It is intended that this Section 6.4(a)(i) qualify and be construed as a "minimum gain chargeback" and a "chargeback of partner Member nonrecourse debt minimum gain" within the meaning of such
33.
125165.12
Regulations, which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulations and this Section 6.4(a)(i).
(ii)
Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Member(s) who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such deductions are attributable.
(iii)
If any Member unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulation, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible. It is intended that this Section 6.4(a)(iii) qualify and be construed as a "qualified income offset" within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 6.4(a)(iii).
(b)
The allocations set forth in Section 6.3 and Sections 6.4(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 and 6.2, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.
(c)
In the event that the Code or any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder require allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit different from those set forth in this Agreement, upon the advice of the Company's counsel or accountants, the Managers are hereby authorized to make new allocations in reliance upon the Code, the Treasury Regulations and such advice of the Company's counsel or accountants, such new allocations shall be deemed to be made pursuant to the fiduciary obligation of the Managers to the Company and the Members, and no such new allocation shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by any Members.
(d)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to property contributed to the Company by a Member shall be allocated among the Members, pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c), so as to take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company and its initial Gross Asset Value (computed in accordance with Section 1.20). In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted pursuant to Section 1.20(b), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the
34.
125165.12
applicable Regulations, consistent with the requirements of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) of the Regulations. Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) shall be made by the Managers in any manner, in the Managers' discretion, that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Profits, Losses, other tax items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Section 10.2
Dissolving Events. The Company shall be dissolved upon the earlier to occur of one of the following events:
(a)
the first occurrence of any event set forth in Section 9.2; provided, however, that, within sixty (60) days after such event, the Members (A) may elect in their sole and absolute discretion to continue the Company;

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent permitted by applicable law, a Bankruptcy Event respecting the Company shall not cause a dissolution of the Company.
Section 10.3

(a)
Upon the dissolution of the Company pursuant to Sections 10.2(a) through (d), the Company shall thereafter engage in no further business other than that which is necessary to wind up the business, and the Managers shall liquidate all or a portion of the Project and any other Company assets and distribute the cash proceeds therefrom, and any other assets of the Company.

(b)
The Members shall have finally approved and, as necessary based upon such mutual approval, attached or updated in writing the following Exhibits to this Agreement (which Exhibits, to the extent updated in connection with such mutual approval, shall supersede the corresponding preliminary Exhibits attached hereto, and all of which Exhibits shall be deemed incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement in lieu thereof as fully as if appended directly hereto): Exhibit "C" (Development Budget), Exhibit "D" (Proforma), Exhibit "L" (List of Material Documents), Exhibit "M" (Modifications to Material Documents) and Exhibit "N" (Project Rights and Burdens).

Vlass Member and the City shall have executed and delivered a second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the Developer's Agreement in form and substance mutually acceptable to both Members addressing the matters reflected in Schedule 1 attached to the letter to the City attached hereto as Exhibit "I" and by this reference made a part hereof (the ("City Letter"; with the foregoing condition regarding the City Letter being herein the "MDA Condition"). Without limitation, the Second Amendment must segregate the Area A – Phase I Redevelopment Obligations to the sole satisfaction of Inland Member;
(d)
The representations and warranties of each Member set forth in Sections 12.2 and 12.3 below shall be true and correct as of the Effective Date in all material respects, or any such representation that is not true and correct shall have been disclosed to the other Member in writing and the other Member shall have waived such representation and/or warranty in writing (the foregoing condition being the "Representations Condition");

The Members have mutually approved the form "REOA" to be impressed upon the Developer's Property in accordance with the Developer's Agreement and the form approved by the City by virtue of the Second Amendment (the "REOA Condition"); and

The Members shall have until May 1, 2010 (the "Conditions Deadline"), to determine that the Conditions have been satisfied or waived; provided that (i) the Inspection Condition may
42.
125165.12
be waived by Inland Member unilaterally and the Schedules Condition, MDA Condition and REOA Condition shall be considered waived only if both Inland Member and Vlass Member mutually agree to such waiver. The Representations Condition exists for the benefit of each Member, and shall have failed for each such Member only if representations by the other Member shall not be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date (or waived by the Member benefited by such representations in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.4 below). Except in cases of failure to give timely notice of termination as provided below, any waiver of a Condition by either Member must be in writing to be effective. The parties agree to act reasonably and in good faith in connection with their respective efforts to satisfy the Conditions, and each Member will give prompt notice to the other Member upon any determination that a Condition in the notifying Member's favor has been satisfied or waived. If the Representations Condition in favor of Inland Member shall have failed or either of the Inspection Condition, Schedules Condition, MDA Condition or REOA Condition shall not have been satisfied or waived by Inland Member by the Conditions Deadline, then Inland Member may terminate this Agreement by notice to Vlass Member given at any time on or before the Conditions Deadline. If the Representations Condition in favor of Vlass Member shall have failed or either the Schedules Condition, MDA Condition or REOA Condition shall not have been satisfied or waived by Vlass Member by the Conditions Deadline, then Vlass Member may terminate this Agreement by notice to Inland Member given at any time on or before the Conditions Deadline. Upon timely notice of termination by either Member pursuant to the terms hereof, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, the parties shall be relieved of any and all liability or obligation each to the other hereunder, except that the Members will take actions as necessary to dissolve the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Failure by either Member to give notice of termination in accordance with the provisions hereof on or before the Conditions Deadline shall be deemed waiver of any Condition yet outstanding by such Member.

Section 14.1
Good Faith Negotiation.

If the Dispute cannot be resolved by negotiation within ten (10) business days of the first Member's request to the other Members for such negotiation, then the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation before the parties resort to arbitration or litigation.
Section 14.2.
Mediation. If mediation is required to settle a Dispute pursuant to Section 14.1, then any Member may initiate same upon notice to the other Members after negotiation pursuant to Section 14.1 has failed.

The Members shall share equally the costs and expenses of the mediator.
Section 14.3.
Other Actions or Proceedings. In the unlikely event that mediation fails to resolve a Dispute, then any Member may seek to initiate such action or proceeding as such Member deems appropriate in order to resolve such Dispute, but no Member shall be required to participate in any arbitration proceeding without such party's consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Dispute arises from the Managers' inability to reach a unanimous decision, or the Members' inability to reach a unanimous vote, on any matter for which a unanimous vote or decision is required by this Agreement (any such particular Dispute being hereinafter called a "Deadlock"), and if the Deadlock is not resolved by mediation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.2 above, then in such case such Deadlock shall be

The Members, for themselves and the Managers, hereby expressly agree the provisions of this Section 14.3 regarding a Deadlock constitute a valid agreement to arbitrate. The Members and Managers hereby acknowledge that by agreeing to binding arbitration as provided herein they have irrevocably waived any right they may have to jury trial with regard to a Deadlock.
