OPERATING AGREEMENT
OF
TPG/CALSTRS AUSTIN, LLC

THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT OF TPG/CALSTRS AUSTIN, LLC (the “Company”), is dated as of September 17, 2012, and made by and between CALIFORNIA STATE TEACHERS’ RETIREMENT SYSTEM, a public entity (“Investor”), and TPG AUSTIN PARTNER, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Operator”). The capitalized terms used in this Agreement, including without limitation any schedules, appendices and exhibits to this Agreement, and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings given to such terms in Exhibit A or Exhibit B.

ARTICLE I.
FORMATION

1.01    Formation. The Company has been formed as a Delaware limited liability company pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Act. The Company shall be operated in accordance with, and the Members shall be governed by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with any term of the Delaware Act that is not mandatory, then this Agreement shall control. In connection with the formation of the Company, the Manager shall cause to be filed with the office of the Delaware Secretary of State a duly executed Certificate of Formation for the Company in accordance with the Delaware Act. The Manager shall also cause to be executed, acknowledged and/or verified such other documents and/or instruments as may be necessary and/or appropriate in order to form the Company under the Delaware Act and/or to continue its existence in accordance with the provisions of the Delaware Act and/or to register, qualify to do business and/or operate its business as a foreign limited liability company in any other state in which the Company conducts business.
1.02    Names and Addresses. The name of the Company is “TPG/CalSTRS Austin, LLC”. The registered office of the Company in the State of Delaware shall be at 1209 Orange Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. The name and address of the registered agent for the Company in the State of Delaware shall be CT Corporation System. For so long as Operator is the Manager, the principal office for the Company shall be maintained at 515 South Flower Street, 6th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90071 or such other location at which Operator maintains an office and thereafter at such other place(s) as the Management Committee may designate from time to time. Copies of any material notices or other matters received by the Company shall be promptly delivered by the Manager to the Members.

1.03    Nature of Business. The principal purposes for which the Company is to exist are (a) to enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the direct or indirect acquisition of, and thereafter the ownership, renovation, management, financing, leasing, operation and maintenance of those certain eight (8) office projects located in the City of Austin, Texas which are described on Exhibit M-1 (each a “Project” and collectively the “Projects”); (b) to hold the Projects for investment purposes until their ultimate disposition; and (c) to conduct such other activities with respect to, and otherwise realize and optimize the economic return from, the Projects and any related assets the Company may hereinafter acquire as are appropriate to

- 1 -



carrying out the foregoing purposes. A Project may be owned entirely by the Company or may be owned by a partnership or limited liability company in which the Company is a partner or member (each a “Project Partnership”); provided, however, that the Company shall not become a partner or member of a Project Partnership without the prior approval of the Management Committee. When a Project is owned by a Project Partnership, the term “Project” shall include not only the underlying real estate and related assets, but also all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to the Project Partnership.

1.04    Title Holding Subsidiaries. Title to each Project will be held by a separate, single purpose, limited liability company which is wholly owned by, and whose only member and manager is, directly or indirectly, the Company (each such direct or indirect subsidiary, a “Title Holding Subsidiary”). It shall be the Manager’s duty and responsibility to duly form and maintain each Title Holding Subsidiary and cause each Title Holding Subsidiary to be and remain in good standing in its state of organization and qualified to do business in the State of Texas, to obtain appropriate employer and/or tax identification numbers (to the extent required) for the Title Holding Subsidiary, and the like. The Manager’s and Investor’s duties, responsibilities and authority with respect to each Title Holding Subsidiary shall be identical to Manager’s or Investor’s duties, responsibilities and authority with respect to the Company set forth in this Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement giving the Manager the authority to take any action or refrain from taking any action, or cause the Company to take any action or refrain from taking any action, shall be interpreted to give the Manager the identical authority with respect to the appropriate Title Holding Subsidiary. Any provision of this Agreement imposing any duty or responsibility on the Manager or on Investor, or limiting Manager’s or Investor’s authority, with respect to the Company shall be interpreted to impose the identical duty, responsibility or limitation on Manager or Investor with respect to the applicable Title Holding Subsidiary. Each Title Holding Subsidiary shall be deemed to be an extension of the Company for purposes of determining the rights, duties and obligations of the Members, including without limitation the contribution of capital and the receipt of distributions and allocations under this Agreement. The operating agreement for each Title Holding Subsidiary shall be in a form approved by the Management Committee. The initial ownership structure of the Projects through Title Holding Subsidiaries will be as set forth on the ownership chart attached hereto as Exhibit M-2, and the operating agreement of each such initial Title Holding Subsidiary has been approved by the Management Committee.

1.05    Term of Company. The term of the Company shall commence on the date the Certificate of Formation for the Company is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State and shall continue until December 31, 2032, unless extended by mutual agreement of the Members or otherwise dissolved pursuant to Article IX. The existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall continue until the cancellation of the Company’s Certificate of Formation.

1.06    Limited Liability. Except as otherwise required hereunder or pursuant to any non-waivable provision of the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, and the Members and Manager shall not be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or Manager of the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no third

- 2 -



party or any creditor of the Company, shall have any right to require the Manager to make a capital call or to enforce the obligations of the Members to contribute additional capital.

1.07    Broker’s Indemnity. Neither Member has had or will have any contact or dealings regarding this Agreement or the formation of the Company through any investment banker, broker or other person who can or could claim a right to any compensation in connection with this transaction. In the event that any investment banker, broker or other person claims any compensation in connection with this Agreement or the formation of the Company, the Member through whom the investment banker, broker or other person makes its claim 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 claim. The provisions of this Section shall survive the dissolution or other termination of the Company.

1.08    Relationship of Parties.
(a)    Advisor Agreement. TPG LP, an Affiliate of Operator, is also a real estate investment advisor to Investor pursuant to that certain Standard Contract No. 1998-137C dated November 15, 1999, as amended (the “Advisor Agreement”). The Advisor Agreement and this Agreement are two separate and independent agreements. Operator’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities to Investor, and Investor’s rights and remedies, under this Agreement and with respect to the Company (including without limitation Operator’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities in its capacity as the Manager) are separate from and independent of TPG LP’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities to Investor, and Investor’s rights and remedies, under the Advisor Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other document or agreement relating to the Company shall in any way waive, release, diminish or modify any of TPG LP’s duties, responsibilities or liabilities or Investor’s rights or remedies under or pursuant to the Advisor Agreement and nothing contained in the Advisor Agreement shall in any way waive, release, diminish or modify any of Operator’s duties, responsibilities or liabilities or Investor’s rights or remedies under or pursuant to this Agreement.

The TPG/CalSTRS Agreement and this Agreement are two separate and independent agreements. Each Member’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities to the other Member and each Member’s rights and remedies, under this Agreement and with respect to the Company (including without limitation Operator’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities in its capacity as the Manager) are separate from and independent of such Member’s or its Affiliate’s duties, responsibilities and liabilities, and rights and remedies, under the TPG/CalSTRS Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other document or agreement relating to the Company shall in any way waive, release, diminish or modify any of TPG LP’s or Investor’s duties, responsibilities or liabilities or rights or remedies under or pursuant to the TPG/CalSTRS Agreement and nothing contained in the TPG/CalSTRS Agreement shall in any way waive, release, diminish or modify any of Operator’s or Investor’s


- 3 -



duties, responsibilities or liabilities or rights or remedies under or pursuant to this Agreement. Properties acquired by TPG/CalSTRS, LLC pursuant to the TPG/CalSTRS Agreement shall be governed exclusively by the TPG/CalSTRS Agreement and the Projects shall be governed exclusively by this Agreement. The Company will acquire the Projects from a partnership in which a subsidiary of TPG/CalSTRS, LLC owns the general partner and is a limited partner.

Following any removal of Operator as the Manager, the Person (who may be, but need not be, a Member of the Company) selected by the Management Committee in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.04 shall serve as the replacement “Manager” of the Company.

(b)    Duty and Responsibility. The Manager shall have the duty, responsibility, power and authority to manage and administer the day-to-day business and affairs of the Company and the Projects in order to implement the Company Plans and the other decisions of the Management Committee. Without the further approval of the Management Committee, the Manager shall have the authority to cause the Company to acquire and sell assets, incur and/or retire debt, enter into agreements, undertake activities and incur costs and expenditures in compliance with, but only in compliance with, the then applicable Company Plans and the other provisions of this Agreement. The Manager shall regularly report to the Management Committee as to the status of and compliance with the Company Plans as well as the other business and affairs of the Company and the Projects. Operator acknowledges that it is a fiduciary under this Agreement, and as a fiduciary Operator shall discharge each of its duties, obligations and liabilities and exercise each of its powers and authority, including without limitation Operator’s duties, obligations, liabilities, powers and authority as Manager, with Due Care.


(c)        Authorized Actions and Expenditures. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as authorized or delegated in writing to the Manager by the Management Committee, and except for agreements, obligations, costs and expenditures necessary to implement, and in compliance with, the Company Plans, neither the Manager nor Investor shall commit or bind the Company, cause the Company to incur Company costs or liability, or make any expenditure of Company funds without the prior written approval of the Management Committee. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Manager may cause the Company to expend funds in excess of the then applicable Annual Budget or the applicable Project Budget (and require Additional Contributions to fund such expenditures if other Company funds are not available therefor) if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) such excess expenditure is on account of (1) uncontrollable and non-discretionary costs or expenses such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums, utility changes and emergency repairs or (2) Approved Environmental Costs; and (ii) the expenditure does not result in the then applicable Annual Budget or the applicable Project Budget being exceeded, in the aggregate with all other excess expenditures, by more than five percent (5%).

(d)    Indemnification by Manager.

- 6 -



arising from, or in connection with, any act or failure to act by the Manager which is a failure to exercise Due Care or is otherwise a Material Breach.

(e)        No Substitute Performance. Subject to Transfers permitted under the provisions of Section 8.01, the Members agree that (i) Operator’s role as Manager of the Company and the performance of such role in accordance with this Agreement is personal in nature; (ii) Investor is relying on the reputation of Operator and its personnel for knowledge, expertise, capabilities, reliability and integrity; and (iii) Investor is excused from accepting the performance as Manager of any Person other than Operator or a Permitted Transferee. The Members agree that the provisions of this Agreement relating to Operator’s responsibility as Manager and Operator’s compensation for such activities constitute a nonassignable contract under Section 365(c) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar Law. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be null and void. Further, in the event Operator is a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar Law and this Agreement has not been terminated, the Members agree that (iv) adequate protection of Investor’s interest in this Agreement requires that Operator timely comply with all of the terms of this Agreement; (v) the occurrence of a Buyout Default by the Operator cannot be cured under Section 365(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar Law; and (vi) upon the occurrence of a Buyout Default by the Operator, Investor shall be entitled to exercise its rights under Article X of this Agreement and, if required, the Operator consents to relief from the automatic stay of Section 362 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar Law to permit such exercise.

(f)        Reliance by Third Parties. The provisions of this Agreement govern the rights, duties, obligations, liabilities and remedies between the Investor, Operator and Manager and nothing contained in this Section 2.03(f) shall in any way waive, release or otherwise affect any of the rights, duties, obligations, liabilities or remedies of the Investor, Operator or Manager with respect to each other or the Company or in any way, as between the Investor, Operator and Manager, authorize any action or undertaking by the Manager, on behalf of the Company, any Title Holding Subsidiary or otherwise. Nevertheless, any third party not affiliated with the Manager may rely on the Manager’s execution of any document (in its capacity as manager of a Title Holding Subsidiary and/or as Manager of the Company, as the case may be) as conclusive evidence, as to such third party, that the execution and delivery of such document has been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Company (without the requirement for any further evidence of authority to any such third party) and that such document constitutes the legally binding obligation of the Company or the applicable Title Holding Subsidiary (as the case may be).

2.04    Removal of the Manager.

(a)        Removal. The Investor shall have the right to remove Operator as the Manager of the Company by delivering written notice (“Removal Notice”) thereof only following the delivery by Investor of a Buyout Notice to Operator pursuant to Section 10.02. If Operator is removed as the Manager of the Company, then, without limiting its rights to receive payments under this Agreement, Operator shall have no further rights or obligations as Manager under this Agreement, including without limitation under Section 2.03, and all further decisions or actions otherwise delegated to the Manager shall be taken by the Operator only with the prior approval of the Management Committee.

- 7 -



(b)    Generally. Any removal of Operator as Manager shall be effective upon the Effective Date of the Removal Notice (or such later time as may be provided in the Removal Notice). The costs of implementing a change of management pursuant to this Section (including without limitation the attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by Investor and any replacement Manager) shall be paid by Operator. Any such removal shall not constitute a release or waiver of any other right or remedy the Company or the Investor may have on account of any Event of Default giving rise to such removal.

(c)        Power of Attorney. Operator hereby grants to the Investor its irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an interest, to be exercised only when the removal of Operator as Manager is expressly authorized and being implemented pursuant to this Agreement, to take such acts and to execute such instruments as are necessary or appropriate to effectuate a prompt and smooth transition of the management of the Company from Operator to the replacement Manager.

2.05    Reimbursement and Compensation.

(a)        Fees Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or then applicable Annual Budget, no Representative, Member or any Constituent thereof shall receive any compensation for services rendered to or in connection with the Company or any Project or be reimbursed for general administrative or overhead expenses. Unless otherwise expressly approved by the Management Committee, an Officer appointed pursuant to Section 1.11 of Exhibit F shall not be entitled to any compensation for any services rendered in such capacity.

(b)    Organization Costs. Each Member shall pay its own costs and expenses (including without limitation legal fees and, if applicable, the fees of the Special Consultant) incurred by such Member in connection with the formation of the Company and the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and any of the TPG Services Agreements. However, each Member shall be reimbursed for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with the business and affairs of the Company to the extent provided for in the applicable Project Budget or then applicable Annual Budget.

(c)        Manager and TPG Services Fees. In consideration for its services as Manager hereunder, the Manager shall receive the fees payable to Manager set forth on Exhibit H, subject to amendment as provided in this Section. Any such fees payable to Manager or any Affiliate of Manager on account of such services are referred to herein as the “Manager Fees”. In addition, during the Holding Period for each Project, the Company and TPG Services are entering into a property management agreement (the “Property Management Agreement”) and a leasing services agreement (the “Leasing Agreement”), which may be contained in one or more agreements for each Project, providing for fees payable thereunder to TPG Services as set forth on Exhibit H, subject to amendment as provided in this Section, and otherwise each in form and content approved by the Management Committee. The Management Committee hereby approves the existing Property Management and Leasing Agreement for each Project in place between TPG-FP Services, LP and each of the existing owners of the Projects, which agreements shall be amended to (i) be assigned to TPG Services, (i) provide for fees payable thereunder to TPG Services as set forth on Exhibit H, subject to amendment as provided in this Section, (ii) for

Each Property Management Agreement and Leasing Agreement, together with any and all other agreements now or hereafter entered into between the Company and TPG Services are hereinafter individually and collectively referred to as the “TPG Services Agreements.” All fees, costs and expenses payable to TPG Services under the TPG Services Agreements are referred to herein as the “TPG Services Fees.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, at all times the Management Committee shall have the authority to periodically review the Manager Fees, the TPG Services Fees and all other terms and conditions of the TPG Services Agreements (other than the expiration dates, which shall not be earlier than the expiration dates set forth above) to determine whether the existing Manager Fees, TPG Services Fees and terms and conditions of the TPG Services Agreements are consistent with current market conditions in the Austin, Texas office market for similar owner/operators. If, in connection with any such review, the Management Committee determines that amendments to the Manager Fees, the TPG Services Fees and/or the TPG Services Agreements are necessary to conform with such current market conditions, the Manager and TPG Services shall enter into such amendments upon request of the Management Committee. Any proposed determination of the Management Committee regarding an amendment to the Manager Fees, the TPG Services Fees and/or the TPG Services Agreements on which a equal number of Representatives vote in favor of, and in opposition to, such proposed determination shall be deemed to be a Management Committee Deadlock.

(d)        Arranged Financing. If Investor, any of its Affiliates, or any of its advisors or consultants (other than Operator or any of its Affiliates) is responsible for providing any financing or refinancing for the Company or any Project, the Investor shall be paid a market rate commitment and/or loan fee by the Company. Likewise, if Operator or any of its Affiliates is responsible for providing any financing or refinancing for the Company or any Project, the Operator shall be paid a market rate commitment and/or loan fee by the Company. In addition, in the event the Investor or Operator provides any credit enhancement, including but not limited to any guaranty, indemnity, letter of credit, pledge, commitment or other arrangement, that enables the Company or any Project to obtain any financing or other extension of credit on terms more favorable than would otherwise be available, the Investor or Operator, as the case may be, shall be paid a market rate credit enhancement fee by the Company.

2.06    Employees and Consultants

(a)    No Employees. The Company shall not have employees. The Manager shall be solely responsible for all wages, benefits, insurance, payroll taxes and compliance with all applicable Laws with respect to any of its employees. The Manager shall, at any time and from time to time during the term of the Company, provide such information as the Investor shall reasonably request regarding the employees of the Manager who work on Company matters.

(b)    Special Consultants. Either Operator or Investor may, at its election, engage or cause the Company to engage the services of one or more Special Consultants to assist and to

- 9 -



advise the Company and/or Operator or Investor in connection with the Company’s business and affairs and/or Operator’s or Investor’s rights and duties with respect to the Company. Whether engaged by Operator or Investor or directly by the Company, the ongoing fees and expenses of the Special Consultants shall be Company expenses and shall be paid directly by the Company or reimbursed to Operator or Investor, as the case may be, by the Company if paid by Operator or Investor.

(c)    Attorneys. Either Member may, at its election, engage the services of legal counsel to assist and advise such Member in connection with the formation of the Company as well as the ongoing business and affairs of the Company and such Member’s rights, remedies and duties with respect to Company matters. If so requested, as an accommodation to such Member, the Company will pay the fees and expenses of such Member’s counsel on behalf of such Member directly to such Member’s counsel. Any such fees and expenses of such Member’s counsel paid by the Company that would not be reimbursable to such Member if paid directly by such Member pursuant to Section 2.05(b) shall be (i) deducted from amounts which would otherwise be distributed to such Member pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) deemed to have been distributed by the Company to such Member for all purposes of this Agreement. However, notwithstanding such payment arrangement, (1) such counsel shall be deemed to represent only such Member; (2) such counsel shall not be deemed to represent or have any duties to the Company, the other Member or any other Person; and (3) no attorney/client or other relationship will exist between such counsel and the Company, the other Member or any other Person.

2.07    Contracts with Affiliates

(a)    Generally. If the Company uses the personnel or resources of the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager, or otherwise contracts directly or indirectly with the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager, including without limitation TPG Services, for services or materials, such contracting, the making of any payment with respect thereto, and the making of any amendment, modification, waiver, termination, extension, rescission and/or assignment thereof, shall be subject to the Management Committee’s approval, among other things, that (i) the payment or compensation therefor is at competitive arm’s-length rates; (ii) such personnel are experienced and competent in the provision of the services for which they have been hired by the Company; (iii) such materials are comparable in quality, type, size, and specifications as would be obtained in a competitive arm’s-length transaction; (iv) such contract is terminable by the Company without cause at any time Operator, for any reason, ceases to be the “Manager”; and (v) the terms of the contract are comparable to those that would be obtained in a competitive arm’s-length transaction. Whether or not such action is permitted under this Agreement, the applicable Project Plan or then applicable Annual Plan, the Investor acting alone shall have the right on behalf of the Company to send any notice of default or termination, to institute or settle legal proceedings and/or to take such other action as may be necessary or appropriate to enforce the rights and protect the interests of the Company pursuant to any agreement now or hereafter entered into between the Company and the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager or with respect to any other rights or remedies of the Company running against or in connection with the Manager or Affiliate of the Manager, including without limitation TPG Services.


- 10 -



(b)    Manager Affiliates. Subject to Management Committee approval, the Manager may enter into contracts with one or more Affiliates of the Manager to perform some or all of the activities and services that are the Manager’s duty and responsibility under this Agreement, and the Manager may assign all or any portion of any Manager Fees payable to the Manager to any Affiliate of the Manager in connection therewith. To the extent any Affiliate of the Manager performs any activities or services for the Company stated in this Agreement (or in any agreement between the Manager and the Company) to be the duty or responsibility of, or as activities or services being provided by, the Manager, such shall be at no additional cost or expense to the Company (other than the Manager Fees) and no such contracting, subcontracting or delegation by the Manager shall relieve the Manager of the ultimate duty, responsibility and liability for the performance of the Manager’s duties and responsibilities under this Agreement.

(c)        Limitation on Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any contract between the Company and any third party, including without limitation any contract between the Company and any Affiliate of the Manager, the Manager may exercise any right or authority reserved to the Company under such contracts only to the extent, and subject to the limitations, that such right or authority is expressly delegated to the Manager under this Agreement.

2.08    Insurance. Manager shall purchase and maintain, or cause to be purchased and maintained, on behalf and at the expense of the Company, policies of insurance (1) for the Company’s operations, (2) for the protection of the Company’s assets, and (3) as may be reasonably required to comply with third-party requirements. The initial insurance coverages to be maintained by the Manager are set forth on Exhibit L. Annually, in connection with the preparation and approval of the Annual Plan for the ensuing fiscal year, the Manager shall review and recommend any appropriate revisions to the insurance coverages set forth on Exhibit L. The Manager may also engage, at the Company’s expense, an insurance consultant approved by the Management Committee to review and recommend any appropriate revisions to such coverages. Upon reviewing such recommendations, the Management Committee shall review and approve any revisions to said Exhibit L which the Management Committee deems necessary or appropriate.

2.09    Liability and Indemnity.

(a)        Limitation on Liability. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Members, the Representatives, 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, Representative 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, Representative 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.

- 11 -



(c)        Costs of Defense. From time to time, as requested by an indemnitee, Costs of Litigation will, if reasonably approved by the Management Committee (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 the Management Committee, to repay such amounts if it shall be determined that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

(d)    Funding of Indemnity. Any indemnification provided hereunder shall be satisfied first out of assets of the Company as an expense of the Company. In the event the assets of the Company are insufficient to satisfy the Company’s indemnification obligations, the Members shall make Additional Contributions pursuant to Section 4.03(b) to satisfy all or any portion of the indemnification obligations of the Company pursuant to this Section. To the extent a Member fails to contribute Additional Contributions as required by this Section, such shall constitute a Material Breach by such Member and, without waiving or releasing any other right or remedy on account of such Material Breach, the Non-Defaulting Member may, but shall not be required to, advance the Defaulting Member’s share of such Additional Contributions on the Defaulting Member’s behalf. Should the Non-Defaulting Member so advance any funds on the Defaulting Member’s behalf at any time, the amount so advanced shall be deemed a Shortfall Amount and the Non-Defaulting Member shall have the rights and remedies with respect thereto set forth in Section 4.06.

(e)        Survival. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the dissolution of the Company and any cancellation of the Company’s Certificate of Formation.

ARTICLE III.
BUSINESS PLAN

3.01    Annual Plan. The Company shall have an Annual Business Plan and an Annual Budget, as hereinafter provided. Together, the Annual Business Plan and the Annual Budget shall be referred to as the “Annual Plan”.

(a)        Annual Business Plan and Budget. On or before forty-five (45) days prior to the commencement of each fiscal year of the Company, the Manager shall prepare and submit to the Management Committee for its review and approval for the Company for the ensuing fiscal year, (i) an annual business plan (as from time to time amended in compliance with this Agreement, the “Annual Business Plan”); and (ii) an annual budget (as from time to time amended in compliance with this Agreement, the “Annual Budget”), each in compliance with Exhibit G. Prior to January 1, 2013, the Company will operate under the existing Annual Business Plan and Annual Budget being used by TPG-Austin Portfolio Syndication Partners, LP, which has been approved by the Management Committee. Upon request of the Management Committee, or as otherwise deemed appropriate by the Manager, the Manager shall prepare and submit to the Management Committee for its review and approval supplements and/or amendments to the Annual Plan. The Annual Plan may be supplemented and amended from time to time only by the Management Committee. Anything contained in this Agreement, any

- 12 -



Annual Plan or any amendment to an Annual Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between the Annual Plan or any amendment thereto and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless such inconsistency or conflict was expressly identified in such Annual Plan or amendment as being inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement and such Annual Plan or amendment nevertheless received the approval of the Management Committee, in which case the provisions of the Annual Plan shall control.

(b)    Failure to Adopt. Unless and until the Management Committee adopts a new Annual Plan for an ensuing fiscal year of the Company, the then most recent Annual Plan adopted by the Management Committee shall continue as the Annual Plan for such ensuing fiscal year; provided, however, that such existing Annual Plan will automatically be adjusted for such ensuing fiscal year to (i) properly account for changes in non-discretionary expenditures such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums, utility charges and emergency repair costs; (ii) limit capital expenditures to only such capital expenditures which are already provided for in such existing Annual Plan or in a previously existing Project Plan but which have not yet been expended; and (iii) exclude any and all provisions for Additional Contributions (other than as expressly provided in the prior two (2) clauses).

3.02    Project Plans. The Annual Plan will include for each Project a Project Business Plan and a Project Budget, as hereinafter provided, for each Project. Together, the Project Business Plan and the Project Budget for a Project shall be referred to as the “Project Plan” for that Project. As part of the initial Annual Plan, the Manager shall prepare and submit to the Management Committee (i) a business plan for each Project (as from time to time amended in compliance with this Agreement, the “Project Business Plan”); and (ii) a budget for each Project (as from time to time amended in compliance with this Agreement, the “Project Budget”), each in compliance with Exhibit G. Prior to January 1, 2013, the Company will operate under the existing Project Business Plan and Project Budget for each Project being used by TPG-Austin Portfolio Syndication Partners, LP, which has been approved by the Management Committee (which provide, or shall be amended to provide, that each Suburban Project will be listed for sale as soon as possible with the goal of consummating the sale of each Suburban Project during the Holding Period for the Suburban Projects). Upon request of the Management Committee, or as otherwise deemed appropriate by the Manager, the Manager shall prepare and submit to the Management Committee for its review and approval supplements and/or amendments to each Project Plan. The Project Plan for each Project may be supplemented and amended from time to time only by the Management Committee. Anything contained in this Agreement, any Project Plan or any amendment to a Project Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event of any inconsistency or conflict between any Project Plan or any amendment thereto and this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control unless such inconsistency or conflict was expressly identified in such Project Plan or amendment as being inconsistent or in conflict with this Agreement and such Project Plan or amendment nevertheless received the approval of the Management Committee, in which case the provisions of the Project Plan shall control.

3.03    Holding Period. As to each Project, the Manager shall present to the Management Committee strategies for the sale or other disposition of that Project prior to the expiration of the Holding Period for that Project. Unless otherwise determined by the Management Committee, the Manager shall exert diligent efforts to cause each Project to be

- 13 -



sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, and the proceeds of such sale, transfer or other disposition (including without limitation the full cash payment of any promissory note or other deferred payment obligation) to be collected, on or before the expiration of the Holding Period for that Project. In the event that, notwithstanding such diligent efforts of Manager, a Project has not been so disposed of by the expiration of the Holding Period for that Project, the Management Committee will reevaluate the pricing and strategy for such disposition in order to expedite the disposition of such Project.

3.04    Competing Projects and Investments.

(a)    Investor. Operator acknowledges that Investor and Affiliates of Investor are engaged in the investment business and have in the past and intend in the future to invest in, finance and/or otherwise participate in real estate development, real estate investment, other real estate-related businesses and other businesses and/or ventures for their own account and with others. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any way the present or future business or investment activities in which Investor or any Investor Affiliate may engage, whether or not such other businesses or investments may be in competition with the Company. Neither the Company nor Operator shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to any activities of Investor or any Investor Affiliate (or the income or proceeds derived therefrom).

(b)    Operator. Operator shall, and shall cause the Key Individuals to, devote such time, effort and managerial resources to the Company and the Projects as are necessary and appropriate for the timely, efficient and effective performance of Operator’s duties and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation Operator’s duties and obligations as Manager).

(c)    Operator Affiliates. Except for or in connection with (i) the ownership by an Affiliate of Operator of the project commonly known as Four Points Center located in suburban Austin; (ii) the property management and leasing services provided by TPG-FP Services, LP or TPG LP to the owners of the two projects commonly known as 816 Congress Avenue and Austin Center located in the central business district of Austin (the “Competing Properties”); (iii) investments intended for personal use and enjoyment by Key Individuals and their relatives, (iv) investments anticipated at the time of acquisition to involve a total capital investment, direct and indirect, debt and equity from all investors and lenders, of less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate, and (v) Projects purchased by Operator as the Non-Initiating Member pursuant to Section 11.02, Operator shall not, and Operator agrees to cause its Affiliates to not, during the term of the Company, invest in, finance, provide management or leasing services and/or otherwise participate in, outside the Company, for their own account, advise or assist another client with respect to, any office project located in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area. In the event that Operator or its Affiliates are simultaneously pursuing a prospective tenant to lease space in any Project and in any Competing Project, Operator shall keep Investor fully informed of the lease terms being offered to such prospective tenant at both locations to the extent possible.

3.05    Environmental Matters.


- 14 -



(a)        Remediation. If, in connection with the renovation of any Project, any Environmental Remediation will need to be undertaken, the Manager shall coordinate, control and supervise the Environmental Remediation program on behalf of the Company, provided, however, that all contracts, agreements and payments thereunder shall be in the name of and made by the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager (and not the Company or any Title Holding Subsidiary) and the Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager (and not the Company or any Title Holding Subsidiary) shall have its name on all environmental manifests.

(b)        Consultants. In connection with any phase I, phase II or other environmental investigation or analysis, and in connection with any Environmental Remediation, Manager shall contract only with an environmental consultant or contractor on a list approved by the Management Committee. The Management Committee may add or delete consultants and contractors to or from such approved list in its sole discretion.

3.06    Prohibited Transactions. Manager recognizes Investor’s need to avoid engaging in any prohibited transaction. Accordingly, Manager will structure all transactions by the Company to avoid a prohibited transaction for Investor. As used herein, “prohibited transaction for Investor” shall mean any transaction involving the Company or a Subsidiary where the other party or parties to the transaction are not able to make the representation set forth in Section 12.01(a)(i) with respect to themselves and such transaction.

3.07    Unrelated Business Taxable Income. Investor is an integral part of the State of California performing an essential governmental function and therefore exempt from taxation. Manager recognizes Investor’s desire, where feasible, to nevertheless structure transactions to avoid or minimize the receipt of income that would be subject to the unrelated business income tax if received by a Person subject to that tax. Accordingly, Manager will use Due Care to avoid the receipt of income that would be subject to the unrelated business income tax, except for such unrelated business taxable income that would result solely from the failure to comply with the provisions contained in Section 514(c)(9)(E)(i) of the Code. If, after the Manager has disclosed in writing to the Management Committee the nature and extent of the potential unrelated business taxable income that may be generated by a Project, the Management Committee nevertheless expressly elects to proceed with such Project, and provided the Manager uses Due Care to limit such unrelated business taxable income to the extent so disclosed to the Management Committee, then Manager will not be liable in any respect to Investor or the Company for entering into a transaction that gives rise to income that would be subject to the unrelated business income tax if received by a Person subject to that tax.

ARTICLE IV.
CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

4.01    Capital Commitment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, under no circumstances will Investor or Operator be obligated to make capital contributions (Initial Contributions, Additional Contributions or otherwise) to the Company, except in accordance with this Article.

4.02    Initial Contributions of the Members. Promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Member shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company in

- 15 -



the amount of such Member’s Percentage Interest of (i) the total organization costs of the Company, (ii) the purchase price and other transaction costs payable by the Company pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) initial working capital of the Company as approved by the Management Committee, which the Members anticipate will be in the approximate amount of One Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($110,000,000) in the aggregate from each Member. The Company shall enter into the Purchase Agreement and consummate the transactions as the purchaser under the Purchase Agreement. The initial Capital Contributions made pursuant to this Section shall be used first, to reimburse the Members for the organizational costs and expenses reasonably and actually incurred by each pursuant to Section 2.05(b) (to be split equally by the Members), and to pay the purchase price and other transaction costs payable by the Company under the Purchase Agreement, and the balance to establish an initial working capital reserve for the Company. Any contribution made to the capital of the Company pursuant to this Section is referred to as an “Initial Contribution”. The Initial Contribution by each Member made pursuant to this Section shall be credited to the Book Capital Account of such Member as of the date such Initial Contribution is made by Investor.

4.03    Additional Contributions. 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.

(a)    Generally. From time to time, the Manager may require the Members to make Additional Contributions in compliance with this Section and the other requirements set forth in Exhibit D (but excluding capital needed to fund the Company’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 2.09(d)) by submitting a Contribution Request pursuant to said Exhibit D. Only Additional Contributions in compliance with the Company Plans approved by the Management Committee (after giving effect to all Initial Contributions and all prior Additional Contributions) will be required, up to the maximum aggregate amount of Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000) of Additional Contributions from both Members. The Additional Contributions will be provided by the Members in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

(b)    Indemnity. If needed to fund the Company’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 2.09(d), Investor and Operator shall be obligated to make Additional Contributions to the Company.

4.04    Cost Overruns. Manager shall not be liable for any cost overruns unless caused by a lack of Due Care or a Material Breach on the part of the Operator or any Operator Affiliate, in which case such cost overruns shall be funded as an expense of the Operator outside the Company and accordingly shall not be treated as a capital contribution or a loan to the Members or the Company and shall not entitle the Operator to any interest on or refund of any amounts so advanced or to any other rights or remedies against the Company or any Member. To the extent the Operator fails to advance any cost overrun as required by this Agreement, the Investor may, but shall not be required to, do so on the Operator’s behalf. Should the Investor so advance any cost overrun on Operator’s behalf at any time, the amount so advanced shall be deemed a Shortfall Amount and the Investor shall have the rights with respect thereto set forth in Section 4.06.

- 16 -



4.05    [Intentionally Omitted].

4.06    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 50% by the Contributing Member and 50% by the Non-Contributing Member, the Non-Contributing Member failed to contribute capital resulting in a Shortfall Amount of $50,000, the Contributing Member would be entitled to withdraw from capital a Refund Amount equal to $50,000.
    
(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 equity value of the Company based on the Appraised Value of the Projects 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). In addition, in such event, the Book Capital Account of the Non-Contributing Member shall be immediately reduced, and the Book Capital Account of the Contributing Member shall be immediately increased, so that the ratio of the Member’s Book Capital Accounts is equal to the ratio of the Member’s respective Percentage Interests after adjustment pursuant to this Section.

(iii)    Fund the Shortfall Amount to the Company, not withdraw the Refund Amount, and treat the Shortfall Amount so funded as a loan to the Non-Contributing Member from the Contributing Member (a “Member Loan”) and additional Capital Contribution to the Company by the Non-Contributing Member. Each Member Loan shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded monthly. In such event, all

- 17 -



amounts that would otherwise have been distributed or paid by the Company to the Non-Contributing Member or any Affiliate of the Non-Contributing Member (including without limitation amounts distributable or payable upon the dissolution of the Company) (“Member Loan Payments”) will, for all purposes of this Agreement, be deemed and accounted for as if distributed or paid to the Non-Contributing Member or Affiliate, but will in fact be paid directly to the Contributing Member by the Company on account of such Member Loan, with Member Loan Payments being first applied to interest accrued on such Member Loan and then to reduce the principal amount of such Member Loan. In the event there are more than one (1) outstanding Member Loan, then each such Member Loan Payment shall be applied thereto in proportion to the amounts outstanding under all such Member Loans. If not sooner repaid, all principal and interest on Member Loans shall become immediately due and payable upon the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any other dissolution of the Company from the proceeds, if any, of such disposition or dissolution or on the Transfer of the Interest of the Non-Contributing Member. The Non-Contributing Member shall execute, acknowledge, deliver, any documents, instruments and agreements reasonably necessary to evidence such Member Loan and to direct such Member Loan Payments to the Contributing Member.

(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 under Section 4.06(a)(ii) or (iii) 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.

4.07    Financing and Guaranties.

(a)    The Manager shall attempt to obtain debt financing and, if appropriate, refinancing for each Project from one (1) or more third-party financial institutions in amounts and on terms that comply with the then applicable Project Plan for that Project and the then applicable Annual Plan. Any such financing or, if appropriate, refinancing shall be non-recourse to the Company and the applicable Title Holding Subsidiary (subject to usual and customary exceptions to exculpation) and shall be obtained on the best available market rates and terms, as determined by the Manager (provided, however, that in any event such rates and terms must comply with the Project Plan for that Project and the then applicable Annual Plan). Manager shall use good faith diligent efforts to cause the loan documents for all third party loans to the Company or a Title Holding Subsidiary to require that a separate copy of all notices of default thereunder be delivered to Investor at the same time such notices are delivered to the Company or a Title Holding Subsidiary. In the absence of such provisions, the Manager shall deliver to Investor a copy of any notice of default under any such loan documents immediately upon the

- 18 -



Company’s or a Title Holding Subsidiary’s receipt of the same. In the event and to the extent that the financing shall require delivery of any usual and customary guaranties, indemnities, letters of credit and other credit enhancements for a non-recourse financing, then Manager shall endeavor to cause the Project lender to accept same from the Company. If Manager cannot cause the Project lender to accept such guaranties, indemnities, letters of credit and other credit enhancements from the Company, then Operator may, if it so elects in its discretion, provide or cause an Affiliate of the Operator to provide same. Neither Investor nor Operator shall be required to execute or provide any guaranty, indemnity, letter of credit or other enhancement in connection with any construction, permanent or other financing obtained by the Company. Any amounts paid by Operator or its Affiliates on account of any such guaranty, indemnity, letter of credit or other credit enhancement shall be a cost of the Company and either paid by the Company or paid by and reimbursed to Operator, unless the obligation to satisfy any such claim results from a Material Breach or a lack of Due Care by Operator or any Affiliate of Operator, in which case such amounts shall be deemed funded as an expense of the Operator or its Affiliates outside the Company and accordingly shall not be treated as a capital contribution or a loan to the other Members or the Company and shall not entitle the Operator or its Affiliates to any interest on, refund of or reimbursement for any amounts so advanced or to any other rights or remedies against the Company or any Member.

(b)    The Manager shall use good faith efforts to have all such financing and refinancing allow the Members to exercise and implement the Buyout Default provisions of Article X without requiring the lender’s consent, causing a breach or default under such financing or refinancing, triggering any due on sale or due on transfer provision in such financing or refinancing, resulting in any change in terms or additional fees being due under such financing or refinancing or otherwise disadvantaging the Company or either Member in any way.

4.08    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.
PROFITS AND LOSSES

5.01    Incorporation of Exhibit C. Each and all of the provisions of Exhibit C are incorporated herein and shall constitute part of this Agreement. Exhibit C provides for, among other income tax matters, the maintenance of Book Capital Accounts, allocations for book and tax purposes, and, if required, the tax withholding of distributions. The Company shall be operated as a partnership solely for federal, state and local income tax purposes.

(a)    No Member, and no Person owning any direct or indirect interest in a Member, may Transfer all or any part of such Member’s Interest or Person’s interest in such Member, including without limitation, Transfers of any right to receive distributions or any other economic interest; provided however, the following Transfers shall be permitted: (i) Transfers to a Permitted Transferee; and (ii) so long as (1) the requirements of Section 12.01(a)(i) are satisfied with respect to Operator following such Transfer, (2) TPG LP remains the sole managing member of Operator without any other member of Operator holding approval rights over any decisions of Operator as the Manager of the Company, and with ownership of a majority of the membership interests in Operator following such Transfer, and (3) TPGI remains the sole general partner of TPG LP following such Transfer, any Transfer of (x) the stock of TPGI, operating partnership units of TPG LP with paired limited voting shares, and other securities of TPGI, and (y) any of the membership interests in Operator that are not owned by TPG LP. A Permitted Transferee shall receive and hold such Interest subject to the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation the restrictions on Transfers contained in this Article) and to the obligations hereunder of the transferor.

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.

- 24 -



other Member in connection with such Transfer.

8.04    Regulatory Prohibition.

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.

Such reserves shall be disbursed under the direction of the Management Committee 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 Management Committee, the balance of such reserves shall be distributed, first pursuant to Section 9.02(c) and then Section 9.02(d) below;

In that regard the Members agree that the Default Price shall be adjusted to reflect all cash in accounts of the Company on the Effective Date of the Buyout Notice. The adjustment shall include all prorations of income and expenses of the Company on a cash basis as of the Closing Date (with such items allocated to the Company prior to such Closing Date and to the Non-Defaulting Member on and after such Closing Date) and the expenses of the Company accountant’s services to the Company in determining the amounts and making the settlement allocated to the Company. The Company accountants shall deliver to the Members a detailed statement and explanation (“Final Settlement Statement”) of any such adjustments.
  
10.06    Undisclosed Liabilities.

(a)    Residual Liabilities. The Defaulting Member shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Non-Defaulting Member and the Company from, all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and/or expenses (including without limitation Costs of Litigation) incurred by the Company and/or the Non-Defaulting Member (“Residual Liabilities”) as a result of (i) any Event of Default by the Defaulting Member which has not been cured by the Closing Date; or (ii) the condition of title to the Defaulting Member’s Interest not being as required herein. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, at the Non-Defaulting Member’s election, a reasonable amount not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Default Price (the “Holdback Amount”) shall be held back from the Default Price for application to any Residual Liabilities that were not taken into account in the calculation of the Default Price. The Holdback Amount, to the extent not applied to the payment of Residual Liabilities, shall be released to the Defaulting Member eighteen (18) months following the Closing or sooner as reasonably determined by the Non-Defaulting Member; provided, however, that for potential Residual Liabilities as to which the Non-Defaulting Member has given the Defaulting Member written notice prior to the expiration of such eighteen (18) month or sooner period, the Holdback Amount shall be retained until all liabilities arising out of the potential Residual Liabilities described in such written notice have been satisfied.

(b)    Other Liabilities. The Defaulting Member shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Non-Defaulting Member and the Company from all losses, liabilities,

- 31 -



damages, costs and/or expenses (including without limitation Costs of Litigation) arising out of or in any way related to the Defaulting Member’s Interest on account of any fact or circumstance occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing Date. Except for any Residual Liabilities, the Non-Defaulting Member shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Defaulting Member from all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and/or expenses (including without limitation Costs of Litigation) arising out of or in any way related to the Defaulting Member’s Interest on account of any fact or circumstance occurring or arising after the Closing Date.

10.07    Voting Rights Following Buyout Default. From and after the occurrence of a Buyout Default by the Defaulting Member and the delivery of a Buyout Notice to the Defaulting Member by the Non-Defaulting Member under this Agreement (i) the Defaulting Member shall not be entitled to participate in the management of, or otherwise vote upon, any matter affecting the business and affairs of the Company; (ii) the Defaulting Member shall have no right to appoint any Representative and any previously appointed Representative(s) of the Defaulting Member shall be replaced by one (1) or more Representative(s) appointed by the Non-Defaulting Member; and (iii) the rights of the Defaulting Member shall be limited solely to those of an assignee.

ARTICLE XI.
FORCED SALE

11.01    Initiating Notice.

(a)    At any time after the Forced Sale Lockout Date, any Member who is not then a Defaulting Member (the “Initiating Member”) may cause the Company to sell one or more Projects or all of the Projects (“Forced Sale”) provided that the Initiating Member shall have first complied with the provisions of this Section. The Initiating Member shall give notice (the “Initiating Notice”) to the other Member (the “Non-Initiating Member”) of the Initiating Member’s election to cause the Company to sell one or more Projects or all of the Projects, as designated by the Initiating Member (the “Sale Projects”), a proposed purchase price (the “Offer Price”) for such sale of the Sale Projects, and specification whether the purchaser will be required to assume existing mortgage loans to the Company secured by the Sale Projects (the “Existing Loans”). The date the Non-Initiating Member receives the Initiating Notice shall be referred to as the “Offer Date”. A Forced Sale process may be initiated multiple times in accordance with this Section with respect to one or more remaining Projects owned by the Company. If a current Forced Sale process is pending with respect to one or more Sale Projects, another Initiating Notice may be given at any time with respect to one or more other Projects, but another Initiating Notice may not be given with respect to such pending Sale Projects prior to either (i) the expiration of the Sale Period pursuant to Section 11.01(c) for such pending Sale Projects or (ii) the Closing Date for such Sale Projects pursuant to Section 11.02(b). If at any time both Members have given an Initiating Notice and the Sale Projects under both Initiating Notices are both in the Sale Period, then both Members will reasonably cooperate with each other to coordinate their sale activities, if possible into a single sale process for both groups of Sale Projects.

(b)    In addition, if there is a Buyout Default, then the Non-Defaulting Member will have the right to be the Initiating Member and give an Initiating Notice and cause the

- 32 -



foregoing Forced Sale process to commence regardless of whether such Buyout Default occurs before or after the Forced Sale Lockout Date. In addition, if there is a Key Individual Trigger, then the Investor will have the right to be the Initiating Member and give an Initiating Notice and cause the foregoing Forced Sale process to commence regardless of whether such Key Individual Trigger occurs before or after the Forced Sale Lockout Date.

(c)    The Non-Initiating Member shall have thirty (30) days from the Offer Date to elect, by notice to the Initiating Member, to purchase all of the Sale Projects for the Offer Price and to make the Deposit described in Section 11.02(a), in which case the provisions of Section 11.02 shall apply. During such thirty (30) day period, the Non-Initiating Member shall be granted commercially reasonable access to the Sale Projects for the purpose of such tests, inspections and other due diligence investigations as the Non-Initiating Member may reasonably require. If the Non-Initiating Member does not give notice to the Initiating Member of its election to purchase all of the Sale Projects for the Offer Price and make such Deposit within such thirty (30) day period then, subject to the following sentence, the Initiating Member may cause the Company to sell all of the Sale Projects to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Initiating Member for a gross purchase price (i.e., before payment of any commissions or other transaction costs) that is not less than ninety five percent (95%) of the Offer Price, and on other terms and conditions in accordance with the Initiating Notice. If the Company does not complete the sale of all of the Sale Projects to any Person that is not an Affiliate of the Initiating Member for a gross purchase price (i.e., before payment of any commissions or other transaction costs) that is not less than ninety five (95%) of the Offer Price, and on other terms and conditions in accordance with the Initiating Notice within the period (the “Sale Period”) ending six (6) months after the earlier of (i) the expiration of the aforementioned thirty (30) day period, or (ii) the date on which the Non-Initiating Member notifies the Initiating Member that it does not elect to acquire all of the Sale Projects for the Offer Price, then the Initiating Member may not cause the Company to sell the Sale Projects without again first offering the Sale Projects for sale to the Non-Initiating Member in accordance with this Section.

(d)    If the Initiating Notice given under Section 11.01(a) does not require the purchaser to assume the Existing Loans, then in connection with the sale of the Sale Projects pursuant to Section 11.01(c) the Initiating Member (and not the Company) shall pay all prepayment and defeasance penalties, premiums and other costs associated with the prepayment or defeasance of such Existing Loans not assumed by the purchaser (collectively, “Defeasance Costs”).

11.02    Sale to Non-Initiating Member. If the Non-Initiating Member elects to purchase all of the Sale Projects for the Offer Price, the Company shall sell and convey, and the Non-Initiating Member shall purchase, all of the Sale Projects for the Offer Price in accordance with the following provisions.

(a)    Deposit by Non-Initiating Member. To be effective, the Non-Initiating Member’s election to purchase all of the Sale Projects must be accompanied by a letter or other statement signed by a nationally recognized title insurance company, bank or trust company doing business in California (the “Escrow Holder”) confirming that the Non-Initiating Member has deposited with the Escrow Holder, to be held by the Escrow Holder pursuant to this Agreement, the sum of five percent (5%) of the Offer Price (the “Deposit”).

- 33 -



(b)    Closing and Payment. The closing of the Non-Initiating Member’s purchase of all of the Sale Projects (the “Closing”) shall be held at the principal office of Investor (or at such other location as shall be reasonably agreed upon by the Members) on a business day (the “Closing Date”) selected by the Non-Initiating Member, which Closing Date shall not be more than forty-five (45) days after the date on which the Non-Initiating Member notified the Initiating Member of the Non-Initiating Member’s election to acquire all of the Sale Projects for the Offer Price. At the Closing, the following shall occur:

(i)    The Non-Initiating Member shall deliver an amount equal to the excess of the Offer Price over the Deposit then being held by the Escrow Holder, and the Non-Initiating Member shall cause the Escrow Holder to deliver the Deposit, all by cashier’s check or in immediately available funds, to the Company.
  
(ii)    The Non-Initiating Member shall receive credit toward the Offer Price for the outstanding principal balance of any Existing Loan assumed by the Non-Initiating Member, the Non-Initiating Member shall pay all assumption fees and other costs associated with the assumption of any Existing Loans by the Non-Initiating Member, and the Non-Initiating Member shall pay all Defeasance Costs in connection with any Existing Loans not assumed by the Non-Initiating Member; provided, however, if the Initiating Notice given under Section 11.01(a) does not require the purchaser to assume the Existing Loans, then the Initiating Member shall pay all such Defeasance Costs.

(iii)    The Company shall convey to the Non-Initiating Member title to all of the Sale Projects by executing and, as applicable, recording usual and customary real property conveyancing documentation, subject to all matters of record, with respect to Sale Projects consisting solely of real property. The Members shall cooperate to arrange for normal and customary real property title insurance to be issued to the Non-Initiating Member at the Closing with respect to the Sale Projects consisting of real property, the cost thereof attributable to standard coverage to be paid by the Company and any cost associated with extended coverage desired by the Non-Initiating Member being paid by the Non-Initiating Member. In addition, customary Closing prorations and post Closing reconciliations shall be made as between the Company and the Non-Initiating Member and other costs of the transaction shall be allocated between the Non-Initiating Member and the Company as would be customary between a buyer and seller of real property in the location of the Sale Projects. The Non-Initiating Member shall be entitled to designate any third party to acquire title to the Sale Projects provided that such designation shall not delay any transaction described in this Article and shall not relieve the Non-Initiating Member of any duty, obligation or liability.

(iv)    The Members shall cooperate with each other to structure the transfer in a tax and cost efficient manner, but only on the condition that neither Member nor the Company shall be obligated to incur any additional cost, expense or liability, or to take title to any property (except to the extent contemplated by other provisions of this Section) as a result of such cooperation, the requesting Member shall reimburse the other Member for such other Member’s reasonable costs and expenses, including without limitation, legal fees incurred in reviewing and, if necessary, revising any documentation requested by the requesting Member, and such structuring shall not delay the Closing.

- 34 -



(c)    Sale As-Is. Except as provided above, neither the Initiating Member nor the Company shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Non-Initiating Member with respect to the Sale Projects and the Non-Initiating Member shall acquire the Sale Projects in their as-is condition. Nevertheless (a) the Company shall remain responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Non-Initiating Member from, all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and/or expenses (including without limitation Costs of Litigation) related to the Sale Projects that arose or accrued prior to the Closing; and (b) the Non-Initiating Member shall assume responsibility for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and the Initiating Member from, all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and/or expenses (including without limitation Costs of Litigation) related to the Sale Projects that arise or accrue after the Closing. The Non-Initiating Member shall be responsible for obtaining the consent or approval of the holder of any debt encumbering the Sale Projects or any Project Partner whose consent or approval may be required and the Non-Initiating Member shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Initiating Member and the Company from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage and expense (including without limitation, Costs of Litigation) which the Initiating Member or the Company may suffer or incur by reason of any failure to obtain any such consent or approval.

(d)    Rights and Obligations After Election to Purchase. As of the date of the Non-Initiating Member elects to purchase the Sale Projects pursuant to this Article, any decision, consent or approval regarding the Sale Projects which requires the concurrence of both Members shall not require the approval of the Initiating Member or which requires the Unanimous Approval of all Representatives shall not require the approval of the Initiating Member’s Representatives.

(e)    Failure to Perform.

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Initiating Member defaults in its obligations pursuant to this Section 11.02, such shall be deemed a Buyout Default by the Initiating Member.

(ii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Non-Initiating Member defaults in its obligations pursuant to this Section 11.02:
 
(A)    THE MEMBERS AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGE TO THE COMPANY. THE MEMBERS THEREFORE AGREE THAT, IF THE NON-INITIATING MEMBER DEFAULTS IN ITS OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SECTION 11.02, THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE COMPANY’S DAMAGES AND THAT THE COMPANY SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SAID SUM AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IN SUCH EVENT, THE ESCROW HOLDER SHALL, UPON DEMAND BY THE INITIATING MEMBER WITHOUT JOINDER OF THE NON-INITIATING MEMBER, IMMEDIATELY DELIVER THE DEPOSIT TO THE COMPANY IN CASH OR OTHER IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. TO SIGNIFY THEIR AWARENESS AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION THE MEMBERS HAVE SEPARATELY INITIALED THIS SECTION.

(B)    In addition to the rights and remedies set forth in Section 11.02(e)(ii)(A), if the Non-Initiating Member defaults in its obligations pursuant to this Section 11.02, such shall be deemed a Buyout Default by the Non-Initiating Member and the Initiating Member shall be free to cause the Company to sell the Company’s entire interest in the Sale Projects without any further compliance with or restriction imposed by this Article; provided, however, that any such sale is in an arm’s length transaction with a purchaser that is not an Affiliate of the Initiating Member.

11.03    No Waiver. Neither the exercise of any right, making of any election or consummation of any sale pursuant to this Article shall be or be deemed to be a release or waiver of any right or remedy any Member may have with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the consummation of such sale, including without limitation any Event of Default.

11.04    Sale of All Projects. In the event that the Initiating Member commences a Forced Sale process with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Projects then owned by the Company and the Non-Initiating Member elects to purchase all the Projects in accordance with this Article XI, then the Non-Initiating Member may simultaneously elect to structure such purchase as a purchase of the entire Interest of the Initiating Member in lieu of a purchase of all the Projects. In such event, if the Non-Initiating Member so elects to purchase the entire Interest of the Initiating Member, then the Closing shall take place in the manner set forth in Sections 10.04 through 10.07, with the “Buyout Default” replaced by the election under this Section of the Non-Initiating Member to purchase the entire Interest of the Initiating Member, the “Defaulting Member” replaced by the Initiating Member, the “Non-Defaulting Member” replaced by the Non-Initiating Member, and the “Default Price” replaced by the total amount determined by the Company’s accountants that would be distributed to the Initiating Member pursuant to Section 10.03(b)(i) if the sale price for all the Company assets were the Offer Price. Both Members shall reasonably cooperate with one another to consummate a Forced Sale of all the Projects in the manner described in this Section if the Non-Initiating Member so elects to purchase the entire Interest of the Initiating Member in lieu of purchasing all the Projects directly.

ARTICLE XII.

(a)    Representations and Warranties. In addition to the representations and warranties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, to induce the Investor to enter into this Agreement, the Operator makes the following representations and warranties as of the date of the execution of this Agreement:

(viii)    No Delegation. Operator has not delegated its responsibilities as Manager under this Agreement.

(ix)    Registrations. Operator has completed, obtained and performed all registrations, filings, approvals, authorizations, consents or examinations required by any governmental authority for its acts in its capacity as Manager under this Agreement.

(x)    Changes in Circumstances. Operator Entities agree to promptly notify Investor of any changes in their compliance with the representations and warranties stated herein and agree to restore the representations and warranties, as required by Investor, in the event of a lapse. In the absence of a notice to Investor to the contrary, Investor has the right to rely on the ongoing effectiveness of each representation and warranty contained herein.

(xi)    Communication with Investor’s Board. Neither Operator, nor any Key Individual, nor other of Operator’s Constituents (excluding any Persons solely to the extent that such Persons are shareholders of TPGI, but not otherwise (the “Excluded Persons”)) has communicated with any member of Investor’s governing Board concerning any matters related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or such Board’s evaluation thereof; notwithstanding the foregoing, Operator and/or any Key Individual may meet with and communicate with members of Investor’s governing Board with regard to the Company or the assets owned by the Company, but only in response to inquiries about the Company or its portfolio by such Board members, or otherwise at the request of Investor’s staff, and provided that such communications comply with California Education Code section 22364 and the policies of the Teachers’ Retirement Board.

(xiv)    Insider Trading. Operator and its Affiliates have implemented and enforce a policy designed to insure that its employees and individuals subject to its control do not engage in illegal insider trading proscribed by federal and state securities Laws.

- 38 -



warranties set forth in Section 12.01(a) remains true as if made on the date of such Contribution Request.

12.02    Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each Member hereby represents and warrants to the Company and each other Member as follows:

(a)    Authorization. The Member is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the Law of its state of organization and that it has full power and authority to execute and agree to this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder and that all actions necessary for the due authorization, execution, delivery and performance by that Member of this Agreement have been duly taken.

(b)    Compliance with Other Instruments. The Member’s authorization, execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement do not conflict with any other agreement or arrangement to which such Member is a party or by which it is bound.

(c)    No Litigation. That there is no litigation existing, pending or, to the Member’s knowledge, threatened, against such Member or its Affiliates, which if determined adversely to the Member or its Affiliates would adversely affect the ability of the Member to fulfill its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or which would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Member or its Affiliates.

(d)    Purchase Entirely for Own Account. The Member is acquiring its Interest in the Company for the Member’s own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof and has no contract, understanding, undertaking, agreement or arrangement of any kind with any person to sell, transfer or pledge to any person its interest or any part thereof nor does such Member have any plan to enter into any such agreement.

(e)    Investment Experience. By reason of its business or financial experience, the Member has the capacity to protect its own interest in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, is able to bear the risks of an investment in the Company, and at the present time could afford a complete loss of such investment.

(f)    Disclosure of Information. The Member is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire an interest in the Company.
(g)    Federal and State Securities Laws. The Member acknowledges that the Interests have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities Laws, inasmuch as they are being acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering, and, under such Laws and subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Article VIII, may not be resold or transferred by the Member without appropriate registration or the availability of an exemption from such requirements. In this connection, the Member represents that it is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Securities Act of 1933.

- 39 -



12.03    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Article shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII.
INVESTOR MATTERS

13.01    Exculpation.
 
(a)    Investor. Due to the unique nature of Investor not being a corporation or limited liability company with statutorily provided limitations on the liability of its Constituents, the parties wish to provide for such limitation on liability by agreement. Accordingly, the parties agree that no present or future Constituent of the Investor shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, and recourse shall not be had against any such Constituent, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other document or instrument heretofore or hereafter executed in connection with this Agreement. The Operator hereby waives and releases any and all such personal liability and recourse. In addition, the Operator agrees that all persons dealing with the Investor must look solely to the Investor’s Interest in the Company for the enforcement of any claims against or liability of the Investor. The limitations of liability provided in this Section are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation on liability applicable to the Investor provided by Law or in any other contract, agreement or instrument.

(b)    Operator. The parties agree that no present or future Constituent of the Operator shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, and recourse shall not be had against any such Constituent, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other document or instrument heretofore or hereafter executed in connection with this Agreement. The Investor hereby waives and releases any and all such personal liability and recourse. The limitations of liability provided in this Section are in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation on liability applicable to the Operator provided by Law or in any other contract, agreement or instrument.

13.02    Role of CCN.

(a)    The parties to this agreement acknowledge and agree that Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP (“CCN”) has represented and will represent only the parties named in this Section in connection with this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation any Project Partnership, and the agreements and transactions contemplated by those agreements (collectively the “Agreements and Transactions”). Specifically, (a) CCN will represent Investor; (b) CCN will represent the Company in connection with the acquisition of the Projects and may represent the Company and/or Title Holding Subsidiaries in connection with other Company matters as well; and (c) CCN may represent Investor and TPG/CalSTRS, LLC as set forth in the TPG/CalSTRS Agreement. CCN will not and does not represent any other person or entity concerning the Agreements and Transactions.

(b)    Specifically, no attorney/client relationship exists or will exist between CCN, on one hand, and Operator or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, concerning the Agreements and Transactions, or any other matter, and CCN shall have no duties to Operator or

- 40 -



any of its Affiliates. Operator covenants and agrees that in no event may Operator or any of its Affiliates seek to disqualify CCN from any matter on the ground that CCN undertook duties to the Operator or any of its Affiliates based upon CCN’s representation of the Investor, the Company and/or any Project Partnership in the matters described above.

(c)    The parties to this agreement acknowledge that the Company must be formed before the Company can undertake any Project. The parties further acknowledge that, as a practical matter, the transactions which will create the Company will overlap in time with the acquisition of the Projects. Thus, CCN’s work concerning the formation of the Company will proceed simultaneously with the acquisition of the Projects. This means that CCN will carry out some of its work on behalf of the Company before the Company exists. Notwithstanding this fact, the parties agree that CCN will not take on any duty to any member of the Company individually by virtue of performing services for the Company before its formation is complete and specifically that neither Operator nor any of its Affiliates shall be CCN’s clients.

(d)    The parties to this agreement further acknowledge and agree that the Company and/or Title Holding Subsidiaries, or any of them, may engage CCN for advice or representation on matters in addition to the Agreements and Transactions once the Company is formed. The parties agree that in performing such services, CCN will not be deemed to undertake any relationship with, or duty to, any individual member of the Company and specifically that neither Operator nor any of its Affiliates shall be CCN’s client.

(e)    Operator covenants and agrees for itself and each of its Affiliates that in no event may Operator or any of its Affiliates seek to disqualify CCN from any matter based on work CCN agrees to perform for the Company. By way of example and not of limitation, in the event any dispute or controversy arises between Operator or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, or Investor (or any of their Affiliates), on the other hand, then CCN may represent the Company, the Investor, their Affiliate(s), or any of them, in any such dispute or controversy.

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.

14.10    No Obligation to Third Parties. The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer any rights upon, nor obligate either of the parties hereto to, any person or entity not a party to this Agreement.

- 44 -



14.16    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.

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.

14.19    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

- 45 -



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.

14.20    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.

14.21    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.

14.22    Communications, Contributions and Gifts Policy.

(a)    Investor requires any party who engages in business with Investor for gain to periodically provide certain disclosures relating to communications, contributions and gifts. Operator has reviewed and is familiar with Section 600 of the CalSTRS Policy Manual (as the same may be revised from time to time, and including all applicable rules and regulations pursuant thereto, provided that Operator has received notice from Investor of any such revisions, rules and regulations, individually and collectively, “Section 600”). The CalSTRS Key Personnel covered by Section 600 are listed on the CalSTRS website (http://CalSTRS.com; search “Key Personnel”), as it may be updated from time to time. The information to be provided by Operator to Investor pursuant to Section 600 shall be provided by all Key Individuals, and by any other Constituent of Operator reasonably designated in writing by Investor to Operator (excluding all Excluded Persons), and any Constituent of Operator (excluding all Excluded Persons) who now or hereafter submits, or is requested by Investor or otherwise required by Section 600 to submit, Form 600-H (Disclosure of Contributions and Gifts) or Form 600-J (Disclosure of Placement Agent Relationships) to Investor (such persons are individually and collectively the “Reporting Persons”).

(b)    Unless notified by Investor that Section 600 is no longer applicable, Operator agrees to provide the information required of Operator and the Reporting Persons by Section 600. Investor shall provide prompt notice to Operator of any revision to Section 600, and shall cooperate in good faith with Operator to explore reasonable means of avoiding a violation of Section 600 prior to its occurrence.

(c)    Without limiting the obligation of Operator to make inquiry of the Reporting Persons, in the event Operator or any Reporting Person inadvertently failed to disclose any information that was required to be disclosed pursuant to Section 600, then Operator shall

- 46 -



have thirty (30) days from the date Operator or such Reporting Person first became aware of such failure to remedy such breach of Section 600.

(d)    The reasonable cost of attendance at meetings of the Management Committee, annual or other periodic meetings of the Members or site visits to Projects or potential Projects borne by CalSTRS Key Personnel or by the Company, including but not limited to the reasonable cost of any travel, accommodations, materials, meals, or refreshments, shall not be deemed to violate Section 600 or require any notice by Operator pursuant to Section 600.

(e)    Operator has reviewed and agrees that Operator and the Reporting Persons shall comply with Investor’s Investment Relationship and Campaign Contributions regulations, codified at California Code of Regulations, Title 5, Division 3, Chapter 1, Article 14, Section 24010 et seq., available at http://www.oal.ca.gov/CCR.htm (as the same may be revised from time to time pursuant to the California Administrative Procedure Act, the “Regulations”).

(f)    (i) In the event that (1) Operator or any Reporting Person fails to timely provide the information required by Section 600, or (2) there is a violation of Section 600 by Operator or any Reporting Person, in either case subject to Operator’s cure right pursuant to subsection (c) above; or (ii) in the event that there is a violation of the Regulations by Operator or any Reporting Person that falls outside the safe harbor of Section 24012(d) of the Regulations; then in any such case (A) Investor may elect to terminate the Investment Period with respect to any and all new Projects that have not then received Initial Certification, and (B) Investor may, at its option, disqualify Operator, the Reporting Persons and their respective Affiliates from entering into any future transactions with Investor or its Affiliates for a period of up to two (2) years.

A-1



(b)    If the Appraised Value is not agreed upon or established in the manner described in paragraph (a) of this definition, the Investor shall appoint one (1) Qualified Appraiser and provide Operator with notice thereof. Within five (5) days following the receipt of notice of Investor's Qualified Appraiser, the Operator shall either agree to the Investor's Qualified Appraiser or appoint a second (2nd) Qualified Appraiser and give notice to the Investor of the person so appointed. If the Operator fails to appoint a second (2nd) Qualified Appraiser within the time period specified, the Qualified Appraiser appointed by the Investor shall proceed to make the Appraisal as herein set forth, and the determination of the Appraised Value made by the Qualified Appraiser appointed by the Investor shall be conclusive on the Members.

If the two (2) appointed Qualified Appraisers fail to appoint a third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser within ten (10) days following the Investor's receipt of written notice from the Operator notifying the Investor of the appointment of the second (2nd) Qualified Appraiser, either Member may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser, in the same manner as provided for the appointment of an arbitrator pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1281.6.

Upon submission of the Appraisals setting forth the opinions as to the Appraised Value, the two (2) such Appraisals which are nearest in amount shall be retained, the third (3rd) Appraisal shall be discarded, and the average of the two (2) retained appraisals shall constitute the “Appraised Value”; provided, however, that if one (1) Appraisal is the mean of the other two (2) Appraisals, such Appraisal shall constitute the “Appraised Value”.
(d)    If three (3) Qualified Appraisers are appointed, the Investor shall pay for the services of the Qualified Appraiser appointed by the Investor, the Operator shall pay for the services of the Qualified Appraiser appointed by the Operator and the cost of the services of the third (3rd) Qualified Appraiser shall be paid one-half (1/2) by the Investor and one-half (1/2) by the Operator.

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.

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

(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 recommended by the Manager subject to the approval of the Management Committee.

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.

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 and subject to the approval of the Management Committee) 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) and 2.5 of this Exhibit.

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 Management Committee 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.

The Manager shall prepare a written agenda for all meetings and deliver that agenda to the Representatives prior to such meeting; provided, however, that any Representative shall be entitled to add any matter he or she elects to such agenda at or before such meeting. The Manager shall be responsible for having written minutes taken at each meeting (including each telephone conference meeting) of the Management Committee, which shall be sent to the Representatives within three (3) business days following such meeting for approval. Only when signed by at least one Representative appointed by each Member, such minutes shall be conclusive evidence of such action and shall be incorporated into the books and records of the Company.

1.06    Telephonic Participation. Representatives may participate in any regularly scheduled or special meeting of the Management Committee telephonically or through other similar communications equipment, as long as all of the Representatives participating in the meeting can hear one another. Participation in a meeting pursuant to the preceding sentence shall constitute attendance in person at such meeting for all purposes of this Agreement.
1.07    Notice and Attendance. Notice of any meeting of, or of any action taken without a meeting pursuant to Section 1.09 of this Exhibit by, the Management Committee shall be given as far in advance of such meeting or action as is reasonably practicable.

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 only by the Manager (acting within the scope of its authority pursuant to this Agreement) or by such other authorized person(s) as may be designated by the Management Committee.

Unless the Management Committee 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 Management Committee for any reason or no reason whatsoever, with or without cause, or such officer resigns.
