            Management
of Company

             

            4.1    Board of
Managers.

             

            (a)    The Company shall
have a board of Managers (the “Board”), which shall initially consist of a
single manager, but may be increased or decreased by the affirmative vote of the
Class A Member.  The Managers shall be appointed by the Class A
Member.

            
               

            

            (b)    Subject to the
provisions of law or any limitations in the Act, the business and affairs of the
Company shall be managed and all powers, including without limitation, the
redemption or repurchase of Shares, shall be exercised, by or under the
direction of the Board; provided that no Manager
shall have the authority to bind the Company unless authorized to do so by the
Board.

             

            (c)    Except as
specifically set forth in this Operating Agreement, the Members hereby delegate
all power and authority to manage the business and affairs of the Company to the
Board.  The Board shall delegate the management of the day-to-day
operation of the business of the Company to such officers as the Board
determines appropriate; provided that the business
and affairs of the Company shall be managed and all powers shall be exercised
under the ultimate direction of the Board.

             

            (d)    Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, the Members expressly waive, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any and all rights and benefits such Members
might otherwise have under the Act.  Except as expressly provided in
this Agreement, the Members shall have no right to petition a court for the
dissolution of the Company.

             

            4.2    Reimbursement of
Expenses.  The Managers will
receive from the Company reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with their service as Managers in accordance with such
guidelines as may be established by the Board from time to time.

             

            4.3    Meetings of the Board
of Managers; Action by the Board.

                          
(a)    The Board (and any
committees thereof) shall meet at such times and from time to time as the
members of the Board designate, upon reasonable notice to the members of the
Board.

             

            (b)    At all meetings
of the Board, a majority of the Board members shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business.  Unless otherwise expressly stated in this
Agreement, the act of a majority of the Board members present at any meeting at
which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board.  The Board may
also act by unanimous written consent.

             

            (c)    Unless otherwise
expressly stated in this Agreement, the approval of the Board will be deemed to
be occasioned by the affirmative vote or consent of a majority of the members of
the Board.

             

            (d)    Any resolutions of or
actions taken by the Board shall be binding and the officers shall be bound to
act in accordance with any such recommendations or actions.

             

            4.4    Committees of the
Board.  The Board may
designate one or more committees, each consisting of two or more Managers, to
serve at the pleasure of the Board.  Any such committee shall have
authority to act in the manner and to the extent provided in the resolution of
the Board, and may have all the authority of the Board in the management of the
business and affairs of the Company.

            4.5    Fiduciary Duties of
the Managers.  A member of the
Board shall perform the duties of a member of the Board, including duties as a
member of any committee of the Board upon which the member may serve, in good
faith, in a manner such member believes to be in the best interests of the
Company and its equity holders and with such care, including reasonable inquiry,
as an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar
circumstances; provided, however, that if
the Company is in a zone of insolvency, a member of the Board may also consider
the best interests of the creditors in performing his or her duties as a member
of the Board (in a manner consistent with Delaware corporate fiduciary
duties).    

             

            4.6    Resignation.  A Manager may
resign at any time by giving written notice to the Members.  The
resignation of a Manager shall take effect upon receipt of notice thereof or at
such later time as shall be specified in such notice; unless otherwise specified
therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective.

             

            4.7    Removal.  Any Manager may
be removed as a Manager at any time, with or without cause, by the Class A
Member.  

             

            4.8    Vacancies.  If a Manager
ceases to be a Manager for any reason (other than a reduction in the number of
Managers by the Class A Member), a successor Manager may be appointed by the
Class A Member. 

             

            4.9    Managers’ Duty to
Company.  Managers may have
other business interests and may engage in other activities in addition to those
relating to the Company.  Neither the Company nor any Member shall
have any right, by virtue of this Operating Agreement, to share or participate
in such other investments or activities of the Managers, its directors or
officers or to the income or proceeds derived
therefrom.  

             

            4.10    Additional
Capital.  The Company shall
not raise additional capital without the approval of the Managers.  No
Member shall be required to make any additional contribution to the Company’s
capital.  

             

            4.11    Reports to
Members.  As soon as
practicable after the end of any Fiscal Year but in any event within 120 days
thereafter, the Board shall cause the Company to transmit to each Member of the
Company and to each Person (or such Member’s or Person’s legal representative)
who was a Member during any part of the Fiscal Year in question, a copy of the
Member’s Schedule K-1 thereto.  Notwithstanding anything contained in
this agreement to the contrary, the Members shall be permitted to inspect and
copy any documents and records of the Company upon reasonable
request.

            Officers

             

            5.1    Appointment of Officers.  The day-to-day
management of the business and affairs of the Company may be vested in one or
more officers, at the sole discretion of the Board.  The Board shall
appoint such officers of the Company as the Board shall deem necessary and
appropriate, which officers may include, but shall not be limited to: (a) Chief
Executive Officer; (b) President; (c) one or more Vice Presidents; (d)
Secretary; and (e) Treasurer or Chief Financial Officer. Any two or more of
such offices may be occupied by the same person.  Unless and until
otherwise determined by the Board, Pehong Chen shall serve as the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary.

             

            5.2    Tenure and Duties of
Officers.   Except
where herein expressly provided to the contrary, and subject to the discretion
of the Board, all decisions by the officers with respect to the day-to-day
management of the Company shall be binding on the Company and each of the
Managers and the Members shall not have rights of management, control, or
approval over the day-to-day business and affairs of the
Company.  Each officer shall carry out its fiduciary obligations to
the Members to the extent required by applicable law, and subject to the
provisions of Article VII.   Any officer may be removed, at any
time, by the Board in its sole discretion.  Election of an additional
officer or an officer to fill a vacancy, if any, shall be by the affirmative
vote of the Board.  Each officer shall hold office at the pleasure of
the Board and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and
qualified, unless sooner removed.

addition to the powers now or hereafter granted to an officer under the Act,
subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, the
officers shall have full power and authority to do all things deemed necessary
or desirable to conduct the day-to-day business of the Company, including,

business and to preserve Company assets and interests, to enter into agreements
and execute instruments in the name of the Company on such terms as they deem

approval:

             

            (a)    do any act in
contravention of this Agreement in its present form or as amended;

            (e)    amend this Agreement
if such amendment materially and adversely affects the rights or duties of a
Member;

             

            (f)    admit an

            (g)    take any action that
would constitute a Capital Transaction or Change in Control.

             

            To the
extent the Board’s consent is required for any of the foregoing matters, the
Board shall provide their consent or disapproval in writing to the officers
within 15 days after request by the officers.  The failure of the
Board to provide such written consent or disapproval within said time period

consideration.

otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Operating

in good faith (except for intentional misconduct or recklessness) pursuant to
the authority granted to such Member, Manager or officer of the Company by this
Operating Agreement or by the Act.

             

            (b)    To the fullest extent
permitted by the laws of Delaware, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless
each Member, Manager and their respective officers, directors, shareholders,
members or partners and each Officer of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee”),
from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, costs, damages,
liabilities (joint or several), expenses of any nature (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, settlements and other
amounts (“Damages”) arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, in which
an Indemnitee may be involved, or threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, arising out of or incidental to the business of the Company,
regardless of whether an Indemnitee continues to be a Member, Manager or an
officer, director, shareholder, member or partner of such Member or Manager or
an officer of the Company at the time any such liability or expense is paid or
incurred, except for any Damages based upon, arising from or in connection with
any act or omission of an Indemnitee committed without authority granted
pursuant to this Operating Agreement or in bad faith or otherwise constituting
recklessness or willful misconduct or gross negligence.

reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in defending any claim,
demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, subject to Section 7.1(b) hereof, may be paid (or caused to be
paid) by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such claim, demand,
action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined, by a court
of competent jurisdiction from which no further appeal may be taken or the time
for any appeal has lapsed (or otherwise, as the case may be), that the
Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized
hereunder or is not entitled to such expense reimbursement.

             

            (d)    The indemnification
provided by Section 7.1(b) hereof shall be in addition to any other rights to
which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement or vote of the Members,
as a matter of law or otherwise, both (i) as to action in the Indemnitee’s
capacity as a Member, Manager or as an officer, director, shareholder, member or
partner of a Member or Manager or as an Officer of the Company, and (ii) as to
action in another capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has
ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the
Indemnitee.

             

            (e)    Any
indemnification hereunder shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the
Company, and the Members shall not be subject to personal liability by reason of
these indemnification provisions.

             

            (f)    The indemnification
provided by this Section 7.1 shall be in addition to any other rights to which
each Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement or vote of the Members, as a
matter of law or otherwise, both as to action in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a
Member or as an officer, director, employee, shareholder, member or partner of a
Member or of an Affiliate, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives of the
Indemnitee.

             

            (g)    The Company may
purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of one or more Indemnitees and other
Persons against any liability which may be asserted against, or expense which
may be incurred by, any such Person in connection with the Company’s activities,
whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against
such liability under the provisions of this Operating Agreement.

             

            (h)    An Indemnitee shall
not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.1 because
the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the
indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms
of this Operating Agreement.

             

            (i)    The provisions
of this Section 7.1 are for the benefit of each Indemnitee and its heirs,
successors, assigns, administrators and personal representatives, and shall not
be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other
Persons.

             

            7.2    Other Matters
Concerning the Members, Managers and Officers of the Company.

             

            (a)    Each Member, Manager
and officer of the Company may rely on, and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon, any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper
or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties.

             

            (b)    For purposes of this
Operating Agreement, each Member, Manager and officer of the Company may consult
with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment
bankers, other consultants and advisers reasonably selected by it and any
written advice or written opinion of any such Person as to matters which such
Member, Manager and officer of the Company reasonably believes to be within such
Person’s professional or expert competence, and any act or omission, if done or
omitted to be done in good faith reliance upon any such advice or opinion, will
be conclusively presumed not to constitute fraud or willful or reckless
misconduct.

person calling the meeting, to each Member entitled to vote at such
meeting.  If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered as
provided in Section 14.1.

             

            8.4    Meeting of all
Members.  If all of the
Members consent to the holding of a meeting at such time and place, such meeting
shall be valid without call or notice, and at such meeting lawful action may be
taken.

             

            8.5    Record
Date.  For the purpose
of determining Members entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of
Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of
any distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other
purpose, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which
the resolution declaring such distribution is adopted, as the case may be, shall
be the record date for such determination of Members.  When a
determination of Members entitled to vote at any meeting of Members has been
made as provided in this Section 8.5, such determination shall apply to any
adjournment thereof.

             

            8.6    Quorum.  Members holding a
majority of the Class A Shares, present in person or represented by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of Members.  In the absence of a
quorum at any such meeting, Members holding a majority of the Class A Shares so
represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time for a period not to exceed
60 days without further notice.  However, if the adjournment is for
more than 60 days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for
the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each
Member of record entitled to vote at the meeting.  At such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be
transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally
noticed.  The Members present at a duly organized meeting may continue
to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal during
such meeting of Members holding Interests whose absence would cause less than a
quorum.

             

            8.7    Manner of
Acting.  The affirmative
vote of Class A Members holding a majority of the Class A Shares shall be the
act of the Members unless the vote of a greater or lesser proportion or number
is otherwise required by the Act or this Operating Agreement.  The
Class B Shares shall have no voting rights.

            8.8    Proxies.  At all meetings
of Members, a Member may vote in person or by proxy executed in writing by the
Member or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact.  Such proxy shall be
filed with the Board before or at the time of the meeting.  No proxy
shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution, unless otherwise
provided in the proxy.

             

            8.9    Action by Members
Without a Meeting.  Action required
or permitted to be taken at a meeting of Members may be taken without a meeting
if the action is evidenced by one or more written consents describing the action
taken, signed and delivered to the Secretary within 60 days of the record date
for that action, by Members having not less than the minimum number of votes
that would be necessary to authorize or take that action at a meeting at which
all Members entitled to vote on that action were present and
voted.  All such consents shall be delivered to the Secretary of the
Company for inclusion in the minutes or for filing with the Company
records.  Action taken under this Section 8.9 is effective when
consents from the Members whose aggregate Shares are required to authorize the
proposed action shall have been received by the Secretary unless the consent
specifies a different effective date.  Any Member giving a written
consent may revoke the consent by a writing received by the Secretary before
written consents representing the number of votes required to authorize the
proposed action have been received by the Secretary.  The record date
for determining Members entitled to take action without a meeting shall be the
date the first Member signs a written consent.  If the consents of all
Members entitled to vote have not been solicited in writing, and if the
unanimous written consent of all such Members shall not have been received, the
Secretary shall give prompt notice of any action approved by the Members without
a meeting to those Members entitled to vote on such matters who have not
consented thereto in writing.

             

            8.10    Waiver of
Notice.  When any notice
is required to be given to any Member, a waiver thereof in writing signed by the
person entitled to such notice, whether before, at or after the time stated
therein, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice.

            (c)    The manner in which
Capital Accounts are to be maintained pursuant to this Section 9.3 is intended,

Profits and Losses.

             

            (a)    Allocation of Net
Profits.  Except as provided in Section 10.1(c), the Net
Profits of the Company for each Accounting Period shall be allocated among the
Class A Members in proportion to their respective Class A Shares.

             

            (b)    Allocation of Net
Losses.  Except as provided in Section 10.1(d), the Net Losses
of the Company for each Accounting Period shall be allocated among the Members
as follows:

             

            (i)    First, among the
Class A Members in proportion to and in the amount of the excess, if any, of the
Net Profits allocated under Section 10.1(a) after the date of this Operating
Agreement but not distributed over allocations of Net Loss after the date of
this Operating Agreement;

             

            (ii)    Second, to the
Members in proportion to their respective Capital Account Balances until
allocation of Net Losses to any such Member would result in such Member having
an Adjusted Capital Account balance less than zero (0) at the end of such
Accounting Period;

with positive Adjusted Capital Account balances in proportion to such positive
Adjusted Capital Account balances; and

             

            (iv)    Then, after all
Members have an Adjusted Capital Account balance of zero, to all Members in
proportion to their respective Shares.

             

            (c)    Allocation of Net
Profit from a Capital Transaction.  The Net Profit from a
Capital Transaction shall be allocated as follows:

             

            (i)    First, to each Member
until its Capital Account balance is equal to the amount of its Invested
Capital, pro rata in proportion to the maximum amount allocable to each Member
under this Section 10.1(c)(i); and

             

            (ii)    Then, to the Members
pro rata in proportion to their respective Shares.

             

            (d)    Allocation of Net
Loss from a Capital Transaction.  The Net Loss from a Capital
Transaction shall be allocated as follows:

             

            (i)    First, among the
Members in proportion to and in the amount of the excess, if any, of the
undistributed Net Profits previously allocated under Section 10.1(a) over prior
allocations of Net Loss;

             

            (ii)    Second, to the
Members in proportion to their respective Adjusted Capital Account balances
until the allocation of Net Loss to any Member would result in such Member
having an Adjusted Capital Account balance less than zero;

             

            (iii)   Third, to any Members with
positive Adjusted Capital Account balances in proportion to such Adjusted
Capital Account balances; and

             

            (iv)    Then, to all Members
in proportion to their respective Shares.

             

            10.2    Special
Allocations.

             

            Notwithstanding
Section 10.1,

             

            (a)    Qualified Income
Offset.  In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any
adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section
1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Treasury Regulations, items of
Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an
amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the
Treasury Regulations, the deficit balance of the Adjusted Capital Account of
such Member as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation
pursuant to this Section 10.2(a) shall only be made if and to the extent such
Member would have a deficit balance in its Adjusted Capital Account after all
other allocations provided for in Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 have been made
as if this Section 10.2(a) were not in this Operating Agreement.

              Table of
contents

            

            (b)    Gross Income
Allocation.  In the event any Member has a deficit Capital
Account at the end of any Accounting Period which is in excess of the sum of (i)
the amount such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of this
Operating Agreement, if any, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be
obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treasury
Regulations Sections l.704-2(g)(1) and 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 10.2(b) shall only be made 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 Section 10.1 and Section 10.2 have been made
as if Section 10.2(a) hereof and this Section 10.2(b) were not in this Operating
Agreement.

             

            (c)    Minimum Gain
Chargeback.  This Section 10.2(c) hereby incorporates by
reference the “minimum gain chargeback” provisions of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-2.  In general, upon a reduction of the Company’s
minimum gain, the preceding sentence shall require that items of income and gain
be allocated among the Members in a manner that reverses prior allocations of
Nonrecourse and Member Nonrecourse deductions (as defined in such Treasury
Regulations) as well as reductions in the Members’ Capital Account balances
resulting from distributions that are allocable to increases in the Company’s
minimum gain.  Subject to the provisions of Section 704 of the Code
and the regulations thereunder, if the Board determines at any time that
operation of such “minimum gain chargeback” provisions likely will not achieve
such a reversal by the conclusion of the liquidation of the Company, the Board
shall adjust the allocation provisions of this Section 10.2(c) as necessary to
preserve as best as possible the underlying economic objectives of the
Members.

             

            (d)    Curative
Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Sections 10.2(a),
(b) and (c) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain
requirements of the Treasury Regulations.  It is the intent of the
Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset
either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other
items of Company income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section
10.2(d).  Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 10 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Company shall make such
offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss or deduction in
whatever manner the Board determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting
allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent
possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had the
Regulatory Allocations not been part of the Agreement and all Company items were
allocated pursuant to Section 10.1.

             

            (e)    Code Section 704(c)
Allocations.  In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and
the Treasury Regulations thereunder:

             

            (i)    Income, gain, loss,
and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the
Company shall, solely for income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so
as to take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such
property to the Company and its initial Adjusted Asset Value.  Such
allocation shall be made in accordance with the traditional method with curative
allocations described by § 1.704-3(c) of the Treasury
Regulations.

             

            (ii)    In the event the
Adjusted Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section
1.1(d)(ii) hereof, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction
with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the
adjusted basis of such asset for Federal income tax purposes and its Adjusted
Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury
Regulations thereunder.

             

            (f)    Company Nonrecourse
Deductions.  Any Company Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal
Year or Accounting Period shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with
their respective Interests.

             

            (g)    Member Nonrecourse
Deductions.  Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal
Year or Accounting Period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears
the Economic Risk of Losses with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which
such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

            (h)    Company Minimum Gain
Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article X, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal
Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain
for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in
Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(g), that is allocable to the disposition of Company Property subject to
such Nonrecourse Liability, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f), or (ii) the negative balance standing in such Member’s
Capital Account.  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall
be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
Member pursuant thereto.  The items to be so allocated shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(f)(6).  This Section 10.3(c) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(f)(6) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

             

            (i)    Member Minimum Gain
Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article X (except Section 10.3(c), which shall be applied first), if there is a
net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt
during any Fiscal Year or Accounting Period, each Member who has a share of the
Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in
accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially
allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and if necessary,
subsequent years) in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of
such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to
such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(5), that is allocable to the disposition of Company Property
subject to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) or (ii) the negative balance standing in
such Member’s Capital Account.  Allocations pursuant to the previous
sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be
allocated to each Member pursuant thereto.  The items to be so
allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(4).  This Section 10.3(d) is intended to comply with the
minimum gain chargeback requirements set forth in Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

             

            10.3    Distributions.

             

            (a)    Mandatory
Distributions.  Subject to applicable law and any limitations
contained elsewhere in this Operating Agreement, the Board shall distribute cash
to the Members pro rata based on their respective allocable shares of the
Company’s taxable income for the Fiscal Year in an amount equal to the product
of (i) the Tax Percentage and (ii) the Company’s taxable income for such Fiscal
Year determined in accordance with Section 703(a) of the Code as reflected on
the Schedule K-1’s in respect of each Share (reduced by distributions made to
such member during such Fiscal Year pursuant to Sections 10.3(b) and
(c)).  For purposes hereof, “Tax Percentage” shall mean initially 45%
and shall be adjusted from time to time by the Board in response to changes in
the tax rates applicable to individuals under the Code and under the state
income tax laws of the State of California and in response to any other factors
which cause the distributions under this Section 10.3(a) to be less than a
Member’s tax liability in respect of each Share.

             

            (b)    Distributions of
Funds From Operations.  Subject to applicable law and any
limitations contained elsewhere in this Operating Agreement, including Section
10.3(e), the Board may elect from time to time to distribute Funds From
Operations to the Class A Members, and such distributions shall be to all Class
A Members, pro rata in proportion to the Shares held by the Class A
Members.

             

            (c)    Distributions of
Funds From Capital Transactions.  Subject to applicable law and
any limitations contained elsewhere in this Operating Agreement, the Managers
shall distribute Funds From Capital Transactions to the Members.  Any
distribution of Funds From Capital Transactions made under this Section 10.3(c)
shall be made to the Members in the amounts of and in proportion with their
Adjusted Capital Account balances.

             

            (d)    Tax
Withholding.  The Company shall comply with withholding
requirements under federal, state and local law and shall remit amounts withheld
to, and file required forms with, the applicable jurisdictions.  To
the extent the Company is required to withhold and pay over any amounts to any
authority with respect to distributions or allocations to any Member, the amount
withheld shall be treated as a distribution in the amount of the withholding to
that Member.  If the amount of withholding tax paid by the Company was
not withheld from actual distributions, the Company may, at its option, (i)
require the Member to promptly reimburse the Company for such withholding or
(ii) reduce any subsequent distributions by the amount of such
withholding.  Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any
representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to
assist it in minimizing or eliminating and in determining the extent of, and in
fulfilling, its withholding obligations.

            _______________

            *The
Members have nominally assigned a value of $2,000 to the Capital Contribution of
the Class B Member reflecting proportionality with the initial Capital
Contribution of the Class A Member. The Members deem the intellectual property
rights contributed by the Class B Member to have a fair market value equal to
20% of the Company’s total Adjusted Asset Value at the time of admission of the
Class B Member as a Member. In the event that the adjustment called for by
Section 1.1(d)(ii) in connection with such admission results in an increase in
the Company’s aggregate Adjusted Asset Value, the deemed value of the Capital
Contribution of the Class B Member shall automatically be increased
accordingly.

other activities relating to the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s respective business and
assets as the Board shall reasonably request or the Advisor shall deem appropriate under the
particular circumstances; and

          (aa) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company and the Operating Partnership to
comply with all applicable laws.

     4. AUTHORITY OF ADVISOR.

          (a) Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (including the restrictions included in this
Section 4 and in Section 8), and subject to the continuing and exclusive authority of the Board
over the management of the Company, the Board (by virtue of its approval of this Agreement and
authorization of the execution hereof by the officers of the Company) hereby delegates to the
Advisor the authority to take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions and to execute and deliver
any and all agreements, certificates, assignments, instruments or other documents and to do any and
all things that, in the judgment of the Advisor, may be necessary or advisable in connection with
the Advisor’s duties described in Section 3.

          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any investment in an Investment that does not fit within
the Company’s investment objectives, strategy, guidelines, policies and limitations as described in
the Company’s Prospectus and within the discretionary limits and authority as granted from time to
time by the Board, will require the prior approval of the Board, any particular Directors specified
by the Board or any committee of the Board, as the case may be.

-8-

 

          (c) If a transaction requires approval by the Independent Directors, the Advisor will deliver
to the Independent Directors all documents and other information required by them to properly
evaluate the proposed transaction.

          (d) The prior approval of a majority of the Independent Directors not otherwise interested in
the transaction and a majority of the Directors not otherwise interested in the transaction will be
required for each transaction to which the Advisor or its Affiliates is a party.

          (e) The Board may, at any time upon the giving of notice to the Advisor, modify or revoke the
authority set forth in this Section 4; provided, however, that such modification or revocation
shall be effective upon receipt by the Advisor and shall not be applicable to investment
transactions to which the Advisor has committed the Company or the Operating Partnership prior to
the date of receipt by the Advisor of such notification.

     5. SUB-ADVISORS. The Advisor is hereby authorized to enter into one or more sub-advisory
agreements with other investment advisors (each, a “Sub-Advisor”) pursuant to which the
Advisor may obtain the services of the Sub-Advisor(s) to assist the Advisor in fulfilling any of
its responsibilities hereunder. Specifically, the Advisor may retain a Sub-Advisor to recommend
specific real properties, securities or other investments based upon the Company’s investment
objectives, policies, guidelines and restrictions, and work, along with the Advisor, in sourcing,
structuring, negotiating, arranging or effecting the acquisition or disposition of such investments
and monitoring investments on behalf of the Company, subject to the oversight of the Advisor and
the Board.

          (a) The Advisor and not the Company shall be responsible for any compensation payable to any
Sub-Advisor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall reimburse the Advisor for any
expenses properly incurred by the Sub-Advisor, to the extent such expenses would be reimbursable if
incurred by the Advisor pursuant to the terms of Section 11 hereof, in order for the Advisor to
timely reimburse the Sub-Advisor for such out-of-pocket costs.

          (b) Any sub-advisory agreement entered into by the Advisor shall be in accordance with the
requirements of the Articles of Incorporation and other applicable federal and state law.

          (c) Any sub-advisory agreement between the Advisor and a Sub-Advisor shall include an express
acknowledgement by the Sub-Advisor that the Sub-Advisor shall be subject to the same fiduciary
duties to the Company, the Operating Partnership and the Stockholders imposed on the Advisor
pursuant to this Agreement, the Articles of Incorporation and other applicable federal and state
law in connection with the performance of its services under the sub-advisory agreement.

     6. BANK ACCOUNTS. The Advisor may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own
name for the account of the Company or the Operating Partnership or in the name of the Company and
the Operating Partnership and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and
disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Company or the Operating
Partnership, under such terms and conditions as the Directors may approve, provided that no funds
shall be commingled with the funds of the Advisor; and the Advisor shall from time to time render
appropriate accountings of such collections and payments to the Directors and to the auditors of
the Company, as applicable.

     7. RECORDS; ACCESS. The Advisor shall maintain appropriate records of all its activities
hereunder and make such records available for inspection by the Directors and by counsel, auditors
and authorized agents of the Company, at any time or from time to time during normal business
hours. The Advisor shall at all reasonable times have access to the books and records of the
Company and the Operating Partnership.

     8. LIMITATIONS ON ACTIVITIES. Anything else in this Agreement to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Advisor shall refrain from taking any action which, in its sole judgment made
in good faith, would (a) adversely affect the status of the Company as a REIT, (b) subject the
Company to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (c) violate any law,
rule, regulation or statement of policy of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over
the Company or its Shares, or otherwise not be permitted by the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws
of the Company, except if such action shall be ordered by the Directors, in

-9-

 

which case the Advisor shall notify promptly the Directors of the Advisor’s judgment of the
potential impact of such action and shall refrain from taking such action until it receives further
clarification or instructions from the Directors. In such event, the Advisor shall have no
liability for acting in accordance with the specific instructions of the Directors so given.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Advisor, its directors, officers, employees and members, and
partners, directors, officers, members and stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates shall not be
liable to the Company or to the Directors or Stockholders for any act or omission by the Advisor,
its directors, officers, employees, or members, and partners, directors, officers, members or
stockholders of the Advisor’s Affiliates taken or omitted to be taken in the performance of their
duties under this Agreement except as provided in Section 21 of this Agreement.

     9. RELATIONSHIP WITH DIRECTORS. Subject to Section 8 of this Agreement and to restrictions
advisable with respect to the qualification of the Company as a REIT, directors, managers, officers
and employees of the Advisor or an Affiliate of the Advisor or any corporate parents of an
Affiliate, may serve as a Director and as officers of the Company, except that no director, officer
or employee of the Advisor or its Affiliates who also is a Director or officer of the Company shall
receive any compensation from the Company for serving as a Director or officer other than
reasonable reimbursement for travel and related expenses incurred in attending meetings of the
Directors and no such Director shall be deemed an Independent Director for purposes of satisfying
the Director independence requirement set forth in the Articles of Incorporation.

     10. MANAGEMENT FEE.

          (a) The Advisor shall receive the Management Fee as compensation for services rendered
hereunder. The Management Fee will be comprised of two separate components: (1) a fixed annualized
rate component of 1.25% of the daily NAV (the “Fixed Component”) and (2) a performance
component (the “Performance Component”).

          (b) The Performance Component will not be paid for any calendar year in which the Annual Total
Return as a percentage of Invested Capital as of the last business day of such calendar year is
less than or equal to 7.0%. The Performance Component will equal 50.0% of the difference between
(i) the Annual Total Return and (ii) the amount required to provide the Company’s stockholders an
Annual Total Return of 7.0% on their invested capital (net of selling commissions) in the Company
for the measurement period (the “Priority Return”). In no event will the Performance
Component exceed 10.0% of the Annual Total Return in any calendar year. The Priority Return
calculation will reflect fluctuations in the actual number of Shares outstanding during the year,
such that for Shares outstanding for less than 12 months (because of new Share issuances and/or
Share redemptions) a pro rated Annual Total Return will be determined for the partial period those
Shares were outstanding based on the NAV per share associated with them. On a daily basis the
Advisor will utilize the annualized internal rate of return (or if such rate of return is negative,
zero) on stockholders’ Invested Capital starting from the last calendar day of the prior calendar
year (Day 1) and ending on the then current day (Day N). For such internal rate of return
calculation, (i) the beginning investment value shall be equal to the NAV at the end of Day 1
(after accrual of all fees and expenses attributable to that year), (ii) the ending investment
value shall be NAV after accrual of all expenses and distributions, but prior to any subscriptions
and redemptions, on Day N, and (iii) for each day between Day 1 and Day N net daily investment
inflows or outflows, as applicable, will be factored in, specifically all Share redemptions and
accrued distributions less the total of the gross proceeds the Company receives from the sale of
Shares in the Offering on such day.

          (c) The Management Fee will accrue daily and is payable in cash. The Fixed Component is
payable quarterly in arrears (after the close of business and NAV calculations for such day) and
the Performance Component is payable after the close of business on the last Business Day of each
calendar year during the term of this Agreement and calculation of NAV for such date. In the event
this Agreement is terminated or its term expires without renewal, the Management Fee will be
calculated and due and payable after the calculation of NAV on the Termination Date. If the
Management Fee is payable with respect to any partial calendar quarter or calendar year, the Fixed
Component will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during any partial calendar quarter
and the Performance Component will be prorated based on the number of days elapsed during and
Annual Total Return achieved for the period of such partial calendar year. The Management Fee will
be calculated in accordance with the calculation policy approved by the Board.

-10-

 

          (d) The Management Fee will be calculated using a detailed policy and procedure approved by
the Board, including a majority of the Independent Directors, and the Advisor, and such policy and
procedure shall be consistent with the description of the calculation of the Management Fee as set
forth herein.

     11. EXPENSES.

          (a) The cumulative Selling Commissions, Distribution Fees and Organizational and Offering
Expenses paid by the Company will not exceed 15.0% of Gross Proceeds from the sale of Shares in the
Primary Offering.

          (b) In addition to the compensation paid to the Advisor pursuant to Section 10 hereof, the
Company or the Operating Partnership shall pay directly or reimburse the Advisor for all of the
expenses paid or incurred by the Advisor in connection with the services it provides to the Company
and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to:

               (i) Organizational and Offering Expenses incurred on or after the date at which Shares are
first sold in the Offering; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not receive reimbursement for
Organization and Offering Expenses incurred before the date at which Shares are first sold in the
Offering; further provided that within 60 days after the end of the month in which an Offering
terminates, the Advisor shall reimburse the Company to the extent the Organizational and Offering
Expenses, Selling Commissions and Distribution Fees borne by the Company exceed 15.0% of the Gross
Proceeds raised in the completed Offering;

               (ii) Acquisition Expenses incurred in connection with the selection and acquisition of
Investments, including such expenses incurred related to assets pursued or considered but not
ultimately acquired by the Company, subject to limitations set forth in the Articles of
Incorporation;

               (iii) the actual cost of goods and services used by the Company and obtained from entities not
affiliated with the Advisor;

               (iv) interest and other costs for borrowed money, including discounts, points and other
similar fees;

               (v) taxes and assessments on income of the Company or Investments, taxes as an expense of
doing business and any other taxes otherwise imposed on the Company and its business, assets or
income;

               (vi) costs associated with insurance required in connection with the business of the Company
or by the Board;

               (vii) expenses of managing, improving, developing, operating and selling Investments, whether
payable to an Affiliate of the Company or a non-affiliated Person;

               (viii) all expenses in connection with payments to the Directors for attending meetings of the
Board and Stockholders;

               (ix) expenses connected with payments of Distributions in cash or otherwise made or caused to
be made by the Company to the Stockholders;

               (x) expenses of organizing, redomesticating, merging, liquidating or dissolving the Company or
of amending the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws;

               (xi) expenses of providing services for and maintaining communications with Stockholders,
including the cost of preparation, printing, and mailing annual reports and other Stockholder
reports, proxy statements and other reports required by governmental entities;

-11-

 

               (xii) administrative service expenses, including but not limited to personnel and related
employment costs incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates in performing the services described in
Section 3 hereof, including but not limited to reasonable salaries, bonuses and wages, benefits and
overhead of all employees directly involved in the performance of such services, provided that no
reimbursement shall be made for costs of such employees of the Advisor or its Affiliates to the
extent that such employees perform services for which the Advisor receives a separate fee; and

               (xiii) audit, accounting and legal fees and other fees for professional services relating to
the operations of the Company and all such fees incurred at the request, or on behalf of, the
Board, the Independent Directors or any committee of the Board.

          (c) Expenses incurred by the Advisor on behalf of the Company and the Operating Partnership
and payable pursuant to this Section 11 shall be reimbursed no less than monthly to the Advisor.
The Advisor shall prepare a statement documenting the expenses of the Company and the Operating
Partnership and the calculation of the Management Fee during each quarter, and shall deliver such
statement to the Company and the Operating Partnership within forty-five (45) days after the end of
each quarter.

     12. OTHER SERVICES. Should the Board request that the Advisor or any director, officer or
employee thereof render services for the Company and the Operating Partnership other than set forth
in Section 3, such services shall be separately compensated at such rates and in such amounts as
are agreed by the Advisor and the Independent Directors, subject to the limitations contained in
the Articles of Incorporation, and shall not be deemed to be services pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.

     13. REIMBURSEMENT TO THE ADVISOR. The Company shall not reimburse the Advisor at the end of
any fiscal quarter for Total Operating Expenses that in the four consecutive fiscal quarters then
ended (the “Expense Year”) exceeded (the “Excess Amount”) the greater of 2.0% of
Average Invested Assets or 25.0% of Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”) for such year
unless the Independent Directors determine that such excess was justified, based on unusual and
nonrecurring factors that the Independent Directors deem sufficient. If the Independent Directors
do not approve such excess as being so justified, any Excess Amount paid to the Advisor during a
fiscal quarter shall be repaid to the Company. If the Independent Directors determine such excess
was justified, then, within sixty (60) days after the end of any fiscal quarter of the Company for
which total reimbursed Total Operating Expenses for the Expense Year exceed the 2%/25% Guidelines,
the Advisor, at the direction of the Independent Directors, shall cause such fact to be disclosed
to the Stockholders in writing (or the Company shall disclose such fact to the Stockholders in the
next quarterly report of the Company or by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities
and Exchange Commission within sixty (60) days of such quarter end), together with an explanation
of the factors the Independent Directors considered in determining that such excess were justified.
The Company will ensure that such determination will be reflected in the minutes of the meetings
of the Board. All figures used in the foregoing computations shall be determined in accordance
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis.

     14. OTHER ACTIVITIES OF THE ADVISOR.

          (a) Relationship. Nothing herein contained shall prevent the Advisor or any of its
Affiliates from engaging in or earning fees from other activities, including, without limitation,
the rendering of advice to other Persons (including other REITs) and the management of other
programs advised, sponsored or organized by the Advisor or its Affiliates; nor shall this Agreement
limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, member, partner, employee, or stockholder of
the Advisor or its Affiliates to engage in or earn fees from any other business or to render
services of any kind to any other partnership, corporation, firm, individual, trust or association
and earn fees for rendering such services. The Advisor may, with respect to any investment in
which the Company is a participant, also render advice and service to each and every other
participant therein, and earn fees for rendering such advice and service. Specifically, it is
contemplated that the Company may enter into joint ventures or other similar co-investment
arrangements with certain Persons, and pursuant to the agreements governing such joint ventures or
arrangements, the Advisor may be engaged to provide advice and service to such Persons, in which
case the Advisor will earn fees for rendering such advice and service.

-12-

 

          (b) Time Commitment. The Advisor shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and their
respective employees, officers and agents to, devote to the Company such time as shall be
reasonably necessary to conduct the business and affairs of the Company in an appropriate manner
consistent with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that the Advisor and its
Affiliates and their respective employees, officers and agents may also engage in activities
unrelated to the Company and may provide services to Persons other than the Company or any of its
Affiliates.

          (c) Investment Opportunities. The Advisor shall use its best efforts to present to
the Company and the Operating Partnership a number of potential investment opportunities
appropriate for the portfolio of the Company and the Operating Partnership; provided, however, that
the Advisor may fulfill such obligation through one or more Sub-Advisors approved by the Board.
For so long as the Advisor has delegated its responsibilities hereunder with respect to identifying
investment opportunities for the Company and the Operating Partnership to a Sub-Advisor that uses
an allocation policy approved by the Board, the Advisor shall not be required to establish any
allocation policy as a result of such obligation with respect to potential investment opportunities
that may be identified by the Advisor or its Affiliates which might be made by the Company or the
Operating Partnership and by another investment program in which the Advisor or its Affiliate
advises or manages. During any period in which the Advisor has not delegated such responsibilities
to a Sub-Advisor approved by the Board, the Advisor shall allocate potential investment
opportunities in accordance with the Advisor’s or its Affiliate’s allocation policies, as such
allocation policies may be amended from time to time.

     15. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. The Company and the Operating Partnership, on the one hand,
and the Advisor on the other, are not partners or joint venturers with each other, and nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed to make them such partners or joint venturers or impose any
liability as such on either of them.

     16. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in force for a period of one year from
the Effective Date, subject to an unlimited number of successive one-year renewals upon mutual
consent of the parties. It is the duty of the Directors to evaluate the performance of the Advisor
annually before renewing the Agreement, and each such renewal shall be for a term of no more than
one year.

     17. TERMINATION BY THE PARTIES. This Agreement may be terminated (i) immediately by the
Company or the Operating Partnership for Cause or upon the bankruptcy of the Advisor or upon a
material breach of this Agreement by the Advisor; provided, that such material breach is not
capable of being cured or has not been cured within thirty (30) days after the giving of notice
thereof by the Company or the Operating Partnership to the Advisor; (ii) upon sixty (60) days
written notice without Cause by a majority of the Independent Directors; or (iii) upon sixty (60)
days written notice by the Advisor. The provisions of Sections 19 through 32 survive termination
of this Agreement.

     18. ASSIGNMENT TO AN AFFILIATE. This Agreement may be assigned by the Advisor to an Affiliate
with the approval of a majority of the Directors (including a majority of the Independent
Directors). The Advisor may assign any rights to receive fees or other payments under this
Agreement to any Person without obtaining the approval of the Directors. This Agreement shall not
be assigned by the Company or the Operating Partnership without the consent of the Advisor, except
in the case of an assignment by the Company or the Operating Partnership to a corporation, limited
partnership or other organization which is a successor to all of the assets, rights and obligations
of the Company or the Operating Partnership, in which case such successor organization shall be
bound hereunder and by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Company and the
Operating Partnership are bound by this Agreement.

     19. PAYMENTS TO AND DUTIES OF ADVISOR UPON TERMINATION.

          (a) After the Termination Date, the Advisor shall not be entitled to compensation for further
services hereunder except it shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Operating
Partnership within thirty (30) days after the effective date of such termination all unpaid
reimbursements of expenses and all earned but unpaid fees payable to the Advisor prior to
termination of this Agreement, subject to the 2%/25% Guidelines to the extent applicable.

          (b) The Advisor shall promptly upon termination:

-13-

 

               (i) pay over to the Company and the Operating Partnership all money collected and held for the
account of the Company and the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, after deducting
any accrued compensation and reimbursement for its expenses to which it is then entitled;

               (ii) deliver to the Board a full accounting, including a statement showing all payments
collected by it and a statement of all money held by it, covering the period following the date of
the last accounting furnished to the Board;

               (iii) deliver to the Board all assets, including all Investments, and documents of the Company
and the Operating Partnership then in the custody of the Advisor; and

               (iv) cooperate with the Company and the Operating Partnership to provide an orderly management
transition.

     20. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE COMPANY AND THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP. The Company and the
Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its Affiliates, including
their respective officers, directors, partners and employees (the “Indemnitees,” and each
an “Indemnitee”), from all liability, claims, damages or losses arising in the performance
of their duties hereunder, and related expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the
extent such liability, claims, damages or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by
insurance, and to the extent that such indemnification would not be inconsistent with the laws of
the State of Maryland, the Articles of Incorporation or the provisions of Section II.G of the NASAA
REIT Guidelines.

     21. INDEMNIFICATION BY ADVISOR. The Advisor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and
the Operating Partnership from contract or other liability, claims, damages, taxes or losses and
related expenses including attorneys’ fees, to the extent that such liability, claims, damages,
taxes or losses and related expenses are not fully reimbursed by insurance and are incurred by
reason of the Advisor’s bad faith, fraud, willful misfeasance, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of its duties; provided, however, that the Advisor shall not be held responsible for any
action of the Board in following or declining to follow any advice or recommendation given by the
Advisor.

     22. NON-SOLICITATION. During the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending one year
following the Termination Date, the Company shall not, without the Advisor’s prior written consent,
directly or indirectly, (i) solicit or encourage any person to leave the employment or other
service of the Advisor or its Affiliates, or (ii) hire, on behalf of the Company or any other
person or entity, any person who has left the employment within the one year period following the
termination of that person’s employment the Advisor or its Affiliates. During the period
commencing on the date hereof through and ending one year following the Termination Date, the
Company will not, whether for its own account or for the account of any other Person, intentionally
interfere with the relationship of the Advisor or its Affiliates with, or endeavor to entice away
from the Advisor or its Affiliates, any person who during the term of the Agreement is, or during
the preceding one-year period, was a tenant, co-investor, co-developer, joint venturer or other
customer of the Advisor or its Affiliates.

     23. NOTICES. Any notice, report or other communication required or permitted to be given
hereunder shall be in writing unless some other method of giving such notice, report or other
communication is required by the Articles of Incorporation, the Bylaws, or accepted by the party to
