(b) Second, to the Class A Members (to be shared among them, pro rata, according to their respective unpaid Current Class A Return) until such Class A Members have received distributions in an amount equal to their respective unpaid Current Class A Return (as may be modified by Section 6.14) until it is paid in full pursuant to this Section 6.6(b), Section 6.7(a) and Section 6.8(e);

6.9 Special Tax Allocations. The allocations in this Section 6.9 shall be given effect before giving effect to the allocations contained in Sections 6.1 through Section 6.5:

(a) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, if the amount of Net Loss and Loss for any Adjustment Period that would otherwise be allocated to a Member hereunder would cause or increase a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account to an amount in excess of the sum of such Member’s share of Minimum Gain as of the last day of such Adjustment Period, then a proportionate part of such Net Loss and Loss equal to such excess shall be allocated proportionately first to the other Members in an amount up to, but not in excess of, the amount that would cause or increase a deficit balance in each of such Member’s Capital Accounts to an amount equal to the sum of their respective shares of Minimum Gain as of the last day of such Adjustment Period. For purposes of this Section 6.9(a), each Member’s Capital Account shall be computed as of the last day of such Adjustment Period in the manner provided in the definition of Capital Account, but shall be reduced for the items described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)-(d)(4), (5) and (6) of the Treasury Regulations interpreting the IRC.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the Members, as of the last day of any Adjustment Period, has a deficit balance in its Capital Account that exceeds the sum of its share of Minimum Gain as of such last day, then all items of income and gain of the Company (consisting of a prorata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income and Gain) for such Adjustment Period shall be allocated to such Members in the amount and in the proportions required to eliminate such excess as quickly as possible. For purposes of this Section, a Member’s Capital Account shall be computed as of the last day of an Adjustment Period in the manner provided in the definition of Capital Account, but shall be increased by any allocation of income to such Member for such Adjustment Period under Section 6.9(c).

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if there is a net decrease in the Minimum Gain during any Adjustment Period, then all items of gross income and Gain of the Company for such Adjustment Period (and, if necessary, for subsequent Adjustment Periods) shall be allocated to each Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to one or more nonrecourse liabilities of the Company or (ii) the deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account (determined before any allocation for such Adjustment Period) in excess of the sum of such Member’s share of the Minimum Gain as of the close of such Adjustment Period. The items required to be allocated to the Members under this Section 6.9(c) shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, any item of Company loss, deduction or IRC Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure that is attributable to a nonrecourse liability of the Company for which any Member bears the economic risk of loss (e.g., a Member or an Affiliate makes the nonrecourse loan to the Company) shall be allocated to the Member or Members who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to such liability to the extent required in Section 1.704-2(i) of the Treasury Regulations interpreting the Code.

6.10 Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 6.9 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with the requirements of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to divide Company distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Manager may make such offsetting special allocations of income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate to so as to prevent the Regulatory Allocations from distorting the manner in which the Company’s distributions would otherwise be divided among the Members. In general, the Members anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other profit, losses, gain, and deductions among the Members so that, after such offsetting special allocations are made, the amount of each Member’s Capital Account will be, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not a part of this Agreement and all Company items had been allocated to the Members solely pursuant to Sections 6.1 through 6.5.

6.11 IRC Section 704(c) Tax Allocations. In accordance with IRC Section 704(c) the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value. Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Manager in its sole discretion.

6.12 Distribution Limitations. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to the Members on account of their interests in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law or would constitute a default under any Basic Document.

6.13 Amounts Withheld for Taxes or Paid on Composite Returns. All amounts withheld pursuant to the IRC or any provision of any state or local tax law with respect to any payment, distribution or allocation to the Company or one or more of the Members shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed, as the case may be, to the Members for whom such amounts were withheld pursuant to this Article for all purposes under this Agreement. The Manager may allocate any such amount among the Members in any manner that is in accordance with applicable law. The Company is authorized to withhold from payments and distributions to one or more Members, or with respect to allocations to one or more Members, and to pay over to any federal, state or local government, any amounts so withheld under this Agreement, the Code or any provisions of any other federal, state, or local law, and shall allocate any such amounts to the Members for whom such amounts were withheld. To the extent required by any provision of any state or local tax law, the Company shall file a composite tax return on behalf of one or more of its Members and shall report and pay income taxes required by law to be paid with such composite tax returns to any Taxing Jurisdiction, and any such amounts shall be treated as a Distribution to the Member for whom such composite tax return is filed. The Company shall have the power and authority to determine (a) whether a Member should be included in a composite tax return required to be filed by any provision of any applicable tax law, and (b) whether the Member is subject to withholding, pursuant to this Section, on payments, distributions or allocations from the Company. A Member shall be limited to an action against the applicable Taxing Jurisdiction(s) with respect to any claims based on over-withholding or over-payment on a composite tax return, and neither the Company, nor the Managers shall have any liability to any Member with respect to any withholding or composite tax return filings or payments made pursuant to this Section.

6.14 Timing of Distributions of Current Class A Return and Priority Class A Return. Distributions of Current Class A Return under Section 6.6(b) or Section 6.8(e) and Priority Class A Return under Section 6.6(c) or Section 6.8(c) will be made on a monthly basis on or before the 10^th day of each calendar month following the calendar month to which the Current Class A Return or Priority Class A Return relates. If a distribution of Current Class A Return or Priority Class A Return is not made on or before the 10^thday of a calendar month (a “Delayed Distribution”), the Current Class A Return and the Priority Class A Return (if any) shall be calculated by increasing the annual percentage rate therein by 3.5% from the 11^th day of such calendar month until such time as all Delayed Distributions are made.

Upon the execution by any such SOIF II Transferee, SOIF III Transferee, BGF Transferee or BRG Transferee of such documents necessary to admit such party into the Company and to cause the SOIF II Transferee, SOIF III Transferee, BGF Transferee or BRG Transferee (as applicable) to become bound by this Agreement, the SOIF II Transferee, SOIF III Transferee, BGF Transferee or BRG Transferee (as applicable) shall become a Member, without any further action or authorization by any Member.

(c) Admission of Transferee; Partial Transfers. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10 to the contrary, no Transfer of Membership Interests in the Company shall be permitted unless the potential transferee is admitted as a Member under this Section 10.1(c):

(i) If a Member Transfers all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company, such transferee may become a Member if (i) such transferee executes and agrees to be bound by this Agreement, (ii) the transferor and/or transferee pays all reasonable legal and other fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such assignment and substitution and (iii) the transferor and transferee execute such documents and deliver such certificates to the Company and the remaining Members as may be required by applicable law or otherwise advisable; and

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Transfer or purported Transfer of any Membership Interest, whether to another Member or to a third party, shall be of no effect and void ab initio, and such transferee shall not become a Member or an owner of the purportedly transferred Membership Interest, if the Manager determines in its sole discretion that:

(a) the Transfer would require registration of any Membership Interest under, or result in a violation of, any federal or state securities laws;

(b) the Transfer would result in a termination of the Company under Code Section 708(b);

(c) as a result of such Transfer the Company would be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder;

(d) if as a result of such Transfer the aggregate value of Membership Interests held by “benefit plan investors” including at least one benefit plan investor that is subject to ERISA, could be “significant” (as such terms are defined in U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101(f)(2)) with the result that the assets of the Company could be deemed to be “plan assets” for purposes of ERISA;

(e) as a result of such Transfer, the Company would or may have in the aggregate more than one hundred (100) members and material adverse federal income tax consequences would result to a Member. For purposes of determining the number of members under this Section 10.1(c)(ii)(e), a Person (the “beneficial owner”) indirectly owning an interest in the Company through a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation (as such terms are used in the Code) (the “flow-through entity”) shall be considered a member, but only if (i) substantially all of the value of the beneficial owner’s interest in the flow-through entity is attributable to the flow-through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Company and (ii) in the sole discretion of the Manager, a principal purpose of the use of the flow-through entity is to permit the Company to satisfy the 100-member limitation; or

(f) the transferor failed to comply with the provisions of Sections 10.1(b)(i) or (ii).

The Manager may require the provision of a certificate as to the legal nature and composition of a proposed transferee of an Membership Interest of a Member and from any Member as to its legal nature and composition and shall be entitled to rely on any such certificate in making such determinations under this Section 10.1(c).

10.2 Withdrawals. Each of the Members does hereby covenant and agree that it will not withdraw, resign, retire or disassociate from the Company, except as a result of a Transfer of its entire Membership Interest in the Company permitted under the terms of this Agreement and that it will carry out its duties and responsibilities hereunder until the Company is terminated, liquidated and dissolved under Article 12. No Member shall be entitled to receive any distribution or otherwise receive the fair market value of its Membership Interest in compensation for any purported resignation or withdrawal not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

10.3 Death, Incapacity or Dissolution of a Member.

(a) The death, insanity or incompetency of a Member who is an individual shall not, in and of itself, cause the termination or dissolution of the Company. Thereafter, the legally authorized personal representative of such Member shall have all the rights of a Member for the purpose of settling or managing his estate, and shall have such power as such party possessed to make an assignment of his interest in the Company in accordance with the terms hereof and to join with such assignee in making application to substitute such assignee as a Member, provided all of the provisions of this Agreement are complied with by the holder of such Member’s interest.

(b) The dissolution or other cessation to exist as a legal entity of any Member that is not an individual shall not, in and of itself, cause the termination or dissolution of the Company. Thereafter, the authorized representative of such entity, possessed of the rights of such Member for the purpose of winding up, in any orderly fashion, and disposing of the business of such entity, shall have such power as such entity possessed to make an assignment of its interest in the Company in accordance with the terms hereof and to join with such assignee in making application to substitute such assignee as a Member, provided all of the provisions of this Agreement are complied with by the holder of such Member’s interest.

10.4 BRG Class A Conversion Right. During the Conversion Period and for so long as BRG holds Class A Units in the Company, BRG shall have the right to convert all, but not less than all, of its Class A Units into Class B Units in accordance with this Section 10.4.

(a) During the Conversion Period, and so long as BRG then holds a Majority of the Class A Membership Interests, BRG may deliver a notice to the Company (a “Conversion Notice”) indicating that BRG is exercising its conversion right under this Section 10.4. From and after the date of the Company’s receipt of the Conversion Notice (the “Receipt Date”), Current Class A Return and Priority Class A Return shall cease to accrue on BRG’s Net Capital Contributions to the Company; however, BRG shall retain all other rights of a Class A Member until the Conversion Date.

(b) Within ten (10) days of the date of the receipt of the Conversion Notice, the Company shall issue to BRG a number of Class B Units equal to the Conversion Amount, as determined in accordance with Section 10.4(c) below (the “Conversion Units”), cancel all of BRG’s Class A Units, and return to BRG any remaining funds in the Class A Preferred Reserve. The date of such issuance, cancellation and return of funds shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Conversion Date.” From and after the Conversion Date, BRG shall cease to be a Class A Member and, if not previously admitted as a Class B Member, shall be admitted as a Class B Member with no further action required by the Company, the Manager or the Members. The Manager shall amend Schedule I as of the Conversion Date to reflect the conversion.

(c) The number of Conversion Units to be issued to BRG on the Conversion Date shall equal the number of Class B Units that would cause the Class B Membership Interest acquired by BRG pursuant to this Section 10.4 to hold a proportional eighteen and one-half percent (18.5%) Class B Membership Interest and a Capital Account in an amount equal to the same proportion. The foregoing conversion ratio assumes the Members have fully funded their respective initial Capital Contributions, that the Class A Capital Commitment has been fully funded, that the Project was developed, leased-up and funded as provided in the Project Budget, that Additional Capital Contributions have been made by the Class B Members as projected, and that all Current Class A Returns and Priority Class A Returns have been paid. In the event that the Class B Members’ Capital Contributions were substantially more than projected, the Members will confer and in good faith determine a commensurate conversion ratio.

10.5 Class A Mandatory Redemption.

(a) Notwithstanding the restrictions on Transfer contained in this Article 10, but subject to the Basic Documents, the Company shall redeem all, but not less than all, of the Class A Units on the Class A Mandatory Redemption Date for payment of the Class A Unit Redemption Amount in immediately available funds to the Class A Members, unless prohibited by law, and in such event, on the earliest practicable date such redemption would not be prohibited by law; provided, however, this Section 10.5 shall not be applicable to the extent the Class A Member has exercised its Conversion Right under Section 10.4 prior to the Class A Mandatory Redemption Date.

(b) Subjection to Section 10.5(a), on the Class A Mandatory Redemption Date (or earliest practicable date), upon receipt of the Class A Unit Redemption Amount, the Class A Member shall transfer its Class A Units free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances or other restrictions and execute and acknowledge a written instrument of assignment, together with such other instruments as the Manager, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary or desirable to effect the Transfer of the Class A Units, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Manager.

(c) Without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, following the redemption of the Class A Units, the Class A Members shall have no rights in the Company.

(d) To the extent the Company does not redeem the Class A Units on the Class A Mandatory Redemption Date, the Class A Units shall continue to accrue the Current Class A Return except that the Current Class A Return shall be twenty percent (20%) per annum on and after the Class A Mandatory Redemption Date until and through the date the Class A Unit Redemption Amount is paid in full.

Any action required by law to be taken at any annual or special meeting of Members, or any action which may be taken at a meeting of the Members, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken is signed by the Members having not less than the Membership Interests that would be necessary to authorize such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Such consents shall have the same force and effect as the unanimous consent of the Members at a meeting duly held. Such consents shall be filed with the minutes of the meetings of the Members.

17.3 Other Ventures. Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement to the contrary, any of the Members, the Manager, BRG’s direct and indirect parents, SOIF II’s members, SOIF III’s member, BGF’s members or any of their Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in other profit-seeking or business ventures of every nature and description, independently or with others, including those that may compete with the Company without any obligation to share any profits therefrom with the Company or the Members.
