in the Company; or the projected assessed taxes on the value of the Project at
the time of Placement In Service.  Net Operating Income shall be

    (xxvii)     The
Managing Member shall be responsible for the representations, warranties and
covenants assigned to it hereunder, and shall not assert as a defense in any
action by the Company or the Investor Member  the fact that the
Managing Member may have relied on other parties in connection with matters
addressed therein; provided,
however that this obligation to the Investor Member and the Company shall
not prevent the Managing Member from asserting such reliance in any action
brought by the Managing Member against such parties on which the Managing Member
has relied.

     

     (b)             
As of the date hereof, the Investor Member hereby represents, warrants and
covenants to the Company and to the other Members as follows:

     

    (i)           
The Investor Member (a) is a limited liability company, validly existing under
the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) has full power and authority to enter
into and deliver this Agreement and all instruments pertaining hereto and to
perform all acts related thereto.  This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation
of the Investor Member, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, and other laws affecting creditors’ rights
and remedies generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles
of equity, including principles of commercial reasonableness, good faith and
fair dealing (regardless of whether a proceeding is sought in equity or at
law).  The obligation of all transactions contemplated herein and in
the Project Documents to be performed by the Investor Member or its Affiliates
do not and will not result in any material breach or violation of, or default
under, any governing instrument of the Investor Member or its Affiliates or any
agreements by which the Investor Member or its Affiliates or any of its property
is bound, or under any applicable law, administrative regulation, or court
decree  (nor has there occurred any continuing event which, with the
giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute such a default
in any material respect).

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          20

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    (ii)           No
event of Bankruptcy has occurred with respect to the Investor Member or any of
its Affiliates.

     

    (iii)          The
Investor Member is purchasing its Interest for investment for the Investor
Member’s own account only and not with a view to, or for resale in connection
with, any “distribution” thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

     

    (iv)         
The Investor Member understands that the Interests have not been registered
under the Securities Act in reliance on an exemption from
registration.  The Investor Member understands that the Interest must
be held indefinitely unless the Interests subsequently are registered under the
Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise
available.  The Investor Member understands that the Company is not
obligated to register the Interest.  The Investor Member agrees that
the Interest may not be offered, sold, transferred, pledged, or otherwise
disposed of in the absence of an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an opinion of counsel
acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required.

     

    (v)           Neither
the Investor Member nor any of its Affiliates have taken any action that would
cause the Company to be obligated, under any state law, rule, or regulation of
Missouri, California, Hawaii or Delaware to register the Interest.

     

    (vi)          The
Investor Member shall be responsible for the representations, warranties and
covenants assigned to it hereunder, and shall not assert as a defense in any
action by the Company or the Managing Member  the fact that the
Investor Member may have relied on other parties in connection with matters
addressed therein; provided, however that this obligation to the Managing Member
and the Company shall not prevent the Investor Member from asserting such
reliance in any action brought by the Investor Member against such parties on
which the Investor Member has relied.

     

    (vii)         No
litigation, action, investigation, event, or proceeding is pending or, to the
best of its knowledge is threatened, that, if adversely resolved, would: (a)
have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Investor Member to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or  (b) constitute
or result in a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or
agreement of the Investor Member set forth in this Agreement.

(d)       Except as provided in Section 9.02
hereof, without the Consent of all of the Members, no additional Person may be
admitted as an additional Investor Member and a Capital Contribution may be
accepted only as and to the extent expressly provided for in this Article
V.

     

     
(e)       (i)          If,
as a result of a reduction or increase in costs incurred to complete the
Project, or for any other reason other than (A) a Recapture Event, or (B)
an event which would be a Recapture Event but for the fact it resulted from a
sale or disposition  of the Company Interest 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
Credits are more or less than the Projected Credits (such determination being
referred to herein as the “Credit Determination”), the provisions of Sections
5.01(e)(ii) and (e)(iii) shall apply.

     

      (ii)         After
the Credit Determination is made, the Accountants shall prepare a revised set of
financial projections and determine whether the Benefits can be achieved as set
forth in the Projections.  In the event that the Accountants determine
that the Third Installment should be increased such that the Benefits are
achieved as set forth in the Projections, then the Investor Member shall make,
together with the Third Installment, an additional installment of Capital
Contribution as determined by the Accountants (the “Credit
Adjustment”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, positive Credit
Adjustments shall not in the aggregate exceed 15% of the Investor Member’s
Capital Contribution (prior to any Credit Adjustment provided for in this
Section 5.01(e)(ii)).  Further, in no event shall the Credit
Adjustment be an amount such that the Benefits are not achievable within six (6)
years from the Completion Date.

     

      (iii)        After
the Credit Determination is made, the Accountants shall prepare a revised set of
financial projections and determine whether the Benefits can be achieved as set
forth in the Projections.  In the event that the Accountants determine
that the Third Installment should be decreased such that the Benefits are
achieved as set forth in the Projections, then the Investor Member shall make a
downward adjustment to Third Installment, as determined by the
Accountants.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          27

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

    

     (iv)         If
a Recapture Event occurs prior to the time the Investor Member has paid in its
Capital Contribution, the amount of the next succeeding Installment (and any
Installment(s) thereafter if necessary) of the Investor Member  shall
be reduced by an amount (herein referred to as a “Recapture Adjustment Amount”)
equal to any increase in taxes payable by the Investor Member as of that date
solely as a result of such Recapture Event, measured by the Applicable Tax Rate,
but shall be limited to the amount necessary to produce a Target IRR to the
Investor Member.  Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the Recapture
Adjustment Amount shall also include any interest and/or penalties due to the
Internal Revenue Service from the Investor Member, reasonable attorney fees
and/or reasonable professional costs associated with the Audit, as provided in
Section 5.01(e)(v).  If no further Installment remains, or if the
Recapture Adjustment Amount is greater than the aggregate amount of the
remaining Installment(s), then the Managing Member shall contribute to the
Company, for immediate distribution to the Investor Member, an amount equal to
the difference between such remaining Installment(s), if any, and the Recapture
Adjustment Amount, which amount shall then be immediately distributed to the
Investor Member as a return of capital and Investor Member shall be relieved of
making any additional Installments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the effect of such a contribution of capital would be to cause Company Profits
or Losses or Tax Credits arising during the Recapture Period to be allocated
among the Members other than in accordance with their Percentage Interests as
set forth in Section 5.01, then the portion of the Recapture Adjustment Amount
that was to be contributed to the Company as aforesaid (recalculated on an
After-Tax Basis) shall be paid directly by the Managing Member to the Investor
Member promptly after demand is made therefor.  Any amounts not paid
upon demand shall bear interest at the rate of 2% over the Designated Prime Rate
in effect at the end of the preceding calendar month, until paid in
full.  The Managing Member’s obligations under this Section shall
expire upon the last day of the third year following the year in which the
recapture period for the Tax Credits pursuant to Section 48 of the Code shall
have ended.

     

     (v)       
 The Investor Member covenants and agrees that it will promptly give
written notice to the Managing Member of the occurrence of any audit by the IRS
of the Investor Member (which notice must include copies of all correspondence,
reports, and materials relevant to the controversy) if the adverse resolution of
such audit (or portion thereof) could result in a Recapture Event which could
lead to any payment by the Managing Member  (such audits or relevant
portions thereof being hereinafter referred to as an “Audit”).   The
Managing Member may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any Audit
and, throughout the Audit, will cooperate fully, comply with all requests and
provide all information, documentation and other similar items to the Investor
Member within ten (10) business days of the Investor Member’s
request.  Throughout the Audit, the Investor Member will provide all
relevant information to the Managing Member (excluding confidential proprietary
tax information or corporate records) and will consult in good faith with the
Managing Member about defenses, settlement options, and all other matters
involving the Audit.   The Investor Member shall not settle or
compromise any tax obligation which could lead to the requirement of an
additional capital contribution under Section (iv) above without the written
consent of the Managing Member, which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld.  In its sole and absolute discretion and with written notice
to the Managing Member, the Investor Member may tender the defense of any Audit
to the Managing Member, and upon tender will appoint the Managing Member as its
agent under a power of attorney to defend the Audit.  If the Investor
Member tenders its defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, the
Managing Member will consult in good faith with the Investor Member as to
settlement or compromise of any tax obligation but the Managing Member will have
the full authority to defend, settle or compromise such claims. If the Investor
Member tenders its defense in accordance with this Section, and the results of
such Audit are favorable to the Investor Member, the Investor Member shall be
solely responsible for the costs associated therewith; provided however, if the
results of such Audit are not favorable to the Investor Member, then the
Managing Member shall be solely responsible for all costs associated
therewith.

      5.02           
 Return of Capital
Contribution.

    

     

    Except as
provided in this Agreement, no Member shall be entitled to demand or receive the
return of any portion of its Capital Contribution.

     

    
      5.03             Withholding of Capital
Contribution Upon Default.

    

     

    In the
event that:  (i) the Managing Member has not substantially complied
with any material provisions of this Agreement, or (ii) foreclosure proceedings
have been commenced against any of the Buildings or portions of the Project,
then the Company and the Managing Member shall be in default of this Agreement,
and the Investor Member, at its sole election, may withhold payment of any
Installment otherwise payable to the Company; provided, however, that if a
payment of all or any portion of the then due Installment will cure the event
justifying the withholding, then the Investor Member shall pay such Installment
otherwise payable if it is applied to cure such event.  At the sole
election of the Investor Member, it may directly apply all or any part of any
unpaid Installment to cure the event justifying the withholding, including but
not limited to the failure of the Managing Member to make payments required
under Sections 5.01(e), 5.05, 8.09 and/or 11.01(a).

     

    Unless
applied as set forth above, all amounts so withheld by the Investor Member under
this Section 5.03 shall be promptly released to the Company only after the
Managing Member or the Company has cured the default justifying the withholding,
as demonstrated by evidence reasonably acceptable to the Investor
Member.

     

    
      5.04             Legal
Opinions.

    

     

    As a
condition precedent to payment of the First Installment, the Investor Member
shall have received such legal opinions of Stoel Rives LLP, special counsel to
the Company and the Managing Member, and the General Counsel of Managing Member
in form and substance as attached hereto as Schedule C.

     

    
      5.05             Repurchase
Obligation.

    

     

      (a)        If
(i) the Project has not achieved Placement In Service by April 15, 2009, unless
extended pursuant to Section 8.02(b)(xxi); (ii) an event of default described in
Section 5.03 occurs prior to Placement In Service; (iii) the Project will
qualify for less than seventy percent (70%) of the Projected Credits; or (iv) an
event of Bankruptcy has occurred with respect to the Managing Member prior to
the payment of the Third Installment; then the Managing Member shall, within
fifteen (15) days of the occurrence or notification thereof, as applicable, send
to the Investor Member Notice of such event having occurred and the availability
of an option for the Investor Member to sell its Interest to the Managing Member
at a price equal to 110% of the aggregate Capital Contribution paid to-date
pursuant to Section 5.01(c).  Upon receipt of such Notice, the
Investor Member shall have thirty (30) days during which to notify the Managing
Member whether the Investor Member elects to sell its Interest to the Managing
Member at a price equal to 110% of the aggregate Capital Contribution paid
to-date pursuant to Section 5.01(c), and if the Investor Member does so elect,
the Managing Member shall acquire the Interest of the Investor Member by making
payment to the Investor Member, in cash, of an amount equal to 110% of the
aggregate Capital Contribution paid to-date pursuant to Section 5.01(c) and for
the Investor Member’s reasonable costs, legal or otherwise, associated
therewith.  Any amounts not paid upon demand shall bear interest at
the rate of 2% over the Designated Prime Rate in effect at the end of the
preceding calendar month, until paid in full.

(b)       Upon the purchase of the Interest
of the Investor Member, the Interest of the Investor Member in the Company shall
terminate and all its obligations hereunder.

     

      (c)      
The sole remedy for Investor Member with respect to the events described in
Section 5.05(a)(i) through and including (iv) is the sale of its Interest as
provided in Section 5.05(a) and if the Investor Member elects not to sell its
Interest to the Managing Member as provided in Section 5.05(a) Investor Member
shall have waived any and all claims or rights it might have against the
Company, the Project, the Guarantor, or Managing Member based directly or
indirectly on such events.

     

    
      5.06             Subordinated
Loans.

    

     

      
(a)        The Managing Member shall have the
right, but not the obligation, after funding all other obligations under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to fund Excess
Development Costs or Operating Deficits pursuant to Section 8.09 hereof, to make
“Subordinated Loans” pursuant to this Section 5.06(a) to fund Operating Deficits
of the Company or to fund other reasonable and necessary obligations of the
Company.

     

         
(b)       Any Subordinated Loan shall be evidenced
by a non-negotiable promissory note or notes reflecting any such Subordinated
Loans made during the preceding calendar quarter. Subordinated Loans shall be on
the following terms: (i) interest shall accrue on Subordinated Loans at an
annual interest rate of eight percent (8%), compounded annually; and (ii)
Subordinated Loans shall be repayable solely as set forth in Sections 11.01 and
11.04 of this Agreement.  Subordinated Loans shall be unsecured
loans.  Subordinated Loans shall not be considered a part of a
Member’s Capital Contribution and shall not increase such Member’s Capital
Account.

Managing Member or the withdrawal, or dissolution of a Managing Member, the
business of the Company shall be continued by the other Managing Member(s), if
applicable; provided however, that if the withdrawn, Bankrupt, or dissolved
Managing Member is then the sole Managing Member, then the Company shall be
terminated, unless a majority in Interest of the other Members, within ninety
(90) days after receiving Notice of such Bankruptcy, withdrawal, or dissolution
elect to designate a successor Managing Member(s) and continue the Company upon
the admission of such successor Managing Member(s) to the Company.

     

     
(b)       Upon the Bankruptcy or dissolution
of a Managing Member, such Managing Member shall immediately cease to be a
Managing Member and its Interest shall without further action be converted to an
Investor Member Interest; provided, however, that the
converted Company Interest of such Managing Member shall be ratably reduced to
the extent necessary to insure that the remaining or substitute Managing
Member(s) hold(s) a 0.01% Percentage Interest (as set forth in Section
5.01).  If such Bankrupt or dissolved Managing Member is the sole
remaining Managing Member, such Managing Member shall cease to be a Managing

    Except as
set forth above, such conversion of a Managing Member Interest to an Investor
Member Interest shall not affect any rights, obligations or liabilities
(including without limitation, any of the Managing Member’s obligations under
Section 8.08 herein) of the Bankrupt or dissolved Managing Member existing prior
to the Bankruptcy or dissolution of such Managing Member (whether or not such
rights, obligations or liabilities were known or had matured).

     

     
(c)       If, at the time of the withdrawal,
Bankruptcy or dissolution of a Managing Member, the Bankrupt or dissolved
Managing Member was not the sole Managing Member of the Company, the remaining
Managing Member shall immediately (i) give Notice to the Investor Member of such
Bankruptcy or dissolution, and (ii) make such amendments to this Agreement and
execute and file such amendments or documents or other instruments as are
necessary to reflect the conversion of the Interest of the Bankrupt or dissolved
Managing Member and its having ceased to be a Managing Member.  Such
action or actions by the remaining Managing Member shall, in the event that
permission of a bankruptcy court is necessary, be deemed to have been taken
subject to the provisions of Paragraph 6.03(d) below.  The remaining
Managing Member is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with
an interest, to execute any or all documents on behalf of the Members and the
Company and to file such documents as may be required to effectuate the
provisions of this Section 6.03.

     

     
(d)       The Managing Member, for good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, agrees that in the event the Managing Member should make
application for or seek protection or relief under any of the Sections or
Chapters of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or in the
event that any involuntary petition is filed against the Managing Member, then,
in such event, any other Member shall thereupon be entitled to immediate relief
from any automatic stay imposed by Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or
otherwise, on or against the exercise of the rights and remedies available to
such Member pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise.  The foregoing
shall in no way preclude, restrict or prevent the Managing Member from filing
for protection under the Bankruptcy Code.

(e)        The Members acknowledge and
agree that this Agreement is a contract under which an Investor Member is
excused from accepting performance from the Managing Member, its assignee or
trustee, in the event that the Managing Member makes application for or seeks
protection under any of the Sections or Chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, or in
the event that an involuntary petition is filed against such Managing
Member.  The effect of this Paragraph shall be that this Agreement is
hereby deemed to be subject to the exceptions to assumption and assignment of
contracts set forth in Sections 365(c)(1) and 365(e)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy
Code and that an Investor Member, by its refusal to consent to an assumption or
assignment of this Agreement by the Managing Member after the filing of a
petition in bankruptcy by or against such Managing Member, shall be able to
prevent such assumption or assignment.

     

     
(f)        In the event that the
Managing Member makes application for or seeks relief or protection under any of
the Sections or Chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, or in the event that any
involuntary petition is filed against said Managing Member, then, in such event,
any Member may apply or move to the bankruptcy court in which such petition is
filed for a change of venue to the bankruptcy court where the Company has its
principal place of business, and the Managing Member hereby agrees not to oppose
or object to such application or motion in any way.

it to be within the scope of the authority granted to it by this Agreement and
in the best interest of the Company, except for gross negligence, material
misconduct, fraud or any breach of fiduciary duty as Managing Member with
respect to such acts or omissions.  Any loss or damage incurred by the
Managing Member by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by it in
good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be
within the scope of the authority granted to it by this Agreement and in the
best interests of the Company (but not, in any event, any loss or damage
incurred by any Managing Member by reason of gross negligence, material
misconduct, fraud or any breach of its fiduciary duty as Managing Member with
respect to such acts or omissions) shall be paid from Company assets to the
extent available (but the Investor Member shall not have any personal liability
to the Managing Member under any circumstances on account of any such loss or
damage incurred by the Managing Member or on account of the payment
thereof).

     

    8.08.            Company Taxable as
Partnership.

     

    (a)         The
Managing Member shall take such steps and comply with such other requirements as

    (b)         Upon
request, the Managing Member shall deliver to the Investor Member financial
statements or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Member of
compliance with the requirements with Section 8.08(a).  If the

Contribution of the Managing Member.

     

      
(b)       Any Operating Deficits occurring
prior to the Completion Date shall be considered a Development Cost and shall be
governed by Section 8.09(a).  Thereafter, in the event that an
Operating Deficit exists, the Managing Member shall provide such funds to the
Company as shall be necessary to pay such Operating Deficit(s) in the form of a
contribution, which shall be added to the Capital Contribution of the Managing
Member (“Additional Contributions”) or, at the option of the Managing Member and
if permitted by law, in the form of a loan to the Company (the “Operating
Deficit Loan(s)”).  The Managing Member shall make Additional
Contributions or Operating Deficit Loans in such amounts and at such intervals
so as to allow the Company to cover accrued accounts payable on a 60-day current
basis. Any Operating Deficit Loan shall be treated as if it were a Subordinated
Loan in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.06(b); provided, however, that an
Operating Deficit Loan shall bear no interest, and shall be repaid only if the
Managing Member is not in default with respect to its obligations under this
Agreement.

as Managing Member (provided the same has, or reasonably may have, a material,
adverse impact on the Company, the Investor Member or the Project);

   (ii)      upon the occurrence of any of
the following:

     

      (A)          the
Managing Member shall have violated any provisions of any of the Operating
Documents, or any provisions of any state or federal regulations, or other
requirements applicable to the Project any of which has a material, adverse
impact on the Company, the Investor Member, or the Project;

     

      (B)          the
Managing Member shall have violated any provision of this Agreement or any
provision of applicable law, provided the same has a material, adverse impact on
the Company, the Investor Member;

     

      (C)          the
Managing Member shall have caused the any Loan to go into default;

     

      (D)          the
Managing Member shall have conducted its own affairs or the affairs of the
Company in such manner as would:

     

     
 (1)           cause
the Company to fail to qualify as a limited liability company under the
Act;

     

     
 (2)           cause
the termination of the Company for federal income tax purposes; or

     

     
 (3)           cause
the Company to be treated for federal income tax purposes as an association,
taxable as a corporation; or

     

      (E)          an
event of Bankruptcy shall have occurred with respect to the Company; or there
shall have occurred the liquidation or dissolution of the Managing
Member.

     

     
(b)      the Investor Member shall give Notice to
all Members of its determination that the Managing Member shall be removed as
Managing Member.  The Managing Member shall have forty-five (45) days
after receipt of such Notice to cure any default or other reason for such
removal as Managing Member (if susceptible to cure); provided, however, that if upon
the expiration of said forty-five (45) day period, the Managing Member shall not
have cured such default and, if in the reasonable judgment of the Investor
Member, (x) the Managing Member has made reasonable progress towards cure, and
(y) the default was not capable of being cured within said forty-five (45) day
period, then unless and to the extent the nature of the default is such that
there is a likelihood of material loss, liability or prejudice to the Investor
Member from any such delay in removal, the Managing Member shall have forty-five
(45) additional days in which to cure any such default, in which event it shall
remain as Managing Member.  If the default or other cause for removal
shall not be susceptible to cure or shall not have been cured within any
applicable cure period, the then Managing Member shall cease to be the Managing
Member and the powers and authorities conferred on it as Managing Member under
this Agreement shall cease and the Interest of such Managing Member shall be
converted to that of Non-Managing Member.  The powers exercisable by
the Managing Member under this Agreement, but not the rights
arising from conversion of the Managing Member’s interest percentages as set
forth with respect to the Managing Member’s Residual Percentage Interest after
the Flip Date and the Call Option rights of the Managing Member, may be
transferred to a Person designated by the Investor Member.  Upon the
Company engaging a Person to carryout the duties of and powers exercisable by
the Managing Member, such Person shall become the manager of the Company (the
“Manager”).  Such
Managing Member may be admitted, but need not be admitted, as a Member of the
Company.

      (c)         
(i)        In the event that the
Managing Member is removed as Managing Member as aforesaid prior to Placement In
Service, it shall be and shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities
incurred by it as Managing Member of the Company before such removal as Managing
Member became effective, including but not limited to the obligations and
liabilities of the Managing Member with respect to its obligations set forth in
Section 8.09 of this Agreement with regard to Excess Development Costs;
provided, however, that if amounts otherwise payable to the Managing Member as
fees are applied to meet the Managing Member’s obligations stated in Section
5.03 of this Agreement, such application shall serve to reduce any such
liabilities of the Managing Member or any successor, except for any liability
incurred as the result of its gross negligence, material misconduct, fraud or
breach of fiduciary duty as Managing Member of the Company.

     

    If the
Managing Member is removed as Managing Member prior to Placement In Service as
aforesaid, it shall not be entitled to payment of any further installments of
any fees which otherwise would have been due and payable under various Sections
of this Article VIII.

     

      
  (ii)      In the event that the Managing
Member is removed as Managing Member as aforesaid after the Completion Date, it
shall be and shall remain liable for all obligations and liabilities incurred by
it as Managing Member of the Company before such removal as Managing Member
became effective, including but not limited to the Managing Member’s obligations
and liabilities under Section 8.08(b) of this Agreement; provided however, that
if amounts otherwise payable to the Managing Member as fees are applied by the
Company at the request of the Investor Member to pay Operating Deficits, such
application shall serve to reduce any such liabilities after Placement In
Service, except for any liability incurred as the result of its gross
negligence, material misconduct, fraud or breach of fiduciary duty as Managing
Member of the Company.

     

     
(d)      the Investor Member hereby is granted an
irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to execute any and all
documents on behalf of the Members and the Company as shall be legally necessary
and sufficient to affect all of the foregoing provisions of this Section
8.13.  The election by the Investor Member to remove the Managing
Member as Managing Member under this Section shall not limit or restrict the
availability and use of any other remedy which the Investor Member or any other
Member might have with respect to the Managing Member in connection with their
undertakings and responsibilities under this Agreement.

additional funds are required by the Company for any purpose relating to the
business of the Company or for any of its obligations, expenses, costs or
expenditures, and (ii) the Company has not received an Additional Contribution,
Operating Deficit Loan, or Subordinated Loan to pay such amounts, then the
Company may borrow such funds as are needed from a Person or organization, in
accordance with the terms of this Section 8.17, for such period of time and on
such terms as the Managing Member and the Investor Member may agree; provided, however, that no such
additional loans shall be secured by any security interest in or encumbrance on
the Project without the Consent of the Investor Member except that such Consent
shall not be required in the case of the hypothecation of personal property
purchased by the Company and not included in the security agreements executed by
the Company as of effective date of this Agreement.  Nothing in this
Section 8.17 shall modify or affect the obligation of the Managing Member under
Section 8.09 to make Additional Contribution or Operating Deficit Loans and to
perform its obligations when and as required by this Agreement.

     

    8.18.            Operating Budget and Capital

effective.  Such Budget shall specifically provide for all budget
expenses in all major categories, including, but not limited to, administration,
operation, repairs and maintenance, utilities, capital improvements, taxes,

the Investor Member’s receipt of the proposed Budget.  After
commencement of the fiscal year covered by such Budget, the Managing Member
shall notify the Investor Member in writing of any proposed modification in the
allocation of funds among the specific categories in the Budget approved by the
Investor Member by more than (i) the greater of 10% or $2,500 in any category,
or (ii) more than 5% of the overall Budget.

    8.19.            Reserves.

Member shall be treated as having become, and as appearing in, the records of
the Company as a Member upon its signing of an amendment to this Agreement,

any portion of an Investor Member’s Interest, but does not become a Substitute
Investor Member and desires to make a further assignment of such Interest, shall

    9.05.            Put
Option

     

     
(a)       General.  The
Investor Member is hereby granted a right to sell its Company Interest to the
Managing Member (or the Managing Member’s assignee, including the Company) for
cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.05(d) (the “Put Price”), at
the option of the Investor Member at any time after the date upon which the
Pre-Flip Target IRR is projected to occur as reflected in the Projections (the
“Put Period”), upon delivery to the Managing Member of a written Notice of
purchase (a “Purchase Notice”), stating that all of such Investor Member
Interest shall be purchased pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in
this Section 9.05.

     

     
(b)       Cash
Payment.  Any purchase required of the Managing Member pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 9.05 shall be consummated by the delivery of
the cash representing the Put Price to be received by the Investor Member within
fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Purchase Notice.

     

     
(c)       Effective Date of
Purchase.  The effective date of the purchase shall be deemed
to be the date of the payment to the Investor Member described in Section
9.05(b) above.  Upon receipt by the Investor Member of such payment in
full, Profits, Losses and Credits shall thereafter accrue to the then-Members of
the Company and not the Investor Member.

     

     
(d)      Determination of Put
Price.  The Put Price shall be in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) fair market value of the Investor Member’s Interest, or
(ii) $157,974 or (iii) the amount necessary for the Investor Member to
achieve the Target IRR.  The fair market value of the Investor
Member’s Interest shall be determined by the Managing Member.  If the
Put Option is being exercised prior to the Flip Date,  the fair market
value of the Investor Member’s Interest shall be determined assuming that the
Flip Date has occurred.  If the Investor Member disagrees with the
determination by the Managing Member, the fair market value of the Investor
Member’s Interest shall be determined by one or more independent appraisers, to
be selected as follows.  As soon as practicable and in any event
within fifteen (15) days following the delivery by the Investor Member of the
Purchase Notice to the Managing Member, the Managing Member and the Investor
Member shall select an independent appraiser.  In the event the
parties are unable to agree upon an independent appraiser within such fifteen
(15) day period, the Managing Member and the Investor Member each, at their own
expense, shall select an independent appraiser.  If the difference
between the two appraisals is within ten percent (10%) of the lower of the two
appraisals, the fair market value shall be the average of the two (2)
appraisals.  If the difference between the two (2) appraisals is
greater than ten percent (10%) of the lower of the two (2) appraisals, then the
two appraisers shall jointly select a third appraiser whose determination of
fair market value shall be deemed to be binding on all parties.  The
cost of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by the Investor Member and
the Managing Member.  The Investor Member shall pay any transfer taxes
or other closing costs attributable to the exercise of the Put Option, except
that each of the parties shall be responsible for their own legal and accounting
expenses.

    9.06.            Call Option.

     

     
(a)       General.  The
Investor Member’s Company Interest shall be purchased by the Managing Member for
cash at the purchase price specified in Section 9.06 (d) (the “Call Price”), at
the option of the Managing Member at any time following the end of the
Compliance Period, but prior to the dissolution of the Company, upon delivery by
the Managing Member to the Investor Member of a Purchase Notice, stating that
all of such Investor Member Interest shall be purchased pursuant to the terms
and conditions specified in this Section 9.06.

     

     
(b)      Cash
Payment.  Any purchase by the Managing Member pursuant to the
provisions of Section 9.06(a) shall be consummated by the delivery of the cash
to be received by the Investor Member within fifteen (15) days following receipt
of the Purchase Notice and determination of the Call Price in accordance with
Section 9.06(d).

     

     
(c)      Effective Date of
Purchase.  The effective date of the purchase shall be deemed
to be the date of the payment to the Investor Member described in Section
9.06(b) above.  Upon receipt by the Investor Member of such payment in
full, Profits, Losses and Credits shall thereafter no longer accrue to the
Investor Member.

     

     
(d)      Determination of Call
Price.  The Call Price shall be in an amount equal to the
greater of (i) the fair market value of the Investor Member’s Interest, or (ii)
the amount necessary for the Investor Member to achieve the Target
IRR.  The fair market value of the Investor Member’s Interest shall be
determined by the Managing Member.  If the Call Option is being
exercised prior to the Flip Date,  the fair market value of the
Investor Member’s Interest shall be determined assuming that the Flip Date has
occurred.  If the Investor Member disagrees with the determination by
the Managing Member, the fair market value of the Investor Member’s Interest
shall be determined by one or more independent appraisers, to be selected as
follows:  As soon as practicable and in any event within fifteen (15)
days following the delivery by the Managing Member of the Purchase Notice to the
Investor Member, the Managing Member and the Investor Member shall select an
independent appraiser.  In the event the parties are unable to agree
upon an independent appraiser within such fifteen (15) day period, the Managing
Member and the Investor Member each shall select an independent
appraiser.  If the difference between the two appraisals is within ten
percent (10%) of the lower of the two appraisals, the fair market value shall be
the average of the two (2) appraisals.  If the difference between the
two (2) appraisals is greater than ten percent (10%) of the lower of the two (2)
appraisals, then the two appraisers shall jointly select a third appraiser whose
determination of fair market value shall be deemed to be binding on all
parties.  The Managing Member shall pay the cost of any appraiser(s)
selected pursuant to this Section 9.06(d), as well as any transfer taxes or
other closing costs attributable to the exercise of the Call
Option.

    PROFITS, LOSSES AND
DISTRIBUTIONS

     

    11.01.          Allocation of Profits,
Losses, Credits and Cash Distributions.

     

     
(a)       Prior to the Flip Date, after
application of Section 11.10, all Operating Profits and Operating Losses, except
those gains and losses referred to in Section 11.03, and all Tax Credits shall
be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests,
provided, however, at such time as the Investor Member’s Capital Account has
been reduced to an amount equal to four times the annual Tax Credit basis
reduction (after taking into account all Cash Flow distributions and Tax Credit
basis reductions for such year)  all Operating Losses incurred
thereafter until the Flip Date shall be allocated to the Managing
Member.

     

     
(b)       On and following the Flip Date,
after application of Section 11.10, all Operating Profits and Operating Losses,
except those gains and losses referred to in Section 11.03, and all Tax Credits
shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Residual Percentage
Interests.

     

     
(c)       In any year in which a Member
sells, assigns or transfers all or any portion of an Interest to any Person who
during such year is admitted as a substitute Member, the share of all Profits or
Losses allocated to, and of all Net Cash Flow and of all cash proceeds
distributable under Section 11.04 distributed to, all Members which is
attributable to the Interest sold, assigned or transferred shall be allocated
and distributed to the assignee from and after the first day of the calendar
month following the month in which the assignee executes this Agreement; provided, however, that the
assignor and the assignee may, by agreement, make special provisions for the
allocation of items of Profits or Losses, deduction or credit as may from time
to time be permitted under the Code, and for the distributions of Net Cash Flow
and the proceeds of Capital Transactions, but such allocation shall be binding
as to the Company only after it shall have received Notice thereof from the
assignor and assignee.

     

     
(d)      The Company shall, subject to any
required approval by the Lender, distribute Net Cash Flow quarterly in the
manner provided in this Agreement after the reports specified in Section
13.04(b) have been received and reviewed by the Investor Member.  In
particular, the Company shall distribute Net Cash Flow, following the funding of
reserves, if any, pursuant to Section 8.19:

     

        
(i)       Prior to the Flip Date to the
Members as follows:   (A) 75% to the Investor Member first to the
repayment of any Subordinated Loans made by the Investor Member and then as a
distribution, and (B) 25% to the Managing Member first to repay any amounts owed
under the Development Agreement, then to repay any Operating Deficit Loans
and/or Subordinated Loans made by the Managing Member and then as a
distribution,  provided, however,  the Investor Member’s
share of Net Cash Flow shall, to the extent necessary, increase (and the
Managing Member’s share shall correspondingly decrease) in an amount necessary
for the Investor Member to receive cash flow in the amount set forth in the
Projections for such year; and

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          49

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

         
(ii)     On and following the Flip Date, to the Members
as follows:  5% to the Investor Member and 95% to the Managing
Member.

     

      (e)       In
the event that there is a determination that there is any original issue
discount, imputed interest or stated interest attributable to the Capital
Contribution of any Member, or any loan between a Member and the Company, any
income or deduction of the Company attributable to such imputed interest, stated
interest or original issue discount on such Capital Contribution or loan
(whether stated or unstated) shall be allocated solely to such
Member.

     

     
(f)        If any Member’s Interest in
the Company is reduced but not eliminated because of the admission of new
Members or otherwise, or if any Member is treated as receiving any items of
property described in Section 751(a) of the Code, the Member’s Interest in such
items of Section 751(a) property that was property of the Company while such
Person was a Member shall not be reduced, but shall be retained by the Member so
long as the Member has an Interest in the Company and so long as the Company has
an Interest in such property.

     

     
(g)       In accordance with Section 704(c)
of the Code (relating to allocations with respect to appreciated contributed
property) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and
deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company
shall be allocated, solely for tax purposes, 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 fair market
value.  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.

     

     
(h)       In the event that the Managing
Member makes any Operating Deficit Loans pursuant to Section 8.09(b), any
deductions or losses of the Company attributable to the use of those funds shall
be specially allocated to the Managing Member.

     

     
(i)        Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary,  if the Investor Member receives Net Cash Flow
in any year less than the amount projected for such year as set forth in the
Projections (any such shortfall being referred to as the “Annual Cash
Deficiency”),  then the Managing Member shall use best efforts to
cause the Company to sell RECs (then held by the Company) to a third party for
an amount sufficient to distribute to the Investor Member proceeds equal to such
Annual Cash Deficiency.  Upon receipt of any such sale
proceeds,  the Company shall make a distribution to the Investor
Member up to an amount equal to the Annual Cash Deficiency.  Any
proceeds received by the Company in excess of the Annual Cash Deficiency shall
be distributed to the Managing Member.

     

    11.02.          Determination of Profits or
Losses.

     

    Profits
or Losses for all purposes of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance
with the accrual method of accounting for federal income tax
purposes.

    11.03.          Allocation of Profits or
Losses from a Capital Transaction.

     

    After
application of Section 11.10, Profits or Losses from a Capital Transaction
recognized by the Company shall be allocated in the following
manner:

     

     
(a)      All Profits shall be allocated (i) first,
to the Members with negative Capital Account balances, in proportion to such
balances, that portion of gains (including any Profits treated as ordinary
income for federal income tax purposes) which is equal in amount to such
Members’ negative Capital Accounts in the Company; (ii) second, Profits in
excess of the amount allocated under (i) shall be allocated to the Members in
the amount and to the extent necessary to increase their Capital Accounts so
that the proceeds of such Transaction, if then distributed under Section 11.04,
would be distributed in proportion to the Members’ Percentage Interest or
Residual Percentage Interests, as applicable.

     

      (b)       Losses
shall be allocated (i) first, to the extent of and in such proportions to the
Members’ positive Capital Accounts; and (ii) second, the amount of any Losses
that remain after the allocations in subparagraph (b)(i) to the Members in
accordance with the manner in which they bear the economic risk of loss
associated with such Losses.  In the event that no Member bears an
economic risk of loss, then all Members shall be allocated Losses in excess of
the amounts allocated under (i) and (ii) in accordance with their Percentage
Interest or Residual Percentage Interests, as applicable, unless otherwise
prohibited by this Agreement.

     

     
(c)       If any portion of the gains from a
Capital Transaction are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax
purposes under Sections 1245 and 1250 of the Code (“Ordinary Income Amount”)
such amount of ordinary income shall be allocated on a dollar for dollar basis
to those Members to whom the items of Company deduction or loss giving rise to
the Ordinary Income Amount had been previously allocated.

     

    11.04.          Distribution of Proceeds
from a Capital Transaction.

     

    Except as
may be required under Section 12.02(b), the net proceeds resulting from any
Capital Transaction, as the case may be, shall be distributed and applied in the
following order of priority:

     

     
(a)      to the payment of all matured debts and
liabilities of the Company (including amounts due pursuant to any Loan and all
expenses of the Company incident to any sale or refinancing), excluding any
amounts owed under the Development Agreement and any other debts and liabilities
of the Company to Members or any Affiliates;

     

     
(b)      to the setting up of any reserves which
the Liquidator (or the Managing Member if the distribution is not pursuant to
the liquidation of the Company) deems reasonably necessary for contingent,
unmatured or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company;

     

      
(c)      to the Investor Member,  in an
amount necessary for the Investor Member to achieve its Target IRR;

      (d)      to
the repayment of any unrepaid debts and liabilities (including unpaid fees) owed
to the Members or any Affiliates by the Company for Company obligations,
including any loans made pursuant to Section 5.06, any amounts owed under the
Development Agreement and any Operating Deficit Loans;

     

      (e)       to
the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests or Residual
Percentage, as applicable.

     

    11.05.          Capital
Accounts.

     

    A
separate Capital Account shall be maintained and adjusted for each
Member.  There shall be credited to each Member’s Capital Account the
amount of its Capital Contribution, the fair market value of any property
contributed to the Company (net of any liabilities secured by such property) and
such Member’s distributive share of the Profits for tax purposes of the Company;
and there shall be charged against each Member’s Capital Account the amount of
all Net Cash Flow distributed to such Member, the fair market value of any
property distributed to such Member (net of any liabilities secured by such
property), the net proceeds resulting from the liquidation of the Company’s
assets or from any Capital Transaction distributed to such Member, and such
Member’s distributive share of the Losses for tax purposes of the
Company.  Each Member’s Capital Account shall be maintained and
adjusted in accordance with the Code and the Treasury Regulations
thereunder.  The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this
Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply
with Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner
consistent with such regulations.  It is the intention of the Members
that the Capital Accounts maintained under this Agreement be determined and
maintained throughout the full term of this Agreement in accordance with the
accounting rules of Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).

     

    11.06.          Authority of Managing Member
to Vary Allocations to Preserve and Protect Members’ Intent.

     

    It is the
intent of the Members that each Member’s distributive share of income, gain,
loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) shall be determined and allocated
in accordance with this Article XI to the fullest extent permitted by Section
704(b) of the Code.  Subject to the Consent of the Investor Member,
the Managing Member hereby is authorized and directed to allocate income, gain,
loss, deduction, or credit (or item thereof) arising in any year differently
than otherwise provided for in this Article XI to the extent that allocating
income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or item thereof) in the manner provided
for in Article XI would, in the opinion of the tax advisor to the Company (tax
counsel or the Accountants) cause the determinations and allocations of each
Member’s distributive share of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit (or item
thereof) not to be permitted by Section 704(b) of the Code and Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder.  Any allocation made pursuant to
this Section 11.06 shall be deemed to be a complete substitute for any
allocation otherwise provided for in this Article XI and no amendment of this
Agreement or approval of any Member shall be required.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          52

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    11.07.          Designation of Tax Matters
Partner.

     

    The
Managing Member hereby is designated as Tax Matters Partner of the Company, and
shall engage in such undertakings as are required of the Tax Matters Partner of
the Company, as provided in Treasury Regulations pursuant to Section 6231 of the
Code.  Each Member, by the execution of this Agreement, Consents to
such designation of the Tax Matters Partner and agrees to execute, certify,
acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public
offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such
Consent.  In the event of a withdrawal or removal of the Managing
Member pursuant to Article VI or Section 8.13 hereof, the Company shall
designate a successor Tax Matters Partner and file a timely notice of such
designation with the Internal Revenue Service.

     

    Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the Investor Member hereby is granted
authority at any time to be admitted as a Managing Member by converting all or
portion of its Investor Member Interest to a Managing Member Interest for the
purpose of acting as the Tax Matters Partner with all the authority and powers
given to the Managing Member as Tax Matters Partner of the Company under the
Code and under this Agreement.  Unless otherwise specifically provided
or agreed, the new Tax Matters Partner Managing Member in these circumstances
will not be responsible for or have the right to conduct any operational or
managerial functions of the Company besides those required to discharge its
responsibilities as Tax Matters Partner.  The Investor Member may
exercise its right to assume the Tax Matters Partner responsibilities for the
Company, as provided herewith, upon ten (10) days Notice to the then existing
Tax Matters Partner and may continue as Tax Matters Partner
indefinitely.  In the event that the Investor Member exercises its
right to become a Managing Member and to assume duties of the Tax Matters
Partner, the pre-existing Tax Matters Partner will resign in accordance with
Treasury Reg. § 301.6231(a)(7)-1(i) and will redesignate the new Managing Member
as Tax Matters Partner in accordance with Treasury Reg. §
301.6231(a)(7)-1(e).  Each Member, by its execution of this Agreement,
Consents to such admission and designation and agrees to execute, certify,
acknowledge, deliver, swear to, file and record at the appropriate public
offices such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such
Consent.  The Investor Member shall, upon such admission, replace the
Managing Member as Tax Matters Partner and shall have thereafter all the
authority and powers given to the Managing Member as Tax Matters Partner of the
Company under the Code and under this Agreement.

(b)      The Tax Matters Partner shall, upon
request by the Investor Member, permit the Investor Member to include its

  (v)      intervene in any action brought by

        54

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    11.09.          Expenses of Tax Matters
Partner.

    

    The
Company shall indemnify and reimburse the Tax Matters Partner and the Investor
Member for all expenses, including legal and accounting fees, claims,
liabilities, losses and damages incurred in connection with any administrative
or judicial proceeding with respect to the tax liabilities of the
Members.  The payment of all such expenses shall be made before any
distributions are made from Net Cash Flow or any discretionary reserves are set
aside by the Managing Member. The taking of any action and the incurring of any
expense by the Tax Matters Partner in connection with any such proceeding,
except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole discretion of the
Tax Matters Partner and the provisions on limitations of liability of the
Managing Member and indemnification set forth in Section 8.07 of this Agreement
shall be fully applicable to the Tax Matters Partner in its capacity as
such.

     

    11.10.          Special
Allocations.

     

     
(a)      Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in the Company’s minimum gain
attributable to nonrecourse liabilities during any taxable year, each Member
shall be specifically allocated a pro rata portion of each of the Company’s
items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary for subsequent years)
in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to such Member’s share
of the net decrease in such minimum gain during such taxable year as determined
in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Reg. §§ 1.704-2(f),
1.704-2(g)(2).

     

      (b)      Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if there is a net decrease in the amount
of the Company’s minimum gain during any taxable year with respect to a Member
nonrecourse debt, the Member bearing the economic risk of loss with respect to
such Member nonrecourse debt shall be specially allocated a pro rata portion of
each of the Company’s items of income and gain for such taxable year (and, if
necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of the
amount of such Member’s share of the net decrease in such minimum gain during
such taxable year as determined in accordance with the provisions of Treasury
Reg. §§1.704-2(i)(4), 1.704-2(j)(2))(ii).

     

     
(c)       If in any taxable year there is a
net increase in the amount of Company minimum gain attributable to a Member
nonrecourse debt, the Member bearing the economic risk of loss attributable to
such Member nonrecourse debt shall be specially allocated items of Company
deduction and loss in proportion to and to the extent of the excess
of:

     

         
(i)       the amount of such net increase,
over

     

          (ii)      the
aggregate amount of any distributions during such taxable year to such Member of
the proceeds of such Member nonrecourse debt that are allocable to such increase
in Company minimum gain.  Items to be so allocated shall be determined
in accordance with Treasury Reg. §1.704-2(j)(l).

     

    The
allocations provided for in this Section 11.10(c) are intended to comply with
the allocations required by Treasury Reg. §1.704-2(i) and shall be applied
consistently therewith.  The Company’s minimum gain shall be
determined in accordance with Treasury Reg. § 1.704-2(d).

     

     
(d)      In the event any Member unexpectedly
receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury
Reg. §§1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which cause or increase an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit (as defined below) of such Member, items of Company
income and gain shall be specially allocated to each such Member in an amount
and manner sufficient to eliminate (to the extent required by the Treasury
Regulations under Code Section 704(b)) such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit as quickly as possible.

     

    
      
        
           

        

        
          55

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

    

     

    For
purposes of this Section 11.10, the term “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit”
means, with respect to any Member, the deficit balance, if any, in such Member’s
Capital Account as of the end of the relevant fiscal year, after giving effect
to the following adjustments:

     

        
(i)       Credit to such Capital Account any
amounts which such Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any provision of
this Agreement or is otherwise treated as being obligated to restore under
Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or is deemed to be obligated to restore
pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Treasury Reg. §§1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5); and

     

        
(ii)      Debit to such Capital Account the items
described in Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

     

    The
foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply
with the provisions of Treasury Reg. §1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.

     

     
(e)      Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section 11.10, in no event shall Losses of the Company be allocated to any
Investor Member if such allocation would result in such Member having an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year.  All
Losses in excess of the limitation set forth in this Section 11.10(e) shall be
allocated to each other Member that does not have an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit.

     

     
(f)       In the event that income, loss or
items thereof are allocated to one or more Members pursuant to Sections
11.10(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), subsequent income, loss or items thereof shall
be allocated (subject to the provisions of Section 11.10(a), (b), (c), (d) or
(e)) to the Members so that, to the extent possible in the judgment of the
Managing Member and permitted by Treasury Regulations, the net amount of
allocations shall be equal to the amount that would have been allocated had
Section 11.10 not been applied.

     

     
(g)      Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, commencing in the year following the year in
which the Investor Member’s Capital Account has been reduced to an amount equal
to four times the annual Tax Credit basis reduction and continuing until the
Flip Date, the Investor Member shall be allocated gross income in an amount
equal to the amount of Cash flow distributed or to be distributed to the
Investor Member pursuant to Section 11.01(d) of this Agreement.

    The
Company shall be dissolved upon the earlier of the expiration of the term of the
Company, or upon:

     

     
(a)       the withdrawal, Bankruptcy or
dissolution of a Managing Member who  is at that time the sole
Managing Member, unless a majority in Interest of the other Members within
ninety (90) days after receiving Notice of such withdrawal,
Bankruptcy  or dissolution elects to designate a successor Managing
Member(s) and continue the Company upon the admission of such successor Managing
Member(s) to the Company;

     

     
(b)       the sale or other disposition of

sell and otherwise liquidate the Company’s property and assets; provided

or all of the Company property would cause undue loss to the Members, then in
order to avoid such loss, the Liquidator may, except to the extent provided by
the Act, defer the liquidation as may be necessary to satisfy the debts and
liabilities of the Company to Persons other than the Members.  Upon
the complete liquidation and distribution of the Company assets, the Members

forth the assets and liabilities of the Company upon its
dissolution.  Promptly following the complete liquidation and
distribution of the Company property and assets, the Company accountants shall
prepare, and the Liquidator shall furnish to each Member, a statement showing
the manner in which the Company assets were liquidated and
distributed.
