the Company (and the remaining 1% of the purchase price of the Property).

 

4.2           Intentionally Omitted.

 

4.3           Additional Capital Contributions.

 

4.3.1 Requests for Additional Capital Contributions. If, at any time, the
Manager determines in good faith that the anticipated revenues of the Company
and the available funds of the Company at such time (including any Reserves, but
only for the purpose for which the applicable Reserve is maintained) are not
sufficient to pay all expenditures of the Company and the Property Entity that
are authorized under this Agreement and anticipated during the next following
180 days (including amounts required to maintain Reserves), the Manager shall
have the right to deliver to each Member written notice stating the aggregate
amount of funds then required by the Company, each Member's Percentage Interest
of such amount and the anticipated uses of such funds. Each Member shall
contribute to the capital of the Company immediately available funds in the
amount of such Member's Percentage Interest of the aggregate amount of funds
then required by the Company as set forth in such notice (such Member's
"Additional Contribution Amount"). Each Member shall furnish its Additional
Contribution Amount to the Company within 7 days following the date of delivery
of the notice requesting such funds.

 

9

 

 

4.4           Failure to Fund Capital Contributions. If a Member fails to
contribute an amount equal to the entire Additional Contribution Amount required
to be contributed by it within the applicable period specified in Section 4.3
(the "Failing Member"), and if the other Member (the "Non-Failing Member")
contributes its entire Additional Contribution Amount within the applicable
period and so notifies the Failing Member, and the Failing Member fails fully to
remedy its failure to contribute within five days after the delivery of notice
by the Non-Failing Member with respect to a failure under this Section 4.4 (the
"Notice of Intention"), then the Non-Failing member, in its sole discretion, may
elect any one of the following, which election shall be specified in the Notice
of Intention:

 

(a)          The Non-Failing Member may require the Company to repay immediately
to the Non-Failing Member the contribution it made pursuant to the applicable
request for additional capital contributions, together with any interest
actually earned thereon by the Company until repayment;

 

(b)          The Non-Failing Member may make an additional contribution to the
capital of the Company of up to the amount the Failing Member failed to
contribute under Section 4.3, in which case the Percentage Interests of the
Members shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4.4.1 (the "Contribution
Option"); or

 

(c)          The Non-Failing Member may elect to advance to the Company, as a
loan to the Failing Member, an amount equal to the amount the Failing Member
failed to contribute under Section 4.3 on the terms in Section 4.4.2 (a "Member
Loan").

 

4.4.1 Contribution Option. If a Non-Failing Member elects the Contribution
Option, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be adjusted as follows:

 

(a)          The Percentage Interest of the Failing Member shall be reduced by
an amount equal to the product of (i) the Dilution Factor (as defined below)
multiplied by (ii) the ratio of (x) the Additional Contribution Amount required
of the Failing Member and contributed by the Non-Failing Member, to (y) the sum
of all Capital Contributions previously made to the Company by all Members,
including Additional Contribution Amounts advanced by the Non-Failing Member on
its own behalf and on behalf of the Failing Member; and

 

(b)          The Percentage Interest of the Non-Failing Member shall be
increased by the decrease in a Failing Member's Percentage Interest.

 

The "Dilution Factor" shall mean 100% if the failure to contribute capital arose
from a request under Section 4.3.

 

4.4.2 Member Loan. Each Member Loan shall bear interest at an annual rate
(compounded monthly) equal to the greater of 18% or 500 basis points over the
Prime Rate, adjusting when and as the Prime Rate adjusts. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Member Loan shall be repaid by the
Company paying amounts otherwise distributable by the Company to the Failing
Member directly to the Non-Failing Member until the Member Loan and all interest
thereon is repaid (which payments will be applied first to accrued interest on
the outstanding principal balance of such loan and then outstanding principal
balance of such loan). Any amounts so applied shall be treated under this
Agreement as having been distributed to the Failing Member. A Member Loan shall
be recourse to the Failing Member and any outstanding balance following
dissolution of the Company shall be immediately due and payable by the Failing
Member. A Member Loan may be prepaid at any time or from time to time by a
Failing Member.

 

10

 

 

4.4.3 Intentionally Omitted.

 

4.4.4 Exclusivity of Remedies. The rights and remedies of the Non-Failing Member
and the Company set forth in this Section 4.4 with respect to a failure by a
Member to contribute its Additional Contribution Amount pursuant to a request
for additional capital contributions under Section 4.3 shall be the exclusive
remedies available to the Company and the Non-Failing Member against the Failing
Member with respect to such failure.

 

4.5           No Other Capital Contributions. Except as provided in Sections
4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4, no Member shall be obligated to make any Capital
Contributions, and no Member shall have the right to make any additional Capital
Contributions to the Company. If a Member makes any voluntary advance of cash or
property to the Company other than pursuant to Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, or 4.4,
such cash or property shall not constitute a Capital Contribution to the Company
and shall not be credited to such Member's Capital Account; the other Member
shall not be obligated to make a proportionate, or any, contribution; and no
Member's Percentage Interest shall be adjusted by reason of any such voluntary
contribution.

 

4.6           No Third Party Rights. This Article 4 shall not be construed as
conferring any rights or benefits to or upon any Person not a party to this
Agreement.

 

4.7           Withdrawal of Capital; Interest on Capital. No Member shall be
entitled to withdraw capital from the Company, or to receive any Distributions
or allocations of Profit or Loss from the Company, except as a Distribution or
allocation made under Article 5, Article 6 or Article 11, as may apply. Interest
earned on Company funds shall inure solely to the benefit of the Company and,
except as specifically provided herein, no interest shall be paid upon any
Capital Contributions, or advances to the capital of the Company, or upon any
undistributed or reinvested income or profits of the Company. No Member shall be
personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions made by the other
Member.

 

4.8           Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account shall be established
and maintained for each Member in accordance with the Code and the Regulations,
including the rules regarding the maintenance of partners' capital accounts set
forth in Regulation Section 1.704-1. Subject to the immediately preceding
sentence, (i) each Member's Capital Account will be credited with (A) the amount
of cash and the Gross Asset Value of any property contributed by the Member to
the Company, (B) the Member's distributive share of Profits, (C) any items in
the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated to the Member under
Section 7.3, and (D) the amount of any Company liabilities that are assumed by
the Member or secured by any Company property distributed to the Member; and
(ii) each Member's Capital Account will be debited with (A) the amount of cash
and the Gross Asset Value of any Company property distributed to the Member
under any provision of this Agreement, (B) the Member's distributive share of
Losses, (C) any items in the nature of deduction or loss that are specially
allocated to the Member under Section 7.3, and (D) the amount of any liabilities
of the Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property
contributed by the Member to the Company. If property is contributed to the
capital of the Company or if there is a revaluation of any Company property such
that the Gross Asset Value of such property differs from its adjusted tax basis,
the Members' Capital Accounts shall be appropriately adjusted for income, gain,
loss and deduction as required by Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g).

ARTICLE 5

 

DISTRIBUTIONS

 

5.1           Distributions of Net Cash Flow. Net Cash Flow, if any, shall be
distributed to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests
(subject to Section 4.4.2 and Section 5.3). Net Cash Flow shall be distributed
at such times as the Manager may determine but no less frequently than annually,
unless the Members approve otherwise.

 

5.2           REIT Compliance. Unless this provision is waived by ARC, to the
fullest extent possible consistent with the distribution provisions of this
Article 5, the Manager shall cause the Company to distribute to ARC REIT by the
end of the each Fiscal Year no less than 100% of the taxable income (including
any net capital gain) allocated, directly or indirectly, to ARC REIT for federal
income tax purposes for such fiscal year so that ARC REIT may satisfy the
requirements of Section 857(a)(1) of the Code for its taxable year, and
otherwise distribute 100% of its taxable income and net capital gain.

 

5.3           Withholding.

 

(a)          Each Member hereby authorizes the Manager to cause the Company to
withhold from, or pay on behalf of or with respect to, the Member any amount of
federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Company is required to withhold
or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to the Member under
this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the
Company under Section 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code.

 

(b)          Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Member under
Section 5.3(a) shall constitute a loan by the Company to the Member, which loan
shall be repaid by the Member within 15 calendar days after notice from the
Manager that such payment must be made unless the Manager determines, in its
sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the
available funds of the Company which would, but for such payment, be distributed
to the Member. Any amount withheld pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence shall be treated as having been distributed to such Member.

 

12

 

 

(c)          Any amount payable by a Member to the Company under this Section
5.3 shall bear interest at the Prime Rate plus 500 basis points, but in no event
higher than the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation, such
interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e., 15 calendar days
after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Member hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Company a security interest in the
Member's Interest to secure the Member's obligation to pay to the Company any
amounts required to be paid under this Section 5.3. Each Member shall take such
actions as the Company shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security
interest created hereunder.

 

5.4           No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The foregoing priorities of
application and distribution of Net Cash Flow are for the benefit of the Members
only and not for the benefit of any third party or creditor of the Company or of
any Member, and neither the Company, the Manager nor any Member shall be liable
or responsible to any third party or creditor of the Company or of any Member
for any deviation from such priorities.

 

ARTICLE 6

 

ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS

 

6.1           Allocation of Profits and Losses. After giving effect to the
allocations set forth in Section 6.3, all Profits and Losses (including all
items of income and expense entering into the determination of Profits and
Losses), as finally determined for each Fiscal Year, shall be allocated among
the Members so as to cause each Member's Adjusted Balance as of the end of the
Fiscal Year to equal the amount of cash that would be distributed to the Member
under Section 5.1 if, as of the end of the Fiscal Year, cash in the amount of
the sum of the Members' Adjusted Balances were distributed to the Members under
Section 5.1.

 

6.2           Varying Interests. If a Member has Transferred all or part of its
Interest, all items of Profit or Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be apportioned
between the transferor and its transferee on the basis of the number of days in
the Fiscal Year that each was the holder of the Interest (making any adjustments
necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 706(d)(2) of the Code),
without regard to the results of the Company's operations during the period
before and after the date of the Transfer; provided that if both the transferor
and transferee consent, to the extent permitted by the Code and Regulations, a
special closing of the books shall be had as of the effective date of the
Transfer and the apportionment of items of Profit and Loss shall be made on the
basis of actual operating results. In the case of an adjustment to the
Percentage Interests, to the extent permitted by the Code and Regulations, a
special closing of the books shall be had as of the effective date of such
adjustment, and the apportionment of items of Profit and Loss shall be made on
the basis of actual operating results.

 

6.3           Regulatory Allocations.

 

6.3.1 Minimum Gain Chargeback. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain for a Company taxable
year, each Member shall be allocated, before any other allocation of Company
items for the taxable year, items of gross income and gain for the year (and, if
necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, the
amount of the Member's share of the net decrease in Minimum Gain during the
year. The income allocated under this Section 6.3.1 in any taxable year shall
consist first of gains recognized from the disposition of property subject to
one or more nonrecourse liabilities of the Company, and any remainder shall
consist of a pro rata portion of other items of income or gain of the Company.
The allocation otherwise required by this Section 6.3.1 shall not apply to a
Member to the extent provided in Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2) through (5).

 

13

 

 

6.3.2 Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, if a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or
distribution described in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6)
that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to the
Member, items of Company gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to
the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

 

6.3.3 Gross Income Allocation. If at the end of any Company taxable year, a
Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, the Member shall be specially
allocated items of Company income or gain in an amount and manner sufficient to
eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

 

6.3.4 Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated
among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.

 

6.3.5 Member Nonrecourse Debt. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to those Members
that bear the economic risk of loss for the applicable Member Nonrecourse Debt,
and among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such
economic risk, determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If
there is a net decrease for a Company taxable year in any Member Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain, each Member with a share of such Member Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain as of the beginning of such year shall be allocated items of gross
income and gain in the manner and to the extent provided in Regulation Section
1.704-2(i)(4).

 

6.3.6 Interpretation. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3 are intended
to comply with Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 and shall be
interpreted consistently with this intention. Any terms used in such provisions
that are not specifically defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning, if
any, given such terms in the Regulations cited above.

 

6.4           Tax Allocations.

 

6.4.1 General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, items of
income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company to be allocated for income tax
purposes shall be allocated among the Members on the same basis as the
corresponding book items are allocated under Sections 6.1 through 6.3.

 

6.4.2 Depreciation Recapture. Subject to Section 6.4.3, if any portion of
taxable gain recognized from the disposition of property by the Company
represents the "recapture" of previously allocated deductions by virtue of the
application of Code Section 1(h)(1)(D), 1245 or 1250 ("Recapture Gain"), such
Recapture Gain shall be allocated as follows:

 

14

 

 

(a)          First, to the Members in proportion to the lesser of each Member's
(i) allocable share of the total taxable gain recognized from the disposition of
such property and (ii) share of depreciation or amortization with respect to
such property (as determined in the manner provided under Regulations Sections
1.1245-1(e)(2) and (3)), until each such Member has been allocated Recapture
Gain equal to such lesser amount.

 

(b)          Second, the balance of Recapture Gain shall be allocated among the
Members whose allocable shares of total taxable gain from the disposition of
such property exceed their shares of depreciation or amortization with respect
to such property (as determined in the manner provided under Regulations
Sections 1.1245-1(e)(2) and (3)), in proportion to their shares of total taxable
gain (including Recapture Gain) from the disposition of such property; provided,
however, that no Member shall be allocated Recapture Gain under this Section
6.4.2 in excess of the total taxable gain otherwise allocated to such Member
from such disposition.

 

6.4.3 Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the
related Regulations, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any
property contributed to the capital of the Company, solely for income tax
purposes, shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any
variation between the adjusted basis to the Company of the property for federal
income tax purposes and the initial Gross Asset Value of the property. If the
Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted under paragraph (b) or (d) of
the definition thereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction with respect to that asset will take account of any variation between
the adjusted basis of the asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross
Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the related
Regulations Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this
Section 6.4.3 (including selection of the method for making such allocations)
will be made by the Manager in its sole discretion.

 

6.4.4 Tax Credits. Unless otherwise required by the Code, any tax credits of the
Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage
Interests. Any recapture of tax credits shall be allocated among the Members in
the same ratio as the applicable tax credits were allocated to the Members.

 

6.4.5 Tax Purposes. Allocations under this Section 6.4 are solely for purposes
of federal, state and local income taxes and will not affect, or in any way be
taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of
Profits, Losses or other items or distributions under any provision of this
Agreement.

 

6.5          Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. Solely for the
purpose of allocating excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company among the
Members in connection with the determination of the Members' adjusted tax bases
for their interests in the Company, in accordance with Section 752 of the Code
and the Regulations from time to time promulgated thereunder, the Members agree
that each Member's interest in Company profits equals the Member's Percentage
Interest.

ARTICLE 7

 

MANAGEMENT

 

7.1           Management by Manager. Except as otherwise specifically provided
in this Agreement (including Section 7.3), the management of the Company shall
be vested in the Manager. The Members hereby designate ARC as the Manager of the
Company. Except as provided in Section 7.3 or as otherwise specifically provided
in this Agreement, the Manager shall have full, exclusive and complete
discretion in the management and control of the business and affairs of the
Company, and shall make all decisions affecting the Company's business and
affairs, including the delegation of such management and control to third party
service providers. Except as otherwise provided herein, any action taken by the
Manager (in its capacity as such) shall constitute the act of and serve to bind
the Company. All authority of the Manager to act on behalf of the Company shall
include the same authority to act on behalf of each Property Entity either
directly or by causing the Company to act on behalf of each Property Entity. The
Manager shall have the right to cause the Company and each Property Entity to
acquire, finance, refinance, and lease the Property. The Manager shall have the
right to cause the Company and the Property Entity to dispose of any real
property or interests therein in its sole discretion. The Manager shall have the
authority to make all expenditures on behalf of the Company and the Property
Entity to the extent (i) set forth in an Annual Budget, (ii) required by
applicable law, or (iii) required by the Management Agreement or the Advisory
Agreement. The Manager shall have the authority to make other expenditures and
engage in any other acts and transactions on behalf of the Company and the
Property Entity that are not Major Decisions. The Manager shall implement all
Major Decisions approved by the Members pursuant to Section 7.3. In addition,
notwithstanding Section 7.3 and the limitations of the Annual Budgets, the
Manager shall have the authority at any time or from time to time in an
emergency situation to take any action (including make expenditures and incur
obligations) on behalf of the Company and the Property Entity without obtaining
the prior written approval of either Member if such action is, in the Manager's
reasonable judgment, reasonably necessary or advisable to preserve or protect
the assets of the Company and the Property Entity or to prevent injury to any
Person. The Manager shall not employ, or permit any other Person to employ any
funds or assets of the Company in any manner other than for the exclusive
benefit of the Company. The Company shall not pay fees to the Manager as
consideration for the performance of its duties as such; provided, however, the
Company shall reimburse the Manager for all reasonable direct costs and
allocable overhead incurred by the Manager, its Affiliates, employees or agents
on behalf of the Company or otherwise in connection with the performance of its
duties as Manager. The Manager may designate one or more of its Affiliates,
agents or employees to carry out its duties and responsibilities as the Manager.

 

16

 

 

7.2           Annual Budgets. On or before November 1 of each year, the Manager
shall prepare or cause to be prepared a preliminary annual budget for the
Company and for the Property Entity for the next calendar year, which budget
shall be approved or modified in ARC's sole discretion. The Manager will provide
DASCO with a copy of the approved budget on or before December 1 each year.

 

7.3           Major Decisions. Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.1 to the
contrary, the actions or decisions by or on behalf of the Company or any
Property Entity that are designated below as "Major Decisions" shall require the
prior written approval of both Members. For this purpose and for purposes of any
other approvals, consents or elections by each Member under this Agreement, each
Member shall from time to time designate in writing to the other Member two
individuals, each of whom shall be authorized to act on behalf of such Member.
The individuals initially authorized to act on behalf of ARC are Nicholas S.
Schorsch and William M. Kahane. The individual initially authorized to act on
behalf of DASCO is Malcolm Sina. The Members shall meet by teleconference upon
one Business Days' prior written notice to both of the individuals then
authorized to act on behalf of the other Member. An agenda for each meeting
shall be prepared in advance by the Member requesting such meeting and submitted
to the other Member. The "Major Decisions" are as follows:

 

7.3.1 Any amendment to this Agreement. Any Amendment altering the economic
benefits to the Members or removing the Company from ownership of the Property
Entity without an economic sale or transfer occurring shall require unanimous
vote of the Members.

 

7.4           Engagements by the Company. Subject to the applicable Annual
Budget and Section 7.3, the Manager may engage, on behalf and at the expense of
the Company, such Persons as the Manager in its reasonable judgment shall deem
advisable for the conduct and operation of the business of the Company,
including property managers, rental and sales agents and brokers, mortgage
bankers, attorneys, accountants, architects, engineers, consultants, contractors
and purveyors of other services or materials for the Company on such terms and
for such compensation as the Manager, in its reasonable discretion, shall
determine. Subject to the applicable Annual Budget and Section 7.3, the Manager
shall have the right to engage Affiliates of the Manager to provide services or
materials to the Company. The Members hereby approve (i) the Advisory Agreement
under which the Advisor will provide advisory services to the Company in
exchange for fees and expense reimbursements payable by the Company to the
Advisor; and (ii) the Management Agreement under which the Property Manager will
manage the Properties in exchange for and agreed-upon market rate fee payable by
the Company or the Property Entity.

 

7.5           Other Activities Permitted. The Manager, the Members and their
respective Affiliates, and each of them, are now involved in, and shall continue
to have the absolute right to organize and operate, other partnerships (whether
limited or general), corporations, trusts, sole proprietorships, limited
liability companies, or any other form of business entity, venture or
enterprise, to purchase, own, manage and operate, for investment or any other
purposes, other real property or businesses, and may otherwise engage in any
other business venture of any kind, including acquiring, financing, developing,
leasing, managing, operating and selling medical office property or other real
property and improvements thereon, all without participation by the other
Member, or its Affiliates, and without liability to any of them. Neither the
Company, nor any other Member, shall have the right to any income or profit
derived by a Member or its Affiliates from any such enterprise or opportunity.

 

17

 

 

7.6           Devotion of Time. The Manager and each Member shall devote so much
of its business time to the affairs of the Company as may be reasonably
necessary for the proper conduct of the business of the Company, but subject to
this requirement, shall not be required to devote its full business time to the
Company.

 

7.7           Duties. The Manager shall not have a fiduciary duty to the
Company, the Members, their respective Affiliates or constituent Persons in
connection with its role as Manager under this Agreement. No Member shall have a
fiduciary or other duty to the Company, the other Members, the Manager, their
respective Affiliates or constituent Persons pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the elimination of duties on the part of the
Manager and the Members under this Section 7.7 shall not (i) limit or eliminate
liability for any act or omission that constitutes a bad faith violation of the
implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing, or (ii) limit the
liability of the Manager or any Member for fraud, misappropriation of funds or
property, or intentional destruction of the Company's assets.

 

7.8           Liability of Manager; Indemnity.

 

7.8.1 Limitation on Liability of Manager. The Manager and its Affiliates, agents
and employees shall not be liable, responsible or accountable in damages or
otherwise to the Company or any of the Members or their successors or assigns
for any acts performed or omitted within the scope of its authority as Manager,
or otherwise conferred on the Manager and such Affiliates, agents and employees
by this Agreement, provided that the Manager or such Affiliates, agents or
employees shall act in good faith and shall not commit an act or omission of
willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

7.8.2 Indemnification by Company. The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold
the Manager and its Affiliates, employees and agents, or their respective
successors, executors, administrators or personal representatives, harmless from
and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) sustained or incurred as a result of any act or omission
concerning the business or activities of the Company; provided that the Manager
or any Affiliate, employee or agent is not guilty of gross negligence or willful
misconduct and was acting in good faith within what it reasonably believed to be
the scope of its authority for a purpose which it reasonably believed to be not
opposed to the best interests of the Company. The foregoing indemnity shall not
be enforceable against any Member personally.

 

7.9           Deposit of Company Funds. All Company funds shall be deposited in
the Company's name in federally-insured bank accounts or other recognized,
suitable depositories. Withdrawals from Company accounts shall be made on the
signature of a duly authorized agent of the Manager.

 

18

 

 

7.10 REIT Compliance. The Members acknowledge that ARC REIT, a direct owner of
ARC, has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
Accordingly, and as a material inducement to ARC entering into this Agreement,
the Company shall at all times conduct the business of the Company and each
Property Entity such that the nature of the Company property and gross revenues
would permit ARC REIT (i) to avoid realizing any income that is nonqualifying
gross income for purposes of the 95% and 75% gross income tests of Section
856(c)(2) and (c)(3) of the Code, (ii) to avoid owning any assets that would
cause a violation under Section 856(c)(4); (iii) to otherwise maintain its
status as a REIT under the Code and (iv) to avoid incurring any tax under
Section 4981 of the Code, any tax on prohibited transactions under Section
857(b)(6) of the Code and any tax on redetermined rents, redetermined deductions
and excess interest under Section 857(b)(7) of the Code. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Members hereby agree that the Company's future
operations shall be managed and conducted in compliance with the guidelines set
forth on Exhibit B and any other guidelines that may be provided by ARC to the
Company and which in its reasonable judgment are necessary or desirable to
assure compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.10. The
Members shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with respect to (a)
structuring the acquisition of interests in the Property Entity and the
operation of the Company business, (b) amending this Agreement or changing the
structure of the ownership or operation of the Company, the Property Entity, and
their business in a manner that would allow the Company and each Property
Entity, if it made an election under Section 856 of the Code, to qualify as a
REIT and not incur any amount of tax pursuant to Section 857 or 4981 of the
Code, (c) in the discretion of and upon request by ARC, structuring the
acquisition, operation or ownership of the Property or any other Company
property in a manner that would allow ARC REIT to invest in all or a part of the
Property, through one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries (as defined in Section
856(1) of the Code), and (d) solely at the election of ARC, conducting any sale
of the Property as a sale of the Property Entity.

 

7.11 Replacement of Manager. If at any time a Manager shall resign, dissolve or
otherwise terminate its legal existence, such Manager shall immediately
thereupon cease to be a Manager of the Company except in the event of a merger
or reorganization of the Manager, in which case its successor in interest will
become the Manager. A Manager may resign at any time by delivering written
notice thereof to each Member, and any such resignation shall be effective upon
the date of delivery of such notice or such later date as may be specified in
such notice. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, in the
case of a Manager that is also a Member, the termination of such Manager's
status as Manager shall not in any manner affect such Person's Interest as a
Member or any rights or obligations attributable to such Interest. If the
Manager ceases to be a Manager for any reason, ARC shall have the right to
appoint a replacement manager. If at any time there shall be more than one
Manager, then each Manager shall have all of the rights and duties attributed to
the Manager under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 8

 

RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF MEMBERS

 

8.1           Admission of Members. Each of ARC and DASCO is hereby recognized
as a Member of the Company. No other Person shall be recognized or admitted as a
Member of the Company unless such Person has satisfied the requirements of
Article 9.

 

8.2           No Individual Authority. Except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement or in the Act, no Member, acting alone, shall have any authority
to act for, or to create, undertake or assume any liabilities, obligations or
responsibilities on behalf of the Company or any other Member.

 

19

 

 

8.3           No Compensation. Except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to receive any compensation or
reimbursement from the Company or from any other Member for services performed
or costs incurred in its capacity as a Member.

 

8.4           Indemnification by the Members. Each Member hereby agrees to
indemnify the Company and each of its other Members and hold them each harmless
from and against all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense (including
attorneys' fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense and settlement
of the matter) which the Company or any of such other Members shall ever
sustain, suffer or incur which relate or arise out of or in connection with a
breach by the indemnifying Member of any representation, warranty or covenant
made by the indemnifying Member in this Agreement. If the Company is made a
party to any litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of
or in connection with any Member's personal obligations or liabilities unrelated
to Company business, such Member shall indemnify and reimburse the Company for
all such loss and expense incurred, including reasonable attorneys' fees. The
liability of any Member pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be enforceable
against such Member personally.

 

8.5           Indemnification by the Company. The Company shall indemnify each
of its Members and former Members for all costs, losses, liabilities and damages
paid or incurred by any of them in connection with the business of the Company,
including any judgments, settlements, penalties, fines and expenses incurred in
a proceeding to which any such person is a party because the person is or was a
Member of the Company, to the fullest extent provided or allowed by the Act or
any other applicable laws, provided, however, that such liability does not arise
by reason of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Member or any
matter described in Section 8.4 with respect to which the Member is obligated to
indemnify the Company. The foregoing indemnity shall not be enforceable against
any Member personally.

 

8.6           Rights of a Former Member. No Member shall have the right or power
to resign or withdraw by voluntary act from the Company. If a Member shall cease
to be a Member, and if the Company is not then dissolved, then, notwithstanding
Section 18-604 of the Act, such former Member shall not thereby be entitled to
receive the fair market value of such former Member's membership interest in the
Company or any other payment or any other distribution except as specifically
provided in this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 9

 

TRANSFER OF MEMBERSHIP INTEREST

 

9.1           Restrictions on Transfer. Except as expressly permitted in
Sections 9.3, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6, no Member shall Transfer, or cause or permit the
Transfer of, all or any portion of its Interest or any interest therein, without
obtaining the prior written consent of the other Member. Such consent may be
given or withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of any Member, whether
reasonable or unreasonable under the circumstances. Any Transfer, or purported
Transfer, of all or any part of an Interest made in violation of the provisions
of this Article 9 shall be void and of no force or effect against the Company,
the other Member, any creditor of the Company or any claimant against the
Company. If a Member consents to a Transfer of the Interest of another Member or
if a Member effects a Transfer of its Interest permitted under this Article 9,
then the giving of any such consent or the making of such permitted Transfer in
any one or more instances shall not limit or waive the requirement for such
consent or the application of the provisions of this Article 9 to any other or
subsequent Transfer of such Member's Interest.

 

20

 

 

9.1.1 Condition to All Transfers. It shall be a condition to any Transfer that
any required consent to such Transfer by any Secured Lender (and any other
creditors of the Company or any Property Entity that have approval rights under
the terms of their credit documents) shall have been obtained. It shall also be
a condition to the effectiveness of any Transfer (other than a Transfer arising
as a result of a Terminating Event, as described in Section 9.6.1) of all or
part of the Interest of a Member to a Person other than a Member, including
Transfers otherwise permitted by Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, and a condition to
the purported transferee of such Transfer being admitted as a Member of the
Company or otherwise being entitled to any benefits or rights under this
Agreement or otherwise associated with such Interest, that:

 

(i)          except in the case of a Transfer of ownership interests in a Member
permitted by Section 9.3.3 or 9.3.5, (a) the transferee shall execute and
deliver to the other Member a written agreement reasonably satisfactory to the
other Member accepting and adopting the terms of this Agreement and
unconditionally assuming and agreeing to be bound by all obligations, conditions
and covenants of the transferring Member hereunder with respect to the Interest
transferred (whether in existence at the time of such Transfer or accruing
thereafter), and (b) any guarantor of the obligations of the transferor under
this Agreement shall execute a written guaranty of the obligations of the
transferee hereunder, to the same extent and on the same terms as such guaranty
of the transferor's obligations;

 

(ii)         except in the case of a Transfer of ownership interests in a Member
permitted by Section 9.3.3 or 9.3.5, the other Member shall have received such
evidence (including opinions of counsel) of the due authorization, execution and
delivery of instruments by, and the validity and enforceability of such
instruments against, such transferee as the other Member shall reasonably
request;

 

(iii)        the other Member shall have received an opinion of counsel
reasonably acceptable to the other Member that (a) such Transfer shall not
violate any federal or applicable state securities law or cause the Company to
fail to qualify for an exemption from registration under the federal and any
applicable state securities laws, and (b) such Transfer will not result in the
imposition of fiduciary responsibility on the Company, any Property Entity, the
Manager, any Member or any Affiliate of any Member under the Employee Retirement
Income and Security Act of 1974, as amended from time to time ("ERISA"); and

 

(iv)        except in the case of a Transfer of ownership interests in a Member
permitted by Section 9.3.5, the other Member shall have received either (a) an
opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the other Member that such
Transfer will not result in a termination of the Company for federal income tax
purposes, or (b) an indemnity against any additional income tax liability of the
other Member (including any taxes payable with respect to payments under such
indemnity) and any other costs of such Member (including such Member's
Percentage Interest of any costs of the Company) arising from such a termination
resulting from such Transfer, such indemnity to be in such form and from a party
having such creditworthiness as is reasonably acceptable to the other Member,
the choice of (a) or (b) above being in the sole discretion of the transferring
Member.

 

21

 

 

9.2          Indirect Transfers. If an Interest is at any time held by a Member
that is a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other
Entity, any Transfer of a direct or indirect ownership interest in such Member
shall be deemed a Transfer of the Interest of such Member and subject to the
provisions of Section 9.1, except as expressly provided in Section 9.3.

 

9.3          Certain Permitted Transfers.

 

9.3.1 Transfers by ARC. Notwithstanding the other provisions of Section 9.1 and
9.2, but subject to the limitations of Section 9.1.1, ARC may at any time
Transfer all or any portion of ARC's Interest to any Person, without the consent
of the Manager or any other Member.

 

9.3.2 Intentionally Omitted.

 

9.3.3 Indirect Transfers. Notwithstanding the other provisions of Sections 9.1
and 9.2, but subject to the limitations of Section 9.1.1, any Person who is a
stockholder, partner, member or other direct or indirect owner of any Member
may, from time to time, Transfer all or a portion of such Person's direct or
indirect interest in such Member to any Person, provided that (a) either (i) the
assignee of such interest satisfies the provisions of Section 9.3.5 or (ii) the
Members receive other evidence satisfactory to each of them that the proposed
Transfer shall not result in adverse consequences to such Member or the Company
relating to ERISA, and (b) after giving effect to such Transfer, such Member
would come within the definition of a "Transfer Affiliate" as applied to such
Member as constituted on the date of this Agreement.

 

9.3.4 Transfers to Transfer Affiliates.         Subject to the limitations of
Section 9.1.1, each Member shall have the right, at any time or from time to
time, without the consent of the Manager or any other Member, to sell or assign
all or any portion of its Interest to a Transfer Affiliate of such Member. In
the event of any such Transfer, the transferee shall assume all obligations of
the transferor attributable to the Interest transferred in accordance with
Section 9.1.1; provided that the transferor shall not thereby be released and
shall continue to be jointly and severally liable with such transferee for all
such obligations. Furthermore, any transferee of all or any portion of the
Interest of a Member shall have the right, pursuant to this Section 9.3.4, to
assign all or any portion of its Interest to such Member or any Transfer
Affiliate of such Member, except that if a Member has assigned its entire
Interest, any further assignment of all or any portion of such Interest shall be
subject to the provisions of this Article 9. If a Member shall transfer less
than its entire Interest to a Transfer Affiliate, references to such Member in
this Agreement shall refer to such Member and its Transfer Affiliate
collectively, and such transferor Member shall be authorized to act on behalf of
such Transfer Affiliate for all purposes under this Agreement.

 

22

 

 

9.3.5 Transfers of Registered Securities. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, any owner of any securities issued by any Member
or any direct or indirect owner of any Member may transfer those securities
pursuant to a transaction occurring in the ordinary course of trading of
publicly-traded securities, if the securities were issued pursuant to a
registration statement that has been filed with and declared effective by the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission, subject only to any required
consent of any Secured Lender.

 

9.3.6 Continuation of Guaranty. Notwithstanding the transfer of any Interest or
of any direct or indirect interest in any Member permitted by this Section 9.3,
any guaranty of the obligations of the transferor hereunder then in effect shall
not thereby be released, but shall continue in effect both with respect to such
transferor and with respect to any and all obligations of the transferee under
this Agreement.

 

9.4          Intentionally Omitted.

 

9.5          Go-Along Obligation. If at any time ARC enters into a definitive
written agreement to sell or transfer all of the Interests in the Company to any
third party, ARC shall promptly give DASCO written notice thereof (a "Go-Along
Notice"). DASCO agrees to (i) sell and transfer its entire Interest in
accordance with the terms and conditions of such definitive written agreement,
and (ii) execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments reasonably
necessary in connection therewith, provided that (A) the price payable to DASCO
shall equal DASCO's initial capital contribution set forth in Section 4.1.2. If
DASCO shall fail or refuse to sell and transfer its Interest in accordance with
this Section 9.5, or to execute all documents and instruments reasonably
necessary in connection therewith, DASCO hereby irrevocably appoints ARC, with
full power to act alone, as DASCO's agent and attorney-in-fact to execute and
deliver said documents and sell and transfer the Interest of DASCO.

 

9.6          Terminating Event to Member.

 

9.6.1 Effect of Terminating Event. Except as specifically provided in this
Agreement, the occurrence of a Terminating Event to a Member (the "Terminated
Member") shall not cause the dissolution or termination of the Company, and the
Company shall continue in effect under this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of a
Terminating Event (other than a Termination Event described in clause (i) of the
definition thereof), the representative, trustee in bankruptcy, or lawful
successor or assigns of the Terminated Member (i) shall within 15 days of the
occurrence of the Terminating Event, deliver written notice to the other Member
of such Terminating Event, its nature and date of occurrence, and (ii) shall,
except as otherwise specified in this Section 9.6, succeed to the Terminated
Member's rights, powers and obligations solely for the purpose of administering
the Interest of the Terminated Member. Upon settlement of the winding up and
dissolution or reorganization of the Terminated Member, the successors or
assigns of the Terminated Member pursuant to such winding up and dissolution or
reorganization shall, subject to the continuation of the Company and the
provisions of this Section 9.6, become a substitute Member in the Company in the
place and stead of the Terminated Member and shall succeed to the Interest of
the Terminated Member in accordance with the terms of the settlement of the
winding up and dissolution, or reorganization of, the Terminated Member's
affairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date on which a
Terminating Event occurs to a Terminated Member, all of the Terminated Member's
rights to management and control of the Company shall immediately terminate,
including the right to approve Annual Budgets, the right to participate in other
Major Decisions, the right to appoint a Manager, the right to consent to
Transfers of Interests by any other Member (or Transfers of interests in any
other Member), the right to participate in a Transfer under Section 9.4, and the
right to initiate any of the provisions of Section 9.5 or 9.6.2; and the other
Member (the "Remaining Member") shall have the sole right to replace the Manager
and otherwise act on behalf of the Company.

 

23

 

 

9.6.2 Right of Remaining Member to Purchase. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 9.6.1, upon the occurrence of a Terminating Event, the Remaining Member
shall have the right to elect to purchase all, but not less than all, of the
Interest of the Terminated Member. Such right shall be exercisable by delivering
written notice to the Terminated Member (or its successor in interest) within
180 days after (i) the expiration of the five-day period described in clause (i)
of the definition of Terminating Event, in the case of a Terminating Event
described in that clause (i), or (ii) the receipt of written notice of the
occurrence of the Terminating Event in accordance with Section 9.6.1 in the case
of any other Terminating Event, provided that the receipt of the notice
described in clause (ii) above shall not be a condition to the rights of the
Remaining Member described in this Section 9.6.2. If the Remaining Member elects
to purchase the Interest of the Terminated Member, then the Fair Market Value of
the Terminated Member's Interest shall be determined by appraisal pursuant to
the procedures specified in Section 9.15. Upon receipt of the final
determination of Fair Market Value based on such appraisal, the Remaining Member
shall have the right, within 90 days thereafter, to elect to purchase or not
purchase the Interest of the Terminated Member for a purchase price equal to (x)
65% of the Fair Market Value of the Terminated Member's Interest if the
Terminating Event is described in clause (i) of the definition thereof, or (y)
100% of the Fair Market Value of the Terminated Member's Interest in the case of
any other Terminating Event. Exercise by the Remaining Member of its election to
purchase the Interest of the Terminated Member under this Section 9.6.2 shall be
made by delivering written notice of such election to the Terminated Member (or
its successor in interest) within such 90-day period. Failure of the Remaining
Member to deliver such notice within such period shall constitute an election
not to purchase the Interest of the Terminated Member pursuant to this Section
9.6.2. Upon election by the Remaining Member to purchase the Interest of the
Terminated Member, the purchase and sale of the Terminated Member's Interest
shall be consummated pursuant to the provisions of Sections 9.8 through 9.13.

 

24

 

 

9.7           Priority of Purchase Rights. Notwithstanding any other provisions
of this Article 9, a Member may not initiate the procedures under any of
Sections 9.3.1, 9.3.2, 9.4, 9.5 or 9.6.2 during any period after which the
provisions of any such Section have been initiated and the purchase of a
Member's Interest is pending, until either such pending transaction has been
consummated or it has been conclusively determined that such pending transaction
shall not be consummated either by reason of the expiration of any specified
time periods or otherwise. The order of the initiation of the procedures under
Sections 9.3.1, 9.3.2, 9.4, 9.5 and 9.6.2 shall be determined by the date of
deemed delivery of the applicable notices, as provided in Section 13.2.

 

9.8           Liabilities; Indemnity. If a Member's Interest is purchased by
another Member pursuant to any provision of this Article 9, the purchasing
Member (and the Company, if it continues in existence) shall indemnify, defend
and hold the selling Member, its directors, officers, shareholders, partners,
members, managers, employees and agents, or any of them harmless from any and
all claims, demands, actions, losses, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with all obligations
or liabilities of the Company, whether or not incurred or accrued while the
selling Member was a Member or after the date of consummation of the purchase
and sale of the selling Member's Interest.

 

9.9           Releases. In connection with a purchase by a Member of another
Member's Interest under any provision of this Article 9, if the selling Member
or any Affiliate thereof is a guarantor or an indemnitor of or with respect to
any obligations of the Company for or in connection with borrowed money or is
otherwise liable thereon, then at or prior to the closing of such transaction
and as a condition precedent to such closing, the purchasing Member shall obtain
a release of such guarantee or liability (excluding only any environmental
indemnity to any lender to the Company to the extent that such indemnity relates
to the period preceding the closing); or if such a release is not obtainable
without the payment of any money by any Member, with the consent of the selling
Member (which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion), the purchasing
Member shall fully indemnify the selling Member and its Affiliates with respect
to any such obligations. Any such indemnity by the purchasing Member shall be
secured by its right to all Distributions by the Company (both with respect to
the purchased Interest and with respect to all other Interests of the purchasing
Member and its Affiliates). If the releases described above are not obtainable
without the payment of money by any Member and the selling Member does not
consent to the indemnification described above, then the Members shall have no
further rights or obligations under this Agreement to purchase or sell the
applicable Interest with respect to the particular event or election giving rise
to such rights. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the right of
a Member to purchase the other Member's Interest under this Article 9 may
subsequently arise as a result of similar or other circumstances, subject in
each case to this Section 9.9.

 

9.10 Form of Payment of Purchase Price. In the case of a purchase by a Member of
another Member's Interest under any provision of this Article 9, the purchase
price for a Member's Interest shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately
available funds as directed by the selling Member.

 

9.11 Procedures for Closing of Purchase and Sale Transactions. The provisions of
this Section 9.11 shall apply to any purchase by one Member of another Member's
Interest pursuant to any provision of this Article 9, except to the extent
otherwise specified in the applicable Section within this Article 9.

 

25

 

 

9.11.1 Location and Time Periods. The closing of any purchase and sale of an
Interest between Members under this Agreement shall be held at the principal
office of the Company or such other location as the Members may mutually agree
upon. The purchase and sale transaction shall close not later than one hundred
twenty (120) days after the date the purchase price for the Member's Interest
has been determined under the applicable provisions of this Article 9.

 

9.11.2 Closing Documents. Each Member shall deposit such documents and
instruments, duly executed, and acknowledged where required, as may be necessary
to consummate the purchase and sale of a Member's Interest hereunder. Without
limiting the foregoing, the selling Member shall execute and deliver at the
closing an assignment, instrument of conveyance or other instrument appropriate
to convey the entire Interest of the selling Member to the purchasing Member,
and shall deliver to the purchasing Member such evidence as the purchasing
Member may reasonably request showing that the Interest being sold is owned or
will be owned by the purchasing Member free and clear of any and all claims,
liens and encumbrances of any kind or nature. In addition, as a condition
precedent to the closing, the parties to the transaction shall obtain the
written consents of any lenders to the Company (to the extent such consents are
required under the applicable loan documents) to the transactions to be
consummated at the closing. The purchasing and selling Members shall each use
their reasonable best efforts and cooperate in good faith to obtain such
lenders' consents. If any such consent cannot be obtained, then, at the election
of the purchasing Member, either (i) the purchasing Member may, in its sole
discretion, waive the requirement of such consents; or (ii) the rights and
obligations of the Members to purchase and sell resulting from the applicable
election shall terminate and no Member shall have any further right or
obligation arising from such election to purchase or sell.

 

9.11.3 Payment of Loans. If there shall be any outstanding loans owed by the
Company to the selling Member or its Affiliates, such loans, including accrued
and unpaid interest, shall be purchased without discount by the purchasing
Member as a condition precedent to the closing. The purchase price for such
loans shall be paid in full at the closing in the same manner as the purchase
price for the Interest is paid. At the closing, the selling Member shall deliver
to the purchasing Member each note or other instrument evidencing such loans,
all documents securing such loans and an assignment or satisfaction, which
assignment or satisfaction shall be at the election of the purchasing Member.

 

9.11.4 Closing Costs and Prorations. On the date of the closing of the purchase
of a Member's Interest by another Member, any closing adjustments and prorations
of items of income and expense of the Company shall be made between the Members
and either charged or debited to the selling or purchasing Member, as may be
appropriate. One hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the closing, any
such prorations shall be adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect actual
events. The purchase price to be paid for a selling Member's Interest shall also
be (i) increased by the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions made by
the selling Member to the Company between the date on which the purchase price
for such Member's Interest was established pursuant hereto and the date of
closing and (ii) reduced by the aggregate amount of all Distributions of any
kind or character received by the selling Member between the date on which the
purchase price was established and the date of closing. Furthermore, the
purchasing Member shall have the right to offset any sums owed by the selling
Member to the purchasing Member or the Company against the purchase price
payable for the Interest acquired. All closing costs shall be borne equally by
the selling Member and the purchasing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
costs of obtaining any appraisals pursuant to Section 9.15 shall be paid as
provided in Section 9.15.

 

26

 

 

9.11.5 Specific Performance. It is the intent of the Members that the
requirements or obligations, if any, of any Member to sell its Interest and of
any Member to purchase another Member's Interest in accordance with the
provisions of this Article 9 shall be enforceable by an action for specific
performance, with the same force and effect and at least to the same extent as
is permitted at law or in equity for the specific performance of a contract
relating to the purchase of real property or an interest therein.

 

9.11.6 Right to Assign. Each Member understands that to preserve the character
of the Company and consummate the purchase of the entire Interest of the other
Member, the purchasing Member may assign its purchase rights under this Article
9 in whole or in part to any Affiliate or unrelated party who, upon closing,
shall become a Member of the Company, and accordingly agrees that any such
purchase rights shall be assignable by the purchasing Member without the consent
of the selling Member, provided that (a) the purchasing Member delivers written
notice to the selling Member of such assignment and of the identity of the
assignee prior to the closing; (b) such assignment, in the opinion of counsel to
any Member, would not require registration of any interests in the Company under
the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities law, or result in
any violation of any such laws; and (c) no such assignment shall relieve the
purchasing Member of its obligations and liabilities under this Article 9,
including any indemnity obligations.

 

9.12 Assignees. For purposes of this Agreement, the Interest of each Member
shall include all Company Interests owned by such Member and any Interest that
is owned by any Affiliate of such Member or that has been assigned by such
Member to an Affiliate of such Member or to any other Person (other than to
another Member or an Affiliate thereof). Any elections made by any Member, and
any obligations of any Member to sell its Interest under this Article 9 shall
bind any Affiliate and any other such assignee of such Member. All references in
this Article 9 to a Member shall include all Affiliates of such Member and,
except as provided above, all Persons to which any such Member has assigned any
portion of its Interest.

 

9.13 Termination on Sale. Upon consummation of the purchase and sale of a
Member's entire Interest to another Member under this Article 9, (i) the selling
Member's Interest in the Company shall be fully and completely settled and
terminated, and (ii) the selling Member's rights and obligations under this
Agreement shall terminate, except (x) as to items incurred or accrued as of such
date and not subject to indemnification hereunder, and (y) as to any indemnity
obligations of such selling Member attributable to acts or events occurring
prior to such date or otherwise specified in this Article 9.

 

27

 

 

9.14 No Partitions or Withdrawal from Company. No Member shall have the right to
have any property of the Company or of any Property Entity or any portion
thereof partitioned, and each Member on its own behalf, and on behalf of its
successors, representatives, heirs and assigns, hereby expressly waives any such
right. No Member shall have the right to withdraw from the Company, except
pursuant to the procedures specified herein with respect to Transfers or other
events giving rise to the right of a Member to purchase an Interest.

 

9.15 Appraisals. Whenever this Agreement provides for a valuation or
determination by appraisal, then such valuation or determination shall be
determined by appraisal pursuant to the applicable terms, conditions and
procedures specified in this Section 9.15.

 

9.15.1 Specification of Appraisal Parameters. As used herein, the "Fair Market
Value" of an Interest shall mean the value of the Interest to be sold or
purchased, determined as specified in Section 9.15.3, based on the Fair Market
Value of the Company, except that the value of the Interest shall not be
discounted because the Interest, represents a minority interest or because of a
lack of marketability of the Interest. As used herein, the "Fair Market Value"
of the Company or the property of the Company shall mean the cash price that a
sophisticated purchaser would pay, as of the date an appraisal is to be made
hereunder, for all Company property in excess of all liabilities of the Company,
such evaluation to be made utilizing the assumptions that (i) such property is
in its then-existing condition and is subject to any agreements, including
leases, and management and service agreements but excluding this Agreement, then
in effect which would be binding on such purchaser, (ii) the purchase agreement
of such sophisticated purchaser is subject to a reasonable closing period, (iii)
such sophisticated purchaser is acquiring solely the Company property and is
giving no other separate consideration or economic incentives (such as a
below-market leaseback of the property or any space therein), and (iv) the offer
of the sophisticated purchaser is unconditional and noncontingent. The Fair
Market Value of the Company or the property thereof shall be reduced to give
effect to any customary brokerage, title insurance and other closing costs (not
exceeding, in the aggregate, six percent (6%) of such Fair Market Value prior to
such reduction) that would be incurred if all of the property of the Company
were sold. A "sophisticated purchaser" shall mean a Person who would take into
account the nature, extent, maturity date and other terms of the liabilities of
the Company, whether fixed or contingent, including the favorable or unfavorable
nature of any financing then encumbering the property of the Company and whether
such financing is assumable, and the prospects that the income from the property
of the Company would be sufficient to satisfy such liabilities when due
(excluding any liability under financing already taken into account), or through
appropriate refinancing thereof

 

9.15.2 Appraisal Procedure.

 

9.15.2.1   Agreement of Members. If any provision of this Agreement requires a
valuation or determination by appraisal, then the Members (or a Member's
representative, such as a trustee in bankruptcy or receiver) shall in good faith
attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Value of the Company and/or of the
Interest of the affected Member.

 

28

 

 

9.15.2.2 Appointment of Appraisers on Failure of Members to Agree. If the
Members are not able to so agree within twenty (20) days after receipt of notice
of the event giving rise to the invocation of the appraisal procedure, then
unless the Members agree within the same period on one Appraiser, each Member
shall, within ten Business Days after the expiration of such twenty (20) day
period, specify by written notice to the other Member the name and address of an
Appraiser to act on behalf of such Member. If a Member fails to appoint its
Appraiser within such ten Business Day period, then the Appraiser appointed by
the other Member shall carry out the appraisal hereunder.

 

9.15.2.3 Rendition of Appraisals. Within forty-five (45) days after the
appointment of the Appraiser or Appraisers pursuant to Section 9.15.2.2, each
such Appraiser shall render an opinion in writing setting forth the net fair
market value of the Company or the property of the Company (as may apply), and
deliver the same to each Member. The net fair market value of the Company or the
property of the Company shall be determined in accordance with sound, customary
and usual appraisal practices for the appraisal of real estate and other Company
assets, taking into account the standards specified herein and shall otherwise
assume that the Company property is then being used for the highest and best
use. The Appraisers shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to consult
the Members, the Manager, the Accountants, experts and competent authorities,
and receive factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of the
net fair market value of the Company, as the Appraisers may consider necessary
or useful. The determination of each Appraiser shall contain appropriate
supporting detail and explanation. Such determinations shall be binding and
conclusive upon the Members, absent fraud or manifest error.

 

9.15.2.4 Determination of Fair Market Value. If only one Appraiser is appointed
pursuant to Section 9.15.2.2, then the Fair Market Value of the Company or the
property of the Company (as may apply) shall be the net fair market value
thereof, as determined by such Appraiser, as provided above. If two Appraisers
are appointed pursuant to Section 9.15.2.2, and the determination of the net
fair market value of the Company or the Property of the Company (as may apply)
that is higher in amount exceeds the lower of such determinations by no more
than 10% of the amount of such higher determination, then the Fair Market Value
of the Company or the property of the Company (as may apply) shall be the
arithmetic average of the two appraisals. If two Appraisers are appointed
pursuant to Section 9.15.2.2 and the higher of the two appraisals exceeds the
lower of the two appraisals by more than 10% of the amount of the higher of the
two appraisals, then the provisions of Section 9.15.2.5 shall apply.

9.15.2.5 Appointment of Third Appraiser. If this Section 9.15.2.5 applies,
within ten Business Days after the delivery to the Members of the later to be
received of the two appraisals described above, the two Appraisers shall appoint
a third Appraiser. If the two Appraisers are unable to agree upon a third
Appraiser within such ten Business Day period, then the Members themselves shall
select a third Appraiser within a further period of five Business Days. If the
Members are unable to agree within such five Business Day period, then either
Member, on behalf of both of them, may request the American Institute of Real
Estate Appraisers to appoint the third Appraiser and the other Member shall not
raise any objection to such Person's full power and jurisdiction to entertain
the application and make the appointment. The third Appraiser shall determine
the net fair market value of the Company or the property of the Company (as may
apply), in accordance with the standards described in Section 9.15.2.3. The Fair
Market Value of the Company or the property of the Company (as may apply) shall
be the net fair market value thereof as set forth in the one of the three
appraisals that is neither higher than nor lower than both of the other two
appraisals.

 

9.15.3 Determination of Fair Market Value of Interest. The Accountants shall
determine the Fair Market Value of an Interest to be purchased. The Fair Market
Value of such Interest shall be equal to the amount the selling Member would
receive if (i) the property of the Company were sold for the Fair Market Value
of the Company or the property of the Company determined under Section 9.15.2,
and (ii) the affairs of the Company were wound up and the remaining proceeds of
sale distributed by the Company to the Members pursuant to the provisions of
Section 11.3. The Accountants shall notify the Members in writing of their
determination within 20 days after the determination of the Fair Market Value of
the Company or the property of the Company under Section 9.15.2, and such
determination by the Accountants shall be final and binding on the Members,
absent fraud or manifest error.

 

9.15.4 Costs and Fees. All costs and fees payable to Appraisers or the
Accountants in connection with the procedures under this Section 9.15 shall be
paid equally by the Members, except that in the case of transactions described
in Section 9.6.2, such costs and fees shall be paid entirely by the Terminated
Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.15.4, all
costs and expenses incurred by a Member to retain its own attorneys or other
independent consultants in connection with the appraisal procedure hereunder
shall be borne by such Member.

REIT GUIDELINES

 

1.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will enter into, as
direct or indirect, lessor or licensor, any lease, license, concession or other
agreement or permit any sublease, license, concession or other agreement that
provides for rent based in whole or in part on the income or profits of any
Person, excluding for this purpose a lease that provides for rent based in whole
or in part on a fixed percentage or percentages of gross receipts or gross sales
of any Person (without reduction for any sublessor costs in the case of any
sublease).

 

2.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will lease, as direct
or indirect lessor, personal property, excluding for this purpose a lease of
personal property that is entered into in connection with a lease of real
property where the rent attributable to the personal property is less than 15%
of the total rent provided for under the lease.

 

3.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will acquire or hold
any debt investments, excluding for these purposes "debt" solely between
wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, unless (i) the amount of interest
income received or accrued by the Company under such loan does not, directly or
indirectly, depend in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person,
and (ii) the debt is fully and adequately secured by mortgages on real property
or on interests in real property.

 

4.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will acquire or hold,
directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding securities of any one
issuer (by vote or value) other than an entity which either (i) is taxable as a
partnership for United States federal income tax purposes, or (ii) has properly
elected to be a "taxable REIT subsidiary" of ARC REIT by jointly filing with
REIT IRS Form 8875.

 

5.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will make an election
or take any action or fail to take any action that would cause the Company or
any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company to be treated as (i) an entity that
is not classified as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income
tax purposes or (ii) a publicly traded partnership as defined in Section 7704 of
the Code.

 

6.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will enter into any
agreement under which the Company or Property Entity receives amounts, directly
or indirectly, for rendering services to the tenants of any property that is
owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company or any Property Entity other than
(i) amounts received for services that are customarily furnished or rendered in
connection with the rental of real property of a similar class in the geographic
areas in which the Property is located where such services are either provided
by (A) an Independent Contractor (as defined in Section 856(d)(3) of the Code)
who is adequately compensated for such services and from which neither the
Company nor any Property Entity, directly or indirectly, derives revenue or (B)
a taxable REIT subsidiary that is adequately compensated for such services or
(ii) amounts received for services that are customarily furnished or rendered in
connection with the rental of space for occupancy only (as opposed to being
rendered primarily for the convenience of the tenants of the Company or Property
Entity).

 

 

 

 

7.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will enter into any
agreement if a material amount of income received or accrued by the Company or
Property Entity under the agreement, directly or indirectly, does not qualify as
either (i) "rents from real property" or (ii) "interest on obligations secured
by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property," in each case as
such terms are defined in Section 856 of the Code.

 

8.            Neither the Company nor any Property Entity will hold cash
available for operations or distribution in any manner other than a traditional
bank checking or savings account.

of any property, subsidiary or other asset prior to (i) the completion of a
two-year holding period beginning on the date the Company or Property Entity
acquires a direct or indirect interest in such property and begins to hold such
property, subsidiary or asset for the production of rental income, and (ii) the
satisfaction of any other requirements under Section 857 of the Code necessary
for the avoidance of a prohibited transaction tax on the REIT. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company or a Property Entity may sell or dispose of any such
property, subsidiary or asset on prior written notice from the Manager to each
Member.

 

10.          Neither the Company nor any Property Entity shall, directly or
indirectly, allocate or distribute gains to ARC that would cause ARC REIT to
violate either of the gross income tests under Section 856(c)(2) or Section
856(c)(3).
