered by or on behalf of landlords in connection with the rental of real property of a similar class in the geographic areas in which the real property is located and provided by an independent contractor from which the Company, HPP and any Affiliate thereof derive no income; or (C) provided by a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (as defined in Section 856(l) of the Code) of HPP. In the event that Xxxxxx determines that in order for income derived by HPP with respect to its indirect interest in the Company to constitute “rents from real property” under Section 856(d) of the Code, any services or amenities performed or to be performed with respect to the Project or for tenants of the Company or any activities or business operations of the Company should be restructured such that such services, amenities, activities or business operations are performed through a taxable REIT subsidiary of HPP, Sponsor and Xxxxxx agree to restructure such services, amenities, activities or business operations (i) such that they are performed by a corporation owned by the Company that is a taxable REIT subsidiary of HPP or an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes owned by Sponsor and a taxable REIT subsidiary of HPP in accordance with Sponsor’s and Xxxxxx’x Percentage Interests in the Company, respectively, or (ii) in such other manner as reasonably proposed by Xxxxxx (in each case, a “Restructuring”). The Company and Sponsor will reasonably cooperate with such Restructuring; provided that any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) associated with or incurred as a result of effecting any such Restructuring shall be paid (or promptly reimbursed to the Person originally incurring the same) solely by Xxxxxx and neither the Company nor the Sponsor shall have any responsibility therefor. In the event that there is a Restructuring and it involves the provision of services to a tenant or licensee of the Company by or on behalf of another entity (a “Service Provider”), the Company shall, upon Xxxxxx’x request, assign its rights and obligations to provide such services to the Service Provider or cause the applicable tenant or licensee to contract directly with the Service Provider for such services, in each case, as determined by Xxxxxx. Any costs or expenses associated with or incurred in connection with the Company’s compliance with this Section 2.06(b)(v) shall be borne and paid by Xxxxxx;
(vi) owning or acquiring any stock, loan or other debt or equity securities of, or making any advances to, another issuer (including an Affiliate of the Company), other than any other entity that is treated as disregarded from the Company for tax purposes;
(vii) owning more than $250,000 of property except real property, furniture, fixtures and equipment associated with such real property, cash, bank time deposits and receivables which arise in the ordinary course of its rental business, such as rent from leases;
(viii) deriving more than $50,000 of income in any calendar year other than from rent or interest on bank time deposits and sale of properties that satisfy the requirements of clause (ix) below; or
21
(ix) selling, disposing, conveying or otherwise transferring real property (or interests therein) in a manner that fails to satisfy the requirements of the prohibited transaction safe-harbor set forth in Section 857(b)(6)(C) of the Code with respect to Xxxxxx.
So long as Xxxxxx, HPP or any Affiliate thereof owns a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Company, the Company shall, promptly upon the request of Xxxxxx, make available to Xxxxxx all data and information in the possession of the Company which is reasonably determined by Xxxxxx to be necessary or helpful to (1) determine the tax treatment of Xxxxxx, HPP or any Affiliate thereof, or (2) monitor HPP’s compliance with the requirements relating to HPP’s status as a REIT.
(c) In furtherance of the foregoing, without the need for the consent of Sponsor or the Executive Committee:
(i) Xxxxxx may direct the Executive Committee to cause the Company to refrain from taking any action which, in Xxxxxx’x reasonable judgment, (1) could adversely affect the ability of HPP to continue to qualify as a REIT, or (2) could subject HPP to any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, assuming, in each case, that Xxxxxx’x only asset and income were attributable to the Company.
(ii) Xxxxxx may direct the Executive Committee to cause the Company to take, or refrain from taking, any action if, in Xxxxxx’x reasonable judgment, such action or inaction, as applicable (1) would permit the Company to make distributions to its Members pursuant to the then-applicable distribution provisions of this Agreement in such amounts as will permit Xxxxxx to make sufficient distributions to its equity holders to permit HPP to maintain REIT status and avoid the payment of any federal income tax (including, for this purpose, any corporate tax pursuant to Section 857(b) of the Code or any excise tax pursuant to Section 4981 of the Code), (2) would permit HPP to satisfy the REIT gross income tests, and (3) would permit HPP to satisfy the REIT asset tests, assuming, in each case, that Xxxxxx’x only asset and income were attributable to the Company.
(iii) Any action of the Company or any decision to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company undertaken following the direction of Xxxxxx in the reasonable, good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (1) to protect the ability of HPP to continue to qualify as a REIT, (2) to allow HPP to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, (3) to otherwise protect the status of HPP as a REIT, or (4) to comply with the provisions of Section 2.06(a) or subparagraphs (i) or (ii) above, assuming, in each case, that Xxxxxx’x only asset and income were attributable to the Company, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Members.
(d) The provisions of this Section 2.06 are solely for the benefit of Xxxxxx, HPP and, to the extent provided in Section 2.06(b)(v) with respect to the payment of certain costs by Xxxxxx, Sponsor and no other Person shall have the right to enforce, or be the beneficiary of, the provisions of this Section 2.06 (other than the allocation of responsibility for Restructuring related cost and expenses pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(v) which is expressly for the benefit of the Company and the other Members and may be enforced against Xxxxxx by the other Members). The limitations of this Section 2.06 shall be applicable even if they require the Company to forgo an otherwise advantageous business opportunity and/or affect the profitability of the Company and/or otherwise preclude the Company from taking an action, or require the Company to take an action which it would not have otherwise taken, even though
22
the taking of such action or not taking such action, respectively, might otherwise be advantageous to the Company and/or to one or more of the Members.
(e) In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Section 2.06 and any other provision of this Agreement, the terms of this Section 2.06 shall control.
2.07. | PROPERTY OWNER: |
The Executive Committee intends to cause the Company to form, from time to time, wholly owned Delaware limited liability companies (each, a “Property Owner LLC”) to own all or any part of the Company Property. As of the date hereof, the Company has formed two Property Owner LLCs, the Pinnacle 1 Property Owner and the Pinnacle 2 Property Owner. In each such case, it is expressly understood that the Company shall conduct its business through each Property Owner LLC, and it is the intent of the Members that the organizational documents relating to the formation of each Property Owner LLC shall be interpreted together with the provisions of this Agreement to have substantially the same effect to the Members as would be the case if all business of the Property Owner LLC were conducted by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Administrative Member shall perform, for no compensation, substantially identical services for each Property Owner LLC as Administrative Member performs for the Company, subject to the terms, conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement. Administrative Member agrees to perform such duties, and in such circumstances and with regard to such duties, Administrative Member shall be subject to the same standards of conduct and shall have the same rights and obligations with regard to such duties performed or to be performed on behalf of any such Property Owner LLC as are set forth in this Agreement with regard to substantially identical services to be performed for or on behalf of the Company. The Members agree to make such changes as any Lender(s) may reasonably require to this Agreement and to the organizational documents of each Property Owner LLC, including, without limitation, the addition of one or more springing members, a non-member manager and/or independent director to the structure of the Company and/or any Property Owner LLC. The Company has acquired the Pinnacle 1 Property through Pinnacle 1 Property Owner on the date hereof pursuant to the terms of the RREEF Buyout Documents, the Escrow Instructions, the Pinnacle 1 Property Owner LLC Agreement and the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Members intend that the Company will acquire the Pinnacle 2 Property through the Pinnacle 2 Property Owner pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement and Pinnacle 2 Property Owner (which will be governed pursuant to an operating agreement substantially identical in form and substance to the Pinnacle 1 Property Owner LLC Agreement, subject to any changes Pinnacle 2 Lender may reasonably require), shall assume the Pinnacle 2 Loan, substantially concurrently with the acquisition of the Pinnacle 2 Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Members intend that (1) the obligations of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor shall be the obligations of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate and vice versa (with the exception of obligations to fund Additional Capital Contributions, and consequences for failure to fund, in respect of which it is understood and agreed that the Percentage Interests of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor are not identical), (2) any Event of Default or For Cause event caused by Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and/or by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate shall constitute an Event of Default or For Cause event, as applicable, with respect to Sponsor, (3) Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate shall act jointly for all purposes, including, without limitation, voting on any Major Decision, granting or withholding any consent or approval or taking any similar action hereunder, and (4) in connection with the exercise of any rights pursuant to Section 9.05, Section 9.06 and/or Section 9.07, Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate shall act collectively (and do not have rights to sell and/or to purchase either the Property or any Interest under any of the foregoing sections on an individual basis).

3.02. | LIMITATION ON LIABILITY: |

CAPITAL
4.01. | INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS: |
24
(a) On the date hereof, Xxxxxx and Pinnacle 1 Sponsor shall have made Initial Capital Contributions to the Company in the amounts set forth opposite such Member’s name on Schedule A attached hereto.
(b) Xxxxxx and its Affiliates and Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and its Affiliates (including Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate), have heretofore incurred third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and its due diligence analyses, other evaluations and indirect acquisition of the Pinnacle 1 Property and the Pinnacle 2 Property including, without limitation, site visits, audits of leases, engineering and feasibility costs and expenses, costs and expenses related to or associated with analyzing the Pinnacle 1 Property and/or the Pinnacle 2 Property and payment of broker and other acquisition fees and expenses in connection with the acquisition of the Pinnacle 1 Property and the contemplated acquisition of the Pinnacle 2 Property (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Xxxxxx and Sponsor (and their respective Affiliates) in reviewing and analyzing the Pinnacle 1 Property and/or the Pinnacle 2 Property) (collectively, the “Contract and Due Diligence Costs”) and third-party costs and expenses incurred in good faith and associated with or related to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Property Management Agreement (collectively, “Member Negotiation Expenses”). The Members acknowledge and agree that all Contract and Due Diligence Costs in connection with the Pinnacle 1 Property and the Pinnacle 2 Property, and Member Negotiation Expenses, shall be borne by such Member or its Affiliates and shall not be paid or reimbursed by the Company.
(c) In connection with any future Project to be acquired, directly or indirectly, by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, it is acknowledged and agreed that costs and expenses associated with (1) the negotiation and/or execution of documents as between the Members (as opposed to as between the Members, the Company and/or any Property Owner, LLC, on the one hand, and a third party on the other hand) shall be borne by Xxxxxx (and/or its Affiliates) and Sponsor (and/or its Affiliates) individually and shall not be paid or reimbursed by the Company, and (2) any and all loan application fees, deposits, rate lock costs, or other costs and/or expenses set forth in any term sheet for any Loan in connection with the acquisition of any new Project, legal fees associated with the execution and/or delivery of any purchase and sale, contribution or similar agreements and transaction documents by and between the Company, any Member (or its applicable Affiliate) and/or any Project Owner LLC, on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand, in connection with any new Project and all other costs and/or expenses benefitting the Project Owner LLC in connection with the acquisition of any new Project (all of the costs and expenses referred to in this clause (2), collectively, “New Project Acquisition/Financing Costs”) shall be reimbursed or paid by the Company such that the Members shall have funded New Project Acquisition/Financing Costs in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests (or such other arrangement as may have been agreed to by the Members in connection with such Project).
4.02. Additional Capital Contributions:
(a) If the Company closes under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate causes the Pinnacle 2 Property to be contributed to the Company, which the Company shall contribute to Pinnacle 2 Property Owner substantially concurrently therewith, in each case, pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement and/or the terms of this Agreement, then, on the Pinnacle 2 Closing Date, Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate shall, provided no adjustment has been made pursuant to the terms of Section 4.02(c), be deemed to have made an Initial Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to (1) the positive difference
25
between the Pinnacle 2 Property Allocated Value and the Pinnacle 2 Loan in exchange for Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s contribution of the Pinnacle 2 Property pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement minus (2) the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.06.
(b) If at any time or from time to time after any of the Initial Capital Contributions have been contributed, Xxxxxx reasonably determines that additional funds (a “Shortfall”) are required for any Company (or any Property Owner LLC) expense that (i) is expressly set forth in the then effective Budget and Operating Plan or is otherwise expressly approved in writing in advance by all Members, each acting in its sole discretion (each, a “Budgeted Expense”), or (ii) constitutes (A) a Non-Discretionary Expense not reflected in the then effective Budget and Operating Plan, but permitted to be incurred under Section 7.03(b)(ii), and/or (B) a variance, Emergency Expenditure or other amount permitted to be incurred under Section 8.06 (each of the foregoing, a “Permitted Unbudgeted Expense” and, collectively, “Permitted Unbudgeted Expenses”), then all Members shall make further capital contributions in an amount, in the aggregate, equal to such Shortfall. If so requested by Xxxxxx each Member shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Xxxxxx’x written request therefor (which request shall state the amount of the subject Shortfall and shall provide a reasonably detailed explanation of the purpose for which such additional funds are being requested), contribute its pro rata share of such Shortfall based on such Member’s Percentage Interest.
(c) If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to timely make the Capital Contributions (or any portions thereof) required by 4.02(b), then one or more of the other Members that is not an Affiliate of the Non-Contributing Member (each being a “Contributing Member”) may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to the Company an amount equal to such capital contribution (i.e., the Non-Contributing Member's share, in addition to such Contributing Member's share; provided that if there is more than one Contributing Member who wishes to so contribute the Non-Contributing Member's share, such Contributing Member(s), in the aggregate, must contribute the entire amount of such share in proportion to their thenexisting Percentage Interests relative to one another), and the Contributing Member(s) shall have the following option: (X) to treat such amount so contributed (i.e., the Contributing Member’s share and, if applicable, the Non-Contributing Member’s share) as a Shortfall Loan by making the “Shortfall Loan Election” (as provided in Section 4.02(d)), or, if no Shortfall Loan Election is made, (Y) whether or not the Contributing Member contributes the Non-Contributing Member’s share, electing to dilute the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member, in which case the Percentage Interest of each of the Members shall be adjusted to equal the percentage equivalent of the quotient determined by dividing (1) the positive difference, if any, between (a) the sum of (i) 100% of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substituted Capital Contributions (as hereinafter defined)) then or therefore made by such Member to the Company, plus (ii) 150% of the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by such Member to the Company (the excess of 150% of such Member’s Substituted Capital Contributions over such Member’s Substituted Capital Contributions is referred to herein as the “Excess Amounts”), minus (b) the Excess Amounts attributable to the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by the other Member to the Company, by (2) 100% of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including without limitation Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members to the Company. As used herein, the term “Substituted Capital Contribution” shall mean an Additional Capital Contribution made by the Contributing Member equal to the amount that the Non-Contributing Member failed to timely contribute pursuant to Section 4.02(b). An example of the operation of such calculation is set forth on Exhibit G attached hereto. If a Contributing Member’s Percentage Interest is increased pursuant to this Section 4.02(c), then (A) its Capital Contributions, as
26
previously adjusted, shall, in addition to being increased by the amount of Capital Contributions (including without limitation ordinary Capital Contributions and Substituted Capital Contributions) made by such Member, also be increased by an amount equal to an additional 100% of the Substituted Capital Contributions made by such Member, and the Capital Contributions of the other Member shall be adjusted so that the ratios of the Member’s Capital Contributions immediately after such adjustment are equal to their Percentage Interests immediately after such adjustment.
(d) The “Shortfall Loan Election” shall be made by notice from the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member within thirty (30) days of the date on which the applicable Additional Capital Contribution was required to be made hereunder or the date on which the Contributing Members funded any amount that the Non-Contributing Member failed to contribute (whichever is later). The Shortfall Loans shall accrue interest at an annual rate, compounded monthly, equal to the lesser of (i) twenty percent (20%) per annum and (ii) the maximum rate of interest permitted by applicable law, until repaid in full, and all amounts remaining due thereunder (after application of Section 6.03(a)) shall be due and payable in full five (5) years from the date such loans are made or, if sooner, upon an event giving rise to the liquidation of the Company. Nothing in this Section 4.02(d) shall limit the application of any portion of Section 4.02(c). A Shortfall Loan shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution or a Substituted Capital Contribution, and a Member’s Capital Contributions shall in no event be increased by a Shortfall Loan. The Members agree that, in the event a Shortfall Loan is made by Xxxxxx or an Affiliate thereof, they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shortfall Loan to be secured by a mortgage (including a second mortgage) on real property owned by the Company and to otherwise structure such Shortfall Loan in a manner that it constitutes a qualifying asset for purposes of the REIT asset test set forth in Section 856(c)(4)(B)(iii)(III) of the Code.
(e) In the event that the Company, Pinnacle 1 Property Owner, Pinnacle 2 Property Owner, Xxxxxx or any Affiliate thereof (other than Pinnacle 1 Sponsor, Pinnacle 2 Sponsor or their respective Affiliates) suffer or incurs any costs, expenses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, or judgments (collectively, “Losses”) as a result of or incidental to its direct or indirect ownership of the Pinnacle 1 Property or the Pinnacle 2 Property, to the extent that such Losses relate to or arise out of (A) any personal injury, property damage or any other liability related to the ownership, operation or maintenance of (i) the Pinnacle 1 Property existing or occurring before the date hereof, or (ii) the Pinnacle 2 Property existing or occurring before the date on which the Pinnacle 2 Property Owner acquires fee title to the Pinnacle 2 Property (including, without limitation, in each case, with respect to power outages at the premises demised to the tenant known as Warner Music Group at the Pinnacle 1 Property of which Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Xxxxxx have been made aware), (B) any breach of any representation or warranty (i) made by Sponsor pursuant to the terms of Section 13.01(c) hereof (subject to the limitations on survival set forth in Section 13.01(e) hereof), or (ii) made by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement (subject to the limitations on survival expressly set forth therein), (C) with respect to the Pinnacle 1 Property, any cost or expense which would typically be prorated among buyers and sellers of real property and which is allocable to Pinnacle 1 Joint Venture’s period of ownership, consistent with the proration categories/items and methodology/adjustments set forth in the Closing Statement and/or (D) in the event any governmental or other taxing authority determines that any additional transfer taxes are owed on account of the transactions described in the recitals to this Agreement, (any such Losses are referred to herein collectively as, “Pre-Closing Liabilities”), Sponsor (as opposed to Xxxxxx or the Company) shall be liable for one hundred percent (100%) of all such Pre-Closing Liabilities. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein contained shall derogate, limit
27
or otherwise modify any obligations of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement, including, without limitation, the survival of any representations and warranties expressly made therein (but subject to any limitations set forth therein). In the event that Pinnacle 1 Sponsor, Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate (provided Pinnacle 2 Property Owner shall have acquired the Pinnacle 2 Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or any Affiliate of either of them (except Pinnacle 1 Property Owner, Pinnacle 2 Property Owner, or the Company) suffers or incurs any Losses as a result of or incidental to its direct or indirect ownership of the Pinnacle 1 Property or, provided Pinnacle 2 Property Owner shall have acquired the Pinnacle 2 Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Pinnacle 2 Property, to the extent that such Losses relate to or arise out of (X) any personal injury, property damage or any other liability related to the ownership, operation or maintenance of (i) the Pinnacle 1 Property first arising or occurring after date hereof, or (ii) the Pinnacle 2 Property first arising or occurring after the date on which the Pinnacle 2 Property Owner acquires fee title to the Pinnacle 2 Property, (Y) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement (subject to the limitations on survival set forth therein), and/or (Z) with respect to the Pinnacle 1 Property, any cost or expense which would typically be prorated among buyers and sellers of real property and which is allocable to Pinnacle 1 Property Owner’s period of ownership, consistent with the proration categories/items and methodology/adjustments set forth in the Closing Statement (any such Losses are referred to herein collectively as, “Post-Closing Liabilities”), the Company shall be solely liable for one hundred percent (100%) of all such Post-Closing Liabilities (but without amendment, expansion, limitation or derogation of any other term or provision of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article X, and/or of any Reimbursement or Indemnity Agreement).
Sponsor shall either cause any such Pre-Closing Liabilities to be paid or otherwise satisfied (or, alternatively, shall contribute to the Company, within thirty (30) days of Xxxxxx’x demand therefor or such earlier date as may be required to satisfy the applicable Pre-Closing Liability or prevent delinquency of same, cash in the aggregate amount of any such then unsatisfied Pre-Closing Liabilities (in such case, a “Special Contribution”), to enable the Company to satisfy the applicable Pre-Closing Liability). Any income tax deductions attributable to such Pre-Closing Liabilities shall be for the account of Sponsor (and if considered a deduction of the Company for income tax purposes, the Sponsor’s payment, other satisfaction or Special Contribution shall be treated solely for income tax purposes as a capital contribution (and in no event as a Capital Contribution under this Agreement) and such deduction shall be specially allocated to Sponsor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (1) no Special Contribution (or other payment or satisfaction of any Pre-Closing Liability) by Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof (including, without limitation, the Joinder Party or any amounts paid by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement) shall be treated as a Capital Contribution and Sponsor’s Capital Account shall not be credited with the amount thereof, and (2) no payment by the Company of any amount due with respect to any Post-Closing Liabilities shall be treated as a distribution to Sponsor and Sponsor’s Capital Account shall not be debited in the amount thereof. The obligations of Sponsor and the Joinder Party under this Section 4.02(e) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the removal or withdrawal of Sponsor as a Member of the Company. In the event Sponsor fails to make any Special Contribution, or, in the event Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate fails to comply with any surviving obligations under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement (including, without limitation, any payment of any 12 Month Reconciliation Amounts as defined therein or any payment on account of any breach of any representations and/or warranties set forth therein, but subject to the limitations set forth in the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement), then Xxxxxx shall have the right, in addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and/or the Joinder annexed hereto and
28
to the remedies of Transferee under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement, to treat such failure as a failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution in such amount, in which event, Xxxxxx shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 4.02(c) above.
(f) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the other Members would not be entering into this Agreement were it not for (i) the Members agreeing to make the Capital Contributions provided for in Section 4.01 and this Section 4.02 and (ii) the remedy provisions set forth above in this Section 4.02 (including, without limitation, the ability to make Shortfall Loans). Each Member acknowledges and agrees that if any Member fails to make its Capital Contributions pursuant to this Agreement, the other Members will suffer substantial damages and the remedy provisions set forth above are fair, just and equitable in all respects.
(g) All other Capital Contributions shall be made by wire transfer of funds to accounts of the Company designated by the Executive Committee from time to time.
(h) If for any reason other than a Xxxxxx Default, the closing under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement has not occurred by the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months following the date hereof, or (2) the date upon which Pinnacle 2 Lender delivers written notice to the Company and/or Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate (or any Affiliate or representative of either of them) advising that Pinnacle 2 Lender will not approve the Pinnacle 2 Loan Assumption pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Loan Assumption Documents , or (3) a default (subject to all applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement) on the part of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement, Xxxxxx shall have the right, exercisable in Xxxxxx’x sole and absolute discretion to redeem Sponsor’s entire Interest, by (collectively, the “Sponsor Redemption”) by paying to Sponsor the Redemption Payment. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Redemption Payment” shall mean (A) in the event the closing under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement has not been consummated notwithstanding the discharge by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate of each of its material obligations thereunder (by way of example, if, notwithstanding the efforts required under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement, Pinnacle 2 Lender does not approve the Pinnacle 2 Loan Assumption), an amount equal to Sponsor’s aggregate Capital Contributions as of the date of the Sponsor Redemption, or (B) in the event the closing under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement has not been consummated due to a default (subject to all applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth in the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement) on the part of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement, an amount equal to the greater of (1) $1,500,000.00 or (2) an amount equal to eighty percent (80%) of Sponsor’s aggregate Capital Contributions as of the date of the Sponsor Redemption. Concurrently with the Sponsor Redemption, Sponsor shall be automatically deemed to have withdrawn as a Member of the Company and shall have no further right, title or interest in and to the Company, to any Property Owner LLC and/or all or any portion of the Company Property whatsoever, except for any indemnification provisions which are expressly deemed to survive the withdrawal of a Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; provided however, that if requested by Xxxxxx, Sponsor shall promptly execute and deliver to Xxxxxx an instrument withdrawing from the Company and otherwise evidencing the Sponsor Redemption’ provided, further, that no Sponsor Redemption shall be effectuated hereunder until and unless Xxxxxx either (1) causes the Pinnacle 1 Lender to deliver to Sponsor an executed agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Sponsor) releasing Sponsor (and its Affiliates, if applicable) from any and all liability with respect to the Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations and/or under any other agreements, guarantees or indemnities (if any) pursuant to which Sponsor and/or any of its Affiliates is liable in connection with the Pinnacle 1 Loan to the
29
extent first arising or occurring after the Sponsor Redemption, or (2) in the event Xxxxxx is unable to cause Pinnacle 1 Lender to release Sponsor and/or its Affiliates under any Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations, provides Sponsor (and its Affiliates, if applicable) with an indemnity from a creditworthy Affiliate of Xxxxxx reasonably acceptable to Sponsor, indemnifying Sponsor (and/or its Affiliates, if applicable) from and against any Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations to the extent first arising or occurring after the Sponsor Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Sponsor’s and the Joinder Party’s obligations to Xxxxxx under Section 4.02(e), and the obligations of any Sponsor Loan Parties under any Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement executed prior to the Sponsor Redemption in respect of the period of time prior to the Sponsor Redemption, shall survive any Sponsor Redemption. A “Xxxxxx Default” shall be deemed to have occurred for purposes of this Section 4.02(h) only if all of the conditions precedent to the closing under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement (other than those that are the responsibility of the Company to satisfy) have been satisfied and the closing thereunder does not occur solely as a result of Xxxxxx’x or its appointed Executive Committee members’ failure to cause the Company to close thereunder.
(i) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 4.02 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall modify, limit, affect or otherwise derogate the rights of Xxxxxx to, on behalf of the Company, exercise any rights and/or remedies under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement, or from exercising any other rights and/or remedies of Xxxxxx set forth in this Agreement, in the event Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate fails to contribute the Pinnacle 2 Property.

(ii) The Member’s allocated share of Net Profit and any items in the nature of income or gain specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.02;
(iii) Any other increases required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv); and

(c) The estimated initial Capital Account balance of each Member is set forth in Schedule A, which balances have been determined in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). Upon any adjustment to Initial Capital Contributions, Schedule A shall be revised as determined by the Executive Committee.
(d) Upon the Transfer of an Interest permitted under this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent of the Interest so Transferred.
The provisions of this Section 4.03 and any other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts have been included in this Agreement to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those provisions. In the event that the Executive Committee shall determine that it is necessary or prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any additions thereto or subtractions therefrom, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Executive Committee may make such modification.
4.04. | NO FURTHER CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS: |
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Members, and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, no Member shall be required or entitled to contribute any other or further capital to the Company, nor shall any Member be required or entitled to loan any funds to the Company. No Member will have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account at any time including upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company.
4.05. | LOANS; GUARANTIES: |
(a) Concurrently herewith, Pinnacle 1 Property Owner has obtained a mortgage loan in the original principal amount of $129,000,000.00(the “Pinnacle 1 Loan”) from Jefferies LoanCore LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Pinnacle 1 Lender”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Loan Agreement made by and between Pinnacle 1 Property Owner, as borrower, and Pinnacle 1 Lender (the “Pinnacle 1 Loan Agreement”), which Pinnacle 1 Loan is evidenced by that certain Promissory Note in the original principal amount of the Pinnacle 1 Loan made by Pinnacle 1 Property Owner as maker thereunder and is secured by that certain Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Fixture Filing encumbering the Pinnacle 1 Property (the “Pinnacle 1 Deed of Trust”, and, together with the Pinnacle 1 Note, the Pinnacle 1 Loan Agreement and the other documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection with the Pinnacle 1 Loan and set forth on Schedule 4.05 attached hereto, in each case, as amended, modified and/or supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, collectively, the “Pinnacle 1 Loan Documents”). The Company hereby approves Pinnacle 1 Property Owner’s obtaining the Pinnacle 1 Loan and approves the terms of the Pinnacle 1 Loan Documents in all respects.
31
(b) As a condition to making the Pinnacle 1 Loan, Pinnacle 1 Lender has required that each of the Company, Xxxxxx XX, Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and MDP Ventures enter into, on a joint and several basis (i) that certain Guaranty of Recourse Obligations and (ii) that certain Environmental Indemnity Agreement, in each case, for the benefit of Pinnacle 1 Lender (collectively, the “Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Documents”; the obligations set forth therein, collectively, the “Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations”). To the extent the Company incurs any Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations, then the following shall apply: (1) in the event that the Company incurs any Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations that are attributable solely to the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence, or knowing and willful act or omissions taken (or not taken, as the case may be) with the intent in each case to cause a breach under the Pinnacle 1 Loan Documents, of Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx XX or any Affiliate thereof, then Xxxxxx shall be liable for 100% of such Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations; (2) in the event that the Company incurs any Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations that (A) are attributable solely to the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence, or knowing and willful act or omissions taken (or not taken, as the case may be) with the intent in each case to cause a breach under the Pinnacle 1 Loan Documents of Sponsor, MDP Ventures or any Affiliate thereof or (B) are on account of any breach by the Pinnacle 1 Property Owner of any real property specific representations and warranties made to Pinnacle 1 Lender concurrently with the making of the Pinnacle 1 Loan, then Sponsor shall be responsible for 100% of such Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations, and (3) in the event that the Company incurs any Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations that are not covered by clauses (1) or (2) of this Section 4.05(b), then Xxxxxx and Sponsor shall be responsible for their pro rata share of such Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations, based on their respective Percentage Interests. Any failure on the part of Xxxxxx or Sponsor to fund to the Company the amounts required pursuant to this Section 4.05(b) shall be treated as a failure on the part of such Member to fund required Additional Capital Contributions hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any amounts funded by Xxxxxx or Sponsor pursuant to Section 4.05(b)(1), in the case of Xxxxxx, or Section 4.05(b)(2) in the case of Sponsor, shall, in no event, constitute an Additional Capital Contribution on the part of Xxxxxx or Sponsor, as applicable, and Xxxxxx, or Sponsor, as applicable, shall, in no event, receive credit to its Capital Account in such amount. Concurrently with the execution hereof, Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and MDP Ventures on the one hand, and Xxxxxx XX on the other hand, have entered into that certain Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1, to memorialize their agreements with respect to allocation of responsibility with respect to any Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations to the extent incurred by either Xxxxxx XX or MDP Ventures. The obligations of all parties under such Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement shall survive any Sponsor Redemption. In the event that the Pinnacle 2 Property is contributed to Pinnacle 2 Property Owner pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then, concurrently with the execution of the acknowledgement attached hereto as Exhibit F, Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate shall execute such documents as are reasonably necessary to evidence the joinder of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate to such Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement (effective as of the date of the execution of the Pinnacle 1 Non-Recourse Obligations), jointly and severally, with Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and MDP Ventures.
(c) The Members acknowledge and agree that the Pinnacle 2 Property is currently encumbered by a mortgage loan in the original principal amount of $90,800,000 (and with an approximate outstanding principal balance as of the date hereof of $89,755,808.30) (the “Pinnacle 2 Loan”) made by Greenwich Capital Financial Products, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors-in-interest with respect to the Pinnacle 2 Loan, “Pinnacle 2 Lender”) pursuant to the loan documents set forth on Schedule 4.05 attached hereto (as amended, modified and/or supplemented pursuant to the Pinnacle 2 Assumption Documents, and/or as may be further amended, modified and/
32
or supplemented pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the “Pinnacle 2 Loan Documents”). In the event that the closing occurs under the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof and the terms of this Agreement, then in connection therewith (and as a condition to closing thereunder), the Pinnacle 2 Property Owner shall assume the Pinnacle 2 Loan and the Pinnacle 2 Loan Documents pursuant to assumption and/or amendment documents reasonably required by the Pinnacle 2 Lender and approved by Xxxxxx and without the consent of Sponsor or its Affiliates, it being understood and agreed that Xxxxxx shall not have the right, without the consent of Sponsor or the applicable Affiliate of Sponsor, to enter (or to cause to be entered) into any assumption and/or amendment documents that (1) amends the terms of the Pinnacle 2 Loan Documents in a manner that is inconsistent with the Financing Guidelines and/or is materially adverse to the Company or (2) is in violation of the other terms of this Section 4.05(c) (collectively, the “Pinnacle 2 Loan Assumption Documents”; the transactions contemplated thereby, collectively, the “Pinnacle 2 Loan Assumption”). The Members agree to make such reasonable changes to this Agreement as may be reasonably requested by the Pinnacle 2 Lender (including, without limitation, single purpose entity requirements and/or independent director requirements substantially similar to the terms of the Pinnacle 1 Property Owner LLC Agreement); provided that such changes shall not alter the economic terms, or any fundamental rights of the Members, set forth herein. M. Xxxxx Xxxx Development LLC, a California limited liability company (“MDP Development”) and Xxxxxx XX shall provide to Pinnacle 2 Lender replacement guaranties, on a joint and several basis (collectively, the “Pinnacle 2 Replacement Guaranties”), it being understood and agreed that Xxxxxx shall have the right (subject to reasonable consultation with Sponsor) to negotiate the form and substance of the Pinnacle 2 Replacement Guaranties, and MDP Development and Xxxxxx XX each shall be obligated to provide the Pinnacle 2 Replacement Guaranties, so long as the same are substantially similar to the recourse provided under the Pinnacle 2 Loan Documents and do not expand recourse thereunder in a manner inconsistent with the Financing Guidelines, and otherwise subject to the terms of Section 4.05(d). For the sake of clarity and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that no Member, nor any creditworthy Affiliate or principal of such Member, shall be required to provide any recourse or other credit enhancement in respect of the Pinnacle 2 Loan which is inconsistent with the Financing Guidelines without such Member’s (or the applicable Affiliate of principal of such Member’s) consent, in its sole and absolute discretion. The obligations of MDP Development and Xxxxxx XX under such Pinnacle 2 Replacement Guaranties shall be referred to herein as the “Pinnacle 2 Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations”. In connection with any Pinnacle 2 Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations, Xxxxxx XX, Sponsor and MDP Ventures shall enter into a Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement in form and substance substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-2.
(d) In connection with any Loan (other than the Pinnacle 1 Loan and the Pinnacle 2 Loan), or in any refinancing of the Pinnacle 1 Loan, the Pinnacle 2 Loan or any other Loan, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the creditworthy Affiliates and principals of Sponsor (collectively, the “Sponsor Loan Parties”) and the one or more creditworthy Affiliates of Xxxxxx (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Loan Parties”), shall each provide such guaranties and/or indemnities required by the applicable Lender for the carveouts set forth in the Financing Guidelines (the obligations under such guaranties and/or indemnities, collectively, the “Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations”), on a joint and several basis, and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to the Sponsor Loan Parties and the Xxxxxx Loan Parties, it being understood and agreed that, in no event, shall any Member, nor any creditworthy Affiliate or principal thereof be required to provide any recourse or other credit enhancement which is any greater or broader than the recourse expressly set forth in the Financing Guidelines. In connection with any Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations, the Xxxxxx Loan Parties,
33
Sponsor, and the Sponsor Loan Parties shall enter into a Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement pursuant to which (1) Xxxxxx Loan Parties shall reimburse any Sponsor Loan Party for recourse actually incurred by such Sponsor Loan Party under the Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations solely as a direct result of any gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, intentional misrepresentation, intentional misappropriation of funds, willful misconduct or the knowing and willful act or omission, taken (or not taken, as the case may be) with the intent in each case, to cause a breach under any then applicable Loan Documents, by the Xxxxxx Loan Parties, and (2) Sponsor Loan Parties shall reimburse any Sponsor Loan Party for recourse actually incurred by any Xxxxxx Loan Party under the Non-Recourse Obligations solely as a direct result of any gross negligence, fraud, bad faith, intentional misrepresentation, intentional misappropriation of funds, willful misconduct or the knowing and willful act or omission, taken (or not taken, as the case may be) with the intent in each case, to cause a breach under any then applicable Loan Documents, by a Sponsor Loan Party, and (3) for all other recourse under the Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations, the Sponsor Loan Parties and Xxxxxx Loan Parties shall be liable for an amount equal to, respectively, Xxxxxx’x and Sponsor’s aggregate Percentage Interests hereunder and otherwise in in form and substance substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1/H-2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 4.05(c) or this Section 4.05(d), the Members shall use diligent, good faith efforts to minimize/obtain best available terms for recourse (including, without limitation, attempting to cause any Lender to approve the Company as a guarantor/indemnitor) and/or the scope of any and all recourse carveouts (including, without limitation, attempting to cause any Lender to accept environmental insurance in lieu of an environmental indemnity).
4.06. | PROPOSITION 13 PROTECTION AMOUNT: |
The Members acknowledge that, with respect to the Pinnacle 2 Property only, the tenant under the WB Lease is not obligated to pay (i) the extent of any increase in Tax Expenses (as defined in the WB Lease) resulting from any reassessments due to a sale of all or any portion of the Pinnacle 2 Property (a “Reassessment”) during the initial eighty-four months of the initial term of the WB Lease and (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the extent of any increase in Tax Expenses (as defined in the WB Lease) resulting from any reassessments due to a sale of all or any portion of the Pinnacle 2 Property during the period from the first day of the eighty-fifth month of the initial term of the WB Lease until the expiration of the initial term thereof (the amount that the tenant under the WB Lease is not obligated to pay under clauses (i) or (ii) above, as applicable, is referred to herein as, the “Proposition 13 Protection Amount”). Concurrently with the acquisition of the Pinnacle 2 Property by Pinnacle 2 Property Owner pursuant to the terms of the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, (1) Xxxxxx shall fund an additional Capital Contribution in cash to the Company in an amount equal to the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount (defined below), and (2) the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount shall be funded into a reserve account maintained by the Company (the “Proposition 13 Reserve Account”) to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.06. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Proposition 13 Reserve Amount” shall mean the Proposition 13 Protection Amount as reasonably determined by Xxxxxx in good faith assuming a sale price of the Pinnacle 2 Property equal to the sale price set forth in the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement and otherwise in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 6(vi) of the WB Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, after giving effect to the immediately preceding sentences and the terms of Section 4.02(a), the aggregate Percentage Interests of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate are less than thirty-five percent (35%), then for purposes of determining
34
the Capital Account balances and Percentage Interests of the Members only (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, affecting either Xxxxxx’x obligation to make a Capital Contribution in the amount of the entire Proposition 13 Reserve Amount or Sponsor’s obligation to pay (or cause to be paid) any Proposition 13 Shortfall (as defined below)), the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount shall deemed to be reduced by the lesser of (i) Two Million and No/100ths Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or (ii) the amount necessary to cause the Percentage Interests of the Members, after giving effect to the Capital Contribution made by Xxxxxx following the funding of the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount, to be sixty-five percent (65%) for Xxxxxx and thirty-five (35%) percent, in the aggregate, for Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate. In the event that, following the adjustment described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Percentage Interests of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor shall be less than thirty five percent (35%), Sponsor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make a one-time special Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount necessary to cause Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor’s Percentage Interests to equal, but, in no event to exceed, thirty-five percent (35%). In the event that the Company indirectly acquires the Pinnacle 2 Property in accordance with this Agreement and same, at any point thereafter, triggers a Reassessment that results in any increase in Tax Expenses, the Company shall disburse the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount for purposes of paying the Proposition 13 Protection Amount actually owed to the tenant (re-calculated at the time of Reassessment) under the WB Lease. In the event the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount exceeds the actual Proposition 13 Protection Amount actually owed to the tenant pursuant to the WB Lease, then the procedures set forth in the third paragraph of the definition of Percentage Interests shall apply. In the event the Proposition 13 Reserve Amount is insufficient to pay the Proposition 13 Protection Amount actually owed to the tenant pursuant to the WB Lease and to satisfy all of Landlord’s obligations pursuant to Section 6(vi) of the WB Lease in full (the “Proposition 13 Shortfall”), then Sponsor shall be exclusively responsible for paying (or causing to be paid) such Proposition 13 Shortfall (in the time and manner required pursuant to the WB Lease) and the same shall, in no event, be deemed a Capital Contribution on the part of Sponsor or otherwise increase Sponsor’s Capital Account balance hereunder. The obligations of Sponsor pursuant to this Section 4.06 shall be guaranteed by the Joinder Party pursuant to the Joinder attached hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Xxxxxx’x remedies pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, in the event Sponsor does not pay the Proposition 13 Shortfall then Xxxxxx may, at its election, elect to treat the same as a failure to make an Additional Capital Contribution on the part of Sponsor, in which event, Xxxxxx shall have the remedies set forth in Section 4.02(c).

ARTICLE VI.
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS
6.01. | ALLOCATIONS: |
(a) Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company shall be determined and allocated with respect to each taxable year as of the end of each such year, at such times as the Book Basis of any Company property is adjusted pursuant to the definition of “Book Basis” and at such other times as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the Code or the Treasury Regulations. Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, an allocation to a Member of a share of Net Profit or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation to such Member of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.02, for purposes of adjusting the Capital Accounts of the Members, the Net Profit and Net Loss for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated among the Members in a manner such that the Adjusted Capital Account of each Member, immediately
36
after making such allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to the distributions that would be made to such Member if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its properties sold for cash equal to their Book Basis, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Book Basis of the property securing such liability), and the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 6.03 to the Members immediately after making such allocation.
6.02. | ALLOCATIONS AND COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 704(B): |
The following special allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be made in the following order:
(a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or in any Member Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period, prior to any other allocation pursuant hereto, such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount and manner required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2. This Section 6.02(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback and partner non-recourse debt minimum chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(b) Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated (as nearly as possible) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2 to the Members, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
(c) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated to the Member that made or guaranteed or otherwise bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the loan to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with principles under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).
(d) Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit shall be allocated items of Profit sufficient to eliminate such increase or negative balance caused thereby, as quickly as possible, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation. This Section 6.02(d) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” provisions of the Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(e) No allocation of loss or deduction shall be made to any Member if, as a result of such allocation, such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Any such disallowed allocation shall be made to the Members entitled to receive such allocation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. If losses or deductions are reallocated under this Section 6.02(e), subsequent allocations of income and losses (and items thereof) shall be made so that, to the extent possible, the net amount allocated under this Section 6.02(e) equals the amount that would have been allocated to each Member if no reallocation had occurred under this Section 6.02(e).
(f) To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company property pursuant to Section 734(b) or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation
37
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the adjusted tax basis of the property) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the adjusted tax basis of the property) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated among the Members in proportion to their relative Percentage Interests in the event that Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.
(g) The allocations contained in Sections 6.02(a), 6.02(b), 6.02(c), 6.02(d), 6.02(e) and 6.02(f) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits, Losses, Net Profit and Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that to the extent possible, the aggregate of (i) the allocations made to each Member under this Agreement other than the Regulatory Allocations and (ii) the Regulatory Allocations made to each Member shall equal the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member had the Regulatory Allocations not occurred as necessary to effect the intent of Section 6.05. The Executive Committee shall take account of the fact that certain of the Regulatory Allocations will occur at a period in the future for purposes of applying this Section 6.02(g).
(h) For purposes of Section 752 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, excess nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3.
6.03. DISTRIBUTIONS:
Except as provided in Section 6.05, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practical (but no less often than quarterly), make distributions of Net Cash Flow to the Members in the following manner and order of priority:
(a) First, to Contributing Members pro rata in proportion to the amounts outstanding under the Shortfall Loans held by each Contributing Member, which amounts shall be applied to the repayment of any amounts outstanding under Shortfall Loans (principal and interest), provided that such repayments shall not reduce the Capital Account balances of the Members under this Agreement. The parties agree that distributions under this Section 6.03(a) with respect to Shortfall Loans will be applied first to the interest on Shortfall Loans, to the extent accrued as of the date of distribution, and then to the return of principal on such Shortfall Loans. The parties further agree that the interest on Shortfall Loans represents a commercially reasonable rate of return on such Shortfall Loans and the parties will report interest on Shortfall Loans as interest for tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law; and
(b) Second, to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
6.04. | SPECIAL DISTRIBUTIONS: |
(a) In the event there is any Excess Net Cash Flow (defined below) in any given fiscal quarter, then the Company shall distribute to the Members (pro rata, in accordance with their Percentage Interests) with respect to each such fiscal quarter an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Excess Net Cash Flow available and (ii) the amount necessary to cause Sponsor to have received, following
38
distribution of such amount to the Members (pro rata, in accordance with their then applicable Percentage Interests) an amount equal to the product of (A) the amount of taxable income allocable to Sponsor in respect of such fiscal quarter (net of taxable tax losses allocated to Sponsor in respect of prior fiscal quarters and not previously taken into account under this Section 6.04), taking into account for the avoidance of doubt, allocations of items if applicable under the "remedial allocation method" under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and (B) the Assumed Tax Rate. For purposes of this Section 6.04(b) only, the term “Excess Cash Flow” shall mean Net Cash Flow available for distribution, less any reasonable additional reserves determined by Administrative Member (by way of example only, if necessary to reflect any interim leasing activity, capital expenditures or other mid-year adjustments in the interim period between approval of the Budget and Operating Plan for any Project). Each Tax Distribution pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall be treated as a prepayment to such Member of amounts to which it is otherwise entitled under Section 6.03 in that any such distribution shall reduce distributions otherwise to be made to a recipient Member under this Agreement. Distributions made to a Member pursuant to Section 6.03 during any taxable year shall reduce distributions otherwise to be made under this Section 6.04 for such taxable year. The Company shall, in no event, be required to make a capital call to make a Tax Distribution or sell assets or borrow money for purposes of making any Tax Distribution.
6.05. DISTRIBUTIONS IN LIQUIDATION:
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.03, upon the dissolution and winding-up of the Company, the proceeds of sale and other assets of the Company distributable to the Members under Section 11.02(c)(iii) shall be distributed, not later than the latest time specified for such distributions pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the Members in accordance with Section 6.03. With the approval of the Executive Committee, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members under the preceding sentence may be distributed to a trust reasonably established, for a reasonable period of time, for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company Property, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any trust established under this Section 6.05 will be distributed to the Members from time to time by the trustee of the trust upon approval of the Executive Committee in the same proportions as the amount distributed to the trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members under this Agreement.
6.06. | TAX MATTERS: |
(a) The Members intend for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal and, if applicable, state and local income tax purposes. The Executive Committee shall have the right to make all applicable elections, determinations and other decisions under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, including, without limitation, the deductibility of a particular item of expense and the positions to be taken on the Company’s tax return, and shall approve the settlement or compromise of all audit matters raised by the Internal Revenue Service affecting the Members generally, except as provided in Section 7.01(e)(xi), Section 7.01(e)(xxiii) and Section 6.08(b) or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The Members shall each take reporting positions on their respective federal, state and local income tax returns consistent with the positions determined for the Company by the Executive Committee except as otherwise required by law.

The Members hereto and the Company consent to such treatment and agree to report, and to cause their respective Affiliates to report, the transactions contemplated in the RREEF Buyout Documents and in this Agreement consistent with such treatment on tax returns.

The Company and the Members shall not take a position inconsistent with the foregoing on their respective tax returns unless there is a contrary determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.
6.07. | TAX MATTERS PARTNER: |

40
to take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company and the Book Basis of such property. Any elections, accounting conventions or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Executive Committee in a manner that reasonably reflects the purposes and intention of this Agreement, and complies with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. For such allocations, the Executive Committee may select any method permitted in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(c) with respect to such allocations, including the “traditional method,” or the “remedial allocation method”, but not the “traditional method with curative allocations”.
6.09. | WITHHOLDING: |
All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1446 of the Code or any other provision of federal, state, local or other tax law shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the Members for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Executive Committee determines that the Company has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy such withholding obligation, the Member as to which withholding applies shall contribute cash to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation (which amounts shall not be treated as Capital Contributions and the related payment of tax shall not be treated as a distribution).

The initial members of the Executive Committee shall be Alex Vouvalides, Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxx Lammas, appointed by Xxxxxx, and Xxxx Xxxxxx, and Xxx Xxxxxxxx appointed by Sponsor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Xxxxxx will at all times have the right to appoint a majority in number of the members of the Executive Committee, and a majority in number of the members of the Executive Committee shall represent and shall have been appointed by Xxxxxx. Each Member may, by written notice to the others, remove any person appointed by such Member and appoint a substitute therefor; provided, however, that any new person appointed to the Executive Committee by any Member must either (i) be a partner, managing member, officer, director or employee of such Member or of an Affiliate of such Member, or (ii) be approved by the Executive Committee members appointed by the other Members, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Any Member may, by written notice delivered to the other Members, delegate any or all of the duties of such Member’s representatives on the Executive Committee to another of its representatives on the Executive Committee or to any employee of Xxxxxx or any of its respective Affiliates, on the one hand, or Sponsor or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, as the case may be (and such delegate shall also be an agent of and operate at the sole direction of the appointing Member), and any decisions or actions taken by such delegate shall be fully binding upon the Company and the Members as if taken by such member of the Executive Committee.
(b) The number of members of the Executive Committee may be increased or decreased from time to time by the Executive Committee, so long as a majority in number of the members of the Executive Committee shall represent and shall have been appointed by Xxxxxx.
(c) Regular meetings of the Executive Committee shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Executive Committee, provided the Executive
45
Committee shall meet no less frequently than quarterly and provided such regular meetings of the Executive Committee shall be as often as necessary or desirable to carry out its management functions.
(d) Special meetings of the Executive Committee may be called by or at the request of any Member. The person or persons authorized to call the special meeting of the Executive Committee may fix any reasonable place as the place for holding the special meeting of the Executive Committee, or such meeting may occur telephonically with any member of the Executive Committee electing to participate telephonically.
(e) Notice of any meeting of the Executive Committee shall be given to each Member no fewer than two (2) days and no more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of the meeting. Notices shall be delivered in the manner set forth in Section 13.03. The attendance of a member of the Executive Committee at a meeting of the Executive Committee shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a member of the Executive Committee attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not properly called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the Executive Committee need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
(f) Provided that notice of a meeting has been given to each Member as called for by clause (e), above, a majority (in number) of the members of the Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum for transaction of business at any meeting of the Executive Committee, provided that, subject to the proviso set forth in clause (g), below, if less than a majority of such number of members of the Executive Committee are present at said meeting, a majority of the members of the Executive Committee present may adjourn the meeting at any time without further notice; provided, however, that, subject to Sections 7.02(m), 7.02(n) and 7.02(o), a quorum may not be deemed established without the presence of at least one Executive Committee member appointed by Xxxxxx, and in connection with any Major Decision, a quorum may not be deemed established without the presence of at least one Executive Committee member appointed by Sponsor.
(g) Provided that notice of a meeting has been given to each Member as called for by clause (e), above, the act of a majority (in number) of the members of the Executive Committee present shall be the act of the Executive Committee, unless the act of a greater number is required by this Agreement; and no action shall be deemed to have taken place unless a majority of the members of the Executive Committee shall have approved the same provided; however, that no Major Decision or other Executive Committee matter may be decided, nor may any Executive Committee action be taken, without the attendance at the applicable meeting of, and the vote of, an Executive Committee member appointed by Xxxxxx. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if there is a disagreement between the Executive Committee members appointed by Sponsor and the Executive Committee members appointed by Xxxxxx with respect to any matter requiring the vote, consent or approval of the Executive Committee (other than a Major Decision), the Xxxxxx members of the Executive Committee shall have the right to cast the deciding vote and thus the decision made by Xxxxxx shall be deemed the decision of the Executive Committee, irrespective of the actual number of members of the Executive Committee appointed by Xxxxxx that are present at such meeting (or taking part in any Executive Committee action by written consent), or of the number of contrary votes cast by the members of the Executive Committee not appointed by Xxxxxx.
46
(h) Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Executive Committee or any other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Executive Committee may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, shall be signed by a majority in number of the members of the Executive Committee entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof. Any such consent signed by a majority in number of the members of the Executive Committee shall have the same effect as an act of a majority (in number) of the members of the Executive Committee at a properly called and constituted meeting of the Executive Committee at which a quorum were present and voting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary provided elsewhere herein, no Major Decision or other Executive Committee matter may be decided, nor may any Executive Committee action be taken, by written consent or otherwise, without the attendance at the applicable meeting of, and the vote of, an Executive Committee member appointed by Xxxxxx, and, in the case of any Major Decision, without the vote of the Executive Committee Member appointed by Sponsor.
(i) The members of the Executive Committee may participate in and act at meetings of the Executive Committee through the use of a conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation in such meetings shall constitute attendance in person at the meeting of the person or persons so participating.
(j) Except as otherwise determined by the Executive Committee or as approved as part of any Budget (except that the consent of all disinterested Members shall be required in the case of salaries or remuneration), no member thereof, nor officer of the Company, nor employee, agent or contractor of any Member or any Affiliate thereof (other than the Company), shall be entitled to receive any salary or any remuneration or expense reimbursement from the Company for his or her services as a member of the Executive Committee or for his or her services to the Company or with respect to Company Property.
(k) The Executive Committee may, by resolution, designate one or more individuals as employees or agents of the Company in furtherance of its business and exclusive purposes. No such employee or agent need be a Member of the Company. Each employee or agent shall have the authority and shall perform the duties as designated by the Executive Committee from time to time. Any employee or agent so appointed by the Executive Committee may be removed by the Executive Committee whenever in their judgment the best interests of the Company would be served.
(1) Subject to Section 7.01(e)(i), the approval of any Budget and Operating Plan will be evidenced by the signing or initialing of a copy of the approved version by at least a majority (in number) of the members of the Executive Committee. Minutes and/or resolutions of the Executive Committee when initialed or signed by a majority (in number) of the members of the Executive Committee shall be binding and conclusive evidence of the decisions reflected therein and any authorizations granted thereby.
(m) Each of Xxxxxx and Sponsor may, at any time as set forth in a notice to the other Member, remove, for any reason or no reason, its own representative from the Executive Committee and may designate a replacement person to act as its representative. Any representative appointed pursuant to this Section 7.02(m) shall satisfy the requirements of Sections 7.02(a)(i) or (a)(ii). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Article VII or any other provision of this Agreement, and without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing (i) Xxxxxx, acting alone and without the approval of Sponsor or the Executive Committee, shall have the right (x) to declare that Sponsor has committed For
47
Cause conduct and (y) after the expiration of the Lockout Period, to cause the Company to sell the Company Property and to control such sale process, subject to Sponsor’s rights under Section 9.05, and (ii) Sponsor acting alone and without the approval of Xxxxxx or the Executive Committee, shall have the right to declare that a Xxxxxx Removal Event has occurred.

(o) If a Xxxxxx Removal Event has occurred, then (i) the members appointed by Xxxxxx to the Executive Committee shall be automatically removed from the Executive Committee and Sponsor shall replace Xxxxxx as the Administrative Member hereunder without any further action by any Member or the Executive Committee, (ii) Xxxxxx shall have no right to have any members on the Executive Committee or to make any decisions hereunder, including, without limitation, any Major Decisions (except pursuant to Section 2.06, to the limited extent necessary, if applicable, to protect HPP’s continued REIT status) or any decision to cause the Company to sell the Company Property, pursuant to Section 9.05 or otherwise, and (iII) all members of the Executive Committee shall be appointed by Sponsor.

Administrative Member may rely on written instructions from the Executive Committee.

The Member requesting arbitration shall do so by giving notice to that effect to the other Member specifying the name and address of the person designated to act as an arbitrator on its behalf. Within five (5) Business Days after the service of such notice, the other Member shall give notice to the first Member specifying the name and address of the person designated to act as an arbitrator on its behalf. If the other Member fails to timely notify the first party of the appointment of its arbitrator, then the appointed arbitrators shall in writing immediately notify by personal delivery the AAA in Los Angeles County (or any successor organization thereto) and request that the AAA appoint such arbitrator within three (3) Business Days of receipt of the notice.

Each arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section 7.03(d) shall have a minimum of ten (10) years of experience in the operation, ownership, leasing and finance of office and/or commercial real estate in Los Angeles County. Each arbitrator appointed by a Member pursuant to this Section 7.03(d) shall be deemed non-neutral and need not meet any standards to the contrary in the Commercial Expedited Arbitration Rules of the AAA (or any successor provision thereto). The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Los Angeles, California and in the English language. The arbitrators appointed shall commence and conduct the arbitration hearing as promptly as possible and shall determine the issues in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Said hearing, shall it be necessary to be continued, shall be conducted on successive and continuous days exclusive of Sunday and Federal holidays, until the taking of testimony and evidence is completed and the hearing is closed by the arbitrators. The arbitrators must render a written decision no later than ten (10) days after the close of the hearing. The arbitrators may conduct the arbitration process informally and without strict adherence to the rules of evidence and may, applying the experience of the arbitrators (but otherwise consistent with the terms of this Section 7.03(d) and (e)), consider such matters as such arbitrator deems appropriate to reach a determination as to the Deadlock Decision, provided that each party shall be entitled to make written submissions to the arbitration panel and, if requested by either party, the arbitration panel shall hold at least one hearing at which each party may be heard. Each party may make a submission to the arbitration panel, and such party shall also provide a copy of its submission to the other party and the other party shall have the right to respond in writing to such submission. Each party will cooperate with the arbitration panel and will provide to the arbitration panel all data and information reasonably requested by such arbitration to the end that the arbitration panel may reach a decision on the Deadlock Decision as rapidly as possible. Within ten (10) days after their respective appointment, the arbitration panel shall resolve the Deadlock Decision, by choosing one of the positions advocated
50
by the Members, and deliver a written report to the Members stating such decision. The decision, made in writing and signed by any two of such three arbitrators, shall determine such dispute. The decision of the arbitrators shall be final and conclusive with respect to such submitted matter(s) and no arbitrator shall have any right or power to consider, determine or resolve any other issue or dispute between the parties, or to alter, modify or amend any of the provisions of this Agreement.

The provisions of Section 7.03(d) shall govern the arbitration of such dispute in all respects; provided, however, in evaluating each Member’s Financial Proposals, the arbitration panel shall determine which of the proposals submitted best serves the interest of the Company based on (1) the Company’s Financing Guidelines and (2) the arbitrators’ determination of the best interests of the Company within the boundaries of the Company’s Financing Guidelines, it being understood and agreed that, in no event, shall any arbitrator have any right to select any Financing Proposal containing any recourse term to, or requiring any other credit enhancement by any Member or any Affiliate of any Member which are not specifically set forth in the Financing Guidelines. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that, notwithstanding the procedures set forth in this Section 7.03(e), the Members are unable to obtain replacement Financing Proposals, or to otherwise resolve any dispute with respect to any replacement Financing Proposals, in each case, in time reasonably sufficient to enable the Company to, following resolution of any such dispute, actually close upon the Loan contemplated by the winning Financing Proposal, then Xxxxxx shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide bridge financing to the Company in order to prevent any maturity default, upon reasonable terms and conditions and otherwise pursuant to documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Xxxxxx and the Company.

If Sponsor has not received an Acceptance Notice from Xxxxxx prior to the expiration of such 15-day period, Sponsor shall be free to sell the Sponsor Offered Interest to any Person in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.06. If within such 15-day period, Xxxxxx delivers to Sponsor an Acceptance Notice that satisfies the requirements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then within two (2) Business Days after delivery of such Acceptance Notice, Xxxxxx shall deposit in an escrow established by the parties a non-refundable cash deposit equal to five percent (5%) of the Proposed Offered Interest Price (to be applied to the purchase price at closing). Xxxxxx’x failure to make such deposit within such 2-Business Day period shall be deemed to be the equivalent of Xxxxxx’x failure to deliver an Acceptance Notice and Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate shall thereafter have the right to sell the Sponsor Offered Interest as otherwise provided in this Section 9.06. If the deposit is timely made, the parties shall enter into a purchase and sale agreement on the form proposed by Sponsor and mutually acceptable to the parties (each acting in good faith), it being understood that the Sponsor Offered Interest will be sold on an as-is, where-is basis without any representations and warranties (other than organizational representations and warranties and representation and warranties confirming that Sponsor owns 100% of the Sponsor Offered Interest, has not assigned any portion thereof to any Xxxxx, and that the Sponsor Offered Interest will be conveyed unencumbered) on the part of Sponsor as seller, and that the purchase and sale agreement will not provide for any credit enhancement or other seller holdback for any property level representations or warranties (as opposed to representations regarding membership interests) . The purchase and sale agreement shall provide for a closing thereunder within ninety (90) days of the date on which Xxxxxx made its 5% deposit. If a default on the part of Xxxxxx occurs under such purchase and sale agreement and is not cured prior to the expiration of all applicable cure periods, then (i) Xxxxxx shall be deemed to have forfeited its 5% deposit which shall be retained by Sponsor as their sole remedy against Xxxxxx as a result of such default, and (ii) Xxxxxx shall have no further rights under this Section 9.06. If Xxxxxx does not deliver an Acceptance Notice within the applicable 15-day period required hereunder, Sponsor shall be free to market the Sponsor Offered Interest and consummate a sale thereof for a price that is equal to or greater than 95% of the Proposed Offered Interest Price and on other material business and economic terms that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to Sponsor than the Proposed Offered Interest Terms and on such other terms that are consistent with a customary form of purchase and sale agreement, together with market changes thereto and changes which do not have a material adverse effect on the Company (other than as permitted pursuant to the 5% variance allowed above) but in either case without regard to considerations of timing; provided, however, that (1) if Sponsor is unable to sell the Sponsor Offered Interest within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date the applicable Acceptance Notice was required to be delivered by
60
Xxxxxx, or (2) if Sponsor desire to sell the Sponsor Offered Interest for a price that is less than 95% of the Proposed Offered Interest Price or otherwise upon material business and economic terms that, taken as a whole, are materially less favorable to Sponsor than the Proposed Offered Interest Terms, Sponsor shall, in each case, re-offer the Sponsor Offered Interest for purchase to Xxxxxx in accordance with this Section 9.06 prior to consummating any sale of the Sponsor Offered Interest to any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that any sale of the Sponsor Offered Interest pursuant to this Section 9.06 to any Person other than Xxxxxx (or its Affiliates) shall expressly exclude the Non-Transferable Sponsor Rights (all of which shall become null and void and of no further force or effect automatically upon the closing of any such sale transaction) and the admission of any such transferee of the Sponsor Offered Interest shall be subject to the condition (in addition to the requirements of Section 9.03) that such transferee execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement removing the Non-Transferable Sponsor Rights. If Xxxxxx exercises its rights pursuant to this Section 9.06 and acquires the Sponsor Offered Interest, then Xxxxxx shall attempt to cause the applicable Lender to release the applicable Sponsor Loan Parties from any Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations with respect to matters first arising after the closing of the sale of the Sponsor Offered Interest to Xxxxxx, or, alternatively, creditworthy Affiliates of Xxxxxx reasonably acceptable to Sponsor shall provide an indemnity to the Sponsor Loan Parties indemnifying the Sponsor Loan Parties from and against any Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations first arising or occurring following the closing of the Sponsor Offered Interest to Xxxxxx. In the event that Xxxxxx shall not exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 9.06 and Sponsor shall desire to sell the Sponsor Offered Interest to another Person in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.06, then, as a condition to such sale, (1) the proposed transferee and its creditworthy Affiliates and/or principals shall provide a replacement guaranty to any then applicable Lender in form and substance substantially identical to any Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations then provided by the Sponsor Loan Parties and otherwise in form reasonable acceptable to Lender, and (2) the proposed transferee and its creditworthy Affiliates and/or principals acceptable to Xxxxxx shall enter into a form of reimbursement and indemnity agreement as required pursuant to Section 4.05, in each case, with respect to matters first arising or occurring prior to the date of the sale of the Sponsor Offered Interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.06, the obligations of the Sponsor Loan Parties under any Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement then in effect shall survive any sale of the Sponsor Offered Interest with respect to matters first arising or occurring prior to the date of the sale of the Sponsor Offered Interest, provided, however, that, if the proposed transferee and its creditworthy Affiliates and/or principals acceptable to Xxxxxx and to Lender agree to assume all of the Sponsor Loan Parties obligations (on both a historical and going forward basis) with respect to all then applicable Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations, the Sponsor Loan Parties shall be released from such surviving liability under the applicable Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement.
9.07. | SPONSOR PUT RIGHT: |
(a) If at any time a transaction constituting a Xxxxxx Transfer Event is announced (including, without limitation, prior to the expiration of the Lockout Period), and, provided no For Cause or other Event of Default on the part of Sponsor shall have occurred, Xxxxxx shall, within two (2) Business Days following such announcement deliver written notice of such announcement to Sponsor and Sponsor (acting together but not individually for the avoidance of doubt) shall have the right to require Xxxxxx to acquire the Sponsor Offered Interest in accordance with this Section 9.07 by delivering written notice (the “Put Notice”) to Xxxxxx on or before the fifteenth (15th) day after Sponsor shall have received Xxxxxx’x notice of the initial public announcement with respect to such transaction. The Put Notice
61
shall (i) contain a statement of irrevocable intent to utilize the procedures set forth in this Section 9.07 and (ii) contain a statement of the aggregate dollar amount for which Sponsor is willing to sell all of the assets of the Company and all Property Owner LLC’s (the “Specified Valuation Amount”) as of the date of the Put Notice. Xxxxxx, after receiving the Put Notice shall have the option either to (A) sell Xxxxxx’x entire Interest (the “Xxxxxx Offered Interest”) to Sponsor for an amount equal to the amount Xxxxxx would be entitled to receive if the Company sold all of its (and all of any Property Owner LLC’s) assets and business for the Specified Valuation Amount on the date of the Put Notice and immediately thereafter, the Company paid all liabilities and obligations of the Company (and/or of any Property Owner LLC) and deducted customary closing costs (excluding brokerage fees and commissions) that would be associated with a third party sale, and distributed the net proceeds and any other Company assets to each Member in liquidation of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (excluding, however, reserves described in Section 11.02); or (B) to purchase the entire Sponsor Offered Interest for an amount equal to the amount that Sponsor would be entitled to receive if the Company sold all of its (and all of any Property Owner LLC’s) assets and business for the Specified Valuation Amount on the date of the Put Notice and immediately thereafter, the Company paid all liabilities and obligations of the Company (and/or of any Property Owner LLC) and deducted customary closing costs (excluding brokerage fees and commissions) that would be associated with a third party sale, and distributed the net proceeds and any other Company assets to each Member in liquidation of the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (excluding, however, reserves described in Section 11.02).
(b) Xxxxxx shall give written notice (the "Put Response Notice") to Sponsor of its election within thirty (30) days after receiving the Put Notice (the "Put Response Period"). If Xxxxxx does not send its Put Response Notice within the Put Period, Xxxxxx shall be deemed conclusively to have elected to sell Xxxxxx’x Interest. The Member obligated to purchase under this Section 9.07 shall fix a closing date not later than forty-five (45) days following the date of the earlier of the delivery of the Put Response Notice or the expiration of such Put Response Period (the “Put Closing”) and shall deposit an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the amount for the Sponsor Offered Interest or the Xxxxxx Offered Interest, as applicable, calculated pursuant to the terms of Section 9.07(a) (the "Put Deposit") in the escrow established for the closing of the sale. At the Put Closing, the selling Member shall execute and deliver to the purchasing Member assignments of interest, deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, as applicable, and such other instruments as the purchasing Member may reasonably require to give the purchasing Member good and marketable title to all of the right, title and interest in and to the selling Member's Interest (it being understood and agreed, however, that such sale shall be made on an as-is, where-is basis other than organizational representations and warranties and representation and warranties confirming that the selling Member owns 100% of the Interest being sold, has not assigned any portion thereof to any Xxxxx, and that the Interest being sold will be conveyed unencumbered). Each Member shall pay its own legal, accounting and other consultant fees and expenses in connection with consummating a transaction under this Section 9.07, and all other closing costs shall be allocated 50% to the selling Member and 50% to the purchasing Member. The purchasing Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the selling Member as its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out and enforce the provisions of this Section 9.07 following the failure of the purchasing Member to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as and when required herein, after written request to do so. If the purchasing Member defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Section 9.07 the selling Member may, as its exclusive remedy (except for the purchasing Member's loss of rights described in the next sentence), either (i) retain the Put Deposit as liquidated damages, or (ii) acquire the purchasing Member's Interest at a ten percent (10%) discount to the price that would otherwise have been applicable
62
to an acquisition of such Member's Interest under this Section 9.07 and with an extra sixty (60) days (from the time of default) to make such decision, and an extra sixty (60) days (from the time of such election) to close, but otherwise on the terms described in this Section 9.07. If the selling Member defaults, the purchasing Member may enforce its rights by specific performance (and damages incidental to a specific performance action which are allowed as part of such action as well as a dollar amount equal to the Deposit as agreed upon liquidated damages), as its exclusive remedy. If the Member defaulting under this Section is the Sponsor, then Sponsor shall have no further rights under this Section 9.07, including, without limitation, to trigger the procedures set forth herein.
(c) The purchasing Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any applicable Lender to release the selling Member and/or its creditworthy Affiliates from any Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations to the extent first arising from and after the date of the sale of such selling Member’s Interest pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.07, provided; however, if Lender is unwilling to provide such release, the purchasing Member shall provide an indemnity from its creditworthy Affiliates reasonably acceptable to the selling Member with respect to any Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations to the extent first arising from and after the date of the sale of such selling Member’s Interest. For the avoidance of doubt, no Sponsor Loan Party (if Sponsor is the selling Member) and no Xxxxxx Loan Party (if Xxxxxx is the selling Member) shall be released from any obligation under any Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement then in effect for such Loan with respect to Non-Recourse Carveout Obligations arising out of or relating to the period prior to the sale of the selling Member’s interest, and the same shall survive any sale contemplated by this Section 9.07.
(d) The amount to be paid for the selling Member's Interest in the Company shall be adjusted as follows: There shall be determined, as of the date of the Put Closing (i) the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions made by the selling Member between the date of the Put Notice and the date of the Closing, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all distributions of capital made to the selling Member during such period pursuant to Sections 6.03(a) and 6.03(b). If (A) the amount determined under (i) exceeds the amount determined under (ii), then the amount to be received by the selling Member shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and (B) if the amount determined under (ii) exceeds the amount determined under (i), then the amount to be received by the selling Member shall be decreased by the amount of such excess.

intentional misrepresentations. No general or limited partner of any Member, shareholder, member or other holder of an equity interest in such Member or manager, officer of director of any of the foregoing shall be personally liable for the performance of any such Member’s obligations under this Agreement, but the foregoing shall not relieve any partner or member of any Member from its obligations to such Member.

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive for a period of four (4) years from the date of dissolution of the Company, provided that, if at the end of such period there are any actions,
64
proceedings or investigations then pending, any Indemnitee may so notify the Company and the other Members at such time (which notice shall include a brief description of each such action, proceeding or investigation and the liabilities asserted therein) and the provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive with respect to each such action, proceeding or investigation set forth in such notice (or any related action, proceeding or investigation based upon the same or similar claim) until such date that such action, proceeding or investigation is finally resolved.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Company or any Member under this Section 10.02 shall (i) be in addition to any liability which the Company or such Member may otherwise have and (ii) inure to the benefit of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates and their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates and any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Persons.

These rights and defenses being waived by such Obligated Party include, but are not limited to (i) any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, (ii) to the extent permitted by law any and all rights and defenses, including without limitation any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution until the obligations of Sponsor hereunder are fully discharged, which might otherwise be available to such Obligated Party under
California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433, or under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections. Without limitation, none of the Obligated Parties shall exercise any voting rights, shall file any claim or participate or appear in any bankruptcy or insolvency case involving the other with respect to the obligations set forth herein whether or not such obligations shall have been paid and performed in full.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the undersigned has executed this Joinder as of the date and year first written above.

As of November __, 2003
7.9. Sale Right.
(a) DBRE Sale Right. DBRE shall have the right to exercise the sale right described in this Section 7.9 at any time after the date hereof. If DBRE desires to invoke the provisions of this Section 7.9, DBRE shall deliver to the other Partners written notice that DBRE desires to cause the Partnership to pursue the sale of the Property and invoke the provisions of this Section 7.9 (the “Sale Notice”). The Sale Notice shall set forth a price (the “Proposed Sale Price”), which shall be all cash, at which DBRE would be willing to sell the Property, in an “as is” condition (including no representations, warranties, indemnifications or guaranties by or from the Partnership (or the Partners) in favor of the prospective buyer relating to the condition of the Property, or the nature or quality of construction of any improveme nts thereon) taking into account the cost of any transfer and recordation taxes, real estate commissions, attorney’s fees, post-closing obligations, loan prepayment fees and charges and other closing costs to be paid by the Partnership (the “Seller Transaction Costs” The amount of cash proceeds distributable to a Partner pursuant to Section 10.3 hereof upon the sale of the Property at the Proposed Sale Price and the closing of the transactions described in the Sale Notice, after payment of (a) all debts and liabilities of the Partnership not to be assumed by a purchaser and (b) the Seller Transaction Costs, is herein referred to as the “Net Equity”. The Sale Notice shall constitute (i) a notice by DBRE to cause the Partnership to sell the Property pursuant to a transaction that will generate Net Equity distributable to the MDP Partner Group in an amount not less than ninety-seven percent (97%) of the Net Equity distributable to the MDP Partner Group pursuant to the transaction described in the Sale Notice (“97% of the Net Equity”), and, in the alternative, (ii) an irrevocable Offer by the DBRE Partner Group to sell its entire interest (and to cause the General Partner to sell its interest) in the Partnership (“DB Partner Group Interest”) to the MDP Partner Group for an aggregate price (the “DB Partner Payment”) equal to the Net Equity distributable to the DB Partner Group pursuant to the transaction described in the Sale Notice (but for purposes of determining the deduction for Seller Transaction Costs in calculating the DB Partner Payment, only the Seller Transaction Costs to be actually incurred in connection with such sale of the DB Partner Group Interest to the MDP Partner Group shall be deducted). If DBRE invokes the sale right described in this Section 7.9, the provisions of this Section 7.9 shall control and be binding on the Partners and, if the Property is sold to a third party pursuant to the procedure described in Section 7.9(b) hereof, such a sale of the Property shall not require the approval of the General Partner or any other Limited Partner hereof and the General Partner, at the direction of DBRE, will enter into a contract on behalf of the Partnership to effect such a sale of the Property and will close and consummate such sale.
(b) Election. Upon receipt of the Sale Notice, the MDP Partner Group shall elect either (i) to approve, authorize and permit the Property to be sold pursuant to a transaction that will generate at least 97% of the Net Equity or (ii) to purchase the DB Partner Group Interest at a price equal to the DB Partner Payment and on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice. The MDP Partner Group shall give notice of its election hereunder to DBRE within thirty (30) days after the MDP Partner Group’s receipt of the Sale Notice; provided, however, that in the event the MDP Partner Group shall fail to give DBRE notice of its election within such thirty (30) day period, the MDP Partner Group shall be conclusively deemed to have elected that the Property be
sold as provided in clause (i) of this Section 7.9(6). In the event the MDP Partner Group elects or is deemed to have elected so to permit the Property to be sold, DBRE shall have nine (9) months (commencing with the date upon which DBRE receives such written election or the date it is deemed to have occurred) to market the Property on terms which would generate at least 97% of the Net Equity. If within such nine (9) month period, the Partnership shall receive a bona fide all cash written offer from a buyer to purchase the Property (which may include assumption by the prospective buyer of the debt then encumbering the Property, provided such assumption is allowable under the terms of such debt and related security) which the DB Partner Group desires to accept (a “Purchase Offer”) pursuant to a transaction that will generate at least 97% of the Net Equity and close within 120 days after the date of the Purchase Offer, then, at the direction of DBRE, the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall accept such Purchase Offer and the sale of the Property shall thereafter be closed in accordance with the terms of such Purchase Offer. The closing of such a sale of the Property shall take place at such time, date and place, and on such terms, as are agreed between DBRE and the buyer, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.9; provided, however, that so long as the transaction will generate at least 97% of the Net Equity, the DB Partner Group will not be required to submit a new Sale Notice to the MDP Partner Group in the event such terms include representations, warranties, guaranties or indemnities regarding the condition of the Property or the nature or quality of construction thereof as described in Section 7.9(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the DB Partner Group will be required to submit a new Sale Notice if any of the aforementioned agreed upon terms between DBRE and the buyer include direct or indirect income guaranties or indemnifications which will benefit the buyer to a greater extent than that which is described in the then existing Sale Notice. If the Property is sold pursuant to a Sale Notice, the Partnership shall pay all Seller Transaction Costs required to be paid by the Partnership as the seller pursuant to such transaction,
(c) Expiration. If (i) the Partnership shall not receive a Purchase Offer which DBRE desires to accept within said nine (9) month period after the MDP Partner Group’s election or deemed election to sell the Property or (ii) the sale of the Property pursuant to a Purchase Offer fails to close in accordance with its terms, then the Sale Notice shall be deemed to be ineffective, and the Partners shall thereupon be subject to all the provisions of this Section 7.9 as if no Sale Notice had been given; provided, however, DBRE shall have the right to subsequently invoke the sale right provisions of this Section 7.9.
(d) Xxxxxxx Money. If the MDP Partner Group elects to purchase the DB Partner Group Interest pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 7.9(b), then, as a condition to the effectiveness of such election, the MDP Partner Group shall be required to deposit in escrow with a title insurance company (“Escrow Holder”) reasonably acceptable to DBRE, within ten (10) Business Days after the date the MDP Partner Group makes such election, a xxxx xxxxxxx money deposit of four percent (4%) of the DB Partner Payment (but in no event greater than $1 million) payable to the Escrow Holder. On the Partner Closing Date (as hereafter defined), subject to the conditions to closing, such xxxxxxx money, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be paid by the Escrow Holder to the DB Partner Group and such amount shall be credited against the DB Partner Payment.
(e) Partner Closing. If the MDP Partner Group elects to purchase the DB Partner Group Interest pursuant to Section 7.9(b) hereof, then the sale of the DB Partner Group Interest and the withdrawal of the DB Partner Group from the Partnership shall be closed and consummated through Escrow Holder on the date (the “Partner Closing Date”) designated by the MDP Partner Group in a notice to the DB Partner Group, which date shall be within one hundred twenty (120) days after the election made by the MD? Partner Group. Effective as of the Partner Closing Date, (i) the Partners in the DB Partner Group shall release any and all claims (of any nature whatsoever) against the Partnership and the Partners, (ii) the Partnership and the Partners in the MDP Partner Group shall release any and all claims (of any nature whatsoever) against the Partners in the DB Partner Group arising from and after the Partner Closing Date, (iii) the Partners in the DB Partner Group shall cease to be a Partners of the Partnership and (iv) the provisions of this Section 7.9(e) shall apply. The balance of the DB Partner Payment, after credit for the xxxxxxx money deposited with the Escrow Holder, shall be deposited with the Escrow Holder by the MDP Partner Group in cash on or prior to the Partner Closing Date. On or prior to the Partner Closing Date, the Partners in the DB Partner Group shall execute, seal, swear to and deliver for and on their behalf all assignment and other documents that may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the MDP Partner Group, to transfer the DB Partner Group Interest to the MDP Partner Group free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, provided that an Affiliate of the MDP Partner Group (selected by MDP in its sole and absolute discretion) shall agree to assume the known General Partner’s obligations related to the Partnership, and the MDP Partner Group shall thereafter indemnify, hold harmless and defend the DB Partner Group from and against any and all such liabilities accruing from and after the Partner Closing Date. If the MDP Partner Group purchases the DB Partner Group Interest pursuant to this Section 7.9, since the Seller Transaction Costs actually incurred in connection with such transaction shall be deducted in determining the DB Partner Payment, the Partnership shall pay such Seller Transaction Costs, Notwithstanding the foregoing, the MDP Partner Group and DBRE shall each pay the fees and expenses of its own legal counsel incurred pursuant to the exercise of the sale right described in this Section 7.9; provided, however, if the Property is sold to a third party pursuant to a Sale Notice, then the Partnership shall pay the legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with the sale of the Property,
(f) Default.
(i) In the event DBRE defaults in the performance of its obligations under the sale right procedures described in this Section 7.9, the MDP Partner Group shall have the right to receive a return of its xxxxxxx money deposit or exercise the remedy of specific performance. DBRE acknowledges that monetary damages in favor of the MDP Partner Group as a result of DBRE’s default will not be an adequate remedy to the MDP Partner Group, at law or in equity.
(ii) IN THE EVENT THE MDP PARTNER GROUP FAILS TO CLOSE THE PURCHASE OF DB PARTNER GROUP INTEREST BY REASON OF MDP PARTNER GROUP’S DEFAULT UNDER THE SALE RIGHT PROCEDURES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 7.9, THEN DBRE
SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT AND REMEDY FOR MDP PARTNER GROUP’S DEFAULT, TO BE PAID AND RETAIN THE XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT DESCRIBED IN SECTION 7,9(d) HEREOF AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH DEFAULT OF THE MDP PARTNER GROUP. THE PARTNERS ACKNOWLEDGE THE DIFFICULTY OF ESTABLISHING THE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO DBRE IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY THE MDP PARTNER GROUP UNDER
THIS SECTION 7.9 AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES AND AN AGREED AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE DEFAULT OF THE MDP PARTNER GROUP
DBRE’s Initials | MDP Initials |
(g) Group Allocation. In the event the MDP Partner Group elects to purchase the DB Partner Group’s Interest, the MDP Partner Group shall acquire the DB Partner Group Interest (and pay the DB Partner Payment) in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in the Partnership or as they may otherwise agree.
7.10 Depositary Bank Approval. The Partners acknowledge that in accordance with the KAGG and the KAGG Investment Agreement, the Bank must approve any Transfer of DBRE’s interest in the Partnership and/or any sale or encumbrance of the Property. In the event that DBRE is the Transferring Partner pursuant to Section 7.4 above or issues a Sale Notice pursuant to Section 7.9 above, DBRE shall be required to obtain the provisional approval of the Bank pursuant to the KAGG Investment Agreement prior to issuing a ROFO Notice or Sale Notice, as applicable. MDP understands that in the event MDP elects to acquire the ROFO Interest or the interest of DBRE for the price and on the terms set forth in such ROFO Notice or Sale Notice (including, without limitation, the terms of any assignment and assumption agreement or purchase and sale agreement, as applicable, that may be included in the ROFO Notice or Sale Notice, as applicable) the review and final approval of such transaction by the Bank cannot be arbitrarily withheld and will be limited in scope to confirming that the final terms of the transaction are not materially different from those for which provisional approval is granted. However, any material changes to the terms set forth in such ROFO Notice or Sale Notice will require further Bank approval.

EXAMPLE OF DILUTION CALCULATION
By way of example only, and without limitation, assume that on the Effective Date, the Members made Capital Contributions aggregating $1,000,000, of which $650,000 was made by Xxxxxx, with a Percentage Interest of sixty five percent (65%), $50,000 was made by Pinnacle 1 Sponsor, with a Percentage Interest of five percent (5%), and $300,000 was made by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate with a Percentage Interest of thirty percent (30%). Subsequent to the Effective Date, the Executive Committee calls for Additional Capital Contributions of $500,000 in the aggregate (the "Additional Capital Call"), of which Xxxxxx is responsible for $325,000, Pinnacle 1 Sponsor is responsible for $25,000 and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate is responsible for $150,000.
A. Assume further that Xxxxxx and Pinnacle 1 Sponsor make their respective shares of the Additional Capital Call, but Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate does not. Pinnacle 1 Sponsor may not elect to make contributions on behalf of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate. Xxxxxx elects to make contributions on behalf of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate in the amount of $150,000, which amount is a "Substituted Capital Contribution" equal to Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s share of the Additional Capital Call. After the Additional Capital Call is funded, the Members' Percentage Interests shall have been adjusted as follows, in accordance with Section 4.02(c):
1. Pinnacle 1 Sponsor: The adjusted Percentage Interest of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor, in the aggregate, is calculated by dividing (1) the positive difference, if any, between (a) the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 1 Sponsor to the Company ($75,000), plus (ii) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 1 Sponsor to the Company ($0), minus (b) the Excess Amounts attributable to the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by any other Member to the Company on account of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor’s failure to make any Additional Capital Contribution ($0), by (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including without limitation Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members to the Company ($1,500,000). This results in a Percentage Interest for Pinnacle 1 Sponsor of (i) the sum of $75,000 divided by (ii) $1,500,000 = 5%.
2. Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate: Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s adjusted Percentage Interest is calculated by dividing (1) the positive difference, if any, between (a) the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate to the Company ($300,000), plus (ii) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate to the Company ($0), minus (b) the Excess Amounts attributable to the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by any other Member to the Company on account of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s failure to make any Additional Capital Contribution ($75,000), by (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including without limitation Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members to the Company ($1,500,000). This results in a Percentage Interest for Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate of (i) the difference between $300,000 minus $75,000, divided by (ii) $1,500,000 = 15%.
3. Xxxxxx: The adjusted Percentage Interest of Xxxxxx, in the aggregate, is calculated by dividing (1) the positive difference, if any, between (a) the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by Xxxxxx to the Company ($975,000), plus (ii) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by Xxxxxx to the Company ($225,000), minus (b) the Excess Amounts attributable to the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by any other Member to the Company on account of Xxxxxx’x failure to make any Additional Capital Contribution ($0), by (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including without limitation Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members to the Company ($1,500,000). This results in a Percentage Interest for Xxxxxx of (i) the sum of $975,000 plus $225,000 divided by (ii) $1,500,000 = 80%.
B. Using the same example, assume instead that Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate contribute their respective shares of the Additional Capital Call, but Xxxxxx does not. Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor both elect to make the contributions on behalf of Xxxxxx. In that case, Pinnacle 1 Sponsor would contribute 14.28% (Pinnacle 1 Sponsor’s proportionate share based on its Percentage Interest relative to Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s (5 divided by 35)) of Xxxxxx’x $325,000 = $46,410, which amount is a "Substituted Capital Contribution" of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor; and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate would contribute 85.72% (Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s proportionate share based on its Percentage Interest relative to Pinnacle 1 Sponsor (30 divided by 35)) of Xxxxxx’x $325,000 = $278,590, which amount is a "Substituted Capital Contribution" of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate, such that the aggregate amount of the Substituted Capital Contributions by Pinnacle 1 Sponsor and Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate equals Xxxxxx’x share of the Additional Capital Call. After the Additional Capital Call is funded, the Members' Percentage Interests shall have been adjusted as follows, in accordance with Section 4.02(c):
1. Pinnacle 1 Sponsor: The adjusted Percentage Interest of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor, in the aggregate, is calculated by dividing (1) the positive difference, if any, between (a) the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 1 Sponsor to the Company ($75,000), plus (ii) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 1 Sponsor to the Company ($69,615), minus (b) the Excess Amounts attributable to the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by any other Member to the Company on account of Pinnacle 1 Sponsor’s failure to make any Additional Capital Contribution ($0), by (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including, without limitation, Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members to the Company ($1,500,000). This results in a Percentage Interest for Pinnacle 1 Sponsor of (i) the sum of $75,000 plus $69,615, divided by (ii) $1,500,000 = 9.641%
2. Xxxxxx: Xxxxxx’x adjusted Percentage Interest is calculated by dividing (1) the positive difference, if any, between (a) the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substituted Capital Contributions ) then or theretofore made by Xxxxxx to the Company ($650,000), plus (ii) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by Xxxxxx to the Company ($0), minus (b) the Excess Amounts attributable to the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by any other Member to the Company on account of Xxxxxx failure to make any Additional Capital Contribution ($162,500), by (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including, without limitation, Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members
to the Company ($1,500,000). This results in a Percentage Interest for Xxxxxx of (i) the difference between $650,000 minus $162,500, divided by (ii) $1,500,000 = 32.5%
3. Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate: Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s adjusted Percentage Interest is calculated by dividing (1) the positive difference, if any, between (a) the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate to the Company ($450,000), plus (ii) one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate to the Company ($417,885), minus (b) the Excess Amounts attributable to the Substituted Capital Contributions then or theretofore made by any other Member to the Company on account of Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate’s failure to make any Additional Capital Contribution ($0), by (2) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including, without limitation, Substituted Capital Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members to the Company ($1,500,000). This results in a Percentage Interest for Pinnacle 2 Sponsor Affiliate of (i) the sum of $450,000 plus $417,885, divided by (ii) $1,500,000 = 57.859%

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to allocate their respective maximum obligations for the responsibilities for the Obligations;

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that HPP or any Sponsor Party fails to reimburse the other as required hereunder for any amount funded by HPP (or, as applicable Sponsor Party) on behalf of the other party in accordance with this Agreement, shall be treated as a failure to contribute Additional Capital pursuant to the terms of Section 4.02 of the Operating Agreement on the part of Xxxxxx or, as applicable, Sponsor and Xxxxxx (or, as applicable, Sponsor) shall have the rights and remedies set forth in Section 4.02 of the Operating Agreement.
3. Guarantor Waivers. If and to the extent that any Sponsor Party or HPP or any of them (for the purposes of this Section 3 only, being individually and collectively referred to herein as “Guarantor”) would be deemed or construed to be a guarantor or surety under applicable law with respect to its obligations hereunder, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
(a) Guarantor expressly agrees that until each and every term, covenant and condition of this Agreement is fully performed, Guarantor shall not be released by any act or event which might be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or exoneration of a surety, or because of any waiver, extension, modification, forbearance or delay or other act or omission of any Sponsor Party or HPP, as applicable, or its failure to proceed promptly or otherwise as against HPP or Sponsor Party, respectively, or Guarantor, or because of any action taken or omitted or circumstance which might vary the risk or affect the rights or remedies of Guarantor as against HPP or any Sponsor Party, as applicable, or because of any further dealings between any Sponsor Party or HPP, as applicable, whether relating to this Agreement or otherwise. Guarantor hereby expressly waives and surrenders any defense to Guarantor's liability under this Agreement based upon any of the foregoing acts, omissions, things, agreements, waivers or any of them, except to the extent expressly provided in Section 1 hereof. It is the purpose and intent of this Agreement that the obligations of Guarantor under it shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(b) Each Guarantor waives:
(i) all statutes of limitations as a defense to any action or proceeding brought against any Sponsor Party or HPP, or by Guarantor, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted by law;
(ii) any right it may have to require any Sponsor Party or HPP, to proceed against HPP or Sponsor Party, respectively, or pursue any other remedy in any Sponsor Party’s or HPP’s, as applicable, power to pursue, it being acknowledged and agreed that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of HPP and the Sponsor Parties, as applicable, hereunder, and neither any Sponsor Party, nor HPP, shall be required to make any demand upon, exercise any right to declare a default by, or proceed against, HPP or any Sponsor Party, respectively, prior to proceeding against Guarantor to the full extent of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder;
(iii) any defense based on any legal disability of HPP or any Sponsor Party and any discharge, release or limitation of the liability of Xxxxxx to any Sponsor Party, or of Sponsor Party to HPP, as applicable, whether consensual or arising by operation of law or any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, insolvency, or debtor relief proceeding, or from any other cause, or any claim that Guarantor's obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of HPP or Sponsor Parties, as applicable;
(iv) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and notices of every kind, except to the extent expressly provided herein;
(v) any defense based on or arising out of any defense that HPP or any Sponsor Party, as applicable, may have to the payment or performance of any obligation set forth in this Agreement;
(vi) until all obligations under this Agreement have been paid and performed in full, all rights of subrogation and all rights to enforce any remedy that Guarantor may have against HPP or any Sponsor Party, as applicable, all regardless of whether Guarantor may have made any payments to Sponsor Party or HPP, as applicable;
(c) Guarantor assumes full responsibility for keeping informed of the financial condition and business operations of HPP and the Sponsor Parties, as applicable, and all other circumstances affecting HPP and Sponsor Party’s ability to pay for and perform its Obligations and/or its obligations to Sponsor Parties or HPP, respectively, and agrees that the Sponsor Parties and HPP, respectively, shall have no duty to disclose to Guarantor any information which Sponsor Parties, on the one hand, HPP on the other hand, may receive about HPP or the Sponsor Parties’ respective financial condition, business operations, or any other circumstances bearing on its ability to perform.
4. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to conflicts of laws principles.
5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, incorporates all prior negotiations and understandings with respect to such subject matter and may be amended solely by an instrument in writing executed by all of the parties.
6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
7. Waiver of Jury. EACH OF SPONSOR AFFILIATE AND HPP, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
8. Third Parties Not Benefited. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any person or entity other than the parties and their respective successors and assigns, nor shall anything in this Agreement relieve or discharge the obligation
or liability of any third person to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision of this Agreement give any third person any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.
9. Attorneys' Fees. If any action is brought hereunder or to enforce rights hereunder, the prevailing party(ies) shall be entitled to recover its attorneys' fees and costs from the other party(ies).
10. Pinnacle 2 Contribution. Pursuant to the terms of the Pinnacle 1 Transaction Documents, in the event that the Pinnacle 2 Property (as defined in the Operating Agreement) is contributed to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Pinnacle 2 Contribution Agreement, then Pinnacle 1 Lender shall release each of HPP and MDP Ventures from any Obligations under the Pinnacle 1 Recourse Documents, in each case, to the extent first occurring or arising from and after the date the Pinnacle 2 Property is so contributed (the date upon which the Pinnacle 1 Lender so releases HPP and MDP Ventures from any Obligations under the Pinnacle 1 Recourse Documents, the “Pinnacle 1 Guaranty Release Date”). In such event, then, the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate with respect to any Obligations under the Pinnacle 1 Recourse Guaranties to the extent first arising from and after the Pinnacle 1 Guaranty Release Date, it being understood and agreed that the obligations of the parties hereunder shall continue following the Pinnacle 1 Guaranty Release Date to the extent any Obligations are incurred by HPP or MDP Ventures hereunder in respect of any Obligations first arising or occurring prior to the Pinnacle 1 Guaranty Release Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the terms of this Section 10 affect the obligations of the Members pursuant to Section 4.05(b), regardless of when arising.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.

RECITALS:
A. Pursuant to that certain Promissory Note, dated of even date herewith, executed by P1 Xxxxxx MC Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”), and payable to the order of Lender in the original principal amount of One Hundred Twenty Nine Million and No/100 Dollars ($129,000,000.00) (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note”), Borrower has become indebted, and may from time to time be further indebted, to Lender with respect to a loan (“Loan”) made pursuant to that certain Loan Agreement, of even date herewith between Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), which Loan is secured by that certain Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Fixture Filing of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Instrument”), and further evidenced, secured or governed by other instruments and documents executed in connection with the Loan (together with the Note, the Loan Agreement and Security Instrument, collectively, the “Loan Documents”).
B. Lender is not willing to make the Loan, or otherwise extend credit, to Borrower unless Guarantors unconditionally guarantee payment and performance to Lender of the Guaranteed Obligations (as herein defined).
C. Each Guarantor is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Borrower, and each Guarantor will directly benefit from Lender’s making the Loan to Borrower.
D. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, as an inducement to Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, and to extend such additional credit as Lender may from time to time extend under the Loan Documents, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties do hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY
Section 1.1 Guaranty of Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to Lender and its successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Obligations as a primary obligor. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Xxxxxx XX and MDP’s collective liability for the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate.
Section 1.2 Definition of Guaranteed Obligations. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means:
(a) losses, damages (excluding punitive damages and consequential damages (other than punitive damages or consequential damages that are assessed against Lender, and other than any diminution in value or lost revenue which are in any way related to Hazardous Substances or Environmental Statutes)), costs, expenses, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liability), claims, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings or other expenses of any kind whatsoever incurred or suffered by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with the Loan or the Property;
(ii) willful misconduct of Borrower, Guarantors or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with the Loan or the Property;
(iii) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity, the Loan Agreement or the Security Instrument concerning Environmental Statutes or Hazardous Substances;
(iv) intentional physical waste of the Property by any Restricted Party;
(v) the intentional removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default by Borrower, Guarantors, or any Affiliate of either of the foregoing entities;
(vi) breach of any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of the Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Restricted Party in connection therewith;
(vii) any misrepresentation, misleading or incorrect certification or breach of any representation, warranty or certification contained in this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or in any document executed in connection therewith, pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise to induce Lender to make the Loan, or any advance thereof, or to release monies from any account held by Lender (including any reserve or escrow) or to take other action with respect to the Collateral;
(viii) misapplication, misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds, (B) any Awards, (C) any Rents, (D) any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance, or (E) any other monetary collateral for the Loan;
(ix) failure to pay charges for Taxes, Other Charges, labor or materials or judgments that can create Liens on any portion of the Property, unless such charges are the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Borrower is contesting the amount or validity thereof in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; provided, however, there shall be no recourse liability pursuant to this clause (ix) for any losses of Lender first arising after the Applicable Date (as defined below) to the extent (a) such loss arises due to the failure of the Property to produce sufficient cash flow to pay for such amounts, and (b) there are insufficient funds in the applicable Reserve Account to pay such amounts;
(x) failure to deliver to Lender any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(xi) failure by Borrower to obtain and maintain, from time to time, the fully paid for insurance policies in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, there shall be no recourse liability pursuant to this clause (xi) for any losses of Lender first arising after the Applicable Date (as defined below) to the extent (a) such loss arises due to the failure of the Property to generate sufficient income to maintain the insurance policies required by the Loan Agreement in force and (b) there are insufficient funds in the applicable Reserve Account to pay the premiums for such insurance policies;
(xii) Any Restricted Party shall contest, or direct any other Person to contest, the validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any portion thereof, or the Lender’s security interest in the Property and/or shall assert any defense or take any action for the purpose of delaying, hindering or impairing Lender’s enforcement of its rights or remedies under Loan Documents or the realization on any security provided for the Loan, other than a successful good faith assertion of a defense of full payment and/or full performance of an Obligation;
(xiii) Borrower failing to comply (other than a failure described in Section 1.2 (b) (H) of this Guaranty) with any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1.30 of the Loan Agreement or failure by Borrower to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity (unless such failure is de minimis and promptly cured), as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement or the Security Instrument; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no liability to Borrower or Guarantors resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with clause (xxxiv) of the definition of Special Purpose Entity as set forth in the Loan Agreement, solely to the extent there is insufficient cash flow from the Property to pay the taxes required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to such clause (xxxiv); or
(xiv) Borrower’s indemnifications of Lender set forth in Section 9.2 of the Loan Agreement.
As used in clauses (ix) and (xi) above, “Applicable Date” shall mean the date on which (A) Borrower tenders to Lender (whether or not Lender accepts such tender) an unconditional deed-in-lieu of foreclosure for the Property together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (i) there are no Liens on the Property that do not constitute Permitted Encumbrances and (ii) the Property is in compliance with the Environmental Indemnity, or (B) Lender acquires title to the Property through completion of a foreclosure action and Borrower has surrendered possession of the Property to Lender.
(b) the entire amount of the Debt in the event of: (A) Borrower or a Guarantor filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (B) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower or a Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, in which any Restricted Party (by way of example, but not limitation, such Person seeks the appointment of a receiver or files a bankruptcy petition), consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such condition or event; (C) any Restricted Party filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing or joining in any involuntary petition filed against Borrower or a Guarantor, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (D) any Restricted Party consenting to or otherwise acquiescing or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (E) Borrower or a Guarantor making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding (unless failure to make such admission would be a violation of law), its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (F) Borrower failing to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property as required by the Loan Agreement or the Security Instrument; (G) Borrower failing to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer, as required by the Loan Agreement or the Security Instrument; (H) (i) Borrower failing to comply with any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1.30 of the Loan Agreement or failing to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity, as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement or the Security Instrument, and (ii) the substantive consolidation of Borrower or the Property into the bankruptcy estate of another Person; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no liability to Borrower or Guarantors resulting from Borrower’s failure to comply with clause (xxxiv) of the definition of Special Purpose Entity as set forth in the Loan
Agreement, solely to the extent there is insufficient cash flow from the Property to pay the taxes required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to such clause (xxxiv); (I) the first Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is not paid when due.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor expressly waives any defense or benefits arising out of any voluntary or involuntary filing by or on behalf of Borrower for protection under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor relief laws, including without limitation under Sections 364 or 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 1.3 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantors and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by a Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) such Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon such Guarantor’s estate and such Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantors to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.
Section 1.4 Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantors to Lender hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.
Section 1.5 Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantors shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever (except for notices expressly provided for in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, which shall not be waived), all such notices being hereby waived by Guarantors pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.
Section 1.6 No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights which such Guarantor may have to require Lender),
in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantors hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (b) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (c) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (d) join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.7 Waivers. Each Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives to the fullest extent now or hereafter not prohibited by applicable law (I) notice of (a) any loans or advances made by Lender to Borrower, (b) acceptance of this Guaranty, (c) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, (d) the execution and delivery by Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Property, (e) the occurrence of (X) any breach by Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or (Y) an Event of Default, (f) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by Borrower, and (i) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender, and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed (except for notices expressly provided for in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents), (II) all suretyship defenses and defenses in the nature thereof, (III) any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of the assets of Borrower or of any collateral for the Loan, or to cause Lender to proceed against any of the other security for the Recourse Obligations or the Obligations of Borrower before proceeding under this Guaranty against such Guarantor, or, if there shall be more than one Guarantor, to require Lender to proceed against any other Guarantor or any of the Guarantors in any particular order, (IV) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsive counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by such Guarantor, (V) any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other person or persons or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other person or persons, (VI) any defense based upon an election of remedies by Lender, (VII) any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantors any facts Lender may now or hereafter know about Borrower, any Tenant, or the Property, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantors intend to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Guarantors or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Guarantors, it being understood and agreed that Guarantors are fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower, any Tenant or of the condition of the Property and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Guarantors hereunder; (VIII) any lack of notice of disposition or of manner of disposition of any collateral for the Loan, (IX) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in
whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents, (X) any lack of commercial reasonableness in dealing with the collateral for the Loan, (XI) any deficiencies in the collateral for the Loan or any deficiency in the ability of Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any persons or entities now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed, (XII) an assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower) or any other stay provided under any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which Lender may have against a Guarantor or the collateral for the Loan, and (XIII) any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of Borrower relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise.
Section 1.8 No Impairment. The liability of Guarantors hereunder shall in no way be limited, expanded or impaired by, and Guarantors hereby assent to and agree to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents to or with Lender by Borrower or any other Guarantor or any person who succeeds Borrower as owner of the Property. In addition, the liability of Guarantors under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall in no way be limited, expanded or impaired by:
A. any acceleration of the Loan or any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents;
B. any amendment to or modification of any of the Loan Documents;
C. any sale or assignment of the Loan or any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Security Instrument or any sale, transfer or exchange of all or part of the Property;

E. the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of each Guarantor herein or by or on behalf of Borrower, or any affiliate or successor of Borrower in any of the Loan Documents;
F. the release of Borrower, any affiliate or successor of Borrower or of any other person or entity from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of law, Lender’s voluntary act or otherwise;
G. the filing of any bankruptcy or reorganization proceeding by or against Borrower, any affiliate or successor of Borrower or any subsequent owner of the Property;
H. the release or substitution in whole or in part of any collateral or security for the Obligations or the Recourse Obligations;

Section 1.9 Payment of Expenses. In the event that a Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, such Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date requested by Lender until the date of payment to Lender. The covenant contained in this Section 1.9 shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 1.10 Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantors by Lender shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect.

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS
Section 4.1 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of Borrower to Guarantors, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, and whether the obligations of Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantors. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of each Guarantor against Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of such Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. So long as any portion of the Debt or the Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, Guarantors shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Borrower or any other Person any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving a Guarantor as a debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Each Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to a Guarantor, and which, as between Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.
Section 4.3 Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that a Guarantor shall receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, such Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and such Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.
Section 4.4 Liens Subordinate. Each Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Lender, no Guarantor shall (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against Borrower, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or the joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of Borrower held by such Guarantor.

Subject to Sections 9.2 and 9.4 of the Loan Agreement, each Guarantor shall cooperate with Lender in effecting any such Secondary Market Transaction and shall cooperate to implement all requirements imposed by any Rating Agencies involved in any Secondary Market Transaction. Each Guarantor shall provide such information and documents relating to such Guarantor, Borrower, the Property and any tenants of the Property as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction. In addition, each Guarantor shall make available to Lender all information concerning its business and operations that Lender may reasonably request. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan and the Loan Documents or the applicable Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the information provided by Guarantors to Lender including any and all financial statements provided to Lender pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market Transaction and thus various investors or potential investors may also see some or all of the information. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, each Guarantor in the form as provided by such Guarantor. Lender may publicize the existence of the Loan in connection with its marketing for a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business development.

If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest under the Note or any other amount payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

Section 6.16 No Waiver; Time of Essence. The failure of any party hereto to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or to promptly enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof nor give rise to any estoppel against such party nor excuse any of the parties hereto from their respective obligations hereunder. Any waiver of such right or remedy must be in writing and signed by the party to be bound. This Guaranty is subject to enforcement at law or in equity, including actions for damages or specific performance. Time is of the essence hereof.

Lender may at its sole cost and expense, without notice to, or consent of, Guarantors, sell, assign or transfer to or participate with any entity or entities all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, and each such entity or entities shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty and any of the other Loan Documents as fully as Lender, provided that Lender shall continue to have the unimpaired right to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty and any of the other Loan Documents as to so much of the Loan that Lender has not sold, assigned or transferred. Lender shall give notice to Guarantors of the name, address, telephone number and contact person of any assignee of Lender within a reasonable period of time after the effective date of the assignment, provided, that failure to provide such notice shall in no way affect the validity or effect of the assignment or Guarantors’ obligations hereunder.

Section 6.19 California Specific Provisions.
(a) Each Guarantor specifically agrees that such Guarantor shall not be released from liability hereunder by any action taken by Lender including, without limitation, a nonjudicial sale under the Security Instrument that would afford Borrower a defense based on California’s anti-deficiency laws, in general, and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d, in specific. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor expressly understands, acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(i) In the event of a non-judicial foreclosure (through the exercise of the power of sale under the Security Instrument): (A) Borrower would not be liable for any deficiency on the Note under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d, (B) Guarantor’s subrogation rights against the Borrower would thereby be destroyed, (C) Guarantor would be solely liable for any deficiency to Lender (without recourse against Borrower), and (D) Guarantor would thereby be deprived of the anti-deficiency protections of said Section 580d;
(ii) Were it not for Guarantor’s knowing and intentional waivers contained herein, the destruction of Guarantor’s subrogation rights and anti-deficiency protections would afford Guarantor a defense to an action against Guarantor hereunder; and
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor expressly waives any such defense to any action against Guarantor hereunder following a nonjudicial foreclosure sale or in any other circumstance under which Guarantor’s subrogation rights against Borrower have been destroyed.
(b) In the event of any default hereunder, Lender may maintain an action upon this Guaranty whether or not action is brought against Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action. Lender may maintain successive actions for other defaults, and Lender’s rights hereunder shall not be exhausted or waived, and Lender shall not be estopped to proceed against each Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty by the exercise of any of Lender’s rights or remedies or by any such action or by any number of successive actions, until and unless the credit hereby guaranteed has been paid in full and each of Guarantors’ obligations hereunder has been fully performed or otherwise satisfied.
(c) Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all benefits, rights and/or defenses which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899, 2953 and 3433.
(d) Each Guarantor expressly waives any and all benefits, rights and/or defenses which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726. In specific, but not by way of limitation, each Guarantor expressly waives any and all fair value rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a.
(e) Any action, whether judicial or non-judicial or in pursuit of any provisional remedy, taken by Lender against Borrower or against any collateral or security held by Lender
which shall impair or destroy any rights a Guarantor may have against Borrower shall not act as a waiver or an estoppel of Lender’s rights to proceed against and initiate any action against such Guarantor to enforce the terms of this Guaranty.
(f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it has been made aware of the provisions of California Civil Code Section 2856, has read and understands the provisions of that statute, has been advised by its counsel as to the scope, purpose and effect of that statute, and based thereon, and without limiting the foregoing waivers, each Guarantor agrees to waive all suretyship rights and defenses described in Civil Code Sections 2856(a) and (b). Without limiting any other waivers herein, each Guarantor hereby gives the following waiver pursuant to Section 2856(b) of the California Civil Code: Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(g) As provided in California Civil Code Section 2856, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(i) Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower.
(ii) If Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower:
(A) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price at which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the same price.
(B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor may have to collect from Borrower.
The foregoing is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based on Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(h) The benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of the Guarantors hereunder or the enforcement thereof, including, without limitation, any rights arising under Section 359.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;
(i) Each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Costs, and agrees that the Lender shall have no duty to advise the Guarantors of any information known to the Lender regarding any such financial condition or circumstances. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defense which, absent this waiver, such Guarantor would have that its obligations under this Guaranty could be exonerated based upon Lender’s failure to inform such Guarantor of the existing or ongoing financial condition of the Borrower or of any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any amount guaranteed hereunder.
(j) Without limiting the generality of any of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, each Guarantor further expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any and all rights and defenses, including without limitation any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433, or under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections.
Section 6.20 Consent to Waiver by Borrower. Each Guarantor consents to the waiver by Borrower of all of its rights under California Civil Code Section 2822, which provides as follows, “(a) the acceptance, by a creditor, of anything in partial satisfaction of an obligation, reduces the obligation of a surety thereof, in the same measure as that of the principal, but does not otherwise affect it. However, if the surety is liable upon only a portion of an obligation and the principal provides partial satisfaction of the obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to be satisfied; and (b) For the purposes of this Section and Section 2819, an agreement by a creditor to accept from the principal debtor a sum less than the balance owed on the original obligation, without the prior consent of the surety and without any other change to the underlying agreement between the creditor and principal debtor, shall not exonerate the surety for the lesser sum agreed upon by the creditor and principal debtor.”
Section 6.21 Unsecured Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents to the contrary (including without limitation any non-recourse provision under the Loan Documents) the obligations of Guarantors under this Guaranty are unlimited personal obligations of Guarantors which are not secured by the Security Instrument or any other security instrument. In this regard, Lender’s appraisal of the value of the Property is such that Lender is not willing to accept the consequences, under California’s “One Form of Action” Rule (i.e., Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure) and “Anti-Deficiency Rules” (i.e., Sections 580a, 580b and 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure), of inclusion of this Guaranty among the obligations secured by the Security Instrument. Each Guarantor acknowledges that Lender is unwilling to accept such consequences and that Lender would not make the Loan but for the personal unsecured liability undertaken by Guarantors.

(iv) Indemnitors expressly waive any and all benefits, rights and/or defenses which might otherwise be available to Indemnitors under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726. In specific, but not by way of limitation, Indemnitors expressly waive any and all fair value rights under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a.
(v) Any action, whether judicial or non-judicial or in pursuit of any provisional remedy, taken by Lender against Borrower or against any collateral or security held by Lender which shall impair or destroy any rights Indemnitors may have against Borrower shall not act as a waiver or an estoppel of Lender’s rights to proceed against and initiate any action against Indemnitor to enforce the terms of this Agreement.
(vi) Indemnitors expressly waive any defense or benefits arising out of any voluntary or involuntary filing by or on behalf of Borrower for protection under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, or debtor relief laws, including without limitation under Sections 364 or 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.
(vii) Indemnitors acknowledge that they has been made aware of the provisions of California Civil Code Section 2856, have read and understand the provisions of that statute, have been advised by their respective counsel as to the scope, purpose and effect of that statute, and based thereon, and without limiting the foregoing waivers, Indemnitors agree to waive all suretyship rights and defenses described in Civil Code Sections 2856(a) and (b). Without limiting any other waivers herein, Indemnitors hereby give the following waiver pursuant to Section 2856(b) of the California Civil Code: Indemnitors waive all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for an indemnified obligation, has destroyed the Indemnitors’ rights of subrogation
and reimbursement against the Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(viii) As provided in California Civil Code Section 2856, Indemnitors waive all rights and defenses that the Indemnitors may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(A) Lender may collect from Indemnitors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower.
(B) If Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by Borrower:
(1) The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price of which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the same price.
(2) Lender may collect from Indemnitor even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Indemnitor may have to collect from Borrower.
(ix) This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Indemnitors may have because the Borrower’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based on Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(x) Indemnitors waive the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of the Indemnitors hereunder or the enforcement thereof, including, without limitation, any rights arising under Section 359.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure;
(xi) Indemnitors assume the responsibility for keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Costs, and agrees that the Lender shall have no duty to advise the Indemnitors of any information known to the Lender regarding any such financial condition or circumstances. Indemnitors hereby irrevocably waive any defense which, absent this waiver, Indemnitors would have that its obligations under this Agreement could be exonerated based upon Lender’s failure to inform Indemnitors of the existing or ongoing financial condition of the Borrower or of any other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Costs.
(xii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, Indemnitors further expressly waive, to the extent permitted by law, any and all rights and defenses, including without limitation any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution, which might otherwise be available to
Indemnitors under California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433, or any such Sections.
(b) Independent and Unsecured Obligations. Indemnitors acknowledge that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents to the contrary (including without limitation any non-recourse provision under the Loan Documents) the obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement are unlimited personal obligations of Indemnitors which are not secured by the Security Instrument or any other security instrument. In this regard, Lender’s appraisal of the value of the Property is such that Lender is not willing to accept the consequences, under California’s “One Form of Action” Rule (i.e., Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure) and “Anti-Deficiency Rules” (i.e., Sections 580a, 580b and 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure) of inclusion of this Agreement among the obligations secured by the Security Instrument. Indemnitors acknowledge that Lender is unwilling to accept such consequences and that Lender would not make the Loan but for the personal unsecured liability undertaken by Indemnitors.
(c) California Code Sections. Solely to the extent that, and despite the express intent of the Indemnitors and Lender that the laws of the State of New York govern this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the laws of the State of California apply to this Agreement, this Agreement is intended to be cumulative of any rights of Lender under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 564, 726.5 and 736 and under California Civil Code Section 2929.5. Indemnitors hereby waive any restrictions or limitations which such statutes may impose on Indemnitors’ liability or Lender’s rights or remedies under this Agreement.

The parties hereto agree that each of the parties hereto shall have liability with respect to the Obligations (with respect to each party, its “Maximum Obligation”), regardless of any contrary language in the Operating Agreement, the Pinnacle 2 Replacement Guaranty, or any of the other Pinnacle 2 Transaction Documents, as follows:
(i) In the event that HPP at any time incurs Obligations, including enforcement expenditures, under the Xxxxxxxx 0 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx or any of the Pinnacle 2 Transaction Documents that are attributable to any breach of the Original Pinnacle 2 Guaranty or any of the Pinnacle 2 Transaction Documents which, in each case, arises or arose prior to the date of the Pinnacle 2 Loan Assumption and the execution of the Pinnacle 2 Replacement Guaranty, or is a result of the breach by Pinnacle 2 Borrower of any representations or warranties made to Lender prior to, or any real property specific representations and warranties made to Pinnacle 1 Lender concurrently with, the Pinnacle 2 Loan Assumption (collectively, the “Historical Obligations”), then the Sponsor Parties shall be 100% liable for such Obligations;

(A) In the event that either HPP or MDP Development incurs any Going Forward Obligations (including enforcement expenditures) that are attributable solely to the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or gross negligence, or the knowing and willful act or omission, taken (or not taken, as the case may be) with the intent in each case, to cause a breach under any Pinnacle 2 Transaction Documents, of Sponsor, MDP Development or any of their respective Affiliates, then the Sponsor Parties shall be liable for 100% of such Going Forward Obligations;

any of their respective Affiliates, then HPP shall be liable for 100% of such Going Forward Obligations;
(C) In the event that either HPP or MDP Development incur any Going Forward Obligations under the Pinnacle 2 Replacement Guaranty that are not covered by Section 1(a)(ii)(A) or Section 1(a)(ii)(B) above, then HPP and the Sponsor Parties shall be liable for pro rata share of such Going Forward Obligations, based on, respectively, Xxxxxx’x and, collectively, MCP and MDP’s aggregate Percentage Interests as defined in the Operating Agreement and without regard to any application of Section 4.02 of the Operating Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall affect the rights of any party under Article X of the Operating Agreement.

(c) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each party, provided; however, that the sale, assignment or other transfer (each, a “Transfer”), directly or indirectly, of all or any portion of any Interest in the Company shall not result in a release of any party of its liability under this Agreement, except that if any Member makes a Transfer of its entire direct or indirect interest in the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement, then such party shall have no liability under this Agreement with respect to Obligations which arise from events occurring after the date of such Transfer.

2. Remedies. In the event that HPP or the Sponsor Parties fail to reimburse the other as required hereunder within five (5) business days following written demand therefor, the party who is entitled to but does not receive payment (the “Aggrieved Party”) may exercise any right or remedy available to it at law or in equity, including the right to xxx for specific performance hereof, and the Aggrieved Party shall additionally be entitled to interest on the unpaid amount accrued at a rate equal to the lower of twenty percent (20%) per annum and the highest rate permitted by applicable law, and to recover from the other party the Aggrieved Party's out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred before and at trial, at all levels, and whether or not suit is instituted.

(iv) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and notices of every kind, except to the extent expressly provided herein;
(v) any defense based on or arising out of any defense that HPP or Sponsor Party, as applicable, may have to the payment or performance of any obligation set forth in this Agreement; and
(vi) until all obligations under this Agreement have been paid and performed in full, all rights of subrogation and all rights to enforce any remedy that Guarantor may have against HPP or Sponsor Party, as applicable, all regardless of whether Guarantor may have made any payments to Sponsor Party or HPP, as applicable.

The Leasing Override Fee payable with respect to terms beyond ten (10) years shall be reasonably negotiated by the parties, and shall be consistent with Local Leasing Standards.
1.4 Construction Management Fee. For construction projects either approved by Owner, or set forth in Leases approved by Owner, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the JV Agreement (including, without limitation, any applicable Major Decisions):
(a) Five percent (5.0%) of the costs actually incurred, up to $500,000;
(b) Three percent (3.0%) of the costs actually incurred which are in excess of $500,000;
(c) For construction projects, where the applicable tenant pursuant to the terms of the applicable lease manages such construction project by, e.g., directly engaging consultants and/or contractors, a general oversight fee in the amount of (1) three percent (3.0%) of the first $500,000 of the total design and
construction costs of the applicable tenant improvement project, but excluding any tenant FF&E (collectively, “Tenant Improvement Project Costs”), and (2) two percent (2.0%) of Tenant Improvement Project Costs in excess of $500,000
2. Payment. This paragraph 2 sets forth Owner’s and Leasing/Construction Manager’s agreement concerning payment(s) of Leasing Fees and Construction Management Fees, and the terms and conditions thereto.
