If Additional Units are issued as provided in Article XII, the total number of Units outstanding shall be automatically increased by the number of Additional Units issued.

Section 4.6 Advances. If any Holder shall advance any funds to the Company in excess of its Capital Contributions, the amount of such advance shall neither increase its Capital Account nor entitle it to any increase in its share of the distributions of the Company.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not make a distribution to any Holder on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate Section 18-607 of the Delaware Act or other applicable law.

Section 8.7 Allocation of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Profits and Losses of the Company shall be allocated among the Holders as follows:

(a)      Seventy Percent of the Profits or Losses (the “Class A Units Profits”) shall be allocated to the Holders of the Class A Units, with the amount allocated to each such Holder equal to the product of such Holder’s Allocation Percentage, with respect to Class A Units, times the Class A Units Profits.

Section 8.8 Special Allocations. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order:

(a)      Qualified Income Offset.

(b)      Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Tax Year, each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such deficit Capital Account as quickly as possible.

(c)      Preferred Return on Class A Units. The Holders of the Class A Units shall be allocated cumulative dividends on an annual basis for each Class A Unit in an amount equal to the product of ten percent (10.0 %) times the Original Purchase Price for such Class A Unit (the “Preferred Dividend”). Preferred Dividends shall accrue on each Class A Unit from the later of the date of original issuance of such Class A Unit or the Transaction.

(d)      Pre-Transaction Return. The Holders of the Class A Units shall be allocated cumulative dividends for each Class A Unit in an amount equal to the product of the actual interest rate paid to the Company on any account or accounts holding the Company’s cash prior to the Transaction times the Original Purchase Price for such Class A Unit (the “Pre-Transaction Dividend”). Pre-Transaction Dividends shall accrue on

16
 

each Class A Unit from the date of original issuance of such Class A Unit until the date of the Transaction.

Section 8.9 Allocation Rules.

(a)      If Holders acquire Units on different dates during a Tax Year, the Profits and Losses allocated to the Holders for such Tax Year shall be allocated among the Holders in proportion to the respective Units that each holds from time to time during such Tax Year in accordance with §706 of the Code, using any convention permitted by law and selected by the Manager.

(b)      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for purposes of determining the Profits and Losses allocable to any period, Profits and Losses shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as determined by the Manager using any method that is permissible under §706 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(c)      The Holders acknowledge the income tax consequences of the allocations made by this Article VIII and shall be bound by the provisions of this Article VIII in reporting their shares of Company income, gain, deduction, loss, and credit for income tax purposes.

Section 11.3 Fiduciary Duty.

(b)      Unless otherwise expressly provided herein,

(i)      Whenever a conflict of interest exists or arises between Covered Persons, or

(ii)      Whenever this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or therein provides that a Covered Person shall act in a manner that is, or provides terms that are, fair and reasonable to the Company or any Member, the Covered Person shall resolve such conflict of interest, taking such action or providing such terms, considering in each case the relative interest of each party (including its own interest) to such conflict, agreement, transaction or situation and the benefits and burdens relating to such interests, any customary or accepted industry practices and GAAP; provided that the Manager shall vote on the adequacy of any such resolution of conflict of interest by the Covered Person, making such adjustments to such resolution as the Manager in his sole discretion sees fit; and provided further that if such Covered Person is a Manager, such

19
 

Covered Person shall not vote with the Manager on the adequacy of such resolution. In the absence of bad faith by the Covered Person, the resolution, action or term so made, taken or provided by the Covered Person shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or of any duty or obligation of the Covered Person at law or in equity or otherwise,

(c)      Whenever in this Agreement a Covered Person is permitted or required to make a decision

(i)      In its “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Covered Person shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including legal fees) incurred by a Covered Person in defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall be advanced, from time to time, by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding including any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding with respect to which such Covered Person is alleged to have not met the applicable standard of conduct or is alleged to have committed conduct so that, if true, such Covered Person would not be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Covered Person to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in Section 11.4 hereof.

Section 11.6 Outside Businesses. Any Member, Manager, Director or Affiliate thereof may engage in or possess an interest in other business ventures of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the

20
 

Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Company, the Members, the Directors and the Manager shall have no rights by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures or the income or Profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of any such venture, even if competitive with the business of the Company, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. No Member, Manager, Director or Affiliate thereof shall be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the Company even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be taken by the Company, and any Member, Manager, Director or Affiliate thereof shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner or fiduciary) or to recommend to others any such particular investment opportunity.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Director shall, for the period commencing on the date such person becomes a Director and ending on the first of i) the second anniversary of the date such person was no longer a Director or ii) the date of dissolution of the Company (the “Restrictive Period”), solicit or encourage any person to leave the employ of the Company or any other affiliate of the Company; or criticize, ridicule or make any statement which disparages or is derogatory of the Company or any affiliate, including any parent or subsidiary, of the Company, or any of their respective Managers, officers, Directors, agents or employees, or otherwise portray either the Company or any affiliate of the Company, or any of their respective Managers, Directors, officers or other employees in any unfavorable light.

(b)      The Company shall only issue up to a total of One Thousand (1,000) Class A Units. Each Class A Unit shall cost the Original Purchase Price.

(c)      Each Person who subscribes for any of the Additional Units shall be admitted as an additional Member of the Company (each, an “Additional Member” and collectively, the “Additional Members”) at the time such Person (i) executes this Agreement or a counterpart of this Agreement and (ii) is named as a Member on the Schedules hereto. The legal fees and expenses associated with such admission shall be borne by the Company.

(d)      If Additional Units are issued pursuant to this Article XII such Additional Units will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as Units as of the date of issuance.

21
 

(e)      Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as PLYMOUTH OPPORTUNITY OP LP, a Delaware limited partnership, (“Plymouth”) is a member of the Company, the Company shall not issue Additional Units without the consent of Plymouth that would cause Plymouth to hold less than 51.00% of the Class A Membership Interest.

ARTICLE XIII

ASSIGNABILITY AND SUBSTITUTE MEMBERS

Section 13.1 Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)      No Holder shall sell or otherwise Transfer any of its Units (whether now held or hereafter acquired), except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of any of a Holder’s Units in violation of the terms of this Agreement will be null, void and of no effect and the proposed transferee shall not be recognized by the Company as the owner or holder of the Units attempted to be Transferred or any rights pertaining thereto (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to allocations and distributions).

(b)      Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Transfer of a Class A Unit may be made without the consent of the Manager, which may be withheld in his sole discretion.

(c)      The Units are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Rule 144 is not presently available for any sale of any Unit, and there is no assurance it will become available in the future even if a public market for the Units were to develop. If and when Rule 144 does become available for sales of the Units, such sale of the Units in reliance upon Rule 144 could be made only in accordance with all the conditions of that Rule. The Company has no obligation to register the Units under the Securities Act, or supply the information required for sales under Rule 144 or permit or facilitate sales under Regulation A or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act.

(d)      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2, no Transfer of Units shall be effective unless and until a) the transferee has executed a counterpart of this Agreement and deliver such counterpart to the Company and b) the Transfer is made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and qualification under applicable state securities laws, or the transferee has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, in its sole discretion, that such registration and qualification are not required.

Section 13.2 Permitted Transfers.

(a)      A Member who is a natural person may Transfers Units (i) to members of such Member’s immediate family, which shall include his parents, siblings, spouse,

22
 

children and grandchildren or trusts for the benefit of such Persons, irrespective of the age of the beneficiaries of such trusts (collectively, an “Estate Planning Transfer”), and (ii) upon such Member’s death to the legal representatives of his estate and any subsequent disposition by such representatives in accordance with applicable law.

(b)      A Member that is not a natural person may Transfer Units to Affiliates of such Member.

(c)      Any Member which is a partnership may distribute its Units to one or more of its partners.

(d)      Any Member may Transfer Units to any other Member who is already a Holder of such class of Units.

Section 13.3 Substitute Members. Any Transfer of Units shall not entitle the transferee to become a Substitute Member or to be entitled to exercise or receive any of the rights, powers or benefits of a Member other than the right to share in such Profits and Losses, to receive distribution or distributions and to receive such allocation of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar item to which the transferor Member would otherwise be entitled, to the extent assigned, unless the transferor Member designates its transferee to become a Substitute Member and the Board, in its sole and absolute discretion, consents to the admission of such transferee as a Member; and provided further, that such transferee shall not become a Substitute Member without having first executed an instrument satisfactory to the Board, accepting and agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and without having paid to the Company a fee sufficient to cover all reasonable expenses of the Company in connection with such transferee’s admission as a Substitute Member. If a Member Transfers all of its interest in the Company and the transferee of such interest is entitled to become a Substitute Member pursuant to this Article XIII, such transferee shall be admitted to the Company effective immediately prior to the effective date of the Transfer, and, immediately following such admission, the transferor Member shall be deemed to have resigned as a Member of the Company.

Section 13.4 Recognition of Assignment by Company. No Transfer or any part thereof that is in violation of this Article XIII shall be valid or effective, and neither the Company nor its Manager or Members shall recognize the same for the purpose of making distributions pursuant to Article VIII hereof with respect to such assigned interest or part thereof. Neither the Company nor the nonassigning Members shall incur any liability as a result of refusing to make any such distributions to the assignee of any such invalid assignment.

Section 13.5 Effective Date of Transfer. The Company shall, from the effective date of any Transfer, thereafter pay all further distributions on account of the Company interest (or part thereof) so assigned, to the transferee of such interest, or part thereof. As between any Holder and its transferee, Profits and Losses for the Fiscal Year of the Company in which such Transfer occurs shall be apportioned for federal income tax

23
 

purposes in accordance with any convention permitted under §706(d) of the Code and selected by the Manager.

Section 13.6 Indemnification. In the case of Transfer or attempted Transfer of an interest in the Company that has not received the consents required by this Article XIII, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer or assignment shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all costs, liabilities and damages that any of such indemnified Persons may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liability and lawyers’ fees and expenses) as a result of such Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.

ARTICLE XIV

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 14.1 No Dissolution. The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substitute Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 14.2 Events Causing Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs shall be wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a)      The written consent of a Majority in Interest of each Class of Members;

(b)      The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the expiration of any indemnity period or escrow or the payment of any deferred payment relating to such sale;

(c)      The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act.

Section 14.3 Notice of Dissolution. Upon the dissolution of the Company, the Person or Persons appointed by the Board to carry out the winding up of the Company (the “Liquidating Trustee”) shall promptly notify the Members of such dissolution.

Section 14.4 Liquidation. Upon dissolution of the Company, the Liquidating Trustee shall immediately commence to wind up the Company’s affairs; provided, however, that a reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of the Company and the satisfaction of liabilities to creditors so as to enable the Members to minimize the normal losses attendant upon a liquidation. The Holders shall continue to share Profits and Losses during liquidation in the same proportions, as specified in Article VIII hereof as before liquidation. Each Holder shall be furnished with a statement prepared by the Company’s certified public accountants that shall set forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of dissolution.

24
 

(a)      The proceeds of any liquidation shall be distributed, as realized, in the following order and priority:

(i)      To creditors of the Company, including Holders who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of the liabilities of the Company (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), other than liabilities for distributions to Holders; and

(ii)      To the Holders the remaining proceeds of liquidation in accordance with Section 8.4 hereof, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

(b)      If the Liquidating Trustee determines that it is not feasible to liquidate all of the assets of the Company, then the Liquidating Trustee shall cause the Fair Asset Value of the assets not so liquidated to be determined. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation with respect to such assets shall be allocated among the Holders in accordance with Article VIII as though the property were sold for its Fair Asset Value and distribution of any such assets in kind to a Holder shall be considered a distribution of an amount equal to the assets’ Fair Asset Value. Such assets, as so appraised, shall be retained or distributed by the Liquidating Trustee as follows:

(i)      The Liquidating Trustee shall retain assets having a Fair Asset Value equal to the amount by which the net proceeds of liquidated assets are not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 14.4. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Liquidating Trustee shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have the right to distribute property subject to liens at the value of the Company’s equity therein.

(ii)      The remaining assets (including mortgages and other receivables) shall be distributed to the Holders in such proportions as shall be equal to the respective amounts to which each Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 8.4 hereof giving full effect in the calculation thereof to any previous distributions made pursuant to this Section 14.4. If, in the sole and absolute judgment of the Liquidating Trustee, it shall not be feasible to distribute to each Holder an equal fractional share of each asset, the Liquidating Trustee may allocate and distribute specific assets to one or more Holders as tenants-in-common as the Liquidating Trustee shall determine to be fair and equitable.

(c)      No Holder shall have the right to demand or receive property other than cash upon dissolution and termination of the Company.

Section 14.5 Termination. The Company and this Agreement shall terminate when all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Holders in the manner provided for in this Article XIV, and the Certificate shall have been canceled in the manner required by the Delaware Act.

25
 

Section 14.6 Claims of the Holders. Holders shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Holders shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Holder or the Managers or Officers.

ARTICLE XV

NONDISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION

No Holder may (a) disclose to any Person any Non-Public Information for any reason or purpose whatsoever or (b) make use of any such Non-Public Information for his own purpose or for the benefit of any Person except the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Non-Public Information” shall mean any information relating to the Company, its clients or customers or the business conducted or proposed to be conducted by them that the Holder may obtain or have access to, except for (i) information which is in the public domain at the time of its receipt by the Holder; and (ii) information which, after its receipt by the Holder, becomes part of the public domain due to no improper act or omission of the Holder. The foregoing provisions of this Article XV shall not preclude the use or disclosure by the Holder of Non-Public Information (x) in the performance of its rights or obligations hereunder or as an employee of the Company, except to the extent that such use or disclosure conflicts with policies or procedures developed by the Manager or (y) to the extent required by applicable law or court order.

Section 16.3 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative and the use of any one right or remedy by any party shall not preclude or waive its Tight to use any or all other remedies.
