10	ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

10.1

Save as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, none of the Shareholders shall be required to make any loans to, purchase additional CPECs or subscribe for any shares of either the Company or its Subsidiary Undertakings nor to provide guarantees, indemnities or other security for the obligations of the Company or its Subsidiary Undertakings.

10.2

The Board (after consultation with the Property Manager and/or Asset Manager) may issue a request for additional capital contributions to fund capital expenditure, tenant improvements, lender funding requirements and similar costs (“Additional Capital Contributions”). Each Shareholder shall have the option to fund their Agreed Proportion of each of the Additional Capital Contributions within 20 days after the written request from the Board. In the event that one Shareholder fails to contribute its proportion of the requested Additional Capital Contribution (the “Shortfall Amount”) when required, the other Shareholder (the “Contributing Shareholder”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to fund the Shortfall Amount by subscribing for additional Shares and relevant CPECs. If the Contributing Shareholder elects to fund the Shortfall Amount by subscribing for additional Shares and relevant CPECs, the Shares and CPECs shall be issued in the same relative proportions as the existing Shares and CPECs in issue (which, for information only, is intended to be 1 Share to every 99 CPECs following Property Completion) at a subscription price equal to their nominal value.

10.3

If both Shareholders fail to fund their Additional Capital Contribution, or if one Shareholder fails to fund and the Contributing Shareholder elects not to fund the Shortfall Amount within ten Business Days of the due date for the Additional Capital Contribution, the Board shall source on behalf of the Company debt financing or make such other arrangements as are necessary to pay for the Shortfall Amount (including, if third party debt financing is not available on reasonable terms, a loan to the Company from a Shareholder (or an Associate) on terms which are no less favourable to the Company than those available from other lenders) with terms such that the financing arrangement would not be treated as a security under Section 856(m) of the Code.

10.4

Any Shares and CPECs issued by the Company pursuant to this Clause 10 in respect of Additional Capital Contributions (or any Shortfall Amount) shall be of the class or classes that relate to the Subsidiary Undertaking(s) (or the relevant asset(s) within the Subsidiary Undertaking(s) if applicable) for which the monies obtained from the Additional Capital Contribution shall be used. If the Additional Capital Contributions are not to be applied to one or more particular Subsidiary Undertakings or assets represented by specific classes of Shares and CPECs, then Shares and CPECs of all classes shall be issued pro rata to the number of each class already in existence prior to the Additional Capital Contribution being made. Furthermore, only A classes of Shares and/or CPECs shall be issued to the A Shareholder and only B classes of Shares and/or CPECs shall be issued to the B Shareholder.

13.2	All repurchases, redemptions and conversions of CPECs and all repurchases and redemptions of Shares and any other returns of capital shall be undertaken pro rata between the Shareholders unless the parties agree otherwise.

13.3

No distributions of Available Cash Flow or Available Capital Proceeds shall be made by the Company to any Shareholder except in accordance with the 1915 Law and to the extent that such distribution would or might, in the reasonable opinion of the Board, leave the any member of the Group with insufficient funds for general working capital purposes, to meet liabilities as they fall due or to enable the Company to create and maintain (or increase) a reserve such that it can meet the liabilities (present or future, actual or contingent) of the Group as they fall due or are expected to fall due.

14	BUY-SELL RIGHT

14.1

At any time after the second anniversary of the date of Property Completion, either Shareholder (the actual Shareholder giving such notice being herein called the “Electing Shareholder”), shall have the option (“Buy-Sell Right”) to cause to occur the buy-sell rights under this Clause 14.1 by giving written notice (“B/S Notice”) thereof to the other Shareholder (the Shareholder receiving such notice being herein called the “Non-electing Shareholder”). No notice may be given by any Shareholder at any time that (a) further to Clause 11.1(e), the exercise thereof would constitute a default with respect to any third party indebtedness of the Company (unless the holder thereof has waived such default or the Electing Shareholder in its notice states such indebtedness will be paid in full and demonstrates it has the financial means to do so); or (b) a Sale Notice pursuant to Clause 17.1 or a Forced Sale Notice in respect of the whole of the Property (but not less than the whole of the Property) pursuant to Clause 18.2 has already been issued until such time as the Sale Notice or Forced Sale Notice shall expire without the applicable sale having taken place. The B/S Notice shall set forth an all cash price which the Electing Shareholder is prepared to pay for all of the Non-Electing Shareholder’s Interests (“Price”). The Shareholders agree to reasonably cooperate in making available information about the Group and/or the Property during the pendency of any proceedings under this Clause 14.1. Additionally, the B/S Notice shall also disclose all written offers, letters of intent, term sheets and other indications of interest in the Property or such Shareholder’s Shares that have been received by the Electing Shareholder within the period which is 12 months prior to the delivery of the B/S Notice. The Non-electing Shareholder shall then decide whether: (1) the Electing Shareholder will buy all of the Interests of the Non-electing Shareholder; or (2) the Non-electing Shareholder will buy all of the Interests of the Electing Shareholder. If the Non-electing Shareholder does not give to the Electing Shareholder written notice of selecting option (1) or (2) within 40 Business Days of the date of the B/S Notice, then the Electing Shareholder may within 20 Business Days after the expiration of such 40 Business Day period either withdraw its exercise of the Buy-Sell Right or give written notice of such failure to the Non-electing Shareholder (failing which, the exercise shall be deemed withdrawn) and, if the Non-electing Shareholder has not elected (1) or (2) within a further 10 Business Days after notice of its failure to provide a response to the Electing Shareholder, then the Non-electing Shareholder will be deemed to have selected option (1), which is to have the Electing Shareholder buy all of the Interests in the Company of the Non-electing Shareholder. Within 40 Business Days after the determination of whether the Electing Shareholder or the Non-electing Shareholder will buy under option (1) or (2), the Shareholders shall be obligated to complete such purchase and sale for the Price (subject to pro rata adjustment based on each Shareholder’s relative Interests on the date of the B/S Notice, with such adjusted Price being referred to herein as the “Closing Sum”). Within 3 Business Days after the determination of which Shareholder is the purchasing Shareholder, the purchasing Shareholder shall be obligated to deposit with Barclays Bank plc (or its successor) or such other financial escrow institution reasonably approved by the non-purchasing Shareholder as escrow agent (“Escrow Agent”), a cash deposit (“Deposit”) equal to two percent (2%) of the Closing Sum as security for its obligation to complete the purchase. During the pendency of proceedings under this Clause 14.1, no Shareholder shall make any transfer any of its Interests in the Company other than pursuant to the Buy-Sell Right that instituted such proceedings.

14.2

The closing of the purchasing Shareholder’s purchase of the other Shareholder’s Interests shall be held at the offices of the purchasing Shareholder’s solicitors (or such other place as agreed by the parties) on such Business Day within the 40 Business Day period as the parties may agree for completing the purchase and sale referred to in Clause 14.1 above (and in the absence of agreement on the last Business Day of such period). Pending the closing, the Board shall cause the business of the Company and the Subsidiary Undertakings to be conducted in the ordinary course and shall not pay or incur any costs, expenses or obligations or accelerate or defer the receipt of any revenues in such a way as to cause the Company’s cash flow or the operating expenses or Company or any liabilities of the Company’s Subsidiary Undertakings as of the Closing Date to be materially different from what such would have been as of such date in the absence of the purchase and sale pursuant to this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ). At the closing:

(a)

the purchasing Shareholder shall pay to the non-Purchasing Shareholder the Closing Sum (less the amount of the Deposit, which shall be applied to the Closing Sum) by wire transfer of immediately available funds prior to 2:00 p.m. London, England local time. All costs and expenses in connection with any closing shall be paid by the Shareholder incurring such costs and no deductions shall be made from the Closing Sum for deemed closing costs;

(b)	the non-purchasing Shareholder shall transfer to the purchasing Shareholder or its or their nominees, with full title guarantee, all of the Interests of the Company owned by the non-purchasing Shareholder, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances; and

(c)	the non-purchasing Shareholder and the purchasing Shareholder shall execute and deliver such other documents as may be reasonably necessary to carry out such transaction.

14.3	In the event that the purchasing Shareholder shall default in its obligation to consummate the purchase contemplated by this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ), then the non-purchasing Shareholder shall, at its option, have the right to:

(a)	be the purchasing Shareholder on the same terms and provisions as were applicable to the purchase that the defaulting Shareholder failed to close;

(b)	abandon the purchase and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages for the sale contemplated by this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ) and carry forward as if the Buy-Sell Right had not been exercised; or

(c)	if it had not been the Electing Shareholder with respect to the Buy-Sell Right that the purchasing Shareholder failed to consummate, then to institute the Buy-Sell Right itself (which may be, but is not required to be, for a different Price).

If the non-purchasing Shareholder shall not have used one or more of the options described in the paragraphs (a) through (c) of this Clause 14.3 within three months after the default by the purchasing Shareholder, then the non-purchasing Shareholder shall be deemed to have elected option (b); provided, however, that either Shareholder shall thereafter be entitled to exercise a new Buy-Sell Right, except that the defaulting purchasing Shareholder shall not be able to exercise a new Buy-Sell Right sooner than two years after the default by the purchasing Shareholder.

14.4	In the event the non-purchasing Shareholder shall default in its or their obligations to consummate the purchase contemplated by this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ), then the purchasing Shareholder may:

(a)	abandon the purchase and sale contemplated by this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ) and carry forward as if the Buy-Sell Right had not been exercised, in which event the non-performing Shareholder shall be obligated to return the Deposit to the purchasing Shareholder;

(b)	enforce specific performance of the sale contemplated by this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ), or

(c)	exercise any remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity.

If the purchasing Shareholder shall not have used one or more of the options described in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) of this Clause 14.4 within three months after the default by the non-purchasing Shareholder, then the purchasing Shareholder shall be deemed to have elected option (a); provided, however, that either Shareholder shall thereafter be entitled to exercise a new Buy Sell Right, except that the defaulting non-purchasing Shareholder shall not be able to exercise a new Buy-Sell Right sooner than two years after the default by the non-purchasing Shareholder.

14.5

From and after the consummation of any purchase and sale pursuant to this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ) the non-purchasing Shareholder shall have no obligation or liability (except for title warranties) with respect to matters pertaining to the Company or the Subsidiary Undertakings arising from and after the Closing Date.

14.6

Notwithstanding anything in this Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ) to the contrary, in no event shall a Shareholder be permitted to exercise a Buy-Sell Right at any time after a contract shall be entered into in the name of the Company to sell the Property (or part therof). In the event that the sale of the Property shall fail to close and any such contract shall terminate, then the Shareholders shall again have the right to exercise the Buy-Sell Right subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

15	TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

15.1	No Shareholder may transfer any Interests except in accordance with:

(a)	in the case of Shares, the Articles;

(b)	in the case of CPECs the terms of the relevant instrument constituting the same; and

(c)	Clause 14 (Buy-Sell Right ), Clause 16 (Permitted transfers ), Clause 17 (Pre-emption on the transfer ) and any purported transfer in breach of this Clause shall be of no effect.

15.2

References in Clause 15.1 to a transfer of any Interest includes a transfer or grant of any interest in, or right in respect of, any Interest, whether by way of sale, gift, holding on trust, or in any other way, and whether at law or in equity, and also includes an agreement to make any such transfer or grant or to exercise the voting rights attaching to a Share at the direction of any third party, but shall not include the grant of an interest by way of charge, mortgage or pledge to a bona fide funder of that Shareholder, or an agreement to grant such an interest.

16	PERMITTED TRANSFERS

16.1	A transfer of any Interest may be made only in whole and not in part and at any time in each of the following cases:

(a)	for cash consideration and with the prior written consent of all the Shareholders for the time being of the Company; or

(b)	a transfer to a company which is an Associate of the transferor.

16.2	Subject always to the provisions of Clauses 16.4 and 16.5, if a Shareholder intends to transfer any Interests by reason of Clause 16.1(b), the Shareholders shall procure the passing of the requisite resolution of the Company approving such transfer.

16.3

If a holder of Interests acquired any Interests by reason of Clause 16.1(b) it shall, immediately prior to it ceasing to be an Associate of the original transferring Shareholder, transfer the Interests back to the original transferring Shareholder or to another Associate of the original transferring Shareholder.

16.4	To ascertain whether a proposed transferee is a permitted transferee, the Managers nominated by the non-transferring Shareholder(s) may require the transferor or the transferee to provide such information as they may reasonably specify.

16.5	The Board may refuse to register a transfer which purports to be a permitted transfer so long as replies which are reasonably satisfactory in relation to a request for information under Clause 16.4 have not been received.

17	PRE-EMPTION ON THE TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

17.1

A Shareholder who wishes to transfer the legal and beneficial interest in all (but not part only) of the Interests registered in its name (the “Seller”) to a bona fide third party shall first give a written notice of such intention to the Administrative Manager and the other Shareholders (a “Sale Notice”). No Sale Notice under this provision may be given by a Shareholder prior to 1 July 2014.

17.2	The Sale Notice shall:

(a)	specify the number of Shares and CPECs registered in the name of the Seller (the “Seller’s Interests”);

(b)	specify the cash price per individual Share and CPEC at which the Seller’s Interests are to be offered for sale, being the price offered by the bona fide third party (the “Offer Price”);

(c)	specify the identity of the third party who has indicated a willingness to buy the Seller’s Interests (the “Proposed Purchaser”) and (if it is a body corporate) the person(s) believed by the Seller to control that company;

(d)	be accompanied by a copy of any written offer, heads of terms, letter of intent or other written communication from the Proposed Purchaser setting out the proposed purchase price for the Seller’s Interests.

17.3

Provided the other Shareholders approve the identity of the Proposed Purchaser (such approval only to be withheld if the other Shareholders reasonably believe the Proposed Purchaser to be of inadequate financial standing regarding the outstanding financial obligations under this Agreement), the Sale Notice shall appoint the Administrative Manager as the Seller’s agent for the sale of the Seller’s Interests and once given may not be withdrawn or varied.

17.4

The Administrative Manager shall, within three Business Days of receipt of the Sale Notice offer the Seller’s Interests in writing to the other Shareholder (the “Offer”). The Offer shall specify such information as is contained in the Sale Notice and shall provide that if the offeree does not accept the Offer in respect of the Interests offered within 20 Business Days of the Offer being made (the “Acceptance Period”), it shall be deemed to have declined it but that, if it does accept, it shall not be entitled to withdraw its acceptance except as provided in this Clause 17 (Pre-emption on the transfer ).

17.5	If the Offer is accepted within the Acceptance Period, the Administrative Manager shall, as soon as practicable (and in any event within ten Business Days), give notice to the Seller who shall be required to complete the sale and purchase in accordance with Clause 17.6.

17.6

Completion of the sale and purchase of the Seller’s Interests shall take place within forty Business Days after the giving of a notice under Clause 17.5. At completion of the sale and purchase contemplated by this Clause 17 (Pre-emption on the transfer ) the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Board duly executed transfers in respect of the Seller’s Interests (and any certificates issued by the Company in respect of any CPECs) in favour of the purchasing Shareholder (or as it directs), together with any power of attorney under which the transfer has been executed, against which the purchasing Shareholder shall deliver to the Managers a banker’s draft for the purchase price (or if required by the Seller shall pay the purchase price by wire transfer of immediately available funds prior to 2:00 p.m. London, England local time to such bank account nominated by the Seller). The Seller shall do all other things and execute all other documents as the purchasing Shareholder may reasonably require to give effect to the sale and purchase of the Seller’s Interests. The Seller’s Interests shall be deemed to be sold by the Seller with full title guarantee with effect from the date of transfer. If the Seller fails to carry out the sale of any of the Interests in accordance with this Clause 17 (Pre-emption on the transfer ) the Managers may appoint some person to execute appropriate transfers on the Seller’s behalf and to give a receipt for the purchase price which shall be paid over to the Seller.

17.7

If the Offer is declined or not accepted within the Acceptance Period, the Administrative Manager shall notify the Seller as soon as is reasonably practicable (and in any event within ten Business Days) and the Seller shall (subject to Clause 17.8) be entitled to sell its Interests to the Proposed Purchaser for a cash price per Share and CPEC which is not less than the Offer Price and otherwise on terms which are no more favourable (excluding the provisions of usual warranties and indemnities that are required by an arm’s length third party purchaser) than those which would have applied on a sale to a purchasing Shareholder, provided that such sale is completed within 120 days of the last day of the Acceptance Period.

17.8

No distributions shall be made after the issue of a Sale Notice unless the Shareholders have agreed, and the Shareholders hereby agree to cooperate in good faith to agree, appropriate adjustments to the Offer Price to reflect distributions made after the issue of the Sale Notice but before the Completion of any transfer of Seller’s Interests pursuant to this Clause 17 (Pre-emption on the transfer ) save that such restriction on distributions shall not apply after:

(a)	if the Offer is accepted within the Acceptance Period, the date falling forty Business Days after the giving of a notice under Clause 17.5; or

(b)	if the Offer is declined or not accepted within the Acceptance Period, the earlier of the date on which the Proposed Purchaser declines to complete the purchase of the Interest and the date falling 120 days after the last day of the Acceptance Period.

17.9	Completion of any transfer of Seller’s Interests to a third party purchaser(s) pursuant to this Clause 17 (Pre-emption on the transfer ) shall be subject to the condition that the Proposed Purchaser(s) shall first have entered into a Deed of Adherence.

18	FORCED SALE RIGHT IN RESPECT OF THE PROPERTY AND ROFR

18.1

From and after 1 July 2014 (the “Forced Sale Right”), each Shareholder shall have the right to initiate the sale by any member of the Group of the Property (or any part therof) (each sale being referred to in this Clause as a “Project”), upon and subject to the terms set forth in this Clause 18. No Shareholder shall initiate a Forced Sale Right hereunder at any time after a Shareholder has exercised the Buy-Sell Right pursuant to Clause 14 and prior to the completion of the Buy-Sell Right procedures set forth in Clause 14 or at any time after a Shareholder has issued a Sale Notice pursuant to Clause 17 and prior to completion of the pre-emption procedures set forth in Clause 17.

18.2

A Shareholder (the “Triggering Shareholder”) shall exercise its Forced Sale Right by delivering to the other Shareholder (the “Non-Triggering Shareholder”) a written notice (a “Forced Sale Notice”) of the Triggering Shareholder’s desire for a particular Project or Projects to be sold and the gross purchase price (the “ROFR Price”) at which the Triggering Shareholder desires to sell the Project or Projects (including an allocation of such gross price among the Project(s) set forth in such Forced Sale Notice).

18.3	Following the delivery of a Forced Sale Notice, the Shareholders shall procure the passing of the requisite resolution of the Company approving such actions are necessary to effect the sale contemplated by such Forced Sale Notice.

18.4

The Non-Triggering Shareholder will have the right to elect to purchase (or cause its Associates to purchase) one or more of the subject Project or Projects upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Clause 18 by (i) delivery of written notice (an “Exercise Notice”) to the Triggering Shareholder during the 20 Business Day period following delivery of the Forced Sale Notice; and (ii) depositing with an Escrow Agent (as defined in Clause 14 a deposit (the “ROFR Deposit”) equal to 5% of the portion of the ROFR Price allocable to such Project(s). In the event that the Non-Triggering Shareholder fails to deliver an Exercise Notice prior to the expiration of the foregoing 20 Business Day period, then it shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its right to purchase the Project or Projects hereunder.

18.5

To the extent that the Non-Triggering Shareholder does not elect to purchase the subject Project or Projects, the Shareholders shall meet to discuss an appropriate marketing plan for the Project or Projects, as applicable, including potential brokerage firms, the terms of the brokerage contract with such firms and the marketing strategy (the date of such meeting being the “Marketing Commencement Date”). If the Shareholders are unable to agree upon an appropriate marketing plan within 20 Business Days after the Non-Triggering Shareholder’s election or deemed election not to purchase subject Project or Projects, then the Triggering Shareholder shall direct the marketing efforts and shall have the right on behalf of the applicable member of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects to engage the services of an independent real estate brokerage firm to solicit offers from third parties unaffiliated with either Shareholder to purchase the Project or Projects. If more than one Project is to be sold, then, the Triggering Shareholder, subject to Clause 18.8, may market the subject Projects individually or as a unit. In all events (i) the commission of any retained brokerage firm shall be an expense of the applicable member(s) of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects, (ii) the Administrative Manager and each of the Shareholders shall cooperate with such brokerage firm to market the applicable Project or Projects and shall supply information to such brokerage firm so that such brokerage firm can prepare appropriate marketing materials, (iii) the Administrative Manager shall provide prospective purchasers with such information about the applicable marketing plan as such brokerage firm may reasonably request or is in line with industry practice, and (iv) the Triggering Shareholder shall on behalf of the applicable member(s) of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects arrange for solicitors to be appointed to act on the sale.

18.6

To the extent that the Non-Triggering Shareholder fails to elect to purchase the subject Project or Projects, the Triggering Shareholder shall (unless such sale shall result in a default or event of default with regard to any indebtedness of the Group) have the right to cause the applicable member(s) of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects to accept a purchase offer for any or all Projects included in the particular Forced Sale Notice, from any person or entity who is not the Triggering Shareholder or an Associate of the Triggering Shareholder; provided, however, that the purchase price must be payable entirely in cash (e.g. the applicable member(s) of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects may not provide seller financing by accepting a note for a portion of the purchase price), must be at least equal to ninety-five per cent (95%) of the allocable ROFR Price set forth in the Forced Sale Notice (a “Qualifying Offer”) with regard to the Project(s) being sold (as such ROFR price shall be adjusted by reference to any change in prepayment and similar fees and charges relating to the Project(s) being sold, to the extent that the purchaser will not pay the same) and the closing of such sale must take place prior to the expiration of the 180 day period following the Marketing Commencement Date (failing which the subject Project or Projects shall not be sold pursuant to the original Forced Sale Notice and clause 18.9 shall apply).

18.7

For any Qualifying Offer that the Triggering Shareholder determines to accept as provided in Clause 18.6, the applicable member(s) of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects shall execute, acknowledge and deliver a purchase and sale agreement and such conveyance and other documents as shall be reasonably required to effectuate the sale; provided that such purchase and sale agreement and such conveyance shall be negotiated by the solicitors referred to in clause 18.5(iv), shall accord with market practice at the time (including the giving of appropriate indemnities for future breach by the purchaser), shall not impose personal liability on any Shareholder and shall require that any security interest in the Project(s) being sold held by the lender with respect to any debt financing and any guarantees or indemnities relating thereto be released and that such sale shall not result in a default or event of default with regard to any indebtedness of the Group.

18.8

The Shareholders acknowledge that the terms of any debt facility agreements or other debt financing may limit the number of partial releases that may occur during the term of any loan. Accordingly, in exercising their respective Forced Sale Rights and discussing the potential marketing plans for the subject Projects, the Shareholders shall give good faith consideration to marketing and selling one or more of the designated Projects as a unit or coordinating the closings of separate sales so as to minimise the number of releases.

18.9

For any Project or Projects for which the Triggering Shareholder is unable to cause the applicable member(s) of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects to complete a sale pursuant to a Qualifying Offer by the date that is 180 days after the Marketing Commencement Date the original Triggering Shareholder’s rights to direct the marketing and cause the sale of the subject Project or Projects as provided in this Clause 18 shall be revoked and the Triggering Shareholder shall not have any right to exercise a new Forced Sale Right of its own with respect to such Project(s) during the one year period following the expiration of the foregoing 180 day period. The Non-Triggering Shareholder shall have the right to exercise a Forced Sale Right as to any such Project or Projects during that one year period (or thereafter) and the original Triggering Shareholder shall have the rights of a Non-Triggering Shareholder as to such Forced Sale Right.

18.10

To the extent that a Non-Triggering Shareholder timely elects to purchase the Project(s) set forth in a Forced Sale Notice delivered by the Triggering Shareholder hereunder, the Triggering Shareholder and the Non-Triggering Shareholder (each acting reasonably) shall then procure that, as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within 20 Business Days of such election, there shall come in to force a binding contract for the applicable member(s) of the Group who owns the subject Project or Projects to sell and the Non-Triggering Shareholder to purchase the subject Project or Projects (and the form of such contract and the conveyance shall contain provisions as described in Clauses 18.7 and 18.12) and the closing of such sale (the “ROFR Closing”) shall take place on the date that is 40 Business Days following the date that the Non-Triggering Shareholder elects to purchase such Project(s) or on such earlier date as the Non-Triggering Shareholder may specify on at least 10 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Triggering Shareholder (the “ROFR Closing Date”). At such ROFR Closing, the Non-Triggering Shareholder and the Company (and each applicable member of the Group) shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such deeds, assignments, consents and other conveyance and other documents as shall be reasonably required to effectuate the sale. In the event that the Non-Triggering Shareholder defaults in its obligation to purchase any subject Project or Projects pursuant to the provisions hereof (other than as a result of a default by the Triggering Shareholder or the applicable member(s) of the Group or as a result of the application of clause 18.10), then (i) the Company shall pay the ROFR Deposit to the Triggering Shareholder and (ii) the Triggering Shareholder shall be authorised to market and sell such Project or Projects to one or more third party purchasers upon such terms and conditions as the Triggering Shareholder shall determine to be appropriate in its reasonable discretion.

18.11

Each of the following (unless and except (in the case of the conditions contained in clauses 18.11 (a) to 18.11 (c) inclusive only) to the extent waived by the Non-Triggering Shareholder) shall be a condition to the Non-Triggering Shareholder’s obligation to proceed with a purchase of the Project(s) contained in any Forced Sale Notice under this Clause 18:

(a)

as of the ROFR Closing Date, there shall not have occurred any Material Casualty/Condemnation with respect to any of such Project(s) (provided that, the determination of a Material Casualty/Condemnation shall be made with reference to the subject Project or Projects rather than the Property as a whole and provided further that to the extent that the Non-Triggering Shareholder waives the condition set forth in this Clause 18.11 (a), then at the ROFR Closing the applicable member(s) of the Group owning the Project(s) affected by such Material Casualty/Condemnation, shall pay to the Non-Triggering Shareholder (or its Associate) any and all condemnation awards and insurance proceeds received by the applicable member(s) of the Group in connection with such Material Casualty/Condemnation, plus an amount equal to the deductible under each applicable insurance policy, but not in excess of an amount equal to the actual damages caused by the Material Casualty/Condemnation);

(b)

there shall be no suit, action or other proceeding pending on the ROFR Closing Date before or by any court or governmental body seeking to restrain or prohibit, or seeking material damages or other relief in connection with the sale of any Project(s) contained in the pertinent Forced Sale Notice and of which the Non-Triggering Shareholder was unaware as of at the time of making of its election to purchase such Project(s);

(c)

the Project(s) shall be free and clear of any liens or encumbrances other than any Permitted Encumbrances (as defined herein). For the purposes hereof “Permitted Encumbrances” means (i) liens for ad valorem taxes that are not yet due and payable, (ii) any liens relating to the external debt financing of any member of the Group that will be released at the ROFR Closing, (iii) any liens relating to any external debt financing that the Non-Triggering Shareholder elects, in its sole discretion, to assume in connection with its purchase of Project(s) hereunder, (iv) any liens that are approved by the Non-Triggering Shareholder in writing as liens to which its purchase will be subject, and (v) any encumbrances contained in the deeds conveying the Project(s) to a member of the Group or to which such conveyance was otherwise subject; and

(d)

at the ROFR Closing, any security interest in the Project(s) being sold, held by the lender with respect to the Facility Agreement (or any other external debt financing) and any guarantees or indemnities relating thereto shall be released and such sale does not result in a default or event of default with regard to any external indebtedness of the Group.

The Triggering Shareholder hereby undertakes not to take, nor cause (whether directly or indirectly) any other party to take, any action that causes any of the conditions above to not be satisfied and, to the extent that any of the above conditions are not satisfied as of the ROFR Closing Date (or (where applicable) waived in writing by the Non-Triggering Shareholder), the Triggering Shareholder and the Non-Triggering Shareholder shall direct the Escrow Agent to return the ROFR Deposit to the Non-Triggering Shareholder and the contract and obligations to purchase subject Project(s) shall automatically cease and determine.

18.12

The ROFR Price shall be payable by the Non-Triggering Shareholder to the relevant members of the Group in readily available funds. The ROFR Deposit (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be applied to the ROFR Price at the ROFR Closing. Rents, real estate taxes, and other items of revenue and expense applicable to the Project(s) that are being sold that are typically prorated in similar transactions shall be prorated as of the date of the ROFR Closing and the ROFR Price shall be adjusted accordingly. All adjustments to the ROFR Price shall be made on the basis of good faith estimates of the Shareholders using currently available information, and final adjustment shall be made promptly after precise figures are determined or available. At the end of the year of closing that includes the ROFR Closing, (i) the Administrative Manager shall calculate year-end adjustments for the calendar year in which the ROFR Closing occurred for common area maintenance expenses, taxes, and insurance owed by or to any tenant under leases in place at the time of the ROFR Closing with regard to the Project(s) sold hereunder and the parties shall make payments to each other as needed to true up the estimates of such items used for purposes of the ROFR Closing, and (ii) the Administrative Manager shall forward to the Company (or the applicable member of the Group) any amounts paid by tenants to the Administrative Manager which amounts are for the payment of such tenant’s pro rata share of expenses, taxes and insurance to the extent such expenses, taxes and insurance are attributable to that portion of the tax year during the Company (or the applicable member of the Group) owned the Property and for which expenses, taxes and insurance the Company (or the applicable member of the Group) gave the Administrative Manager a credit at the ROFR Closing. If any transfer taxes are payable in connection with the purchase and sale of the applicable Project(s), then (y) the Triggering Shareholder and the Non-Triggering Shareholder shall each reasonably cooperate with the other to structure the transaction under this Clause 18 so as to minimise such transfer taxes, and (z) any such transfer taxes shall be payable by the parties in accordance with local custom. With respect to any external debt financing which is in existence as of the date of the ROFR Closing and encumbers the subject Project or Projects, the parties will cooperate in using commercially reasonable efforts to persuade the lender with respect to such external debt financing and the servicer to waive any prepayment and similar fees and charges relating to the ROFR Closing; however, any such fees not so waived by any lender or any servicer shall be paid by the Company at the ROFR Closing.

19	POWER OF ATTORNEY

19.1	As security for the performance of its obligations under Clause 14 and Clause 17, each Shareholder appoints the Company (such appointment being revocable only upon a Shareholder ceasing to hold any Interests), acting by any Manager, to be its attorney for the following purposes:

(a)	to approve, execute (as a deed or otherwise) and deliver all such documents as its attorney shall in its absolute and unfettered discretion deems necessary for the purpose of giving effect to any transfer of Interests;

19.5

26.2

The Shareholders shall procure that no transfer or allotment is registered by the Managers if it is not in accordance with a Relevant Document.

A single or partial exercise of a right or remedy provided by this Agreement or by law does not prevent its further exercise or the exercise of another right or remedy.

30.5	The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies.

30.6

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any agreement contemplated herein, except in respect of the liability of each Shareholder to fund its respective additional capital contributions pursuant to Clause 8.2 in connection with Property Completion, a Shareholder’s liability arising out of or in connection with any matter covered by this Agreement or any agreement contemplated herein, shall be limited to the value from time to time of its Interests and such Shareholder shall not be obliged to satisfy any such liability save:

(a)	by transferring, or procuring that its Associate transfers, an appropriate number of Interests (at their market value at the time of transfer) to the other Shareholder (or as it directs); or

(b)	where the Interests have been sold for cash after a claim under this Agreement or an agreement contemplated herein has been notified by the other Shareholder, by paying to the other Shareholder (or as it directs) an appropriate portion of the cash consideration received for such Interests,

and the other Shareholder shall have no other recourse to that Shareholder in respect of any liability under this Agreement or the other agreements contemplated herein.

30.7

Subject to Clause 30.6, a Shareholder shall have no liability in respect of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein for any claims the other Shareholder might otherwise have against it at law, in equity, by statute, or otherwise and each Shareholder waives to the fullest extent permissible by law any such claims against the other Shareholder and any member, manager, shareholder, partner, director, officer, employee or agent of such Shareholder.

Schedule 5

United States tax and other matters

The following provisions apply solely for purposes of maintaining capital accounts, allocating income, gain, loss, and deduction, and determining relevant elections for United States tax purposes:

1	Definitions.

In addition to the provisions of Clause 1 of this Agreement, the following terms will have the meanings set forth below:

"Adjusted Capital Account Deficit" means, with respect to any Unitholder at any time, the deficit balance, if any, in such Unitholder's Capital Account, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(a)

Crediting to such Capital Account (i) any amount which such Unitholder is obligated to restore following the liquidation of such Unitholder's interests in the Company and (ii) any amount which such Unitholder is deemed obligated to restore in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c), 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(b)	Debiting to such Capital Account the items described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6).

This definition is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), and will be interpreted consistently therewith.

“Capital Account” means a Unitholder’s capital account maintained pursuant to section 2 (Maintenance of Capital Accounts; Deficit Restoration. )

“Capital Contribution” means any amounts paid or contributed by a Unitholder to the Company as consideration for, or in respect of, Shares, Converted Shares or CPECs.

“Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended as of the date hereof and as the same may be amended from time to time, and any successor statute.

“Converted Shares” means any shares of the Company received on conversion of a CPEC.

"Gross Asset Value" means, with respect to any asset, the asset's adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, subject to the following exceptions and adjustments:

(a)	The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Unitholder to the Company will be the gross fair market value of such asset, as determined by the contributing Unitholder and the Company;

(b)

The Gross Asset Value of all Company assets will be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values immediately preceding the occurrence of any of the following events: (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company by any new or existing Unitholder in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution or as consideration for the performance of services on behalf of the Company if Hines determines that such adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Unitholders in the Company; (ii) the distribution by the Company to a Unitholder of more than a de minimis amount of property as consideration for an interest in the Company if Hines determines that such adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Unitholders in the Company; (iii) the liquidation of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) (which for this purpose will include the termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(1)(B)); and (iv) any other event for which such an adjustment is permitted under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii) if Hines determines that such adjustment is necessary or appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of the Unitholders in the Company;

(c)	The Gross Asset Value of any Company asset distributed to any Unitholder will be the gross fair market value of such asset on the date of distribution;

(d)

The Gross Asset Values of Company assets will be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustment to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and Section 2(g); provided, however, that Gross Asset Values will not be adjusted pursuant to this subsection (d) to the extent that an adjustment pursuant to subsection (b) above is made in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this subsection (d);

(e)	In accordance with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(s), the Gross Asset Values of Company Assets will be adjusted to reflect their respective gross fair market values immediately after the conversion of any CPECs; and

(f)

If the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to subsection (a), (b) or (d) above, such Gross Asset Value will thereafter be adjusted by the book depreciation (calculated in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)) taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Net Profits and Net Losses.

"Net Profits" or "Net Losses", as the case may be, for any period, means an amount equal to the Company's Taxable Income or Taxable Loss for such period, with the following adjustments:

(a)	Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits and Net Losses pursuant to this definition will be added to such Taxable Income or will reduce such Taxable Loss;

(b)

Any expenditure of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or treated as a Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses pursuant to this definition, will be subtracted from such Taxable Income or Losses;

(c)	If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b), (c) or (e) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of such adjustment will be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Net Profits or Net Losses;

(d)

Gain or loss resulting from the disposition of any Company asset with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes will be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the asset disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Gross Asset Value;

(e)

In lieu of the depreciation, amortization and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such Taxable Income or Loss, there will be taken into account book depreciation (calculated in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)) for such fiscal year or other period; and

(f)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this definition, any item which is specially allocated pursuant to section 4 (Regulatory Allocations) will not be taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses.

“Regulations” means the Income Tax Regulations, including Temporary Regulations, promulgated under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations).

"Taxable Income" or "Taxable Loss," as the case may be, for any period, means the taxable income or taxable loss of the Company for such period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a), including all items of income, gain, loss or deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1).

“Unitholder” means any holder of Shares, Converted Shares or CPECs.

2	Maintenance of Capital Accounts; Deficit Restoration.

(a)	A separate capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be maintained for each Unitholder.

(i)

To each Unitholder’s Capital Account there shall be added such Unitholder’s Capital Contributions, such Unitholder’s distributive share of Net Profits and any items in the nature of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to section 4 (Regulatory Allocations), and the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Unitholder or which are secured by any Company property distributed to such Unitholder.

(ii)

From each Unitholder’s Capital Account there shall be subtracted the amount of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any Company property distributed to such Unitholder in respect of Shares, Converted Shares or CPECs, such Unitholder’s distributive share of Net Losses and any items in the nature of expenses or losses which are specially allocated pursuant to section 4 (Regulatory Allocations), and the amount of any liabilities of such Unitholder assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Unitholder to the Company.

(iii)

In the event Shares, Converted Shares or CPECs are transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Shares, Converted Shares or CPECs.

(iv)	In determining the amount of any liability for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), there shall be taken into account Code Section 752(c) and any other applicable provisions of the Code and Regulations.

This section 2(a) and the other provisions of this Schedule 5 (United States tax and other matters) relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations.

(b)	Subject to the provisions of any guarantee or other written agreement between a Unitholder and the Company, no Unitholder shall otherwise be required to pay to the Company any deficit or negative balance which may exist in its Capital Account.

3	Allocations of Net Profits and Losses.

(a)	After giving effect to the regulatory allocations set forth in section 4 (Regulatory Allocations), Net Profits for any fiscal year or other relevant period shall be allocated as follows:

(i)

first, Net Profits shall be allocated among the Unitholders in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to each Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to each Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3(b)(vi);

(ii)

second, Net Profits shall be allocated among the Unitholders in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to each Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to each Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3(b)(v);

(iii)

third, Net Profits shall be allocated among the Unitholders in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to each Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to each Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3(b)(iv);

(iv)

fourth, Net Profits shall be allocated among those Unitholders holding CPECs in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to each such Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, the sum of (x) the cumulative amount of Fixed Yield that has accrued on such Unitholder’s CPECs for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods, plus (y) the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to such Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3(b)(iii);

(v)

fifth, Net Profits shall be allocated among those Unitholders holding CPECs in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to each such Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, the sum of (x) the cumulative amount of Variable Yield that has accrued on such Unitholder’s CPECs for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods, plus (y) the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to such Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3(b)(ii); and

(vi)	thereafter, Net Profits shall be allocated among those Unitholders holding Shares in proportion to the number of Shares held by each such Unitholder.

(b)	After giving effect to the regulatory allocations set forth in section 4 (Regulatory Allocations ), Net Losses for any fiscal year or other relevant period shall be allocated among the Unitholders as follows:

(i)

first, Net Losses shall be allocated among those Unitholders holding Shares in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to each such Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, the excess of (x) the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to such Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3 (a)(vi), over (y) the cumulative amount of distributions of such profits that have been made to such Unitholder in respect of its Shares for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods;

(ii)

second, Net Losses shall be allocated among those Unitholders holding CPECs in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to each such Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, the excess of (x) the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to such Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3 (a)(v), over (y) the cumulative amount of distributions of Variable Yield that have been made to such Unitholder in respect of its CPECs for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods;

(v)

fifth, Net Losses shall be allocated among the Unitholders holding CPECs in proportion to, and until the cumulative amount of Net Losses allocated to each such Unitholder for the current and all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under this paragraph equals, (x) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made by such Unitholder in respect of its CPECs which have not previously been returned to such Unitholder as a result of distributions on such CPECs, plus (y) the cumulative amount of Net Profits allocated to such Unitholder for all prior fiscal years or other relevant periods under Section 3 (a)(ii); and

(vi)	thereafter, Net Losses shall be allocated among those Unitholders holding Shares in proportion to the number of Shares held by each such Unitholder.

(c)

The Net Losses allocated pursuant to Section 3(b) shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be so allocated without causing any Unitholder to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year. Subject to the limitations in the preceding sentence, all Net Losses in excess of the limitations set forth in this paragraph shall be allocated pro rata to the other Unitholders in proportion to the number of Units held by each Unitholder.

(d)

In the event that the Company issues or redeems Shares or CPECs, such revisions shall be made to the method of allocating Net Profits and Net Losses in this Section 3 (Allocations of Net Profits and Losses.) as are necessary to reflect the terms of such issuance or redemption, including such revisions as are needed to ensure that such allocations (i) will comply with the terms of Regulation Sections 1.704-1 and -2, (ii) will properly reflect the varying interests of the Unitholders in the Company, and (iii) will cause the Capital Accounts of the Unitholders in respect of Shares and/or CPECs held by them to be in the ratios in which the Unitholders are entitled to receive distributions with respect to their Shares and/or CPECs.

4	Regulatory Allocations

Notwithstanding Section 3 (Allocations of Net Profits and Losses.) above, the following allocations shall be made in the following priority if and to the extent so required under the Regulations.

(a)

Minimum Gain. If during any taxable year there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain (as such term is defined by Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(2) and (d)), then each Unitholder shall be specially allocated items of gross income for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years) in the manner provided in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and (j). Likewise, if there is a net decrease during any taxable year in the minimum gain attributable to Unitholder nonrecourse debt (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), then any Unitholder with a share of the minimum gain attributable to such debt at the beginning of such taxable year shall be specially allocated items of gross income for such taxable year (and, if necessary, for subsequent taxable years) in the manner provided in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j). This Section 4(a) is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted to be consistent with, the minimum gain chargeback requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(2), 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i).

(b)

Qualified Income Offset. If any Unitholder unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), that, after tentatively taking into account all allocations that would be made for the current period under Sections 3 (Allocations of Net Profits and Losses.) and 4 (Regulatory Allocations ) of this Schedule (other than allocations pursuant to this Section 4(b)), would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain will be specially allocated to such Unitholder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations under Code Section 704(b), the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Section is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and will be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations under this Section 4(b) will be comprised of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income (including gross income) and gain for the year.

(c)

Preventative Allocation. If any Unitholder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, such Unitholder will be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible. Allocations under this Section 4(c) will be comprised of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income (including gross income) and gain for the year.

(d)

Nonrecourse Deductions. Gross deductions which are “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) for any taxable year shall be allocated to the Unitholder that bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the nonrecourse debt to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations section 1.704-2(i). “Nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and (c)) shall be allocated to the holders of Shares in accordance with the number of Shares held by them.

(e)

Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 4(a)-(d) ("Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Unitholders intend to divide Company distributions on Shares, Converted Shares and CPECs. Accordingly, other allocations of Net Profit, Net Loss, and other items shall be made among the Unitholders so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Person is zero if and to the extent needed to cause overall allocations (including the regulatory allocations) to be consistent with the manner in which the Unitholders intend to divide Company distributions on Shares, Converted Shares and CPECs.

(f)	Special Allocations in Respect of Converted Shares and Redeemed CPECs.

(i) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among those Unitholders that have had any CPECs or Converted Shares redeemed during the current fiscal year or other relevant period in the minimum amounts needed to increase or decrease the portion of the Unitholder’s Capital Account balance which is attributable to such redeemed CPECs or redeemed Converted Shares (determined prior to reduction of such Capital Account balance as a result of the redemption distribution) to an amount equal to the amount received by such Unitholder in redemption of the redeemed CPECs or redeemed Converted Shares.

(ii) Items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among those Unitholders that hold any Converted Shares in the minimum amounts needed to increase or decrease the portion of the Unitholder’s Capital Account balance which is attributable to such Converted Shares to an amount equal to the cumulative amount that would then be distributable to such Unitholder in respect of its Converted Shares if the Company were to sell all its assets for their Gross Asset Values, repay all its debts, and then distribute the remaining proceeds to holders of Shares, CPECs and Converted Shares in accordance with the terms thereof.

5	Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).

The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a)

Proportional to Net Profits or Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5 (Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).), for each taxable period, Taxable Income and Loss (and items thereof) shall be allocated among the Unitholders in the same proportion as the corresponding item of Net Profits, Net Losses or other item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated for such period under Sections 3 (Allocations of Net Profits and Losses.) and paragraph 4 (Regulatory Allocations).

(b)

Contribution of Property. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction as to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, for tax purposes, be allocated among the Unitholders so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

(c)

Gross Asset Value Adjustment. If the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted as the result of an adjustment as described in subsection (b) or (d) of the definition of "Gross Asset Value," subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction as to such asset shall, for tax purposes, be made so as to eliminate as quickly as possible any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as pursuant to Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.

(d)

Elections Under Code Section 704(c). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, taxable items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property owned by the Company as of the date hereof, the adjusted basis of which differs from its Gross Asset Value, will be allocated among the Unitholders on a property by property basis in accordance with one of the methods provided in Regulations Section 1.704-3.

6	Tax Matters Partner; Tax Elections.

(a)

Hines shall be designated on the Company’s annual U.S. federal information tax return as the “tax matters partner” of the Company (the as provided in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code). If the Company is the subject of an income tax audit, then to the extent the Company is treated as an entity for purposes of the audit, including administrative settlement and judicial review, Hines shall be authorized to act for, and its decision shall be final and binding upon, the Company. All expenses incurred in connection with any audit, investigation, settlement or review shall be borne by the Company.

(b)

It is intended that the Company will be taxed as a partnership under the Code.
