The Class A Member understands that (A) its Interest has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any U.S. state and accordingly may not be offered, sold, transferred or pledged unless its Interest is duly registered under the Securities Act and all other applicable securities laws or financial services laws or regulations of any jurisdiction or such offer or sale is made in accordance with an exemption from registration (including, if applicable, Regulation S), (B) this Agreement contains substantial restrictions on the transferability of its Interest, (C) no market for resale of its Interest exists or is expected to develop, (D) the Class A Member may not be able to liquidate its investment in the Company and (E) any instruments representing its Interest may bear legends restricting the transfer thereof.

To the full satisfaction of the Class A Member, the Class A Member has been furnished with any materials the Class A Member has requested relating to the Company or the issuance of its Interest. In considering its acquisition of its Interest, the Class A Member is not relying, and will not rely with respect to its Interest upon any representations or warranties made by, or other information (including, without limitation, any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, website or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and any seminars or meetings whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or advertising) furnished by or on behalf of, the Company, the Managing Member, the Class B Member, any Affiliate of the foregoing or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, shareholders, advisers, attorneys-in-fact, representatives or agents, written or otherwise, other than as set forth in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and/or any separate agreement in writing with the Managing Member executed in conjunction with the Class A Member’s acquisition of its Interest.

2.12 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) The Members and the Company agree that for tax purposes, the Class A Member’s Initial Capital Contribution in exchange for its rights to the distributions set forth in Article 8 and Section 10.3 shall be treated as a disguised sale (under Section 707 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) from the Class A Member to the Class B Member on the Original Closing Date, and that the rights to receive the distributions set forth in Article 8 and Section 10.3 shall be treated as an obligation of the Class B Member to make such payments as consideration for such disguised sale.

(b) The Members intend that the Company be disregarded as an entity separate from the owner of the Class B Member for tax purposes, and that the Class A Member not be treated as a “partner” of the Company for tax purposes. The Company shall not elect to be classified as an association taxable as a corporation on Internal Revenue Service Form 8832.

(c) The Members and the Company agree, except as otherwise required by applicable law (as agreed to by the Managing Member and the Class A Member) or pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, not to take an inconsistent position with such treatment on any tax return. Subject to the preceding sentence, in the event that the Class A Member is required to be treated as a “partner” of the Company for tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company by the Members shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such property for federal income tax purposes and the value of such property reflected on the books of the Company using the “ remedial method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(b).

(d) The Members acknowledge that the Class B Member is an Affiliate of HIT REIT and agree to manage the Company and its Subsidiaries in a manner that enables HIT REIT to qualify as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code and that recognizes the income, asset and operating requirements applicable to a real estate investment trust under the Code. To this end, the Members shall cooperate to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) to (A) limit the investment of amounts deposited in the Cash Management Account to investments treated as cash, cash items or government securities for purposes of Section 856(c)(4) of the Code and (B) otherwise operate in such a manner such that the Company, assuming it were a real estate investment trust, would satisfy the income and asset tests applicable to real estate investment trusts and would not be subject to any taxes under Section 857 of the Code, and (ii) to avoid taking any action that could otherwise result in HIT REIT failing to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 2.12(d), nothing herein shall in any way limit the rights or remedies of the Class A Member hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents or modify the economic or other terms of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. The provisions of this Section 2.12(d) shall continue to apply for so long as the Class B Member owns an economic interest in the Company and, if the Class B Member is not the Managing Member, the Managing Member shall provide the Class B Member with any information regarding the Company it reasonably requests for purposes of establishing the Company’s compliance with this Section 2.12(d).

Any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Class A Member, including any amounts payable to Affiliates of the Class A Member, in acting as the Managing Member of the Company shall be promptly reimbursed by the Company. The Class A Member’s authority and rights pursuant to the preceding sentence are in addition to, and not in limitation or to the exclusion of, any of the Class A Member’s other rights or remedies herein or in any of the other Transaction Documents following a Changeover Event. Upon the declaration of a Changeover Event by the Class A Member, the Class A Member shall deliver, or cause its Affiliate to deliver, to Senior Lender the replacement guaranty and environmental indemnity required by the terms of the Senior Loan Documents.

(b) For the avoidance of any doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, the Class B Member hereby consents and agrees that upon the declaration by the Class A Member of the occurrence of a Changeover Event (subject to the provisions of Section 3.5 solely in the case of the events described in clauses (4), (5), (6), (10), (11), (18), (19), (20), (21) and (22) of the definition of Changeover Event), the Class A Member shall have sole and exclusive right, power and authority (i) to sell the Company or the direct or indirect interests of the Company in its Subsidiaries or cause the Company and each Subsidiary to sell or refinance all or any portion of its assets at such time or times as the Class A Member in its sole discretion shall determine, regardless of market conditions, real estate values or financial conditions at such time or times, regardless of the impact of such sale or refinancing or the timing thereof on the Company or the Class B Member (and regardless of the benefits derived by the Class A Member or the consequences suffered by the Class B Member or any Affiliate thereof by virtue of or from such sale or refinancing), provided that in no event may the Class A Member sell the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties to the Class A Member or an Affiliate of the Class A Member, (ii) to cause the Company and/or its applicable Subsidiaries to incur one or more Additional Mezzanine Loans pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, (iii) to cause the Company promptly to make any and all payments and/or distributions to the Class A Member and any of its Affiliates to the extent of any amounts then due or past due or that thereafter become payable pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or of all or any portion of the Class A Member’s Unrecovered Capital (whether or not then “due”), regardless of the impact of such payments or distributions on the Company or the Class B Member, (iv) to cause the Company to liquidate pursuant to Article 10, and (v) to exercise the rights and powers granted to it pursuant to paragraph (a) above, including, without limitation, the making of any Significant Decision, in such manner as the Class A Member determines, in its sole discretion, and, in each of the foregoing cases, take (or cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take) all actions and make all decisions that are reasonably related to its exercise of the foregoing remedies).

(c) In financing or refinancing a Property or any other asset of the Company or any Subsidiary under the circumstances described in (b) above, the Class A Member may conduct the financing process or refinancing process, as applicable, in any manner the Class A Member determines, in its sole discretion, provided, that in no event may the Class A Member cause the Company or any Subsidiary to enter into financings or refinancings with the Class A Member or an Affiliate of the Class A Member.

(d) The Class B Member acknowledges and agrees that in exercising the authority granted to the Class A Member in the foregoing provisions and elsewhere in this Agreement and each other Transaction Document relating to or following a Changeover Event, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Class A Member shall have no duty, obligation or liability (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Class B Member or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person whatsoever (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement), it being understood that the Class A Member shall be entitled to exercise such authority in any manner it deems necessary or desirable to maximize the value of its investment in the Company or to fulfill any other Class A Member objective.

(e) In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in this Article 3 and elsewhere in this Agreement, following the occurrence of a Changeover Event, the Unrecovered Capital shall accrue a return in favor of the Class A Member at the Increased Rate.

(f) The Class B Member acknowledges and agrees that the authority granted to the Class A Member in this Article 3 was a material inducement and conditions precedent to the Class A Member’s willingness to make its investment in the Company, and that the Class A Member would have refused to make its investment absent such authority.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.3, following the replacement of the Managing Member by the Class A Member pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3(a), the Managing Member shall not take or cause the Company or any Subsidiary to take any of the following actions (each, a “Fundamental Decision”), unless such action has been approved by all of the Equity Members in writing and in advance:

(1) causing the Company or any Subsidiary to engage in any business other than the business described in Section 2.5 hereof;

(2) acquiring any other real property other than the Properties and any fee estate(s) underlying any Property that is subject to a ground lease;

(6) causing the Company or any Subsidiary to enter into any agreement or arrangement with the Class A Member or an Affiliate of the Class A Member unless such agreement or arrangement is on arm’s-length commercially reasonable terms.

3.4 Buy/Sell Following a Changeover Event; Remedy Not Exclusive.

(a) Subject to Section 3.5, if the Class A Member gives the Class B Member notice of a Changeover Event, then, in addition to all other rights of the Class A Member hereunder at law or otherwise, the Class A Member shall have the right (but not the obligation), in its sole and absolute discretion to initiate the following “buy/sell” procedure by delivering an election notice to the Class B Member (such notice, an “Election Notice”). Such Election Notice shall state that the Class A Member has elected to initiate the buy/sell procedures in this Section 3.4, pursuant to which the Company will be sold to either the Class B Member or the Class A Member. Within ten (10) Business Days after receiving an Election Notice from the Class A Member (with time being of the essence), the Class B Member shall deliver to the Class A Member a response (the “Buy/Sell Response Notice”) setting forth a proposed price (the “Offer Price”) for the Company. Any such Buy/Sell Response Notice shall state that it is, and in any event shall be deemed, an irrevocable and unconditional offer by the Class B Member (i) to buy the Interest of the Class A Member for (A) the amount that the Class A Member would have received if the Company were sold for the Offer Price and the proceeds thereof were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 8.4, plus (B) without duplication, any amounts owed to the Class A Member and any of its Affiliates pursuant to the terms hereof (including as a result of the Changeover Event in question), less (C) the amount of the Class B Member Deposit (as hereinafter defined) posted by the Class B Member (the “Class A Interest Sale Price”) and (ii) to sell to the Class A Member the Interest of the Class B Member for (A) the amount that the Class B Member would have received if the Company were sold for the Offer Price and the proceeds thereof were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 8.4, less (B) without duplication, any amounts owed to the Class A Member and any of its Affiliates pursuant to the terms hereof (including as a result of the Changeover Event in question), less (C) the amount of the Class A Member Deposit (as hereinafter defined) posted by the Class A Member (the “Class B Interest Sale Price”). If the Class B Member shall fail to deliver a Buy/Sell Response Notice within such 10-Business Day period, then the Class B Member shall nevertheless be deemed to have delivered, and the Class A Member shall be deemed to have received, a Buy/Sell Response Notice with an Offer Price equal to the Redemption Price. The Class A Member shall have the right, by notice to the Class B Member within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery (or deemed delivery) of the Buy/Sell Response Notice, either:

(1) to buy (or have its designee buy) the Interest of the Class B Member for the Class B Interest Sale Price, or

(2) sell the Class A Member’s Interest in the Company to the Class B Member (or to their designee) for the Class A Interest Sale Price.

(b) If the Class A Member does not respond to a Buy/Sell Response Notice within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt (or deemed receipt) thereof and the Class A Interest Sale Price set forth in such Buy/Sell Response Notice is greater than the Redemption Price, the Class A Member shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Interest to the Class B Member for such Class A Interest Sale Price. If the Class A Member does not respond to a Buy/Sell Response Notice within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof and the Class A Interest Sale Price set forth in such Buy/Sell Response Notice is equal to or less than the Redemption Price, the value of the Interest of the Class B Member shall conclusively be deemed to be zero ($0) and the Class A Member shall be deemed to have elected to buy the Interest of the Class B Member for a Class B Interest Sale Price equal to $1.

(c) If the Class A Member elects (or is deemed to have elected) to sell its Interest to the Class B Member (or its designee) for the Class A Interest Sale Price, then, within thirty (30) days following such election, the Class B Member shall fund to the Class A Member a non‑refundable xxxxxxx money deposit in the amount of five percent (5%) of the Class A Interest Sale Price (the “Initial Class B Member Deposit”). If the Class B Member shall fail to fund the Initial Class B Member Deposit to the Class A Member on or prior to the expiration of such 30‑day period, then (i) the election of the Class A Member to sell its Interest to the Class B Member (or its designee) for the Class A Interest Sale Price shall be deemed revoked and the Class A Member shall instead be deemed to have elected to purchase the Class B Member’s Interest for the Class B Interest Sale Price and (ii) the Class B Interest Sale Price for such acquisition shall be $1.

(d) If the Class A Member elects to acquire the Interest of the Class B Member for the Class B Interest Sale Price, then, within thirty (30) days following such election, the Class A Member shall fund to the Class B Member a non-refundable xxxxxxx money deposit in the amount of five percent (5%) of the Class B Interest Sale Price (the “Class A Member Deposit” and each of the Class A Member Deposit and the Class B Member Deposit being referred to herein as a “Deposit”). If the Class A Member shall fail to fund the Class A Member Deposit to the Class B Member on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then the Class A Member shall be deemed to have elected to sell its Interest to the Class B Member for the Class A Interest Sale Price and the Class B Member shall have a period of ten (10) Business Days to either (1) elect to acquire the Internet of the Class A Member for the Class A Interest Sale Price or (2) elect not to acquire the Interest of the Class A Member, in which case the Class A Member may not issue a new Election Notice for a period of thirty (30) days.

(e) Subject to Section 3.4(h), the closing for any such sale transaction shall occur no later than sixty (60) days after the date on which the Initial Class B Member Deposit or the Class A Member Deposit (as applicable) has been funded, with time being of the essence. If either Member defaults on its obligation to close within the 60-day period described above, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to the non-defaulting Member, (x) if the non- defaulting Member received a Deposit from the defaulting Member, the non-defaulting Member shell be entitled to keep such Deposit, together with any interest thereon, as liquidated damages, it being agreed that the non-defaulting Member’s actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain and that the liquidated damages hereinabove specified are a fair and reasonable estimate of the actual damages that the non-defaulting Member would suffer in the event of a default by the other Member; each Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that said liquidated damages are in no way a penalty or forfeiture, but instead represent the Members’ best estimate of the actual damages that would be suffered by the non-defaulting Member in the event of such a default, and (y) if the non-defaulting Member funded a Deposit, the non-defaulting Member shall be entitled to receive a return of such Deposit and seek specific performance of the defaulting Member’s obligation to sell its Interest to the non-defaulting Member.

(f) Each of the Class A Member and the Class B Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon exercise by the Class A Member (or its designee) of the buy/sell option as described above, the selling Member must and will transfer its Interest free and clear of all Liens and adverse claims other than Liens arising pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan Documents, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. In the event that a Member shall have created or suffered any unauthorized Liens or other adverse claims against all or any portion of its Interest, then in addition to any other remedies then available, the acquiring Member or its designee shall be entitled to an action for specific performance to compel the selling Member and its constituent members and controlling persons to cause such adverse interests to be removed without any cost to the Company or the acquiring Member.

(g) At the closing of any sale of a Member’s Interest under this Section, each of the buying Member and the selling Member shall be deemed to have released the other from any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, actions, judgments, suits or proceedings relating to the Company, the Members’ Interests and the Properties, except for liabilities arising under the Guarantees or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement which by their terms survive redemption of the Interests of the Class A Member. Each Member agrees to deliver any additional documents reasonably requested by the other Member to evidence or effectuate such releases.

(h) In connection with any acquisition by the Class B Member of the Class A Member’s Interest pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.4, the Class B Member must comply with all applicable assumption, transfer and change in control conditions and provisions of the Senior Loan Documents and must obtain a release of the Class A Member and/or its Affiliates from their respective obligations under any guarantees and/or indemnities provided to the Senior Lenders in connection with the declaration of a Changeover Event, which compliance and release shall each be a condition to the obligation of the Class A Member to sell its Interest to the Class B Member pursuant to this Section 3.4. If the Class B Member fails to satisfy the conditions to closing set forth in the immediately preceding sentence prior to the expiration of the 60-day period described in paragraph (c) above, then the Class A Member’s election to sell its Interest to the Class B Member shall be null and void and the Class A Member shall instead be deemed to have elected to acquire the Class B Member’s Interest, provided that the Class B Interest Sale Price for such acquisition shall be $1; provided that the Class B Member shall be entitled to extend such 60-day period for an additional thirty (30) days in order to satisfy such condition if the Class B Member funds to the Class A Member an additional non-refundable xxxxxxx money deposit in the amount of five percent (5%) of the Class A Interest Sale Price (the “Additional Class B Member Deposit” and, together with the Initial Class B Member Deposit, collectively, the “Class B Member Deposit”).

(i) The Class B Member will bear the costs incurred by both parties in connection with the exercise of the buy/sell, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, transfer taxes, termination fees (including contractual damages) and the costs of obtaining any consents or approvals.

(j) Subject to Section 3.4(g), the Class B Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the rights granted in this Section 3.4 is intended or shall be deemed to be exclusive, but that each is intended to and will be in addition to all the other rights available to the Class A Member following a Changeover Event, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, at law, in equity, or otherwise.

(k) Nothing herein shall limit the Class B Member’s right to redeem the Class A Member’s Interest in the Company pursuant to terms of Section 8.3 hereof.

3.5 The Class B Member’s Rights Following a Changeover Event. If, the Class A Member gives the Class B Member a notice alleging the occurrence of a Changeover Event pursuant to Section 3.3 (such notice, a “Changeover Notice”) alleges only the occurrence of events of the type described in clauses (4), (5), (6), (10), (11), (18), (19), (20), (21) and (22) of the definition of Changeover Event and not of events described in any other clauses of the definition of Changeover Event, then, unless an arbitration award or judicial determination has already been issued supporting the allegations of the Changeover Notice, the Class B Member shall be entitled, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of the Changeover Notice, to contest such allegations by delivering good faith written notice containing reasonable detail as to its basis for contesting such allegations (a “Dispute Notice”) within such 10-Business Day period to the Class A Member and, within such 10-Business Day period, submitting the same to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.10. If the Class B Member fails to give such Dispute Notice within such 10-Business Day period, then (i) it shall be automatically and conclusively deemed that the allegations in the Changeover Notice are true and (ii) the Class A Member shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights hereunder, including its rights to initiate the buy/sell and sell the Properties, the Company or the Subsidiaries. If the Class B Member timely delivers a Dispute Notice and submits the matter to arbitration as aforesaid and the arbitration panel appointed pursuant to Section 12.10 determines that (x) one or more of the events described in the Changeover Notice did constitute one or more Changeover Events, then the Class A Member shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies hereunder retroactive, as applicable, to the date on which the Class A Member delivered the Changeover Notice, including its rights to charge the Increased Rate and to initiate the buy/sell and sell the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Properties, or (y) none of the events described in the Changeover Notice constituted a Changeover Event, then it shall be automatically and conclusively deemed that the Changeover Events specified in the Changeover Notice did not occur and the Class B Member shall be reinstated as the Managing Member (if it was acting as Managing Member immediately prior to the Class A Member’s declaration of a Changeover Event) and the Class A Member shall not be entitled to exercise its rights with respect to such Changeover Notice (without prejudice to its rights and remedies with respect to any other occurrence of a Changeover Event). In no event may the arbitration panel consider the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement, and the scope of any proceeding before the arbitration panel shall be limited to whether the grounds for the declaration of a Changeover Event in fact existed. Pending the ruling of such arbitration panel, a Changeover Event subject to this Section 3.5 will not be deemed to have occurred with respect to the matters before the arbitration panel, the Class A Member will not have the right to sell the Properties, the Company or the Subsidiaries or initiate the buy/sell procedures described in Section 3.4 in respect of such Changeover Event and the Managing Member shall continue to operate the Company and the Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In no event may the Class B Member arbitrate the occurrence of any Changeover Event described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (7), (8), (9), (12), (13), (14), (15), (16) or (17) of the definition of “Changeover Event” and any declaration by the Class A Member of a Changeover Event based in whole or in part on any one or more of the events described in such clauses shall be effective immediately.

3.6 Significant Decisions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement but subject to Section 3.3, no Member shall take or cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary to take any of the following actions, expend any amount of money, make any decision or incur any obligation on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to any matter within the scope of any of the matters enumerated below (each a “Significant Decision”) unless the action, expenditure or other decision has been approved by the Class A Member in writing and in advance and has been approved in accordance with any other requirements of this Agreement:

If the Class B Member fails to contribute such Protective Capital within the applicable time period set forth in paragraph (b) below after the Class A Member gives the Class B Member written notice that it has reasonably determined that the Company is in need of such additional capital, then, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (b) below, the Class A Member shall have the right, power and authority, but not the obligation, to make such payments on the Company’s behalf and, notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Article 3, to take any other actions reasonably related thereto in the Company’s name and on the Company’s behalf to fulfill the purpose for which the Protective Capital was needed, and the amount of any advance made by the Class A Member, together with any expenses incurred by the Class A Member in connection therewith (collectively, the “Class A Member Protective Advance”), shall constitute an additional Capital Contribution by the Class A Member, which shall be returned in full (together with a return thereon at the Increased Rate) prior to any distributions to the Class B Member.

The Class B Member shall contribute to the Company funds necessary to enable the Company to reimburse the Class A Member for any such emergency contribution within five (5) days after receipt of notice that the contribution was made, together with interest thereon at the Increased Rate until repaid.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Class A Member shall not be required under any circumstance to contribute additional capital or other amounts to the Company and no other Member shall be required to contribute additional capital except as set forth in this Section 6.2. Following the occurrence of a Changeover Event, the Class A Member shall be entitled to fund additional Capital Contributions from time to time as necessary to manage, operate, finance and sell the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Properties, as determined by the Class A Member in its sole and absolute discretion.

6.3 Application of Capital. The Class B Member shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary on behalf of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries to disburse the proceeds of any Capital Contributions or Protective Capital for the purposes for which the funds were contributed.

9.5 Substituted Members.

(a) Any Member that assigns all of its Interests pursuant to an assignment or assignments permitted under this Agreement shall cease to be a Member of the Company except that unless and until a Substituted Member is admitted in its stead, the assigning Member shall not cease to be a Member of the Company under the Act and shall retain the rights and powers of a member under the Act and hereunder, provided that such assigning Member may, prior to the admission of a Substituted Member, assign its economic interest in its Interest, to the extent otherwise permitted under this Article 9. Any Person who is an assignee of any portion of the Interest of a Member pursuant to an assignment satisfying the requirements of this Article 9 shall become a Substituted Member only when (i) the Managing Member has entered such assignee as a Member on the books and records of the Company, which the Managing Member is hereby directed to do upon satisfaction of such requirements, and (ii) such assignee has paid all of the Company’s reasonable legal fees and filing costs in connection with the substitution as a member.

(b) Any Person who is an assignee of any of the Interest of a Member pursuant to an assignment satisfying the requirements of this Article 9 but who does not become a Substituted Member (or pursuant to an assignment by operation of law, who shall not become a Substituted Member) and desires to make a further assignment of any such Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 9 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Member desiring to make an assignment of its Interest.

9.6 Acceptance of Prior Acts. Any person who becomes a Member, by becoming a Member, accepts, ratifies and agrees to be bound by all actions duly taken pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement by the Company or any of its members prior to the date such Person became a Member and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, specifically ratifies and approves all agreements and other instruments as may have been executed and delivered on behalf of the Company prior to said date and which are in force and effect on said date.

9.8 Restraining Order; Specific Performance; Other Remedies.

(a) If the Class B Member shall attempt (or any holder of a direct or indirect interest in the Class B Member attempts) to Transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Company in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Class A Member, in addition to all rights and remedies hereunder, at law and/or equity, shall be entitled to seek a decree or order restraining and enjoining such Transfer and the Class B Member shall not plead in defense thereto that there would be an adequate remedy at law; it being hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that damages at law shall be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach or violation of the provisions concerning Transfers set forth in this Agreement.

(b) It is expressly agreed that the remedy at law for breach of any of the obligations relating to Transfers set forth in this Article 9 and elsewhere in this Agreement is inadequate in view of:

(1) The complexities and uncertainties in measuring the actual damages that would be sustained by reason of the failure of a party to comply fully with each of said obligations; and

(2) The uniqueness of each Member’s business and assets and the relationship of the Members.

Accordingly, each of the aforesaid obligations shall be, and is hereby expressly made, enforceable by specific performance.

10.1 Dissolution.

12.10 Arbitration.

(a) Arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association shall be the exclusive method for resolution of any claims or disputes arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement or the breach thereof, and the determination of the arbitrators shall be final and binding (except to the extent there exist grounds for vacation or an award under applicable arbitration statutes) on the Members. The parties agree that they will give conclusive effect to the arbitrators’ determination and award and that judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive damages or any other damage not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages, and may not, in any event, make any ruling, finding or award that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

In that case, Section 3.5 or this Section 12.10, as applicable, shall be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it valid or enforceable within the requirements of the Delaware Arbitration Act or other applicable law, and, in the even such term or provision cannot be so limited, Section 3.5 or Section 12.10, as applicable, shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provision.

12.11 Partition.

12.13 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs and legal assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, except as otherwise provided herein, their respective successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs and legal assigns. No Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors, executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs and permitted assigns shall have any rights or claims under this Agreement.

12.15 Waivers. No waiver of any provision hereof by any party hereto shall be deemed a waiver by any other party nor shall any such waiver by any party be deemed a continuing waiver of any matter by such party.

12.16 No Brokers. Each of the Members hereto warrant to each other that there are no brokerage commissions or finders’ fees (or any basis therefor) resulting from any action taken by such Member or any Person acting or purporting to act on their behalf upon entering into this Agreement. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each other Member for all costs, damages or other expenses arising out of any misrepresentation made in this Section 12.16.
