RECITALS

A. TPG/CalSTRS owns indirectly through a series of wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Title Holding Subsidiaries”) that certain office complex commonly known as City National Plaza, located at 505 – 555 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, California (the “Project”). TPG and CalSTRS are the sole members of TPG/CalSTRS. The current ownership structure for the Project is shown on Exhibit “B” attached hereto.

B. TPGA is a Title Holding Subsidiary directly and wholly owned by TPG/CalSTRS.

C. TPG Plaza Investments is a Title Holding Subsidiary directly and wholly owned by TPGA.

D. In connection with a prior restructure of the ownership of TPG Plaza Investments, TPG Plaza Investments entered into a financing arrangement with certain of its prior members referred to herein as the Picerne/Kings Capital Loan.

E. For purposes of financing the Project, additional Title Holding Subsidiaries directly and indirectly wholly owned by TPG Plaza Investments obtained the loans identified on Exhibit “C” attached hereto (the “Mezzanine Loans”), which are currently held by the various holders of the Mezzanine Loans (the “Mezzanine Lenders”). Guarantor guaranteed certain obligations of the borrowers under the Mezzanine Loans pursuant to various guarantees (the “Loan Guaranties”).

F. Also for purposes of financing the Project, another Title Holding Subsidiary obtained that certain mortgage loan in the principal amount of Three Hundred Fifty Five Million Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($355,300,000) (the “Mortgage Loan”).

G. TPG, for itself and on behalf of TPG/CalSTRS and the Title Holding Subsidiaries, after considering the financial status of the Project and the Mezzanine Loans as well as alternative sources of financing, has specifically requested that CalSTRS acquire the Mezzanine Loans and thereafter retire the Mezzanine Loans in exchange for an equity interest in TPG Plaza Investments (the “New TPG Plaza Interest”) separate from CalSTRS’ equity interest held through TPG/CalSTRS.

H. In connection with such request, CalSTRS has formed CNP Investor for the purposes set forth herein. Pursuant to the CNP Investor LLC Agreement, CalSTRS is the sole member of CNP Investor, and TPG is the non-member manager thereof with such authority and responsibility as set forth therein.

CNP Investor will retire the Mezzanine Loans following their acquisition and convert the Mezzanine Loans into the New TPG Plaza Interest, all subject to and in accordance with the terms hereof.

J. If the acquisition of the Mezzanine Loans and the Conversion were to be consummated as described above, then the ownership structure for the Project would be as set forth on Exhibit “D” attached hereto.

K. Concurrently herewith, TPG and CalSTRS have entered into that certain Sixth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of TPG/CalSTRS, LLC in connection with the matters described in this Agreement.

L. The Parties now desire to set forth herein the terms and conditions pursuant to which CNP Investor will acquire the Mezzanine Loans and the ownership of the Mezzanine Loans, once acquired by CNP Investor, will be converted into the New TPG Plaza Interest held by CNP Investor.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and representations hereinafter contained, and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto fully incorporate the Recitals above herein and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

PURCHASE OF MEZZANINE LOANS

1.1 Loan Purchase Agreements. CNP Investor, as described above, has entered into the Loan Purchase Agreements with respect to the Mezzanine Loans. TPG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the consummation of the Loan Purchase

Agreements, including without limitation, by consulting and coordinating with the Mezzanine Lenders and assisting with the satisfaction of conditions to closing thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CNP shall have the right and authority to make all decisions and take all actions under the Loan Purchase Agreements in its sole and absolute discretion.

1.2 Rights of CNP Investor as Lender. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during the period prior to the Conversion, while CNP Investor is the holder of the Mezzanine Loans, Article VII shall apply, and CNP Investor (and CalSTRS as the owner of CNP Investor) shall have all rights and remedies available under the Mezzanine Loan Documents or otherwise, as more specifically set forth in Article VII.

1.3 Mortgage Lender Notification and Consent. Following the acquisition of all of the Mezzanine Loans in accordance with the Loan Purchase Agreements, CalSTRS, CNP Investor and TPG shall cooperate in notifying Mortgage Lender that (i) CNP Investor has acquired the Mezzanine Loans using purchase funds consisting of new cash equity funds of CalSTRS which were not derived directly or indirectly from the Project, and (ii) CNP Investor has waived and relinquished, for the benefit of Mortgage Lender, certain rights of the Mezzanine Lenders under the Intercreditor Agreement. Further, each of CalSTRS, CNP Investor and TPG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender its written (A) acknowledgment of the foregoing, (B) consent to the retirement of the Mezzanine Loans, without any prepayment of the Mortgage Loan or other material condition to such consent, and (C) acknowledgment that upon the retirement of the Mezzanine Loans, the Intercreditor Agreement will be terminated as provided therein (collectively, the “Mortgage Lender Consent”).

1.4 Effect of Closing under Loan Purchase Agreements. The Parties intend that all closings under the Loan Purchase Agreements shall occur concurrently. Notwithstanding the execution and entry into this Agreement by all Parties on the date hereof, the performance by the Parties of their respective obligations set forth in Articles II, III and V of this Agreement shall commence to apply only upon the acquisition of the Mezzanine Loans by CNP Investor, if and when such acquisition occurs. Unless and until CNP Investor acquires the Mezzanine Loans, no Party shall have any obligations to any other Party arising under Articles II, III and V of this Agreement.

1.5 No Distributions. Unless agreed by all the members of TPG/CalSTRS in writing, no distributions shall be made by TPG Plaza Investments from the date hereof until the Mezzanine Loan Acquisition Date.

ARTICLE II.

CONVERSION OF LOANS TO EQUITY

2.1 Agreement to Convert. Following the acquisition of the Mezzanine Loans by CNP Investor and as further provided in Section 2.2, CNP Investor shall be admitted as a member of TPG Plaza Investments in exchange for CNP Investor entering into the Loan Termination Agreements with each of the Mezzanine Borrowers to terminate all outstanding obligations under the Mezzanine Loans, all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, thereby converting the Mezzanine Loans into an equity interest in TPG Plaza Investments (the “Conversion”). CNP Investor shall convert all, and not less than all, of the Mezzanine Loans acquired from the Mezzanine Lenders.

2.2 Timing of Closing of the Conversion. The Conversion shall be scheduled to occur on the date (the “Scheduled Conversion Date”) that is the earlier of (i) five (5) days following receipt by CNP Investor and TPG of the Mortgage Lender Consent, (ii) the maturity date of the Mezzanine Loans, or (iii) the date that the Mortgage Loan has been fully repaid.

ARTICLE III.

CLOSING OF CONVERSION

3.1 Conversion Closing. Provided that upon the Scheduled Conversion Date (a) all of the conditions to Conversion Closing set forth in this Agreement have been satisfied or waived by the Party in whose favor the condition runs and (b) this Agreement has not been terminated by any Party in accordance with the provisions set forth herein, the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated (the “Conversion Closing”), with the date that Conversion Closing actually occurs being the “Conversion Date”.

3.2 CNP Investor’s Closing Deliveries. Upon the Conversion Closing, CNP Investor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to TPG:

3.2.1 Two originals of that certain Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of TPG Plaza Investments, LLC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E” (the “Amended TPG Plaza Investments LLC Agreement”), duly executed by CNP Investor;

3.2.2 The original of the note for each Mezzanine Loan marked cancelled by CNP Investor and two originals of the Loan Termination Agreement (Senior Mezzanine) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “G”, and two originals of the Loan Termination Agreement (Junior Mezzanine) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” (collectively, the “Loan Termination Agreements”), duly executed by CNP Investor; and

3.2.3 Such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably required by TPG to consummate the Conversion.

3.3 TPG’s Closing Deliveries. Upon the Conversion Closing, TPG shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to CalSTRS:

3.3.1 Two originals of the Amended TPG Plaza Investments LLC Agreement, duly executed by TPGA;

3.3.2 Two originals of each of the Loan Termination Agreements, duly executed by Junior Mezzanine Borrower and Senior Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable; and

3.3.3 Such other documents and certificates as may be reasonably required by CalSTRS to consummate the Conversion.

3.4 Cash Reconciliation. It had been the intention of the Parties to implement the Conversion concurrently with the Mezzanine Loan Acquisition Date. However, the Parties recognize that the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1.1 and 5.2.1 will necessitate a delay in the Conversion beyond the Mezzanine Loan Acquisition Date. The Parties desire that, to the maximum extent possible, the economic effect of a Conversion concurrent with the acquisition of the Mezzanine Loans be replicated notwithstanding such delay. Therefore, upon the Conversion Closing, TPG shall certify in writing as to the financial information necessary to perform the reconciliation, and the Parties shall in good faith reconcile the differences between the economic results of the Conversion occurring on the Conversion Date as compared to a hypothetical closing on the Mezzanine Loan Acquisition Date. The Parties shall then calculate an amount of cash that shall be paid by CNP Investor to TPGA, or by TPGA to CNP Investor, as applicable based on the net debits and credits for the reconciliation, such that the Conversion on the Conversion Date will result in the same economic effect as if the Conversion had occurred on the Mezzanine Loan Acquisition Date. This reconciliation shall include, without limitation, the following adjustments:

3.4.1 TPGA shall be credited, and CNP Investor shall be debited, with an amount equal to TPGA’s Plaza Percentage multiplied by the total debt service payments received by CNP Investor during the Reconciliation Period.

3.4.2 CNP Investor shall be credited, and TPGA shall be debited, with an amount equal to CNP Investor’s Plaza Percentage multiplied by the total distributions by TPG Plaza Investments to TPGA during the Reconciliation Period.

3.4.3 TPGA shall be credited, and CNP Investor shall be debited, with an amount equal CNP Investor’s Plaza Percentage multiplied by the total capital contributions made by TPGA to TPG Plaza Investments during the Reconciliation Period.

3.5 TPG Plaza Investments as Title Holding Subsidiary. Upon the Conversion and acquisition by CNP Investor of the New TPG Plaza Interest, TPG Plaza Investments shall continue to be deemed a Title Holding Subsidiary of TPG/CalSTRS, notwithstanding that it shall cease to be wholly owned indirectly by TPG/CalSTRS, and the provisions relating to Title Holding Subsidiaries under TPG/CalSTRS LLC Agreement shall continue to apply to TPG Plaza Investments, as more particularly described in the Amended TPG Plaza Investments LLC Agreement.

ARTICLE IV.

ARTICLE VII.

INDEPENDENCE OF RIGHTS

AS LENDER AND MEMBER.

7.1 Acknowledgments. TPG for itself and on behalf of the TPG Parties recognizes and acknowledges the following:

7.1.1 CNP Investor has agreed, and CalSTRS, as the sole member of CNP Investor, has agreed to cause CNP Investor, to acquire the Mezzanine Loans if CNP Investor, in its capacity as the holder of the Mezzanine Loans, and CalSTRS as its owner, are treated as, and are entitled to all of the rights and remedies of, a third-party lender not in any way related to the TPG Parties. Were CNP Investor, in its capacity as the Lender, or CalSTRS as the owner of the Lender, to not be treated as, or entitled to all of the rights and remedies of, a third party lender not in any way related to the TPG Parties, CNP Investor would not have agreed to enter, and CalSTRS would not have agreed to cause CNP Investor to enter, into the Loan Purchase Agreements to purchase the Mezzanine Loans.

7.1.2 TPG and the other TPG Parties are agreeing to the provisions of this Article VII to induce CNP Investor to acquire, and CalSTRS to cause CNP Investor to acquire, the Mezzanine Loans. TPG and the other TPG Parties acknowledge that CalSTRS and CNP Investor will be relying upon the provisions of this Article VII in acquiring the Mezzanine Loans and that, but for this Article VII and the other provisions set forth in this Agreement, CNP Investor would not acquire, and CalSTRS would not cause CNP Investor to acquire, the Mezzanine Loans. The TPG Parties will be benefited by CNP Investor acquiring the Mezzanine Loans and by the Conversion and that such benefit constitutes actual and adequate consideration for this Agreement.

7.1.3 Any provision of this Article VII referencing CNP Investor as Lender shall extend, whether or not explicitly set forth, to CalSTRS as the owner of CNP Investor. Similarly, any provision of this Article VII referencing CNP Investor as a member of TPG Plaza Investments, LLC or a TPG Related Party shall extend, whether or not explicitly set forth, to CalSTRS as an Affiliate of CNP Investor.

7.1.4 The admission of TPG or any of its Affiliates as members of CNP Investor shall in no way affect any of the acknowledgments, agreements or waivers made by any of the TPG Parties pursuant to this Article VII.

7.2 Acquisition of Mortgage Loan. It is the parties’ intention to refinance the Mortgage Loan on or prior to the maturity date of the Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 7.1, TPG and the other TPG Parties agree that CalSTRS, CNP Investor and their Affiliates shall be free to acquire the Mortgage Loan as if it were a third party not in any way related to the TPG Parties, at par, at a discount or on any terms, upon the maturity of the Mortgage Loan (whether scheduled or accelerated). In the event of any acquisition of the Mortgage Loan by CalSTRS, CNP Investor or any of their Affiliates, the provisions of this Article VII shall apply equally to the Mortgage Loan, with CalSTRS, CNP Investor or such Affiliate as the “CalSTRS Lender” and CalSTRS, CNP Investor or such Affiliate as a “CalSTRS Member” of a TPG Related Party for purposes of this Article VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereto agree that CalSTRS, CNP Investor or any applicable Affiliate will convert the Mortgage Loan into an equity interest in the Project commensurate on a dollar-for-dollar basis with the then-outstanding principal, interest and other payments due under the Mortgage Loan in a manner similar to, and on substantially the same terms as, the Conversion contemplated herein.

7.3 Exercise of Management Control with Respect to Mezzanine Loans.

In connection with this Agreement, each of the TPG Parties acknowledges and agrees on its own behalf, and on behalf of its Constituents, that the TPG Parties and their respective Constituents have waived and released certain rights, defenses and remedies that might otherwise have been available to the TPG Parties or their Constituents.

8.18 CalSTRS Counsel.

8.18.1 The parties acknowledge and agree that Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP (“CalSTRS Counsel”) has represented and will represent only CalSTRS and CNP Investor in connection with this Agreement, the acquisition and ownership of the Mezzanine Loans by CNP Investor, the Conversion and the Conversion Documents (the “CalSTRS Matters”). As part of the CalSTRS Matters, CalSTRS Counsel will represent CalSTRS in its capacity as the owner of CNP Investor in connection with the acquisition of the Mezzanine Loans and the enforcement of the Lender’s rights and remedies under the Mezzanine Loan Documents, including without limitation, if necessary, the appointment of a receiver and foreclosure. CalSTRS Counsel does not and will not represent any of the TPG Parties or any of their Constituents in connection with the CalSTRS Matters. Further, no attorney/client, trust, confidential or other special relationship exists or will exist between CalSTRS Counsel, on one hand, and the TPG Parties or any of their Constituents, on the other hand, in connection with the CalSTRS Matters, and CalSTRS Counsel shall have no duties to the TPG Parties or any of their Constituents in connection with the CalSTRS Matters.

8.18.2 The parties further acknowledge and agree that one or more of the TPG Parties may have in the past, and may in the future, engage CalSTRS Counsel for advice or representation on matters not related to the CalSTRS Matters including, without limitation, matters related to the ownership, operation and financing of the Project with unrelated parties (the “Venture Matters”). CalSTRS Counsel’s sole client in the Venture Matters will be the applicable TPG Party. Each of the TPG Parties, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Constituents consents to CalSTRS Counsel’s representation of any of the TPG Parties and acknowledges and agrees that, in the Venture Matters, CalSTRS Counsel is not representing any party other than the applicable TPG Party. Thus, no lawyer-client, trust, confidential or other special relationship will exist between CalSTRS Counsel and any such party other than the applicable TPG Party in connection with the Venture Matters. Nothing in this Section 8.18 shall prohibit CalSTRS Counsel from representing TPG/CalSTRS and the Title Holding Subsidiaries with respect to the ownership and operation of the Project and, with the sole exception of the Mezzanine Loans during the period when CNP Investor owns the Mezzanine Loans, its financing.

8.18.3 CalSTRS and the TPG Parties, each on its own behalf and on behalf of its Constituents, agree that CalSTRS Counsel may concurrently represent CalSTRS in its capacity as the holder of the Mezzanine Loans in connection with the CalSTRS Matters and TPG/CalSTRS in connection with Venture Matters. CalSTRS and the TPG Parties, each on its own behalf and on behalf of its Constituents, waives and releases any conflicts arising out of that concurrent representation.

8.18.4 Further, the parties intend that CalSTRS Counsel shall remain free to represent CalSTRS or its affiliates on any issue or matter, including any dispute that is or may be adverse to the interests of the TPG Parties. Therefore, each of the TPG Parties, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Constituents, agrees that if a future dispute were to arise between CalSTRS, on the one hand, and any one or more of the TPG Parties, on the other hand, CalSTRS Counsel may represent CalSTRS in such dispute, whether or not related to the Venture Matters. CalSTRS Counsel is also authorized to share with CalSTRS any and all information related to the Venture Matters. Further, CalSTRS Counsel may withdraw from representation of any TPG Party for any reason and may continue to represent CalSTRS on any matter, including any matter that is adverse to a TPG Party, even if it is related to the matter with respect to which CalSTRS Counsel has withdrawn from representing a TPG Party.

8.18.5 Each of the TPG Parties, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Constituents, waives and releases any conflicts arising out of CalSTRS Counsel’s representation of any TPG Party in connection with Venture Matters. The TPG Parties, each on its own behalf and on behalf of its Constituents, covenants and agrees, that in no event may any of the TPG Parties any of their Constituents seek to disqualify CalSTRS Counsel from any matter on the grounds of CalSTRS Counsel’s representation of a TPG Party in connection with Venture Matters. By way of example, in the event any dispute or controversy arises between TPG/CalSTRS, on the one hand, and CalSTRS, on the other hand, then CalSTRS Counsel may represent CalSTRS in any such dispute or controversy.

8.18.6 This Section 8.18 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or the termination hereof, whether or not any of the transactions have been consummated.

The Manager shall have the right to delegate any or all of its authority, rights and/or obligations, whether arising hereunder, under the Act or otherwise, to any one or more agents or other duly authorized representatives, provided that such delegation shall not cause the Company to incur additional costs than would otherwise be incurred. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, as set forth in Section 1.04, the actions of the Manager in exercising its authority and carrying out its duties hereunder shall be governed by the provisions of the TPG/CalSTRS LLC Agreement.

2.06 Liability and Indemnity.

(a) Limitation on Liability. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Members or the Constituents thereof shall be liable, responsible, or accountable, in damages or otherwise, to the Company or any Member for any good faith business judgment if such Member or Constituent exercised Due Care and did not cause or engage in an Event of Default.

(b) Indemnity. The Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Member and Constituent thereof to the greatest extent permitted by law against any and all liabilities, losses, claims, costs, damages and expenses (including without limitation Costs of Litigation) as a result of any claim or legal proceeding by any Person (including by or through the Company and/or any Member) relating to any good faith business judgment if such indemnitee acted with Due Care and did not cause or engage in an Event of Default.

(c) Costs of Defense. From time to time, as requested by an indemnitee, Costs of Litigation will, if reasonably approved by the Manager (taking into account, among other things, the availability of security for any repayment obligation on the part of the indemnitee and the likelihood that such repayment will be necessary), be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claims, actions or proceedings upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of such indemnitee, reasonably satisfactory to Manager, to repay such amounts if it shall be determined that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

ARTICLE III.

[RESERVED]

ARTICLE IV.

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

4.01 Initial Contributions of the Members. Any contribution made to the capital of the Company pursuant to this Section is referred to as an “Initial Contribution”.

(a) Prior to the date hereof, TPGA has contributed to the capital of the Company as reflected in the books and records of the Company.

(b) In accordance with the Master Agreement, as of the date hereof, CNP Investor has agreed to convert debt owing by the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company into an equity interest in the Company upon the terms set forth herein, and CNP Investor is hereby admitted as a Member of the Company.

(c) The Percentage Interests and total Capital Contributions attributable to each Member as of the date hereof is set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

4.02 Additional Contributions. From time to time, the Manager may require the Members to make Additional Contributions to the Company, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the TPG/CalSTRS LLC Agreement. The Additional Contributions will be provided by the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. Any and all contributions made to the capital of the Company pursuant to this Section shall be referred to as “Additional Contributions” and shall be credited to the Book Capital Account of the Contributing Member as and when such contribution is made.

4.03 Remedies For Failure to Contribute Capital.

(a) Remedies. If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails timely to make all or any portion of any Additional Contribution or such other amount such Member is required to contribute pursuant to any provision of this Agreement (the “Shortfall Amount”) and such failure continues for ten (10) business days following the Effective Date of notice thereof from the other Member, then such other Member (the “Contributing Member”), in addition to any and all other remedies available to the Contributing Member under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity (including, without limitation, instituting a legal proceeding to collect the Shortfall Amount), shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time thereafter (provided such Contributing Member has contributed the corresponding Additional Capital required of it), in its sole discretion, to implement any of the following remedies:

(i) Cause the Company to refund to the Contributing Member that portion of the corresponding Additional Contribution actually made by the Contributing Member that is in proportion to the Shortfall Amount (the “Refund Amount”). For example, if, at a time the Members were obligated to contribute capital in the ratio of 75% by the Contributing Member and 25% by the Non-Contributing Member, the Non-Contributing Member failed to contribute capital resulting in a Shortfall Amount of $25,000, the Contributing Member would be entitled to withdraw from capital a Refund Amount equal to $75,000.

(ii) Fund the Shortfall Amount to the Company, not withdraw the Refund Amount, and treat the Shortfall Amount so funded as an Additional Contribution to the Company by the Contributing Member. In such event, the Percentage Interest of the Non-Contributing Member shall be immediately reduced, and the Percentage Interest of the Contributing Member shall be immediately increased, by the number of percentage points (the “Adjustment Amount”) equal to the product of (x) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Amount and the denominator of which is the total amount of capital previously contributed to the Company by the Non-Contributing Member times (y) one hundred fifty percent (150%). By way of example only, if the Non-Contributing Member fails to contribute capital in a Shortfall Amount equal to $10,000 and its total contributed capital at the time is $5,000,000, then the Non-Contributing Member’s Percentage Interest would be decreased, and the Contributing Member’s Percentage Interest would be increased, by 0.30 percentage points (calculated in the following manner: (($10,000÷$5,000,000) x 1.5 = 0.30 percentage points).

(b) Remedies Not Exclusive. It is expressly agreed by the Members that the rights and remedies of any Member on account of the failure of any other Member to make Additional Contributions set forth in this Section are cumulative, and not exclusive, of any other right or remedy, and that the funding of the Shortfall Amount by the Contributing Member shall not be or be deemed to be a cure or waiver of the breach or default of the Non-Contributing

Member. The foregoing provisions of this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Contributing Member shall have given written notice to the Non-Contributing Member within sixty (60) days after the funding of a Shortfall Amount of the Contributing Member’s intention to exercise any other right or remedy in addition to the funding of such Shortfall Amount, the funding of such Shortfall Amount shall then be deemed to be the sole and exclusive remedy to be exercised by the Contributing Member as a result of the Non-Contributing Member’s failure to make the Additional Contribution on account of which such Shortfall Amount was funded.

4.04 Capital Contributions in General. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (a) no part of the contributions of any Member to the capital of the Company may be withdrawn by such Member; (b) no Member shall be entitled to receive interest on such Member’s contributions to the capital of the Company; (c) no Member shall have the right to receive or obligation to accept property other than cash in return for such Member’s contributions to the Company; (d) no Member shall be required or be entitled to contribute additional capital, make any loan or advance any credit to the Company; (e) except as expressly provided in Article VI, no Member shall have the right to the return of all or any portion of its capital before the dissolution and termination of the Company and then only to the extent of the cash and other property, if any, distributable to the Members upon Company liquidation; and (f) no Person who is not a party to this Agreement may enforce or make any claim under any provision of this Agreement for the contribution of capital, payment of any amount or otherwise.

ARTICLE V.

The Company shall be operated as a partnership solely for state and federal income tax purposes.

5.02 Indemnity. Neither Member makes any representation or warranty to the other regarding the allocations of profits and losses of the Company, for tax purposes or otherwise. In the event either Member is audited or the allocations of profits or losses to such Member is challenged in any way, the Member being audited or challenged shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Member, its Constituents and the Company from and against any and all liability, loss (including without limitation Costs of Litigation) which any of them may suffer or incur by reason of any such audit or challenge or any such allocation of profits or losses to the Member being audited or challenged.

ARTICLE VI.

Additionally, the Manager shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including without limitation, any election under Section 754 of the Code) so long as such revocation does not result in any adverse tax consequences to CNP Investor or any of its Constituents.

ARTICLE VIII.

RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

8.01 Limitations on Transfer. Transfers by TPGA of its Membership Interest in the Company shall be governed by the provisions of the TPG/CalSTRS LLC Agreement relating to transfer of assets of TPG/CalSTRS. Transfers of CNP Investor’s Interest in the Company shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as Transfers of Interests held by CalSTRS in TPG/CalSTRS; provided, however, that, anything herein or therein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Transfer of membership interests in CNP Investor between CalSTRS and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and TPGLP and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall constitute a Transfer permitted hereunder. Any transferee of an Interest transferred in compliance with this Article VIII shall be deemed a “Permitted Transferee” hereunder.

8.02 Admission of Substitute Members. If any Member Transfers such Member’s Interest to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 8.01, then such Permitted Transferee shall be admitted into the Company as a substitute member if, but only if (a) the transferor and Permitted Transferee execute and acknowledge such other instruments as the non-transferring Member may deem reasonably necessary to effectuate such admission; (b) the Permitted Transferee in writing accepts, assumes and agrees to be bound by all of the transferor’s duties, obligations and liabilities under and pursuant to this Agreement and all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as the same may have been amended; and (c) the transferor pays all reasonable expenses incurred by the non-transferring Member in connection with such admission, including, without limitation, legal fees and costs. If such Permitted Transferee is admitted into the Company as a substitute member, the Manager shall cause the books and records of the Company to be amended to reflect such admission. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any Permitted Transferee of an Interest who does not become a substitute member shall have no right to require any information or account of the Company’s transactions, to inspect the Company books, or to vote on any of the matters as to which a Member would be entitled to vote under this Agreement, and such Permitted Transferee shall only be entitled, as an assignee, to receive such distributions and allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or similar items to which the transferor was entitled, to the extent assigned. A Member that Transfers its Interest shall not cease to be a member of the Company until the admission of the Permitted Transferee as a substituted member of the Company and, until the admission of such Permitted Transferee as a substitute member, such transferring Member shall continue to be entitled to exercise, and shall continue to be bound by, all of the rights, duties and obligations of such Member under this Agreement.

8.03 Additional Restrictions on Transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, any Transfer described in this Article shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect if (i) such Transfer would cause a termination of the Company for federal or state, if applicable, income tax purposes; (ii) such Transfer would require the registration of such Interest pursuant to, or otherwise directly or indirectly violate, any applicable federal or state securities Laws; (iii) such Transfer would cause the Company to become a “publicly traded partnership” as such term is defined in Section 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code; (iv) such

Transfer would cause the Company to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; (v) such Transfer would result in a violation of applicable Laws; (vi) such Transfer would, in the opinion of the Company’s counsel, cause the Company to cease to be classified as a partnership for state and federal income tax purposes; (vii) such Transfer would cause an acceleration of any loan or debt instrument to which the Company is a party or result in a breach or violation of any restriction contained in any agreement or order to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound; or (viii) the transferring Member fails to reimburse the Company and the other Member for any costs incurred by the Company or the other Member in connection with such Transfer. Until all of the conditions to an effective Transfer have been satisfied, the Company, the Manager and the other Member may continue to treat the purported transferor of any such interest as its absolute owner and shall incur no liability for any allocation or distribution made in good faith to the transferor.

8.04 Regulatory Prohibition. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, no Member shall take or permit any action to be taken with respect to itself (including, without limitation, any change in its shareholders, members or partners, as applicable) that would cause the Company to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended, and any such action shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect.

8.05 Election; Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee. Upon the Transfer of the Interest of any Member or the distribution of any property of the Company to a Member, the Company may file, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager, an election in accordance with applicable Income Tax Regulations, to cause the basis of the Company property to be adjusted for federal income tax purposes as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code. Upon the Transfer of the Interest of a Member as herein provided, the Profits and Losses attributable to the Interest so transferred shall be allocated between the transferor and Permitted Transferee as of the date set forth on the written assignment. In the reasonable discretion of the Manager, such allocation may be based upon either (a) the result of Company activities during the periods in which each was the holder of the Interest transferred; or (b) each Member’s pro rata share of the total Profits and Losses of the Company for the fiscal year in which the Transfer occurred based upon the number of days during the applicable fiscal year of the Company that the Interest so transferred was held by each of them. Distributions shall be made to the holder of record of the Interest on the date of distribution.

8.06 Partition. No Member shall have the right to partition any assets of the Company, nor shall a Member make an application or proceeding for a partition of any assets of the Company. Upon any breach of the provisions of this Section by any Member, the other Member (in addition to all rights and remedies afforded by law or equity) shall be entitled to a decree or order restraining or enjoining such application, action or proceeding. The Members expressly agree that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section.

8.07 Waiver of Withdrawal and Purchase Rights. Except in connection with any Transfer which results in the Permitted Transferee becoming a substitute member of the Company, no Member may voluntarily withdraw, resign or retire from the Company. Each

Member hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to withdraw and/or resign from the Company pursuant to Section 18-603 of the Delaware Act and hereby waives any and all rights such Member may have to receive the fair value of such Member’s Interest in the Company upon such withdrawal, resignation and/or retirement pursuant to Section 18-604 of the Delaware Act. No admission or withdrawal of a Member, whether in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise, shall cause the dissolution of the Company. Any purported admission, withdrawal or removal which is not in accordance with this Agreement shall be null and void and, in addition to other rights and remedies at law and in equity, the other Member(s) shall be entitled to injunctive relief enjoining the prohibited action. The Members expressly agree that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of the restrictions set forth in this Section.

ARTICLE IX.

DISSOLUTION

9.01 Events Causing Dissolution of the Company. The Company shall be dissolved upon the first to occur of (a) the expiration of the term of the Company; or (b) the affirmative election of the Manager to dissolve the Company. Neither a Member’s bankruptcy, retirement, resignation, expulsion or other cessation to serve, nor a technical termination of the Company under Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code, shall cause a dissolution of the Company and, notwithstanding such event, the Company’s business shall continue without interruption or break in continuity (subject to Section 708(b)(1)(B) of the Code if applicable). Except as may be permitted in accordance with this Section, no Member shall have the right to, and each Member hereby agrees that it shall not, seek to dissolve or cause the dissolution of the Company or seek to cause a partial or whole distribution or sale of Company assets, whether by court action or otherwise, it being agreed that any actual or attempted dissolution, distribution or sale not in accordance with this Section would cause a substantial hardship to the Company and the remaining Member. Any attempted dissolution or distribution not in accordance with this Section shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect and, in addition to the other rights and remedies at law and in equity, the other Member shall be entitled to injunctive relief enjoining the prohibited action. The Members expressly agree that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy for a breach or threatened breach of this Section.

9.02 Winding Up of the Company. Upon the dissolution of the Company the Members shall proceed to wind up the affairs of the Company. During such winding up process, the Profits, Losses, Capital Proceeds and Available Cash shall continue to be shared, allocated and distributed in accordance with this Agreement. The assets shall be liquidated as promptly as consistent with obtaining a fair value therefor. The proceeds from all asset sales, to the extent available, shall be applied and distributed by the Company as soon as reasonably practical after such liquidation, in the following order:

(a) First, to the Company’s creditors other than Members and the expenses of liquidation, in the order of priority provided by law;

(b) Second, to set up any reserves in amounts that are reasonably determined by the Manager to be necessary to provide for contingent, conditional, unmatured, unliquidated or uncertain liabilities or obligations. If any of such liabilities are being disputed or are

reasonably expected by the Manager to be disputed, the Manager may increase the reserve associated with any such disputed liability or obligation by the reasonable Costs of Litigation expected to be incurred by the Company in resolving the dispute. Such reserves shall be disbursed under the direction of the Manager in payment of such liabilities or obligations. As such liabilities or obligations have been paid or adequately provided for in the reasonable judgment of the Manager, the balance of such reserves shall be distributed, first pursuant to Section 9.02(c) and then Section 9.02(d) below;

(c) Third, to interest first and then principal on debts or obligations owing to the Members to the extent incurred in compliance with this Agreement; and

(d) Thereafter, to the Members as provided in Article IV of Exhibit C.

ARTICLE X.

For the purposes of implementing the provisions contained in this Agreement, the “Defaulting Member” shall be (i) in the case of an Event of Default referenced in Section 10.01(a)(i), the Member whose action or inaction caused or resulted in the Material Breach; and (ii) in the case of an Event of Default referenced in Section 10.01(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv), the Member who is the subject of such court decree or order, has instituted such proceedings or filed such petitions, or is insolvent, etc. The “Non-Defaulting Member” is the Member that is not the Defaulting Member.

10.02 Rights Arising From an Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Non-Defaulting Member shall have any and all rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including without limitation the right to refuse to make any further Additional Contributions.

13.03 Cross-References. All cross-references in this Agreement, unless specifically directed to another agreement or document, refer to provisions within this Agreement.

13.04 Cumulative Remedies. No remedy conferred upon the Company or any Member in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but rather each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute, including without limitation the right to petition a court to have a receiver appointed to manage the Project.

13.05 Litigation Without Termination. Any Member shall be entitled to maintain, on its own behalf or on behalf of the Company, any action or proceeding against any other Member or the Company (including, without limitation, any action for damages, specific performance or declaratory relief) for or by reason of breach of such party of this Agreement, or any agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, notwithstanding the fact that any or all of the parties to such proceeding may then be Members in the Company, and without dissolving the Company.

13.06 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) by any Member except as is otherwise permitted hereby.

13.08 Governing Law. Except as otherwise expressly provided, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without reference to choice of law principles which might indicate that the Law of some other jurisdiction should apply.

13.09 Interpretation. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation hereof. Whenever the context hereof shall so require, the singular shall include the plural, the male gender shall include the female gender and the neuter, and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be construed against either Member but shall be construed as a whole, in accordance with its fair meaning, and as if prepared by both Members jointly.

In addition to the foregoing award of Costs of Litigation, the prevailing party shall also be entitled to recover its Cost of Litigation incurred in any post judgment proceedings to collect or enforce any judgment. This provision is separate and several and shall survive the merger of this Agreement or any such other document into any judgment on this Agreement or such document.

13.16 No Waiver. No delay or failure on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or under any other instrument or document given in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or privilege or be construed as a waiver of any default or any acquiescence therein. No single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege shall preclude the further exercise of such right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be valid against any party hereto unless made in writing and executed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought and then only to the extent expressly specified therein.

13.17 Legal Representation. Each party has been represented by legal counsel in connection with the negotiation of the transactions herein contemplated and the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. Each party and its counsel have had an opportunity to review and

suggest revisions to the language of this Agreement. Accordingly, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed for or against or interpreted to the benefit or disadvantage of any party by reason of any party having or being deemed to have structured or drafted such provision.

13.18 Appendices, Schedules and Exhibits. All references in this Agreement to exhibits and schedules shall, unless otherwise expressly provided, be deemed to be references to the appendices, exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement. All such appendices, exhibits and schedules attached hereto are incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement as though fully set forth herein.

13.19 Provisions Governing Actions for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement or any document or instrument executed pursuant to this Agreement. The indemnitor shall be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, liability and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to any and all indemnified claims, and the indemnitor, at the indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, shall assume the defense of any and all indemnified claims, with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnitee; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented in such proceeding by counsel retained by the indemnitor. Any delay by the indemnitee in delivering written notice to the indemnitor after indemnitee receives notice of an indemnified claim shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee unless, and then only to the extent that, such delay is actually prejudicial to the indemnitor’s ability to defend such action, and the failure to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve the indemnitor of any other liability that it may have to any indemnitee. The settlement of a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor shall not release the indemnitor from liability with respect to such claim if the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld consent to such settlement or has failed to provide or pay for a defense thereof as provided herein. All fees, costs and expenses to be paid by indemnitor hereunder shall be made on a “paid as incurred” basis within thirty (30) days of the indemnitor’s receipt of a statement or invoice therefor. Should the indemnitor object to any such fees, costs or expenses the indemnitor shall nevertheless pay such fees, costs and expenses within said thirty (30) days which payment, if expressly stated in writing at the time of such payment to be “under protest”, shall not prejudice the indemnitor’s right to subsequently object to such fee, cost or expense paid under protest.

13.20 Signer’s Warranty. Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of an entity hereby represents and warrants to the other party or parties to this Agreement that (i) such individual has been duly and validly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement and any and all other documents contemplated by this Agreement on behalf of such entity; and (ii) this Agreement and all documents executed by such individual on behalf of such entity pursuant to this Agreement are and will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by such entity and are and will be legal, valid and binding obligations of such entity.

13.21 No Offer or Binding Contract. The parties hereto agree that the submission of an unexecuted copy or counterpart of this Agreement by one party to another is not intended by either party to be, or be deemed to be a legally binding contract or an offer to enter into a legally binding contract. The parties shall be legally bound pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only if and when the parties have been able to negotiate all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in a manner acceptable to each of the parties in their respective sole discretion, and both Members have fully executed and delivered this Agreement.

Section 1.1 Maintenance of Capital Accounts; General Rules. A separate “Book Capital Account” (as defined in Section 1.2 of this Exhibit) shall be maintained for each Member in accordance with the provisions of this Article I.

Section 1.2 Book Capital Accounts. A capital account (the “Book Capital Account”) for each Member shall be maintained at all times during the term of the Company in accordance with this Section 1.2 and the capital accounting rules set forth in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Income Tax Regulations, as the same may be amended from time to time (“Income Tax Regulations”). The Company shall make all adjustments required by said Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), including the adjustments contained in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Income Tax Regulations (relating to “Section 704(c) Property”, as defined in Section 2.3B(1) of this Exhibit). In the event that at any time during the term of the Company it shall be determined that the Book Capital Accounts shall not have been maintained as required by this Section 1.2, then said accounts shall be retroactively adjusted so that the same shall conform to this Section 1.2.

A. Initial Book Basis of Property of the Company. As used herein, “Book Basis” of an item of property of the Company means the adjusted basis of such item as reflected in the books of the Company, determined and maintained in accordance with the capital accounting rules contained in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Income Tax Regulations.

B. Initial Book Capital Accounts. Prior to the transaction described in Recital “D” of the Agreement and Section 4.01(b) of the Agreement, the Company has been treated as a “partnership”, within the meaning of Section 301.7701-3 of the Income Tax Regulations, comprised of TPGA and the KC Members.

The Initial Book Capital Account of CNP Investor shall be equal to its total Capital Contribution under Section 4.01(c) of the Agreement, which the Members agree is the fair market value of CNP Investor’s contribution.

C. Optional Revaluations of Property of the Company. The Company will not make the election to revalue property of the Company permitted under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Income Tax Regulations except as determined by the Manager.

D. Determination of Book Items. Consistent with the provisions of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations: (1) “Book Depreciation” (which means the depreciation, depletion or amortization deduction or allowance that shall be allowable to the Company with respect to an item of property of the Company, determined in the manner hereinafter set forth) for each item of property of the Company shall be the amount that bears the same relationship to the “Adjusted Book Basis” (which means, with respect to an item of property of the Company, the Book Basis of such item as the same may be adjusted from time to time by Book Depreciation allowable with respect to such item of property of the Company) of such item of property of the Company as the Tax Depreciation (as defined in Section 2.3A of this Exhibit) with respect to such item of property of the Company for such year bears to the “adjusted basis” (within the meaning of Section 1011(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended [the “Code”]) of such item of property of the Company; and (2) “Book Gain or Loss” shall be the gain or loss recognized by the Company from the sale or other disposition of property of the Company (such gain or loss determined by reference to the Adjusted Book Basis, and not the adjusted tax basis, of such property to the Company). If an item of property of the Company shall have an “adjusted basis” (as defined in the preceding sentence) equal to zero, Book Depreciation shall be determined under a reasonable method, which method shall be selected by the Manager.

E. Book Adjustments on Distributions. With respect to all distributions of property of the Company to the Members, the Company shall comply with the provisions contained in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) of the Income Tax Regulations (relating to adjustments to the Members’ Book Capital Accounts in connection with such distributions) and all allocations and adjustments made in connection therewith shall be in accordance with Article II of this Exhibit.

F. Purpose of Book Capital Accounts. Book Capital Accounts shall not govern distributions by the Company to the Members, it being the understanding that Book Capital Accounts shall be maintained solely to assist the Company in allocating items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit among the Members for Federal and applicable state income tax purposes. The provisions of this Exhibit are intended to effect an allocation of tax items of the Company that are in accordance with the Members’ “interests in the partnership” (i.e., the Company) within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations by utilizing the principles of allocation contained in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) of the Income Tax Regulations and Section 1.704-2 of the Income Tax Regulations with respect to maintenance of capital accounts and allocations, and shall be interpreted and applied accordingly.

B. Tax Gain or Loss. The gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes from the sale or other disposition of property of the Company (“Tax Gain or Loss”) for each Fiscal Year of the Company shall be allocated to the Members as provided in this Section 2.3.

The Members agree that the tax effects of any special basis adjustment that is not included in the calculation of tax gain or loss in accordance with clause (2) of the preceding sentence shall be separately reflected in calculating the tax gain or loss of the Member or Members to whom such special basis adjustment relates.

(1) In General. In the case of “Section 704(c) Property” (as hereinafter defined), Tax Gain or Loss (as the case may be) shall be allocated in accordance with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder and such other provisions of the Code as govern the treatment of Section 704(c) Property, as determined by the Manager. Any gain or loss in excess of the amount allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence (or, in the case of property which is not Section 704(c) Property, all Tax Gain or Loss) shall be allocated among all the Members in the same ratio that the book gain or loss with respect to such property is allocated in accordance with this Article II; provided, however, in the event that there is no book gain or loss, then any Tax Gain or Loss in excess of the amount allocated pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 1.704-1(b)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations. As used herein, “Section 704(c) Property” means (i) each item of property of the Company which is contributed to the Company and to which Section 704(c) of the Code or Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d) of the Income Tax Regulations applies, and (ii) each item of property of the Company which, as contemplated by Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) and other analogous provisions of the Income Tax Regulations, is governed by the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code (or principles analogous to the principles contained in Section 704(c) of the Code) by virtue of (a) an increase or decrease in the Book Capital Accounts of the Members to reflect a revaluation of property of the Company on the Company’s books as provided by Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Income Tax Regulations,

(b) the fact that it constitutes a receivable, account payable, or other accrued but unpaid item which, under principles analogous to those applying to an item of property of the Company having an adjusted tax basis that differs from its Book Basis, is treated as an item of property described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations, or (c) any other provision of the Code or the Income Tax Regulations (including Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Income Tax Regulations) as the same may from time to time be construed, to the extent that, and for so long as, such item of property of the Company continues to be governed by the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code (or principles analogous to the principles contained in Section 704(c) of the Code).

(2) Recapture Income. If, in the event of a gain on any sale, exchange or other disposition of property of the Company, all or a portion of such gain is characterized as ordinary income (“Recapture”) by virtue of the recapture rules of Section 1250 of the Code, Section 1245 of the Code or otherwise, then the Recapture shall be allocated between or among the Members in the same ratio that Tax Depreciation allowable with respect to such property of the Company had been allocated between or among them; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall there be allocated to any Member Recapture in excess of the gain allocated to such Member under subsection B of this Section above (and such excess shall be allocated instead between or among the Members as to which this proviso does not apply, in proportion to the gain allocated between or among them).

(3) Other Items Relating to Section 704(c) Property. Any item of income, gain, loss or deduction relating to an item of Section 704(c) Property shall be allocated in accordance with the requirements of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder and such other provisions of the Code as govern the treatment of Section 704(c) Property and the related book item shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Income Tax Regulations promulgated under Section 704(b) of the Code, as determined by the Manager.

If the limitation contained in the preceding sentence would apply to cause an item of loss or deduction to be unavailable for allocation to any Member, then such item of loss or deduction shall be allocated to the Member(s) who will not be subject to this limitation to the extent possible until such Member(s) become subject to this limitation. Any remaining amount of loss or deduction shall be allocated to the Members in proportion to their then respective Percentage Interests.

(2) Member Nonrecourse Deductions.

If more than one Member bears such Economic Risk of Loss, such Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated between or among such Members in accordance with the ratios in which they share such Economic Risk of Loss. If more than one Member bears such Economic Risk of Loss for different portions of a Member Nonrecourse Debt, each such portion shall be treated as a separate Member Nonrecourse Debt.

B. Minimum Gain Chargebacks.

(1) Company Minimum Gain. Except to the extent provided in Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5) of the Income Tax Regulations, if there is, for any Fiscal Year of the Company, a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain, there shall be allocated to each Member, before any other allocation pursuant to this Article II is made under Section 704(b) of the Code of Company items for such Fiscal Year, items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain. A Member’s share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is the amount of such total net decrease multiplied by the Member’s percentage share of the Company’s minimum gain at the end of the immediately preceding taxable year, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(g)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations. Items of income and gain to be allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4B(1) shall consist first of gains recognized from the disposition of items of property of the Company subject to one or more Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company, and then of a pro rata portion of the other items of Company income and gain for that year.

(2) Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Except to the extent provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations, if there is, for any Fiscal Year of the Company, a net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, there shall be allocated to each Member that has a share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain at the beginning of such Fiscal Year before any other allocation pursuant to this Article II (other than an allocation required pursuant to Section 2.4B(1) of this Exhibit) is made under Section 704(b) of the Code of Company items for such Fiscal Year, items of income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt

Minimum Gain. The determination of a Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be made in a manner consistent with the principles contained in Section 1.704-2(g)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations. The determination of which items of income and gain to be allocated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4B(2) shall be made in a manner that is consistent with the principles contained in Section 1.704-2(f)(6) of the Income Tax Regulations.

C. Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Exhibit: (i) “Company Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(b)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations; (ii) “Member Nonrecourse Debt” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Income Tax Regulations; (iii) “Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(i)(2) of the Income Tax Regulations; (iv) “Nonrecourse Liability” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(b)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations; (v) “Adjusted Book Capital Account” means the Book Capital Account of a Member reduced by any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Income Tax Regulations; (vi) “Economic Risk of Loss” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.752-2(b) through (l) of the Income Tax Regulations; (vii) “Nonrecourse Deductions” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 1.704-2(b)(1) of the Income Tax Regulations; and (viii) notwithstanding Section 7.04 of the Agreement, “Fiscal Year” shall mean the taxable year of the Company within the meaning of Section 441 of the Code, and as such taxable year is otherwise required by Section 706 of the Code.

Section 2.5 Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Exhibit, in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5), or (6) of the Income Tax Regulations, there shall be specially allocated to such Member such items of Company income and gain, at such times and in such amounts as will eliminate as quickly as possible the deficit balance (if any) in its Book Capital Account (in excess of the sum of such Member’s share of Member Minimum Gain and such Member’s share of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain) created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions. To the extent permitted by the Code and the Income Tax Regulations, any special allocations of items of income or gain pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations of Profits or Losses pursuant to this Article II, so that the net amount of any items so allocated and the subsequent Profits or Losses allocated to the Members pursuant to this Article II shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amounts that would have been allocated to each such Member pursuant to the provisions of this Article II if such unexpected adjustments, allocations or distributions had not occurred.

Section 2.6 Members’ Interests in Company Profits for Purposes of Section 752. As permitted by Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Income Tax Regulations, the Members hereby specify that solely for purposes of determining their respective shares of excess Nonrecourse Liabilities of the Company, the Members’ respective shares of Company profits shall be their then respective Percentage Interests.

For each Fiscal Year of the Company, before any allocations of Profits or Losses shall be made to the Members pursuant to Section 2.1, the following special allocation shall first be made: Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to their then respective Percentage Interests.

Section 2.8 Curative Allocations. The special allocations in Sections 2.4A(2), 2.4B, 2.5 and 2.7 of this Exhibit (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Income Tax Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. The Regulatory Allocations may effect results which would be inconsistent with the allocations set forth in Section 2.1 above. It is the intent of the Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory Allocations shall be offset by other Regulatory Allocations or special allocations of other items of income, gain, loss and deduction pursuant to this Section 2.8. The Manager (based on the advice of the Company’s auditors or tax counsel) shall make appropriate special curative allocations of items of income, gain, loss and deduction so that, after such offsetting allocations shall have been made, each Member’s Book Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Book Capital Account balance such Member would have had if the distortions resulting from any required Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. In exercising discretion under this Section 2.8, the Manager shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 2.4B and 2.5 of this Exhibit that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other allocations previously made under Sections 2.4A(2), 2.5 and 2.7 of this Exhibit.

Section 2.9 Special Provisions Related to COD Income.

A. Allocation of COD Income. Any income or gain (including, without limitation, any cancellation of indebtedness (“COD”) income) recognized by the Company and resulting from the contribution transaction described in the Recital “D” to the Agreement and/or Section 4.01(b) of the Agreement shall be treated for income tax purposes as resulting and being recognized immediately prior to the date of such transaction and shall be allocated solely and entirely to the Members of the Company as it was comprised immediately prior to that date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no such income or gain shall under any circumstance be allocated to CNP Investor. In addition, under no circumstance shall any COD income arising from the purchase of the Mezzanine Loans described in Recital C of the Sixth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of TPG/CalSTRS, LLC be allocated to CNP Investor.

B. Election Under Section 108(i) of the Code. The Members recognize and agree that the transactions described in Recital C of the Sixth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of TPG/CalSTRS, LLC (the “Sixth Amendment”) will result in the recognition of COD income by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 108(e)(4) of the Code (“Anticipated COD Income”). The Members further agree that any Anticipated COD Income will be handled in accordance with Section 4 of the Sixth Amendment.

ARTICLE III

WITHHOLDING MATTERS

The Members shall comply with the requirements contained in the Code and comparable tax laws of any state in which the Company is engaged in business regarding tax withholding on income that is allocated to, or distributions made to, Members who are non-U.S. persons and/or nonresidents of a particular state or jurisdiction (the “Member Withholding Law”). The Manager is hereby authorized and directed by each Member to withhold from the distributions or other amounts payable to such Member under the Agreement such amount or amounts (“Required Member Withholding”) as it reasonably determines is required by the Member Withholding Law, and to remit the Required Member Withholding to the Internal Revenue Service and/or such other applicable state taxing agency at such time or times as may from time to time be required by the relevant taxing authority. If the Manager determines at any time that the Required Member Withholding with respect to a particular Member exceeds the amount of distributions or other amounts payable to such Member at such time (a “Cash Shortfall”), the Member in question shall immediately make a cash contribution to the Company equal to the amount of such Cash Shortfall, which the Manager shall use to effectuate the Required Member Withholding. The amount of the Cash Shortfall so contributed shall not be treated as a capital contribution for purposes of the Agreement and the associated remittance to the taxing authority shall not be treated as a distribution for purposes of the Agreement. When remitting the Required Member Withholding, the Manager shall inform the relevant taxing authority of the name and tax identification number of the Member for whose account such Required Member Withholding is being made.

ARTICLE IV

LIQUIDATING DISTRIBUTIONS; NO DEFICIT FUNDING OBLIGATION

Upon liquidation of the assets of the Company, the net proceeds of such liquidation shall be applied as set forth in Section 6.01 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Exhibit or in the Agreement, no Member having a negative balance in its Book Capital Account shall have any obligation to the Company or to any other Member to restore its Book Capital Account to zero.

ARTICLE V

ORDER OF APPLICATION

For purposes of this Exhibit, the following provisions set forth in the Agreement and this Exhibit shall be applied in the following order:

A. Sections 6.01 and 9.02 of the Agreement relating to distributions.

B. Section 2.4A(1) of this Exhibit relating to general limitations.

C. Section 2.4A(2) of this Exhibit relating to Member Nonrecourse Deductions.

D. Section 2.4B(1) of this Exhibit relating to chargebacks of Company Minimum Gain.

E. Section 2.4B(2) of this Exhibit relating to chargebacks of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.

F. Section 2.5 of this Exhibit relating to Qualified Income Offset.

G. Section 2.7 of this Exhibit relating to Special Allocations.

H. Sections 2.1 and 2.8 of this Exhibit relating to, respectively, allocations of Profits and Losses and Curative Allocations shall be applied at the same time.

These provisions shall be applied as if all contributions, distributions and allocations with respect to a given Fiscal Year were made at the end of the Company’s Fiscal Year. Where any provision depends on the Book Capital Account of any Member, such Book Capital Account shall be determined after the application of all preceding provisions for the year.

ARTICLE VI

CLOSING OF COMPANY BOOKS IN CONNECTION WITH ADMISSION OF NEW

MEMBER OR TRANSFER OF MEMBER’S INTEREST

Upon the effective date (the “Transfer Effective Date”) of the admission of a new Member into the Company or of a valid transfer of all or part of a Member’s interest in the Company pursuant to the Agreement, the books of the Company shall be closed in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, and consistent therewith: (X) items of income, deduction, gain, loss and/or credit of the Company that are recognized prior to the Transfer Effective Date shall be allocated among those persons or entities who were Members in the Company prior to the Transfer Effective Date; and (Y) items of income, deduction, gain, loss and/or credit of the Company that are recognized after the Transfer Effective Date shall be allocated among the persons or entities who were Members after the Transfer Effective Date.

ARTICLE VII

TAX MATTERS MEMBER

TPGA shall initially be the “tax matters partner” of the Company as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of Code (the “Tax Matters Member”) and it shall serve as such with all powers granted to a tax matters partner under the Code as may be limited by the Agreement and this Exhibit. Each Member shall give prompt notice to each other Member of any and all notices it receives from the Internal Revenue Service, or any relevant state or local taxing authority, concerning the Company, including any notice of audit, any notice of action with respect to a revenue agent’s report, any notice of a 30-day appeal letter and any notice of a deficiency in tax concerning the Company’s Federal income tax return, or any relevant state or local income tax return. The Tax Matters Member shall furnish each Member with status reports regarding any negotiation between any taxing authority (Federal, state or local) and the Company. The Tax Matters Member shall not enter into any settlement with any taxing authority (Federal, state or local), or extend the statute of limitations, on behalf of the Company or the Members without the approval of the Majority of Members, except as may otherwise be provided in the Agreement. This provision shall survive any termination of the Agreement.

Such statements shall be submitted to, and shall be subject to the review and approval of, TPGA and CNP Investor. CNP Investor shall be entitled to submit such statements to CNP Investor’s own consultants and/or accountants for review and approval. The costs of such review by CNP Investor’s consultants and/or accountants, and the costs of any revisions or supplements to such statements or additional reviews or audits made by the Company’s accountants as required by CNP Investor’s consultants and/or accountants, shall be Company expenses. The Manager shall use diligent efforts to cause the Company’s accountants to comply with the requests and requirements of CNP Investor’s consultants and/or accountants. If so requested, the Manager shall use diligent efforts to cause the Company’s accountants to prepare the final audited financial statements of the Company within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company. The audited financial statements shall include a balance sheet, an income statement, statements of cash flow, a statement of sources and applications of funds, statement of member’s capital and such other statements and reports as CNP Investor may reasonably request, in form satisfactory to CNP Investor and CNP Investor’s accountants.

1.04 Other Reports.

CERTAIN MANAGEMENT PROVISIONS

1.01 No Meetings. No meetings of the Members shall be required.

1.10 Execution of Documents. All contracts, agreements and other documents or instruments affecting or relating to the business and affairs of the Company may be executed on the Company’s behalf by the Manager; provided however, that the Manager may delegate in writing such authority to such authorized person(s) as may be designated by the Manager.

1.11 Delegation and Officers. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Manager from delegating responsibility for any of the Manager’s decisions to any Member, officer, or other representative or agent of the Company. The Manager may, from time to time, designate officers of the Company, may assign titles (including, without limitation, chief executive officer, president, vice-president, secretary and/or treasurer) to any such officer, and may, subject to the duties and authority conferred upon Manager pursuant to this Agreement, delegate to such officers such authority and duties as the Manager may deem advisable. Unless the Manager otherwise determines, if the title assigned to an officer of the Company is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed under the Delaware General Corporation Law, then the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are customarily associated with such office pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law. Any number of titles may be held by the same officer. Any officer to whom a delegation is made shall serve in the capacity delegated unless and until such delegation is revoked by the Manager for any reason or no reason whatsoever, with or without cause, or such officer resigns.
