In no event, however, shall funds be advanced or borrowed for purpose of Distributions, if the amount of such Distributions would exceed the Company’s accrued and received revenues for the previous four (4) quarters, less paid and accrued operating costs with respect to such revenues and costs shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. Cash Distributions from the Company to the Sponsor shall only be made in conjunction with Distributions to Members and only out of funds properly allocated to the Sponsor’s account. The Board of Managers shall cause the Company to set aside adequate reserves for normal replacements and contingencies (but not for the payment of fees payable to the Advisor). The Company shall make Distributions to the Members pursuant to this Section 9.2 as follows:

(b)

(i) First, Company NAV shall be determined pursuant to this Agreement and Distributions shall be allocated among the Class A Units, the Class C Units, the Class I Units, the Class W Units and the Class Y Units (as well as any subsequently authorized Class) pro rata in proportion to the Relative NAV of each Class;

(ii) Second, the Distributions allocable to any given Class pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) shall be allocated and distributed among the respective holders of Units of such Class pro rata based on their Percentage Interests of such Class with (A) the amount of the distribution fee payable by the Company with respect to Class C Units and Class W Units being deducted from the Distributions available to each of these Classes of Units, respectively, pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i); (B) the amount of the annual dealer manager fee payable by the Company with respect to Class I Units being deducted from the Distributions available to Class I Units pursuant

A-17

NY 246441987v4

to Section 9.2(b)(i); and (C) the amount of the annual service fee payable by the Company with respect to the Class W Units being deducted from the Distributions available to Class W Units pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i); all as reserved by the Company for payment or paid by the Company to the Dealer Manager, which amounts shall be deemed distributed to holders of the specified Class of Units.

(c) The Company will make no Distributions of in-kind property except for Distributions of readily marketable securities, distributions of beneficial interests in a liquidating trust established for the dissolution of the Company or Distributions in connection with the liquidation of the Assets in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unless: (i) the Board of Managers advises each Member of the risks associated with direct ownership of the property, (ii) the Board of Managers offers each Member the election of receiving in-kind property Distributions, and (iii) the Company distributes in-kind property only to those Members who accept such offer by the Board of Managers.

Section 9.3. Form of Distribution. A Member, regardless of the nature of the Member’s Capital Contribution, has no right to demand and receive any distribution from the Company in any form other than money.

Section 9.4. Allocation of Profit and Loss. For each fiscal year of the Company, after adjusting each Member’s Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions during such fiscal year and all special allocations pursuant to Section 9.5 with respect to such fiscal year, all Profits and Losses (including special allocations of distribution fees and other than Profits and Losses specially allocated pursuant to Section 9.5) shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in a manner such that, as of the end of such fiscal year, the Capital Account of each Member (which may be either a positive or negative balance) shall be equal to the amount which would be distributed to such Member if the Company were to liquidate all of its assets for the Book Value thereof and distributed the proceeds thereof pursuant to the order of priorities set forth in Section 9.2(b) hereof.

Section 9.5. Special Allocations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.4:

(i) Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members, pro rata in proportion to the Relative NAV of each Unit. If there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g) (subject to the exceptions thereunder). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f)(6). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain during any Taxable Year, each Member that has a share of such Member Minimum Gain shall be specially allocated items of taxable income or gain for such Taxable Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Taxable Years) in an amount equal to that Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain (subject to the exceptions thereunder). Items to be allocated pursuant to this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This paragraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of taxable income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the adjusted capital account deficit (determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as quickly as possible. This paragraph is intended to comply with the qualified income offset requirements in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iv) No allocation of Loss shall be made pursuant to Section 9.4 to the extent that it causes or increases a deficit balance in any Member’s Adjusted Capital Account. To the extent any allocation of Loss would cause the Adjusted Capital Account balance of any of the Members to have a deficit balance, such Loss shall be allocated to the Members with positive balances in their Adjusted Capital Accounts in proportion with such relative positive Adjusted Capital Account balances.

(v) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 9.5 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account

A-18

NY 246441987v4

in allocating Profits and Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Profits and Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations (including Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are expected to be made in the future) to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

Section 9.6. Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to Sections 9.2(b)(ii) or 9.11 from any distribution to a Member shall be treated as amounts distributed to such Member pursuant to Section 9.2 for all purposes under
this Agreement.

Section 9.7. Tax Allocations: Code Section 704(c).

(i) The income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the Company’s subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses shall be allocated among the Members so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocations set forth herein in computing their
Capital Accounts.

(ii) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution using any reasonable method (including the “Traditional Method”) provided for in the Treasury Regulations as selected by the Managers in their sole
and discretion.

(iii) If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 8.5, subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, deduction and expense with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Board of Managers in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 9.7 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items or Distributions pursuant to any provisions of
this Agreement.

Section 9.8. Preparation of Tax Returns. The Board of Managers shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Company income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Company for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable effort to furnish the tax information reasonably required by Members for federal and state income tax reporting purposes pursuant to Section 13.3.

Section 9.9. Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Board of Managers shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code. The Board of Managers shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election upon the Board of Manager’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Members.

Section 9.10. Tax Matters.

(a) The Board of Managers is authorized, but not required:

(i) to enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Company items (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”);

(ii) to seek judicial review of any adjustment with the United States Tax Court or the United States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Company’s principal place of business is located;

(iii) to enter into an agreement with the Internal Revenue Service to extend the period for assessing any tax; and

A-19

NY 246441987v4

(iv) to take any other action on behalf of the Company in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the Board of Managers in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the Board of Managers and the indemnification provisions set forth in Article XVII, hereof shall be fully applicable with respect to such actions.

Section 9.11. Withholding. Each Member hereby authorizes the Company to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Member any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Board of Managers determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Company is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Company pursuant to sections 1441, 1442 or 1445 of the Code.

(a) No Member shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any part of his Membership Interest or Economic Interest if said transfer or assignment, when considered with all other transfers during the same applicable twelve (12) month period, would, in the opinion of the Board of Managers, result in the termination of the Company’s status as a partnership for federal or state income tax purposes.

(b) No Member shall make any transfer or assignment of all or any of his Membership Interest or Economic Interest if the Managers determine such transfer or assignment would result in the Company being classified as an association taxable as a corporation or a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code (determined without reference to Code Section 469(i)) or any rules, regulations or safe-harbor guidelines promulgated thereunder.

fiduciary duty.

If and when such reports are not required to be filed, each Member will be furnished (in a form and manner consistent with then-current requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission), within sixty (60) days after the end of the first six (6) months of the Company’s fiscal year, an unaudited financial report for that period including a balance sheet, a statement of income, a statement of members’ equity and a cash flow statement.

(a) The Board of Managers shall review and evaluate the qualifications of the Advisor before entering into, and shall evaluate the performance of the Advisor before renewing, an Advisory Agreement and the criteria used in such evaluation shall be reflected in the minutes of meetings of the Board of Managers. All agreements between the Advisor and the Company must be approved by a majority of the Independent Managers. The Board of Managers may exercise broad discretion in allowing the Advisor to administer and regulate the operations of the Company, to act as agent for the Company, to execute documents on behalf of the Company and to make executive decisions that conform to general policies and principles established by the Board of Managers. The Board of Managers shall monitor the Advisor to assure that the administrative procedures, operations and programs of the Company are in the best interests of the Members and are fulfilled

and that (i) the expenses incurred are reasonable in light of the investment performance of the Company, its net assets and net income, (ii) all Front End Fees shall be reasonable and shall not exceed eighteen percent (18%) of the Gross Proceeds of any offering, regardless of the source of payment, and (iii) the percentage of Gross Proceeds of any offering committed to Investment in Company Assets shall be at least eighty-two percent (82%). All items of compensation to underwriters or dealers, including, but not limited to, selling commissions, expenses, rights of first refusal, consulting fees, finders’ fees and all other items of compensation of any kind or description paid by the Company, directly or indirectly, shall be taken into consideration in computing the amount of allowable Front End Fees.

(b) The Board of Managers is responsible for determining that compensation paid to the Advisor is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and the investment performance of the Company and that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement entered into with the Advisor (the “Advisory Agreement”) are being carried out. All agreements between the Advisor and the Company must be approved by a majority of the Independent Managers. The Board of Managers may consider all factors that they deem relevant in making these determinations.

Section 14.3. Fiduciary Obligations. Any investment advisory agreement with the Advisor shall provide that the Advisor has a fiduciary responsibility to the Company and to the Members.

Section 14.4. Termination. The Advisor may not voluntarily withdraw from the Company without one hundred and twenty (120) days prior written notice.

Upon termination of the Advisory Agreement, the Company may be required to pay to the terminated Advisor all amounts then accrued and owing.

Section 14.5. Organization and Offering Expenses Limitation. Unless otherwise provided in any resolution adopted by the Board of Managers, the Company shall reimburse the Advisor and its Affiliates for Organization and Offering Expenses incurred by the Advisor or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the total amount of all Organization and Offering Expenses shall be reasonable and shall be included in Front End Fees for purposes of the limit on such Front End Fees set forth in Section 14.2.

Section 14.6. Reimbursement for Operating Expenses.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in any resolution adopted by the Board of Managers, and subject to Section 14.6(b) below, the Company may reimburse the Advisor or its Affiliates, at the end of each fiscal quarter, for goods and services, including, but not limited to, impact monitoring services and Acquisition Expenses. The Advisor may be reimbursed for the administrative services necessary to the prudent operation of the Company; provided, the reimbursement shall be the lower of the Advisor’s actual cost or the amount the Company would be required to pay Persons other than the Advisor’s Affiliates for comparable administrative services in the same geographic location; and provided, further, that such costs are reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other method conforming with generally accepted accounting principles. Except as otherwise provided herein, no reimbursement shall be permitted for services for which the Advisor is entitled to compensation by way of a
separate fee.

(b) Excluded from the allowable reimbursement shall be: (i) rent or depreciation, utilities, capital equipment and similar items; and (ii) salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and similar items incurred or allocated to any controlling person of the Advisor. For purposes of this Section 14.6, “controlling person” means persons with responsibilities similar to those of an executive, or a member of the Board of Managers, or any person who holds more than ten percent (10%) of the Advisor’s equity securities or who has the power to control the Advisor.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

Section 15.1. Review of Policies. The Independent Managers shall review the investment and borrowing policies of the Company with sufficient frequency (and, upon Commencement of the Initial Public Offering, at least annually) to determine that the policies being followed by the Company at any time are in the best interests of its Members.

A-26

NY 246441987v4

Section 15.2. Certain Permitted Investments. Until such time as the Units are Listed, the Company may invest in Joint Ventures with an Affiliated Person if a majority of Managers (including a majority of Independent Managers) not otherwise interested in the transaction, approve such investment as being fair and reasonable to the Company and on terms substantially similar to the terms of third parties making comparable investments.

Section 15.3. Reinvestment of Proceeds. Reinvestment of proceeds resulting from the sale or refinancing of a Company Asset may take place if sufficient cash will be distributed to pay federal income tax, if any (assuming investors are in a specified tax bracket) created by the sale or refinancing of such Asset. To the extent that any cash available for distribution is reinvested, such reinvested cash shall not be considered “investments” in the Company for the purposes of calculating
Capital Contributions.

Section 15.4. Investments in Other Programs

(a) The Company shall not invest in general partnerships or joint ventures with non-Affiliates that own and operate specific assets, unless the Company, alone or together with any publicly registered Affiliate of the Company meeting the requirements of subsection (b) below, acquires a controlling interest in such a general partnership or joint venture, but in no event shall the Advisor be entitled to duplicate fees; provided, however that the foregoing is not intended to prevent the Company from investing and reinvesting its assets in securities of other issuers. For purposes of this Section 15.4, “controlling interest” means an equity interest possessing the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the general partnership or joint venture, including the authority to: (i) review all contracts entered into by the general partnership or joint venture that will have a material effect on its business or assets; (ii) cause a sale or refinancing of the assets or its interest therein subject, in certain cases where required by the partnership or joint venture agreement, to limits as to time, minimum amounts and/or a right of first refusal by the joint venture partner or consent of the joint venture partner; (iii) approve budgets and major capital expenditures, subject to a stated minimum amount; (iv) veto any sale or refinancing of the assets, or alternatively, to receive a specified preference on sale or refinancing proceeds; and (v) exercise a right of first refusal on any desired sale or refinancing by the joint venture partner of its interest in the assets, except for transfer to an Affiliate of the joint venture partner.

(b) The Company shall have the authority to invest in general partnerships or joint ventures with other publicly registered Affiliates of the Company if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the Affiliate and the Company have substantially identical investment objectives; (ii) there are no duplicate fees to the Advisor; (iii) the compensation payable by the general partnership or joint venture to the Advisor and the Sponsors of each Affiliate that invests in such partnership or joint venture is substantially identical; (iv) each of the Company and the Affiliate has a right of first refusal to buy if the other party wishes to sell assets held in the joint venture; (v) the investment of each of the Company and its Affiliate is on substantially the same terms and conditions; and (vi) any prospectus of the Company in use or proposed to be used when such an investment has been made or is contemplated discloses the potential risk of impasse on joint venture decisions since neither the Company nor its Affiliate controls the partnership or joint venture, and the potential risk that while a the Company or its Affiliate may have the right to buy the assets from the partnership or joint venture, it may not have the resources
to do so.

(c) The Company shall have the authority to invest in general partnerships or joint ventures with Affiliates other than publicly registered Affiliates of the Company only if all of the following conditions are met: (i) the investment is necessary to relieve the Advisor from any commitment to purchase the assets prior to the closing of the offering period of the Company; (ii) there are no duplicate fees to the Advisor; (iii) the investment of each entity is on substantially the same terms and conditions; (iv) the Company has a right of first refusal to buy if the Advisor wishes to sell assets held in the joint venture; and (v) any prospectus of the Company in use or proposed to be used when such an investment has been made or is contemplated discloses the potential risk of impasse on joint venture decisions.

(d) The Company may be structured to conduct operations through separate single-purpose entities managed by the Advisor (multi-tier arrangements); provided that the terms of any such arrangements do not result in the circumvention of any of the requirements or prohibitions contained herein. Any agreements regarding such arrangements shall accompany any prospectus of the Company, if such agreement is then available, and the terms of such agreement shall contain provisions assuring that all of the following restrictions apply: (i) there will be no duplication or increase in Organization and Offering Expenses, fees payable to the Advisor, program expenses or other fees and costs; (ii) there will be no substantive alteration in the fiduciary and contractual relationship between the Advisor, the Company and the Members and (iii) there will be no diminishment in the voting rights of the Members.

(e) Other than as specifically permitted in subsections (b), (c) and (d) above, the Company shall not invest in general partnerships or joint ventures with Affiliates.

(f) The Company shall be permitted to invest in general partnership interests of limited partnerships only if the Company, alone or together with any publicly registered Affiliate of the Company meeting the requirements of subsection (b) above, acquires a “controlling interest” as defined in subsection (a) above, the Advisor is not entitled to any duplicate fees, no additional compensation beyond that permitted under applicable law is paid to the Advisor, and the agreement of limited partnership or other applicable agreement complies with this Section 15.4.

The Company shall not purchase Assets from the Sponsor, the Advisor, the Managers or any of their Affiliates unless a majority of the Board of Managers (including a majority of the Independent Managers) not otherwise interested in the transaction determines that such transaction is fair and reasonable to the Company and at a price to the Company no greater than the cost of the Assets to the Advisor or its Affiliates or such Manager, unless there is substantial justification for any amount that exceeds such cost and such excess amount is determined to be reasonable. In no event shall the cost of such asset to the Company exceed its current appraised value.

Section 16.4. Sale of Assets to Affiliates. The Company shall not sell or lease Assets to the Sponsor, the Advisor, the Managers or any of their Affiliates without a determination by a majority of the Board of Managers (including a majority of the Independent Managers) not otherwise interested in the transaction, that such transaction is fair and reasonable to
the Company.

Section 16.5. Loans to Affiliates. Except for the advancement of funds pursuant to Section 17.3, no loans, credit facilities, credit agreements or otherwise shall be made by the Company to the Advisor or any Affiliate thereof.

The terms pursuant to which any goods or services, other than those services provided pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, are provided to the Company by the Advisor, shall be embodied in a written contract, the material terms of which must be fully disclosed to the Members.

Section 16.7. Exchange of Interests in the Company. The Company may not acquire Assets in exchange for Units or other indicia of ownership in the Company.

this Agreement.

(b) The Sponsor may only pay underwriting compensation to a registered broker-dealer or other properly licensed Person.

Section 16.11. Commingling. The funds of the Company shall not be commingled with the funds of any other Person; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Advisor from establishing a master fiduciary account pursuant to which separate subtrust accounts are established for the benefit of Affiliated Programs, if Company funds are protected from claims of such other Programs and/or creditors. The foregoing prohibition shall not apply to investments described in Section 15.2.

Section 16.12. Lending Practices. The Company may not borrow money from the Sponsor, the Advisor, the Managers, or any of their Affiliates, unless a majority of the Board of Managers (including a majority of Independent Managers) not otherwise interested in such transaction approve the transaction as being fair, competitive, and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company than loans between unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances.

Section 16.13. No Permanent Financing. The Advisor shall be prohibited from providing permanent financing for the Company. For purposes of this Section 16.13, “permanent financing” shall mean any financing with a term in excess
of 12 months.

(d) which includes provisions that would operate as a material impediment to, or frustration of, the accumulation of Units by any purchaser of the securities of the Roll-Up Entity (except to the minimum extent necessary to preserve the tax status of the Roll-Up Entity), or which would limit the ability of an investor to exercise the voting rights of its securities of the Roll-Up Entity on the basis of the number of Units held by that investor;

(e) in which investor’s rights to access of records of the Roll-Up Entity will be less than those required by the laws of the state in which the Roll-Up Entity was formed; or
