5.1 Requirement and Characterization of Distributions

A.     Subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 hereof, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute quarterly on the LLC Distribution Date all Available Cash generated by the Company during the quarter most recently ended prior to the LLC Distribution Date (the “Payment Quarter” ) as follows:

(1) First, to the holders of the Non-Managing Member Units, in accordance with their relative Preferred Return Shortfalls at the end of the Payment Quarter, until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units at the end of the Payment Quarter is zero (-0-), provided, however, that in the event a Reduction Date occurs during any Payment Quarter, a distribution shall be made under this Section 5.1A.(1)  on the LLC Distribution Date associated with such Payment Quarter to the holder or holders of the Reduction Units in an amount determined by multiplying the amount that would have been distributed on the LLC Distribution Date under this Section 5.1A.(1)  in respect of the Reduction Units had they been outstanding on the last day of such Payment Quarter by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days beginning on the first day of the Payment Quarter relating to the LLC Distribution Date and ending on the Reduction Date and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Quarter in which the Reduction Date occurs.

(2) Second, to the Managing Member until the Managing Member has received an amount equal to the excess (the “Managing Member Shortfal” ), if any, of (A) the amount of cash that must be distributed to the Managing Member such that aggregate distributions of cash pursuant to Sections 5.1A.(1) , 5.1A.(2) , 5.6A.(1)  and 5.6B.(l)  shall have been made to all Members pro rata to the Members’ Percentage Interests, over (B) the sum of all prior distributions to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 5.1A.(2)  and Sections 5.6A.(1)  and 5.6B.(l).

(3) Third, to the holders of the Non-Managing Member Units, in an amount equal to the Second Tier Distribution Per Unit; provided, however, that in the event a Reduction Date occurs during any Payment Quarter, a distribution shall be made

29

under this Section 5.1A.(3)  on the LLC Distribution Date associated with such Payment Quarter to the holder or holders of the Reduction Units in an amount determined by multiplying the amount that would have been distributed on the LLC Distribution Date under Section 5.1A.(3)  in respect of the Reduction Units had they been outstanding on the last day of such Payment Quarter by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days beginning on the first day of the Payment Quarter relating to the LLC Distribution Date and ending on the Reduction Date and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Payment Quarter in which the Reduction Date occurs.

(4) Fourth, to the Managing Member until the Managing Member has received an amount equal to the excess (the “Managing Member Second Tier Distribution” ), if any, of (A) the amount of cash that must be distributed to the Managing Member such that aggregate distributions of cash pursuant to Sections 5.1A.(3)  and 5.1A.(4)  shall have been made to all Members pro rata to the Members’ Percentage Interests, over (B) the sum of all prior distributions to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 5.1A.(4) .

(5) Thereafter, the Managing Member may, in its sole discretion, cause the Company to distribute all Available Cash remaining after the distributions provided for in Sections 5.1A.(1) , 5.1A.(2) , 5.1A.(3)  and 5.1A.(4)  above to the Members in proportion to their Sharing Percentages.

B.      The Managing Member for so long as it is a REIT Member or an Affiliate of a REIT Member may take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with its qualification or the qualification of any Affiliate thereof as a REIT, to cause the Company to distribute sufficient amounts to enable such REIT Member or any Affiliate thereof to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations ( “REIT Requirements” ), and (b) except to the extent the Managing Member elects, in its sole discretion, not to make such distributions, avoid any federal income or excise tax liability of such REIT Member or any Affiliate thereof.

5.2 Distributions in Kind

No right is given to any Member to demand and receive property other than cash. The Managing Member may determine, with the Affirmative Consent of the Non-Managing Members, to make a distribution in kind to the Members of Company assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles V and VI hereof. The fair market value of any Property distributed in kind shall be determined (i) prior to the Subsequent Threshold Date, by the Managing Member with the Affirmative Consent of the Non-Managing Members, and (ii) thereafter, by the Managing Member in its good faith determination.

5.3 Amounts Withheld

Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Managing Member determines that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to

30

any amount distributable or allocable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to Code Section 1441, Code Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member shall constitute a loan by the Company to such Member, which loan shall be repaid by such Member within 15 days after notice from the Managing Member that such payment must be made unless (i) the Company withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Member or (ii) the Managing Member determines that such payment may be satisfied out of the Available Cash of the Company that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Member. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member. In the event that a Member fails to pay any amounts owed to the Company pursuant to this Section 5.3 when due, the Managing Member may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Company, either directly or through an Affiliate, on behalf of such defaulting Member, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Member and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Company as against such defaulting Member (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Member hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., 15 days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Member shall take such actions as the Company or the Managing Member shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

5.4 Distributions Upon Liquidation

Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article V , net proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction and any other cash received or reductions in reserves made after commencement of the liquidation of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 13.3 hereof.

5.5 Restricted Distributions

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, shall make a distribution to any Member on account of its Membership Interest or interest in LLC Units if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Act or other applicable law.

5.6 Distributions of Proceeds from Sale of Properties and Refinancing Debt

A.     Subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 hereof, in the event of a taxable disposition of some, but not all, of the Properties, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to (i) reinvest (including by making loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) the Disposition Proceeds to the extent the Managing Member elects to do so and in the amount determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate (and to hold the Disposition Proceeds in an interest bearing account pending such reinvestment), in its sole discretion, and (ii) if the Managing Member elects, in its sole discretion, to distribute all or any portion of the Disposition Proceeds, distribute such portions of the Disposition Proceeds, to the extent thereof, as follows:

31

(1) First, to the holders of Non-Managing Member Units in accordance with their Preferred Return Shortfalls until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units is zero (-0-), and then to the Managing Member to the extent of its Managing Member Shortfall;

(2) Second, to the holders of LLC Units pro rata to their holdings of LLC Units but only to the extent that such distribution would not cause the number of LLC Units held by the Non-Managing Members to be reduced below zero (-0-) pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.6C hereof; and

(3) Third, the remaining balance of the Disposition Proceeds, if any, to the Managing Member.

B.      Subject to the provisions of Section 5.7 , upon the incurrence of Refinancing Debt, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to (i) reinvest (including by making loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) the Refinancing Debt Proceeds to the extent the Managing Member elects to do so and in the amount determined by the Managing Member to be appropriate (and to hold the Refinancing Debt Proceeds in an interest bearing account pending such reinvestment), in its sole discretion, and (ii) if the Managing Member elects, in its sole discretion, to distribute all or any portion of the Refinancing Debt Proceeds, distribute such portion of the Refinancing Debt Proceeds, to the extent thereof, as follows:

(1) First, to the holders of the Non-Managing Member Units in accordance with their Preferred Return Shortfalls until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units is zero (-0-) and then to the Managing Member to the extent of its Managing Member Shortfall; and

(2) Second, the remaining balance of the Refinancing Debt Proceeds, if any, to the Members in proportion to their Sharing Percentages.

C.      The number of LLC Units outstanding on the date of a distribution pursuant to Section 5.6A.(2)  hereof will be reduced (each such reduction a “ Reduction ” ) by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the “ Reduction Units ”) on the date of the distribution (the “ Reduction Date ”) by the aggregate number of LLC Units (the “ Total Units ”) as follows:

(1) The Non-Managing Member Units shall be reduced by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the “ Non-Managing Member Reduction Units ”) determined by dividing (i) the excess of (a) the aggregate amount of distributions made on the Reduction Date to Non-Managing Members and Assignees pursuant to Sections 5.6A.(2)  and 5.6B.(2) , over (b) the NMM Sharing Amount by (ii) the product obtained by multiplying (a) Value on the Reduction Date by (b) the Adjustment Factor. The Non-Managing Member Reduction Units shall be allocated (as closely as practicable in whole units) among the holders of Non-Managing Member Units in accordance with their respective holdings of Non-Managing Member Units.

(2)  The Managing Member Units shall be reduced by a number of Managing Member Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the “ the Managing

32

Member Reduction Units ”) equal to the product of (i) the Reduction Units with respect to the Non-Managing Members divided by the aggregate Percentage Interest of the Non-Managing Members immediately prior to the Reduction Date, times (ii) the Percentage Interest of the Managing Member immediately prior to such Reduction Date, provided the Managing Member Units shall not be reduced to less than 1 LLC Unit.

To reflect the foregoing reduction, each Member shall return to the Managing Member the certificate evidencing the Reduction Units allocated to him or it or the Managing Member Units so reduced which will be canceled and a new certificate evidencing the reduced number of Managing Member Units or Non-Managing Member Units shall be immediately issued to such Member by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company. In the event the number of outstanding Non-Managing Member Units held by a Non-Managing Member or Assignee is reduced (pursuant to this Section 5.6C or otherwise) to zero (-0-), such Non-Managing Member or Assignee shall cease to have an interest in the Company (other than the right to receive final distributions and allocations resulting from the liquidation of their interest). Exhibit D sets forth an example of a Reduction in Non-Managing Member Units and Managing Member Units pursuant to this Section 5.6C .

D.      The Managing Member shall have no obligation to incur Refinancing Debt for the purpose of making distributions pursuant to this Section 5.6 or for any other purpose, except as provided in Sections 7.3E.(3)  and 7.3E.(4)  hereof.

5.7 Distributions Following Redemption

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a Non-Managing Member shall not be entitled to any distribution pursuant to this Article V with respect to any Tendered Units or any Non-Managing Member Units for which a Call Notice pursuant to Section 13.2 has been delivered, as the case may be, if the next LLC Record Date is on or after the Specified Redemption Date for such Tendered Unit(s) or any Non-Managing Member Units for which a Call Notice pursuant to Section 13.2 has been delivered, as the case may be.

Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(4)  Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)( d )( 4 ), ( 5 ) or ( 6 ), items of Company income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)( d ), to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3A.(4)  shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article VI have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3A.(4)  were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3A.(4)  qualify and be construed as a “ qualified income offset ” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)( d ) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(5)  Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Member, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Members in accordance with their respective LLC Units, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.3A.(5) .

(6)  Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)( m )( 2 ) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)( m )( 4 ), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Member in complete liquidation of its interest in the Company, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with their LLC Units in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)( m )( 2 ) applies, or to the Members to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)( m )( 4 ) applies.

(7)  Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3A.(1) through (6)  hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations” ) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

B.    Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Member’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Member’s interest in Company profits shall be such Member’s Percentage Interest.

C.    Special Allocation of Loss or Deduction . Any deductions associated with the payment of a pre-payment premium or penalty in connection with the prepayment of any mortgage Debt encumbering the Contribution Property on the Effective Date shall be allocated to the Non-Managing Members.

6.4 Tax Allocations

A.    In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4 , for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each of the Company’s Tax Items 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 6.2 and 6.3 hereof.

B.    Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4A hereof, Tax Items with respect to Property that is contributed to the Company with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Member immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Members for income tax purposes pursuant to the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article I hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset (other than Tax Items governed by the previous sentence) shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and this Section 6.4B , pursuant to any method permitted under Regulations Section 1.704-3 as selected by the Managing Member

6.5 Other Provisions

A.    Other Allocations. In the event that (i) any modifications are made to the Code or any Regulations, (ii) any changes occur in any case law applying or interpreting the Code or any Regulations, (iii) the IRS changes or clarifies the manner in which it applies or interprets the Code or any Regulations or any case law applying or interpreting the Code or any

37

Regulations or (iv) the IRS adjusts the reporting of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which, in each case as reasonably and in good faith determined by the Managing Member, either (a) requires allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or (b) requires reporting of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner different from that set forth in this Article VI , the Managing Member is hereby authorized to make new allocations or report any such transactions (as the case may be) in reliance of the foregoing, and such new allocations and reporting shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary duty of the Managing Member to the Company and the other Members, and no such new allocation or reporting shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Member.

B.      Consistent Tax Reporting. The Members acknowledge and are aware of the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VI and hereby agree to be bound by the provisions of this Article VI in reporting their shares of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

6.6 Amendments to Allocation to Reflect Issuance of Additional Membership Interests

In the event that the Company issues additional Membership Interests to the Managing Member or any Additional Member pursuant to Article IV hereof, the Managing Member shall make such revisions to this Article VI as it determines are necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Membership Interests, including making preferential allocations to certain classes of Membership Interests; provided, however, that any such preferential allocations shall be subject to the prior Affirmative Consent of a Supermajority of the Non-Managing Members.

To the extent that such action is determined by the Managing Member to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the Managing Member shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Company as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Delaware and each other state, the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction in which the Company may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5A.(4)  hereof, the Managing Member shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Member.

7.3 Restrictions on Managing Member’s Authority

A.     The Managing Member may not take any action in contravention of an express prohibition or limitation of this Agreement, including, without limitation:

B.      Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2 hereof, the Managing Member shall not, without the prior Consent of the Non-Managing Members undertake or have the authority to do or undertake, on behalf of the Company, any of the following actions or enter into any transaction which would have the effect of such transactions:

(3)   to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law;

(4)   to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for any REIT Member or any Affiliate thereof to maintain its status as a REIT or to satisfy the REIT Requirements;

D.    Notwithstanding Section 7.3B and 7.3C hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended with respect to any Member adversely affected, and no action may be taken by the Managing Member, without the Consent of such Member adversely affected if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Non-Managing Member’s interest in the Company into a Managing Member’s interest, (ii) modify the limited liability of a Non-Managing Member, (iii) alter rights of the Member to receive distributions pursuant to Article V or Section I3.3A.(4) , or the allocations specified in Article VI (except as permitted pursuant to Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and Section 7.3C.(1)  hereof), (iv) alter or modify the rights to a Redemption as set forth in Section 8.6 , or the rights to a Make-Whole Payment as set forth in Sections 7.3E , 7.3F , 7.3G and 7.3H hereof, and related definitions hereof, or (v) amend this Section 7.3D. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the Managing Member’s authority set forth elsewhere in this Section 7.3 without the Consent specified in such section. Any such amendment or action consented to by any Member shall be effective as to that Member, notwithstanding the absence of such Consent by any other Member.

E.     The Company shall pay to each Non-Managing Member the Make-Whole Payment, if any, as provided below if the Company takes any of the following actions during the Tax Protection Period without the prior Consent of the Non-Managing Members, which Consent expressly states that the right to the Make-Whole Payment is being waived:

(1)   cause or permit the Company (x) to merge, consolidate or combine with or into any other partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other Person (other than with a Subsidiary of the Company), (y) to engage in any Terminating Capital Transaction or (z) to dissolve or otherwise terminate its existence; or

44

(2)   sell, dispose, convey or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Contributed Property or any Successor Properties, in a transaction that causes holders of Non-Managing Member Units to recognize taxable income under the Code on account of a Built-in Gain, other than (i) a casualty loss, (ii) taking by eminent domain; (iii) pursuant to the exercise of a put right by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company) pursuant to which the Company (or such Subsidiary) may require another Person to purchase all or any portion of the Contributed Property or one or more of the Successor Properties, which put right was granted pursuant to any document or instrument in effect at the time the Contributed Property or any Successor Property was acquired by the Company (or any Subsidiary); or (iv) pursuant to the exercise of a call or purchase right by any other Person pursuant to which such Person has the right to purchase all or any portion of the Contributed Property or one or more of the Successor Properties, which purchase right was granted pursuant to any document or instrument in effect at the time the Contributed Property or any Successor Property was contributed to or acquired by the Company (or any Subsidiary of the Company); provided that the Company has first used commercially reasonable efforts to structure such disposition as either a tax-free like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code or as a tax-free investment under Section 1033 of the Code; or

(3)   fails to keep in place a Managing Member Loan for which a Bottom Guarantee has been executed and delivered by an Initial Non-Managing Member as of the Effective Date in an amount not less than the applicable Managing Member Loan Amount, unless such Managing Member Loan is replaced or refinanced with other Debt satisfying the requirements set for below ( “ Replacement Indebtedness ” ) . Any Replacement Indebtedness shall:

(a)           not be less than the applicable Managing Member Loan Amount therefor;

(b)           not require principal repayments during such period that would cause the principal balance of such Replacement Indebtedness to be less than the applicable Managing Member Loan Amount therefor at any time during the Tax Protection Period;

(c)           be full recourse to the Company; and

(d)           provide each Initial Non-Managing Member that executed and delivered a Bottom Guarantee therefor as of the Effective Date with the opportunity to execute and deliver to the lender thereunder (including Managing Member, if applicable) a Bottom Guarantee for such Replacement Indebtedness;

The Managing Member shall provide each Initial Non-Managing Member who has executed and delivered a Bottom Guarantee with respect to a Managing Member Loan as of the Effective Date or any permitted Replacement Indebtedness thereafter with not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of its desire to refinance such Managing

45

Member Loan or any permitted Replacement Indebtedness with Replacement Indebtedness; or

(4)   fails to continue to provide the opportunity to each Initial Non-Managing Member who elected as of the Effective Date to execute and deliver a Bottom Guarantee with respect to a Managing Member Loan, to execute a Bottom Guarantee therefor or for any Replacement Indebtedness therefor in an amount up to the applicable Managing Member Loan Amount. If any Initial Non-Managing Member who elected to execute and deliver a Bottom Guarantee as of the Effective Date with respect to a Managing Member Loan, elected to deliver the same for less than the applicable Managing Member Loan Amount, then upon written notice to the Company and the Managing Member (and, if applicable, the lender under any Replacement Indebtedness), not more frequently than one time per year during the Tax Protection Period, such Initial Non-Managing Member may elect to increase such Non-Managing Member’s Bottom Guarantee in an amount up to the applicable Managing Member Loan Amount. As used herein, “Bottom Guarantee” means an agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E or in such other form as may be reasonably acceptable to the lender and such Initial Non-Managing Member and providing substantively the same benefits to such Initial Non-Managing Member as the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. By their execution and delivery hereof, each Initial Non-Managing Member acknowledges that it has been provided the opportunity to execute a Bottom Guarantee for a Managing Member Loan as of the Effective Date, and if such Initial Non-Member has exercised such opportunity, it has executed and delivered such Bottom Guarantee to Managing Member as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Initial Managing Member that fails to execute and deliver a Bottom Guarantee with respect to a Managing Member Loan as of the Effective Date, shall be deemed to have elected not to exercise its opportunity to execute a Bottom Guarantee with respect thereto and the Managing Member shall have no further obligation to provide such opportunity to execute and deliver a Bottom Guarantee or to maintain a Managing Member Loan or any Replacement Indebtedness for the benefit of such Initial Non-Managing Member.

In the event that the prior Consent of the Non-Managing Members is not required for the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, to take or engage or fail to take, as the case may be, in any of the actions described in the foregoing subparagraphs (1), (2) and (3) or fails to provide the rights in the foregoing subparagraph (4), the Managing Member may take such action only after providing the Non-Managing Members with not less than fifteen (15) days’ notice of its intention to do so.

F.     The Company shall pay to each applicable Non-Managing Member the Make Whole Payment as provided in Section 7.3G if the Company takes any action to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company during the Tax Protection Period. In addition, an applicable Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to the Make Whole Payment in the event of the exercise of such Non-Managing Member’s right to a Redemption under Section 8.6A after receipt by such Non-Managing Member of a written notice of a Liquidating Event provided by the Company to the same extent such Non-Managing Member would have been entitled to such Make Whole Payment had such Non-Managing Member not have been redeemed pursuant to

46

such Redemption. In the event the Managing Member intends to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company following the Tax Protection Period, it shall give not less than fifteen (15) calendar days notice of such intent to the Non-Managing Members prior to taking any action in furtherance of such intent.

G.              Any event in Sections 7.3E and 7.3F that triggers the obligation of the Company to make a Make-Whole Payment (as defined below) is called a “ Triggering Event. ” The Company shall pay to each applicable Non-Managing Member an amount (the “ Make-Whole Payment ” ) equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes, if any, incurred by such applicable Non-Managing Member as a result of a Triggering Event. Any such federal, state and local income taxes shall be deemed to be the amount of Built-in Gain recognized by the Non-Managing Members multiplied by the then highest rate or rates applicable to such Built-in Gain for the year in which such Built-in Gain is recognized grossed up to include any federal, state and local income taxes incurred by the Non-Managing Member by reason of the receipt of the payment from the Company. No effect shall be given in determining the amount of the Make-Whole Payment of a Non-Managing Member’s taxable income, tax deductions, tax credits, tax carry forwards nor to any other of their tax benefits or tax attributes (except that state and local taxes paid on account of the Make-Whole Payment shall be deducted in determining federal income taxes for purposes of determining the Make-Whole Payment). The Make-Whole Payment shall be made within a reasonable period of time after the Triggering Event, but in no event later than the date by which the Non-Managing Member would be required to make the applicable tax payment. In addition to any other rights available under law or equity, in the event that the Company fails to pay any amounts owed pursuant to this Section 7.3 when due, the Non- Managing Member to whom such payment is owed shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to the Company. Any amounts payable to a Non-Managing Member shall be increased by an amount equal to the greater of (x) interest accrued on such amount at the Prime Rate from the date such amount is due until such amount is paid in full and (y) actual interest and penalties assessed by the relevant taxing authorities with respect to such amounts plus any penalties actually imposed thereon by the relevant taxing authorities. In the event that any Member becomes entitled to a Make Whole Payment and the Company, for any reason, fails to satisfy such obligation, then the Managing Member shall make the Make Whole Payment promptly following such failure by the Company to make such Make Whole Payment. In the event that any Non-Managing Member becomes entitled to a Make-Whole Payment, then, on or before the date on which such Make-Whole Payment is payable to the Non-Managing Member, the Managing Member shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company of cash in an amount equal to said Make-Whole Payment.

H.             The parties agree that the sole and exclusive rights and remedies to which the Non-Managing Members may be entitled at law or in equity in connection with any Triggering Event shall be for payment of the Make-Whole Payment pursuant to Section 7.3G , and no Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to enjoin or otherwise object to any transaction that would result in a taxable event or pursue any other claim with respect to a Triggering Event. If any Non-Managing Member notifies the Company of a claim that the Company owes a Make-Whole Payment, the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding any such Triggering Event. If any such disagreement cannot be resolved by the parties within thirty (30) calendar days after the receipt by the Company of the notice in accordance with the preceding sentence, the

47

Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall jointly retain a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm (an “ Accounting Firm ” ) to act as an arbitrator to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a Triggering Event has occurred and, if so, the amount of the applicable Make-Whole Payment that the Non-Managing Member is entitled to as a result thereof, determined as set forth in Section 7.3G ). If the parties cannot agree on an Accounting Firm, each of the Managing Member, on behalf of the Company, and the Non-Managing Member shall retain an Accounting Firm, and the Accounting Firms selected shall jointly retain a third Accounting Firm. If the two Accounting Firms cannot agree upon a third Accounting Firm within thirty (30) calendar days, such matter shall be referred to a court of competent jurisdiction to select the third Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firms shall be instructed to resolve as expeditiously as possible all points of any such disagreement (including, without limitation, whether a Triggering Event has occurred and, if so, the amount of the applicable Make-Whole Payment that the Non-Managing Member is entitled to as a result thereof, determined as set forth in Section 7.3.G). All determinations made by the Accounting Firm or the Accounting Firms, as the case may be, with respect to the resolution of whether a Triggering Event has occurred shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company and the Non-Managing Member. The fees and expenses of any Accounting Firms incurred in connection with any such determination shall be shared equally by the Company and the Non-Managing Member.

7.4 Compensation of the Managing Member

A.            The Managing Member shall not be compensated for its services as the manager of the Company. Distributions, payments and allocations to which the Managing Member may be entitled in its capacity as the Managing Member shall not constitute compensation for services rendered by the Managing Member as provided in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI hereof).

B.              Subject to Section 7.4C hereof, the Company shall be liable, and shall reimburse the Managing Member on a monthly basis (or such other basis as the Managing Member may determine in its sole and absolute discretion), for all sums expended in connection with the Company’s business. Any such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement of the Managing Member as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof.

C.              To the extent practicable, Company expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the Company. Reimbursements to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the Company shall be allowed, however, for the actual cost to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates of operating and other expenses of the Company, including, without limitation, the actual cost of goods, materials and administrative services related to (i) Company operations, (ii) company accounting, (iii) communications with Members, (iv) legal services, (v) tax services, (vi) computer services, (vii) risk management, (viii) mileage and travel expenses and (ix) such other related operational and administrative expenses as are necessary for the prudent organization and operation of the Company. “ Actual cost of goods and materials ” means the actual cost to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates of goods and materials used for or by the Company obtained from entities not affiliated with the Managing Member, and “ actual cost of administrative services ” means the pro rata cost of personnel (as if such persons were

48

employees to the Company) providing administrative services to the Company. The cost for such services to be reimbursed to the Managing Member or any Affiliate thereof shall be the lesser of the Managing Member’s or Affiliate’s actual cost, or the amount the Company would be required to pay to independent parties for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location.

D.             In addition to any reimbursements to which the Managing Member is entitled pursuant to Sections 8.6 and 11.3 hereof or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Managing Member shall also be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance of additional Membership Interests, Debt of the Company, or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Company pursuant to Article VIII hereof (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, damages and other payments resulting from or arising in connection with litigation related to any of the foregoing), all of such expenses are considered by the Members to constitute expenses of, and for the benefit of, the Company.

To the extent that reimbursements to the Managing Member or any of its Affiliates by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.4 would constitute gross income to the Managing Member for purposes of Code Section 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3), then such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c).

7.5 Other Business of Managing Member

The Managing Member shall devote to the Company such time as may be necessary for the performance of its duties as Managing Member, but the Managing Member is not required, and is not expected, to devote its full time to the performance of such duties. The Managing Member may engage independently or with others in other business ventures of every nature and description, including, without limitation, the ownership of other properties and the making or management of other investments. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Managing Member or any Affiliate of the Managing Member from dealing, or otherwise engaging in business with, Persons transacting business with the Company, or from providing services related to the purchase, sale, financing, management, development or operation of real or personal property and receiving compensation therefor, not involving any rebate or reciprocal arrangement that would have the effect of circumventing any restriction set forth herein upon dealings with the Managing Member or any Affiliate of the Managing Member. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to such other ventures or activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

7.6 Contracts with Affiliates

A.            Subject to Section 7.6B below, the Company may lend or contribute to Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Company, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Person.

49

B.              The Managing Member or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, shall be permitted to sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, the Company or engage in any other transaction with the Company, but only upon terms determined by the Managing Member in good faith to be fair and reasonable and comparable to terms that could be obtained from an unaffiliated party in an arm’s length transaction, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement.

C.              Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on and as of the Effective Date the Members acknowledge that an Affiliate of certain of the Non-Managing Members shall be engaged by the Company to provide day-to-day property management and leasing services for the Company pursuant to a written agreement upon terms and conditions approved by the Managing Member, in its sole discretion.

7.7 Indemnification

A.            To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Company ( “ Actions ” ) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was (A) committed in bad faith, (B) was the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct or (C) in material breach of such Indemnitee’s express duties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any Action by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7A , unless such judgment or order against an Indemnitee establishes the same. The termination of any Action upon a plea of nolo contendre or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment against an Indemnitee, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the Managing Member and any Indemnitees, and neither the Managing Member nor any Non-Managing Member shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Company or otherwise provide funds to enable the Company to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7 .

50

B.              Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Company of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized in Section 7.7A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

C.              The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

D.             The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Managing Member shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

E.               In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

F.               An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

G.              The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Company’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

H.             If and to the extent any reimbursements to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income to the Managing Member (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Code Section 707(c), shall be treated consistently therewith by the Company and all Members, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.

51

7.8 Liability of the Managing Member

A.            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the Managing Member nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Company, any Members or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the Managing Member or such director, officer, agent or employee of the Managing Member, as the case may be, acted in good faith and has not engaged in gross negligence or breached its express covenants set forth in this Agreement.

B.              The Non-Managing Members expressly acknowledge that the Managing Member is acting for the benefit of the Company, the Members and the Managing Member’s shareholders collectively, that the Managing Member is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Members or the Managing Member’s shareholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Members, Assignees or the Managing Member’s shareholders) in deciding whether to cause the Company to take (or decline to take) any actions and that the Managing Member shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Non-Managing Members in connection with such decisions, provided that the Managing Member has acted in good faith and has not engaged in gross negligence or breached its express covenants set forth in this Agreement.

C.              Subject to its obligations and duties as Managing Member set forth in Section 7.1.A hereof, the Managing Member may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents. The Managing Member shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.

D.             Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Managing Member’s, its officers’, directors’, agents’ or employees’ liability to the Company and the Non-Managing Members under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

7.9 Other Matters Concerning the Managing Member

A.            The Managing Member may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

B.              The Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the Managing Member

52

reasonably believes to be within the Managing Member’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

C.              The Managing Member shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the Managing Member in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the Managing Member hereunder.

D.             Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or any decision of the Managing Member to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of any REIT Member or any Affiliate thereof to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for any REIT Member or any Affiliate thereof otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements or (iii) to allow any REIT Member or any Affiliate thereof to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Non-Managing Members. If in the opinion of the Managing Member any such action or omission shall adversely affect the rights of a Non-Managing Member hereunder, the Managing Member shall give such affected Non-Managing Member notice of such intended action or omission.

7.10 Title to Company Assets

Title to Company assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Company as an entity, and no Member, individually or collectively with other Members or Persons, shall have any ownership interest in such Company assets or any portion thereof. All Company assets shall be recorded as the property of the Company in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Company assets is held.

7.11 Reliance by Third Parties

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company shall be entitled to assume that the Managing Member has full power and authority, without the consent or approval of any other Member or Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Company and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Company, and take any and all actions on behalf of the Company, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Managing Member as if it were the Company’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Non-Managing Member hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Managing Member in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Managing Member or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the Managing Member or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company by

53

A.            On or after the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Effective Date, each Non-Managing Member shall have the right (the “ Redemption Right ” ) (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the Non-Managing Member Units held by such Non-Managing Member (all such Non-Managing Member Units being hereafter called “ Tendered Units ”) for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date (the “ Redemption ”) ; provided, however, that at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, the Managing Member may elect to assume the Company’s obligation with respect to the Redemption (though such assumption shall not relieve the Company from such obligation in the event the Managing Member fails to fulfill such obligation) and, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, to satisfy the Redemption by (i) paying either the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date or (ii) delivering a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date.

B.              Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Company by a Non-Managing Member or any Substituted Member of a Non-Managing Member or an Assignee of either exercising the Redemption Right (the “ Tendering Party ”) . On the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party shall sell the Tendered Units to the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 8.6 . Any Tendered Units acquired by the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall be held by the Managing Member as Non-Managing Member Units with all the rights and preferences relating thereto as provided in this Agreement. The Tendering Party shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as the Company may reasonably require in connection with the Ownership Limit and (ii) in the event that the REIT Shares issued upon such Redemption are not registered for issuance or resale under the Securities Act as of the date of issuance, such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in the Company’s view, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. If a Cash Amount is to be delivered upon the Redemption, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Company’s or the Managing Member’s sole discretion, as the case may be, in immediately available funds via wire transfer to an account or account(s) specified by the Tendering Party.

The Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares and Rights for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. REIT Shares issued upon an acquisition of the

56

Tendered Units by the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 8.6 may contain such legends regarding restrictions on Transfer or ownership to protect the Managing Member’s tax status as a REIT and in the event the REIT Shares issued upon such Redemption are not registered for resale under the Securities Act as of the date of issuance, restrictions under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as the Managing Member in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such laws.

C.              Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.6A. and 8.6B. hereof, the following shall apply:

(1) no Tendering Party shall have any right to tender for Redemption (whether for the REIT Shares Amount or the Cash Amount) any Excess LLC Units held by such Tendering Party. The Managing Member shall have no obligation to acquire Excess LLC Units, whether for the REIT Shares Amount or the Cash Amount;

(2)   No Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights pursuant to Section 8.6.A. and 8.6.B. hereof more than one (1) time during any Calendar Quarter or more than three (3) times during any calendar year. In determining whether such limit has been reached during any Calendar Quarter or calendar year with respect to any Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member of a Non-Managing Member, it is understood and agree that the exercise of the Redemption Rights by any Assignee of such Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member shall be counted for all purposes as the exercise of such Redemption Rights by the Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member assignor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights after the receipt of a notice of a Liquidating Event;

(3)                                   no Tendering Party may exercise the Redemption Rights pursuant to Sections 8.6.A and B as to fewer than 5,000 Non-Managing Member Units (unless they constitute all of the Non-Managing Member Units held by such Tendering Party);

(4)                                   No Tendering Party may deliver a Notice of Redemption during the period from November 10th through December 31 of any year; and

(5) each Tendering Party shall pay to the Managing Member the sum of $1,500.00 as the stipulated and agreed upon reimbursement cost for the Managing Member’s administrative overhead and out-of-pocket costs in connection with any Redemption pursuant to Sections 8.6A. and 8.6B. ; provided, however, that no such reimbursement shall be due with respect to the first such Redemption by any Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member in any calendar year; provided, further, however, that the exercise by any Assignee of a Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member shall be deemed a Redemption by such Non-Managing Member or Substituted Member of such Assignee (and vice versa) for purposes of determining whether such reimbursement is due and owing to the Managing Member.

D.             Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption pursuant to this Section 8.6 , each Tendering Party shall continue to own all LLC Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Member with respect to such LLC Units for

57

all purposes of this Agreement, until such LLC Units are Transferred to the Company or the Managing Member, as the case may be, and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Redemption Date; subject, however, to the provisions of Section 5.7 . Until a Specified Redemption Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Managing Member, if it so elects, pursuant to Sections 8.6A and 8.6B hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a shareholder of the Managing Member with respect to the REIT Shares issuable in connection with such Redemption.

E.               In connection with an exercise of Redemption Rights pursuant to this Section 8.6 , the Tendering Party shall submit the following to the Managing Member, in addition to the Notice of Redemption:

(1) Any information reasonably required by the Managing Member in order to allow it to determine (a) the actual and Constructive Ownership, as determined for purposes of Code Sections 856(a)(6), 856(h), 856(d)(2)(b) and 856(d)(5), of REIT Shares by (i) such Tendering Party and (ii) any Related Party and (b) that, after giving. effect to the Redemption, neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party will have actual, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of a number of REIT Shares that is in excess of the Ownership Limit;

(2) A written representation that neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party has any intention to acquire any additional REIT Shares prior to the closing of the Redemption on the Specified Redemption Date that would cause such Tendering Party or any Related Party to have Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of a number of REIT Shares that is in excess of the Ownership Limit; and

(3) An undertaking to certify, at and as a condition to the closing of the Redemption that either (a) the actual and Constructive Ownership of REIT Shares by the Tendering Party and any Related Party remain unchanged from that disclosed pursuant to Section 8.6D.(1)  or (b)  after giving effect to the Redemption, neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party shall have actual or Constructive Ownership of a number of REIT Shares that is in violation of the Ownership Limit.

11.3                         Non-Managing Members’ Rights to Transfer

A.            General. No Non-Managing Member shall Transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest, or any of such Non-Managing Member’s economic rights as a Non-Managing Member, to any transferee without first offering such Membership Interest to the Managing Member or otherwise obtaining the Consent of the Managing Member, which Consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, but subject to the balance of the provisions of this Article XI , any Non-Managing Member may, without the Consent of the Managing Member, (x) pledge all or any portion of its Membership Interest to a lender to such Member to secure indebtedness to such lender and Transfer such Membership Interest to such lender upon foreclosure of the debt secured by such Membership Interest, so long as any such pledge or other Transfer would not otherwise violate the provisions of this Agreement or (y) transfer all or any portion of its Membership Interest or economic rights as a Non-Managing Member to a partner or member of such Non-Managing Member as a distribution or in liquidation of such partner’s or member’s interest in such Non-Managing Member, to a family member of such Non-Managing Member, a trust, all of the beneficiaries of which are, such Non-Managing Member and family members of such Non-Managing Member, a corporation, general or limited partnership or limited liability company all of the owners of which are such Non-Managing Member and family members of such Non-Managing Member or to an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(b)(c)(2) or 501(c)(3) of the Code, so long as any such Transfer would not otherwise violate the provisions of this Agreement (herein, a “ Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment” ), and in connection with any Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment, such Non-Managing shall reimburse to the Managing Member all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with such Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and

62

costs and any other expenses incurred by the Managing Member, including the costs of filing any amendment or prospectus supplement to any registration statement or prospectus as necessary to reflect such Transfer. In addition, it is understood and agreed that the transferee pursuant to any Permitted Non-Managing Member Assignment shall only become an Assignee and not a Substituted Member, unless otherwise consented to by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion.

B.              Conditions to Transfer. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assume by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Membership Interest, and that the Managing Member be reimbursed for all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Managing Member in connection with such Transfer, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs and any other expenses incurred by the Managing Member, including the costs of filing any amendment or prospectus supplement to any registration statement or prospectus as necessary to reflect such Transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Membership Interest shall be subject to the Ownership Limits and any and all ownership limitations contained in the Charter. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Member, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Member, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.

C.              Incapacity. If Non-Managing Member is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Non-Managing Member’s estate shall have all the rights of a Non-Managing Member, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Non-Managing Members, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Non-Managing Member possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Company. The Incapacity of a Non-Managing Member, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Company.

D.             Opinion of Counsel. In connection with any Transfer of a Membership Interest other than in connection with a Redemption, the Managing Member shall have the right to receive an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the Membership Interests Transferred. If, in the opinion of such counsel, such Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Company or the LLC Units, the Managing Member may prohibit any Transfer by a Member of Membership Interests otherwise permitted under this Section 11.3 .

E.               Transfers to Lenders. No Transfer of any LLC Units may be made to a lender to the Company or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Company whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the Consent of the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided that, as a condition to such Consent, the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Company and the Managing Member to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares Amount any

63

LLC Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a member in the Company for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Code Section 752.

11.4                         Substituted Members

A.            No Member shall have the right to substitute a transferee (including any transferees pursuant to Transfers permitted by Section 11.3 hereof) as a Member in its place. The Managing Member shall, however, have the right to Consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Member pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Member, which Consent may be given or withheld by the Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion. The Managing Member’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Member shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Company or any Member.

B.              A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this Article XI shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Member under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Member shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the Company an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission) from and after the date of such Transfer.

C.              Upon the admission of a Substituted Member, the Managing Member shall update the books and records of the Company to reflect the name, address, Capital Account, number of LLC Units and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Member and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address, Capital Account, number of LLC Units and Percentage Interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Member (and any other Member, as necessary).

11.5                         Assignees

If the Managing Member, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not Consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 hereof as a Substituted Member, as described in Section 11.4 hereof, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited liability company interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Company and the share of Net Income, Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company attributable to the LLC Units assigned to such transferee, the rights to Transfer the LLC Units provided in this Article XI, and the right of Redemption provided in Section 8.6 , but shall not be deemed to be a Member of LLC Units for any other purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote with respect to such LLC Units on any matter presented to the Members for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Member). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such LLC Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article XI to the same extent and in the same manner as any Members desiring to make an assignment of LLC Units. The Managing

64

Member shall have no liability under any circumstance with respect to any Assignee as to which it does not have notice.

11 .6                         General Provisions

A.            No Non-Managing Member may withdraw from the Company other than (i) as a result of a permitted Transfer of all of such Non-Managing Member’s LLC Units in accordance with this Article XI and the transferee(s) of such LLC Units being admitting to the Company as a Substituted Member or (ii) pursuant to a Redemption by the Non-Managing Member of all of its LLC Units under Section 8.6 hereof.

B.              Any Non-Managing Member who shall Transfer all of its LLC Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article XI where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Member; (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a Redemption of all of its LLC Units under Section 8.6 hereof; (iii) pursuant to a Reduction; or (iv) pursuant to a combination of Transfers of the types specified in the foregoing (i) - (iii), shall cease to be a Member.

C.              Except in connection with a Redemption, Transfers pursuant to this Article XI may only be made on the first day of a Calendar Quarter of the Company, unless the Managing Member otherwise agrees.

D.             All distributions of Available Cash attributable to an LLC Unit with respect to which the LLC Record Date is before the date of a Transfer or a Redemption of the LLC Unit shall be made to the transferor Member and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter attributable to such LLC Unit shall be made to the transferee Member.

E.               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of a Membership Interest by any Member (excluding any Redemption or any other acquisition of LLC Units by the Company) be made:

(1) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Membership Interest;

(2) in violation of applicable law;

(3) without the Consent of the Managing Member, if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company or the Managing Member, cause an increased tax liability to any other Member or Assignee as a result of the termination of the Company, in either case for federal or state income or franchise tax purposes (except in the case of a Terminating Capital Transaction or as a result of the Redemption of all LLC Units pursuant to Section 8.6 );

(4) without the Consent of the Managing Member, if such Transfer could, as reasonably determined by the Managing Member, (i) result in the Company being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax or for state income or franchise tax purposes, (ii) adversely affect the ability of any REIT Member or

65

any Affiliate thereof to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject any REIT Member or any Affiliate thereof to any additional taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981 or (iii) be treated as having been effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704, or such Transfer fails to satisfy a “safe-harbor” preventing such treatment (as set forth in Treasury Regulations under Code Section 7704 or any successor provision);

(5) if such Transfer could cause the Company to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “ disqualified person” (as defined in Code Section 4975(c));

(6) if such Transfer could, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101;

(7) if such Transfer could cause the Company (as opposed to the Managing Member) to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act;

(8) if such Transfer could subject the Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended; or

(9)  without the Consent of the Managing Member, which Consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such Transfer could result in the Company having more than 100 Members (including as Members those persons indirectly owning an interest in the Company through a partnership, limited liability company, S corporation or grantor trust (such entity, a “ flow through entity ”), but only if substantially all of the value of such person’s interest in the flow through entity is attributable to the flow through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Company) (the “ One Hundred Member Limit ”).

F.               No Non-Managing Member will take or allow any Affiliate to take any action that would cause a violation of the One Hundred Member Limit.

F.  the Incapacity of the Managing Member, unless prior to or within 90 days after such Incapacity a Majority of Remaining Members agree in writing to continue the business of the Company and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such Incapacity, of a substitute Managing Member; or

G.  the Redemption of all LLC Units (other than those held by the Managing Member).

13.2         Redemption of Non-Managing Member Units

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, on or after such time as the Managing Member has the right to dissolve the Company or upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event or at any time after the expiration of the Tax Protection Period, the Managing Member may, in its sole and absolute discretion, require each Non-Managing Member (by delivering a Call Notice to such Non-Managing Member) to tender all or a portion of its Non-Managing Member Units to the Managing Member in exchange for, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, either (a) an amount of cash equal to the sum of (i) the Cash Amount and (ii) the NMM Sharing Amount, calculated as if all of the Properties then owned by the Company were sold in a taxable transaction at their fair market values, or (b) a number of REIT Shares equal to the sum of (i) the REIT Shares Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date and otherwise in accordance with the procedures and provisions set forth in Sections 8.6A. and 8.6B., and (ii) a number of REIT Shares with a value equal to the amount set forth in Section 13.2(a)(ii).

13.3         Winding Up

A.  Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Company shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Members. After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, 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. The Managing Member (or, in the event that there is no remaining Managing Member, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of the Non-Managing Members (the Managing Member or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator” )) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Company and shall take full account of the Company’s liabilities and property, and the Company property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the Managing Member, include shares of stock in the Managing Member) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

69

(1)  First, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Members and their Assignees (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

(2)  Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Company’s debts and liabilities to the Members, including, but not limited to, any loan made to the Company by a Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including the Managing Member Loan) (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof); and

(3)  The balance, if any, to the Members and any Assignees in accordance with and proportion to their positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

The Managing Member shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII.

B.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.3A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Company, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Company the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Members, the Liquidator may defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Company (including to those Members as creditors) and/or with the Consent of the Managing Member and the Affirmative Consent of the Non-Managing Members, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3A hereof, undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Members, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as approved by the Consent of the Managing Member and the Affirmative Consent of the Non-Managing Members and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

C.  In the event that the Company is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (2)(ii)( g ), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XIII to the Members and Assignees that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) (2)(ii)(b) ( 2 )   to the extent of, and in proportion to, their positive Capital Account balances. If any Member has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. A pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Article XIII may be withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Company liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment

70

obligations owed to the Company, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Members in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.3A hereof as soon as practicable.

13.4         Deemed Contribution and Distribution

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII, in the event that the Company is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)( g ), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Company’s Property shall not be liquidated, the Company’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Company’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company shall be deemed to have contributed its assets and liabilities to a new limited liability company in exchange for an interest in such new limited liability company and, immediately thereafter, the Company will be deemed to liquidate by distributing interests in the new limited liability company to the Members.
