c)    Entire Agreement. This document and the documents referred to herein represent the final, entire and complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications or representations, whether oral or written, express or implied. The parties acknowledge and agree that they may not and are not relying on any representation, promise, inducement, or other statement, whether oral or written and by whomever made, that is not contained expressly in this Agreement. The parties agree that in any disputes involving this Agreement parol evidence will only be admissible if the judge or arbitrator hearing the dispute first determines that the applicable provisions of this Agreement are ambiguous on their face without the introduction of any parol evidence.
d)    Modifications. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written instrument signed by an authorized officer or Person of each party. Any oral modifications or amendments are unenforceable.
e)    Enforceability. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or its application to any Person or circumstances shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected, and each term hereof shall be legal, valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless an essential purpose of this Agreement would be defeated by the loss of the illegal, unenforceable, or invalid provision and a suitable replacement provision cannot be agreed upon by the parties. In the event of such partial invalidity, the parties shall seek in good faith to agree on replacing any such legally invalid provisions with valid provisions which, in effect, will, from an economic viewpoint, most nearly and fairly approach the effect of the invalid provision and the intent of the parties in entering into this Agreement.
f)    Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to the rules regarding conflict or choice of laws of such State. In the event of any Litigation relating to, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement, such Litigation shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York in New York County and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and no others. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the above-designated courts and to the service of process by registered mail, return receipt requested, or by any other manner provided by the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Litigation arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York or of the United States of America in each case located in New York County, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The term “Litigation” shall mean any action, suit, proceeding or hearing by or before a Governmental Authority.


24


g)    Binding Effect; No Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement, nor any right hereunder, may be assigned by TPG, the Company or Madison without the written consent of the other parties. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and their permitted assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision contained herein.
h)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and is intended to be binding when all parties have delivered their signatures to the other parties. Signatures may be delivered by facsimile transmission or in PDF format via email, which facsimile and PDF signatures shall be deemed and treated as original and binding signatures for all purposes. If signed copies of the Agreement are delivered via facsimile or email, original signed copies shall also be delivered to all parties via overnight courier for next day delivery, but the Agreement shall in all cases be deemed signed and binding upon delivery of the facsimile or PDF signatures. All counterparts shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. In no event shall any draft of this Agreement that is not fully-executed and delivered by all parties create any obligation or liability, and this Agreement shall be effective and binding only when a counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each party hereto.
i)    Recitals and Headings. The recitals are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to articles, sections, subsections, clauses, exhibits and schedules shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
j)    Interpretation. All parties have been represented by counsel in the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed according to the fair meaning of its language. The rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in interpreting this Agreement. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, (i) pronouns shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provisions of this Agreement; (iii) “shall,” “will,” or “agrees” are mandatory, and “may” is permissive; (iv) “or” is not exclusive; (v) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” and words of similar import shall be construed as if followed by the words “without limitation” and (vi) “days” means calendar days unless specifically provided otherwise.
k)    Further Assurances. The parties hereby agree to execute and deliver all such documents and perform all such acts as may be necessary, appropriate or reasonably required to carry out the purposes and provisions of this Agreement.
l)    No Waiver. No breach of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement should be deemed consented to or excused, nor shall the validity of the performance of any representation, promise or undertaking herein be deemed waived, nor shall any delay or


25


deviation from the time or manner of any performance be deemed consented to unless such consent, excuse or waiver shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have consented, excused or waived. Any such consent, excuse or waiver shall not constitute a consent to, waiver of, or excuse for any other similar or dissimilar breach, delay or deviation.
m)    Time of the Essence; Business Days. Time is of the essence for the payment and performance of all obligations under this Agreement. Whenever action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time or by a particular date that ends or occurs on a non-Business Day then such period or date shall be extended until the immediately following Business Day. The term “Business Day” shall mean every day other than Saturdays, Sundays, all days observed by the federal or New York State government as legal holidays, all days on which commercial banks in New York State are required by law to be closed.
n)    Compliance With Laws. Each party shall comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, orders, consents and permits in the performance of all of its obligations under this Agreement.
o)    Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any arbitration or litigation between the parties, whether based on contract, tort or other cause of action or involving bankruptcy or similar proceedings, in any way related to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of any type, without restriction by statute, court rule or otherwise, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any action or proceeding (including arbitration proceedings, any appeals and the enforcement of any judgment or award), whether or not the dispute is litigated or prosecuted to final judgment. The “prevailing party” shall be determined based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the action or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed (whether by compromise, settlement, abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense, final decision, after any appeals, or otherwise) over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues. Any fees and costs incurred in enforcing a judgment shall be recoverable separately from any other amount included in the judgment and shall survive and not be merged in the judgment.
p)    Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party mutually waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
q)    Authority. The individuals executing this Agreement on behalf of any party individually represent and warrant that he or she has been authorized to do so and has the power to bind the party for whom they are signing.

(i)    If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to timely make any Additional Capital Contribution (or any portion thereof) required pursuant to Section 4.02(a) hereof, and another Member (the “Contributing Member”) has made its required share of such Additional Capital Contribution, then the Contributing Member may, in its sole discretion advance to the Company all or any portion of the Non-Contributing Member’s share of such required Additional Capital Contribution that such Non-Contributing Member shall have failed to contribute. Any such advance will be treated, for purposes of this Agreement, as (i) a loan by the Contributing Member to the Non-Contributing Member (a “Priority Member Loan”), which will earn interest thereon at an annual rate, compounded monthly, equal to ten percent (10%), and (ii) an Additional Capital Contribution to the Company by the Non- Contributing Member, in an amount equal to such Priority Member Loan.
(ii)    If TPG Member fails to make an Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.02(b) and if as a result of such failure, CalSTRS has notified the Company that it will exercise its remedies under Section 4.06 of the Venture Agreement, then TPG Member will immediately notify Madison Member of such event and Madison Member shall have the right in its sole discretion, but not the obligation, to make a loan to the Company (each


12


such loan, a “Company Loan”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount of the Additional Capital Contribution not made under Section 4.02(b), which Company Loan shall earn interest at an annual rate, compounded monthly, equal to fifteen percent (15%).
(iii)    To the extent that the Company does not repay a Company Loan in full, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (“Company Loan Interest”), within ninety (90) days following the date on which it was advanced by Madison Member, Madison Member shall have the right at any time thereafter for each such Company Loan to convert all or a portion of such Company Loan (the amount so converted, the “Converted Amount”), into an Additional Capital Contribution to the Company made by Madison Member as of the date of such election (a “Conversion Election”). Upon a Conversion Election, the Percentage Interest of TPG Member may be decreased as provided in Section 4.03(c). The “TPG Percentage Adjustment” with respect to such Conversion Election shall equal a percentage expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) one and one half (1.5) multiplied by (y) the Converted Amount, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions made by all of the Members immediately prior to the default which resulted in such Company Loan (including the applicable Additional Capital Contribution resulting from such Conversion Election described in this Section 4.03(a)). The Company shall make no distribution to any Member unless and until every Company Loan has been repaid in full, including all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the Company shall apply all Available Cash to such repayment of every Company Loan.
(b)    If Madison Member has elected to contribute its pro rata share of an Excess Capital Call under Section 4.02(b) by delivering an Excess Capital Contribution Response and thereafter fails to contribute any portion thereof and if TPG Member has contributed all of the Additional Capital Contributions (or portion thereof not contributed by Madison Member) in respect of all Excess Capital Calls under Section 4.02(b), then the Percentage Interest of Madison Member may be decreased as provided in Section 4.03(c). The “Madison Percentage Adjustment” with respect to such failure by Madison Member shall equal a percentage expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which is (x) one and one half (1.5) multiplied by (y) the amount of such Additional Capital Contribution not made by Madison Member and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of the Capital Contributions made by all of the Members immediately prior to the default.
(c)    If there occurred any adjustment of the Percentage Interests of any Member pursuant to Section 4.03(b) or as a result of a Conversion Election pursuant to Section 4.03(a)(iii) , and the Net Adjustment is not zero (0):
(i)    If the Net Adjustment is negative, TPG Member’s Percentage Interest shall equal its Percentage Interest without regard to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) less the absolute value of the Net Adjustment, which Percentage Interest shall not be reduced to an amount less than zero (0) and Madison Member’s Percentage Interest shall equal the sum of its Percentage Interest without regard to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) plus the amount by which TPG Member’s Percentage Interest was reduced under this Section 4.03(c)(i).


13


(ii)    If the Net Adjustment is positive, TPG Member’s Percentage Interest shall equal the sum of its Percentage Interest without regard to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) plus the Net Adjustment, which Percentage Interest shall not be reduced to an amount less than zero (0) and Madison Member’s Percentage Interest shall equal its Percentage Interest without regard to any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 4.03(c) minus the amount by which TPG Member’s Percentage Interest was increased under this Section 4.03(c)(ii).
(d)    To the extent that Madison Member makes a Priority Member Loan or a Company Loan, Madison Member shall be entitled to structure such Priority Member Loan or Company Loan in a manner it deems appropriate to ensure that it or any Upstream REIT satisfies all applicable REIT requirements (including, without limitation, all REIT income and asset requirements) of such Upstream REIT, including, without limitation, in the discretion of Madison Member: (1) by structuring the Priority Member Loan or Company Loan in a manner that complies with Revenue Procedure 2003-65, I.R.B. 2003-32, (ii) by making the Priority Member Loan or Company Loan directly to (or in) a Subsidiary or (iii) by having an Affiliate provide the Priority Member Loan or Company Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Madison Member shall not structure a Priority Member Loan or Company Loan in a manner that violates (x) the documents which evidence and secure any financing with respect to the Properties or (y) the Venture Agreement.
(e)    The remedies provided in this Section 4.03 are the exclusive remedies for any breach of Section 4.02.
V. CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI, an allocation to a Member of a share of Net Profit or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss.
6.02    Regulatory Allocations.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704 2(i)), if any, of the Company shall be allocated for each period to the Member that bears the economic risk of loss within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and (ii) “nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.704 2(b)) and “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as defined in Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)), if any, of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.
(b)    This Agreement shall be deemed to include “qualified income offset,” “minimum gain chargeback” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provisions within the meaning of the Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, items of gross income shall be allocated to the Members on a priority basis to the extent and in the manner required by such provisions.


15


(c)    To the extent that Net Loss or items of loss or deduction otherwise allocable to a Member hereunder would cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the taxable year to which such Net Loss, or items of loss or deduction, relate (after taking into account the allocation of all items of income and gain for such taxable period), such Net Loss, or items of loss or deduction, shall not be allocated to such Member and instead shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with Section 6.01 as if such Member were not a Member.
(d)    If any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.02(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article VI have been made as if Section 6.02(c) and this Section 6.02(d) were not in this Agreement.
(e)    Any allocations required to be made pursuant to Sections 6.02(a)-(d) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) (other than allocations, the effects of which are likely to be offset in the future by other Regulatory Allocations) shall be taken into account, to the extent permitted by the Regulations, in computing subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to Section 6.01 so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to each Member pursuant to Section 6.01 had such Regulatory Allocations under this Section 6.02 not occurred.
6.03    Tax Allocations.
(a)    For federal income tax purposes, except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.03, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as its corresponding item of book income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.01 and 6.02.
(b)    In accordance with Sections 704(b) and 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to any Company asset contributed (or deemed contributed) to the capital of the Company shall, solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value upon its contribution (or deemed contribution). If the Book Value of any Company asset is adjusted, subsequent allocations of taxable income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such Company asset for federal income tax purposes and the Book Value of such Company asset in the manner prescribed under Code Sections 704(b) and 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder.
(c)    If a Member acquires an Interest, redeems all or a portion of its Interest or transfers an Interest during a taxable year, the Net Profit or Net Loss (and other items referred to in Sections 6.01 and 6.02) attributable to any such Interest for such taxable year shall be allocated between the transferor and the transferee by closing the books of the Company as of the date of the


16


transfer, or by any other method permitted under Section 706 of the Code and the Regulations thereunder that is selected by the Tax Matters Member.
(d)    The provisions of this Article VI (and other related provisions in this Agreement) pertaining to the allocation of items of Company income, gain, loss, deductions, and credits shall be interpreted consistently with the Regulations, and to the extent unintentionally inconsistent with such Regulations, shall be deemed to be modified to the extent necessary to make such provisions consistent with the Regulations.
6.04    Withholding. The Company at all times shall be entitled to make payments with respect to each Member in amounts required to discharge any obligation of the Company to withhold or make payments to any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority (“Taxing Authority”) with respect to any distribution or allocation of income or gain to such Member and to withhold (or deduct) the same from distributions to such Member. Any funds withheld from a distribution by reason of this Section 6.04 shall nonetheless be deemed distributed to the Member in question for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Company makes any payment to a Taxing Authority in respect of a Member hereunder that is not withheld from actual distributions to the Member, then the Member shall reimburse the Company for the amount of such payment, on demand. The amount of a Member’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 6.04, to the extent not paid, shall bear interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded monthly, and shall be deducted from the distributions to such Member; any amounts so deducted shall constitute a repayment of such Member’s obligation hereunder. Each Member’s reimbursement obligation under this Section 6.04 shall continue after such Member transfers its interest in the Company or after a withdrawal by such Member. Each Member agrees to furnish the Company with any representations and forms as shall reasonably be requested by the Company to assist it in determining the extent of, and in fulfilling, any withholding obligations it may have. Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability with respect to taxes, interest or penalties which may be asserted by reason of the failure to deduct and withhold tax on amounts distributable or allocable to such Member. Any amount payable as indemnity hereunder by a Member will be paid promptly to the Company, and if not so paid, the Company will be entitled to retain any distributions due to such Member for all such amounts.

(b)    no amount received or accrued from the rental of any Property or any portion thereof, shall be determined in whole or in part by reference to the income or profits derived by any person from the leased property within the meaning of Code Section 856(d)(2)(A), unless (x) substantially all of the tenant’s income from the leased property consists of rents derived from subleasing substantially all of the leased property, and (y) those rents would be treated as “rents from real property” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(d)(2)) if received directly by the Company;
(c)    no Property nor any portion thereof shall be leased to any party who subleases such Property or any portion thereof, if the rent payable with respect to the lease is based on a percentage of the tenant’s receipts or sales and the rent payable with respect to the sublease is determined in whole or in part by reference to the income or profits derived by any person from the subleased property;
(d)    no Property shall be leased or subleased to a lessee or sublessee in which the Company, its Subsidiaries and/or Madison Member owns, directly or indirectly (taking into account the attribution rules referred to in Code Section 856(d)(5)), in the aggregate ten percent (10%) or more of the voting power of all classes of voting stock or ten percent (10%) or more of the total number of shares of all classes of stock of any corporate lessee or sublessee, or ten percent (10%) or more in the net profits or assets of any noncorporate lessee or sublessee;

(h)    neither the Company, any Subsidiary nor any Member shall take any action (or fail to take any action permitted under this Agreement) that would cause the Company to generate any amount of income not described in Code Section 856(c)(2) which is in excess of


19


4% of its gross income or cause any significant part of the Company’s assets to consist of assets other than “real estate assets” within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(5)(B);
(i)    the Company shall distribute to the Members during each calendar year in accordance with the provisions of Article IV an amount of cash such that the portion distributed to Madison will equal or exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Company’s taxable income, if any, to be allocated to Madison with respect to such calendar year; provided, that if Madison shall agree, any distribution made in the month of January of a calendar year may be treated as if such distribution were made on December 31 of the preceding calendar year for purposes of this requirement; provided, further, that if Madison’s share of Available Cash is insufficient to meet the aforesaid distribution requirement with respect to Madison, then the Company shall have satisfied the foregoing requirement upon distributing to Madison its share of Available Cash.

provided, however, that if at the time the Company makes a distribution to any Member pursuant to this Section 6.07 and all or any portion of any Priority Member Loan (including any Priority Loan Interest) remains unpaid, then (i) the portion of such distribution that otherwise would have been made by the Company to the Non Contributing Member or any transferee or assignee of the Non-Contributing Member with respect to any outstanding Priority Member Loan shall instead be paid by the Company, on behalf of the Non-Contributing Member, to the Contributing Member in repayment of such outstanding Priority Member Loan until each such Priority Member Loan (including any Priority Loan Interest) is repaid in full, and (ii) any amount so transferred by the Company to the Contributing Member shall be treated, for all purposes of this Agreement, as having been distributed to the Non-Contributing Member or any transferee or assignee of the Non-Contributing Member and then transferred by the Non-Contributing Member or any transferee or assignee of the Non-Contributing Member to the Contributing Member in repayment of all or a portion, as the case may be, of any Priority Loan Interest on, and then any outstanding principal of, the Priority Member Loan.

(vii)    cause the Company to directly or indirectly, (i) acquire any properties adjacent to any of the Properties or (ii) undertake a new development on one or more of the Properties (collectively, a “New Acquisition or Development”);

The


25


Right of First Offer shall be irrevocable during the ROFO Exercise Period.

If TPG Member (or its designee) does not deliver a ROFO Exercise Notice to Madison Member within the ROFO Exercise Period, TPG Member shall be deemed to have rejected the Right of First Offer with respect to the Offered Interest and Madison Member shall have the right (provided such Transfer otherwise complies with the transfer restrictions set forth in this Article IX) to effect the contemplated Transfer at arms length, on market terms, at a price equal to or greater than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Offer Price, with one hundred percent (100%) of the purchase price paid at closing, for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days following the expiration of the ROFO Exercise Period (the “ROFO Outside Date”), and if Madison Member shall fail to enter into a contract of sale for the sale of the Offered Interest within such one hundred and twenty (120) day period, Madison Member shall be required to deliver to TPG Member another Offer Notice in accordance with the terms of Section 9.03(a) to the extent Madison Member intends to further negotiate or consummate such contemplated Transfer or any other Transfer.
(c)    If TPG Member (or its designee) shall have exercised its right to purchase the Offered Interest and shall have then defaulted in consummating the transaction, then Madison Member may, in addition to any other remedy Madison Member may have at law and/or in equity, retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and Madison Member shall thereafter not be required to deliver an Offer Notice to TPG Member in connection with such Transfer of Madison Member’s Interest. If TPG Member (or its designee) shall have exercised its right to purchase the Offered Interest and Madison Member shall have defaulted in consummating the transaction, then TPG Member may, in addition to any other remedy TPG Member may have at law and/or in equity, enforce the sale by specific performance.
9.04    Put Right.

(b)    Upon exercise of the Put Right, TPG Member shall acquire the Interest of Madison Member on or prior to the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day after the receipt by TPG of the Put Notice (the “Put Period”). Within ten (10) days of the determination of the Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 9.04(f), TPG Member shall deposit a nonrefundable amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Put Price (the “Put Deposit 1”) in escrow pursuant to a customary escrow agreement. On or prior to the conclusion of the Put Period, TPG Member may elect by notice to Madison Member (the “Extension Election Notice”) to defer the closing by an additional ninety (90) days beginning on the date of such election. Simultaneously with TPG


26


Member’s delivery of the Extension Election Notice, TPG Member shall deposit a nonrefundable amount equal to one percent (1%) of the Put Price (the “Put Deposit 2”, and collectively with the Put Deposit 1, the “Put Deposits”) in escrow pursuant to a customary escrow agreement.
(c)    At the closing, the Put Price shall be paid by TPG Member to Madison Member in immediately available funds. The terms of the purchase and sale shall be unconditional and (i) Madison Member shall represent and warrant that it has all necessary power and authority to transfer its Interest, that it is the record and beneficial owner of its Interest and that its Interest is owned by it free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and is subject to no legal or equitable claims and (ii) TPG Member shall assume all obligations and liabilities relating to the purchased Interest arising from transactions or events occurring after the closing of such sale. Upon request, each of Madison Member and TPG Member shall deliver to the other customary documentation evidencing the sale, assignment, representations and assumptions set forth herein.

(e)    The “Put Price” shall mean the amount that would have been received by a Member pursuant to Section 11.01(d) had the Properties been sold at Fair Market Value (as defined below) as of the closing pursuant to this Section 9.04, and had (i) the Venture then (A) paid in full all of its debts and liabilities and all other loans and encumbrances to which the Properties are subject, (B) made customary apportionments as of the closing, including market- rate brokerage fees and other customary closing costs, (C) not established any reserves, and (D) distributed all remaining cash to its members in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Venture Agreement, and (ii) the Company then (A) paid in full all of its debts and liabilities, (B) not established any reserves, and (C) distributed all remaining cash to the Members pursuant to Section 11.01(d).

(i)    If TPG and Madison have not agreed on a Fair Market Value in writing within fifteen (15) days following the date of the Put Notice (the “FMV Notice”), each Party shall designate by notice to the other an Appraiser and cause such Appraiser to submit its


27


determination of Fair Market Value within thirty (30) days (or such longer or shorter period as the Parties may agree in writing) after the delivery of the Put Notice (the “Appraisal Period”). Each Appraiser shall prepare a written evaluation of the Fair Market Value (including supporting data and calculations and an explanation of the Appraiser’s methodology) by the end of the Appraisal Period and provide copies thereof to the Parties. Each Party shall cause the Appraiser selected by it to deliver its determination of Fair Market Value and written evaluation on the day agreed to by the Parties, such date not to be later than the last day of the Appraisal Period. The Appraisers shall perform the valuation of the Properties as if such Properties were free and clear of all debt and taking into account the advantages of the geographic concentration of the Properties using traditional methods of valuation including comparable transactions analysis, but shall provide a single, final Fair Market Value. An Appraiser may use and rely on industry experts that it determines in its reasonable discretion and judgment are necessary or desirable to perform the task for which it has been engaged.
(ii)    If the Fair Market Values provided by the two Appraisers differs by an amount that is not more than five (5%) of the higher Fair Market Value, the final Fair Market Value shall be the average of these two Fair Market Values; otherwise, the Appraisers shall appoint a third Appraiser within ten (10) days after the end of the Appraisal Period (the “Appointment Period”). If the Appraisers fail to appoint a third Appraiser by the end of the Appointment Period, then the Parties shall appoint a third Appraiser within ten (10) days after the end of the Appointment Period. If the Parties fail to appoint a third Appraiser within such ten (10) day period, then either Party may request the American Arbitration Association or any successor organization thereto to appoint a third Appraiser. If a third Appraiser has not been appointed by the American Arbitration Association within thirty (30) days of a Party’s request for it to do so, then either Party may apply to any court having jurisdiction for appointment of the third Appraiser.
(iii)    The third Appraiser’s sole function shall be to choose the Fair Market Value proposed by one (1) of the prior two (2) Appraisers that the third Appraiser determines is closest to the Fair Market Value and such choice shall establish the Fair Market Value. The third Appraiser’s choice shall be made within twenty (20) days after the third Appraiser is selected.
(iv)    Each Party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Appraiser designated by it and one half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the third Appraiser.
(v)    The determination of Fair Market Value pursuant to this Section 9.04 shall be conclusive and binding on the Members.
9.05    Transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement other than Section 9.04(d), no Transfer shall be permitted to the extent that such Transfer would violate any applicable law or any provision of any agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary or its assets are bound, and no transferee of all or any portion of any Interest shall be admitted as a substitute Member unless (i) such Interest is transferred in compliance with applicable law and the applicable provisions of this Agreement, and (ii) such transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company such instruments as the Managing Member reasonably deems 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 the terms,


28

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.

9.07    Forced Sale and ROFO under the Venture Agreement.
(a)    If CalSTRS delivers an “Initiating Notice” (as defined in the Venture Agreement) to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.01(a) of the Venture Agreement electing to cause the Venture to sell one or more of the Properties for an “Offer Price” (as defined in the Venture Agreement), in each instance the Managing Member shall deliver a copy of the applicable Initiating Notice to the Members and notify the Members of the Offer Price CalSTRS proposed for the Sale Projects. Within ten days after receipt of the Initiating Notice, TPG Member shall provide a preliminary indication to Madison Member, which shall not be binding on TPG Member under any circumstance, whether TPG Member anticipates exercising the right of the Company to purchase the Sale Projects (in accordance with Section 11.02 of the Venture Agreement) or CalSTRS’ entire “Interest” (as defined in the Venture Agreement) (in accordance with Section 11.04 of the Venture Agreement) (any such purchase, a “CalSTRS Purchase”). Madison Member shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Initiating Notice to deliver a notice to the Company and to TPG Member (the “Election Notice”) stating whether Madison Member elects (i) to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase (and if TPG Member ultimately does not elect to participate in a CalSTRS Purchase, then the Company shall not make such CalSTRS Purchase regardless of Madison Member’s election), or (ii) not to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase (in which case Madison Member shall also state in the Election Notice whether Madison Member requires TPG Member to purchase all of Madison Member’s Interest in the Company if the CalSTRS Purchase is structured as a purchase of CalSTRS entire Interest in the Venture under Section 11.04 of the Venture Agreement or the CalSTRS Purchase is structured as a sale of all of the Projects (as defined in the Venture Agreement) then held by the Venture). If Madison Member does not provide an Election Notice within fifteen days after Madison Member’s receipt of the Initiating Notice, Madison Member shall be deemed to have declined to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase and to have elected to have TPG Member purchase all of Madison Member’s Interest in the Company and shall not have any right under this Article IX to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase.
(b)    If the Managing Member elects to cause the Company to make a CalSTRS Purchase (whether as a purchase of Sale Projects or CalSTRS’ Interest) and if Madison Member’s Election Notice states that Madison Member elects to participate in such purchase, then (i) the Managing Member shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the Company to deliver a notice of its election to make a CalSTRS Purchase and to otherwise consummate the purchase as provided in the Venture Agreement, (ii) each Member shall be deemed to have agreed to make


29


an Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to Section 4.02 equal to such Member’s Percentage Interest of the amount required to be paid to CalSTRS or the Company in accordance with the Venture Agreement and all of the related costs and expenses on or prior to the time required under the Venture Agreement to close such acquisition and (iii) each of the Members shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Company and with each other to consummate such transaction.
(c)    If the Managing Member elects to cause the Company to make a CalSTRS Purchase (whether as a purchase of Sale Projects or CalSTRS’ Interest) and Madison Member’s Election Notice states that Madison Member elects not to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase (or Madison Member is otherwise deemed to have elected not to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase), (i) TPG Member may in its sole and absolute discretion acquire or cause its Affiliate to acquire the CalSTRS Interest or the Sale Projects, as the case may be, outside of the Company without any participation by Madison Member or the Company (except for potential distributions made by the Venture and the Company resulting from the Venture’s disposition of Sale Projects); (ii) Madison Member shall waive any conflicts of interest and agree that TPG Member or its Affiliate may own, hold, operate and otherwise deal with such acquired CalSTRS Interest or Sale Projects in its sole and absolute discretion outside of the Company and without regard to any Fiduciary Duties hereunder; (iii) TPG Member or its Affiliate will be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities arising out of such CalSTRS Purchase; and (iv) TPG Member or its Affiliate shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Madison Member from and against any claims by CalSTRS or any other third party arising out of such CalSTRS Purchase by TPG Member or its Affiliate outside of the Company; provided, however, that, if the CalSTRS Purchase is structured as a purchase of CalSTRS’ Interest in the Venture under Section 11.04 of the Venture Agreement and if Madison Member elected in the Election Notice not to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase but stated in the Election Notice that Madison Member requires TPG Member to purchase all of Madison Member’s Interest in the Company, then TPG Member (or its designee) shall purchase, and Madison Member shall sell to TPG Member (or its designee), all of Madison Member’s Interest in the Company at the closing of the related CalSTRS Purchase for a purchase price equal to the product of (x) Madison Member’s Percentage Interest in the Company, multiplied by (y) the Company’s Percentage Interest (as defined in the Venture Agreement) in the Venture, multiplied by (z) a fraction, the numerator of which is the actual price paid for CalSTRS’ Interest pursuant to Section 11.04 of the Venture Agreement and the denominator of which is CalSTRS Percentage Interest (as defined in the Venture Agreement) in the Venture; provided further however, that, if the CalSTRS Purchase is structured as a purchase of all of the Properties owned by the Venture and if Madison Member elected in the Election Notice not to participate in the CalSTRS Purchase but stated in the Election Notice that Madison Member requires TPG Member to purchase all of Madison Member’s Interest in the Company, then TPG Member (or its designee) shall purchase, and Madison Member shall sell to TPG Member (or its designee), all of Madison Member’s Interest in the Company at the closing of the related CalSTRS Purchase for a purchase price equal to the amount that otherwise would have been distributed to Madison Member by the Company pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof after the Venture’s distribution of proceeds from the CalSTRS Purchase to the Company in accordance with the distribution provisions set forth in the Venture Agreement (assuming Madison Member had not sold its Interest to TPG Member or its designee).


30


(d)    If TPG Member defaults in its obligation to effect a CalSTRS Purchase pursuant to the Venture Agreement, TPG Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Madison Member for any and all claims, losses, obligations, liabilities, costs and damages, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees suffered or incurred by Madison Member as a result of such default. No designation by TPG Member of a designee to make a purchase under this Section shall in any fashion release TPG Member of any of its obligations hereunder.
X. INDEMNIFICATION
10.01    Indemnification.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.01, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Members and their respective members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, lawsuits and other proceeding, judgments, awards, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs), including without limitation in connection with any lawsuit brought by the members of the Venture that do not arise from any violation or breach of this Agreement, to the extent the same arise directly or indirectly from the ownership, operation, use, maintenance or management of the Properties or by reason of its acts or omissions which are for or on behalf of the Company and taken in accordance, or believed in good faith to be in accordance, with such Member’s responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that (i) the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent the same arises out of or result from the fraud, willful misconduct gross negligence, violation of law or breach of the terms of this Agreement by such Indemnitee, (ii) Indemnitees shall only be reimbursed out of the Company Assets (together with any Additional Capital Contributions that may be required to be made by the Members under Section 4.02(a)) and (iii) no Member shall be reimbursed from the Company Assets for attorneys’ fees or other legal expenses incurred in connection with litigation against another Member.
(b)    Each Member agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Members against all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, lawsuits and other proceeding, judgments, awards, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs) to the extent the same arise directly or indirectly from any material inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, as applicable, of such Member made pursuant to this Agreement.

31


the Act or any other applicable law (the “Indemnity Laws”) and, to the fullest extent permitted under the Indemnity Laws, the Company shall advance any expenses incurred by such defending Member in defending such action, subject to repayment.
(e)    If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against a party (the “Indemnified Party”) and pursuant to which claim, action or proceeding another party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the terms of this Section 10.01(e), then the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnified Party’s name, if necessary, by such attorneys as the Indemnified Party shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (and shall be deemed granted if such attorney is selected by the Indemnifying Party’s insurer). If any claim is made against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall give notice of the claim to the Indemnifying Party in order that the Indemnifying Party can undertake its obligations pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph (f). The Indemnifying Party may settle any such action involving the Indemnified Party on such terms as the Indemnifying Party determines, but only if (i) the Indemnified Party receives a general release from the claimant in the action and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall not be required to admit or be deemed to admit any guilt in any such action. Failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party of any claim, action or proceeding shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder unless the failure to notify is prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party.

Exhibit C
Form of FIRPTA Affidavit
FIRPTA CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest (“USRPI”) must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a USRPI under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a USRPI by __________________ (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:
1.    Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

2.    Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

3.    Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is [_________]; and

4.    Transferor’s office address is:

[_____]

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.
