ARTICLE 3.
MEMBERS’ CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS
     3.1. Initial Capital Contributions. The Members have made, as of the date of this Agreement, Capital Contributions to the Company, as reflected in the Company’s books and records, in the aggregate amounts set forth on Schedule I attached hereto, which amount includes, but is not limited to, the amount on account of the Merger Expenses, the consideration payable in the CRT/DRA Merger and the contributions made prior to and pursuant to the UPREIT Restructuring.
     3.2. Additional Capital Contributions.
          (a) The Members acknowledge that the Company may need additional funds from time to time in excess of the amounts contributed by the Members pursuant to Section 3.1 in order to accomplish the purposes set forth in Article 2. In the event that the Manager determines in its reasonable discretion that additional capital is required, it shall send a written notice (the “Call Notice”) to each Member stating the aggregate amount of the additional capital required (the “Capital Call”) and the purpose for which such additional capital is required. Each Member shall within five (5) Business Days from the date of the Call Notice (the “Call Period”) contribute to the Company in cash its Ratable Share of the Capital Call.
          (b) If a Member fails to contribute an amount (the “Default Amount”) equal to its Ratable Share of the Capital Call within the Call Period (the “Failing Member”), and if any other Member (the “Non-Failing Member”) has made its entire required contribution, then, subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(d), each of the Non-Failing Members may at the Non-Failing Member’s option, but need not, (i) elect to withdraw from the Company its most recent Capital Contribution made pursuant to Section 3.2(a), in which case the Company shall promptly repay the amount of such withdrawn contribution to the Non-Failing Member, or (ii) advance the amount of the additional Capital Contribution in an amount equal to the Default Amount (a “Default Capital Contribution”). Each Non-Failing Member shall have the right to make the Default Capital Contribution in an amount equal to the Default Amount multiplied by the Non-Failing Member’s Ratable Share divided by the sum of the Ratable Shares of all Non-Failing Members that agree to make such Default Capital Contribution, or in such other proportion as the

-16-


 

Non-Failing Members shall agree. The payment of a Default Capital Contribution shall not modify the Percentage Interests of the Members.
          (c) In the event any Non-Failing Member elects pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(ii) to make a Default Capital Contribution to the Company, then the Default Capital Contribution made by such Non-Failing Member shall be entitled to a preferred return (the “Default Preferred Return”) on such Non-Failing Member’s Default Capital Contribution Balance at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, compounded monthly.
          (d) If the Manager proposes that the Company acquire a new Property (an “Acquisition”) or develop any of the Properties identified on Exhibit F attached hereto (a “Development”), the Manager shall send a notice (an “Acquisition Notice” or “Development Notice”, as the case may be) to Colonial describing the Acquisition or Development, as the case may be, and providing a good faith estimate of the anticipated costs and possible sources and terms for the required equity and/or debt financing. Colonial shall, within fifteen (15) days from the date of the Acquisition Notice or Development Notice, elect whether or not to participate in such Acquisition or Development. If Colonial does not timely elect in writing to participate in such Acquisition or Development, it shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the Acquisition or Development. If Colonial elects to participate in an Acquisition or Development, the Manager shall have the right to cause the Company to take such actions as are necessary to consummate the Acquisition or Development (whether or not such actions are consistent with the terms of the Acquisition Notice or Development Notice) and DRA and Colonial shall each be required to contribute its Ratable Share of each Capital Call in connection with the Acquisition or Development within the Call Period (whether or not such capital requirements are consistent with the terms of the Acquisition Notice or Development Notice). If Colonial elects not to participate in an Acquisition or Development, then (a) in the case of an Acquisition, DRA or any Person designated by DRA shall have the right to acquire the property which was the subject of the Acquisition Notice and neither the Company, Colonial nor any Colonial Person shall have any rights or liabilities with respect to such property and (b) in the case of a Development, DRA shall have the authority, subject to any contractual restrictions, to cause the Company (or the applicable subsidiary of the Company) to transfer the Property or the Company’s direct or indirect interest in such Property, as determined by DRA, to a Person designated by DRA and, in such event, DRA shall pay to Colonial an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the value of the Company’s interest allocated to such Property as of the date of this Agreement, less any debt encumbering the Property or the Company’s interest therein and neither the Company, Colonial nor any Colonial Person shall have any further rights or liabilities with respect to such Property and its development arising from and after such transfer. Colonial acknowledges and agrees that it will not have any rights or claims against the Company in connection with such Acquisition or Development, whether or not the Acquisition or Development was consummated in a manner consistent with the Acquisition Notice or Development Notice. In the event the transfer of the Property or the Company’s interest in such Property is not permitted due to restrictions in an agreement encumbering such Property or the Company’s interest in such Property, the Company shall take all reasonable steps available to treat the Company’s interest as having been transferred to the Person designated by DRA. In the event that any Member fails to contribute its Ratable Share of a Capital Call in connection with an Acquisition or Development by the Company, and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice by the Manager, the non-defaulting Member shall have the right, in addition to any other rights available to the non-

-17-


 

defaulting Member, to cause the Company to transfer for no consideration all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to such Acquisition or Development to any Person designated by such non-defaulting Member, and neither the Company or the defaulting Member shall have any rights or liabilities with respect to such Acquisition or Development.
          (e) The Company shall not issue any additional Membership Interests, other than Preferred Units issued in accordance with the provisions of this Section (including, Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units to correspond to a class of preferred stock that DRA may issue to accommodation stockholders in exchange for a cash contribution to the Company), without the consent of each Member. In the event that the Manager determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to issue one or more series of Preferred Units that entitle the holder to receive non-participating dividends at a fixed rate in preference to the Common Units held by the Members and to receive an amount in liquidation equal to the amount paid to purchase such Preferred Units plus accrued and unpaid dividends in preference to the distributions payable to the Members, without any other participation rights, the Manager shall first afford each Member the opportunity to subscribe for its Ratable Share (and any portion of the Ratable Share of any other Member that does not elect to subscribe to its full Ratable Share) of such additional Preferred Units on the same terms as the Manager proposes to offer such Preferred Units to such other Person, by furnishing each Member with a notice of the terms of such proposed issuance and the proposed use of the proceeds thereof; provided, however, that the Manager shall have the right to authorize and issue Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units without offering the Members an opportunity to subscribe for such Preferred Units. The Members shall, within fifteen (15) days after the date of such notice, elect whether or not to subscribe for such Preferred Units. If a Member does not timely elect in writing to subscribe, it shall be deemed to have declined to subscribe and the Manager shall be entitled to cause the Company to issue such Preferred Units substantially on the terms set forth in such notice within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date of such notice without again complying with the provisions of this Section. Upon consummation of the UPREIT Restructuring and the Merger Transactions, the Company has issued to DRA 2,990,000 units of 81/2% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Membership Units (“Series A Preferred Units”), the terms and conditions of which are set forth in Attachment G attached hereto and made part hereof, and has reserved for issuance Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Membership Units (“Series B Preferred Units”).
     3.3. Interest and Right to Property. Except as provided herein, (i) no Member shall be paid interest on any Capital Contribution, nor shall any Member have the right to take and receive property other than cash in return for its Capital Contribution and (ii) no Member shall receive any salary or draw with respect to its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or for services rendered on behalf of the Company or otherwise in its capacity as a Member.
     3.4. Capital Accounts.
          (a) A separate capital account (“Capital Account”) shall be maintained in accordance with the following provisions:
          (i) To each Member’s Capital Account there shall be credited (x) such Member’s Capital Contributions to the Company, (y) such Member’s distributive share of

-18-


 

Profits, and any items in the nature of income or gain that are specially allocated pursuant to Article 9 (other than Sections 9.1(c) or 9.1(d)), and (z) the amount of any Company liabilities assumed by such Member or which are secured by any Company property distributed to said Member.
          (ii) To each Member’s Capital Account there shall be debited (x) the amount of cash and the fair market value of any Company property (net of any liabilities to which such property is subject or assumed by the Member) distributed to such Member pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, (y) such Member’s distributive share of Losses, and any items in the nature of expenses or losses that are specially allocated pursuant to Article 9 (other than Sections 9.1(c) or 9.1(d)), and (z) the amount of any liability of such Member assumed by the Company or which are secured by any property contributed by such Member to the Company.
          (b) In the event any interest in the Company is transferred 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 interest.
          (c) The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Treasury Regulations, including the making of adjustments required or permitted by such Treasury Regulations in addition to those specified in 3.4(a). In the event that the Accountants determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any increases or decreases thereto, are computed in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, they shall recommend to the Manager that such modification be made. The Manager shall make such modification if such modification shall not have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member. The Manager may, upon the sale or other issuance of Membership Interests, the making of additional Capital Contributions, or at such other times as is permitted by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), adjust the Book Value of the Company’s assets pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect their then fair market value, and in such event the Capital Account of each Member shall be adjusted to reflect that Member’s share of unrealized gain or loss, as provided in Article 9, as if such property had been sold for its then fair market value as determined by the Manager.
     3.5. Computation of Amounts. For purposes of computing the amount of any item of Profit or Losses to be reflected in Capital Accounts, the determination, recognition and classification of each such item shall be the same as its determination, recognition and classification for Federal income tax purposes; provided that:
          (a) any income that is exempt from Federal income tax shall be added to such taxable income or losses;
          (b) any expenditures of the Company described in Section 705(a)(2)(B) of the Code, or treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(i) of the Treasury Regulations, shall be subtracted from such taxable income or losses;

-19-


 

          (c) if the Book Value of any property of the Company is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(e) (in connection with a distribution of such property) or (f) (in connection with a revaluation of Capital Accounts) of the Treasury Regulations, the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as Profit or Losses, from the disposition of such property;
          (d) if property that is reflected on the books of the Company has a Book Value that differs from the adjusted tax basis of such property, depreciation, amortization and gain or loss with respect to such property shall be determined by reference to such Book Value, and
          (e) the computation of all items of Profit and Losses shall be made without regard to any election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code that may be made by the Company, unless the adjustment to basis of property of the Company pursuant to such election is reflected in Capital Accounts pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Treasury Regulations.
     3.6. No Withdrawal from Capital Accounts. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no Member shall be permitted to make any withdrawals from its Capital Account.
     3.7. Guarantee Obligation. If any Member or an Affiliate of any Member enters into a guaranty of a loan or other indemnity obligation (the “Guaranteed Obligation”) in favor of a lender of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company with the consent of the Members (the “Guaranteeing Party”), including without limitation the guaranty or letter of credit issued by G&I V REIT in connection with the Ravinia and ACP Financing as described below in Section 3.8(a), any Member who is not a Guaranteeing Party or an Affiliate of a Guaranteeing Party (a “Non-Guaranteeing Member”) shall be responsible for its Ratable Share of the Guaranteed Obligation, except that no Member shall be responsible for misfeasance or malfeasance attributable to the actions or inactions of another Member or its Affiliates. If the Company is unable or does not pay any such Guaranteed Obligation when such Guaranteed Obligation becomes due and payable, the Guaranteeing Party shall provide written notice of such non-payment to the Non-Guaranteeing Member as soon as practicable after becoming aware of such non-payment. If, thereafter, the Guaranteeing Party pays all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligation either (a) with the consent of the other Member or (b) because, in its reasonable determination, the Guaranteeing Party is required to make such payment, then the Non-Guaranteeing Member shall reimburse the Guaranteeing Party the Non-Guaranteeing Member’s Ratable Share of the amount paid within ten (10) days of written demand. If, within such ten (10) day period, the Non-Guaranteeing Member (or its Affiliate) has not paid its share of the portion of the Guaranteed Obligation paid by the Guaranteeing Party, then the Company (and the Guaranteeing Party shall have the authority to so cause the Company to act) shall pay to the Guaranteeing Party from the Cash Flow and Capital Proceeds that are distributable to the Non-Guaranteeing Party the amounts payable to the Guaranteeing Party under this Section 3.7 (such amounts shall be treated as first having been distributed to the Non-Guaranteeing Member and then paid to the Guaranteeing Party). Any amounts paid by the Guaranteeing Party shall accrue interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) per year commencing ten (10) days after the later of (x) the date such amounts have been paid and (y) the date on which the Guaranteeing Party notified the Non-Guaranteeing Member of the amount paid on account of the Guaranteed Obligation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms of this Section 3.7 shall

-20-


 

not apply to a guaranty entered into by Colonial Realty Limited Partnership in connection with the Colonial Financing.
     3.8. Reimbursement and Repayment Obligations.
          (a) The Company shall indemnify and hold G&I V REIT harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities to which G&I V REIT may become subject arising out of or in connection with the loan commitment letter or the indemnity made by G&I V REIT therein. In connection with the Ravinia and ACP Financing, the Company shall reimburse G&I V REIT for any and all amounts paid by G&I V REIT in connection with such guaranty and/or letter of credit and no distributions of Cash Flow or Capital Proceeds to the Members shall be permitted at any time amounts are due and payable under such reimbursement agreement (“Ravinia and ACP Financing Expenses”).
          (b) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, upon the sale of (A) all of Colonial’s Membership Interests pursuant to either Sections 7.8, 7.10 or 7.12 of this Agreement or, to the extent DRA is the Offering Member, Section 7.11 of this Agreement or (B) all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Company shall repay in full all outstanding indebtedness (including accrued but unpaid interest) incurred by the Company in connection with the Colonial Financing.

The “Maximum Salary Reimbursement Amount” shall mean, for any calendar year, the sum of all Non-Reimbursed Salary Amounts paid by the Company or an Affiliate of the Company under a Colonial Management Agreement up to a maximum of $500,000. The Manager and Colonial shall determine the allocation of such $500,000 limit among the Properties in the event the Non-Reimbursed Salary Amounts for all such Properties exceed $500,000 in a calendar year. If a Colonial Management Agreement for a Property listed on Exhibit E terminates, the $500,000 limit shall be reduced pro rata in proportion to the reduction of the square footage of the Properties listed on Exhibit E managed by the Colonial Property Manager.
          (b) Colonial acknowledges the importance to DRA and the Company that the Colonial Property Managers be properly staffed at all times so that the Colonial Property Managers may perform their obligations under the respective Colonial Management Agreements with diligence and a high degree of skill and care. Colonial also acknowledges that continuing the employment after the closing of the Merger Transactions of many of the property level and corporate level employees involved with the management and operation of the Properties is important to the ongoing smooth and proper management and operation of the Properties listed on Exhibit E. DRA acknowledges that regardless of whether Colonial Property Managers or their Affiliates hired any employees formerly employed by CRT or its Affiliates, any and all

-24-


 

severance payments payable to former employees of CRT or any of its Affiliates pursuant to employment, severance or other similar agreements or arrangements between such employee and CRT or such CRT Affiliate shall be expenses of the Company and neither Colonial nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligations whatsoever with respect to such payments, other than in its capacity as a Member of the Company.
          (c) If Manager terminates Without Cause a Colonial Management Agreement, and following such termination the aggregate management fees that were received under all remaining Colonial Management Agreements (taking into account the prior termination Without Cause of other Colonial Management Agreements) during the twelve calendar months immediately preceding the effective date of such termination is less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate management fees projected for the first year of the Company’s operation (the “Projected Management Fee Base”), which Projected Management Fee Base is subject to increase or decrease, as the case may be, by the increase or decrease in projected management fees caused solely by the sale or purchase of Properties, then Colonial shall be entitled to elect to have its entire Membership Interest purchased pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.12. A termination “Without Cause” shall mean a termination not for any of the following reasons: fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence or material breach of an obligation under a Management Agreement which breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days of notice thereof or the Bankruptcy of the Colonial Property Manager.
          (d) Colonial shall have the exclusive power and authority to negotiate leases, and to cause the Company to cause leases to be executed, with respect to space in the Properties in which a Colonial Property Manager is the property manager, on terms and conditions consistent with the leasing guidelines contained in the Operating Plan for such Property approved by Manager from time to time; provided, however, nothing herein shall be deemed authority for Colonial to incur amounts on behalf of the Company other than as expressly set forth in an Operating Plan or to approve leases, without the Manager’s consent, which (i) cover in excess of 5,000 square feet of space, (ii) grant a tenant an option to expand or purchase option, (iii) require landlord to provide any service not typically provided to tenants of similar space at the applicable Property, (iv) are on economic terms not contemplated by the applicable Operating Plan, (v) contain material adverse modifications to a Property’s standard lease form or (vi) violate the terms of any agreement binding the Property, the Company or any Affiliate of the Company. Colonial shall copy Manager on all lease proposals, letters of intent and lease documents sent to and received from prospective tenants.
          (e) Except as provided in Section 5.2(f), provided that Colonial Persons have a Percentage Interest equal to or greater than fifteen percent (15%) (except to the extent reduced as a result of sale of Membership Interests pursuant to Section 7.8 or Section 7.10(d)), and further provided each Colonial Property Manager is substantially in compliance with the terms of all Colonial Management Agreements then in effect, the Company shall not enter into a new property management agreement with respect to any Property that is acquired by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (excluding any property acquired for development or redevelopment) subsequent to the date of this Agreement (or as to which the existing management agreement with a third party manager expires or terminates after the date of this Agreement), unless the Manager, on behalf of the Company, first offers to Colonial the opportunity for a Colonial Property Manager to manage such Property on substantially the same

-25-


 

terms on which the Company intends to offer a third party property manager to manage such Property. Such offer (each a “Management Offer”) shall be made in writing and shall set forth all material terms thereof. Colonial shall accept such Management Offer, if at all, within fifteen (15) days from the date it receives the Management Offer. If Colonial does not accept such Management Offer in writing within such fifteen (15) day period, then it shall be deemed to have declined the Management Offer and the Company shall have the right to enter into a property management agreement with any other third party, provided, however, that if the Company agrees to pay such third party a management fee in excess of one hundred and five percent (105%) of the management fee set forth in the Management Offer, then the Company must submit a revised Management Offer to Colonial and the procedures set forth above shall be repeated. If Colonial accepts the Management Offer then the Company and the Colonial Property Manager shall enter into a property management agreement on the terms set forth in the Management Offer and otherwise consistent with the Colonial Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the Company shall be permitted, without having to provide Colonial with a Management Offer, to retain any existing property manager at a Property or hire any party required, in the Manager’s reasonable determination, as part of the acquisition of a new Property, including without limitation a property manager the Company is requested to hire by its joint venture partner, or as the Company may otherwise be contractually obligated.
          (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2(e) above, (i) in the event that the existing third-party manager for either of the Properties known as Las Olas Centre, Fort Lauderdale, Florida and Atlantic Center Plaza, Atlanta, Georgia, desires to terminate the property management agreement for any such Property, the Manager shall cooperate with such third-party manager to effectuate the termination of such agreement in accordance with its terms and (ii) Colonial shall have the right to enter into property management agreements for each such Property for a management fee of 2.5% of the monthly “Gross Income,” as defined in the Colonial Management Agreement, and on terms otherwise consistent with the Colonial Management Agreement.
     5.3. Reimbursement for Company Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenditures incident to its formation. The Manager shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably paid or incurred by it in connection with the discharge of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation Merger Expenses and expenses incurred by it or any DRA Person in connection with due diligence, negotiation and administration of the Merger Agreement, closing of the Merger Transactions and management of the Company (including travel expenses) or otherwise reasonably paid and incurred by it on behalf of the Company. The Manager shall not be reimbursed for any costs or expenses relating to the general operation of its business. Colonial shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably paid or incurred by any Colonial Person in connection with the discharge of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation Merger Expenses and expenses incurred by it or any Colonial Person in connection with due diligence, negotiation and administration of the Merger Agreement and closing of the Merger Transactions (including travel expenses) or otherwise reasonably paid and incurred by it on behalf of the Company. Colonial shall not be reimbursed for any costs or expenses relating to the general operation of its business or for any costs or expenses of or incurred by a Colonial Property Manager or its Affiliates in connection with

     5.4. Major Decisions. Notwithstanding the grant of authority to the Manager under Section 5.1 hereof, without the prior written approval of each Member that is an Affiliate of either Colonial REIT or G&I V REIT, the Manager shall not:
          (i) Do any act in contravention of this Agreement;
          (ii) Employ, or permit the Company to employ, the funds or assets of the Company in any manner except for the exclusive benefit of the Company;
          (iii) Perform any act which would, at the time such act occurred, subject any Member to liability as a Member in any jurisdiction;
          (iv) Cause the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) to sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of a Property or the interest of the Company and its subsidiaries therein for consideration other than cash;
          (v) Cause a Refinancing of the Chase Financing, on a Property by Property basis, in an amount less than the original principal amount of the Chase Financing allocated to each such Property;

          (viii) Cause the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) to consent to or otherwise suffer to exist any plan of reorganization or liquidation in connection with any Bankruptcy, reorganization, debt arrangement or any dissolution, winding up or liquidation proceeding that would involve the receipt by the Members or the Company (or any subsidiary of the Company) of consideration other than cash;
          (ix) Enter into any lease covering in excess of 5,000 square feet of space; or
          (x) Approve the annual operating and capital plan with respect to any Property (other than those managed by a Colonial Property Manager, approval of which shall be subject to the terms of the applicable Colonial Management Agreement) (any such plan, the “Operating Plan”).

     5.5. Duties; Reliance. In carrying out its duties, obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement, the Manager shall refrain from engaging in grossly negligent or reckless conduct or intentional misconduct or any knowing violation of law. In discharging its duties, the Manager shall be fully protected to the extent permitted by law in relying in good faith upon the records maintained by the Company in the ordinary course of its business and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements by any of the Members or any agents of the Company, or by any other Person, as to matters the Manager reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence. The Manager has no fiduciary or other duty to the Members except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.
     5.6. Manager’s Time. The Manager and its directors, officers and employees, shall devote to the affairs of the Company so much of their time as they, in their discretion, deem necessary or advisable properly to carry on the Company’s business. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the Manager shall not receive any salary or similar fees in connection with its services hereunder.
     5.7. No Liability; Indemnity. No Member shall have any personal liability for the repayment of the Capital Contribution of any Member. No Member shall be liable, responsible or accountable to the Company or any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted pursuant to the authority granted to it hereunder or by law, or for any claim, loss, damage, liability or expense (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees), resulting from the performance of its duties hereunder except in the case of gross negligence or bad faith. The Company shall indemnify the Manager and any Member and hold it harmless from any claim, loss, damage, liability or expense (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees), incurred or sustained by it by reason of any act performed by it or any omission by it for or on behalf of the Company, except in the case of gross negligence or bad faith, consistent with the requirements of Sections 5.1 and 5.5, but this indemnity shall not require the Members to make any Capital Contribution therefor.
     5.8. Reliance by Third Parties. Third parties dealing with the Company may rely conclusively upon the power and authority of the Manager to act as set forth herein and shall not be required to inquire into or ascertain the authority of the Manager so to act.

The fact that a Member, regardless of whether such Member is a Manager, or any member of his family or any Affiliate thereof, as the case may be, is employed by, or is directly or indirectly interested in or connected with, any Person with which the Company transacts business shall not prohibit the Manager from dealing

-28-


 

with such Person on market rate terms, and neither the Company nor any Members thereof, as such, shall have any rights in such Person, or to any income, profits or losses derived therefrom. The duties of the Manager hereunder shall not prevent it from rendering similar services to other Persons, firms, trusts, corporations or other entities.

     5.11. Appointment of Successor Managers. If the Manager ceases to serve as a manager for any reason, a successor Manager shall be appointed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.11.

If DRA Persons do not have an aggregate Percentage Interest that is greater than the aggregate Percentage Interests then held by Colonial Persons, the successor Manager shall be the Member that, together with its Affiliates, holds the greatest Percentage Interests and, within such group, shall be the Member with the greatest Percentage Interest. The successor Manager shall execute and deliver an instrument agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to the “Manager.” If such Member with the greatest Percentage Interest does not agree to serve as the successor Manager, the successor Manager shall be a Member elected by Members holding a majority of the Percentage Interests. In the event that a successor Manager will not be a DRA Person, then each Member that is not an Affiliate of the successor Manager shall be entitled to elect to have their entire Membership Interest purchased pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.12. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, DRA shall not be permitted to transfer its managerial interest in the Company to any Person other than an Affiliate of a DRA Person or in connection with a Transfer of Membership Interests pursuant to this Section 5.11.

No such assignment will be permitted without Manager consent unless (a) the Manager receives at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the effective date of such assignment, (b) such assignment is not prohibited by the documents evidencing or securing any loan encumbering any Property or the interest of the Company in such Property and would not cause a default under such documents, (c) the assignor pays any transfer or other taxes incurred pursuant to such assignment, and (d) the assignor pays any cost or expense required to be paid to any lender of any Property or the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company in connection with such assignment; or
               (iii) a Transfer pursuant to Sections 7.10 or 7.12.
     7.5. Substituted Members. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding:
          (a) No successor-in-interest of a Member and no assignee or transferee of all or any part of a Member’s Membership Interest shall be admitted to the Company as a Member except upon compliance with the provisions of Section 7.4 and, in addition, only after:
           (i) submitting to the Manager a duly executed and acknowledged counterpart of the instrument or instruments making such transfer, together with such other instrument or instruments, including, but not limited to, a counterpart of this Agreement as it then may have been amended, signifying such transferee’s agreement to be bound by all of the provisions of the Agreement, including, but not limited to, the restrictions upon transfers of interests therein and thereto, all of the foregoing in such form and substance as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Manager; and
           (ii) agreeing to bear all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees of the Company, incurred in effecting such substitution.

-35-


 

but not limited to, transferring such Membership Interest upon the books thereof and executing, acknowledging and causing to be filed any necessary or desirable amendment to this Agreement and the Certificate of Formation.
          (b) No Transfer shall be effective if in the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, such admission:
           (i) would jeopardize the treatment of the Company as a limited liability company for Federal income tax purposes,
           (ii) would cause the Company to be treated as a “publicly traded” company under Code Sections 469(k) or 7704(b), or
           (iii) would violate, or cause the Company to violate, any applicable law or governmental rule or regulation.
          (c) No Transfer to a minor or incompetent shall be effective in any respect.
          (d) No interests in the Company shall be issued in a transaction that is (or transactions that are) registered or required to be registered under the Securities Act of 1933.
          (e) Any admission (or purported admission) of a Member and any Transfer (or purported Transfer) of all or part of a Member’s interest (or any interest or right or attribute therein) in the Company, whether to another Member or to a third party, shall not be effective, and no Person shall otherwise become a Member, if the Company would or may have more than 100 Members. For purposes of determining the number of Members under the preceding sentence, each Person indirectly owning an interest through a partnership, a limited liability company that is taxed as a partnership, a grantor trust or an S corporation shall be treated as a Member.
     7.6. Non-Complying Transfers. Any assignment, sale, exchange or other Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Article 7 shall be void and ineffectual, and shall not bind or be recognized by the Company.
     7.7. Obligations of Successors. Any Person who acquires an interest in the Company by assignment or is admitted to the Company as a Substituted Member shall be subject to and bound by all the provisions of this Agreement as if originally a party to this Agreement.

If a Member holding a majority of the Membership Interests shall receive an offer in writing from any Person who is not an Affiliate of such Member (a “Third Party Offeror”) to purchase all of such Member’s Membership Interests in an arm’s length transaction (an “Acquisition Proposal”) and such Member desires to accept the Acquisition Proposal, such Member may require that the other Members sell, at the same time, all of their Membership Interests to the Third Party Offeror upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that the total net consideration paid by the Third Party Offeror for the Membership Interests shall be for cash and allocated among the Members in proportion to the amounts that each Member would have received if, in lieu of purchasing the Membership Interests, (i) the Third Party Offeror had directly purchased the

-36-


 

Properties pursuant to the applicable terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and (ii) the Company then liquidated in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.3 hereof.
     7.9. Intentionally Omitted.
     7.10. Right of First Offer.
          (a) Grant of Right of First Offer. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.10(i) below, each Member is hereby irrevocably granted a right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) to purchase all or any portion of the Membership Interests of the other Member on the terms set forth in this Section 7.10.
          (b) Notice of Intent to Sell. If a Member decides, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to market or sell all or a portion of its Membership Interest (such Member seeking a sale is hereinafter referred to as the “Selling Party”), such Selling Party shall give written notice to the other Member (“Non-Selling Member”) of its intention to sell all or a portion of its Membership Interest (a “Sale Notice”). The Sale Notice shall set forth the proposed sale price for the Selling Party’s Membership Interest being sold (the “Offer Price”) and the proposed closing date.
          (c) Response Period. Non-Selling Member shall have thirty (30) days after delivery of the Sale Notice (the “Response Period”) to give written notice to the Selling Party electing either to (i) accept Selling Party’s offer of the Offer Price (an “Acceptance Notice”), (ii) reject Selling Party’s offer of the Offer Price (a “Rejection Notice”), or (iii) require that the Membership Interest of the Non-Selling Member be sold to the prospective buyer on a Pro Rata Basis with the sale of the Selling Party’s Membership Interest on substantially the same terms and conditions that the Selling Party will sell to such buyer (a “Tag Along Notice”). If Non-Selling Member fails to deliver either an Acceptance Notice (together with the deposit required by Section 7.10(d)), a Rejection Notice or a Tag Along Notice within the Response Period, then Non-Selling Member shall be deemed to have delivered a Rejection Notice to Selling Party.
          (d) Tag-Along Rights. If Non-Selling Member delivers a Tag Along Notice to Selling Party in accordance with Section 7.10(c) hereof, the Selling Party may only sell the portion of its Membership Interest to be sold if the buyer has offered to the Non-Selling Member to enter into an agreement to buy Non-Selling Member’s Membership Interest on a Pro Rata Basis substantially on the same terms and conditions on which the Selling Party is selling its Membership Interest to the buyer.
          (e) Acceptance of Offer. If Non-Selling Member delivers an Acceptance Notice to Selling Party in accordance with Section 7.10(c) hereof, then simultaneously with delivery of the Acceptance Notice, Non-Selling Member shall deliver a deposit to the Escrow Agent in the amount of five percent (5%) of the Offer Price (by check or wire transfer to the order of the Escrow Agent) and, in the Acceptance Notice, designate a closing date, time and place which shall be not less than thirty (30) and not more than ninety (90) days from the date of the Acceptance Notice.
          (f) Defaults.

               (ii) The closing of a sale and purchase of a Membership Interest pursuant to this Section 7.10 shall be subject to receipt of lender consent if lender consent is required and the release from all lenders of loans secured by the Membership Interests or any of the Properties or the Company’s interests in any of the Properties.
          (h) Rejection of Offer. If Non-Selling Member delivers or is deemed to have delivered a Rejection Notice to Selling Party, then Selling Party shall have the right to sell its Membership Interest to any other Person (the “Third-Party Purchaser”), subject to the restrictions and conditions set forth in this Article 7, provided that (1) such sale is for no less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Offer Price and (2) the sale to the Third-Party Purchaser is consummated or in contract within nine (9) months of the delivery or deemed delivery of the Rejection Notice. If Selling Party fails to make a sale to or contract with the Third-Party Purchaser that satisfies the conditions in clauses (1) and (2), then Selling Party shall not have the authority to consummate a sale to a Third-Party Purchaser without first delivering a new Sale Notice to Non-Selling Member.

The Buy-Sell Notice shall constitute a demand that the Responding Member (or its designee) either: (i) purchase all the Offering Member’s Membership Interest for an amount equal to the amount the Offering Member would have received if the Company had sold all of its assets for the Valuation Amount and then liquidated (the “Sell-Out Price”) or (ii) sell to the Offering Member all of the Responding Member’s Membership Interest at a price equal to the amount the Responding Member would have received if the Company had sold all of its assets for the Valuation Amount and then liquidated (the “Buy-Out Price”).
          (b) The Buy-Sell Notice shall set forth the Valuation Amount, the Sell-Out Price, and the closing date, time, and place, which closing date shall be not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days from the date of the Buy-Sell Notice (unless mutually agreed otherwise by the Members). The Offering Member shall, simultaneously with the delivery of the Buy-Sell Notice, deposit in escrow, with an Escrow Agent pursuant to the customary escrow agreement of Escrow Agent, an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Valuation Amount. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Buy-Sell Notice (the “Election Period”), the Responding Member shall notify the Offering Member and the Escrow Agent in writing of its election to buy or sell (the “Election Notice”) pursuant to the Buy-Sell Notice. If the Responding Member elects to sell the Responding Member’s Membership Interest to the Offering Member, then the closing shall take place on the date and at the time and place set forth in the Buy-Sell Notice (or on any rescheduled closing date that shall have been agreed upon by the Offering Member and the Responding Member).

-40-


 

rescheduled closing date that shall have been agreed upon by the Offering Member and the Responding Member) despite a tender of performance by the Offering Member (a “Responding Member Failure to Close”), the Offering Member may elect either to (x) retain the Responding Member’s deposit as liquidated damages and as its sole remedy for such default, in which case the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Responding Member’s deposit to the Offering Member and thereafter the Responding Member shall not have the right to send a Buy-Sell Notice, or (y) within thirty (30) days after the closing date designated by the Responding Member in the Election Notice (or after any rescheduled closing date that shall have been agreed upon by the Offering Member and the Responding Member), to purchase the Responding Member’s Membership Interest by (i) depositing in escrow, with the Escrow Agent, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Buy-Out Price, reduced as hereinafter provided, and (ii) simultaneously notifying the Responding Member of the closing date, time, and place for the Offering Member’s purchase of the Responding Member’s Membership Interest, which closing date shall be not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the Offering Member so notifies the Responding Member of the Offering Member’s election to so purchase the Responding Member’s Membership Interest. If the Offering Member so elects to purchase the Responding Member’s Membership Interest, the Escrow Agent shall return the Responding Member’s deposit to the Responding Member, and the Responding Member shall be obligated to sell its Membership Interest to the Offering Member on the terms and conditions stated in the Buy-Sell Notice, except that the Buy-Out Price shall be reduced by ten percent (10%).

-44-


 

Option (the “Put Notice”). The failure to timely deliver an unconditional exercise of the Put Option shall be deemed an election by the Put Member not to exercise the Put Option. If the Put Triggering Event was the occurrence of an event described in Section 5.2(c), the purchase of the Put Member’s Membership Interest shall be at a price equal to the amount, as determined by the Accountants, the Put Member would receive based on its Membership Interest were the Company to liquidate all of its assets at their fair market value (as determined in accordance with subsection (c) below) as of the date of the Put Notice. If the Put Triggering Event was the occurrence of an event described in Section 5.11, the purchase of the Put Member’s Membership Interest shall be at a price equal to the per unit price at which the existing Manager and its Affiliates are Transferring their interest to the proposed successor Manager and its Affiliates (in either event, the applicable purchase price for the Put Member’s Membership Interest is hereinafter referred to as the “Put Price”).

The closing shall take place in accordance with the terms of this Section 7.12.
          (b) The closing of the sale pursuant to this Section 7.12 shall occur on the date which is not later than ninety (90) days after the determination of fair market value or at such other time as may be otherwise agreed to in writing by the Put Member and the Manager, subject to and in accordance with the applicable terms of Section 7.10(g).

          (c) The fair market value of each real property owned by the Company shall be the value agreed upon by the Put Member and the Company or if an agreement cannot be reached within thirty days, then within twenty (20) Business Days thereafter the Put Member and the Company shall each select reputable qualified M.A.I. real estate appraiser for each Property having an office in the area in which such Property is located, each such appraiser having no less than ten (10) years experience in the real estate market of such area and each being familiar with the prices then being paid for comparable properties. If either the Put Member or the Company fails to designate its appraisers within such twenty (20) Business Days period and thereafter shall fail to do so within three (3) Business Days after written notice by the other party requesting such designation, then such appraisers shall be appointed by the office of the American Arbitration Association for the City of New York. If the appraisers do not reach agreement within thirty (30) days after the date that the later of them is designated, then they shall meet together with the Put Member and the Company or their representatives, and at such meeting each appraiser shall present to the other a sealed letter setting forth the appraiser’s judgment as to the fair market value of the Property. If the higher amount set forth in either such letter shall not exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the lower amount, then the value for such Property shall be the average of the amount set forth in the two letters. If the higher amount set forth in either of the two letters shall exceed one hundred and five percent (105%) of the lower

-45-


 

amount, then within twenty (20) Business Days thereafter the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser having the same minimum qualifications as the first two. If the first two appraisers shall fail to agree upon the designation of third appraiser, then the third appraiser shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association in the City of New York. The third appraiser shall conduct such investigations and hearings as he shall deem appropriate and within thirty (30) days after his date of designation shall choose one of the appraiser’s valuation, and no other amount, as the fair market value of the Property. The decision of the third appraiser shall be in writing and shall be binding upon the Put Member and the Company.

ARTICLE 9.
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
     9.1. Allocations of Profits and Losses.
          (a) Allocations of Profits and Losses From Cash Flow
               (i) After taking into account any special allocations pursuant to Sections 9.2 through 9.7 and subject to any limitations contained therein, Profits (other than Profits resulting from a Capital Event or Liquidation) shall be allocated among the Members holding Preferred Units or Common Units as follows:
                         (A) First, to the holders of the Preferred Units (and if there are Preferred Units with different preferences in distribution, then in the order of their preferences in distribution) in the same proportions as Losses were allocated to such holders of Preferred Units for the prior fiscal years pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii)(C), until the cumulative amount of Profits allocated to the holders of Preferred Units pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(i)(A) for all fiscal years equals the cumulative Losses allocated to the holders of Preferred Units pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii)(C) for all fiscal years;
                         (B) Then, to the holders of the Preferred Units (and if there are Preferred Units with different preferences in distribution, then in the order of their preferences in distribution) in proportion to the Preferred Return with respect to such Preferred Units, until the cumulative amount of Profits allocated to the holders of Preferred Units pursuant to this Section

-47-


 

9.1(a)(i)(B) for all fiscal years equals the Preferred Return paid or accrued with respect to such Preferred Units for all fiscal years;
                         (C) Then, to the holders of Common Units in the same proportions as Losses were allocated to the holders of Common Units for the prior fiscal years pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii)(B) until the cumulative amount of Profits allocated to the holders of Common Units pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(i)(B) for all fiscal years equals the cumulative Losses allocated to the holders of Common Units pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii)(B) for all fiscal years;
                         (D) Then, to the holders of Common Units in proportion to the Default Preferred Return with respect to such Common Units, until the cumulative amount of Profits allocated to the holders of Common Units pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(i)(D) for all fiscal years equals the Default Preferred Return paid or accrued with respect to such Common Units for all fiscal years; and
                         (E) The balance, if any, to the holders of Common Units, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
               (ii) After taking into account any special allocations pursuant to Sections 9.2 through 9.7 and subject to any limitations contained therein, Losses (other than Losses resulting from a Capital Event or Liquidation) shall be allocated among the Members holding Preferred Units and Common Units as follows:
                         (A) First, to the holders of Common Units in proportion to the Capital Account balances attributable to the Base Capital Contributions until such Capital Account balances have been reduced to zero;
                         (B) Then, to the holders of Common Units in proportion to the Capital Account balances attributable to the Default Capital Contributions until such Capital Account balances have been reduced to zero;
                         (C) Then, to the holders of Preferred Units (and if there are Preferred Units with different preferences in distribution, in the reverse order of their preferences in distribution) in proportion to the Capital Account balances attributable to such Preferred Units until such Capital Account balances have been reduced to zero; and
                         (D) The balance, if any, to the holders of Common Units, pro rata, in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.
               (iii) Solely for purposes of determining the allocations to be made pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii) above, each Member’s Capital Account shall be deemed to be separated into portions attributable to such Member’s (I) Base Capital Contributions, (II) Default Capital Contributions, and (III) Preferred Units, and, such portions shall be calculated as follows:
                         (I) the portion of a Member’s Capital Account attributable to such Member’s Base Capital Contributions shall be equal to the difference of (i) such Member’s

-48-


 

Capital Account, over (ii) the sum of the amounts calculated as provided in Sections (II) and (III) of this subparagraph (iii) with respect to such Member.
                         (II) the portion of a Member’s Capital Account attributable, if at all, to such Member’s Default Capital Contributions shall be credited with (i) any Default Capital Contributions made by such Member and (ii) any allocations made to such Member pursuant to Sections 9.1(a)(i)(C) and (D), and debited with (iii) any allocations made to such Member pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii)(B) and (iv) any distributions made to such Member pursuant to Sections 8.1(b), 8.2(c), and 8.2(d).
                         (III) the portion of a Member’s Capital Account attributable, if at all, to any Preferred Units held by such Member shall be credited with (i) [the aggregate liquidation preference of Preferred Units held by such Member] and (ii) any allocations made to such Member pursuant to Sections 9.1(a)(i)(A) and (B), and debited with (iii) any allocations made to such Member pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(ii)(C), and (iv) any distributions made to such Member pursuant to Sections 8.1(a), 8.2(a), and 8.2(b).
                         (IV) in addition to the adjustments provided for in subparagraphs (I) through (III) of this Section 9.1(a)(iii), such deemed portions shall be credited or debited, as the case may be, with amounts allocated to a Member pursuant to Sections 9.2 through 9.7, to the extent such allocations are attributable to, as the case may be, such Member’s Base Capital Contributions, Default Capital Contributions, or Preferred Units. The Members shall cooperate in good faith in resolving any differences regarding any deemed adjustments made pursuant to this Section 9.1(a)(iii)(IV).
          (b) Allocation of Profits and Losses from a Capital Event or Liquidation. After taking into account any special allocations pursuant to Sections 9.2 through 9.7 and subject to any limitations contained therein, Profits and Losses based on or resulting from a Capital Event or Liquidation or a deemed disposition of assets upon their distribution in kind in connection with a Liquidation shall be allocated among the Members in such proportions as shall, as nearly as practicable, result in a Capital Account balance for each Member that is equal to the amount that would be distributable to such Member if the Company sold all of its remaining assets at their then Book Value, and distributions in liquidation of the Company were made in accordance with Section 8.2.
          (c) Tax Allocations. Except as provided in Section 9.1(b), the income, gains, losses, deductions and expenses of the Company shall be allocated, for Federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such items of income, gain, loss, deduction and expense among the Members, as components of Profit and/or Losses for purposes of computing their Capital Accounts.
          (d) Section 704(c) Allocations. In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company or that is revalued pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Treasury Regulations, shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for Federal income tax purposes and its Book Value. Unless, upon advice of

-49-


 

counsel or of the Accountants, the Manager determines that such method results in a violation of, or is considered unreasonable under, relevant provisions of the Treasury Regulations, then the allocations described in the preceding sentence shall be made using the “traditional” method described in Section 1.704-3(b) of the Treasury Regulations. The Members agree that the traditional method will constitute a reasonable method as applied to the contemplated transaction. Subject to the foregoing, any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Company in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section are solely for purposes of Federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken account in computing any Member’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.
     9.2. Company Minimum Gain. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Profits and Losses shall be allocated as though this Agreement contained (and there is hereby incorporated herein by reference) a minimum gain chargeback provision which complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i) respectively.
     9.3. Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (except for Section 9.5), any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other period shall be specifically allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to such Nonrecourse Debt in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).
     9.4. Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. If there is a net decrease during a fiscal year in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, Profits (including, without limitation, Profits from a Capital Event) for such fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent fiscal years) shall be allocated to the Members in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in, Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations.
     9.5. Loss Allocation Limitation and Qualified Income Offset. No Member shall be allocated any Loss or items of loss or deduction to the extent such allocation would cause the Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Balance deficit; any Loss or items of loss or deduction that cannot be allocated to a Member because of the limitation set forth in this sentence shall be allocated among the other Members in accordance with their relative Percentage Interests. If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) of the Treasury Regulations that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Balance deficit (determined according to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations) as of the end of any fiscal year, items of gross income or gain for such fiscal year shall be allocated to such Member in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Balance deficit. This Section 9.5 is intended to be a “qualified income offset” provision as described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith.
     9.6. Treasury Regulation Compliance. The allocations described in Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations and as such may not be consistent with the manner in which

-50-


 

the Members intend to allocate items of Profit or Loss or make distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of Section 9.1, but subject to and to the extent permitted by the requirements of the Treasury Regulations, items of Profit or Loss in subsequent Fiscal Years shall be allocated among the Members in such a way as to reverse as quickly as possible the effects of any allocations described in Sections 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5.
     9.7. Allocation of Nonrecourse Deductions and Nonrecourse Liabilities. Nonrecourse Deductions will be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests. Solely for purposes of allocating Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company among the Members, the Members agree that each Member’s interest in Company profits shall be determined taking into account each Member’s share of Section 704(c) Residual Gain, such that each Member’s share of an Excess Nonrecourse Liability shall equal the sum of (1) the Member’s share of Section 704(c) Residual Gain with respect to such liability, plus (2) the product of (x) the amount by which such Excess Nonrecourse Liability exceeds all of the Members’ aggregate Section 704(c) Residual Gain with respect to such liability, and (y) the Member’s Percentage Interests. The Members agree that for purposes of allocating nonrecourse liabilities under Treasury Regulation Section 1.752-3(a) and this Section 9.7, if any nonrecourse liability is secured by both property purchased by the Company and property contributed to the Company, such nonrecourse liability shall be allocated between the purchased property and the contributed property based upon their relative fair market values on the date such nonrecourse liability becomes a Company liability.
     9.8. Changes In Percentage Interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Member’s Percentage Interest or the number of Common Units or Preferred Units held by such Member changes during a fiscal year for any reason, the allocation of taxable income or loss under this Article 9 shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the varying interests of the Members during such year using an interim closing of the books method as of the date of such change or such other reasonable methods as are approved by the Manager.
ARTICLE 10.
RECORDS AND BOOKS OF ACCOUNT; FISCAL YEAR;
BANKING; REPORTS TO MEMBERS
     10.1. Records and Books of Account. The Manager shall maintain or cause to be maintained by the Accountants, at the Company’s principal office or at such other place or places as the Manager from time to time may determine, full and accurate records and books of account of the businesses of the Company. Such records and books of account shall be maintained at the expense of the Company in accordance with GAAP (for a real estate company (including the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, Business Combinations)) and on a cash basis. Each Member shall cooperate with Manager in the maintaining of said records and books of account and shall provide, promptly upon request of Manager, all information in such Member’s possession relevant thereto. Each duly authorized representative of a Member shall be afforded full and complete access to all such records and books of account during reasonable business hours and, at such hours, shall have the right of inspection and copying of such records and books of account, at its expense. In addition to the audited financial statements and annual tax returns to which each Member is entitled at Company’s expense pursuant to Section 10.4(d), each Member shall have the right to have such

-51-


 

records and books of account independently audited by an accountant of its choice at its expense. The Manager shall cooperate fully with any Member or duly authorized representative in connection with such review or audit of the Company or its records and books. The Manager shall retain all records and books relating to the Company for a period of at least six years after the termination of the Company and shall thereafter destroy such records and books only after giving at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to the Members.
     10.2. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the Company shall be the calendar year.
     10.3. Banking. An account or accounts in the name of the Company shall be maintained at such bank or banks as the Manager may select. All uninvested funds of the Company shall be deposited in a bank account of the Company. All funds so credited to the Company in any such account shall be subject to withdrawal by the Manager or such Person or Persons as the Manager may designate from time to time. All Company funds and other Company assets shall be held in the name of the Company and shall be used only for the benefit of the Company.
     10.4. Reports to Members.
          (a) As soon as reasonably practical, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company (provided that such date may be extended for a reasonable period in the event of business exigencies), the Manager shall cause to be prepared and furnished to each Member at the Company’s expense:
               (i) The amount in the Capital Account of such Member as of the last day of such fiscal year; and
               (ii) Such other information as the Manager deems reasonably necessary for the Members to be advised of the current status of the Company and its business.
          (b) No later than five (5) days after the last day of each fiscal quarter (including the last fiscal quarter), the Manager, in coordination with the property managers and the Accountants, shall cause to be prepared and furnished to each Member a report which includes with respect to the Company:
               (i) a balance sheet and income statement prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a cash basis; and
               (ii) an income statement for such quarter and for the year-to-date, prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a cash basis with respect to the Properties.
          (c) No later than three (3) Business Days after the twenty-fifth (25th) day of the month of January and for each month thereafter through December of each year (starting one full calendar month after the closing of the Merger Transactions), the Members shall provide to the Company (and the Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each property manager to provide to the Company) all closing journals and records needed for such month’s closing of the financial statements.

-52-


 

          (d) Colonial shall cause the Accountants to (i) complete the audit of the Company’s books (other than the financial statements) within twenty-five (25) days after the close of each fiscal year, including SAS 61 communications with the audit committee of Colonial REIT, and (ii) complete the audit of the Company’s financial statements at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date that Colonial is required to file its Form 10-K pursuant to the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, for Manager’s comment, review and approval. In addition, Colonial shall cause an independent public accounting firm designated, from time to time, by mutual agreement of the Manager and the Members who are Affiliates of Colonial REIT and G&I V REIT, to prepare the annual tax returns for the Company at least twenty (20) days prior to the date such tax returns are required to be filed under federal tax laws (as such due date may be extended by an extension filing) for Manager’s comment, review and approval. Such outside audit and tax return preparation expenses shall be expenses of the Company (including any costs associated with a third party valuation firm for the GAAP-required SFAS 141 valuation). Manager shall provide Colonial (and, in the case of audited financial statements for calendar year 2005, Colonial shall provide Manager, as contemplated in the last sentence of this Section 10.4(d)) with its written approval or comments on the Company’s audited financial statements and annual tax returns within ten (10) days of its receipt of such drafts. In the event that the Manager (or, with respect to audited financial statements for calendar year 2005, Colonial) does not respond within the allotted ten (10) day period, such approval shall be deemed given. Moreover, Manager and Colonial shall cooperate to (x) within fifteen (15) days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company, provide Colonial with information regarding tax depreciation and other book-tax differences for such preceding fiscal year, and (y) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than forty-five (45) days after the close of each fiscal year of the Company, cause to be prepared and furnished to Colonial, at the Company’s expense, the information necessary for satisfaction by Colonial of its financial reporting requirements under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and preparation by Colonial of its annual tax returns. Manager shall timely provide (and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all property managers to timely provide) all information necessary to permit the Accountants and the tax return preparer to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.4(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for calendar year 2005, Manager shall cause the Accountants to comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 10.4(d). The Members acknowledge that the Company’s audit requirements in order to comply with GAAP (which shall be a Company expense) could differ from a Member’s own audit requirements (which shall not be a Company expense). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require the Company to perform additional audit functions requested by a Member that are not necessary or appropriate in order for the Company to prepare audited financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
     10.5. Basis Election. In the event that a distribution of any of the Company’s property is made in the manner provided in Code Section 734, or where a transfer of a Membership Interest permitted by this Agreement is made in the manner provided in Code Section 743, then, upon the request of any Member with respect to which an adjustment to the basis of the Company’s property is available under Code Section 734 or 743 in connection with such distribution or transfer, the Company shall file an election under Code Section 754, in accordance with procedures set forth in the applicable Treasury Regulations. Each Member shall provide the Company with all information necessary to give effect to any election under Code Section 754. Any additional expenses incurred by the Company as a result of such election in

connection with a transfer of an interest in the Company (e.g., bookkeeping expenses) shall be borne by the transferee Member.
ARTICLE 11.

If a successor Manager is appointed in such ninety (90) Business Day period, the Company shall not be dissolved. If a successor Manager is not appointed in such ninety (90) Business Day period, the Company shall be dissolved.
     11.3. Liquidation.
          (a) In the year of Liquidation of the Company, (i) Profit and Loss shall be credited or charged to the Capital Accounts of the Members (which Capital Accounts shall first be adjusted to take into account all non-liquidating distributions made during such final year) in accordance with Section 9.1 and (ii) if any Company assets are distributed in kind to the Members, then Profit and Loss shall be computed by treating such assets as having been sold for their fair market value immediately before such distribution.
          (b) Upon a dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall take or cause to be taken a full account of the Company’s assets and liabilities as of the date of such dissolution and shall proceed with reasonable promptness to liquidate the Company’s assets and to terminate its business.

               (ii) all remaining proceeds in Liquidation of the Company shall be distributable to the Members in accordance with Section 8.2.
          (c) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no dissolution or termination of the Company shall relieve, release or discharge any Member, or any of its successors or assigns, from any previous breach or default of, or any obligation theretofore incurred or accrued under any provision of this Agreement, and any and all such liabilities, claims, demands or causes of action arising from any such breaches, defaults and obligations shall survive such dissolution and termination.
          (d) If necessary, a special liquidator may be appointed by the Members holding a majority of the Percentage Interests in the Company. In connection with any such winding up, an independent certified public accountant retained by the Company, if requested by Members holding a majority of the Percentage Interests, shall audit the Company as of the date of termination, and such audited statement shall be furnished to all Members.
     11.4. Termination. Upon compliance with the foregoing plan of liquidation and distribution and the completion of the winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Manager shall file or cause to be filed a Certificate of Cancellation of the Certificate of Formation as well as any and all other documents required to effectuate the dissolution and termination of the Company and the Company thereupon shall be terminated.

ATTACHMENT G
81/2% SERIES A CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE
PREFERRED MEMBERSHIP UNITS
          In accordance with Section 3.2(e) of the Agreement, set forth below are the preferences, rights, powers, and duties of the Series A Preferred Units hereby established and issued by the Company to DRA. All capitalized terms used in this Attachment G and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.
     A. Designation and Number.
          A series of Membership Interests, designated as 81/2% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Membership Units (the “Series A Preferred Units”), is hereby established. The number of Series A Preferred Units shall be 2,990,000.
     B. Distributions.
          (i) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of Membership Interests ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Units as to distributions, DRA, in its capacity as the holder of Series A Preferred Units, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Manager, out of funds legally available for the making of the distributions, cumulative preferential cash distributions at the rate of 81/2% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per annum (equivalent to a fixed annual amount of $2.125 per Series A Preferred Unit). Such distributions shall accrue and be cumulative from September 15, 2005 and shall be payable quarterly in arrears in cash on the fifteenth (15th) day of March, June, September and December (each a “Series A Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date”) or, if not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as if paid on such Series A Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date and no interest or additional distribution or other sum shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Series A Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date to such succeeding Business Day. Any distribution payable on the Series A Preferred Units for any partial distribution period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Distributions payable on any Distribution Payment Date or any other date shall include distributions accrued to but excluding such Distribution Payment Date or other date, as the case may be.
          (ii) No distributions on the Series A Preferred Units will be declared or paid or set apart for payment if such authorization, payment or setting apart for payment would violate any agreement, including any agreement relating to the Company’s indebtedness, to which the Company is a party or is restricted or prohibited by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions with respect to the Series A Preferred Units will accrue whether or not any of the foregoing restrictions exist, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment thereof and whether or not they are declared, and accumulated but unpaid distributions will accrue as of the Series A Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date on which they first become payable.
          (iii) Unless full cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Units have

G-1


 

been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for such payment for all past distribution periods and the then current distribution period, no distributions will be declared or paid, or set apart for payment, upon any Membership Interests ranking, as to distributions, on a parity with, or junior to, the Series A Preferred Units for any period. If on any Series A Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date, distributions are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart therefor) on the Series A Preferred Units and any other classes or series of the Preferred Units ranking, as to distributions, on a parity with the Series A Preferred Units, all distributions declared on the Series A Preferred Units and such other classes or series of Preferred Units shall be declared pro rata such that the amount of distributions declared per unit of Series A Preferred Units and such other class or series of the Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued and unpaid distributions per unit on the Series A Preferred Units and such other class or series of Preferred Units bear to each other.
          (iv) Except as provided in Section B(iii) above, unless full cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Units have been, or contemporaneously are, declared and paid in full, or declared and a sum sufficient for the full payment thereof is set apart for all accrued and unpaid distributions, and any distributions due on such date on the Series A Preferred Units, no distributions (other than distributions payable in Common Units or units of any other outstanding class or series of the Membership Interests ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company) shall be declared or paid, or set apart for payment, nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon the Common Units of the Company or any class or series of the Membership Interests ranking junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, nor shall any Common Units or any class or series of the Membership Interests ranking junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any money paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such units of junior or parity units) by the Company (except by conversion into, or exchange for, units of any other class or series of the Membership Interests ranking junior to or on parity with the Series A Preferred Units as to distributions and upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company and except for the redemptions made in connection with the DRA’s redemption or repurchase of shares of its capital stock to preserve its status as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.
          (v) Any distribution made on the Series A Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid distributions due with respect to such units which remains payable. No interest or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution on the Series A Preferred Units which may be in arrears, and DRA, as the holder of the Series A Preferred Units, will not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, in excess of the full cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Units as described above.
     C. Liquidation, Dissolution and Winding Up.
          (i) In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or

G-2


 

winding up of the Company, the holders of any outstanding Series A Preferred Units, and any other Preferred Units ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Units as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to the Members remaining after payment or provision for payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company (and payment in respect of any rights of any class or series of the Preferred Units ranking prior to the Series A Preferred Units), but before any distribution is made in respect of any Membership Interests ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Unit and such other Preferred Units as to payments upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, a liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit, payable in cash or property valued by the board of directors of the Manager in good faith, plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid distributions to the date of such payment.
          (ii) If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets of the Company legally available therefor are insufficient to pay the full amount of liquidating distributions to the holders of outstanding Series A Preferred Units and any other Preferred Units ranking on a parity with the Series A Preferred Units as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, then holders of Series A Preferred Units and such other Preferred Units shall share ratably in any distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distribution to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
          (iii) After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions (including any accrued and unpaid distributions) to which they are entitled, DRA, as the holder of Series A Preferred Units, will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Company, and the remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed among the holders of any other classes or series of the Membership Interests ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Units as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company according to their respective rights and preferences.
          (iv) For purpose of this Section C, neither a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another entity nor a merger of another entity with or into the Company, nor a sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business will be considered a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
     D. Voting Rights.
          The holders of Series A Preferred Units shall have no voting or consent rights, except for any voting or consent rights to which the holders may be entitled under the laws of the State of Delaware that may not be waived by this Agreement.
     E. Redemption.
          In the event that DRA redeems any or all of its 81/2% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”), the Company shall concurrently redeem an equivalent number of Series A Preferred Units for consideration equal to redemption price of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed. From and after the date on which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are redeemed, the Series A Preferred Units so canceled

G-3


 

shall no longer be outstanding and all rights hereunder, to distributions or otherwise, with respect to such Series A Preferred Units shall cease.
     F. Restriction on Ownership.
          The Series A Preferred Units shall be owned and held solely by DRA.
     G. Ranking.
          The Series A Preferred Units shall, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, rank (a) senior to the Common Units and all Membership Interests other than the Membership Interests referred to in clauses (b) and (c) of this sentence; (b) on a parity with all Membership Interests the terms of which specifically provide that such Membership Interests rank on a parity with the Series A Preferred Units in respect to distribution rights and rights upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company; and (c) junior to all Membership Interests the terms of which specifically provide that such Membership Interests rank senior to the Series A Preferred Units in respect to distribution rights and rights upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.
     H. Conversion.
          The Series A Preferred Units are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company.
     I. DRA Rights.
          The rights of DRA, in its capacity as the holder of the Series A Preferred Units, are in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights or authority of DRA in any other capacity under the Agreement or applicable law. In addition, nothing contained in this Attachment G shall be deemed to limit or otherwise restrict the authority of DRA under the Agreement, other than in its capacity as the holder of the Series A Preferred Units.
     J. Allocations.
          Allocations of the Company’s items of income, gain, loss, and deduction shall be allocated to the Series A Preferred Units in accordance with Article 9 of the Agreement.
