Schedule A shall be amended from time to time to reflect the admission of any Member or the removal, expulsion, retirement or death of any Member or the receipt by the Company of notice of any change of the name of a Member.

A. Any modification to Schedule A for the foregoing reasons shall not require consent or approval from any of the Members.

2.2.    Limitation on Liability of Members. Except as otherwise contemplated herein, no Member, any Affiliate of such Member, or any officer, director, manager, member, stockholder, partner or employee of such Member, such Affiliate of such Member (collectively, “Related Persons”) shall be liable, responsible or accountable, whether directly or indirectly, in contract or tort or otherwise, to the Company or to any other Member for any Damages asserted against, suffered or incurred by the Company or such other Member arising out of, relating to or in connection with any act or failure to act by such Related Person pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the business and affairs of the Company except Damages resulting from acts or omissions of such Related Person which (x) were taken or omitted in bad faith or in breach of its fiduciary duties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (y) constituted intentional misconduct, fraud or gross negligence; provided, that the Member affiliated with such Related Person, and not the Related Person, shall be responsible for any such Damages. No Related Person shall be liable to the Company or any other Member for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any other Member. Any Related Person may consult with counsel, accountants and other professional advisors in respect of the affairs of the Company and each Related Person shall be deemed not to have acted in bad faith or to have engaged in intentional misconduct with respect to any action or failure to act and shall be fully protected and justified in so acting or failing to act, if such action or failure to act is in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel, accountants or other professional advisors, except for actions or failures to act by such Related Person which constitute a knowing violation of law. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Act or in this Agreement, the liability of each Member hereunder shall be limited to the amount of Capital Contributions, if any, required to be made by such Member to the Company in accordance

with the provisions of this Agreement, but only when and to the extent the same shall become due pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

3.1.    Capital Contributions.

(a)    The committed Capital Contribution of each Member as of the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule A hereto. BW’s Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall be in cash in United States Dollars and CLNY’s Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) shall be in (x) cash in United States Dollars, (y) shares of CLNY Stock, or (z) a mix of cash in United States Dollars and shares of CLNY Stock, determined in CLNY’s sole discretion; provided, that CLNY shall contribute not less than four million shares of CLNY Stock as part of its Capital Contribution. Each Party’s cash Capital Contribution shall be funded to the Company not more two (2) Business Days following such Party’s receipt of written notice from the Managing Member that the Company’s bank account has been opened and CLNY's contribution of shares of CLNY Stock shall transferred to the Company not more three (3) Business Days following CLNY’s receipt of written notice from the Managing Member that the Company’s brokerage account has been opened. The Managing Member shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to open the Company’s bank account and brokerage account as promptly as possible following the date hereof. The Managing Member shall provide the written notices referenced above to Member’s no later than one (1) Business Day following the opening of the Company’s bank account and brokerage account. Following any Capital Contribution of cash pursuant to this Section 3.1(a), as soon as reasonably practicable and as permitted by applicable law or regulation, the Managing Member shall use such Capital Contribution to purchase CLNY Stock on the open market. Any Capital Contribution in the form of CLNY Stock shall be valued at $1.47 per share (the “Contribution Value”).

(b)    From time to time after the date hereof, the Managing Member may issue a capital call notice (each, a “Payment Notice”) at such time, in such amount, and on such other terms, in each case, as are determined by the Managing Member to be necessary to fund any organizational or operating expenses of the Company, including but not limited to legal, administrative and accounting costs; provided, that all such required Capital Contributions shall be made pro rata (based on each Member’s Percentage Interest). All Capital Contributions pursuant to this Section 3.1(b) shall be in cash in United States Dollars.

(c)    All Capital Contributions must be made by each Member to the Company in accordance with the payment instructions included in the applicable Payment Notice and must be received by the Company no later than the close of business on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the date of such Member’s receipt of any such Payment Notice.

(d)    Except as contemplated by this Section 3.1 and Section 9.1, no Capital Contributions shall be required by any Member.

3.2.    Capital Accounts.

(a)    There shall be established and maintained throughout the full term of the Company in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(iv) for each Member, a capital account (a “Capital Account”). The initial balance of the Capital Account of each Member shall be the amount or value, as set forth opposite such Member’s name in Schedule A hereto under the column entitled “Capital Contributions”. The Capital Account of each Member shall be increased by (i) any additional Capital Contributions made by such Member and (ii) such Member’s allocable share of the Company’s Net Income for each fiscal year. The Capital Account of each Member shall be decreased by (i) the dollar amount of any distributions made to such Member, (ii) the Fair Market Value of any property distributed to such Member (net of any liabilities to which such property is subject); provided that in the case of CLNY Stock, Fair Market Value shall be deemed to be the Distribution Value, and (iii) such Member’s allocable share of the Company’s Net Loss for each fiscal year.

(b)    In addition to the adjustments specified by Section 3.2(a), each Member’s Capital Account shall also be adjusted for any other increases or decreases required to be made to Capital Accounts in accordance with Section 704 of the Code and with the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

3.3.    Tax Allocations.

(a)    Net Income and Net Losses for any taxable period of the Company shall be allocated among the Members’ respective Capital Accounts in a manner as to cause the Capital Accounts of the Members (as adjusted through the end of the taxable period) to equal, as nearly as possible, the amount such Members would receive in a hypothetical liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(iii). For U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, each item of Company income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner and in the same proportion that the corresponding book items have been allocated among the Members’ respective Capital Accounts. This provision is intended to comply with Treasury Regulation section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith (and in furtherance of the foregoing, this Agreement shall be deemed to include a qualified income offset and minimum gain chargeback as provided therein). The Managing Member shall be authorized to make appropriate amendments to the allocations of items pursuant to this Agreement (i) in order to comply with Section 704 of the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder or (ii) to allocate profits and losses (and items thereof) to those Members who bear the economic burden or benefit associated therewith, in each case, if advised by independent tax advisors that such action is required.

(b)    In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed (or deemed contributed for federal income tax purposes) to the capital of the Company, solely for tax purposes shall be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its fair market value at the time of contribution. If the book value of any asset of the Company is revalued pursuant to the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation

between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its carrying value (as so revalued) in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

3.4.    Treatment of Capital Contributions. No Member shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contributions nor shall any Member be entitled to demand the return of all or any part of such Capital Contributions to the capital of the Company.

3.5.    Not Liable for Return of Capital. No Member or any of its Related Persons shall be personally liable for the return of the Capital Contributions of any other Member or any portion thereof, and such return shall be made solely from available Company Assets, if any, from which the Capital Contribution was made and shall be subtracted from the account or accounts from which the Capital Contribution was made.

3.6.    Capital Contribution Default. If any Member shall fail to timely make a Capital Contribution required pursuant to Section 3.1(b) (a “Default”), the Managing Member shall send a notice to such Member, and such Member shall have five (5) Business Days from the receipt of such notice to cure such Default. If such Default is not cured within such five (5) Business Day period, the other Member shall, in addition to all other remedies at law or equity, have the right, but not the obligation, to fund the amount of such Default, which funding shall be treated as a loan from such other Member to the Company and shall be payable in priority to distributions to the defaulting Member and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus twelve percent (12%) from the date of the relevant Default paid until repaid.

4.1.    Distributions.

(a)    On at least a quarterly basis, or more frequently as determined in the sole discretion of the Managing Member, the Managing Member shall cause the Company to distribute all Available Cash, in the following order of priority:

(i)    First, 90% to CLNY and 10% to BW until the later of (A) CLNY and BW shall have each received aggregate distributions equal to an amount that would provide it with an IRR equal to 10%, and (B) solely if there has been an Early Termination, CLNY shall have received aggregate distributions equal to 125% of CLNY’s aggregate Capital Contributions;

(ii)    Thereafter, 66.7% to CLNY and 33.3% to BW until CLNY and BW shall have each received aggregate distributions equal to an amount that would provide it with an IRR equal to 15%;

(iii)    Thereafter, 33.3% to CLNY and 66.7% to BW until CLNY and BW shall have each received aggregate distributions equal to an amount that would provide it with an IRR equal to 20%; and

(iv)    Thereafter, 10% to CLNY and 90% to BW.

(b)    Managing Member shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to distribute to BW either (i) cash, (ii) CLNY Stock, or (iii) a mix of cash and CLNY Stock. In the event that the Managing Member elects to distribute CLNY Stock to BW, such CLNY Stock shall be deemed to have a value equal to the arithmetic average of the TWAP of CLNY Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the date of distribution to BW. In the event the Managing Member elects to distribute CLNY Stock to BW and BW is unable to sell such CLNY Stock and achieve liquidity within a reasonable period of time, BW and CLNY and its Affiliates shall discuss in good faith alternatives for BW to achieve such liquidity.

(c)    In the event that CLNY Stock is distributed to BW, Colony Capital, Inc. shall (and CLNY shall cause Colony Capital, Inc. to) prepare and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the distribution, file with the SEC a registration statement covering the resale of all of the shares of CLNY Stock distributed to BW (the “Registration Statement”) and use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the date the shares are distributed to BW. Colony Capital, Inc. shall (and CLNY shall cause Colony Capital, Inc. to) use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier of (i) the date that shares of CLNY Stock registered thereunder are sold by BW and (ii) the date that the shares of CLNY Stock registered thereunder can be freely sold by BW pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation.

4.2.    Withholding. The Company is hereby authorized to withhold from any distribution to any Member and to pay over to any federal, state, local or foreign government any amounts required to be so withheld pursuant to federal, state, local or foreign law. All amounts required to be withheld pursuant to federal, state, local or foreign tax laws shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the affected Members for all purposes under this Agreement. In the event that the Company determines in good faith that any amounts are required to be withheld pursuant to federal, state, local or foreign tax laws, the Company shall promptly notify the Members in writing of its intention to withhold. Within fifteen (15) days of receiving such notice from the Company, a Member may notify the Company in writing of its election to contest the basis for such withholding and the rationale for such contest (including an opinion of counsel that such withholding should not be required). If the Company agrees that such determination is reasonable, subject to receipt from such Member (or, if the Company believes that such Member is not credit-worthy, another credit-worthy party reasonably acceptable to the Company) of an agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, the responsible withholding agent and the other Members, as appropriate, against all taxes, interest, penalties,

claims, liabilities and expenses of whatever nature payable to a taxing authority as a result of such obligation to withhold and to pay over any such withholding to the applicable taxing authority, the Company shall not withhold any amounts from the distribution to such Member.

5.1.    The Managing Member. The Managing Member shall have the exclusive right and power to manage and operate the Company and to do all things necessary to carry on the business of the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the Act. The Managing Member shall devote so much of its time to the business of the Company as in its judgment the conduct of the Company’s business shall reasonably require and shall not be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the business of the Company not expressly set forth herein. The Managing Member may engage in business ventures of any nature and description independently or with others and neither the Company nor any of its Members shall have any rights in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived therefrom.

5.2.    Authority of the Managing Member.

(a)    Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Act, the Managing Member is specifically authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company without any further consent of any other Member, to do any act or execute any document or enter into any contract or any agreement of any nature necessary or desirable, in the opinion of the Managing Member, in pursuance of the Purpose, including, without limitation, the following:

(i)    entering into, making and performing contracts, agreements and other undertakings binding upon the Company that may be necessary, appropriate or advisable in furtherance of the Purpose and making all decisions and waivers thereunder;

(c)    The Managing Member hereby ratifies the adoption of the regulations attached to this Agreement as Schedule B authorizing certain officers to act on behalf of the Company, all as more particularly described in Schedule B. The officers shall have full authority to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company. No officer of the Company shall be entitled to any compensation for his or her service as an officer of the Company.

(d)    CLNY (the “Managing Member”) is hereby appointed as the “managing member” of the Company.

5.3.    Authority.

(a)    The Managing Member has authority to bind the Company, by execution of documents or otherwise, to any obligation not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement. The Managing Member may contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction of the business of the Company, which Person may, under supervision of the Managing Member, perform any acts or services for the Company as the Managing Member may approve and the Managing Member shall use reasonable care in the selection and retention of such Persons.

(b)    Each Member may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

5.4.    Partnership Representative. The Managing Member is hereby designated as the “partnership representative” within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code (and, as applicable, in any similar capacity under state or local tax law) (the “Partnership Representative”) and to represent the Company in any tax audit, examination or investigation of the Company by any taxing authority or any other tax-related administrative or judicial proceeding with respect to the Company (any such proceeding, a “Tax Proceeding”). The Partnership Representative shall be authorized to take any actions necessary with respect to any Tax Proceeding and to make any decisions and elections relating thereto in its sole discretion; provided, that (i) BW shall be entitled to fully participate in any Tax Proceeding reasonably expected to materially disproportionately affect BW and (ii) the Company shall not settle or otherwise resolve any such Tax Proceeding that materially disproportionately affects BW without BW’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Member shall reasonably cooperate with the Partnership Representative to give effect to the requirements of and elections made by the Partnership Representative and provide such

information as the Partnership Representative may reasonably request, including any information necessary to reduce the amount of any resulting tax imposed on the Company. If, for any reason, the Company is liable for a tax, interest, addition to tax or penalty, each person who was a Member during the taxable year of the Company that was audited shall be responsible for its share of such liability based on the amount each such Member should have borne had the Company’s tax return for such taxable year reflected the audit adjustment, and the expense for the Company’s payment of such tax, interest, addition to tax and penalty shall be specially allocated to such Member(s) in such proportions. The provisions of this Section 5.4 and the obligations of each Member thereunder shall survive a Member’s ceasing to be a Member of the Company and will remain binding for the period of time necessary to resolve any Tax Proceedings. The Partnership Representative shall be authorized to appoint a designated individual who shall have the same rights, obligations, and limitations of the Partnership Representative.

5.5.    Tax Matters. By executing this Agreement, each of the Members hereby consents to any election made by the Managing Member for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes. The Managing Member shall have the sole and exclusive authority to make any elections on behalf of the Company required or permitted to be made for tax purposes (including an election pursuant to Section 754 of the Code) and make any other tax-related decisions with respect to the Company, in each case, as determined by the Managing Member; provided that any such tax decision that materially disproportionately affects BW shall be subject to the consent of BW (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Each Member shall furnish to the Company all pertinent information in its possession that is necessary to enable the Company to make any such tax election or other actions and for the Company’s tax returns to be prepared and filed.

5.6.    Other Activities of the Members and Related Persons.

(a)    Each Member expressly agrees that the other Members and all Related Persons may engage independently, with each other or with others, for their own accounts and for the accounts of others, in other business ventures and activities of every nature and description, whether such ventures are competitive with the business of the Company or otherwise. Neither the Company nor any Member shall have any rights or obligations by virtue of this Agreement in and to such independent ventures and activities or the income or profits derived by any other Member or Related Person therefrom.

(b)    Subject to Section 5.9(h), the Company may, from time to time, engage third parties to render services to the Company on such terms and for such compensation as the Managing Member may reasonably determine, including, without limitation, attorneys, investment consultants, brokers or finders, independent auditors and printers.

The Managing Member shall keep BW reasonably informed of the engagement of any such service provider.

5.7.    Compensation and Reimbursement of Members. The Managing Member shall not be compensated for its services as the Managing Member of the Company. The Company shall

reimburse the Managing Member on a current basis for its out-of-pocket expenditures made on behalf of the Company upon submission to the Company of reasonably detailed evidence of such expenditures. All reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenditures shall be reasonable in amount and in the advancement of the Purpose. Any out-of-pocket expenditure made by the Managing Member and eligible for reimbursement pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall not be treated as a Capital Contribution and any reimbursement of such expenditure shall not be treated as a Company distribution to the Members.

5.8.    Members to Have No Managerial Authority. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or otherwise delegated to a Member by the Managing Member or as required by applicable law, the Members will have no power to participate in the management of the Company except as expressly authorized by this Agreement and except as expressly required by the Act. Unless expressly and duly authorized in writing to do so by the Managing Member, no Member (other than the Managing Member) will have any power or authority to bind or act on behalf of the Company in any way to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose.

6.1.    Books and Records. The Company shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, in a manner customary and consistent with good accounting principles, practices and procedures, a comprehensive system of office records, books and accounts (which records, books and accounts shall be and remain the property of the Company) in which shall be entered fully and accurately each and every financial transaction with respect to the ownership and operation of the property of the Company. Such books and records of account shall be prepared and maintained at the principal place of business of the Company or such other place or places as may from time to time be determined by the Members.

7.1.    Restrictions on Transfers.

(a)    No Member may sell, transfer, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of or encumber (each, a “Transfer”) all or any part of such Member’s interest (including any rights or obligations under this Agreement, or any Percentage Interest) in the Company and no interest, claim or charge therein or thereto shall be Transferred, in each case, without the prior written consent of each other Member; provided that, subject to compliance with Section 7.1(b), any Member (a “Transferor”) shall be entitled to Transfer its equity interests (including any rights or obligations under this Agreement, or any Percentage Interest) in the Company to an Affiliate of such Member, so long as such Transferee signs a joinder agreement that contains the representations and warranties set forth in Section 10. Any direct or indirect Transfer of any securities in BW shall be deemed a Transfer of BW’s Percentage Interest for purposes of this Section 7 unless Mr. Jason Aintabi retains, directly or indirectly, full beneficial and economic ownership of, and maintains sole control of, BW’s Percentage Interest. Each Member and each permitted Transferee thereof hereby agrees that it will not effect any Transfer of all or any part of such Member’s interest (including any rights or obligations under this Agreement, or any Percentage Interest) in the Company (whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law) in any manner contrary to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)    The Company shall not participate in the establishment of a secondary market for equity interests or the substantial equivalent thereof as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1. 7704-1 (c) or the inclusion of any equity interests on such a market or on an established securities market as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1. 7704-1 (b), nor shall the Company recognize any Transfer made on any of the foregoing markets or otherwise cause the Company to be a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. In no event shall any Transfer

(a)    None of the Managing Member, the Members or their respective Related Persons or any Related Person of the Company shall have any liability, responsibility or accountability in damages or otherwise to the Managing Member, any Member or the Company for, and the Company agrees to indemnify, pay, protect and hold harmless the Managing Member, the Members and their respective Related Persons and the Related Persons of the Company (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against, any and all Damages which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Indemnified Parties in any way relating to or arising out of, or alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Company, on the part of the Indemnified Parties when acting on behalf of the Company or on the part of any

brokers or agents when acting on behalf of the Company; provided, that a Member shall be liable, responsible and accountable for and shall indemnify and hold the Company harmless against, and the Company shall not be liable to a Member for, any portion of such Damages in connection therewith resulting from acts or omissions of such Member or Related Person which (x) were taken or omitted in bad faith or in breach of its fiduciary duties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (y) constituted intentional misconduct, fraud or gross negligence; provided, however, that such Member’s obligation to indemnify the Company hereunder as provided above shall be satisfied solely from (i) such Member’s interest in the Company, (ii) all distributions due such Member from the Company from the date of assertion of such claim for indemnification and (iii) any fidelity bond or insurance maintained by such Member in respect of the foregoing; and provided further, that nothing in this provision shall create personal liability on the part of any Member’s Related Persons. In any action, suit or proceeding against the Company or any Indemnified Party relating to or arising, or alleged to relate to or arise, out of any such action or non-action, the Indemnified Parties shall have the right to jointly employ, at the expense of the Company, counsel of the Indemnified Parties’ choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in such action, suit or proceeding, provided that if retention of joint counsel by the Indemnified Parties would create a conflict of interest, each group of Indemnified Parties which would not cause such a conflict shall have the right to employ, at the expense of the Company, separate counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, in such action, suit or proceeding. The satisfaction of the obligations of the Company under this Section 8.1(a) shall be from and limited to the assets of the Company and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof. Accordingly, with the intent that this Agreement and the contractual obligations set forth herein serve as the sole basis of establishing the governance obligations of the Members, the Managing Member, the Members and the Company agree that to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, fiduciary duties of Members are hereby eliminated, and implied covenants (other than the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing and the duty of loyalty) and other standards of conduct that are not expressly provided in this Agreement shall not apply and are hereby waived.

(b)    The provision of advances from the Company funds to an Indemnified Party for legal expenses and other costs incurred as a result of any legal action or proceeding is permissible if (i) such suit, action or proceeding relates to or arises out of, or is alleged to relate to or arise out of, any action or inaction on the part of the Indemnified Party in the performance of its duties or provision of its services on behalf of the Company; and (ii) the Indemnified Party undertakes to repay any funds advanced pursuant to this Section 8.1(b) in cases in which such Indemnified Party would not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.1(a). If advances are permissible under this Section 8.1(b), the Indemnified Party shall furnish the Company with an undertaking as set forth in clause (ii) of this paragraph and shall thereafter have the right to bill the Company for, or otherwise request the Company to pay, at any time and from time to time after such Indemnified Party shall become obligated to make payment therefor, any and all reasonable amounts for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.1(a). The Company shall pay any and all such bills and honor any and all such requests for payment within 60 days after such bill or request is received by the Members and the Company’s rights to repayment of such amounts shall be secured by the Indemnified Party’s interest in the Company. In the event that a final determination is made that the Company is not so obligated in respect of any amount paid by it to

a particular Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party will refund such amount within 60 days of such final determination, and in the event that a final determination is made that the Company is so obligated in respect to any amount not paid by the Company to a particular Indemnified Party, the Company will pay such amount to such Indemnified Party within 60 days of such final determination, in either case together with interest at the Prime Rate plus 2% from the date paid until repaid or the date it was obligated to be paid until the date actually paid.

8.2.    Nonexclusivity of Rights. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Section 8 shall not be exclusive of any other right that a Member, the Managing Member, officer or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 8 may have or hereafter acquire by approval of the Managing Member. If the Managing Member, a Member, officer or other Person indemnified pursuant to this Section 8 is indemnified by a Third-Party Indemnitor for a loss covered by Section 8.1 or receives from a Third-Party Indemnitor expense reimbursement or advancement of an expense covered by Section 8.1, such Third-Party Indemnitor shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the rights of the Managing Member, officer or other Person under this Section 8 to recover such amount from the Company on the terms of this Section 8. The Company hereby agrees that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any Third-Party Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Third-Party Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of any expense reimbursement or advancement of an expense covered by Section 8.1. The Company shall not be subrogated to any rights the Managing Member, officer or other Person may have against a Third-Party Indemnitor. The Managing Member, officer or other Person is not required to assert any claim for indemnification protection or expense reimbursement or advance against any Third-Party Indemnitor prior to asserting a claim against, or receiving an indemnification or expense reimbursement payment from, the Company. The Company and each of the Members acknowledges that any Third-Party Indemnitors are express third-party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 8.2. To the extent that any Indemnified Party or Third-Party Indemnitor incurs any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever to which it is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.1(a) that in any way relates to, arises out of or, or is alleged to relate to or arise out of, any matter or circumstance to which the Company is entitled to indemnification pursuant to any agreement to which it is party, then such Indemnified Party or Third-Party Indemnitor shall, to the extent that the Company has not made any payment to such Indemnified Party (or Third-Party Indemnitor) in the amount of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses and disbursement incurred by such Indemnified Party, shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the rights of the Company under such agreement to recover such amount from such Person that is obligated to provide indemnification to the Company pursuant to the terms thereof.

If Company Assets are distributed in kind, the Capital Accounts of the Members shall be adjusted to reflect the gain or loss that would have been recognized by the Company if those assets had been sold for an amount equal to their Fair Market Value at the time of distribution; provided that the Fair Market Value of any CLNY Stock shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the TWAP of CLNY Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to such distribution (the “Distribution Value”). The Managing Member shall inform BW of the method and the process for the liquidation and distribution of Company Assets in order to maximize the distributions to the Members.
