same is itself a Member) or any of the assets or property of any of the
foregoing, for the payment or collection of any amount, judgment, judicial
process, arbitration award, fees or costs or for any other obligation or claim
arising out of or based upon this Agreement.

(c)           The provisions of this Section 3.02 shall survive the termination
or expiration of this Agreement.

3.03.   Third-Party Debt Liability.   The parties intend that no Member, or any
of its Related Persons, shall have any liability under or in connection with any
third-party debt, including liability with regard to any environmental matters,
recourse carve-outs, fraud, intentional misconduct, theft or other commonly
called “bad-boy acts” or with regard to any other matter, unless otherwise
approved by all of the Members.

IV.           CAPITAL

4.01.   Records.   The Managing Member shall be required to record in the books
and records of the Company, from time to time, as necessary, any Capital
Contributions made in accordance with this Article IV and any return of capital
made in accordance with this Agreement.

4.02.   Capital Contributions.   The Managing Member may in its sole and
absolute discretion make Capital Contributions to the Company from time to time.

4.03.   Capital Accounts.   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 and fair market value of any property contributed by such Member to

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

(ii)           The Member’s distributive share of Net Profit and items thereof;
and

(iii)          Any other increases required by Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

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

(i)            Any distributions of cash made from the Company to such Member
(including all amounts paid or distributed pursuant to the provisions of
Section 6.03 hereof other than distributions made pursuant to
Section 6.03(b)(i)) 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 items thereof;
and

(iii)          Any other decreases required by Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

The provisions of this Section 4.03 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. In the
event the Tax Matters Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the
manner in which the Capital Accounts or any debts or credits thereto (including,
without limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured
by contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Company or
any Members) are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the Managing
Member may make such modification, provided that it is not likely to have a
material effect on the amounts distributed to any Member pursuant to
Section 6.04 hereof upon the dissolution of the Company.

4.04.        No Further Capital Contributions. Except as expressly provided in
this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the Managing Member, 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 (it being understood, however, that amounts properly incurred by
a Member which are reimbursable by the Company pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement shall not be deemed loans). No Member will have
any obligation to restore any negative or deficit balance in its Capital Account
upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company (and for purposes of this
Section 4.04, Capital Account shall be deemed to also include the capital
account of any Member for financial or book purposes or as set forth in the
Delaware Act or under common law). Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, nothing contained herein will, or is intended or will
be deemed to benefit any creditor of the Company or any creditor of any Member,
and no such creditor shall have any rights, interests or claims hereunder, be
entitled to any benefits or be entitled to require the Company, the Managing
Member or any Member to demand, solicit or accept any loan, advance or
additional Capital Contribution for or to the Company or to enforce any rights
which the Company or any Member may have against any other Member or which any
Member may have against the Company, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

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

 

4.05.        Book Basis Adjustments. The Book Basis of all assets will be
adjusted to equal their respective fair market values, as agreed to by the
Members, upon the events set forth in Treasury Regulation
§ 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(5).

V.            INTERESTS IN THE COMPANY

 

5.01.        Percentage Interests. With regard to each Member separately, the
Percentage Interest and the Payout Percentages of each Member as of the date
hereof shall be as set forth in Section 1.01 hereof. The Percentage Interests
and the Payout Percentages of the Members may be adjusted only as set forth in
this Agreement.

5.02.        Return of Capital. No Member shall be liable for the return of the
Capital Contributions (or any portion thereof) of any other Member, it being
expressly understood and agreed that any such return shall be made solely from
the assets of the Company. No Member shall be entitled to withdraw or receive a
return of any part of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account, to receive
interest on its Capital Contributions or Capital Account or to receive any
distributions from the Company, except as expressly provided for in this
Agreement or under applicable law (and for purposes of this Section 5.02,
Capital Account shall be deemed to also include the Capital Account of any
Member for financial or book purposes or as set forth in the Delaware Act or
under common law).

5.03.        Ownership. All assets of the Company shall be owned by the Company,
subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

5.04.        Waiver of Partition; Nature of Interests in the Company. Except as
otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, each of the Members hereby
irrevocably waives any right or power that such Member might have:

(a)           To cause the Company or the assets of the Company to be
partitioned;

(b)           To cause the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of
the assets of the Company;

(c)           To compel any sale of all or any portion of the assets of the
Company pursuant to any applicable law; or

(d)           To file a complaint or to institute any proceeding at law or in
equity, to cause the termination, dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

Each of the Members has been induced to enter into this Agreement in reliance
upon the waivers set forth in this Section 5.04, and without such waivers no
Member would have entered into this Agreement. No Member shall have any interest
in any specific assets of the Company. The interests of all Members in this
Company are personal property.

VI.           ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

6.01.        Allocations. After the application of Section 6.02, Net Profits and
Net Losses for any taxable year, or portion thereof, shall be allocated among
the Members in a manner such that

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

the Capital Account of each Member, immediately after making such allocation,
and after taking into account actual distributions made during such taxable
year, or portion thereof, is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to
(i) the distributions that would be made to such Member pursuant to Section 6.03
if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash
equal to their Book Basis, all Company liabilities, including the Company’s
share of any liability of any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal
income tax purposes in which the Company is a partner, were satisfied (limited
with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Book Basis of the assets
securing such liability) and the net assets of the Company were distributed in
accordance with Section 6.03 to the Members immediately after making such
allocation, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Member Minimum Gain and Member
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), computed immediately prior to the
hypothetical sale of assets. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI,
an allocation to a Member of a share of Net Profit or Net Loss shall be treated
as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or
deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss.

6.02.        Special Allocations and Compliance with Section 704(b). The
following special allocations shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in
this Agreement, be made in the following order:

(a)           Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company
Minimum Gain during a Fiscal Year, so that an allocation is required by Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), each Member will be allocated, before any other
allocation under this Article VI, items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year
(and if necessary, subsequent years) in proportion to and to the extent of an
amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). This
Section 6.02(a) is intended to comply with, and shall be interpreted
consistently with, the “minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(f).

(b)           Minimum Gain Attributable to Member Nonrecourse Debt. If there is
a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to a Member
Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the
Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse
Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be
specially allocated items of the Company’s income and gain for such year (and,
if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the
net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain attributable to such Member
Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be
made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This
Section 6.02(b) is intended to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback”
requirement of that Section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.

(c)           Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocation or distributions described in clauses (4), (5) or (6) of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), items of the Company income
shall be specially

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

allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the
deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account created by such adjustments,
allocations or distributions as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an
allocation pursuant to this Section 6.02(c) shall be made only if, and to the
extent that, such Member would have a an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after
all other allocations provided for in Article VI tentatively have been made as
if this Section 6.02(c)  were not in this Agreement. This Section 6.02(c) is
intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) and shall be interpreted
consistently therewith.

(d)           Nonrecourse Deductions; Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse
Deductions shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their
Percentage Interests. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated
to the Member who bears (or is deemed to bear) the economic risk of loss with
respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse
Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(2).

(e)           Limitation on Allocation of Losses. To the extent that Net Losses
or items of loss or deduction otherwise allocable to a Member hereunder would
cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of
the taxable year to which such Net Losses, or items of loss or deduction, relate
(after taking into account the allocation of all items of income and gain for
such taxable period), such Net Losses, or items of loss or deduction, shall not
be allocated to such Member and instead shall be allocated to the Members in
accordance with Section 6.01 as if such Member were not a Member.

(f)            Regulatory Allocations. Any allocations required to be made
pursuant to Section 6.02(a) through Section 6.02(e) (the “Regulatory
Allocations”) (other than allocations, the effects of which are likely to be
offset in the future by other special allocations) shall be taken into account,
to the extent permitted by the Treasury Regulations, in computing subsequent
allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 6.01 so that
the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each
Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the amount that would have
been allocated to each Member pursuant to Section 6.01 had such Regulatory
Allocations under this Section 6.02 not occurred.

(g)           Liquidation. It is intended that prior to a distribution of the
proceeds from a liquidation of the Company, the positive Capital Account balance
of each Member shall be equal to the amount that such Member is entitled to
receive pursuant to Section 6.03. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Article VI, to the extent permissible under Sections 704(b) of
the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, Net Profits and
Net Losses and, if necessary, items of gross income and gross deductions, of the
Company for the year of liquidation of the Company (or, if earlier, the year in
which all or substantially all of the Company’s assets are sold, transferred or
disposed of) shall be allocated among the Members so as to bring the positive
Capital Account balance of each Member as close as possible to the amount that
such Member would receive if the Company were liquidated and all the proceeds
were distributed in accordance with Section 6.03.

6.03.        Distributions. From and after the date hereof, except as provided
in Section 6.04, and subject to Sections 6.05 and 6.09 hereof, the Company shall
make distributions or payments

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

of Net Cash Flow (to the extent and if available) to the Members in the
following manner and order of priority:

(a)           First, an amount of Net Cash Flow shall be paid to the Managing
Member until the Managing Member shall have received payments of Net Cash Flow,
pursuant to this Section 6.03(a), in an aggregate amount (for the current period
and all previous periods) equal to the Managing Member Preferential Return; and

(b)           Thereafter, any remaining Net Cash Flow shall be distributed to
the Members in accordance with and in proportion to their respective Payout
Percentages, determined as of the moment each dollar of such distribution is
made.

6.04.        Distributions in Liquidation. 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 accordance
with Section 6.03. With the approval of the Managing Member, a pro rata portion
of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members under the
preceding sentence may be distributed to a trust established (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 Section 6.04 will be distributed to
the Members from time-to-time by the trustee of the trust upon approval of the
Managing Member 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.        Reinvestment of Cash Flow. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 6.03, at the discretion of the Managing Member, the Company may retain
Net Cash Flow of the Company for any purpose.

6.06.        Tax Matters. The Members intend for the Company to be treated as a
partnership under the Code. The Managing Member shall make all applicable
elections, determinations and other decisions under the Code, 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 Managing Member. The Managing Member
shall cause all federal, state and local income and other tax returns to be
timely filed by the Company.

6.07.        Tax Matters Partner. The Managing Member shall be the tax matters
partner within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (“Tax Matters
Partner”) and, subject to Section 6.06, shall exercise all rights, obligations
and duties of a tax matters partner under the Code. The Managing Member, in its
capacity as Tax Matters Partner, shall oversee the Company tax affairs in the
overall best interests of the Company and shall comply with the requirements of
Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder,
and the Members further agree as follows:

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

(a)           The Tax Matters Partner shall have a continuing obligation to
provide the Internal Revenue Service with sufficient information so that proper
notice can be mailed to all Members as provided in Section 6223 of the Code.

(b)           The Tax Matters Partner shall keep the Members informed of all
administrative and/or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of partnership
items (as defined in Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code and regulations promulgated
thereunder).

(c)           The Tax Matters Partner may from time to time request that a
Member provide such documents and information necessary for the Tax Matters
Partner to perform its duties and obligations as Tax Matters Partner. Each
Member shall reasonably cooperate with any such request by the Tax Matters
Partner with respect to any such document or other information that may be in
such Member’s possession.

6.08.        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. The Company shall use the “traditional method” without curative
allocations.

6.09.        REIT Compliance. The Members hereby acknowledge the status of
Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (“MCRC”) (an Affiliate of the Managing Member) as a
REIT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
neither Member will require or cause the Company to take any action which may,
in the opinion of MCRC’s independent auditors or legal counsel, result in the
loss of MCRC’s status as a REIT. The Members further agree that, to the extent
possible, the Company shall be managed in a manner so that:  (a) the Company’s
gross income meets the tests provided in Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code
as if the Company were a REIT; (b) the Company’s assets meet the tests provided
in Section 856(c)(4) of the Code as if the Company were a REIT; and (c) the
Company minimizes federal, state and local income and excise taxes that may be
incurred by MCRC, or any of their Affiliates, including taxes under
Section 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code.  Furthermore, the Members shall use
reasonable efforts to structure the Company’s transactions to minimize any
prohibited transaction tax or other taxes applicable to any Member and MCRC. The
Members hereby further acknowledge, agree and accept that, pursuant to this
Section 6.09, the Company may be precluded from taking, or may be required to
take, an action which it would not have otherwise taken, even though the taking
or the not taking of such action might otherwise be advantageous to the Company
and/or to one or more of the Members (or one or more of their Affiliates).

VII.          MANAGEMENT

 

7.01.        Management. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, the business and affairs of the Company shall be controlled by the
Managing Member. The Managing Member shall have responsibility for supervising,
directing and overseeing the activities of the Company, establishing the

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

managing the business and affairs of the Company and making all decisions as to

power to participate in or have any control over the Company’s business, affairs

agreed to by all of the Members.

(b)           Any action required to be taken at a meeting of the Members or any
other action which may be taken at a meeting of the Members may be taken without
a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be
signed by all of the Members unless otherwise provided by the Delaware Act. Any
such consent signed by the Members as indicated above in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be a valid and proper act of the Members.

(c)           The Members may participate in and act at meetings of the Members
through the use of a conference telephone or other communications equipment or
system by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each
other (“Electronic Participation”). Participation in such meeting shall
constitute attendance in person at the meeting of the person or persons so
participating.

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

(d)           Notice of any meeting of the Members shall be given no fewer than
five (5) Business Days and no more than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the

set forth in Section 12.03 hereof. The attendance (whether in person or by
Electronic Participation) of a Member at a meeting of the Members (as reflected
in the minutes of the meeting) shall constitute a waiver of notice of such
meeting, except where a Member attends a meeting for the express purpose of
objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not properly
called or convened.

(e)           A written record of all meetings of the Members and all decisions

its services rendered pursuant to this Agreement.

(b)           Each of the Members recognizes that the other Member and its
members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives and Related Persons, has or may in the future have other
business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict
or competition with the business of the Company, and that the other Member and
its members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives and Related Persons, are entitled to carry on such other
business interests, activities and investments. Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall preclude any of the Members from engaging in or possessing an
interest in other business ventures of any nature and description, independently
or with others, including, but not limited to, the ownership, financing,
acquiring, leasing, promoting, improving, operation, management, syndication,
brokerage and/or development of real property, including, but not limited to,
property in the State of New Jersey, on its own behalf or on behalf of other
entities with which any of the Members is affiliated or otherwise, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall preclude any of the Members from engaging in
any such activities, whether or not competitive with the Company, without any
obligation to offer any interest in such activities to the Company or to the
other Member. Neither the Company nor the other Member shall have any right, by
virtue of this Agreement in or to such activities, or the income or profits
derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with
the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

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

7.05.        Company Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement, and except for any costs to be borne by any third party under any
agreement with the Company, the Company shall be responsible for paying, and
shall pay, all direct costs and expenses related to the business of the Company.
In the event any such costs and expenses are or have been paid by any Member,
such Member shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payment so long as such
payment is reasonably necessary for Company business or operations and has been
approved by the Managing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall the Company have any obligation to pay or reimburse any Member for (a) any
direct or indirect general overhead expense of such Member, (b) the costs and
expenses, including legal costs, relating to any employees, staff or other
personnel necessary to conduct the day-to-day operations of the Company or to

such case the same have been approved by the Managing Member.

VIII.        BOOKS AND RECORDS

 

8.01.        Books and Records. The Managing Member shall maintain, or cause to
be maintained, at the expense of the Company, in a manner customary and
consistent with good accounting principles, practices and procedures, a

and accounts shall be and remain the property of the Company) in which shall be
entered fully and accurately each and every financial transaction with respect
to the operations of the Company. Bills, receipts and vouchers shall be
maintained on file by the Managing Member. The Managing Member shall maintain
said books and accounts in a safe manner and separate from any records not
having to do directly with the Company. The Managing Member shall cause audits
to be performed and audited statements and income tax returns to be prepared as
required by Section 8.03 hereof. Such books and records of account shall be

the Code.

8.03.        Reports.

 

(a)           The Managing Member shall prepare or cause to be prepared at the
Company’s expense the financial reports and other information that the Managing
Member may determine are appropriate. Promptly after the end of each fiscal year
and at the expense of the Company, the Managing Member will cause the Company
Accountant to prepare and deliver to each Member a report setting forth in
sufficient detail all such information and data with respect to business
transactions effected by or involving the Company during such fiscal year as
will enable the Company and each Member to timely prepare its federal, state and
local income tax

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

returns in accordance with the laws, rules and regulations then prevailing. The
Managing Member will also cause the Company Accountant to prepare federal, state
and local tax returns required of the Company, submit those returns to the
Managing Member for its approval as early as practicable but in no event later
than ninety (90) calendar days following the end of the preceding fiscal year
and will file or cause to be filed the tax returns after they have been approved
by the Managing Member. The Managing Member shall prepare and distribute or
cause to be prepared and distributed the reports and statements described in

nationally-recognized accounting firm or any other accounting firm approved and
designated by the Managing Member. The fees and expenses of the Company
Accountant shall be a Company expense. The Company Accountant shall be Price
Waterhouse Coopers, until such time as the Managing Member shall elect to change
such Company Accountant.

8.05.        Reserves. The Managing Member may, in its discretion, subject to
such conditions as it shall determine, establish cash reserves for the purposes
and requirements as it may deem appropriate (the “Reserve Accounts”). Such
Reserve Accounts will be increased by any deposits thereto from time-to-time of
amounts of the revenues of the Company from operations, the net proceeds from
capital transactions, and contributions and other sources, before any
distributions of such amounts to the Members, as determined reasonably necessary
by the Managing Member. Once established, such Reserve Accounts may be charged
by the Managing Member with any expenditure for the operation of the Company,
whether such items are treated as current expense deductions or as capital
expenditures under GAAP.

IX.           TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

 

9.01.        No Transfer.

 

(a)           Except as expressly permitted or contemplated by this Agreement,
no Member may, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, give, hypothecate, pledge,
encumber or otherwise transfer (“Transfer”) all or any portion of its Interest
without the prior written consent of the Managing Member (which may be withheld
or granted in the sole discretion of the Managing Member).

(b)           Any Transfer in contravention of this Article IX shall be null and
void. No Member, without the prior written consent of the Managing Member, may
resign from the Company, except as a result of such Member’s involuntary
dissolution or final adjudication as bankrupt or in connection with a permitted
Transfer.

9.02.        Permitted Transfers.

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof, the Managing
Member may, from time-to-time and in its sole discretion, without the consent of
the Managing Member, transfer some or all of its Interest to any Purchaser,
without the prior written consent of the

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

Managing Member, provided such transferee agrees to be bound by all of the
terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of
this Article IX).

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 9.06 hereof, Gale may, from
time-to-time and in its sole discretion, without the consent of the Managing
Member, transfer all of his Interest to any Person which is wholly owned by
Gale, provided such transferee agrees to be bound by all of the terms,
conditions and provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of this
Article IX), and such transferee shall remain wholly owned by Gale.

9.03.        Transferees. No transferee of all or any portion of any Interest
shall be admitted as a substitute Member unless (a) such Interest is transferred
in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and (b) such
transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company such instruments as
the Managing Member 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 the terms, conditions and provisions of this
Agreement with respect to such Interest. At the request of the Managing Member,
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 Managing Member, to the effect that (i) such
transferee has the legal right, power and capacity to own the Interest proposed
to be Transferred, (ii) such Transfer does not violate any provision of any loan
commitment or agreement or any mortgage, deed of trust or other security
instrument encumbering all or any portion of any asset of the Company, and
(iii) such Transfer does not violate any federal or state security 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.        Admission of Additional Members.

 

(a)           No person may be admitted as an additional Member of the Company
(in contrast with admission as a substitute Member in connection with a
permitted Transfer) without the consent of the Managing Member (which may be
withheld or granted in the sole discretion of the Managing Member).

(b)           Any additional or substitute Member admitted to the Company shall
execute and deliver documentation in form satisfactory to the Managing Member
accepting and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement, and such other
documentation as the Managing Member shall reasonably require in order to effect
such Person’s admission as an additional Member. The admission of any Person as
an additional Member shall become effective on the date upon which the name of
such person is recorded on the books and records of the Company following the
consent of all of the Members to such admission.

9.05.        Drag-Along Rights.

 

(a)           Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, if the
Managing Member proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of (a “Sale”)
all of its Interest in the Company

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

for cash, Cash Equivalents or Readily Marketable Securities or any combination
thereof to any Purchaser, the Managing Member may, in its discretion, elect to
require Gale to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of all of Gale’s Interest in
the Company pursuant to such Sale for the same proportionate consideration and
otherwise on the same terms and conditions upon which the Managing Member
proposes to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of its Interest (the “Drag-Along
Rights”). The net consideration received in connection with such sale (which
shall be the consideration received in connection with such sale minus an amount
equal to (x) the Managing Member Preferential Return of 10% per annum,
compounded quarterly, on the Managing Member’s Capital Contributions plus the
Purchase Amount reduced by (y) the aggregate distributions to the Managing
Member pursuant to Section 6.03(a) of this Agreement (such amount, the “CLI
Shortfall”) shall be allocated between the Managing Member and Gale on the basis
and in proportion to each Member’s Payout Percentages. The CLI Shortfall shall
be retained by the Managing Member as additional consideration for the sale of
its Interest.

(b)           Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of such
Sale (the “Drag-Along Response Period”), the Managing Member shall provide Gale
with written notice of its election to exercise its Drag-Along Rights, which
notice shall include the name of the Purchaser, and the aggregate consideration
to be received by Gale for its Interest and a copy of all Sale documents (which
documents shall be on terms that are identical to the terms of the Managing
Member’s Transfer, except that Gale shall not be required to make any
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements other than its authority to
sign such documents, its title to its Interests being sold and its obligation to
Transfer its Interests). Gale must execute and deliver to the Managing Member
the documents previously furnished to Gale for execution in connection with the
Sale within the Drag-Along Response Period. Gale does hereby irrevocably
constitute and appoint the Managing Member with full power of substitution, the
true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of Gale, to execute and deliver in
Gale’s name, place and stead, all instruments, documents and certificates
previously furnished to Gale for execution in connection with the Sale,
provided, (i) Gale has not otherwise executed such documents within twenty-five
(25) days following Gale’s receipt of the Managing Member’s written notice of
its election to exercise its Drag-Along Rights, and (ii) such documents are in
conformity, in all respects, with the provisions of this Section 9.05.

(c)           In connection with any such Sale pursuant to which Gale shall be
required to participate in accordance with the Drag-Along Rights as set forth
above, the Managing Member shall, promptly after consummation of such Sale,
notify Gale to that effect, and shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen
(15) Business Days following the consummation of such Sale) cause to be remitted
to Gale the proceeds attributable to the sale of Gale’s Interest.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.05 to the contrary,
there shall be no liability on the part of Gale to the Managing Member if any
sale of Interest pursuant to this Section 9.05 is not consummated for whatever
reason other than a failure to comply with the foregoing provisions. It is
understood that the Managing Member , in its sole discretion, shall determine
whether to effect a Sale to any third party pursuant to this Section 9.05.

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

 

9.06.        Override on Permitted Transfers.

 

(a)           It is expressly understood and agreed that any Transfer permitted
pursuant to this Article IX shall in all instances be prohibited (and, if
consummated, shall be void ab initio) if such Transfer does not comply with all
applicable laws, rules and regulations and other requirements of governmental
authorities, including, without limitation, Executive Order 13224 (September 23,
2001), the rules and regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control,
Department of Treasury, and any enabling legislation or other Executive Orders
in respect thereof.

(b)           Each admitted Member shall be required to make the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 12.01(a) of this Agreement to the other
Member(s) and the Company as of the date of such Member’s admission into the
Company. Each Member shall be deemed to make the representations and warranties
set forth in Section 12.01(a)(ix)-(xii) of this Agreement to the Members and the
Company on behalf of any Person that acquires a beneficial ownership interest in
such Member as of the date of such acquisition.

(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, no Transfer of all or any part of any Interest shall be made except
in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

X.            EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

10.01.      Exculpation. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the Delaware
Act, no Member (and no general or limited partner of any Member, shareholder,
member or other holder of an equity interest in such Member or officer, director
or employee of any of the foregoing or any of their Affiliates) 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 arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the
Company’s business or affairs; provided, however, such act or omission was taken
in good faith, was reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the
Company and was within the scope of authority granted to such Person and was not
attributable in whole or in part to (a) a breach of this Agreement which has a
material adverse effect upon the value of, or causes material damage to, the
Company, (b) a knowing violation of law which has a material adverse effect upon
the value of, or causes material damage to, the Company, (c) a transaction for
which such Member received a personal benefit in violation or breach of the
provisions of this Agreement, or (d) such Member’s or Person’s fraud, bad faith,
willful misconduct or gross negligence.

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, each shareholder, member or other holder of any
equity interest in such Member or any officer, director or employee of any of
the foregoing (each an “Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities to which such Indemnified Party may become subject in connection
with any matter arising out of or incidental to any act performed or omitted to
be performed by any such Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement or
the Company’s

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

business or affairs, including any action or omission constituting a breach of
any fiduciary duties; provided, however, that such act or omission (i) was taken
in good faith, was reasonably believed by the applicable Indemnified Party to be
in the best interest of the Company and was within the scope of authority
granted to such Member or applicable Indemnified Party, (ii) was not a
transaction for which the Indemnified Party received a personal benefit in
violation or breach of the provisions of this Agreement, (iii) was not
attributable in whole or in part to such Indemnified Party’s breach of this
Agreement or a knowing violation of law, in either case which has a material
adverse effect upon the value of, or causes material damage to, the Company, or
(iv) in the case of a Member or related Indemnified Party, was not attributable
in whole or in part to such Indemnified Party’s fraud, bad faith, willful
misconduct or gross negligence. If an Indemnified Party becomes involved in any
capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any
matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s
business or affairs, the Company shall reimburse such Indemnified Party for its
reasonable legal and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including the cost
of any investigation and defense preparation) as they are incurred in connection
therewith, provided that such Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the
Company the amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it shall
ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to be
indemnified by the Company in connection with such action, proceeding or
investigation. If for any reason (other than the fraud or gross negligence,
intentional misconduct, breach of this Agreement or a knowing violation of law
by such Indemnified Party or a transaction for which such Indemnified Party
received a personal benefit in violation or breach of the provisions of this
Agreement) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such Indemnified
Party, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such
Indemnified Party on the other hand or, if such allocation is not permitted by
applicable law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but
also any other relevant equitable considerations. Any indemnity under this
Section 10.02(a) 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 the other Members, to
contribute additional capital under Article IV to enable the Company to satisfy
any obligation under this Section 10.02.

(b)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.02(a) hereof, each
Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other 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 incidental to
(i) any act performed by or on behalf of any such Member (including acts
performed as the Managing Member) which is not performed in good faith or is not
reasonably believed by such Member to be in the best interests of the Company
and within the scope of authority conferred upon such Member under this
Agreement, (ii) the fraud, bad faith, intentional or willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such Member, (iii) a breach of this Agreement or a knowing
violation of law by such Member, in either case which has a material adverse
effect upon the value of, or causes material damage to, the Company or its
assets or (iv) any transaction for which such Member received a personal benefit
in violation or breach of the provisions of this Agreement.

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

(c)           The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive for a period of
four (4) 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, an Indemnified Party may so notify the Company and the 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, and the
obligations of the Company under this Section 10.02 shall be satisfied solely
out of Company assets.

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

XI.           DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

 

11.01       Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its business wound
up upon the earliest to occur of any of the following events:

(a)           The sale or other disposition of all the assets of the Company and
the receipt of all consideration therefor;

(b)           The determination of the Managing Member to dissolve the Company
in its sole and complete discretion; or

(c)           The resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of any
Member or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued
membership of any Member in the Company, unless, within ninety (90) calendar
days after such event, the Managing Member elects in writing (i) to continue the
business of the Company, and (ii) if any such time there exists only one
(1) remaining Member, effective as of the date of such event, to admit at least
one (1) additional Member to the Company and (iii) if applicable, to appoint a
new Managing Member.

Without limiting, 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 expressly provided in this
Agreement, each Member agrees that, without the consent of the Managing Member,
no Member may withdraw from or cause a voluntary dissolution of the Company. In
the event any Member withdraws 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.

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:

liquidated by the Liquidating Member as promptly as possible, but in an orderly

in kind only with the consent of the all 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:

and (B) the expenses of liquidation.

(ii)           To the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Member
and the Managing Member 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 escrowee to be held by such bank or title company as escrowee 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 12.02(c)(iii) hereof; 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) above 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) above.

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

11.03       Liquidating Member. The Liquidating Member is hereby irrevocably

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, shall
promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents, certificates and
other instruments as the Liquidating Member shall reasonably request to
effectuate the proper

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

dissolution and termination of the Company, including the winding up of the
business of the Company.

intended or shall be deemed to benefit any creditor of the Company or any
Member, and no creditor of the Company or any Member shall be entitled to
require the Company to solicit or the Members to make any Capital Contribution
to the Company or to enforce any right which the Company or any Member may have
against any Member under this Agreement or otherwise.

12.10.      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.

12.11.      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 herein and other application thereof shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.

12.12       Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding
between the parties relating to the subject matter contained herein, and
supersedes all other prior representations, warranties, agreements,
understandings or letters of intent between or among the parties hereto,
including, without limitation, the Limited Liability Operating Company Agreement
of The Gale PFV Investor Company, L.L.C. dated “August       , 2003.” 
Amendments, variations, modifications or changes herein may be made effective
and binding upon the Members only by the setting forth of same in a document
duly executed by each Member, and any alleged amendment, variation, modification
or change herein which is not so documented shall not be effective as to any
Member.

12.13.      Publicity. The parties agree that no Member or any of its advisors
shall issue any press release or otherwise publicize or disclose the terms of
this Agreement without the consent of the Managing Member, except as such
disclosure may be made in the course of normal reporting practices by any Member
or Related Persons to its Members, shareholders or partners or as otherwise
required by law or rule of any stock exchange (and prior to any such disclosure
the disclosing Member will notify the other Member and provide it with a copy of
the proposed disclosure and an opportunity to comment thereon before the
disclosure is made).

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

12.14.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts (and by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) transmission),
each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute
but one and the same agreement.

12.15.      Confidentiality.

 

(a)           Subject to Section 12.13, the terms of this Agreement 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 that has not been publicly disclosed pursuant to
authorization of the Members (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) 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 members, shareholders, partners, directors, officers, agents, advisors and
Related Persons not to, disclose to any Person other than its attorneys,
accountants, consultants, advisors and other agents who have a need to know such
information 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 Members
and has notified each Member that it has done so; provided, however, that any
Member (or its Related Persons) may disclose such Confidential Information
(i) if required by law or rule of any stock exchange (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, and
provided that before making any disclosure of Confidential Information required
by law or rule of any stock exchange, the disclosing Member will notify the
other Member and provide it with a copy of the proposed disclosure and an
opportunity to comment thereon before the disclosure is made), (ii) in
connection with an actual or proposed Transfer of Interests permitted hereunder,
(iii) reasonably necessary in connection with any transaction authorized
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (iv) if necessary for it to perform
any of its duties or obligations hereunder.

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 12.15(a), each Member agrees
not to disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than a Person
agreeing in writing 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 protective order brought by any other
Member represented as being intended by the movant to implement the purposes of
this Section 12.15 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 notifies the other Member of the existence, terms and circumstances
of the order, consults in good faith with the other Member on the advisability
of taking legally available steps to resist or to narrow the order, and if
disclosure of the Confidential Information is required, exercises its best
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 the other Member may designate. 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 12.15 will survive the
Transfer of the Interest of any Member and the dissolution of the Company.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12.15 to the
contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent any
Member from making such disclosures as are required by applicable law,
including, without limitation, federal or state Securities Laws.

12.16.      Venue. Any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any
provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby may be brought in
any state or federal court in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and
each Member hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any court in the
State of New York (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any
suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that
any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Member hereby waives the right to
commence an action, suit or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or
based on any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby in any court outside of The City of
New York, Borough of Manhattan. Process in any suit, action or proceeding may be
served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the
jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party
agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12.03 shall
be deemed effective service of process on such party.

12.17.      Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE MEMBERS HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF MATTERS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH
WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.
