against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs of investigation, fines, judgments and amounts paid in settlement,
14
actually incurred by any such Member in connection with such action, suit or
proceeding) by virtue of its status as Members or with respect to any action or
omission taken or suffered in good faith, other than liabilities and losses
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the such Member;
provided, however, that any such Member shall not be so indemnified for any acts
determined to be in contravention of this Agreement or in breach of its
fiduciary duties. The indemnification provided by this paragraph shall be
recoverable only out of the assets of the Company, and no Member shall have any
personal liability on account thereof.
Section 3.3 Sale Event; ROFO; CSL Call Right.(b) (a) During
the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on June 13, 2005 (the
"Lockout Period") the Company shall be authorized to enter into or complete a
Sale Event solely with the prior written consent of all of the Members.
(b) After the expiration of the Lock-out Period, Blackstone
Member (the "Triggering Party") may give written notice (the "ROFO Sale Notice")
to CSL Member (the "Responding Party") stating that the Triggering Party desires
to enter into a Sale Event with respect to one or more Properties designated in
such ROFO Sale Notice (the "Relevant Properties") and a statement of intent to
rely upon this Section 3.3(b). At the time of the ROFO Sale Notice, no
definitive Sale Event need be proposed.
(i) At any time within the 30-day period (the "ROFO
Offer Period") after receipt of the ROFO Sale Notice, the
Responding Party may give the Triggering Party a written
notice (a "ROFO Offer To Purchase") which shall set forth a
valuation stating (A) the aggregate dollar amount (with no
reduction for the Property Loans) which the Responding Party
as a third party would be willing to pay for the Relevant
Properties (the "ROFO Purchase Price") including an allocation
of all transaction expenses which would be paid for by the
Responding Party, including, prepayment premiums and expenses
if applicable ("Transaction Expenses") and (B) whether the
Responding Party seeks to assume the Property Loans secured by
the Relevant Properties.
(ii) At any time within the 30-day period (the "ROFO
Response Period") after receipt of the ROFO Offer To Purchase,
the Triggering Party, in its discretion shall either
(A) give the Responding Party written notice
(the "ROFO Acceptance Notice") advising the
Responding Party that the Triggering Party desires
the Company to consummate (or to cause the applicable
Property Entity to consummate) a sale of the Relevant
Properties to the Responding Party, without
representation or warranty of any kind other than as
to the ownership of such interests, free and clear of
any liens and security interests; or
15
(B) give the Responding Party written notice
(the "ROFO Rejection Notice") advising the Responding
Party that the Triggering Party has rejected the ROFO
Offer To Purchase.
If the Triggering Party fails to give a ROFO Acceptance Notice or a ROFO
Rejection Notice prior to the expiration of the ROFO Response Period, then the
Triggering Party shall be deemed to have given a ROFO Rejection Notice as of the
date of expiration of the ROFO Response Period.
(iii) If the ROFO Acceptance Notice is delivered to
the Responding Party, the Responding Party shall, within 30
days thereafter deliver to the Triggering Party a
non-refundable deposit (the "ROFO Deposit") toward the
purchase price to be paid by the Responding Party in respect
thereof in an amount equal to 5% of the ROFO Purchase Price,
which ROFO Deposit shall be delivered in the form of certified
check or wire transfer of immediate funds.
(iv) Upon delivery of the ROFO Deposit to the
Triggering Party, the Triggering Party and the Responding
Party shall diligently proceed to complete a sale (the "ROFO
Closing") of the Relevant Properties within 60 days of such
required delivery, unless a longer period is required for
licensure requirements, which period shall not exceed 120 days
from the delivery of the ROFO Deposit (the "ROFO Outside
Closing Date") at an amount equal to the ROFO Purchase Price.
The ROFO Deposit shall be credited toward the ROFO Purchase
Price. The ROFO Closing shall take place at a location in New
York City as designated by Blackstone Member. At the ROFO
Closing, the Company, the appropriate Property Entities,
and/or the Triggering Party, as applicable, shall execute and
deliver to Responding Party the assignments of interest,
instruments of conveyance, and other instruments as the
Responding Party may reasonably require, to give it title to
the Relevant Properties or the respective Property Entities.
The Responding Party may elect to retain any Property Loan
secured by the Relevant Properties provided that (i) the
Triggering Party is released, if necessary, from any liability
in connection with such assumed Property Loan; (ii) the
Responding Party stated its intention to retain such Property
Loan in the ROFO Offer to Purchase; and (iii) the terms of
such Property Loan permit, or the holder of such Property Loan
permits, such assumption.
(v) If the ROFO Rejection Notice is delivered or
deemed delivered to the Responding Party, the Triggering Party
shall have the right, on behalf of the Company and the
Members, for a period ("ROFO Sale Period") of 120 days after
the date on which the ROFO Rejection Notice was received by
the Responding Party, to (A) cause a Sale Event with respect
to the Relevant Properties to be consummated for a purchase
price which provides to the Company Capital Proceeds equal to
more than the Capital Proceeds that would have resulted from a
sale to the Responding Party pursuant to the ROFO Offer to
16
Purchase (the "ROFO Minimum Sale Price") and on such other
non-economic terms as the Triggering Party may determine; (B)
cause a Sale Event with respect to the Relevant Properties to
be consummated with the Responding Party, if still agreeable
to the Responding Party at that time, for the ROFO Purchase
Price (with Transaction Expenses being allocated as stated in
the ROFO Offer to Purchase), or (C) withdraw the ROFO Sale
Notice. If the Triggering Party desires at any time during the
ROFO Sale Period to cause a Sale Event with respect to the
Relevant Properties to be consummated for a purchase price
which is less than the ROFO Minimum Sale Price, or desires to
cause a Sale Event with respect to the Relevant Properties to
be consummated at any time after the end of the ROFO Sale
Period, the provisions of this Section 3.3(b) shall be
repeated.
(vi) If (A) the Responding Party fails to send a ROFO
Offer To Purchase within the ROFO Offer Period or (B) if the
Responding Party fails to deliver the ROFO Deposit to the
Triggering Party within the specified period or fails to close
upon the purchase (the circumstances described in (A) and (B)
above, each being a "ROFO Default"), then the Responding Party
shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with
respect to the ROFO Sale Notice and shall, within five
Business Days of request by the Triggering Party, deliver a
certificate confirming such waiver (provided, however, that
failure by the Responding Party to deliver such certificate
shall not negate such waiver).
(vii) If a ROFO Default shall occur, CSL Member shall
not have any further rights under this Section 3.3(b) and
Blackstone Member may cause a Sale Event without the approval
or other rights of CSL Members and such Sale Event shall not
constitute a Major Action.
(c) (i) At any time after the Lock-out Period, CSL Member may
give written notice (the "CSL Call Notice") to Blackstone Member stating that
CSL Member desires to purchase the interests of Blackstone Member and stating
its intention to rely upon the provisions of this Section 3.3(c). The CSL Call
Notice shall state (A) an aggregate dollar amount CSL Member would be willing to
pay for all the assets of the Company (the "CSL Valuation Amount") including an
allocation of all Transaction Expenses which would be paid for by CSL Member,
and (B) whether CSL Member seeks to assume the Property Loans. The CSL Valuation
Amount (and taking into account the allocation of Transaction Expenses) shall
not be less than that required to provide Blackstone Member with a 21% Internal
Rate of Return.
(ii) At any time within the 30-day period (the "CSL
Call Offer Period") after receipt of the CSL Call Notice,
Blackstone Member, in its sole discretion shall either:
(A) give CSL Member written notice (the "CSL
Acceptance Notice") advising CSL Member that
Blackstone Member desires to consummate a sale of
Blackstone Member's interest in the Company to CSL
Member for the amount Blackstone Member would have
17
been entitled to receive if a Call Deemed Liquidation
occurred (the "CSL Purchase Price"); or
(B) give CSL Member written notice (the "CSL
Rejection Notice") (1) advising CSL Member that
Blackstone Member desires to acquire CSL Member's
interest in the Company for a purchase price equal to
the amount that CSL Member would have been entitled
to receive if a Call Deemed Liquidation occurred (the
"CSL Sale Price").
(iii) If the CSL Acceptance Notice is delivered to
CSL Member, CSL Member shall, within 30 days thereafter
deliver to Blackstone Member a non-refundable deposit toward
the purchase price to be paid by CSL Member in respect thereof
in an amount equal to 10% of the CSL Purchase Price (the "CSL
Purchase Deposit"), which CSL Purchase Deposit shall be
delivered in the form of certified check or wire transfer of
immediate funds. Upon delivery of the CSL Purchase Deposit,
Blackstone Member and CSL Member shall diligently proceed to
complete a sale (the "CSL Closing") of Blackstone Member's
interest in the Company within 60 days of such required
delivery at the CSL Purchase Price. The sale of Blackstone
Member's interest in the Company shall be without any
representations or warranties, except as to the ownership of
such interests, free and clear of any liens and security
interests. The CSL Purchase Deposit shall be credited toward
the CSL Purchase Price. The CSL Closing shall take place at a
location in New York City as designated by Blackstone Member.
At the CSL Closing, the Company and Blackstone Member, shall
execute and deliver to CSL Member the assignments of interest,
instruments of conveyance, and other instruments as CSL Member
may reasonably require, to give it title to all of Blackstone
Member's right, title and interest in and to the Company and
of the Company's right, title and interest in and to the
Property Entities. CSL Member may elect to retain any Property
Loan provided that (A) Blackstone Member is released or
indemnified by CSL Member (provided that the creditworthiness
of CSL Member is reasonably acceptable to Blackstone Member),
if necessary, from any liability in connection with such
assumed Property Loan, (B) CSL Member stated its intention to
retain such Property Loan in the CSL Call Notice, and (C) the
terms of such Property Loan permit or the holder of such loan
permits such an assumption.
(iv) If the CSL Rejection Notice is delivered to CSL
Member, Blackstone Member shall deliver to CSL Member a
deposit equal to 10% of the CSL Sale Price (the "Blackstone
Deposit") which Blackstone Deposit shall be delivered in the
form of certified check or wire transfer of immediate funds.
Upon delivery of the Blackstone Deposit, Blackstone Member and
CSL Member shall diligently proceed to complete a sale (the
"CSL Closing") of CSL Member's interest in the Company within
18
60 days of thereof at the CSL Sale Price. The Blackstone
Deposit shall be credited toward the CSL Sale Price. The sale
of CSL Member's interest in the Company shall be without any
representations or warranties except as to the ownership of
such interests, free and clear of any liens and security
interests. The CSL Closing shall take place at a location in
New York City as designated by Blackstone Member. At the CSL
Closing, the Company and CSL Member, shall execute and deliver
to CSL Member the assignments of interest, instruments of
conveyance, and other instruments as Blackstone Member may
reasonably require, to give them title to all of CSL Member's
right, title and interest in and to the Company, and of the
Company's right, title and interest in and to the Property
Entities. Blackstone Member may elect to retain any Property
Loan provided that (A) CSL Member is released or indemnified
by Blackstone member, if necessary, from any liability in
connection with such assumed Property Loan and (B) and the
terms of such Property Loan permit, or the holder of such loan
permits such an assumption.
(d) Blackstone Member and CSL Member, shall pay their own
legal fees in connection with any sale of Interests or interests in one of the
Property Entities to the other Member(s) pursuant to this Section 3.3. All
transfer, stamp and recording taxes in connection with any such sale shall be
paid as specified in the CSL Call Notice.
(e) Remedies available for breach of obligations under Section
3.3 shall be, except as specified in Section 3.3(g), limited to the retention of
the Blackstone Deposit or the CSL Deposit, as the case may be, as liquidated
damages.
(f) Time is of the essence with respect to each and every time
period set forth in the Section 3.3.
(g) If after delivering a CSL Call Notice, CSL Member defaults
in any of its obligations set forth above, CSL Member shall thereafter have no
further right to deliver a CSL Call Notice or to otherwise invoke the provisions
of Section 3.3(c).
ARTICLE IV
Other Activities Permitted
Except as expressly provided hereunder, this Agreement shall
not be construed in any manner to preclude any Member or any of its Affiliates
from engaging in any activity whatsoever permitted by applicable law (whether or
not such activity might compete, or constitute a conflict of interest, with the
Company), including, without limitation, the provision of financial or
investment advisory services to any person, managing investments or receiving
compensation or profit from any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE V
Capital Contributions; Distributions
Section 5.1 Initial Capital Contributions. In accordance with
the Contribution Agreement Capital Senior Living A, Inc. contributed the
Properties to the Company and Blackstone Member contributed cash to the Company
in the amount set forth as the Cash Contribution in the Contribution Agreement
(the "Initial Capital Contributions").
Section 5.2 Subsequent Fundings. (a) In addition to the
Initial Capital Contributions set forth in Section 5.1, in the event it is
determined by Blackstone Member that funds in excess of the Initial Capital
Contributions, are required (i) in connection with any of the purposes set forth
in Section 2.5, (ii) to pay for fees, costs or expenses payable by the Company
pursuant to this Agreement or (iii) otherwise to meet the Company's then
existing obligations and, in each case, funds are not otherwise available from
Company revenues, within 10 Business Days after notice from Blackstone Member,
each of the Members shall make further Capital Contributions pro rata in
accordance with their respective Sharing Percentages, which amounts shall be set
forth in the books and records of the Company.
(b) No Member shall be required to make a Capital Contribution
except as provided in this Article V. No Member shall have any obligation to
restore any negative balance in the Member's Capital Account upon liquidation of
the Company or the liquidation of a Member's interest in the Company. No Member
shall be entitled to withdraw all or any part of its Capital Contributions
except as expressly provided in this Agreement. No interest shall be payable by
the Company on the Capital Contributions of any Member except as otherwise
provided herein. In no event shall any Member be entitled to demand any property
from the Company other than cash.
Section 5.3 Member Loans for Failure to Fund Capital
Contribution. If any Member shall fail to timely make a Capital Contribution
required pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 5.2 (such Member is hereinafter
referred to as a "Non-Contributing Member") and such default is not cured within
10 Business Days of the written due date for such Capital Contribution, then any
other Member (a "Contributing Member") may fund all or part of such Capital
Contribution and, unless the Contributing Member otherwise elected the remedy of
the dilution of such Non-Contributing Member's Interest in the Company, as set
forth in Section 5.4 below, any amounts funded by a Contributing Member on
behalf of a Non-Contributing Member shall be made directly to the Company but
shall be treated as (i) a non-recourse demand loan (except to the extent of the
Non-Contributing Member's interest in the Company) made by the Contributing
Member to the Non-Contributing Member (bearing interest at a rate of 18% per
annum, but in no event in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable
law), in each case with interest compounding annually, followed by (ii) a
Capital Contribution (a "Default Capital Contribution") by such Non-Contributing
Member to the Company. Any such non-recourse loan shall be repaid directly by
the Company on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member to the Contributing Member
20
only from Non-Capital Proceeds and Capital Proceeds otherwise distributable to
the Non-Contributing Member. Amounts paid directly by the Company to the
Contributing Member on account of the loan shall be deemed distributions to the
Non-Contributing Member. Any Non-Capital Proceeds and Capital Proceeds used to
repay such loan shall be applied first to interest on and then to principal of
such loan.
Section 5.4 Dilution for Failure to Fund Capital. (a) If a
Non-Contributing Member fails to contribute any amounts required to be
contributed pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 5.2 above as and when required
to be contributed and such funds are contributed to the Company by a
Contributing Member, the Non-Contributing Member's Sharing Percentage shall be,
if the Contributing Member elects to apply the provisions of this Section in
lieu of the loan mechanism provided in Section 5.3, adjusted pursuant to Section
5.4(b) below as of the day on which the Contributing Member contributes such
funds. In such an event the contribution of such funds shall be treated as a
Capital Contribution to the Company by the Contributing Member.
(b) The Sharing Percentage of a Non-Contributing Member may be
reduced (but not below zero and subject to any restrictions in a Property Loan),
upon the election described in paragraph (a) above, by an amount equal to the
product of (i) 1.5 times (ii) a fraction expressed as a percentage, (A) the
numerator of which is the amount of the Capital Contribution which such
Non-Contributing Member fails to contribute and (B) the denominator of which is
the aggregate of the Capital Contributions made or to be made by the Members up
to and including such time, including the Capital Contribution which such
Non-Contributing Member fails to make. The Sharing Percentage of the
Contributing Member shall be increased by the amount of the reduction in the
Sharing Percentage of the Non-Contributing Member. In the event of an adjustment
of the Sharing Percentages as a result of this Section 5.4(b), the Capital
Accounts of the Members shall be readjusted such that the total capital of the
Company is allocated amongst the Members in accordance with their Sharing
Percentages, as so adjusted under this Section 5.4(b).
Section 5.5 Distributions Generally . (a) The principal amount
of the Initial Financing and the Initial Capital Contribution of Blackstone
Member shall be applied by the Company first, to repay in full the principal
amount, accrued interest and other amounts in respect of any financing that the
Company or any Property Owner is taking subject to pursuant to the Contribution
Agreement (the "Existing Financing"), second, to pay for Transaction Expenses
(as defined in the Contribution Agreement), third to fund reserves required by
the lender under the Initial Financing and the balance shall be distributed to
CSL Member. CSL Member represents that the outstanding principal balance plus
all accrued interest on the Existing Financing is approximately $29,000,000.
Except as otherwise specifically required by this Section 5.5 and except as
otherwise provided in Sections 5.6(c) and 5.6(d), distributions shall be made in
such amounts and at such times as determined by Blackstone Member from time to
time. Capital Proceeds (other than distributions of Capital Proceeds in
connection with the sale of all of the assets of the Company) shall be
distributed as soon as practicable but in any event within 45 days after the
date that such Proceeds are received by the Company. Non-Capital Proceeds shall
be distributed at such times and intervals as determined by Blackstone Member,
21
but in no event later than 30 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The
Company shall make such distributions in cash among the Members in accordance
with this Article V.
Section 5.6 (a) Distribution of Proceeds. Distribution of
Non-Capital Proceeds shall be made to the Members in accordance with their
Sharing Percentages. Distributions of Capital Proceeds (other than in connection
with the liquidation of the Company which shall be governed by Section 7.3)
shall be made to the Members as follows:
(i) to the Members in accordance with their Sharing
Percentages until the Members shall have received a 20%
Internal Rate of Return;
(ii) thereafter, 80% to the Members in accordance
with their Sharing Percentages and 20% to CSL Member, until
Blackstone Member shall have received a 25% Internal Rate of
Return;
(iii) thereafter, 75% to the Members in accordance
with their Sharing Percentages and 25% to CSL Member.
(b) Cash Flow Support. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that Blackstone Member's
allocable share of Non-Capital Proceeds from the Properties for any Fiscal Year
shown on Schedule 5.6(b), computed on a quarterly basis, is less than the amount
set forth under the caption "Minimum Cash Flow" on Schedule 5.6(b) attached
hereto for such quarter (the "Blackstone Minimum Net Cash Flow Amount"),
Non-Capital Proceeds otherwise distributable to CSL Member with respect to the
Properties and the management fees in excess of a 2.5% of revenues otherwise
payable to the Manager under the Management Agreements with respect to the
Properties ("CSL Properties Available Cash Flow") shall instead be paid
quarterly to Blackstone Member until Blackstone Member has received the
Blackstone Minimum Net Cash Flow Amount for such quarter. Blackstone Member
shall have the sole authority on behalf of the Company to make such payments to
Blackstone Member. Shortfalls of the Blackstone Minimum Net Cash Flow Amount
shall accrue at an interest rate per annum of 18% per annum and be payable out
of CSL Properties Available Cash Flow in future periods.
(ii) If (a) CSL has in any period paid to Blackstone Member a
shortfall of the Blackstone Minimum Net Cash Flow Amount, and (b) in any
subsequent period, Blackstone Member's allocable share of Non-Capital Proceeds
from the Properties is greater than (x) the Blackstone Minimum Net Cash Flow
Amount for such future period plus (y) any accrued shortfall (included accrued
interest thereon) of the Blackstone Minimum Net Cash Flow Amount payable by the
CSL Member for prior periods, then such excess of Non-Capital Proceeds otherwise
distributable to Blackstone Member with respect to the Properties shall instead
be paid quarterly to CSL Member until CSL Member shall have received an amount
equal to the total amount of CSL Properties Available Cash Flow theretofore paid
to Blackstone Member pursuant to Section 5 6(c)(i) (the "CSL Cash Flow Support
Amount"). In the event that the CSL Cash Flow Support Amount has not been repaid
to CSL, then upon a Sale Event relating to any of the Properties the Capital
22
Proceeds therefrom in excess of the Minimum Capital Proceeds Amount (as
hereinafter defined) shall be payable to CSL Member to the extent of any
outstanding CSL Cash Flow Support Amount.
(c) Capital Proceeds Support. After a Sale Event related to
all of the remaining Properties owned directly or indirectly by the Company, if
the aggregate Capital Proceeds received by the Company attributable to such Sale
Event is less than the amount necessary for the Blackstone Member to achieve an
18% Internal Rate of Return (the "Minimum Capital Proceeds Amount"),
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Capital
Proceeds attributable to such Sale Event and otherwise distributable to CSL
Member shall be paid to Blackstone Member until Blackstone Member has received
Capital Proceeds that would result in an 18% Internal Rate of Return to
Blackstone Member. If a Sale Event is consummated for less than all of the
remaining Properties owned directly or indirectly by the Company, Blackstone
Member shall have the right to cause the Capital Proceeds otherwise
distributable to CSL Member from such Sale Event (less the portion of such
Capital Proceeds necessary to pay income taxes payable by CSL Member on such
Sale Event) to be deposited into an account controlled by Blackstone Member (the
"Support Escrow"). The Support Escrow, together with the Capital Proceeds
allocable to CSL Member from a Sale Event relating to the remaining Properties,
shall be first used to pay the Minimum Capital Proceeds Amount to Blackstone
Member, with any excess being paid to CSL Member.
Section 5.7 Restricted Payments. Notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a
distribution if such distribution would violate the Act.
Section 5.8 Reimbursement of Expenses; Acquisition Fee. (a)
Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company, to the extent it does
not pay such costs and expenses directly, will reimburse Blackstone Member for
all third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred prior to the execution
of this Agreement in connection with the pursuit of the acquisition of the
Properties, and will reimburse CSL Member for the $32,000 lender application fee
and deposit made for the contemplated initial financing of the Properties,
provided however that Blackstone Member and CSL Member shall each be responsible
for their own attorney's fees and expenses in connection with the formation of
the Company.
(b) The Company shall pay to the Members (or a designee of a
Member) in connection with the refinancing of the Properties a fee in an
aggregate amount equal to 1% of the Agreed Value (as defined in the Contribution
Agreement) of the Properties (the "Refinancing Fee"), which Refinancing Fee
shall be shared by the Members in accordance with the Sharing Percentages of the
Members.
(c) Each of the Members shall be responsible for its own
formation and organizational expenses with respect to the entities constituting
each of the Members.
23

judgment required to be made for accounting and tax purposes under this
Agreement shall be made by or under the direction of the Blackstone and shall be
conclusive and binding on all Members, former Members, their successors or legal
representatives and any other person except for computational errors or fraud,
and to the fullest extent permitted by law no such person shall have the right
to an accounting or an appraisal of the assets of the Company or any successor
thereto except for computational errors or fraud. The foregoing shall not limit
the right of CSL Member to dispute in good faith the amount of the distributions
due to CSL Member calculated by Blackstone Member.
(e) If approved by Blackstone Member or CSL Member, the books
of the Company shall be examined, certified and audited as of the end of a
Fiscal Year, by a recognized firm of independent certified public accountants.
For each Fiscal Year of the Company that Blackstone Member or CSL Members have
so approved an audit, such accountants shall determine and prepare full
financial statements, including, without limitation, a balance sheet, an income
statement, a statement of changes in financial position and a statement of the
Non-Capital Proceeds and Capital Proceeds of the Company. The Tax Matters Member
shall promptly upon receipt of any such financial statements transmit copies

Tax Matters Member shall have all of the rights, duties, powers and obligations
provided for in Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code with respect to the
Company.
Section 6.3 Capital Accounts. There shall be established for
each Member on the books of the Company as of the date hereof, or such later
date on which such Member is admitted to the Company, a capital account (each

parenthetical in Section 5.6(a)) if the Company was dissolved, its affairs wound
up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all Company
liabilities (including liabilities allocated to the Company from an entity
treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes in which the
Company was a Member) were satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse
liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability) and the
net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with distributions of
Capital Proceeds under Section 5.6 (without regard to the parenthetical in
Section 5.6(a))to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus
(ii) such Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an allocation of Net Loss to the Members is in
excess of amounts of Net Income previously allocated to the Members in a ratio
other than their Sharing Percentages, then such allocation of Net Loss shall
instead be made to the Members in accordance with their respective Sharing
Percentages. This provision is intended to comply with the "fractions rule" and
"substantial economic effect" rules described in section 514(c)(9)(E) of the
Code and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Net Income
(Loss) and any items described in Section 6.5 shall be allocated among the
Members only to the extent such allocation would not violate such rules.
Section 6.5 Special Allocations.(a) (a) Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 6.4, net income, net gain, and net loss of the Company (or
items of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit, as the case may be) shall be
allocated in accordance with the following provisions of this Section 6.5 to the
extent such provisions shall be applicable. If any Member unexpectedly receives
any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in paragraphs
(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of Section 1.704-1 of the regulations under the
Code, there shall be specially allocated to such Member such items of Company
income and gain, at such times and in such amounts as will eliminate as quickly
as possible that portion of any deficit in its Capital Account caused or
increased by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. To the extent
permitted by the Code and the regulations thereunder, any special allocations of
items of income or gain pursuant to this Section 6.5(a) shall be taken into
account in computing subsequent allocations of Net Income (Loss) pursuant to
this Section 6.5(a) so that the net amount of any items so allocated and the
subsequent allocations of Net Income (Loss) to the Members pursuant to this
Section 6.5(a) shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amounts that
would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 6.5(a) if such unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions had
not occurred.
26
(b) Nonrecourse Deductions of the Company for any Fiscal Year
shall be specially allocated to the Members in the same proportion as Net Income
or Net Loss is allocated for such Fiscal Year. Member Nonrecourse Deductions of
the Company for any Fiscal Year shall be specially allocated to the Member who
bears the economic risk of loss for the liability in question. The provisions of
this Section 6.5(b) are intended to satisfy the requirements of Regulations
sections 1.704-2(e)(2) and 1.704-2(i)(1) and shall be interpreted in accordance
therewith for all purposes under this Agreement.
(c) If there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain of the
Company during any Company Fiscal Year, each Member shall be specially allocated
items of Company income and gain for such year equal to that Member's share of
the net decrease in Minimum Gain, within the meaning of Regulations section
1.704-2(g)(2). The provisions of this Section 6.5(c) are intended to comply with
the Minimum Gain chargeback requirements of Regulations section 1.704-2(f) and
shall be interpreted in accordance therewith for all purposes under this
Agreement.
(d) If there is a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Member that has a share of such
partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations
section 1.704-2(i)(5), as of the beginning of such year shall be specially
allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for
succeeding years) equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Member
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. The provisions of this Section 6.5(d) are
intended to comply with the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain chargeback
requirement of Regulations section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted in
accordance therewith for all purposes under this Agreement.
(e) All items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of
the Company shall be allocated among the Members for Federal, state and local
income tax purposes consistent with the manner that the corresponding
constituent items of Net Income (Loss) shall be allocated among the Members
pursuant to this Agreement, except as may otherwise be provided herein or by the
Code. To the extent Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant to Subchapter K of
the Code (including under Sections 704(b) and (c) of the Code) require
allocations for tax purposes that differ from the foregoing allocations, the Tax
Matters Member shall determine the manner in which such tax allocations shall be
made so as to comply more fully with such Treasury Regulations or other
applicable law and, at the same time to the extent reasonably possible, preserve
the economic relationships among the Members as set forth in this Agreement.

Transfer of Member's Interests; Rights of First Refusal
Section 8.1 Restrictions on Transfer of Company Interests. (a) Subject to
Section 3.3 hereof, no Member may, directly or indirectly, assign, sell,
exchange, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of all or any part
of its interest in the Company (any assignment, sale, exchange, transfer,
28
pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of an interest in the Company being
herein collectively called a "Transfer") to any person, other than in accordance
with paragraph (b) below.
(b) Blackstone Member may Transfer all or part of their
respective interest in the Company (i) (A) to any Person provided that after
giving effect to such Transfer, BREA continues to control the Company, (B) to an
Affiliate of BREA, or (C) to a Permitted Transferee, in each case without
obtaining the prior consent of CSL Member or (ii) to any other person to the
extent such Transfer does not comply with clause (i) upon obtaining the prior
consent of CSL Member. CSL Member may Transfer all or part of its interest in
the Company (i) to a CSL Member Affiliate, (ii) to a Permitted Transferee, in
the case of either (i) or (ii) without obtaining the prior consent of Blackstone
Member or (iii) to any other person upon obtaining the prior consent of
Blackstone Member. Upon any Transfer of a Member's interest in accordance with
this subsection, the person (the "Transferee") to whom the Member's interest was
Transferred shall be admitted as a Member upon the Transferee's written
acceptance and adoption of all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
Section 8.2 Other Transfer Provisions. (a) Any purported
Transfer by a Member of all or any part of its interest in the Company in
violation of this Article VIII shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
(b) Except as provided in this Article VIII, no Member shall
have the right to withdraw from the Company prior to its termination and no
additional Member may be admitted to the Company unless approved by Blackstone
Member and CSL Member. In no event shall this cause a dilution of the interest
of CSL Member. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
a Member may not Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Company if such
Transfer would jeopardize the status of the Company as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes, or would violate, or would cause the Company to violate,
any applicable law or regulation, including any applicable federal or state
securities laws or financing covenant.
(c) Concurrently with the admission of any substitute or
additional Member, the Members shall forthwith cause any necessary papers to be
filed and recorded and notice to be given wherever and to the extent required
showing the substitution of a transferee as a substitute Member in place of the
Member transferring its interest, or the admission of an additional Member, all
at the expense, including payment of any professional and filing fees incurred,
of such substituted or additional Member. The admission of any person as a
substitute or additional Member shall be conditioned upon such person's written
acceptance and adoption of all the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(d) If any interest in the Company is Transferred during any
accounting period in compliance with the provisions of this Article VIII, each
item of income, gain, loss, expense, deduction and credit and all other items
attributable to such interest for such period shall be divided and allocated
between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying
interests during such period in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code,
29
using any conventions permitted by law and selected by the Tax Matters Member.
All distributions on or before the date of such Transfer shall be made to the
transferor, and all distributions thereafter shall be made to the transferee.
Solely for purposes of making such allocations and distributions, the Company
shall recognize a Transfer on the date that the Tax Matters Member receives
notice of the Transfer which complies with this Article VIII from the Member
transferring its interest.
