Mandatory Additional Capital Contribution (the portion thereof not contributed

Managing Member shall inform the other Member (the “Non-Defaulting Member”) in
writing of such Deficiency (a “Deficiency Notice”) within five (5) days after

shall deliver written notice (an “Election Notice”) to the Defaulting Member,
stating that it elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to do one of the
following in connection with such Deficiency: (i) withdraw the corresponding
required contribution that was made by it in connection with such Deficiency;
(ii) not withdraw its own contribution and contribute an amount equal to the
Deficiency (such contributed amount, a “Deficiency Contribution”), which
contribution shall be treated as provided in Section 4.03(b) below as the
Non-Defaulting Member may elect in its sole and absolute discretion; or
(iii) neither withdraw its contribution nor make a Deficiency Contribution. In
the event that the Non-Defaulting Member withdraws the corresponding required
contribution that was made by it in connection with such Deficiency or neither
withdraws its corresponding required contribution nor makes a Deficiency
Contribution, such Non-Defaulting Member shall have no liability for failure to
make its required contribution (as applicable) or any Deficiency Contribution.
If the election under clause (ii) above is made within the required time period,
then the Non-Defaulting Member shall have an additional thirty (30) days after

Deficiency Contribution. If the Non-Defaulting Member shall fail to deliver a
timely Election Notice, it shall be deemed to have delivered an Election Notice
making the election described in clause (iii) above.

(b) A Non-Defaulting Member who makes the election under clause (a)(ii) or
(a)(iii) above shall have the following options:

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(I) it may elect to have the entire amount contributed by it (including both
such Non-Defaulting Member’s share of the Additional Capital Contribution and
any portion of the Deficiency Contribution it may make) be treated as a
contribution (“Adjustment Contribution”) governed by clause (i) below;

(II) it may elect to have any portion of its share of such Additional Capital
Contribution and any share of the Deficiency Contribution it makes be treated as
an Adjustment Contribution governed by clause (i) below and the remaining
portion of such total amount be treated as a loan to the Company (“Deficiency
Loan”) governed by clause (ii) below; or

(III) it may elect to have the entire amount contributed by it (including both
such Non-Defaulting Member’s share of the Additional Capital Contribution and
any portion of the Deficiency Contribution it may make) be treated as a
Deficiency Loan governed by clause (ii) below.

Such election shall be made by written notice to the other Member within thirty
(30) days after the earlier of (x) delivery of an Election Notice, or
(y) expiration of the period for delivery of an Election Notice. If such
Non-Defaulting Member fails to deliver such notice within such 30-day period,
then such Non-Defaulting Member shall be deemed to have elected to have the
entire amount contributed by it in connection with a particular Additional
Capital Contribution (including both the Non-Defaulting Member’s share of the
Additional Capital Contribution and any portion of the Deficiency Contribution
it makes) be treated as a Deficiency Loan under clause (III) above. In addition
to the foregoing options, after a Member has elected (or is deemed to have
elected) to have an amount advanced by it be treated as a Deficiency Loan, it
may thereafter elect to have the outstanding balance of such Deficiency Loan,
together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon through the Conversion
Date, be converted to an Adjustment Contribution by delivering written notice
(“Conversion Notice”) of such election to the other Member no later than ninety
(90) days after the origination of the Deficiency Loan. Such conversion shall
take effect on the date (“Conversion Date”) which is thirty (30) days following
such Member’s delivery of the Conversion Notice to the other Member. On the
Conversion Date, (A) the Deficiency Loan so converted shall be deemed to have
been repaid to such Member, and (B) such Non-Defaulting Member shall be deemed
to have made an Adjustment Contribution equal to the then outstanding balance of
such Deficiency Loan, plus the interest accrued and unpaid thereon. The terms of
each Adjustment Contribution and each Deficiency Loan shall be governed by the
following provisions:

(i) If a Non-Defaulting Member makes an Adjustment Contribution or timely elects
to have a Deficiency Loan converted to an Adjustment Contribution, then the
Members’ Percentage Interests shall be recalculated by the Managing Member in
good faith subject to review and approval by Walton Street, effective as of the
date the Deficiency was required to have been contributed by the Defaulting
Member (or, in the case of a Deficiency Loan which is converted to an Adjustment
Contribution, on the Conversion Date) as follows: (A) the amount of Capital
Contributions made by the Non-Defaulting Member as of such date shall be deemed
increased by the amount of any Deficiency Contribution and Deficiency Loan (but
only to the extent that such Deficiency Loan is then being converted to an
Adjustment

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contribution) made by the Non-Defaulting Member as of such date; and (B) the
amount of Capital Contributions made by all Members as of such date shall be
deemed increased by the amount of any Deficiency Contribution and Deficiency
Loan (but only to the extent that such Deficiency Loan is then being converted
to an Adjustment Contribution) made by the Non-Defaulting Member as of such
date. Upon the written request of any Member after completion of an adjustment
to the Percentage Interest of each Member as provided above, the Managing Member
shall confirm such adjustment in writing.

(ii) The terms of each Deficiency Loan shall be as follows: (A) interest shall
accrue on the outstanding balance of such Deficiency Loan at the Applicable Rate
per annum, compounded quarterly; (B) such Deficiency Loan shall be a loan and
not a contribution; (C) no Member shall be entitled to any distributions under
Article VI unless and until such Deficiency Loan and all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon has been paid in full to the Member making the same, and all
such distributions which otherwise would be made under Article IV shall instead
be paid directly to the Member making Deficiency Loans that remain outstanding
until the Deficiency Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon have been
paid in full (any such payments shall first be applied to unpaid interest
accruing thereon, and then to principal); (D) the Deficiency Loan shall be due
and payable in full upon the earlier of the tenth (10th) anniversary of the
origination of the Deficiency Loan or the liquidation of the Company (without
any prepayment premium or penalty); (E) the Deficiency Loan shall provide that
it may not be accelerated prior to maturity for any reason (other than in
connection with a liquidation of the Company), including non-payment, and shall
have no financial or other covenants; (F) the Deficiency Loan shall be
unsecured; and (G) neither the Company nor any Member shall have any personal
liability for the payment of any Deficiency Loan or any interest accrued
thereon. In the event that more than one Deficiency Loan remains outstanding,
the same shall be paid on a pro rata basis, based on the relative proportions of
the outstanding balances of principal and interest with respect thereto. In any
instance in which a Member may make a Deficiency Loan, such Member may, at its
option, cause an Affiliate of such Member to make such loan on the same terms
and conditions as the Member; provided, however, that any such Affiliate shall
not have the right to convert such Deficiency Loan to an Adjustment
Contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Member associated with such
Affiliate may elect to have such Deficiency Loan converted to an Adjustment
Contribution by timely delivering a Conversion Notice in the manner set forth
above. In such event, (x) such Member shall be deemed to have converted the
balance of such Deficiency Loan (including all accrued and unpaid interest) into
an Adjustment Contribution for the benefit of such Member, and (y) the
Deficiency Loan so converted shall be deemed to have been repaid.

(c) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the other Members would not be
entering into this Agreement were it not for (i) the Members agreeing to make
the Capital Contributions provided for in Section 4.02, and (ii) the remedy
provisions set forth above in this Section 4.03. Each Member acknowledges and
agrees that the remedy provisions set forth in this Section 4.03 are fair, just
and equitable in all respects.

4.04 Capital Accounts.

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A separate Capital Account will be maintained for each Member in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Consistent therewith, the Capital
Account of each Member will be determined and adjusted as follows:

(a) Each Member’s Capital Account will be credited with:

(i) any contributions of cash made by such Member to the capital of the Company
plus the fair market value of any property contributed by such Member to the
capital of the Company (net of any liabilities to which such property is subject
or which are assumed by the Company);

(ii) the Member’s distributive share of Net Profit and any items in the nature
of income or gain specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.02;
and

(iii) any other increases required by Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), without duplication.

(b) Each Member’s Capital Account will be debited with:

(i) any distributions of cash made from the Company to such Member plus the fair
market value of any property distributed in kind to such Member (net of any
liabilities to which such property is subject or which are assumed by such
Member);

(ii) the Member’s distributive share of Net Loss and any items in the nature of
expenses or losses specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.02;
and

(iii) any other decreases required by Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), without duplication.

The initial Capital Account balance of each Member is set forth on Exhibit A
attached hereto, which balances have been determined in accordance with the
provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). Any expenses
borne by a Member for its own account will not increase such Member’s Capital
Account, nor affect its share of Profits or Losses. The provisions of this
Section 4.04 and any other provisions of this Agreement relating to the
maintenance of Capital Accounts have been included in this Agreement to comply
with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those
provisions.

4.05 No Further Capital Contributions.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or with the prior written consent
of the Members, no Member shall be required or entitled to contribute any other
or further capital to the Company, nor shall any Member be required or entitled
to loan any funds to the Company. No Member will have any obligation to restore
any negative balance in its Capital Account at any time including upon
liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

6.01 Allocations.

For each taxable year or portion thereof, Net Profit and Net Loss shall be
allocated (after all allocations pursuant to Section 6.02 have been made) as
follows:

(a) Net Loss shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce,
proportionately, the differences between their respective Partially Adjusted
Capital Accounts and Target Accounts for such year; provided, however, that no
portion of the Net Loss for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member
whose Target Account is greater than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital
Account for such taxable year; and provided, further, that in no event shall an
allocation under this Section 6.01(a) be made to Walton Street to the extent
that it would cause Walton Street to be allocated a percentage of overall
partnership loss within the meaning of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.514(c)-2(c)(1) for the taxable year lower than its Fractions
Percentage except to the extent that (i) such allocation is required to reverse
a prior allocation of Net Profit to a Member in excess of such Member’s
Percentage Interest, and is in the same proportion as such prior allocation,
(ii) the result is to allocate losses or deductions to one or more Members who
bear a disproportionately large share (relative to each Member’s Percentage
Interest but in accordance with the distribution provisions of Section 6.03) of
the economic burden of such losses or deduction if, taking into account all of
the facts, circumstances and information (including bona fide financial
projections), such losses or deductions had a low likelihood of occurring and
such allocation otherwise satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.514(c)-2(g), or (iii) such allocation otherwise is disregarded in
determining whether Walton Street satisfies the “fractions rule” set forth in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(b)(1)(i) or otherwise does not cause the
allocations set forth in this Agreement to fail to qualify as “permitted
allocations” within the meaning of Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder.

(b) Net Profit shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce,
proportionately, the differences between their respective Target Accounts and
Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such year; provided, however, that no
portion of the Net Profit for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member
whose Target Account is less than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital
Account for such taxable year, and provided further that in no event shall an
allocation under this Section 6.01(b) be made to Walton Street to the extent it
would cause Walton Street to be allocated a percentage of overall partnership
income within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(c)(1) for
the taxable year in excess of its Fractions Percentage except to the extent such
allocation is disregarded in determining whether Walton Street satisfies the
“fractions rule” set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(b)(1)(i) or
otherwise does not cause the allocations set forth in this Agreement to fail to
qualify as “permitted allocations” within the meaning of Section 514(c)(9)(E) of
the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no allocation of
Net Profit shall be made to Walton Street in excess of its Fractions Percentage,
and no allocation of Net Loss shall be made to the Members other than Walton
Street in excess of its

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

respective Fractions Percentage, in either case, except as otherwise permitted
in accordance with the “fractions rule” under Section 514(c)(9) of the Code and
the Treasury Regulations thereunder, as determined by Walton Street.

6.02 Allocations and Compliance with Section 704(b).

The following special allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be made
in the following order:

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if
there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or in any Member Minimum Gain
during any taxable year or other period, prior to any other allocation pursuant
hereto, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Profit for such year
(and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount and manner required by
Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4). The items of Profit to
be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2.

(b) Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be
allocated (as nearly as possible) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2 to
the Members, pro rata in proportion to their respective Fractions Percentage.

(c) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall
be allocated to the Member that made or guaranteed or is otherwise liable with
respect to the loan to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable
in accordance with principles under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

(d) Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or
distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or (6) which causes or increases a negative balance in his or its Capital
Account shall be allocated items of Profit sufficient to eliminate such increase
or negative balance caused thereby, as quickly as possible, to the extent
required by such Treasury Regulation.

(e) No allocation of an item of Loss shall be made to any Member if, as a result
of such allocation, such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.
Any such disallowed allocation shall be made to the Members entitled to receive
such allocation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests. If any item of Loss is reallocated under this
subsection 6.02(e), subsequent allocations of Profit and Loss (and items
thereof) shall be made so that, to the extent possible, the net amount allocated
under this subsection 6.02(e) equals the amount that would have been allocated
to each Member if no reallocation had occurred under this subsection 6.02(e).

(f) For purposes of Section 752 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder, excess nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in
proportion to their respective Fractions Percentage.

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) The allocations contained in Sections 6.02(a), 6.02(c), 6.02(d) and 6.02(e)
(the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements
of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations
shall be taken into account in allocating Profits, Losses, Net Profit and Net
Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so
that to the extent possible, the aggregate of (i) the allocations made to each
Member under this Agreement other than the Regulatory Allocations and (ii) the
Regulatory Allocations made to each Member shall equal the net amount that would
have been allocated to each Member had the Regulatory Allocations not occurred,
so as to achieve the intended results, as expressed in Section 6.04(b),
regarding the targeted allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses (after taking
into account the allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.02 and the
application of Section 6.04(b)). The Members shall take account of the fact that
certain of the Regulatory Allocations will occur at a period in the future for
purposes of applying this Section 6.02(g).

(h) To the extent the restrictions on certain allocations set forth in the last
proviso in Sections 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), or in 6.01(c), actually affect the
allocation of Net Profits or Net Loss or other items of income, gain, loss and
deduction, such restriction shall be taken into account in making allocations in
future periods so that to the extent possible and subject to such restrictions,
the cumulative allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses to each Member equal
the amount that would have been allocated such Member without such provisos, so
as to achieve the intended results, as expressed in Section 6.04(b), regarding
the targeted allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses (after taking into
account the allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.02 and the application
of Section 6.04(b)).

(i) The provisions of this Article VI shall be interpreted in a manner
consistent with the Members’ intent that the allocations contained herein are
“permitted allocations” under Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.

6.03 Distributions.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.04 and subject to payment of any outstanding
amounts due under any Deficiency Loan, the Company shall, as determined by the
Members as a Major Decision, make distributions of Net Cash Flow to the Members
in the following manner and order of priority:

(i) First: Each distribution of Net Cash Flow shall be distributed, in
preference and priority to any other distribution of Net Cash Flow, to the
Members in proportion to their then respective Percentage Interests, until
Walton Street has achieved an aggregate Internal Rate of Return of twelve
percent (12%);

(ii) Second: The balance, if any, of such distribution shall be distributed as
follows: (A) ten percent (10%) of the balance of such distribution to SHR, and
(B) the remainder to the Members in proportion to their then respective
Percentage Interests, until Walton Street has achieved an aggregate Internal
Rate of Return of fifteen percent (15%); and

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) Third: The balance, if any, of such distribution shall be distributed as
follows: (A) twenty percent (20%) of the balance of such distribution to SHR,
and (B) the remainder to the Members in proportion to their then respective
Percentage Interests.

(b) The Members acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of this
Section 6.03, any distributions of Net Cash Flow (as defined in the operating
agreement of Walton/SHR FPH Holdings, LLC (the “Parallel Lessee Operating
Agreement”)) to Walton Street and/or SHR (or its Affiliate) by Walton/SHR FPH
Holdings, LLC under the Parallel Lessee Operating Agreement shall be deemed to
have been distributed to Walton Street and/or SHR (as applicable) under this
Section 6.03.

6.04 Distributions in Liquidation.

(a) Upon the dissolution and winding–up of the Company, the proceeds of sale and
other assets of the Company distributable to the Members under
Section 11.02(c)(iii) shall be distributed, not later than the latest time
specified for such distributions pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the Members in proportion to and in
accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances (after
adjustment to reflect the allocations pursuant to this Article VI including
Section 6.04(b)).

(b) The parties intend that the allocations made pursuant to this Article VI
shall produce final Capital Account balances of the Members that will permit
liquidating distributions that are made in accordance with final Capital Account
balances to be made in a manner identical to the order of priorities set forth
in Section 6.03(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (except to the
extent inconsistent with Section 704(b) of the Code or compliance with the
“fractions rule” set forth in Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and the
regulations thereunder) to the extent that the allocations made pursuant to this
Agreement would fail to produce such final Capital Account balances as of the
close of any taxable year of the Company (assuming that all assets of the
Company at the close of such year are sold for their adjusted tax basis or for
their adjusted Book Basis for assets that have been revalued prior to that
time): Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company for the current taxable year and
future taxable years (or items of Profit and Loss for such years) shall be
reallocated among the Members as necessary to produce such result (or, to the
extent it is not possible to achieve such result with allocations of items of
Profit and Loss for the current year and future years, for prior open taxable
years). For purposes of applying this Section 6.04, a Member’s Capital Account
shall be deemed to be increased by its remaining share of Company Minimum Gain
and Member Minimum Gain as of the close of such year.

(c) With the election of the Managing Member, a pro rata portion of the
distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members under the preceding
paragraph may be distributed to a trust reasonably established, for a reasonable
period of time, for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating
Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any
contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out
of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any trust established under
this

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 6.04 will be distributed to the Members from time to time by the trustee
of the trust upon approval by the Members as a Major Decision in the same
proportions as the amount distributed to the trust by the Company would
otherwise have been distributed to the Members under this Agreement.

6.05 Tax Matters.

The Members intend for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes. The Members shall make all applicable elections,
determinations and other decisions under the Code and applicable Treasury
Regulations, including, without limitation, the deductibility of a particular
item of expense and the positions to be taken on the Company’s tax return, and
shall approve the settlement or compromise of all audit matters raised by the
Internal Revenue Service affecting the Members generally. The Members shall each
take reporting positions on their respective federal, state and local income tax
returns consistent with the positions determined for the Company by the Members.
The Managing Member shall cause all federal, state and local income and other
tax returns to be timely filed by the Company and shall be authorized to execute
such returns; provided that any state and federal tax returns to be filed by the
Managing Member shall be subject to the approval of the other Members, it being
understood that the other Members shall have twenty-one (21) calendar days after
receipt of copies of such tax returns from the Managing Member to approve or
disapprove of such federal and state tax returns and any failure to do so within
such period shall be deemed a waiver of any approval rights with respect to such
returns.

6.06 Tax Matters Partner.

The Managing Member shall be the tax matters partner within the meaning of
Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and, subject to Section 6.05, shall exercise all
rights, obligations and duties of a tax matters partner under the Code;
provided, however, that the tax matters partner shall notify the Members of the
status of any proceeding before the IRS, other governmental agency, court or
administrative body and shall provide copies of any pleadings, briefs, petition,
submissions and correspondence to each other Member, shall not enter into any
settlement agreement which binds another Member pursuant to Code § 6224(c)(3)
without the express written consent of such Member, and shall not enter into any
settlement pursuant to Rule 248(a) or (b) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure
of the United States Tax Court without the express written consent of each other
Member.

6.07 Section 704(c).

In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury
Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and tax depreciation with
respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, or with
respect to any property which has a Book Basis different than its adjusted tax
basis, shall, solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the
Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis
of such property to the Company and the Book Basis of such property, in
accordance with Section 4.04. Any elections, accounting conventions or other
decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Managing Member in a
manner that (i) reasonably reflects the purposes and intention of this
Agreement, and (ii) complies with Code Sections 704(b) and

 

28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. For such allocations, the
Managing Member may select any method permitted in the Treasury Regulations
under Code Section 704(c) with respect to such allocations, including the
“traditional method”, the “traditional method with curative allocations” and the
“remedial allocation method”.

6.08 Withholding.

The Company shall be permitted to withhold from distributions all amounts
required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1446 of the Code or any other
provision of federal, state, or local tax law, and such amounts shall be treated
as amounts actually distributed to the Members for all purposes under this
Agreement. If the Managing Member reasonably determines that the Company has
insufficient liquid assets to satisfy such withholding obligation, the Member as
to which withholding applies shall contribute cash to the Company in an amount
sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation.

6.09 No Tax Confidentiality.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 13.14, each Member (and each employee, agent or
representative of each Member) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Company and
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to the Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except
to the extent maintaining such confidentiality is necessary to comply with any
applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws.

6.10 Certain Transactions.

The Members shall not knowingly cause the Company to engage directly or
indirectly in a transaction that is a “listed transaction” as defined in
Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2). If any Member becomes aware that the
Company has engaged directly or indirectly in a transaction that is a listed
transaction or a “prohibited reportable transaction” as defined by Code
Section 4965(e), it shall promptly notify each of the other Members.

Company, the Budget and Operating Plan annually at least sixty (60) calendar
days prior to the end of each fiscal year with respect to the following fiscal
year, together with five (5) year forward projections. In formulating the
comprehensive Budget and Operating Plan, to the extent reasonably feasible at
the time of preparation thereof, the Managing Member will develop, or cause to
be developed, at the expense of the Company, proposed strategies regarding
(i) plans for leasing, financing, sale and rehabilitation of any real property
and proposed reductions to Expenses and other Company costs and expenses and
increases in revenues, (ii) preparation and release of all promotional and
advertising relating to, and a marketing plan for, the Company Property or

8.08 REIT Status.

(a) Even though the Company will not be taxed as a “real estate investment
trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company shall, for so long as
Strategic REIT owns a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Company,
operate (and shall structure its investment activities, operations and any
Subsidiaries or Acquisition Vehicles) in a manner that would permit the Company
to comply with all of the requirements necessary to enable the Company to
qualify as a “real estate investment trust” for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. The Company shall provide all information reasonably requested by
Strategic REIT that is necessary for Strategic REIT to satisfy its filing
obligations with the Internal Revenue Service and any other federal, state or
local governmental authority which requires reports or filings regarding the
status of the Strategic REIT as a “real estate investment trust”. In addition,
the Company will provide such information reasonably requested by Strategic REIT
that is necessary for Strategic

 

38

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

REIT to satisfy its reporting obligation with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission and any other federal, state or local governmental authority
which requires Strategic REIT to make reports or filings due to its status as a
publicly-traded corporation. Nothing in this Section 8.08(a) shall affect,
impede or otherwise limit any Member’s right to cause a Sale of Company Property
as provided in Section 9.05 To the extent that any of the foregoing information
has been delivered to the Asset Manager in accordance with the Asset Management
Agreement, the Company’s obligations to deliver financial or other information
under this Section 8.08(a) shall be deemed satisfied.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any
otherwise permitted action which may, or is required to, be taken, by the
Company, any Acquisition Vehicle or a Member under this Agreement would, in the
commercially reasonable judgment of SHR, jeopardize Strategic REIT’s status as a
real estate investment trust under the Code (a “Prohibited Result”), SHR may
cause the Company or the affected Members to restructure or modify such action
to the extent reasonably necessary to prevent the Prohibited Result, provided
such modification or restructuring (i) does not affect the economic interests
and other rights of the Members under this Agreement, (ii) does not result in
Walton Street no longer satisfying the “fractions rule” set forth in Treasury
Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(b)(1)(i) and (iii) does not affect, impede or
otherwise limit any Member’s right to cause a Sale of Company Property as
provided in Section 9.05.

ARTICLE IX

TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

9.01 No Transfer.

Except as expressly permitted in Section 9.02, no Member may sell, assign, give,
hypothecate, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer (“Transfer”) all or any
portion of its Interest, whether directly or indirectly, without the written
consent of the other Members. Any Transfer in contravention of this Article IX
shall be null and void. No Member, without the prior written consent of the
other Members, shall resign from the Company except as a result of such Member’s
involuntary dissolution or final adjudication as a bankrupt or in connection
with a Transfer permitted by this Article IX. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Article IX
shall apply with respect to, or be deemed to restrict, limit or encumber, any
Corporate Transaction Transfer.

9.02 Permitted Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any
Member may from time to time and in its sole discretion without the consent of
any other Member, Transfer (directly or indirectly) all or any portion of its
direct or indirect interest in the Company to its Affiliate; provided, however,
that (i) in connection with any such Transfer, the transferring Member must also
transfer, or cause its Affiliate to transfer, to the entity receiving such
transferring Member’s Interest or its Affiliate, an equivalent interest in
Walton/SHR FPH Holdings, LLC, and (ii) a Transfer (in whole or in part) by
Walton Street to another fund Controlled by Persons that Control Walton Street
shall not be deemed to be a Transfer permitted under this Section 9.02(a) unless
the all of the cash or other consideration paid by such fund is

 

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

invested into the Company as Additional Capital Contributions by Walton Street,
such fund or both, as the case may be.

(b) Any permitted Transfer under Section 9.02(a) of a direct interest in the
Company shall not relieve the transferor of any of its obligations prior to such
Transfer. The parties hereto agree to amend the transfer provisions of
Article IX if any Member reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary
for the Company to be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes.
Nothing contained in this Article IX shall prohibit a Transfer indirectly of any
interest in the Company if a direct Transfer would otherwise be permitted under
this Section 9.02. Subject to Section 9.03, any transferee pursuant to this
Section 9.02 shall become a Member of the Company. The provisions of this
Section 9.02 will not apply to or be deemed to authorize or permit any
collateral transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, a Member’s interest
in the Company, or in Company Property (which transfer or grant shall be subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement). In connection with any permitted
Transfer under Section 9.02(a), each Member agrees, upon the reasonable request
of the transferring Member, to provide the transferring Member (and its
permitted transferee) reasonable access to the Company’s books and records and
such additional information concerning the Company, FSP Operating Lessee, the
Acquisition Vehicles and the Hotel as reasonably requested from time to time.

9.03 Transferees.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no
transferee of all or any portion of any Interest shall be admitted as a Member
unless (a) such Interest is transferred in compliance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement, (b) such transferee shall have furnished evidence
of satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9.02 reasonably satisfactory to
the remaining Members, and (c) such transferee shall have executed and delivered
to the Company such instruments as the remaining Members reasonably deem
necessary or desirable to effectuate the admission of such transferee as a
Member and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all of the
terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Interest. At the
request of the remaining Members, each such transferee shall also cause to be
delivered to the Company, at the transferee’s sole cost and expense, a favorable
opinion of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect
that (i) such transferee has the legal right, power and capacity to own the
Interest proposed to be transferred, (ii) if applicable, such Transfer does not
violate any provision of any loan commitment or any mortgage, deed of trust or
other security instrument encumbering all or any portion of the Company
Property, (iii) such Transfer will not cause an increase in the amount of UBTI
allocated to any direct or indirect partner or member in or other beneficial
owner of Walton Street, and (iv) such Transfer does not violate any federal or
state securities laws and will not cause the Company to become subject to the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As promptly as practicable after the
admission of any Person as a Member, the books and records of the Company shall
be changed to reflect such admission. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred
by the Company in connection with any Transfer of any Interest and, if
applicable, the admission of any transferee as a Member shall be paid by such
transferee.

9.04 Section 754 Election.

 

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the event of a Transfer of all or part of the Interest of a Member, at the
request of the transferee or if in the best interests of the Company (as
determined by the Members as a Major Decision), the Company shall elect pursuant
to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of Company Property as provided
by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code, and any cost of such election or cost of
administering or accounting for such election shall be at the sole cost and
expense of the requesting transferee.

9.05 Right of Sale.

(a) At any time after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, each Member
shall have the right to cause a Sale of Company Property without the consent or
approval of any other Member, subject to the right of first offer procedure
contemplated in this Section 9.05. If a Member desires to exercise such right,
such Member (the “Selling Member”), shall provide the other Member (the
“Non-Selling Member”) written notice (a “Proposed Sale Notice”) which shall set
forth the gross anticipated sale price, the allocation of closing costs,
including any projected broker fees and transfer taxes (which shall be deemed to
be in accordance with local custom for sales of similar properties in the city
of Scottsdale, Arizona if not specified) and any other material economic terms
of a hypothetical Sale of Company Property (the foregoing terms, the “Property
Sale Terms”), and shall include any term sheets, indications of interest,
valuations, appraisals, investment banking studies, opinions, broker analysis
and the like (if any) received by the Selling Member with respect to such
proposed Sale of Company Property or in connection with any marketing process
initiated by such Selling Member. At any time within the thirty (30) day period
immediately following the date the Non-Selling Member receives the Proposed Sale
Notice, the Non-Selling Member shall have the right (the “Non-Selling Member
Option”), exercisable in its sole discretion by delivery of written notice (the
“Sale Election Notice”) to the Selling Member, to:

(i) approve the sale as set forth in the Proposed Sale Notice and authorize the
Selling Member to proceed with the Sale of Company Property to any Person,
subject to the requirements of Section 9.05(c), it being understood that both
Members shall reasonably cooperate with any such sale process and shall take all
reasonable and lawful actions that are necessary or appropriate to consummate
the Sale of Company Property in accordance with customary institutional sales
practices;

(ii) elect to purchase the Company Property for the purchase price (the “Company
Property Purchase Price”) and on such other terms set forth in the Property Sale
Notice; or

(iii) elect to purchase the Selling Member’s Interest for a purchase price (the
“Selling Member Interest Price”) equal to the amount which the Selling Member
would have received under this Agreement if the Company Property were sold
pursuant to the Property Sale Terms and the Company had been dissolved and wound
up following such sale and the net proceeds of such sale and other assets of the
Company had been distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement applicable to liquidation and dissolution.

 

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) If the Non-Selling Member does not deliver the Sale Election Notice to the
Selling Member within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 9.05(a),
or the Non-Selling Member affirmatively waives the Non-Selling Member Option,
then in either such event, the Non-Selling Member Option shall be deemed waived
by the Non-Selling Member and the Selling Member may proceed to complete the
Sale of Company Property to any Person; provided, however, that if (i) the
actual purchase price and other terms of such sale are not as favorable, in all
material respects, to the transferor as the terms contained in the Property Sale
Terms, or (ii) a closing of such sale does not occur within one (1) year after
the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set
forth in Section 9.05(a), and (B) the delivery by the Non-Selling Member of an
affirmative waiver of the Non-Selling Member Option, then the Selling Member may
not thereafter consummate the Sale of Company Property without again complying
with the applicable procedures set forth in this Section 9.05. For the purposes
of the foregoing, such Sale of Company Property shall be deemed “not as
favorable, in all material respects” if the gross purchase price shall be less
than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price set forth in the Proposed
Sale Notice or if the other material economic terms of such Sale of Company
Property, when taken in the aggregate, are less favorable to the Company than
those set forth in the Property Sale Terms.

(c) If the Non-Selling Member timely elects to purchase the Company Property or
the Selling Member’s Interest pursuant to Section 9.05(a), then in order for
such Sale Election Notice to be effective, the Non-Selling Member shall,
contemporaneously with the delivery of such Sale Election Notice, deposit with a
reputable title insurance company or escrow agent selected by the Non-Selling
Member a deposit (the “Sale Deposit”) equal to five percent (5%) of the Selling
Member Interest Price. To the extent the Non-Selling Member delivers the Sale
Election Notice and pays the Sale Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof,
then (i) if the closing of the purchase of the Company Property or the Selling
Member’s Interest, as applicable, pursuant thereto fails to occur due to any
default, breach or failure on the part of the Non-Selling Member, then the
Selling Member may retain the Sale Deposit as liquidated damages with respect
thereto, it being agreed that in such instance the actual damages would be
difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and shall have all rights and
remedies at law or in equity including (without limitation) the right to
specific performance, and (ii) if the closing of the purchase of the Company
Property or the Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable, pursuant thereto fails
to occur due to any default, breach or failure on the part of Selling Member,
then the Non-Selling Member shall receive a refund of the Sale Deposit and shall
have all rights and remedies at law or in equity including (without limitation)
the right to specific performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, a default by the Non-Selling Member in closing a transaction
pursuant to a Sale Election Notice (absent any default by the Selling Member
with respect thereto) shall be deemed a waiver by the Non-Selling Member of the
Non-Selling Member Option as to any and all subsequent transactions pursuant to
Section 9.05(a) by the Selling Member thereafter and Section 9.05(b) shall be
deemed null and void and of no further force and effect with respect thereto.

(d) If the Non-Selling Member delivers a Sale Election Notice and pays the Sale
Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company, the Selling Member and
the Non-Selling Member shall close the purchase of the Company Property or the
Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable, on the terms set forth in this
Section 9.05(d). The closing of any purchase

 

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

10.01 Exculpation.

No Member, general or limited partner of any Member, shareholder or member or
other holder of an equity interest of any Member or manager, officer or director
of any of the foregoing, shall be liable to the Company or to any other Member
for monetary damages for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from
any act or omission performed or omitted by it and arising out

 

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of or in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs;
provided, however, in the case of a Member or related Person, such act or
omission was not attributable to such Member’s or Person’s fraud, bad faith,
willful misconduct or gross negligence. No general or limited partner of any
Member, shareholder, member or other holder of an equity interest in such Member
or manager, officer of director of any of the foregoing shall be personally
liable for the performance of any such Member’s obligations of this Agreement,
but the foregoing shall not relieve any partner or member of any Member from its
obligations to such Member.

10.02 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Member and each general or limited
partner of any Member or such Member’s Affiliate, shareholder, member or other
holder of any equity interest in such Member or its Affiliate, or any manager,
officer or director of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”),
from and against any losses, claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages,
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside
counsel) and causes of action imposed on, incurred by, asserted against or to
which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject by reason of or in connection
with any matter arising out of or incidental to any act performed or omitted to
be performed by any such Indemnitee in connection with this Agreement or the
Company’s business or affairs; provided, however, in the case of a Member or
related Indemnitee, such act or omission was not attributable to such
Indemnitee’s fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Any
indemnity under this Section 10.02 shall be paid solely out of and to the extent
of Company assets and shall not be a personal obligation of any Member and in no
event will any Member be required, or permitted without the consent of all of
the Members, to contribute additional capital under Section 4.02 to enable the
Company to satisfy any obligation under this Section 10.02. All judgments
against the Company and the Members, or any one or more thereof, wherein such
Member (or Members) is entitled to indemnification, must first be satisfied from
Company assets before the Members shall be responsible therefor.

(b) The Company and the other Members shall be indemnified and held harmless by
each Member from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs,
damages, expenses and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of
or attributable to (i) the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Member, (ii) the breach by the Company of any of its
representations and warranties made under any purchase, loan or other agreement
entered into in connection with the acquisition of Company Property, which
breach was the result of information or matters relating to such Member,
(iii) the breach by such Member of any of the Transaction Documents, or (iv) any
denial of an insurance claim by the Company based on an intentional misstatement
or intentional withholding of information by any Member.

(c) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee entitled to indemnification pursuant to
this Section 10.02 may be paid by the Company in advance of a final disposition
to the extent that such advance payment is authorized by the Members as a Major
Decision. Receipt by the Managing Member of an undertaking by such Indemnitee,
in form and substance acceptable to

 

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion, to repay such advance payment
if such Indemnitee ultimately is not entitled to indemnification under this
Section 10.02 is a condition precedent to the Members’ approval of any advance
payment under this Section 10.02(c).

(d) The Company (as directed by the Managing Member) may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any Indemnitee against any claim asserted against such
Indemnitee, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such
Indemnitee against liability pursuant to this Section 10.02.

(e) The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive for a period of four
years from the date of dissolution of the Company, provided that, if at the end
of such period there are any actions, proceedings or investigations then
pending, any Indemnitee may so notify the Company and the other Members at such
time (which notice shall include a brief description of each such action,
proceeding or investigation and the liabilities asserted therein) and the
provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive with respect to each such action,
proceeding or investigation set forth in such notice (or any related action,
proceeding or investigation based upon the same or similar claim) until such
date that such action, proceeding or investigation is finally resolved.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the
obligations of the Company or any Member under this Section 10.02 shall (i) be
in addition to any liability which the Company or such Member may otherwise have
and (ii) inure to the benefit of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates and their
respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and
Affiliates and any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of
such Persons.

ARTICLE XI

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

11.01 Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall be dissolved and its business wound up upon the earliest
to occur of any of the following events (unless the majority in interest of the
remaining Members vote to continue the life of the Company upon the occurrence
of such an event):

(i) the sale, condemnation or other disposition of all Company Property and the
receipt of all consideration therefor; or

(ii) the written determination of the Members to terminate the Company.

(b) Without limitation on, but subject to, the other provisions hereof, the
assignment of all or any part of a Member’s Interest permitted hereunder will
not result in the dissolution of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Agreement, each Member agrees that, without the consent of the
other Members, any Member may not withdraw from or cause a voluntary dissolution
of the Company. In the event any Member withdraws

 

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from or causes a voluntary dissolution of the Company in contravention of this
Agreement, such withdrawal or the causing of a voluntary dissolution shall not
affect such Member’s liability for obligations of the Company.

11.02 Termination.

In all cases of dissolution of the Company, the business of the Company shall be
wound up and the Company terminated as promptly as practicable thereafter, and
each of the following shall be accomplished:

(a) The Liquidating Member shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth
the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of dissolution, a copy
of which statement shall be furnished to all of the Members.

(b) The Company Property shall be liquidated by the Liquidating Member as
promptly as possible, but in an orderly and businesslike and commercially
reasonable manner and subject to the provisions of the Operating Plan then in
effect or a liquidating plan approved by the Members. The Liquidating Member may
distribute Company Property in kind only with the consent of all of the Members.

(c) The proceeds of sale and all other assets of the Company shall be applied
and distributed as follows and in the following order of priority:

(i) First to the payment of (A) the debts and liabilities of the Company
(including payment of all outstanding Deficiency Loans and any outstanding
amounts due on any indebtedness encumbering the Company Property, or any part
thereof) and (B) the expenses of liquidation.

(ii) Second, to the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Member and
the Members (as a Major Decision) shall determine to be reasonably necessary for
contingent, unliquidated or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company
or any Member arising out of or in connection with the Company. Such reserves
may, in the discretion of the Liquidating Member, be paid over to a national
bank or national title company selected by it and authorized to conduct business
as an escrow agent to be held by such bank or title company as escrow agent for
the purposes of disbursing such reserves to satisfy the liabilities and
obligations described above, and at the expiration of such period as the
Liquidating Member may reasonably deem advisable, distributing any remaining
balance as provided in Section 11.02(c)(iii); provided, however, that, to the
extent that it shall have been necessary, by reason of applicable law or
regulation, to create any reserves prior to any and all distributions which
would otherwise have been made under Section 11.02(c)(i) and, by reason thereof,
a distribution under Section 11.02(c)(i) has not been made, then any balance
remaining shall first be distributed pursuant to Section 11.02(c)(i).

(iii) Thereafter, the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with
Section 6.04.

11.03 Liquidating Member.

 

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Liquidating Member is hereby irrevocably appointed as the true and lawful
attorney in the name, place and stead of each of the Members, such appointment
being coupled with an interest, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge and file
with respect to the Company all papers which shall be necessary or desirable to
effect the dissolution and termination of the company in accordance with the
provisions of this Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member, upon
the request of the Liquidating Member or the Managing Member, shall promptly
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents, certificates and other
instruments as the Liquidating Member or the Managing Member shall reasonably
request to effectuate the proper dissolution and termination of the Company,
including the winding up of the business of the Company.

11.04 Claims of the Members.

Members and former Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the
return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company
remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and
obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital
Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against the
Company or any other Member.

ARTICLE XII

DEFAULT BY MEMBER

12.01 Events of Default.

For the purposes of this Agreement, subject to the last sentence of this
Section 12.01, an “Event of Default” shall exist with respect to a Member (such
Member, a “Breaching Member”) if and so long as either:

(a) such Member or its Affiliates shall violate any term, breach any provision
or default in the performance of any covenant applicable to such Member as set
forth in this Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement, and (i) such violation,
breach or default causes material damage or loss to the Company, any of its
Members or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) such violation, breach
or default is not cured (including without limitation, by the Breaching Member
reimbursing the Company for the resulting material damage or loss) within a
Reasonable Period; or

(b) such Member or its Affiliates shall fail to pay, as and when due and payable
hereunder, all or any portion of any material amount (other than a Capital
Contribution) that it is obligated to pay either to the Company or to any other
Member, by way of reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise, pursuant to this
Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement, and such failure continues for ten
(10) Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the
Breaching Member by the Company or by any non-Breaching Member (any such failure
being referred to herein as a “Monetary Default”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01 or any other
provision herein, a failure by any Member to make any Additional Capital
Contribution to the extent required or

 

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

requested hereunder shall not constitute an Event of Default by such Member and
the sole consequences of such failure shall be as set forth in Section 4.02 or
Section 4.03, as applicable.

12.02 Effect of Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any
Event of Default by a Breaching Member, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Company and/or any Member that is not
a Breaching Member shall have the right, upon giving the Breaching Member at
least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such election, to pursue
any right or remedy available to it at law or in equity.

(b) With respect to any Monetary Default, the Company and/or any non-Breaching
Member shall have the right to (i) require that the outstanding amount be
withheld from and reduce all distributions or other amounts payable to such
Breaching Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Reimbursement
Agreement and be paid directly by the Company on behalf of the Breaching Member
from any and all distributions of Net Cash Flow, proceeds of liquidation or any
other amounts that would otherwise be distributable or payable to such Breaching
Member (or its Affiliates) with respect to its Interest, prior to any
distribution or payment thereof pursuant to this Agreement or the Reimbursement
Agreement, and/or (ii) seek from the Breaching Member payment of the outstanding
amount by all appropriate judicial and/or non judicial proceedings, in each case
until such time as the Monetary Default has been cured. Any amounts so withheld
and applied to cure a Monetary Default pursuant to this Section 12.02 shall be
treated as amounts distributed or paid to the Breaching Member pursuant to
Sections 6.03 or other applicable provision hereof for all purposes under this
Agreement.

(c) Failure by the Company or any non-Breaching Member to give any notice of an
Event of Default as specified under this Agreement, or any failure to insist
upon strict performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, shall not
constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or of any of the terms of this
Agreement. No Event of Default shall be waived, nor shall any duty to be
performed, be altered or modified, except by written instrument. One or more
waivers or failure to give notice of an Event of Default shall not be considered
as a waiver of a subsequent or continuing Event of Default of the same covenant
or obligation.

(d) The rights granted in this Section 12.02 shall not be deemed to be an
exclusive remedy of the Company and any non-Breaching Member, but all other
rights and remedies, legal and equitable, shall be available to it, with the
exception of any action which has the effect of terminating this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

13.10 Recalculation of Interest.

If any applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to deem any
distribution, contribution, payment or other amount received by any Member or
the Company under this Agreement as interest and so as to render any such amount
in excess of the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted by applicable law,
then it is the express intent of the Members and the Company that all amounts in
excess of the highest lawful rate or amount theretofore collected be credited
against any other distributions, contributions, payments or other amounts to be
paid by the recipient of the excess amount or refunded to the appropriate
Person, and the provisions of this Agreement immediately be deemed reformed,
without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with
the applicable law, but so as to permit the payment of the fullest amount
otherwise required hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid that are
judicially determined to be interest shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the term
of such obligation so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such
obligation does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted
under applicable law.

13.11 Severability.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any
application thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained

impaired thereby.

13.12 Entire Agreement.

 

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and all prior agreements relative hereto which are not

any alleged amendment, variation, modification or change herein which is not so

13.13 Publicity.

The parties agree that no Member shall issue any press release or otherwise
publicize or disclose the terms of this Agreement or the proposed terms of any
acquisition of the Initial Company Property, without the consent of each of the
other Members, except as such disclosure may be made in the course of normal
reporting practices by any Member to its members, shareholders or partners or as
otherwise required by law.

13.14 Confidentiality.

(a) The terms of this Agreement, the identity of any person with whom the
Company may be holding discussions with respect to any investment, acquisition,
disposition or other transaction, and all other business, financial or other
information relating directly to the conduct of the business and affairs of the
Company or the relative or absolute rights or interests of any of the Members
(collectively, the “Confidential Information”) that is not already publicly
available or that has not been publicly disclosed pursuant to authorization by
all of the Members is confidential and proprietary information of the Company,
the disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm to the Company and the
Members. Accordingly, each Member represents that it has not and agrees that it
will not and will direct its shareholders, partners, directors, officers,
agents, advisors and Affiliates not to, disclose to any Person any Confidential
Information or confirm any statement made by third Persons regarding
Confidential Information until the Company has publicly disclosed the
Confidential Information pursuant to authorization by the Managing Member and
has notified each Member that it has done so; provided, however, that any Member
(or its Affiliates) may disclose such Confidential Information if required by
law (it being specifically understood and agreed that anything set forth in a
registration statement or any other document filed pursuant to law will be
deemed required by law), if necessary for it to perform any of its duties or
obligations hereunder or in any property management agreement to which it is a
party covering any Company Property, or to market the Company Property or any
Interests as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and to its attorneys and
advisors and prospective investors and lenders who agree to maintain a similar
confidence.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 13.14(a), each Member agrees not to
disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than a Person
(including without limitation an attorney or advisor or a prospective investor
or lender) agreeing to maintain all Confidential Information in strict
confidence or a judge, magistrate or referee in any action, suit or proceeding
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise), and to keep
confidential all documents (including without limitation, responses to discovery
requests) containing any Confidential Information. Each Member hereby consents
in advance to any motion for any

 

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

protective order brought by any other Member represented as being intended by
the movant to implement the purposes of this Section 13.14, provided that, if a
Member receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under the
terms of a valid and effective order issued by a court or governmental agency
and the order was not sought by or on behalf of or consented to by such Member,
then such Member may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent
required if the Member as promptly as practicable (i) notifies each of the other
Members of the existence, terms and circumstances of the order, (ii) consults in
good faith with each of the other Members on the advisability of taking legally
available steps to resist or to narrow the order, and (iii) if disclosure of the
Confidential Information is required, exercises its commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that
confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the disclosed
Confidential Information that any other Member designates. The cost (including
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of obtaining a
protective order covering Confidential Information designated by such other
Member will be borne by the Company.

(c) The covenants contained in this Section 13.14 will survive the Transfer of
the Interest of any Member and the termination of the Company.
