Section 2.05         Capital Commitments.


(a)        Agreement to Contribute Capital. The Members agree to make their respective Capital Contributions on or before the Closing of the Property. In the event additional capital is required by the Company, the Manager shall, in its sole discretion, take one or more of the following actions:

Section 2.07         Additional Capital Contributions. If the Manager determines that the Company requires cash in addition to the Capital Contributions set forth in this Agreement in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to carry on the business of the Company, no more than 30 days after such determination, the Members may, but have no obligation, to agree to or make any additional contributions of additional capital; and the Manager may obtain additional financing from new investors after a written indication by each Member of the Member’s decision not to provide additional Capital Contribution; provided, however, that the Manager shall be required to obtain the prior approval of the Preferred Member to accept additional Capital Contributions or obtain additional financing, in each case in excess of $100,000, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which will be deemed provided if the additional financing or additional Capital Contribution is to be used to redeem the Preferred Member’s Class A Preferred Units and is actually used for such purpose. The Members acknowledge and agree that if a Member decides not to contribute Additional Capital Contributions, such Member’s Membership Interest may be decreased based on the Additional Capital Contributions of the other Members. Notwithstanding the Manager’s right to accept additional financing from new investors or accept additional Capital Contributions in amounts less than $100,000, the Manager may not issue any new Membership Interests or obtain new financing in any amount without the Preferred Member’s prior consent in the event the new Membership Interests or the terms of the new financing would negatively affect the Preferred Member’s preferential right to distributions or redemption rights.


Section 2.08         Additional Member Capital Contributions. (a) Subject to complying with the terms of Section 2.07, the Manager shall have the right to admit one or more Persons as members of the Company (each an “Additional Member”) with such rights and obligations as the Manager shall determine.

Subject to the Act and this  Section 2.08, any Membership Interest issued to Additional Members may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties as shall be determined by the Manager, in its sole and absolute discretion without the approval of any Member, and set forth in this Agreement or a written document thereafter attached to and made an exhibit to this Agreement (each, a “Membership Interest Designation”); provided, that that material terms of any Membership Interest Designation shall be set forth in any Additional Member Notice.

(c)        Upon a transfer of any Membership Interest (or portion thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred Membership Interest (or portion thereof).


(d)        The Manager may cause the Capital Accounts of the Members to be adjusted to reflect any revaluation(s) of any one or more Company assets made pursuant to, and in accordance with, the definition of Gross Asset Value and, further, in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g) (with such provisions being incorporated herein by reference).


Section 2.10       Return of Capital.

ARTICLE III


Allocations of Profits and Loss


Section 3.01         Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations and limitations set forth in Sections 3.02 and 3.03, Net Profits and Net Losses (and/or each and any of the items of income, gain, losses and deductions  entering into the computation thereof) for any fiscal year or other relevant period shall be allocated to and among the Members in such manner that the Manager shall determine will result in the Capital Account balance for each Member (which balance may be positive or negative), after adjusting the Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions and any special allocations required pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior fiscal years and other periods being (as nearly as possible) equal to the amount that would be distributed to the Member if the Company were to sell all of its assets at their current Gross Asset Value, pay all liabilities of the Company, and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 4.03. Net Losses allocated pursuant to this Section 3.01 to a Member shall not exceed the maximum amount of Net Losses that can be allocated without causing such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year or other relevant period. In the event that some but not all of the Members would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as a consequence of an allocation of Net Losses pursuant to this Section 3.01, the limitations set forth herein shall be applied on a Member-by-Member basis and Net Losses not allocable to any Member as a result of such limitation shall be allocated to the other Members in accordance with the positive balances in such Members’ Capital Accounts so as to allocate the maximum permissible Net Losses to each Member under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).


Section 3.02         Special / Regulatory Allocation. The following special allocations shall be made to the Members in the following order and priority:


(a)        Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III , if there is a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) attributable to “partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) during any fiscal year or other relevant period, each Member who or that has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year or other relevant period (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years and periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 3.02(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


(b)        Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in


- 7 -



Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.02, if there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2) during any fiscal year or other relevant period, each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such fiscal year or other relevant period (and, if necessary, subsequent fiscal years and other periods) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain, determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section 3.02(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


(c)        Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6) which causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Members in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate any such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This Section 3.02(c) is intended to qualify as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


(d)        Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Any “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1)) for any fiscal year or other relevant period shall be specially allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the “partner nonrecourse debt” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) to which such partner nonrecourse deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).


(e)        Nonrecourse Deductions. “Nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1)) shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.


(f)        Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated among the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their respective Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant  to such section of the Treasury Regulations.


Section 3.03         Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 3.01(c) and 3.02 (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 3.03. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article III (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the


- 8 -



Manager shall make such offsetting special allocations of Company income, gain, loss, or deduction in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Member’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Company items were allocated pursuant to Section 3.01. In exercising its discretion under this Section 3.03, the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made.


Section 3.04         Tax Allocations.


(a)        General. For each fiscal year or other relevant period, items of income, deduction, gain, loss or credit shall be allocated for United States federal, and state and local,  income tax purposes to and among the Members in the same manner as their corresponding book items are allocated to the Members pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.03 hereof for such fiscal year or other relevant period, as modified by subsections (b) through (d) below:


(b)        Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, Company income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any asset contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated to and among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the Company’s adjusted tax basis in such asset for United States federal income tax purposes and the Gross Asset Value of the asset using any method (or methods) that the Manager determines to use and which is permitted under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.


(c)        Reverse Section 704(c) Allocations. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to clauses (b) or (d) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value,” subsequent allocations of Company income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the Gross Asset Value of such asset immediately before such adjustment and its Gross Asset Value immediately after such adjustment using any method (or methods) that the Manager shall determine to use and which is permitted under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.


(d)        Recapture Income. Depreciation and amortization recapture, if any, resulting from any sales or dispositions of tangible or intangible depreciable or amortizable property of the Company shall be allocated to and among the Members in the same proportions that the depreciation or amortization being recaptured was allocated to and among the Members to the maximum extent permissible under the Treasury Regulations.


(e)        Other. Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations under this Section 3.04 will be made by the Manager. Allocations under this Section 3.04 are solely for purposes of United States federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits or Net Losses or other items or Distributions under any provision of this Agreement.


Section 3.05         Allocation in Event of Transfer. If there is a change in any Member’s interest in the Company, whether by reason of a transfer of such interest, the admission of a new Member or otherwise, during any fiscal year or other relevant period, Net Profits, Net Losses and items thereof for such fiscal year or other relevant period shall be allocated using such method(s) that the Manager shall determine to use and which is permissible under Section 706(d) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Section 4.04         Tax Distributions.

year that is allocable to the Members(such Member’s “Tax Distribution Amount” for such taxable period); provided, however, if the Manager determines that there shall be an insufficient amount of cash to so distribute to each Member for any taxable period, then the amount of cash that the Manager determines to be so available to distribute shall be distributed to the Members in proportion to their respective Tax Distribution Amounts, with any unpaid Tax Distribution Amounts to be treated as an additional Tax Distribution Amount for the immediately succeeding period for distribution pursuant to this Section 4.04.

(b)        Each Member recognizes that the other Members (including the Manager) have or may have other business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business of the Company and that such other Member (including the Manager) is entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments.

Section 5.03        Exculpation and Indemnification.


a)        The Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, investigative or administrative, and whether external or internal to the Company (other than an action or suit brought by or in the right of the Company), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Manager, Member, employee or trustee of the Company, or that, such person is or was an Affiliate of the Manager (including any partner, member, officer, director, shareholder, agent, advisor, or legal representative of the Manager or its Affiliates), Member, employee or trustee of the Company, against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner he, she, or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.


The termination of any action, suit or proceeding whether by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he, she or it reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, that such Person had reasonable cause to believe that his, her or its conduct was unlawful.


b)        The Company shall indemnify any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit brought by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he, she or it is or was a Manager, Member, employee or trustee of the Company or is or was an Affiliate of a Manager (including any partner, member, officer, director, shareholder, agent, advisor, or legal representative of the Manager or its Affiliates), Member, employee or trustee of the Company against expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with the defense, settlement or appeal of such action or suit if such Person acted in good faith and in a manner such Person reasonably believed to be in


- 15 -



or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such Person shall have been adjudicated to be liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of his, her or its duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such Person is fairly and reasonably entitled to be indemnified for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.


c)        Any indemnification under Sections 5.03(a) or 5.03(b) hereof (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that the indemnification of the Person in question is proper in the circumstances because that Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in Sections 5.03(a) or 5.03(b) hereof. Such determination shall be made by the Manager, in its reasonable discretion, upon notice to each of the Members; provided, that if the Preferred Member shall submit a written objection to such Manager’s determination within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such notice, then such determination shall be made by a court of competent jurisdiction.


d)        To the extent that any Person referred to in Sections 5.03(a) or 5.03(b) hereof has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, or any appeal or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, or on appeal from any such proceeding, action, suit, claim or matter, such Person shall be indemnified against all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith.


e)        Expenses incurred in any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or any appeal therefrom may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such matter, as authorized by the Manager in the Manager’s reasonable discretion, upon receipt of an acceptable undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount, unless it shall ultimately be determined, as provided herein, that such Person is entitled to indemnification.


f)        The indemnification provided by this Section 5.03 shall not be deemed exclusive of, and shall not affect, any other rights to which any Person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, agreement, or otherwise, and shall continue and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a Person.


g)        The Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person who is or was a Manager, Member, employee or trustee of the Company against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by him, her or it in any such capacity, or arising out of his, her or its status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section. Such insurance may include “tail” coverage for periods after termination of service in such capacity or after liquidation, merger, consolidation or other change in the Company.


h)        The Company shall, at its cost and expense, defend with counsel of the Company’s choice or approval, any Person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, and whether external or internal to the Company by reason of the fact that he, she or it or was acting in any capacity described in Sections 5.03(a) or 5.03(b) hereof if he, she or it acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful.

Accordingly, and notwithstanding anything herein or in any other document governing the management and operation of the Property to the contrary, and for so long as GIPREIT continues to be so treated and so constitute a REIT, the Company shall be managed and operated as if itself is an entity subject to the REIT Rules even if such management and operation is, or could be or become, detrimental or adverse, financially, economically or otherwise, to the Company and/or any Member. To this end, the Manager (or any successor manager(s)) shall have the right to, and shall, cause the Company and/or any of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and Affiliates to take any action or to refrain from taking any action (including but not limited to using a protective trust to own assets) that the Manager determines would be necessary or desirable for the Company, if it itself were a REIT, to (i) preserve its continued qualification as a REIT; and/or (ii) avoid being subject to any excise or other taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code or under any of the other REIT Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein or under any otherwise applicable law, rule, regulation or requirement to the contrary, neither the Manager (or any successor manager) nor any Member shall be liable to the Company, any Member or any other Person for any damages or losses that could result or arise from the Company being operated and/or managed as provided in this Section 5.04.


Section 5.05         Reliance by Third  Parties.  Persons dealing with the Company may rely conclusively upon the certificate of the Manager to the effect that it is then acting as the Manager and upon the power and authority of the Manager as herein set forth.


Section 5.06         Standard of Care; Activities of the Manager.  The Manager and its Affiliates may at any time and from time to time engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, and neither the Company nor the Members shall by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise have any right, title or interest in or to such independent ventures. The Manager and its Affiliates will have no obligation to offer to the Company, and are expressly permitted to invest directly or indirectly (independent of the Company and/or the Preferred Member) in any opportunities.


Section 5.07 Fees and Expense.


(a) Company Expenses.         The Company shall pay directly, or reimburse GIPLP for all of the costs and expenses of the Company’s operations, including, without limitation, the following costs and expenses: (a) all organization expenses advanced or otherwise paid by the Members; (b) all costs of personnel employed by the Company and directly involved in the Company’s business, if any; (c) all compensation due to the Members or their Affiliates; (d) all costs of borrowed money, taxes and assessments on Property and other taxes applicable to the Company; (e) legal, accounting, audit, brokerage and other fees; fees and expenses paid to independent contractors, mortgage brokers, real estate brokers and other agents; (g) costs of leasing, acquiring, owning, developing, constructing, improving, operating, and disposing of Property; (h) expenses incurred in connection with the development, construction, alteration, maintenance, repair, remodeling, refurbishment, leasing and operation of Property; (i) all expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance of Company books and records, the preparation and dissemination of reports, tax returns or other information to the Members and the making of Distributions to the Members; (j) expenses incurred in preparing and filing reports or other information with appropriate regulatory agencies; (k) expenses of insurance as required in

Without the prior written consent of the Manager, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, a Member may not (i) pledge, transfer or assign its Membership Interest in the Company, in whole or in part, to any person except as provided in Section 6.02 or (ii) substitute for itself as a Member any other Person. The Manager may require a Member seeking to transfer its Membership Interest to obtain, at such Member’s cost, a legal opinion satisfactory to the Manager that such transfer does not, among other things, require registration under the Securities Act or the Investment Company Act, or subject the Company to other regulatory burdens.  Additionally, GIPLP may not pledge, transfer or assign its Membership Interest in the Company, with or without the consent of Manager, to any Person other than an Affiliate until such time as the Brown Family’s Membership Interest has been redeemed by the Company or transferred to a third party. GIPLP may pledge, transfer or assign its Membership Interest to an Affiliate of GIPLP with the prior consent of Preferred Member, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The Manager does not generally expect to consent to pledges of Membership Interest. Any attempted pledge, transfer, assignment or substitution not made in accordance with this Section 6.01 shall be void.


Section 6.02         Permitted Assignees.


(a)        Subject to compliance with Section 6.01, a purchaser, assignee or transferee of a Member’s Membership Interest (each such Person, a “Permitted Assignee”) shall have the right to become a Substitute Member only if the following conditions (in addition to those set forth in Section 6.01) are satisfied:


(i)         A duly executed and acknowledged written instrument of assignment or document of transfer satisfactory in form and substance to the Manager shall have been filed with the Company;


(ii)        The Member and the Permitted Assignee shall have executed and acknowledged such other instruments and documents and taken such other action as


- 18 -



the Manager shall reasonably deem necessary or desirable to effect such substitution;


(iii)       The Member or the Permitted Assignee shall have paid to the Company such amount of money as is sufficient to cover all costs, fees and expenses (including attorney’s fees) incurred by or on behalf of the Company in connection with such substitution; and


(iv)       The Manager shall have consented to such substitution.


In the event of the admission of a Permitted Assignee as a Substitute Member, all references herein to the Members shall be deemed to apply to such Substitute Member and such Substitute Member shall succeed to all rights and obligations of the transferor Member hereunder, including the Capital Account balance of such transferor.


(b)        The Company shall, after the effective date of any assignment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.02, pay all distributions on account of the Membership Interest so transferred to the Permitted Assignee. If any such distribution is made to the assignor it shall be treated as if paid to the Permitted Assignee for purposes of determining the Capital Account balance of the Permitted Assignee.


(c)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Common Member may, upon written notice to the Manager, transfer any of its Membership Interests to an Affiliate of the Common Member.


(d)         Any Member who assigns all of its Membership Interest in the Company shall, upon the effective date of such assignment, cease to be a Member for all purposes, except that no assignment of all or any portion of its Membership Interest in the Company shall relieve the assignor of its obligations under this Agreement, whether arising prior to or subsequent to such transfer.


Section 6.03 Limitation of Liability.  For each Member, liability shall be limited as set forth in this Agreement, the Act, and other applicable law. A Member will not be personally liable for any debts or losses of the Company beyond its respective Capital Contribution; provided, however, that any Member who receives a distribution or the return in whole or in part of its Capital Contribution is liable to the Company only to the extent that such Member knew that such distribution violated the Act and then, only to the extent required by the Act.


ARTICLE VII


Termination of the Company


Section 7.01         Dissolution.


(a)        The Company shall be dissolved upon the happening of any of the following events (each a “Dissolution Event”):


(i)         the sale or disposition of all of the assets of the Company and the receipt of all consideration therefor;


- 19 -



(ii)         the occurrence of any event which, as a matter of law, requires that the Company be dissolved; or


(iii)        A determination by the Common Member after receiving prior, written consent from Preferred Member, to dissolve the Company.


(b)        Dissolution of the Company shall be effective on the day on which the Dissolution Event occurs, but the Company shall not terminate until the Company’s Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled and the assets of the Company shall have been distributed as provided in Section 7.02 hereof. Notwithstanding the dissolution of the Company prior to the termination of the Company, as aforesaid, the business of the Company and the affairs of the Members, as such, shall continue to be governed by this Agreement.


(c)        The Bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, death or adjudication of incompetency of a Member shall not cause the dissolution of the Company. In the event of the Bankruptcy, death or incompetency of a Member, its executors, administrators or personal representatives shall, subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the requirements of Article VII hereof, have the same rights that such Member would have if it had not suffered the foregoing, and the interest of such Member in the Company shall, until the termination of the Company, be subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement.

As soon as possible after the dissolution of the Company, a full account of the assets and liabilities of the Company shall be taken and a statement shall be prepared setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company. A copy of such statement shall be furnished to each of the Members within sixty (60) days after such dissolution. Thereafter,  the assets shall be liquidated as promptly as possible and the proceeds thereof shall be applied in the following order:


(i)         The expenses of liquidation and the debts of the Company, other than the debts owing to the Members, shall be paid from the proceeds of liquidation. Any reserves shall be established or continued which the Manager (or its designee) deems reasonably necessary for any liabilities to be satisfied in the future, for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or for its liquidation. Such reserves shall be held by the Company for the payment of any of the aforementioned contingencies, and at the expiration of such period as the Manager shall deem advisable, the Company shall distribute the balance thereafter remaining in the manner provided in the following subsections;


(ii)        Such debts as are owing to the Members, including unpaid expense accounts or advances made to or for the benefit of the Company, shall be paid; and


(iii)       Then, to the Members pursuant to and as provided in Section 4.03.


(b)        Upon dissolution of the Company, each of the Members shall look only to the assets of the Company for the return of his, her or its investment, and if the Company’s assets remaining after payment and discharge of debts and liabilities of the Company, including any


- 20 -



debts and liabilities owed to any one or more of the Members, are not sufficient to satisfy the rights of a Member, the Members shall have no recourse or further right or claim against the Company, the Manager or any other Member.


(c)        If any assets of the Company are to be distributed in-kind, such assets shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 4.01 as if the assets were sold based on the fair market value thereof, and any Member entitled to any interest in such assets shall receive such interest therein as a tenant-in-common with all other Members so entitled. The fair market value of such assets shall be determined by an independent appraiser to be selected by the Manager.


(d)        No Priority. Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the Company of which such Member is a Member for the return of such Member’s aggregate Capital Contributions in the Company and no Member shall have priority over any other Member as to the return of such Capital Contribution.

Section 8.02         Reports to Members. The Company shall prepare and deliver to each Member (i) to the extent prepared at the request of the Manager, unaudited quarterly statements and in the Manager’s sole discretion, an audited financial report of the Company prepared by the accountants selected by the Manager and (ii) quarterly statements of the Member’s Capital Account.

The Manager shall cause the Company to send to each Person who or that was a Member of the Company at any time during the fiscal year or other relevant period then ended, such tax information as shall be necessary for the preparation by such Member of his, her or its United States federal, state and local income tax returns. Unless and until the Manager shall determine that the Company should make an election to be, and/or to otherwise take such action that would result in the Company being, treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes, the Company and the Members agree that the Company shall constitute, and be treated for all United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, as a partnership for United States federal, state and local income purposes.

meaning of the New Partnership Audit Rules (the “Partnership Representative”). The Company and each Member shall take such actions as may be required to effect such designation. The Partnership Representative shall designate from time to time a “designated individual” to act on behalf of the Partnership Representative, and such designated individual shall be subject to replacement by the Partnership Representative in accordance with the Code and Treasury Regulations.  To the extent that the Partnership Representative does not make an election to apply the alternative method provided by Section 6226 of the Code (or any analogous provision of state or local tax law), the Partnership Representative shall have the authority and discretion to determine the portion of any imputed underpayment (within the meaning of the New Partnership Audit Rules) allocable to each Member.  Each Member agrees to provide any information reasonably requested by the Partnership Representative in order to determine whether any imputed underpayment (within the meaning of the New Partnership Audit Rules) may be modified in a manner consistent with the requirements of Code Section 6225(c), including any information that will enable the Partnership Representative to determine the portion of the imputed underpayment allocable to (A) a “tax-exempt entity” (as defined in Code Section 168(h)(2)), in the case of ordinary income, to a C corporation or, in the case of capital gain or qualified dividend income, to an individual. Each Member agrees that any payment by the Company of a partnership-level tax imposed with respect to the New Partnership Audit Rules shall be treated as paid with respect to such Member.  Each Member shall promptly contribute the amount of its allocable share of any partnership-level tax upon request by the Manager and, to the extent a Member does not contribute such amount within 15 days after demand for payment thereof, the Company shall offset such amount against distributions to which such Member would otherwise be subsequently entitled pursuant to Section 4.02 and 4.03 (and such amounts shall be deemed distributed pursuant to those provisions). Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the other Members, the Partnership Representative and the Manager from and against any liability (including any liability for partnership-level taxes imposed with respect to the New Partnership Audit Rules) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payment to such Member.  Each Member agrees, upon the request of the Partnership Representative, to file an amended United States federal income tax return for the taxable year which includes the


- 22 -



end of the taxable year to which an imputed underpayment relates and to pay on a timely basis any and all resulting taxes, additions to tax, penalties and interest due in connection with such tax return in accordance with Code Section 6225(c)(2).


 

(II)

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the Partnership Representative, in its sole discretion, may, and/or may cause the Company to, make or take (or not make or take) any election or other action that the Partnership Representative and/or the Company is permitted or required to make or take (or not make or take) under the New Partnership Audit Rules; and (y) each Member shall timely make or take (and/or cause to be timely made and taken) any and all actions and payments, and each Member shall timely prepare and file (and/or shall cause to be timely prepared and filed) any and all of its tax returns, consistent with and in compliance with the New Partnership Audit Rules and/or otherwise as the Partnership Representative shall determine to be consistent with and in compliance with the New Partnership Audit Rules and which the Partnership directs a Member to make, take or do.

 

 

 

 

(III)

For the avoidance of doubt, any Person who ceases to be a Member shall be deemed to be a Member for purposes of this Section 8.03, and the obligations of a Member pursuant to this Section 8.03 shall survive indefinitely with respect to any taxes withheld or paid by the Company that relate to the period during which such Person was actually a Member, regardless of whether such taxes are assessed, withheld or otherwise paid during such period.


Section 8.04 Books and Records. The Company shall maintain the Company’s books and records at the principal office of the Company, or such other place as designated by the Manager in its sole discretion. The books and records of the Company shall be available for examination by any Member, or its duly authorized representatives, during normal business hours upon reasonable request of a Member. The Company may provide such financial or other statements as the Manager in its sole discretion deems advisable.


Section 8.05 Information from Members. Each Member agrees to provide, upon the reasonable request of the Manager, any and all information necessary to comply with laws applicable to the Company.


Section 8.06 Assets and Liabilities. The assets and liabilities of the Company shall be determined based upon generally accepted accounting principles or as the Manager shall otherwise reasonably determine.


Section 8.07 Valuation. Whenever the Fair Value of property is required to be determined under this Agreement, such Fair Value shall be determined by the Manager, in good


- 23 -



faith, based upon available relevant information. It shall be reasonable for the Manager to value the Company’s assets for which market quotations are readily available based upon such market quotations. With respect to assets that are not readily marketable, the Manager will determine the Fair Value of such assets, in its sole discretion, in good faith, which may include retaining a third-party valuation firm to appraise such assets. The Manager shall also have discretion to assess Investments and to assign values as it believes are reasonable, and to adjust valuations based on hedging activities undertaken by the Company. The Manager shall have the discretion to use other valuation methods that it determines, in its sole discretion, are fair and reasonable.

Special Covenants


Section 10.01 Preferred Member Redemption. (a) On the Redemption Date, or at any time after the Redemption Date, Brown Family shall have a right to require that the Company redeem (the “Redemption”) all, but not less than all, of the Brown Family’s entire Membership Interest (the “Redeemed Membership Interest”) for an amount equal to Brown Family’s Adjusted Capital Contribution (the “Redemption Price”) by giving written notice (“Redemption Notice”) to the Manager expressly setting forth its desire to have its entire Membership Interest redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.01. Upon such delivery of such Redemption Notice, the remaining provisions of this Section 10.01 shall apply.


(b)        The closing of the Redemption shall occur on the business day determined by the Manager but that is no later than 120 days (the “Redemption Closing Period”) following the date of delivery of the Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 10.01(a) and shall be consummated by the Company and Brown Family having duly executed and dated the Redemption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and delivering such executed and dated Redemption Agreement to the other of them, and with the Company contemporaneously remitting to Brown Family, by wire transfer to the account designated by Brown Family in a writing executed and dated by Brown Family or by bank or certified check, an amount equal to the Redemption Price.  Brown Family shall continue to be entitled to receive distributions of the Preferred Return until the closing of the Redemption occurs.  Except as provided in Section 10.01(c), if the Company should fail to close on the Redemption by the Redemption Closing Period, and which failure was not due to any breach, act or omission on the part of Brown Family, then the Manager shall then be required to cause the Company to proceed to sell the Property with such sale process to be undertaken in the same manner as would be the case if the Company were to proceed with the sale of the Property without regard to Section 10.01. Brown Family’s consent shall be required for any sale of the Property conducted pursuant to this Section if the net proceeds of the proposed sale will be insufficient to pay Brown Family the full Redemption Price.  The Members hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that the Company may seek to acquire the funds to pay the Redemption Price through, by and/or from such legal means and sources – including, without limitation, from financing, re-financing or other borrowing (and even one requiring the mortgaging or encumbering of the Property) and on such terms and conditions that the Manager shall determine; the accepting of one or more Capital Contributions from any one or more Person(s) (including GIPLP and/or one or more of its Affiliates) and on such  terms and conditions that the Manager shall determine and the admission of such Person(s) as a member of the Company.


(c)        At any time during the Redemption Closing Period, GIPLP shall have the option to, and/or to have any one or more of its Affiliates to (individually or collectively, the “GIPLP Purchaser”) purchase (the “Membership Interest Purchase”) the Redeemed Membership Interest (and/or portions thereof) for a total price equal to the Redemption Price, by giving written notice to the Company and Brown Family that it desires to purchase the Redeemed Membership Interest directly from Brown Family for the Redemption Price pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement which is


- 27 -



substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and the day on which the Membership Interest Purchase shall occur (which day shall not be later than the end of the Redemption Closing Period) (the “Purchase Closing Day”), in which case the GIPLP Purchaser and Brown Family shall close on the purchase of the Redeemed Membership Interest by each of them duly executing and dating such Membership Interest Purchase Agreement and delivering such executed and dated Membership Interest Purchase Agreement to the other(s) of them, and with the GIPLP Purchaser contemporaneously remitting to Brown Family, by wire transfer to the account designated by Brown Family in a writing executed and dated by Brown Family, an amount equal to the Redemption Price. If the GIPLP Purchaser should fail to close on the Membership Interest Purchase before the end of the Redemption Closing Period, and which failure was not due to any breach, act or omission on the part of Brown Family, then the Manager shall then be required to cause the Company to proceed to sell the Property with such sale process to be undertaken in the same manner as would be the case if the Company were to proceed with the sale of the Property without regard to Section 10.01.


(d)        The Preferred Member shall, at Brown Family’s discretion, have an option to receive, all or a portion thereof, of the Redemption Price in the form of units in Generation Income Properties, L.P. (“GIPLP UNITS”).  Such GIPLP UNITS shall be subject to all such restrictions, such as with respect to transferability, as reasonably imposed by GIPLP.


(i)        The number of GIPLP UNITS issued to Brown Family shall be determined by dividing the total amount of the Redemption Price that Brown Family shall receive in GIPLP UNITS by a 15% discount of the average 30-day market price of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (e.g. if the market stock price is $10 a share, the number of units shall be converted based on $8.50 a share).


(ii)       Units shall then be convertible into common stock of Generation Income Properties, Inc. on a 1:1 basis in accordance to the Operating Agreement of Generation Income Properties, L.P.


Section 10.02         Call Option. At any time after the Redemption Date, the Company may, at its election, require the Preferred Member or any holder of the Class A Preferred Units to sell to the Company all or any portion of such Units for the Redemption Price.  Brown Family shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Error! Reference source not found., including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments and consents as may be deemed necessary or appropriate. Brown Family may, at Brown Family’s discretion, have an option to receive, all or a portion thereof, of the Redemption Price in the form of GIPLP UNITS.  Such GIPLP UNITS shall be subject to all such restrictions, such as with respect to transferability, as reasonably imposed by GIPLP. The number of GIPLP UNITS issued to Brown Family shall be determined by dividing the total amount of the Redemption Price that Brown Family shall receive in GIPLP UNITS by a 15% discount of the average 30-day market price of Generation Income Properties, Inc. (e.g. if the market stock price is $10 a share, the number of units shall be converted based on $8.50 a share). Units shall then be convertible into common stock of Generation Income Properties, Inc. on a 1:1 basis in accordance to the Operating Agreement of Generation Income Properties, L.P.


Section 10.03         Tri-Party Agreement.  Upon the Closing, Brown Family, GIPLP, and the Debt Provider shall enter into a Tri-Party Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Tri-Party Agreement, if the Debt Provider declares a default under the Loan and the Manager is unable to cure the default within sixty (60) days, Brown Family shall have the right, but not the obligation, to replace GIPLP as Manager of the Company; provided, however, (i) upon Brown Family replacing


- 28 -



GIPLP as Manager, Brown Family shall be required to assume all third-party guarantees by GIPREIT and David Sobelman in connection to the Loan, and subject to the Debt Provider’s consent, will replace GIPREIT and David Sobelman as guarantors of the Loan, (ii) any removal of GIPLP as the Manager, provided for in this Section 10.03 shall have no effect or impact on GIPLP’s Membership Interest or rights as a Member under this Agreement; (iii) GIPLP’s Membership Interest in the Company  shall be unaffected, and (iv) the Company shall continue to operate subject to the REIT provisions herein.


Section 10.03         Brown Family Enterprises, LLC Limited Right to Take Over as Manager. In the event of Manager’s (1) material breach of its obligations under Section 5.01(e) of this Agreement which is not cured within 60 days of Brown Family’s written notice to the Manager; or (2) failure to pay Brown Family the Preferred Return within 60 days of the legally allowable applicable payment of the Preferred Return, Brown Family, in addition to any remedies it may have at law or in equity, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to replace GIPLP as Manager of the Company; provided, however, (i) any removal of GIPLP as the Manager provided for in this Section 10.03 shall have no effect or impact on GIPLP’s Membership Interest or rights as a Member under this Agreement; (ii) GIPLP’s Membership Interest in the Company  shall be unaffected; and (iii) the Company shall continue to operate subject to the REIT Rules in this Agreement.
