their respective affairs.

prohibited from acquiring additional hotels (or properties for development as
hotels) in such ISE City.

and its affiliates, on the other, set forth in Clauses 10.2.1 and 10.2.2, respectively,
shall not impair or limit the rights of the other Party therein set forth and

deleted or its period reduced or its area reduced in scope, that restriction
shall apply with such modifications as may be necessary to make it valid and
effective.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
each Shareholder which is not the Relevant Person with respect to such Event of

writing to the other Shareholders provided that such Shareholder simultaneously
therewith delivers a Notice pursuant to Clause 15.1 hereof. Thereafter, upon

this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. Each
Shareholder comprising Burford shall be required to act collectively under this
Clause and a Termination Notice delivered by any Shareholder comprising Burford
shall only be effective if such Termination Notice, and the Notice delivered
together therewith, is (i) signed by all of the Shareholders comprising
Burford, or (ii) signed by Burford and on its face expressly states that
in delivering such notice Burford is acting for itself and the other members of
Burford. Each of the Shareholders comprising Burford hereby agrees that (y) any
notice delivered by Burford in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) also
shall be deemed to have been delivered and executed by each such Shareholder,
and (z) Burford shall have the right to deliver notices under this Clause
on their behalf.

 

C.            Continuance of Company’s Operations

 

Following service of a Termination Notice until such time as the
completion of the Transfer of the Sale Shares in accordance with the terms
hereof (including any period

 

 

during which any matter relating to this clause or Clause 15 is the subject of proceedings) each
Shareholder shall do all things in its power to continue to operate the Company
in the ordinary course of its business as it existed at the time at which the
Termination Notice was served.

 

14.3         The termination of this Agreement (howsoever arising);

 

14.3.1      shall be without prejudice to the rights of any Party accrued hereunder
as at the date of termination or to any claim which any Party may have for
damages against or otherwise arising from any antecedent breach thereof by any
other Party;

 

14.3.2      shall not operate to affect such of the provisions hereof as in
accordance with their terms are expressed to operate or have effect thereafter.

 

14A.1      Schrager or Burford may require the Board to appoint an investment bank
to report on the prospects for achieving a Float at any time. The investment bank’s
report should include an appraisal of the range of prices for an ordinary share
of the Company achievable in its opinion through such Float.

 

14A.2      Following receipt of the investment bank’s report, the Board shall
convene a general meeting of the Company to consider such report and the Board’s
recommended course of action. At such meeting, any decision to effect a Float
shall be a Major Decision requiring the approval of the Shareholders in
accordance herewith. No Shareholder shall be liable to any other Shareholder
for voting against a Float.

share capital of the Company to listing on The London Stock Exchange, the New
York Stock Exchange or the American Stock Exchange or their quotation on NASDAQ
in connection with a flotation or placing which results in twenty five per cent
(25%) or more of the Company’s ordinary share capital being held by persons
other than those who are holders of the Company’s ordinary share capital
immediately prior to such flotation of placing, or (ii) the admission of
all or part of the Company’s ordinary share capital to the Alternative
Investment Market of The London Stock Exchange. For the purposes of this
definition, Company shall be deemed to include any successor in title.

 

15.          OFFER TO BUY SHARES

 

15.1         In the event that either (a) Schrager and Burford are unable to
reach agreement with respect to a Major Decision at any time after the third
anniversary of the Completion Date, either Burford or Schrager shall have the
right, or (b) a Termination Notice is served pursuant to Clause 14.2.4(B) hereof,
the Shareholder serving such Termination Notice shall have the obligation
concurrently therewith, to serve a written notice (“the Notice”) on the other (“the
Recipient”) offering to buy all (but not some only) of the issued shares of the
class held by (or by a Group Company of) the Recipient (“the Recipient’s Shares”)
or to sell to the Recipient all (but not some only) of the issued shares of the
class held by (or by a Group Company of) the Party who has given notice (“the
Notifier”) (“the Notifier’s Shares”) in accordance with the following

 

 

provisions of this Clause 15. For purposes hereof, any offer to
purchase by Burford or to sell to Burford
shall encompass all (but not some only) of the A Shares. For purposes hereof,
any offer to purchase by Schrager or to sell to Schrager shall encompass all
(but not some only) of the B Shares.

 

15.2         The Notice shall specify the per share price at which the Notifier is
prepared to buy the Recipient’s Shares (“the Notified Price”) but shall not
include any other conditions whatsoever.

 

15.3         The Notice shall be deemed to:

 

15.3.1      constitute an offer by the Notifier, open for acceptance by the
Recipient for one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of service of the
Notice (“the Offer Period”), to buy all but not some only of the Recipient’s
Shares on the Transfer Terms (as defined below) at the Notified Price; and

 

15.3.2      constitute an alternative offer by the Notifier to sell to the
Recipient all (but not some only) of the Notifier’s Shares after the end of the
Offer Period on the Transfer Terms at the Notified Price if the Recipient does
not elect to sell the Recipient’s Shares to the Notifier before the expiry of
the Offer Period and shall be irrevocable without the written consent of the
Recipient. For the purposes of this Clause “the Transfer Terms” means free from
all claims, equities, liens, charges and encumbrances together with all rights
attaching thereto at the date of service of the Notice and together with, for
the avoidance of doubt, the benefit of the provisions of Clause 15.10 but
subject in any event to the Master Development Agreement and the Master Management
Agreement.

 

15.4         The Recipient may at any time before the expiry of the Offer Period
serve notice in writing upon the Notifier of its desire to sell all (but not
some only) of the Recipient’s Shares on the terms set out in this Clause (“a
Sale Notice”) which may not be expressed to be subject to any condition
whatsoever. On service of a Sale Notice on the Notifier the Notifier shall be
bound to purchase at the Notified Price and the Recipient shall be bound to
sell, on payment of the Notified Price, all the Recipient’s Shares, which the
Recipient shall transfer on the Transfer Terms.

 

15.5         If the Recipient does not serve a Sale Notice during the Offer Period
the Recipient shall be deemed to have declined the offer referred to in Clause
15.3.1 and to have accepted the alternative offer referred to in Clause 15.3.2
and the Notifier shall be bound to sell upon receipt of the Notified Price and
the Recipient shall be bound to purchase at the Notified Price the Notifier’s
Shares, which the Notifier shall transfer on the Transfer Terms.

 

15.6         In the following sub-clauses, “the Sale Shares” means the shares to be
sold, “the Seller” means the seller of the Sale Shares and “the Buyer” means
the person who, in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Clause, has
become bound to purchase the Sale Shares.

 

 

15.7         Purchase deposits and the Closing (as hereinafter defined) shall be
made in accordance with the following provisions of this Clause 15.7:

 

15.7.1      Within ten (10) days following the termination of the Offer
Period, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller’s nominated solicitor or
stakeholder a deposit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total
price of the Sale Shares. In such event, within twenty (20) days thereafter the
Seller shall effect the Closing and the Shareholders shall procure that the
Board will enter the Purchaser’s name in the register of members of the Company
as the holder of the Sale Shares. Failure to effect the Closing (other than by
reason of default of the Seller) shall result in, without limitation, loss by
the Purchaser of such deposit.

 

15.7.2      If the Purchaser fails to deliver such deposit, (i) the Seller
shall be entitled to withdraw its offer to sell its Shares to the Purchaser
without prejudice to its right to sue for delivery of the deposit from the
Purchaser, or (ii) at the Seller’s option, to be exercised in writing by
the Seller within ten (10) days after the Purchaser’s failure to make the
required deposit, (w) the party which theretofore had been the “Purchaser” shall
thereupon be deemed to be the Seller, (x) the party which theretofore had been the
“Seller” shall be deemed to be the Purchaser, (y) the Sale Shares will be
deemed to comprise the Shares of the deemed Seller and any affiliate thereof,
and (z) the Notified Price shall be reduced by five percent (5%). Upon such an
election by the original Seller, the deemed Seller shall effect the Closing and
the Shareholders shall procure that the Board will enter the Purchaser’s name
in the register of members of the
Company as the holder of the Sale Shares.

 

15.7.3      With respect to an Event of Default described in clause 14.2.4(A)(2),
in the event that the party serving the Termination Notice (the “Non-Defaulting
Shareholder”) is the Seller, failure of the Non-Defaulting Shareholder, as
Seller, to effect the Closing, or, in the event that the Non-Defaulting
Shareholder is the Purchaser, failure of the Non-Defaulting Shareholder, as
Purchaser, to deliver the required deposit, within the applicable prescribed
period shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Non-Defaulting Party of its right
to deliver a Termination Notice (and a Notice) hereunder as to the Event(s) of
Default giving rise to the service of the Termination Notice.

 

15.8         The Closing shall take place at such reasonable time and place (and
otherwise in accordance with all applicable time periods herein specified) as
the Buyer may specify by not less than forty-eight (48) hours written notice to
the Seller whereupon (the following events described in this Clause 15.8 are
herein collectively referred to as the “Closing”):

 

15.8.1      the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a duly executed transfer or
transfers in favor of the Buyer or as it may direct together with the relative
share certificates in respect of the Sale Shares;

 

15.8.2      against such delivery, the Buyer shall pay the Notified Price to the
Seller in cash or by wire transfer or banker’s draft for value on the date of
completion;

 

 

15.8.3      the Seller shall do all such other things and execute all such other
documents as the Buyer may require to give effect to the sale and purchase of
the Sale Shares;

 

15.8.4      the Seller shall procure the resignation of all directors appointed by
it and such resignation shall take effect without any liability on the Company
for compensation for loss of office or otherwise.

 

15.9         If the Seller shall fail or refuse to transfer any Sale Shares in
accordance with its obligations hereunder the Company shall authorize some
person to execute and deliver on its behalf the necessary transfer and the
Company shall receive the purchase money in trust for the Seller and cause the
Buyer to be registered as the holder of the Sale Shares. The receipt of the
Company for the purchase money shall be a good discharge to the Buyer (and it
shall not be bound to see to the application thereof).

 

15.10       If each of Schrager and Burford shall receive an effective and properly
delivered Notice, the first such Notice to be properly delivered shall prevail.

 

15.11       Upon a transfer of all the Sale Shares in accordance with this Clause:

 

15.11.1    The Seller shall repay all loans, loan capital, borrowings and
indebtedness in the nature of borrowings outstanding to the Company from the
Seller (or from any person controlled by or connected with the Seller) together
with any accrued interest.

 

15.11.2    The Company shall repay all loans, loan capital, borrowings and
indebtedness in the nature of borrowings outstanding to the Seller (or from any
person controlled by or connected with the Seller) together with any accrued
interest.

 

15.11.3    The Buyer shall use all reasonable endeavours (but, save as provided
below, without involving any financial obligations on its Part) to procure the
release of any guarantees or indemnities given by the seller (or by any person
controlled by or connected with the Seller) to or in respect of the Company
PROVIDED THAT costs in relation thereto shall be borne by the Buyer save where
such guarantee or indemnity given by the Seller (or by any person controlled by
or connected with the Seller) is in form or substance substantially different
from that given by the Buyer in which event the Seller shall bear such costs.

 

15.12       Each Shareholder waives its rights of pre-emption on the transfer of
the Sale Shares contained in this Clause 15 and the Articles to the extent
necessary to effect the provisions of this Clause 15.

 

15.13       For purposes of any Transfer under this Clause 15, each Shareholder
comprising Burford shall be required to act collectively under this Clause and
any Notice delivered hereunder
by any such Shareholder shall only be effective if signed by all of such
Shareholders.

 

 

16.          ANNOUNCEMENTS

 

16.1         No announcement (other than if and to the extent required by law or by

Regulations. In the event that the Managing Member shall determine that it is
prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or
credits thereto, are computed in order to comply with the Allocation
Regulations, the Managing Member may make such modification, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.3D. The Managing Member shall adjust the amounts
debited or credited to Capital Accounts with respect to (i) any property
contributed to the Company or distributed to the Members, and (ii) any
liabilities that are secured by such contributed or distributed property that
are assumed by the Company or the Members, in the event that the Managing
Member shall determine such adjustments are necessary or appropriate pursuant
to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Allocation Regulations. Subject
to the provisions of Section 6.3D, the Managing Member also shall make any
appropriate modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise
cause this Agreement not to comply with the Allocation Regulations.

Section 5.1.                                   Investor Member’s Capital Contribution

 

Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2 and 5.3 below, the Investor
Member shall make Capital Contributions to the Company in an amount equal to
Eight Million Eight Hundred Ten Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars
($8,810,375), as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of
Section 5.3 hereof. The obligation of the Investor Member to make such
Capital Contributions is evidenced by an Investor Note, a copy of which is
attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A and incorporated
herein by this reference, which Investor Note shall be secured by the Investor
Member’s Interest pursuant to a security agreement to be executed in favor of
the Company in the form of Exhibit B (the “Investor
Security Agreement”). In addition to the foregoing amounts, the Investor
Member shall also pay the fees of the Accountants and Special Counsel for
services performed prior to the Admission Date, and such payments shall be
treated for all purposes as if paid by the Investor Member to the Company as
additional Capital Contributions and paid by the Company to the Accountants and
Special Counsel; provided, however, that if such fees exceed One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($100,000), the Investor Member’s Adjusted Capital
Contribution shall be reduced by the excess for purposes of calculating its
Priority Return and any Distribution of its Adjusted Capital Contributions or a
specified percentage thereof.

 

Section 5.2.                                   Conditions to Payment

 

A.                                   At least twenty (20) days before the Managing
Member intends to call for a payment under the Investor Note, and as a
condition thereto, the Managing Member shall notify the Investor Member of the
payment amount due (and, if applicable, the impact of any adjustments to such
payment made pursuant to Section 5.3) and where the payment should be sent
and shall provide a written statement substantially in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C (a “Payment Certificate”) certifying
that the conditions to such payment have been satisfied and that (i) the
Managing Member has satisfied and continues to satisfy all of its material
obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation maintaining and
funding the reserve described in Section 5.8, (ii) the covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in Section 7.11 are true and
correct as of the date of the Payment Certificate or, to the extent any such
representations and warranties are no longer true and correct, shall describe
any such change in circumstances and shall represent and warrant that any such
change has been compensated for in accordance with the provisions of
Section 5.3 or shall not have a material adverse effect on the Company or
on the tax consequences to the Investor Member of an investment in the Company
as projected in the Projections, (iii) the Company is not in material
default under any of the Operating Documents or other material agreement to
which it is a party (excluding a default arising from a breach by the Investor
Member hereunder), and (iv) the Managing Member has delivered to the Investor
Member copies of the Company’s federal and state tax returns for the most
recently ended Fiscal Year. The statements in such Payment Certificate shall be
true and correct on the date thereof and on the payment date. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Investor Note, no
Installment of the Investor Member’s Capital Contribution shall be due until
twenty (20) days following the date on which the Payment Certificate relating
to such Installment has been received by the Investor Member. Each

 

30

 

Payment
Certificate shall be accompanied by a copy of the corresponding Loan Advance
Certificate received by the Company pursuant to the provisions of
Section 3(d) of the HTC Loan Agreement. The Payment Certificate with
respect to the Completion Date Installment due under the Investor Note shall be
accompanied by a Tax Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

 

B.                                     The Managing Member represents that it will
use each of the Installments for the purposes set forth in Exhibit H
in the amounts set forth therein unless the Consent of the Investor Member is
obtained for a change in the application of funds. At the time the Managing
Member presents a Payment Certificate for an Installment, it shall provide
wiring instructions for all payments to be made to Persons other than the
Company (including, without limitation, the Developer in its capacity as
borrower under the HTC Loan Documents) and shall authorize the Investor Member
to make payments of its Capital Contribution directly to such Persons on behalf
of the Company, with the balance made to the Company as set forth in the wiring
instructions. In the event that any Installment has been reduced because of the
application of Section 5.3 of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to
by the Investor Member, all payments to Persons other than the Managing Member
shall be made in the full amount due, and the payments to the Managing Member
shall be made in proportion to the amounts available therefor, with any amounts
not then paid to be paid from amounts first available therefor under the terms
of this Agreement. Additionally, if at the time any Installment is due all
payments to be made from any prior Installment have not been made in full, the
current Installment shall first be applied to any payments due from prior
Installments to Persons other than the Managing Member, then to payments due
from the current Installment to Persons other than the Managing Member, and
then to payments due from the prior and current Installments to the Managing
Member.

 

Section 5.3.                                   Historic Tax Credit Adjustments.

 

A.                                   If, as a result of a reduction or increase in
QRE, a reallocation of Profits or Losses, or for any other reason other than
(i) a Recapture Event or (ii) an event which would be a Recapture
Event but for the fact it resulted from the acts or omissions of the Investor
Member, the Accountants shall determine in preparing the Company’s tax returns
(or an amended return), or there shall be a Final Determination, that the
Actual Credit is more or less than the Projected Credit (such determination
being referred to herein as the “Historic Credit Determination”), the
provisions of Sections 5.3B through 5.3H shall apply.

 

B.                                     After the Historic Credit Determination is
made, the Accountants shall calculate the difference between the Actual Credit
and the Projected Credit. Such difference shall be multiplied by ninety-four
percent (94%) and the product shall be referred to herein as the “Historic
Credit Adjustment.” If the Historic Credit Adjustment is positive (i.e.,
the Actual Credit is greater than the Projected Credit), the next succeeding
unpaid Capital Contribution Installment of the Investor Member shall be
increased by the amount of such positive Historic Credit Adjustment. If there
are no remaining unpaid Installments, the Investor Member shall contribute the
amount of such positive Historic Credit Adjustment to the capital of the
Company within twenty (20) Business Days following the receipt of notice of the
positive Historic Credit Adjustment. Prior to any such increase in the amount
of a remaining Installment or obligation to contribute additional capital, the
Investor Member shall be provided with evidence reasonably sufficient to enable
it to verify the calculation of such positive Historic Credit Adjustment.

 

31

 

C.                                     If the Historic Credit Adjustment is negative
(i.e., the Actual Credit is less than the Projected Credit), the amount of the
next succeeding Capital Contribution Installment(s) to be paid by the Investor
Member after the Historic Credit Determination has been made shall be reduced
by the Historic Credit Adjustment. If the Historic Credit Adjustment exceeds
the amount of any remaining Capital Contribution Installments, the Company
shall distribute to the Investor Member, from the proceeds of any principal,
interest or penalty payments paid to the Company pursuant to the terms of
Section 8 of the HTC Loan Agreement as a result of such negative Historic
Credit Adjustment, an amount that, on an After-Tax Basis, is equal to the
amount of the shortfall. Such distribution shall be made within five
(5) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such HTC Loan
payments. If the Company does not receive any such HTC Loan payments or does
not distribute to the Investor Member from the proceeds of any such HTC Loan
payments, the full amount of the adjustment required under this
Section 5.3C within twenty (20) Business Days (sixty (60) Business Days in
the case of payments in excess of $1,000,000) following the date of the
Historic Credit Determination, the Managing Member shall forthwith pay to the
Investor Member, as a Tax Indemnity Payment (a “Tax Indemnity Payment”),
an amount that, on an After-Tax Basis is equal to the difference between the
negative Historic Credit Adjustment and the Capital Contribution Installments
in question.

 

D.                                    If the Historic Credit Determination is made
after the Investor Member has paid in all of its Capital Contribution Installments
to the Company, the Company shall distribute to the Investor Member, from the
proceeds of any principal, interest or penalty payments paid to the Company
pursuant to the terms of the HTC Loan Agreement as a result of such negative
Historic Credit Adjustment, an amount that, on an After-Tax Basis, is equal to
the amount of the shortfall. Such distribution shall be made within five
(5) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such HTC Loan
payments. If the Company does not receive any such HTC Loan payments or does
not distribute to the Investor Member, from the proceeds of any such HTC Loan
payments, the full amount of the adjustment required under this
Section 5.3D within twenty (20) Business Days (sixty (60) Business Days in
the case of payments in excess of $ 1,000,000) following the date of the
Historic Credit Determination, the Managing Member shall forthwith pay to the
Investor Member, as a Tax Indemnity Payment (a “Tax Indemnity Payment”),
an amount which, on an After-Tax Basis, is equal to the Historic Credit
Adjustment.

 

E.                                      Any Tax Indemnity Payments made by the
Managing Member pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not be construed as
being Capital Contributions, loans or advances by the Managing Member to the
Company, but shall be treated as a payment of damages by the Managing Member to
the Investor Member for a breach of warranty by the Managing Member to the
Investor Member.

 

F.                                      If any Tax Indemnity Payment due from the
Managing Member under this Section 5.3 is not made when due, the unpaid
balance shall bear interest at an annual rate equal to the Designated Prime
Rate plus one percent (1%). In addition, the failure to make such payments
within thirty (30) days following notice of payment due shall be deemed to be a
Material Default by the Managing Member.

 

G.                                     If a Recapture Event occurs prior to the time
the Investor Member has paid in all its Capital Contribution Installments to
the Company, the next succeeding Capital Contribution Installment(s) of the
Investor Member shall be reduced by an amount (herein referred to as a

 

32

 

“Recapture
Adjustment Amount”) that, on an After-Tax Basis, is equal to any increase
in Taxes payable by the Investor Member as a result of such Recapture Event. If
the Recapture Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of the remaining
Installments or if the determination that a Recapture Event has occurred is
made after all the Installments have been paid, the Company shall distribute to
the Investor Member, from the proceeds of any principal, interest or penalty
payments paid to the Company under the HTC Loan Documents as a result of such
Recapture Event, an amount that, on an After-Tax Basis, is equal to the amount
of such shortfall. Such distribution shall be made within ten
(10) Business Days following the Company’s receipt of such HTC Loan
payments. If the Company does not receive any such HTC Loan payments or does
not distribute to the Investor Member, from the proceeds of any such HTC Loan
payments, the full amount due to the Investor Member under this
Section 5.3G within thirty (30) Business Days following the date of the
delivery by the Investor Member to the Managing Member of a notice indicating
the amount of such Recapture Adjustment Amount (a “Recapture Notice”),
the Managing Member shall forthwith make a Tax Indemnity Payment to the
Investor Member in an amount equal to the Recapture Adjustment Amount.

 

H.                                    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 5.3 or any other indemnification provision in this Agreement,
if there is a negative Historic Credit Adjustment or a Recapture Event because
of a change of tax law or for any other reason other than (i) the QREs
attributable to the Project are less than projected, (ii) the Developer
has failed to satisfy a condition necessary for the Project to be eligible for
the full amount of the Projected Credit in the hands of the Developer or
(iii) a Recapture Event is caused by the Developer or the Managing Member
or an Affiliate thereof, including, without limitation, by a sale of the
Project, then, in lieu of the adjustments or Tax Indemnity Payments described
in the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5.3, with respect to that
Historic Credit Adjustment or that Recapture Event, the Managing Member shall
cause the Company to distribute to the Investor Member an amount equal to the “5.3H
Amount.” For purposes of this Section 5.3H in the case of a Recapture
Event, the term Historic Credit Adjustment shall mean ninety-four percent (94%)
of the Historic Tax Credit that is subject to recapture. The 5.3H Amount shall
be an amount equal to (x) the Historic Credit Adjustment, plus interest on the
Historic Credit Adjustment from the date of the Investor Member’s Capital
Contributions until the date such distribution is made at the Designated Prime
Rate Plus one percent (1%) less (y) the amount of any Priority Return
previously distributed to the Investor Member relating to an amount of Capital
Contributions equal to the Historic Credit Adjustment, plus interest on each
distribution of Priority Return from the date of such distribution until the
date of payment of the 5.3H Amount at the Designated Prime Rate plus one
percent (1%). The distribution shall be made within twenty (20) Business Days
(sixty (60) Business Days in the case of distributions in excess of $1,000,000)
of the date the Historic Credit Determination is made. If the provisions of
this Section 5.3H apply in lieu of the other paragraphs of
Section 5.3 and the Actual Credit is less than thirty percent (30%) of the
Projected Credit, such deficiency shall not be deemed to be a Material Default,
and if the Actual Credit is zero, the Investor Member agrees to withdraw from
the Company upon distribution to it of the amounts due pursuant to this
Section 5.3H.

 

I.                                         The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement or the sale, transfer, or other
assignment of the Interest of the Investor Member. If it is determined that an
adjustment or other payment must be made to the Investor Member pursuant to
this Section 5.3 after the Investor Member’s Interest has been purchased
pursuant to the

 

33

 

Purchase
Agreement, the purchase price payable thereunder shall be recalculated based on
the adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5.3 and offsetting
adjustments or other appropriate adjustments made so that the Members are in
substantially the same positions in which they would have been had the Historic
Credit Determination been made prior to the purchase of the Investor Member’s
Interest.

 

Section 5.4.                                   Contests

 

A.                                   The Managing Member, in its capacity as the
TMP, shall inform the Investor Member promptly of any oral or written
communication or request for information which the Managing Member may receive
from, or conference with, the IRS directly related to an administrative
proceeding with respect to the Company, the Project or the Historic Tax Credit
relating to the Project.

 

B.                                     The Managing Member, in its capacity as the
TMP, shall confer with the Investor Member and its counsel before responding to
any notice, letter, request for information, request for inspection of
documents, subpoena or other correspondence or item of communication or
document received by the Managing Member, from, or oral request made by, the
IRS which is directly related to an administrative proceeding with respect to
the Company, Project or the Historic Tax Credit relating to the Project.

 

C.                                     If the Managing Member desires to contest a
determination by the IRS with respect to a Company tax item that would result
in an adjustment, Tax Indemnity Payment, distribution, or other payment under
the provisions of Section 5.3 (a “Deficiency Amount”) and the
Investor Member objects to such a contest, the Investor Member shall waive in writing
its right to receive distributions or payments under this Agreement with
respect to that Company item and the Managing Member shall waive in writing its
right as TMP to pursue the contest with respect to the Company item.

 

D.                                    If the Managing Member and the Investor
Member want to contest a determination by the IRS with respect to a Company tax
item, then the Company shall be liable for the Costs of Contest, and

 

(i)                                     the Investor Member shall select Qualified
Counsel for the contest, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
Managing Member, and shall control the contest, or

 

(ii)                                  if either (a) the credit quality (in the
reasonable judgment of the Investor Member) of the Guarantor has not decreased
materially from that set forth in its audited financial statements dated as of
December 31, 1999, or (b) the Managing Member provides the Investor
Member security, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Member, in
an amount necessary to secure the Managing Member’s obligations that may become
due under this Agreement if the conflict were not resolved favorably for the
Company and the Managing Member agrees in writing that all amounts due to the
IRS as a result of the resolution of such contest are indemnified by the
Managing Member, then the TMP shall select Qualified Counsel for the contest,
which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Member, and
shall control the contest.

 

34

 

E.                                      If the Managing Member does not want, and the
Investor Member does want, to contest a determination by the IRS with respect
to a Company tax item, the Investor Member shall select Qualified Counsel and
control the contest and, if the credit quality (in the reasonable judgment of
the Investor Member) of the Guarantor has not decreased materially from that
set forth in its audited financial statements dated as of December 31,
1999, the Managing Member shall provide the Investor Member with security in a
form reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Member, in an amount equal to the
amount due under this Agreement if such determination was not contested, and,
whether or not such security is required to be given, the Managing Member shall
be liable for the Deficiency Amount that results from the contest, and shall
pay that Deficiency Amount and also shall be liable for the Costs of Contest,
provided, however, the Managing Member’s maximum liability shall not exceed the
maximum liability it would have had were the determination not contested.

 

F.                                      If the Managing Member timely pays the full
amount due under Section 5.4D or 5.4E, as applicable, the Investor Member
shall release the security given pursuant to Section 5.4D or 5.4E as
applicable, or, if the full amount is not timely paid, the Investor Member may
apply or otherwise realize upon any and all security given by the Managing
Member to satisfy the amount due under Section 5.4D or 5.4E, as
applicable.

 

G.                                     In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Section 5.4 and the provisions of Section 7.9, the
provisions of this Section 5.4 shall apply.

 

Section 5.5.                                   Project Expense Loans

 

A.                                   The Managing Member agrees that, if at any
time, the Company requires funds to eliminate any Operating Deficit, the
Managing Member shall loan (or shall cause one or more of its other Affiliates
to loan) to the Company the funds required. Such loans, which shall bear
interest at an annual rate equal to the Designated Prime Rate plus 1%, shall be
evidenced by unsecured promissory notes of the Company, and are referred to
herein as “Project Expense Loans.” Any Project Expense Loans provided
for under this Agreement shall be repaid only as provided in Section 6,
and no recourse for the payment thereof may be had against any other property
of the Company or against any Member.

 

B.                                     Any funds drawn down to pay Project Expenses
or the other items described in Section 5.5A above under any letters of
credit or escrows required to be maintained pursuant to the Project Documents
(to the extent such funds drawn are repaid by the Managing Member or one or
more of its Affiliates to the issuing bank or to the account party) shall be
deemed to be Project Expense Loans.

 

Section 5.6.                                   Third-Party Rights in Project Expense Loans

 

The obligation of the Managing Member to make Project Expense Loans
pursuant to Section 5.5A is for the benefit of the Company and the Members
and shall not inure to the benefit of any creditor of the Company other than a
Member, notwithstanding any pledge or assignment by the Company of this
Agreement or any rights hereunder.

 

35

 

Section 5.7.                                   No Third-Party Rights in Capital

 

The obligations or rights of the Company or of Members to make or
require any Capital Contribution under this Agreement or the Investor Note
shall not grant any rights to, or confer any benefits upon, any Person who is
not a Member. The making of a nonrecourse loan to the Company shall not make
the lender a Member.

 

Section 5.8.                                   Reserve Requirements

 

The Managing Member shall cause the Company to establish and maintain
all reserves required to be maintained by it pursuant to any and all of the
Project Documents and the Operating Documents.

SECTION 6:
PROFITS AND LOSSES; CREDITS; DISTRIBUTIONS

 

Section 6.1.                                   Profits and Losses

 

A.                                   After giving effect to the special allocation
provisions of Section 6.5, Operating Profits and Losses and Tax Credits
for any Company Fiscal Year shall be allocated 0.1% to the Managing Member and
99.9% to the Investor Member.

 

B.                                     After giving effect to the special allocation
provisions of Section 6.5, Profits and Losses from a Capital Transaction
in any Company Fiscal Year shall be allocated to and among the Members as
follows:

 

As to Profits:

 

First, an amount of Profits equal to the aggregate
negative balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Members having
negative balance Capital Accounts shall be allocated to such Members in
proportion to their negative Capital Account balances until all such Capital Accounts
have zero balances; and

 

Second, an amount of Profits shall be
allocated to each of the Members until the positive balance in the Capital
Account of each Member equals the amount of cash which would be distributed to
such Member if such Profits were cash available to be distributed in accordance
with the provisions of Clauses Fourth through Eighth of
Section 6.2B.

 

As to Losses:

 

First, an amount of Losses equal to the
aggregate positive balances (if any) in the Capital Accounts of all Members
having positive balance Capital Accounts shall be allocated to such Members in
proportion to their positive Capital Account balances until all such Capital
Accounts have zero balances; provided, however, that if the
amount of Losses so to be allocated is less than the sum of the positive
balances in the Capital Accounts of those Members having positive balances in
their Capital Accounts, then such Losses shall be allocated to the Members in
such proportions and in such amounts so that the Capital Account balances of
each Member shall equal, as nearly as possible, the amount such Member would
receive if an amount equal to the excess of (i) the sum of all Members’
balances in their Capital Accounts computed prior to the allocation of Losses
under this clause First over (ii) the aggregate amount of Losses to
be allocated to the Members pursuant to this clause First were
distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of Clauses Fourth
through Eighth of Section 6.2B; and

 

Second, the balance, if any, of such Losses shall
be allocated 0.1% to the Managing Member and 99.9% to the Investor Member.

 

37

 

Section 6.2.                                   Distributions Prior to Dissolution 

 

A.                                   Distribution of Cash Flow

 

(i)                                     Subject to the terms of the Operating
Documents and any applicable Regulations, any Cash Flow for each Fiscal Year
(or fractional portion thereof) shall be distributed or applied within ninety
(90) days after the end of each Fiscal Year in the following order of priority:

 

First, to distribute to the Members any amounts
due to them pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2A(ii);

 

Second, to pay the Asset Management Fee for the
current Fiscal Year and any unpaid amounts from any prior Fiscal Year;

 

Third, to distribute to the Investor Member its
Priority Return for the Fiscal Year plus any outstanding Priority Return for
any prior Fiscal Year;

 

Fourth, to repay any Project Expense Loans, with
payments to be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest and then to
principal;

 

Fifth, to the payment of the Incentive Management
Fee; and

 

Sixth, any balance remaining shall be distributed
99.9% to the Investor Member and 0.1% to the Managing Member.

 

(ii)                                  Special Tax Distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 6, in any Fiscal Year in which the Company
generates Operating Profits, Cash Flow in an amount equal to the product of
(i) the Operating Profits allocable to a Member and (ii) the
Applicable Tax Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be distributed to each Member
before any other Distributions or payments are made from Cash Flow in such
Fiscal Year. If there is insufficient Cash Flow in any Fiscal Year to pay any
amount due to the Investor Member pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.2A(ii), the Managing Member shall advance the amount of the
deficiency to the Company as a Project Expense Loan. For purposes of this
Section 6.2A(ii), the term “Applicable Tax Rate” shall mean the combined
effective federal, state, and local income tax rate applicable to a Member in
the Fiscal Year in which the Operating Profits are allocated to the Member.
Each of the Members shall notify the other Member, on or before
December 31 of each Fiscal Year, of its Applicable Tax Rate for such
Fiscal Year. If a Member fails to so notify the other Member, the Applicable
Tax Rate for the previous Fiscal Year shall remain in effect.

 

(iii)                               The Managing Member is authorized, but not
required, to make monthly distributions of Cash Flow to the Members following
the end of each calendar month in the amount of one-twelfth (1/12) of the
estimated amount of Cash Flow to be distributed to each for the Fiscal Year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing Cash Flow for each Fiscal Year is to be
distributed in the amounts and priorities set forth in Section 6.2A(i) above,
and any Member who receives monthly distributions aggregating more than the
amount it

 

38

 

is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 6.2A(i) for any
Fiscal Year shall immediately repay such excess to the Company.

 

B.                                     Distributions of Capital Proceeds.

 

Subject to the terms of the Operating Documents and to any applicable
Regulations and further subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 below,
any Capital Proceeds shall be distributed to and among the Members in the
following amounts and order of priority:

 

First, to discharge, to the extent required by any
lender or creditor, the debts and obligations of the Company (including any
unpaid Asset Management Fees but not including items listed in the ensuing
clauses of this Section 6.2B);

 

Second, to fund reserves for contingent or
unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company to the extent deemed
reasonable by the Managing Member (other than items listed in the ensuing
clauses of this Section 6.2B);

 

Third, to the payment of any outstanding Project
Expense Loans, with payments to be applied first to accrued but unpaid interest
and then to principal;

 

Fourth, to the distribution to the Investor Member
of any undistributed Priority Return for the current Fiscal Year and any prior
Fiscal Years;

 

Fifth, to the payment to the Investor Member of
any Recapture Adjustment Amount;

 

Sixth, in the event of a sale of the Project by
the Developer or other direct or indirect transfer of Developer’s interest in
the Project and a termination of the Lease, to the distribution to each Member
of a Special Sale Distribution; and

 

Seventh, to the distribution to each Member, on a pari
passu basis, of its Adjusted Capital Contribution;

 

Eighth, the balance of such proceeds, if any, shall
be distributed 49% to the Managing Member and 51% to the Investor Member.

 

Section 6.3.                                   Liquidation

 

A.                                   Upon the liquidation and dissolution of the
Company, unless the business of the Company is continued pursuant to the
provisions of Section 2.5 or Section 10.2 hereof, the Managing Member
shall liquidate the assets of the Company and cause the business of the Company
to be wound up in accordance with the Act and cause the Articles to be
cancelled in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5B.

 

B.                                     Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.3C below, any Capital Proceeds from a Terminating Capital
Transaction remaining after payment of, or adequate provision for, the debts
and obligations of the Company shall be distributed to those Members with
positive Capital Account balances (after taking into account all Capital
Account adjustments for the Company

 

39

 

taxable
year) in proportion to their positive Capital Account balances until such Capital
Accounts have been reduced to zero.

 

C.                                     Except to the extent of its Share of
Partnership Minimum Gain or Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (which
creates a deemed Deficit Restoration Obligation under the applicable provisions
of the Code and the Allocation Regulations), if any, no Member shall have a
Deficit Restoration Obligation nor shall any Member otherwise be required to
restore any deficit balance in its Capital Account at any time. If any Member
has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all
contributions, Distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including
the taxable year in which any liquidation of the Company or of such Member’s
interest in the Company occurs), such Member shall have no obligation to make
any contribution to the capital of the Company with respect to such deficit,
and such deficit shall not be considered to be a debt owed to the Company or to
any other Person for any purpose whatsoever.

 

D.                                    The parties intend that, as a result of the
application of the allocation and distribution provisions contained in this
Section 6, any Capital Proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction
will be distributed in the same manner as Capital Proceeds are distributed
under the provisions of Section 6.2B. If the Company is advised at any
time by the Accountants or Special Counsel that an actual distribution of
Capital Proceeds at the end of any Fiscal Year in accordance with the
provisions of Section 6.3B would not result in each Member receiving the amount
that it would have received if Section 6.2B rather than Section 6.3B
applied to such distribution, the Managing Member shall so notify the Investor
Member and, with the Consent of the Investor Member, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, is authorized and empowered to amend the provisions of
this Section 6 relating to the allocation of Profits and Losses (other
than the Regulatory Allocations) for such Fiscal Year (and for subsequent
Fiscal Years if necessary) to cure such defect consistent with the principles
set forth in the first sentence of this Section 6.3D.

 

Section 6.4.                                   Special Distribution and Payment Provisions

 

If the funds available for any Distribution to the Members are
insufficient to distribute to any class of Members the maximum amount which
otherwise would be distributable to such class under the applicable
provision(s) of this Section 6, the amount available for distribution
shall be distributed pro rata to the members of such class in proportion to
their respective paid-in Capital Contributions.

 

Section 6.5.                                   Special Allocation Provisions 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

 

A.                                   Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated
99.9% to the Investor Member and 0.1% to the Managing Member.

 

B.                                     Partner Nonrecourse Deductions shall be
allocated to and among the Members in the manner provided in the Allocation
Regulations.

 

40

 

C.                                     Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.5Q, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for a
Company Fiscal Year, the Members shall be allocated items of Company income and
gain in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.704-2(f) of the
Allocation Regulations.

 

D.                                    Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.5Q, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain for a Company Fiscal Year, then any Member with a Share of such
Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated items of Company
income and gain in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of
the Allocation Regulations.

 

E.                                      Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5A
through 6.5D above, in the event that any Member (who is not also a Managing
Member) unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions
described in Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the
Allocation 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 Allocation Regulations, the Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible. This Section 6.5E
is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” provision within the
meaning of the Allocation Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

 

F.                                      Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5A
through 6.5E above, in no event shall any Member be allocated Losses which
would cause it to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any
Company Fiscal Year. Any Losses which are not allocated to a Member by reason
of the application of the provisions of this Section 6.5F shall be
allocated to the other Members (to the extent otherwise permitted under the
terms of this Section 6.5).

 

G.                                     Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.5A
through 6.5F above, in the event that any Member has an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit at the end of any Company Fiscal Year, items of Company income
and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in the amount of such
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible.

 

H.                                    In accordance with Code
Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain,
loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of
the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so
as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property
to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset
Value. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company Property is
adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, 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 Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code
Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. Any elections
or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Managing
Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this
Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5H are solely for
purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way
be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of
Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement.

 

41

 

I.                                         Syndication Expenses for any Fiscal Year or
other period shall be specially allocated to the Investor Member.

 

J.                                        For purposes of determining the Profits,
Losses, Tax Credits or any other items allocable to any period, Profits,
Losses, Tax Credits and any such other items shall be determined on a daily,
monthly, or other basis, as determined by the Managing Member using any permissible
method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

K.                                    To the extent that interest on loans (or
other advances which are deemed to be loans) made by any Member to the Company
is determined to be deductible by the Company in excess of the amount of
interest actually paid by the Company, such additional interest deduction(s)
shall be allocated solely to such Member.

 

L.                                      Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Section 6, all Profits, Losses and Tax Credits allocated to each class
of Members shall be shared by the respective Members in such class in the ratio
which the paid-in Capital Contribution of each Member in such class bears to
the aggregate paid-in Capital Contributions of all Members in such class.

 

M.                                 For purposes of determining each Member’s
proportionate share of the excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company
pursuant to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Allocation Regulations, the
Investor Member shall be deemed to have a 99.9% interest in Profits and the
Managing Member shall be deemed to have a 0.1% interest in Profits.

 

N.                                    Any recapture of any Tax Credit shall be
allocated to and among the Members in the same manner in which the Members
shared such Tax Credit.

 

O.                                    In the event that the adjusted tax basis of
any investment credit property that has been placed in service by the Company
is increased pursuant to Section 50(c) of the Code, such increase
shall be allocated among the Members (as an item in the nature of income or
gain) in the same proportions as the investment tax credit that is recaptured
with respect to such property is shared among the Members. Any reduction in the
adjusted tax basis (or cost) of Company investment credit property pursuant to
Section 50(c) of the Code shall be allocated among the Members (as an
item in the nature of expenses or losses) in the same proportions as the basis
(or cost) of such property is allocated pursuant to Treasury Regulation
Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i).

 

P.                                      The basis (or cost) of any Company investment
credit property shall be allocated to and among the Members in accordance with
Treasury Regulation Section 1.46-3(f)(2)(i). All Tax Credits shall be
allocated to and among the Members in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Code.

 

Q.                                    If for any Fiscal Year the application of the
minimum gain chargeback provisions of Section 6.5C or Section 6.5D
would cause a distortion in the economic arrangement among the Members and it
is not expected that the Company will have sufficient other income to correct
that distortion, the Managing Member may request a waiver from the Commissioner
of the IRS of the application in whole or in part of Section 6.5C or
Section 6.5D in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f)(4) of the
Allocation Regulations. Furthermore, if additional exceptions to the minimum
gain chargeback requirements of the Allocation Regulations have been provided

 

42

 

through
revenue rulings or other IRS pronouncements, the Managing Member is authorized
to cause the Company to take advantage of such exceptions if to do so would be
in the best interest of a majority in interest of the Members.

 

R.                                     Any cancellation of debt income realized by
the Company shall be allocated to the Members in the same proportions as the
debt which was discharged was included in each Member’s tax basis in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Allocation Regulations.

 

S.                                      Except as otherwise specifically provided in
this Agreement, all items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and other
items not specifically provided for shall be allocated to and among the Members
in the same manner as Profits and Losses are allocated pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.1. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.5S
are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect,
or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account
or share of Profits, Losses, Tax Credits or Distributions pursuant to any other
provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 6.6.                                   Order of Application

 

The provisions of this Section 6 shall be applied in the order
required by the applicable provisions of the Allocation. Regulations or if no
such order is specified, in the manner determined by the Accountants.

of the Investor Member and, if required, any Requisite Approvals:

compensation for its services as Managing Member except as specifically
provided in this Agreement.

 

B.                                     The Managing Member, together with any
additional or successor Managing Member, may not be an individual.

 

C.                                     Either Member may engage in and have an
interest in other business ventures of every nature and description,
independently or with others, including, but not limited to, the

 

45

 

ownership,
financing, leasing, operation, construction, rehabilitation, renovation,
improvement, management and development of real property whether or not such
real property is directly or indirectly in competition with the Project.
Neither the Company nor any other Member shall have any rights by virtue of
this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits
derived therefrom, regardless of the location of such real property and whether
or not such venture was presented to such Member as a direct or indirect result
of its connection with the Company or the Project.

 

Section 7.3.                                   Business Management and Control; Designation
of Managing Member

 

A.                                   The Managing Member shall have the exclusive
right to manage the business of the Company and to be the Manager of the
Company and, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, shall have all
of the rights and powers granted to managers pursuant to the provisions of the
Act. No Member (except one who may also be a Managing Member, and then only in
its capacity as a Managing Member) shall (i) have any authority or right
to act for or bind the Company, or (ii) except as required by law,
participate in or have any control over the Company business. The Members
hereby consent to the exercise by the Managing Member of the powers conferred
on it by this Agreement. Any action required or permitted to be taken by a
corporate or other non-individual Managing Member hereunder may be taken by
such of its proper officers or agents as it may validly designate for such
purpose.

 

B.                                     The Managing Member is hereby authorized to
execute and deliver in the name and on behalf of the Company all such documents
and papers (including any required by any Lender or Governmental Authority) as
such Managing Member deems to be necessary or desirable in carrying out such
duties hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Managing Member is
authorized to have the Company enter into a “lockbox” arrangement with the
Developer’s Lenders, provided that arrangement will not restrict the ability of
the Company to make distributions or payments to the Investor Member as
contemplated by this Agreement, assuming the Company pays all rent due under
the Lease in a timely fashion. HMM is hereby designated as the initial Managing
Member. In the event that it or its successors shall become unable to serve in
such capacity or shall cease to be a Member without appointing a successor, the
remaining Members, including HMM’s successor, may, subject to any Requisite
Approvals, from time to time designate from among themselves by consent one or
more substitute or additional Managing Members. If for any reason no
designation is in effect, the powers of the Managing Member shall be exercised
by the majority consent of any remaining Members. Any action required or
permitted to be taken by a corporate or other non-individual Managing Member
hereunder may be taken by such of its proper officers or agents as it shall
validly designate for such purpose.

 

Section 7.4.                                   Duties and Obligations of the Managing Member

 

A.                                   The Managing Member shall use its best
efforts to carry out the purposes, business and objectives of the Company
referred to in Section 2.3, and shall devote to Company business such time
and effort as shall be reasonably required, in its sole discretion, for the
Company’s welfare and success, including, without limitation, such of its time
as may be necessary to (i) supervise the activities of the Hotel Manager,
(ii) make inspections of the Project to determine if the Project is being
properly maintained and that necessary repairs are being

 

46

 

made
thereto (and to take, or to cause the Hotel Manager to take, such steps as are
necessary to effectuate such repairs), (iii) prepare or cause to be prepared
all reports of operations which are to be furnished to the Members or which are
required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of the Operating Documents or by
any taxing bodies or any other Governmental Authorities, (iv) cause the
Project to be insured against fire and other risks covered by such insurance in
the manner specified in the Operating Documents, (v) obtain and keep in
force during the term of the Company business or rental interruption, worker’s
compensation (if applicable) and public liability insurance for the benefit of
the Company and its Members in amounts which satisfy the requirements specified
in the Operating Documents, (vi) enforce all material contracts entered
into for the benefit of the Company, and (vii) do all other things which
may be necessary to manage the affairs and business of the Company. All of the
insurance policies required by this Section 7.4A shall satisfy the
requirements specified in the Operating Documents. In addition, the Managing
Member shall promptly provide the Investor Member or its representatives with
copies of such insurance policies upon request from time to time. The Managing
Member shall review regularly all of the Company and Project insurance coverage
to insure that it is adequate and that it complies with the provisions of the
Operating Documents. Further, in the event of any casualty, to the extent
required by this Agreement and/or the Operating Documents and subject to the
applicable terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, and provided that the insurance
proceeds shall be made available therefor, the Managing Member shall repair any
damage to the Project which was caused by such event, so as to restore the
Project (as nearly as possible) to the condition and market value thereof
immediately prior to such occurrence.

 

B.                                     The Managing Member shall operate the Project
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (i) the Operating
Documents, (ii) all applicable statutes, rules and regulations with
respect to the Project, and (iii) any other agreement relating to the
Lease or the Project.

 

C.                                     The Managing Member shall prepare and submit
to the Secretary of the Treasury or the IRS (or any other Governmental
Authority designated for such purpose), on a timely basis, the Election (to the
extent required to be signed by the Company) and any and all other annual
reports, information returns and other certifications and information required
(i) to ensure that the Company (and its Members) qualify for the Historic
Tax Credit and (ii) to avoid recapture of the Historic Tax Credit or the
imposition of penalties or interest on the Company or any of its Members for
failure to comply with the requirements of the Code or any other Applicable
Laws relating to the Historic Tax Credit.

 

D.                                    The Managing Member shall (i) not store
(except in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and regulations pertaining
thereto), or dispose of any Hazardous Material at the Project, or at or on any
other site owned, occupied, or operated either by the Managing Member, or any Person
for whose conduct the Managing Member is or was responsible; (ii) neither
directly nor indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous
Material (except in compliance with all laws, ordinances, and regulations
pertaining thereto); (iii) provide the Investor Member with written notice
(x) upon the Managing Member’s obtaining knowledge of any potential or known
release, or threat of release, of any Hazardous Material at or from the Project
or any other site owned, occupied, or operated by the Managing Member, or any
Person for whose conduct the Managing Member is or was responsible or whose
liability may result in a lien on the Project; (y) upon the Managing Member’s
receipt of any notice to such effect from any Federal, state, or other Governmental
Authority; and (z) upon the Managing Member’s

 

47

 

obtaining
knowledge of any incurring of any expense or loss by any such Governmental
Authority in connection with the assessment, containment, or removal of any
Hazardous Material for which expense or loss the Managing Member may be liable
or for which expense or loss a lien may be imposed on the Project.

 

E.                                      If the Managing Member becomes aware of the
presence of levels of Hazardous Material at (or in connection with the
operations of) the Project, in concentrations and under conditions deemed
detrimental to human health under any applicable Hazardous Substance Laws,
and/or in quantities or proportions that exceed safe limits for such substance
established by any such Hazardous Substance Laws, the Managing Member shall
(i) notify all Members of such situation and (ii) take all actions
necessary to correct such situation as expeditiously as possible and to prevent
the Project from being in violation of any Hazardous Substance Laws, provided,
however, that the Managing Member may use Company funds for such purposes and

constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Member or such
Affiliate.  To the full extent permitted
by law, each Managing Member

 

50

 

and its Affiliates shall
be indemnified by the Company from and against any Adverse Consequences
sustained by it in connection with the Company, provided that the same were not
the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Managing Member or such Affiliate and were the result of a course of conduct
which such Managing Member or Affiliate, in good faith, determined was in the
best interest of the Company.  Any
indemnity under this Section 7.7 shall be provided out of and to the
extent of Company assets only, and no Member shall have any personal liability

not limited to consultants, engineers and experts, pursuant to any contract
entered into by the Managing Member on behalf of the Company in order to carry
out the objectives of the Company, or (ii) apply Company funds, including,
without limitation, proceeds of public liability insurance in favor of the
Company, to cover damage to property or personal injuries to unaffiliated
parties.

 

Section 7.8.            Liability of Managing Member to

otherwise to any Member for any act performed within the scope of the authority
conferred by this Agreement, except for acts of gross negligence or willful
misconduct or for damages arising from any material misrepresentation or breach

in doubt as to the propriety of any proposed action or omission under the terms
of this Agreement, the Managing Member or such Affiliate may, but shall not be
under any duty to, seek the ratification of such action or omission by the
Consent of the Investor Member; if such Consent of the Investor Member is
obtained thereto, the Managing Member or such Affiliate shall be fully
protected in relying thereon, and actions or omissions in reliance thereon
shall not be deemed to be a breach of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

B.            In the event that the Investor
Member becomes personally liable for Company violations with respect to the

indemnify and hold harmless the Investor Member from and against any and all

 

51

 

Environmental Costs or
other Adverse Consequences to the extent that the Investor Member is required
personally to discharge such Environmental Costs or other Adverse Consequences
in whole or in part from any source other than Company resources.  The foregoing indemnification shall be a
recourse obligation of the Managing Member and shall survive the dissolution of
the Company with respect to violations which occurred prior to any Terminating
Event with respect to the Managing Member against whom the indemnification
provided in this paragraph is sought to be enforced.

 

Section 7.9.            Tax Matters Partner

or Bankruptcy of the Person serving as the TMP, any successor to the interest
of the TMP pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Section 7.9 shall
be designated as the successor TMP, but such designee shall not become the TMP
until the designation of such Person has been approved by the Consent of the
Investor Member, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  In addition to the foregoing,
should the Managing Member be removed as such, it shall have the right to resign
as TMP by giving thirty (30) days written notice to each Member.  Following such a resignation, the removed
Managing Member agrees to cooperate with any subsequent TMP and to provide
records relating to the Company prior to the date of such removal as are
reasonably requested by the subsequent TMP.

 

C.            The TMP shall employ experienced tax
counsel to represent the Company in connection with any audit or investigation
of the Company by the IRS, and in connection with all subsequent administrative
and judicial proceedings arising out of such audit.  The fees and expenses of such counsel shall
be a Company expense and shall be paid by the Company.  Such counsel shall be responsible for
representing the Company; it shall be the responsibility of the Managing Member
and of the Investor Member, at their expense, to employ tax counsel to
represent their respective separate interests.

informed of all administrative and judicial proceedings, as required by
Section 6623(g) of the Code, and shall furnish to each Member who so
requests in writing, a copy of each notice or other communication received by
the TMP from the IRS (except such notices or communications as are sent
directly to such requesting Member by the IRS). All third party costs and
expenses incurred by the TMP in serving as the TMP shall be Company expenses
and shall be paid by the Company, provided, however, that if the
Company does not have sufficient funds to pay such costs and expenses, the
Members shall make additional Capital Contributions to the Company to pay such
costs and expenses, pro rata in accordance with their respective interests in
Operating Profits and Losses, within thirty (30) days after notice from the
TMP.

 

E.             The TMP shall not have the
authority, unless such action has been approved by the Consent of the Investor
Member, to do all or any of the following:

 

52

 

(i)            to enter into a
settlement agreement with the IRS which purports to bind members other than the
TMP,

 

(ii)           to file a petition
as contemplated in Section 6226(a) or 6228 of the Code,

 

(iii)          to intervene in any
action as contemplated in Section 6226(b) of the Code,

 

(iv)          to file any request
contemplated in Section 6227(b) of the Code, or

 

(v)           to enter into an
agreement extending the period of limitations as contemplated in
Section 6229(b)(l)(B) of the Code.

 

F.             The relationship of the TMP to the
Investor Member is that of a fiduciary, and the TMP has a fiduciary obligation
to perform its duties, subject to Section 7.9E, in such manner as will
serve the best interests of the Company and the Investor Member.

 

G.            Subject to the provisions of
Section 5.6, the Company shall indemnify the TMP (including the officers
and directors of a corporate TMP or member of a limited liability company TMP)
from and against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses
(including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred by it in any civil, criminal or
investigative proceeding in which it is involved or threatened to be involved
by reason of being the TMP, provided that the TMP acted in good faith, within
what is reasonably believed to be the scope of its authority and for a purpose
which it reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company or the
Members.  The TMP shall not be indemnified
under this provision against any liability to the Company or its Members to any
greater extent than the indemnification allowed by Section 7.7 of this
Agreement.  The indemnification provided
hereunder shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which
those indemnified may be entitled under any applicable statute, agreement, vote
of the Members, or otherwise.

filing of any lien against the Leasehold Interest, or non-compliance with any

Company or any of its property that is likely to have a material adverse effect
on the Company or its property, any material change to the Operating Documents,

timing of any Tax Credit, or any occurrence that would cause any representation
or warranty of the Managing Member herein to become untrue or inaccurate in any
material respect.

administrative regulation or court decree.

Except for the HTC Loan and any Project Expense Loans, no loans have
been or will be made between the Company and any Developer Entity and no loans
have been or will

 

57

 

be made between the Hotel
Manager and any Developer Entity.  The
Company’s existence is and will not be dependent on the Managing Member or any
other Developer Entity being its managing member, and the Company’s business
could be maintained even if the Managing Member or any other Developer Entity
were not its manager.

 

Section 7.12.          Indemnification

 

A.            In the event that the Managing
Member breaches any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained
in Section 7.11 above, the Managing Member shall release, indemnify and
hold the Investor Member harmless from and against any and all Adverse
Consequences which the Investor Member suffers or incurs, or to which the
Investor Member becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of, relating to,
in the nature of or caused by such breach.

 

B.            If any third party shall notify the
Investor Member with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for
indemnification against the Managing Member under this Section 7.12, the
Investor Member shall notify the Managing Member (referred to in this Section
7.12 as the “Indemnitor”) thereof promptly; provided, however,
that no delay on the part of the Investor Member in notifying the Indemnitor
shall relieve the Indemnitor from any liability or obligation hereunder unless
(and then solely to the extent) the Indemnitor thereby is damaged.  In the event that the Indemnitor notifies the
Investor Member within thirty (30) days after the Investor Member has given
notice of the matter that the Indemnitor is assuming the defense thereof,
(i) the Indemnitor will defend the Investor Member against the matter with
counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Member,
(ii) the Investor Member may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost
and expense (except that the Indemnitor will be responsible for the reasonable
fees and expenses of the separate co-counsel to the extent that the Investor
Member concludes reasonably that the counsel the Indemnitor has selected has a
conflict of interest), (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry
of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter without
the Consent of the Investor Member, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and (iv) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any
judgment with respect to the matter, or enter into any settlement which does
not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or claimant in the matter
releases the Investor Member from all liability with respect thereto, without
the Consent of the Investor Member, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.  In the event that the
Indemnitor does not notify the Investor Member within thirty (30) days after
the Investor Member has given notice of the matter that the Indemnitor is
assuming the defense thereof, however, the Investor Member may defend against,
or enter into any settlement with respect to, the matter in any manner it
reasonably may deem to be appropriate.

 

C.            In addition to the foregoing,
whether or not the Indemnitor has breached any of its representations, warranties
or covenants contained herein, if the Investor Member is made a party to any
suit or proceeding by virtue of its being a Member of the Company (other than
in connection with an audit by the IRS of the Investor Member’s tax returns),
the Indemnitor shall use its best efforts to have the suit or proceeding
dismissed, shall assume the defense of such suit or proceeding if it is not
dismissed, with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Investor
Member, shall pay all costs associated therewith and shall indemnify and hold
the Investor Member harmless from and against any and all Adverse Consequences
which the

 

58

 

Investor Member suffers
or incurs, or to which the Investor Member becomes subject, resulting from,
arising out of, relating to or caused by such action against the Investor
Member.

 

59

 

SECTION 8:  MATERIAL DEFAULT

 

Section 8.1.            General

 

If a Material
Default occurs and is continuing, the following provisions shall apply.

 

Section 8.2.            Cure Rights and Penalties

 

A.            In the event that a Material Default
occurs, the Managing Member shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cure
such Default.  The Managing Member shall
have thirty (30) days from the date of the default (or from the date of notice
of default in the event notice is given) to cure the Material Default; provided,
however, that if a Material Default, other than a monetary default,
cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days, it shall be sufficient if
the Managing Member commences the cure within thirty (30) days and proceeds to
cure diligently thereafter, provided that the cure is completed within ninety
(90) days, or such lesser period as is required to cure the Material Default,
after receipt of the notice to cure. 
Provided that the Managing Member provides the Investor Member the
information and documentation required by Section 9.1, the Investor Member
shall notify the Managing Member if the Investor Member believes there exists a
Material Default.  In such case, the cure
periods described in the preceding sentence shall apply beginning with the date
the Managing Member receives notice from the Investor Member.  If the Managing Member fails to cure within
the specified time period, the following penalties shall apply.

 

B.            In the event the Managing Member
fails to cure a Material Default within the time periods set forth in
Section 8.2A, the Investor Member shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to require the Managing Member to purchase the Interest of the
Investor Member in the Company for a price equal to the sum of (i) the Put
Price described in the Purchase Option, (ii) any Recapture Adjustment
Amount due the Investor Member pursuant to Section 5.3G as a result of the
purchase of the Investor Member’s Interest, plus (iii) Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($500,000).  The
Investor Member shall provide the Managing Member with written notice that it
intends to exercise its put right hereunder, and such payment shall be made to
the Investor Member within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of such
notice by the Managing Member.  Upon
receipt of the full amount due under this paragraph, the Investor Member shall
withdraw form the Company and cease to be a Member of the Company.  Should the Investor Member elect not to have
its Interest purchased upon the occurrence of a Material Default that is not
timely cured, the Investor Member shall continue as the Investor Member of the
Company with all rights granted to it under this Agreement.

SECTION 9:  BOOKS AND REPORTING, ACCOUNTING, TAX
ELECTIONS, ETC.

 

Section 9.1.            Books and Reporting

 

A.            The Managing Member shall maintain
or cause to be maintained for the term of the Company a complete and accurate
set of books and supporting documentation of transactions with respect to the
conduct of the Company’s business.  The
books of the Company shall be kept on the accrual basis and shall at all times
be maintained at the principal office of the Company.  Each Member and its duly authorized
representatives shall have the right to examine the books of the Company and
all other records and information concerning the operation of the Property from
time to time without prior notice during regular business hours provided that
such examination shall not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with the Company’s
business or operations and the costs of such examination shall be borne by the
examining Member.

 

B.            The books of the Company shall be
examined in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards annually as
of the end of each Fiscal Year of the Company by the Accountants.  The Managing Member shall determine and
prepare a balance sheet as of the end of each such Fiscal Year and statements
of income, members’ equity and changes in financial position for such Fiscal
Year.  Such balance sheet and statements
shall be accompanied by the opinion of the Accountants that such balance sheet
and statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Uniform
System of Accounts applied consistently with prior periods, identifying any
matters to which the Accountants take exception and stating, to the extent
practicable, the effect of each such exception on such financial statements.  As a note to such financial statements, the
Managing Member shall prepare (or shall cause to have prepared) a
schedule of all loans to the Company, setting forth the section of
this Agreement under which such debt was incurred and the purpose for which
such loan was applied by the Company and such schedule will be reviewed by
the Accountants.  Such
schedule shall demonstrate that loans have been made, used, carried on the
books of the Company (and repaid, if applicable) in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.  The
Managing Member shall, promptly upon receipt of such balance sheet and
statements and in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end
of each Fiscal Year, transmit to the Investor Member a copy thereof.

 

C.            The Accountants also shall review
and sign the federal and state income tax returns of the Company.  Subject to the provisions of the last
sentence of Section 9.1B, the Managing Member or its designee shall
complete the books of the Company in such time as will allow the Accountants to
complete such tax returns within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of
such Fiscal Year.  The Managing Member
shall cause such tax returns to be filed within such time periods and shall
immediately upon the filing thereof transmit to the Investor Member a copy of
the complete federal Company tax return (i.e., Form 1065 and all accompanying
schedules, including Schedule K-1) and all state income tax returns.  If the Managing Member fails to complete such
tax returns and to transmit such tax returns and Schedule K-l to the
Investor Member within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of such
Fiscal Year, the Managing Member shall be subject to a penalty of $200 for each
day such tax returns and Schedule K-l are delayed beyond such 120-day
period, which penalty shall be paid to the Investor Member within 10 days
following the delivery of such returns and Schedule K-l; provided,
however, such penalty shall be waived if the delay is solely caused by the
Accountants.  Unless and until such tax
returns and Schedule K-1 are delivered to the

 

61

 

Investor Member, the
Managing Member and its Affiliates other than the Hotel Manager shall not be
entitled to receive any Distributions or fees to which they may otherwise be
entitled under Section 6 hereof, and the Investor Member shall not be
required to pay any additional Installment of its Capital Contribution.  Such Distributions and payments of fees and
the obligation of the Investor Member to pay any additional Installment of its
Capital Contribution shall be restored and allowed only upon the delivery to
the Investor Member of such tax returns and Schedule K-l and the payment
of the $200 per day penalty described above and any interest or penalties imposed
on the Investor Member by the IRS or any other taxing authority as a result of
the Managing Member’s failure to deliver such tax returns and Schedule K-l
in a timely fashion.  In the event that
any such items will not be delivered within the time limits set forth herein,
the Managing Member shall immediately notify the Investor Member, and shall
furnish it with copies of any extensions relating thereto.

 

D.            The reports and estimates described
in this Section 9.1 shall clearly indicate the methods under which they
were prepared and shall be made at the expense of the Company.

 

E.             If the Managing Member fails to
complete such tax returns and submit such Schedule K-1 on a timely basis,
the Investor Member may select a firm of accountants who shall prepare such
returns and Schedule K-1.  The
Managing Member shall immediately furnish all necessary documentation and other
information so as to prepare such tax returns and such Forms K-1 to such
accountants.  Such firm of accountants
shall be paid out of Company funds or, if and to the extent that no Company
funds are available therefor, by the Managing Member.

 

F.             Annual pro forma operating and
capital budgets shall be prepared by the Managing Member and furnished to the
Investor Member within ninety (90) days after the beginning of each Fiscal
Year.  In addition, the Managing Member
shall furnish to the Investor Member copies of all operating budgets, capital
budgets, monthly or other periodic reports, and financial statements required
to be delivered to the Company by the Hotel Manager from time to time pursuant
to the provisions of the Hotel Management Agreement.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Managing Member shall furnish, at the time of the delivery of
its annual operating budget, projections of income, expenses and Cash Flow for
the period covered by such budget.  Such
projections shall be consistent with the information prepared by the Hotel
Manager and with the standards set forth in the Uniform System of Accounts and
shall include projections of average daily room rates and occupancy
levels.  The capital budget furnished by
the Managing Member shall contain similar information prepared in a similar
manner for all capital expenditures as well as expenses for FF&E.  The Managing Member also shall prepare and
furnish to the Investor Member an estimate of the Profits and Losses of the
Company for federal tax purposes for the current Fiscal Year not later than
September 30 of each year.

 

G.            The Managing Member shall send to
the Investor Member no later than 45 days following the close of each calendar
quarter a financial report providing the following information (which need not
be audited): (i) a balance sheet as at the end of such quarter;
(ii) a statement of income for such quarter; (iii) a quarterly
financial summary in the form of Exhibit E; and (iv) a
report of the significant activities of the Company during the fiscal quarter.

 

H.            The Managing Member may from time to
time change the Accountants for the Company to another firm of certified
independent accountants; provided, however, that unless

 

62

 

both (i) the
proposed new Accountants are a firm of nationally recognized standing with
substantial experience with projects eligible for the Historic Tax Credit, and
(ii) prior to any such change the Managing Member shall have delivered to
the Investor Member a certificate to the effect that such change has not been
necessitated by any dispute over Company accounting practices and procedures,
such change in Accountants shall require the Consent of the Investor Member.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor Member hereby agrees that following
the last Fiscal Year in which the Company receives Historic Tax Credits, the
Managing Member may engage David Berdon & Co. LLP of New York, NY as
the Company’s Accountants.

 

Section 9.2.            Bank Accounts

 

The bank accounts
of the Company shall be maintained in such banking institutions authorized to
do business in the State or, subject to any Requisite Approvals, such other
states as the Managing Member shall determine, and withdrawals shall be made on
such signature or signatures as the Managing Member shall determine.  The Company’s funds shall not be commingled with
the funds of any other Person and shall not be used except for the business of
the Company.  All deposits (including
security deposits and other funds required by any Lender to be placed in escrow
and other funds not needed in the operation of the Company’s business) shall be
deposited, to the extent permitted under the Project Documents, in
interest-bearing accounts or invested in obligations of or guaranteed by the
United States, any state thereof, or any agency, municipality or other
political subdivision of any of the foregoing, commercial paper (investment
grade), certificates of deposit and time deposits in commercial banks with
capital in excess of $50,000,000 and in mutual (money market) funds investing
in any or all of the foregoing; provided, however, that any funds
required to be placed in escrow by the Lender shall be controlled by such
Lender and the Managing Member shall not be permitted to make any withdrawal
from the funds without the express written consent of the Lender to the extent
required.

 

Section 9.3.            Tax Elections

 

Subject to the
provisions of Section 9.4 hereof and to the provisions of the HTC Loan
Agreement, all elections required or permitted to be made by the Company under
the Code shall be made by the Managing Member in such manner as it determines
to be most advantageous to the Investor Member. 
The Managing Member may consult with the Accountants in making such
determination.

 

Section 9.4.            Special Adjustments

 

A.            In the event of a Transfer of all or
any part of the Interest of any Member, the Company shall elect, if requested
to do so by any Member, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code (or
corresponding provisions of succeeding law) to adjust the basis of Company
assets.  Any adjustments made pursuant to
Section 754 shall affect only the successor in interest to the
transferring Member.  Each Member will
furnish the Company with all information necessary to give effect to such
election.

 

B.            If, as a result of an adjustment
made by the IRS and accepted by the Company, any item shall be capitalized,
then the depreciation or cost recovery for the amount so capitalized

 

63

 

shall be appropriately
allocated, as determined by the Accountants, to those Members affected by the
adjustment.

 

Section 9.5.            Fiscal
Year

 

The Fiscal Year of the
Company shall be the calendar year, or such other year as may be required by
the Code.

NEW MANAGING MEMBER

 

Section 10.1.          Voluntary Withdrawal

 

A.            The Managing Member shall not have
the right to withdraw voluntarily from the Company or otherwise to Transfer all
or a portion of its Interest without the Consent of the Investor Member and the
receipt of all Requisite Approvals.

 

B.            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Managing Member may at any time propose to the Investor Member a Person to
serve as his or its successor.  If the
Consent of the Investor Member is obtained, and all Requisite Approvals are
obtained to such withdrawal and the admission of such successor, all Members
hereby agree that this Agreement and the Articles shall be appropriately
amended to effect such withdrawal and admission.

 

C.            Further notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Managing Member may Transfer its Interest without the Consent of
the Investor Member provided that the Guaranty Agreements shall remain in
effect following such Transfer.

 

Section 10.2.          Continuation

 

In the event of
the occurrence of a Terminating Event with respect to the Managing Member, the
business of the Company shall be continued unless, within ninety (90) days
following such Terminating Event, the remaining Members of the Company
affirmatively elect to dissolve the Company and discontinue its business and
operations.

 

Section 10.3.          Successor Managing Member

 

A.            Upon the occurrence of any
Terminating Event referred to in Section 10.2, the remaining Members may
(but are not required to) designate a Person to become a successor Managing
Member to the Managing Member as to whom such event shall have occurred.  Any Person so designated, subject to the
Consent of the Investor Member (and, if required by the Act or any other
applicable law, the consent of any other Member so required), shall become a
successor Managing Member upon its written agreement to be bound by the Operating
Documents and by the provisions of this Agreement.

 

B.            If any Terminating Event referred to

Member

 

A.            Except as provided in
Section 10.3, no assignee or transferee of all or any part of the Interest
of the Managing Member shall have any automatic right to become the Managing
Member.  Upon the designation of a
successor Managing Member (if any) pursuant to Section 10.3 (but not a removal
of the Managing Member and designation of a successor pursuant to the terms of
Section 8), such successor Managing Member shall have the obligation to
acquire the predecessor Managing Member’s Interest by paying to such Managing
Member or its representatives the fair market value of such Interest (provided

B.            If no successor Managing Member is
designated or if the designated successor Managing Member of the predecessor
Managing Member does not desire to purchase the Interest of the predecessor
Managing Member, such Interest of the predecessor Managing Member shall be
deemed to be that of a Special Class Member, and the holder thereof shall
be entitled only to such rights as the assignee of an Interest may have as such
under the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof, the Act and other applicable
laws of the State.

 

C.            Anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, if the Managing Member withdraws voluntarily in
violation of the provisions of Section 10.1, it shall remain liable for
all of its obligations under this Agreement, for its obligations under the
Project Documents, for all its other obligations and liabilities hereunder
incurred or accrued prior to the date of its withdrawal and for any loss or
damage which the Company or any of its Members may incur as a result of such
withdrawal, except for any loss or damage attributable to the activities of the
remaining and/or successor Managing Members subsequent to such withdrawal.

condition of receiving any interest in the Company or Company Property, agree
to comply with the terms of the Operating Documents and by the provisions of
this Agreement to the same extent and on the same terms as any other Managing
Member.

Member, pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 10, the

the Articles, also reflecting such admission, shall be filed in the manner and
to the extent required by the Act.

 

66

 

B.            Each Member hereby consents to and
authorizes any admission or substitution of a Managing Member or any other
transaction, including, without limitation, the continuation of the Company
business, which has been authorized by the requisite percentage of Members
under the provisions of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of
Section 10.7, and hereby ratifies and confirms each amendment of this
Agreement and/or the Articles necessary or appropriate to give effect to any
such transaction.

 

Section 10.7.          Admission of a Managing Member

 

Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement, no Person shall be admitted as an
additional or successor Managing Member without the written approval of all
Members, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 11.1.          Right
To Assign

 

A.            The Investor Member may not Transfer

become interested with it in the Company, without the consent of the Managing
Member, which consent may be given or withheld in its sole discretion.

 

B.            Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 11.1A above, the Investor Member shall have the right, at any time
or from time to time, to Transfer its Interest to any of its Affiliates without

Section 11.2.          Restrictions

 

A.            No Transfer of the Interest of any

an Interest be Transferred to a minor or to an incompetent.

 

C.            The Managing Member may require, as

(ii) furnish it with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the
Company that such Transfer complies with applicable federal and state
securities laws.

 

D.            Any Transfer in contravention of any
of the provisions of Section 11.1 or this Section 11.2 shall be void

Section 11.3.          Substitute Members

 

A.            In the event of a Transfer permitted
under the provisions of Section 11.1 above, the Investor Member shall have
the right to substitute the Assignee as a Member (a “Substitute Member”)
in its place without the consent of any other Member.  In all other cases, the consent of the
Managing Member shall be required for substitution of an Assignee of the
Investor Member as a Member.  Any Substitute
Member shall, as a condition of receiving any interest in the Company, agree to
be bound (to the same extent as its assignor was bound) by the Operating
Documents and by the provisions of this Agreement including, without
limitation, the obligation to make all payments required to be made under the
Investor Note as and when the same are due.

 

B.            Upon the admission of a Substitute
Member, the Schedule shall be amended to reflect the name, address and
Percentage Interest of such Substitute Member and to eliminate the name,
address and Percentage Interest of its assignor, and an amendment to the
Articles reflecting such admission shall be filed, if required by the Act, in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Act.  Each Substitute Member shall execute such
instrument or instruments as

A.            In the event of the death or
incapacity of any Member who is a natural person, his legal representatives

Company.

 

B.            An Assignee of a Member who does not
become a Substitute Member in accordance with Section 11.3 shall, if such
assignment is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, have the right to
receive the same share of Profits, Losses, Tax Credits and Distributions of the
Company to which the assigning Member would have been entitled if no such
assignment had been made by such Member but, except as otherwise required under
the Act, shall have no other rights granted to the Members under this
Agreement.

 

C.            Except as otherwise provided in
Section 11.1, any Member who shall assign all of its Interest shall cease to
be a Member of the Company, and shall no longer have any rights or privileges
or obligations of a Member except that, unless and until the Assignee of such
Member is admitted to the Company as a Substitute Member in accordance with
Section 11.3, said assigning Member shall retain the statutory rights and
be subject to the statutory obligations of an assignor member under the Act as
well as the obligation to make the Capital Contributions attributable to the
Interest in question, if any portion thereof remains unpaid.

 

D.            In the event of any assignment of an
Interest, there shall be filed with the Company a duly executed and
acknowledged counterpart of the instrument making such assignment; such
instrument must evidence the written acceptance of the Assignee to all the
terms and provisions of this Agreement; and if such an instrument is not so
filed, the Company need not recognize any such assignment for any purpose.

 

E.             An Assignee of an Interest who does
not become a Substitute Member as provided in Section 11.3 and who desires
to make a further assignment of its Interest shall be subject to the provisions
of this Section 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member
desiring to make an assignment of its Interest.

error by reason of any service effected in accordance with the provisions of

Agreement, has signified its consent to the specific consent provisions set
forth herein.  However, whenever the
applicable laws of the State require a higher percentage of consent than those

notice of the meeting to each Member entitled to vote at the meeting.  The notice shall state the time, place, and
purpose of the meeting.  Notwithstanding

if before or after the meeting the Member signs a waiver of the notice which is
filed with the records of Member’s meetings, or is present at the meeting in
person or by proxy.  Unless this
Agreement provides otherwise, at a meeting of Members, the presence in person
or by proxy of Members holding not less than a majority of the Percentage
Interests of the Members shall constitute a quorum.  A Member may vote either in person or by
written proxy signed by the Member or by the Member’s duly authorized
attorney-in-fact.

 

C.            Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, the affirmative vote of Members holding at least a majority of the

D.            In lieu of holding a meeting, the
Members may vote or otherwise take action by a written instrument indicating
the consent of Members holding all of the Percentage Interests of the Members.

In the event that
the Investor Member breaches any of its representations, warranties or
covenants contained in this Agreement, the Investor Member shall release,
indemnify and hold the Managing Member harmless from and against any and all
Adverse Consequences which the Managing Member suffers or incurs, or to which
the Managing Member becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of, relating
to, in the nature or caused by such breach. 
In the event of any claim for indemnification by the Managing Member,
procedures described in Section 7.12B shall apply.

9.             The Building was placed in service
at least once by a prior owner before the beginning of its rehabilitation by

10.           The Building was first placed in
service prior to 1936.

 

11.           The Building is not listed
individually nor is it located in an historic district that is listed in the
National Register of Historic Places maintained by the Department of Interior
pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.

Exhibit D

 

TAX CERTIFICATE

 

Reference is
hereby made to the Operating Agreement dated as of August 28, 2000 (the “Operating
Agreement”), of Hudson Leaseco LLC, a New York limited liability company
(the “Company”).

 

Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the
Operating Agreement.

 

In order to induce
Chevron TCI, Inc. (“Chevron”) to contribute capital as the Investor
Member of the Company, the undersigned, who is the Managing Member of the
Company, hereby certifies as follows:

 

1.             The Company has not elected, and
will not in the future elect, to be treated as a corporation for federal tax
purposes.

 

2.             The Building has been and will be
financed, rehabilitated, and used substantially in the manner described in the
Projections, it being noted that any refinancing will be subject to market
conditions at the time of such refinancing and that no certification as to the
result of operations or the final cost of development is intended to be made
hereby.

 

3.             The assumptions as to
rehabilitation costs for each taxable year shown in the Projections correspond,
or can reasonably be expected to correspond, in all material respects, to the
actual work that has been or will be completed within that taxable year.

 

4.             The assumptions in the Projections
as to the annual revenues and expenditures of the Company for each taxable year
shown in the Projections were reasonable assumptions at the time the
Projections were prepared.

 

5.             The qualified rehabilitation
expenditures (within the meaning of section 47(c)(2) of the Code)
incurred during the 24-month period ending on the Credit Commencement Date (the
“Measuring Period”) exceed the greater of (i) $5,000 or
(ii) the adjusted basis (within the meaning of Section 47(c)(1)(C)(i) of
the Code) of the Building and its structural components as of the first day of
the Measuring Period.

 

6.             Substantially all of the
expenditures included in the calculation of qualified rehabilitation
expenditures shown in the Projections for the Building are properly chargeable
to a capital account for commercial real property (or an addition or
improvement thereto) for which depreciation is allowable under Section 168
of the Code.

 

7.             The Developer did not use for
personal or business purposes or place in service any portion of the Building
on or prior to the Admission Date
[except                       ].
As of the Admission Date, the Building was not in a condition or state of
readiness for its operation or occupancy as a hotel.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, as of the Admission Date, (i) the Completion Date had not
occurred, and (ii) the Building had not received nor was it in a position
to receive a certificate of occupancy permitting its use and operation for its
intended purpose. [describe exceptions]

ALTA Loan Policy
(10-17-92)

 

 

(c)   Amount of
Insurance.  The amount of insurance after
the acquisition or after the conveyance shall in neither event exceed the least
of:

 

(i) the Amount of
Insurance stated in Schedule A;

 

(ii) the amount of the
principal of the indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage as of Date of
Policy, interest thereon, expenses of foreclosure, amounts advanced pursuant to
the insured mortgage to assure compliance with laws or to protect the lien of
the insured mortgage prior to the time of acquisition of the estate or interest
in the land and secured thereby and reasonable amounts expended to prevent
deterioration of improvements, but reduced by the amount of all payments made;
or

 

(iii) the amount paid by
any governmental agency or governmental instrumentality, if the agency or
instrumentality is the insured claimant, in the acquisition of the estate or
interest in satisfaction of its insurance contract or guaranty.

 

3.     NOTICE OF CLAIM TO BE GIVEN BY INSURED
CLAIMANT

 

The insured shall notify
the Company promptly in writing (i) in case of any litigation as set forth
in Section 4(a) below, (ii) in case knowledge shall come to an
insured hereunder of any claim of title or interest which is adverse to the
title to the estate or interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as
insured, and which might cause loss or damage for which the Company may be
liable by virtue of this policy, or (iii) if title to the estate or
interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as insured, is rejected as
unmarketable.  If prompt notice shall not be given to the Company, then as
to the insured all liability of the Company shall terminate with regard to the
matter or matters for which prompt notice is required; provided, however, that
failure to notify the Company shall in no case prejudice the rights of any
insured under this policy unless the Company shall be prejudiced by the failure
and then only to the extent of the prejudice.

 

4.              DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION OF ACTIONS; DUTY OF INSURED CLAIMANT TO
COOPERATE

 

(a)   Upon written request by the insured and
subject to the options contained in Section 6 of these Conditions and
Stipulations, the Company, at its own cost and without unreasonable delay,
shall provide for the defense of an insured in litigation in which any third
party asserts a claim adverse to the title or interest as insured, but only as
to those stated causes of action alleging a defect, lien or encumbrance or
other matter insured against by this policy.  The Company shall have the
right to select counsel of its choice (subject to the right of the insured to
object for reasonable cause) to represent the insured as to those stated causes
of action and shall not be liable for and will not pay the fees of any other
counsel.  The Company will not pay any fees, costs or expenses incurred by
the insured in the defense of those causes of action which allege matters not
insured against by this policy.

 

(b)   The Company shall have the right, at its own
cost, to institute and prosecute any action or proceeding or to do any other
act which in its opinion may be necessary or desirable to establish the title
to the estate or interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as insured, or
to prevent or reduce loss or damage to the insured.  The Company may take any appropriate action
under the terms of this policy, whether or not it shall be liable hereunder,
and shall not thereby concede liability or waive any provision of this policy.
If the Company shall exercise its rights under this paragraph, it shall do so
diligently.

 

(c)   Whenever the Company shall have brought an
action or interposed a defense as required or permitted by the provisions of
this policy, the Company may pursue any litigation to final determination by a
court of competent jurisdiction and expressly reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to appeal from any adverse judgment or order.

 

(d)   In all cases where this policy permits or
requires the Company to prosecute or provide for the defense of any action or
proceeding, the insured shall secure to the Company the right to so prosecute
or provide defense in the action or proceeding, and all appeals therein, and
permit the Company to use, at its option, the name of the insured for this
purpose.  Whenever requested by the Company, the insured, at the Company’s
expense, shall give the Company all reasonable aid (i) in any action or
proceeding, securing evidence, obtaining witnesses, prosecuting or defending
the action or proceeding, or effecting settlement, and (ii) in any other
lawful act which in the opinion of the Company may be necessary or desirable to
establish the title to the estate or interest or the lien of the insured
mortgage, as insured.  If the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the
insured to furnish the required cooperation, the Company’s obligations to the
insured under the policy shall terminate, including any liability or obligation
to defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or
matters requiring such cooperation.

 

5.     PROOF OF LOSS OR DAMAGE

 

In addition to and after
the notices required under Section 3 of these Conditions and Stipulations
have been provided the Company, a proof of loss or damage signed and sworn to
by the insured claimant shall be furnished to the Company within 90 days after
the insured claimant shall ascertain the facts giving rise to the loss or
damage.  The proof of loss or damage shall describe the defect in, or lien
or encumbrance on the title, or other matter insured against by this policy
which constitutes the basis of loss or damage and shall state, to the extent
possible, the basis of calculating the amount of the loss or damage.  If
the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the insured claimant to provide the
required proof of loss or damage, the Company’s obligations to the insured
under the policy shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to
defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or
matters requiring such proof of loss or damage.

 

In addition, the insured
claimant may reasonably be required to submit to examination under oath by any
authorized representative of the Company and shall produce for examination,
inspection and copying, at such reasonable times and places as may be designated
by any authorized representative of the Company, all records, books, ledgers,
checks, correspondence and memoranda, whether bearing a date before or after
Date of Policy, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage.  Further,
if requested by any authorized representative of the Company, the insured
claimant shall grant its permission, in writing, for any authorized
representative of the Company to examine, inspect and copy all records, books,
ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda in the custody or control of a
third party, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage.  All information designated as confidential by
the insured claimant provided to the Company pursuant to this
Section shall not be disclosed to others unless, in the reasonable
judgment of the Company, it is necessary in the administration of the
claim.  Failure of the insured claimant
to submit for examination under oath, produce other reasonably requested
information or grant permission to secure reasonably necessary information from
third parties as required in this paragraph, unless prohibited by law or
governmental regulation, shall terminate any liability of the Company under
this policy as to that claim.

 

6.              OPTIONS TO PAY OR OTHERWISE
SETTLE CLAIMS; TERMINATION OF LIABILITY

 

In case of a claim under
this policy, the Company shall have the following additional options:

 

(a) To Pay or Tender
Payment of the Amount of Insurance or to Purchase the Indebtedness.

 

(i) to pay or tender
payment of the amount of insurance under this policy together with any costs,
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the insured claimant, which were
authorized by the Company, up to the time of payment or tender of payment and
which the Company is obligated to pay; or

 

(ii) to purchase the indebtedness
secured by the insured mortgage for the amount owing thereon together with any
costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the insured claimant which were
authorized by the Company up to the time of purchase and which the Company is
obligated to pay.

 

If the Company offers to
purchase the indebtedness as herein provided, the owner of the indebtedness
shall transfer, assign, and convey the indebtedness and the insured mortgage,
together with any collateral security, to the Company upon payment therefor.

 

Upon the exercise by the
Company of either of the options provided for in paragraphs a(i) or (ii),
all liability and obligations to the insured under this policy, other than to
make the payment required in those paragraphs, shall terminate, including any
liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation.

 

(b)   To Pay or Otherwise Settle With Parties Other
than the Insured or With the Insured Claimant.

 

(i) to pay or otherwise
settle with other parties for or in the name of an insured claimant any claim
insured against under this policy, together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the insured claimant which were authorized by the Company
up to the time of payment and which the Company is obligated to pay; or

 

(ii) to pay or otherwise
settle with the insured claimant the loss or damage provided for under this
policy, together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
insured claimant which were authorized by the Company up to the time of payment
and which the Company is obligated to pay.

 

Upon the exercise by the
Company of either of the options provided for in paragraphs (b)(i) or
(ii), the Company’s obligations to the insured under this policy for the
claimed loss or damage, other than the payments required to be made, shall
terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute or
continue any litigation.

 

7.     DETERMINATION AND EXTENT OF LIABILITY

 

This policy is a contract
of indemnity against actual monetary loss or damage sustained or incurred by
the insured claimant who has suffered loss or damage by reason of matters
insured against by this policy and only to the extent herein described.

 

(a) The liability of the
Company under this policy shall not exceed the least of:

 

(i) the Amount of
Insurance stated in Schedule A, or, if applicable, the amount of insurance
as defined in Section 2 (c) of these Conditions and Stipulations;

 

(ii) the amount of the
unpaid principal indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage as limited or
provided under Section 8 of these Conditions and Stipulations or as
reduced under Section 9 of these Conditions and Stipulations, at the time
the loss or damage insured against by this policy occurs, together with
interest thereon; or

The Company
insures the insured against loss or damage sustained by reason of:

 

1.               The
failure of the unit identified in Schedule A and its common elements to be
part of a condominium within the meaning of the condominium statutes of the
State of New York.

 

2.               The
failure of the documents required by the condominium statutes to comply with
the requirements of the statutes to the extent that such failure affects the
title to the unit and its common elements.

 

3.               Present
violations of any restrictive covenants which restrict the use of the unit and
its common elements and which are created by the condominium documents, except
violations relating to environmental protection unless a notice of a violation
thereof has been recorded or filed in the public record and is not excepted Schedule B.  The restrictive covenants do not contain any
provisions which will cause a forfeiture or reversion of title.

 

4.               The
priority of any lien for charges and assessments at Date of Policy provided for
in the condominium statutes and condominium documents over the lien of any
insured first mortgage identified in Schedule A.

 

5.               The
failure of the unit and its common elements to be entitled by law to be
assessed for real property taxes as a separate parcel.

 

6.               Any
obligation to remove any improvements which exist at Date of Policy because of
any present encroachments or because of any future unintentional encroachments
of the common elements upon any unit or of any unit upon the common elements or
another unit.

 

7.               The
failure of title by reason of a right of first refusal to purchase the unit and
its common elements which was exercised or could have been exercised at Date of
Policy.

ALTA Loan Policy (10-17-92)

 

 

(c)   Amount of Insurance. 
The amount of insurance after the acquisition or after the conveyance
shall in neither event exceed the least of:

 

(i)    the Amount
of Insurance stated in Schedule A.

 

(ii)   the amount
of the principal of the indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage as of Date
of Policy, interest thereon, expenses of foreclosure, amounts advanced pursuant
to the insured mortgage to assure compliance with laws or to protect the lien
of the insured mortgage prior to the time of acquisition of the estate or
interest in the land and secured thereby and reasonable amounts expended to
prevent deterioration of improvements, but reduced by the amount of all
payments made; or

 

(iii)  the amount
paid by any governmental agency or governmental instrumentality, if the agency
or instrumentality is the insured claimant, in the acquisition of the estate or
interest in satisfaction of its insurance contract or guaranty.

 

3.     NOTICE OF CLAIM TO BE GIVEN BY INSURED
CLAIMANT

 

The insured shall notify
the Company promptly in writing (i) in case of any litigation as set forth
in Section 4(a) below, (ii) in case knowledge shall come to an
insured hereunder of any claim of title or interest which is adverse to the
title to the estate or interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as
insured, and which might cause loss or damage for which the Company may be
liable by virtue of this policy, or (iii) if title to the estate or
interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as insured, is rejected as
unmarketable.  If prompt notice shall not be given to the Company, then as
to the insured all liability of the Company shall terminate with regard to the
matter or matters for which prompt notice is required; provided, however, that
failure to notify the Company shall in no case prejudice the rights of any
insured under this policy unless the Company shall be prejudiced by the failure
and then only to the extent of the prejudice.

 

4.              DEFENSE AND PROSECUTION OF
ACTIONS; DUTY OF INSURED CLAIMANT TO COOPERATE

 

(a)   Upon written request by the insured and
subject to the options contained in Section 6 of these Conditions and
Stipulations, the Company, at its own cost and without unreasonable delay,
shall provide for the defense of an insured in litigation in which any third
party asserts a claim adverse to the title or interest as insured, but only as
to those stated causes of action alleging a defect, lien or encumbrance or
other matter insured against by this policy.  The Company shall have the
right to select counsel of its choice (subject to the right of the insured to
object for reasonable cause) to represent the insured as to those stated causes
of action and shall not be liable for and will not pay the fees of any other
counsel.  The Company will not pay any fees, costs or expenses incurred by
the insured in the defense of those causes of action which allege matters not
insured against by this policy.

 

(b)   The Company shall have the right, at its own
cost, to institute and prosecute any action or proceeding or to do any other
act which in its opinion may be necessary or desirable to establish the title
to the estate or interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as insured, or
to prevent or reduce loss or damage to the insured.  The Company may take any appropriate action
under the terms of this policy, whether or not it shall be liable hereunder,
and shall not thereby concede liability or waive any provision of this
policy.  If the Company shall exercise
its rights under this paragraph, it shall do so diligently.

 

(c)   Whenever the Company shall have brought an
action or interposed a defense as required or permitted by the provisions of
this policy, the Company may pursue any litigation to final determination by a
court of competent jurisdiction and expressly reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to appeal from any adverse judgment or order.

 

(d)   In all cases where this policy permits or
requires the Company to prosecute or provide for the defense of any action or
proceeding, the insured shall secure to the Company the right to so prosecute
or provide defense in the action or proceeding, and all appeals therein, and
permit the Company to use, at its option, the name of the insured for this
purpose.  Whenever requested by the Company, the insured, at the Company’s
expense, shall give the Company all reasonable aid (i) in any action or
proceeding, securing evidence, obtaining witnesses, prosecuting or defending
the action or proceeding, or effecting settlement, and (ii) in any other
lawful act which in the opinion of the Company may be necessary or desirable to
establish the title to the estate or interest or the lien of the insured
mortgage, as insured.  If the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the
insured to furnish the required cooperation, the Company’s obligations to the
insured under the policy shall terminate, including any liability or obligation
to defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or
matters requiring such cooperation.

 

5.     PROOF OF LOSS OR DAMAGE

 

In addition to and after
the notices required under Section 3 of these Conditions and Stipulations
have been provided the Company, a proof of loss or damage signed and sworn to
by the insured claimant shall be furnished to the Company within 90 days after
the insured claimant shall ascertain the facts giving rise to the loss or
damage.  The proof of loss or damage shall describe the defect in, or lien
or encumbrance on the title, or other matter insured against by this policy
which constitutes the basis of loss or damage and shall state, to the extent
possible, the basis of calculating the amount of the loss or damage.  If
the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the insured claimant to provide the
required proof of loss or damage, the Company’s obligations to the insured
under the policy shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to
defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or
matters requiring such proof of loss or damage.

 

In addition, the insured
claimant may reasonably be required to submit to examination under oath by any
authorized representative of the Company and shall produce for examination,
inspection and copying, at such reasonable times and places as may be
designated by any authorized representative of the Company, all records, books,
ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda, whether bearing a date before or
after Date of Policy, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage. 
Further, if requested by any authorized representative of the Company, the
insured claimant shall grant its permission, in writing, for any authorized
representative of the Company to examine, inspect and copy all records, books,
ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda in the custody or control of a
third party, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage.  All information designated as confidential by
the insured claimant provided to the Company pursuant to this Section shall
not be disclosed to others unless, in the reasonable judgment of the Company,
it is necessary in the administration of the claim.  Failure of the insured claimant to submit for
examination under oath, produce other reasonably requested information or grant
permission to secure reasonably necessary information from third parties as
required in this paragraph, unless prohibited by law or governmental
regulation, shall terminate any liability of the Company under this policy as
to that claim.

 

6.              OPTIONS
TO PAY OR OTHERWISE SETTLE CLAIMS; TERMINATION OF LIABILITY

 

In case of a claim under
this policy, the Company shall have the following additional options:

 

(a)   To Pay or Tender Payment of the Amount of
Insurance or to Purchase the Indebtedness.

 

(i) to pay or tender
payment of the amount of insurance under this policy together with any costs,
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the insured claimant, which were
authorized by the Company, up to the time of payment or tender of payment and
which the Company is obligated to pay; or

 

(ii) to purchase the
indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage for the amount owing thereon
together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the insured
claimant which were authorized by the Company up to the time of purchase and
which the Company is obligated to pay.

 

If the Company offers to
purchase the indebtedness as herein provided, the owner of the indebtedness
shall transfer, assign, and convey the indebtedness and the insured mortgage,
together with any collateral security, to the Company upon payment therefor.

 

Upon the exercise by the
Company of either of the options provided for in paragraphs a(i) or (ii),
all liability and obligations to the insured under this policy, other than to
make the payment required in those paragraphs, shall terminate, including any
liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation, and
the policy shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

 

(b)   To Pay or Otherwise Settle With Parties Other
than the Insured or With the Insured Claimant.

 

(i) to pay or otherwise
settle with other parties for or in the name of an insured claimant any claim
insured against under this policy, together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the insured claimant which were authorized by the Company
up to the time of payment and which the Company is obligated to pay; or

 

(ii) to pay or otherwise
settle with the insured claimant the loss or damage provided for under this policy,
together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the insured
claimant which were authorized by the Company up to the time of payment and
which the Company is obligated to pay.

 

Upon the exercise by the
Company of either of the options provided for in paragraphs b(i) or (ii),
the Company’s obligations to the insured under this policy for the claimed loss
or damage, other than the payments required to be made, shall terminate,
including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute or continue any
litigation.

 

7.     DETERMINATION AND EXTENT OF LIABILITY

 

This policy is a contract
of indemnity against actual monetary loss or damage sustained or incurred by
the insured claimant who has suffered loss or damage by reason of matters
insured against by this policy and only to the extent herein described.

 

(a)   The liability of the Company under this
policy shall not exceed the least of:

(ii) the amount of the
unpaid principal indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage as limited or
provided under Section 8 of these Conditions and Stipulations or as
reduced under Section 9 of these Conditions and Stipulations, at the time

Attached to and made a part of Policy Number 33 0105 106 00003553

 

The Company insures the owner of the indebtedness secured by the insured
mortgage against loss or damage sustained by reason of:

 

1.                                       Any incorrectness in the assurance that, at
Date of Policy:

 

(a)                                  There are no covenants, conditions or
restrictions under which the lien of the mortgage referred to in Schedule A
can be divested, subordinated or extinguished, or its validity, priority or
enforceability impaired.

 

(b)                                 Unless expressly excepted in Schedule B:

 

(1) There are no present violations on
the land of any enforceable covenants, conditions or restrictions, nor do any
existing improvements on the land violate any building setback lines shown on a
plat of subdivision recorded or filed in the public records.

 

(2) Any instrument referred to in Schedule B
as containing covenants, conditions or restrictions on the land does not, in addition,
(i) establish an easement on the land; (ii) provide a lien for
liquidated damages; (iii) provide for a private charge or assessment; (iv) provide
for an option to purchase, right of first refusal or the prior approval of a
future purchaser or occupant.

 

(3) There is no encroachment of existing improvements located on
the land onto adjoining land, nor any encroachment onto the land of existing
improvements located on adjoining land.

 

(4) There is no encroachment of existing
improvements located on the land onto that portion of the land subject to any easement
excepted in Schedule B.

 

(5) There are no notices of violation of
covenants, conditions and restrictions relating to environmental protection
recorded or filed in the public records.

 

2.                                       Any future violation on the land of any
existing covenants, conditions or restrictions occurring prior to the
acquisition of title to the estate or interest in the land by the insured,
provided the violation results in:

 

(a)                                  invalidity, loss of priority, or
unenforceability of the lien of the insured mortgage; or

 

(b)                                 loss of title to the estate or interest in
the land if the insured shall acquire title in satisfaction of the indebtedness
secured by the insured mortgage.

 

3.                                       Damage to existing improvements, including
lawns, shrubbery or trees:

 

(a)                                  which are located on or encroach upon that
portion of the land subject to any easement excepted in Schedule B, which damage
results from the exercise of the right to maintain the easement for the purpose
for which it was granted or reserved;

 

(b)                                 resulting from the future exercise of any
right to use the surface of the land for the extraction or development of
minerals excepted from the description of the land or excepted in Schedule B.

 

4.                                       Any final court order or judgment requiring
the removal from any land adjoining the land of any encroachment excepted in
Schedule B.

 

5.                                       Any final court order or judgment denying the
right to maintain any existing improvements on the land because of any
violation of covenants, conditions or restrictions or building setback lines
shown on a plat of subdivision recorded or filed in the public records.

 

Wherever in this endorsement the words “covenants, conditions or
restrictions” appear, they shall not be deemed to refer to or include the terms,
covenants, conditions or limitations contained in an instrument creating a

ALTA Loan Policy (10-17-92)

 

 

(c)   Amount of Insurance. 
The amount of insurance after the acquisition or after the conveyance
shall in neither event exceed the least of:

 

(i)    the Amount of
Insurance stated in Schedule A.

 

(ii)   the amount
of the principal of the indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage as of Date
of Policy, interest thereon, expenses of foreclosure, amounts advanced pursuant
to the insured mortgage to assure compliance with laws or to protect the lien
of the insured mortgage prior to the time of acquisition of the estate or
interest in the land and secured thereby and reasonable amounts expended to
prevent deterioration of improvements, but reduced by the amount of all
payments made; or

 

(iii)  the amount
paid by any governmental agency or governmental instrumentality, if the agency
or instrumentality is the insured claimant, in the acquisition of the estate or
interest in satisfaction of its insurance contract or guaranty

 

3.     NOTICE
OF CLAIM TO BE GIVEN BY INSURED CLAIMANT

 

The insured shall notify
the Company promptly in writing (i) in case of any litigation as set forth
in Section 4(a) below, (ii) in case knowledge shall come to an
insured hereunder of any claim of title or interest which is adverse to the
title to the estate or interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as
insured, and which might cause loss or damage for which the Company may be
liable by virtue of this policy, or (iii) if title to the estate or
interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as insured, is rejected as
unmarketable.  If prompt notice shall not be given to the Company, then as
to the insured all liability of the Company shall terminate with regard to the
matter or matters for which prompt notice is required; provided, however, that
failure to notify the Company shall in no case prejudice the rights of any
insured under this policy unless the Company shall be prejudiced by the failure
and then only to the extent of the prejudice.

 

4.              DEFENSE
AND PROSECUTION OF ACTIONS: DUTY OF INSURED CLAIMANT TO COOPERATE

 

(a)   Upon
written request by the insured and subject to the options contained in
Section 6 of these Conditions and Stipulations, the Company, at its own
cost and without unreasonable delay, shall provide for the defense of an
insured in litigation in which any third party asserts a claim adverse to the
title or interest as insured, but only as to those stated causes of action
alleging a defect, lien or encumbrance or other matter insured against by this
policy.  The Company shall have the right to select counsel of its choice
(subject to the right of the insured to object for reasonable cause) to
represent the insured as to those stated causes of action and shall not be
liable for and will not pay the fees of any other counsel.  The Company
will not pay any fees, costs or expenses incurred by the insured in the defense
of those causes of action which allege matters not insured against by this
policy.

 

(b)   The
Company shall have the right, at its own cost, to institute and prosecute any
action or proceeding or to do any other act which in its opinion may be
necessary or desirable to establish the title to the estate or interest or the
lien of the insured mortgage, as insured, or to prevent or reduce loss or
damage to the insured.  The Company may
take any appropriate action under the terms of this policy, whether or not it
shall be liable hereunder, and shall not thereby concede liability or waive any
provision of this policy.  If the Company
shall exercise its rights under this paragraph, it shall do so diligently.

 

(c)   Whenever
the Company shall have brought an action or interposed a defense as required or
permitted by the provisions of this policy, the Company may pursue any
litigation to final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction and
expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to appeal from any adverse
judgment or order.

 

(d)   In
all cases where this policy permits or requires the Company to prosecute or
provide for the defense of any action or proceeding, the insured shall secure
to the Company the right to so prosecute or provide defense in the action or
proceeding, and all appeals therein, and permit the Company to use, at its
option, the name of the insured for this purpose.  Whenever requested by
the Company, the insured, at the Company’s expense, shall give the Company all
reasonable aid (i) in any action or proceeding, securing evidence,
obtaining witnesses, prosecuting or defending the action or proceeding, or
effecting settlement, and (ii) in any other lawful act which in the
opinion of the Company may be necessary or desirable to establish the title to
the estate or interest or the lien of the insured mortgage, as insured. 
If the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the insured to furnish the
required cooperation, the Company’s obligations to the insured under the policy
shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or
continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or matters requiring such
cooperation.

 

5.     PROOF
OF LOSS OR DAMAGE

 

In addition to and after
the notices required under Section 3 of these Conditions and Stipulations
have been provided the Company, a proof of loss or damage signed and sworn to
by the insured claimant shall be furnished to the Company within 90 days after
the insured claimant shall ascertain the facts giving rise to the loss or damage. 
The proof of loss or damage shall describe the defect in, or lien or
encumbrance on the title, or other matter insured against by this policy which
constitutes the basis of loss or damage and shall state, to the extent
possible, the basis of calculating the amount of the loss or damage.  If
the Company is prejudiced by the failure of the insured claimant to provide the
required proof of loss or damage, the Company’s obligations to the insured
under the policy shall terminate, including any liability or obligation to
defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation, with regard to the matter or
matters requiring such proof of loss or damage.

 

In addition, the insured
claimant may reasonably be required to submit to examination under oath by any
authorized representative of the Company and shall produce for examination,
inspection and copying, at such reasonable times and places as may be
designated by any authorized representative of the Company, all records, books,
ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda, whether bearing a date before or
after Date of Policy, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage. 
Further, if requested by any authorized representative of the Company, the
insured claimant shall grant its permission, in writing, for any authorized
representative of the Company to examine, inspect and copy all records, books,
ledgers, checks, correspondence and memoranda in the custody or control of a
third party, which reasonably pertain to the loss or damage.  All information designated as confidential by
the insured claimant provided to the Company pursuant to this
Section shall not be disclosed to others unless, in the reasonable
judgment of the Company, it is necessary in the administration of the
claim.  Failure of the insured claimant
to submit for examination under oath, produce other reasonably requested
information or grant permission to secure reasonably necessary information from
third parties as required in this paragraph, unless prohibited by law or
governmental regulation, shall terminate any liability of the Company under
this policy as to that claim.

 

6.              OPTIONS
TO PAY OR OTHERWISE SETTLE CLAIMS; TERMINATION OF LIABILITY

 

In case of a claim under
this policy, the Company shall have the following additional options:

Indebtedness.

payment of the amount of insurance under this policy together with any costs,

(ii) to purchase the
indebtedness secured by the insured mortgage for the amount owing thereon
together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the insured
claimant which were authorized by the Company up to the time of purchase and
which the Company is obligated to pay.

 

If the Company offers to
purchase the indebtedness as herein provided, the owner of the indebtedness
shall transfer, assign, and convey the indebtedness and the insured mortgage,
together with any collateral security, to the Company upon payment therefor.

 

Upon the exercise by the
Company of either of the options provided for in paragraphs a(i) or (ii),
all liability and obligations to the insured under this policy, other than to
make the payment required in those paragraphs, shall terminate, including any
liability or obligation to defend, prosecute, or continue any litigation and
the policy shall be surrendered to the Company for cancellation.

 

(b)   To
Pay or Otherwise Settle With Parties Other than the Insured or With the Insured
Claimant.

 

(i) to pay or otherwise
settle with other parties for or in the name of an insured claimant any claim
insured against under this policy, together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the insured claimant which were authorized by the Company
up to the time of payment and which the Company is obligated to pay; or

 

(ii) to pay or otherwise
settle with the insured claimant the loss or damage provided for under this
policy, together with any costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
insured claimant which were authorized by the Company up to the time of payment
and which the Company is obligated to pay.

 

Upon the exercise by the
Company of either of the options provided for in paragraphs (b)(i) or
(ii), the Company’s obligations to the insured under this policy for the
claimed loss or damage, other than the payments required to be made, shall
terminate, including any liability or obligation to defend, prosecute or
continue any litigation.

(LOAN POLICY)

 

Attached to and made a part of Policy Number 33 0105
107 00003551

 

The Conditions and
Stipulations of said policy are
hereby amended in the following particulars:

 

Section 1 of said
Conditions and Stipulations is hereby amended by adding subparagraph
(h) thereto to read as follows:

 

(h)           “leasehold estate”: the right of possession
for the term or terms described in Schedule A hereof subject to any
provisions contained in the Lease which
limit the right of possession.

 

Sections 13, 14, 15 and 16 of said Conditions and
Stipulations are hereby renumbered 15, 16, 17 and 18 respectively and the
following new Sections 13 and 14 are inserted into said Conditions and
Stipulations:

 

13.   VALUATION OF ESTATE OR INTEREST INSURED

If,
in computing loss or damage incurred by the insured, it becomes necessary to
determine the value of the estate or interest insured by this policy, the value
shall consist of the then present worth of the excess, if any, of the fair
market rental value of the estate or interest, undiminished by any matters for
which claim is made, for that part of the term stated in Schedule A then
remaining plus any renewal or extended term for which a valid option to renew
or extend is contained in the Lease, over
the value of the rent and other consideration required to be paid under the
Lease for the same period.

 

14.   MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS OF LOSS

In
the event the insured acquires all or any part of the estate or interest in the
land described in the applicable Schedule in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2(a) of these Conditions and stipulations and
thereafter is evicted from possession of all or a part of the land by reason of
any matters insured against by this policy, the following, if applicable, shall
be included in computing loss or damage incurred by the insured, but not to the
extent that the same are included in the valuation of the estate or interest
insured by this policy.

 

(a)           The reasonable cost of removing and
relocating any personal property which the insured has the right to remove and
relocate, situated on the land at the time of eviction, the cost of
transportation of that personal property, for the initial twenty-five miles
incurred in connection with the relocation, and the reasonable cost of
repairing the personal property damaged by reason of the removal and relocation.  The costs referred to above shall not exceed
in the aggregate the value of the personal property prior to its removal and
relocation.  “Personal property”, above
referred to, shall mean chattels and property which because of its character
and manner of affixation to the land, can be severed therefrom without causing
appreciable damage to the property severed or to the land to which the property
is affixed.

 

(b)           Rent or damages for use and occupancy of the
land prior to the eviction which the insured as owner of the leasehold estate
may be obligated to pay to any person having paramount title to that of the
lessor in the Lease.

 

(c)           The amount of rent which, by the terms of the
Lease, the insured must continue to pay to the lessor after eviction, for the
land or part thereof from which the insured has been evicted.

 

(d)           The fair market value, at the time of the
eviction, of the estate or interest of the insured in any sublease of all or
part of the land existing at the date of the eviction.

 

(e)           Damages which the insured may be obligated to
pay to any sublessee on account of the breach of any sublease of all or part of
the land caused by the eviction.

 

This endorsement is made a
part of the policy and is subject to all of the terms and provisions thereof and
of any prior endorsements thereto. Except to the extent expressly stated, it
neither modifies any of the terms and provisions of the policy and any prior
endorsements, nor does it extend the effective date of the policy and any prior
endorsements, nor does it increase the amount of insurance.

1.       The
failure of the unit identified in Schedule A and its common elements to be
part of a condominium within the meaning of the condominium statutes of the
State of New York.

 

2.       The
failure of the documents required by the condominium statutes to comply with

violations of any restrictive covenants which restrict the use of the unit and
its common elements and which are created by the condominium documents, except
violations relating to environmental protection unless a notice of a violation
thereof has been recorded or filed in the public record and is not excepted
Schedule B.  The restrictive
covenants do not contain any provisions which will cause a forfeiture or
reversion of title.

 

4.       The
priority of any lien for charges and assessments at Date of Policy provided for
in the condominium statutes and condominium documents over the lien of any
insured first mortgage identified in Schedule A.

 

5.       The
failure of the unit and its common elements to be entitled by law to be
assessed for real property taxes as a separate parcel.

 

6.       Any
obligation to remove any improvements which exist at Date of Policy because of
any present encroachments or because of any future unintentional encroachments
of the common elements upon any unit or of any unit upon the common elements or
another unit.

 

7.       The
failure of title by reason of a right of first refusal to purchase the unit and
its common elements which was exercised or could have been exercised at Date of
Policy.

 

This endorsement is made a part of the policy and is
subject to all the terms and provisions thereof and of any prior endorsements
thereto.  Except to the extent expressly
stated, it neither modifies any of the terms and provisions of the policy and
