commercially reasonable and diligent efforts, consistent with the Standard of
Conduct, to do, accomplish and complete for and on behalf of the Company (for

all consents, approvals and permits required for the development, construction,

Property, the Company, or any Subsidiary, any national or local Board of Fire

management thereof, and when contesting the validity or application of any such

purposes and intent of this Agreement, whereupon the Administrative Member shall

3.3 Disputes Regarding Major Decisions.
(a) If the Administrative Member or the Non-Administrative Member
(the "Proposing Member") notifies the other such Member (the "Receiving Member")
in writing that it is requesting the Receiving Member's approval of a Major
Decision, and, within ten (10) Business Days after such notice is given or
deemed given, (i) the Receiving Member has not approved such Major Decision in
writing (which shall be deemed to include failing to respond at all to the
approval request, failing to communicate a definitive decision in response to an
approval request, affirmatively disapproving of the applicable Major Decision,
or any combination of the foregoing), (ii) the Proposing Member has not
withdrawn such request for
approval, and (iii) the Members shall not have otherwise resolved such Major
Decision in writing, then the Proposing Member may notify the Receiving Member
in writing that a dispute exists with respect to a Major Decision ("Major
Decision Dispute Notice"). If the Proposing Member in good faith believes that
expedited resolution of such Major Decision is necessary for the Company to
avoid or minimize material liabilities or to avoid or minimize a material
adverse effect on its business or assets, the Proposing Member may elect to
designate the Major Decision as an "Expedited Major Decision" in the Major
Decision Dispute Notice. The Proposing Member shall provide to the Receiving
Member such information as is reasonably requested by the Receiving Member in
connection with the evaluation of such Major Decision.
(b) The Major Decision Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable
detail the Major Decision in question and which category(ies) of Major Decision
described in Section 3.2 are involved. In the event a Proposing Member elects to
deliver a Major Decision Dispute Notice, resolution of the dispute will first be
subject to the Executive Negotiation Period prior to invoking any other dispute
resolution procedures set forth hereunder.
(c) In the event a Proposing Member elects to deliver a Major
Decision Dispute Notice, and the Major Decision in question is not (and does not
include) an Extraordinary Decision or a Sale Decision, then following the
expiration of the Executive Negotiation Period, resolution of the dispute with
respect to the Major Decision will be subject to a time period for mediation
prior to invoking any other dispute resolution procedures set forth hereunder,
pursuant to the mediation procedures that are set forth on Exhibit A attached
hereto; provided, however, that if the amount of the dispute involves a monetary
sum of less than $250,000, then such mediation procedures shall not apply, and
either the Proposing Member or the Receiving Member may invoke the binding
arbitration procedures set forth in Exhibit B to resolve such Major Decision
immediately upon the expiration of the Executive Negotiation Period (and for a
period of five (5) Business Days thereafter). In addition, and if applicable,
for a period of five (5) Business Days following expiration of the Executive
Negotiation Period, if the dispute described in this Section 3.3(c) is not
submitted to mediation or is not settled by negotiation or mediation as provided
herein, then either the Proposing Member or the Receiving Member may invoke the
binding arbitration procedures set forth in Exhibit B to resolve such Major
Decision. If neither the Proposing Member nor the Receiving Member invokes the
binding arbitration procedures set forth in Exhibit B within the five (5)
Business Day time period provided for above (after the mediation ends and/or the
Executive Negotiation Period expires, in cases where mediation is not provided
for hereunder), then the original request for approval of a Major Decision which
triggered the Major Decision Dispute Notice shall be deemed withdrawn for all
purposes, and the Company shall not take any action or make any decision with
respect to such Major Decision (i.e., the status quo shall prevail).
(d) In the event a Proposing Member elects to deliver a Major
Decision Dispute Notice, and the Major Decision in question is (or includes) an
Extraordinary Decision, then following the expiration of the Executive
Negotiation Period, if the dispute described in this Section 3.3(d) is not
settled by negotiation or otherwise as provided herein, then the Proposing
Member's request for approval of the applicable Major Decision shall be deemed
withdrawn for all purposes, and the Company shall not take any action or make
any decision with respect to such Major Decision (i.e., the status quo shall
prevail). The Members may, but neither Member shall be obligated to, take such
dispute regarding an Extraordinary Decision to mediation pursuant to the
mediation procedures that are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (and in no
event shall a dispute regarding an Extraordinary Decision be subject to binding
arbitration).
(e) In the event a Proposing Member elects to deliver a Major
Decision Dispute Notice, and the Major Decision in question is (or includes) a
Sale Decision, then (i) if Stabilization has not occurred, then such Major
Decision shall be treated as an Extraordinary Decision subject to Section
3.3(d), (ii) if Stabilization has occurred, but the process described in Section
10.8 has not been fully completed (either through a Sale of the Property or
completion of the Conversion), then the Company shall not take any action or
make any decision with respect to such Major Decision (i.e., the status quo
shall prevail) until the process described in Section 10.8 has been fully
completed, and (iii) if Stabilization has occurred, and the process described in
Section 10.8 has been fully completed, then any disagreement or dispute with
respect to such Sale Decision shall be settled and resolved solely by Investor,
as determined in Investor's sole, but good faith, discretion. The Members may,
but neither Member shall be obligated to, take any dispute regarding a Sale
Decision to mediation pursuant to the mediation procedures that are set forth on
Exhibit A attached hereto (and in no event shall any dispute regarding a Sale
Decision be subject to binding arbitration).
3.4 Acts of the Company and the Members.
(a) Whenever in this Agreement or elsewhere it is provided that a
demand shall be made by, or acts shall be performed by or at the direction of or
any approval shall be obtained from, MRP, all such demands, acts or approvals
are to be made, performed or given by any one (1) of the Persons listed on
Schedule 3.4 attached hereto under the heading "Representatives of MRP" who
shall be fully vested with the authority to act for MRP until such time as MRP
shall deliver written notice to Investor designating one or more replacement or
additional representatives, and Investor shall be entitled to rely upon any
action by any such person as the authorized act of MRP.

listed on Schedule 3.4 attached hereto under the heading "Representatives of
Investor" who shall be fully vested with the authority to act for Investor until
such time as Investor shall deliver written notice to MRP designating one or
more replacement or additional representatives, and MRP shall be entitled to
rely upon any action by any such person as the authorized act of Investor.
3.5 Out-of-Pocket Expenses. Each Member shall bear its own out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by such Member and directly related to the business of the
Company (including without
limitation any overhead or personnel expenses of any such Member), except as
expressly provided in this Agreement. The foregoing notwithstanding, if the
Administrative Member acting in good faith and for a proper Company purpose, and
under circumstances where the Administrative Member has due authority hereunder
to incur or pay such expense or expenditure (either because it already has
received Member approval for such expenditure, or under the express expenditure
authority granted to the Administrative Member under Section 3.2(j), 3.2(m) or
Section 6.4 of this Agreement), advances from its own funds the amount needed to
pay a Company expense, such payment will be considered a short term advance by
the Administrative Member to the Company, and will be reimbursed by the Company
to Administrative Member promptly after a written request for such reimbursement
(including reasonable supporting documentation, if applicable) is provided by
the Administrative Member to the other Member.
3.6 Replacement of MRP as Administrative Member.
(a) If there is a Manager Removal Event at any time when MRP is the
Administrative Member, then subject to Investor's compliance with the
preconditions set forth in Section 3.6(c), upon written notice of removal from
Investor to the Administrative Member, Investor, or any of its Affiliates
specified in such notice of removal, shall become the Administrative Member,

Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx cease to have an active senior management role
with respect to MRP or the Company, or (viii) the Development Agreement
terminates in accordance with its terms, other than as a result of the natural
expiration of the term thereof or due to a default by the Company thereunder
(unless such default is attributable solely to MRP's actions or failures to act
in its capacity as Administrative Member and/or as a Member of the Company).
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement,
upon a Manager Removal Event:
(1) MRP shall not have any voting, approval, consent, information
or other non-economic rights with respect to Major Decisions (except that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, even after a Manager Removal Event, (i) Investor
will be required to continue to conduct itself in accordance with
the Standard of Conduct provided for herein, (ii) MRP will
have the right to approve the Major Decisions described in clauses (a), (b),
(e), (i), and of Section 3.2, and (iii) unless MRP and all MRP Guarantors are

then in effect to the Company and under all guaranties of such loan(s) (as
applicable), either prior to (or as part of) the transaction, decision or
action then under consideration, MRP will also have the right to approve the
Major Decisions described in clauses (f), (q), (r), (jj) and (kk) of Section
3.2, if and to the extent the transaction, decision or action then under
consideration would (A) increase the liability of MRP or the MRP Guarantors for,
or under the documents evidencing, such loan(s) and/or guaranties, (B)
constitute an admission of liability under the documents evidencing such loan(s)
and/or guaranties, (C) constitutes an agreed liquidation of any claim for such
liability, (D) cause a default or otherwise trigger personal liability under any
of the documents evidencing such loan(s) and/or guaranties, or (E) otherwise
materially modify the terms of any loan documents or guaranties in a manner
which directly affects MRP and/or the MRP Guarantors,
(2) any right of MRP to receive Promote Distributions shall
immediately be terminated and forfeited, and any such Promote Distributions
shall thereafter be distributed to the Members (pro rata in proportion to their
Percentage Interests), provided that this clause (2) shall not apply to any
Manager Removal Event described in the clauses (v), (vi), or (vii) of Section
3.6(a), and
(3) the Development Agreement shall be terminable by the Investor
without penalty or fee.
(c) As a condition precedent to removing MRP as the Administrative
Member, Investor shall either (1) cause the lender under any Company Financing
to release the MRP Guarantors from any and all liability arising under all
applicable Guaranties thereunder, for the period commencing from and after the
date of removal of MRP as the Administrative Member, except for, and solely to
the extent, such post-removal liability was caused by the post-removal gross
negligence, misconduct, bad faith or affirmative wrongful acts of MRP or the MRP
Guarantors or pre-removal actions of MRP or the MRP Guarantors, or (2) provide
to the MRP Guarantors an indemnity, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the MRP Guarantors (and from an indemnitor entity reasonably acceptable to
the MRP Guarantors), from and against any and all liability arising under all
applicable Guaranties thereunder, for the period commencing from and after the
date of removal of MRP as the Administrative Member, except for, and solely to
the extent, such post-removal liability was caused by the post-removal gross
negligence, misconduct, bad faith or affirmative wrongful acts of MRP or the MRP
Guarantors or pre-removal actions of MRP or the MRP Guarantors. If Investor or
any other Person designated by Investor agrees (in its sole discretion) to
execute and deliver a substitute guaranty in connection with obtaining a release
pursuant to clause (1) of the preceding sentence, then (A) such Person shall be
protected, indemnified and held harmless by the Company in the same manner as
set forth in Section 5.4 with respect to the MRP Guarantors, mutatis mutandis,
and (B) MRP shall, and shall cause the MRP Guarantors to, jointly and severally
provide to such Person an indemnity, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Investor, against any
liability under the applicable replacement guaranties for events that arise
after the removal of MRP as the Administrative Member, but solely to the
extent such post-removal liability arose due to the post-removal gross
negligence, misconduct, bad faith or affirmative wrongful acts of MRP or the
MRP Guarantors or pre-removal actions of MRP or the MRP Guarantors.
3.7 Standard of Conduct. Without limiting or diminishing any higher
standard of conduct or different standard of conduct expressly provided for in
this Agreement with regard to particular actions, decisions or approvals, each
Member shall discharge such Member's duties as a Member (and, as applicable,
Administrative Member), including in proposing, and in granting or denying
approval to any proposed, Major Decisions (other than Extraordinary Decisions),
in accordance with the following standard ("Standard of Conduct"): in good
faith, in a manner such Member reasonably believes to be in the best interest of
the Company and its Subsidiaries (if any), with the care that an ordinarily
prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances,
with the reasonable belief that such action, decision or approval was within the
scope of its authority under this Agreement, and, with regard to the handling of
Company funds, as a fiduciary with the obligation strictly to account for all
funds received or disbursed. Each Member shall be entitled to rely on
information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and
other financial data, if prepared or presented by: (a) one (1) or more agents or
employees of the Company whom the Member reasonably believes to be reliable and
competent in the matters presented or (b) legal counsel, public accountants or
other Persons as to matters the Member reasonably believes are within the
Person's professional or expert competence. A Member shall not be personally
liable to the Company, any Member or any third party for any action taken, or
any failure to take action, as a Member, including as Administrative Member, for
which the Company indemnifies such Member pursuant to Section 5.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7 or any other
provision in this Agreement, (i) the Standard of Conduct shall not apply, and
each Member may act in its own best interest without consideration of the
interests of the Company or any other Member, in all matters pertaining to
Section 10.8 and/or any Extraordinary Decisions, or any other decision stated in
this Agreement to be subject to the "sole discretion" of a Member,
(ii) the Standard of Conduct shall not be construed to obligate any Member
personally to incur any cost, liability or obligation that is not expressly the
cost, liability or obligation of such Member under this Agreement, and (iii) the
Standard of Conduct shall not apply to a Member with respect to any
action or decision taken or made on the Company's (or Subsidiary's) behalf,
which action or decision has been approved or ratified by all of the Members
after reasonable disclosure of material information known by such Member,
whether or not such action or decision requires the approval of all of the
Members
3.8 Effect of a Withdrawal Event. Upon (i) a Withdrawal Event or (ii) the
conversion of the Interest of MRP to a Post-Withdrawal Interest, then
automatically and without further act the Interest of MRP shall automatically be
converted to a Post-Withdrawal Interest, which shall have all of the following
attributes:
PAGE>
(a) MRP will cease to serve as Administrative Member hereunder and
Investor may designate itself or another Person to serve as Administrative
Member;
(b) MRP will cease to have the right to approve Major Decisions,
other than the Major Decisions referenced in clause (ii) (and, to the extent
applicable, clause (iii)) of Section 3.6(b)(1), above;
(c) Notwithstanding the forfeiture of MRP's voting and/or approval
rights, Investor will be required to continue to conduct itself in accordance
with the Standard of Conduct provided for herein; and
(d) Any right of MRP to receive Promote Distributions shall
immediately terminate, and any such Promote Distributions shall thereafter be
distributed to the Members (pro rata in proportion to their Percentage
Interests); and
(e) Investor shall have the right to terminate the Development
Agreement.
ARTICLE 4
VERTICAL CONSTRUCTION
4.1 Actions prior to Vertical Construction. During the Development Period,
MRP, as Administrative Member, shall use commercially reasonable and diligent
efforts to cause the Company and/or Development Manager (pursuant to the
Development Agreement) to take the actions described in Sections 4.2 through 4.9
so that the Company is in a position to commence and perform V ertical
Construction of the Project by the Vertical Target Date.
4.2 Design Documents.
(a) MRP (either directly and/or through Development Manager) shall
oversee preparation by the Architect (and any other applicable Design
Professionals) of design development documents and construction documents for
the Improvements ("Design Documents") within the time frames provided for under
the Preliminary Development Schedule and in all events by the Vertical Target
Date. The Design Documents shall be sufficient for the Company to apply for
sitework-related Development Approvals, for the Construction Contractor to
perform all required sitework in accordance therewith, and for the Company to
apply for building permits, enter into the Construction Contract without
material allowances (unless the Members elect to do so in their discretion), and
provide all required construction details for the construction of the
Improvements. The Design Documents shall be consistent with the Approved PUD and
all applicable Legal Requirements, and shall further be subject to the written
approval of MRP and Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. MRP may elect, from time to time, to engage in an
informal process of providing drawings, design details and/or specifications to
Investor on an interim basis, in order to obtain Investor input or approval
before having the applicable design professional incorporate the same
into a formal submission of the Design Documents to Investor for approval.
Investor agrees to cooperate in responding expeditiously to such informal
requests for approval, where practicable without extraordinary expense or
burden.
(b) Within seven (7) Business Days after its receipt of the Design
Documents and/or any drawing, component, or element thereof (or modifications
thereto), accompanied by a formal written request for approval from MRP (an
"Approval Request"), the recipient Member(s) shall communicate its written
approval or disapproval thereof to the other Member(s) (such written
communication, an "Approval Response"). Failure of Investor to deliver a written
disapproval within such seven (7) Business Day period shall be deemed to
constitute Investor's approval of the applicable Approval Request, in its
entirety.
(c) MRP and Investor will confer with regard to each objection
raised, discuss and evaluate the alternatives for addressing such objections,
and cooperate in a mutual, good faith effort to achieve mutual, final approval
of the Design Documents, as applicable, on as expeditious a basis as the parties
can reasonably achieve under the circumstances (and, to the extent practicable,
within a time frame shorter than the maximum time periods allowed hereunder).
4.3 Development Approvals and Building Permits. Upon final approval of the
Design Documents by MRP and Investor, MRP (either directly and/or through
Development Manager) shall cause the Design Documents, to be submitted to the
appropriate Governmental Authorities for review, approval and further
processing, with the objective of securing all required Development Approvals
and building permits within the time frames provided for under the Preliminary
Development Schedule. MRP and Development Manager will provide Investor with
copies of any and all submissions, resubmissions and other correspondence or
written communications by the Company or Development Manager with, and any
written materials, comments, proposed changes, approval letters and/or other
written communications received from, Governmental Authorities in the review and
processing of the Design Documents and any other materials submitted by the
Company or Development Manager in connection with the Company's application for
issuance of the Development Approvals and/or building permits. Other than de
minimis modifications, all modifications to the Design Documents and/or other
submissions made by the Company or Development Manager to Governmental
Authorities required or requested by D.C. Governmental Authorities in their
review of in connection with seeking the Development Approvals and/or building
permits, will be subject to the mutual review and approval of MRP and Investor,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
4.4 Construction Financing.
(a) During the Development Period, and within the time frames
contemplated under the Preliminary Development Schedule, MRP shall use good
faith and commercially reasonable efforts to seek, on behalf of the Company,
nonrecourse construction financing in the Target Financing Amount, or such other
amount as Investor and MRP may mutually agree (the
"Construction Financing"). The terms and conditions of any Construction
Financing and all documents to be executed and delivered in connection with any
Construction Financing shall be subject to the prior written approval of both
MRP and Investor, which, except as provided in Section 4.4(b), shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b) If, in connection with the Construction Financing, the
Construction Lender requires that a Guaranty be delivered as a condition
precedent thereto, MRP shall cause the MRP Guarantors to provide any such
Guaranties, provided that the form and substance of each such Guaranty shall be
consistent with generally prevailing market requirements or otherwise approved
by MRP and the MRP Guarantors, in their sole discretion. In no event (i) shall
the MRP Guarantors be required to provide a payment or repayment guaranty, or
any guaranty other than the Guaranties described above in connection with the
Construction Financing, or (ii) shall Investor or any Affiliate of Investor be
required to provide any Guaranty, or payment or repayment guaranty, in
connection with any Construction Financing.
4.5 Construction Contract.
(a) After completion of the Design Documents, and otherwise at a time
consistent with the requirements of the applicable sections of the Preliminary
Development Schedule, but in all events prior to the Vertical Target Date, MRP
(either directly and/or through Development Manager) shall use good faith and
commercially reasonable efforts to procure a guaranteed maximum price
construction contract for construction of the Improvements in accordance with
the Design Documents (as awarded, and as finally negotiated between the parties
thereto, the "Construction Contract," whether one or more).
(b) The contractor(s), the process for selection of the
contractor(s), and the terms of the Construction Contract shall be subject to
the prior written approval of Investor, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. In general, such process may include the
pre-selection of a mutually approved general contractor, with a requirement that
competitive bidding take place at the subcontractor level, or the selection of a
mutually approved general contractor based on competitive bidding that takes
place at the prime contractor level, as mutually approved by MRP and Investor.
(c) The parties acknowledge that Development Manager is responsible
for managing the procurement process for the selection of the contractor, and
the preparation and negotiation of the Construction Contract with such
contractor (with the assistance of the Company's legal counsel), provided such
selection and negotiation shall in all events be subject to the mutual approval
of MRP and Investor (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or d elayed). As more fully provided for in the Development
Agreement, Development Manager shall ensure that the Construction Contract is
consistent with the Final Development Budget and Final Development Schedule,
unless otherwise expressly approved by MRP and Investor (which approval may
encompass the Company's agreement in the Construction Contract to the inclusion
of material allowance items as to which the Company
knowingly accepts a risk of price fluctuation for particular materials or items
which are subject to such allowance).
(d) In connection with seeking Investor approval of the Construction
Contract, the selection of the general contractor, and/or the pricing, schedule
and other financial and legal terms applicable thereto, MRP agrees to provide
Investor with a formal written request for approval, accompanied by a true,
correct and complete copy of the Construction Contract or other item as to which
Investor's approval is being sought. If Investor wishes to disapprove of, or to
express objections to, the contractor which MRP is recommending be selected, or
to the pricing or other terms of any Construction Contract or other related
document, or to any other aspect thereof, Investor shall provide a written
notice to MRP stating such disapproval within seven (7) Business Days after its
receipt of MRP's request for approval. Failure of Investor to deliver a written
disapproval within such seven (7) Business Days after its receipt thereof shall
be deemed to constitute Investor's approval of such written request for approval
by MRP, in its entirety.
4.6 Final Development Budget.
(a) Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a budget setting forth MRP's good
faith estimate of all Total Project Costs to be incurred in connection with the
entitlement, design, development, Vertical Construction, and completion of the
Improvements, as previously approved by Investor (the "Preliminary Development
Budget"). From time to time, but at least monthly, MRP (either directly, or
through Development Manager) shall prepare and submit to Investor for its
approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)
updates to the Preliminary Development Budget, which shall include updates to
the estimated Development Costs of the Project as of such time (if any). Each
update to the Preliminary Development Budget shall be in a format consistent
with the previous Preliminary Development Budget and reasonably satisfactory to
MRP and Investor, and shall reflect all anticipated Development Costs for the
Project.
(b) MRP, in conjunction with Investor, will continue to update the
Preliminary Development Budget in accordance with Section 4.6(a) until the
commencement of Vertical Construction. The final updated Preliminary Development
Budget approved (in accordance with Section 4.6(a)) as of satisfaction of the
Vertical Construction Contingencies described in Section 4.10(a)(4), will be
deemed the "Final Development Budget" for all purposes hereof. Once adopted, the
Final Development Budget may be amended only as expressly provided in accordance
with Section 6.4.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement
and/or the Development Agreement (including Section 6.4(c) and Section 6.4(d)),
neither MRP nor Development Manager will be authorized to make any expenditure
that is not provided for in the then approved Preliminary Development Budget.
The Development Agreement will require Development Manager to (i) update the
Company and Investor on the status of the Company's compliance with each
applicable approved Preliminary Development Budget, including the Final
Development Budget, (ii) track all budgeted items, and (iii) provide to Owner a
written analysis of actual vs. budgeted costs as part of a monthly progress
report required during prior to Stabilization.
(d) MRP shall keep complete and accurate books and records relating
to the Development Costs, and such books and records shall be open and available
to Investor for inspection, copying and audit during normal business hours,
provided Investor gives not less than two (2) Business Days prior notice to MRP
of the time and date upon which Investor proposes to perform such inspection
and/or audit. In addition, until Stabilization, MRP shall provide to Investor,
on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, a report showing (on a
reasonably itemized basis) all Development Costs which have been paid by MRP or
any MRP Affiliate (and credited as part of MRP's Capital Contribution to the
Company), or by the Company, through the end of the preceding month.
4.7 Final Development Schedule.
(a) Attached hereto as Exhibit E, is a preliminary development
schedule for the development and construction of the Project (the "Preliminary
Development Schedule"). From time to time during the Development Period, but at
least monthly, MRP (either directly or through Development Manager) shall
prepare and submit to Investor for its review and approval (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) updates to the Preliminary
Development Schedule, which shall show in detail MRP's most recent good faith
estimate for the timing of those items on the Preliminary Development Schedule.
The form and degree of detail of each update to the Preliminary Development
Schedule shall be subject to the mutual approval of MRP and Investor, and shall
include the various activities that MRP and/or Development Manager expect to be
undertaken in connection with the Project, the parties responsible for such
activities, the approximate timing of the commencement and completion of such
activities, and the interrelationship of such activities.
(b) MRP and Development Manager, in conjunction with Investor, will
continue to update the Preliminary Development Schedule in accordance with
Section 4.7(a) until commencement of Vertical Construction. The final updated
Preliminary Development Schedule approved as of satisfaction of the Vertical
Construction Contingency described in Section 4.10(a)(5) shall be deemed the
"Final Development Schedule." Any additional amendments or modifications to the
Final Development Schedule shall be subject to the prior written approval of MRP
and Investor (not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
4.8 Completion of Equity.
(a) From time to time during the Development Period, Investor and
MRP, each acting reasonably and in good faith, shall, upon the request of either
Investor or MRP, mutually determine the amount of the total Capital
Contributions that will be required in connection with the Project that are in
excess of the Initial Capital Contributions otherwise
required to be advanced by Investor and MRP pursuant to Section 7.1(a)-(c)
("Projected Additional Capital Contributions").
(b) At any time prior to the satisfaction of all of the Vertical
Construction Contingencies, Investor and MRP shall each have the right to elect
to provide all or a portion of the Projected Additional Capital Contributions
pursuant to Section 7.1(d), utilizing the process described in this Section 4.8
in each instance in which new or additional Projected Additional Capital
Contributions would be required in order to pay all costs provided for under the
then approved Preliminary Development Budget. Upon making a determination that
Projected Additional Capital Contributions are required, and determining the
total amount anticipated to be required, either MRP or Investor will have the
right to send a notice (a "Projected Capital Funding Notice") to all of the
Members identifying the need for Projected Additional Capital Contributions,
specifying the aggregate amount thereof and the basis or reasons why such
Projected Additional Capital Contributions are anticipated to be required, and
requesting that the Members each indicate whether it will agree to provide some
or all of the Projected Additional Capital Contributions requested in such
Projected Capital Funding Notice (and if it will, specifying the exact amount
that such Member will agree to contribute). Within seven (7) Business Days after
its receipt of such Projected Capital Funding Notice, Investor and MRP shall
each deliver a written notice to each other and to the Development Manager
indicating whether it will elect to make any Projected Additional Capital
Contributions, and if so, stating the amount of Projected Additional Capital
Contributions that such Member is agreeing to provide. The failure of either
Investor or MRP to deliver such notice shall be deemed its election not to make
any such Projected Additional Capital Contribution. If either Investor or MRP
(as applicable, an "Electing Member"), or both, elect to provide all or a
portion of the Projected Additional Capital Contributions, then the amount each
such Electing Member shall be obligated to contribute shall be as follows:
(1) If the aggregate amount of the Projected Additional Capital
Contributions proposed to be contributed from the Electing Member (or Electing
Members, if applicable), collectively, is less than or equal to the total amount
of the Projected Additional Capital Contributions requested under the applicable
Projected Capital Funding Notice, then each such Electing Member shall
contribute its elected amount of the Projected Additional Contributions as a
Mandatory Capital Contribution;
(2) If the aggregate amount of the Projected Additional Capital
Contributions proposed to be contributed from the Electing Members,
collectively, is greater than the total amount of the Projected Additional
Capital Contributions requested under the applicable Projected Capital Funding
Notice, then (i) first, each Electing Member shall contribute, as a Mandatory
Capital Contribution, the maximum amount it has agreed to provide up to the
amount necessary so as to maintain the same relative Percentage Interests
between Investor and MRP as existed immediately prior to such Projected Capital
Funding Notice, and (ii) second, if the aggregate amount contributed by both
Electing Members pursuant to subclause (i) is less than the aggregate amount of
the Projected Additional Capital Contributions, then the
Electing Member who has agreed to contribute more than its relative percentage
interest of the total Projected Additional Capital Contributions under subclause
(i) shall contribute, as a Mandatory Capital Contribution, the remaining amount
of Projected Additional Capital Contributions.
(c) The Members acknowledge and agree that (i) as of the Effective
Date neither Investor nor MRP has made any commitment, agreement or undertaking
to make any Projected Additional Capital Contribution, (ii) Investor and MRP
shall each be obligated to make Projected Additional Capital Contributions only
if and to the extent it expressly elects to make such Projected Additional
Capital Contributions by written notice given pursuant to Section 4.8(b), and
(iii) the election (or deemed election) by Investor and/or MRP pursuant to
Section 4.8(b) not to make any Projected Additional Capital Contributions shall
not constitute a default under this Agreement.
(d) Unless Investor and MRP, collectively, elect to provide 100% (or
more) of the Projected Additional Capital Contributions requested in a Projected
Capital Funding Notice pursuant to the process described in Section 4.8(b), then
Investor and MRP, each acting reasonably and in good faith, shall endeavor to
identify an investor (a "Funding Investor") that is mutually acceptable to them,
and that is willing to provide the Projected Additional Capital Contributions
that Investor and MRP are unwilling or unable to provide (either through an
equity investment in the Company, or through a mezzanine loan, provided the same
is permitted under the terms of the Company's Construction Financing). After
mutually approving the identity of a Funding Investor, MRP and Investor will (1)
cooperate with one another to negotiate the terms of an equity investment or
mezzanine loan with such Funding Investor (including any amendments to this
Agreement that are required in connection therewith), (2) use commercially
reasonable efforts to achieve the most advantageous terms and conditions for
such equity investment or mezzanine loan under then applicable market
conditions, and (3) provided all of the other Vertical Construction
Contingencies have been satisfied or waived by MRP and Investor, admit such
Funding Investor to the Company (or a Subsidiary) as a Member under the approved
terms of such equity investment, or, if applicable, consummate a mezzanine loan
with Funding Investor under the approved terms for such mezzanine loan,
concurrently with the Company's closing under the Construction Loan. The final
terms of any equity investment or mezzanine loan under this Section 4.8(d) will
be subject to the mutual approval of Investor and MRP, which approval will not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If this Section 4.8(d) is
applicable, then consummating closing on the admission of the Funding Investor
to the Company (or a Subsidiary), or consummating closing on a mezzanine loan
with the Funding Investor, as applicable, shall constitute an additional
Vertical Construction Contingency hereunder.
4.9 Other Development Activities.
(a) During the Development Period, MRP (either directly, and/or
through Development Manager) shall cause to be undertaken by the appropriate
parties, such as the Design Professional, construction contractors, service
contractors or other Persons, all other
activities which are reasonably required to prepare the Property for
commencement of Vertical Construction within thirty (30) days after the
Members approve such commencement of Vertical Construction (or commencement of
Vertical Construction is otherwise authorized pursuant to this Article 4). All
such matters shall be subject to the prior written approval of Investor, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
4.10 Vertical Construction Contingencies.
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the "Vertical Construction
Contingencies" shall be:
(1) Approval, in accordance with Section 4.2, of the Design
Documents necessary to commence Vertical Construction;
(2) Issuance (or the immediate availability of) all Development
Approvals and building permits necessary to commence Vertical Construction;
(3) Approval, in accordance with Section 4.5, of the Construction
Contract, and the willingness of the construction contractor thereunder to
execute and deliver the same;
(4) Approval, in accordance with Section 4.6, of the Final
Development Budget;
(5) Approval, in accordance with Section 4.7, of the Final
Development Schedule;
(6) Approval, in accordance with Section 4.4, of all loan
documentation for the Construction Financing, and the willingness of the Lender
thereunder to execute and deliver the same;
(7) Consummation of the Land Contribution by Investor to Company
pursuant to Section 7.6; and
(8) The commitment of Investor, MRP and/or a Funding Investor (if
applicable) to provide all of the Projected Additional Equity Contribution
required pursuant to Section 4.8.
(b) Upon the determination by either MRP or Investor that the
Vertical Construction Contingencies have been satisfied, MRP or Investor, as
applicable, may notify the other Member in writing of the same ("Vertical
Contingencies Notice"). Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Vertical
Contingencies Notice, the receiving Member shall notify the sending Member
whether it concurs with the determination that the Vertical Construction
Contingencies have been satisfied (and the failure of the receiving Member to
send such notice shall be deemed its concurrence). If the Members disagree on
whether the Vertical Construction
Contingencies have been satisfied, the dispute shall be settled by binding
arbitration pursuant to Exhibit B and Section 4.14. If the Members determine
that the Vertical Construction Contingencies have been satisfied, either through
agreement or arbitration, then the provisions of Sections 4.11 shall apply.
(c) If the Vertical Construction Contingencies are not satisfied by
the Vertical Target Date (as the same may be extended from time to time pursuant
to this Agreement), either by agreement or by arbitration, and such failure is
not the result of a default by MRP in its obligations under this Agreement, then
Investor shall elect, at its option, either (i) to extend the Vertical Target
Date for a period of three (3) months, or (ii) to convert the Interest of MRP
from that of Administrative Member and Member of the Company to the holder of a
Post-Withdrawal Interest, as more fully provided for in Section 3.8. Investor
shall notify MRP in writing of such election within fifteen (15) days after the
Vertical Target Date, and any failure of Investor to provide such notice shall
be deemed its election pursuant to the foregoing clause (i). If Investor makes
the election described in the foregoing clause (ii), then MRP may elect, at its
option, to initiate the Put of its Interest to Investor pursuant to Section
4.12. MRP shall notify Investor in writing of such election within fifteen (15)
days after MRP's receipt of Investor election pursuant to the foregoing clause
(ii).
(d) If the Vertical Construction Contingencies are not satisfied by
the Vertical Target Date (as the same may be extended from time to time pursuant
to this Agreement), as determined either by agreement or by arbitration, and
such failure is the result of a default by MRP in its obligations under this
Agreement, then the same shall constitute a Manager Removal Event within the
meaning of this Agreement and FRP shall have the right to exercise all rights
and remedies available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity.
(e) If the Vertical Construction Contingencies are not satisfied by
the Vertical Target Date (as the same may be extended from time to time pursuant
to this Agreement), as determined either by agreement or by arbitration, and
such failure is the result of a default by Investor in its obligations under
this Agreement, then MRP shall have the right to exercise all rights and
remedies available under this Agreement, or at law or in equity.
4.11 Satisfaction of Vertical Construction Contingencies; Notice to
Proceed. If the Vertical Construction Contingencies are satisfied by the
Vertical Target Date (as determined either by agreement or arbitration), then
within fifteen (15) days after the Members have determined (either by agreement
or by arbitration) that the Vertical Construction Contingencies have been
satisfied ("Vertical Decision Period"), each Member may notify the other in
writing ("Notice to Proceed") that it approves commencement of Vertical
Construction. If both Members issue a Notice to Proceed, then MRP (either
directly and/or through Development Manager) shall promptly proceed with
Vertical Construction. If both Members do not issue a Notice to Proceed, then
the following shall apply
(a) If neither Investor nor MRP issues a Notice to Proceed , then the
Vertical Target Date shall automatically extend for a period of three (3)
months.
(b) If only MRP issues a Notice to Proceed, then within fifteen (15)
days after expiration of the Vertical Decision Period, MRP may elect, by written
notice to Investor, either (i) to initiate the Put of its Interest to Investor
pursuant to Section 4.12 , or (ii) to extend the Vertical Target Date for a
period of three (3) months. If MRP does not notify Investor of its election,
then it shall be deemed to have elected to extend the Vertical Target Date for a
period of three (3) months.
(c) If only Investor issues a Notice to Proceed, then within fifteen
(15) days after expiration of the Vertical Decision Period, Investor may elect,
by written notice to MRP, (i) to initiate the Call of MRP's interest pursuant to
Section 4.12, (ii) to convert the Interest of MRP from that of Administrative
Member and Member of the Company to the holder of a Post-Withdrawal Interest, as
more fully provided for in Section 3.8, or (iii) to extend the Vertical Target
Date for a period of three (3) months. If Investor does not notify MRP of its
election, then it shall be deemed to have elected to extend the Vertical Target
Date for a period of three (3) months.
4.12 Put/Call. MRP shall have the right to require Investor to purchase
MRP's Interest ("Put") and Investor shall have the right to require MRP to sell
MRP's Interest ("Call") pursuant to this Section 4.12. This Section 4.12 shall
only apply where this Agreement expressly provides that MRP has the right to
exercise the Put or Investor has the right to exercise the Call.
(a) If MRP or Investor (as applicable, "Initiating Member") provides
notice ("Put/Call Notice") to the other pursuant to Section 4.10 or 4.11 that it
is exercising the Put or Call, then within fifteen (15) days after the date of
the Put/Call Notice the Initiating Member shall notify the other Member
("Non-Initiating Member") in writing ("Valuation Notice") of its good faith
determination of the gross fair market value of the Property ("Total Asset
Value"). If the Non-Initiating Member does not agree with the Total Asset Value
set forth in the Valuation Notice, and the Members are unable to informally
reach agreement on the Total Asset Value within fifteen (15) days after the
Non-Initiating Member's receipt of the Valuation Notice, then the Non-Initiating
Member may invoke the valuation procedures set forth in Exhibit C, in which
event the Total Asset Value shall be determined pursuant to Exhibit C. If the
Non-Initiating Member does not invoke the valuation procedures set forth in
Exhibit C by written notice to the Initiating Member delivered prior to the
expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, then the Total Asset Value shall be
as set forth in the Valuation Notice. The purchase price ("Put/Call Price") to
be paid by Investor to MRP at the Put/Call Closing shall be that amount that MRP
would receive if such assets were sold for the Total Asset Value, the Company
liquidated pursuant to Section 11.3, and the proceeds of such liquidation were
distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 9.1, hereof, except that
MRP shall not receive Promote Distributions and Promote Distributions shall be
instead be distributed to the Members in proportion to their Percentage
Interests.
(b) Closing on the Put or Call ("Put/Call Closing") shall occur on
such date as Investor shall designate by not less than five (5) days prior
written notice to MRP, but in no event later than ninety (90) day after the date
on which the Total Asset Value shall have been determined pursuant to Section
4.12(a). At the Put/Call Closing:
(1) Investor shall pay to MRP the Put/Call Price by wire transfer
of immediately available funds.
(2) Simultaneously with the receipt of the Put-Call Price, MRP
shall execute and deliver all documents as may be reasonably necessary or
appropriate to effect (a) the Sale of its Interest to Investor (or its
designees) free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and (b) the withdrawal
of MRP as a Member of the Company.
(3) MRP shall pay all closing costs incurred in connection with
the Sale of its Interest that are customarily paid by a seller of real property
in the jurisdiction in Washington, D.C., and Investor shall pay all closing
costs incurred in connection with the purchase of such Interest that are
customarily paid by the purchaser of real property in Washington, D.C. MRP and
Investor shall each pay the fees and expenses of their own legal counsel.
(4) If MRP defaults in the performance of its obligations under
this Section 4.12, Investor may exercise such rights and remedies as may be
available at law or in equity, including specific performance. If Investor
defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Section 4.12, MRP may
exercise such rights and remedies as may be available at law or in equity,
including specific performance.
4.13 Limitations. Subject to the ultimate responsibility of the Design
Professionals and, to the extent applicable, any contractors performing
construction of the Improvements, for compliance of the Design Documents (and
the Improvements constructed pursuant thereto) with ADA and other applicable
laws, rules and regulations (including site plan requirements or height
variances, if any, with respect to the height of buildings constructed as part
of the Project) (the foregoing "Construction Compliance Requirements"), MRP
shall use reasonable efforts to cause Development Manager, in its review and
development of the Design Documents with the Design Professionals, and in
monitoring the performance of construction work by general contractor, to
identify (and, if and when identified, to inform the Company and Investor of)
any observed inconsistencies or non-conformities between the Improvements, as
designed and/or constructed, and any Construction Compliance Requirements
applicable thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, and although MRP (either
directly or through Development Manager) shall continue to be responsible (a)
for overseeing the Design Professionals in the preparation, submission and
processing of the Design Documents (including the responsibility to review and
comment upon plans and/or drawings prepared by the Design Professionals, and to
coordinate any Member approvals associated therewith, prior to the Design
Documents being submitted or resubmitted to Governmental Authorities), and (b)
for using diligent efforts to adhere to the Preliminary Development Schedule and
Preliminary Development Budget in connection with all of its Development Period
supervisory obligations hereunder, Investor acknowledges and/or agrees:
(a) that (1) neither MRP nor Development Manager is a licensed civil
engineer or licensed architect, (2) neither MRP nor Development Manager is
responsible for performing any design services, (3) neither MRP nor Development
Manager will have control or
charge of (or be responsible for) construction or construction means, methods,
techniques, sequences or procedures, and (4) subject to MRP's compliance with
the Standard of Care and Development Manager's compliance with its duties and
responsibilities, and the standards applicable to the performance of its
development services, under the Development Agreement, MRP and Development
Manager are not warranting to Investor or the Company that the Design Documents
comply (or will comply) with applicable Legal Requirements, be free from errors
or omissions by the Design Professionals, or otherwise be sufficient for their
intended purposes, and neither MRP nor Development Manager will be responsible
for the failure of the any Design Professional, Traffic Consultant,
Environmental Consultant, construction contractor or other contractor,
subcontractor or consultant of the Company to carry out its or their respective
duties and obligations in accordance with its or their respective contracts (and
Investor and the Company will look solely to the Design Professionals, and such
contractors and consultants, for any claims arising out of any errors or
omissions, or other professional liability, in the preparation of the Design
Documents, traffic studies, environmental assessments and remediation services,
and to the Construction Contractor(s) for any claims for breach of the
Construction Contract(s) or for warranty claims arising out of defects in labor
or materials associated with the construction of the Improvements); and
(b) that (1) the process of seeking and obtaining approval of the
Design Documents is subject to unforeseeable events, variables and other sources
of potential delay (beyond so-called "normal processing periods") which are
beyond the reasonable control of a developer, and may be unrelated to any fault
on the part of MRP, Development Manager, the Design Professionals or any of the
Company's other contractors and consultants, (2) that the dates provided for in
the Preliminary Development Schedule constitute a projection or estimate, based
on MRP's and Development Manager's best professional judgment, of the likely
time periods for achieving various Development Period milestones (and while the
Preliminary Development Schedule will be used to measure timely performance of
certain activities described therein, subject to the terms, limitations and any
adjustments or automatic extensions that are applicable thereto, the Preliminary
Development Schedule does not constitute a final Development Schedule, and will
be subject to modification and adjustment as provided for herein), and (3) as
long as MRP and Development Manager continue to use commercially reasonable and
diligent efforts to cause the Project (and all of the constituent components
thereof) to adhere to the Preliminary Development Schedule (as modified and/or
adjusted pursuant hereto), the failure to achieve milestone dates set forth
therein shall not constitute or be construed as a breach or default by MRP of
its obligations hereunder, or by Development Manager of its obligations under
the Development Agreement; and
(c) without in any manner obviating MRP's duties and responsibilities
during the Development Period under this Article 4, MRP is not guaranteeing (1)
the availability of financing, (2) the availability of, or the cost that will be
required in order to obtain final approval of, all final entitlements and
approvals for the Project, and/or (3) subject to Section 5.8(b), the ultimate
cost of completing the Project.
(d) None of the foregoing provisions will be construed to supersede
any provisions of this Agreement which address the responsibilities of MRP
and/or Investor, if any, with respect to Cost Overruns.
4.14 Disputes. Any disputes between the Members with respect to any matter
under this Article 4 shall be settled by binding arbitration pursuant to Exhibit
B in the same manner as Expedited Major Decisions; provided that this Section
4.14 shall not apply to matters deemed approved or deemed disapproved under the
terms of this Article 4.
ARTICLE 5

co-owner, or on a fee for services basis, for or with respect to any real estate
of which the principal use is (or planned to be) multifamily rental in the

other Person from acquiring, leasing or managing a multifamily rental building
in which at least ninety percent (90%) of the individual units have previously
been leased to, or occupied by, third party tenants.
(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.1(a), from the Effective Date until the
earlier of Stabilization or March 1, 2016, neither Investor nor any Investor

reasonable reliance on advice of legal counsel to the Company or (iv) the
negligence, dishonesty or bad faith of any agent, consultant or broker of the

authority. Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall affect the liability of any
Affiliate of a Member in its performance of services for the Company, which will
be governed by the express terms of the Affiliate Contract with such Affiliated
agent, consultant or broker;
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, in any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, each Member shall be fully
protected and indemnified and held harmless by the Company against all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs of
investigation, fines, judgments and amounts paid in settlement actually incurred
by such Member in connection with such action, suit or proceeding) by virtue of
its status as Member or with respect to any action or omission taken or suffered
in good faith, other than liabilities and losses resulting from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Member or its Affiliate or the material
breach or contravention of this Agreement or an Affiliate Contract by such
Member or its Affiliate (taking into account any applicable cure period provided
for herein). The indemnification provided by this Section 5.2(b) shall be
recoverable only out of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall have any
personal liability (or obligation to contribute capital to the Company) on
account thereof; and
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Member shall defend
and indemnify the Company and the other Members against, and shall hold it and
them harmless from, any damage, loss, liability, or expense, including

damages of any kind), as and when incurred by the Company or the other Members
in connection with or resulting from such indemnifying Member's (or its
Affiliate's) gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith or a material
breach of this Agreement.
5.3 Compensation of Members and Their Affiliates.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 5.3(b), no Member, nor any of
their respective Affiliates, shall be entitled to compensation from the Company
in connection with any matter that may be undertaken in connection with the
fulfillment of its duties and responsibilities hereunder.
(b) The Members and/or their Affiliates shall be entitled to the
following compensation:

(2) If approved by the Members as a Major Decision,
Administrative Member or its Affiliate may serve as the property manager for the
Property at market rates of compensation.
(3) During any time in which Administrative Member or its
Affiliate is not serving as property manager for the Property, the Company shall
pay Administrative Member an asset management fee in the amount of 0.25% of the
gross operating revenues actually received by the Company in respect of the
operation of the Property (with such gross operating revenues to be as defined
in the property management agreement for the Property).
5.4 Company Financing and Guaranties.
(a) It is the intention of the Members (i) to seek Construction
Financing in the Target Financing Amount in accordance with Section 4.4(a), (ii)
to seek a permanent loan in an amount approved by the Members which is
approximately 70% of the fair market value of the Project after Stabilization,
(iii) to refinance such permanent loan, and any refinancing thereof, from time
to time as necessary or appropriate, and (iv) to provide in the Loan Documents
for all Company Financings that the Lender recognize all rights of the Members
to Transfer their Interests as and to the extent provided for under this
Agreement. Any such Company Financing shall be obtained from one or more
unrelated third parties, including banks, financial institutions, CMBS lending
sources, and other sources of commercial financing, on market terms and
conditions (including market-based loan-to-value/loan-to-budget ratio
requirements, term to maturity, amortization periods and applicable interest
rates, fees and other expenses payable thereunder). The terms and conditions of
any Company Financing and all documents to be executed and delivered in
connection with any Company Financing shall be subject to the prior written
approval of both MRP and Investor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
(b) The MRP Guarantors shall provide any Guaranties required by the
lender in connection with any Company Financing, provided that the form and
substance of each such Guaranty shall be consistent with generally prevailing
market requirements or otherwise
approved by MRP and the MRP Guarantors, in their sole discretion. In no
event (i) shall the MRP Guarantors be required to provide a payment or
repayment guaranty, or any
guaranty other than the Guaranties described above in connection with the
Company Financing, or (ii) shall Investor or any Affiliate of Investor be
required to provide any Guaranty, or payment or repayment guaranty, in
connection with any Company Financing.
(c) If any MRP Guarantor or other guarantor of Company Financing
executes a Guaranty (including, to the extent applicable, and at their
discretion, a payment or repayment guaranty), then both Members, and all such
Guarantors, will, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of such
Guaranties, enter into a Guaranty Cost Sharing Agreement in the form attached as
Exhibit F, hereto, which provides for certain contribution and indemnification
rights and obligations with respect to any liabilities which might arise in
favor of the Lender under any of the Guaranties (the "Guaranty Cost Sharing
Agreement"). The terms of the Guaranty Cost Sharing Agreement, which are
incorporated herein by this reference, shall govern all rights of contribution
and indemnity between and among the Members, the MRP Guarantors and the Company
arising in connection with the Guaranties, and any amounts paid or payable
pursuant thereto or in defending the enforcement thereof.
5.5 Dealing with Members.
(a) Subject to any approval requirements associated therewith under
Section 3.2, and any provisions of this Agreement concerning the enforcement of
Affiliate Contracts against Member Affiliates, the fact that a Member, Member
Affiliate, or any officer, director, employee, partner, member, manager,
consultant or agent of a Member or Member Affiliate, is directly or indirectly
interested in or connected with any Person employed by the Company to render or
perform a service, or from or to whom the Company may buy or sell any property
or have other business dealings, shall not prohibit the Company from employing
such Person or from dealing with him or it to procure necessary services that
would otherwise be required from third party providers, on customary, arm's
length equivalent terms and at competitive rates of compensation, and neither
the Company nor any of the other Members shall have any right in or to any
income or profits derived therefrom by reason of this Agreement. If the
non-affiliated Member approves any business dealing between the Company or a
Subsidiary and a Member or Member Affiliate, such business dealing shall be
conclusively deemed to meet the standard of the preceding sentence.
(b) The Development Agreement shall be terminable by the
Non-Administrative Member, on behalf of the Company, without any penalty or fee,
upon (a) the Sale of the Property, (b) any material breach or default on the
part of Development Manager under the Development Agreement that is not cured
after written notice from the Company or Investor and the expiration of the
applicable cure periods set forth therein, and (c) following a Withdrawal Event
or Manager Removal Event. The Non-Administrative Member shall have the right to
exercise all rights and remedies of the Company under the Development Agreement
with respect to any breach or default on the part of Development Manager
thereunder.
5.6 Use of Company Property. No Member shall make use of the funds or
property of the Company, or assign its rights to specific Company property,
other than for the business or benefit of the Company.
5.7 Designation of Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member shall act as
the "tax matters partner" of the Company within the meaning of Section
6231(a)(7) of the Code and in any similar capacity under applicable state or
local tax law. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Tax Matters
Member while acting in such capacity shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company.
5.8 Provisions Relating to Cost Overruns.
(a) Funding. The Members anticipate that through advances made under
the Construction Financing, and the Mandatory Capital Contributions required
hereunder, there will be sufficient funds to pay all Total Project Costs. To
this end, the Members agree that they shall, to the fullest extent permitted
under the Construction Loan Documents, but subject to Section 5.8(b), seek
approval by the Construction Lender to apply amounts in the Construction
Financing's contingency line item, plus any cost savings realized under other
line items within the approved budget under such Construction Financing (the
"Loan Budget"), to pay Cost Overruns or other Development Costs. Nevertheless,
if at any time or from time to time after all Mandatory Capital Contributions
have been fully funded hereunder, the Company requires additional funds to pay
Development Costs, then subject to Section 5.8(b), either Member will have the
right to cause the Company to issue a Capital Call for Additional Capital
Contributions to the Members pursuant to Section 7.2.
(b) Exception. Notwithstanding Section 5.8(a) to the contrary, in the
event that there are Cost Overruns attributable to the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of MRP, Development Manager or another MRP Affiliate, then
MRP shall advance the amount required to pay such Cost Overrun (in which event
the amount so advanced will not be credited as an Additional Capital
Contribution by MRP to the Company).
(c) Additional Provisions. In any instance in which the Members
approve a change order, a Budget amendment which involves an increase in scope
or other Budget increase that requires funding in excess of what it is available
under the Loan, or a contract or lease which involves expenditures in excess of
those provided for in the Final Development Budget or, if applicable, other
applicable Budget hereunder, then (i) such increase in Development Costs or
other costs and expenses shall not constitute a Cost Overrun within the meaning
of this Agreement (and instead, a modification to the applicable Budget will
automatically be deemed to have taken effect upon such approval having been
given), and (ii) such approval by the Members shall be deemed to constitute a
covenant by each Member to contribute an Additional Capital Contribution
pursuant to Section 7.2 to pay its share of such increase.
ARTICLE 6
BOOKS AND RECORDS; ANNUAL REPORTS
6.1 Books of Account. At all times during the continuance of the Company,
the Administrative Member shall keep or cause to be kept true and complete books

the Company and any Subsidiary. Such books shall be kept on the basis of the
Fiscal Year in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as
adopted by Investor's parent company and as to which Administrative Member is
given reasonable advance notice.
6.2 Availability of Books and Records. All of the books of account
referred to in Section 6.1, together with an executed copy of this Agreement and
the Certificate, and any amendments thereto, and all other books and records of
the Company shall be open to the inspection, examination and copying by any
Members or their representatives during normal business hours. 6.3 Financial
Reports.
(a) For each Fiscal Year, the Administrative Member shall send to
each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year, within ninety
(90) days after the end of such Fiscal Year, annual financial statements of the
Company including a balance sheet as of the end of such Fiscal Year and
statements of profit and loss, changes in financial position, and distributions
to the Members for that Fiscal Year, all as prepared in accordance with income
tax principles, and a statement showing allocations to the Members of taxable
income, gains, losses, deductions and credits; and at the option of Investor,
such annual financial statements shall be audited at the Company's expense by
the Company's independent public accountants, which shall be Xxxxxxx & Xxxxx
LLP, or such other accounting firm as may be approved by Investor (provided
that, if Investor requests such audit, then the 90-day period provided for above
shall automatically be extended as necessary for the auditing firm to complete
the audit, provided MRP delivers an unaudited annual financial statement and
backup for the audit to the auditing firm within the original 90-day period).
(b) For each month, the Administrative Member shall send to each
Person who was a Member at any time during such month, within thirty (30) days
after the end of such month, monthly financial statements of the Company,
including a balance sheet as of the end of the month, and statements of profit
and loss, changes in financial position, and distributions to the Members for
that month, all prepared in accordance with an accounting method approved by
Investor.
(c) For each Fiscal Year, the Administrative Member shall send to
each Person who was a Member at any time during such Fiscal Year a completed IRS
Schedule K-1, as soon as practicable and in any event not later than sixty (60)
days after the end of such Fiscal Year, with time being of the essence with
respect thereto.
(d) From time to time upon request of any Member, the Administrative
Member shall provide to such Member such other, existing information concerning
the Company in Administrative Member's possession, custody or control, as may
reasonably be requested by any Member, including such information as is
necessary for the preparation of each Member's federal, state and local income
or other tax returns.
(e) For each month from the Effective Date until Stabilization, the
Administrative Member shall send to each Person who was a Member during such
month on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, a report showing all
Development Costs which have been paid by MRP or any MRP Affiliate (and credited
as part of MRP's Capital Contribution to the Company), or by the Company,
through the end of the preceding month.
6.4 Budgets.
(a) Section 4.6 shall govern the obligations and responsibilities of
MRP and Investor with respect to a budget for the Property prior to commencement
of Vertical Construction and the approval of the Final Development Budget in
connection therewith.
(b) On or before the date that is six (6) months prior to the
projected date for substantial completion of the Improvements, and on or before
October 15 of each year thereafter, the Administrative Member shall prepare and
submit for the next calendar year (or for the remainder of the calendar year
following substantial completion in the case of the first year) in a form
reasonably acceptable to the Non-Administrative Member, a budget for the Project
setting forth (i) proposed operating and capital expenditures to be made in such
year with respect to the Project, (ii) the estimated receipts, expenditures,
escrow deposits and Reserves for each year on a monthly basis, showing the
expected sources of funds and (iii) the estimated Distributable Cash
attributable to such year and the respective estimated amounts thereof that are
expected to be distributed to the Members pursuant to Section 9.1. The Members
shall use their good faith efforts to reach agreement on the final form of the
budget no later than 60 days after the submission of the proposed budget to the
Members by the Administrative Member, and upon such approval by the Members,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, such
budget shall be the "Operating Budget" for the Company with respect to the
Project for the period covered thereby unless expressly amended in accordance
with the terms of this Section 6.4. Until such time as an Operating Budget shall
be approved by the Members for a particular year, the most recent Operating
Budget or the Final Development Budget, as applicable, (prorated, if needed, to
reflect a full calendar year) shall serve as the Operating Budget for such
calendar year provided that (i) any nonrecurring expenditure in such prior
Operating Budget or the Final Development Budget, as applicable, shall be
excluded, and (ii) non-controllable expenses (such as taxes, insurance premiums,
utility consumption charges, and the like) shall be deemed included in the
amounts actually expended for the applicable period. From time to time, the
Administrative Member shall propose an update to the then current Operating
Budget or the Final Development Budget, as applicable, at any time when the
Administrative Member becomes aware of any facts or circumstances that make the
Operating Budget or the Final Development Budget, as applicable, incorrect,
incomplete or outdated, and if and when the Members unanimously approve any
revision to the Operating Budget or the Final Development Budget, as applicable,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, then
such approved revised development budget shall become the "Operating Budget" or
the Final Development Budget, as applicable, for purposes of this Agreement.
Upon adopting any Operating Budget or the Final Development Budget, as
applicable, the Administrative Member will use commercially reasonable and
diligent efforts to cause the Company to operate within the limits of that
Operating Budget or the Final Development Budget, as applicable (but subject, in
all events, to the provisions of Section 3.2(j) and Section 6.4(d)).
(c) Administrative Member shall (i) use commercially reasonable
efforts to avoid causing the actual costs of operation and management of the
Project to exceed the applicable approved Operating Budget (or the Final
Development Budget, as applicable) either in total or in any one accounting
category, and (ii) subject to the exceptions to pre-approval stated in the
proviso within Section 3.2(j), secure the prior written approval of the other
Member before causing the Company to expend, obligating the Company for or
approving any Company expenditure in connection with the operation and
management of the Project that would result in a line item or category in the
Operating Budget (or the Final Development Budget, as applicable) being exceeded
by the greater of (i) $10,000, or (ii) five percent (5%) of such line item or
category.
(d) Administrative Member shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to avoid causing Development Costs to exceed the Total Project Costs provided
for in the Final Development Budget (either in total or in any line item of the
Final Development Budget), and shall secure the prior written approval of the
other Member before causing the Company to expend, obligating the Company for or
approving any Company expenditure in connection with Vertical Construction that
would result in (i) a line item or category in the Final Development Budget
being exceeded by: (A) $10,000 in any one instance, and (B) the greater of (1)
$25,000 or (2) five percent (5%) of such line item or
category, in the aggregate, or (ii) such expenditure or proposed expenditure,
together with all other expenditures or reasonably anticipated proposed
expenditures which have not otherwise been Approved, in the aggregate,
exceeding the aggregate applicable to the Final Development Budget by more
than $250,000. In connection therewith, Administrative Member shall have the
right, subject to Investor approval (not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed) (i) to transfer realized cost savings achieved in any
one line item of the Final Development Budget to any other line item as long
as the line item where the savings have been achieved has been closed out,
(ii) to transfer amounts available from the contingency line item in the Final
Development Budget to another line item in the Final Development Budget having
excess costs, and (iii) to implement other line item reallocations within the
Final Development Budget in order to avoid Cost Overruns. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4(d), if any provision of the loan
documents evidencing any Company Financing (including the Construction
Financing) is more restrictive than the foregoing provisions, the provisions
contained in the allocable loan documents shall govern.
(e) In connection with any capital improvements (but not capital
repairs or replacements, which will be accounted for in the Company's annual
Operating Budget) to be made as part of the Project, whether as part of a
general renovation program, a future development opportunity within the Project,
the expansion of any existing building or improvement, any major leasehold
construction and/or any other capital improvement project, in each case
involving a total cost in excess of $50,000.00, the Administrative Member shall
prepare a proposed capital budget for the same (with the level of detail being
commensurate with the scope and estimated cost of the Project, and the degree of
budgeting information actually available to the Administrative Member at the
time such budget is being prepared and submitted, to be updated and refined as
more accurate information becomes available) (a "Capital Budget"), and shall
submit such Capital Budget to Investor for approval (which will not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Once approved, such Capital
Budget will be an approved Budget within the meaning of this Agreement (and
Administrative Member will be authorized, subject to any other Major Decision
requirements applicable to the specific capital improvements, lease or other
transaction(s) giving rise to the preparation of such Capital Budget, to incur
and pay the costs provided for in such Capital Budget).
6.5 Accounting Expenses. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenses payable to
Persons who are not Members, Member Affiliates and/or employees of Members or
Member Affiliates, in connection with the keeping of the books and records of
the Company and the preparation of audited or unaudited financial statements and
federal and local tax and information returns required to implement the
provisions of this Agreement, or required by any Governmental Authority with
jurisdiction over the Company, shall be borne by the Company as an ordinary
expense of its business (and paid by the Company to the applicable Person(s)
within a reasonable time period after written demand or request).
6.6 Company Bank Accounts. The Administrative Member shall arrange to
maintain the Company's cash deposits in one or more segregated accounts held for
the Company's business, which accounts, to the extent reasonably practicable,
shall be interest bearing, and which accounts shall only be at such bank or
other depositary institution as may be approved by the Non-Administrative Member
in advance. If required by the Non-Administrative Member, each bank account
maintained on behalf of the Company shall require that a representative of
Investor has signature authority.
ARTICLE 7
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
7.1 Initial Capital Contributions. The Members confirm that on the
Effective Date, the Members have made the following contributions to the Company
(collectively, "Initial Capital Contributions", which term shall include any
other capital contributions which are deemed to constitute Initial Capital
Contributions under the express provisions of this Agreement):
(a) Investor has contributed and/or been credited with the
contribution of (i) equitable title to the Land (subject to an obligation to
contribute, by conveyance, legal and equitable fee simple title to the Company
by Contribution Deed pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.6 (a), below, with
a deemed and agreed gross fair market value, and initial Book Value as of the
Effective Date, of $13,486,500.00 ("Contributed Land"), plus (ii) the sum of
$0.00, representing Development Costs advanced prior to the Effective Date by
Investor for the benefit of the Company (which amount has been mutually approved
by the Members) plus (iii) the amount of $4,665.27, representing proration
amounts credited to Investor under the Contribution Agreement, plus (iv)
$3,096.04, representing the amount credited to Investor under Section 2.2(c) of
the Contribution Agreement. In no event will Investor receive any additional
credit for a Capital Contribution in respect of the Contributed Land due to the
subsequent conveyance of legal and equitable fee simple title to the Contributed
Land by such Contribution Deed.
(b) MRP has contributed and/or been credited with the contribution of
(i) an amount equal to $866,372.19, representing Development Costs advanced
prior to the Effective Date by MRP (which amount has been mutually approved by
the Members), plus (ii) the amount of $0.00, representing proration amounts
credited to MRP under the Contribution Agreement, plus (iii) the amount of
$384,912.70, representing the amount MRP contributed on behalf of the Company to
pay amounts due in connection with the closing under the Contribution Agreement.
(c) In addition to the Initial Capital Contributions credited to
Investor and MRP pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b), but as part of the
obligation to make an Initial Capital Contribution to the Company, MRP shall
advance 100% of the sums required to pay Development Costs, operating expenses,
capital expenditures, debt service payments, or any other additional cash needs
associated with the Project that are encompassed within a Budget, or are
otherwise required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement, until such time as
the aggregate amount of Initial Capital Contributions credited to MRP equals
$4,000,000.00. Such advances shall be treated as part of MRP's Initial Capital
Contribution hereunder as and when made.
(d) In addition to the Initial Capital Contributions credited to
Investor and MRP pursuant to Sections 7.1(a) and 7.1(b), but as part of the
obligation to make an Initial Capital Contribution to the Company, after MRP
shall have made its Initial Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 7.1(c), if
Investor and/or MRP shall have elected pursuant to Section 4.8(b) to advance any
Projected Additional Capital Contributions, Investor and/or MRP, as applicable,
shall advance in accordance with Section 4.8(b) 100% of the sums required to pay
Development Costs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, debt service
payments, or any other additional cash needs associated with the Project that
are encompassed within a Budget, or are otherwise required or permitted pursuant
to this Agreement, until such time as the aggregate amount of Initial Capital
Contributions credited to Investor and/or MRP pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)
equals the Projected Additional Capital Contributions which Investor and/or MRP
has committed to advance pursuant to Section 4.8(b). Such advances shall be
treated as part of the Initial Capital Contribution of Investor or MRP hereunder
as and when made. In the case of advances by Investor, such amounts shall be
advanced by Investor to the Company in accordance with the
notice and time periods provided in Section 7.2, mutatis mutandis. For
clarity, neither Investor nor MRP shall have any obligation to contribute
Projected Additional Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)
unless and to the extent it shall have elected in writing in accordance with
Section 4.8(b) to contribute
the same.
(e) The amounts required to be contributed on an ongoing basis by MRP
pursuant to Section 7.1(c) and by Investor and/or MRP pursuant to Section 7.1(d)
shall constitute "Mandatory Capital Contributions". In addition to any other
express remedy provided for herein, both the Company and the other Member shall
have the right to bring a legal action against MRP or Investor, as applicable
(the "Defaulting Member") to recover the unfunded amount of any Mandatory
Capital Contributions, plus interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, and costs
of collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs. If the
unfunded amount of a Mandatory Capital Contribution was previously funded by the
other Member as a Special Capital Contribution or Priority Loan pursuant to
Section 7.3, then any net amount recovered by the Company or the other Member in
a direct legal action against the Defaulting Member (after reimbursement of
costs of collection and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the Company of
other Member in such action) shall be paid over to Member(s) which provided such
Special Capital Contribution or Priority Loan on behalf of the Defaulting
Member, in full or partial satisfaction thereof (as applicable).
7.2 Additional Capital Contributions. Subject to the limitations of this
Section 7.2, after MRP and Investor shall have advanced all of its Mandatory
Capital Contributions, at such times as the Company requires additional cash to
pay Development Costs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, debt service
payments, or any other additional cash needs associated with the Project that
are encompassed within a Budget, or are otherwise required or permitted pursuant
to this Agreement, either Member may notify the other Member in writing of the
amount of the additional funds so required and the date (not earlier than ten
(10) Business Days following the date of such notice, unless the amount in
question is being requested on a more expedited basis in order to pay amounts
needed to avoid defaulting under a Company Financing, Loan Document, Lease or
other contractual obligation, or in order for the Company to come into
compliance with, or cure the Company's violation of, any Legal Requirements, or
otherwise to avoid the imminent potential of damage or injury to persons or
property, referred to hereafter as an "Emergency Capital Call", in which event
such ten (10) Business Day period will be reduced to five (5) Business Days ) on
which such funds are due and payable to the Company (each such notice pursuant
to this Section 7.2, a "Capital Call"). On or before the date set forth in a
Capital Call, each Member shall advance to the Company its proportionate share
(based on its Percentage Interest) of the additional funds so required, as a
Capital Contribution (each, an "Additional Capital Contribution"). Any Member
may deliver its Capital Contribution in escrow or via a similar method so that
the Company will receive such Capital Contribution only if the other Member
fully funds its corresponding required Capital Contribution.
7.3 Failure to Fund Mandatory Capital and Additional Capital.
(a) If any Member shall fail timely to make a Mandatory Capital
Contribution
or an Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 7.1(c),
Section 7.1(d) or Section 7.2 (any such Member is hereinafter referred to as a
"Non-Funding Member"), then in addition to the remedy provided for in Section
7.1(e), if applicable, the Administrative Member (or at its option, the
Non-Administrative Member) shall immediately give notice of such failure to all
other Members, including the amount not funded by the Non-Funding Member (such
amount is hereinafter referred to as the "Failed Funding"). Within ten (10)
Business Days (or five (5) Business Days, for an Emergency Capital Call) after
receiving notice of such failure, the Member that is not in default with respect
to such Capital Call ("Funding Member") may, in its sole and absolute
discretion, (i) require the Company to repay all or part of the Funding Member's
corresponding Additional Capital Contribution that was made in accordance with
Section 7.2 (together with a return thereon calculated at the Applicable Rate),
or (ii) advance to the Company an amount equal to all, but not less than all, of
such Failed Funding. If the Funding Member fails, within such ten (10) (or, if
applicable, five (5)) Business Day period, to advance to the Company an amount
equal to the Failed Funding, then it shall be deemed to have elected to proceed
under clause (i) of the preceding sentence. If the Funding Member elects to
proceed under such clause (i) and if, for any reason, the Funding Member's
corresponding Additional Capital Contribution is not returned on the due date as
set forth in the applicable Capital Call (unless the failure to return such
Additional Capital Contribution was due to the Funding Member's failure as
Administrative Member, or as sole Member with check-signing authority, to cause
the Company to make such payment in a timely manner), then such corresponding
Additional Capital Contribution shall be treated as a loan from the Funding
Member to the Company, made on such due date, and earning interest at the
Applicable Rate until paid in full, and the amount of such Additional Capital
Contribution, including interest, shall be fully repaid prior to (i) any
distributions to Members by the Company or (ii) and fees being paid to Members
or their Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.3. The "Applicable Rate" means
twenty-five percent (25%) per annum, compounded monthly, but not more than the
maximum amount allowable under applicable law.
(b) If any Funding Member timely proceeds under clause (ii) of
Section 7.3(a), then the sum of the Funding Member's corresponding Additional
Capital Contribution (if applicable) and the amount of the Failed Funding, in
the aggregate, shall, at the option of the Funding Member, be treated as either
(i) a loan from the Funding Member to the Company ("Priority Loan"), which shall
be repaid, with interest thereon, as described in Section 7.3(c), or (ii) a
"Special Capital Contribution", which shall be treated as described in Section
7.3(d).
(c) Priority Loans shall bear interest from time to time at a rate
per annum equal to twenty-five percent (25%) per annum, compounded monthly, but
not more than the maximum amount allowable under applicable law. Accrued
interest on all Priority Loans shall be paid monthly from Distributable Cash
(pro rata in proportion to the amount of interest accrued if there is more than
one Member with Priority Loans) prior to the any distribution of Distributable
Cash to the Members pursuant to Section 9.1 or Section 11.3(c). If after the
payment of such interest there remains any Distributable Cash, then the
principal on all Priority Loans shall be paid monthly from the remaining
Distributable Cash (pro rata in proportion to the
amount of interest accrued if there is more than one Member with Priority
Loans) prior to the any distribution to the Members pursuant to Section 9.1 or
Section 11.3(c).
(d) If a Funding Member elects to treat the funding as a Special
Capital Contribution, then effective on the date of such Special Capital
Contribution (which shall be the date of the Funding Member's written notice of
election to the Non-Funding Member pursuant to Section 7.3(b)), and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
(1) the Percentage Interest of the Funding Member shall be
increased (but not above 100%) in accordance with the following dilution
formula:
FMPI = (FMCC + (FMSCC*2.0)) / FMCC + FMSCC + NFMCC
where:
FMPI is the Funding Member's Percentage Interest after such date;
FMCC is the total Capital Contributions (in cash or agreed Book Value)
that have been made on or before such date by the Funding Member
pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 (but excluding Special Capital
Contributions);
FMSCC is the total Special Capital Contributions that have been made on
or before such date by the Funding Member; and
NFMCC is the total Capital Contributions (in cash or agreed Book Value)
that have been made on or before such date by the Non-Funding Member
pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2 (but excluding Special Capital
Contributions);
(2) the Percentage Interest of the Non-Funding Member shall be
reduced to equal 100% minus the Percentage Interest of the Funding Member.
7.4 Capital of the Company. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in
this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw or receive any interest
or other return on, or return of, all or any part of its Capital Contribution,
or to receive any Company property (other than cash) in return for its Capital
Contribution. No Member shall be entitled to make a Capital Contribution to the
Company except as expressly authorized by this Agreement.
7.5 Limited Liability of Members. All debts and obligations of the Company
shall be paid or discharged solely with the assets of the Company and none of
the Members shall be obligated to pay or discharge such debts or obligations
except to the extent required by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, no
Member shall be liable for the return of the Capital Contribution of any other
Member.
7.6 Conveyance of Fee Simple Title. The Members have agreed to defer the
transfer of fee simple title to the Land by Investor to the Company in order to
provide maximum
flexibility and efficiency to make a future change in the capitalization of
the Company in a manner that minimizes transfer and recordation taxes to the
extent reasonably possible. Investor shall transfer fee simple title to the
Land to the Company, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, upon the earliest
to occur of the following ("Fee Transfer Date"): (i) the date that is ten (10)
business days after written notice from either Investor or MRP to the other
directing such party to transfer the Land to the Company pursuant to this
Section 7.6, (ii) the date that Company consummates the closing of Construction
Financing, or (iii) the date upon which commencement of Vertical Construction
occurs.
(a) On the Fee Transfer Date, Investor shall execute and deliver to
the Company (i) a deed in the form attached as Exhibit D to the Contribution
Agreement, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions ("Contribution Deed"), (ii)
a title affidavit and gap indemnity, in customary form reasonably satisfactory
to the Title Company and FRP, with respect to mechanics' liens, parties in
possession and unrecorded instruments, (iii) written evidence of termination of
the Ground Lease (if requested by Title Company or MRP), and (iv) such evidence
of power and authority of Investor as may be reasonably required by the Title
Company. In addition, unless the same has been recorded by Investor or its
affiliates prior to the Fee Transfer Date, Investor shall cause the REA to be
recorded prior to recordation of the Contribution Deed.
(b) The Company shall pay all title insurance premiums and related
costs and all District of Columbia transfer and recordation taxes and fees
applicable to the recording of the Contribution Deed.
(c) The Members agree that the normal and customary costs of
ownership of the Land were prorated as of the Effective Date so no such costs
will be prorated as of the Fee Transfer Date.
(d) The Members agree that the value of the Land was reflected in
Investor's Capital Account and Initial Capital Contribution on the Effective
Date, so Investor's Capital Account and Capital Contributions shall not be
further adjusted on the Fee Transfer Date as a result of the transfer of the
Land to the Company. In addition, if Investor fails to consummate (or to cause
FRP to consummate) the Land Contribution on the Fee Transfer Date in accordance
with the requirements of this Section 7.6, then MRP shall be entitled to all
rights and remedies at law or in equity, including the right to specific
performance of FRP's obligation to consummate the Land Contribution (or to cause
the Company to invoke against FRP a right to specific performance of FRP's
obligation to consummate the Land Contribution), and to recover actual damages,
losses, costs and expenses (including its reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs) incurred, suffered or sustained by MRP and/or the Company as a result of
such failure by FRP and/or Investor (provided that the amount of damages,
losses, costs and expenses paid or payable to MRP or the Company by Investor or
FRP under this Section 7.6(d) will not be treated as a Capital Contribution to
the Company by Investor under this Agreement). Notwithstanding, the foregoing
provisions to the contrary, if Investor permanently fails to consummate (or to
cause FRP to consummate) the Land Contribution on or after the Fee Transfer Date
as required under
this Section 7.6, and specific performance is either unavailable, or ceases
to be practicable as a remedy because title to the Land has been impaired,
then the amount of Capital Contributions credited to Investor under
Section 7.1(a), above, will be reduced by the gross value of the Contributed
Land provided for under Section 7.1(a)(i), above, retroactive to the date such
Capital Contribution was first credited to Investor (including for purposes of
calculating any Preferred Return accruing in favor of Investor under this
Agreement, and in calculating distributions to be made in respect of capital
contributions made by the Members to the Company).
(e) The Members agree to operate the Land in the ordinary course, and
in accordance with all Legal Requirements, during the period between the
Effective Date and the Fee Transfer Date, subject to any decisions with respect
thereto that are made in accordance with the governance provisions of this
Agreement. Except to the extent of any liens or title exceptions arising due to
the acts or omissions of MRP or the Company during such period, Investor shall
be responsible for ensuring that the only title matters applicable to the Land
at Closing will be the Permitted Exceptions, and that no new title matters or
title exceptions will be recorded against (or encumber) the Land unless the same
have been approved by the Members as a Major Decision hereunder (and Investor
shall cause all such non-Permitted Exceptions to be satisfied, released and/or
removed of record and in fact prior to the Fee Transfer Date, at Investor's sole
expense), provided that if any non-Permitted Exceptions arise after the
Effective Date and prior to the Fee Transfer Date due to the acts or omissions
of MRP or the Company during such period, then MRP or the Company (as
applicable) shall be responsible for causing all such non-Permitted Exceptions
to be satisfied, released and/or removed of record and in fact prior to the Fee
Transfer Date, at MRP's or the Company's (as applicable) sole expense.
(f) Without limiting any other rights or remedies provided for under
this Agreement for Investor's failure to consummate the Land Contribution in
accordance with this Section 7.6, Investor and MRP hereby agree that Investor's
obligation to cause the Land Contribution to be consummated as and when required
under this Section 7.6 shall be enforceable by either MRP or the Company through
an action for specific performance of such obligation.
ARTICLE 8
CAPITAL ACCOUNTS, PROFITS
AND LOSSES AND ALLOCATIONS
8.1 Capital Accounts.
(a) The Company shall maintain a Capital Account for each Member in
accordance with federal income tax accounting principles. Each Member's Capital
Account shall be credited as of the Effective Date with an amount equal to its
Initial Capital Contribution(s) (in cash or agreed Book Value) pursuant to
Section 7.1(a) and (b).
(b) The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) the
amount of any cash and the agreed Book Value, as determined by the Members, of
any property (net of liabilities encumbering such property) as of the date of
contribution contributed as a Capital Contribution to the capital of the Company
by such Member after the Effective Date and (ii) the amount of any income, gain
and Profit allocated to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. The Capital
Account of each Member shall be decreased by (i) the amount of any Loss and
items of loss or deduction allocated to such Member and (ii) the amount of
distributions to such Member. In all respects, the Member's Capital Accounts
shall be determined in accordance with the detailed capital accounting rules set
forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and shall be adjusted
upon the occurrence of certain events as provided in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f).
(c) Immediately after the Initial Capital Contributions pursuant to
Section 7.1(a) and (b) on the Effective Date, the Members' Capital Accounts will
be in the ratio of 8.49% for MRP and 91.51% for Investor.
(d) A transferee of all (or a portion) of an Interest shall succeed
to the Capital Account (or portion of the Capital Account) attributable to the
transferred Interest.
(e) If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account at any
time, including upon liquidation of the Company, such Member shall have no
obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect
to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the
Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.
8.2 Profits and Losses.
(a) As used in this Agreement, "Profit" and "Loss" shall mean, for
each Fiscal Year or other period, an amount equal to the Company's taxable
income or loss for such Fiscal Year or period, determined in accordance with
Section 703(a) of the Code (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss or
deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the
Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following
adjustments:
(1) Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income
tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Profit or Loss shall be
added to such taxable income or loss;
(2) Any expenditure of the Company described in Section
705(a)(2)(B) of the Code or treated as a Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure
pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) and not otherwise
taken into account in computing Profit or Loss shall be subtracted from such
taxable income or loss;
(3) In the event the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted
pursuant to the definition of Book Value in Article 1, the amount of such
adjustment shall
be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for
purposes of computing Profit or Loss for the Fiscal Year in which such
adjustment occurs;
(4) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of property with
respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes
shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of the property disposed of,
notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its
Book Value;
(5) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost
recovery deductions taken into account in computing federal taxable income or
loss, there shall be taken into account Depreciation for such Fiscal Year or
other period; and
(6) Notwithstanding any other provision, any items which are
specially allocated pursuant to Section 8.2(e) hereof shall not be taken into
account in computing Profit or Loss. Nevertheless, such items shall be taken
into account in adjusting Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 8.1 hereof.
(b) Pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.1245-1(e), to the
extent the Company recognizes gain as a result of a sale, exchange or other
disposition of Company assets which is taxable as ordinary income under Code
Section 1245 or Code Section 1250, such ordinary income shall be allocated among
the Members in the same proportion as the depreciation giving rise to such
ordinary income was allocable among the Members. In no event, however, shall any
Member be allocated ordinary income hereunder in excess of the amount of gain
allocated to the Member under this Agreement. Any ordinary income that is not
allocated to a Member due to the gain limitation described in the previous
sentence shall be allocated among those Members whose shares of total gain on
the sale, exchange or other disposition of the property exceed their share of
depreciation from the Company assets, in proportion to their relative shares of
the total allocable gain.
(c) If any Member transfers all or any part of its Interest during
any Fiscal Year or its Interest is increased or decreased, items of income,
gain, loss, deduction, Profit and Loss attributable to such Interest for such
Fiscal Year shall be apportioned between the transferor and transferee or
computed as to such Members, as the case may be, using any equitable method
selected by the Administrative Member and approved by all Members that is
permissible under the Code and applicable regulations thereunder.
(d) For each Fiscal Year of the Company, after adjusting each
Member's Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions during
such Fiscal Year and all special allocations pursuant to Section 8.2(e) with
respect to such Fiscal Year, all Profit and Loss shall be allocated to the
Members' Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end of such Fiscal
Year, the Capital Account of each Member (which may be either a positive or
negative balance) shall equal, as nearly as possible, (a) the amount that would
be distributed to such Member in a Hypothetical
Liquidation at the end of the last day of such Fiscal Year, minus (b) the sum of
(i) such Member's share of Partnership Minimum Gain (as determined according to
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and (g)(3)) and Partner Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)) and (ii) the amount, if any, such Member is obligated to contribute
to the capital of the Company as of the last day of such Fiscal Year, provided,
however, that no Loss may be allocated to a Member to the extent such an
allocation would result in an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit for such Member.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:
(i) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse deductions (as defined in
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for each Fiscal Year shall be
allocated to the Members in the ratio of their Percentage Interests;
(ii) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain or in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during a
Company Fiscal Year, the Members shall be allocated items of Company income and
gain in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and
1.704-2(i)(4);
(iii) Limitation on Loss Allocations and Qualified Income Offset.
A Member shall not be allocated items of loss or deduction to the extent such an
allocation would cause or increase a deficit Capital Account balance for such
Member as of the close of any taxable year in excess of the amount of such
balance the Member is obligated or deemed obligated to restore pursuant to
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), 1.704-2(g)(1) or
1.704-2(i)(5). In determining the Capital Account balance of a Member for this
purpose, adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) shall be taken into
account. Any items of loss and deduction not
allocated to a Member under this Section 7.2(e)(iii) shall be allocated
first, to the remaining Members with positive Capital Account balances (as
adjusted in accordance with the preceding sentence and after adding back
each Member's share of company minimum gain and partner nonrecourse debt
minimum gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5)), in proportion to, and to the extent
of, such positive Capital Account balances and thereafter, as provided in
applicable Treasury Regulations. If a Member unexpectedly receives an
adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which results in a negative Capital Account
balance in excess of any deficit balance which the Member is obligated or deemed
obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), 1.704-2(g)(1) or 1.704-2(i)(5), items of Company income
and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income,
including gross income, and gain) shall be allocated to such Member in an amount
and manner sufficient to eliminate such excess deficit balance as quickly as
possible. This Section 8.2(e)(iii) is intended to comply with the qualified
income offset requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)
and shall be interpreted and applied consistently therewith;
(iv) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any partner nonrecourse
deductions (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) for
each Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the
economic risk of loss with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt (as
defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such partner
nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i); and
(v) Curative Allocations.
(1) Regulatory Curative Allocations. The special allocations
set forth in Sections 8.2(e)(i) through (iv) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are
intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is
the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory
Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with
special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or
deduction pursuant to this Section 8.2(e)(v)(1). Therefore, notwithstanding any
other provision of this Article 8 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the
Administrative Member shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company
income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it reasonably determines
appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member's
Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account
balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part
of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Sections
8.2(d) and (e). In applying this Section 8.2(e)(v)(1), the Administrative Member
shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Section 8.2(e)(ii)
that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made under Sections 8.2(e)(i) and (iv).
(2) Audit Adjustment Curative Allocations. In the event
there is a final administrative or judicial determination for federal income tax
purposes for any taxable year that changes the Capital Account balances of the
Members from the Capital Account balances for such taxable year as previously
computed by the Company (an "Adjustment"), then, notwithstanding anything
contained in Section 8.2(d) and (e) hereof, items of Profit, Loss, income, gain,
loss and deduction for that taxable year and, if necessary, subsequent taxable
years, shall be allocated among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the
Capital Account balances of the Members (taking into account such Adjustment)
for that taxable year, and all subsequent taxable years, are the same as they
would have been had such Adjustment not occurred. The reallocation described in
the preceding sentence shall not be made to the extent that the Adjustment
constitutes the correction of an arithmetic or computational error.
(f) Allocations with Respect to Contributed Property; Book Value
Adjustments.
(i) Contributed Property. In accordance with Code Section 704(c)
and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction (and
any item thereof) with respect to any property contributed to the Company shall,
solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into
account any variation at the time of contribution between the adjusted basis of
such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and the Book Value
of the contributed property. Any allocations required under this Section
8.2(f)(i) shall be made using one of the methods set forth in the Treasury
Regulations under Code Section 704(c), as determined by the Administrative
Member and approved by the Non-Administrative Member (and, subject to the second
sentence of Section 7.6(d), above, the Contributed Land shall be deemed to
constitute contributed property for purposes of this subsection between the
Effective Date and the Fee Transfer Date);
(ii) Book Value Adjustments. In the event the Book Value of any
Company property is adjusted so as to differ from its adjusted basis for federal
income tax purposes, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction
(and any item thereof) with respect to such asset shall, in accordance with
Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) and 1.704-1(b)(4), take
account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal
income tax purposes and the Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section
704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any allocations required under
this Section 8.2(f)(i) shall be made using one of methods set forth in the
Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(c), as determined by the
Administrative Member and approved by the Non-Administrative Member; and
(iii) Tax Allocations Only. Allocations pursuant to this Section
8.2(f) are solely for tax purposes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken
into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Profit, Loss
or other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9
DISTRIBUTIONS OF DISTRIBUTABLE CASH
9.1 Distributions.
(a) Subject to Section 7.3(a), Section 7.3(c) and Section 9.1(b), the
Company shall pay or distribute Distributable Cash to the Members, on such
schedule as is approved by Investor (but in no event less than quarterly if
Distributable Cash is available to be distributed), as follows:
(i) First, if any one or more Members have any Unpaid Preferred
Return as of the date of such distribution, then to the Members, pro rata in
proportion to their respective Unpaid Preferred Returns, until each Member's
Unpaid Preferred Return has been reduced to zero;
(ii) Second, if any one or more Members have an Unrecovered
Capital Contribution as of the date of such distribution, then to the Members,
as a return of capital, pro rata in proportion to their respective Unrecovered

been reduced to zero;
(iii) Third, (A) eighty percent (80%) to the Members (pro rata in
proportion to their Percentage Interests) and (B) twenty percent (20%) to MRP,
until the Investor has achieved an overall IRR of seventeen percent (17%),
calculated as of the date of such distribution and taking into account all
payments and distributions through and including such date;
(iv) Fourth, (A) seventy percent (70%) to the Members (pro rata
in proportion to their Percentage Interests) and (B) thirty percent (30%) to
MRP, until the Investor has achieved an overall IRR of twenty percent (20%),
calculated as of the date of such distribution and taking into account all
payments and distributions through and including such date; and
(v) Thereafter, (A) sixty percent (60%) to the Members (pro rata
in proportion to their Percentage Interests) and (B) forty percent (40%) to MRP.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to a Member
on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate any
applicable law or the terms of any Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 10
TRANSFER OF COMPANY INTERESTS
10.1 Limitations on Transfer of Interests by Members.
(a) No Member shall engage in or permit any Transfer with respect to
its Interest unless and then only to the extent expressly permitted in this
Article 10. Any purported Transfer in violation of this Article 10 shall be
void, and shall not bind the Company.
(b) No Member shall, without the prior written consent of all
Members, authorize, cause or permit any Transfer with respect to its Interest if
such Transfer would cause a default under any of the Loan Documents or other
material agreement binding upon the Company or any of its properties, provided
that the Members will use all reasonable and diligent efforts to secure as part
of the terms of the Loan Documents therefor, the agreement of the lender
providing Company Financing to recognize the rights of the Members to make any
other Transfer which is permitted by right under Section 10.1(c).
(c) Notwithstanding Section 10.1(a), but subject to
Section 10.1(b):
(1) Prior to Stabilization, MRP may, without obtaining the
approval of the Company or any Member, cause or permit an indirect Transfer of
its Interest (i.e., the ownership interests within the MRP Member, but not the
Interest itself) so long as (i) the Interest remains Controlled by the MRP
Principals (and the MRP Principals at all times include both Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, except to the extent one, but not both, of such
individuals ceases to be an MRP Principal because of death, disability or
incapacity), (ii) not less than fifty percent (51%) of the beneficial ownership
of the Interest, including fifty-one percent (51%) of the capital and profits of
the Interest, remains owned, directly or indirectly, by the MRP Principals, and
(iii) such Transfer is consistent with and does not violate Section 10.1(b),
Section 10.1(d) and the applicable provisions of Section 10.2.
(2) From and after Stabilization, MRP may, without obtaining the
approval of the Company or any Member, cause or permit an indirect Transfer of
its Interest (i.e., the ownership interests within the MRP Member, but not the
Interest itself) so long as (i) the Interest remains Controlled by the MRP
Principals (and the MRP Principals at all times include at least one of Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx), and (ii) such Transfer is consistent with and
does not violate Section 10.1(b), Section 10.1(d) and the applicable provisions
of Section 10.2.
(3) Prior to Stabilization, Investor may, without obtaining the
approval of the Company or any Member, cause or permit a Transfer with respect
to its Interest so long as (i) immediately after the Transfer, the Person that
owns the subject Interest is Controlled by Florida Rock and majority owned
(directly or indirectly) by Florida Rock, (ii) at all times, only one Person
directly owns the entire Interest held by Investor and any permitted transferee
of Investor, and (iii) such Transfer is consistent with and does not violate
Section 10.1(b), Section 10.1(d) and the applicable provisions of Section 10.2.
(4) From and after Stabilization, Investor may, without obtaining
the approval of the Company or any Member, cause or permit a Transfer affecting
its Interest so long as (i) immediately after the Transfer, the Person that owns
the subject Interest is Controlled by Florida Rock, (ii) at all times, only one
Person directly owns the entire Interest held by Investor and any permitted
transferee of Investor, and (iii) such Transfer is consistent with and does not
violate Section 10.1(b),
Section 10.1(d) and the applicable provisions of Section 10.2.
(d) If any Transfer pursuant to this Section 10.1, either alone or
when aggregated with other Transfers permitted under this Article 10, shall
result in the imposition of any state or local recordation or transfer tax or
other similar tax on transfers of economic interests in entities that own real
property, then (i) the transferor and transferee shall be jointly and severally
liable for such tax, and (ii) each transferor and transferee shall jointly and
severally indemnify and hold the Company (and the other Members) harmless from
any liability for, or arising out of, such tax.
(e) If the Company elects to sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the Company Assets, then the Members agree to cooperate
with any structure that would facilitate such Sale or disposition in a manner
advantageous to the Company, including a Transfer of all of the Interests, or a
merger or consolidation of or with the Company, and any such transaction may be
approved by the Members with the same vote or consent as would be required to
approve a Sale or disposition of the Company Assets by the Company under this
Agreement.
10.2 General Transfer Provisions.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in a particular section of this Article
10 the following provisions apply to any permitted Transfer of an Interest:
(1) the "Selling Member" means the Member that is transferring
and selling its Interest;
(2) the "Purchasing Member" means the Member or other Person that
is acquiring and purchasing the Interest;
(3) the "Non-Selling Member" means, in the case of a Sale of an
Interest, the Member other than the Selling Member; and
(4) the "Closing" means the closing of any Transfer permitted by
this Agreement.
(b) Any Transfer of a direct Interest permitted under this Article 10
shall be evidenced by an instrument of assignment in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Member and Non-Administrative
Member under which the transferor transfers all rights and obligations hereunder
that are allocable to the transferred Interest, and the transferee assumes all
such rights and obligations. Without limitation, such assignment shall also
provide that the transferee of such Interest: (i) agrees to be bound by all the
terms of this Agreement applicable to the transferor with respect to the
Interest transferred; and (ii) assumes and agrees to perform and comply with all
obligations of the transferor arising from and after the time of such Transfer.
Upon compliance with all of the terms hereof, the Purchasing Member shall be
substituted as a Member in respect of such acquired Interest and, if required by
applicable law, the Administrative Member promptly thereafter shall cause to be
filed with the proper authorities an amendment to the Certificate in order to
reflect such change and take such similar action as may be required.
(c) An executed counterpart of each document executed pursuant to
this Article 10 shall be delivered to the Non-Selling Member, the Selling
Member, the Purchasing Member and the Company.
(d) A permitted Transfer of an Interest or any other permitted
Transfer shall
not terminate the Company. No Transfer will be permitted if such Transfer
would result in the Company being a "publicly-traded partnership", within the
meaning of the Code and the regulations thereunder, or an entity taxable
as a corporation or as an association or otherwise being treated as a
taxable entity for United States federal income tax purposes, unless
otherwise agreed to by all of the Members.
(e) It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the
requirements or obligations, if any, of a Member or the Company to make any
Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or of a Member to
refrain from making any Transfer not permitted by this Agreement, shall be
enforceable by an action for specific performance of a contract relating to the
purchase of real property or an interest therein or by an action for injunctive
relief, respectively.
(f) Any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by the Company in connection with
effectuating such Transfer and the admission of the Purchaser as a Member shall
be paid or caused to be paid by the Seller. It is expressly agreed that each
Member shall otherwise be responsible for its own out-of-pocket costs and
expenses relating to such Transfer.
(g) In applying and interpreting any provision of this Agreement in
which the context assumes that there are two, but not more than two, Members in
the Company, (i) MRP and any transferees of MRP (other than Investor or its
Affiliate) shall collectively be treated as a single Member with the rights and
obligations of MRP hereunder and (ii) Investor and any transferees of Investor
(other than MRP or its Affiliate) shall collectively be treated as a single
Member with the rights and obligations of Investor hereunder. This paragraph is
not intended to permit partial transfers of Interest that are not otherwise
permitted under this Agreement.
10.3 Remedy for Impermissible Transfer. In the event that a Member or a
holder of a direct or indirect interest in such Member shall purport to transfer
its interest or part thereof in a manner not permitted hereunder, then, without
limiting any other remedies available hereunder or at law, the other Member may,
at its option, declare such purported Transfer void pursuant to Section 10.1(a).
10.4 Change in Interest. Upon any change in the relative interests of the
Members, whether by reason of the admission of a Member or otherwise, the
Members' shares of all Company items shall be determined, except as otherwise
required by law, by an interim closing of the Company's books.
10.5 Substituted Members.
(a) Any Member that assigns all of its Interest pursuant to an
assignment or assignments permitted under this Agreement shall cease to be a
Member of the Company except that unless and until a Substituted Member is
admitted in its stead, the assigning Member shall not cease to be a Member of
the Company under the Act and shall retain the rights and powers of
a Member under the Act and hereunder. Any assignee of any portion of the
Interest of a Member that has satisfied the requirements of Article 10 shall
become a Substituted Member only when (i) the Administrative Member has entered
such assignee as a Member on the books and records of the Company, which the
Administrative Member is hereby directed to do upon satisfaction of such
requirements, and (ii) such assignee has paid all reasonable legal fees and
filing costs and any transfer taxes arising as a result of or in connection with
the substitution as a Member.
(b) Any Person who is a permitted assignee of any of the Interest of
a Member but who does not become a Substituted Member and desires to make a
further assignment of any such Interest shall be subject to all the provisions
of this Article 10 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member
desiring to make an assignment of its Interest.
10.6 Acceptance of Prior Acts. Any Person who becomes a Member, by
becoming a Member, accepts, ratifies and agrees to be bound by all actions duly
taken by the transferor, any other Member, the Company or any other Person on
behalf of any of the foregoing pursuant to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement prior to the date it became a Member and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, specifically ratifies and approves all agreements
and other instruments as may have been executed and delivered on behalf of the
Company prior to said date and which are in force and effect on said date.
10.7 Required Recognition of Impermissible Transfer. If the Company is
required by a court of competent jurisdiction or applicable law to recognize a
Transfer of an Interest which is not permitted hereunder, then:
(a) the transferee with respect to such Interest shall have only the
rights of an unadmitted assignee under the Act with respect to the transferred
Interest, and shall not have the rights of a Member unless admitted as a Member
under the Act, and any distributions with respect to such transferred Interest
may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the
Company) towards the satisfaction of any debts, obligations, or liabilities for
damages that the transferor or transferee of such Interest may have to the
Company; and
(b) to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Member
other than the transferee shall have the right of first refusal, but not the
obligation, to acquire such transferred Interest on the same terms and
conditions as the purported transferee, and such Member shall have at least
thirty (30) days within which to exercise such right of first refusal, which
thirty (30) day period shall begin on the later of (i) the date that the Company
is required by a court of competent jurisdiction to recognize such Transfer and
(ii) the date on which such Member has received notice of all of the terms and
conditions under which the purported transferee has acquired or intends to
acquire such Interest.
10.8 Sale Or Conversion Upon Stabilization.
(a) The Administrative Member shall provide written notice to
Investor promptly upon Stabilization (and, prior to Stabilization, shall update
Investor regularly with the
projected date of Stabilization). Upon receipt of such notice, Investor
shall have one (1) year within which to elect, by written notice to MRP,
either (i) to cause the Company to sell the Property or (ii) to cause a
Conversion. If Investor does not make an election within such one (1) year
period, or if Investor elects to cause the Company to sell the Property and such
Sale is not consummated within 18 months after Stabilization (provided that such
18 month period shall be automatically extended so long as the Company is
thereafter actively marketing the Property for Sale), then in either such event,
Investor shall be deemed to have elected to cause a Conversion.
(b) If Investor elects to cause the Company to sell the Property,
then the Members shall cooperate in marketing the Property for Sale to the
highest bidder, promptly but in an orderly and diligent manner, and in
contracting for and consummating such Sale, if applicable.
(c) If Investor elects (or is deemed to elect) to cause a Conversion,
then (and only then) the following procedure shall apply (collectively, the
"Conversion"):
(1) Within thirty (30) days after Investor's election (or deemed
election) to cause a Conversion, MRP shall provide a notice ("Conversion
Notice") to Investor stating MRP's estimate of the gross fair market value of
the Property as of the date of such Conversion Notice.
(2) Within thirty (30) days after Investor's receipt of the
Conversion Notice, Investor shall deliver a written notice ("Conversion Election
Notice") to MRP stating either (i) that Investor agrees to the gross fair market
value of the Property set forth in the Conversion Notice, in which case such
value shall be the "Project Value" for purposes of this Section 10.8(c), or (2)
that Investor disagrees with the gross fair market value of the Property set
forth in the Conversion Notice, in which case Investor shall state its estimate
of the gross fair market value of the Property as of the date of the Conversion
Notice; if Investor fails to give such notice within such thirty (30) day
period, then it shall be deemed to have given a Conversion Election Notice (on
the last day of such thirty (30) day period) electing to agree to the gross fair
market value of the Property set forth in the Conversion Notice.
(3) If Investor delivers a Conversion Election Notice disagreeing
with the gross fair market value of the Property set forth in the Conversion
Notice, then MRP and Investor shall negotiate in good faith to arrive at an
agreed gross fair market value of the Property as of the date of the Conversion
Notice. If the parties are unable to agree on such value within forty-five (45)
days after the delivery of the Conversion Notice, then either party may invoke
the valuation procedures set forth in Exhibit C. The final gross fair market
value of the Property as of the date of the Conversion Notice, as agreed upon by
MRP and Investor or as determined pursuant to Exhibit C, shall be the "Project
Value" for purposes of this Section 10.8(c).
(4) From and after the date of the Conversion Notice,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.1(a) or Section 11.3(c),
all distributions to the Members
shall be made strictly pro rata in accordance with the Members' respective
Percentage Interests, as adjusted for such Conversion in accordance with this
Section 10.8(c)(4). Unless unanimously otherwise agreed by the Members, the
Company shall not make any distributions to Members beginning on the date of the
Conversion Notice through the date that the Project Value is finally determined
in accordance with this Section 10.8(c). Immediately following the final
determination of Project Value in accordance with this Section 10.8(c), the
respective Percentage Interests of the Members shall be adjusted (which
adjustment shall relate back to the date of the Conversion Notice) to equal the
following:
(i) the Percentage Interest of MRP shall be equal to MRP
Pre-Conversion Equity Value divided by Total Equity Value; and
(ii) the Percentage Interest of Investor shall be equal to
Investor Pre-Conversion Equity Value divided by Total Equity Value.
Thereafter, for purposes of calculating the Percentage Interests of the Members,
(A) MRP shall be deemed to have made an aggregate amount of Capital
Contributions prior to the date of the Conversion Notice equal to the MRP
Pre-Conversion Equity Value, and (B) the Investor shall be deemed to have made
an aggregate amount of Capital Contributions prior to the date of the Conversion
Notice equal to the Investor Pre-Conversion Equity Value, and subsequent
adjustments to the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be made in
accordance with this Agreement, including Section 7.3(d) if applicable.
(5) For purposes of this Section 10.8(c):
(i) "MRP Pre-Conversion Equity Value" shall be deemed to be
an amount equal to the cash consideration MRP would have received if the assets
of the Company had been sold on the date of the Conversion Notice for an
all-cash net price equal to 98% of the Project Value (i.e., an all-cash price
that has been reduced by assumed closing costs equal to two percent (2%) of the
Project Value) and the Company had been dissolved and wound up following such
sale and the proceeds of such sale and the other assets of the Company remaining
after payments to creditors had been distributed to the Members in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement including Section 11.3(c) (excluding this
Section 10.8(c)).
(ii) "Investor Pre-Conversion Equity Value" shall be
deemed to be an amount equal to the cash consideration Investor would have
received if the assets of the Company had been sold on the date of the
Conversion Notice for an all-cash net price equal to 98% of the Project Value
(i.e., an all-cash price that has been reduced by assumed closing costs equal to
two percent (2%) of the Project Value) and the Company had been dissolved and
wound up following such sale and the proceeds of such sale and the other assets
of the Company remaining after payments to
creditors had been distributed to the Members in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement including Section 11.3(c) (excluding this
Section 10.8(c)).
(iii) "Total Equity Value" shall mean the sum of the MRP
Pre-Conversion Equity Value and the Investor Pre-Conversion Equity Value.
(6) Promptly after the Project Value is finally determined in
accordance with this Section 10.8(c) and the adjustment to Percentage Interests
has been completed in accordance with Section 10.8(c)(4), the Members shall use
all commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to obtain Company Financing in
an amount not to exceed seventy percent (70%) loan-to-value, on such terms as
are approved by all of the Members, with the objective of distributing excess
financing proceeds to the Members, pro rata in accordance with the Members'
respective Percentage Interests, as so adjusted.
ARTICLE 11

assets of the Company in a terminating capital transaction (except as necessary

occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member
in the Company, agree in writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the

Bankruptcy, death, removal, withdrawal, dissolution or admission of any Member.

the Company's liabilities, and distribute to the Members in accordance with
Section 11.3 any remaining assets of the Company, all without affecting the
liability of Members and without imposing liability on any liquidating trustee.
(c) Upon the completion of winding up of the Company, the
Administrative Member or liquidating trustee, as the case may be, shall cause
the filing of a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware as provided in the Act. The existence of the Company as a
separate legal entity shall continue until termination of the Company as

trustee, as the case may be, shall determine are reasonably necessary for any
contingent, conditional or unmatured liabilities or obligations of the Company;
(b) to the satisfaction of debts and liabilities of the Company owed
to Members; and
(c) The balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with the

PARTY OF AN EXECUTED COUNTERPART OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER PARTY SHALL
CONSTITUTE GOOD DELIVERY TO SUCH OTHER PARTY FOR ALL PURPOSES.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF
LAW PROVISIONS THEREOF.
13.7 Consent to Jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Member hereby irrevocably consents and agrees, for the benefit of each party,
that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to its
obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement shall be brought in any federal or state court
located in the District of Columbia (a "Permitted Court"), and hereby
irrevocably accepts and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Permitted
Court with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, each Member also hereby irrevocably consents and agrees, for
the benefit of each other party, that any legal action, suit or proceeding

proceedings brought in any such Permitted Court and hereby further waives and
agrees not to plead or claim in any such Permitted Court that any such action,
suit or proceeding brought therein has been brought in an inconvenient forum

successor-in-interest to any Member shall have the right to have any Company
Asset partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or
in equity seeking to have any Company Asset partitioned or seeking dissolution
of the Company under the Act or otherwise
under applicable law, and each Member, on behalf of himself, his successors,
representatives, heirs and assigns, hereby waives any such right. In the

that Section 3.3 provides the exclusive remedies for such disagreement, and,
except where the Members have expressly agreed herein not to unreasonably

severable. The invalidity and unenforceability of any particular provision of

13.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements
among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and contains the
entire Agreement among the parties with respect to such subject matter.
13.12 Waivers. No waiver of any provision hereof by any party hereto shall
be deemed a waiver by any other party nor shall any such waiver by any party be
deemed a continuing waiver of any matter by such party.
13.13 Maintenance as a Separate Entity. The Company shall maintain books
and records and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates (including
any Subsidiary); shall at all times hold itself out to the public as a legal

signs it posts); shall not commingle its assets with assets of any of its
Affiliates (including any Subsidiary); shall cause its business to be carried on
by the Administrative Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

the status of the Company as a separate legal entity or the limited liability of
a Member.
13.14 Confidentiality.
(a) Each Member agrees not to disclose or permit the disclosure of
any of the terms of this Agreement or of any other confidential, non-public or
proprietary information relating to the Company Assets or Project (collectively,
"Confidential Information"), provided that such disclosure may be made (i) to
any Person who is a member, partner, officer, director or employee of such
Member or counsel to or accountants of such Member solely for their use and on a
need-to-know basis, provided that such Persons are notified of the Members'

appropriate in connection with the audit of the accounts of any Member or to
enable any Member or its Affiliates to comply (as deemed necessary or
appropriate by such party) with the disclosure and other requirements imposed by

connection with a permitted Transfer of an Interest by any Member, (vii) as
required in connection with seeking governmental approvals and/or entitlements

of any Member or its Affiliates are listed or traded. In no event will any
information or material that is already publically disclosed, or otherwise in
the public domain (except as a result of a prior breach of this Section 13.14 by
the party seeking to classify otherwise Confidential Information as being
non-confidential) be considered "Confidential Information" within the meaning of
this Section 13.14 (a).
(b) In the event that a Member shall receive a request to disclose
any Confidential Information under a subpoena or order, such Member shall (i)
promptly notify the other Members thereof, (ii) consult with the other Member on
the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request and (iii) if
disclosure is required or deemed advisable, cooperate with any of the other
Member (at such other Member's sole expense) in any attempt it may make to

the Confidential Information that is otherwise subject to disclosure thereunder;
provided nothing herein will restrict such party in making such disclosure.
(c) No Member shall issue any press release or other public
communication about the formation or existence of the Company without the

shall not be construed as granting any rights, benefits or privileges to any
Person not a party to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no creditor of the Company or of
any Member shall have any right whatsoever to require any Member to
contribute capital to the Company or otherwise enforce any provision of this
Agreement against any Member.
13.16 Construction of Documents. The parties hereto acknowledge that they
were represented by separate and independent counsel in connection with the
review, negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and that this Agreement shall
not be subject to the principle of construing its meaning against the party that
drafted same.
13.17 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of each
and every term of this Agreement.
13.18 Conflict of Interest.
(a) The parties hereto acknowledge that the law firm of Xxxxxx &
Xxxxxx LLP (the "AP Firm") has represented, presently represents, and may in the
future represent Investor, and its Affiliates, in their separate capacities.
Inasmuch as the AP Firm is presently representing the Company in connection with
its formation, presently representing the interests of Investor and its
Affiliates in connection with the transfer of the Property to the Company and
the formation of the Company, and may represent the Company and/or Investor and
its Affiliates and other future transactions contemplated herein, potential
conflicts of interests may be created by the AP Firm's representation of
Investor and the Company and their respective Affiliates. Although there are no
conflicts or disputes presently existing between the Company and such Members
(in any capacity held hereunder), or among the Members themselves, there is the
potential that such conflicts may arise in the future. By signing this
Agreement, the parties acknowledge that these potential conflicts and
relationships have been disclosed, and that they have had ample opportunity to
discuss these conflicts with the AP Firm and with separate legal counsel. MRP,
the MRP Principals and MRP's Affiliates have been represented by separate legal
counsel in connection with the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement.
Subject to (and except as provided in) the terms set forth below, the parties
hereto waive any rights they may have now or in the future to protest or object
to the AP Firm's representation of the Company, Investor, and/or any Affiliates
of the foregoing, and agree that in the event of a conflict between the
Members/Administrative Member, or the Company and any of its
Members/Administrative Member, the AP Firm shall be permitted to represent
Investor (or its successors in interest) and its Affiliates (other than the
Company) in connection with any such conflict. In the event any court of
competent jurisdiction determines that the AP Firm's representation of the
Company, Investor, and/or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, results in a
conflict of interest that may not be waived or that is not within the scope of
the waiver set forth in this Section 13.18(a), or factual circumstances arise in
the future which require the AP Firm to re-evaluate the conflict waiver set
forth in this Section 13.18(a), to discontinue its representation of the
Company, Investor, and/or or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or to
otherwise modify the terms and limitations applicable to such representation,
the AP Firm reserves the right to seek additional conflict waivers, to withdraw
from such representation, or to propose additional terms and limitations (or
modifications to existing terms and limitations) without prejudice to its rights
to continue to represent Investor or any Affiliates of Investor in such dispute,
and on other matters.
Alternatively, the AP Firm may withdraw from its representation of all parties
in connection with matters pertaining to such dispute. The AP Firm is an
express, intended third party beneficiary of this Section 13.18(a).
(b) The parties hereto acknowledge that the law firm of Xxxxxxxxx &
Saas, P.C. (the "TS Firm") has represented, presently represents, and may in the
future represent MRP/Administrative Member, the MRP Principals, and their
various Affiliates in their separate capacities. Inasmuch as the TS Firm is
presently representing the Company in connection with its formation, and its
acquisition of the Property from Investor pursuant to the Contribution
Agreement, as well as the interests of MRP, the MRP Principals and their
Affiliates in connection with the formation of the Company, and may represent
the Company and Members and their Affiliates in connection other future
transactions contemplated herein, potential conflicts of interests may be
created by the TS Firm's representation of the MRP and the Company and their
respective Affiliates. In addition, one of the principals of the TS Firm is also
an MRP Principal, and will therefore hold an indirect interest in the Company at
the time of its formation or thereafter. Although there are no conflicts or
disputes presently existing between the Company and such Members (in any
capacity held hereunder), or among the Members themselves, there is the
potential that such conflicts may arise in the future. By signing this
Agreement, the parties acknowledge that these potential conflicts and
relationships have been disclosed, and that they have had ample opportunity to
discuss these conflicts with the TS Firm and with separate legal counsel.
Investor and its Affiliates have been represented by separate legal counsel in
connection with the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. Subject to (and
except as provided in) the terms set forth below, the parties hereto waive any
rights they may have now or in the future to protest or object to the TS Firm's
representation of the Company, MRP, any MRP Principal, and/or any Affiliates of
the foregoing, and agree that in the event of a conflict between the Members, or
between the Company and any of its Members, in whatever capacity, the TS Firm
shall be permitted to represent MRP (or its successors in interest), the MRP
Principals and the MRP Affiliates (other than the Company) in connection with
any such conflict. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction determines
that the TS Firm's representation of the Company, MRP, the MRP Principals,
and/or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, results in a conflict of interest
that may not be waived or that is not within the scope of the waiver set forth
in this Section 13.18(b), or factual circumstances arise in the future which
require the TS Firm to re-evaluate the conflict waiver set forth in this Section
13.18(b), to discontinue its representation of the Company, MRP, any MRP
Principal, and/or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, or to otherwise modify
the terms and limitations applicable to such representation, the TS Firm
reserves the right to seek additional conflict waivers, to withdraw from such
representation, or to propose additional terms and limitations (or modifications
to existing terms and limitations) without prejudice to its rights to continue
to represent MRP, the MRP Principals, or any Affiliates of MRP in such dispute,
and on other matters. Alternatively, the TS Firm may withdraw from its
representation of all parties in connection with matters pertaining to such
dispute. The TS Firm is an express, intended third party beneficiary of this
Section 13.18(b).

EXHIBIT A
Mediation Procedures
In the event of any dispute under the circumstances described in Sections
3.3(c), any party may commence mediation by providing to the other party a
written request for mediation, setting forth the subject of the dispute and the
relief requested to the other party via facsimile, e-mail or other physical or
electronic means ("Mediation Election Notice"). The parties hereby agree that,
except as expressly set forth herein, no arbitration or court action with
respect to any dispute may be commenced until the dispute has been submitted for
mediation.
1. For purposes of this Exhibit A, the term "Party" means either Investor
or MRP.
2. The dispute(s) which shall be listed in such Mediation Election Notice,
are, collectively, the "Disputed Items." Within fifteen (15) calendar days
following the Mediation Election Notice, the Parties will attempt to agree in
good faith on a single mediator, which must be an Approved Mediator. "Approved
Mediator" means an individual who is not an Affiliate of any Member, and who is
not and has never been an employee of any Member or Affiliate, and who is a
retired judge or is otherwise knowledgeable in the Disputed Items, as determined
by the Parties. If the Parties cannot agree on an Approved Mediator within such
fifteen (15) calendar day period, then either Party may elect to submit the
resolution of the Disputed Items to binding arbitration pursuant to Exhibit B.
The foregoing fifteen (15) day period shall be reduced to five (5) days in the
case of a dispute regarding an Expedited Major Decision.
3. If the Parties agree on a single Approved Mediator, then the Parties
and the Approved Mediator shall meet at a mutually acceptable location in the
greater Washington, D.C. area to conduct the mediation of the Disputed Items
(the "Mediation"). The Mediation shall occur on a single Business Day, and shall
begin no later than 9 a.m. and conclude no earlier than 2 p.m.
4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may at any time by mutual
written agreement discontinue mediation proceedings and themselves agree upon
the Disputed Items.
5. The Parties covenant that they will participate in the Mediation, and
that they will share equally in its costs. All offers, promises, conduct and
statements, whether oral or written, made in the course of the Mediation by any
of the parties, their agents, employees, experts and attorneys, and by the
mediator are confidential, privileged and inadmissible for any purpose,
including impeachment, in any arbitration, litigation or other proceeding
involving the Parties, provided that evidence that is otherwise admissible or
discoverable shall not be rendered inadmissible or non-discoverable as a result
of its use in the Mediation. Either Party may seek equitable relief prior to the
Mediation to preserve the status quo or prevent irreparable harm pending the
completion of that process. Except for such an action to obtain equitable
relief, neither Party may commence an arbitration or court action with respect
to the matters submitted to mediation until after the completion of the initial
Mediation session, and thereafter, either Party shall be free to submit the
matter to binding arbitration pursuant to Exhibit B.
EXHIBIT B
Arbitration Procedures
In the event that the Members cannot agree on any Major Decision that is
expressly subject to binding arbitration pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of the
Agreement, or in the event of any dispute pursuant to Article 4 of the
Agreement, then either Member may submit such dispute to arbitration in
accordance with this Exhibit B.
1. For purposes of this Exhibit B, the term "Party" means either Investor
or MRP.
2. Under the circumstances described in Section 3.4(c) or Article 4,
either Party may give written notice (an "Arbitration Election Notice") to the
other that it is submitting a dispute to arbitration under this Exhibit B. The
Major Decision(s) or other matter then in dispute, which shall be listed in such
Arbitration Election Notice, are, collectively, the "Disputed Items." The
Arbitration Election Notice shall name one (1) arbitrator selected by such
Party, which must be an Approved Arbitrator. "Approved Arbitrator" means an
individual who is not an Affiliate of any Member, and who is not and has never
been an employee of any Member or Affiliate, and who (1) if the Disputed Items
relate to Budget or accounting matters, has at least ten (10) years' experience
as a certified public accountant auditing real estate development companies or
institutional investors in respect of their real estate investments in the
United States; (2) if the Disputed Items relate to a proposed debt financing,
has at least
ten (10) years' experience as an arranger of debt financing for Class A
commercial real estate in the United States; (3) if the Disputed Item
relates to an architectural issue, has at least ten (10) years' experience
as a licensed architect of Class A commercial real estate in the United
States, (4) if the Disputed Item relates to an engineering issue, has at least
ten (10) years' experience as a civil engineer for Class A commercial real
estate developments in the United States, (5) if the Disputed Item relates to a
different type of engineering issue, has at least ten (10) years' experience as
an engineer in the specific engineering subspecialty involved, (6) if the
Disputed Item relates to some other technical issue or concern, has at least ten
(10) years' experience in performing professional services involving
substantially identical technical knowledge and experience in the United States,
or (7) for all other Disputed Items, is a retired judge.
3. Within fifteen (15) Calendar Days after either Party delivers an
Arbitration Election Notice, the other Party shall give written notice to the
first Party either (i) approving the arbitrator selected by the first Party to
act as sole arbitrator or (ii) naming a second arbitrator, who shall be an
Approved Arbitrator. If the second Party fails timely to deliver such notice, it
shall be deemed to have approved the arbitrator selected by the first Party to
act as sole arbitrator. If the second Party timely names a second arbitrator,
the two named arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator (who must also be an
Approved Arbitrator). In the event the two arbitrators fail to appoint or agree
upon the third arbitrator within fifteen (15) Calendar Days after the second
Party's notice naming the second arbitrator, either Party may request the
director of the Washington, D.C. regional office of the American Arbitration
Association (or any successor organization, or if no successor organization
exists, then to an organization composed of persons of similar qualifications)
to do so within five (5) Business Days of such request. In
the event of the inability or failure of any arbitrator to act, a
replacement arbitrator shall be selected in the same manner as set forth
above. The foregoing fifteen (15) day periods shall be reduced to five (5)
days in the case of a dispute regarding an Expedited Major Decision.
4. Within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the identity of
the three (3) arbitrators or the determination to utilize a sole arbitrator
pursuant to Paragraph 3 above, the Parties and the arbitrator(s) shall hold a
hearing at a mutually acceptable location in the greater Washington, D.C. area
at which hearing (the "Hearing") each Party shall simultaneously provide each
other (and each of the arbitrators) with sealed envelopes in which each Party
shall have set forth its proposed resolution of the Disputed Items (neither
Party being bound by any previous offers or discussions regarding the resolution
of the Disputed Items). Until the Hearing has been completed, the Hearing shall
occur on consecutive Business Days without a break, and shall begin no later
than 9 a.m. and conclude no earlier than 5 p.m. on each day (unless otherwise
determined by the arbitrator(s)).
5. Prior to the Hearing, either Party may present whatever written
evidence it deems appropriate (with copies of any such written evidence being
sent to the other Party). At the Hearing, the Parties may each submit evidence,
be heard, and cross-examine witnesses, and each of the Parties will furnish the
arbitrator(s) with such information as the arbitrator(s) may reasonably request.
The Hearing shall be conducted such that each Party shall have reasonably
adequate time to present oral evidence or argument and cross-examine witnesses.
The sole task of the arbitrator(s) shall be to determine whether the position of
the Investor or Development Manager Member with respect to the Major Decision
constituting the Disputed Item is in the best interests of the Company;
provided, however, with respect to any Disputed Item involving a Financing
Decision, the sole task of the arbitrator(s) shall be to determine whether the
position of Investor is commercially reasonable (and if Investor's position with
respect to such Financing Decision is commercially reasonable, then the
arbitrator(s) shall hold in favor of Investor). No other resolution of any
Disputed Item may be determined by the arbitrator(s), and the arbitrator(s) may
not choose any partial resolution of some of the Disputed Items submitted by a
Party unless the arbitrator(s) choose the entire resolution of all Disputed
Items submitted by such Party.
6. Both Parties shall request that the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall
be given within a period of ten (10) Business Days after the Hearing and shall
be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation of each arbitrator's
rationale for its decision. A decision on resolution of the Disputed Items in
which a majority of the arbitrators concur shall in all cases be binding and
conclusive upon the Parties. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator(s) and this
arbitration process shall be borne by the Party whose proposed resolution of the
Disputed Items was not selected by the arbitrator(s). The foregoing ten (10)
Business Day period shall be reduced to five (5) Business Days in the case of a
dispute regarding an Expedited Major Decision.
7. If the decision of the arbitrator(s) is held by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be unenforceable for any reason (Investor and MRP hereby
affirmatively stating it is their intent and agreement that the concurrence of a
majority of the arbitrators rendered in accordance herewith
to the Disputed Items will be legally enforceable as to them), then the
resolution of the Disputed Items shall be subject to litigation in any
court of competent jurisdiction with the final determination being made in
accordance with a court judgment, no longer subject to appeal, of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may at any time by mutual
written agreement discontinue arbitration proceedings and themselves agree upon
the Disputed Items.
EXHIBIT C
Valuation Procedures
In the event that either Member desires to invoke the valuation procedures
set forth in Exhibit C pursuant to Section 4.12(a) or Section 10.8(c)(3), the
following shall apply:
1. The Member invoking the procedures set forth in Exhibit C ("Invoking
Member") shall deliver written notice ("Appraisal Notice") to the other Member
("Other Member") which (i) states that the Invoking Member is invoking the
procedures set forth in this Exhibit C and (ii) identifies a Qualified Appraiser
("First Appraiser"). The date of the Appraisal Notice shall be the "Appraisal
Commencement Date".
2. Within fifteen (15) days following the Appraisal Commencement Date, the
Other Member shall deliver written notice to the Invoking Member which
identifies a second Qualified Appraiser ("Second Appraiser").
3. During the forty-five (45) day period following the Appraisal
Commencement Date, the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser shall
independently determine the fair market value of the Property (as if fee simple
title had been transferred to the Company pursuant to Section 7.6). Prior to the
date that is forty-five (45) days after the Appraisal Commencement Date, the
First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser shall each deliver to the Members a
written report of its determination of the fair market value of the Property.
4. If the greater of the fair market values as determined by either the
First Appraiser or the Second Appraiser is equal to or less than 105% of the
lesser of the fair market values as determined by the First Appraiser or the
Second Appraiser, then the fair market value shall be the average of such fair
market values. If the greater of the fair market values as determined by either
the First Appraiser or the Second Appraiser is greater than 105% of the lesser
of the fair market values as determined by the First Appraiser or the Second
Appraiser, then the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser shall appoint a
third Qualified Appraiser ("Third Appraiser") pursuant to paragraph 5 below.
5. With five (5) days after delivery of the reports of both the First
Appraiser and Second Appraiser pursuant to paragraph 4, the First Appraiser and
Second Appraiser shall meet to appoint the Third Appraiser. First Appraiser and
Second Appraiser shall each bring to such meeting a list of three Qualified
Appraisers that it proposes. At such meeting, such lists shall be exchanged and
any Qualified Appraiser that is on both lists shall be the Third Appraiser. If
no Qualified Appraiser is on both lists, then First Appraiser and Second
Appraiser may each select a Qualified Appraiser from the other's list, and if
either First Appraiser or Second Appraiser does so the Qualified Appraiser so
selected shall be the Third Appraiser. If a Third Appraiser is not so selected,
First Appraiser and Second Appraiser shall each provide a supplemental list of
three Qualified Appraisers (which may include Qualified Appraisers on the
other's prior list). Any Qualified Appraiser that is on both any list provided
by the First Appraiser and any list provided by the Second Appraiser shall be
the Third Appraiser. If no Qualified Appraiser is on both lists,
then First Appraiser and Second Appraiser may each select a Qualified
Appraiser from the other's lists, and if either First Appraiser or Second
Appraiser does so the Qualified Appraiser so selected shall be the Third
Appraiser. Such process shall continue until the Third Appraiser is identified.
If more than one Qualified Appraiser is identified pursuant to this process, the
Third Appraiser shall be determined by coin toss among such Qualified
Appraisers.
6. The Third Appraiser shall be provided with a copy of the reports of
fair market value prepared by the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser, and
copies of all materials upon which such reports are based. During the thirty
(30) day period following its appointment, the Third Appraiser shall
independently undertake such review of the reports of fair market value prepared
by the First Appraiser and the Second Appraiser, and shall conduct such further
investigation and analysis, as it deems necessary or appropriate, and shall
determine whether the fair market value as determined by the First Appraiser or
the Second Appraiser is closer to the actual fair market value of the Property.
Whichever of such fair market values is determined by the Third Appraiser to be
closer to the actual fair market value of the Property shall be the final gross
fair market value of the Property for purposes of Section 4.12(a) or Section
10.8(c)(3).
7. A "Qualified Appraiser" shall be an appraiser who (i) is a member of
the Master Appraiser Institute and is licensed in the District of Columbia, (ii)
has not less than ten (10) years' experience in appraising commercial real
estate projects, (iii) is currently practicing in the District of Columbia, and
(iv) is not, and during the preceding five (5) years has not been, an employee
of either the Invoking Member, the Other Member or any of their affiliates.
8. Each Member shall pay all costs and expenses of the Qualified Appraiser
appointed by it, and shall split equally all costs and expenses of the Third
Appraiser.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals (each of which
is incorporated herein as a substantive part of this Agreement), the mutual
covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties
hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Sharing of Guaranty Payments
(a) MRP and FRP each hereby agree that, subject to, and except as
provided in Section l(b), any and all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below)
that become due and payable under the Guaranty, and any and all Indemnification
Obligations (as defined below) that become due and payable under the
Environmental Indemnity (the foregoing, each, a "Liability" and collectively,
the "Liabilities") shall be allocated to and shared by the Members in accordance
with their respective "Percentage Interests" in the Company as of the date the
Liability becomes due and payable by Guarantors. The Percentage Interest of each
Member shall constitute such Member's "Share" of the applicable Liability,
except as hereafter provided. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Guaranty
Obligations" shall mean and refer to all amounts, including without limitation
losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, claims or other sums, for which
Guarantors become liable pursuant to the Guaranty, and the term "Indemnification
Obligations" shall mean and refer to all amounts, including without limitation
losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, claims or other sums, for which

incurred by Guarantors in connection with the Guaranty and/or the Environmental
Indemnity and any claim thereunder, and (ii) any legal fees or collection costs
incurred by Lender in pursuing its remedies against Guarantors under the
Guaranty and/or the Environmental Indemnity.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section l(a) or any other provision
herein to the contrary, each Member (as such, a "Responsible Member", which term
will be deemed to include and encompass actions taken by such Member and/or any
persons or entities affiliated with such Member) shall each be solely
responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Member (the
"Non-Responsible Member") harmless from and against (and Non-Responsible Member
shall have no liability or obligation to pay its respective Share of) any and
all Liabilities to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or result from:
(1) fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of
the Responsible Member, whether occurring directly or through Borrower,
(2) any bad faith action by such Responsible Member, whether
occurring directly or through Borrower,
(3) any affirmative or intentional action by such Responsible
Member which gives rise to Liabilities, provided that this clause (3) shall not
apply in the case of any affirmative or intentional action taken by a Member
which, at the time such affirmative or intentional action was taken:
(A) was (i) undertaken in good faith by such Member, and
(ii) reasonably believed by such Member to be (1) in the best interests of
Borrower (and not primarily in such Member's self-interest), and (2) within the
scope of authority expressly granted or reserved to such Member under the terms
of the Borrower LLC Agreement, or
(B) was approved in writing by the other Members.
(4) any action by a Responsible Member (whether occurring
directly or through Borrower) which, under the terms of Section ___ of the Loan
Agreement, results in the Indebtedness (as defined in the Loan Agreement)
becoming fully recourse to Borrower, including without limitation all of actions
described in clauses (__) - (__) of the last grammatical paragraph of Section
___ of the Loan Agreement (unless expressly consented by the other Member),
and/or
(5) any breach of the terms of the Guaranty or Environmental
Indemnity by Guarantors, provided the foregoing shall be deemed to exclude any
failure by Guarantors to pay Liabilities for which they are liable under the
Guaranty and/or Environmental Indemnity to the extent the other Member failed to
satisfy its indemnification and/or contribution obligations to Guarantors in
relation to such Liabilities (as otherwise provided for under the terms of this
Agreement).
The foregoing notwithstanding, if both Members are Responsible Members with
respect to any Liabilities arising under this Section 1(b) by virtue of their
conduct or actions with regard to the matter giving rise to such Liabilities,
then such Liabilities shall be allocated between the Responsible Members in
proportion to their Percentage Interests.
(c) (i) If Guarantors, or any of them, make a payment to Lender on
account of any Liability governed by Section 1(a), FRP shall nevertheless remain
responsible for its Share of the amount so paid; and if the amount so paid by
Guarantors exceeds MRP's Share of the applicable Liability, then FRP shall
reimburse MRP, together with interest to the extent provided for in Section
1(f), within five (5) Business Days following written demand by MRP or any of
the Guarantors for the portion of such excess payments for which FRP is
responsible under Section 1(a).
(ii) If Guarantors, or any of them, make a payment to Lender on
account of any Liability governed by Section 1(b), with respect to which FRP is
a Responsible Member (either in whole or in part), then FRP shall nevertheless
remain responsible the amount so paid (or its relative share thereof, as
determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1(b)) and shall pay such
amount(s) to MRP or the applicable Guarantor(s) within five (5) days after
written demand from MRP or any of the Guarantors, together with interest as and
to the extent provided for in Section 1(f); and if the amount so paid by the
Guarantors to Lender exceeded MRP's (or such Guarantors) share (relative to
FRP's share) of the applicable Liability, then FRP shall reimburse MRP or the
applicable Guarantor(s) within five (5) Business Days following written demand
from MRP or any of the Guarantors (together with interest as and to the extent
provided for in Section 1(f)), for FRP's relative share of any such excess
payments all as determined in accordance with the last sentence of Section 1(b).
(iii) All amounts that are due and payable from a Member or
Responsible Member to Guarantors or the Company under any of the foregoing
provisions shall be paid (together with interest as and to the extent provided
for in Section 1(f)) within five (5) Business Days after written demand to such
Member or Responsible Member by Guarantors or
any other Member entitled to contribution or indemnity hereunder.
(d) Each of the Members hereby acknowledges and agrees that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Borrower LLC Agreement, any and
all payments made by the Members pursuant to the terms of Section 1(a) of this
Agreement (but not pursuant to Section 1(b) of this Agreement) shall be
considered voluntary additional Capital Contributions made by them to the
Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Borrower LP Agreement, provided however
that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Borrower LP Agreement, any
such voluntary additional Capital Contributions shall be repaid prior to any
other distributions being made under Article 8 of the Borrower LLC Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if (i) any MRP Guarantor
incurs any Liabilities under a Guaranty; (ii) such Liabilities are not ones with
respect to which MRP is the sole Responsible Member; (iii) MRP or at least one
of the applicable MRP Guarantors advises the Company and Investor promptly after
the occurrence thereof, of the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to
such Liabilities (in order to maximize whatever opportunity that the Company
has, if any, to take action to reduce, eliminate or satisfy such liability or
obligation directly; and (iv) any such MRP Guarantor(s) pay such Liabilities,
then Company shall reimburse such MRP Guarantor(s) for the entire amount of such
payment within thirty (30) days after notice from the MRP Guarantor certifying
compliance with each of the above requirements and requesting reimbursement from
the Company therefor (unless FRP shall, during such time period, provide notice
to the applicable MRP Guarantor that it disputes one or more of the statements
contained in the request, in which event the thirty (30) day period shall be
tolled until such dispute is resolved). In the event that the Company fails to
timely reimburse the MRP Guarantor as aforesaid, such MRP Guarantor may demand
contribution or indemnification, as applicable, from FRP pursuant to the
applicable provisions of this Agreement. If FRP fails to contribute the amount
required under this Agreement to pay or reimburse one or more of the MRP
Guarantors for Liabilities paid by them to the Lender as described in this
subsection, (A) such payment by the MRP Guarantor shall be deemed to have been
advanced by MRP to the Company as an Additional Capital Contribution under (and
as defined in) Section 6.2 of the Borrower LLC Agreement; (B) MRP shall be
deemed to be a Funding Member under (and as defined in) Section 6.3 of the
Borrower LLC Agreement; (C) Investor shall be deemed to be a Non-Funding Member
under (and as defined in) Section 6.3 of the Borrower LLC Agreement; and (D) MRP
shall have the right to select one (1) of the remedies noted in Section 6.3(b)
by notice delivered to the FRP.
(e) Each of the Members hereby acknowledges and agrees that any and
all payments made by Guarantors or the Responsible Members by application of the
terms of Section 1(b) of this Agreement shall not be considered additional
Capital Contributions made by them to the Borrower, and shall not be credited to
any such Responsible Member's Capital Account or included in determining any
Responsible Member's unreturned Capital Contributions (but any advance made by
Guarantors or a Non-Responsible Member, on behalf of a Responsible Member, for
Liabilities of the type described in this Section 1(b) shall be treated as
"Priority Loan" from such Member (or, if paid by Guarantors, by MRP) to the
Company, as defined in (and pursuant to) the Borrower LLC Agreement.
(f) All payments to be made by any party to another party hereunder
shall be
made in lawful currency of the United States, by wire transfer to an account
or accounts designated in writing by the party entitled thereto. If any
amount which is due and payable to Guarantors, Lender or any other Member
under this Agreement is not paid within five (5) Business Days after written
demand, then the unpaid amount shall bear interest from the earlier to occur
of (A) the date of such written demand, and (B) date any excess payments
were advanced by Guarantors or another applicable Member to Lender, until
the date such Member or Responsible Member, as applicable, has paid the full
amount due from him to Guarantors, Lender or such other Member (as
applicable). Such interest shall accrue and be payable at the same annual
rate of interest that applies to a Priority Loan under the Borrower LLC
Agreement.
SECTION 2. No Defenses to Performance. The obligations of the Members
under this Agreement shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms
contained herein, and in connection with the performance of its obligations

any lack of validity or enforceability of the Guaranty, or (ii) the existence of
any claim, set-off, defense or other rights that Guarantors or the Company may
have at any time against Lender or its successors and assigns as a defense or
excuse to such other Member's performance of its obligations under this
Agreement, unless (and only for so long as) Guarantors successfully assert such
