SECTION 3. NAMES, ADDRESSES, MEMBERSHIP
INTERESTS, AND CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF MEMBERS

3.1 Names and Addresses. The name and address of each Initial Member are set forth in Schedule 3.1.

3.2 Membership Interests. The “Membership Interest” of a Member is all of the Member’s rights and interests under this Agreement and all other rights and interests of a member of a limited liability company as set forth in the Act (subject to the terms of this Agreement), including the Member’s right to receive distributions under Section 7.1 and the Member’s Management Rights.

3.3 Initial Capital Contributions. As of the Effective Date, the Members have funded Capital Contributions to the Company in the amounts set forth on Schedule 3.3 attached hereto.

3.4 Additional Funding Requirement.

(a) (i) The Members shall have the sole and exclusive right to make Capital Calls in accordance with this Section 3.4(a). The Members may, at any time or times, require all of the Members to make additional cash capital contributions to the Company that the Members determine, in good faith, are necessary to fund any Necessary Expenditure in excess of available, unrestricted cash and to pay such Necessary Expenditure with the proceeds of such Capital Call. The Investment Committee shall notify all the Members in writing (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be via e-mail) of any Capital Calls made pursuant to this Section 3.4(a).

(ii) If any Member (or an Affiliate thereof) (“Funding Member”) funds any amounts (such amounts, the “Funded Amount”) under any Loan Guaranty, the Funding Member may give written notice of the funding of such Funded Amount and each of the other Members shall, within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, reimburse such Funding Member an amount equal to (x) such Funded Amount (together with any interest that has accrued thereon at the Member Loan Rate from the date of such notice) (the “Reimbursable Amount”) multiplied by (y) such Member’s Reimbursement Percentage (the “Required Reimbursement Amount”). If any Member timely reimburses the Funding Member the Required Reimbursement Amount as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, (i) the Member shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution in an amount equal to (x) the Reimbursable Amount multiplied by (y) the Member’s Percentage Interest (each, a “Funder Funded Amount”) and (ii) such Member shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution in an amount equal to the Required Reimbursement Amount. If any Member does not timely reimburse the Required Reimbursement Amount to the Funding Member (such amount not reimbursed, the “Unfunded Amount”) in accordance with the first sentence of this paragraph, then, for all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall be deemed to have made a Capital Call in the amount of the Reimbursable Amount, (ii) the Funding Member shall be deemed to have contributed capital to the Company pursuant to such Capital Call in an amount equal to the Funding Member’s Funded Amount, (iii) the Funding Member shall be deemed a Contributing Member with respect to such Capital Call and shall be deemed to have funded a Capital Advance equal to the Unfunded Amount, (iv) each Member that failed to reimburse the Unfunded Amount shall be deemed a Non-Contributing Member with respect to such Capital Call, and (v) the provisions of Section 3.4(b) shall apply to such deemed Capital Contributions and Capital Advance.

(b) Each Member’s pro rata share (based on its Percentage Interests) of a Capital Call is referred to herein as an “Additional Funding Requirement.” Each Member shall fund its Additional Funding Requirement of any such Capital Call within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice therefor from the Investment Committee (the “Contribution Period”). If any Member (each, a “Non-Contributing Member”) refuses or fails to make all or any portion of an Additional Funding Requirement on or prior to the expiration of the Contribution Period therefor (as such period may be extended in accordance with the preceding sentence), then such refusal or failure shall constitute a default by the Non-Contributing Member, and (A) if any Member shall be a Non-Contributing Member, then each of the other Members (each a “Contributing Member”), provided such Contributing Member shall have made its corresponding Additional Funding Requirement, and subject to the succeeding provisions of this Section 3.4(b), within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the relevant Contribution Period, may advance all or a portion of a Non-Contributing Member’s unpaid Additional Funding Requirement to the Company (a “Capital Advance”). If more than one Member desires to be a Contributing Member with respect to another Member’s failure to timely fund its Additional Funding Requirement, each such Member (provided the Contributing Member shall have made its corresponding Additional Funding Requirement) shall have the right to fund a portion of such Capital Advance pro rata in proportion to the relative Percentage Interests of such Contributing Members. In the event a Contributing Member makes a Capital Advance pursuant to this Section 3.4(b), then such Contributing Member may irrevocably elect either of the following:

(i) to treat the amount of the Capital Advance paid by such Contributing Member as a Capital Contribution by that Contributing Member, with the corresponding dilution of the Non-Contributing Member provided for in Section 3.5; or

(ii) to treat the entire amount funded by such Contributing Member attributable to such Contributing Member’s Additional Funding Requirement as a loan by such Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member (a “Member Loan”), which Member Loan shall (i) be treated as a demand loan made by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member and (ii) bear interest at the Member Loan Rate. Any Member Loan will be recourse only to the Non-Contributing Member’s Interest and must be repaid directly by the Company on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member as set forth in Section 7.6. Funds used to repay a Member Loan must be applied first to interest and then to principal. At any time before full repayment of any Member Loan, the Lender Member may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate that Member Loan and have the Non-Contributing Member’s Percentage Interest diluted as set forth in Section 3.5, with the entire outstanding principal treated as the amount of the Bonus Capital and the Capital Accounts of the Contributing and Non-Contributing Members adjusted as provided in Section 3.5. Each Member Loan may, at the election of the Lender Member, be evidenced by a promissory note in the form of Exhibit B, and that Lender Member is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute and deliver on behalf and in the name of the Debtor Member that promissory note and such Uniform Commercial Code financing and continuation statements and other security instruments reasonably requested by such Lender Member, as may be necessary to perfect and continue the security interest in favor of such Lender Member until such Member Loan is paid in full or converted as described below. The failure of a Lender Member or Debtor Member to execute the promissory note will not invalidate or otherwise affect the enforceability of, or amounts owing under, any Member Loan.

(c) An election by a Contributing Member pursuant to Section 3.4(b) to treat a Capital Advance (x) as a Capital Contribution by such Contributing Member with the corresponding dilution set forth in Section 3.5, as provided in Section 3.4(b)(i), or (y) as a Member Loan as provided in Section 3.4(b)(ii), shall in each case be made by the Contributing Member concurrently with the funding of such Capital Advance, by notice to the Non-Contributing Member and the Company. If a Contributing Member fails to provide notice to the Non-Contributing Member and the Company in accordance with this Section 3.4(c), such Contributing Member shall be deemed to have elected to treat its Capital Advance together with the amount funded by such Contributing Member with respect to the relevant Additional Funding Requirement as a Member Loan as provided in Section 3.4(b)(ii). In the event more than one Member is a Contributing Member, then each Member shall be required to make the same election pursuant to Section 3.4(b).

3.5 Adjustments to Percentage Interests.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Adjustment Event, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be adjusted as follows: (A) the Percentage Interest of each Contributing Member shall be adjusted so that it is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the sum of (x) such Member’s Initial Contribution Amount, plus (y) any additional Capital Contributions then or theretofore made or deemed made by such Contributing Member (including any Capital Advance

made by such Contributing Member pursuant to an election as provided in Section 3.4(b)(i) up to (and not in excess of) such Member’s Maximum Amount, plus (z) the product of (1) the Dilution Factor, multiplied by (2) such Contributing Member’s Bonus Capital, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions then or theretofore made or deemed made to the Company by all of the Members (including any Capital Advances made by the Members pursuant to an election as provided in Section 3.4(b)(i)), (B) the Percentage Interest of each Unadjusted Member shall remain unchanged (that is, each Unadjusted Member’s Percentage Interest is neither increased nor decreased) and (C) the Percentage Interest of each Non-Contributing Member shall be equal to such Non-Contributing Member’s pro rata portion (based on the relative Percentage Interests of all of the Non-Contributing Members) of the difference between (x) 100% and (y) the sum of (1) the aggregate Percentage Interests of all of the Contributing Members and (2) the aggregate Percentage Interests of all of the Unadjusted Members, in each case after giving effect to the provisions of this Section 3.5(a).

(b) If a Member’s Percentage Interest shall be reduced below 0.1% as a result of the operation of Section 3.5(a), then such Non-Contributing Member shall have no further right, title or interest in the Company and shall, upon the request of the Contributing Members, execute and deliver to the Contributing Members such documents of transfer and assignment, and such other instruments, as the Contributing Members shall reasonably request, to confirm that such Non-Contributing Member has no further right, title or interest in or to the Company, as a Member, manager or otherwise. Each Non-Contributing Member hereby grants to each Contributing Member an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute and deliver the documents of transfer and assignment and such other instruments referred to in the immediately preceding sentence. The Members hereby acknowledge to one another that because of the difficulty in calculating the damage that may result from the failure of a Member to fund its share of an Additional Funding Requirement the remedies set forth in this Section 3.5 have been approved by the Members as fair and reasonable.

(c) For so long as no Member has made Capital Contributions to the Company in excess of such Member’s Maximum Amount, the Percentage Interest of each Member shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions then or theretofore made or deemed made to the Company by such Member, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions then or theretofore made or deemed made to the Company by all of the Members.

3.6 Company Loans. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Member may make any contributions of capital or otherwise advance funds to the Company without the prior written consent of all Members.

3.7 Establishment of Capital Accounts. A capital account shall be established for each Member (a “Capital Account”) in the initial amount of that portion of such Member’s Capital Contribution which has been fully paid. Capital Accounts shall be determined and maintained in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). A Member’s Capital Account shall:

(a) be increased by:

(i) the amount of money contributed by the Member to the Company;

(ii) the fair market value of property (other than money) contributed by, or on behalf of, the Member to the Company determined as of the date of such contribution;

(iii) allocations to the Member of Profits (or items thereof); and

(iv) the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by the Member or secured by any Company property distributed to the Member.

(b) and decreased by:

(i) the amount of money distributed to or withdrawn by the Member;

(ii) the Book Basis of property (other than money) distributed to the Member by the Company determined as of the date of such distribution;

(iii) allocations of Company Losses (or items thereof); and

(iv) the amount of any liabilities of the Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by the Member to the Company.

(c) The Capital Account of each Member also shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect any other adjustment required pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-1 or 1.704-2, including, without limitation, the requirements set forth in Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).

(d) In the event a Member fails to make a Capital Contribution and pursuant to Section 3.4(b) another Member makes such contributions then the Capital Account balances of such Members shall be adjusted so that the Capital Account balances immediately after such adjustment (after taking into account all allocations of Profit and Loss and other items through the date of the adjustment as deemed appropriate by the Members) are equal as closely as possible to their respective Target Capital Accounts, after giving effect to the adjustments to the amounts distributable resulting from changes to the Percentage Interests and Capital Contributions made by the Members. For purposes of the preceding Target Capital Account means, with respect to any Member, as of any date, an amount equal to the hypothetical distribution such Member would receive with respect to its equity interests in the Company if all assets of the Company, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied (limited, with respect to nonrecourse liabilities to the Book Basis of the assets securing such liabilities) and the remaining proceeds were distributed pursuant to Section 7.1.

3.8 Transfers of Interests in the Company. Upon the Transfer of all or a part of an interest in the Company, the Capital Account of the transferor that is attributable to the transferred interest shall carry over to the transferee, and tax items for the Company taxable year of the Transfer shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee in accordance with Section 9.8.

3.9 Capital of the Company. Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall be entitled to withdraw or receive any interest or (except as otherwise expressly provided herein) 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.

3.10 Limited Liability of Members. No Member will be bound by, nor be personally liable for, the expenses, liabilities, indebtedness or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise. The provisions of Section 3.4 of this Agreement are intended solely to benefit the Members, and no Member has any obligation to any creditor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any Capital Contributions to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3.11 Guaranties. If one or more Members, but not all of the Members (or an Affiliate thereof) provides a Loan Guaranty that is in the nature of a payment guaranty (i.e. is not only an environmental indemnity or non-recourse carve-out guaranty), the Company shall pay to such Member a market-rate fee (to be agreed by the Members at the time any such Loan Guaranty is provided) for providing such Loan Guaranty, which fee shall be based on the guaranteed amount. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall obligate a Member of any Affiliate thereof to provide any Loan Guaranty.

SECTION 4. MANAGEMENT

4.1 Management by the Investment Committee.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the management and control of the business and affairs of the Company shall be vested in the Investment Committee. A member of the Investment Committee is hereby authorized to execute and deliver on behalf of the Company any and all documents, contracts, certificates, agreements and instruments, and to take any action and to do anything and everything such member of the Investment Committee deems reasonably necessary or appropriate for and on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law to consummate the Purchase Agreement and effect the Ground Lease.

None of the Members shall have authority to do (or to cause the Company to cause any of its Subsidiaries to do) or permit any of the Investment Committee Decisions (with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), or bind the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries or cause the Company to bind any of its Subsidiaries) as to any of the Investment Committee Decisions without first obtaining the approval of the Investment Committee, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted herein.

Each Appointing Party may appoint an alternate for any Committee Representative appointed by it to the Investment Committee, who shall have all the powers of a given Committee Representative in his absence or inability to serve.

For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no matter may be approved and no action taken by the Investment Committee without Required Committee Approval.

(g) (i) The Investment Committee shall meet required to vote on any Investment Committee Decisions. Special meetings of the Investment Committee may be called by any Committee Representative to propose and vote on Investment Committee Decisions upon not less than five (5) days’ prior written notice of time and place of such meeting; provided, however, that such notice requirement shall be deemed waived by any Committee Representative who is present (in person or by telephone) at the commencement of any such special meeting. Regular and special meetings may be held at any place as may be designated from time to time by any Committee Representative, including meetings by telephone conference. One (1) Committee Representative appointed by each of the HTH Member and the Diamond Member shall constitute a quorum for Investment Committee action with respect to any Investment Committee Decision, provided that if any member of the Committee Representative fails to attend five (5) consecutive meetings, then, until such Committee Representative attends a meeting, such Committee Representative shall not be needed to constitute a quorum for a meeting and such Committee Representative shall be deemed to have voted against any matter proposed at any such meeting.

4.4 Tax Matters Partner; Tax Returns. The HTH Member shall act as the Tax Matters Partner of the Company pursuant to § 6231(a)(7) of the Code. The Tax Matters Partner, in its capacity as such, is authorized, to the extent provided in Code §§6221 through 6231, but subject to the succeeding provisions of this Section 4.4, to represent the Company and the Members before taxing authorities or courts of competent jurisdiction in tax matters affecting the Company and its Members and to execute any agreements or other documents relating to or affecting such tax matters, including agreements or other documents that bind the Members with respect to such tax matters or otherwise affect the rights of the Company and its Members. The Tax Matters Partner shall not be liable to the Company or any Member for any action taken in

good faith and without gross negligence as Tax Matters Partner, including in connection with the examination by the Internal Revenue Service of the Company’s federal partnership tax return or the determination, protest or adjudication of any federal or state income tax liability of any Member resulting from the Company. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be construed to restrict or otherwise limit the other Members’ rights to participate at each Member’s own cost in any administrative or judicial proceeding in connection with any tax matters relating to the Company. Any direct or indirect costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner, acting in its capacity as such, shall be deemed costs and expenses of the Company, and the Company shall reimburse the Tax Matters Partner for such amounts.

4.5 Conduct of the Company.

(a) Subject to the respective rights and obligations of the Members to manage the Company under the terms of this Agreement, the Members agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with all requirements of applicable laws (including any directives or informal guidance provided by applicable regulatory authorities, whether through an examination process or otherwise).

4.6 Member Defaults.

(a) Within one hundred twenty (120) days of a Default, the non-Defaulting Member may: (x) deliver a Buy-Sell Notice to the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 13.1, or (y) deliver a Purchase Notice to the Defaulting Member in order to exercise the purchase option with respect to the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member pursuant to Section 9.5.

4.7 Regulatory Events.

(a) Regulatory Event Notices. If a Regulatory Event has occurred, then the HTH Member may, but is not obligated to, deliver to the other Members a written notice (a “Regulatory Event Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the occurrence and the nature of such Regulatory Event.

(b) Procedures. If a Regulatory Event Notice is given as provided above, then the Members agree to negotiate in good faith to restructure the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the agreements to which the Company and its Subsidiaries are a party in such a manner as may be required so that HTH Member determines that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the agreements to which the Company and its Subsidiaries would be in compliance with the terms of all applicable laws and regulations (whether applicable to the HTH Member or any of its Affiliates) and all policies and procedures implemented by such party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to all applicable law and regulations but which preserves the economic interests of the other Members under this Agreement to the extent possible. Nothing in this Section 4.7(b) shall require a Member to incur a loss (other than immaterial incidental expenses) or increase its regulatory risk or cost in connection with any restructuring contemplated by the preceding sentence or to otherwise suffer a material adverse effect.

(c) Forced Sale. In the event that a Regulatory Event Notice has been delivered and the Members do not enter into a restructuring that satisfies the requirements of Section 4.7(b), then the HTH Member shall thereafter be entitled to sell all of the Company Assets in accordance with Section 9.5.

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

5.1 Representations, Warranties and Covenants by the Members. To induce each Member to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, each of the Members, with respect to itself, hereby, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the other Members, their respective successors and assigns as follows:

(c) Neither the execution and delivery hereof, nor the taking of any actions contemplated hereby, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the provisions of, or constitute a default, event of default or event creating a right of acceleration, termination or cancellation of any obligation under any instrument, note, mortgage, contract, judgment, order, award, decree or other agreement or restriction to which such Member is a party, or by which such Member is otherwise bound.

(d) There is no claim, cause of action or other litigation or any judicial, administrative or investigative proceedings pending or, to the best of such Member’s knowledge, threatened against such Member that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the performance of such Member’s obligations hereunder.

(a) Each Member represents and warrants that (i) each Person owning a 10% or greater interest in such Member (A) is not currently identified on the List, and (B) is not a Person with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction, or other prohibition of United States law, regulation, or executive order of the President of the United States and (ii) such Member has implemented procedures, and will consistently apply those procedures, to ensure the foregoing representations

and warranties remain true and correct at all times. This Section 5.2(a) shall not apply to any Person to the extent that such Person’s interest in the Member is through either (A) a Person (other than an individual) whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange, or quoted on an automated quotation system, in the United States, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of such a Person or (B) an “employee pension benefit plan” or “pension plan” as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA.

(b) Each Member shall comply with all applicable requirements of law relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect and shall promptly notify the other Members in writing if any of the foregoing representations, warranties or covenants are no longer true or have been breached or if such Member has actual knowledge that they may no longer be true or have been breached.

(i) it has been advised to engage and has engaged its own counsel (whether in-house or external) and such other advisers as such Member deems necessary and appropriate; by reason of its business or financial experience, or by reason of the business or financial experience of such Member’s own attorneys, accountants and financial advisors who are not Affiliates of the Company or any other Member and who are not compensated, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any other Member or any Affiliate thereof, it is capable of evaluating the risks and merits of an investment in the Company and of protecting its own interests in connection with this investment (nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to allow any Member to rely upon the counsel acting for another Member or to create an attorney-client relationship between such counsel and such other Member);

(ii) it and each of its beneficial owners is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) and it is acquiring its Membership Interest for investment purposes for its own account only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution of all or any part of its Membership Interest;

(d) Each Member covenants and agrees not to take any action which may cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or otherwise cause the Company to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

SECTION 6. PROFIT AND LOSS

6.1 Allocations of Profits and Losses.

(a) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3, Profits and Losses with respect to any year shall be allocated to the Members such that each Member’s Capital Account balance (computed after taking into account all distributions with respect to such taxable period and increased by such Members’ share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain), would, as nearly as possible, be equal to the amount that each Member would receive if all of the remaining assets of the Company were sold for their Book Basis, all liabilities of the Company were satisfied (limited, with respect to nonrecourse liabilities, to the Book Basis of the assets securing such liabilities) and the remaining assets were distributed pursuant to Section 7.1, all as of the last day of the period for which the allocations are being made.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a), in any year in which the Company sells substantially all of its assets or liquidates (or in any prior open year if the Investment Committee reasonably believe it necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Section 6.1(b)), each Member shall be allocated Profits or Losses (or items thereof) to the extent necessary to cause its Capital Account balance to reflect the amount that will be distributable to such Member in liquidation of the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

6.2 Limitation on Loss Allocation. No allocation of Losses, or items thereof, will be made to any Member if such allocation would create or increase such Members’ Adjusted Deficits. Any such disallowed allocation will be made to the Members entitled to receive such allocation under the Section 704(b) Regulations. Any Member that would have a deficit balance in its Capital Account in excess of any amount such Member is obligated to restore, or is deemed obligated to restore under Regulation Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), will be specially allocated items of income and gain to eliminate such deficit balance as quickly as possible.

6.3 Special Allocations. (a) If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations § 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(g). If there is a net decrease in Member Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Non-Recourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain, including gross income, for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Non-Recourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(4). If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Regulations § 1.704-1 (b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6), items of Company income and gain, including gross income, shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible. Any Member Non-Recourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Non-Recourse Debt in accordance with Regulations § 1.704-2(i)(1). Non-Recourse

Deductions and any excess non-recourse liabilities (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.752-3(a)) for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Percentage Interests. To the extent an adjustment to the tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of the adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases basis), and the gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to that Section of the Regulations.

(b) The Members intend that the provisions of this Section 6 be interpreted in a manner that produces allocations that are respected under Section 704(b) of the Code and that, on liquidation of the Company, result in Capital Account balances that are consistent with the liquidating distributions required to be made pursuant to Section 11.3(a)(vi).

6.4 Tax Allocations. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each Company item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1, 6.2, and 6.3 hereof.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.4(a) hereof, Tax Items with respect to assets whose Gross Asset Value varies from its adjusted tax basis in the hands of the Company shall be allocated among the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation using any method selected in the reasonable determination of the Investment Committee.

SECTION 7. DISTRIBUTIONS

7.1 Distributable Cash.

(a) The Investment Committee shall determine the amount and timing of all distributions of the Distributable Cash of the Company; provided, however, that distributions of Distributable Cash, if any, shall be made no less frequently than quarterly. Unless all of the Members otherwise approve and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all distributions of Distributable Cash of the Company shall be applied as follows:

(i) First, to pay accrued and unpaid interest on, and thereafter principal of, Company Loans, in proportion to the aggregate balances of such accrued interest and principal, respectively;

(ii) Second, to the Members pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

7.2 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld by the Company pursuant to the Code or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation by the Company to the Members shall be treated as amounts distributed to the Members pursuant to this Section 7 for all purposes under this Agreement. The Company is authorized to withhold from distributions and to pay over to any federal, state or local government any amounts required

to be so withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state or local law and shall allocate any such amounts to the Members with respect to which such amounts were withheld.

7.3 Limitations on Distributions. Except as otherwise provided for in the Act, the Certificate or this Agreement, no Member shall have the right or power to demand or receive a distribution in a form other than cash and shall not be required or compelled to accept a distribution of any asset in-kind. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or the Certificate to the contrary, no distribution shall be made to a Member in violation of the Act.

7.4 Characterization of Certain Distributions. The Members acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, amounts payable, or payments made, to the Members in respect of Company Loans pursuant to Section 7.1 shall not be deemed or otherwise constitute (i) amounts which are distributable to the Members hereunder, or (ii) distributions made or deemed made to such Members hereunder.

7.5 Liquidation. Subject to Section 11 hereof, in the event of the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company Property, the Company shall be dissolved and the proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be distributed in liquidation as provided in Section 11.3, except that to the extent that the Company receives a purchase money note or notes in exchange for all or a portion of such assets, the Company shall continue in existence until such purchase money notes or notes have been paid in full.

7.6 Repayment of Member Loans. If, as a result of a Member Loan, any Member becomes a Debtor Member, then any distributions that would otherwise be payable to the Debtor Member pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 11.3 will instead be paid to the Lender Member or Members, first to pay any accrued interest (at the applicable Member Loan Rate) and then to pay the principal amount thereof, until these Member Loans (including any accrued and unpaid interest) are repaid in full. A Member Loan will be secured by a lien on the Debtor Member’s Membership Interest, and any Transferee of the Debtor Member’s Membership Interest will take that Membership Interest subject to the lien. If there are two or more Lender Members with respect to any Debtor Member, distributions under this Section 7.6 will be made pro rata to each Lender Member in proportion to the relative principal amount of Member Loans (including accrued and unpaid interest) that each Lender Member has outstanding as a percentage of total outstanding Member Loans made to the Debtor Member by all Lender Members. Any amounts distributed pursuant to this Section 7.6 will, for tax allocation and all other purposes of this Agreement, be treated as if they had been distributed to the Debtor Member, not the Lender Member or Members.

SECTION 8. ADDITIONAL AND SUBSTITUTE MEMBERS

8.1 Admission. Persons may be admitted as Additional Members or Substitute Members with the approval of, and upon the terms and conditions approved by, all of the Members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Person shall not become an Additional Member or a Substitute Member unless and until such Person:

(a) becomes a party to this Agreement as a Member by signing a counterpart hereof and executes such documents and instruments as the Members determine are necessary or appropriate to confirm such Person as a Member of the Company (including representations and warranties requested by the Company) and such Person’s agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions hereof;

(b) if the Person is not an individual, provides the Company with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Company of the authority of the Person to become a Member and to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

8.2 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 pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the Company 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.

SECTION 9. TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS

9.1 Restriction on Transfers.

(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, unless approved by all of the Members, no Member shall have the right or power to Transfer or Encumber or permit any Encumbrance of all or any part of such Member’s Membership Interest or cause or suffer the direct or indirect Transfer of, or Encumbrance on, all or any part of such Membership Interest.

(b) No Transfer of all or any part of the Membership Interest of a Member permitted to be made under this Agreement shall be binding upon the Company unless and until a duplicate original of such assignment or instrument of transfer, duly executed and acknowledged by the assignor or transferor, has been delivered to the Company, and such instrument evidences (i) the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the assignee’s representation that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and (iii) the unanimous consent of all of the Members to the Transfer of the Membership Interest unless such Transfer is pursuant to Section 9.2, Section 9.3, Section 9.4, Section 9.5, or Section 13.1, or such unanimous consent is otherwise not required pursuant to the express terms hereof.

(c) Any purported Transfer or Encumbrance in violation of this Agreement shall be void ab initio, and shall not bind the Company, and the Members making such purported Transfer, sale or assignment or Encumbrance shall indemnify and hold the Company and the other Members harmless from and against any federal, state or local income taxes, or transfer taxes, including, without limitation, transfer gains taxes, arising as a result of, or caused directly or indirectly by, such purported Transfer or Encumbrance. The giving of any consent to a Transfer or Encumbrance in any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the need for such consent in any other or subsequent instances.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, no Transfer shall be made if (i) registration is required under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in respect of such Transfer; (ii) such Transfer violates any applicable federal or state securities or comparable laws; or (iii) such Transfer will be subject to, or such Transfer, when aggregated with prior Transfers, in accordance with applicable law will result in the imposition of, any state, city or local transfer taxes, including, without limitation, any transfer gains taxes, unless such assignor pays such taxes.

9.2 Permitted Transfers.

(a) Member Permitted Transfers. A Transfer by a Member of all or any portion of its Membership Interests in the Company to a Member Permitted Transferee shall be permitted without the necessity of obtaining the approval of any other Member. Each such Member Permitted Transferee shall, upon becoming a member of the Company, represent, warrant and covenant to the other Members the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 (in each case as applied to such Member Permitted Transferee). Transfers or Encumbrances of indirect interests in the Member shall be permitted and in no event shall any such Transfer or Encumbrance require the approval of any Member hereunder or otherwise require compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 9.

9.3 Right of First Offer. Subject only to the terms of this Section 9.3 and Section 9.4, a Member shall be permitted to Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest (the “Subject Interest”) to any Proposed Purchaser (any such transaction, a “Disposition Transaction”), without restriction and without the necessity of obtaining any consents or approvals.

(a) If a Member desires to engage in a Disposition Transaction (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer described in Section 9.2 above) in respect of the Membership Interests in the Company, such Member (the “Offering Member”) shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to each of the other Members (“Offeree Members”), of the Offering Member’s desire to engage in said Disposition Transaction, which Offer Notice shall state the desired sale price (the “Proposed Price”) and the other desired material economic terms of such sale (the “Proposed Terms”). The Proposed Price and the Proposed Terms are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Offer Notice Parameters.”

(b) Within a period (“Response Period”) of thirty (30) days after the Offering Member gives the Offer Notice to the Offeree Members, each Offeree Member shall give notice (the “Response Notice”) to the Offering Member and each other Offeree Member that: (i) such Offeree Member will purchase the entire Subject Interest in cash for the Proposed Price and upon the Proposed Terms, or (ii) such Offeree Member will waive its right to purchase the Subject Interest pursuant to this Section 9.3. In the event that more than one Offeree Member (individually or collectively, the “Acquiring Offeree Members”) elects to acquire the entire Subject Interest, then the entire Subject Interest shall be acquired by the Acquiring Offeree Members on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as of the date of the Response Notice. In the event that no Offeree Member gives the Response Notice to the Offering Member prior to the end of the Response Period, the Offeree Members shall be deemed to have waived their right to acquire the Subject Interest pursuant to this Section 9.3 and the Offering Member shall be permitted to proceed in accordance with Section 9.3(c) below. If prior to the end of the Response

Period any one or more of the Offeree Members elect to acquire the Subject Interest, then, simultaneously with said election, the Acquiring Offeree Members shall deliver into escrow to a nationally recognized title insurance company, bank or trust company (which escrow agent shall be selected by the Offering Member) immediately available funds in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Proposed Price (the “ROFO Percentage”). The ROFO Percentage shall be held in escrow in an interest-bearing account for the benefit of the Offering Member if the Acquiring Offeree Members do not perform their obligations under this Section 9.3 (other than solely as a result of a default by the Offering Member in its obligation to deliver the Subject Interest to the Acquiring Offeree Members, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, against payment of the Proposed Price). If any of the Acquiring Offeree Members fail to deposit the ROFO Percentage as described above, then all the Acquiring Offeree Members will be conclusively determined to have made an election under clause (ii) above (provided that if any of the Acquiring Offeree Members default on their obligation to deposit their pro rata percentage of the ROFO Percentage, the other Acquiring Offeree Members shall have three (3) Business Days to deposit the amounts on behalf of the defaulting Acquiring Offeree Members). Any election made by the Acquiring Offeree Members to purchase the Subject Interest in accordance with this Section 9.3 shall not be subject to receipt by the Acquiring Offeree Members of representations and warranties and/or indemnification from the Offering Member (other than representations and warranties set forth in the form of assignment and assumption agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A). Each party shall bear its own legal fees and expenses in connection with any sale of the Subject Interest to the Acquiring Offeree Members pursuant to Section 9.3(d).

(c) In the event the Offering Member is not, pursuant to the preceding paragraph, obligated to sell the Subject Interest to the Offeree Members, the Offering Member shall have the right, subject to Section 9.4 and the further provisions of this Section 9.3(c), to consummate a Disposition Transaction (an “Offer Parameters Disposition Transaction”) with a Proposed Purchaser for not less than 100% of the Proposed Price, in cash, and otherwise on economic terms not materially more favorable to such Proposed Purchaser than the Proposed Terms (after taking into account any terms of such sale that are not customary in the market and that would require payments of liquidated sums or other contractually stipulated categories of expenses or other sums by the Offering Member that would effectively constitute a reduction of the Purchase Price), on or prior to the date which is six (6) months after the expiration of the Response Period (the “Sale Period”). If the Offer Parameters Disposition Transaction is not closed prior to the end of the Sale Period, then the Offering Member may not enter into a Disposition Transaction with respect to the Subject Interest without sending a new Offer Notice and otherwise complying with the provisions of Sections 9.3(a) and (b). If the Offer Parameters Disposition Transaction is closed on or prior to the end of the final day of the Sale Period, the Offeree Members’ rights under Section 9.3(a) shall terminate as to the Subject Interest and Section 9.3(a) will, as to the Subject Interest, be null, void and of no further force and effect. In furtherance of any of the foregoing, the Offeree Members each hereby agree to promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by the Offering Member to evidence its consent to the foregoing.

(d) If, prior to the expiration of the Response Period, the Acquiring Offeree Members elect to purchase the Subject Interest pursuant to Section 9.3(b) above and timely deposit the ROFO Percentage as required by Section 9.3(b) then the Offering Member shall sell and assign

the Subject Interest to the Acquiring Offeree Members, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, for the Proposed Price and on the Proposed Terms. The closing of such sale shall be held at the principal office of the Offering Member within sixty (60) days following the Acquiring Offeree Members’ exercise of their election to purchase the Subject Interest (the “Closing Period”) on a date designated by the Offeree Members by notice to the Offering Member at least ten (10) Business Days in advance (or, failing such designation, on the final day of the Closing Period or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day preceding such final day). At the closing of the Acquiring Offeree Members’ acquisition of the Subject Interest:

(i) the Offering Member shall assign and convey to the Acquiring Offeree Members the Subject Interest, free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, and each of the Offering Member and the Acquiring Offeree Members shall execute and deliver an assignment and assumption agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A;

(ii) any deed, documentary, stamp, transfer or similar taxes or fees due in connection with the sale shall be paid by or apportioned equally as between the buyer and seller, unless a different apportionment is included in the Offer Notice Parameters;

(iii) the Acquiring Offeree Members shall pay the Purchase Price, net of the ROFO Percentage, to the Offering Member by wire transfer, and the ROFO Percentage shall be paid to the Offering Member; and

(iv) the Members shall execute all amendments to fictitious name certificates, certificates of formation or similar certificates necessary to effect the withdrawal of the Offering Member from the Company (if applicable) and the substitution of the Acquiring Offeree Members or their designees for the Offering Member with respect to the Subject Interest.

(e) If any of the Acquiring Offeree Members defaults on its obligation to purchase the Subject Interest in accordance with Section 9.3(d), (i) the other Acquiring Offeree Members shall have three (3) Business Days to cure such default and if such default has not been cured at the end of such period, the ROFO Percentage shall be immediately paid to the Offering Member as liquidated damages and the Offeree Members shall thereafter have no further rights under this Section 9.3 with respect to any sale of all or any portion of the Offering Member’s Membership Interest and the Offering Member shall be free to sell all or any portion of its Membership Interest at any time without having to comply with this Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, and without having to obtain any consent or approval of any of the Offeree Members; (ii) the Offeree Members shall have no further liability or obligation to the Offering Member with respect to the purchase of the Subject Interest; (iii) the Offeree Members’ purchase option set forth in Section 9.3(b) shall be null, void and of no further force and effect; and (iv) the Offeree Members’ rights pursuant to Section 9.4 shall be null, void and of no further force and effect. If after the Acquiring Offeree Members have elected to purchase the Subject Interest as described above, the Offering Member defaults on its obligation to sell the Subject Interest to the Acquiring Offeree Members in accordance with this paragraph, the ROFO Percentage shall be immediately returned to the Acquiring Offeree Members and the Offering Member shall immediately pay to the Acquiring Offeree Members as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the ROFO Percentage.

The parties agree that, in connection with a default under this Section 9.3 by the Acquiring Offeree Members or the Offering Member, damages to the non-defaulting Member(s) will be difficult and impracticable to ascertain and the retention of the ROFO Percentage by the Offering Member, or the payment by the Offering Member to the Acquiring Offering Members of an amount equal to the ROFO Percentage, as the case may be, is a reasonable estimate of such damages from such default and shall not be considered a penalty. The costs of any escrow established by the Offering Member and the Acquiring Offeree Members to implement the terms and provisions of this Section 9.3 shall be shared by the parties according to their respective Percentage Interests

(f) In the event that an Acquiring Offeree Member becomes a majority owner of the Company as a result of the exercise of its right of first offer pursuant to this Section 9.3, the parties shall cooperate to cause Section 4 of this this Agreement to be amended to increase the management rights of such Acquiring Offeree Member accordingly; provided, however, as a condition of such amendment, the Offering Member (and all of its Affiliates) shall be concurrently released from any Loan Guaranty to which any of them is a party.

9.4 Tag-Along Rights. (a) In the event that (x) the Offering Member desires to sell all of its Membership Interests to any Proposed Purchaser other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer described in Section 9.2 above (such interest, the “Tag-Along Interest”), and (y) the Offeree Members have not elected to purchase (or are deemed to have elected not to purchase) such Tag-Along Interest pursuant to Section 9.3, then the Offering Member shall deliver written notice (the “Tag-Along Notice”) to each of the Offeree Members (which notice shall set forth the information required by Section 9.4(b)). Within thirty (30) days after delivery of such Tag-Along Notice, each Offeree Member shall notify the Offering Member if such Offeree Member elects to participate in the sale to the Proposed Purchaser in accordance with this Section 9.4, failing which, such Offeree Member will be deemed to have waived such participation right. If the Offeree Members waive or are deemed to have waived their rights under this Section 9.4 with respect to a proposed sale, the Offering Member may consummate the sale of the Tag-Along Interest to the Proposed Purchaser, provided that the Offering Member shall not be entitled to consummate the sale of the Tag-Along Interest to the Proposed Purchaser at a purchase price which exceeds 100% of the Proposed Price without again offering the Offeree Members the right to participate in such sale in accordance with the requirements of this Section 9.4. If the Offeree Members notify the Offering Member that all the Offeree Members elect to participate in the sale of the Tag-Along Interest, each Offeree Member shall be bound to sell to the Proposed Purchaser, at the Tag-Along Price, a portion of its Membership Interest equal to the product of (x) the total Membership Interests to be purchased by the Proposed Purchaser multiplied by (y) a fraction of which the numerator is the Percentage Interest of each such Offeree Member immediately prior to such sale, and the denominator is the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Offering Member and the Offeree Members immediately prior to such sale, and on the other terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice.

(b) The Tag-Along Notice shall set forth: (i) the name and address of the Proposed Purchaser, (ii) the proposed terms and conditions of the offer, including any representations and warranties to be made by the Offering Member and any indemnity obligations of the Offering Member, (iii) the Tag-Along Price, and (iv) a statement of the right of the Offeree Members to participate in the proposed sale on the terms applicable to the sale by the Offering Member and in accordance with this Section 9.4. For purposes hereof, “Tag-Along Price” shall mean, with respect to each Member, an amount equal to the amount such Member would receive

if all of the Company Assets were sold for the purchase price paid by the Proposed Purchaser, and then such amount was distributed to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement

(c) In connection with a sale of the Tag-Along Interest in which the Offeree Members participate pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Offeree Members will, if requested by the Proposed Purchaser, execute, deliver and perform agreements with the Proposed Purchaser relating to the sale containing terms that are substantially similar in all material respects to those contained in the comparable agreements to be executed, delivered and performed by the Offering Member.

9.5 Purchase Option/Obligation.

(a) Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the occurrence of a Member Default (such Member, the “Defaulting Member”), the Non-Defaulting Members may deliver notice to the Defaulting Member exercising their right to purchase the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member (such notice, a “Purchase Notice”), in which case the provisions of this Section 9.5 will apply; provided, however, that in no event shall the Non-Defaulting Members be permitted to deliver a Purchase Notice when the Property is under contract for sale and the consummation of such sale remains pending.

(b) If a Purchase Notice is delivered, the Non-Defaulting Members will have the obligation to purchase, and the Defaulting Member shall have the obligation to sell, the Membership Interests of the Defaulting Member on the following terms:

(i) The purchase price for the Membership Interests of the Defaulting Member (the “Purchase Price”) shall be determined pursuant to Section 9.5(d) below.

(ii) The closing of the sale of the Membership Interests of the Defaulting Member shall occur on a date designated by the Non-Defaulting Members, which date shall be no less than ten (10) Business Days following the determination of the Purchase Price and no more than ninety (90) days following the determination of the Purchase Price.

(i) In connection with such purchase, the Non-Defaulting Members will not be entitled to any representations, warranties or indemnification from the Defaulting Member (other than representations and warranties to the effect that (x) the Defaulting Member is duly organized and validly existing, (y) the Defaulting Member is duly authorized to effect the sale of its Membership Interests and (z) the Membership

Interests of the Defaulting Member are owned by the Defaulting Member and such Membership Interests are being transferred free and clear of all liens and encumbrances).

(ii) The Defaulting Member shall convey its Membership Interests to the Non-Defaulting Members free and clear of all liens upon payment of the Purchase Price. If the Defaulting Member has created or suffered any liens upon its Membership Interest, the Non-Defaulting Members may either (A) bring an action for specific performance to compel the Defaulting Member to have the liens removed, in which case the closing will be adjourned for that purpose, or (B) deduct an appropriate offset against the Purchase Price.

(iii) Each Person will bear its own legal fees and expenses for the purchase, except that the Defaulting Member shall pay for any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Non-Defaulting Members in removing liens on the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member.

(iv) The Transfer of the Membership Interests of the Defaulting Member will be evidenced by a written instrument in customary form provided by the Non-Defaulting Members.

(d) The “Purchase Price” shall be determined based on the fair market value of the Membership Interest of the Defaulting Member (which shall be determined based on the fair market value of the Property less any transfer costs which would be incurred if the Property were transferred via sale or otherwise) either by agreement of the Non-Defaulting Members and the Defaulting Member or, if the Non-Defaulting Members and the Defaulting Member do not reach agreement within 15 business days after delivery of the Purchase Notice, in accordance with the appraisal procedure set forth in Exhibit C.

9.9 Section 754 Election. At the request of either the transferor or transferee in connection with a Transfer of an interest in the Company permitted under this Section 9, the Tax Matters Partner may cause the Company to make the election provided for in § 754 of the Code and to maintain a record of the adjustments to basis resulting from the election. As a condition to making the election, any such transferee shall pay to or reimburse the Company immediately upon demand for any and all costs and expenses incurred by the Tax Matters Partner and the Company (as such costs and expenses are reasonably estimated by the Tax Matters Partner or the Company) in connection with the § 754 election and the maintenance of the basis adjustment records.

The Liquidating Trustee shall, to the extent feasible, proceed to wind up the affairs and liquidate the assets of the Company, as promptly as practicable, allowing a reasonable time for the process so as to minimize the losses that would normally be incidental to it. The Liquidating Trustee shall issue to all Members a final, accurate accounting of the affairs of the Company through the completion of the wind up of the Company; and no Member shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Company’s business and affairs.

11.5 Notice of Dissolution. If a Dissolution Event occurs and the Company is dissolved and liquidated, the Company shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Members and to all other parties with whom the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the Members) and shall comply with all applicable notice provisions of the Act.

11.6 Filing of Certificate of Cancellation. Upon the dissolution and complete winding up of the Company, a Certificate of Cancellation (or an equivalent instrument) shall be delivered to the Texas Secretary of State. Upon the filing of the Certificate of Cancellation, the existence of the Company shall cease, except for the purpose of suits, other proceedings and appropriate action as provided in the Act.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any other agreement, no Member or Affiliate thereof shall be obligated to submit any investment opportunity to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries even if such opportunity is of a character which, if submitted to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, could be availed of by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any Member or Affiliate thereof shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner, member or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any investment opportunity.

SECTION 13. BUY-SELL PROCEDURES

13.1 Buy-Sell.

(a) Buy-Sell Notice. In the event that (x) the Committee Members or Members are unable to unanimously agree on three (3) or more Decisions during any twenty-four (24) month period or (y) any Member is expressly permitted to deliver a Buy-Sell Notice pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then each of Member shall have the right to institute a buy-sell pursuant to the terms and procedures set forth in this Section 13.1 at any time within ninety (90) days following the fourth such dispute or the occurrence of the event that gave rise to such Member’s right to deliver a Buy-Sell Notice, as applicable. If a Member wishes to so institute a buy-sell, such Member (the “Triggering Member”) shall first deliver a written notice (the “Buy-Sell Notice”) to the other Members (the “Responding Member”) of the Triggering Member’s intent to rely on this Section 13.1 which Buy-Sell Notice shall state that the Triggering Member is making a combined offer to (x) purchase for cash all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interests of the Responding Member, or (y) sell for cash all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interests of the Triggering Member. The Buy-Sell Notice shall set forth the cash purchase price at which the Triggering Member would be willing to purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the Company Assets (the “Stated Amount”), and include a calculation of the amount the Triggering Member and the Responding Member would receive if the Company Assets were sold for the Stated Amount and the Stated Amount, less assumed transaction costs equal to five percent (5%) of the Stated Amount, were distributed to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the amount any Member would receive, such Member’s “Buy-Sell Price”).

(b) Reply Notice. The Responding Member shall have a period of fifteen (15) days (or, if the Buy-Sell Price for the Triggering Member’s Membership Interest is greater than $5,000,000, thirty (30) days) after the receipt of the Buy-Sell Notice within which to notify the Triggering Member in writing (each, a “Reply Notice”) whether such Responding Member shall (i) sell to the Triggering Member its Membership Interests for a purchase price equal to the Responding Member’s Buy-Sell Price, or (ii) purchase the Triggering Member’s Membership Interest for a purchase price equal to the Triggering Member’s Buy-Sell Price. In the event that a Reply Notice is not so given by a Responding Member prior to the expiration of the 15-day or 30-day period, as applicable, then it shall be conclusively presumed that such Responding Member elected to sell its Membership Interest to the Triggering Member pursuant to clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence.

(i) Within three (3) days (or, if the Buy-Sell Price for any Responding Member is greater than $5,000,000, fifteen (15) days) following the election or deemed election by any Responding Member to sell its Membership Interests pursuant to Section 13.1(b), the Triggering Member shall deliver into escrow to a nationally recognized title insurance company, bank or trust company (which escrow agent will be selected by the Triggering Member), to be held by the escrow holder pursuant to this Section 13.1, a cash deposit in an amount equal to the Buy-Sell Deposit Amount. If the Triggering Member shall fail to deliver such deposit, then the Buy-Sell Notice shall be deemed withdrawn and the rights and duties of the Members shall be as if the Buy-Sell Notice had never been given, except that the Triggering Member shall bear all costs and expenses resulting from the delivery and withdrawal of the Buy-Sell Notice.

(ii) As a condition to the effectiveness of the Reply Notice in which a Responding Member elects to purchase the Triggering Member’s Membership Interests pursuant to Section 13.1(b), such Responding Member shall, within three (3) days (or, if the Buy-Sell Price for the Triggering Member’s Membership Interest and the selling Responding Member’s Membership Interest is greater than $5,000,000, fifteen (15) days) following delivery of such election. deliver into escrow to a nationally recognized title insurance company, bank or trust company (which escrow agent will be selected by such Responding Member), to be held by the escrow holder pursuant to this Section 13.1(c), a cash deposit in an amount equal to the Buy-Sell Deposit. If a Responding Member fails to deliver the Buy-Sell Deposit Amount, then such Responding Member shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Membership Interests pursuant to clause (i) of Section 13.1(b) above.

(iii) For purposes hereof, the “Buy-Sell Deposit Amount” shall mean with respect to the Membership Interests of any Member, 10% of the Buy-Sell Price for such Membership Interest.

(d) Consummation of Buy-Sell; Default.

(i) The purchase and sale of Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 13.1 shall be closed on or before the thirtieth (30th) day (or, if the Buy-Sell Price

for the Membership Interests being sold is greater than $5,000,000, the sixtieth (60th) day) following the election or deemed election of the Responding Member pursuant to Section 13.1(c), as applicable. In connection with any such sale by a Member, (x) the selling Member and the purchasing Member shall enter into an instrument of assignment in customary form that transfers the entire Membership Interest of the selling Member to the purchasing Member, which instrument shall include a representation from the selling Member that it is transferring the Membership Interest free and clear of all liens, claims or other encumbrances, (y) any transfer taxes and recording or documentary stamp taxes and similar taxes and fees shall be an expense of and paid by the selling and purchasing Member in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests and (z) each of the selling Member and the purchasing Member shall otherwise be responsible for its own out-of-pocket costs and expenses relating to such Transfer.

(ii) If any Member is obligated under this Section 13.1 to purchase the Membership Interest of any other Member and fails to do so and the failure to purchase such Membership Interest is not caused by the actions or inactions of the selling Member or the inability of the selling Member to convey its Membership Interest to the purchasing Member free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances, then in addition to any other remedies available to it, the non-defaulting selling Member shall be entitled to retain, as liquidated damages, the Buy-Sell Deposit Amount delivered to it as a deposit by the defaulting purchasing Member under Section 13.1(d)(i), it being agreed that the amount represents a fair and equitable estimate of the damages to be suffered by the non-defaulting Member in those circumstances and that actual damages would be highly impracticable to determine.

(iii) If a Member is obligated under this Section 13 to sell its Membership Interest to any other Member and fails to do so and the failure to sell such Membership Interest is not caused by the actions or inactions of the purchasing Member, then (in addition to having any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity to the non-defaulting purchasing Member(s)) (w) the defaulting selling Member shall return to the non-defaulting purchasing Member the Buy-Sell Deposit Amount delivered to it as a deposit by the defaulting Member under Section 13.1(c), (x) the purchasing Member shall have the right to seek any remedies available to it at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance, in respect of such default (and to collect from the selling Member the costs incurred in seeking such remedies), and (y) the purchasing Member shall have the right to execute and deliver, on behalf of the selling Member, all documents necessary to transfer the Membership Interest from the selling Member to the purchasing Member and the selling Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the purchasing Member as the selling Member’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute and to deliver for and on the selling Member’s behalf, all such documents.

(iv) If any Member is obligated under this Section 13.1 to purchase the Membership Interests of any other Member, such Member shall (x) obtain any required consents of lenders with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary and releases of the selling Member(s) and its Affiliates from any Guaranty delivered by any of the foregoing to such lenders or (y) otherwise repay or defease such Indebtedness

in full simultaneously upon the closing of the purchase pursuant to this Section 13.1. The failure to obtain any lender consent shall be deemed a default by the purchasing Member(s) of its obligations under this Section 13.1 and shall entitle the non-defaulting Member(s) to the remedies set forth in clause (ii) above.

(e) Designee. Any Member acquiring the Membership Interest of another Member pursuant to this Section 13.1 may designate another Person to acquire such Membership Interest.

(f) Exclusion. No Member shall be entitled to deliver a Buy-Sell Notice at any time when the buy-sell procedures set forth in Section 13.1 are continuing in respect of another Buy-Sell Notice.

The Company shall maintain books and records and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; shall at all times hold itself out to the public as a legal entity separate and distinct from any of its Affiliates (including in its operating activities, in entering into any contract, in preparing its financial statements, and on its stationery and any signs it posts), and shall cause its Affiliates to do the same and to conduct business with it on an arm’s-length basis; shall not commingle its assets with assets of any of its Affiliates; shall not guarantee any obligation of any of its Affiliates; and shall keep minutes of all meetings of the Members.

14.15 Arbitration.

(a) Arbitration is the exclusive method for resolution of any claims or disputes arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement or the business or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the determination of the arbitrators will be final and binding (except to the extent there exist grounds for vacation of an award under applicable arbitration statutes) on the Members.

(i) The parties agree that they will give conclusive effect to the arbitrators’ determination and award and that judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

(ii) The American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) Commercial Arbitration Rules will apply to any proceedings commenced under this Section 14.15.

FORM OF MEMBER LOAN NOTE

PROMISSORY NOTE

$[·]

[·], 20[·]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, [INSERT NAME OF THE DEBTOR MEMBER], a [INSERT TYPE OF ENTITY] (the “Maker”), does hereby promise to pay to [INSERT NAME OF FUNDING MEMBER], a [INSERT TYPE OF ENTITY] (the “Payee”), or its order, at its offices in [·], or such other address as may be duly designated by the holder of this Note, [·] ($[·]), with interest thereon at the rate equal to [·] percent ([·]%) per annum. The principal amount of the loan together with any interest thereon is payable on the Maturity Date (as defined below).

“Business Day” means a day upon which banks in Texas are not authorized or required by law to be closed.

“Maturity Date” means the earliest of the date on which (i) the final liquidating distribution by the Company and (ii) any sale of the Maker’s Interest is completed.

1. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning set forth in the Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) of [ ] (the “Company”), dated as of [ ].

2. Interest due on this Note is calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed prior to the Maturity Date and shall be compounded monthly.

3. This Note evidences a Member Loan made by Payee to Maker pursuant to Section 3.4 of the LLC Agreement. This Note may be prepaid at any time by the Maker in whole or in part at the election of the Maker, in an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued interest.

4. The Maker hereby authorizes the Company to (i) make any and all distributions that would otherwise be payable to the Maker by the Company pursuant to Articles 7 and 11 of the LLC Agreement and (ii) pay any and all proceeds which would otherwise be payable to the Maker from, and upon the closing of, any sale of the Maker’s Interest in the Company, directly to the Payee and any other Members that have made Member Loans to the Maker (to be split among them pro rata in accordance with the relative amounts of such Member Loans to the Maker) until such time as the obligations evidenced by this Note have been paid in full.

5. If the Maker fails to repay this Note on the Maturity Date, the Maker shall reimburse the holder of this Note for all of its costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this Note, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The obligations of the Maker hereunder shall be recourse only to the Maker’s Interest in the Company.

6. This Note may be discharged, terminated, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such discharge, termination or modification is sought.

7. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Maker hereby waives diligence, presentment, protest and demand, notice of protest, dishonor and nonpayment of this Note and expressly agrees that, without in any way affecting the liability of the Maker hereunder, the holder hereof may extend the time for payment of any amount due hereunder, accept additional security, release any party liable hereunder or any security now or hereafter securing this Note, without in any other way affecting the liability and obligation of the Maker or any other person.

8. No failure by the holder hereof to insist upon the strict performance of any term hereof or to exercise any right, power or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof will constitute a waiver of any such term or of any such breach. No waiver of any breach will affect or alter this Note, which will continue in full force and effect, nor will such waiver affect or alter the rights of the holder hereof with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach. The acceptance by the holder hereof of any payment hereunder that is less than payment in full of all amounts due at the time of such payment will not, without the express written consent of the holder hereof: (i) constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of such holder’s remedies at that time or at any subsequent time, (ii) constitute an accord and satisfaction, or (iii) nullify any prior exercise of any remedy.

9. No acceptance of a past due payment or indulgences granted from time to time may be construed (i) as a novation of this Note or as a reinstatement of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or as a waiver of such right of acceleration or of the right of the holder hereof thereafter to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Note, or (ii) to prevent the exercise of such right of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by law.

10. In case any one or more of the provisions of this Note are determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

11. Nothing contained in this Note or elsewhere may be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the holder hereof and the Maker or between the holder hereof and any other person, or cause the holder hereof to be responsible in any way for the debts or obligations of the Maker or any other person.

12. It is hereby expressly agreed that, if from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of this Note, at the time performance of such provision will be due, violates any applicable usury statute or any other law, then ipso facto such provision will be conformed to comply with such statute or law. In no event shall the Maker be bound to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of the money lent pursuant hereto, interest of more than the current legal limit; the right to demand any such excess being hereby expressly waived by the holder hereof.

13. THIS NOTE IS MADE UNDER AND IS TO BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CHOICE-OF-LAW RULES.

14. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Note may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of Texas. By execution and delivery hereof, the Maker hereby accepts for itself and in respect of property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts. Nothing herein, however, shall affect the right of the holder hereof to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

15. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING, THE MAKER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY, AND THE MAKER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS. SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE MADE BY THE PAYEE ON THE MAKER BY MAILING A COPY OF THE SUMMONS AND ANY COMPLAINT TO THE MAKER, BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.

EXHIBIT C

Appraisal Procedure

If at the end of the 15-business day period specified in Section 9.5(d), there is disagreement between the Members and the Defaulting Member on the fair market value of the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interest under Section 9.5, the following appraisal procedure shall apply:

1. Either the Members or the Defaulting Member (each, a “party”) may invoke this appraisal procedure by giving a notice to the other party of the appointment of an appraiser. The other party shall have 10 business days after the notice of appointment of the first appraiser to appoint an appraiser by notice to the first appointing party. If the other party fails to give a notice of appointment within such 10-day period, then the other party shall lose its right to appoint an appraiser.

2. No discounts shall be taken for any reason, including without limitation discounts for minority interest and lack of marketability.

3. If only one appraiser is appointed in accordance with the foregoing, the sole appraiser shall make a determination of fair market value in writing and shall give notice to the Members and the Defaulting Member of such determination.

4. If two appraisers are appointed in a timely manner, the two appraisers shall conduct such meetings as they may deem appropriate, shall make their determination of fair market value in writing and shall give notice to the Members and the Defaulting Member of such determination. If the two appraisers are unable to reach agreement on fair market value within 30 days after the appointment of the second appraiser, each appraiser shall notify the Members and the Defaulting Member of the determination of fair market value made by such appraiser. If the higher of the two determinations is within 10% of the lower, then fair market value shall be equal to the average of the two fair market values so determined.

5. If the higher of the two determinations is not within 10% of the lower and the parties do not themselves reach agreement on fair market value within 10 business days after their receipt of both determinations, either of the parties may, by notice to the two appraisers, instruct the two appraisers to designate a third appraiser. Within 10 business days after any such instruction, the two appraisers shall make such appointment and notify the Members and the Defaulting Member.

6. If the two appraisers fail to appoint a third appraiser within the specified period for appointment, then the Members shall designate a third appraiser from a list of at least three potential appraisers provided by the two appraisers within two business days after the end of the 10-day period for agreement by the appraisers on fair market value. If the two appraisers do not agree on and provide such a list to the Members within such period of two business days, the Members shall designate a third appraiser from a separate list of at least three potential appraisers provided to the Members by the appraiser appointed by the Defaulting Member or, if such appraiser does not provided a separate list to the Members within such period of two business days, from a separate list of at least three potential appraisers provided to the Members by the appraiser appointed by the Members.

7. The third appraiser shall review the written reports of the initial two appraisers and issue a written report selecting one of the appraisals made as the fair market value of the Defaulting Member’s Membership Interests within 30 days after appointment of the third appraiser.

8. Fair market value determined in accordance with the provisions of this appraisal procedure shall be final and binding for the intended purpose under the Agreement.

9. All appraisers appointed in accordance with this appraisal procedure shall be members of a recognized national appraisal organization. Each person acting as the appraiser (or, if the appraiser is an appraisal firm, heading up the appraisal on behalf of the appraisal firm) shall have had at least 10 years’ experience in the business of appraising businesses of the Company’s type and size and, in addition, shall have experience in the business then being conducted by the Company. Specifically, any appraiser shall be experienced in appraising real property and real estate holding companies.

10. The Members and the Defaulting Member shall each pay all fees and expenses of any appraiser appointed by the Members and the Defaulting Member, applicable, and one-half of all fees and expenses of any third appraiser.
