ETC.


 


1.1           Definitions.
Each of the following terms will have the meaning set forth below:


 


“Act”
means the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as it may hereafter be amended from time to time and any successor to such statute.


 


[Signature Page to LLC Agreement of Berkshire
Equity LLC]


 




     


     


    

 


“Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit” means with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s Capital Account
as of the end of the relevant Fiscal Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:


 


(a)          Credit
to such Capital Account any amounts which such Member is obligated to restore or is deemed to be obligated to restore to the Company
pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and


 


(b)          Debit
to such Capital Account the items described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5),
and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Treasury Regulations.


 


The foregoing definition
of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


“Adjustment Factor”
means 1.0; provided, however, that in the event that:


 


(a)          Clipper
(i) declares or pays a dividend on the outstanding Clipper Common Shares wholly or partly in Clipper Common Shares or makes
a distribution to all holders of the outstanding Clipper Common Shares wholly or partly in Clipper Common Shares, (ii) splits
or subdivides the outstanding Clipper Common Shares or (iii) effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines the outstanding
Clipper Common Shares into a smaller number of Clipper Common Shares, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction, (1) the numerator of which shall be the number of Clipper Common Shares
issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination (assuming
for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination has occurred as of such time)
and (2) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Clipper Common Shares (determined without the above assumption)
issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination;


 


(b)          Clipper distributes
any rights, options or warrants to all holders of Clipper Common Shares to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire
Clipper Common Shares (or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for Clipper Common Shares)
at a price per share less than the Value of a Clipper Common Share on the record date for such distribution (each a “Distributed
Right”), then, as of the distribution date of such Distributed Rights, or, if later, the time such Distributed Rights
become exercisable, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be the number of Clipper Common Shares issued and outstanding on the record date (or, if
later, the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus the maximum number of Clipper Common Shares purchasable under
such Distributed Rights and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of Clipper Common Shares issued and outstanding
on the record date (or, if later, the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable) plus a fraction (1) the numerator of
which is the maximum number of Clipper Common Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights times the minimum purchase price
per Clipper Common Share under such Distributed Rights and (2) the denominator of which is the Value of a Clipper Common Share
as of the record date (or, if later, the date such Distributed Rights become exercisable); provided, however, that if any such
Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive
to the date of distribution of the Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of Clipper Common Shares or any change
in the minimum purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction;


 




    	 	5	 



     


    

 


(c)          Clipper shall,
by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of Clipper Common Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including
securities, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above), then the Adjustment
Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to the
close of business on the date fixed for determination of stockholders of Clipper entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which shall be such Value of a Clipper Common Share on the date fixed for such determination and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be the Value of a Clipper Common Share on the dates fixed for such determination less the then fair
market value (as determined by Clipper, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness
or assets so distributed applicable to one Clipper Common Share; and


 


(d)          an entity other
than Clipper shall become the general partner of the Managing Member pursuant to any merger, consolidation or combination of Clipper
with or into another entity (the “Successor Entity”), the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying
the Adjustment Factor by the number of shares of the Successor Entity into which one Clipper Common Share is converted pursuant
to such merger, consolidation or combination, determined as of the date of such merger, consolidation or combination.


 


Any adjustments to the
Adjustment Factor shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event, retroactive to the record date, if
any, for such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Adjustment Factor shall not be adjusted in connection with an event described
in clauses (a) or (b) above if, in connection with such event, the Company makes a distribution of cash, Units, OP Units,
Clipper Common Shares and/or rights, options or warrants to acquire Units, OP Units and/or Clipper Common Shares with respect to
all applicable Units or effects a reverse split of, or otherwise combines, the Units, as applicable, that is comparable as a whole
in all material respects with such an event, or if in connection with an event described in clause (d) above, the consideration
in Section 8.2 hereof is paid. 


 


“Administrative
Expenses” means (a) all administrative and operating costs and expenses incurred by the Company, (b) all salaries
paid to officers of the Company and the Managing Member, and all accounting and legal expenses undertaken by the Company and the
Managing Member, in each case on behalf or for the benefit of the Company, (c) costs and expenses relating to the formation
and continuity of existence of the Company, including taxes, fees and assessments associated therewith, (d) costs and expenses
associated with compliance by the Company and the Managing Member (to the extent solely related to its capacity as Managing Member
of the Company) with laws, rules and regulations promulgated by any regulatory body, and (e) all other operating or administrative
costs of the Company and the Managing Member incurred in the ordinary course of its business on behalf of the Company.

(a)          Profits.
After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Exhibit A, Profits shall be allocated, (i) first, to the Managing
Member with respect to the Class A Units held by the Managing Member to the extent that Losses previously allocated to the Managing
Member pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(ii) hereof exceed Profits previously allocated to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section
5.1(a)(i); (ii) second, to the Class B Unitholders to the extent that Losses previously allocated to such Class B Unitholders pursuant
to Section 5.1(b)(i) hereof exceed Profits previously allocated to the Class B Unitholders pursuant to this Section 5.1(a)(ii);
(iii) third, to the Class B Unitholders in a manner consistent with the distributions that each such Member is entitled to receive

Member.


 


(b)          Losses.
After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Exhibit A, Losses shall be allocated, (i) first, to the Class
B Unitholders in proportion to the number of Class B Units held; provided, however, that Losses shall not be allocated to any such
Class B Unitholder pursuant to this Section 5.1(b)(i) to the extent that such allocation would cause such Class B Unitholder to
have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) and shall be allocated to
and among the Class B Unitholders without Adjusted Capital Account Deficits and (ii) thereafter, to the Managing Member with respect
to the Class A Units held by the Managing Member.


 


(c)          Allocations
for Tax Purposes. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.1, the taxable income or loss of the Company (and items thereof)
shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and separate items of

Capital Account purposes; provided, that, in the case of any Company asset the Gross Asset Value of which differs from its adjusted
tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated
solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder
(in any manner determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion that constitutes a “reasonable method,” except
as provided in the Tax Protection Agreement) so as to take account of the difference between the Gross Asset Value and the adjusted

Debt and Nonrecourse Deductions. Throughout the term of the Company,

Class B Unitholder held the same number of OP Units in the Operating Partnership as the number of Class B Units held by such Class
B Unitholder and (ii) the product of all of the Available Cash generated by the Company during the applicable Fiscal Quarter and

is the total number of outstanding Class B Units. The Managing Member will be entitled to any remaining cash flow of the Company
with respect to the Class A Units held by the Managing Member.

of the last Fiscal Quarter prior the date on which a distribution under this Section 5.2 is made (the “Record Date”)

or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the provisions

    	 	25	 



     


    

 


The Managing Member will
provide notice to the other Members whenever any action under this Section 6.4(c) is taken.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
Section 6.4(c) hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended, and no action may be taken by the Managing Member, without the consent

6.5           Reliance
by Third Parties. Any Person dealing with the Company will be entitled to assume that the Managing Member has full power and
authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use any and all assets of the Company and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the
Company, and such Person will be entitled to deal with the Managing Member as if it were the Company’s sole party in interest,
both legally and beneficially. Each Member hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such
Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Managing Member in connection with any such dealing. In no event will
any Person dealing with the Managing Member or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have
been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the Managing Member or its representatives.
Each certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company by the Managing Member will be conclusive evidence
in favor of any Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and effect of such certificate,
document or instrument, this Agreement (or prior versions thereof) was in full force and effect; (b) the Managing Member was
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver such certificate, document or instrument on behalf of the Company; and (c) such
certificate, document or instrument is binding upon the Company.


 


6.6           Title
Holder. To the extent allowable under applicable law, title to all or any part of the assets of the Company may be held in
the name of the Company or in the name of any other Person that is (a) a special purpose Entity, (b) wholly owned, directly

    	 	26	 



     


    

 


6.8           Indemnification.


 


(a)          The
Company shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law in effect from time to time, indemnify, and, without requiring
a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of
final disposition of a proceeding to each Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Company shall not indemnify an Indemnified
Party (1) for material acts or omissions that were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty,
(2) for any transaction for which such Indemnified received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services in violation
or breach of any provision of this Agreement, or (3) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnified Party had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability
of any Indemnified Party, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise (unless otherwise provided by the terms of any such guaranty
or other instrument), for any indebtedness of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (including any indebtedness which the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member is hereby authorized and empowered,
on behalf of the Company, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 6.8 in
favor of any Indemnified Party having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding
by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnified Party did not meet the requisite standard of
conduct set forth in this Section 6.8(a). The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnified Party or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent by an Indemnified Party, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnified Party
prior to judgment, does not create a presumption that such Indemnified Party acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this
Section 6.8(a) with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall be
made only out of the assets of the Company and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the Managing Member and
any Indemnified Party, and neither the Managing Member nor any Member shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of
the Company or otherwise provide funds to enable the Company to fund its obligations under this Section 6.8.


 


(b)          To
the fullest extent permitted by law, and without requiring a preliminary determination of the Indemnified Party’s ultimate
entitlement to indemnification under Section 6.8(a) above, expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party who is a party to a proceeding
or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company as incurred
by the Indemnified Party in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Company of (1) a written affirmation
by the Indemnified Party of the Indemnified Party’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification
by the Company as authorized in this Section 6.8(b) has been met and (2) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified
Party to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.


 


(c)          The
indemnification provided by this Section 6.8 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnified Party or any other
Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Members, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue
as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns
and administrators of the Indemnified Party unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Party or in
the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Party is indemnified.


 




    	 	27	 



     


    

 


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


 


(e)          In
no event may an Indemnified Party subject any of the Members to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions
set forth in this Agreement.


 


(f)          An
Indemnified Party shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.8 because the Indemnified Party
had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted
by the terms of this Agreement.


 


(g)          The
provisions of this Section 6.8 are for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators
and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this
Section 6.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the obligations of the Company or
the limitations on the Company’s liability to any Indemnified Party under this Section 6.8 as in effect immediately prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in
part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.


 


(h)          If
and to the extent any payments to the Managing Member pursuant to this Section 6.8 constitute gross income to the Managing Member
(as opposed to the repayment of advances made on behalf of the Company) such amounts shall be treated as “guaranteed payments”
for the use of capital within the meaning of Code Section 707(c), shall be treated consistently therewith by the Company and all
Members, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Members’ Capital Accounts.


 


6.9           Liability
of the Managing Member.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the maximum extent that Delaware law in effect from time to time permits,
none of the Managing Member, Clipper or any of their directors, partners or officers shall be liable or accountable in damages
or otherwise to the Company, any Members or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as
a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the Managing Member, Clipper or such director,
partner or officer acted in good faith.


 


(b)          The
Members expressly agree that if there is a conflict between the duties owed by Clipper’s directors and officers to Clipper
and its stockholders and the duties owed by Clipper, in its capacity as the general partner of the Managing Member, to the Members,
Clipper and the Managing Member may fulfill its duties to the Members by acting the best interests of Clipper’s stockholders.


 




    	 	28	 



     


    

 


(c)          Subject
to its obligations and duties as Managing Member set forth in Section 6.2 hereof, the Managing Member may exercise any of the powers
granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees
or agents (subject to the supervision and control of the Managing Member). The Managing Member shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.


 


(d)          To
the extent that, at law or in equity, the Managing Member has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto
to the Company or the Members, the Managing Member shall not be liable to the Company or to any other Member for its good faith
reliance on the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any express indemnities
given to the Company by any Member pursuant to any other written instrument, no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever,
to the Company or to the other Members, for the debts or liabilities of the Company or the Company’s obligations hereunder,
and the full recourse of the other Members shall be limited to the interest of such Members in the Company. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, no officer, director, partner or stockholder of the Managing Member or Clipper shall be liable to the Company
for money damages except for (1) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a nonappealable final judgment or (2) actual receipt
of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services.


 


Without limitation of the
foregoing, and except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any such express indemnity, no property
or assets of any Member, other than its interest in the Company, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures
for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Members and arising out of, or in connection
with, this Agreement.


 


(f)          Any
amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.9 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way
affect the limitations on the Managing Member’s, and its officers’ and directors’, liability to the Company and
the Members under this Section 6.9 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims
arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless
of when such claims may arise or be asserted.


 


6.10         Other
Matters Concerning the Managing Member.


 


(a)          The
Managing Member upon good faith may rely, and will be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties.


 


(b)          The
Managing Member may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants
and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters
that the Managing Member reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional expertise will be conclusively presumed
to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.


 




    	 	29	 



     


    

 


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


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or any decision of
the Managing Member to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission
is necessary or advisable in order to protect the ability of Clipper to continue to qualify as a REIT or the Company to be taxed
as a partnership, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Members.


 


ARTICLE
VII



DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND WINDING-UP


 


7.1           Accounting.
In the event of the dissolution, liquidation and winding-up of the Company, a proper accounting will be made of the Capital Account

Financial statements presenting such accounting will include a report of a national certified public accountant selected by the
Managing Member.


 


7.2           Distribution
on Dissolution. In the event of the liquidation and dissolution of the Company for any reason, the assets of the Company will
be distributed in the following order and priority:


 


(a)          First,
payment of creditors of the Company (other than Members) in the order of priority as provided by law;


 


(b)          Second,
establishment by the Managing Member of reasonable reserves to provide for contingent liabilities, if any, as and to the extent
required by law;

or cause its subsidiaries to sell Properties and other assets, on the best terms and conditions as the Managing Member in good
faith believes are reasonably available at the time and under the circumstances and on a non-recourse basis to the Members. The
liquidation of the Company will not be deemed completed until the Company has received cash payments in full with respect to obligations
such as notes, installment sale contracts or other similar receivables received by the Company in connection with the sale of assets

a Majority in Interest of the Members;

(other than the Managing Member) who holds Units shall receive, or shall have the right to receive without any right of consent
set forth above in this Section 8.2(b), the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such holder would have
received had it exercised the Exchange Right and received Clipper Common Shares in exchange for its Units immediately prior to
the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer.


 


8.3           Transfer
of Units Other then the Class A Units 


 


(a)          A
Member other than the Managing Member may Transfer all or any portion of its Units to any transferee without the consent of any
other Member in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article VIII. The Transferring Member shall give prior
written notice of such Transfer to the Managing Member and shall provide the Managing Member with such information related to the
Transfer and the transferee as the Managing Member may reasonably request.


 


(b)          
The transferee in such Transfer shall assume by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor
Member under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Units; provided, that no such Transfer (unless made pursuant to a
statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Member are assumed by a successor corporation
by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Member of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Managing
Member, in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Unit shall be subject
to any and all ownership limitations contained in the Charter that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise
its Exchange Rights. Any transferee shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder.


 


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


 




    	 	33	 



     


    

 


(d)          The
Managing Member may impose restrictions on the Transfer of a Unit if it receives an opinion of counsel reasonably to the effect
that such restrictions are necessary in order to comply with any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to
the Company or the Units. The Managing Member may impose such restrictions by amending this Agreement without the approval of the
Members.


 


8.4           Restrictions
on Transfer. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of a Unit by
any Member be made (i) to any Person who or which, in each case, to the knowledge of the transferring Member, lacks the legal
right, power or capacity to own a Unit, or, except with the prior written consent of the Managing Member, to a Person that is not
either (x) an “Accredited Investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated by the SEC under the Securities
Act or (y) a Person with a “Purchaser Representative” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated by the
SEC under the Securities Act; (ii) in violation of this Agreement; (iii) in violation of applicable law; (iv) of
any component portion of a Unit, such as the Capital Account separate and apart from other components of the Unit; (v) if
such Transfer would cause a termination of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes; (vi) if such Transfer would,
in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income
tax purposes; (vii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause the Company to become, with respect
to any employee benefit plan subject to Title 1 of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of
ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code), (viii) if such Transfer would,
in the opinion of counsel to the Company, cause any portion of the assets of the Company to constitute assets of any employee benefit
plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; (ix) if such Transfer may not be effected without
registration of such Units under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal, state or foreign securities laws or
regulations applicable to the Company or such Units; (x) to a lender to the Company or any Person who is related (within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Company whose loan constitutes a “nonrecourse
liability” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)) without the consent of the Managing Member,
unless the Company’s basis for tax purposes would not be reduced as a result of such Transfer; (xi) except with the
express written consent of the Managing Member, if such Transfer, in the opinion of counsel to the Managing Member, would result
in either the Company having more than one hundred Members or in the Company being classified as a “publicly traded partnership”
within the meaning of the Code and the Treasury Regulations; (xii) except with the express written consent of the Managing
Member, to any Entity that is a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation if (A) substantially all of the value of the interest
of a person owning an interest in such Entity is attributable to the Entity’s (direct or indirect) interest in a Unit, and
(B) a principal purpose of the use of the tiered arrangement is to permit the Company to satisfy the 100-person limitation
in paragraph (h)(i)(ii) of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1; (xiv) if the Managing Member determines in its
reasonable discretion that if it permitted such transfer the Company would be unable to obtain an opinion of counsel recognized
standing to the effect that the Company should not be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning
of Section 7704(b) of the Code, except with respect to (A) transfers qualifying as a “private transfer” for purposes
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.7704-1(e) or any successor provision or (B) up to two Transfers (excluding for this
purpose, transfers qualifying as “private transfers”) of interests directly or indirectly held by the estate of or
other successor to, a person that has died within the preceding 12 months, (xv) if the Transfer would violate any agreement
in existence as of the date of this Agreement, unless the transferor first receives any consents required under such agreement,
or (xvi) if the Transfer would result in the payment of a participation or transaction fee under the terms of any agreement
in existence on the date of this Agreement, unless the transferor first reimburses the Company for the amount of the fee.

GRANT OF EXCHANGE RIGHTS TO MEMBERS Holding Class B Units


 


10.1         Exchange
Right. Each Member shall have the right (the “Exchange Right”),
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any other such agreement, as applicable, to require the Managing Member
to exchange all or a portion of the Class B Units held by such Member (such Class B Units being hereafter referred to as “Tendered
Units”), together with the same number of shares of Clipper Special Stock, in exchange for the Cash Amount, unless the
terms of such Class B Units or a separate agreement entered into between the Company and the holder of such Class B Units provide
that such Class B Units are not entitled to the Exchange Right or impose conditions on the exercise of the Exchange Right. The
Member who is exercising the Exchange Right (the “Tendering Member”) shall have no right, with respect to any
Class B Units so exchanged, to receive any distributions paid on or after the Specified Exchange Date. Any Exchange Right exercise
shall be pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to the Managing Member (with a copy to Clipper) by the Tendering Member. The
Cash Amount shall be payable to the Tendering Member on the Specified Exchange Date against delivery of the Tendered Units to the
Managing Member and the same number of shares of Clipper Special Stock to Clipper.


 


10.2         Clipper’s
Option. Notwithstanding Section 10.1 above, if a Member has delivered
to the Managing Member (with a copy to Clipper) a Notice of Exchange, then Clipper may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject
to the limitations on ownership and transfer of Clipper Common Shares set forth in the Charter), elect to assume and satisfy the
Managing Member’s Exchange obligation and acquire some or all of the Tendered Units (and the same number of shares of Clipper
Special Stock) from the Tendering Member in exchange for the Clipper Common Shares Amount (as of the Specified Exchange Date) and,
if Clipper so elects, the Tendering Member shall sell the Tendered Units (and the same number of shares of Clipper Special Stock)
to Clipper in exchange for the Clipper Common Shares Amount. In such event, the Tendering Member shall have no right to cause the
Managing Member to exchange such Tendered Units for the Cash Amount. Clipper shall give such Tendering Member written notice of
its election on or before the close of business on the fifth Business Day after the receipt of the Notice of Exchange.


 


10.3         Exchange
Right. The Clipper Common Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered
as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Clipper Common Shares and, if applicable, free of any pledge,
lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the Charter or the Bylaws, the Securities Act, relevant state securities
or blue sky laws and any applicable registration rights agreement with respect to such Clipper Common Shares entered into by the
Tendering Member. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery (but subject to Section 10.5), the Tendering Member shall be deemed
the owner of such Clipper Common Shares for all purposes, including rights to vote or consent, and receive dividends, as of the
Specified Exchange Date. In addition, the Clipper Common Shares for which the Class B Units might be exchanged shall bear the legend
set forth in the Charter. 


 




    	 	36	 



     


    

 


10.4         Clipper
Common Shares. Each Member covenants and agrees with the Managing
Member and Clipper that all Tendered Units (and the same number of shares of Clipper Special Stock) shall be delivered to the Managing
Member or Clipper, as applicable, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims
and/or encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Tendered Units or shares of Clipper Special Stock, neither the Managing
Member nor Clipper shall be under any obligation to acquire the same.


 


10.5         Limitations.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 or any other
provision of this Agreement, a Member (a) shall not be entitled to effect an exchange pursuant to the Exchange Right to the
extent that, assuming Clipper makes the election described in Section 10.2, the ownership or right to acquire Clipper Common Shares
pursuant to such exchange by such Member on the Specified Exchange Date could cause such Member or any other Person to violate
the restrictions on ownership and transfer of Clipper stock set forth in the Charter, after taking into account any waiver required
to be granted by Clipper pursuant to the immediately following two sentences, and (b) shall have no rights under this Agreement
to acquire Clipper Common Shares which would otherwise be prohibited under the Charter. If a Member seeking to effect an exchange
pursuant to the Exchange Right during the first half of Clipper’s taxable year (within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of
the Code) is subject to a binding commitment to dispose, prior to the close of the first half of such taxable year, of the Clipper
Common Shares acquired pursuant to the Exchange Right, Clipper shall grant a waiver to any relevant restrictions on ownership and
transfer of Clipper Common Shares that would otherwise be violated by the exchange pursuant to the Exchange Right, subject to such
conditions or restrictions as Clipper may reasonably deem appropriate in connection with granting such waiver in order to determine
or ensure Clipper’s status as a REIT. If the conditions of the preceding sentence do not apply, a Member seeking to effect
an exchange pursuant to the Exchange Right may obtain (and Clipper shall grant) a waiver to any relevant restrictions on ownership
and transfer of Clipper Common Shares to the maximum extent possible, subject to such conditions or restrictions as Clipper may
reasonably deem appropriate in connection with granting such waiver in order to determine or ensure Clipper’s status as a
REIT. To the extent any attempted exercise of the Exchange Right would be in violation of this Section 10.5, it shall be null and
void ab initio and such Member shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the cash otherwise payable, or the Clipper
Common Shares otherwise issuable, upon such exchange.


 


10.6         Additional
Conditions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject
to Section 10.5), with respect to any exchange pursuant to the Exchange Right:(a) without the consent of the Managing Member,
each Member may not effect an exchange for less than 1,000 Class B Units or, if the Member holds less than 1,000 Class B Units,
all of the Class B Units held by such Member; (b) without the consent of the Managing Member, each Member may not effect an
exchange of Class B Units during the period after the Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established
by Clipper for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such distribution; (c) the consummation
of any exchange of Class B Units shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under
the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; and (d) each Tendering Member shall continue to own
all Class B Units subject to any exchange, and be treated as a Member with respect to such Class B Units for all purposes of this
Agreement, until such Class B Units are transferred to the Managing Member or Clipper, as applicable, and paid for or exchanged
for Clipper Common Shares on the Specified Exchange Date. Until a Specified Exchange Date, the Tendering Member shall have no rights
as a stockholder of Clipper with respect to such Tendering Member’s Class B Units.

EXHIBIT A


SPECIAL ALLOCATION RULES


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Agreement or this Exhibit A, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order:


 


(a)          Minimum
Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in
accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Fiscal Year, then items of
income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent periods) shall be allocated to the Members in the manner and to
the extent required by Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i) (subject to the exceptions to this requirement described
therein). This paragraph (a) is intended to constitute a “minimum gain chargeback” as provided by Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f) and to satisfy the “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” chargeback requirements of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and this clause shall be construed accordingly.


 


(b)          Qualified
Income Offset. If any Member receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Sections
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain (including gross income) shall be specially
allocated to each such Member in a manner and amount sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulations,
the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible.
The foregoing provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations.


 


(c)          Gross
Income Allocation. If any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, each such Member shall
be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible,
provided, that an allocation pursuant to this paragraph (c) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member
would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 5.1 and this Exhibit A
had been made as if paragraphs (c) and (d) were not included in this Agreement.


 


(d)          Nonrecourse
Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with any permissible
method determined by the Managing Member


 


(e)          Member
Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who
bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable
in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i).


 


(f)          Code
Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Section 734(b)
or 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into
account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of
gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such item of gain
or loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are
required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Treasury Regulations.
