All funds so contributed to the Company shall in turn be contributed by the Company to the Affiliated Companies and 18A Lender (to be loaned to the Operating Partnership), all in the same manner as the Development Contributions pursuant to Section 4.02. 
4.04.    Failure to Make Additional Capital Contributions  If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to make a Development Contribution or an Additional Capital Contribution within the time period set forth above for such a contribution, the Managing Member shall provide a notice to all Members of such failure, after which such Non-Contributing Member shall have five (5) Business Days in which to cure its failure and make such contribution.  Following such cure period, one or more of the other Members (each a “Contributing Member”) may (but without obligation to do so) advance to the Company an additional amount equal to the Non-Contributing Member’s unpaid Development Contribution or Additional Capital Contribution (as appropriate), and such advance shall be treated as a Priority Loan as provided in Section 4.04(a) below.
(a)    The entire advance made by the Contributing Member in response to the applicable Call for Development Capital or Call for Capital (i.e., both the portion advanced by the Contributing Member on its own behalf and the portion advanced by the Contributing Member on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member) shall be deemed a loan (a “Priority Loan”) to the Company which shall accrue interest at an annual rate equal [***] (the “Priority Loan Yield”), and which shall be payable as a first priority out of any and all distributions otherwise payable under this Agreement in the manner set forth in ARTICLE VI.  Interest expense incurred on any Priority Loan shall be treated as an expense of the Company.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Priority Loan Yield be deemed part of the Total Project Costs.
(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.04(a), if the Priority Loan has not been repaid in full by the date which is nine (9) months after the advance in question, the Contributing Member may elect, by written notice to the Non-Contributing Member at any time thereafter until the date such Priority Loan  and the Priority Loan Yield thereon are repaid in full to treat the entire unpaid portion of the Priority Loan and the then accrued Priority Loan Yield, as a Capital Contribution, whereupon the Percentage Interests of the Contributing Member and the Non-Contributing Member shall be adjusted effective as of the date of such Capital Contribution, as follows:
(i)    The Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member shall be decreased to the percentage obtained (rounded to the nearest 1/1000 of a percentage point) by (1) multiplying its Percentage Interest by the aggregate Capital Contributions of all of the Members, before giving effect to the Capital Contributions made by the Members pursuant to such Call for Capital or Call for Development Capital, as applicable, and (2) dividing the product so obtained by the sum of (A) the aggregate Capital Contributions of all of the Members before giving effect to the Capital Contributions made pursuant to such Call for Capital or Call for Development Capital, as applicable, [***] of the then outstanding principal balance of the Priority Loan plus the Priority Loan Yield thereon then outstanding; and
(ii)    The Percentage Interest of the Contributing Member shall be increased by the same number of percentage points as the decrease in the Non-Contributing Member’s Percentage Interest.
4.05.    No Other Required Capital Contributions.  No Member shall be required to contribute capital to the Company except as set forth in Section 4.02 and Section 4.03above.
4.06.    Capital Accounts.
(a)    The Company shall establish and maintain a separate Capital Account for each Member in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), which shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations.  In the event the Managing Member shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, the Managing Member may make such modification, provided that it will not have any adverse effect on the amounts distributable to any Member pursuant to this Agreement.  The Managing Member also shall (1) make any adjustments that are necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the combined Capital Accounts of the Members and the total amount of Company capital reflected on the Company’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g), and (2) make any appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) subject, however, to the limitation on modifications having any adverse effect on amounts to be distributed to a Member as provided in the preceding sentence.  Any questions with respect to a Member’s Capital Account shall be resolved by the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion, applying principles consistent with this Agreement.  On the Effective Date, the Capital Account balances of the Members shall equal the amounts set forth next to the Members names in Section 4.01(a) hereof.
(b)    Any transferee of a portion or all of a Member’s Membership Interest shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor Member to the extent it relates to the Membership Interest transferred.
4.07.    Negative Capital Accounts.  Except to the extent Members are required to make Capital Contributions to the Company under Section 4.02, no Member shall be required to pay to the Company or to any other Member any deficit or negative balance which may exist in such Member’s Capital Account from time to time or upon Liquidation of the Company.  A negative Capital Account shall not be considered a loan from or an asset of the Company.
4.08.    Return of Capital; No Interest on Amounts in Capital Account.  Except upon dissolution of the Company or as may be expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall have the right to demand or receive the return of any of its aggregate Capital Contributions or any part of its Capital Account or be entitled to receive any interest on its Capital Contributions or its outstanding Capital Account balance.
ARTICLE V     
ALLOCATIONS
5.01.    Allocation of Profits and Losses.  After giving effect to the Regulatory Allocations set forth in Section 5.02 of this Agreement, Profits and Losses for any fiscal year or other period of the Company shall be credited to the Capital Accounts of the Members as follows:  Profits and Losses shall be allocated among the Members so as to produce, as nearly as possible, Capital Account balances for the Members (taking into account all prior allocations and distributions) which would equal the amount to which the Members would be entitled as a liquidating distribution from the Company upon a hypothetical liquidation in which the net proceeds were distributed in accordance with the priorities set forth in ARTICLE VI and as if the net proceeds available for distribution were an amount equal to the aggregate positive balance in the Members’ Capital Accounts computed after taking into account all allocations of Profit and Loss (or items thereof) for the fiscal period, including those pursuant to this Section 5.01; provided, however, that if the allocation of all or any portion of the Company Losses (or items thereof) causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of a Member or Members with respect to such fiscal year to which the allocation of such Company Losses relates, the excess, if any, shall be allocated to those Members, if any, having positive remaining Capital Account balances, to the extent of any such positive balances, and thereafter in accordance with the Members’ respective economic risk of loss with respect to any indebtedness to which the remaining Loss or deductions are attributable. All items of the Profit for any fiscal year having a like character and treatment for federal income tax purpose, (e.g., ordinary income, as opposed to short-term capital gain, as opposed to long-term capital gain) shall be allocated proportionately in accordance with the foregoing principles to the maximum extent possible, as if there were no items of Profit of another character.
5.02.    Regulatory Allocations.  The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:
(a)    Partnership 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 Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Member shall be allocated items of income and gain for such fiscal year and, if necessary, for subsequent fiscal years equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain.  The determination of a Member’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(g) of the Regulations.  The items to be specially allocated to the Members in accordance with this Section 5.02(a) shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(6) of the Regulations.  This Section 5.02(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)    Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, in the event there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Member that had a share of such Partner Minimum Gain as of the beginning of the fiscal year shall be allocated, to the extent required by Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year and, if necessary, subsequent years equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain.  This Section 5.02(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement set forth in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations 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 Section 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) of the Regulations which would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.  This Section 5.02(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” in satisfaction of the alternate test for economic effect set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
(d)    Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(b)(1) of the Regulations) shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with the Members’ Percentage Interests.
(e)    Allocation of Partner Nonrecourse Deductions.  Partner Nonrecourse Deductions (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations) shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt (within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Regulations) to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations.
(f)    Offsets to Regulatory Allocations.  This Section 5.02 provides for a series of allocations (“Regulatory Allocations”) whose purpose is to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations.  In the event that Regulatory Allocations are made, such allocations shall be taken into account in subsequent allocations of Profits, Losses and items thereof so that the net amount of allocations of Profits, Losses and items thereof to each Member shall be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to such Member pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE V if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.  For purposes of applying the foregoing sentence, allocations pursuant to this Section 5.02(f) shall be made only to the extent that the Managing Member reasonably determines that allocations pursuant to this ARTICLE V would otherwise be inconsistent with the economic agreement among the Members.
(g)    Section 704(c) Tax Allocations.  in the event that the Capital Account of any Member is credited with or adjusted to reflect the fair market value of a Company property or properties, 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.  Any deductions, income, gain or loss specially allocated pursuant to this Section 5.02(g) shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining Profits or Losses or for purposes of adjusting a Member’s Capital Account.
5.03.    Allocation in the Event of Transfer.  If a Membership Interest in the Company is transferred and/or modified in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, there shall be allocated to each Member which held the transferred and/or modified Membership Interest during the fiscal year of the transfer and/or modification the product of (a) the Company’s Profits or Losses allocable to such transferred and/or modified Membership Interest for such fiscal year, and (b) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days such Member held the transferred and/or modified Membership Interest during such fiscal year, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal year; provided, however, that the Company shall allocate such Profits or Losses by closing the books of the Company immediately after the transfer and/or modification of an Membership Interest if determined by the Managing Member prior to the due date for the Company’s taxable year in which the transfer occurred or at the request of a transferor or transferee of such transferred Membership Interest.  Such allocation shall be made without regard to the date, amount or receipt of any distributions which may have been made with respect to such reduced, transferred and/or modified Membership Interest.
ARTICLE VI     
DISTRIBUTIONS
6.01.    Distribution of Proceeds.  Net Cash Flow, Net Financing Proceeds and/or Extraordinary Cash Flow derived from a Liquidating Sale shall be distributed within ten (10) days after the event giving rise to the Net Financing Proceeds or Extraordinary Cash Flow and otherwise on a monthly basis:
[***]
6.02.    Distributions in Kind.  All distributions shall be made in cash and no Company assets shall be distributed in kind without the consent of all of the Members except as provided in Section 12.02(a).  Any assets distributed in kind shall be valued for such purpose at their fair market value as of the date of distribution as determined by an independent appraiser selected by the Managing Member with the approval of the other Members, and shall be treated for the purposes of this ARTICLE VI as if the Company had sold such assets at such value and distributed the proceeds of such sale to the Member or Members receiving such assets.
6.03.    REIT Distributions.  At the option of the Managing Member, the Company shall take (and shall cause the Operating Partnership and the Affiliated Companies to take), and the Managing Member is authorized to take, reasonable action which in the opinion of tax counsel selected by the Managing Member is necessary and consistent with the Managing Member’s (or its Affiliate’s) qualification as a REIT, to distribute pro rata to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests sufficient amounts pursuant to this ARTICLE VI to enable the Managing Member (or its Affiliate that is a REIT) to pay shareholder dividends that will (i) enable the Managing Member (or its Affiliate that is a REIT) to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations; and (ii) enable the Managing Member (or its Affiliate that is a REIT) to avoid any material federal income or excise tax liability of the Managing Member (or its Affiliate that is a REIT) as a result of its status as a REIT, assuming for purposes of this determination that the only items on the federal income tax return of the Managing Member (or such Affiliate that is a REIT) are the items shown on its Schedule K-1 received from the Company and all cash distributions received from the Company (less a reasonable allowance for non-deductible administrative costs) have been paid as dividends to the shareholders of the Managing Member on the day after such distributions are received from the Company.
ARTICLE VII

7.02.    Delegation; Standards; Indemnification.
(a)    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Managing Member may, at any time, delegate any of its powers, duties and responsibilities to its Affiliate.  Any delegation pursuant to this Section 7.02(a) shall not, however, relieve the Managing Member of any of its obligations hereunder.

Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that losses under such Credit Support Agreement are solely and directly attributable to the actions of one Member or its Affiliates (it being understood that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed Affiliates of a Member for this purpose), that Member shall bear 100% of the losses and liability related to such act, without any right to reimbursement.

[***]
7.04.    Special Meetings; Action by Written Consent.  Any Member may call a special meeting of the Members at any time.  All of the provisions set forth above with respect to regular meetings shall also apply to any special meetings.  Any action requiring the consent of the Members may be taken without a meeting pursuant to written consent of the Members.
7.05.    Third Parties.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Managing Member may execute a certificate that, except in the case of any matter which requires the unanimous approval of the Members pursuant to this Agreement, may be conclusively relied upon by any third party (without any further inquiry whatsoever) stating that any action or proposed action does not require the approval or consent of the Members under this Agreement or that such approval or consent has been obtained, and any action taken by the Managing Member in connection therewith shall in fact be the act of, and bind, the Company.
7.06.    Other Activities of Members.  Except as expressly provided in that certain Agreement Regarding Future Developments to be mutually executed by the Members on or after the date hereof, any Member and its Affiliates may have other business interests and may engage in other business ventures of any nature or description whatsoever, whether presently existing or hereafter created, and whether or not competitive with the business of the Company or any Member.
7.07.    Withholding of Tax on Certain Company Distributions.
(a)    Unless treated as a Tax Payment Loan, any amount paid by the Company for or with respect to any Member on account of any withholding tax or other tax payable with respect to the income, profits or distributions of the Company pursuant to the Code, the Regulations or any state or local statute, regulation or ordinance requiring such payment (a “Withholding Tax Act”) shall be treated as a distribution to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement, consistent with the character or source of the income, profits or cash that gave rise to the payment or withholding obligation.  To the extent that the amount required to be remitted by the Company under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to such Member, unless and to the extent that funds shall have been provided by such Member pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 7.07(a), the excess shall constitute a loan from the Company to such Member (a “Tax Payment Loan”).  Any such Tax Payment Loan shall be payable upon demand and shall bear interest, from the date that the Company makes the payment to the relevant taxing authority, at the lesser of:  (i) the Prime Rate plus two (2) percentage points per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by applicable law, compounded monthly (but in no event higher than the highest interest rate permitted by applicable law).  During such time as any Tax Payment Loan to any Member (or the interest thereon) remains unpaid, the Company shall make future distributions due to such Member under this Agreement by applying the amount of any such distributions first to the payment of any unpaid interest on such Tax Payment Loan and then to the repayment of the principal thereof, and no such future distributions shall be paid to such Member until all of such principal and interest has been paid in full.  If the amount required to be remitted by the Company under the Withholding Tax Act exceeds the amount then otherwise distributable to a Member, the Company shall notify such Member at least five (5) Business Days in advance of the date upon which the Company would be required to make a Tax Payment Loan under this Section 7.07(a) (the “Tax Payment Loan Date”) and provide such Member the opportunity to pay to the Company on or before the Tax Payment Loan Date, all or a portion of such deficit.
(b)    The Managing Member shall have the authority to take all actions necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of any Withholding Tax Act applicable to the Company and to carry out the provisions of this Section 7.07.  Nothing in this Section 7.07 shall create any obligation on the Managing Member to advance funds to the Company or to borrow funds from third parties in order to make any payments on account of any liability of the Company under a Withholding Tax Act.
7.08.    REIT Provisions.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of the Act, any action of the Managing Member on behalf of the Company or any decision by the Managing Member to refrain from acting on behalf of the Company, based on an opinion of tax counsel selected by the Managing Member (and reasonably acceptable to the other Members, the other Members agreeing that, for this purpose, an opinion of counsel issued by any of the following law firms is deemed to be acceptable until the fifth anniversary of the close of the Company’s taxable year in which the certificate of occupancy is issued for the Property (as may be extended with the mutual approval of the Members): [***], or their successors) that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order to: (i) protect the ability of LPT to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Code, or (ii) avoid LPT incurring any material taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Members.
(b)    At any time when a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Company is owned by an entity that has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall without the prior written consent of Liberty:  (i) except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Project, acquire any asset that is not described in Section 856(c)(4)(a) of the Code or any successor provision; (ii) enter into a loan secured by an interest in real property in which the Company would receive income from a “shared appreciation provision” as defined in Section 856(j)(5) of the Code; (iii) enter into a loan in which the interest income depends, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, on the income or profits of any person for purposes of Section 856(f) of the Code; (iv) enter into any lease involving real property where any portion of the rents would be excluded from the definition of “rents from real property” under Section 856(d)(2) of the Code; (v) sell any property which, when sold, would constitute property described in Section 1221(1) of the Code, except when the net selling price is less than $10,000; except with respect to a taxable REIT subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) and securities described in Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code, acquire securities of any single issuer having a value greater than four percent (4%) of the value of the Company’s total assets, or hold securities of any one issuer or having a value of more than eight percent (8%) of the total voting power of the outstanding securities of any one issuer or having a value of more than eight percent (8%) of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the provisions of Sections 856 or 857 of the Code are amended so that one of the requirements in clauses (i) through (v) above becomes irrelevant to the qualification of a REIT as a REIT under the Code and will not cause adverse tax consequences to a REIT if the requirement is not complied with, such provision shall no longer apply to the Company.
(c)    In making any determinations under this Agreement in which the classification of any entity as a “real estate investment trust” for federal income tax purposes is relevant, such determination or calculation shall be made by assuming that only the items reported on such entity’s federal income tax return are the items reported on the Member’s Schedule K-1 received from the Company (or the entity’s distributive share of such items).
(d)    [***]
(e)    As of the date hereof, based on advice received, the parties anticipate that all of the gross rental income from the portion of the Property leased to Comcast shall qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code.
7.09.    Right to Disclose Information.  No Member shall be in breach of its obligations under this Agreement or any other obligations or duties to the Members at law or in equity (whether under a theory of  fiduciary duty or otherwise) solely because such Member or its Affiliates files this Agreement (and some or all of the exhibits hereto) as an exhibit to a filing it may make with the Securities Exchange Commission or makes disclosures regarding the transactions governed by this Agreement to the extent the Member or its Affiliates reasonably believe necessary to enable it or its Affiliates to comply with federal and state securities laws and the regulations of  the Securities Exchange Commission, the rules of any stock exchange, or in connection with any filing or registration made by an Affiliate of the Member, as the issuer of publicly traded securities.
7.10.    Loan Provisions.  Each Member shall cooperate to amend this Agreement and the Certificate of Formation (and or to cause the Company to amend the organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company) if required to comply with the requirements of any lender providing mortgage financing to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company in accordance with this Agreement, provided that no such amendment shall reduce the rights or increase the obligations of the Members under this Agreement.  No Member will be required to guaranty debt, except that (a) to the extent a mutually approved construction loan requires guarantees of the repayment of the loan, Liberty and Comcast shall (subject to Section 7.02(f)) each provide joint and several guarantees and (b) Liberty shall provide a completion guaranty if required by the construction lender, provided that the obligations thereunder shall be no more onerous on Liberty than the Development Agreement.  At any time while any Member has potential liability under so called non-recourse carve-outs, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be authorized to take any action that would result in the triggering of liability under the non-recourse carve-outs, without the prior approval of all of the Members, which may be withheld for any reason or no reason.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time while any Member has potential liability under so called non-recourse carve-outs: (i) without the consent of the Members, the Company shall not be authorized to commence, on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary, any voluntary proceeding for bankruptcy, reorganization or similar relief, or to consent to any involuntary petition for such relief; (ii) the Members expressly waive any rights that they may have at any time, whether under a theory of fiduciary duty or under any other legal or equitable principle, to compel the Company or any Subsidiary to take any action that would trigger liability under non-recourse carve-outs, including, without limitation, commencing a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding or consenting to any involuntary petition or relief in connection therewith; and (iii) the Members agree that they themselves shall not initiate an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
7.11.    Management Dispute.  If any Member believes that a Management Dispute exists, such Member may deliver notice thereof to the other Member in writing pursuant to the notice provisions set forth in Section 13.02 (a “Management Dispute Notice”).  The Management Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the dispute.  Promptly after the delivery of the Management Dispute Notice, each Member shall designate a member of its senior management to meet with each other in person and to exercise all diligent efforts, acting in good faith, to resolve such dispute.
7.12.    Removal of the Managing Member.
(a)    Comcast may remove the Managing Member at any time if [***].
(b)    Any removal of the Managing Member shall be effective upon such date that Comcast provides written notice to the Managing Member specifying the basis for the removal.  If Comcast so removes the Managing Member, Comcast shall select a new Managing Member, which new Managing Member shall not be required to be a Member prior to its admission as the Managing Member, and the removed Managing Member shall become Non-Managing Member and Liberty shall have no consent or approval rights with respect to the Company except that (i) [***].  Upon the removal of the Managing Member as a result of any of the events described in subsections (i) through (iv) of Section 7.12(a), Comcast shall be permitted at any time thereafter to exercise its Call Right pursuant to Section 8.01(b), notwithstanding that the Standstill Period has not then expired; provided that, the Deferral Right shall not be available to Liberty pursuant to Section 8.01(c), but the right to rescind following any such exercise of the Call Right shall be available in accordance with Section 8.01.
ARTICLE VIII     
PUT/CALL
8.01.    Invoking the Put/Call Provisions.  The Put/Call provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII may not be invoked by any party for any reason prior to the termination of the Standstill Period.  The Put/Call provisions set forth in this Article VIII shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in any Financing Document.
(h)    Put Right.  At any time after the Standstill Period, Liberty shall have the right and option (the “Put Right”) exercisable by giving written notice (the “Put Notice”) to Comcast to cause Comcast to purchase from Liberty all of the Membership Interests owned by Liberty free and clear from any claims, liens and encumbrances for the Purchase Price (defined below).  The Put Notice shall set forth a statement that Liberty desires to terminate the relationship between the Members and to sell its Membership Interests to Comcast pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII.  After receipt of the Put Notice, the Members shall commence the Appraisal Process set forth in Section 8.04 below.  [***].
(i)    Call Right.  At any time after the Standstill Period, Comcast shall have the right and option (the “Call Right”) exercisable by giving written notice (the “Call Notice”) to Liberty to purchase from Liberty all of the Membership Interests owned by Liberty free and clear from any claims, liens and encumbrances for the Purchase Price.  The Call Notice shall set forth a statement that Comcast desires to terminate the relationship between the Members and to purchase Liberty’s Membership Interests pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII.  After delivery of the Call Notice, [***].
(j)    Deferral Right.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII to the contrary, if Liberty delivers to Comcast a Put Notice, or if Comcast delivers to Liberty a Call Notice, then the party receiving such notice (the “Receiving Party”) shall have the right (the “Deferral Right”), exercisable by written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Put Notice or Call Notice, as applicable, [***] of the date on which the Appraisal Initiation Date would have fallen if the deferral under this subsection (c) had not occurred.  If a party timely exercises its Deferral Right, the Appraisal Initiation Date shall be the date which is [***] after the Put Notice, with respect to the Put Right, or [***] after the Call Notice, with respect to the Call Right.
8.02.    Put Sale Option.  [***].  
8.03.    Purchase Price.  The purchase price payable by the Purchasing Member for the Membership Interests being acquired pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.02 (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to [***].
8.04.    Appraisal Process.  
(a)    The “Fair Market Value” of the Property shall mean the amount that a willing purchaser would pay and a willing seller would accept, for a sale of the Property on the Appraisal Initiation Date, based on the assumptions set forth in Section 8.04(b), as determined in accordance with this Section 8.04.   Unless otherwise agreed by the Members, the “Fair Market Value” of the Property shall be determined by the appraisal procedures set forth in this Section 8.04 (the “Appraisal Process”). Each of Liberty and Comcast shall deliver to the other, not later than the date (the “Appraisal Deadline”) which is sixty (60) days after the Appraisal Initiation Date, the written appraisal report of a reputable M.A.I. appraiser having at least ten (10) years’ experience in the business of appraising high rise office buildings in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (a “Qualified Appraiser”), which report shall set forth such appraiser’s appraisal of the fair market value of the Property as of the Appraisal Initiation Date (a “Round I Appraisal”).  Each Round I Appraisal shall be prepared in accordance with the then-current Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practices.  If the lower of the fair values set forth in the two Round I Appraisals shall be in an amount at least equal to [***]% of the higher of such fair values, the Fair Market Value shall be an amount equal to the arithmetic average of such two fair values.  However, if the lower of the fair market values set forth in the two Round I Appraisals is less than [***]% of the higher of such fair market values, the Qualified Appraiser selected by Comcast and the Qualified Appraiser selected by Liberty shall jointly select, within seven (7) Business Days after the Appraisal Deadline, select a third Qualified Appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”). Each of the Round I Appraisals shall be furnished to the Third Appraiser.  Within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the Third Appraiser, the Third Appraiser shall render a written determination of the Fair Market Value by selecting, without change, the determination of one (1) of the original Qualified Appraisers as to the Fair Market Value and such determination shall be final, conclusive and binding. The Fair Market Value as determined pursuant to this Section 8.04 shall be deemed accepted and agreed to by the Members and shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto.  The date upon which the Fair Market Value of the Property shall finally be determined in accordance with this Section 8.04 shall be referred to herein as the “Final Appraisal Date”.  Subject to the following sentence, each Member shall pay the costs of its own Qualified Appraiser, and the Members shall share equally the costs of the Third Appraiser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if a Member exercises its right to rescind a Call Notice, Put Notice or Offer, as applicable, such rescinding party shall pay 100% of the costs of the Qualified Appraisers.
(b)    Each Round I Appraisal shall be accompanied by a complete narrative appraisal report setting forth the data and matters upon which the Qualified Appraiser’s appraisal of value is predicated, and shall utilize, inter alia, the following assumptions:
(i)    there are no mortgages or other encumbrances affecting title to the Property;
(ii)    there are no transfer taxes, brokerage commission, allocation or other costs typically associated with the closing of a real estate purchase transaction which are payable, and in determining Fair Market Value, no reduction shall be made for the Estimated Closing Costs, which shall be accounted for as provided in Section 8.03 above; and
(iii)    for the purposes of a sale pursuant to Sections 8.01(a) and 8.01(a) only (and specifically not in connection with a Transfer pursuant to the exercise of a Right of First Offer under Section 11.03), [***]. 
8.05.    Closing.  The provisions of this Section 8.05 shall apply (1) in the event Comcast elects (or is deemed to elect) to purchase Liberty’s Membership Interests pursuant to Section 8.01(a), (2) in the event Comcast exercises its Call Right pursuant to Section 8.01(b), (3) in the event Comcast elects pursuant Section 8.01(a) to market the Property to a third party and Comcast fails to cause the Operating Partnership to enter into a binding agreement of sale or to consummate such sale within the time periods set forth in Section 8.01(a) or (4) in the event either Member exercises its Right of First Offer pursuant to Section 11.03.
(a)    The Member selling its Membership Interests is referred to herein as the “Selling Member”.  The Member purchasing the Membership Interests, or any Person designated by such Member to purchase the Membership Interests (which designation shall be permitted by written notice to the Selling Member, but shall not relieve the Purchasing Member of its obligations for the payment of the Purchase Price or other obligations of the Purchasing Member hereunder), is referred to herein as the “Purchasing Member”, provided that, so long as the Comcast Tenancy Requirement is satisfied, no such designated Purchasing Member may be a Competitor of Comcast.
(b)    The Purchase Price shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the time of the consummation of the sale.  The sale shall be consummated on or before the one hundred twentieth (120th) day after the Final Appraisal Date, except with respect to a sale pursuant to the provisions of clause (3) of Section 8.05 above, in which event the sale shall be consummated on or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the Outside Put Sale Date  (or, if applicable, the expiration of the 180-day period without the sale having been consummated as set forth herein) (or in any such event, on the first Business Day thereafter, if such day is not a Business Day), subject in all cases, to any extension necessary to obtain any applicable governmental or lender approvals, such extensions to continue as long as the applicable parties are diligently pursuing such approvals.
(c)    Any transfer of interests to a Member pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII or Section 11.03 shall be for all cash and shall be free and clear of any claims, liens and encumbrances thereon, and the agreement evidencing the sale of the Selling Member’s interest shall contain customary provisions for an assignment of this type, including a representation and warranty as to the Selling Member’s title to the interest, which representation shall survive the closing thereof, and for any breach thereof the Purchasing Member shall have recourse to the Selling Member (or, in the event of liquidation or dissolution of the Selling Member, to any transferee of the assets and liabilities of the Selling Member).  
(d)    The Selling Member shall execute and deliver (and shall cause its Affiliates to execute and deliver, to the extent necessary to carry out the purpose of this ARTICLE VIII or Section 11.03, as applicable) such assignments and other documents (in form reasonably acceptable to the Selling Member and the Purchasing Member) as shall be necessary to convey the Membership Interests of the Selling Member to the Purchasing Member and/or its designee, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and other adverse claims.  If either Member fails to complete the closing of the transaction as required hereunder, the other Member shall have all rights and remedies available hereunder, at law or in equity, including the right to seek specific performance of this Agreement.  If the Selling Member and/or its Affiliate is a party to any Credit Support Agreement, then at or before the closing of the sale transaction the Purchasing Member shall secure on behalf of the Selling Member and/or its Affiliate (at the Purchasing Member’s sole cost) a release from such Credit Support Agreements or, if such release is not available despite Purchasing Member’s commercially reasonable efforts to obtain same, provide such indemnities in favor of the Selling Member and its Affiliates as the Selling Member deems acceptable in its reasonable discretion.  Such release or indemnity shall relate only to matters arising from and after the completion of such sale of the Membership Interests.
8.06.    Assumption of Company’s Obligations.  Following the closing of a purchase by a Member of the other Member’s Membership Interests in accordance with this Article VIII or Section 11.03, the Purchasing Member shall assume all rights and obligations of the Selling Member arising under or pursuant to this Agreement (except liability arising through an act in contravention of this Agreement or the partnership agreement of the Affiliated Companies or of the Operating Partnership by the Selling Member or its Affiliates), and the Purchasing Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Selling Member and its Affiliates from and against all such assumed obligations, and to that extent the Selling Member and its Affiliates shall continue to be responsible with respect thereto. .
8.07.    Payment of Debts.  If the Selling Member or its Affiliates have any outstanding debts to the Company, the Affiliated Company, the Operating Partnership, or to the Purchasing Member relating to the Company, all proceeds of the Purchase Price due the Selling Member shall be paid to the Company, the Affiliated Companies, the Operating Partnership, or the Purchasing Member (as the case may be) for and on behalf of the Selling Member and its Affiliates until all such debts shall have been paid and discharged in full.
ARTICLE IX     
COMPENSATION OF PARTNERS; 
PAYMENT OF COMPANY EXPENSES
9.01.    Company Expenses.  The Company shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the management and operation of the business and affairs of the Company, or in carrying out the business, purposes, and objectives of the Company, including without limitation, costs associated with a proposed transaction that is not consummated for any reason whatsoever.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall bear the costs of all third-party vendors who provide services to the Company (including without limitation auditors, tax consultants and attorneys).
9.02.    No Other Compensation.  Except as expressly set forth in this ARTICLE IX or elsewhere in this Agreement, no Member shall receive any compensation from the Company for any services rendered in its capacity as a Member.  Nothing contained herein shall prevent (i) a Member or its Affiliate from receiving reasonable compensation for any services rendered to the Company in a non-Member capacity, subject to Section 7.03, (ii) any Member from receiving distributions under ARTICLE VI, or (iii) Liberty or its Affiliate from receiving the fees and compensation pursuant to the Property Management Agreement and the Development Agreement.

The Managing Member shall establish and maintain accurate, full and complete Company records and books of account showing assets, liabilities and the Capital Accounts of the Members, revenues and expenditures, and all other aspects of the operations, transactions and cash flows of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices, consistently applied.  The Company shall use the standard accounting software utilized by the Managing Member and its Affiliates for properties in their own portfolio to keep the accounting books and records of the Company, provided that such software used shall at all times be of a quality consistent with industry standards applicable to trophy class office buildings.

(ii)    on a monthly basis, a tenant report setting forth (i) the amount of leased space and vacant space at the Property for the preceding calendar month, (ii) the amount of rent due as of the end of the preceding calendar month, and (iii) such other tenant related information as Comcast reasonably requests;

All funds received by the Company shall be deposited in the name of the Company in such checking and savings accounts, time deposits or certificates of deposit, or other accounts or instruments at such financially sound commercial banks, savings banks and savings and loan institutions not then controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Managing Member and its Affiliates, as the Managing Member may reasonably determine.  The signatories for such accounts and instruments shall be representatives of the Managing Member.  All accounts containing funds of the Company shall be segregated accounts and shall not be commingled with the funds of any other person or entity.
10.05.    Tax Matters.
(f)    The Managing Member shall cause to be prepared and filed timely all informational and other tax returns required to be filed by the Company, and shall deliver copies thereof to the Members promptly thereafter.  Subject to Section 10.06, the Managing Member shall reasonably determine the appropriate treatment of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company and the accounting methods and conventions under the tax laws of the United States, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions as to the treatment of any such item or any other method or procedure related to the preparation of such tax returns; provided that the Managing Member shall consult in good faith and give due consideration to the views of other Members in respect of  the tax treatment of partnership items of the Company with respect to which the Managing Member exercised discretion or judgment as to the treatment and which do not affect the ability of the LPT (or any Affiliate of the Managing Member that is a REIT) to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations or affect the ability of LPT (or any Affiliate of the Managing Member that is a REIT) to avoid any material federal income or excise tax liability as a result of the operations of the Company, assuming for purposes of this determination that the only items on the federal income tax return of LPT (or any Affiliate of the Managing Member that is a REIT) are the items shown on the Schedule K-1 of the Managing Member.  The Managing Member shall inform Comcast and/or its Affiliate that is a Member of the proposed tax treatment to be made on any Company tax return in a timely manner sufficiently in advance of any tax filing to allow such Members to review relevant information and shall provide any additional information reasonably requested, and the other Members shall present their views to the Managing Member within 30 days of the receipt of relevant information.   The Managing Member may cause the Company to make, refrain from making, or revoke any and all elections permitted by such tax laws in its reasonable judgment, provided that the Managing Member may not make, change or revoke any material election with respect to taxes without the unanimous consent of the other Members . The Managing Member shall provide to all Members (i) an estimated Schedule K-1 as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each Fiscal Year, and (ii) a final Schedule K-1 as soon as reasonably practicable and in any case within one hundred eighty (180) days after the close of each Fiscal Year.
(g)    The Managing Member is hereby designated as the “Tax Matters Member” under Code Section 6231(a)(7).  The Tax Matters Member shall manage audits of the Company conducted by the Internal Revenue Service or other governmental agency pursuant to the audit procedures under the Code and the regulations issued thereunder.  The Company, through the Tax Matters Member, is authorized to cooperate with and to monitor the Internal Revenue Service in any audit that the Internal Revenue Service may conduct of the Company’s books and records and information or other returns filed by the Company.  The Tax Matters Member shall take all actions necessary to preserve the rights of the Members with respect to audits and shall provide the Members with any notices of such proceedings and other information as required by law.  The Tax Matters Member shall keep the Members timely informed of its activities under this Section.  The Company, through the Tax Matters Member, may similarly cooperate with and monitor any audit by any other governmental authority and prepare and file protests or other appropriate responses to such audits.  All costs incurred in connection with the foregoing activities, including legal and accounting costs, shall be borne by the Company.  Any additional expenses with respect to judicial review of adverse determinations in connection with any such tax audits or the defense of any Member against any claim asserted by the Internal Revenue Service or other tax authority of additional tax liability arising out of its ownership of its interest in the Company shall be borne by the Member who wishes to proceed with such judicial review or defense.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Non-Managing Members retain all of their rights under the Code and Treasury Regulations to participate in any proceeding with the Internal Revenue Service or with any relevant governmental authority; and (ii) no Member shall extend the statute of limitations or enter into any settlement or agreement with any governmental authority that would adversely impact the Non-Managing Members without its prior consent.
(h)    All of the Members shall file their separate federal, State and local income tax returns strictly in accordance with the information provided to them on the Schedule K-1 furnished by the Company and no Member shall file an IRS Form 8082 with respect to any “partnership item” of the Company (as that term is defined in Section 6231(a)(3) of the Code) unless the Member desiring to file IRS Form 8082 (the “Filing Member”) (i) notifies the other Members thereof in writing (the “8082 Notice”) at least thirty (30) days before filing that the Member intends to file an IRS Form 8082 with respect to a partnership item attributable to the Company, and provides an opinion from a nationally recognized law firm or public accounting firm (expert in such matters) issued to such Member, at such member’s expense, that the position set forth in the proposed Form 8082 is, more likely than not, the correct position with respect to the tax treatment of such partnership item, and (ii) engages in good faith discussions with the other Members in an effort to resolve the differences among them with respect to the relevant partnership item.  If such discussions have not resulted in an amicable resolution within ten (10) days after the 8082 Notice, each Member shall designate a representative of its senior management to meet in person and to exercise all diligent efforts, acting in good faith, to resolve such differences within thirty (30) days after the 8082 Notice.  If such meeting or meetings do not result in agreement among the Members within such thirty (30)-day period, the Filing Member shall have the right to file the IRS Form 8082 with respect to the partnership item identified in the 8082 Notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Comcast nor its Affiliate that is a Member shall be precluded from filing the 8082 Notice on account of the limitations of this Section 10.05 solely because such Member did not receive its Form K-1 from the Company on or before April 15th of the applicable year and the only reason for filing the 8082 Notice is that the partnership items attributable to the Company reported on its income tax return are based on estimates.  
(i)    During such time as the Company has more than one Member for tax purposes, neither the Company nor any Member shall take any action, including making any election, that would result in the Company being taxed as other than a “partnership” for federal income tax purposes.
10.06.    Certain Elections.  In the event that a distribution of any of the Company’s assets is made in the manner provided in Code Section 734, where a transfer of an interest in the Company permitted by this Agreement is made in the manner provided in Code Section 743, or in any other circumstance permitting an election to be made under Section 754 of the Code, then, upon the request and at the expense of any Member, the Company shall file an election under Code Section 754, in accordance with procedures set forth in the applicable Regulations.  The Members’ Capital Accounts shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m).  Each Member shall provide the Company with all information necessary to give effect to any election under Code Section 754.
10.07.    Certain Tax Accounting Matters.    [***].
10.08.    Reserves.  The Managing Member may establish reserves consistent with the Annual Budget, for the purposes and requirements as may be required by any secured lender providing financing for the Properties or as the Members may otherwise deem appropriate (the “Reserve Accounts”).  The Reserve Accounts will be increased by any deposits thereto from time to time of amounts of the revenues of the Company from operations, the net proceeds from capital transactions, and contributions and other sources, before any distributions of such amounts to the Members, as determined to be reasonably necessary by the Members.  Such Reserve Accounts may be charged with any expenditure for the operation of the Company or the Operating Partnership or the Property that is consistent with the purposes for which such Reserve Accounts were established, whether such items are treated as current expense deductions or as capital expenditures under generally accepted accounting principles to the extent provided for in the Annual Budget or Approved Project Budget (including variances provided for in the Property Management Agreement or in the Development Agreement) or agreed to by the Members.  Nothing contained in this Section (a) shall in any way limit or restrict the right of the Members to use other assets or funds of the Company (other than deposits to the Reserve Accounts) for any such expenditures.
10.09.    Intentionally Omitted.  
10.10.    Annual Budget; Leasing Guidelines.  
(a)    The Managing Member shall, prior to October 1, 2016, submit to Comcast for its approval a proposed initial operating budget for the year 2017.  Beginning with the Annual Budget for calendar year 2018, the Managing Member shall submit not later than November 1 of the prior year a proposed operating budget for the following year to Comcast for its approval.  Comcast shall promptly communicate, in writing to the Managing Member, its approval or disapproval of each such proposal.  Any disapproval of a proposed budget must specify which particular line items are disapproved.  If Comcast fails to send a written approval or disapproval within thirty (30) days after submission of the proposal, the proposal shall be deemed to have been approved.  If Comcast provides a timely disapproval and the Managing Member fails to send its written objection in writing within thirty (30) days thereafter, Comcast’s disapproval shall be deemed to be accepted and binding with respect to the Annual Budget.  If a proposed budget is not approved (or deemed approved) by the date that is five (5) days prior to commencement of the applicable year, the then most recent Annual Budget shall continue to be in effect, except as follows:  (i) to the extent specific line items of the proposed budget have been approved by Comcast, then the budget for such specific line items shall be as so approved; (ii) subject to the preceding clause (i), (A) the budget for any expenditures over which the Company has no control, such as real property taxes, insurance premiums for then existing coverage, utility charges, interest and principal due to then existing creditors of the Company or the Operating Partnership and to the holders of liens on Property, and amounts payable pursuant to the terms of then existing contracts (including, without limitation, leases and brokerage agreements) by which the Company and/or Operating Partnership is bound (collectively, “Non-Controllable Items”) or is required to address an emergency situation, by eliminating a condition that poses a threat to life  (an “Emergency Item”) shall be the amount required to pay such items; and (B) the budget for recurring capital expenditures and any other items that are not Non-Controllable Items nor Emergency Items shall be the applicable amount set forth in the then most recent Annual Budget, such amounts in (A) and (B) being adjusted for (x) inflation as reflected in the Consumer Price Index since the date of such most recent Annual Budget and (y) any changes in the level of leasing or occupancy of the Property.  The Managing Member shall be entitled to submit to Comcast for its approval revisions to any Annual Budget at any time during the period to which such Annual Budget relates, and upon approval (or deemed approval) of such revisions by Comcast, the Annual Budget, as revised by such revisions, shall thereafter constitute the Annual Budget for the period covered thereby.  Comcast shall promptly communicate in writing to the Managing Member, its approval or disapproval of each such proposed revision, provided that, in any event, if Comcast fails to send a written approval or disapproval within thirty (30) days after submission of such revisions, the revisions shall be deemed to have been approved.
(b)    Commencing on January 1, 2016, Managing Member shall submit not later than January 1 and July 1 of each year in which a Lease Vacancy exists, proposed Leasing Guidelines or amendments to the then existing Leasing Guidelines (including the proposed standard form of lease, if different in any material respect from the approved standard form in effect) to Comcast for its approval.   Comcast shall promptly communicate, in writing to the Managing Member, its approval or disapproval of each such proposal.  Any disapproval of a Leasing Guidelines or amendments thereto must specify which particular aspects of the proposed leasing guidelines are disapproved.  If Comcast fails to send a written approval or disapproval within twenty (20) days after submission of the proposal, the proposal shall be deemed to have been approved.  If a Leasing Guideline or amendment thereto is not approved (or deemed approved) by the date that is five (5) days prior to commencement of the applicable period, the then the most recent Leasing Guidelines shall continue to be in effect, except as follows:  (i) to the extent specific aspects of the proposed leasing guidelines have been approved by Comcast, then the leasing guidelines for such specific aspects shall be as so approved.  The Managing Member shall be entitled to submit to Comcast for its approval revisions to any Leasing Guidelines at any time during the period to which such Leasing Guidelines relate, and upon approval (or deemed approval) of such revisions by Comcast, the Leasing Guidelines, as revised by such revisions, shall thereafter constitute the Leasing Guidelines for the period covered thereby.  Comcast shall promptly communicate in writing to the Managing Member, its approval or disapproval of each such proposed revision.  If a Leasing Vacancy exists, but Managing Member does not desire to amend the most recent Leasing Guidelines, Managing Member shall not be required to submit updated Leasing Guideline to Comcast and the most recent Leasing Guidelines shall continue to be in effect.
(c)    In any case in which Comcast disapproves a proposed budget or proposed leasing guidelines and the Managing Member delivers a timely objection to Comcast’s disapproval, either Comcast or the Managing Member may elect to have such dispute resolved by arbitration conducted in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.09(c), and judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(i)    If either Member desires to arbitrate such disapproval by Comcast, it shall give notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to that effect to the other Member, whereupon the Managing Member and Comcast shall endeavor to resolve their dispute through diligent and good faith negotiations.  If, notwithstanding such negotiations, the Managing Member and Comcast shall be unable to resolve their dispute on or before that date which is ten (10) Business Days after such Dispute Notice has been delivered, the parties shall use good faith efforts to agree on a Qualified Arbitrator  as the arbitrator for such dispute.  If the parties are unable to agree upon a Qualified Arbitrator, then within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Dispute Notice, each of the parties shall nominate and appoint a Qualified Arbitrator and shall notify the other party to the controversy in writing of the name and address of the arbitrator so chosen (each of which is hereinafter referred to as a “Designated Arbitrator”).  Upon the appointment of the Designated Arbitrators, they shall, within ten (10) days after their appointment and before exchanging views as to the question at issue, appoint in writing one additional arbitrator (referred to as the “Additional Arbitrator”), and give written notice of such appointment to all parties.  In the event that the Designated Arbitrators shall fail to appoint or agree upon such Additional Arbitrator within such ten-day period, the Additional Arbitrator shall be selected by the parties if they so agree upon such Additional Arbitrator within a further period of ten (10) days.  If such parties do not so agree upon such Additional Arbitrator, then such Additional Arbitrator shall be chosen by the President (or equivalent chief executive) of the local (i.e., that which includes Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) chapter of BOMA or its successor.  The Qualified Arbitrator who is ultimately selected through the foregoing process is referred to herein as the “Arbiter”.
(ii)    The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the then prevailing Commercial Arbitration Rules (without regard to mediation procedures but including rules for expedited proceedings) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), except that, to the extent that the Pennsylvania State Civil Practice and Law Rules, or any successor statute, imposes requirements different from the AAA in order for the decision of the Arbiter to be enforceable in the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, such requirements shall be complied with in the arbitration.
(iii)    The sole issues to be determined by the Arbiter with respect to an Annual Budget dispute are the [***].  If the Arbiter concludes that the disputed item satisfies the reasonable and customary standard, then Comcast’s disapproval of such budget item or items shall be deemed to have been unreasonable; provided, however, that in the case of any budget item consisting of a proposed capital expenditure that is desirable for primarily aesthetic reasons, rather than in order to continue the Property’s status as a “trophy” quality office building or to improve the operation, maintenance or upkeep of the Property or to enhance the marketability of the Property and/or the leasing demand for space in the Property, Comcast shall not be subject to challenge or overruling by the Arbiter.  The sole issue to be determined by the Arbiter, with respect to any leasing guidelines Dispute, is whether the proposed leasing guidelines are consistent with fair market rental terms.  If the Arbiter concludes that the disputed leasing guidelines are consistent with fair market rental terms, then Comcast’s disapproval of such leasing guidelines shall be deemed to have been unreasonable.  Within ten (10) Business Days after the Arbiter has been chosen, both parties shall make whatever presentations they wish to the Arbiter.  The Arbiter shall use his or her best efforts to reach a decision within forty-eight (48) hours from the conclusion of the hearing, provided that it is the desire of the parties that the Arbiter render his or her decision at the conclusion of the hearing.  The Arbiter’s decision may be made orally or telephonically, provided that the Arbiter must confirm such decision in writing, with a short summary of the reasons for the decision, within two (2) Business Days thereafter.  Copies of the Arbiter’s decision shall be sent to each of the Members and shall be binding on the Company and on all of the Members.  Any costs incurred by or payable to the Arbiter in any such proceeding shall be borne by the non-prevailing party and each party shall bear the costs of its own attorneys and other experts.  The Arbiter shall have no power to vary or modify any of the provisions of this Agreement, and its powers and jurisdiction are hereby limited accordingly.
(d)    The Managing Member shall operate the Property in accordance with the Annual Budget.  Except with respect to matters which relate to the development and construction of the Property (which shall be governed by the Development Agreement), Managing Member shall not make any expenditure other than as set forth in the Annual Budget, except for (i) Non-Controllable Items and Emergency Items as defined in  Section 10.10(a), and (ii) any expenditure which does not cause the total expenditures relating to any line item in the Annual Budget to be exceeded by [***]; provided that, in no event may the total expenditures for any budget year exceed the Annual Budget by more than [***] in the aggregate. The Managing Member may not take make any payment that would cause the fees or other sums payable to Liberty or its Affiliates to exceed the amounts in the applicable Annual Budget.
ARTICLE XI

11.01.    Transfer.
(c)    The term “Transfer,” when used with respect to a Membership Interest, shall include any sale, assignment, gift, bequest, succession through intestacy, pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange, or other disposition of the Membership Interest or any issuance, sale, assignment, gift, bequest, succession through intestacy, pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange, or other disposition of any direct or indirect ownership interest in a Member.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term “Transfer” shall not include the issuance, sale, assignment, gift, bequest, succession through intestacy, pledge, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange, or other disposition of any beneficial interests in (i) Liberty, (ii) LPT, (iii) any Liberty Merger Successor (as defined below), (iv) any publicly-traded Affiliate of a Liberty Merger Successor, (v) Comcast, (vi) any Comcast Merger Successor (defined below), or (vii) any publicly-traded Affiliate of a Comcast Merger Successor.
(d)    Except as provided in Article VIII, Sections 11.02 and 11.03, no Member may enter into or suffer to occur a Transfer, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, without the approval of all Members.  Any Transfer or purported Transfer of any Membership Interest not made in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void and in breach of this Agreement.  
11.02.    Transfers of Membership Interests to Affiliates.  The following Transfers shall be permitted upon written notice to the other Members but without the need for the consent of any other Member:
(i)    Transfers of direct or indirect Membership Interests to (A) Comcast, (B) an Affiliate of Comcast, or (C) any successor to Comcast or its Affiliates (or any Affiliate of such successor) resulting from a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or beneficial interests, or similar fundamental corporate transaction, affecting Comcast and/or its Affiliates (in any such case under this clause (C), a “Comcast Merger Successor”)
(ii)    Transfers of direct or indirect Membership Interests to (A) Liberty, (B) an Affiliate of Liberty, or (C) any successor to Liberty or its Affiliates (or any Affiliate of such successor) resulting from a merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or beneficial interests, or similar fundamental corporate transaction, affecting Liberty and/or its Affiliates (in any such case under this clause (ii), a “Liberty Merger Successor”).
11.03.    Transfers of Membership Interests to Third Party.  Subject to the Right of First Offer granted to the Members pursuant to this Section 11.03, Comcast and Liberty shall each have the right after the Standstill Period to Transfer all, but not less than all, of its entire Membership Interest to a Third-Party Purchaser.
(c)    Right of First Offer.  Comcast and Liberty shall each have a right of first offer (a “Right of First Offer”) to purchase the other Member’s Membership Interests in accordance with this Section 11.03.  If either Liberty or Comcast desires to Transfer its Membership Interest to a third party (such electing party being referred to herein as the “Offeror Member”), the Offeror Member shall deliver to the other Member (the “Offeree Member”) a written offer (an “Offer”) pursuant to which the Offeror Member will offer to [***] of such Membership Interest to the Offeree Member for the Purchase Price, provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 11.03, in determining the Fair Market Value, the [***].  Within ten (10) Business Days after delivery by the Offeror Member to the Offeree Member of the Offer, the Offeror Member shall initiate the Appraisal Process.   The Offeree Member shall notify the Offeror Member in writing, not later than ninety (90) calendar days following the Final Appraisal Date, as to whether it desires to purchase such Membership Interest (or in the case of an Offer made by Comcast to Liberty, whether Liberty elects to exercise its Tag-Along Right pursuant to Section 11.03(d)) (any failure on the part of the Offeree Member to respond in writing to the Offer within such ninety (90) calendar day period to be deemed to constitute an election on the part of the Offeree Member not to purchase, and in the case of an Offer made to Liberty, an election not to exercise the Tag-Along Right).  If the Offeree Member shall elect (or shall be deemed to have elected) not to purchase such Membership Interest, the Offeror Member shall be entitled, at any time during the twelve month period immediately following such election (or deemed election) (the “Outside Third-Party Sale Date”), to sell such Membership Interest, at a price not less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price. If the Offeror Member shall be entitled, pursuant to this Section, to sell such Membership Interest, but shall fail to effect such sale prior to the Outside Third-Party Sale Date, then (1) the Offeror Member shall be obligated to re-offer such Membership Interest to the Offeree Member in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Section 11.03(a) above prior to selling such Membership Interest to a Third-Party Purchaser and (2) the Offeror Member shall have no right to initiate a sale of  its Membership Interests to a Third-Party Purchaser or make an Offer or exercise a Call Right or Put Right (whichever is applicable) for a period of two (2) years after the Outside Third-Party Sale Date.  If the Offeror Member shall be entitled, pursuant to this Section 11.03(a), to sell such Membership Interest, but desires to sell such Membership Interest for less than [***] percent ([***]%) of the Purchase Price, the Offeror Member shall be obligated to re-offer such Membership Interest to the Offeree Member at such lesser price, in which event the Offeree Member shall respond within sixty (60) calendar days after such re-offer.  If the Offeree Member shall timely accept the Offer, the Offeror Member shall Transfer the subject Membership Interest to the Offeree Member (or if the Comcast Tenancy Requirement is satisfied, any designee of the Offeree Member that is not a Competitor of Comcast), and the Offeree Member shall accept such Membership Interest and assume the associated obligations hereunder, on the terms set forth in the Offer and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.05 hereof, as if the Offeror Member were the Selling Member and the Offeree Member were the Purchasing Member with the same force and effect as if such provisions had been set forth in the Offer in their entirety.  No designation by the Offeree Member to a third party shall relieve the Offeree Member of its obligations for the payment of the Purchase Price or other obligations of the Offeree Member hereunder.
(d)    No Transfers to Competitors.  Concurrently with its delivery of the Offer to the Offeree Member, the Offeror Member shall inform the Offeree Member as to whether the Offeror Member has determined the Person or Persons to which it intends to sell or offer to sell its Membership Interest if the Offeree Member declines to purchase, and if so, shall identify such Person or Persons to the Offeror Member with reasonable specificity.  Except for a sale of 100% of the Membership Interests of all Members to a Third-Party Purchaser in accordance with Section 11.03(c) or 11.03(d) below, neither party shall have the right to Transfer its Membership Interests to a Competitor of the Offeree Member.
(e)    Drag Along Right.  If Comcast desires to Transfer its Membership Interests to a Third-Party Purchaser pursuant to this Section 11.03 and Liberty does not elect to accept the Offer pursuant to Section 11.03(a), Comcast shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require Liberty (“Drag Along Right”) to sell all its Membership Interests to such Third-Party Purchaser (or to vote in favor of any merger, sale of assets or other transaction which would effect such a sale) for the same consideration per Membership Interest and pursuant to the same terms and conditions with respect to payment for the Membership Interests as agreed to by Comcast.  In such case, Comcast shall give written notice of its exercise of the Drag Along Right within thirty (30) days after Liberty elects (or is deemed to elect) to not exercise its Right of First Offer, setting forth (a) the consideration to be received by the Members, (b) the identity of the Third-Party Purchaser, (c) any other material items and conditions of the proposed Transfer, and (d) the date of the proposed Transfer.  Liberty shall take all reasonably necessary actions, as requested by Comcast to consummate such Transfer of Membership Interests pursuant to the exercise of the Drag Along Right.
(f)    Tag-Along Right.  If Comcast desires to Transfer its Membership Interests to a Third-Party Purchaser, Liberty shall have the right (but not the obligation, except as set forth in Section 11.03(c) above), in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Tag Along Right”) to  participate in such Transfer, by delivering written notice to Comcast within sixty (60) calendar days following the determination of the appraised value pursuant to Section  11.03(a).  Upon receipt of such notice of election, Comcast shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective Third-Party Purchaser to purchase Liberty’s Membership Interests and shall otherwise take all reasonably necessary actions to consummate such Transfer of Membership Interests pursuant to the exercise of the Tag Along Right.  If the prospective purchaser does not agree to purchase all of Comcast’s Membership Interests and Liberty’s Membership Interests, Comcast and Liberty shall be entitled to sell to the prospective purchaser, for the same consideration per Membership Interest and pursuant to the same terms and conditions, Membership Interests equal to the product of (a) such Member’s Percentage Interest multiplied by (b) the Percentage Interest held by Comcast immediately prior to such sale.  By way of example only, if at the time of such proposed sale, Comcast holds an 80% Percentage Interest and Liberty holds a 20% Percentage Interest, then if the proposed purchaser declines to purchase Liberty’s Membership Interest, Comcast shall be entitled to Transfer to such Third-Party Purchaser 80%*80% = a 64% Membership Interest and Liberty shall be entitled to Transfer to such Third-Party Purchaser 20%*80% = a 16% Membership Interest.  Comcast shall not be permitted to Transfer, and shall not Transfer, all or any portion of its Membership Interests to the prospective purchaser under this paragraph if the prospective purchaser declines to allow the participation of the Liberty.  
(g)    Sale of Equity Interests Only.  If Liberty shall sell its Membership Interests to a Third-Party Purchaser pursuant to this Section 11.03, such Third-Party Purchaser shall acquire Liberty’s equity interests only, shall not become the Managing Member unless Comcast agrees in writing in its sole discretion, and Comcast shall have the right to designate the Managing Member of the Company.  In addition, such Third-Party Purchaser shall only assume Liberty’s rights and obligations under the Property Management Agreement if approved in writing by Comcast.  If Comcast shall not approve such assignment of the Property Management Agreement, Comcast shall have the right to terminate the Property Management Agreement, as more fully set forth therein.
(h)    Rescission Right.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the Offeror Member shall have the right to rescind its Offer by providing written notice to the Offeree Member within thirty (30) days after the Final Appraisal Date.  If the Offeror Member so elects to rescind its Offer, then (1) the Offeror Member shall pay 100% of the costs of the Qualified Appraisers and (2) the Offeror Member shall not have the right to make an Offer or exercise a Call Right or Put Right (whichever is applicable) for a period of two (2) years after the date of such rescission of the Offer.
11.04.    Intentionally Omitted.  
11.05.    Withdrawal of a Member.  A Member may voluntarily withdraw from the Company only upon a Transfer of all of such Member’s Membership Interest in accordance with this ARTICLE XI.
11.06.    Admission of Transferee as a Member.  Any Person to whom any portion or all of a Membership Interest has been transferred pursuant to Section 11.02 or 11.03 shall be admitted as a substituted Member as a result of such transfer to the extent of the Membership Interest so transferred only upon the satisfaction of all of the following conditions:
(a)    Such transferee’s written acceptance of, and written agreement to be bound by, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
(b)    Reasonable evidence of the authority of such transferee to become a Member and to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and
(c)    The approval of any third party lender if required by any loan documents entered into by the Company.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any transferee who does not become a substituted Member shall be only entitled to receive the share of Profits, Losses and distributions of the Company to which the transferor was entitled with respect to the Membership Interest so transferred, and shall not have any right to vote on, consent to, approve or otherwise take part in any decision of the Members, or to any of the other rights associated with the ownership of such Membership Interest.
11.07.    Admission of Additional Members.  No Person may be admitted as an additional Member without the unanimous approval of the Members.

Such written statement may be relied upon by a Member’s prospective purchasers, investors or lenders.

In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by any provision of this Agreement, the day of the act, event or default from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included.

Unless otherwise provided herein, all notice and other periods expire as of 5:00 p.m. (local time in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) on the last day of the notice or other period.
13.21.    Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence in all provisions of this Agreement, including all notice provisions to be performed by or on behalf of any Member.

13.24.    Non-Disparagement.  Neither party shall, in any public statement made or promoted by it or its Affiliates, disparage the other party or its Affiliates with respect to the acquisition, lease, ownership, development, use or occupancy of the Project, or any prospective location which either Member may propose, from time to time, to own, lease or develop, or at which it may propose to operate its business activities; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 13.24 shall prevent Comcast from objecting or opposing a development by Liberty or its Affiliates that would adversely impact an existing facility owned or leased by Comcast or its Affiliates.
