CAPITAL ACCOUNTS 5.01 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS/MEMBER LOANS. (A) In consideration for its Membership Interest, each of the Members is making (or has previously made) certain initial Capital Contributions as set forth on EXHIBIT 1 attached hereto (the "INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS"). (B) In addition to the Initial Capital set forth above, the Members acknowledge that a variety of circumstances may arise under which the Company may require funds to, among other things, pay unanticipated financing expenses and/or operating deficits of the Company, or pay other expenses of the Company, or establish Company reserves, where no financing provides for such funding, including operating deficits resulting from deficiencies between the Company's operating income and operating expenses (including debt service) (referenced to collectively as "CASH DEFICITS"). (C) If the Company requires funding from its Members for payment of Cash Deficits, as determined by the Manager, and if sufficient reserves therefor and Cash Available for Distribution are not available (the amount of any such deficiency being hereinafter referred as "CASH SHORTFALLS"), the Members shall contribute capital in the amount of each of the Cash Shortfalls in accordance with their respective Percentages of Membership Interest (a "MEMBER CAPITAL CONTRIBUTION") unless the Manager agrees to cause the Company to borrow additional funds for the purpose of funding any Cash Shortfall in lieu of a Member Capital Contribution; provided, however, that in the event a Member fails to make its Member Capital Contribution, such Member shall be liable only as provided in Section 5.01(E) below and otherwise such contribution obligations shall be non-recourse to the Members. The Manager shall notify the Members of the Member Capital Contribution, giving each Member at least fifteen (15) days prior notice of the due date of same (the "DUE DATE"). 11 (D) (i) If the Manager does not agree to cause the Company to borrow funds for the purpose of funding such Cash Deficits and/or Cash Shortfalls, and if any Member fails to make a Member Capital Contribution on the Due Date (a "NONCONTRIBUTING MEMBER"), any other Member who has made its Member Capital Contribution (a "CONTRIBUTING MEMBER") may, without Consent of the other Members, and subject to the conditions of this Section 5.01, make a loan to the Noncontributing Member (the proceeds of which shall be paid to the Company as a contribution by the Noncontributing Member) for all or part of the amount of the Member Capital Contribution not made by the Noncontributing Member (a "MEMBER LOAN"). To the extent more than one Member wishes to loan funds in the amount not contributed by a Noncontributing Member in accordance with this Section, each Contributing Member may lend funds in the proportion which its Percentage of Membership Interest bears to the aggregate Percentage of Membership Interests of all such Contributing Members, or as otherwise agreed by such Contributing Members. Such Member Loan (or Member Loans) shall be secured by the Noncontributing Member's interest in the Company (or pro-rata portion thereof in the event there is more than one Contributing Member). The Company, in such circumstances, shall use the first distributions otherwise payable or distributable to such Noncontributing Member (or such Defaulting Member if such Member Loan is made pursuant to Section 5.01(B) above) pursuant to Section 6 hereof to repay any such Member Loan, which distributions shall be used first to pay any and all accrued and unpaid interest due under such Member Loan on a pro rata basis based on the amount of interest owing on all Member Loans to such Noncontributing Member until all accrued and unpaid interest is paid with respect to all Member Loans made to such Noncontributing Member, then to repay the principal balances outstanding thereunder pro rata as to all Member Loans made to such Member in accordance with the amount of principal due each Member making such Member Loans; provided, however, that Member Loans made to a Member pursuant to Section 5.01(B) shall be repaid after the repayment of all Member Loans made to such Member under this subparagraph (i). Such Member Loan shall be non-recourse (except with respect to such Noncontributing Member's Membership Interest) and shall bear interest at a rate equal to twenty percent (20%) per annum (the "MEMBER LOAN RATE"). (ii) In the event no Contributing Members elect to make a Member Loan to the Noncontributing Member as provided above, the Manager, at its sole election, shall have the right to (A) rescind the request for Member Capital Contributions and return to each Contributing Member its respective Member Capital Contribution, or (B) reduce the requested Member Capital Contribution to the amount equal to the sum of the Member Capital Contributions received by the Company in which event the Contributing Members shall be deemed to have made Member Loans to such Noncontributing Members as provided above to the extent that each Contributing Member's payment exceeds the amount which would be 12 required of such Contributing Member based on the reduced Member Capital Contribution; provided, however, in the event the Contributing Members do not make a Member Loan which aggregate the total of the Non-Contributing Member's Capital Contribution, then each Contributing Member shall have the right to cause the Company to return such Contributing Members' Capital Contribution. (iii) Any Contributing Member making a Member Loan pursuant to this Section shall have the right, which may be exercised any time after providing thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to the Manager and to the Non-Contributing Member to which the Member Loan has been made (and provided such Member Loan has not been repaid in full on or prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period), to convert the then outstanding principal balance of its Member Loan to a Member Capital Contribution as provided below. In such event, the Member making such conversion under this paragraph shall be entitled to any interest that accrued on its Member Loan prior to the date of such conversion which shall be repaid as set forth above. Upon such conversion, the Percentage of Membership Interest of the Noncontributing Member shall immediately be reduced in an amount equal to the percentage obtained by dividing (A) the principal amount of the Member Loan(s) being converted by (B) the aggregate amount of all Capital Contributions required to have been made as of the date of such calculation by all of the Members, including the subject Member Capital Contributions. (iv) As an example, assume (A) that Member X's Percentage of Membership Interest is 10% and that Member X has made an Initial Capital Contribution of $10,000, (B) that Member Y's Percentage of Membership Interest is 90%, and that Member Y has made an Initial Capital Contribution of $90,000, (C) that a (first ever) call is made for additional capital in the amount of $20,000, (D) that Member X is obligated to advance 10% of such additional capital (i.e., $2,000), (E) that Member X does not make any portion of its required additional capital contribution, and (F) that Member Y makes the Member Capital Contribution of Member X. The dilution of the Noncontributing Member's (Member X's) Percentage of Membership Interest, expressed as a percentage, would equal $2,000/$120,000, or 1.667%. Accordingly, Member X's Percentage of Membership Interest would be reduced from 10.00% to 8.333%. (v) Any reduction in the Percentage of Membership Interest of the Noncontributing Member under this Section shall be reflected in an immediate, simultaneous increase in the Percentage of Membership Interest of the Contributing Members making such conversion pro rata based on the dollar amount of such Member Loans converted. Any adjustments of Percentage of Membership Interest pursuant to this Section shall be automatic and without the necessity of any further action by any Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member authorizes the Manager, acting on its behalf, to execute such documents and take such additional actions as may be necessary to effectuate or evidence such 13 adjustments, including the attachment to this Agreement of a revised EXHIBIT 1 which reflects such revised Percentage of Membership Interests. (E) Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no Member shall be required, under any circumstance, to make a Member Loan or contribute to the capital of the Company any amount beyond that sum which the Member has already contributed to the Company as described in Section 5.01(A) of this Agreement and the amount to be contributed in Section 5.01(B) of this Agreement. No Member shall be required or permitted to make any loans to the Company (other than such loans as receive the Consent of the Manager and Member Loans described in Section 5.01). (F) No interest shall accrue or be payable to any Member by reason of any Capital Contribution or Capital Account. (G) Except as provided in Section 5.01(D), no Member Loans or Capital Contributions made by any Member to the Company shall increase or decrease any Member's Membership Interest. 5.02 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to be for the benefit of any creditor, tenant or occupant of the Project or other Person (other than a Member in its capacity as a Member) to whom any debts, liabilities or obligations are owed by (or who otherwise has any claim against) the Company or any of the Members; and no such creditor, tenant or occupant of the Project or other Person shall obtain any right under any such foregoing provision against the Company or any of the Members by reason of any debt, liability or obligation (or otherwise). 5.03 RETURN OF CAPITAL ACCOUNT. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, (i) no Member shall have any right to withdraw its Capital Contributions or Capital Account, or to demand and receive property other than cash from the Company in return for its Capital Contributions or Capital Account, (ii) no Member shall have any priority over any other Members as to the return of its Capital Contributions or Capital Account, and (iii) any return of Capital Contributions or Capital Accounts to the Members shall be solely from the Company Property, and no Member shall be personally liable for any such return. 5.04 LIMITED LIABILITY. No Member shall be liable for losses, costs, expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Company in excess of its Capital Contribution required under this Agreement. 6.

The profits of the Company shall be shared and the losses of the Company shall be borne by the Members as provided in EXHIBIT 2 hereto. 6.02 DISTRIBUTIONS.

In the event of a transfer of all or any part of a Membership Interest (in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) during a Fiscal Year, the share of income, profits, gains, losses, deductions and credits attributable to such Membership Interest shall be allocated among the holders of the transferred Membership Interest based on the actual attributions to such Membership Interest for any whole months that each such holder was recognized as the owner of the Membership Interest. For any partial month, the share of income, profits, gains, losses, deductions and credits attributable to such Interest shall be allocated among the holders of the transferred Membership Interest, in proportion to the number of days that each such holder was recognized as the owner of the Membership Interest during such partial month without regard to the results of Company operations during the period of such partial month in which each such holder was recognized as the owner of such Membership Interest, and without regard to the date, amount or recipient of any distributions which may have been made with respect to such Membership Interest during such partial month. 6.04 ALLOCATION OF DISTRIBUTIONS. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, distributions shall be made to the Members of record on the date established by the Members for the distribution, without regard to the length of time such Persons have been Members. 6.05 TAXES WITHHELD. For purposes of this Agreement, any amount of taxes required by the Code or by any State or other taxing authority to be withheld by the Company with respect to any amount distributable by the Company to any Member shall, upon payment to the IRS or by any such State or other taxing authority, be deemed to be a distribution of such payment to such Member and shall reduce the amount otherwise distributable to such Member pursuant to this Agreement. 7.

ALLOCATION OF PROFIT AND LOSS. The income, profits, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be determined in accordance with the capital accounting rules and principles established by Code Sections 702 and 704 and the regulations thereunder and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and shall be allocated each Fiscal Year as follows and in the following order of priority: (A) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 2(C), Profits for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members as follows: (1) First, to the Members with negative Capital Accounts, in proportion to such negative Capital Accounts, until the negative Capital Account of each Member is reduced to zero (0), but no Profit shall be allocated to any Member pursuant to this Section 2(A)(1) once its negative Capital Account has been brought to zero (0); and (2) Next, to the Members, in a manner so as to cause the positive Capital Account balance of each Member to equal the amount that would be payable to such Member if an amount equal to the sum of (I) the positive Capital Account balances of all Members (determined prior to any allocation of Profits for such Fiscal Year but after any nonliquidating distributions to the Members for such Fiscal Year have been reflected), increased by (II) the Profits to be allocated among 37 the Members in such Fiscal Year, were distributed among the Members as provided in Section 6.02. (B) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 2(C) hereof, Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Members as follows in the following order of priority: (1) To the Members with positive Capital Accounts, in proportion to such positive Capital Accounts; until the positive Capital Account of each Member is brought to zero (0), but no loss shall be allocated to any Member pursuant to this Section 2(B)(1) once its positive Capital Account has been brought to zero (0) (provided, that, if there are insufficient Losses to reduce all of the positive Capital Accounts of the Members to zero, Losses shall be allocated among the Members in a manner so as to cause the positive Capital Account balance of each Member to equal the amount that would be payable to such member if an amount equal to the sum of (I) the positive Capital Account balances of all Members (determined prior to any allocation of Losses for such Fiscal Year but after any nonliquidating distributions to the Members for such Fiscal Year have been reflected), decreased by (II) the Losses to be allocated among the Members in such Fiscal Year, were distributed among the Members as provided in Section 6.02; and (2) Thereafter, to the Members in proportion to their Percentages of Membership Interests. (C) SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. The following special allocations shall be made in the following order: (1) MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK. Notwithstanding any other provision of this EXHIBIT 2, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, then, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), each Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain relating to the Company Property for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(2). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j). This Section 2(C)(1) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (2) MEMBER MINIMUM GAIN CHARGEBACK. Notwithstanding any other provision of this EXHIBIT 2 except Section 2(C)(1), if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, then, to the extent required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain 38 relating to the Company Property for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j). This Section 2(C)(2) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. (3) QUALIFIED INCOME OFFSET. In the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of Company income, including gross income, and gain for such year) relating to the Company Property shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Member as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 2(C)(3) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have a Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 2 of this Exhibit 1 have been tentatively made as if this Section 2(C)(3) were not in this Exhibit. (4) GROSS INCOME ALLOCATION. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Fiscal Year, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain (consisting of a pro rata portion of each item of income, including gross income, and gain for such year) relating to the Company Property, in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 2(C)(4) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 2 of this Exhibit 1 have been tentatively made as if Section 2(C)(3) and this Section 2(C)(4) were not in this EXHIBIT 2.

(1) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company by the Members shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any 40 variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with the definition herein). (2) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company Property is adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. (3) Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations to the Members shall be made by the Members in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 3 are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 4. SPECIAL BASIS ADJUSTMENTS In the event of a Transfer of all or any part of the Member Interest of any Member for an amount in excess of the adjusted basis for such Membership Interest for federal income tax purposes, the Company shall elect, pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of the Company Property. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 754 shall affect only the successor in interest to the transferring Member. Each successor in interest to the transferring Member will furnish the Company with all information necessary to give effect to such election and shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Company associated with any election applicable as to such Member. Unless otherwise specifically provided, neither adjustments to basis, nor adjustments to the taxable income of a Member as a result of this Section 4, shall affect its positive Capital Account. 41 EXHIBIT 3 TO OPERATING AGREEMENT FOR POINTER RIDGE OFFICE INVESTMENT, LLC SCHEDULE OF FEES PAYABLE TO MANAGER A. REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES. The following expenses ("REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES"), shall be reimbursed by the Company to the Manager to the extent actually incurred by the Manager or its designated Affiliate: Telephone and telecopy expenses; postage; photocopy expenses; courier expenses and similar expenses. The legal fees and costs associated with the drafting and formation of the Company and its constituent entities shall be a Reimbursable Expense. B. DEVELOPMENT, CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND TENANT IMPROVEMENT FEES. During the term of the Agreement, in consideration for the Manager's management and oversight of land development of the Property and construction of the Project (including but not limited to the cost of construction of the Improvements and any tenant improvements) the Company shall pay to the Manager a fee equal to five percent (5%) of the total cost of such development and construction. The fee payable to the Manager shall be payable in monthly installments over the time period during which construction and development is to be performed. C. LEASING FEES AND RELATED REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES. (a) During the term of the Company, in consideration for the Manager's or its designated Affiliate's supervision and management of the Company's leasing activities, the Company shall pay to the Manager or its designated Affiliate the leasing fees hereinafter described ("LEASING FEES") with respect to each (I) lease for space in the Project ("LEASE"), (II) extension or renewal of the term of a Lease, or (III) expansion of the premises leased under a Lease (collectively, a "LEASING EVENT"), entered into by the Company during the term of the Company. The Company shall pay to the Manager or its designated Affiliate any Leasing Fees payable hereunder within ten (10) days following the end of the month during which full execution of the document giving effect to the Leasing Event occurred. 42 (b) With respect to any Leasing Event, the Company shall pay the following Leasing Fees to the Manager or its designated Affiliate: (i) If the Leasing Event occurred with the Manager or an Affiliate thereof acting as the broker without the assistance of a listing broker or a procuring broker (other than the Manager or an Affiliate thereof), then the Manager (or such Affiliate) shall be entitled to a commission of 2.00% of Base Rent in connection with such Leasing Event. (ii) If the Leasing Event occurred with the Manager or an Affiliate thereof acting as the listing broker, but involved the assistance of a procuring broker (other than the Manager or an Affiliate thereof), then the Manager (or such Affiliate) shall be entitled to a commission of 1.00% of Base Rent in connection with such Leasing Event. (iii) If the Leasing Event occurred with the assistance of a listing broker but without the assistance of a procuring broker (other than the Manager or an Affiliate thereof), then the Manager (or such Affiliate) shall be entitled to a commission of 1.00% of Base Rent in connection with such Leasing Event. (iv) If the Leasing Event occurred with the assistance of a listing broker and with the assistance of a procuring broker, then the Manager (or such Affiliate) shall be entitled to a commission of 0.50% of Base Rent in connection with such Leasing Event. (v) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any lease with a Member or Affilate shall not require payment of any commission by the Company. "BASE RENT" shall mean the fixed rent stated in a tenant lease or license agreement (regardless of how such rent is denominated), including the amount of any escalator clause the amount of which is known at the time the tenant lease or license agreement is executed, with reduction for any rental waiver or abatement (and excluding amounts in respect of loans made by the Company to tenants that are memorialized by a promissory note) and with reduction in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the tenant improvement costs included in the fixed rent stated in the applicable tenant lease over budgeted base building tenant improvement standard, for tenant's use and occupancy of the premises demised thereunder during the first ten (10) years of the term thereof; provided, however, that if any tenant is required under its lease to pay directly for any portion of any element of the operating expenses or real estate taxes related to the property (i.e., if such lease is fully or partially "net" of certain costs and expenses), then the base rent for each year during the term of such lease shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (I) the "expense stop" or base year that would be provided for in a "full service lease" (defined below) in effect for the calendar year in 43 which the lease is executed over (ii) the expense stop or base year provided for in the lease. As used herein, the term "expense stop" or the value of the "base year" means the annual amount of real estate taxes and operating expenses allocable to leased space that are to be absorbed by the landlord, rather than being passed through to the tenant (which annual amount may be expressed in terms of a fixed amount per square foot or in terms of expenses incurred in a base year) and the term "full service lease" means a lease under which the landlord agrees to pay for all real estate taxes, utilities, and other operating expenses allocable to the leased space (whether or not all or a portion of such expenses are passed through to the tenant in the form of additional rent). For example, assume that tenant T enters into a five-year lease commencing in 2004 for 1,000 square feet, which lease requires T to pay directly for all electricity provided to T's space and further provides that the other operating expenses and real estate taxes allocable to the leased space will be passed through to T as additional rent to the extent that such allocable amount for any year exceeds an expense stop or base year value of $4.00 per square foot. Assume further that, pursuant to the leasing guidelines in effect for 2004, the expense stop or base year value to be provided for in full service leases executed in that year is $5.00 per square foot. The annual base rent under T's lease would be deemed to be increased by $1,000 (1,000 square feet x ($5.00 - $4.00). The Leasing Fees so payable to the Manager or the designated Affiliate shall be determined as provided above, without regard to whether (I) any commissions then payable to any procuring broker (other than the Manager or any Affiliate thereof) are based upon a commission schedule that is structured differently, or (ii) any particular Leasing Event would provide for a third party leasing commission to any other participating broker greater or less than the corresponding Leasing Fees payable to the Manager or its designated Affiliate hereunder. (d) In addition to the Leasing Fees the Company (and not the Manager or any of its Affiliates) shall be responsible for, and if incurred by the Manager or any of its Affiliates, the Company shall reimburse the Manager or its Affiliates for the following costs and expenses (the "Leasing Reimbursable Expenses"): (i) all costs incurred in connection with the marketing or the leasing of space in the Investment, including without limitation, all marketing events and functions, Web site costs and expenses, leasing signs, brochures, floor plans, renderings and space plans, and (ii) all payments due and owing to third party listing brokers or procuring brokers. All of the Leasing Reimbursable Expenses payable to the Manager or any of its Affiliates shall be paid by the Company within ten (10) days following the end of the month in respect of which the Leasing Reimbursable Expenses were incurred or paid. 44 (D) PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEE. (a) During the term of the Company, in consideration for the Manager's or its designated Affiliate's performance of property management services as to any Investment for which management the Company has not engaged a management company other than the Manager or its designated Affiliate, the Company shall pay to the Manager or its designated Affiliate a property management fee (the "PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEE") to be calculated as provided herein. The Property Management Fee shall be calculated so as to be equal to the greater of 5.00% of Gross Revenues from the Projects operations during the respective calendar month, The Property Management Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears within ten (10) days after the last day of each calendar month (prorated for any partial calendar month). (b) "Gross Revenues" means all revenues of the Company from leasing and its operations but excluding (i) security deposits made by tenants in such Investment (except to the extent that such security deposits are applied to rent and other amounts payable by tenants of such Investments), (ii) proceeds from the sale or financing, (iii) proceeds from insurance or condemnation with respect to such Investment (except to the extent such proceeds are payments for lost rents or other amounts payable by tenants of such Investment), (iv) all federal, state and local excise, sales, use or rent taxes (other than such real property taxes and other taxes which are payable to the landlord as operating expenses by tenants under Leases), and (v) Capital Contributions made by the Partners to the Company in respect of such Investment. (E) SALE OR REFINANCING. In the event the Company refinances the initial mortgage financing on the Project after rent stablization or sells the Project, the Manager will receive a fee of one percent (1%) of the gross amount of such refinancing or sale price. Such fee shall be in addition to any other fee payable to the Manager hereunder and shall be paid to the Manager at the time of the closing of the refinancing or sale. 45 EXHIBIT 4 (DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY) 46
