	LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY.

(a)The debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company to third parties, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member (including the Managing Member) shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability solely by virtue of its being a Member or Managing Member of the Company or its ownership of its membership interest in the Company.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation on liability to third parties and any applicable statutory or common law limitation on liability among members of a limited liability company, and subject to the terms of Sections 12.1 and 12.2, the Members acknowledge and agree that each Member owes the other Members and the Company a limited duty of Due
Care in its dealings with and on behalf of the Company, but no fiduciary duty whatsoever. As applied to a Member, the term “Due Care” shall mean (i) to act in good faith and in a manner that the Member reasonably believes to be within the scope of its authority, and to refrain from engaging in grossly negligent or reckless conduct, intentional misconduct (including, without limitation, fraud, deceit and intentional or knowing misrepresentation or omission) or knowing violation of law with respect to the Company or Company Property, and (ii) with materially the same standard of care, skill and diligence customarily used under the circumstances by a prudent real estate professional occupying the same position and familiarity with such matters with respect to a real estate project comparable to the Property and located in the same market area as the Property, within the resources available to such Person and the limits of such Person’s authority hereunder. In performing its duties under this Agreement, each Member (including Managing Member) is entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements (including financial statements) of independent accountants and attorneys (including in-house counsel of any Member) retained by such Member or Company, reasonably believed by such Member to be within such accountant's or attorney's professional or expert competence, unless such Member is not acting in good faith or has knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

(c)Without limiting the foregoing and except as expressly and specifically provided in this Agreement or as directed in writing by all Members, no Member (including the Managing Member) shall act for, or assume any obligation or responsibility to any third party on behalf of the Company or any other Member. Neither the Company nor any other Member shall be liable for any obligations incurred in derogation of the preceding sentence, whether before or after the execution of this Agreement or the filing of the Company’s organizational documents, except to the extent expressly authorized hereby.

(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.4(b), at any time PECO GRP II is the

	(i)
	Rents and other income from the Property received by PECO GRP II, any Affiliate of PECO GRP II or those acting on behalf of either (other than a third party property manager) which rents and other income have not been applied to the payment of principal and interest on any loan secured by the Property or to operating or capital expenses of the Property, but which instead have been misappropriated or improperly diverted by PECO GRP II, any Affiliate of PECO GRP II or those acting on behalf of either (but not including a third party property manager or other third party independent contractor);

		
	(ii)
	Amounts necessary to repair damage to the Property caused by the breach of this Agreement or gross negligence of PECO GRP II, any Affiliate of PECO GRP II or those acting on behalf of either (but not including a third party property manager or other third party independent contractor);

	(iv)
	The amount of insurance loss proceeds which would have been available with respect to a casualty on the Property, but were not available due to the default by PECO GRP II or any Affiliate of PECO GRP II in carrying all insurance required by under this Agreement;

		
	(v)
	Damages suffered by Northwestern Mutual in connection with the Property as a result of fraud, knowing misrepresentation, by PECO GRP II, any Affiliate of PECO GRP II or any other person or entity acting on behalf of PECO GRP II or any Affiliate of PECO GRP II (but not including a third party property manager or other independent contractor);

		
	(vi)
	All security deposits under leases of the Property or any portion of the Property collected by PECO GRP II, any Affiliate of PECO GRP II or any other person or entity acting on behalf of PECO GRP II or any Affiliate of PECO GRP II (other than a third party property manager or other third party independent contractor) and not refunded to the tenants thereunder in accordance with their respective leases, applied in accordance with such leases or law, and all advance rents collected by PECO GRP II, any Affiliate of PECO GRP II, or any other person or entity acting on behalf of PECO GRP II or any Affiliate of PECO GRP II (other than a third party property manager) and not applied in accordance with the leases of the Property; and

		
	(vii)
	Reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys' fees and expenses incurred to the extent suit is brought to collect any of the amounts described in subparagraphs (i) through

(vi) above.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Managing Member or an Affiliate of PECO GRP II acting as the Property Manager under the Management & Operating Agreement, shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to this Section 4.4(d) to the extent such action or failure to act is authorized by the terms of this Agreement or by the Members hereto, or to the extent PECO GRP II or its Affiliate is prohibited or prevented from acting by the other Member. In the event PECO GRP II provides any indemnification under this Section 4.4(d) with respect to any of its Affiliates, PECO GRP II will be subrogated to the rights of the Company with respect to reimbursement of such amounts from such Affiliate.

		
	4.5
	INDEMNIFICATION.

(a)Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Members, such other Members’ Affiliates and agents, their respective trustees, directors, officers and employees, and the Company against any loss, liability, damage or expense arising out of its
breach of its duties set forth in Section 4.4 or any other breach of this Agreement. Each Member further agrees, subject to the Grace Period in Section 5.4, that any non-breaching Member may bring a legal action for damages or an equitable action for other appropriate relief to enforce the foregoing indemnification rights, whether or not an equitable accounting has been sought or dissolution has occurred and notwithstanding the nature of the Members' relationship with each other. In the event PECO GRP II provides any indemnification under this Section 4.5(a) with respect to any of its Affiliates, PECO GRP II will be subrogated to the rights of the Company with respect to reimbursement of such amounts from such Affiliate.

(b)The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, from and against any loss, liability, damage or expense, any Member (including the Managing Member) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he was or is a Member of the Company, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in effect on the date hereof and to such greater extent as applicable law may hereafter from time to time permit; provided that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply unless (i) the Member's actions giving rise to such third-party claims have been authorized pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) such claims do not directly or indirectly result from a breach by such Member of this Agreement (including, without limitation, of such Member's duties under Section 4.4), or from the breach of a legal or contractual duty owed to the Company by an Affiliate of such Member.

ARTICLE V
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND COMMITMENTS

		
	5.1
	NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION.

As its initial capital contribution, Northwestern Mutual, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, will contribute to the Company the Northwestern Mutual Initial Capital Contribution set forth above in Article I. Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a schedule of the allocation of each Member’s Initial Capital Contribution for each Property.

		
	5.2
	PECO GRP II INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION.

PECO GRP II, upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, will contribute or cause to be contributed to the Company, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Project Entities to be contributed thereunder. The PECO GRP II Initial Capital Contribution as set forth above in Article I reflects the fair market value of the contributed Project Entities at the time of such contribution net of the Special Distribution and payments and adjustments under the Contribution Agreement. Such contribution is PECO GRP II's Initial Capital Contribution and is contributed solely in consideration for PECO GRP II's Respective Interest hereunder. Attached hereto as Exhibit G is a schedule of the allocation of each Member’s Initial Capital Contribution for each Property.
		
	5.3
	ADDITIONAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

If at any time, and from time to time during the term of this Agreement additional cash in excess of Distributable Cash and other funds available to the Company is required by the Company in order to pay (i) all expenses of conducting its business as set forth in the Operating Budget, (ii) its debts and obligations as they mature under any indebtedness for borrowed money under a performing loan secured by the Property, (iii) the costs of maintenance, repair and replacements, necessary to comply with any applicable law, or to remedy an emergency or life safety issue, and (iv) for such other costs as may be agreed upon by all of the Members, then within thirty (30) days after the date or dates on which notice is delivered to the Members by such Member stating in good faith that such additional cash is required, each Member shall make a capital contribution equal to its Respective Interest of such required additional cash (capital contributions required to be made pursuant to this Section 5.3 are hereinafter referred to as “Additional Contributions”). Either Member may offset all or any portion of an Additional Contribution due from it against the same amount of Distributable Cash or other Company funds distributable to it within thirty (30) days after the notice requiring Additional Contributions is received by such Member.  Such offset shall be effected by delivering timely notice thereof to the Managing Member. The Members agree to make any capital contribution for the costs to remedy an emergency or life safety issue as promptly as is reasonably feasible given the nature of the emergency.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of all the Members shall be required if at any time, and from time to time during the term of this Agreement, additional cash in excess of Distributable Cash and other funds available to the Company is required by the Company in order to pay its debts and obligations as they mature under any indebtedness for borrowed money under a non-performing loan secured by the Property.

		
	5.4
	FAILURE TO MAKE CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.

If for any reason a Member fails to make an Initial Capital Contribution under Section 5.1 or 5.2 or an Additional Contribution required under Section 5.3 (thereby becoming a Defaulting Member), and provided the remaining Member (the “Non-Defaulting Member”) has made its required Initial Capital Contribution or Additional Contribution, as applicable, such Non- Defaulting Member may, but shall not be obligated to, (i) at any time after the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, initiate the buy/sell provisions of Section 11.1 hereof thirty (30) days after the date such Member became a Defaulting Member (the “Grace Period”), and during the period such Member remains a Defaulting Member, and/or (ii) at any time following the Grace Period and provided the buy/sell provisions of Section 11.1 hereof have not been exercised, institute suit in the name of the Company in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain a judgment for damages and/or specific performance for the payment of the Defaulting Member’s unfunded Initial Capital Contribution or Additional Capital Contribution, 

plus, in either case, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and/or (iii) without regard to the Grace Period, make a Default Loan to the Defaulting Member in accordance with Section 5.5 below.

		
	5.5
	DEFAULT LOANS.

Whether or not the Company has or shall institute suit against the Defaulting Member having failed to make a required Initial Capital Contribution or Additional Contribution, any other Member may, at its election, make a loan (a “Default Loan”) to the Defaulting Member of all of the amount which the Defaulting Member was obligated to contribute to the Company.
The Defaulting Member hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs any other Member to advance the proceeds of each Default Loan to the Company. Receipt by the Company of such proceeds shall constitute a capital contribution of, and consideration received by, the Defaulting Member and such Default Loan shall be legally enforceable to the same extent and in the same manner, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as if such proceeds were paid directly to the Defaulting Member. The making of a Default Loan to the Defaulting Member shall not cure the default by the Defaulting Member. Each Default Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time remaining from the date advanced until repaid in an amount equal to the aggregate for each month that the Default Loan is outstanding of the interest for each month calculated by multiplying the balance of the Default Loan during said month by the sum of the rate on the 10 Year Treasury as of the first day of the applicable month plus 600 basis points; provided, however, that in no event shall such interest rate exceed the maximum rate permitted by law. All payments made thereon shall be applied first toward payment of unpaid accrued interest and then (if any remains) toward payment of principal. At any time following the expiration of the applicable Grace Period, each Default Loan, both principal and interest, shall be due and payable from the Defaulting Member to the Member who advanced such Default Loan upon demand by said lending Member. The lending Member shall have and is hereby granted a first and prior lien and security interest upon the interest of the Defaulting Member in the Company and all amounts, payments and proceeds becoming distributable or payable to such Defaulting Member to secure repayment of a Default Loan. If suit or other proceedings in any court shall be instituted for collection of a Default Loan or enforcement of the lien and security interest securing payment of same, the Defaulting Member shall also be liable for all court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees thereby incurred, payment of which shall likewise be secured by said security interest and lien. A Member who becomes a Defaulting Member shall continue to be a Defaulting Member until all Default Loans made to such Member have been fully repaid, both principal and interest, and all amounts due from the Defaulting Member to the Company have been fully paid. All amounts, Distributable Cash, Capital Transaction Proceeds and any other payments and proceeds which become distributable or payable to a Defaulting Member shall be paid, first, to pay off all Default Loans made to the Defaulting Member (in which case such amounts shall be treated as if the Company distributed or paid, as applicable, such amounts to the Defaulting Member and the Defaulting Member used such amounts to repay, in whole or in part, any Default Loan made to the Defaulting Member), and second (if any remains), to pay all amounts due the Company from the Defaulting Member with only the remainder, if any, to be paid to the Defaulting Member.

		
	5.6
	DEFAULTING MEMBER'S LOSS OF RIGHTS.

A Defaulting Member shall have no rights with respect to the management, operation or control of the Company or its business and, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement providing for the consent or agreement of all Members, the remaining Members

alone shall have the full power and authority to make all decisions and take all action with respect to the management, operation and control of the Company, excepting only (i) that the Defaulting Member shall retain approval rights over decisions to (A) sell or otherwise convey any Project Entity, Property or portion thereof, (B) amend, restate or otherwise modify this Agreement or the organizational documents of the Company or any Project Entity, or (C) take or not take any action that would trigger liability under any guaranties given by such Defaulting Member or its Affiliates, and (ii) as otherwise provided herein. When a Defaulting Member has repaid all sums due the Company and cured all other conditions that resulted in its becoming a Defaulting Member, it shall once again have all of its rights and privileges hereunder.

ARTICLE VII 
TAX & ACCOUNTING

		
	7.1
	CAPITAL ACCOUNT; ALLOCATIONS.

(a)Capital Account. For federal income tax purposes, the Company shall establish and maintain a Capital Account for each Member in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. It is intended that appropriate adjustments will thereby be made to the Capital Accounts to give effect to any income, gain, loss or deduction (or items thereof) that is allocated pursuant to this Agreement.    The Members may, in their discretion, increase or decrease the Capital Accounts of the Members to reflect a revaluation of Company property on the Company’s books and records, in accordance with the rules set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(e) and (f). Following any such revaluation pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the Member’s Capital Account will be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss computed for book purposes with respect to such property.

		
	(b)
	Allocations.

(i)Allocations to Capital Accounts. Except as otherwise provided herein, each item of income, gain, loss or deduction of the Company (determined in accordance with U.S. tax principles as applied to the maintenance of capital accounts) shall be allocated among the Capital Accounts of the Members with respect to each applicable period, as of the end of such period, in a manner that as closely as possible gives economic effect, within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, to the provisions of Section 6.2, Section 6.3 and Section 9.3 and the other relevant provisions of this Agreement.

(ii)Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b)(i), items of income, gain, loss and deduction in each taxable year (or other applicable period) shall be allocated to the Members (A) to comply with the “minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), (B) to comply with the “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), (C) to comply with the “qualified income offset” provision in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(ii)(d), (D) to effect any nonrecourse deductions as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1) (which shall be allocated to their respective Members in proportion to their Respective Interests), (E) to effect any partner nonrecourse deductions as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) (which shall be allocated to the applicable Members who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to the partner nonrecourse debt to which such deductions are attributable), and (F) in a manner that does not cause or increase the deficit balance in any Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. If any allocation would cause or increase the deficit balance in any Member’s Adjusted Capital Account, then such allocation shall be reallocated among the other Members in proportion to their Respective Interests, but in a manner that does not cause or increase the deficit balance in any other Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. For purposes of this Agreement, “Adjusted Capital Account” means, with respect to any Member,
such Member’s Capital Account as of the end of any taxable year (i) increased by any amounts which the Company is obligated to restore or deemed obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 

1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2) or the penultimate sentence of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), and (ii) decreased by such Member’s share of the items described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), and (6).

(iii)Tax Allocations. Allocations each year of items of U.S. taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be made among the Members in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction under Section 7.1(b)(i) or Section 7.1(b)(ii), except that such items with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and its initial value under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder using an allocation methodology that is reasonable and consistent with the purpose of Code Section 704(c) as reasonably determined by the Members; provided, however, that the “traditional method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) shall be used with respect to the contributed Project Entities. In the event of a revaluation of Company property, subsequent allocations of U.S. taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any affected Company asset shall take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its new asset value in a manner consistent with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder under an allocation methodology that is reasonable and consistent with the purposes of Code Section 704(c) as reasonably determined by the Managing Member; provided, however, that the “traditional method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) shall be used with respect to the contributed Project Entities.

		
	(c)
	Other tax provisions.

(i)In the event that any part of an interest in the Company is transferred between the Members or to another person or entity in any fiscal year, items of Company income, gain, loss and deduction allocated to the Members for each fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Code Section 706 and Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4, using any method or convention permitted by law and selected by the Members. The Members agree that any such selection is made by “agreement of the partners” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4(f).

(ii)The Company shall allocate “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Company under the “additional method,” pursuant to which the Company shall first allocate any excess nonrecourse liability to a Member (or any successor to such Member) up to the amount of built-in gain that is allocable to such Member (or successor) on section 704(c) property contributed by such Member (or its predecessor) to the Company or property for which reverse section 704(c) allocations are applicable to the extent that such built-in gain exceeds the gain described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2) with respect to such property, as described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3).
		
	7.2
	TAX RETURNS.

Federal and state income tax returns of the Company shall be prepared, signed and timely filed by the Company's independent accountants.

If any Member so requests, the independent accountants shall file an application for extension of time for filing the returns; otherwise, or if no further extension is available, such returns, revised if necessary, shall be filed in a timely fashion.

		
	7.3
	TAX REPORTING.

Company income shall be reported, for tax purposes, under the accrual method of accounting. The annual accounting period for the Company for tax purposes shall be the fiscal year of the Company.

	7.8
	PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTATIVE

(a)PECO GRP II , or such other Member designated by agreement of all of the Members, shall be the initial “Partnership Representative” of the Company pursuant to Section 6223(a) of the Code. Any Person or entity that the Partnership Representative designates to interact with the Internal Revenue Service shall be treated as, and shall be subject to the requirements and obligations of, the Partnership Representative for purposes of this Section 7.8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Northwestern Mutual shall have the unilateral right to remove PECO GRP II as the Partnership Representative at any time. In the event Northwestern Mutual exercises the right to remove PECO GRP II as the Partnership Representative, or in the event PECO GRP II elects to resign as Partnership Representative, a new Partnership Representative shall be appointed by agreement of all of the Members. Any failure by the Partnership Representative to obtain consent for any of the actions specified in this Section 7.8, provided that the withholding of consent was not unreasonable, shall constitute a breach of this Agreement or such other agreement that has been entered into with a person or entity acting as the Partnership Representative, and each Member shall have all remedies against the Partnership Representative pursuant to this Agreement or such other agreement with respect to any loss suffered by such Member (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees).

(b)The Partnership Representative shall inform each Member of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as Partnership Representative by giving notice thereof within ten days after becoming aware thereof and, within such time, shall forward to each Member copies of all significant written communications it may receive in such capacity. The Partnership Representative shall provide to each Member a copy of any proposed communication with any taxing authority at least five (5) business days before submission for prior written approval by the Members, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that no approval, rejection, or comments to the proposed communication is received
within such five (5) business day period, the Partnership Representative may then submit such communication to the appropriate authority. The Partnership Representative shall not extend the statute of limitations, settle any tax audit, proposed adjustment, or other proceeding on behalf of the Company, or make payments to any taxing authority in connection with a settlement of any audit, proposed adjustment, or other proceeding without the consent of all of the Members, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Partnership Representative is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by any federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith. Unless otherwise agreed by all of the Members, the Partnership Representative shall, if permitted under Section 6221(b), cause the Company to elect out of the BBA Partnership Audit Rules.

(c)In the event the Company is liable for any imputed underpayment with respect to items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction or credit, the Partnership Representative shall, unless otherwise 

agreed by all of the Members, cause the Company to make the election under Section 6226 of the Code in the manner provided by the Internal Revenue Service within 45 days after the date of the notice of a final partnership adjustment. Upon making such election, the Partnership Representative shall engage a certified public accountant and/or tax attorney on behalf of the Company to assist the Partnership Representative in determining in a reasonable manner each Member’s share of the adjusted items as set forth in the notice of final partnership adjustment, and each such Member shall take such adjustment into account as required under Section 6226(b) of the Code and shall be liable for any related, income tax, interest, penalty, or additional amount. If or to the extent that the election under Section 6226 of the Code election is ineffective and the Company is held directly liable for any additional income tax, interest, penalty, or additional amount under the Code or other applicable law as a result of an adjustment to any of the Company’s federal, state, or local income tax returns, each Member shall be required, upon thirty (30) days written demand from the Partnership Representative, to pay the Company its share (as reasonably determined by a certified public accountant engaged by the Partnership Representative on behalf of the Company) of any additional tax, interest, penalty, and additional amount penalty due.

(d)In the event the Company (i) is liable for, or is allocated a share of, any imputed underpayment with respect to items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit of an entity in which the Company owns a direct or indirect interest and (ii) is required to make a payment with respect to such liability, then each Member shall be required, upon thirty (30) days written demand from the Partnership Representative, to pay the Company its share (as reasonably determined by the Partnership Representative upon consultation with a certified public accountant or tax attorney engaged by the Partnership Representative) of such liability.

Each Member will provide such cooperation and assistance, including executing and filing forms
or other statements and providing information about such Member, as is reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative to enable the Company to satisfy any applicable tax reporting or compliance requirements, to make any tax election or to qualify for an exception from or reduced rate of tax or other tax benefit or be relieved of liability for any tax regardless of whether such requirement, tax benefit, or tax liability existed on the date such Member was admitted to the Company. If a Member fails to provide any such forms, statements, or other information requested by the Partnership Representative, such Member will be required to indemnify and pay to the Company its share of any tax deficiency paid or payable by the Company that is due as a result of such failure (as reasonably determined by the Partnership Representative) and any additional costs associated therewith. Any deficiency for taxes imposed on any Member (including penalties, additions to tax or interest imposed with respect to such taxes, and any taxes imposed pursuant to Code Section 6226) shall be paid by such Member and if required to be paid (and actually paid) by the Company, will be recoverable from such Member. The Partnership Representative shall not retain a certified public accountant or tax attorney on the part of the Company pursuant to this Section 7.8 without first obtaining the consent of all of the Members, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however, that such consent shall not be required if the Partnership Representative retains Deloitte LLP or KPMG LLP for audit matters or tax matters, respectively, with respect to the Company.

(f)Any amounts paid to the Company by a Member pursuant to this Section 7.8 shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution for purposes of this Agreement. Any amounts paid by the Company on behalf of a Member that are not otherwise reimbursed by a Member shall constitute a distribution to such Member. The Company shall seek reimbursement for any payment made by the Company out of Company funds on behalf of any Member pursuant to this Section 7.8 unless otherwise agreed by all of the Members. The Managing Member may cause such allocations to be made among the Members as necessary to reflect any items of income or loss associated with the payment of a Company liability as set forth in this Section 7.8.

(f)At the closing on the Buy/Sell Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay Seller, in cash, the amount determined in (b) above (any earnest money actually deposited being credited against such amount) and the Seller shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser assignments of interest, special warranty deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance and other instruments as the Purchaser may reasonably require, to give it good and indefeasible title to all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Company and of the Company's right, title and interest in and to the Company Assets and the Other Assets, and the Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Purchaser its attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to carry out and enforce the provisions of this Section 11.1. At the closing on the Buy/Sell Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay

all Company liabilities, including, if required by the lender thereof, any loan in full including, without limitation, the applicable prepayment fee. Seller and Purchaser shall each, in proportion to its Respective Interest as of the date of the Offering Notice, pay all closing costs, including, without limitation, escrow costs and transfer taxes. Without limiting the remedies available to the other party, if the Purchaser shall breach its obligations described above in this clause (f) (such Purchaser being then referred to as a “Defaulting Purchaser”), Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain the Defaulting Purchaser’s earnest money and shall have the option, exercisable within sixty (60) days of default by the Defaulting Purchaser in its obligation to close its purchase under this Section 11.1, of substituting itself as Purchaser under this Section 11.1 (such Seller being then referred to as a “Substituted Purchaser”). Such option shall be exercised by giving notice to the Defaulting Purchaser of such exercise and by depositing, within five (5) days after such notice, earnest money equal to 10% of the Specified Valuation Amount with an independent and neutral party reasonably selected by the Substituted Purchaser, whereupon, for purposes of (e) and (f) above, the Substituted Purchaser shall become the Purchaser and the Defaulting Purchaser shall become the Seller.

(g)Notwithstanding the provisions of Article VI, no distribution of any kind shall be made after the date of receipt of an Offering Notice served pursuant to this Article XI without the written consent of all Members.

(h)The Purchaser (or Substituted Purchaser) shall, upon deposit of the earnest money required by this Section 11.1, and upon written notice thereof to the other Member, have the option to immediately become the Managing Member and irrevocably remain so unless the Purchaser (or Substituted Purchaser) shall default in its obligations under this Section 11.1.

(i)Unless otherwise required by any existing loan, if the Seller or any Affiliate thereof is a Guarantor, then at the closing referenced in clause (e) above, and as a condition precedent thereto, (i) the Purchaser shall pay off, or otherwise satisfy and discharge in full, the lien of any loan or any refinancing thereof encumbering the Project, or (ii) with respect to any guaranty given to a third party (and provided such guaranty shall have been consented to by the Members to the extent required pursuant to this Agreement), the Purchaser shall do one of the following, at its option, solely with respect to post closing liabilities arising in connection with the Project: (x) secure a release of such Guarantor from such post-closing liabilities from the beneficiary of such guaranty, (y) provide an indemnity of Guarantor for such post-closing liabilities in a form and from a creditworthy indemnitor reasonably satisfactory to Guarantor, or
(z) pay off, or otherwise satisfy and discharge in full, the obligations which are the subject of such guaranty. The Members acknowledge and agree that their obligations under Article XIV shall survive the Buy/Sell Closing Date.

		
	11.2
	FORCED SALE WITH FIRST OFFER REQUIREMENT.

(a)Subject to the terms and provisions of any existing loan documents and the balance of this Section 11.2, at any time from and after two (2) years after the date hereof and provided the buy-sell process described above in Section 11.1 is not then being conducted, either
Member shall have the right to cause the Managing Member to cause the Company to sell in whole but not in part, up to one (1)1 Project per calendar year to a bona fide third party, subject to the Member initiating the sales process (the “Initiating Member”) by first making a written offer to sell such Project to the other Member (the “Recipient Member”) based on a Specified Valuation Amount (determined in 

accordance with Section 11.1(a)(ii) above, but for purposes of this Section 11.3 shall be with respect to the applicable Project instead of the Company Assets), and a purchase price determined in accordance with Section 11.1(b) above with respect to the applicable Project instead of the Company Assets, provided by the Initiating Member. The Recipient Member shall have 30 days following receipt of the written offer stating the Specified Valuation Amount (the “Forced Sale Option Period”) to decide whether or not to purchase the Project and post a non-refundable deposit with an independent and neutral party reasonably satisfactory to the Initiating Member (the “Forced Sale Deposit”) equal to 2.5% of the Specified Valuation Amount and another 45 days following the expiration of the Forced Sale Option Period to close on the purchase (the “Forced Sale Closing Period”) if the Recipient Member selects this option. If the Recipient Member does not notify the Initiating Member of its election and timely make the Forced Sale Deposit prior to the expiration of the Forced Sale Option Period, the Recipient Member shall for all purposes be conclusively deemed to have elected to decline the option to purchase the Project.
If the Recipient Member chooses (or is deemed to have chosen) not to purchase the Project, then the Initiating Member shall have up to 180 days from the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Forced Sale Option Period or (ii) the date of Recipient Member’s notice to the Initiating Member that Recipient Member has declined the option to purchase the Project (the “Forced Sale Marketing Option Period”), to cause the Members to cause the Company to close a sale of the Project to a bona fide third party at a price not less than 95% of the Specified Valuation Amount upon terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to both Members. If such a sale does not occur within the Forced Sale Marketing Option Period, either Member would need to re-start the process described herein in order to cause a sale of the Project in accordance with this Section
11.2. If the Recipient Member posts the Forced Sale Deposit but defaults in its obligation to close on the purchase of the Project, then the Initiating Member may keep the Forced Sale Deposit as liquidated damages and will have up to 180 days from the expiration of the Forced Sale Closing Period to close on a sale of the Project to a bona fide third party at a price not less than 95% of the Specified Valuation Amount upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Initiating Member. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, upon receipt of the Specified Valuation Amount by the Recipient Member, the Members shall be prohibited from initiating the buy-sell process described above in Section 11.1 until the expiration of the 180-day period set forth above.

(b)Upon the exercise of the election by the Recipient Member to purchase the Project, if so elected, the Recipient Member shall post the required Forced Sale Deposit with an independent and neutral party reasonably satisfactory to the Initiating Member, the title insurance company which will issue the title policies at the closing being satisfactory. The deposit shall be applied against the purchase price at the closing referenced below, or shall be

1 Note to Draft: Change made to reflect the Seed 2 LOI.
paid to the Initiating Member as liquidated damages in the event of default by the Recipient Member in its obligations under this Section 11.2. If Recipient Member fails to deposit timely such earnest money as provided above, Recipient Member shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Project.

(c)If the Recipient Member elected to purchase the Project pursuant to this Section 11.2, the Recipient Member shall fix a closing date (the “Forced Sale Closing Date”) not later than forty five (45) days following the expiration of the Forced Sale Option Period. The closing shall take place on a date reasonably designated by the Recipient Member, with the office of the title insurance company referenced in (b) above being a satisfactory location.

(d)If the Recipient Member elected to purchase the Project pursuant to this Section 11.2, at the closing on the Forced Sale Closing Date, the Recipient Member shall pay Initiating Member, in cash, the amount determined in (a) above ((any earnest money actually deposited being credited against such amount) and the Initiating Member shall execute and deliver to the Recipient Member assignments of interest, instruments of conveyance and other instruments as the Recipient Member may reasonably require, to give it good and indefeasible title to the Project. Recipient Member and Initiating Member shall each, in proportion to their Respective Interest as of the date of the Offering Notice, pay all closing costs, including, without limitation, escrow costs and transfer taxes. If the Initiating Member shall breach its obligations described above in this clause (d), without limiting any other remedies available to the Recipient Member at law or in equity (including the right to specific performance), Recipient Member shall have the right and power to take, within sixty (60) days thereafter, all steps and to execute such documents necessary to effect the sale contemplated hereby without the signature of Initiating Member or its Affiliates on any documents required in connection therewith. Initiating Member hereby grants to Recipient Member an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to take the steps referred to in the immediately preceding sentence and/or execute such documents on the Initiating Member’s behalf if such Member fails to timely do so. If the Forced Sale results in the sale of a Project Entity, upon the closing on the Forced Sale Closing Date, the Company shall cease to be a member of the Project Entity and shall have no further rights under the governing documents of such Project Entity, and the Recipient Member shall have the right to amend and restate such governing documents to reflect the foregoing.

(e)Unless otherwise required by any existing loan, if the Initiating Member or any Affiliate thereof is a Guarantor, then at the closing referenced in clause (d) above, and as a condition precedent thereto, (i) the Recipient Member shall pay off, or otherwise satisfy and discharge in full, the lien of any loan or any refinancing thereof encumbering the Project, or (ii) with respect to any Guaranty given to a third party (and provided such Guaranty shall have been Consented to by the Members to the extent required pursuant to this Agreement), the Recipient Member shall do one of the following, at its option, solely with respect to post closing liabilities arising in connection with the Project: (x) secure a release of such Guarantor from such post- closing liabilities from the beneficiary of such Guaranty, (y) provide an indemnity of Guarantor for such post-closing liabilities in a form and from a creditworthy indemnitor reasonably satisfactory to Guarantor, or (z) pay off, or otherwise satisfy and discharge in full, the obligations which are the subject of such Guaranty. The Members acknowledge and agree that their obligations under Article XIV shall survive the Forced Sale Closing Date.

ARTICLE XII
OTHER PROPERTY AND BUSINESS; CONFLICTS

		
	12.1
	OTHER PROPERTY AND BUSINESS.

It is understood and agreed that any Member, including Managing Member, may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, whether or not in competition with the Company, including, but not limited to, the real estate business in all its phases, which shall include, without limitation, ownership, operation, management, syndication and development of real property, and neither the Company nor any other Member shall have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom. The Members shall not be obligated to present any investment opportunity or prospective economic 

advantage to the Company that is not directly related to the Property, even if the opportunity is of the character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company. It is further understood and agreed that any Member may make decisions in its own interest without considering the interests of the other Members or the Company; provided, however, the Members acknowledge and agree that each Member (including the Managing Member) owes the other Members and the Company a limited duty of Due Care in its dealings with and on behalf of the Company as required under Section 4.4, and any such decision shall not violate said duty of Due Care.

		
	12.2
	CONFLICTS OF INTEREST.

Notwithstanding that it may constitute a conflict of interest, the Members may, and may cause their Affiliates to, engage in any transaction (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service, or the establishment of any salary, other compensation, or other terms of employment) with the Company so long as such transaction is not expressly prohibited by this Agreement and so long as the terms and conditions of such transaction, on an overall basis, are fair and reasonable to the Company and are at least as favorable to the Company as those that are generally available from persons capable of similarly performing them and in similar transactions between parties operating at arm's length, and provided that a majority of the Members having no interest in such transaction (other than their interests as Members) affirmatively vote or consent in writing to approve the transaction.

    ARTICLE XIII
REIT PROTECTION PROVISIONS

		
	13.1
	GENERALLY.

The Members acknowledge and agree that PECO GRP II is an Affiliate of PECO REIT III and that PECO REIT III is a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “REIT”) and is therefore subject to the requirements set forth in Code Sections 856 through 859. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Member acknowledges and agrees that, for so long as PECO REIT III (which term also refers to any successor to PECO
REIT III, whether by merger or otherwise, that also is intended to qualify as a REIT) directly or indirectly owns interests in the Company, through PECO GRP II or otherwise, the Company and each Project Entity shall be operated in such a manner so that PECO REIT III can continue to so qualify as a REIT and avoid U.S. federal income and excise tax liability to the extent permitted under the Code. The Company shall, promptly upon the request of PECO GRP II , make available to PECO GRP II all data and information in the possession of the Company which is determined by PECO GRP II to be necessary or helpful to (1) determine the tax treatment of PECO REIT III, or (2) monitor PECO REIT III’s compliance with the requirements relating to the status of PECO REIT III as a REIT. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Article XIII and any other provision of this Agreement, the terms of this Article XIII shall control in regards to avoiding (or minimizing) any risk that could cause PECO REIT III to lose its qualification as a REIT.

		
	13.2
	COVENANTS.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or otherwise, the Members acknowledge and agree that neither the Company nor any Project Entity shall, without the prior written consent of 

PECO GRP II:

(a)directly or indirectly acquire (whether by purchase, contribution, distribution, operation of law, or otherwise) or own any equity interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, or other entity, except in the case of interests in money market accounts or in an entity that is either (1) disregarded as separate from the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes or (2) treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (subject to the condition that such disregarded entity or partnership shall have agreed to be bound by the entirety of this Article XIII);

(b)directly or indirectly acquire (whether by purchase, contribution, distribution, operation of law, or otherwise), own, or originate any loan or debt instrument, or consent to any modification, alteration, or amendment of any of the same; provided that this Section 13.2(b) shall not restrict the Company’s ownership of bank time deposits (including interests in money market accounts);

(c)directly or indirectly enter into any lease with (A) a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if PECO REIT III would be considered to own (x) ten percent (10%) or more of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of such entity or (y) stock of such entity possessing ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of such entity entitled to vote, or (B) an entity that is not a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, if PECO REIT III would be considered to own an interest of ten percent (10%) or more in the assets or net profits of such entity, with ownership by PECO REIT III in either case determined taking into account the rules for constructive ownership described in Section 318(a) of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code (a “Related Party Tenant”);
(d)directly or indirectly enter into any lease which provides for rent based on any person’s or entity’s net income or profits, provided that this limitation shall not apply to a lease that provides for rent based on gross revenues;

(f)directly or indirectly permit any sublease or license of any portion of any property if either (A) the rent or other amounts to be paid by the proposed subtenant or licensee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by such proposed subtenant or licensee from the property, or (B) the sublessee or licensee, as the case may be, would be a Related Party Tenant;

(g)directly or indirectly permit any assignment of a lease (or sublease or license) of any portion of any property if either (A) any amounts to be paid by the proposed assignee thereunder to the assignor would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by such proposed subtenant or licensee from any property, or (B) the assignee would be a Related Party Tenant;

(h)enter into any lease which provides for the rental of personal property, except a 

lease which provides for the rental of both personal property and real property and in which the rent attributable to such personal property for the taxable year does not exceed twelve percent (12%) of the total rent for the taxable year attributable to both the real and personal property leased under, or in connection with, such lease (as determined pursuant to Code Section 856(d)(1));

(i)elect to be taxed as, or otherwise take any action or position the effect or import of would be that the Company, any Project Entity, or any of their subsidiaries is or would be treated as, other than a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(j)provide services or amenities at any property that are (i) not customarily provided to tenants of comparable properties in the same geographic area, unless such services or amenities are provided by an entity that would be a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (as defined in Section 856(l) of the Code) with respect to PECO REIT III (a “TRS”), or (ii) primarily for the convenience of the tenant, unless such services or amenities are provided either by an entity that
(A) would be a TRS or (B) would qualify as an “independent contractor” (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) with respect to PECO REIT III from which PECO REIT III does not directly or indirectly derive any income;

ordinary course of its rental business, such as rent from occupancy of space, to the extent such assets would exceed ten percent (10%) of the total assets of the Company;

(m)directly or indirectly derive income in any taxable year other than rent from occupancy of real property and associated personal property, interest income from bank time deposits or gain from sale of properties that satisfy the requirements of the prohibited transaction safe harbor set forth in Section 857(b)(6)(C) of the Code with respect to PECO REIT III, to the extent such income would exceed three percent (3%) of the total gross income of the Company for such year;

(n)sell, dispose, convey or otherwise transfer real property (or interests therein) in a manner that fails to satisfy the requirements of the prohibited transaction safe harbor set forth in Section 857(b)(6)(C) of the Code with respect to PECO REIT III;

(o)take any other action, if the Company or any Project Entity is informed in writing by PECO GRP II in the exercise of PECO GRP II ’s reasonable judgment, that such action could reasonably be expected to cause PECO REIT III to lose its qualification as a REIT as a result of such specific action; or

		
	(p)
	commit to do any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE XIV GUARANTEES

		
	14.1
	ALLOCATION OF GUARANTY LIABILITY.

Subject to Section 14.3 below, liability under any guaranties or indemnities given by any Member or an Affiliate of any Member (the “Guarantor”) in favor of any lender to the Company or Project Entity approved in accordance with this Agreement on behalf of the Company (“Guaranties” and individually, a “Guaranty”) shall, as between the Members, be apportioned among the Members pro rata in proportion to their Respective Interests.

		
	14.2
	GUARANTY OVERPAYMENT.

Any actual amounts paid to a third party in respect of a Guaranty, including all costs paid to third parties in respect of a Guaranty (or reimbursed by a Member or its Affiliate to another Member and/or its Affiliate pursuant to Section 14.3 below or to the Company) shall be deemed a “Guaranty Payment” by such Member as of the date paid.  Subject to Section 14.3, if a  Member or a Guarantor pays a Guaranty Payment, the amount of such payment which exceeds such Member’s Respective Interest (or that of the Member with which it is Affiliated) of the amount paid (such excess amount, a “Guaranty Overpayment”) shall, upon demand, be immediately payable by, and be a recourse obligation of, the other Member (the “Underpaying Member”) and, if not paid within five (5) business days following notice of demand therefor, subsequent distributions or payments otherwise payable to the Underpaying Member shall be withheld from such Member and instead paid to the Member Affiliated with the Guarantor which made the Guaranty Overpayment until such time as the full amount of the Guaranty
Overpayment (plus interest accrued thereon at a rate which, compounded daily, yields a rate equal to twenty-five percent (25%) cumulative annual return, which interest shall be paid prior to application of payments to the Guaranty Overpayment) has been repaid, but all such distributions or payments shall be deemed to have been made to such Underpaying Member.

		
	14.3
	GUARANTY BAD ACTS.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 14.1 and 14.2 to the contrary, to the extent a Guaranty Payment results from (a) an action which causes such Member to be a Defaulting Member, (b) non-monetary breaches of a Guaranty past all applicable notice and cure periods, that directly trigger a Guaranty Obligation (in each event, specifically excluding any act or actions which have been consented to or approved by the other Members), (c) non-monetary breaches of any loan documents entered into by the Company past all applicable notice and cure periods that directly trigger a Guaranty Obligation (in each event, specifically excluding any act or actions which have been consented to or approved by the other Members), or (d) the fraud, dishonesty, misappropriation of funds or other intentional misconduct or gross negligence of a Member or its Affiliate, including, but not limited to, an Affiliated Guarantor (“Guaranty Bad Acts”), (i) then such Member and, if applicable, its Affiliate(s), as the case may be, shall be responsible for the entirety of any amount paid in respect of such Guaranty claim and the other Members shall have no liability therefor, in which event any such Guaranty Payment made by such other Member or its Affiliate shall be a Guaranty Overpayment and the Member that caused such Guaranty Bad Act (or that is Affiliated with the Person that caused such Guaranty Bad Act) shall be an Underpaying Member with respect thereto. In the event the Company makes any payment in respect of a Guaranty which results from the Guaranty Bad Act of any Member (or its Affiliate), such Member shall be responsible for the entirety of any such payment made 

by the Company and shall pay the same upon demand by any other Member with interest accruing thereon at a rate which, compounded daily, yields a rate equal to twenty-five percent (25%) per annum (any such payments to be applied first to accrued interest), and none of the other Members nor the Company shall have any liability therefor.

ARTICLE XV MISCELLANEOUS

(i)PECO GRP II shall have the right to initiate the buy/sell  provisions of Section 11.1 hereof, subject to the terms set forth in Section 11.1; and/or

(ii)PECO GRP II may cause the Company to immediately terminate any and all Affiliate Contracts with Affiliates of Northwestern Mutual without penalty or additional cost, and cease the payment of any and all fees payable thereunder; provided, however, that all fees and other amounts earned thereunder prior to such termination shall be prorated through the effective date of termination and shall be paid to such Contract Affiliates in
accordance with the respective Affiliate Contracts with an Affiliate of Northwestern Mutual. Each Affiliate Contract will reflect such termination right.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to any rights or remedies available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in the event any NML Bad Act or PECO GRP II Bad Act occurs, PECO GRP II or Northwestern Mutual, as applicable, shall have all rights and remedies at law and in equity with respect thereto, none of which are waived.

such Member in accordance with this Section 13.3.

		
	15.4
	INSURANCE.

The Company shall maintain insurance against all risks and hazards reasonably related to the Company in amounts and with companies satisfactory to the Members but in any event consistent with Northwestern Mutual's insurance requirements.

Member of its rights hereunder. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by a Member to, or of, any breach or default by another Member in the performance of obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to, or of, any other obligation of such Member hereunder.

2.3    Tax Prorations.  Ad valorem taxes and assessments shall be prorated at Closing as of 11:59 p.m. of the day preceding the Closing Date.  If the amount of the taxes for the year of closing are not available on the Closing Date, taxes shall be prorated based upon the highest discounted rate for the immediately preceding calendar year.  If applicable, Buyer shall pay the Closing year taxes on the date necessary to obtain the highest discounted rate available.  Upon receipt of any actual tax bill(s) for any period(s) subject to such tax proration, the Buyer and Seller shall reprorate all ad valorem taxes and assessments, whereupon Seller shall pay to Buyer or Buyer shall pay to Seller, as the case may be, all monies owed thereby.
  
2.4    Other Prorations.  Other matters of income and expense, if any, and other items customarily prorated in transactions of this kind shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. of the day preceding the Closing Date.  Seller shall cause all of the Contracts to be terminated, at its cost, as of Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 4.6 of this Agreement. 

2.5    Further Adjustments to the Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be further adjusted by subtracting the amount of security deposits, prepaid rents from and credit balances of tenants under the Leases.  The previous provisions to the contrary notwithstanding, any estimated overpayment or underpayment of CAM, Tax or Insurance charges by tenants for the year of closing shall be reconciled as of Closing pursuant to the information available at that time.  A post Closing re-reconciliation shall occur in accordance with paragraph 2.6 below once all CAM, Tax or Insurance charges are known.  Any rents, percentage rents or tenant reimbursements paid by tenants after the Closing Date to Buyer but applicable to 

periods prior to the Closing Date shall first be applied to then due rental and reimbursement obligations under the respective Leases, with any remainder being remitted to Seller by Buyer within thirty (30) days after receipt to the extent of delinquencies owing under the applicable Leases as of Closing.  During the 180 day period after Closing, Buyer shall send out Seller’s billing for any delinquencies existing as of Closing until the same are paid.  Buyer shall have no obligation to pursue any other collection thereof and no obligation to institute any litigation.  Seller may separately institute litigation for sums due it from tenants, but any such litigation shall not involve any attempt to evict any tenant.  Buyer will not interfere in Seller’s efforts to collect sums due it prior to the Closing.  Seller will remit to Buyer within five (5) days after receipt any rents, percentage rents or tenant reimbursements received by Seller after Closing which are attributable to periods occurring on or after the Closing Date.  Rents not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing. 

2.6    Post Closing Reconciliation:  Seller shall provide to Buyer on or before March 31 of the year following the year of Closing (or earlier, to the extent required under any of the Leases) a final reconciliation of CAM, Tax and Insurance charges that accrued during Seller’s period of ownership, including an analysis of any sums due by each tenant to Seller.  In the event there are sums due from Seller to tenants, Seller shall remit such payments to Buyer simultaneously with the final reconciliation, and the Buyer shall forward such payments to the respective tenants.  Buyer agrees not to seek recovery of any CAM, Tax or Insurance charges from tenants, whether the same are due to Seller or Buyer, until after receipt of such reconciliation from Seller and further agrees that, after receipt of the reconciliation from Seller, Buyer, as the new landlord, shall request from each tenant, as applicable, payment of all such sums, including the sums due to Seller and Buyer, in a single request.

Buyer shall have the Inspection Period within which to physically inspect the Property and conduct its due diligence related thereto and to review and analyze Seller’s Documents.  Buyer and Buyer’s officers, employees, consultants, attorneys and other authorized representatives shall have the right to reasonable access to the Property and to all records of Seller related thereto (including without limitation title information, property leasing files, maintenance surveys, environmental assessment reports and other information concerning the condition of the Property), at reasonable times during the Inspection Period, for the purpose of inspecting the Property, taking soil and ground water samples, conducting Hazardous Materials inspections, tests and assessments, reviewing the books and records of Seller concerning the Property, evaluating the leasing and physical condition of the Property, conducting tenant interviews and otherwise conducting its due diligence review.

Buyer’s indemnity and insurance obligations shall survive the Closing or early termination hereof.  Seller shall cooperate with and assist Buyer in making such inspections, interviews and reviews.  Buyer agrees that it will not interview, converse or communicate with any tenant without affording Seller reasonable notice and an opportunity to be present and furnishing Seller a copy of each and every written communication to or from a tenant promptly upon giving or receiving same.

3.2    Buyer’s Termination Right; Buyer’s Notice of Satisfaction.  Within the Inspection Period, Buyer may elect whether or not to go forward with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement to Closing, which election shall be made by notice to Seller given within the Inspection Period.

No Major Tenant has ceased operation from its premises within the Property, terminated its Lease, filed for bankruptcy protection, or publicly announced that it shall be so ceasing operations, terminating its Lease or filing for such bankruptcy protection (collectively, a “Major Tenant Adverse Event”).  To the extent of such a Major Tenant Adverse Event during the term of this Agreement prior to Closing, Seller shall promptly inform Buyer of the same.  Seller’s failure to provide such notice shall be deemed a breach of the foregoing representations and warranties and a default under this Agreement.  In the event of a Major Tenant Adverse Event, it shall not be deemed an event of default by Seller, however Buyer shall have the right, upon notice thereof to Seller on or prior to Closing, to terminate this Agreement and thereupon to receive an immediate refund of the Earnest Money Deposit and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation hereunder except for such liabilities and obligations that are expressly stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement.

In the event that specific performance shall not be available to Buyer due to the Seller’s intentional conveyance of the Property or a portion thereof to a bona fide third party for value in violation of the terms and conditions hereof, then, Buyer shall be entitled to damages in an amount equal to all third party out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby, but not in excess of $100,000 in any event.

9.2    Pre-Closing Breach by Buyer.  In the event of a breach of Buyer’s obligations herein, Seller’s sole legal and equitable remedy (except for breaches related to Buyer’s indemnity and insurance obligations) shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain Buyer’s Earnest Money Deposit as AGREED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES for such breach, and upon payment in full to Seller of such Earnest Money Deposit, the parties shall have no further rights, claims, liabilities or obligations under this Agreement (except the indemnity and 

insurance obligations of Buyer, for which Seller, in the event of a breach thereof by Buyer, shall have available to it all remedies at law or in equity).

9.3    Post-Closing Breach by Seller.  In the event of a breach of Seller’s obligations herein that occurs after Closing, Buyer’s remedies shall be governed by Section 10.13 below, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy.

9.4    Post-Closing Breach by Buyer.  In the event of a breach of Buyer’s obligations herein that occurs after Closing, Seller shall have any and all remedies available at law and in equity.

 10. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1    Tax Appeals.

		
	(a)
	If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, (i) relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs or (ii) relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then until the date which is two (2) years after the Closing Date (the “Tax Proceedings Cutoff Date”) the Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same, subject to Buyer’s reasonable approval and ability to participate; provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding that relates to the taxable year during which the Closing occurs or which could reasonably be expected to increase any tax liability with respect to the Property in a taxable period (or portion thereof) following the Closing Date without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.  From and after the Tax Proceedings Cutoff Date, Buyer shall have the sole right to continue and prosecute and/or settle any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property.

		
	(b)
	Any refunds or savings (including credits) in the payment of real property taxes (whether or not resulting from such tax reduction proceedings) applicable to taxes payable during the period (or portion thereof) prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to taxes payable from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer; provided, however, that if any refund received by the Seller pursuant to this Section 10.1 creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants under Leases for any rents or additional rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in the Lease to such Tenant) shall be paid by Seller directly to the Tenants entitled thereto.  All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Buyer, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to Tenants); 

provided, however, that neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding.  All amounts payable to Buyer shall be paid by Seller within ten (10) business days after receipt by Seller or its successors or assigns of such refund or savings. All amounts payable to Seller shall be paid by Buyer within ten (10) business days after receipt by Buyer or its successors or assigns of such refund or savings.

10.2    Commissions.  Seller and Buyer represent to each other that neither Seller (in the case of Seller’s representation) nor Buyer (in the case of Buyer’s representation) has dealt with nor does it have any knowledge of any broker or other person who has or may have any claim against Seller, Buyer or the Property for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or like payment arising out of or in connection with this transaction, other than Broker.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any other such claim arising by, through or under Buyer, and Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any other such claim arising by, through or under Seller.  Seller shall be solely responsible for and shall pay Broker a commission in the event of and at Closing pursuant to a separate written agreement between Seller and Broker.

10.3    Notices.  All notices and demands of any kind which either party may be required or may desire to serve upon the other party in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing, signed by the party or its counsel identified below, and shall be served (as an alternative to personal service) by registered or certified mail, overnight courier service or facsimile transmission or e-mail (followed promptly by personal service or mailing of a hard copy), at the addresses set forth below:

10.4    Headings.  The titles and headings of the various sections hereof are intended solely for means of reference and are not intended for any purpose whatsoever to modify, explain or place any construction on any of the provisions of this Agreement.

10.5    Validity. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and every other provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

10.6    Attorneys’ Fees.  In the event of any dispute, litigation or other proceeding between the parties hereto to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or any right of either party hereunder, the unsuccessful party to such dispute, litigation or other proceeding shall pay to the successful party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred at trial, on appeal, and in any arbitration, 

administrative or other proceedings, all of which may be included in and as a part of the judgment rendered in such litigation.  Any indemnity provisions herein shall include indemnification for such costs and fees.  This section shall survive the Closing or a prior termination hereof.

10.7    Time. Time is of the essence of this Agreement, provided that if any date upon which some action, notice or response is required of any party hereunder occurs on a weekend or national holiday, such action, notice or response shall not be required until the next succeeding business day.

10.8    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located.

10.9    Gender; Plural; Singular; Terms.  A reference in this Agreement to any gender, masculine, feminine or neuter, shall be deemed a reference to the other, and the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires.  The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder,” and other words of a similar nature mean and refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to the specified section or clause in which the respective word appears unless expressly so stated.

10.10    Exhibits.  All exhibits attached hereto are incorporated herein by reference to the same extent as though such exhibits were included in the body of this Agreement verbatim.

10.11    Counterparts, Further Instruments, Etc. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and when so executed shall be deemed executed as one agreement. Seller and Buyer shall execute any and all documents and perform any and all acts reasonably necessary to fully implement this Agreement.

10.12    No Recording.  Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum notice or short form hereof shall be recorded.

10.13    Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article 4 hereof, shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months following the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”), at which time they will be of no further force or effect except as hereinafter provided in this Section 10.13.  No claim asserted after Closing for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Buyer prior to Closing or disclosed or referenced in this Agreement, the documents delivered as part of the due diligence documentation, the Existing Title Policy, Existing Survey, Title Insurance Commitment or the Survey.  Seller shall not have any liability to Buyer for a breach of any representation or warranty (a) unless the valid claims for all breaches with respect to the Property collectively aggregate more than $10,000.00 (“Minimum Amount”), in which event only the amount of such valid claims in excess of the Minimum Amount shall be actionable, up to the Cap (as defined in this Section 10.13), and (b) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Buyer to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall have been commenced and filed by Buyer against Seller within sixty (60) days after delivery of notice of the alleged breach.  As used herein, the term “Cap” shall mean Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000.00) in the aggregate.  In no event whatsoever 

shall Seller have any liability to Buyer in excess of the Cap for any claims asserted after Closing for a breach; provided however, notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Cap nor the Minimum Amount shall be applicable with respect to a breach of Seller’s Obligation under Section 10.2 above.

10.14    Successors and Assigns.  Buyer shall not assign its rights hereunder except to affiliated entities.  An affiliated entity for purposes hereof shall include any entity which is wholly owned by a party or by a parent of a party, or any entity in which a party or a parent of a party has an equity interest and is a general or managing partner/member.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and permitted assigns of the parties.  No third parties, including any brokers or creditors, shall be beneficiaries hereof or entitled to any rights or benefits hereunder.

10.15    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the exhibits attached hereto, supersedes all prior agreements between the parties as to the Property, if any, and constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may not be modified, amended or otherwise changed in any manner except by a writing executed by Buyer and Seller or their respective counsel identified herein.

10.16    Facsimile or .pdf.  Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy or email (.pdf) shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing.  Each party agrees to promptly deliver an execution original to this Agreement with its actual signature to the other party, but a failure to do so shall not affect the enforceability of this Agreement, it being expressly agreed that each party to this Agreement shall be bound by its own telecopied or emailed signature and shall accept the telecopied or emailed signature of the other party to this Agreement.

10.17    1031 Exchange.  Buyer acknowledges that Seller may effect a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Accordingly, Buyer agrees that it will cooperate with Seller to effect a tax-free exchange in accordance with the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the regulations promulgated with respect thereto.  Seller shall be solely responsible for any additional fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with the like-kind exchange contemplated by this paragraph, and Buyer shall not be required to incur any debt, obligation or expense in accommodating Seller hereunder.  In no event shall Seller’s ability or inability to effect a like-kind exchange, as contemplated hereby, in any way delay the Closing or relieve Seller from its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.  Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from any liability, losses or damages incurred by Buyer in connection with or arising out of the Section 1031 like-kind exchange, including but not limited to any tax liability.

10.18    Purchase of Property Only.  The parties acknowledge that the purchase and sale of the Property involves only the purchase and sale of the Property and that Seller is not selling a business nor do the parties intend that Buyer be deemed a successor of Seller with respect to any debts, liabilities and obligations of Seller other than the tenants under the Leases, any Contracts assumed by Buyer and any obligations and liabilities as owner of the Property.  Seller shall be liable for all payments and benefits to past and/or present employees of Seller in connection with the business being conducted on or from the Property as may have accrued through Closing (including, but not limited to, salaries, wages, commissions, bonuses, vacation pay, health and welfare contributions, pensions, profit sharing, severance or termination pay, or any other form of compensation or fringe benefit).

10.19    Escrow Agent.  The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall constitute both an agreement between Seller and Buyer and instructions for Escrow Agent, which Escrow Agent shall acknowledge and agree to be bound by, as evidenced by its execution of this Agreement.  Seller and Buyer shall promptly execute and deliver to Escrow Agent any separate or additional escrow instructions requested by Escrow Agent which are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  Any separate or additional instructions shall not modify or amend the provisions of this Agreement unless otherwise expressly agreed by mutual consent of Buyer and Seller.  Buyer and Seller both hereby acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall hold and deliver the Earnest Money Deposit and all other deposits which may be made under this Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and that Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability and held harmless by both Seller and Buyer in the event Escrow Agent makes any disbursement of such monies in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  Escrow Agent shall be relieved from any responsibility or liability and held harmless by both Buyer and Seller in connection with the discharge of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder provided that Escrow Agent exercises ordinary and reasonable care in the discharge of such duties.

By their execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Buyer and Seller acknowledge and confirm that under certain circumstances deposits (including the funds subject to this Agreement) may not be insured or fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”).  Each party has made its own analysis of FDIC insurance regulations affecting, or potentially affecting, the funds subject to this Agreement and is not relying upon any advice from the Escrow Agent as to FDIC matters.  The Buyer and Seller understand and agree that Escrow Agent is holding the escrow funds as agent and that the funds are not trust funds.  Simultaneously with final disbursement of the escrow funds pursuant to this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall be released of all liability and responsibility under this Agreement.  The Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be genuine.  Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instructions in connection with the provisions hereof, has been duly authorized to do so.  The Escrow Agent undertakes and agrees to perform only such duties as expressly set forth herein.  The duty of the Escrow Agent hereunder shall be limited to the safe keeping of the escrow funds and the disposition of same in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The Escrow Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to require a written statement signed by the Buyer and Seller confirming satisfaction of all conditions precedent to disbursement of funds hereunder and authorizing disbursement of said funds, together with accrued interest, if any.  All notices to or from Escrow Agent shall be in writing.  The Buyer and Seller hereby release Escrow Agent from any losses incurred with respect to funds deposited hereunder by reason of the absence of or insufficiency of FDIC insurance with respect to such funds.  The Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Escrow Agent has entered into this Agreement at their specific request and, in order to induce Escrow Agent to accept said escrow, do hereby agree to indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from all loss, cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, which it may suffer or incur as a result of acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement, including, without limitation, claims arising with respect to the absence or insufficiency of FDIC insurance for funds subject to this Agreement.  In the event of any dispute as to the disbursement of escrow funds or any claim thereto by any party or person, Escrow Agent shall have the right to bring a suit in interpleader in the Circuit Court for Duval County, Florida naming the parties to this Agreement and any other parties as may be appropriate in the opinion of Escrow Agent.  The Buyer and Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from all costs, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with such interpleader action.  Upon the filing of said suit and deposit of the balance of escrow funds in the registry of the Court, Escrow Agent shall have the right to withdraw from said suit, and all obligations of Escrow Agent shall cease and terminate.

  
10.20    No Back Offers or Agreements.  Seller shall not, during the term of this Agreement, enter into any back up offers, agreements, options or the like for the sale of the Property to any third party and nor shall Seller market the Property for sale or otherwise solicit any of such back up offers, agreements, options or the like directly or indirectly through third parties.  

10.21    Books and Records.  Buyer has advised Seller that Buyer may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Property for up to three (3) fiscal years prior to Closing and any interim period during the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs (the “Financial Information”).  Following the Closing, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonably efforts to cooperate with Buyer and its representatives and agents in the preparation of required Financial Information; provided, however, Seller shall not be required to incur any expenses or costs unless Buyer reimburses Seller for the same.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any information deemed confidential by Seller in its reasonable discretion.  Buyer acknowledges Buyer may not use the results of its review under this Section 10.21 to pursue any claim against Seller under the terms of this Agreement.
