(a) Expenses incurred by a person who is an officer of the Company (including the heirs, executors, administrators or estate of such person), is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding, as authorized by the Board of Directors in its discretion, upon receipt of an agreement or an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay such amount, unless it is ultimately determined that he or she is entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized in, or as permitted by, this Article 5. If such a person or entity requests reimbursement of expenses pursuant to the foregoing, then the Board of Directors shall consider such request, and if the Board of Directors concludes that it is reasonably probable that such person or entity would be entitled to indemnification or if the Board of Directors concludes the interests of the Company would be served thereby, then the Board of Directors shall direct the payment of the expenses subject to the receipt of an agreement or undertaking as required by the foregoing.

Each Members liability shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement, the Delaware Act and other applicable law. No Member will have any personal liability for any debts or losses of the Company, except as provided by law or pursuant to a separate agreement signed by such Member. None of the Members nor any of their respective employees, agents or other representatives shall be responsible to the Company or to any other Member for any loss, liability, damage, claim, judgment, cost, obligation or expense sustained, incurred or resulting directly or indirectly from the acts or omissions of the Member or any other Member to the extent that the Member, any other Member or any of their respective employees, agents or other representatives reasonably and in good faith believed such act or omission to be within the express or implied scope of the authority and responsibility vested in the Member and the Members, respectively, pursuant to this Agreement.  6.3 List of Members.  Upon written request of any Member, the Company shall provide a list showing the names, addresses and Membership Interest of all Members, and the other information required by the Delaware Act and maintained pursuant to Section 11.2(a).  6.4 Priority and Return of Capital.

The provisions of this Section 6.6, however, shall not relieve the Member of its obligation as a Member to share  23      in the losses, costs and expenses of the Company, and shall not apply to any guaranty or indemnity executed by such Member in connection with the Contemplated New Debt.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMPANY AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS  7.1 Capital Contributions. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Members have made Capital Contributions of cash and real, personal and intangible property in the amounts set forth herein.  The Members hereby acknowledge and agree that for all purposes of this Agreement, upon the contribution of one hundred percent (100%) of Westerns equity ownership interest in the Existing Portfolio SPEs to the Company and $19,264,000, Western shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to $192,264,000.00. (b) The Members hereby acknowledge and agree that Inland Member has made a Capital Contribution to the Company in the amount of $50,000,000.00. (c) If the Manager or any Member determines at any time or from time to time that the operating cash flow of the Company together with Reserves is insufficient adequately to (w) protect, preserve and/or maintain any Existing Portfolio Project or the Companys interest therein, (x) fund expenditures provided for in any current Annual Budget approved by the Board of Directors, (y) remain in compliance with the terms of any documents evidencing or securing existing debt of the Company or any Company Entity, any existing leases with respect to any Existing Portfolio Project, or any other material contracts binding upon the Company or any Company Entity, or (z) fulfill the working capital needs of the Company or any Company Entity, then, subject to the limitations set forth herein, any Member, subject to the Board of Directors approval, may request, in writing, that the Members make the necessary additional Capital Contributions (an Additional Capital Contribution) to the Company by giving written notice (a Capital Call) to the Members setting forth (i) the total amount of Additional Capital Contributions required, (ii) the reason the Additional Capital Contribution is required pursuant to this Section 7.1(c), (iii) each Members proportionate share of the total Additional Capital Contribution (determined in accordance with this Section 7.1(c)), and (iv) the date each Members Additional Capital Contribution is due and payable, which date shall be no sooner than thirty (30) days after the notice has been given.  Either Member may, but shall have no obligation to, make an Additional Capital Contribution.  As used herein, funds which are required by the Company pursuant to this Section 7.1(c) shall also be referred to as a Section 7.1 Amount. A Members proportionate share of any Additional Capital Contribution shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Members Percentage Interest by the total Additional Capital Contribution so required (for each Member, such Members Proportionate Share). A Members Proportionate Share shall be payable to the Company in immediately available funds. Any Additional Capital Contribution made by the Members shall constitute Project Equity. (d) If a Member fails to timely fund its Proportionate Share (any such Member, a Non-Funding Member), then the other Member (the Funding Member), at its election,  24      may contribute to the Company the Non-Funding Members Proportionate Share (or, as applicable, the un-funded portion thereof) as an Additional Capital Contribution. If the Funding Member elects to contribute the Non-Funding Members Proportionate Share (or, as applicable, the un-funded portion thereof) as an Additional Capital Contribution on account of the Non-Funding Members failure to fully fund its Proportionate Share, the Non-Funding Members Percentage Interest shall be reduced (and the Funding Members Percentage Interest shall be increased) by an amount (the Reduction Percentage) equal to the product of (x) the Non-Funding Members then current Percentage Interest multiplied by (y) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the product (expressed in dollars), of the portion of the Non-Funding Members Proportionate Share that the Non-Funding Member failed to contribute to the Company, multiplied by 1.0, by (B) the aggregate amount of Capital Contributions made to the Company by the Members as of the date of the calculation.  For illustration purposes only, an example of the foregoing calculations is set forth on Exhibit J attached hereto. (e) Notwithstanding anything in Section 7.1(d) above, in no event shall Inland Members Percentage Interest be reduced below ten percent (10%).  7.2 Withdrawal of Members Contributions to Capital.  Except as provided in this Agreement, no Member may withdraw capital from the Company without the consent of the other Members. No Member shall be entitled to interest on its contributions of capital to the Company. The Members agree that no Member shall be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions of any other Member, if and to the extent that any return is required; and any such return shall be made solely from the assets of the Company, if any.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the closing of the Contemplated New Debt and the payment of all sums due in connection with such closing, the Company shall return to Western a portion of Westerns Initial Capital Contribution equal to Fifty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00).  7.3 Capital Accounts. (a) A separate Capital Account shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the rules set forth in Section 1.704-1(b) of the Regulations. Subject to the foregoing, generally the Capital Account of each Member shall be credited with the sum of (i) all cash and the fair market value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by the Company and liabilities to which such property is subject) contributed to the Company by such Member as provided in this Agreement, and (ii) all Net Profits, gains and other items of income of the Company allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 8 hereof, and shall be debited with the sum of (x) all Net Losses, items of deduction or loss of the Company allocated to such Member pursuant to Article 8 hereof, (y) such Members distributive share of expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, and (z) all cash and the fair market value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Member and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Company to such Member pursuant to Article 9 hereof. Any references in any Section or subsection of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above and as otherwise required by Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. (b) The following additional rules shall apply in maintaining Capital Accounts:  25      (i) Amounts described in Section 709 of the Code (other than amounts with respect to which an election is in effect under Section 709(b) of the Code) shall be treated as described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code. (ii) In the case of a contribution to the Company of a promissory note (other than a note that is readily tradable on an established securities market), the Capital Account of the Member contributing such note shall not be increased until (a) the Company makes a taxable disposition of such note, or (b) principal payments are made on such note. (iii) If property is contributed to the Company, Capital Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(d) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). (iv) If, in any Fiscal Year of the Company, the Company has in effect an election under Section 754 of the Code, or the bases of Company assets are otherwise adjusted pursuant to Sections 734 or 743 of the Code,  Capital Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m). (c) It is the intention of the Members to satisfy the capital account maintenance requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv), and the foregoing provisions defining Capital Accounts are intended to comply with such provisions. If the Board of Directors determines that adjustments to Capital Accounts are necessary to comply with such Regulations, then the adjustments shall be made provided it does not materially impact upon the manner in which property is distributed to the Members in liquidation of the Company. (d) Except as may otherwise be provided in this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the Capital Account of a Member, the Capital Account of such Member shall be determined after giving effect to all allocations and distributions for transactions effected prior to the time as of which such determination is to be made. Any Member, including any substitute Member, who shall acquire an interest or whose interest shall be increased by means of a transfer to it of all or part of the interest of another Member, shall have a Capital Account which reflects such transfer.  ARTICLE 8
ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES  8.1 Definitions Related to Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses.  For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below: Net Profits and Net Losses means, for each Fiscal Year or other period, an amount equal to the Companys taxable income or loss, respectively, for such year or period, determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code (and for this purpose, all items of income, gain, loss, or reduction required to be stated separately pursuant to Section 703(a)(1) of the Code shall be included in taxable income or loss), with the following adjustments:  26      (i) Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be added to such taxable income or loss; (ii) Any expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code or treated as 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(i), and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss; (iii) In the event the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted in compliance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such asset for purposes of computing Net Profits or Net Losses; (iv) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of the property disposed of notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of such property differs from its Book Value; (v) In lieu of the depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions taken into account in computing such taxable income or loss, whenever the Book Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of a Fiscal Year, depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions allowable with respect to an asset shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Book Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction for such year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis; provided, however, that if the adjusted basis for federal income taxes of an asset at the beginning of a year is zero, depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions shall be determined by reference to the beginning Book Value of such asset using any reasonable method selected by the Manager; and (vi) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8, any items which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 8.6 shall not be taken into account in computing Net Profits or Net Losses. Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Sections 1.704-2(b)(1) and 1.704-2(c) of the Regulations. Subject to the preceding sentence, the amount of Nonrecourse Deductions for a Fiscal Year equals the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Company Minimum Gain during that Fiscal Year (determined under Section 1.704-2(d) of the Regulations) over the aggregate amount of any distributions during that Fiscal Year of proceeds of a Nonrecourse Liability that are allocable to an increase in Company Minimum Gain (determined under Section 1.704-2(h) of the Regulations). Nonrecourse Liability has the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(b)(3) of the Regulations.  27      Member Minimum Gain means an amount, with respect to each Member Nonrecourse Debt, equal to the Company Minimum Gain that would result if such Member Nonrecourse Debt were treated as a Nonrecourse Liability. Member Nonrecourse Debt has the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Regulations. Member Nonrecourse Deductions has the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations. Subject to the foregoing, the amount of Member Nonrecourse Deductions with respect to a Member Nonrecourse Debt for a Fiscal Year equals the excess, if any, of the net increase, if any, in the amount of Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt during that Fiscal Year over the aggregate amount of any distribution during that Fiscal Year to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss for such Member Nonrecourse Debt to the extent such distributions are from the proceeds of such Member Nonrecourse Debt and are allocable to an increase in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations. Company Minimum Gain has the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(d) of the Regulations. Subject to the foregoing, Company Minimum Gain shall equal the amount of gain, if any, which would be recognized by the Company with respect to each nonrecourse liability of the Company if the Company were to transfer the Companys property which is subject to such nonrecourse liability in full satisfaction thereof.  8.2 Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses. (a) Net Losses.  Subject to, and after giving effect to, the special allocations described in Section 8.6, Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or other allocation period shall be allocated to the Members so as to reduce, proportionally and to the extent possible, the difference between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year or period.  No portion of the Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or other allocation period shall be allocated to a Member whose Target Capital Account is greater than or equal to his Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such Fiscal Year or period. (b) Net Profits.  Subject to, and after giving effect to, the special allocations described in Section 8.6, Net Profits for any Fiscal Year or other allocation period shall be allocated to the Members so as to reduce, proportionally and to the extent possible, the difference between their respective Target Capital Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such Fiscal Year or period.  No portion of the Net Profits for any Fiscal Year or other allocation period shall be allocated to a Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than or equal to his Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year or period.  8.3 Proration of Items.  Except to the extent otherwise required by applicable law, in applying Sections 8.2, 8.4 and 8.6 of this Agreement, to the extent possible, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same proportions as each other such item.   28      8.4 Limitation on Loss Allocations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) No loss or item of deduction shall be allocated to a Member if such allocation would cause the Capital Account of such Member to have a deficit in excess of the sum of (i) the amount of additional capital such Member would be required to contribute to the Company if the Company were to dissolve on the last day of the accounting period to which such allocation relates plus, (ii) such Members distributive share of Company Minimum Gain as of the last day of such accounting period, determined pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(1), plus (iii) such Members share of Member Minimum Gain as of the last day of such year, determined pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5). Any amounts not allocated to a Member pursuant to the limitations set forth in this paragraph shall be allocated to the other Members to the extent possible without violating the limitations set forth in this paragraph. (b) For purposes of the preceding paragraph, the balance of a Members Capital Account shall be determined after reducing such Capital Account by (i) all anticipated allocations of loss or deduction pursuant to Sections 704(e)(2) and 706(d) of the Code, and Section 1.751-1(b)(2)(ii) of the Treasury Regulations, and (ii) anticipated distributions to such Member to the extent such anticipated distributions exceed anticipated increases to such Members Capital Account during or prior to the year of distribution (other than increases which may not be taken into account pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) of the Regulations).  8.5 Intentions and Construction of Allocations.  The allocation of Net Profits, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction pursuant to this Article 8 are intended to have substantial economic effect within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2) or be in accordance with the Members interests in the Company within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3), and shall be interpreted in accordance with such intent.  If the Board of Directors subsequently determines that the allocations pursuant to this Article 8 neither have substantial economic effect nor are in accordance with the Members interests in the Company, or that the amount of Net Losses or Net Profits makes it impossible to observe the limitations in the last sentences of Sections 8.2(a) or 8.2(b), the Company may (with the approval of the Board of Directors): (a) allocate the income, gain, loss, and deduction of the Company so that such allocations have substantial economic effect or are in accordance with the Members interests in the Company; or (b) make such other modifications to this Agreement in order to cause such allocations to have substantial economic effect or be in accordance with the Members interests in the Company, provided such modifications do not adversely affect the economic rights of any Member under this Agreement.  8.6 Special Allocations.  The following special allocations shall be made in the following order: (a) Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, in the event there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, each Member shall be allocated (before any other allocation is made pursuant to this Article 8) items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to that Members share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain.  29      (i) The determination of a Members share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(g). (ii) The items to be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with this Section 8.6(a) shall be determined in accordance with Regulation Section l.704-2(f)(6). (iii) This Section 8.6(a) is intended to comply with the Minimum Gain chargeback requirement set forth in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (b) Member Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), in the event there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during a Company taxable year, each Member who has a share of that Member Minimum Gain as of the beginning of the year, to the extent required by Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) equal to that Members share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall be made in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). This subsection 8.6(b) is intended to comply with the requirement set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (c) Qualified Income Offset Allocation.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5), or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) which would cause the negative balance in such Members Capital Account to exceed the sum of (i) its obligation to restore a Capital Account deficit upon liquidation of the Company, plus (ii) his share of Company Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)(1), plus (iii) such Members share of Member Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such excess negative balance in such Members Capital Account as quickly as possible. This Section 8.6(c) is intended to comply with the alternative test for economic effect set forth in Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (d) Gross Income Allocation.  In the event any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Fiscal Year which is in excess of the sum of (i) any amounts such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement, plus (ii) such Members distributive share of Company Minimum Gain as of such date, plus (iii) such Members share of Member Minimum Gain determined pursuant to Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 8.6(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 8 have been made, except assuming that Section 8.5(c), and this Section 8.5(d) were not contained in this Agreement.  30      (e) Allocation of Depreciation and Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated each Fiscal Year 77% to Western and 23% to Inland Member. (f) Allocation of Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated as prescribed by the Regulations. (g) Other Special Allocations. (i) If the Company has Net Profits for any Fiscal Year or other allocation period (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 8.6(g)), each Member whose Partially Adjusted Capital Account is greater than his Target Capital Account for such Fiscal Year or period shall be specially allocated items of deduction or loss for such Fiscal Year or period equal to the difference between his Target Capital Account and his Partially Adjusted Capital Account.  In the event the Company has insufficient items of deduction or loss for such Fiscal Year or period to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of deduction or loss shall be divided among such Members in proportion to such differences. (ii) If the Company has Net Losses for any Fiscal Year or other allocation period (determined prior to giving effect to this Section 8.6(g)), each Member whose Target Capital Account is greater than his Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such Fiscal Year or period shall be specially allocated items of income or gain for such Fiscal Year or period equal to the difference between his Target Capital Account and his Partially Adjusted Capital Account.  In the event the Company has insufficient items of income or gain for such Fiscal Year or period to satisfy the previous sentence with respect to all such Members, the available items of income or gain shall be divided among such Members in proportion to such differences. (iii) The availability of items of income, gain, deduction or loss to be specially allocated pursuant to this Section 8.6(g) shall be determined after giving full effect to all other provisions of this Section 8.6.  8.7 Built-In Gain or Loss/Section 704(c) Tax Allocations.  In the event that the Capital Accounts of the Members are credited with or adjusted to reflect the fair market value of the Companys property and assets, the Members distributive shares of depreciation, depletion, amortization, and gain or loss, as computed for tax purposes, with respect to such property, shall be determined pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and Book Value of such property, in accordance with the traditional method with curative allocations, as provided for under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(c) [I-West to review]. Any deductions, income, gain or loss specially allocated pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining Net Profits or Net Losses or for purposes of adjusting a Members Capital Account.  8.8 Recapture.  Ordinary taxable income arising from the recapture of depreciation and/or investment tax credit shall be allocated to the Members in the same manner as such depreciation and/or investment tax credit was allocated to them.  8.9 Retention of Section 751 Assets.  Upon the occurrence of an event which would otherwise cause a reduction in a Members respective interest in the Companys Section 751  31      assets (substantially appreciated inventory and unrealized receivables as defined in Section 751 of the Code), such as the admission of new Members or otherwise, no such reduction shall occur with respect to Members who were Members immediately preceding such event and who continue to be Members after the occurrence of such event but, rather, each such Member shall retain its respective interest in the Companys Section 751 assets existing immediately prior to such event.  8.10 Prohibition Against Retroactive Allocations.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Member shall be allocated any loss, credit or income attributable to a period prior to its admission to the Company. In the event that a Member transfers all or a portion of its Membership Interest, or if there is a reduction in a Members Percentage Interest due to the admission of new Members or otherwise, each Members distributive share of Company items of income, loss, credit, etc., shall be determined by taking into account each Members varying interests in the Company during the Companys taxable year. For this purpose, unless the Board of Directors elects to provide for an interim closing of the Companys books, each Members distributive share shall be estimated by taking the pro rata portion of the distributive share such Member would have included in its taxable income had it maintained its Membership Interest throughout the Company year. Such proration shall be based upon the portion of the year during which such Member held the Membership Interest, except that extraordinary, non-recurring items shall be allocated to the Persons holding Membership Interests at the time such extraordinary items occur.

Code tit. 6, § 8-101 et seq.).  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the UCC, such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control.  ARTICLE 12

(a) Except as expressly provided in Sections 12.2 through 12.6 below, no Member shall sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, charge or otherwise encumber, or suffer any third party to sell, assign, transfer, mortgage, charge or otherwise encumber, or contract to do or permit any of the foregoing, whether voluntarily or by operation of law (herein sometimes collectively called a Transfer), any part or all of its interest in the Company, or substitute a transferee in its place as a substitute Member of the Company, without the unanimous written consent of all Members and any attempt to do so shall be void. In no event shall the Manager approve any Transfer to any person or entity that is not an accredited investor as defined in Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. (b) In order to effectuate the purpose of this Section 12.1, each Member that is an entity will seek to Transfer its interest in the Company only through a direct Transfer of such interest therein in the manner contemplated in this Article 12, and no Transfer or other disposition  40      of any stock or partnership or other beneficial interest in any such Entity will be effected, directly or indirectly, unless unanimously approved by the Members. (c) In the event of a Transfer of any interest in contravention of the provisions of this Section 12.1, the person or entity to whom such Transfer is made shall become neither a Member nor an assignee or holder hereunder, and shall not be entitled to participate in any decision or to receive any share of profits or cash in respect of the Companys business or to share in distributions, if any, in which its assignor would otherwise have been entitled to share, and shall have no right to require any information or accounting of any transactions of the Company, and such assignee shall not be entitled to vote with respect to any Company matter. No transferee shall be a Member nor shall it have any of the rights thereof until admitted as a Member pursuant to this Section 12.1 and until such transferee shall have executed a counterpart of this Agreement and agreed in writing to assume and be bound by all of the relevant obligations of the transferor. (d) Each Member shall perform reasonable due diligence to insure that at all times throughout the term of the Contemplated New Debt, no transferee shall be an Embargoed Person.  12.2 Right of First Offer; Tag Along Right. (a) At any time after the ninety (90) day anniversary of the date of this Agreement, a Member (who did not commit a Default Event) may sell its Membership Interest, subject to the restrictions imposed by any existing financing documents, including the Contemplated New Debt and the terms hereof, provided, however, Western may not sell pursuant to this Section 12.2(a) a portion of its Membership Interest comprising more than twenty five percent (25%) of the outstanding Membership Interests in the Company without also complying with Section 12.2(c) below.  The Member wishing to sell its Membership Interest (the Offeror) must first deliver written notice (a Sell Trigger Notice) to the other Member (the Respondent) specifying in writing the price (the Stated Selling Price) at which the Offeror would be willing to sell its entire Membership Interest to the Respondent.  Any Sell Trigger Notice shall reference the invocation of this Section 12.2(a) and shall constitute an irrevocable offer from the Offeror to the Respondent to sell all, but not less than all, of the Offerors Membership Interest in the Company at the Stated Selling Price. Within fifteen (15) days following a triggering of the provisions of this Section 12.2(a), the Respondent shall notify the Offeror of its intention either (x) to buy all of the Offerors Membership Interest in the Company from the Offeror for the Stated Selling Price, or (y) to permit the Offeror to sell its Membership Interest to an independent third-party pursuant to an arms length transaction for an amount equal to or greater than 97% of the Stated Selling Price (the Required Third Party Price), without regard to the restrictions set forth in Section 12.1 above. In the event the Respondent fails to timely notify the Offeror of its election pursuant to this Section 12.2(a), the Respondent shall be deemed to have elected to proceed pursuant to clause (y) above. (b) In the event the Respondent elects or is deemed to have elected to proceed pursuant to clause (y) of Section 12(a) above, the Offeror shall have the right for a period of twelve (12) months after the date of the Sell Trigger Notice (the Third Party Sale Period) to sell its Membership Interest in the Company to a bona fide third party for the Required Third Party Price. In the event the Offeror fails to consummate the sale of its Membership Interest for  41      the Required Third Party Price prior to the expiration of the Third Party Sale Period, Offerors rights to sell its Membership Interest to a third party will be revoked until such time as the Offeror has repeated the process set forth in Section 12.2(a) and provided the Respondent with the right to make its election pursuant to Section 12.2(a) above. (c) In the event that Western desires to sell a portion of its Membership Interest comprising more than twenty five percent (25%) of the outstanding Membership Interests in the Company pursuant to this Section 12.2 and has complied with the provisions of Sections (a) and (b) above, and subject to the restrictions imposed by any existing financing documents (including the Contemplated New Debt), Western shall give Inland Member fifteen (15) days written prior notice of such proposed sale, and Inland Member shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice to elect (a Tag Along Election) either to (x) sell all, but not less than all, of its Membership Interest to the proposed purchaser, on the same terms and conditions as the Western sells its Membership Interest and at a price equal to the greater of (I) a price based on Westerns price, prorated to reflect the difference in percentage Membership Interests being sold or (II) the Call Price (the Tag Along Price), or (y) not to sell its Membership Interest.   If Inland Member makes a Tag Along Election, then Western shall cause, as a condition of its sale, the proposed purchaser to purchase the Inland Members Membership Interest from Inland Member at the Tag Along Price and upon the other terms and conditions upon which Western is selling its Membership Interest, except that each selling Member shall only be severally liable for any representations, warranties or indemnities in favor of the proposed purchaser regarding such Member, and Western only shall be liable for any representations, warranties or indemnities in favor of the proposed purchaser regarding the Company, any Company Entity or any Existing Portfolio Project, (ii) each Member shall receive a share of each form of consideration paid by the proposed purchaser calculated as set forth above. (d) If the Company desires to sell any Individual Property, any such sale must be in compliance with the terms of any existing financing documents, including the Contemplated New Debt encumbering such Individual Property.  In addition, in connection with any such proposed sale, the Company shall deliver to each Member written notice of its intention to sell, which notice shall specify the Individual Property to be sold and the proposed price and other terms of such sale (a Property Sell Trigger Notice).  The proposed price shall represent the Companys good faith estimate of fair market value for such Individual Property.  Any such Property Sell Trigger Notice shall reference the invocation of this Section 12.2(d) and shall constitute an irrevocable offer from the Company to the Members to sell the applicable Individual Property to either Member at the price and upon the terms specified therein. Within fifteen (15) days following a triggering of the provisions of this Section 12.2(d), the Members shall notify the Company of their intention either (x) to buy the Individual Property at the price and upon the terms specified in the Property Sell Trigger Notice, or (y) to permit the Company to sell the Individual Property to a bona fide third-party purchaser pursuant to an arms length transaction at a price equal to or greater than 97% of the price identified in the Property Sell Trigger Notice and upon the terms specified in the Property Sell Trigger Notice.  In the event a Member fails to timely notify the Company of its election pursuant to this Section 12.2(d), such Member shall be deemed to have elected to proceed pursuant to clause (y) above.  If both Members timely elect to proceed pursuant to clause (x) above, then the Members and the Company shall negotiate with respect to the price only, and not the terms, until one Member is willing to pay a higher price than the other Member.  Thereafter, or if only one Member timely elects to proceed pursuant to clause  42      (x) above, the Company shall execute a purchase and sale agreement reflecting the price and the terms specified in the Property Sell Trigger Notice (or such higher negotiated price, if applicable), and shall proceed to closing in accordance with such contract.  If both Members elect, or are deemed to elect, to proceed pursuant to clause (y) above, then the Company may sell the applicable Individual Property to any bona fide third party purchaser for a price equal to or greater than 97% of the price identified in the Property Sell Trigger Notice and upon the terms specified in the Property Sell Trigger Notice, provided such sale closes within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the Property Sell Trigger Notice. (e) Any exercise of the provisions of clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 12.2 is also subject to the provisions of Section 12.4 below.  12.3 Western Call Right. (a) At any time after the earlier to occur of (i) the occurrence of a Default Event by Inland Member, or (ii) the ninety (90) day anniversary of the date of this Agreement, Western may elect by providing Inland Member (also, in such instance, a Respondent) with written notice (the Call Trigger Notice) to purchase all of Inland Members Membership Interest in the Company. (b) In addition, if Western is to be acquired pursuant to a tender offer, Western shall, prior to such acquisition: (I)  be obligated to exercise its rights under Section 12.3(a) above and deliver a Call Trigger Notice, and (II) acquire Inland Members Membership Interest in accordance with Section 12.3(a) above, concurrently with implementation of such tender offer. (c) [Reserved]. (d) The price payable in respect of Inland Members Membership Interest hereunder shall be an amount equal to (i) the greater of (X) the then outstanding amount of Inland Members Capital Contribution or (Y) the fair market value of Inland Members Membership Interest, plus (ii) an amount necessary to yield to Inland Member a cash return of six percent (6%) per annum, compounded monthly at six percent (6%) per annum, on its outstanding Capital Contributions from time to time, plus (iii) an amount necessary to yield to Inland Member an additional cash return of five percent (5%) per annum, compounded quarterly at five percent (5%) per annum, on its outstanding Capital Contributions from time to time, plus (iv) Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the Call Price). (e) Exercise of the provisions of this Section 12.3 is also subject to the provisions of Section 12.4 below.  12.4 Provisions Applicable to Right of First Offer and Call Agreement. (a) [Reserved]. (b) If any Member elects to purchase the other Members Membership Interest pursuant to clause (x) of Section 12.2(a) or Section 12.3 above, the purchasing Member shall deliver to a mutually acceptable escrow agent a non-refundable cash deposit within thirty (30) days of Respondents actual or deemed notice in the case of a transfer pursuant to clause (x) of  43      Section 12.2(a),  or within ten (10) days after delivery of the Call Trigger Notice in the case of a transfer pursuant to Section 12.3(a), in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of the Stated Selling Price or the price as determined by Section 12.3(d), as applicable, or (ii) $1,000,000 (the Deposit) to secure the purchasing Members obligations hereunder. (c) Closing of any sale pursuant to clause (x) of Section 12.2(a) or Section 12.3 above (Closing) shall occur on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the escrow agents receipt of the purchasing Members deposit as contemplated by Section 12.4(b) above (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day) (the Closing Date), at the principal place of business of the Company, or at such other time and place as may be mutually agreed upon, and (unless otherwise agreed to by the parties) shall be on a cash basis. At such Closing: (i) the seller shall convey all of its Membership Interest in the Company, and warrant that (a) the Interest being sold by it is free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and rights of others, (b) it has full right and authority to sell such Interest and that the sale has been duly authorized, (c) the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby will not violate the terms of any agreement to which the selling Member is a party, or any order, judgment, or decree applicable to the selling Member, and (d) no consent, approval, or authorization of any other person or entity is required on the part of the selling Member in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the purchaser shall pay the seller, as applicable, either the Stated Selling Price or the price as determined by Section 12.3(d) of this Agreement, as applicable (the Intra-Member Purchase Price), less a credit for the Deposit (which shall be delivered by the escrow agent to the seller and the amount thereof credited against the Intra-Member Purchase Price), and as adjusted by customary closing prorations and customary closing costs, in cash or by certified or cashiers check; and (iii) all parties shall execute and deliver such other documents as may be appropriate to effect, evidence and perfect the transaction. (d) Should the purchaser pursuant to clause (x) of Section 12.2(a) or Section 12.3 above fail timely to close, the seller, as its exclusive remedies in the circumstances (i) shall be entitled to receive from the escrow agent, as liquidated damages for such failure, the Deposit deposited pursuant to Section 12.4(b) of this Agreement, (ii) shall have the right for a period of twelve (12) months after the scheduled Closing Date (the Default Sale Period) to sell its Membership Interest in the Company to a bona fide third party without a restriction on price, and (iii) in the case of a transaction pursuant to Section 12.3, Westerns rights pursuant to Section 12.3 shall be suspended for a period of twelve (12) months. In the event the seller thereafter fails to consummate the sale of its Membership Interests to a third party during the Default Sale Period, the sellers rights to sell its Membership Interest to a third party will be suspended until such time as the seller has delivered a Sell Trigger Notice pursuant to Section 12.2(a).  If any Member which is the selling Member fails to perform its obligations contained in clause (x) of Section 12.2(a) or Section 12.3, (i) the buying Member may, in addition to its other remedies set forth in this Agreement, enforce its rights by an action for specific performance, and (ii) the selling Member shall be deemed to have committed a Default Event. (e) In connection with a Transfer pursuant to these Sections 12.2 through 12.4, the purchaser may designate another person or persons to acquire the sellers Membership Interest in the Company, in which event such other person(s) shall acquire such Membership Interest, but no such designation or acquisition shall relieve the purchasers (as determined without regard to this Section 12.4(e)) from any obligation under these Sections 12.2 through 12.4.  44      (f) Any Member shall have the right to exercise the Right of First Offer pursuant to Section 12.2 above (such Member being the Initiating Member); provided, however, that upon any Members exercise of such provision, no Member may again trigger the provisions of Section 12.2 until the termination of all procedures and timeframes pursuant to Section 12.2. (g) As a condition to a Members obligation to sell its Membership Interest in the Company pursuant to Section 12.2, the selling Member must be released at the closing from any indemnities, guaranties or other credit enhancements granted by such Member on behalf of the Company or any Project Entity to any third party. 12.5 Transfer Condition.  In connection with any transfer of a Membership Interest or any portion thereof to a non-Member, the Member making such transfer and the assignee shall furnish the other Member with a copy of the transfer instrument, a ratification by the assignee of this Agreement, evidence of any required third party consents, and, if requested, a legal opinion that the transfer complies with applicable federal and state securities laws.  In addition, the Member making such transfer shall reimburse the Company for all costs and expenses incurred by the Company, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, in connection with such Transfer.  12.6 Certain Permitted Transfers.  (a)  Provided such Transfer does not result in the application of any due on sale clause under any Company or Company Entity financing, or otherwise constitute a default thereunder (unless Western has obtained the prior written consent of the applicable lender), Western may Transfer its Membership Interest (in whole, but not in part) to an Affiliate or other related party of Western pursuant to a corporate merger or reorganization so long as such transferee expressly assumes the obligations of Western hereunder. (b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of any holder of a direct or indirect interest in Inland Member or Inland Equity, LLC from conveying, assigning, pledging, encumbering or otherwise transferring any or all of its interest therein, and no consent of the Company or any Member shall be required, and no right of first offer or the like shall be required in connection with any such transfer.  12.7 Termination of Obligations.  As of the effective date of any Transfer not prohibited hereunder by a Member of its entire interest in the Company, such Members rights and obligations hereunder shall terminate except as to any indemnity obligations of such Member attributable to acts or events occurring prior to such date. Thereupon, except as limited by the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall terminate as to the transferring Members but shall remain in effect as to the other Members. In the event of a Transfer of its entire Membership Interest by a Member to another Member, the Member to whom such interest is transferred shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Member so transferring its Membership Interest from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, expenses, actions, lawsuits, and other proceedings, judgments, awards, and costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in or rising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, out of operation of the business of the Company, excluding only those liabilities, if any, accruing after to the date of such Transfer.   45      12.8 Restraining Order.  In the event that any Member shall at any time Transfer or attempt to Transfer its Membership Interest in violation of the provisions of this Agreement and any rights hereby granted, then the other Member shall, in addition to all rights and remedies at law and in equity, be entitled to a decree or order restraining and enjoining such Transfer and the offending Member shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; it being hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that damages at law will be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the violation of the provisions concerning Transfer set forth in this Agreement.  12.9 No Termination.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 12, no Member shall Transfer all or any part of its Membership Interest to a Person or Entity other than another Member if such Transfer would result in a termination of the Company under the Code, or constitute a default under any documents evidencing or securing the then existing financing on the Portfolio.  12.10 Withdrawal.  No Member shall have the right to withdraw from the Company without the prior written consent of the remaining Members. 12.11 Compliance with Loan Documents.  No Member shall make, or cause or permit to be made, any Transfer that does not comply with any restrictions on transfers set forth in the documents evidencing or securing any loan to any Company Entity, including, without limitation, the absolute prohibition on transfers until after ninety (90) days after the closing of the Contemplated New Debt.   ARTICLE 13
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION  13.1 Waiver of Rights.  Each Member does hereby expressly waive any and all rights to dissolve, terminate or liquidate, or to petition a court for the partition, dissolution, termination or liquidation of the Company except as provided in this Article 13.  13.2 Voluntary Termination.  Prior to the expiration of the Term as specified in Section 2.9, the Company may terminate upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) the unanimous written consent of all of the Members; (b) the election by either Member to dissolve and liquidate the Company at any time after the Contemplated New Debt has been repaid or defeased in full, which election shall be made in writing delivered to both the other Member and the Company not less than ninety (90) or more than one hundred eighty (180) days before the proposed date of such dissolution; (c) the occurrence of a Default Event, provided the non-defaulting Member elects to terminate the Company within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such Default Event; or  46      (d) the sale of substantially all the assets of the Company and the distribution to the Members of all proceeds from such sale.  13.3 Events of Involuntary Dissolution.  The Company shall terminate and be dissolved upon the expiration of the term, as same may be extended, as provided in Section 2.9 hereof.  13.4 Reformation of Company.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.3, the Company shall not be dissolved upon the expiration of the term specified in Section 2.9 in the event that, within sixty (60) days after the date of any of such event, the remaining Members elect to continue the business of the Company in a reconstituted form.  13.5 Effect of Dissolution.  Upon dissolution, the Company shall cease to carry on its business, except as permitted by Section 18-803 of the Delaware Act.  13.6 Winding Up, Liquidation and Distribution of Assets. (a) Upon dissolution, Manager shall perform an accounting of the accounts of the Company and of the Companys assets, liabilities and operations, from the date of the last previous accounting until the date of dissolution. The Manager shall immediately proceed to wind up the affairs of the Company. (b) If the Company is dissolved and its affairs are to be wound up, the Manager shall: (i) sell or otherwise liquidate all of the Companys assets promptly as practicable; (ii) allocate any Net Profit or Net Loss or items of income, gain, loss or deduction resulting from such sales to the Members in accordance with Article 8 hereof; (iii) discharge all liabilities of the Company, including liabilities to Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, other than liabilities to Members for distributions, and establish such Reserves as may be reasonably necessary to provide for contingent or liabilities of the Company; and (iv) distribute any remaining Distributable Cash in accordance with Section 9.3. (c) If the Company has been unable to completely liquidate its interest in all of the Companys assets prior to the expiration of the Term, Company will have sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term to deliver to Inland Member written notice (the Liquidation Notice) stipulating a price for each of the remaining Existing Portfolio Projects (each price a Liquidation Price, in the aggregate, the Total Liquidation Price).  Each Liquidation Price shall represent the Companys good faith estimate of fair market value.  Inland Member shall have thirty (30) days from the date it receives the Liquidation Notice (the Liquidation Notice Date) to elect by written notice to Company and the Board of Directors either (x) to sell the remaining Existing  47      Portfolio Projects to Western for the Total Liquidation Price, or (y) to cause the Company to sell the remaining Existing Portfolio Projects to one or more third party purchasers on the open market for not less than 100% of the Liquidation Price for such Existing Portfolio Projects. If Inland Member fails to timely elect either (x) or (y), it shall be deemed to have elected (x).  If Inland Member elects (y), and the Company thereafter is unable to sell the remaining Existing Portfolio Projects to one or more third party purchasers on the open market for not less than 100% of the Liquidation Price for such Existing Portfolio Projects, the Company shall sell to Western the remaining assets of the Company for the aggregate Liquidation Price for such Existing Portfolio Projects. The Closing of such sale shall occur within ninety (90) days after the Company and Western shall execute such instruments as are necessary or advisable to consummate such sale.  Western shall receive a credit at the Closing in an amount equal to, and in lieu of, any distribution that it would otherwise have received under Section 9.3 hereof, and such amounts shall be deemed a distribution under Section 9.3. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, upon a liquidation within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) of the Treasury Regulations, if any Member has a deficit Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make any Capital Contribution, and the negative balance of such Members Capital Account shall not be considered a debt owed by such Member to the Company or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. (e) Upon completion of the winding up, liquidation and distribution of the assets, the Company shall be deemed terminated. (f) All Members and the Manager shall comply with any applicable requirements of applicable law pertaining to the winding up of the affairs of the Company and the final distribution of its assets.  13.7 Certificate of Termination.  When all debts, liabilities and obligations have been paid and discharged or adequate provisions have been made therefor and all of the remaining property and assets have been distributed to the Members, a Certificate of Termination may be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with the Delaware Act.  13.8 Return of Contribution Nonrecourse to Other Members.  Except as provided by law or as expressly provided in this Agreement, upon dissolution, each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company for the return of its Capital Contribution. If the Company property remaining after the payment or discharge of the debts and liabilities of the Company is insufficient to return the cash contribution of one or more Members, such Member or Members shall have no recourse against any other Member.  ARTICLE 14
ADDITIONAL MEMBERS  14.1 Admission of a New Member.  Subject to the terms of any existing Company or Company Entity financing, from the date of the formation of the Company, any Person or Entity acceptable to the Members may become a Member of this Company either by the issuance by the  48      Company of Membership Interests for such consideration as the Board of Directors shall determine, or as a transferee of a Members Membership Interest or any portion thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  ARTICLE 15
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS  15.1 Governing Laws.  This Agreement, and the application of interpretation hereof shall be governed by its terms and by the laws of the State of Delaware, and specifically the Delaware Act.  15.2 No Action for Partition.  No Member has any right to maintain any action for partition with respect to the property of the Company.  15.3 Execution of Additional Instruments.  Each Member hereby agrees to execute such other and further statements of interest and holdings, designations, powers of attorney and other instruments necessary to comply with any laws, rules or regulations.  15.4 Waivers.  The failure of any party to seek redress for violation of or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having the effect of an original violation.  15.5 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive the right to use any or all other remedies. Such rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the parties may have by law, statute, ordinance or otherwise.  15.6 Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application thereof shall not be affected and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.  15.7 Heirs, Successors and Assigns.  Each and all of the covenants, terms, provisions and agreements herein contained shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, to the extent permitted by this Agreement, their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.  15.8 Third Parties.  None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any third party.  15.9 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  15.10 Certification of Non-Foreign Status.  In order to comply with § 1445 of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, in the event of the disposition by the Company of a United States real property interest as defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations, each Member shall provide to the Company, an affidavit stating, under penalties of  49      perjury, (i) the Members address, (ii) United States Taxpayer identification number, and (iii) that the Member is not a foreign person as that term is defined in the Code and Treasury Regulations. Failure by any Member to provide such affidavit by the date of such disposition shall authorize the Manager to withhold 10% of each such Members distributive share of the amount realized by the Company on the disposition.  15.11 Notices.  Each Notice shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been properly given or served when transmitted by facsimile transmission or internet e-mail (with a conforming copy to be delivered by other means) or when delivered to any nationally recognized overnight courier or by personal delivery (which may include delivery by commercial courier service) if receipt is procured. The time period in which a response to any Notice must be made, or any action taken or payment made with respect thereto, shall start on the date which is one (1) day after the date of the confirmation of receipt of such facsimile transmission, the date of the delivery of such internet e-mail, the date of receipt indicated on the return receipt of the Notice or on the date of personal delivery evidenced by a receipt. Rejection of or other refusal to accept a Notice, or the inability to deliver because of changed address or status of which no Notice was given, shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving to the other Members at least 10 days prior Notice thereof, any Member shall have the right from time to time during the term of this Agreement to change its address for the purposes of this Agreement and to specify as its new address any other address within the United States of America. All dates and time referred to in this Agreement shall be determined based on local time in Chicago, Illinois. Initially, Notices shall be sent to the addresses specified in Exhibit F to this Agreement.  15.12 Amendments and Waivers.  Any amendment to or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be made in writing and signed by all of the Members.  15.13 Invalidity.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and the Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision were omitted. If any particular provision herein is construed to be in conflict with the provisions of the Delaware Act. The Delaware Act shall control and such invalid or unenforceable provisions shall not affect or invalidate the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such conflicting provision were omitted.  15.14 Further Assurances.  The Members each agree to cooperate, and to execute and deliver in a timely fashion any and all additional documents necessary to effectuate the purposes of the Company and this Agreement.  15.15 Time.  TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.  15.16 General Statutory Override.  To the extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern over all provisions of the Delaware Act which would apply but for (and inconsistently with) this Agreement. For each question (a) with respect to which the Delaware Act provides a rule (a default rule) but permits a limited liability companys operating agreement to provide a different rule and (b) which is addressed by this Agreement, the default rule shall not apply to the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the  50      following provisions of the Delaware Act shall not apply to the Company: Section 18-304, Section 18-801 and Section 18-804.  15.17 Exculpation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any exhibits attached hereto or in any documents executed in connection herewith, it is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties hereto that: (a) the recourse of either Member or any of their respective successors or assigns against the other Members in connection with this Agreement or any action taken by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to any alleged act or omission of such Member or any representative of such Member, any misrepresentation (whether allegedly intentional or unintentional) by or on behalf of such Member, or any breach by or on the part of such Member of any representation, warranty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity or agreement contained in this Agreement (collectively, the Undertakings), shall be limited to such Members interest in the Company, and (b) no personal liability or personal responsibility of any sort with respect to any of the Undertakings or any alleged breach thereof is assumed by, or will at any time be asserted or enforceable against, such Member or its respective Affiliates, or against any of their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, constituent partners, members, beneficiaries, trustees or representatives. Nothing contained in this Section 15.17 shall limit or impair the operation and effect of the dilution provisions set forth in Section 7.1(d). 15.18 Waiver of Jury Trial.  In the event of any disputes hereunder, each Member hereby agrees not to elect a trial by jury of any issue triable of right by jury, and waives any right to trial by jury fully to the extent that any such right shall now or hereafter exist with regard to this Agreement, or any claim, counterclaim or other action arising in connection therewith.  This waiver of right to trial by jury is given knowingly and voluntarily by each Member, and is intended to encompass individually each instance and each issue as to which the right to a trial by jury would otherwise accrue.

FEE SCHEDULE Western and/or its Affiliate, Inland Management, will provide disposition and property management services to the Company and/or each Project Entity. Western, or as the case may be, Inland Management, will be entitled solely to the following fees for the performance of such services: 1. With respect to all properties for which Inland Management serves as Property Manager, Inland Management will receive from the relevant Project Entity a property management fee equal to 4.5% of the actual monthly gross income generated by such Existing Portfolio Project provided the leases for the tenants of such Project Entity allow for full recovery of the 4.5% management fee as a pass-through expense. In the event any such leases do not allow for recovery of any or all of the property management fee, then the property management fee payable by the relevant Project Entity to Inland Management shall be 3.5% of the actual monthly gross income generated by the lease in question (i.e., the fee will be 4.5% for leases which allow for full recovery of the 4.5% management fee as a pass-through expense and 3.5% for all other leases). Included within this property management fee shall be all legal expenses for leases with any national tenants, the cost of in-house insurance placement, in-house construction supervision of all tenants tenant improvement build out, all in-house design work for marketing brochures, all in-house accounting and reporting costs and expenses. 2. Inland Management shall be paid leasing commissions pursuant to the following schedule: Leasing commissions per the following schedule (when an outside broker is involved, the payout is 150%, and on a renewal, the payout is 50%) (i) <= 2,500 square feet = $4.00 per square foot (ii) 2,5015,000 SF = $3.50 per square foot (iii) 5,00110,000 SF = $3.00 per square foot (iv) 10,00120,000 SF = $2.50 per square foot (v) >= 20,001 SF = $2.00 per square foot In no event shall Inland Management be paid a leasing fee for an Existing Portfolio Project that it no longer manages and leases. 3. [omitted].  E-1      4. In the event that Westerns brokerage division is engaged by the Board of Directors to sell the Portfolio or by any Project Entity to sell an Existing Portfolio Project to a third party on behalf of the Company, or as applicable, such Project Entity, the sales commission will be negotiated at that time based upon then-prevailing market rates. 5. Western or, at Westerns sole option, Inland Management shall receive an administration fee of 0.25% of total venture capitalization to cover the costs of any in-house legal costs for the preparation of the purchase and sale documents for acquisition and dispositions, in-house tax appeals, and in-house the cost of placing all mortgage debt on the properties.

EXAMPLE OF SECTION 7.1(D) CALCULATION By way of example only, assume that $100,000,000 has been contributed by the Members to the capital of the Company upon formation with Inland Members Initial Percentage Interest being 23% and Westerns Initial Percentage Interest being 77%. Assume that a Capital Call of $10,000,000 is made pursuant to Section 7.1(c) of the Agreement. Therefore, the Proportionate Shares for Inland Member and Western of such capital call are 23% ($2,300,000) and 77% ($7,700,000), respectively. Further assume that Western funds only $6,000,000 of its Proportionate Share and that Inland Member elects to fund the unfunded portion of Westerns Proportionate Share ($1,700,000) as an Additional Capital Contribution. Based upon the foregoing assumptions, Westerns failure to fully fund its Proportionate Share will have the following result: (A) Westerns Percentage Interest will be reduced by the Reduction Percentage from 77% to 75.81%, calculated using the following formula: Reduction Percentage = A x ((B x 1.0)/C)) Where: A = Westerns Initial Percentage Interest (0.77) 
B = Westerns Unfunded Proportionate Share ($1,700,000) 
C = Total Capital Contributed to the Company ($110,000,000) [0.77 x ($1,700,000 x 1.0) / $110,000,000] = 0.0119 Westerns Percentage Interest will then be reduced by the Reduction Percentage: 0.77 - 0. 0119 = 0.7581 or 75.81% (B) Inland Members Percentage Interest will be increased by the Reduction Percentage from 23% to 24.19%.
