Any action which may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by all the Members. A consent transmitted by electronic transmission by a Member or other Person authorized to act for that Member shall be deemed to be written and signed by that Member for these purposes, and the term electronic transmission means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process. Except where any of the Preferred Members have been given the right to act alone, the affirmative unanimous vote of all the Members shall be required for the Members to approve any action. The Zilkha Members shall vote as a block.

Except where this Agreement requires the consent or approval of all of the Members, the consent or approval of the Members shall occur at such time as Members holding at least a majority of the Units in each class have given their consent or approval. Except where this Agreement requires the consent or approval of all of the Members of a class of Units, the consent or approval of Members holding a class of Units shall occur at such time as Members holding at least a majority of the Units in such class have given their consent or approval

The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed under the direction of the Board which shall be constituted in accordance with this Section 5.1. The expression of any power or authority of the Board in this Agreement shall not in any way limit or exclude any other power or authority of the Board which is not specifically or expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Members shall designate the members of the Board (the Board Members ) as follows: two (2) Board Members shall be designated by GCE and two (2) Board Members shall be designated by the Preferred Members, with each of the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Trust having the right to designate one (1) Board Member; provided, however, that (a) if GCE shall be removed as the Manager pursuant to Section 5.2(e), the Board Members designated by GCE shall thereupon be deemed removed as Board Members and GCE shall have no further right to designate Board Members, or (b) if a Member s Membership Interest is converted to an Economic Interest, whether as a result of a Membership Termination Event, a Transfer to a Person who is not then admitted as a substituted Member or otherwise, any Board Member designated by such Member shall be deemed removed and such Member or its successor or transferee shall have no further right to designate any Board Member. Subject to the foregoing, each of GCE and the Preferred Members shall have the right to change the identity of the Board Member appointed by it at any time and for any reason, by written notice to the other Member, and each Board Member so appointed shall serve in that capacity until he or she resigns or is removed by the Member which appointed him or her, in its absolute discretion. Initially, Richard Palmer and Bruce K. Nelson shall be the Board Members appointed by GCE, and Stewart A. Resnick and Selim Zilkha shall be the Board Members appointed by the Preferred Members.

                    (b) Meetings of the Board. Meetings of the Board may be called at any time, upon five (5) Business Days prior notice, by any Board Member or by the Manager; provided, however, that in case of an emergency such meeting may be called on one (1) Business Day s notice. Unless the Board agrees otherwise, such meetings shall be held at the principal offices of the Company. A notice of a meeting need not specify the purpose of that meeting, and notice of the meeting need not be given to any Board Member who signs a waiver of notice, a consent to holding the meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof, whether before or after the meeting, or who attends the meeting without protesting the lack of notice prior to the commencement of the meeting. Any Board Member may grant any other Board Member a proxy to act in his or her place at any meeting of the Board. Board Members may participate in any meeting of the Board by means of conference telephones or similar communications equipment so long as all Board Member participating can hear one another. A Board Member so participating is deemed to be present at the meeting. The affirmative unanimous vote of all Board Members in office shall be required for the Board to approve any action.

                    (c) Written Consent. Any action which may be taken by the Board Members at a meeting may also be taken without a meeting, if a consent in writing setting forth the action so taken is signed by all the Board Members. A consent transmitted by electronic transmission by a Board Member or other Person authorized to act for that Board Member shall be deemed to be written and signed by that Board Member for these purposes, and the term electronic transmission means any form of communication not directly involving the physical transmission of paper that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved and reviewed by a recipient thereof and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

                    (d) Standard of Care. Every Board Member shall discharge his or her duties in good faith, with the care an ordinary prudent person in a like position would exercise under similar circumstances, and in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the best interests of the Company and its Members; provided, however, that Board Members may, in their sole discretion, take actions which are in the best interests of the Member who appointed them regardless of whether such action is in the best interest of the Company or the other Members.

                    (e) Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise prohibited by the Act, a Board Member shall not be liable, responsible or accountable for damages or otherwise to the Company for any action taken or failure to act on behalf of the Company within the scope of the authority conferred on the Board Members by this Agreement, by law or by the Members, unless such action or omission is performed or omitted fraudulently or constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence. In no event shall the Board Members be liable to the Company, the Members or any of their respective Affiliates or constituent owners for any consequential, indirect, incidental or special damages arising from their acts or omissions.

                    (f) Reliance. In performing their duties, the Board Members shall be entitled to rely on information, opinions, reports or statements, including financial statements and other financial data, of any attorney, independent accountant or other Person as to matters which the Board Members believe to be within such Person s professional or expert competence unless the Board Members have actual knowledge concerning the matter in question that would cause such reliance to be unwarranted.

                    (g) Devotion of Time. The Board Members shall not be obligated to devote all of their time or business efforts to the affairs of the Company.

                    (h) Actions Requiring Board Approval. Without limiting the matters or actions that must be approved by the Board, the approval of the Board shall be required for any of the following actions:

                              (i) other than the declaration and payment of the Preferred Return, the declaration or payment of any Distributions on any Membership Interests;

                              (viii) the approval of the Budget and any changes in any line item of the Budget (except for changes that move line items between categories in the Budget as long as such change does not increase the Budget or alter the overall Budget); provided, however, that if the Board does not approve a Budget for a new Fiscal Year, the Budget for such year shall be the same as the then current Budget as adjusted to reflect increases for increased government assessments, cost increases under existing contracts and other increases consistent with the increase in consumer prices over the prior Fiscal Year which occurred for the area in which the Company operates as such increases in consumer prices are determined by a governmental agency or other Person approved by the Board;

                              (ix) the admission of another Person as a Member of the Company;

                              (x) any alteration of the primary purpose of the Company as set forth in Section 2.4;

Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the day-to-day operations of the Company shall be managed by one (1) Manager within the parameters set forth in the Budget and by the Board. The initial Manager is GCE, who hereby accepts such appointment. The Manager may at any time be replaced by a unanimous vote of the Board Members. Additionally, the Preferred Members may remove and replace the Manager in accordance with Section 5.2(e). The Manager is hereby designated as a manager pursuant to Section 18-402 of the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Manager shall owe the Company the duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the Laws of the State of Delaware.

                    (b) Duties of the Manager. The Manager shall undertake all actions approved by the Board and shall cause the Preferred Return to be paid annually to the Preferred Members to the extent that Distributable Cash exists and payment of the Preferred Return is not then prohibited under this Agreement or law or any third party agreement approved by the Board.

          Except for situations in which this Agreement provides for the Manager to act in a certain manner or the approval of the Members or the Board is specifically required by the Act, the Certificate of Formation or this Agreement, the Manager shall have full, complete and exclusive authority, power and discretion to manage and control the business, property and affairs of the Company, to make all decisions regarding those matters, to supervise, direct and control the actions of the officers, if any, of the Company and to perform any and all other actions customary or incident to the management of the Company s business, property and affairs. Subject to the foregoing, the Manager shall control and direct the administration of the business and affairs of the Company in accordance this Agreement and with sound business practice, taking such steps as are necessary or appropriate in its reasonable judgment to conserve and enhance the value and profitability of the Company s business, property and affairs. The Manager shall be serving in a fiduciary role for all of the Members and shall seek to obtain the best possible terms and conditions for the Project in connection with the sale of all off-take from the Project, including, without limitation, controlling and managing the monetization of all potential revenue sources from the Project or the Company s operations, including but not limited to fruit, seeds, pre-processed crude Jatropha oil, biomass, and by-product, press cake and hulls revenue and carbon credits.

                    (c) Budget. At least two (2) months prior to the commencement of each Fiscal Year (other than the Company s initial Fiscal Year), the Manager shall prepare and deliver to each Board Member a proposed Budget for such Fiscal Year. Such proposed Budget shall be in the form of Exhibit B, provided, however, that if the Preferred Members request that the proposed Budget be prepared in a different form, the Manager shall prepare the proposed Budget in such form. If the Board does not approve a proposed Budget, the Manager shall promptly revise the proposed Budget to reflect comments received from Board Members and submit such revised Budget to the Board Members for approval.

                    (d) Liability of Manager. The Manager shall not be liable to the Company or to any Member for any losses or damages suffered by them, except as the result of the Manager s fraud, deceit, gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, embezzlement, breach of fiduciary duty, knowing violation of law or breach of this Agreement or any other obligations of the Manager hereunder (whether committed knowingly, negligently or otherwise) or as a result of an act from which the Manager derives an improper personal benefit.

                    (e) Removal of Manager. The Manager may be removed or replaced by holders of all of the Preferred Units at any time or from time to time, without liability to the Company or any of its Members, for fraud, deceit, gross negligence, reckless or intentional misconduct, embezzlement, breach of a fiduciary duty, a material violation of law or a breach of this Agreement, any act from which the Manager derives an improper personal benefit, a breach of the Manager s obligations hereunder (which shall include, without limitation, taking any action not authorized under this Agreement), the Manager s failure to operate the Company within the budgetary guidelines established by the Board and such failure has a material adverse effect on the Company, the inability of Richard Palmer or his assignee to render services on behalf of the Manager and the failure of GCE to obtain a replacement acceptable to the holders of the Preferred Units within thirty (30) days, or a dissolution, merger, liquidation or bankruptcy of the Manager. If the Manager is so removed or replaced, the Preferred Members shall have the right under Section 5.3 to purchase the Common Units and all of the Membership Interest owned by the Manager or to require the Manager to purchase all of the Units and Membership Interests held by the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Members.

          5.3 Buy-Sell Rights Upon Removal of GCE as Manager.

                    (a) Buy-Sell Right. If GCE is removed as the Manager pursuant to Section 5.2(e), then the Preferred Members may, at any time within ninety (90) calendar days after such removal, elect to either purchase the Membership Interest of GCE or to sell the Membership Interests of the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Members to GCE upon the terms and conditions set forth herein; provided that such election by the Preferred Members shall not give rise to any purchase right afforded to GCE pursuant to Section 7. To exercise such right, the Preferred Members shall deliver written notice to GCE of their intention to exercise such right; provided, however, that the Preferred Members shall not be required to state in such notice whether they have elected to sell the Membership Interests of the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Members to GCE or to purchase the Membership Interest of GCE.

                    (b) Suspension of Exercise of Buy-Sell Right. If GCE disputes the basis for its removal as the Manager pursuant to Section 5.2(e), GCE shall initiate an arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 13.3 no later than 110 days following such removal. The failure to so initiate such proceeding during such period, or the termination of such proceeding by GCE, shall constitute an irrevocable waiver and release by GCE of, and an absolute bar against the exercise by GCE of, any right, remedy, or claim regarding its removal as the Manager. If an arbitration proceeding is so initiated within such period, then the exercise of the rights under this Section 5.3 shall be suspended until the earlier of the termination or dismissal of the proceeding or the rendering of a decision by the arbitrator. If the arbitrator finds that the removal of the Manager was not in accordance with Section 5.2(e), then any exercise of the rights under Section 5.3 with respect to such removal shall be considered void and of no force or effect.

                    (c) Determination of Fair Market Value of the Company. If the Members are unable to agree upon a purchase price for the respective Membership Interests within thirty (30) calendar days following the delivery of the notice of exercise (or if an arbitration proceeding as to the removal is initiated by GCE pursuant to Section 5.3(b), within thirty (30) calendar days following the termination or dismissal of such proceeding or the rendering of a decision by the arbitrator), they shall within the next thirty (30) calendar days agree upon the selection of an appraiser to value the Fair Market Value of the Company as of the date of removal (or other repurchase event). If no agreement can be reached as to the selection of an appraiser, the Preferred Members shall promptly choose one appraiser by notice to GCE and GCE shall promptly choose one appraiser by notice to the Preferred Members; provided, however, that all appraisers selected by the parties shall be reasonably experienced in valuing interests in businesses similar to the business then conducted by the Company. Each appraiser shall, within twenty (20) calendar days after his or her appointment, prepare an appraisal of the Fair Market Value of the Company as of the date of removal (or other repurchase event). In making the appraisal, the appraisers shall be obligated to take into account the value of comparable companies if known, and the present value of future cash flows to be derived from the existing assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The arithmetic average of the two appraisals shall be the Fair Market Value of the Company.

          If either GCE or the Preferred Members fail to appoint an appraiser within thirty (30) calendar days after the lapse of the initial thirty (30) calendar day period referred to above, then the appraiser appointed by the party which does appoint an appraiser shall alone determine the Fair Market Value of the Company as of the date of removal (or other repurchase event), and its appraisal shall govern. Each party shall compensate the appraiser appointed by that party.

                    (d) Applicable Purchase Price. Within thirty (30) calendar days of such determination of the Fair Market Value of the Company, the Company s accountants shall prepare a schedule setting forth the amounts that would be distributed to each of the Members on the assumption that the Company completes a sale of its assets for, and receives cash equal to, such Fair Market Value as of the date of the notice, pays all outstanding obligations and customary closing and transaction costs that would have been likely to have been incurred if the Company was sold for such Fair Market Value, dissolves and then distributes the remaining balance to the Members in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The amount that would be so distributed to each such Member shall be the purchase price (the Applicable Purchase Price ) for such Member s Membership Interest under this Section.

                    (e) Election. Within ten (10) calendar days of the determination of such Applicable Purchase Price, the Preferred Members shall notify GCE in writing as to whether they elect to purchase GCE s Membership Interest, or elect to require GCE to purchase the Membership Interests of the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Members, for the Applicable Purchase Price; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement: (i) the Applicable Purchase Price payable by any Member hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to all indebtedness then owed by the selling Member to that purchaser (without regard to whether or not such indebtedness is then due and payable in whole or in part); (ii) if GCE s Membership Interest is being purchased as a result of a breach of this Agreement by GCE, the Applicable Purchase Price payable by any Preferred Member hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the damages suffered by that purchaser as a result of the breach; (iii) if at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, GCE initiates an arbitration proceeding pursuant to Section 13.3 with respect to the amount of damages, then instead of withholding the amount of the damages from the payment of the purchase price, the Preferred Members shall at the Closing deposit the amount of the reduction for damages in an escrow which shall provide for the release of the funds to the Preferred Members if the arbitration is dismissed or terminated or otherwise in accordance with the findings of the arbitrator, and for all interest and earnings on such funds to be paid to the Preferred Members, and (iv) if the Preferred Members elect to require GCE to purchase the Membership Interests of the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Members, then GCE must also cause AGC to pay to the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Trust at the Closing all principal, accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Land Acquisition Loans; provided, however, if within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of the notice from the Preferred Members, GCE provides written notice to the Preferred Members that the board of directors of GCE has made a good faith determination that GCE is unable to pay, or finance the payment of, the Applicable Purchase Price and cause AGC to pay to the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Trust at the Closing all principal, accrued interest and other amounts payable under the Land Acquisition Loans, then the Preferred Members may elect to (A) dissolve the Company, (B) instead purchase the Membership Interests of GCE for the Applicable Purchase Price, or (C) cancel the exercise of its buy-sell rights under this Section 5.3, and any election by the Preferred Members shall be without prejudice to any right or remedy of the Preferred Members with respect to GCE.

          5.4 Transactions between the Company and the Manager or its Affiliates. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Manager may provide, or cause the Company to engage one or more of its Affiliates to provide, any or all goods and/or services required by the Company or its Subsidiaries in the conduct of its business, provided that the Manager has first notified each of the Board Members in writing that the Manager or any of its Affiliates may be providing such goods and/or services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and the Board has approved the terms and conditions of any such engagement or the Budget expressly approved by the Board contains a line-item reflecting payments to the Manager or its Affiliates for such good or services.

          5.5 Officers of the Company.

                    (a) Appointment of Officers. The Manager may, at its discretion, appoint officers of the Company at any time to conduct, or to assist the Manager in the conduct of, the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company. The officers of the Company may include a Chairperson, a President or Chief Executive Officer, one or more Senior Vice Presidents, one or more Vice Presidents, a Secretary, one or more Assistant Secretaries, a Chief Financial Officer, a Treasurer, one or more Assistant Treasurers and a Comptroller. The officers shall serve at the pleasure of the Manager, subject to all rights, if any, of an officer under any contract of employment; provided, however, that the Manager shall not enter into any employment agreement with an officer without the prior approval of the Board. Any individual may hold any number of offices. If a Manager is not an individual, that Manager s officers may serve as officers of the Company if appointed by the Manager. The officers shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as are typically exercised by similarly titled officers in a corporation and as shall be determined from time to time by the Manager, but subject in all instances to the supervision and control of the Manager.

                    (b) Signing Authority of Officers. The officers, if any, shall have such authority to sign checks, instruments and other documents on behalf of the Company as may be delegated to them by the Manager.

          5.6 Limitations on Power of Manager and Officers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, however, neither the Manager nor any officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall have any power or authority to approve or cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any of the following, without first obtaining the unanimous vote or written consent of all Board Members:

                    (a) entering into any contract with a supplier, customer, or partner that imposes material restrictions or limitations on the conduct of the Company or a Subsidiary such as, but not limited to, exclusivity provisions and non-compete provisions;

                    (b) entering into any contract that may restrict the payment of the Preferred Return;

                    (c) any borrowing of money (it being acknowledged that incurring customary trade payables in the ordinary course of business which when incurred are expected to be paid when due shall not be considered the borrowing of money ), other than pursuant to Section 3.2, which, after giving effect to the borrowing, causes the Company or a Subsidiary to have more than $25,000in principal amount of borrowings outstanding;

                    (d) any loan by the Company or a Subsidiary to any Person, any guaranty by the Company or a Subsidiary of any other Person s obligations or any investment by the Company or a Subsidiary in the business of any other Person;

                    (e) any transaction between the Company or a Subsidiary and a Member or Manager or any Affiliate of a Member or Manager, or any transaction between the Company or a Subsidiary and any Person in which a Member or Manager or any Affiliate of a Member or Manager has a material financial interest;

                    (f) any act which would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of the Company or a Subsidiary;

                    (g) the formation by the Company or a Subsidiary of any Subsidiary;

                    (h) the formation of any joint venture or any investment by the Company or a Subsidiary in another Person; or

                    (i) any other act for which the approval of the Board is required under this Agreement.

          5.7 Competing Activities. No Manager, Board Member or Member shall be obligated to present any prospective project, business venture, investment opportunity or economic advantage to the Company or any other Members, even if the opportunity is one of the character that, if presented to the Company or the other Members, could be taken by the Company or the other Members, and each Member shall have the right to hold any such prospective project, business venture, investment opportunity or economic advantage for its own account or to recommend the same to Persons other than the Company or the other Members. The Manager, Board Member, Members and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, managers, agents, employees and Affiliates may engage or invest in, independently or with others, any business activity of any type or description, including without limitation those that might be the same as or similar to the Company s business and that might be in direct or indirect competition with the Company. Neither the Company nor the other Members shall have the right in or to such other ventures or activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom.

          5.8 Intellectual Property.

                    (a) Company Intellectual Property. The Company shall, directly or indirectly through Subsidiaries, own all of the rights and assets of the Project, including, but not limited to land, equipment, seed procurement contracts, Jatropha oil off-take contracts, biomass sales and/or carbon credit sales agreements, as well as all intellectual property, whether patentable or not, created, developed, discovered, invented or acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Project. Any intellectual property created, developed, discovered or invented by GCE or its Affiliates or employees in connection with the performance of duties by or on behalf of GCE under this Agreement shall be considered developed by the Company and shall belong to the Company. GCE or its Affiliates or employees shall execute such intellectual property assignment documents as may be necessary from time to time to vest the Company with title to all such intellectual property rights. Each Member shall have a non-transferable, non-exclusive, perpetual, non-sublicenseable (other than to the Member s Affiliates) royalty-free license to use any intellectual property rights owned by the Company, which license shall survive the termination of a Member s Membership Interest or a dissolution of the Company.

                    (b) Member Intellectual Property. The Members acknowledge that, absent a separate written agreement between the Company and any of its Members, the Company shall have no rights to any intellectual property created, developed, discovered, invented or acquired by any of the Members or any intellectual property of another Person (other than the Company) which is used by such Member with the consent of such Person (any such intellectual property is referred to as Member IP ) without regard to whether any Member IP may be similar to intellectual property developed by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Member IP shall remain the property of the applicable Member and not the Company, notwithstanding that a Member may license or otherwise permit the Company to use Member IP. Any Member IP provided by a Member to the Company for its use may be used by the Company on a royalty free basis.

          5.9 Payments to the Manager and Others. The Company is authorized to pay any Person remuneration or reimbursement for goods and services provided to the Company; provided, however, that the Manager and its Affiliates shall be entitled to receive only the following remuneration or reimbursement:

                    (a) No Management Fee. The Manager shall not be entitled to any management fee or other compensation for its services as the Manager.

                    (b) Services Performed by Members or Affiliates. The Company shall pay the Members and their Affiliates for services rendered or goods provided by them to the Company to the extent that those Members or Affiliates are not required to render such services or goods themselves without charge to the Company, and to the extent that the fees paid to those Members or Affiliates do not exceed the fees that would be payable to independent responsible third parties that are willing to perform those services or provide those goods; provided, however, that in the case of the Manager or its Affiliates, the payment of such fees also is authorized under Section 5.4.

                    (c) Expenses. Subject to Section 5.10, the Company shall reimburse the Manager, Members and their respective Affiliates for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by them in connection with the business and affairs of the Company, as well as organizational expenses incurred by them to form the Company and to prepare the Certificate of Formation; provided, however, that (i) such costs and expenses are consistent with the Budget approved by the Board, (ii) the Company shall pay, or reimburse the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Trust for the payment of, any legal and accounting fees incurred by them in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, but GCE shall be solely responsible for the payment of its legal and accounting fees, (iii) GCE shall be solely responsible for the payment of any broker s, finders or comparable fees and costs relating to the formation, structuring and initial funding of the Company or the acquisition of any land by the Company or any Subsidiary, and (iv) unless expressly approved by the Board or in the Budget approved by the Board, the Manager and its Affiliates shall not be reimbursed by the Company for (A) any salaries, compensation or fringe benefits of directors, officers or employees of the Manager or their Affiliates or (B) any overhead expenses of the Manager or its Affiliates including, without limitation, rent and general office expenses.

          5.10 GCE Obligations for Public Company Compliance. GCE represents and warrants to the other Members that it is a publicly held company and that GCE presently intends to consolidate the financial results of the Company with its financial results and that of its Subsidiaries. GCE acknowledges that (a) as a publicly held company, GCE may need the financial results of the Company to be audited and/or to institute accounting or operating procedures or controls to satisfy applicable laws, rules, regulations or listing requirements, and (b) if GCE were not a publicly held company, the Company would not incur costs with respect to an audit or such procedures or controls. GCE agrees that GCE shall be solely responsible for, and shall pay directly, any audit costs, costs of establishing any such accounting procedures or controls and any other costs which the Company would not otherwise incur but for such laws, rules, regulations or listing requirements; provided, however, that to the extent that such costs are not capable of being paid directly by GCE, GCE shall promptly reimburse the Company for such costs. By way of example only, if an employee of the Company spends 50% of his time with respect to monitoring or complying with such procedures or controls, the Company would pay the employee his or her customary compensation and GCE would reimburse the Company for 50% of the cost thereof (including all the cost of all related benefits and taxes).

          6.1 Minimum Gain Chargeback. In the event that there is a net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain during any taxable year, the minimum gain chargeback described in Sections 1.704-2(f) and (g) of the Treasury Regulations shall apply.

Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or Distribution described in subparagraphs (4), (5) or (6) of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations, which adjustment, allocation or distribution creates or increases a deficit balance in that Member s Capital Account, shall be allocated items of book income and gain in accordance with the provisions of the qualified income offset as described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations.

          6.4 Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their Percentage Interests.

          6.5 Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members as required in Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Treasury Regulations in accordance with the manner in which the Members bear the burden of an Economic Risk of Loss corresponding to the Member Nonrecourse Deductions.

          6.6 Income from Exculpatory Liabilities.

Compliance with each and all of the obligations related to the Loan, in favor of the Mortgage Borrowers under the terms of the Limited Liability Agreement; and III. Compliance with each and all of the obligations deriving from the other documents deriving from or related to said loan (jointly referred to as the Guaranteed Obligations), all under the terms of this Document.

WHEREFORE, the Mortgage Borrower agrees as follows:

ONE. The Mortgage Borrower hereby acknowledges that it received a loan from the Mortgage Lenders, as of the date of this document, in the principal amount of USD$2,051,282.00 (Two Million Fifty One Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Two US Dollars), which was used to pay the seller to pay the purchase price for the Properties described in the Document mentioned in Recital I, as well as the costs, duties and fees incurred for the Properties.

TWO. The Mortgage Borrower hereby voluntarily constitutes a senior mortgage on the Properties in favor of the Mortgage Lenders, to guarantee payment and compliance with each and all of the Guaranteed Obligations as of the effective date (either by maturity, acceleration or any other form), including but not limited to payment of interest, delinquent interest, fees, costs and accessory amounts which become due at the expiration of the Payment Note, which includes (i) the Properties described in Recital Two (II) above, with the description, measurements and boundaries which are understood as though transcribed here; (ii) buildings and improvements built on said Properties or which may be built in the future; and (iii) installations and other goods that may be incorporated either now or in the future on said lot of land, buildings and improvements, which cannot be removed from the Properties without damaging the value of the lot of land, the buildings and improvements (jointly referred to as the Mortgage).

The Mortgage constituted herein by the Mortgage Borrower in favor of the Mortgage Lenders, is created in accordance with the terms of Articles 2076 and 2082 of the Civil Code for the State of Yucatan, and correlative Articles of the Civil Code for the Federal District.

The Mortgage includes, in addition to the above, natural accessories of the Properties, goods which may form a part of the Properties either de facto or de jure, easements and rights of way which may be on the Properties, and the goods which may in the future be destined by the Mortgage Borrower as utilities to the Properties and which may be incorporated to same, except for automotive vehicles.

THREE. The mortgage placed hereunder by the Mortgage Borrower on the Properties guarantees compliance with all of the Guaranteed Obligations, without limitation of any kind. Consequently none of the Properties shall be released from the Mortgage lien except as provided in the Payment Note, until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fulfilled, independently of whether the Mortgage Borrower or any other entity guarantees that the Mortgage Borrowers comply with all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, now or in the future, by virtue of other mortgages, pledges or any other form. Consequently the Mortgage Borrower by and through its representative herein, hereby waives the provisions of Articles 2058 and 2059 of the Civil Code in effect for the State of Yucatan, in favor of the Lenders.

FOUR. Without prejudice to the provisions of the foregoing Clauses, the Mortgage guarantees payment of the principal amount of the Loan up to the amount of USD$2,051,282.00 (Two Million Fifty One Thousand Two Hundred Eighty Two US Dollars), plus ordinary and delinquent interest accrued on said amount, including interest for more than three years WHICH SHALL BE DULY RECORDED WITH THE PUBLIC RECORDER OF DEEDS AND COMMERCE FOR THE STATE OF YUCATAN.

SIX. In the event the Mortgage Lenders decide to exercise the rights granted them by virtue of this document, the following shall apply:

a) The Mortgage Lenders shall have the right to determine the goods to be added to the properties covered by this mortgage, without having to submit to the provisions of Article 1395 of the Commercial Code and applicable provisions of the Code of Civil Procedures;

c) The depository named by the Mortgage Lenders shall pay all interest accrued on the Guaranteed Obligations from the product of the Properties and the attached goods, with no need for a Court order.

If the Mortgage Lenders exercise the rights granted them by virtue of this document, then the Mortgage Borrower expressly waives the right to be named as depository of the Properties and the attached goods.

SEVEN. The Mortgage shall remain in full force and effect until the date that all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid or covered unconditionally and in full.

EIGHT. The failure of the Mortgage Borrower to make any of the amounts payable pursuant to the Payment Note, principal or interest, or any other amount that may be due under the terms of the Payment Note, shall give the Mortgage Lenders the right to execute the Mortgage constituted by virtue hereof.

Likewise in the event that GCE acquires all or part of the Membership Interests (as defined in the Limited Liability Agreement) of the Resnick Trust and the Zilkha Trust, and GCE does not satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations in full, then the Mortgage Lenders shall have the right to exercise the Mortgage constituted by virtue hereof.

NINE. While the Mortgage remains in effect, the Properties cannot be subdivided or modified in any way without the prior written consent of the Mortgage Lenders, understanding that the Mortgage on the Properties shall prevail over all of the Properties, regardless of whether said Property has been subdivided or modified.
