If so requested by the Managing Member or a Member pursuant to the foregoing provisions, such contributions shall be due within five (5) Business Days thereafter (or by the 1st calendar day of the next month, whichever is later).

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a failure by any Member to make any Additional Capital Contribution to the extent required or requested hereunder shall not constitute an Event of Default by such Member and the sole consequences of such failure shall be as set forth in this Section 4.2. If BH or CH (the “Non-Contributing Party”) fails to timely make all or any portion of any Additional Capital Contribution as requested pursuant to Section 4.2(a) above and the other party (the “Contributing Party”) makes all of its share of any Additional Capital Contribution as requested pursuant to Section 4.2(a) above, then the Contributing Party may make the full amount of such Additional Capital Contribution on behalf of the Non-Contributing Party (any such Capital Contribution by a Contributing Party, a “Substitute Contribution”). In such an event, the Contributing Party may elect by written notice given within five (5) Business Days of making the Substitute Contribution either (i) to treat the entire amount contributed by the Contributing Party (including both the Contributing Party’s and the Non-Contributing Party’s pro rata portion thereof) as a Priority Capital Contribution (a “Priority Capital Contribution”) by such Contributing Party in accordance with Section 4.2(c) below, or (ii) to treat the Substitute Contribution as a regular Capital Contribution in accordance with Section 4.2(d) below.

 

(c)                                  To the extent any Contributing Party elects to treat its own Additional Capital Contribution and such Substitute Contribution as a Priority Capital Contribution, such Priority Capital Contribution shall be returned on a priority basis together with an eighteen percent (18%) per annum cumulative annual preferred return thereon as provided in Section 6.3(a) and/or Section 6.4(a), as applicable.

 

(d)                                 If a Contributing Party elects to treat a Substitute Contribution as a regular Capital Contribution, then the Contribution Percentage of the Contributing Party shall be adjusted to equal the percentage equivalent of the quotient determined by dividing:

 

(i)                                     the positive difference, if any, between:

 

20



 

(A)                               the sum of (I) one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (excluding Substitute Contributions) then or theretofore made by such Member to the Company, plus (II) two hundred percent (200%) of the Substitute Contributions then or theretofore made by such Member to the Company (the excess of 200% of such Member’s Substitute Contributions over the actual amount of such Member’s Substituted Contributions is referred to herein as the “Excess Amounts”); minus

 

(B)                               the Substitute Contributions then or theretofore made by the other Member to the Company; by

 

(ii)                                  one hundred percent (100%) of the aggregate Capital Contributions (including, without limitation, Substitute Contributions) then or theretofore made by all of the Members to the Company.

 

and the Contribution Percentage of the Non-Contributing Party shall be reduced by the percentage necessary to insure that the Contribution Percentages add up to 100%. At the same time, the Promote Percentages of each Member shall be adjusted (increased or decreased in the same proportions as the Contribution Percentages were adjusted pursuant to the foregoing provisions (e.g., if a Member’s Contribution Percentage is reduced by half or 50%, then the Promote Percentages of such Member will also be reduced by half or 50%). In addition, an amount of Unreturned Capital Contributions equal to such Excess Amount shall be treated as having been transferred from the Non-Contributing Party to the Contributing Party but such transfer shall be solely for the purpose of computing preferred return pursuant to Sections 6.3(b) and 6.4(b) and Unreturned Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 6.4(c) with the result that each Member will have Unreturned Capital Contributions in proportion to its adjusted Contribution Percentage after giving effect to such transfer. The Capital Accounts shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

Any Non-Contributing Party shall have until seventy-five (75) days after the date on which its missed Additional Capital Contribution (the “Missed Contribution”) was due in order to cure its failure to make such Missed Contribution by depositing into an account designated by the Contributing Party an amount equal to the amount of the Missed Contribution together with interest thereon at a eighteen percent (18%) per annum rate (or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law, if lower) from the due date established by the Managing Member until such amount has been so deposited in full into such account, at which point such amount shall promptly be distributed to the Contributing Party if and to the extent the Contributing Party made a Substitute Contribution on account of the Missed Contribution. If the Non-Contributing Party makes such deposits as aforesaid, any adjustment to Contribution Percentages, dilution of the Promote Percentages (and the distributions affected thereby) and transfers of Unreturned Capital Contributions caused by its failure to make the applicable Additional Capital Contribution shall be unwound, and the payment, dilution and transfers described above shall not be reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts.

 

(e)                                  Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the other Members would not be entering into this Agreement were it not for (i) the Members agreeing to make the Capital Contributions provided for in this Section 4.2, and (ii) the remedy provisions set forth above in

 

21



 

this Section 4.2. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that in the event any Member fails to make its Capital Contributions pursuant to this Agreement, the other Members will suffer substantial damages and the remedy provisions set forth above are fair, just and equitable in all respects.

 

(f)                                   All Capital Contributions shall be made by wire transfer of funds to accounts designated by the Managing Member from time to time.

 

(g)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if CH’s Contribution Percentage is reduced below three percent (3%) as a result of the application of the provisions of this Section 4.2 after expiration of the cure period above, then CH shall have no right to vote on or Approve any Major Decision, the Budget, or any other matter which may or could result in a Deadlock Event.

 

4.3                               Capital Accounts. A separate Capital Account will be maintained for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Consistent therewith, the Capital Account of each Member will be determined and adjusted as follows:

 

(a)                                 Each Member’s Capital Account will be credited with:

 

(i)                                     any contributions of cash made by such Member to the capital of the Company plus the fair market value of any property contributed by such Member to the capital of the Company (net of any liabilities to which such property is subject or which are assumed by the Company);

 

(ii)                                  the Member’s distributive share of Net Profit and any items in the nature of income or gain specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.2; and

 

(iii)                               any other increases required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), without duplication.

 

(b)                                 Each Member’s Capital Account will be debited with:

 

(i)                                     any distributions of cash made from the Company to such Member plus the fair market value of any property distributed in kind to such Member (net of any liabilities to which such property is subject or which are assumed by such Member);

 

(ii)                                  the Member’s distributive share of Net Loss and any items in the nature of expenses or losses specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.2; and

 

(iii)                               any other decreases required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), without duplication.

 

(c)                                  In the event all or a portion of 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. In determining the

 

22



 

amount of any liability for purposes of the foregoing, Code Section 752(c) and any applicable provisions of the Code shall be taken into account

 

(d)                                 The provisions of this Section 4.3 and any other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts have been included in this Agreement to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those provisions. Subject to the Approval of BH, in the event the Managing Member determines that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts are maintained in order to comply with such Treasury Regulations, the Managing Member may make such modification(s) provided that any such modifications is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

4.4                               No Further Capital Contributions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or with the prior written consent of all of the Members, no Member shall be required or entitled to contribute any other or further capital to the Company, nor shall any Member be required or entitled to loan any funds to the Company. No Member will have any obligation to restore any negative balance in its Capital Account at any time including upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

4.5                               Acquisition Loan.

 

(a)                                 It is acknowledged that both BH and the Managing Member on behalf of the Company shall use good faith efforts to secure a permanent loan secured by the Property in the approximate aggregate amount of $26,000,000 (the “Acquisition Loan”) on terms which are acceptable to both BH and CH, the proceeds of which will be applied on the Closing Date to pay a portion of the purchase price for the Property under the Purchase Agreement.

 

(b)                                 If either BH or the Managing Member does not Approve a financing proposal for the Acquisition Loan presented by the other party (the “Presenting Member”), the party who fails to Approve such proposal (the “Rejecting Member”) must identify to the Presenting Member the basis for such disapproval in writing, and provided that the Seller under the Purchase Agreement agrees to extend the Closing Date, and the Rejecting Member will thereafter have a period of sixty (60) calendar days in which to obtain an alternative financing commitment including terms not materially worse (taken as a whole) than the financing terms originally proposed by the Presenting Member and including improved or different terms with respect to the item(s) the Rejecting Member originally identified as the reason for its disapproval. If the Rejecting Member has not delivered to the Presenting Member a financing commitment on such revised terms by the end of such sixty-day period, the Presenting Member shall be empowered to alone cause the Company to Approve the original financing proposal by such Member (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.1(a)(ii)). Each Member agrees to act in a commercially reasonable manner in proposing, voting to Approve or dis-Approve or otherwise acting in connection with a financing proposal under Section 7.1(a)(ii) or under this Section 4.5.

 

(c)                                  The CH Persons will be the Key Principal (as such term is defined in the Loan Documents) and shall be responsible for the non-recourse carve-outs under the Loan

 

23



 

Documents. Except in the case of an acquisition of CH’s interest by BH as provided in this Agreement, neither BH nor any of its affiliates shall be designated as the Key Principal liable under any non-recourse carve-outs under the Loan Documents, provided that the Loan Documents may provide for the substitution of BH or an Affiliate of BH acceptable to BH and the Lender as Key Principal.

 

(i)                                     In the event of a removal of the Managing Member and/or the acquisitions of the Interests of CH under any provision of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, under Article XV or Article XVI except in those instances as specifically set forth in subsection (ii) below, BH shall (1) obtain the substitution of the Key Principal and the release of the Key Principal under the Loan Documents from liability under the Guaranty and the Indemnity as to acts, events or omissions occurring or obligations arising after the effective date of such release; provided, however, that the terms of such release may not apply to any acts, events or omissions which occurred prior to the effective date of the release, whether or not the effects of or damages from such acts, events or omissions are apparent or ascertainable as of such effective date (a “Carve-out Release”); and (2) if BH is unable to obtain the Carve-Out Release from the Lender after making commercially reasonable efforts to do so, or to extent a Carve-Out Release is not a full and complete release, the Indemnification Agreement shall remain in place with respect to any unreleased liability relating to matters that would otherwise be subject to the Indemnification Agreement, and provided further that if BH Opp REIT II does not have a minimum net worth of $15,000,000 at the time that the Carve-Out Release would otherwise be required to be provided, the parties agree that the Property shall be marketed and sold in a commercially reasonable manner as expeditiously as possible in lieu of the removal of the Managing Member or acquisition of CH’s interests, unless the parties otherwise agree differently (and provided that if CH would have been otherwise terminated as the Managing Member due to a Promote-Loss For Cause Event or an Event of Default, the provisions of Section 6.5 will govern any distributions to CH).

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in subsection (i) above, if the Managing Member is being removed or a substitution of the Managing Member is being made under any provision of this Agreement that allows for such removal or substitution in connection with an event that has (due directly or indirectly to the actions or inactions of Managing Member or another member of the CH Group) caused the Company or the Key Principal to have personal liability under the non-recourse carve-outs under the Loan Documents, BH shall have no obligation to obtain a Carve-out Release or provide a Carve-Out Indemnification of the Key Principal for any such acts in relation to the removal or substitution of the Managing Member, except as such liability or liabilities arose directly or indirectly due to the actions or inactions of BH and/or its Affiliates.

 

(d)                                 In recognition that BH’s actions or inactions, pursuant to the powers, controls and authority reserved to BH in this Agreement, could cause the Key Principal to

 

24



 

become liable for certain non-recourse carve outs under the Loan Documents, BH, a BH Affiliate acceptable to the Key Principal, the Key Principal and the CH Member Group shall enter into the Indemnification Agreement simultaneously with this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 

6.1                               Allocations. After application of Section 6.2, Profits and Losses for each fiscal year or the applicable portion thereof shall be allocated among the Members as of each Adjustment Date so as to reduce, proportionally, in the case of Profits, the differences between

 

25



 

their respective Target Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts as of each Adjustment Date and in the case of Losses, the differences between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Accounts as of each Adjustment Date. To the extent, that in the fiscal year in which all or substantially all of the Company’s assets are disposed of, or in the fiscal year in which the Company is liquidated, the allocation of Profit or Loss set forth in the preceding sentence does not cause each Member’s Partially Adjusted Capital Account to equal such Member’s Target Account, items of income or gain will be reallocated to any Member with a Partially Adjusted Capital Account which is less than its Target Account, and items of loss, deduction or expense will be reallocated to any Member with a Partially Adjusted Capital Account that is greater than its Target Account, in such manner as to reduce, to the greatest extent possible, the difference between each Member’s respective Target Account and its Partially Adjusted Capital Account.

 

6.2                               Allocations and Compliance with Section 704(b). The following special allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be made in the following order:

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or in any Member Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period, prior to any other allocation pursuant hereto, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Profit for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount and manner required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4). The items of Profit to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.

 

(b)                                 Non-recourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated (as nearly as possible) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2 to the Members, pro rata in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages.

 

(c)                                  Any Member Non-recourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated to the Member that made or guarantied or is otherwise liable with respect to the loan to which such Member Non-recourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with principles under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

 

(d)                                 Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which causes or increases a negative balance in his or its Capital Account shall be allocated items of Profit sufficient to eliminate such increase or negative balance caused thereby, as quickly as possible, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation.

 

(e)                                  No allocation of an item of Loss shall be made to any Member if, as a result of such allocation, such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Any such disallowed allocation shall be made to the Members entitled to receive such allocation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages.

 

(f)                                   For purposes of Section 752 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, excess non-recourse liabilities (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations

 

26



 

Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages.

(a)                                 First, an amount of such Net Cash Flow will be distributed (in the order and priority set forth below in this Section 6.3(a)) to the Members that have made Priority Capital Contributions until each of such Members has received aggregate distributions pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.4(a) for the current period and all previous periods, equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of its Priority Capital Contributions made pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) an eighteen percent (18%) per annum (using a 360 day year) cumulative preferred returned thereon (amounts distributed under this Section 6.3(a) will be distributed in the reverse order in which such Priority Capital Contributions were made — that is, the most recent Priority Capital Contribution, together with the eighteen percent (18%) per annum cumulative preferred return thereon, will be returned and paid first to the Member having made such Priority Capital Contribution, and then the next most recent Priority Capital Contribution, together with the eighteen percent (18%) per annum cumulative preferred return thereon, will be returned and paid to the Member having made such Priority Capital Contribution, etc.);

 

(b)                                 Second, remaining Net Cash Flow, if any, shall be distributed pari passu to each Member until each Member has received an amount equal to its Unreturned Capital Contributions, with such distributions being made pro rata to each Member in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages;

 

(c)                                  Third, remaining Net Cash Flow, if any, shall be distributed pari passu to the Members in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages until the Members have received aggregate distributions sufficient to generate a 15% IRR in respect to such Members’ respective Capital Contributions (excluding any Priority Capital Contributions);

6.4                               Distributions from Capital Transactions. Except as provided in Sections 6.5 and 6.6, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practical (but no less often than monthly, if appropriate), make distributions of Net Capital Proceeds (after establishment of appropriate and reasonable reserves, as determined by the Managing Member or to the extent set forth in an Approved Budget) to the Members in the following manner and order of priority:

(c)                                  third, remaining Net Capital Proceeds, if any, shall be distributed pari passu to the Members in accordance with their respective Capital Contributions until the Members have received aggregate distributions sufficient to generate a 15% IRR in respect to such Members’ respective Capital Contributions (excluding any Priority Capital Contributions);

 

(d)                                 fourth, remaining Net Capital Proceeds, if any, shall be distributed to the Members with (i) a percentage of such remaining Net Capital Proceeds being distributed to CH equal to the First Tier Promote Percentage and (ii) the remaining percentage of such remaining Net Capital Proceeds to the Members (pro rata in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages) until aggregate distributions have been made to the Members in an amount necessary to provide an 20% IRR to all Members (i.e., to the extent that there are any remaining Net Capital Proceeds to be distributed under this Section 6.4(d), 10% of the remaining Net Capital Proceeds will be distributed to CH and 90% of the remaining Net Capital Proceeds will be distributed to the Members pari passu, with the distributions to the Members being on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages, until an 20% IRR in respect to such Members’ respective Capital Contributions (excluding any Priority Capital Contributions) has been achieved by the Members);

 

(e)                                  fifth, remaining Net Capital Proceeds, if any, shall be distributed to the Members with (i) a percentage of such remaining Net Capital Proceeds being distributed to CH equal to the Second Tier Promote Percentage and (ii) the remaining percentage of such remaining Net Capital Proceeds to the Members (pro rata in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages) until aggregate distributions have been made to the Members in an amount necessary to provide an 25% IRR to all Members (i.e., to the extent that there are any remaining Net Capital Proceeds to be distributed under this Section 6.4 (e), 20% of the remaining Net Capital Proceeds will be distributed to CH and 80% of the remaining Net Capital Proceeds will be distributed to the Members pari passu, with the distributions to the Members being on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages, until a 25% IRR in

(f)                                   sixth, thereafter, remaining Net Capital Proceeds, if any, shall be distributed to the Members, with (i) a percentage of such remaining Net Capital Proceeds being distributed to CH equal to the Third Tier Promote Percentage and (ii) the remaining percentage of such remaining Net Capital Proceeds to the Members (pro rata in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages) (i.e., to the extent that there is any remaining Net Capital Proceeds, 30% of the remaining Net Capital Proceeds will be distributed to CH and 70% of the remaining Net Capital Proceeds will be distributed to the Members pari passu, with the distributions to the Members being on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Contribution Percentages).

 

6.5                               Special Distributions. From and after the time CH shall have been terminated as the Managing Member due to a Promote-Loss For Cause Event or an Event of Default, Net Cash Flow otherwise distributable under Section 6.3 and Net Capital Proceeds otherwise distributable under Section 6.4(d) shall not be distributed as provided in such Sections but rather shall be distributed as provided pursuant to this Section 6.5, and, except as provided in Section 6.6, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practical (but no less often than monthly, if appropriate), make distributions of such Net Cash Flow of Net Capital Proceeds (i) first, as provided in Section 6.3(a), and (ii) second, to the Members in proportion to their respective Contribution Percentages.

(b)                                 A pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members under the preceding provisions of this Section 6.6 shall be withheld by the Liquidating Member in order to pay all debts and other liquidated amounts known to be owed by the Company and, with the Approval of the Members, an additional amount (pro rata as to each Member otherwise entitled to distributions upon liquidation) may be distributed to a trust reasonably established, for a reasonable period of time, for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any trust established under this Section 6.6 will be distributed to the Members from time to time by the trustee of the trust in the same proportions as the amount would otherwise have been distributed by the Company to the Members under this Agreement.

 

6.7                               Tax Matters. The Members intend for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. BH shall make all applicable elections, determinations and other decisions under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations to the extent not provided for

 

29



 

herein, including, without limitation, the deductibility of a particular item of expense and the positions to be taken on the Company’s tax return, and shall approve the settlement or compromise of all audit matters raised by the Internal Revenue Service affecting the Members generally. The CH Member Group shall take reporting positions on their respective federal, state and local income tax returns consistent with the positions determined for the Company by BH.

6.8                               Tax Matters Partner. BH shall be the tax matters partner within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and, subject to Section 6.6, shall exercise all rights, obligations and duties of a tax matters partner under the Code; and the CH Member Group shall be kept informed of, and be given an opportunity to participate in a non-binding manner in, all such matters which the tax matters partner deems to be material.

 

6.9                               Section 704(c).

Any elections, accounting conventions or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by BH in a manner that (i) reasonably reflects the purposes and intention of this Agreement, (ii) complies with Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and (iii) with respect to reverse Section 704(c) allocations, treat CH and BH on a pari passu basis.

(e)                                  Upon and after the occurrence of any For Cause Event as described in this Section 7.2(e), or any Event of Default with respect to any member of the CH Member Group, in each case subject to any applicable cure rights, BH shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate CH as the Managing Member by the delivery of (1) written notice of such termination to Managing Member and (2) to the extent required under this Agreement, obtaining a Carve-Out Release of the Key Principal or delivering or maintain a Carve-Out Indemnity from BH Opp REIT II substantially in the form of the Indemnification Agreement as provided in Section 4.5(c), then (x) BH may cause the Company to terminate any Management Agreement with an Affiliate of CH immediately and without payment of a termination fee, (2) BH may designate a successor Managing Member (which may be itself or an Affiliate of BH), (3) any distributions to the Members under Sections 6.3 and 6.4 shall no longer be made under Sections 6.3 and 6.4 hereof and from that time forward shall be made instead under Section 6.5 hereof, and (4) BH may make a Buy-Sell Offer under Section 15.1 and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, BH shall have the unilateral right and authority to make all decisions on behalf of the Company and cause the Company to take any and all actions which BH, in its sole discretion, may determine. For the purposes of this Agreement, a “For Cause Event” shall mean any of the following:

 

(i)                                     any actions or omissions on the part of (i) any on-site personnel that are not cured as provided below or (ii) the CH Member Group or any of its representatives (including, without limitation any CH Person), or by any other Person at the explicit direction of any manager of CH or any CH Person which amounts to fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence; provided, however, that with respect to any fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence by any on-site personnel not acting at the explicit direction of an CH Person (or at the explicit direction of another Person acting at the explicit direction of a CH Person), CH shall have the right to cure any damage or loss to the Company resulting from an above-described action or omission within a Reasonable Period, which cure may include, but is not limited to, payment by CH to the Company of the amount of any such damage or loss, and upon completion of such cure within a Reasonable Period, it shall be deemed that no For Cause Event has occurred as a result of any such act or omission by any on-site personnel; or

41



 

reasonable objection to such action in a written notice to the Managing Member). Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this Subsection (iii), BH may not declare that a For Cause Event has occurred relating to a failure to obtain BH’s Approval to a Major Decision that is susceptible to cure without first providing Managing Member with written notice of same and allowing Managing Member a 10-day period to cure any monetary default (to the extent a For Cause Event relating to a Major Decision can be cured by the payment of money) and the right to cure any other non-monetary act or omission susceptible of cure) within a Reasonable Period by (A) reversing such action (to the extent such action can be reversed without the Company or BH suffering any damage or liability), or (B) taking such other steps as may be necessary to cure any damage or loss to the Company or BH to the reasonable satisfaction of BH resulting from such unauthorized action or omission within a Reasonable Period. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the inadvertent failure to CH to obtain the consent of BH to the following actions may be susceptible of cure and to the extent any such event does not constitute a monetary default for which the Managing Member has a 10-day cure period, accordingly, CH shall be afforded a Reasonable Period to cure same: the Major Decisions described in Sections 7.1(a)(i)-(viii), 7.1(a)(xiv)-(xxi), 7.1(a)(xxviii), 7.1(a)(xxx), 7.1(a)(xxxviii), 7.1(a)(xlii), and 7.1(a)(xlv)-(xlvi).

47



 

2012, which include projected costs to operate the Company and make Property improvements and capital expenditures to be set forth therein to be made in the budget period following acquisition of the Property (the “Initial Approved Budget and Operating Plan”), which have been Approved by BH. Thereafter, commencing for the 2013 fiscal year, the Budget and Operating Plan shall be prepared in proposed form and submitted annually by the Managing Member to BH for Approval at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the end of the current fiscal year (so that the Managing Member will submit a Budget and Operating Plan for the 2013 fiscal year no later than November 1, 2012 to BH for its Approval) with respect to the following fiscal year, together with five (5) year forward projections (provided if the Managing Member should fail to timely prepare and submit in proposed form any such Budget and Operating Plan, BH shall be authorized to prepare such Budget and Operating Plan and submit it to the Managing Member for informational purposes and for use by the Managing Member in carrying out its duties under this Agreement).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Member (acting on the Company’s behalf) shall take any action which would cause BH (or its REIT affiliates) to (a) fail to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” (as defined under Sections 856 & 857 of the Code) or (b) incur any additional taxes under Section 857 or

 

48



 

Section 4981 of the Code (or any successor provisions). In particular, the Company shall conduct its business affairs in a manner so as to avoid incurring income that would not qualify under Sections 856(c)(2) and 856(c)(3) of the Code and will not acquire assets that are not described in Section 856(c)(4) of the Code unless approved by BH. The Members shall periodically consult with each other (or their designee) to ensure that any prospective transaction undertaken by the Company, or a Member acting on behalf of the Company, shall not cause BH (or its REIT affiliates) to fail to qualify as a REIT. If the Members disagree as to whether any transaction will cause BH (or its REIT affiliates) to fail to qualify as a REIT (as defined under Sections 856 and 857 of the Code) or incur any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code (or any successor provisions), the determination of BH shall be final.

 

ARTICLE IX
TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

 

9.1                               No Transfer. Except as expressly permitted or contemplated by this Agreement (including pursuant to Sections 9.2 below, and pursuant to Article XV), no Member may sell, assign, give, hypothecate, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer (“Transfer”) all or any portion of its Interest, whether directly or indirectly, without the Approval of the other Members. Any Transfer in contravention of this Article IX shall be null and void. In no event shall any Member transfer all or any part of its Interest to any Person if, as a result of such Transfer, a Prohibited Person would be the direct, indirect, or beneficial owner of all or a portion of such Interest. No Member, without the prior Approval of the other Members, shall resign from the Company except as permitted by this Article IX. Nothing in this Article IX is meant to or will be interpreted to restrict in any way the ability of any equity holder in Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. BHO II, Inc., BHO Business Trust II or Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP II, LP and/or their constituent owners from transferring securities issued by such entities.

 

9.2                               Permitted Transfers.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement but subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, BH and the CH Member Group may from time to time without the consent or Approval of BH or the CH Member Group, as applicable, Transfer (directly or indirectly) all or any portion of its direct or indirect interest in the Company to any Affiliate other than a Prohibited Person; provided, however, that any such Transfer (either individually or when aggregated with any other prior Transfer by such Member or CH Member Group under this Section 9.2(a)) shall not result in a Change in Control.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement but subject to the terms of the Loan Documents, any Member, its constituents and/or the direct or indirect individual holders of any interest in the Company may Transfer (directly or indirectly) all or any portion of its direct or indirect interest in the Company to any Person (other than a Prohibited Person) for estate planning purposes or to a trust for the benefit of the immediate family members of the ultimate direct or indirect individual holders of an interest in such Member on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that, any such Transfer (either individually or when aggregated with any other prior Transfers by such Member or CH Member Group under this Section 9.2(b)) shall not result in a Change in Control.

 

49


 

(c)           A transferee under Sections 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b) in which the Transfer otherwise complies with all of the requirements of this Article IX is a “Permitted Transferee.” Any permitted Transfer under Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b) above shall not relieve the transferor of any of its obligations prior to such Transfer. The parties hereto agree to amend the transfer provisions of Article IX if any Member reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Nothing contained in this Article IX shall prohibit a Transfer indirectly of any Interest in the Company if a direct Transfer would otherwise be permitted under this Section 9.2. Subject to Section 9.3, any Permitted Transferee pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall become a Member of the Company. The provisions of this Section 9.2 will not apply to or be deemed to authorize or permit any collateral transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, a Member’s Interest in the Company, or in Company Property (which transfer or grant shall be subject to the other provisions of this Agreement).

 

(d)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is required by applicable Law to recognize a Transfer that is not a permitted Transfer (an “Unapproved Transfer”) (or if the Managing Member and the non-transferring Member(s), in its (or their) sole discretion, shall elect to recognize but not Approve a Transfer that is not a permitted Transfer), the Interest Transferred shall be strictly limited to the transferor’s rights to allocations and distributions as provided by this Agreement with respect to the transferred Interest, which allocations and distributions may be applied (without limiting any other legal or equitable rights of the Company) to satisfy any debts, obligations, or liabilities for damages that the transferor or transferee of such Interest may have to the Company or any other Member prior to any other allocations or distributions relating to the Unapproved Transfer. In the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer of an Interest that is not a permitted Transfer, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all cost, liability and damage that any of such indemnified Persons may incur (including, without limitation, incremental tax liability and lawyers’ fees and expenses) as a result of such Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby. A Person who acquires an Interest in an Unapproved Transfer as provided in this Section 9.2(d) but who is not admitted as a substituted Member shall be entitled only to allocations and distributions with respect to such Interest in accordance with this Agreement, and shall have no right to any information or accounting of the affairs of the Company, shall not be entitled to inspect the books or records of the Company, and shall not have any of the rights of a Member under the Act or this Agreement, including any voting rights; provided, however, that no rights, including but not limited to rights to distributions, shall be transferred or permitted with respect to any Interest if a Prohibited Person would be the direct, indirect or beneficial owner of all or any portion of such rights.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, to the extent any transfer is prohibited or requires the Lender’s consent under the Loan Documents, no transfer shall be permitted until such lender’s consent is obtained and any transfer must be done in accordance with any applicable lender’s consent or approval and the requirements of the Loan Documents. Any transfer prohibited under the Loan Documents which is not consented to as provided above shall be null and void. To the extent that any fees or expenses are incurred in connection with a lender’s consent or approval, including a transfer fee and lender’s legal fees, the party requesting such consent in connection with its proposed transfer shall be responsible for

 

50



 

payment of all such fees and expenses, the payment thereof being a condition precedent to any such transfer

 

9.3          Transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no transferee of all or any portion of any Interest shall be admitted as a Member unless (a) such Interest is transferred in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, (b) such transferee shall have furnished evidence of satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9.2 reasonably satisfactory to a Majority-In-Interest of the remaining Members, and (c) such transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company such instruments as a Majority-In-Interest of the remaining Members reasonably deem necessary or desirable to effectuate the admission of such transferee as a Member and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Interest. At the request of a Majority-In-Interest of the remaining Members, each such transferee shall also cause to be delivered to the Company, at the transferee’s sole cost and expense, a favorable opinion of legal counsel, to the effect that (i) such transferee has the legal right, power and capacity to own the Interest proposed to be transferred, (ii) if applicable, such Transfer does not violate any provision of any loan commitment or any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument encumbering all or any portion of the Company Property or any Loan Document, and (iii) such Transfer does not violate any federal or state securities Laws and will not cause the Company to become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As promptly as practicable after the admission of any Person as a Member, the books and records of the Company shall be changed to reflect such admission. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any Transfer of any Interest and, if applicable, the admission of any transferee as a Member shall be paid by such transferee.

 

9.4          Section 754 Election. In the event of a Transfer of all or part of the Interest of a Member, at the request of the transferee or if required by the Code, or if otherwise in the best interests of the Company (as determined by a Majority-In-Interest of the Members), the Company shall elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of Company Property as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code, and any cost of such election or cost of administering or accounting for such election shall be at the sole cost and expense of the requesting transferee.

(a)           The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Member, the Managing Member and each general or limited partner of any Member or such Member’s Affiliates, shareholders, members, partners or other holders of any equity interest in such Member or its Affiliates, or any manager, officer or director of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any losses, claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) and causes of action imposed on, incurred by, asserted against or to which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject by reason of or in connection with any breach of fiduciary duty or matter arising out of or incidental to any act performed or omitted to be performed by any such Indemnitee in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs; provided, that any such act or omission was taken in good faith, was reasonably believed by the applicable Indemnitee to be in the best interest of the Company and was within the scope of authority granted to such Member or applicable Indemnitee, and in the case of a Member or related Indemnitee, was not attributable to such Indemnitee’s fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence or the breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation by such Person contained in this Agreement.

All judgments against the Company and the Members, or any one or more thereof, wherein such Member (or Members) is entitled to indemnification, must first be satisfied from Company assets.

 

(b)           The Company and each Member shall be indemnified and held harmless by the other Member from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages, expenses and causes of action of any nature whatsoever, excluding consequential, indirect or special damages, arising out of or attributable to (i) any act performed by or on behalf of such Member (including acts performed as the Managing Member) which is not performed in good faith or is not reasonably believed by such Member to be in the best interest of the Company and within the scope of authority conferred upon such Member under this Agreement, (ii) the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence of such Member, (iii) the breach by the Company of any of its representations and warranties made under any Transaction Document, which breach was the result of information or matters relating to such Member and provided by such member which information was untrue when provided, or (iv) any final denial of an insurance claim by the Company based on an intentional misstatement or intentional withholding of information by any Member.

 

52



 

(c)           The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive for a period of two years from the date of dissolution of the Company, provided that, if at the end of such period there are any actions, proceedings or investigations then pending, any Indemnitee may so notify the Company and the other Members at such time (which notice shall include a brief description of each such action, proceeding or investigation and the liabilities asserted therein) and the provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive with respect to each such action, proceeding or investigation set forth in such notice (or any related action, proceeding or investigation based upon the same or similar claim) until such date that such action, proceeding or investigation is finally resolved, so long as the same is pursued with reasonable diligence.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Company or any Member under this Section 10.2 shall (i) be in addition to any liability which the Company or such Member may otherwise have and (ii) inure to the benefit of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates and their respective members, partners, shareholders, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates and any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Persons.

 

(e)           Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of this Section 10.2, in no event shall the Company have any obligation under this Section 10.2 that is prohibited by the charter of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc., as same may exist as of the date of this Agreement or after any amendment hereafter made in order to comply with laws and regulations applicable to real estate investment trusts. BH represents and warrants to CH that there is no Company obligation under this Section 10.2 that is prohibited by the charter of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc., as such charter exists as of the date of this Agreement.

 

(f)            In the event that (i) BH does not Approve any request by the Managing Member (a) under Section 7.(1)(a)(xxxviii) relating to the adoption of and implementation of any operation and maintenance program or any other program to remove or otherwise remediate hazardous materials or relating to the introduction or allowance of any substance regulated of as a hazardous substance under applicable Law, (b) for any Additional Capital Contributions, or use of Net Cash Flow, necessary to prevent waste to the Property (provided that CH has notified BH that the failure to approve and fund Additional Capital Contributions or use Net Cash Flow may result in waste as such term is used in the Loan Documents) of the property, or (ii) BH fails to maintain any Insurance required to under the Loan Documents that BH has agreed to or is required to maintain, or (iii) BH makes any Transfers prohibited under the Loan Documents without first obtaining the Lender’s consent, or (iv) BH causes a Bankruptcy Event by the Company in violation of the Loan Documents, BH (and not the Company) shall indemnify the CH persons who are Key Principals from and against any losses, claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) and causes of action imposed on, incurred by, asserted against or to which such Key Principals may otherwise become subject under the Loan Documents as a result of any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE XI
DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

 

11.1        Dissolution.

 

(a)           The Company shall be dissolved and its business wound up upon the earliest to occur of any of the following events:

 

(i)            the sale, condemnation or other disposition of all Company Property and the receipt of all consideration therefor;

 

(ii)           the unanimous agreement of the Members to dissolve the Company;

 

(iii)          the bankruptcy or dissolution of the last remaining Member (which shall not include the occurrence of such an event with respect to any Member’s constituent equity owners which does not cause such an event to occur with respect to the Member itself) or the occurrence of any other event that terminates the continued membership of all Members in the Company; or

 

(iv)          the occurrence of an event requiring the winding-up of the Company under the Delaware Act.

 

(b)           Without limitation on, but subject to, the other provisions hereof, the assignment of all or any part of a Member’s Interest permitted hereunder will not result in the dissolution of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member agrees that, without the Approval of the other Members, a Member may not withdraw from or cause a voluntary dissolution of the Company. In the event a Member withdraws from or causes a voluntary dissolution of the Company in contravention of this Agreement, such withdrawal or the causing of a voluntary dissolution shall not affect such Member’s liability hereunder.

 

11.2        Termination. In all cases of dissolution of the Company, the business of the Company shall be wound up and the Company terminated as promptly as practicable thereafter, and each of the following shall be accomplished:

 

(a)           The Liquidating Member shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of dissolution, a copy of which statement shall be furnished to all of the Members.

 

(b)           The Company Property shall be liquidated by the Liquidating Member as promptly as possible, but in an orderly and businesslike and commercially reasonable manner and subject to the provisions of the Operating Plan then in effect or a liquidating plan Approved by BH. The Liquidating Member may distribute Company Property in kind only with the Approval of all Members.

 

(c)           The proceeds of sale and all other assets of the Company shall be applied and distributed as follows and in the following order of priority:

 

54



 

(i)            first, to the payment of (A) the debts and liabilities of the Company (including any outstanding amounts due on any indebtedness encumbering the Company Property, or any part thereof) and (B) the expenses of liquidation;

 

(ii)           second, subject to the Approval of BH, to the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Member and the Managing Member shall determine to be reasonably necessary for contingent, unliquidated or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or any Member arising out of or in connection with the Company. Such reserves may, in the discretion of the Liquidating Member, be paid over to a national bank or national title company selected by it and authorized to conduct business as an escrow agent to be held by such bank or title company as escrow agent for the purposes of disbursing such reserves to satisfy the liabilities and obligations described above, and at the expiration of such period as the Liquidating Member may reasonably deem advisable, distributing any remaining balance as provided in Section 11.2(c)(iii); provided, however, that, to the extent that it shall have been necessary, by reason of applicable law or regulation, to create any reserves prior to any and all distributions which would otherwise have been made under Section 11.2(c)(i) and, by reason thereof, a distribution under Section 11.2(c)(i) has not been made, then any balance remaining shall first be distributed pursuant to Section 11.2(c)(i);

 

(iii)          thereafter, the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with Section 6.6.

 

11.3        Liquidating Member.  The Liquidating Member shall not be required to post a bond and is hereby irrevocably appointed as the true and lawful attorney in the name, place and stead of each of the Members, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge and file with respect to the Company all papers which shall be necessary or desirable to effect the dissolution and termination of the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member, upon the request of the Liquidating Member or the Managing Member, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents, certificates and other instruments as the Liquidating Member or the Managing Member shall reasonably request to effectuate the proper dissolution and termination of the Company, including the winding up of the business of the Company.

 

11.4        Claims of the Members. Members and former Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.

 

ARTICLE XII
DEFAULT BY MEMBER

 

12.1        Events of Default. For the purposes of this Agreement, an “Event of Default” shall exist with respect to a Member if and so long as any of the following shall occur and be continuing:

(d)           Such Member or its Affiliates shall violate any other material term, breach any material provision or default in the performance of any of its duties or material covenant applicable to such Member as set forth in this Agreement (excluding a failure to make Additional Capital Contributions, the exclusive remedy for which is set forth in Section 4.2) and (i) such violation, breach or default causes more than a de minimis loss or damage to the Company, or any of its Members or their respective Affiliates, and (ii) such violation, breach or default is not cured (including without limitation, by the breaching Member reimbursing the Company or the affected Member for the resulting damage or loss) within a Reasonable Period.

 

(e)           The occurrence of a Bankruptcy Event of a Member;

 

(f)            Solely with respect to CH, an “event of default” shall occur and be continuing, subject to applicable notice and cure provisions, under any Management Agreement or other material agreement that the Company enters into with the CH Member Group or any of its Affiliates, and (i) such violation, breach or default causes Material Damage or Loss to the Company, or any of its Members or their respective Affiliates, and (ii) such violation, breach or default is not cured (including without limitation, by the CH Member Group reimbursing the Company or the affected Member for the resulting Material Damage or Loss) within a Reasonable Period; or

 

(g)           Solely with respect to the Managing Member, the occurrence of a For Cause Event that is not cured within any applicable cure period.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.1, a failure by any Member to make any Additional Capital Contribution to the extent required or requested hereunder shall not constitute an Event of Default by such Member.

 

12.2        Effect of Event of Default. Subject to the provisions hereof, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by BH or the CH Member Group, then the non-defaulting party (BH or the CH Member Group) shall have the right, at any time within one year from the date of such Event of Default and upon giving the defaulting party at least ten (10) days prior written notice of such election to pursue any right or remedy available to it at law or in equity against the defaulting party (which shall represent a recourse obligation of such party); provided, however, the parties hereto waive any claims to any consequential, indirect or special damages. In addition, BH shall have the remedies set forth in Section 7.2(e) if the defaulting party is any member of the CH Member Group.

13.5        Captions. All titles or captions contained in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit, extend, or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any provision in this Agreement and do not constitute substantive matter to be considered in construing the terms of this Agreement.

13.8        Extension Not a Waiver. No delay or omission in the exercise of any power, remedy or right herein provided or otherwise available to a Member or the Company shall impair or affect the right of such Member or the Company thereafter to exercise the same.

13.10      Recalculation of Interest. If any applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to deem any distribution, contribution, payment or other amount received by any Member or the Company under this Agreement as interest and so as to render any such amount in excess of the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of the Members and the Company that all amounts in excess of the highest lawful rate or amount theretofore collected be credited against any other distributions, contributions, payments or other amounts to be paid by the recipient of the excess amount or refunded to the appropriate Person, and the provisions of this Agreement immediately be deemed reformed, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the payment of the fullest amount otherwise required hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid that are judicially determined to be interest shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law,

 

60

13.13      Publicity and Press Releases. No public announcement, press release or other similar public disclosure of the terms of this Agreement, the activities of the Company, or the plans of the Company will be made unless same is Approved by BH. However, notwithstanding the preceding sentence, any Member shall have the right, without obtaining the consent of any other Member, to make disclosures in the course of normal reporting practices to its prospective members, shareholders or partners, or actual members, shareholders or partners or as may, in the reasonable judgment of such Member’s counsel, be required by applicable Law. Furthermore, it is agreed that the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.13 shall not prohibit a Member from disclosing such information to the actual or prospective accountants, attorneys, consultants, lenders and vendors of the Company to allow such parties to provide services, funds or goods to the Company. Further, it is understood and agreed that BH is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc., a corporation that is required to make public disclosures of material facts and events under U.S. federal securities Law, and that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. shall have the right to determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether any such disclosure is required by U.S. federal securities Law and to make such disclosure of information as is consistent with such determination. The Members have agreed that if a Member breaches the obligation set forth in the first sentence of this Section 13.13 (the “Non-Disclosure Obligation”), the actual damages that will be incurred by the other Member as a result of such breach would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine. Therefore, the Members agree that if a Member or any Affiliate of a Member breaches the Non-Disclosure Obligation, such Member shall pay to the other Member liquidated damages (the “Liquidated Damages”) in the amount of Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) for each such breach, such amount having been agreed upon, after negotiation, as the Members’ reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by reason of a breach of the Non-Disclosure Obligation. Any Liquidated Damages becoming payable pursuant to this Section 13.13 shall be paid within ten (10) days after the breach of the Non-Disclosure Obligation giving rise to the Liquidated Damages. If not paid within such ten (10) day period, the Liquidated Damages shall thereafter bear interest at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by applicable law. All Company distributions and other payments that otherwise would be made to the Member that is liable for Liquidated Damages shall be paid to the other Member until the Liquidated Damages

 

61



 

and all interest accrued thereon are paid in full (with all such payments being applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to the Liquidated Damages).

 

13.14      Confidentiality.

 

(a)           The terms of this Agreement, the identity of any person with whom the Company may be holding discussions with respect to any investment, acquisition, disposition or other transaction, and all other business, financial, or other information relating directly to the conduct of the business and affairs of the Company, the Company Property or the relative or absolute rights or interests of any of the Members (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) that is not already publicly available or that has not been publicly disclosed pursuant to authorization by all of the Members is confidential and proprietary information of the Company, the disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm to the Company and the Members. Provided, however, that any Member (or its Affiliates) may disclose such Confidential Information (i) required by law (it being specifically understood and agreed that anything set forth in a registration statement or any other document filed pursuant to law will be deemed required by law), or (ii) to its employees, its proposed lenders, proposed investors, management company, accountants, due diligence consultants, brokers, legal counsel and other agents and representatives who need to know such information to the extent reasonably necessary for such persons to properly analyze and evaluate the proposed transaction, property purchase, loan or investment provided that the disclosing party has informed the recipients of the confidential information and such recipients are subject to an agreement (including by way of a written policy or rule to which the recipient is subject) to keep the Confidential Information confidential and to use it solely for the purpose for which the Confidential Information was disclosed, or (iii) if necessary for it to perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder or in any property management agreement to which it is a party covering any Company Property, or to market the Company Property or any Interests as permitted by the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company, CH and the CH Persons, BH and its Affiliates may disclose Confidential Information to any of their partners, members, lenders, or other actual or prospective investor in or purchaser of the Company Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that BH is an indirect subsidiary of Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc., a corporation that is required to make public disclosures of material facts and events under U.S. federal securities Law, and that in respect of item (b) in the preceding sentence, Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT II, Inc. shall determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, whether any such disclosure is required by applicable Law or regulations. Nothing contained in the foregoing provisions shall be construed to prohibit the recordation in the appropriate real estate records of any document that, when executed, is necessary to effectuate the intent of this Agreement or will evidence or convey an interest in real property or debt secured by real property and that is customarily recorded.

 

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 13.14(a), each Member agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than a Person (including without limitation an attorney or advisor) who does not agree to maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, a Member shall have no liability with respect to the obligation to maintain all Confidential Information in

 

62



 

strict confidence if (i) ordered to deliver the Confidential Information by a court or similar tribunal or governmental entity with the power to enforce its order with a contempt decree or otherwise; (ii) any proceeding, dispute or litigation between the parties hereto occurs; (iii) the Confidential Information is already known by others not bound by a duty of confidentiality herein; or (iv) the Confidential Information is or becomes publicly available through no fault of the Member or its representatives

 

(d)           The covenants contained in this Section 13.14 will survive the Transfer of the Interest of any Member and the termination of the Company.

 

13.15      Venue. Each of the Members consents to the jurisdiction of any court in Wilmington, Delaware, Memphis, Tennessee, Nashville, Tennessee, or Dallas, Texas for any action arising out of matters related to this Agreement. Each of the Members waives the right to commence an action in connection with this Agreement in any court outside of Wilmington, Delaware, Memphis, Tennessee, Nashville, Tennessee, or Dallas, Texas.

 

13.16      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE MEMBERS HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF MATTERS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.

 

13.17      Cooperation. In connection with the sale of the Company Property or any portion thereof, each Member agrees to reasonably cooperate with each other Member (the “Exchanging Member”), which seeks to structure the disposition of its Interest in a manner that will afford the Exchanging Member an opportunity to take advantage of provisions of the Code governing tax free exchanges or reorganizations; provided that such structuring does not have an adverse effect on any such sale (including without limitation, with respect to timing), and provided that the Exchanging Member shall bear all costs and expenses associated with such structuring, the other Members shall not be required to take title to any property or interest or assume or be subject to any obligations, and the Exchanging Member shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Member(s) and the Company harmless from and against any and all liabilities that they may incur by reason of their participation or cooperation in such exchange or reorganization transaction, and such structuring shall not delay any such transaction, and shall be subject to any reasonable restrictions proposed by the Members that are not Exchanging Members.

 

13.18      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

(a)           Each Member represents, warrants and covenants to the other Member that it has taken, and shall continue to take during the term of this Agreement, such measures as are required by law to assure that the funds invested in the Company and/or used to make payments in connection therewith are derived (i) from transactions that do not violate U.S. law nor, to the extent such funds originate outside the United States, do not violate the Laws of the jurisdiction in which they originated; and (ii) from permissible sources under U.S. law or to the extent such funds originate outside the United States, under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which they originated.

ARTICLE XV
BUY-SELL PROCEDURE

 

15.1        General Provisions.  Either BH or CH (the “Offeror”) may, upon the occurrence of a Deadlock Event, or if earlier, at any time following an Event of Default or a For Cause Event with respect to BH or the CH Member Group, in which event the non-breaching party (BH or CH) may be the Offeror, make an offer as described below (the “Buy-Sell Offer”) to the other (the “Offeree”), as set forth below.

 

(a)           The Buy-Sell Offer must (i) be in writing and be signed by the Offeror, (ii) specify the Offeror’s good faith estimate of the fair market value of the Company Property (the “Buy-Sell Offer Price”) at which the Offeror would purchase all of the assets of the Company, as if such assets were free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (that can be discharged or removed with the payment of money), (iii) disclose all liabilities and potential liabilities of the Company known to the Offeror and a good faith estimate of the monetary amount of such liabilities, and (iv) disclose the terms and details of any financing, refinancing, proposed sale, or other monetization event that the Offeror has initiated, negotiated or discussed during the prior one hundred eighty (180) calendar days with a third party for all or any portion of the Company Property.

 

(b)           A copy of the Buy-Sell Offer must be delivered to the Offeree and to the Company Accountant who shall, within ten (10) Business Days of the Buy-Sell Offer, determine and notify the Members of the amount the Offeree would receive (the “Offeree Value”) and the amount the Offeror would receive (the “Offeror Value”) on account of its or their respective Interest(s) and any Priority Capital Contributions if all Company Property were sold for the aggregate Buy-Sell Offer Price, all liabilities of the Company were paid in full, and the remaining proceeds were distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 6.4.

 

65



 

(c)           The Offeree will have the right, exercisable by delivery of notice in writing (the “Election”) to the Offeror within forty five (45) calendar days after its receipt of the Buy-Sell Offer, to elect to either:

 

(i)            sell to the Offeror all of the Offeree’s rights, title and interests in and to its or their Interest(s) in the Company (and in any Priority Capital Contributions) for a cash purchase price equal to the Offeree Value; or

 

(ii)           purchase all of the Offeror’s rights, title and interests in and to its or their Interest(s) in the Company (and in any Priority Capital Contributions) for a cash purchase price equal to the Offeror Value.

 

Failure of the Offeree to timely give the Offeror notice of the Offeree’s Election will be deemed, upon the expiration of such forty five (45) day period, to be an Election to sell under Section 15.1(c)(i). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 15.1, absent an agreement in writing among the parties, once a Buy/Sell Offer has been made in accordance with the terms hereto, the Buy/Sell process may not subsequently be stopped by the Offeree claiming that the Deadlock Event has been resolved or an Event of Default has been cured after the initiation of such process.

 

(d)           Contemporaneously with the Offeree’s Election or deemed Election, the purchasing party under this Section 15.1 shall deposit in escrow with a national title company or bank or other financial institution selected by the selling party as escrowee an earnest money deposit in cash in an amount equal to 5% multiplied by the purchase price to be paid in connection with such purchase, and, if for any reason such purchasing party fails to close such purchase as provided in this Section 15.1, then the selling party may retain such deposit as liquidated damages for its own account or elect to purchase all of the rights, title and interests of the purchasing party in and to its or their Interest(s) (and in any Priority Capital Contributions) for a cash purchase price equal to 95% of the Offeree Value or Offeror Value, as applicable and apply such deposit toward the purchase price. All closings of any purchase and sale under this Section 15.1 will be held at the principal office of the Company and shall take place no later than that date which is 90 calendar days after the later of the Offeree’s Election or deemed Election.

 

(e)           Each of BH and CH will be entitled to enforce its rights under this Section 15.1 by specific performance. If the purchasing party defaults under this Section 15.1, it will have no right to make any future Buy-Sell Offer hereunder.

 

(f)            Any party may freely assign its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 15.1 by delivering notice of such assignment to BH or CH (as applicable), provided that the assigning party will remain liable for any and all obligations of its assignee, as if such party had not assigned its rights pursuant to this Section 15.1.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Buy-Sell Offer may be made until all periods for making elections and performing obligations under any previous Buy-Sell Offer pursuant to this Section 15.1 have terminated.

 

15.2        Termination of Other Agreements. If a purchase and sale of Interests under this Article XV is completed, all agreements between the Company and a selling Member or its

 

66



 

Affiliates related to the Company Property (including the Management Agreements related to BH or CH, as applicable) will (at the election of the purchasing party) be terminated on the date such Interest is purchased without payment of any penalty or termination fee. In addition, at the closing of such purchase made in accordance with Section 15.1, the purchaser shall (i) obtain a release of the selling Member and its Affiliates (including the Key Principals) from all liability, direct or contingent, by all holders of all Company debts, obligations or claims for which the selling Member or its Affiliates may be personally liable (including any guaranties of the non-recourse carve-outs and the indemnification of environmental hazards not in existence as of the date of closing) occurring or relating to the period on and after the date of the approval by the Lender under the Loan of the same and provided that such release shall not be required to extend to any liability relating to environmental hazards under the Loan Documents arising out of conditions existing as of the closing date for the purchase of such Interests unless such liabilities were incurred due to solely BH’s actions or inactions (directly or indirectly) that allowed for or resulted in such liabilities; provided, however, that if BH is the purchasing party and the Buy-Sell Offer had been made as a result of an Event of Default or a For Cause Event by the Managing Member (in either case following the expiration of any applicable cure periods) then BH shall not be obligated to obtain a release of the Key Principal if BH would not be obligated to obtain a Carve-out Release under the circumstances described in Section 4.5(c), or (ii) if purchaser is unable, after requesting same, to deliver such a release, then deliver to the selling Member and any other Person that is potentially subject to personal liability under the Loan Documents, including the Key Principals, an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the selling Member and such other Persons from a creditworthy Affiliate to assume the debts, obligations or claims of the selling Member and its Affiliates with respect to, and to defend, indemnify and save the selling Member, its Affiliates and the Key Principals harmless from, any liability to the holders of such Company debts, obligations or claims arising on or after the date of the purchase; provided, however, that such assumption and indemnification shall not extend to those claims arising from the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or negligence of the selling Member or any of its Affiliates or to environmental hazards caused by or attributable to acts or omissions the selling Member or any of its Affiliates, or if BH would not be obligated to deliver a Carve-out Indemnity under the circumstances described in Section 4.5(c). Unless the indemnity from a credit worthy party has been Approved by the selling Member and the Key Principals in their reasonable discretion by the closing, then the purchaser must obtain the release provided for in clause (i) above; provided that if BH or a BH Affiliate is the purchaser and is obligated to obtain a release or provide an indemnity under this section, BH Opp REIT II shall be deemed to be a credit worthy entity provided that it has a minimum net worth of $15,000,000 as of the date such indemnity is to be provided and to the extent the release excludes any items that would otherwise be subject of the Indemnification Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, amended so as to relate only to those items for which a release has not been obtained, shall be deemed to be a satisfactory form.

 

15.3        Power of Attorney. In the event that the Offeror or Offeree shall have failed or refused, within five calendar days after receipt of a notice from the other requesting such party to execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents, or cause the same to be done, as shall be required to effectuate the provisions of Section 15.1 hereof, then the non-defaulting party may execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents for, on behalf of and in the stead of the defaulting party or on behalf of and in the name of the Company, as applicable, and such execution, acknowledgment and delivery by the non-defaulting party shall be for all purposes

 

67



 

effective against and binding upon the defaulting party or the Company, as applicable, as though such execution, acknowledgment and delivery had been by the defaulting party or the Company, as applicable. Each of the Members does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint the other Members as the true and lawful attorney in fact of such appointing Member, in the name, place and stead of such appointing Member, as the case may be, to execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents under the circumstances contemplated by this Section 15.3. It is expressly understood, intended and agreed by each Member, that the grant of the power of attorney to the other Members pursuant to this Section 15.3 is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall survive the death, dissolution, termination or legal incompetency of such appointing Member, as the case may be, or the assignment of the interest of such appointing Member in the Company, or the dissolution of the Company.

 

ARTICLE XVI
RIGHT OF BH TO TRIGGER SALE OF THE PROPERTY; ROFO

 

16.1        ROFO on the Sale of the Property.

 

(a)           If on or after the second anniversary of this Agreement and subject to the terms of any applicable Loan Documents, BH desires to sell the Property to any third party, BH shall first deliver to CH written notice of its intention to offer to sell the Property setting forth the proposed cash purchase price which BH is willing to accept and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed sale (“ROFO Notice”). BH need not have located a prospective purchaser or have in its possession an actual offer to purchase in order to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 16.1(a). The ROFO Notice shall include a statement by BH setting forth the financing and encumbrances, if any, to which the Property will remain subject to upon conveyance (the “Permitted Exceptions”) and shall be at a price stated in U.S. dollars only.  If the Acquisition Loan is to be assumed by a prospective purchaser, then BH shall cause such purchaser to replace the existing Key Principals simultaneously with closing and to cause the existing Key Principals to be fully released from liability, except (i) for those liabilities or obligations contained in any guaranty or indemnification agreement executed by the Key Principals which are owing or existing as of the date of the transfer, (ii) with respect to any environmental liability that relates to the period prior to the date of the closing (to the extent such release cannot otherwise be obtained), regardless of when such environmental matter is discovered, unless caused directly or indirectly by the actions or inactions of BH and (iii) for any liability relating to a breach by the existing Key Principals under the assumption and release agreement executed in connection with the loan assumption, including a breach of any representations and warranties of the Key Principals made therein.

 

(b)           At any time within forty-five (45) calendar days after the date CH receives the ROFO Notice (the “ROFO Response Period”), CH shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of notice in writing (the “ROFO Election”) to BH to either:

 

(i)            approve the terms of the proposed sale of the Property and authorize BH to cause the Company to sell or dispose of the Property on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice; or

 

68


 

(ii)           purchase, or caused to be purchased, the Property for a purchase price equal to the cash purchase price stated in the ROFO Notice, less the sum of any debt or other obligations to be assumed by the purchaser and on the other terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Notice and subject to no other terms and conditions.

 

(c)           Any election pursuant to subparagraph (ii) of Section 16.1(b) above shall be made by (i) delivering to BH the ROFO Election, which shall affirmatively state that CH is exercising such option, and (ii) depositing in escrow with a national title company or a bank or other financial institution selected by BH (the “ROFO Escrow Agent”), as escrowee, a non-refundable earnest money deposit in cash equal to five percent (5%) of the purchase price (the “ROFO Escrow Deposit”) (as set forth in the ROFO Notice) within five (5) calendar days of such election. BH and the CH shall close the purchase of the Property within 45 calendar days of the date of CH’s ROFO Election to purchase pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above and the Company shall convey the entire fee simple title to the Property by special warranty deed to CH or its designee, against receipt of payment of the cash portion of the purchase price and assumption of any debt as aforesaid, subject to no title exceptions or other encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions (and such other title exceptions as do not materially affect the operations of the Property).

 

(d)           If during the ROFO Response Period, CH does not (i) authorize BH to attempt to sell the Property as provided in Section 16.1(b)(i) above, or (ii) timely elect to purchase the Property by following the procedures in Section 16.1(b)(ii) above, then CH shall be deemed to have authorized and approved the sale of the Property pursuant to Section 16.1(b)(i), for a purchase price not less than ninety-five (95%) of the purchase price set forth in the ROFO Notice and otherwise pursuant to such other terms, conditions and provisions as are determined appropriate in the reasonable discretion of BH. If CH authorizes or is deemed to have authorized the sale of the Property pursuant to the terms described above, and the Company thereafter receives a bona fide offer for the purchase of the Property from any third party for a purchase price payable at closing which is at least equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price set forth in the ROFO Notice, BH may consummate the sale of the Property on such terms set forth in the ROFO Notice, without the requirement of any consent or Approval of any other Member; provided, however, such sale must be consummated within 360 calendar days after the date on which CH authorized or was deemed to have authorized such sale. The failure of the Company to close such sale within the 360-day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence requires BH to again deliver to CH an additional ROFO Notice and to again follow the procedures set forth in this Section 16.1.

 

(e)           All closings of any purchase and sale under this Section 16.1 will be held at the principal office of BH and all transfer, stamp and recording taxes imposed on the transfer, and all prepayment fees, exit fees or other fees or penalties payable to any lender in connection with any prepayment of any financing incident to any purchase and sale under this Section 16.1 and all other closing costs shall be allocated as set forth in the ROFO Notice (and in the absence of such specific allocation, in accordance with local custom), and each of the Company and CH shall each pay its own attorney’s fees. Upon the closing of the purchase and sale under this Section 16.1, the purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Company an agreement in mutually acceptable form providing in effect that the purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the

 

69



 

Company from and after the closing date for all costs, expenses, liabilities and obligations of and regarding the Property arising after the closing date.

 

(f)            If CH shall default in its obligations to purchase the Property pursuant to the terms of this Section 16.1, the following shall be the sole and exclusive remedies for such default:

 

(i)            CH will immediately and without any further action cease to have any right to make a Buy-Sell Offer or otherwise trigger or initiate the provisions of Article XV;

 

(ii)           the ROFO Escrow Agent shall immediately deliver to BH the ROFO Escrow Deposit as liquidated damages;

 

(iii)          thereafter, BH may cause the Company to sell at any time the Property to any Person, without the prior written consent of CH and without having to comply with the provisions of this Section 16.1.

 

If BH shall default in its obligations to cause the Company to sell the Property pursuant to the terms of this Section 16.1, then CH shall have the right to pursue specific performance of such sale.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the provisions of Article XV of this Agreement have been initiated by a Member or CH, then BH may not initiate the provisions of this Section 16.1 until the procedures set forth in Article XV have been completed or terminated pursuant to the provisions thereof. No ROFO Notice may be delivered until all periods for making elections and performing obligations under any previous ROFO Notice pursuant to this Section 16.1 have terminated.

 

(h)           Subject to compliance with any applicable terms of the Loan Documents, CH may freely assign its rights and obligations pursuant to this Section 16.1 to an Affiliate by delivery of notice of such assignment to BH and the Company, provided that CH will remain liable for any and all obligations of its assignee, as if CH had not assigned its rights pursuant to this Section 16.1(h).

 

16.2        Termination of Other Agreements.  If the Property is sold under this Article XVI to BH or an Affiliate of BH or a third party, all other agreements between the Company and CH, the CH member Group or their Affiliates applicable to the Property will be terminated on the date the Property is purchased (without payment of any termination fee or penalty). If the Property is sold under this Article XVI to CH or an Affiliate of CH or the CH Member Group, all other agreements between BH and its Affiliates applicable to the Property will be terminated on the date the Property is purchased (without payment of any termination fee or penalty).

 

16.3        Power of Attorney.  If any Member shall have failed or refused, within five (5) calendar days after receipt of a notice from the other Member requesting such Member to execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents, or cause the same to be done, as shall be required to effectuate the provisions of Section 16.1, as applicable, then the other Member may execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents for, on behalf of and in the stead of the other

 

70



 

Member or on behalf of and in the name of the Company, as applicable, and such execution, acknowledgment and delivery by that Member shall be for all purposes effective against and binding upon the other Member and the Company, as applicable, as though such execution, acknowledgment and delivery had been by the refusing Member or the Company as applicable. Each Member does hereby irrevocably constitute and appoint each other Member as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of such appointing Member and the successors and assigns thereof, in the name, place and stead of such appointing Member or the successors or assigns thereof, as the case may be, to execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents under the circumstances contemplated by Section 16.1. It is expressly understood, intended and agreed by each Member, for such Member and its successors and assigns, that the grant of the power of attorney to any other Member pursuant to this Section 16.3 is coupled with an interest, is irrevocable and shall survive the death, dissolution, termination or legal incompetency, as applicable, of such appointing Member, or the assignment of the Interest of such appointing Member, or the dissolution of the Company.
