(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, provided , however , that in the event a Reduction Date occurs during any Payment Quarter, a distribution shall be made under this Section 5.1.A(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 Section 5.1.A(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 Shortfall ”), 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 5.1.A(1), 5.1.A(2), 5.6.A(1) and 5.6.B(1) 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 5.1.A(2) and Sections 5.6.A(1) and 5.6.B(1).

(1)                               First, to the holders of LLC Units in accordance with their Preferred Return Shortfalls until the Preferred Return Shortfall for each holder of Non-Managing Member Units is zero, 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 pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.6.D hereof; and

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

Section 7.2                        Certificate of Formation

38

(1)           to reflect the issuance of additional Membership Interests pursuant to Section 4.4, to reflect the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Members in accordance with this Agreement and to amend Exhibit A in connection therewith and to reflect the redemption or other reduction in the number of LLC Units outstanding pursuant to Section 5.6 hereof and as otherwise permitted by this Agreement;

(2)           to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Non-Managing Members in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement;

(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;

D.            Notwithstanding Section 7.3.B and 7.3.C 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 5 or Section 13.3.A(4), or the allocations specified in Article 6 (except as permitted pursuant to Section 4.4 and Section 7.3.C(1) hereof), (iv) materially alter or modify the rights to an Exchange as set forth in Section 8.6, and related definitions hereof or (v) amend this Section 7.3.D.  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.

40

E.            Except as otherwise permitted by Section 11.2, 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:

(1)           cause or permit the Company to merge, consolidate or combine with or into any other partnership, limited partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other person, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, or to reclassify or change its outstanding equity interests; except in connection with a transaction described in Sections 7.1.A(1), 7.1.A(4), and 7.1.A(22);

(2)           sell, dispose, convey or otherwise transfer any of the real properties the Company acquired in connection with the transactions consummated pursuant to the Contribution Agreement (collectively, the “Real Properties” ) 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 a casualty loss, taking by eminent domain or pursuant to the exercise of a purchase option granted to a Person pursuant to any document or instrument executed pursuant to the Contribution Agreement; provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to apply the proceeds of any such casualty or taking to the restoration or replacement of such Real Properties or Successor Properties in a transaction qualifying under Code Section 1033; or

(3)           (A) replace or refinance any nonrecourse indebtedness set forth on Schedule 7.3 encumbering the Real Properties (“ Existing Indebtedness ”), unless such indebtedness is replaced or refinanced with other indebtedness satisfying the requirements set forth below (“ Replacement Indebtedness ”), (B) prepay the Existing Indebtedness or any Replacement Indebtedness, including Replacement Indebtedness assumed or taken subject to in a transaction qualifying under Code Section 1031, and (C) convert the Existing Indebtedness or Replacement Indebtedness from nonrecourse indebtedness to recourse indebtedness; provided , however , the above limitations shall not prevent (i) regularly scheduled periodic principal payments on Existing Indebtedness or Replacement Indebtedness (including full payment at maturity) and (ii) the replacement, prepayment, or refinancing of the Existing Indebtedness or any Replacement Indebtedness, provided such replacement, prepayment, or refinancing shall be made with Replacement Indebtedness.  Any Replacement Indebtedness shall (x) be nonrecourse, (y) not require principal repayments during such period that are greater than the payments required on the Existing Indebtedness replaced by such debt during such period, and (z) be secured solely by the Real Property or Properties which secure the Existing Indebtedness or the Replacement Indebtedness that is being refinanced.  The determination of whether indebtedness is recourse or nonrecourse shall be determined under Code Section 752.

41

(4)           Each Non-Managing Member shall have the option from time to time during the Tax Protection Period to guarantee debt of the Company (or enter into a reimbursement agreement with respect to debt of the Company) in an amount up to its share of the Recourse Debt Amount as determined by the Non-Managing Member Representative, provided that the aggregate amount to be guaranteed shall not exceed the Recourse Debt Amount.  If a Non-Managing Member elects to guarantee debt as described in this Section 7.3.E(4), the Company, the Managing Member, and such Non-Managing Member agree to enter into a reimbursement agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.  The Company shall be required to ensure that there is a sufficient level of debt available to all Non-Managing Members for such guarantees, but not greater in the aggregate, than the Recourse Debt Amount; provided, however, that each Non-Managing Member shall be solely responsible for providing accurate information to the Company regarding the level of debt deemed “sufficient” by such Non-Managing Member, and the Company shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations under this Section 7.3.E(4) with respect to a Non-Managing Member if it acts in good faith reliance on information delivered to the Company by such Non-Managing Members without any duty to question the accuracy of such information. The Company may incur or repay such indebtedness from time to time as it so chooses; provided , however , if the Company intends to repay, in whole or in part, or to substitute other debt for, indebtedness of the Company that one or more Non-Managing Members has guaranteed (or with respect to which one or more Non-Managing Members has entered into a reimbursement agreement) in accordance with this Section 7.3.E(4), the Company shall provide notice to the Non-Managing Member Representative prior to such repayment or substitution and such additional information as the Non-Managing Member Representative shall reasonably request to permit such Non-Managing Member(s) to decide whether or not to enter into different and/or additional guarantees or reimbursement agreements (as the case may be).  The notice described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied so long as the Company provides notice to the Non-Managing Member Representative at least fifteen (15) calendar days prior to any such repayment or substitution of indebtedness.

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 in any of the actions described in the foregoing subparagraphs (1) and (2), the Managing Member may take such action only after providing the Non-Managing Members with not less than 30 days notice of its intention to do so.

F.             Except as otherwise permitted by Section 11.2, the Company shall pay to the Non-Managing Members the Make-Whole Payment as provided below if the Company takes any action to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company during the Dissolution Protection Period.  In the event the Managing Member intends to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company following the Dissolution Protection Period, it shall give not less than thirty (30) days notice to that effect to the Non-Managing Member prior to taking such action.  In the event the Managing Member provides the Non-Managing Members notice of its intent to dissolve or otherwise terminate the Company after June 30th of any year, the closing of the termination or dissolution shall not occur prior to January 1 of the subsequent year.

42

G.            Any event in Sections 7.3.E and 7.3.F 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 Non-Managing Member an amount (the “Make-Whole Payment” ) equal to the aggregate federal, state and local income taxes, if any, incurred by the 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 gain or income recognized by the Non-Managing Members multiplied by the then highest rate or rates applicable to such gain or income for the year in which such gain or income 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.  The Make-Whole Payment hall 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.

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 7.3.G, and no Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to 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) days after the receipt by the Company of the notice in accordance with the preceding sentence, the 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 7.3.G).  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) 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.

43

Section 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 5 and 6 hereof).

B.            Subject to Sections 7.4.C and 15.12 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.  Subject to Section 15.12 hereof, 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 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.            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).

44

Section 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.

Section 7.6         Contracts with Affiliates

A.            Subject to Section 7.6.B 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.

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; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing Member shall at all times be entitled to cause the Company to mortgage, pledge, encumber or hypothecate the Properties, any property owned by a Subsidiary of the Company or any portion thereof as security for the debt of Managing Member or any of its Affiliates.

Section 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

45

established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (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 proceeding 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 7.7.A.  The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A 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.

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 7.7.A 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.

46

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.

Section 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 or officers 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 or officer acted in good faith.

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 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.

47

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, and its officers’ and directors’, 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.

Section 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 reasonably believes to be within such Person’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 the Managing Member to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for the Managing Member otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements or (iii) to allow the Managing Member 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.

Section 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.

48

Section 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 the Managing Member or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Company.

Section 8.6         Exchange Rights

A.            On or after the First Exchange Date, each Non-Managing Member shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to require the Managing Member to acquire all or a portion of those Non-Managing Member Units held by such Non-Managing Member which were issued by the Company on the Initial Closing Date (the “First Traunch Non-Managing Member Units” ), and on or after the Second Exchange Date, each Non-Managing Member shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) to require the Managing Member to acquire all or a portion of those Non-Managing Member Units held by such Non-Managing Members which were issued by the Company at any time after the Initial Closing Date (the “Second Traunch Non-Managing Member Units” ) (all such Non-Managing Member Units being hereafter called “Tendered Units” ) in exchange (an “ Exchange” ) for, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, either the Cash Amount or a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares Amount payable on the Specified Exchange Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a third party lender that has acquired a Membership Interest upon the foreclosure of debt secured by such Membership Interest in accordance with Section 11.3.A hereof shall have the right to tender such Non-Managing Member Units for Exchange (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) and require the Managing Member to acquire all of those Non-Managing Member Units which were acquired by such lender pursuant to such foreclosure and which were issued by the Company at least one year prior to the related Specified Exchange Date regardless of whether the Second Exchange Date will have occurred by the related Specified Exchange Date.  Any Exchange shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to the Managing Member by the Non-Managing Member exercising the Exchange right (the “Tendering Party” ).  On the Specified Exchange Date, the Tendering Party shall sell the Tendered Units to the

51

Managing Member in exchange for, at the election of and in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member, either the Cash Amount or a number of REIT Shares equal to the REIT Shares Amount.  Any Tendered Units so acquired by the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 8.6.A 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 Managing Member may reasonably require in connection with the Ownership Limit and (ii) in the event the REIT Shares issuable upon such Exchange are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in the Managing Member’s view, to effect compliance with the Securities Act.  If a Cash Amount is to be delivered upon the Exchange, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Managing Member’s sole discretion, in immediately available funds.  If REIT Shares are to be delivered upon the Exchange, the REIT Shares Amount shall be delivered by the Managing Member as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable REIT Shares (and, if applicable, Rights), free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the Ownership Limit, and other restrictions provided in the Charter or the Bylaws of the Managing Member in the event the REIT Shares issuable upon such Exchange are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “ blue sky ” laws.  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 Exchange Date.  REIT Shares issued upon an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 8.6.A 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 issuable upon such Exchange are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, 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.

B.            Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Exchange pursuant to this Section 8.6:

(1)           The consummation of any Exchange shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

(2)           Each Tendering Party shall continue to own all LLC Units subject to any Exchange, and be treated as a Member with respect to such LLC Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such LLC Units are Transferred to the Managing Member and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Exchange Date. Until a Specified Exchange Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Managing Member pursuant to Section 8.6.A 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 acquisition.

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

52

(1)           A written affidavit, dated the same date as, and accompanying, the Notice of Exchange, (a) disclosing 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) representing that, after giving effect to the Exchange, 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 Exchange on the Specified Exchange Date; and

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

D.            The number of LLC Units outstanding on the date of a distribution pursuant to Section 5.6.A(2) will be reduced on the date of the distribution (the “ Reduction Date ”) by the aggregate number of LLC Units (the “ Total Units ”) determined by dividing (i) the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate amount of the distributions so made pursuant to Section 5.6.A(2) over (b) the NMM Sharing Amount divided by the aggregate of the Non-Managing Members’ Percentage Interests by (ii) the Value on the Reduction Date.  The Non-Managing Member Units shall be reduced (each such reduction a “Reduction” ) by a number of LLC Units (rounded down to the nearest whole unit) (the “ 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 Section 5.6.A(2), over (b) the NMM Sharing Amount by (ii) the Value on the Reduction Date.  The 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.  The Managing Member Units shall be reduced by a number of Managing Member Units equal to the difference between the number of Total Units and the number of Reduction Units.  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 8.6.D or otherwise) to zero, 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).

A.            Except in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2.B, the Managing Member shall not withdraw from the Company and shall not Transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Company without the Consent of all of the Non-Managing Members, which may be given or withheld by each Non-Managing Member in its sole and absolute discretion.  Upon any Transfer of the Membership Interest of the Managing Member in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, the transferee shall become a Substitute Managing Member for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor Managing Member, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the Managing Member, once such transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Membership Interest so acquired.  It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor Managing Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Membership Interest, and such Transfer shall relieve the transferor Managing Member of its obligations under this Agreement accruing subsequent to the date of such Transfer.  In the event the Managing Member withdraws from the Company, in violation of this Agreement or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the Incapacity of the Managing Member, all of the remaining Members may elect to continue the Company business by selecting a Substitute Managing Member in accordance with the Act.

B.            The Managing Member shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another person, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, or change of its outstanding equity interests (a “Termination Transaction” ), unless either (i) the Termination Transaction has been approved by the Consent of the Non-Managing Members or (ii) in connection with the Termination Transaction, all holders of LLC Units (other than the Managing Member) either will receive for each LLC Unit, or will be entitled to receive, for each LLC Unit (in lieu of the REIT Shares Amount) upon an Exchange of the LLC Unit pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof, an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the amount that would have been paid to the holder had the LLC Unit been Exchanged for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof immediately prior to the consummation of the Termination Transaction subject, in the event of an Exchange of the LLC Unit pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof subsequent to the consummation of the Termination Transaction, to further adjustment to the extent provided in this Agreement to compensate for the dilutive effect of certain transactions described herein; provided, however, that, if, in connection with the Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding REIT Shares, each

57

Member shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such Member would have received had it exchanged its LLC Units for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6 immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer.

Section 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 and otherwise obtaining the consent of the Managing Member, which consent (i) may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to taxable Transfers, and (ii) with respect to non-taxable Transfers, shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however , that notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement, 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 of such Non-Managing Member in liquidation of such partner’s interest in such Non-Managing Member, to a family member of such Non-Managing Member or to an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) or 501(c)(3) of the Code, so long as any such Transfer would not otherwise violate the provisions of this Agreement.

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.  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.

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 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.

Section 11.4      Substituted Members

A.            Each Non-Managing 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 so long as the Transfer of such Non-Managing Member’s LLC Units is otherwise made pursuant to the terms and in satisfaction of the conditions of this Agreement, specifically including the provisions of Section 11.3 and Sections 11.4.B and C. hereof.

B.            A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with this Article 11 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).

C.            Upon receipt of written notice from a Non-Managing Member that the transferee of its LLC Units is to be admitted by the Company as a Substituted Member, the Managing Member shall amend Exhibit A 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).

Section 11.5      Assignees

If upon the Transfer of its LLC Units, the transferring Non-Managing Member does not substitute the transferee as a Member in its place 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

59

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

(b)           in violation of applicable law;

60

(c)           without the consent of the Managing Member, which may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion 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 Exchange of LLC Units pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof);

(d)           without the consent of the Managing Member, which may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion if such Transfer could, as determined in the sole discretion of 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 the Managing Member to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the Managing Member to any additional taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981 or (iii) such Transfer could 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);

(e)           if such Transfer would 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));

(f)            if such Transfer would, 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;

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

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

(i)            without the consent of the Managing Member, which may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such Transfer would 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 ”).

(4)           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 13 .

B.            Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.3.A 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, in its sole and absolute discretion, 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 distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.3.A hereof, undivided interests in such Company assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation.  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 the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable 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 13 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

65

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.  In the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members pursuant to this Article 13 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 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 13.3.A hereof as soon as practicable.

Section 13.4      Deemed Distribution and Recontribution

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13 , 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 distributed its assets in kind to the Members, who shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such assets subject to all Company liabilities, all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts.  Immediately thereafter, the Members shall be deemed to have recontributed the Company assets in kind to the Company, which shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such assets subject to all such liabilities.

Section 13.5      Rights of Members

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution, (b) no Member shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Company and (c) except as provided in this Agreement, no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.

Section 13.6      Notice of Dissolution

In the event that a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for an election or objection by one or more Members pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, result in a dissolution of the Company, the Managing Member shall, within 30 days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Members and, in the Managing Member’s sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act, to all other parties with whom the Company regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member), and the Managing Member may, or, if required by the Act, shall, publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Company regularly conduct business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing Member).

Section 13.7      Cancellation of Certificate

Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Company’s cash and property as provided in Section 13.3 hereof, the Company shall be terminated and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Company as a foreign limited liability company in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company shall be taken.

66

Section 13.8      Reasonable Time for Winding-Up

A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.3 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between the Members during the period of liquidation.

Section 13.9      Liability of Liquidator

The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs, damages, and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of or incidental to the Liquidator’s taking of any action authorized under or within the scope of this Agreement; provided, however , that the Liquidator shall not be entitled to indemnification, and shall not be held harmless, where the claim, demand, liability, cost, damage or cause of action at issue arises out of (i) a matter entirely unrelated to the Liquidator’s action or conduct pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) the proven willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Liquidator.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, to the extent any amount paid, credited or reimbursed to the Managing Member or its officers, directors, employees or agents, whether as a reimbursement, fee, expense or indemnity (a “REIT Payment” ), would constitute gross income to the Managing Member for purposes of Sections 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) of the Code, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of such REIT Payments, as selected by the Managing Member in its discretion from among items of potential reimbursement, fees, expenses and indemnities, shall be reduced for any Fiscal Year so that the REIT Payments, as so reduced, to, for or with respect to such REIT Member shall not exceed the lesser of:

(i)            an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) four and seventeen one-hundredths percent (4.17%) of the Managing Member’s total gross income (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments) for the Fiscal Year that is described in subsections (A) through (H) of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code) derived by the Managing Member from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (H) of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments); or

(ii)           an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Managing Member’s total gross income (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments) for the Fiscal Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Section 856(c)(3) of the Code over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Section 856(c)(3)) of the Code derived by the Managing Member from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Section 856(c)(3) of the Code (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments);

70

provided, however , that REIT Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above may be made if the Managing Member, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts would not adversely affect the Managing Member’s ability to qualify as a REIT.  To the extent that REIT Payments may not be made in a Fiscal Year as a consequence of the limitations set forth in this Section 15.12, such REIT Payments shall carry over and be treated as arising in the following Fiscal Year; provided, however, that such amount shall not carry over for more than five (5) years, and if not paid within such five (5) year period, shall expire; provided, further, that (a) as REIT Payments are made, such payments shall be applied first to carry over amounts outstanding, if any, and (b) with respect to carry over amounts for more than one Fiscal Year, such payment shall be applied to the earliest Fiscal Year first.

Section 15.13   No Partition

No Member nor any successor-in-interest to a Member shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have any property of the Company partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute to any proceeding at law or in equity to have such property of the Company partitioned, and each Member, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns hereby waives any such right.  It is the intention of the Members that the rights of the parties hereto and their successors-in-interest to Company property, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the rights of the Members and their successors-in-interest shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.

A.            All actions taken by the Non-Managing Member Representative pursuant to those provisions of this Agreement which authorize the Non-Managing Member Representative to so act shall be binding upon all Non-Managing Members as if they had individually taken such action and each Non-Managing Member, by entering into or agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, authorize the Non-Managing Member Representative to take such actions on his, her or its behalf and agree that the actions so taken shall be binding upon him, her or it to the same extent as if he, she or it had taken the action directly.

B.            The holders of a majority of the outstanding Non-Managing Members Units shall be entitled to replace the Non-Managing Member Representative by delivering to the Managing Member a written notice signed by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Non-Managing Members Units stating (i) that the notice is being provided to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 15.14.B, (ii) that the Members signing the notice own of record on the books of the Company a majority of the outstanding Non-Managing Members Units, (iii) that the Members signing the notice desire to replace the person then serving as the Non-Managing Member Representative with the person named in the notice, and (iv) specifying the date on which the appointment of the named individual to replace the then serving Non-Managing Member Representative shall be effective (which shall be a date not earlier than the fourteenth

71

day after the date on which the notice shall have been delivered to the Managing Member).  The appointment of the new Non-Managing Member Representative specified in the notice shall be effective on the date specified in the notice and upon effectiveness, the individual previously serving as the Non-Managing Member Representative shall cease to be entitled to act in that capacity under this Agreement.
