The defaulting Member shall pay to the non-defaulting Member such reimbursement within ten (10) days of the non-defaulting Member’s written request therefor, which request shall reasonably substantiate the costs and expenses incurred.  If the defaulting Member is (i) KBS Member then KBS SOR US Properties II LLC (the “KBS Credit Party”) shall guaranty the payment of the Reimbursable Expenses incurred by JV Member, or (ii) JV Member then KEK Family Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability

company (the “JV Member Credit Party”) shall guaranty the Reimbursable Expenses incurred by KBS Member.  Except as provided in Section 1.05 above, if the Property Closing does not otherwise occur and the Purchase Deposit is returned to the Property Owner Subsidiary, then the Company shall be dissolved pursuant to Article VIII. 
3.02.    Default in Capital Commitment.  If JV Member or KBS Member (as applicable, the “Defaulting Member”) shall fail to contribute its share of any amounts required to be contributed pursuant to Section 3.01 or any approved additional capital contributions pursuant to Section 3.06 (the “Defaulted Amount”) and such failure shall continue for at least five (5) business days following notice to the Defaulting Member (provided that no notice or cure period shall apply to a Member’s failure to fund its share of the required capital to the Company for the Property Closing pursuant to the Purchase Agreement), KBS Member or JV Member, as applicable, (the “Non-Defaulting Member(s)”) may, but shall not be obligated to, contribute some or all of the Defaulted Amount as a capital contribution to the Company or as a loan to the Defaulting Member (a “Default Loan”).  If the Non-Defaulting Member elects to contribute some or all of the Defaulted Amount as a capital contribution to the Company, then the Percentage Interests of KBS Member and the JV Member shall be adjusted as follows: (a) the amount which the Non-Defaulting Member elects to contribute to fund the Defaulted Amount shall be deemed to be equal to 150% of the amount that the Non-Defaulting Member actually funds (the “Deemed Capital”); (b) the Non-Defaulting Member’s Percentage Interest shall be equal to the percentage equivalent of a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the aggregate capital contributed  by the Non-Defaulting Member, exclusive of the amount funded to replace the Defaulted Amount, plus the Deemed Capital, and the denominator of which is the total capital contributed by all Members, other than the amount contributed to replace the Defaulted Amount, plus the Deemed Capital; and (c) the Defaulting Member’s Percentage Interest shall equal 100% minus the recomputed Percentage Interest of the Non-Defaulting Member.  If the Non-Defaulting Member elects to provide the Default Loan, then it shall pay the proceeds directly to the Company.  A Default Loan shall not be considered a capital contribution by the Non-Defaulting Member and shall not increase the Capital Account balance or the Percentage Interest of the Non-Defaulting Member, but instead shall be treated as a non-recourse loan by the Non-Defaulting Member to the Defaulting Member (and a capital contribution by the Defaulting Member) and shall bear interest at the lesser of (x) the Default Loan Rate (as defined below) or (y) the maximum amount permitted by law.  To the extent not repaid directly by the Defaulting Member, a Default Loan, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be repaid out of any subsequent distributions of Net Cash or any other payment from the Company to which the Defaulting Member would otherwise be entitled (but such distributions actually paid to the lending Members shall nonetheless constitute a distribution to the Defaulting Member for purposes of this Agreement), and such payments shall be applied first to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest on each such obligation and then to the payment of the outstanding principal until the Default Loan is paid in full.  “Default Loan Rate” is defined as a cumulative annual rate equal to twenty percent (20%), compounded quarterly (pro-rated for periods of less than one year), on the daily average outstanding balance during each fiscal year of the Member’s aggregate unreturned Default Loan. 
3.03.    Member Loans.  In the event Managing Member determines, in its reasonable discretion, that funds in addition to those otherwise obtained pursuant to Section 3.01 are necessary 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	23
	 

	 
	 
	 













for the Company or any Subsidiary to meet the Annual Budget, Business Plan or required to pay Necessary Costs, then Managing Member shall deliver written notice of such actual or projected cash deficit to the Members requesting that they agree that a loan (a “Member Loan”) should be made to the Company, which notice shall specify the term and interest rate of the requested Member Loan.  Within 10 business days following the effective date of such notice, each such Member shall notify Managing Member (a) whether or not such Member agrees that Member Loan(s) to the Company should be made in the amount specified in Managing Member’s notice, and (b) whether such Member elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make such Member Loan.  If all Members (y) agree that a Member Loan in the amount specified in Managing Member’s notice should be made, and (z) elect to advance such funds by the Company, such funds shall be advanced by Members in proportion to their respective percentage set forth opposite such Member's name under the column labeled “Percentage Interest” on Exhibit A attached hereto, as such Percentage Interests may be adjusted under this Agreement (the “Percentage Interests”) (or as such Members otherwise agree).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if KBS Member elects that the Member Loan should be made but the JV Member does not, the KBS Member may elect to make the entire Member Loan or such portion as it may so elect.  Any and all advances made by any Member to the Company pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall be treated as a Member Loan with recourse only to the assets of the Company (and not to the assets of any Member), and shall bear annual interest as set forth in Managing Member’s notice.  Furthermore, the Company and the KBS Member shall structure any Member Loan from the KBS Member such that the Member Loan is, at all times, a “real estate asset” under Section 856(c) of the Code.  If, from any circumstances whatsoever, the Company ever receives as interest under a Member Loan in an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount which would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due under such Member Loan and not to the payment of interest.  Any and all Member Loans shall be due and payable from the first available funds of the Company and in any event upon the liquidation of the Company.  The repayment of any Member Loan shall be made prior to any distributions of Net Cash or other cash proceeds to the Members.  Accordingly, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles V and VIII, until any and all Member Loans are repaid in full, the Members shall draw no further distributions from the Company and all cash or property otherwise distributable with respect to the Interests of the Members shall be paid to the Member(s) making Member Loan(s) in proportion to, and as a reduction of, the outstanding balance(s) of such Member Loan(s), with such funds being applied first to reduce any interest accrued thereon, and then to reduce the principal amount thereof.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Interest” means in respect to any Member, all of such Member’s right, title and interest in and to the Net Profits, Net Losses, Net Cash, and capital of the Company, and any and all other interests therein in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Act.  As used in this Agreement, the terms “Net Profits” and “Net Losses” mean, for each fiscal year or other period, an amount equal to the Company’s taxable income or loss, as the case may be, for such year or period, determined in accordance with Code Section 703(a) (for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss and deduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Code Section 703(a)(1) shall be included in taxable income or loss); provided, however, for purposes of computing such taxable income or loss, (i) such taxable income or loss shall be adjusted by any and all adjustments required to be made in order to maintain Capital Account balances in compliance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), and (ii) any and all items of gross income or gain and/or partnership and/or partner “nonrecourse deductions” specially allocated to any Member pursuant to Section 4.02 shall not be taken into 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	24
	 

	 
	 
	 













account in calculating such taxable income or loss.  If KBS Member does not approve a Member Loan other than a Member Loan for Necessary Costs, such disapproval shall be deemed final and conclusive for all purposes.  As used in this Agreement, the term “Necessary Costs” mean amounts necessary to timely pay (i) real estate taxes, utility costs, insurance premiums, costs to comply with legal requirements as to the Property or other similar non-discretionary expenses as to the Property, and (ii) scheduled payments of debt service on Financings to the Company or the Property Owner Subsidiary (but not payments of principal due at maturity or by acceleration of any such loan or prepayments of principal  thereunder).
3.04.    Determination of IRR Returns and Equity Multiple.
(a)    IRR Return.  The IRR Return described in Section 5.01 below shall be determined based upon internal rate of return of KBS Member and JV Member.  As used in this Agreement, the term “IRR Return” means for each of KBS Member and JV Member the annual discount rate that when compounded quarterly results in a net present value equal to zero when the discount rate is applied to all capital contributions by KBS Member and all distributions made by the Company to KBS Member pursuant to this Agreement.  The IRR Return shall be calculated using the XIRR function provided in Microsoft Office Excel or any replacement software issued by Microsoft to compute internal rate of return. It is understood by the Members that the achievement of a particular IRR Return requires both a return of all capital contributions plus a cumulative return on such capital contributions at the applicable percentage IRR Return.
(b)    Equity Multiple.  The “Equity Multiple” described in Section 5.01 below shall equal all actual distributions made by the Company to KBS Member pursuant to this Agreement divided by all of KBS Member’s capital contributions to the Company.
3.05.    Capital Contributions in General.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise agreed to by all Members in writing (i) no Member may withdraw all or any portion of any contribution that such Member may have made to the capital of the Company without each other Member’s consent, (ii) no Member shall be entitled to receive interest on such Member’s contributions to the capital of the Company, and (iii) no Member shall be required or entitled to contribute additional capital to the Company
3.06.    Additional Capital Contributions. Following the contribution of all the amounts described in Section 3.01, either Member shall have the right to make a capital call by delivering written notice to the other Member under this Section 3.06 if and only if such additional capital was either (1) set forth in the approved Annual Budget or Interim Annual Budget, as applicable, (2) otherwise approved as a Major Decision pursuant to Section 2.02, (3) pay for Necessary Costs, (4) Cost Overruns (other than any Cost Overruns governed by Section 3.07(c)(iii)(1)), or (5) if such Member, in its reasonable judgement concludes that the expenditure of funds is necessary (A) to avoid imminent material damage to all or any material portion of the Property, or (B) to protect the safety of any person at the Property from imminent harm, or (C) to avoid the imminent suspension of any necessary material service in or to the Property, provided, however that the approval of the KBS Member shall be required for a capital call with respect to Subsections (3) and (5) unless the failure to undertake the action in Subsections (3) or (5) is necessary to prevent a breach under a Financing that would reasonably be expected to trigger liability under any Guaranty 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	25
	 

	 
	 
	 













(including the Completion Guaranty), provided such breach was not caused by the gross negligence, willful misconduct or acts taken in bad faith of JV Member or any of its Affiliates.  Each Member shall contribute its share of the additional capital contributions required to be contributed under this Section 3.06 (in accordance with its Percentage Interest) in cash on or before the due date specified in the written notice, which due date shall be no less than ten (10) business days from the date of this written notice.  If a Member fails to make its share of the additional capital contributions required to be contributed on or before the due date specified in Managing Member’s written notice, the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the right (but not the obligation and without waiving any remedies hereunder as a result of such failure) to receive a return of all or part of the additional Capital Contribution made by the Non-Defaulting Member, to make a Default Loan or to make a capital contribution to the Company of some or all of the Defaulted Amount pursuant to Section 3.02.
3.07.    Guaranties.
(a)    Required Guaranties; Completion Guaranty. 
(i)    Required Guaranties.  Except as set forth in Section 2.02(f) or Section 3.07(a)(ii) below, if in connection with any Financing of the Property, a lender requires a guaranty of (i) standard non-recourse carve outs, (ii) certain environmental conditions and (iii) payment obligations related to Financing other than any Completion Guaranty (defined below) (each a “Required Guaranty” and collectively, the “Required Guaranties”), such Required Guaranties shall be from the Company and/or on or more entities (individually and collectively, the “Guarantor”) that are identified in connection with the approval of the applicable Financing pursuant to Section 2.02(f).  The Guarantor shall not receive any fees or other compensation for making a Required Guaranty.  The form, amount and terms and conditions of any Required Guaranty shall be approved by the Members as part of the approval of the applicable Financing pursuant to Section 2.02(f).
(ii)    Completion Guaranties.  In the event that, at any time or from time to time, a guaranty (or letter of credit or cash collateral in lieu of a guaranty) is required in connection with the completion of the Project pursuant to the terms of any Financing approved pursuant to Section 2.02(f) (individually, a “Completion Guaranty” and collectively, the “Completion Guaranties”), and such Completion Guaranty has been approved by the Completion Guarantor and the Members in connection with the approval of the applicable Financing pursuant to Section 2.02(f), the JV Member, either directly or through an Affiliate of the JV Member (individually and collectively, the “Completion Guarantor”), shall make such Completion Guaranty.  The Completion Guarantor shall not receive any fees or other compensation for making a Completion Guaranty.  The form, amount and terms and conditions of any Completion Guaranty shall be approved by the Members as part of the approval of the applicable Financing pursuant to Section 2.02(f).
(b)    Proportionate Guaranty Obligations of the Members.  Except to the extent Section 3.07(c) provides otherwise, if a Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor shall deliver a Required Guaranty and/or a Completion Guaranty, as applicable, and if such Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor shall make, or be required to make, any payment under any such Required 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	26
	 

	 
	 
	 













Guaranty and/or such Completion Guaranty, as applicable, each Member hereby covenants and agrees to satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, its Proportionate Guaranty Obligation (as defined below) with respect to any and all of the Required Guaranties and/or Completion Guaranties, as applicable, and each Member’s payment or its Proportionate Guaranty Obligation shall be treated as an additional capital contribution to the Company by each Member for all purposes of this Agreement.  If and to the extent a Member (or its Affiliate) has failed to fully satisfy its Proportionate Guaranty Obligation within fifteen (15) days following the date such Member is notified that such Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor, as applicable has made, or is required to make, such payment under the applicable Required Guaranty and/or Completion Guaranty, the other Member may exercise its rights under Section 3.07(d) below.  “Proportionate Guaranty Obligation” means with respect to any Required Guaranty and/or Completion Guaranty which any Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor, as applicable, shall provide to a lender, the obligation of each Member pursuant to this Section 3.07(b) to make payments (to a third party lender, the Company, to any other Member or the Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor, as applicable) in an amount equal to the product of (x) the aggregate amount paid and/or due and payable under any and all such Required Guaranties and/or Completion Guaranties, as applicable multiplied by (y) the Percentage Interest of such Member.  
(c)    Exceptions to Proportionate Guaranty Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 3.07(b):
(i)    Conduct By KBS Member.  Any and all amounts paid by a Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor with respect to any Required Guaranty and/or Completion Guaranty, as applicable, as a result of any conduct or action that KBS Member (or its Affiliates) shall have taken in violation of this Agreement or which is a result of any gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of KBS Member (and/or its Affiliates) shall be funded solely by KBS Member (subject to the rights of indemnification set forth in Section 3.07(e)), JV Member (or its Affiliate) shall have no Proportionate Guaranty Obligation with respect to such payments, such amounts funded by KBS Member (or its Affiliates) shall not be considered a capital contribution by KBS Member, and KBS Member (or its Affiliate) shall reimburse the applicable Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor for such amount within thirty (30) days of written demand. If KBS Member (or its Affiliate) fails to make such payment, JV Member shall, as its sole remedy, be entitled to exercise its rights set forth in Section 3.07(d) hereof; and


(ii)     Conduct by JV Member. Any and all amounts paid by a Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor with respect to any Required Guaranty and/or Completion Guaranty, as applicable, as a result of any conduct or action that the JV Member (or its Affiliates) shall have taken in violation of this Agreement or which is a result of any gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct of JV Member (or its Affiliates) shall be funded solely by the JV Member (subject to the rights of indemnification set forth in Section 3.07(e)), KBS Member (or its Affiliate) shall have no Proportionate Guaranty Obligation with respect to such payments, such amounts funded by the JV Member (or its Affiliates) shall not be considered a capital contribution by the JV Member, the JV Member (or its Affiliate) shall reimburse the Guarantor and/or Completion Guarantor, as applicable, for such amount within thirty (30) days of written demand. If the JV Member (or its 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	27
	 

	 
	 
	 













Affiliate) fails to make such payment, KBS Member shall, as its sole remedy, be entitled to exercise its rights set forth in Section 3.07(d) hereof.


(iii)    Cost Overruns Renovation.  At such times as either Member determines that the Renovation reasonably requires additional funds to cover costs and expenses in excess of the amounts for either hard costs or soft costs included in the approved Renovation Budget (each, a “Cost Overrun”), after application of all available contingencies, and taking into account all actual cost savings for completed work (so long as such savings or contingency application is permitted under the Mortgage Loan), the following shall apply:


(1)    Each Cost Overrun that would constitute a breach by Managing Member under this Agreement or a breach by Property Manager under the Management Agreement shall be paid solely by JV Member and such amounts shall not be considered as capital contributions to the Company.


(2)     If the applicable Cost Overrun is not governed by Section 3.07(c)(iii)(1) above, the amount of the Cost Overrun shall be provided to the Company in cash pro rata by the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests as Capital Contributions to the Company, and Managing Member shall have the right to make a capital call to call such amounts pursuant to Section 3.06. 


(d)    Failure to Pay Portion of Guaranty Payment by a Member.   If any Member fails to pay (A) its Proportionate Guaranty Obligation in accordance with Section 3.07(b) or (B) the amounts such Member is required to pay under Section 3.07(c)(iii)(2), as applicable, the non-defaulting Member affiliated with such guarantor may elect to either (X) contribute some or all of the amount incurred by the applicable Guarantor or Completion Guarantor, as applicable, that should have been repaid by the defaulting Member as a capital contribution to the Company (so the Company can reimburse the Guarantor or Completion Guarantor, as applicable), then, in accordance with Section 3.02, the Percentage Interests of the Members shall be adjusted as if the non-defaulting Member contributed 150% of the amount of capital actually contributed by the non-defaulting Member, or (Y) treat such amount incurred by the applicable Guarantor or Completion Guarantor, as applicable that should have been repaid by the defaulting Member as a Default Loan made to the defaulting Member.  If KBS Member is the defaulting Member under Sections 3.07(b) or (c)(iii)(2), then the KBS Credit Party shall guaranty KBS Member’s payment obligations under these sections.  If the JV Member is the defaulting Member under Sections 3.07(b) or (c)(iii)(2), then the JV Member Credit Party shall guaranty JV Member’s payment obligations under these sections.
(e)    Indemnification.  The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Guarantor and Completion Guarantor, as applicable, for any and all losses suffered under any Required Guaranty or Construction Guaranty, as applicable, provided that no such indemnification shall be made (and a Guarantor or Completion Guarantor, as applicable, shall reimburse any funds advanced to them in connection with a defense of a claim and indemnify the Company and the other Member) to the extent a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Member affiliated with such Guarantor is solely liable for the losses suffered under any Required Guaranty or Construction Guaranty, as applicable, pursuant to Section 3.07(c). The KBS Credit Party shall guaranty KBS 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	28
	 

	 
	 
	 













Member’s indemnification obligations under this Section 3.07(e).  The JV Member Credit Party shall guaranty JV Member’s indemnification obligations under this Section 3.07(e).

The KBS Credit Party shall guaranty KBS Member’s indemnification obligations under this Section 3.07(f).
ARTICLE IV
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
4.01.    In General.
(a)    Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated among the Members in such a manner so as, to the maximum extent possible, to make each Member’s Capital Account as of the close of each year (increased by the Member’s share of “partnership minimum gain” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(2) and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5)) equal the amount that the Member would receive if, as of the close of such year, all the assets of the Company were sold for their Deemed Book Values (as determined immediately before such deemed sale), the proceeds were applied to pay all Company liabilities and the remaining net proceeds were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 5.01 or 5.02, as then applicable at the time of such allocations. As used in this Agreement, the term “Deemed Book Value” means the book value of the Company’s assets as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) (i.e., the adjusted tax basis of such assets unless the asset was contributed to the capital of the Company or there has been a revaluation of book value under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and in such latter case the fair market value of such assets on the revaluation date).
(b)    The Company shall maintain “Capital Accounts” for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).  The Company shall make all adjustments required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), including the 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	29
	 

	 
	 
	 













adjustments contained in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), relating to Section 704(c) property as set forth in Section 4.03, below.
4.02.     Special Allocations.
(a)    Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in partnership minimum gain for a Company taxable year, each Member shall be allocated, before any other allocation of Company items for the taxable year, items of gross income and gain for the year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of, the amount of the Member’s share of the net decrease in minimum gain during the year as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f).  The income allocated under this Section 4.02(a) in any taxable year shall consist first of gains recognized from the disposition of property subject to one or more nonrecourse liabilities of the Company, and any remainder shall consist of a pro rata portion of other items of income or gain of the Company.  The allocation otherwise required by this Section 4.02(a) shall not apply to a Member to the extent not required, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(2) through (5).
(b)    Qualified Income Offset.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to the Member, items of Company gross income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.
(c)    Gross Income Allocation.  If at the end of any Company taxable year, a Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, the Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income or gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.
(d)    Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any “nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.
(e)    Partner Nonrecourse Debt.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) shall be allocated to those Members that bear the economic risk of loss for the applicable partner nonrecourse debt, and among those Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share the economic risk, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).  If there is a net decrease for a Company taxable year in any partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, each Member with a share of such partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain as of the beginning of such year shall be allocated items of gross income and gain in the manner and to the extent provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
(f)    Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.  As used in this Agreement, “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in the Member’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant taxable year, after giving effect to the 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10
	30
	 

	 
	 
	 













following adjustments:  (i) crediting thereto (A) the amount of the Member’s shares of partnership minimum gain and partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain, and (B) the amount of Company liabilities allocated to the Member under Section 752 of the Code with respect to which the Member bears the economic risk of loss (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2(a)), to the extent such liabilities do not constitute partner nonrecourse debt under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-2 and (ii) reduced by all reasonably expected adjustments, allocations and distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).
(g)    Interpretation.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 4.02 are intended to comply with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 and shall be interpreted consistently with this intention.  Any terms used in such provisions that are not specifically defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning, if any, given such terms in the Regulations cited above.
4.03.    Differing Tax Basis; Tax Allocation.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.03, items of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company to be allocated for income tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members on the same basis as the corresponding book items are allocated under Sections 4.01 and 4.02.
(b)    Depreciation and/or cost recovery deductions and gain or loss with respect to each item of property treated as contributed to the capital of the Company or revalued under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) shall be allocated among the Members for federal income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and for state income tax purposes in accordance with comparable provisions of the applicable law in the state in which the property is located and the regulations promulgated thereunder, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property and its book value (as determined for purposes of the maintenance of Capital Accounts in accordance with this Agreement and Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)).  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Code” means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as heretofore and hereafter amended form time to time (and/or any corresponding provision of any superseding revenue laws).
ARTICLE V

the Offering Member shall provide written notice (a “Sale Notice”) to the other Member (the “Purchasing Member”) of its intent to solicit offers for the Project.  The Sale Notice shall set forth the proposed sales price of the Project (the “Proposed Project Value”).  For forty-five (45) days following receipt of a Sale Notice, the Purchasing Member may elect to buy  the Offering Member’ Interest in the Company (a “Purchase Election”) in lieu of having the Project sold.  If a Purchase Election is timely made, the purchase price for the Offering Member’s Interest shall be the amount the Offering Member would receive if the Project were to be sold for the Proposed Project Value and the proceeds distributed upon a liquidation of the Company had the Project been sold for the Proposed Project Value as provided in this Agreement.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Offering Member’s Interest in the Company shall take place on a date agreed upon by the Members, which date may not be later than sixty (60) days following the date of the Purchase Election (the “Purchase Closing Date”).  To be effective, the Purchase Election must be accompanied by (a) a non-refundable (but applicable to the purchase price) cash deposit (the “Member Deposit”) to an escrow agent appointed by the Offering Member equal to five percent (5%) of the Proposed Project Value, and (b) a draft sales agreement (“Member Purchase Agreement”) to be executed by the Offering Member and the Purchasing Member containing such terms to which such parties may agree that are consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.01 and that provides for the transfer of the Offering Member's Interest in the Company to such Purchasing Member free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and similar claims.

In the event the Offering Member is unable to close the sale of the Project within two hundred forty (240) days after the expiration of the Purchase Election, then the Offering Member’s right to sell the Project 


	
			
	SMRH:479102057.10

shall expire and any future sale shall be subject to the terms of Section 7.01(a).  JV Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints KBS Member as its agent and attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing and delivering any documents required to be executed and delivered by Managing Member (in its capacity as a member in the Company and, so long as it is the Managing Member, as the Managing Member of the Company) pursuant to this Section 7.01 in the event Managing Member fails or refuses to execute the same upon the request of KBS Member.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and provided that a Purchase Default Event has not occurred, if as a result of the Offering Member’s marketing efforts, the Offering Member receives a bona fide offer from a third party purchaser and desires to sell the Project in a sale that will result in a purchase price that is less than ninety five percent (95%) of the Proposed Project Value, the Offering Member shall deliver a revised Sale Notice to the Purchasing Member, which shall set forth the new proposed sales price for the Project, and the Purchasing Member shall have twenty (20) business days following receipt of the revised Sale Notice to make a Purchase Election in the manner described in Section 7.01(a) above in lieu of having the Project sold.  If a Purchase Election with respect to the revised Sale Notice is not timely made, the Offering Member shall have the right to cause the Company and its Subsidiary to sell the Project pursuant to Section 7.01(b).

ARTICLE VIII 
INSURANCE


8.01.    Owner’s Insurance. The Owner hereby agrees to maintain at all times the following coverages:
 
(a)  Commercial General Liability Insurance.  Commercial general liability insurance, including coverage for premises-operations, products-completed operations, independent contracts, blanket contractual liability, personal injury and broad form property damage, and including cross liability and severability of interests with the minimum limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, $1,000,000 personal and advertising injury, and $2,000,000 products-completed operations aggregate.  Such policy shall include “your real estate manager” within the definition of “Insured”.  Coverage for additional insureds shall apply as primary and non-contributing insurance before any other insurance or self insurance, including any deductible, maintained by or provided to the additional insureds.  If coverage for Manager is not available on the Owner’s Commercial Liability Policy, then Manager shall obtain such coverage under its own name. 


(b)  Umbrella Insurance.  Excess/umbrella liability insurance on a follow form basis with a limit of $10,000,000.
(c)  Property Insurance.  Owner shall cause to be placed and kept in force fire and extended coverage insurance and such other property and casualty insurance as Owner may elect, at Owner’s expense. 


Prior to the commencement of work under this Agreement, the Owner shall provide a current and original certificate of insurance providing evidence of the aforementioned insurance requirements.  Said certificate shall show the Manager as “additional insured” on the Commercial General Liability policy or in its policy definitions, and not merely a certificate holder.  In the “Cancellation” provision of the certificate it shall read as follows: “Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof to certificate holder named in the certificate”.  It is agreed by all parties that no work shall commence under the terms of this Agreement until said certificate of insurance is received and approved by the Manager.  No later than the renewal date 




18
	
			
	SMRH:479313063.2
	 
	 













of any insurance policies required by this Agreement, the Owner will supply the Manager with a current certificate of insurance in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.


8.02.    Manager’s Insurance.  During the Term of this Agreement, subject to certain coverages being provided by a sub-manager, if a sub-manager is responsible for day to day management of the Project, Manager, at Manager’s expense, shall carry and maintain insurance for the benefit of Manager (with blanket contractual liability coverage) on an “occurrence” basis, naming Owner as an additional insured (the “Manager’s Liability Insurance”), with limits of not less than the following:


(a)    employers’ liability insurance, $500,000 each accident for bodily injury by accident, $500,000 each employee for bodily injury by disease, and $500,000 policy limit for bodily injury by disease, or such other amount as may be required by umbrella policy to effect umbrella coverage;
(b)    commercial automobile liability insurance, including coverage for owned, non-owned, leased and hired autos in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 combined single limits for bodily injury and property damage;
(c)    comprehensive crime insurance in an amount of not less than $1,000,000, including third-party crime coverage naming Owner as a loss payee;
(d)    errors and omissions insurance of not less than $1,000,000 or such other minimum amount, if higher, as may be required by applicable law, including the Owner as a named insured; and 
(e)    worker’s compensation insurance in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations covering all Project Employees of Manager.  
Owner shall pay Manager for the pro rata expense of worker’s compensation insurance on the basis of Manager’s (or, if applicable, the sub-manager’s) current worker’s compensation rates, the payroll of the Project and Manager’s (or, if applicable, the sub-manager’s) current premium discounts.  Owner’s reimbursement obligation shall extend to any increase to expense derived from subsequent audits, and if any subsequent audit results in an increase in the workers’ compensation costs, Owner shall pay Manager an amount equal to the increased amount.


At the start of each Fiscal Year following the current Fiscal Year, Manager shall provide to Owner a written certificate from the carrier reflecting that Manager’s Liability Insurance is effective in accordance with this Section 8.02.  The insurance carriers providing the coverages outlined above must be financially sound and acceptable to Owner.  


8.03.    Handling Claims.  Manager shall report to Owner, as soon as practicable after Manager becomes aware of the same, all accidents occurring on or about the Project and any damage or destruction to the Project coming to the attention of Manager.  Manager will promptly notify Owner and the appropriate insurance carrier(s) of any incidents which Manager believes could likely give rise to a claim under any of the insurance policies carried by either the Owner or the Operator.  Manager shall facilitate the processing and/or settlement of claims against Owner’s insurers. 




19
	
			
	SMRH:479313063.2
	 
	 















8.04    Mutual Waiver of Subrogation.  Each of Owner and Manager shall waive all rights of subrogation under their insurance policies referred to in this Section 8 and such waiver of subrogation will not affect the effective of coverage of such policies and each of Owner and Manager will obtain an endorsement, if necessary to confirm that the waiver of subrogation herein granted will in no manner affect the coverage of such policies.

22
	
			
	SMRH:479313063.2
	 
	 













made by one party to the other party, or by mutual written election of both parties (in either case, a “Reference Notice”).  The reference proceeding shall be conducted in the county in which the Project is located, and Owner and Manager waive their rights to initiate any legal proceedings against each other in any court or jurisdiction other than Superior Court of the State of California in and for the County in which the Project is located (the “Court”).

The referee shall not have any power to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement nor grant any remedy which is either prohibited by the terms of this Agreement, or not available in a court of law or equity 


9.14    Authority, Good Standing, and Conflicts.

Such rights shall be exercisable by the KBS Member in the same manner and to the same extent that such rights could otherwise be exercised or enforced by the Owner, provided, however that KBS Member acknowledges and agrees that its rights pursuant to this Section 9.16 shall be subject to and limited by any rights of MWEST Member in its capacity as the Managing Member under the Venture’s Operating Agreement.  It is the intention of KBS Member, Owner, Manager and MWEST Member that such rights constitute substantial direct participation and management rights with respect to the property governed by this Agreement and that such rights shall be independently enforceable by KBS Member, consistent with its status as a “real estate operating company” as defined in regulation issued by the U.S. Department of Labor under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Owner is the owner of the building known as Lofts at Noho Commons, located at 11136 Chandler Blvd., North Hollywood, California (the "Property"). Owner wishes to engage Asset Manager to perform certain services with respect to the management and development of the Property, and Asset Manager has agreed to perform such services in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Asset Manager shall make available to Owner the full benefit of the judgment, experience and advice of Asset Manager's senior management team in performing the services called for hereunder.

solely as provided in this Agreement and the written agreement between Owner and the Property Manager. 
3.Property Manager.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but without intending to limit the nature and scope of the services to be provided by Asset Manager under this Agreement, it is agreed and understood that Owner shall engage the services of (a) a property management company (the "Property Manager") pursuant to a property management agreement and (b) one or more leasing agents, pursuant to one or more leasing brokerage agreements, and if Owner shall determine in its sole discretion, Owner may retain or cause to be retained one or more professional consultants to perform significant services on behalf of the Property, including, without limitation, environmental consultants, engineers, construction contractors, SOC 1 consultants, accountants, architects, tax certiorari counsel, leasing counsel and insurance agents.

6.Insufficient Income.
If at any time the cash in the operating account of Owner is not sufficient to pay expenses and fees incurred with respect to the Property, Asset Manager shall notify Owner immediately of such condition or the potential of such condition and Owner may, at its option, provide sufficient monies to eliminate such cash shortage.

10.    Integration; Modification; Waiver.
This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede and integrate for all purposes any and all other agreements and understandings, oral and written, between the parties (or their agents or representatives on their behalf) with respect to the subject matter hereof, except in the case of any prior or contemporaneous written agreement which expressly provides that it shall survive the execution of this Agreement.  This Agreement may not be changed or modified orally but only by written instrument signed by duly authorized officers or representatives of the parties hereto. No failure of either party to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no waiver or partial exercise of any right in any one instance shall prevent the further partial or full exercise of such right in future instances.
11.    Assignment.
Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and/or duties of either party hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of Owner, which consent may be withheld by Owner in its sole and absolute discretion.
12.    Counterparts.
To facilitate execution, this Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signatures of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart; but it shall be sufficient that the signatures of, or on behalf of each party, or that the signatures of the persons required to bind any party, appear on one or more of the counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than a number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto.
13.    Severability.
If any term or provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions of this Agreement or the applications thereof which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the

parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Agreement are and shall be severable. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall not thereby be terminated, but the parties shall promptly negotiate a replacement provision or provisions designed to remove the terms which caused the original provisions to be unenforceable or void and, insofar as is lawful and commercially reasonable, to achieve their original purposes.
14.        Binding Effect.
Subject to Section 11 of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns.
