The indemnification and the other provisions in this Section4.06 shall run to the benefit of all Affiliates of each Indemnified Party and the officers, directors, employees, shareholders, partners, members, agents and representatives of each of them and the successors and assigns of each of them.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event that any direct or indirect member, principal or affiliate of Lightstone (individually and collectively, the “Lightstone Guarantor”) and/or any direct or indirect member, principal or affiliate of Maximus (individually and collectively, the “Maximus Guarantor”) shall enter into any “bad boy” guaranty, environmental indemnity, non-recourse carveout or other guaranty (each, a “LoanGuaranty”) in favor of any institution providing any loan to the Company or any Subsidiary (a “Loan”), then, in any such event, Maximus, the Maximus Guarantor, Lightstone and the Lightstone Guarantor shall enter into a Reimbursement and Indemnity Agreement in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 7 (with such changes as are agreed between the parties thereto) (the “ReimbursementAgreement”); provided, however, that neither Maximus nor the Maximus Guarantor shall be obligated to enter into the Reimbursement Agreement unless and until Maximus has reviewed and approved the Loan and the Loan Guaranty to which the Reimbursement Agreement relates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) neither Maximus nor the Maximus Guarantor shall be obligated to enter into any Loan Guaranty unless and until Maximus has reviewed and approved the terms of the Loan to which such Loan Guaranty relates, and (ii) any amounts required to be paid by the Lightstone Guarantor or the Maximus Guarantor under any Loan Guaranty or under the Reimbursement Agreement (excluding such amounts caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud or illegal acts of such payor or its Affiliates) shall constitute Capital Contributions hereunder, and each Member shall have the right to fund its share (in accordance with their respective Company Percentage Interests) of any such amount payable under any Loan Guaranty.

4.07 Resignation or Termination of Managing Member. The Managing Member may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Members of the Company; provided, however, that:

(a) if Lightstone or a Replacement Managing Member resigns as the Managing Member at a time when Lightstone or an Affiliate thereof holds any Company Interest in the Company, then, in such event, Lightstone Manager or any such Affiliate shall have the sole right to appoint in its place a successor (a “Replacement Managing Member”) which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx, and such Replacement Managing Member shall thereafter hold all of the rights and obligations of the Managing Member hereunder; and

(b) if, at any time, Lightstone (or any Replacement Managing Member which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx) disposes of its entire Company Interest in the Company, then, at such time as Lightstone or the Replacement Managing Member, as the case may be, shall cease to serve as Managing Member, a successor Managing Member shall be, and any successor Managing Member thereafter shall be, selected by the unanimous vote of the holders of the outstanding Company Interests in the Company.

4.08 Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, to the extent set forth on a schedule of sources and uses attached hereto as Schedule II and approved by the Members on or before the date hereof (the “Sources and Uses”), the Company shall be responsible for paying, and shall pay, whether incurred before or after the date hereof, all costs and expenses related to the organization of the Company (including legal fees and expenses of the Members and their Affiliates in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement), all costs and expenses related to the business of the Company and of holding, owning, developing, capitalizing, servicing, collecting upon and operating any property owned by the Company and/or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, the cost of any environmental, engineering or similar report(s), the cost of all surveys of the Company Property, and any title insurance fees and premiums). In the event any such costs and expenses are or have been paid or incurred by any Member, such Member shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payment so long as such payment is approved by the Managing Member on the Sources and Uses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company have any obligation to pay or reimburse any Member for any general overhead expense of such Member.

(b) Supplementing the foregoing, the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred after the date hereof by the Member from time to time hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company upon demand.

4.09 Officers.

(a) The Managing Member may delegate all or any portion of its power and authority (subject to the terms of this Agreement) to officers of the Company appointed by the Managing Member to serve under the direction of the Managing Member. Each officer so appointed shall hold office for such term as is designated by, or otherwise at the pleasure of, the Managing Member.

(b) The Managing Member hereby appoints Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, as President, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx as Vice President, and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx as Vice President of the Company, to serve as President and Vice Presidents, respectively, in accordance with this Section 4.09 until such time as the authority hereby granted is revoked by the Managing Member, and hereby authorizes the President and Vice Presidents of the Company as follows:

(I) The President shall have active, executive management of the operations of the Company, subject, however, to the terms of this Agreement governing the Company. In general, the President shall perform all duties incident to the office of President and such other duties as the Managing Member may from time to time assign to him, whether pursuant to written directions, resolutions or otherwise.

(II) Each Vice President shall have such powers and perform such duties as the Managing Member of the Company may from time to time prescribe or as the President may from time to time delegate to him or her. At the request of the President, any Vice President may temporarily act in his place.

(III) The signed statement of the President or any Vice President reciting that he or she has authority to take any action, as to any third party, will be conclusive evidence of the power and authority of the President or Vice President to take that action.

(IV) Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the Managing Member of the Company. Any such resignation shall take effect at the date of the receipt of such notice or at any later time specified therein and unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.

4.10 Limitations on the Company’s Activities.

(a) This Section 4.10 is being adopted in order to comply with certain provisions required in order to qualify the Company as a “special purpose” entity.

(b) The Members shall not, so long as any Obligation is outstanding, amend, alter, change or repeal the definition of “Independent Manager” or Article 1, Article 3, this Article 4, Section 7.05, Section 7.06, Article 8, Article 9, Article 10, Section 11.03, Section 11.05, Section 11.14, or Section 11.17 of this Agreement without the unanimous written consent of the Managing Member and the Independent Managers. Subject to this Section 4.10(b), the Managing Member reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provisions contained in this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.05.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, the Members, any officer or any other Person, none of the Members nor any officer nor any other Person shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Company, without the prior unanimous written consent of the Managing Member and all Independent Managers, to take any Material Action, provided, however, that so long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Managing Member may not authorize the taking of any Material Action, unless there are at least two Independent Managers then serving in such capacity.

(d) The Managing Member shall cause the Company to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Managing Member shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable for the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Company. Failure of the Company, or the Managing Member on behalf of the Company, to comply with any of the foregoing covenants or any other covenants contained in this Agreement shall not affect the status of the Company as a separate legal entity or the limited liability of the Managing Member.

(e) So long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Managing Member shall not cause or permit the Company to take any action set forth on Schedule I attached hereto. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of Schedule I and the rest of this Agreement, the provisions of Schedule I shall control and govern.

ARTICLE 6

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE COMPANY, PERCENTAGE INTERESTS
AND CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

6.01 Members’ Capital Contributions. On the date hereof, each of the Members has made, or is deemed to have made, a Capital Contribution to the Company in accordance with the Sources and Uses and the Capital Contributions to the Company are as set forth on Exhibit 5 annexed hereto and made a part hereof. The Capital Contributions of each Member in accordance with the Sources and Uses as set forth in Exhibit5 shall be referred to as the “Initial Capital Contribution” of such Member.

6.02 Additional Contributions.

(a) Following the Initial Capital Contributions, in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary is in need of additional funds (i.e., funds in excess of, to the extent already available to the Company or any Subsidiary, the Initial Capital Contributions, Loan proceeds and income then currently available to the Company or such Subsidiary) (collectively, “Additional Capital Contributions”), one or more capital calls (each, a “Capital Call”) may be made by (i) any Member, if such additional funds are required for Non-Discretionary Costs (Capital Contributions required for the foregoing items, collectively, “Non-Discretionary Additional Capital Contributions”) or (ii) the Managing Member, if such additional funds are required to pay for any other costs and approved in accordance with Section4.01(d), in either case by notice (a “Capital Call Notice”) to each Member in accordance with this Section 6.02(a). Any Capital Call shall specify the total funds required and each Member’s Funding Percentage thereof, the purpose and the date such funds are required to be contributed to the Company (the “Funding Date”), which date shall not be earlier than the expiration of five (5) Business Days after the Capital Call is made under this Section 6.02(a). On or before the Funding Date, each Member shall contribute to the Company, as a Capital Contribution, an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on Funding Percentages) of the total amount specified in the Capital Call; provided, however, that no Member shall be obligated to fund any portion of Additional Capital Contributions that are not contemplated in the Business Plan annexed hereto (“Mandatory Additional Capital Contributions”; Mandatory Additional Capital Contributions and Non- Discretionary Additional Capital Contributions are, collectively, “Required Additional Capital Contributions”)).

(b) Except as set forth in Section 6.02(a), no Member shall be obligated to make any Capital Contribution or loan to the Company.

6.03 Failure to Fund Required Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) In the event the Members are required to make any Required Additional Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 6.02 and a Member (a “Non-Contributing Member”) has defaulted in its obligation to contribute all of its share of such Required Additional Capital Contribution by the Funding Date set forth in the applicable Capital Call Notice (the amount so not paid on account of such Required Additional Capital Contribution, the “DefaultedAmount”), the remedies set forth in this Section 6.03 shall apply.

(b) In the event there is a Non-Contributing Member with respect to any Required Additional Capital Contributions, the Member who is not the Non-Contributing Member (the “Contributing Member”) shall have the right, at its election, to either (i) withdraw its Required Additional Capital Contribution, or (ii) fund additional sums to the Company in the amount of the Defaulted Amount, or (iii) not take any action. Such election shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after the Contributing Member receives actual knowledge of the default of the Non-Contributing Member. If the Contributing Member has not made any election within such ten (10) Business Day period, then it shall be deemed to have elected not to take any action in accordance with the foregoing clause (iii).

(c) In the event that in accordance with clause (ii) of Section 6.03(b) above, the Contributing Member funds additional sums to the Company in the amount of the Defaulted Amount, then such funding shall be treated, subject to subparagraphs (d), (e) and (f) below, as a loan by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member (a “Member Loan”), in which case the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to have made the Required Additional Capital Contribution in response to the applicable Capital Call.

(d) Member Loans shall be repaid to the Contributing Member together with (x) the lesser of a 15% IRR return and (y) the highest rate which may be charged under applicable law. If a Member Loan has been made, the Non-Contributing Member shall not receive any distributions of Distribution Amounts while the Member Loan, including all interest thereon, remains unpaid. Instead, the Non-Contributing Member’s share of Distribution Amounts shall first be paid to the Contributing Member, until all Member Loans to such Non-Contributing Member, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall have been repaid in full. Such payments shall be applied first to accrued interest on such Member Loans and then to the repayment of the principal amounts thereof, but shall be considered, for all other purposes of this Agreement, to have been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member. To the extent more than one Member Loan is outstanding, the Member Loans shall be repaid in the reverse order of the date made. A Member Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall be prepayable at any time in whole or in part. For the sake of clarity, the making of a Member Loan by the Contributing Member and distributions of Distribution Amounts made in satisfaction of each such Member Loan (together with any interest thereon) shall be treated as contributions and distributions, respectively, of the Non-Contributing Member and not the Contributing Member for purposes of the calculation of the Members’ IRRs for purposes of Section 8.01. The provisions of this Agreement shall constitute evidence of the obligations of the Company and the Members as to any Member Loan and the absence of any note or other instrument for any Member Loan shall not affect the validity of any such Member Loan. With respect to each Member Loan, the Non-Contributing Member shall be deemed to have pledged to the Contributing Member, and granted to such Contributing Member, a continuing first priority security interest in all distributions attributable to the Non-Contributing Member’s membership interest to secure the payment of the principal of, and interest on, such Member Loan, and for such purpose this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement. The Contributing Member is authorized to immediately file one or more UCC-1 financing statements in order to perfect such security interest. In addition, the Non-Contributing Member shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver such other documents and take such other actions as the Contributing Member shall request in order to perfect or continue the perfection of such security interest, provided that such documents and/or actions do not increase the obligations or decrease the rights of the Non-Contributing Member under this Agreement (other than to a de minimis extent). Upon repayment of such Member Loan, the Contributing Member shall execute such documents as the Non-Contributing Member shall reasonably request to confirm the termination of such security interest.

(e) In the event that any Member Loan (including all interest accrued thereon) is not repaid within one hundred twenty (120) days (the “ConversionLockoutPeriod”) after the date on which it is made, then the Contributing Member shall have the right, exercisable until the later to occur of (i) one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the Conversion Lockout Period (the “Conversion Election Period”) and (ii) ten (10) days following written notice of the expiration of the Conversion Election Period from the Non-Contributing Member to the Contributing Member (provided that such notice may not be delivered more than ten (10) days before the expiration of the Conversion Election Period), to elect, by delivering written notice to the Members, to convert such Member Loan into an Additional Capital Contribution by the Contributing Member (a “DefaultContribution”) (the amount of which Default Contribution shall include any accrued and unpaid interest on such converted Member Loan), upon which election the respective Company Percentage Interests of the Contributing Member and the Non- Contributing Member shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 6.03(f). Upon the Contributing Member’s conversion of such Member Loan into a Default Contribution under this Section 6.03(e), the Contributing Member shall no longer be entitled to any further interest on such Member Loan.

(f) Upon the Contributing Member making a Default Contribution in accordance with Section6.03(c) or electing to convert an outstanding Member Loan to a Default Contribution in accordance with Section 6.03(e), (x) the Contributing Member’s Company Percentage Interest shall be recalculated and increased by an amount equal to the percentage equivalent of a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) multiplied by the amount of the Default Contribution and (ii) the denominator of which is equal to the total sum of the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions made by all Members through and including the date the Contributing Member made such Default Contribution, and (y) the Non-Contributing Member’s Company Percentage Interest shall be reduced by an amount equal to the percentage by which the Contributing Member’s Company Percentage Interest was increased pursuant to the preceding clause (x). Schedule III attached hereto illustrates the manner in which the Members intend this equity dilution formula to be calculated. Any adjustments in Company Percentage Interests pursuant to this Section6.03(f) shall be automatic and without the necessity of any further action by any Member. In addition, if Maximus’s Company Percentage Interest drops below ten (10%) percent, then Maximus shall no longer be entitled to receive Promote Distributions and, subject to Section 4.01(a)(IV)(F), all cash that would otherwise been distributed to Maximus as Promote Distributions will be distributed to the Members pro rata and pari passu.

(g) The Members acknowledge and agree that the remedy provisions provided for in this Section 6.03 could result in a Member having a de minimis Company Percentage Interest in the Company. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that in the event any Member fails to make its Required Additional Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 6.02, the other Members will suffer substantial damages, and the remedy provisions set forth in this Section 6.03 are fair, just and equitable in all respects and administratively superior to any other method for determining such damages. Each Member hereby agrees that in the event its interest in the Company is changed as provided in Section6.03, it shall execute and deliver such conveyances, agreements, instruments or other documents, and take such additional actions, which may be necessary, in the reasonable, good faith discretion of the other Members, to confirm and render fully effective the remedy provisions set forth in this Section 6.03.

(h) The remedies specified in this Section 6.03 are the exclusive rights and remedies of the Contributing Member as a result of the Non-Contributing Member’s default in its obligation to contribute its share of Required Additional Capital Contributions, and the Contributing Member shall not have any other rights and remedies at law or in equity as to any such default by the Non-Contributing Member.

6.04 Failure to Fund Other Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) In the event there is a Non-Contributing Member with respect to any Additional Capital Contributions that are not Required Additional Capital Contributions, the Contributing Member shall have the right, at its election, to either (i) withdraw its Additional Capital Contribution, or (ii) fund additional sums to the Company in the amount of the Non- Contributing Member’s share of such Additional Capital Contribution, or (iii) not take any action. Such election shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after the Contributing Member receives actual knowledge of the non-funding of the Non-Contributing Member. If the Contributing Member has not made any election within such ten (10) Business Day period, then it shall be deemed to have elected not to take any action in accordance with the foregoing clause (iii).

(b) In the event that in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 6.04(a) above, the Contributing Member funds its Capital Contribution and does not demand a return of its funds and/or funds additional sums to the Company in the amount of the Defaulted Amount, then the entire amount of such funding (i.e., the Contributing Member’s share and, if applicable, the Non-Contributing Member’s share) shall be treated as a loan by the Contributing Member to the Company (a “Company Loan”), which shall be repaid by the Company together with the lesser of (x) a 15% IRR return and (y) the highest rate which may be charged under applicable law.

6.05 Capital Accounts.

(a) Exhibit 6 annexed hereto and made a part hereof is a description of the determination of the Members’ Capital Accounts and other provisions which the Company and the Members have agreed shall govern the allocation of profits and losses and other tax compliance and accounting matters.

(b) No Member shall have any obligation to restore all or any portion of a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account.

6.06 Withdrawal or Reduction of Members’ Contributions to Capital.

(a) Except as provided in Section 10.02 hereof, a Member shall not receive out of Company Property any part of its Capital Contribution until all liabilities of the Company, except liabilities to Members on account of their Capital Contributions, have been paid or there remains property of the Company sufficient to pay them.

(b) Except as provided in Section10.02 hereof, a Member, irrespective of the nature of its Capital Contribution, has only the right to receive cash in return for its Capital Contribution.

6.07 Return of Capital. No Member shall be liable for the return of the Capital Contributions (or any portion thereof) of any other Member, it being expressly understood that any such return shall be made solely from the assets of the Company.

ARTICLE 7

8.03 Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law.

Amounts treated as advanced to any Member pursuant to clause(b) of this Section 8.04 shall be repaid by such Member to the Company within thirty (30) days after any Member gives notice to such Member making demand therefor. Any amounts so advanced and not timely paid shall bear interest, commencing on the expiration of said thirty (30) day period, at a rate equal to the lesser of (x) twenty percent (20%) per annum or (y) the highest rate which may be charged under applicable law, in each case compounded monthly. The Company shall collect any unpaid amounts due under this Section 8.04 from any Company distributions that would otherwise be made to such Member.

8.05 Allocations. Exhibit 6 attached hereto and made a part hereof sets forth certain tax allocations by the Company.

8.06 Accounting Principles.

8.08 Accounting Period. The Company’s accounting period shall be the calendar year.

At a minimum, the Company shall keep at its principal place of business the following records:

(b) a copy of the certificate of formation of the Company and any Subsidiary, this Agreement and all amendments thereto, together with executed copies of any powers of attorney pursuant to which any amendment has been executed;

The Members each shall take reporting positions on their respective federal, state and local income tax returns consistent with the positions determined for the Company.

8.11 Tax Matters Member.

(a) The Managing Member is designated the “tax matters partner” (as defined in Code Section 6231 and for purposes of this Agreement defined as the “Tax Matters Member”), and, subject to the further terms of this Section 8.11, is authorized and required to represent the Company (at the Company’s expense) in connection with all examinations of the Company’s affairs by tax authorities, including, without limitation, administrative and judicial proceedings, subject to the further terms of this Section8.11, and to expend Company funds for professional services and costs associated therewith.

All expenses incurred in connection with any such audit and with any other tax investigation, settlement or review shall be borne by the Company.

(b) In the event that the Company shall be the subject of an audit by any federal, state or local taxing authority, to the extent that the Company is treated as an entity for purposes of such audit, including administrative settlement and judicial review, the Tax Matters Member shall be authorized to act for, and its decision shall be final and binding upon, the Company and each Member thereof; provided, however, that the Tax Matters Member shall (i) notify the Members of any administrative proceeding with respect to the Company pursuant to Section 6223(c) of the Code, (ii) furnish the Members with any material correspondence or communication relating to the Company from the Internal Revenue Service received by the Tax Matters Member, and (iii) consult with the other Members prior to taking any material action relating to the tax affairs of the Company.

TRANSFERABILITY; SALE OF PROPERTY

9.01 General. Without the prior written consent of the other Members in each instance, (i) no Member shall sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, transfer, exchange or otherwise transfer for consideration, or gift, bequeath or otherwise transfer for no consideration (whether or not by operation of law) directly or indirectly, all or any portion (a “Transfer”), of its Company Interest in the Company (including, without limitation, any right to receive distributions, dividends or profits from the Company), and (ii) there shall occur no Transfer of a direct or indirect ownership interest in Asset Manager, it being understood and agreed that (a) to the extent that any Member or any owner of an indirect ownership interest in the Company or Asset Manager is an individual, (I) a Transfer by such Member or such holder of an indirect interest, as the case may be, to a trust or other entity established and maintained solely for purposes of estate planning shall not be deemed a Transfer so long as the Company received prior written notice thereof and the sole beneficiaries of such transferee (other than de minimis interests held by charitable organizations) are and continue to be such Member’s or such interest holder’s, as the case may be, brothers and sisters, spouse, ancestors or lineal descendants and (II) a Transfer to the spouse or children of such Member or holder upon the death of such individual shall not constitute a violation of this Agreement so long as such resulting holder agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement to the extent applicable, (b) at any time and from time to time the direct or indirect partners, members and/or shareholders in Lightstone may Transfer any direct or indirect interest in Lightstone so long as Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx or his Affiliates (or their successors or assigns) controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Lightstone, and (c) from time to time, the direct or indirect partners, members and/or shareholders in the Administrative Member or Asset Manager may Transfer direct and indirect interests in the Administrative Member or Asset Manager, as applicable, subject to the terms of Sections 7.03 and 7.04 hereof and so long as, at all times, one (1) or more of the Key Principals controls the Administrative Member and Asset Manager. Any Transfer made or attempted to be made in violation of this Section9.01 (including, without limitation, any otherwise permitted Transfer for which proper notice and evidence has not been given to the Company) shall be null and void. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Member shall make any Transfer in violation of the restriction set forth in Section 10.22 of the Purchase Agreement, without the prior written consent of the other Members. Each Member agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the other Member and the Company harmless from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which the other Member and/or the Company may suffer or incur in connection with any breach by such Member of the terms, conditions and restrictions of Section 10.22 of the Purchase Agreement.

9.02 Effect of Transfer. No new Member shall be entitled to any retroactive allocation of losses, income or expense deductions incurred by the Company. The Managing Member may, at its option, at the time a Member is admitted, close the Company books (as though the Company’s tax year had ended) or make allocations of loss, income and expense deductions to a new Member for that portion of the Company’s tax year in which a Member was admitted in accordance with the provisions of Section 706(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

9.03 Creation of Additional Membership Interests. Additional membership interests may be created and issued to existing Members or to other Persons, and such other Persons may be admitted to the Company as members, only with the approval of the Members, on such terms and conditions as the Members may mutually approve at the time of admission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any creation of additional membership interests shall affect the Members equally, on a pari passu basis.

9.04 Maximus Property Sale/Conversion Right.

(a) Election. At any time following the Lockout Date, following receipt of written notice (the “ElectionNotice”) from Maximus (which written notice shall be delivered in Maximus’s sole and absolute discretion) requesting that the Property be sold for not less than $X (the “SellerAscribedValue”), the Managing Member shall have the right to elect, which election shall be made within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Election Notice, to either (x) cause the Company to market the Property for sale, or (y) buy out Maximus’s interest in the Promote Distributions in accordance with Section9.04(d) below (a “PromoteBuyout”). If the Managing Member elects to effect a Promote Buyout, then the “as-is” fair market value of the Property (the “BuyoutPropertyValue”) shall be the Seller Ascribed Value or, if the Managing Member elects not to accept the Seller Ascribed Value, then the value subsequently determined by appraisal as set forth in Schedule V attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(b) PropertySale. If the Managing Member elects to market the Property for sale, then the Members shall cooperate to market the Property for sale and sell the Property.

(d) Promote Buyout. If the Managing Member elects pursuant to Section 9.04(a) to effect a Promote Buyout, then (i) Lightstone, REIT III Member and REIT IV Member shall pay to Maximus (pro rata, in accordance with their respective Company Percentage Interests) an aggregate amount (the “Promote Buyout Price”) equal to the aggregate Promote Distributions that Maximus would receive if Distribution Amounts in an amount equal to the Net Capital Proceeds which would result if the Property were sold to a third party for the Buyout Property Value were distributed pursuant to Section 8.01(c), and any reserves then held by the Company or any Subsidiary liquidated and distributed pursuant to Section 8.01(c) and (ii) from and after payment of the Promote Buyout Price, (x) distributions shall no longer be made pursuant to Section 8.01 and all Distribution Amounts shall instead thereafter be distributed to the Members pro rata and pari passu in accordance with their respective Company Percentage Interests, subject to repayment of any outstanding Company Loans, (y) the Managing Member shall have the right to replace Maximus as Administrative Member and terminate its services as Asset Manager and (z) Maximus shall no longer have the right to approve or consent to any decision or action of the Company other than Fundamental Decisions. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after a Promote Buyout, any Required Additional Capital Contributions to the Company shall be made by the Members in accordance with their respective Company Percentage Interests.
