4.02 Additional Capital Contributions.

(a) If at any time or from time to time after all of the Initial Capital Contributions have been contributed, the Managing Member determines that additional funds (a “Shortfall”) are reasonably required (i) to meet the ongoing obligations, liabilities, expenses or other reasonable business needs of the Company in accordance with the then applicable Budget or Operating Plan, including in connection with the Planned Renovation, or (ii) for any other purpose as reasonably determined by the Managing Member relating to the Company and/or the ownership, operation, development and/or management of any portion of the Company Property or for any other purpose which is not adverse or contrary to the then applicable Budget or Operating Plan, and the Managing Member has determined to request additional capital to fund such Shortfall, then the Managing Member shall deliver notice (a “Participation Notice”) to each of the Members offering each Member the right to contribute (subject to the consequences specified herein) its pro rata share (based upon the Percentage Interests of the Members at the time of such request) of such Shortfall (such pro rata share, an “Additional Capital Contribution”). If so requested by the Managing Member, each Member who elects to fund any Additional Capital Contribution shall do so within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of a Participation Notice. In addition to any Additional Capital Contributions made under this Agreement, the Members acknowledge and agree that any amounts paid by the Members or their respective Affiliates pursuant to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement shall be deemed Additional Capital Contributions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein: (A) the Members shall be required to make all Additional Capital Contributions required to fund the Planned Renovation, and (B) if the Managing Member does not call capital in an amount sufficient to fund the Planned Renovation, the Budget or Operating Plan or any other Necessary Expenses of the Company, then Walton Street shall have the right to make such capital call without any approval of the Managing Member and shall have all of the rights of the Managing Member under this Article IV or otherwise with respect to such capital call and any failure by the Managing Member to fund its pro rata portion thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a failure by any Member to make any Additional Capital Contribution to the extent required or requested hereunder shall not constitute an Event of Default by such Member and (i) the sole consequence

of a failure by any Member to make any Additional Capital Contribution required to fund the Planned Renovation shall be as set forth in Section 4.03 (such Additional Capital Contributions being referred to as “Mandatory Additional Capital Contributions”), and (ii) the sole consequence of a failure by any Member to fund any Additional Capital Contributions other than Mandatory Capital Contributions shall be as set forth below in this Section 4.02(b) (such Additional Capital Contributions being referred to as “Voluntary Additional Capital Contributions”). If any Member (the “Non-Contributing Member”) fails to timely make a Voluntary Additional Capital Contribution when due, then the other Member (the “Contributing Member”) may elect any time thereafter, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make such Additional Capital Contribution (any such Capital Contribution by a Contributing Member, a “Substitute Contribution”), and the Percentage Interest of each Member shall be adjusted accordingly (in the manner set forth in the definition of Percentage Interest) to take into account the Additional Capital Contributions and Substitute Contributions made in connection with such required or requested Additional Capital Contribution.

4.03 Additional Capital Contribution Default; Remedies.

(a) Upon the failure of any Member (the “Defaulting Member”) to make any Mandatory Additional Capital Contribution (the portion thereof not contributed by such Defaulting Member being referred to herein as the “Deficiency”), the Managing Member shall inform the other Member (the “Non-Defaulting Member”) in writing of such Deficiency (a “Deficiency Notice”) within five (5) days after the date on which the contribution was required to be made. Within ten (10) days after the date of delivery of a Deficiency Notice, the Non-Defaulting Member shall deliver written notice (an “Election Notice”) to the Defaulting Member, stating that it elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to do one of the following in connection with such Deficiency: (i) withdraw the corresponding required contribution that was made by it in connection with such Deficiency; (ii) not withdraw its own contribution and contribute an amount equal to the Deficiency (such contributed amount, a “Deficiency Contribution”), which contribution shall be treated as provided in Section 4.03(b) below as the Non-Defaulting Member may elect in its sole and absolute discretion; or (iii) neither withdraw its contribution nor make a Deficiency Contribution. In the event that the Non-Defaulting Member withdraws the corresponding required contribution that was made by it in connection with such Deficiency or neither withdraws its corresponding required contribution nor makes a Deficiency Contribution, such Non-Defaulting Member shall have no liability for failure to make its required contribution (as applicable) or any Deficiency Contribution. If the election under clause (ii) above is made within the required time period, then the Non-Defaulting Member shall have an additional thirty (30) days after the date the Deficiency was originally required to be contributed to make the Deficiency Contribution. If the Non-Defaulting Member shall fail to deliver a timely Election Notice, it shall be deemed to have delivered an Election Notice making the election described in clause (iii) above.

(b) A Non-Defaulting Member who makes the election under clause (a)(ii) or (a)(iii) above shall have the following options:

(I) it may elect to have the entire amount contributed by it (including both such Non-Defaulting Member’s share of the Additional Capital Contribution and any portion of the Deficiency Contribution it may make) be treated as a contribution (“Adjustment Contribution”) governed by clause (i) below;

(II) it may elect to have any portion of its share of such Additional Capital Contribution and any share of the Deficiency Contribution it makes be treated as an Adjustment Contribution governed by clause (i) below and the remaining portion of such total amount be treated as a loan to the Company (“Deficiency Loan”) governed by clause (ii) below; or

(III) it may elect to have the entire amount contributed by it (including both such Non-Defaulting Member’s share of the Additional Capital Contribution and any portion of the Deficiency Contribution it may make) be treated as a Deficiency Loan governed by clause (ii) below.

Such election shall be made by written notice to the other Member within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (x) delivery of an Election Notice, or (y) expiration of the period for delivery of an Election Notice. If such Non-Defaulting Member fails to deliver such notice within such 30-day period, then such Non-Defaulting Member shall be deemed to have elected to have the entire amount contributed by it in connection with a particular Additional Capital Contribution (including both the Non-Defaulting Member’s share of the Additional Capital Contribution and any portion of the Deficiency Contribution it makes) be treated as a Deficiency Loan under clause (III) above. In addition to the foregoing options, after a Member has elected (or is deemed to have elected) to have an amount advanced by it be treated as a Deficiency Loan, it may thereafter elect to have the outstanding balance of such Deficiency Loan, together with all interest accrued and unpaid thereon through the Conversion Date, be converted to an Adjustment Contribution by delivering written notice (“Conversion Notice”) of such election to the other Member no later than ninety (90) days after the origination of the Deficiency Loan. Such conversion shall take effect on the date (“Conversion Date”) which is thirty (30) days following such Member’s delivery of the Conversion Notice to the other Member. On the Conversion Date, (A) the Deficiency Loan so converted shall be deemed to have been repaid to such Member, and (B) such Non-Defaulting Member shall be deemed to have made an Adjustment Contribution equal to the then outstanding balance of such Deficiency Loan, plus the interest accrued and unpaid thereon. The terms of each Adjustment Contribution and each Deficiency Loan shall be governed by the following provisions:

(i) If a Non-Defaulting Member makes an Adjustment Contribution or timely elects to have a Deficiency Loan converted to an Adjustment Contribution, then the Members’ Percentage Interests shall be recalculated by the Managing Member in good faith subject to review and approval by Walton Street, effective as of the date the Deficiency was required to have been contributed by the Defaulting Member (or, in the case of a Deficiency Loan which is converted to an Adjustment Contribution, on the Conversion Date) as follows: (A) the amount of Capital Contributions made by the Non-Defaulting Member as of such date shall be deemed increased by the amount of any Deficiency Contribution and Deficiency Loan (but only to the extent that such Deficiency Loan is then being converted to an Adjustment

Contribution) made by the Non-Defaulting Member as of such date; and (B) the amount of Capital Contributions made by all Members as of such date shall be deemed increased by the amount of any Deficiency Contribution and Deficiency Loan (but only to the extent that such Deficiency Loan is then being converted to an Adjustment Contribution) made by the Non-Defaulting Member as of such date. Upon the written request of any Member after completion of an adjustment to the Percentage Interest of each Member as provided above, the Managing Member shall confirm such adjustment in writing.

(ii) The terms of each Deficiency Loan shall be as follows: (A) interest shall accrue on the outstanding balance of such Deficiency Loan at the Applicable Rate per annum, compounded quarterly; (B) such Deficiency Loan shall be a loan and not a contribution; (C) no Member shall be entitled to any distributions under Article VI unless and until such Deficiency Loan and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon has been paid in full to the Member making the same, and all such distributions which otherwise would be made under Article IV shall instead be paid directly to the Member making Deficiency Loans that remain outstanding until the Deficiency Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon have been paid in full (any such payments shall first be applied to unpaid interest accruing thereon, and then to principal); (D) the Deficiency Loan shall be due and payable in full upon the earlier of the tenth (10th) anniversary of the origination of the Deficiency Loan or the liquidation of the Company (without any prepayment premium or penalty); (E) the Deficiency Loan shall provide that it may not be accelerated prior to maturity for any reason (other than in connection with a liquidation of the Company), including non-payment, and shall have no financial or other covenants; (F) the Deficiency Loan shall be unsecured; and (G) neither the Company nor any Member shall have any personal liability for the payment of any Deficiency Loan or any interest accrued thereon. In the event that more than one Deficiency Loan remains outstanding, the same shall be paid on a pro rata basis, based on the relative proportions of the outstanding balances of principal and interest with respect thereto. In any instance in which a Member may make a Deficiency Loan, such Member may, at its option, cause an Affiliate of such Member to make such loan on the same terms and conditions as the Member; provided, however, that any such Affiliate shall not have the right to convert such Deficiency Loan to an Adjustment Contribution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Member associated with such Affiliate may elect to have such Deficiency Loan converted to an Adjustment Contribution by timely delivering a Conversion Notice in the manner set forth above. In such event, (x) such Member shall be deemed to have converted the balance of such Deficiency Loan (including all accrued and unpaid interest) into an Adjustment Contribution for the benefit of such Member, and (y) the Deficiency Loan so converted shall be deemed to have been repaid.

(c) Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the other Members would not be entering into this Agreement were it not for (i) the Members agreeing to make the Capital Contributions provided for in Section 4.02, and (ii) the remedy provisions set forth above in this Section 4.03. Each Member acknowledges and agrees that the remedy provisions set forth in this Section 4.03 are fair, just and equitable in all respects.

4.04 Capital Accounts.

A separate Capital Account will be maintained for each Member in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). Consistent therewith, the Capital Account of each Member will be determined and adjusted as follows:

(a) Each Member’s Capital Account will be credited with:

(iii) any other increases required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), without duplication.

(ii) the Member’s distributive share of Net Loss and any items in the nature of expenses or losses specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 6.02; and

(iii) any other decreases required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), without duplication.

The initial Capital Account balance of each Member is set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, which balances have been determined in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). Any expenses borne by a Member for its own account will not increase such Member’s Capital Account, nor affect its share of Profits or Losses. The provisions of this Section 4.04 and any other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts have been included in this Agreement to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with those provisions.

(a) Net Loss shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts and Target Accounts for such year; provided, however, that no portion of the Net Loss for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member whose Target Account is greater than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such taxable year; and provided, further, that in no event shall an allocation under this Section 6.01(a) be made to Walton Street to the extent that it would cause Walton Street to be allocated a percentage of overall partnership loss within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(c)(1) for the taxable year lower than its Fractions Percentage except to the extent that (i) such allocation is required to reverse a prior allocation of Net Profit to a Member in excess of such Member’s Percentage Interest, and is in the same proportion as such prior allocation, (ii) the result is to allocate losses or deductions to one or more Members who bear a disproportionately large share (relative to each Member’s Percentage Interest but in accordance with the distribution provisions of Section 6.03) of the economic burden of such losses or deduction if, taking into account all of the facts, circumstances and information (including bona fide financial projections), such losses or deductions had a low likelihood of occurring and such allocation otherwise satisfies the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(g), or (iii) such allocation otherwise is disregarded in determining whether Walton Street satisfies the “fractions rule” set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(b)(1)(i) or otherwise does not cause the allocations set forth in this Agreement to fail to qualify as “permitted allocations” within the meaning of Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(b) Net Profit shall be allocated among the Members so as to reduce, proportionately, the differences between their respective Target Accounts and Partially Adjusted Capital Accounts for such year; provided, however, that no portion of the Net Profit for any taxable year shall be allocated to a Member whose Target Account is less than or equal to its Partially Adjusted Capital Account for such taxable year, and provided further that in no event shall an allocation under this Section 6.01(b) be made to Walton Street to the extent it would cause Walton Street to be allocated a percentage of overall partnership income within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(c)(1) for the taxable year in excess of its Fractions Percentage except to the extent such allocation is disregarded in determining whether Walton Street satisfies the “fractions rule” set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(b)(1)(i) or otherwise does not cause the allocations set forth in this Agreement to fail to qualify as “permitted allocations” within the meaning of Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no allocation of Net Profit shall be made to Walton Street in excess of its Fractions Percentage, and no allocation of Net Loss shall be made to the Members other than Walton Street in excess of its

respective Fractions Percentage, in either case, except as otherwise permitted in accordance with the “fractions rule” under Section 514(c)(9) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, as determined by Walton Street.

6.02 Allocations and Compliance with Section 704(b).

The following special allocations shall, except as otherwise provided, be made in the following order:

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain or in any Member Minimum Gain during any taxable year or other period, prior to any other allocation pursuant hereto, such Member shall be specially allocated items of Profit for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount and manner required by Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-2(f) or 1.704-2(i)(4). The items of Profit to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2.

(b) Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated (as nearly as possible) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2 to the Members, pro rata in proportion to their respective Fractions Percentage.

(c) Any Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable year or other period shall be allocated to the Member that made or guaranteed or is otherwise liable with respect to the loan to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with principles under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i).

(d) Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) which causes or increases a negative balance in his or its Capital Account shall be allocated items of Profit sufficient to eliminate such increase or negative balance caused thereby, as quickly as possible, to the extent required by such Treasury Regulation.

(e) No allocation of an item of Loss shall be made to any Member if, as a result of such allocation, such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Any such disallowed allocation shall be made to the Members entitled to receive such allocation under Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. If any item of Loss is reallocated under this subsection 6.02(e), subsequent allocations of Profit and Loss (and items thereof) shall be made so that, to the extent possible, the net amount allocated under this subsection 6.02(e) equals the amount that would have been allocated to each Member if no reallocation had occurred under this subsection 6.02(e).

(f) For purposes of Section 752 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, excess nonrecourse liabilities (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)) shall be allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective Fractions Percentage.

(g) The allocations contained in Sections 6.02(a), 6.02(c), 6.02(d) and 6.02(e) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1 and 1.704-2. The Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profits, Losses, Net Profit and Net Loss and other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Members so that to the extent possible, the aggregate of (i) the allocations made to each Member under this Agreement other than the Regulatory Allocations and (ii) the Regulatory Allocations made to each Member shall equal the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member had the Regulatory Allocations not occurred, so as to achieve the intended results, as expressed in Section 6.04(b), regarding the targeted allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses (after taking into account the allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.02 and the application of Section 6.04(b)). The Members shall take account of the fact that certain of the Regulatory Allocations will occur at a period in the future for purposes of applying this Section 6.02(g).

(h) To the extent the restrictions on certain allocations set forth in the last proviso in Sections 6.01(a) or 6.01(b), or in 6.01(c), actually affect the allocation of Net Profits or Net Loss or other items of income, gain, loss and deduction, such restriction shall be taken into account in making allocations in future periods so that to the extent possible and subject to such restrictions, the cumulative allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses to each Member equal the amount that would have been allocated such Member without such provisos, so as to achieve the intended results, as expressed in Section 6.04(b), regarding the targeted allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses (after taking into account the allocations made pursuant to this Section 6.02 and the application of Section 6.04(b)).

(i) The provisions of this Article VI shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the Members’ intent that the allocations contained herein are “permitted allocations” under Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

6.03 Distributions.

(a) Except as provided in Section 6.04 and subject to payment of any outstanding amounts due under any Deficiency Loan, the Company shall, as determined by the Members as a Major Decision, make distributions of Net Cash Flow to the Members in the following manner and order of priority:

(i) First: Each distribution of Net Cash Flow shall be distributed, in preference and priority to any other distribution of Net Cash Flow, to the Members in proportion to their then respective Percentage Interests, until Walton Street has achieved an aggregate Internal Rate of Return of twelve percent (12%);

(ii) Second: The balance, if any, of such distribution shall be distributed as follows: (A) ten percent (10%) of the balance of such distribution to SHR, and (B) the remainder to the Members in proportion to their then respective Percentage Interests, until Walton Street has achieved an aggregate Internal Rate of Return of fifteen percent (15%); and

(iii) Third: The balance, if any, of such distribution shall be distributed as follows: (A) twenty percent (20%) of the balance of such distribution to SHR, and (B) the remainder to the Members in proportion to their then respective Percentage Interests.

(b) The Members acknowledge and agree that, solely for purposes of this Section 6.03, any distributions of Net Cash Flow (as defined in the operating agreement of Walton/SHR FPH Holdings, LLC (the “Parallel Lessee Operating Agreement”)) to Walton Street and/or SHR (or its Affiliate) by Walton/SHR FPH Holdings, LLC under the Parallel Lessee Operating Agreement shall be deemed to have been distributed to Walton Street and/or SHR (as applicable) under this Section 6.03.

6.04 Distributions in Liquidation.

(a) Upon the dissolution and winding–up of the Company, the proceeds of sale and other assets of the Company distributable to the Members under Section 11.02(c)(iii) shall be distributed, not later than the latest time specified for such distributions pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the Members in proportion to and in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances (after adjustment to reflect the allocations pursuant to this Article VI including Section 6.04(b)).

(b) The parties intend that the allocations made pursuant to this Article VI shall produce final Capital Account balances of the Members that will permit liquidating distributions that are made in accordance with final Capital Account balances to be made in a manner identical to the order of priorities set forth in Section 6.03(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary (except to the extent inconsistent with Section 704(b) of the Code or compliance with the “fractions rule” set forth in Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) to the extent that the allocations made pursuant to this Agreement would fail to produce such final Capital Account balances as of the close of any taxable year of the Company (assuming that all assets of the Company at the close of such year are sold for their adjusted tax basis or for their adjusted Book Basis for assets that have been revalued prior to that time): Net Profit and Net Loss of the Company for the current taxable year and future taxable years (or items of Profit and Loss for such years) shall be reallocated among the Members as necessary to produce such result (or, to the extent it is not possible to achieve such result with allocations of items of Profit and Loss for the current year and future years, for prior open taxable years). For purposes of applying this Section 6.04, a Member’s Capital Account shall be deemed to be increased by its remaining share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain as of the close of such year.

(c) With the election of the Managing Member, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Members under the preceding paragraph may be distributed to a trust reasonably established, for a reasonable period of time, for the benefit of the Members for the purposes of liquidating Company assets, collecting amounts owed to the Company, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company arising out of or in connection with the Company. The assets of any trust established under this

Section 6.04 will be distributed to the Members from time to time by the trustee of the trust upon approval by the Members as a Major Decision in the same proportions as the amount distributed to the trust by the Company would otherwise have been distributed to the Members under this Agreement.

6.05 Tax Matters.

The Members intend for the Company to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. The Members shall make all applicable elections, determinations and other decisions under the Code and applicable Treasury Regulations, including, without limitation, the deductibility of a particular item of expense and the positions to be taken on the Company’s tax return, and shall approve the settlement or compromise of all audit matters raised by the Internal Revenue Service affecting the Members generally. The Members shall each take reporting positions on their respective federal, state and local income tax returns consistent with the positions determined for the Company by the Members. The Managing Member shall cause all federal, state and local income and other tax returns to be timely filed by the Company and shall be authorized to execute such returns; provided that any state and federal tax returns to be filed by the Managing Member shall be subject to the approval of the other Members, it being understood that the other Members shall have twenty-one (21) calendar days after receipt of copies of such tax returns from the Managing Member to approve or disapprove of such federal and state tax returns and any failure to do so within such period shall be deemed a waiver of any approval rights with respect to such returns.

6.06 Tax Matters Partner.

The Managing Member shall be the tax matters partner within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code and, subject to Section 6.05, shall exercise all rights, obligations and duties of a tax matters partner under the Code; provided, however, that the tax matters partner shall notify the Members of the status of any proceeding before the IRS, other governmental agency, court or administrative body and shall provide copies of any pleadings, briefs, petition, submissions and correspondence to each other Member, shall not enter into any settlement agreement which binds another Member pursuant to Code § 6224(c)(3) without the express written consent of such Member, and shall not enter into any settlement pursuant to Rule 248(a) or (b) of the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the United States Tax Court without the express written consent of each other Member.

6.07 Section 704(c).

In accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, deduction and tax depreciation with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company, or with respect to any property which has a Book Basis different than its adjusted tax basis, shall, solely for federal income tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take into account any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such property to the Company and the Book Basis of such property, in accordance with Section 4.04. Any elections, accounting conventions or other decisions relating to such allocations shall be made by the Managing Member in a manner that (i) reasonably reflects the purposes and intention of this Agreement, and (ii) complies with Code Sections 704(b) and

704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. For such allocations, the Managing Member may select any method permitted in the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704(c) with respect to such allocations, including the “traditional method”, the “traditional method with curative allocations” and the “remedial allocation method”.

6.08 Withholding.

The Company shall be permitted to withhold from distributions all amounts required to be withheld pursuant to Section 1446 of the Code or any other provision of federal, state, or local tax law, and such amounts shall be treated as amounts actually distributed to the Members for all purposes under this Agreement. If the Managing Member reasonably determines that the Company has insufficient liquid assets to satisfy such withholding obligation, the Member as to which withholding applies shall contribute cash to the Company in an amount sufficient to satisfy such withholding obligation.

6.09 No Tax Confidentiality.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 13.14, each Member (and each employee, agent or representative of each Member) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the Company and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Company relating to such tax treatment and tax structure except to the extent maintaining such confidentiality is necessary to comply with any applicable U.S. federal or state securities laws.

6.10 Certain Transactions.

The Members shall not knowingly cause the Company to engage directly or indirectly in a transaction that is a “listed transaction” as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2). If any Member becomes aware that the Company has engaged directly or indirectly in a transaction that is a listed transaction or a “prohibited reportable transaction” as defined by Code Section 4965(e), it shall promptly notify each of the other Members.

The Managing Member will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause

The Managing Member will use commercially reasonable effort to deliver, within sixty (60) days after the end of each fiscal year, a Form K-1 for each Member or the taxable income and loss allocable to each Member for the prior twelve months ended that fiscal year broken out by Form K-1 line item.

8.06 Budgets and Operating Plan.

Subject to Section 7.01(b), the Managing Member shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at the expense of the Company, a preliminary estimated Budget for the period through December 31, 2011 and an Operating Plan for the Company (the “Initial Budget and Operating Plan”). Subject to Section 7.01(b), the Managing Member shall revise and update, or cause to be revised and updated, at the expense of the Company, the Initial Budget and Operating Plan from time to time which will set forth all anticipated income, operating expenses, and capital expenditures of the Company, together with an exit valuation/strategy and projected quarterly/annual capital contributions and capital returns, and, in any event, shall be consistent with any preliminary figures previously provided to the Managing Member. Thereafter, subject to Section 7.01(b), the

Managing Member shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, at the expense of the Company, the Budget and Operating Plan annually at least sixty (60) calendar days prior to the end of each fiscal year with respect to the following fiscal year, together with five (5) year forward projections. In formulating the comprehensive Budget and Operating Plan, to the extent reasonably feasible at the time of preparation thereof, the Managing Member will develop, or cause to be developed, at the expense of the Company, proposed strategies regarding (i) plans for leasing, financing, sale and rehabilitation of any real property and proposed reductions to Expenses and other Company costs and expenses and increases in revenues, (ii) preparation and release of all promotional and advertising relating to, and a marketing plan for, the Company Property or concerning the Company, (iii) terms for any proposed sale or disposition of any Company Property, or acquisition of additional Company Property, and (iv) selection of legal counsel, accountants, appraisers and other consultants for the Company to efficiently implement the Budget and Operating Plan. The Managing Member shall make recommendations, or cause recommendations to be made, at the expense of the Company, to the extent it deems appropriate regarding the amendment, modification, alteration, change, cancellation, or prepayment of any indebtedness evidenced by any mortgage loan presently or hereafter affecting any Company Property, and procurement of title insurance and other insurance for the Company, or decrease or vary the insurance carried by or on behalf of the Company and any other matters affecting the Company’s business. The Managing Member may review any Budget and Operating Plan and, subject to Section 7.01(b), make such amendments or modifications thereto as it determines appropriate or necessary in its discretion based on the actual operating results for the Company Property.

8.07 Accounts.

All funds of the Company shall be deposited in such checking accounts, savings accounts, time deposits, or certificates of deposit in the name of the Company (or applicable Acquisition Vehicle) or shall be invested in the name of the Company (or applicable Acquisition Vehicle), in such manner as shall be designated by the Managing Member. Company funds shall not be commingled with those of any other person or entity. Company funds shall be used only for the business of the Company.

8.08 REIT Status.

(a) Even though the Company will not be taxed as a “real estate investment trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company shall, for so long as Strategic REIT owns a direct or indirect beneficial interest in the Company, operate (and shall structure its investment activities, operations and any Subsidiaries or Acquisition Vehicles) in a manner that would permit the Company to comply with all of the requirements necessary to enable the Company to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company shall provide all information reasonably requested by Strategic REIT that is necessary for Strategic REIT to satisfy its filing obligations with the Internal Revenue Service and any other federal, state or local governmental authority which requires reports or filings regarding the status of the Strategic REIT as a “real estate investment trust”. In addition, the Company will provide such information reasonably requested by Strategic REIT that is necessary for Strategic

REIT to satisfy its reporting obligation with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other federal, state or local governmental authority which requires Strategic REIT to make reports or filings due to its status as a publicly-traded corporation. Nothing in this Section 8.08(a) shall affect, impede or otherwise limit any Member’s right to cause a Sale of Company Property as provided in Section 9.05 To the extent that any of the foregoing information has been delivered to the Asset Manager in accordance with the Asset Management Agreement, the Company’s obligations to deliver financial or other information under this Section 8.08(a) shall be deemed satisfied.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any otherwise permitted action which may, or is required to, be taken, by the Company, any Acquisition Vehicle or a Member under this Agreement would, in the commercially reasonable judgment of SHR, jeopardize Strategic REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code (a “Prohibited Result”), SHR may cause the Company or the affected Members to restructure or modify such action to the extent reasonably necessary to prevent the Prohibited Result, provided such modification or restructuring (i) does not affect the economic interests and other rights of the Members under this Agreement, (ii) does not result in Walton Street no longer satisfying the “fractions rule” set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.514(c)-2(b)(1)(i) and (iii) does not affect, impede or otherwise limit any Member’s right to cause a Sale of Company Property as provided in Section 9.05.

ARTICLE IX

TRANSFER OF INTERESTS

9.01 No Transfer.

Except as expressly permitted in Section 9.02, no Member may sell, assign, give, hypothecate, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer (“Transfer”) all or any portion of its Interest, whether directly or indirectly, without the written consent of the other Members. Any Transfer in contravention of this Article IX shall be null and void. No Member, without the prior written consent of the other Members, shall resign from the Company except as a result of such Member’s involuntary dissolution or final adjudication as a bankrupt or in connection with a Transfer permitted by this Article IX. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions of this Article IX shall apply with respect to, or be deemed to restrict, limit or encumber, any Corporate Transaction Transfer.

9.02 Permitted Transfers.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Member may from time to time and in its sole discretion without the consent of any other Member, Transfer (directly or indirectly) all or any portion of its direct or indirect interest in the Company to its Affiliate; provided, however, that (i) in connection with any such Transfer, the transferring Member must also transfer, or cause its Affiliate to transfer, to the entity receiving such transferring Member’s Interest or its Affiliate, an equivalent interest in Walton/SHR FPH Holdings, LLC, and (ii) a Transfer (in whole or in part) by Walton Street to another fund Controlled by Persons that Control Walton Street shall not be deemed to be a Transfer permitted under this Section 9.02(a) unless the all of the cash or other consideration paid by such fund is

invested into the Company as Additional Capital Contributions by Walton Street, such fund or both, as the case may be.

(b) Any permitted Transfer under Section 9.02(a) of a direct interest in the Company shall not relieve the transferor of any of its obligations prior to such Transfer. The parties hereto agree to amend the transfer provisions of Article IX if any Member reasonably determines that such amendment is necessary for the Company to be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Nothing contained in this Article IX shall prohibit a Transfer indirectly of any interest in the Company if a direct Transfer would otherwise be permitted under this Section 9.02. Subject to Section 9.03, any transferee pursuant to this Section 9.02 shall become a Member of the Company. The provisions of this Section 9.02 will not apply to or be deemed to authorize or permit any collateral transfer of, or grant of a security interest in, a Member’s interest in the Company, or in Company Property (which transfer or grant shall be subject to the other provisions of this Agreement). In connection with any permitted Transfer under Section 9.02(a), each Member agrees, upon the reasonable request of the transferring Member, to provide the transferring Member (and its permitted transferee) reasonable access to the Company’s books and records and such additional information concerning the Company, FSP Operating Lessee, the Acquisition Vehicles and the Hotel as reasonably requested from time to time.

9.03 Transferees.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no transferee of all or any portion of any Interest shall be admitted as a Member unless (a) such Interest is transferred in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, (b) such transferee shall have furnished evidence of satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9.02 reasonably satisfactory to the remaining Members, and (c) such transferee shall have executed and delivered to the Company such instruments as the remaining Members reasonably deem necessary or desirable to effectuate the admission of such transferee as a Member and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Interest. At the request of the remaining Members, each such transferee shall also cause to be delivered to the Company, at the transferee’s sole cost and expense, a favorable opinion of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that (i) such transferee has the legal right, power and capacity to own the Interest proposed to be transferred, (ii) if applicable, such Transfer does not violate any provision of any loan commitment or any mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument encumbering all or any portion of the Company Property, (iii) such Transfer will not cause an increase in the amount of UBTI allocated to any direct or indirect partner or member in or other beneficial owner of Walton Street, and (iv) such Transfer does not violate any federal or state securities laws and will not cause the Company to become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As promptly as practicable after the admission of any Person as a Member, the books and records of the Company shall be changed to reflect such admission. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with any Transfer of any Interest and, if applicable, the admission of any transferee as a Member shall be paid by such transferee.

9.04 Section 754 Election.

In the event of a Transfer of all or part of the Interest of a Member, at the request of the transferee or if in the best interests of the Company (as determined by the Members as a Major Decision), the Company shall elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of Company Property as provided by Sections 734 and 743 of the Code, and any cost of such election or cost of administering or accounting for such election shall be at the sole cost and expense of the requesting transferee.

9.05 Right of Sale.

(a) At any time after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, each Member shall have the right to cause a Sale of Company Property without the consent or approval of any other Member, subject to the right of first offer procedure contemplated in this Section 9.05. If a Member desires to exercise such right, such Member (the “Selling Member”), shall provide the other Member (the “Non-Selling Member”) written notice (a “Proposed Sale Notice”) which shall set forth the gross anticipated sale price, the allocation of closing costs, including any projected broker fees and transfer taxes (which shall be deemed to be in accordance with local custom for sales of similar properties in the city of Scottsdale, Arizona if not specified) and any other material economic terms of a hypothetical Sale of Company Property (the foregoing terms, the “Property Sale Terms”), and shall include any term sheets, indications of interest, valuations, appraisals, investment banking studies, opinions, broker analysis and the like (if any) received by the Selling Member with respect to such proposed Sale of Company Property or in connection with any marketing process initiated by such Selling Member. At any time within the thirty (30) day period immediately following the date the Non-Selling Member receives the Proposed Sale Notice, the Non-Selling Member shall have the right (the “Non-Selling Member Option”), exercisable in its sole discretion by delivery of written notice (the “Sale Election Notice”) to the Selling Member, to:

(i) approve the sale as set forth in the Proposed Sale Notice and authorize the Selling Member to proceed with the Sale of Company Property to any Person, subject to the requirements of Section 9.05(c), it being understood that both Members shall reasonably cooperate with any such sale process and shall take all reasonable and lawful actions that are necessary or appropriate to consummate the Sale of Company Property in accordance with customary institutional sales practices;

(ii) elect to purchase the Company Property for the purchase price (the “Company Property Purchase Price”) and on such other terms set forth in the Property Sale Notice; or

(iii) elect to purchase the Selling Member’s Interest for a purchase price (the “Selling Member Interest Price”) equal to the amount which the Selling Member would have received under this Agreement if the Company Property were sold pursuant to the Property Sale Terms and the Company had been dissolved and wound up following such sale and the net proceeds of such sale and other assets of the Company had been distributed to the Members in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to liquidation and dissolution.

(b) If the Non-Selling Member does not deliver the Sale Election Notice to the Selling Member within the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 9.05(a), or the Non-Selling Member affirmatively waives the Non-Selling Member Option, then in either such event, the Non-Selling Member Option shall be deemed waived by the Non-Selling Member and the Selling Member may proceed to complete the Sale of Company Property to any Person; provided, however, that if (i) the actual purchase price and other terms of such sale are not as favorable, in all material respects, to the transferor as the terms contained in the Property Sale Terms, or (ii) a closing of such sale does not occur within one (1) year after the earlier to occur of (A) the expiration of the thirty (30) day period set forth in Section 9.05(a), and (B) the delivery by the Non-Selling Member of an affirmative waiver of the Non-Selling Member Option, then the Selling Member may not thereafter consummate the Sale of Company Property without again complying with the applicable procedures set forth in this Section 9.05. For the purposes of the foregoing, such Sale of Company Property shall be deemed “not as favorable, in all material respects” if the gross purchase price shall be less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price set forth in the Proposed Sale Notice or if the other material economic terms of such Sale of Company Property, when taken in the aggregate, are less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Property Sale Terms.

(c) If the Non-Selling Member timely elects to purchase the Company Property or the Selling Member’s Interest pursuant to Section 9.05(a), then in order for such Sale Election Notice to be effective, the Non-Selling Member shall, contemporaneously with the delivery of such Sale Election Notice, deposit with a reputable title insurance company or escrow agent selected by the Non-Selling Member a deposit (the “Sale Deposit”) equal to five percent (5%) of the Selling Member Interest Price. To the extent the Non-Selling Member delivers the Sale Election Notice and pays the Sale Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof, then (i) if the closing of the purchase of the Company Property or the Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable, pursuant thereto fails to occur due to any default, breach or failure on the part of the Non-Selling Member, then the Selling Member may retain the Sale Deposit as liquidated damages with respect thereto, it being agreed that in such instance the actual damages would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and shall have all rights and remedies at law or in equity including (without limitation) the right to specific performance, and (ii) if the closing of the purchase of the Company Property or the Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable, pursuant thereto fails to occur due to any default, breach or failure on the part of Selling Member, then the Non-Selling Member shall receive a refund of the Sale Deposit and shall have all rights and remedies at law or in equity including (without limitation) the right to specific performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, a default by the Non-Selling Member in closing a transaction pursuant to a Sale Election Notice (absent any default by the Selling Member with respect thereto) shall be deemed a waiver by the Non-Selling Member of the Non-Selling Member Option as to any and all subsequent transactions pursuant to Section 9.05(a) by the Selling Member thereafter and Section 9.05(b) shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect with respect thereto.

(d) If the Non-Selling Member delivers a Sale Election Notice and pays the Sale Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company, the Selling Member and the Non-Selling Member shall close the purchase of the Company Property or the Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable, on the terms set forth in this Section 9.05(d). The closing of any purchase

by the Non-Selling Member under this Section 9.05 will be held at the Company’s principal office and shall take place on the closing date set forth in the Sale Election Notice (such date to be not less than fifteen (15) and not more than sixty (60) days after the date such Sale Election Notice is delivered to the Selling Member subject to receipt of any required consent from the City of Scottsdale pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Ground Lease). Any purchase of the Company Property or the Selling Member’s Interest in the Company pursuant to this Section 9.05(d) shall be on the terms set forth in the Sale Election Notice, for the Company Property Purchase Price or the Selling Member Interest Price, as applicable, for all cash, with no representations or warranties by the Selling Member; provided, however, the Selling Member shall warrant and represent that (i) it is the sole owner of the Selling Member’s Interest in the Company and holds the same free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances (other than such liens and encumbrances which are not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and which will be terminated, released or otherwise removed on or prior to the closing date), and (ii) such purchase has been authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Selling Member and any applicable Affiliates and it has the right and power to sell, exchange, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the Company Property or the Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable, and (iii) all consents required for a sale of the Company Property or the Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable, have been obtained. On the closing date, the Sale Deposit shall be credited against the Company Property Purchase Price or the Selling Member Interest Price, as applicable, and the Non-Selling Member shall pay the balance of the Company Property Purchase Price for the Company Property, or the Selling Member Interest Price for the Selling Member’s Interest, as applicable. All transfer, stamp and recording taxes imposed on the transfer, and all other closing costs shall be allocated as set forth in the Proposed Sale Notice. Upon the closing of the purchase under this Section 9.05, the Non-Selling Member shall execute and deliver to the Selling Member an agreement in mutually acceptable form providing in effect that the Non-Selling Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the Selling Member from and after the closing date for all costs, expenses, liabilities and obligations of the Selling Member (and its Affiliates) under any guarantee and/or indemnity made by the Selling Member (or any of its Affiliates) in connection with any financing.

(e) In connection with the closing of any Sale of the Company Property with respect to which the Non-Selling Member waives or is deemed to have waived any particular Non-Selling Member Option, then the Non-Selling Member, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a written request by the Selling Member, shall deliver to the Selling Member and the prospective purchaser of the Company Property identified by the Selling Member a statement, duly executed on behalf of the Non-Selling Member, stating that such Non-Selling Member Option has been waived by the Non-Selling Member.

ARTICLE X

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

10.01 Exculpation.

No Member, general or limited partner of any Member, shareholder or member or other holder of an equity interest of any Member or manager, officer or director of any of the foregoing, shall be liable to the Company or to any other Member for monetary damages for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising from any act or omission performed or omitted by it and arising out

of or in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs; provided, however, in the case of a Member or related Person, such act or omission was not attributable to such Member’s or Person’s fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. No general or limited partner of any Member, shareholder, member or other holder of an equity interest in such Member or manager, officer of director of any of the foregoing shall be personally liable for the performance of any such Member’s obligations of this Agreement, but the foregoing shall not relieve any partner or member of any Member from its obligations to such Member.

10.02 Indemnification.

(a) The Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Member and each general or limited partner of any Member or such Member’s Affiliate, shareholder, member or other holder of any equity interest in such Member or its Affiliate, or any manager, officer or director of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any losses, claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel) and causes of action imposed on, incurred by, asserted against or to which such Indemnitee may otherwise become subject by reason of or in connection with any matter arising out of or incidental to any act performed or omitted to be performed by any such Indemnitee in connection with this Agreement or the Company’s business or affairs; provided, however, in the case of a Member or related Indemnitee, such act or omission was not attributable to such Indemnitee’s fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Any indemnity under this Section 10.02 shall be paid solely out of and to the extent of Company assets and shall not be a personal obligation of any Member and in no event will any Member be required, or permitted without the consent of all of the Members, to contribute additional capital under Section 4.02 to enable the Company to satisfy any obligation under this Section 10.02. All judgments against the Company and the Members, or any one or more thereof, wherein such Member (or Members) is entitled to indemnification, must first be satisfied from Company assets before the Members shall be responsible therefor.

(b) The Company and the other Members shall be indemnified and held harmless by each Member from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, costs, damages, expenses and causes of action of any nature whatsoever arising out of or attributable to (i) the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Member, (ii) the breach by the Company of any of its representations and warranties made under any purchase, loan or other agreement entered into in connection with the acquisition of Company Property, which breach was the result of information or matters relating to such Member, (iii) the breach by such Member of any of the Transaction Documents, or (iv) any denial of an insurance claim by the Company based on an intentional misstatement or intentional withholding of information by any Member.

(c) Expenses incurred by an Indemnitee entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.02 may be paid by the Company in advance of a final disposition to the extent that such advance payment is authorized by the Members as a Major Decision. Receipt by the Managing Member of an undertaking by such Indemnitee, in form and substance acceptable to

the Managing Member in its reasonable discretion, to repay such advance payment if such Indemnitee ultimately is not entitled to indemnification under this Section 10.02 is a condition precedent to the Members’ approval of any advance payment under this Section 10.02(c).

(d) The Company (as directed by the Managing Member) may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Indemnitee against any claim asserted against such Indemnitee, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such Indemnitee against liability pursuant to this Section 10.02.

(e) The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive for a period of four years from the date of dissolution of the Company, provided that, if at the end of such period there are any actions, proceedings or investigations then pending, any Indemnitee may so notify the Company and the other Members at such time (which notice shall include a brief description of each such action, proceeding or investigation and the liabilities asserted therein) and the provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive with respect to each such action, proceeding or investigation set forth in such notice (or any related action, proceeding or investigation based upon the same or similar claim) until such date that such action, proceeding or investigation is finally resolved.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the Company or any Member under this Section 10.02 shall (i) be in addition to any liability which the Company or such Member may otherwise have and (ii) inure to the benefit of such Indemnitee, its Affiliates and their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates and any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Persons.

ARTICLE XI

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

11.01 Dissolution.

(a) The Company shall be dissolved and its business wound up upon the earliest to occur of any of the following events (unless the majority in interest of the remaining Members vote to continue the life of the Company upon the occurrence of such an event):

(i) the sale, condemnation or other disposition of all Company Property and the receipt of all consideration therefor; or

(ii) the written determination of the Members to terminate the Company.

(b) Without limitation on, but subject to, the other provisions hereof, the assignment of all or any part of a Member’s Interest permitted hereunder will not result in the dissolution of the Company. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Member agrees that, without the consent of the other Members, any Member may not withdraw from or cause a voluntary dissolution of the Company. In the event any Member withdraws

from or causes a voluntary dissolution of the Company in contravention of this Agreement, such withdrawal or the causing of a voluntary dissolution shall not affect such Member’s liability for obligations of the Company.

11.02 Termination.

In all cases of dissolution of the Company, the business of the Company shall be wound up and the Company terminated as promptly as practicable thereafter, and each of the following shall be accomplished:

(a) The Liquidating Member shall cause to be prepared a statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company as of the date of dissolution, a copy of which statement shall be furnished to all of the Members.

(b) The Company Property shall be liquidated by the Liquidating Member as promptly as possible, but in an orderly and businesslike and commercially reasonable manner and subject to the provisions of the Operating Plan then in effect or a liquidating plan approved by the Members. The Liquidating Member may distribute Company Property in kind only with the consent of all of the Members.

(c) The proceeds of sale and all other assets of the Company shall be applied and distributed as follows and in the following order of priority:

(i) First to the payment of (A) the debts and liabilities of the Company (including payment of all outstanding Deficiency Loans and any outstanding amounts due on any indebtedness encumbering the Company Property, or any part thereof) and (B) the expenses of liquidation.

(ii) Second, to the setting up of any reserves which the Liquidating Member and the Members (as a Major Decision) shall determine to be reasonably necessary for contingent, unliquidated or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Company or any Member arising out of or in connection with the Company. Such reserves may, in the discretion of the Liquidating Member, be paid over to a national bank or national title company selected by it and authorized to conduct business as an escrow agent to be held by such bank or title company as escrow agent for the purposes of disbursing such reserves to satisfy the liabilities and obligations described above, and at the expiration of such period as the Liquidating Member may reasonably deem advisable, distributing any remaining balance as provided in Section 11.02(c)(iii); provided, however, that, to the extent that it shall have been necessary, by reason of applicable law or regulation, to create any reserves prior to any and all distributions which would otherwise have been made under Section 11.02(c)(i) and, by reason thereof, a distribution under Section 11.02(c)(i) has not been made, then any balance remaining shall first be distributed pursuant to Section 11.02(c)(i).

(iii) Thereafter, the balance, if any, to the Members in accordance with Section 6.04.

11.03 Liquidating Member.

The Liquidating Member is hereby irrevocably appointed as the true and lawful attorney in the name, place and stead of each of the Members, such appointment being coupled with an interest, to make, execute, sign, acknowledge and file with respect to the Company all papers which shall be necessary or desirable to effect the dissolution and termination of the company in accordance with the provisions of this Article XI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Member, upon the request of the Liquidating Member or the Managing Member, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver all such documents, certificates and other instruments as the Liquidating Member or the Managing Member shall reasonably request to effectuate the proper dissolution and termination of the Company, including the winding up of the business of the Company.

11.04 Claims of the Members.

Members and former Members shall look solely to the Company’s assets for the return of their Capital Contributions, and if the assets of the Company remaining after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company are insufficient to return such Capital Contributions, the Members and former Members shall have no recourse against the Company or any other Member.

ARTICLE XII

DEFAULT BY MEMBER

12.01 Events of Default.

For the purposes of this Agreement, subject to the last sentence of this Section 12.01, an “Event of Default” shall exist with respect to a Member (such Member, a “Breaching Member”) if and so long as either:

(a) such Member or its Affiliates shall violate any term, breach any provision or default in the performance of any covenant applicable to such Member as set forth in this Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement, and (i) such violation, breach or default causes material damage or loss to the Company, any of its Members or any of their respective Affiliates, and (ii) such violation, breach or default is not cured (including without limitation, by the Breaching Member reimbursing the Company for the resulting material damage or loss) within a Reasonable Period; or

(b) such Member or its Affiliates shall fail to pay, as and when due and payable hereunder, all or any portion of any material amount (other than a Capital Contribution) that it is obligated to pay either to the Company or to any other Member, by way of reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise, pursuant to this Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement, and such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice thereof shall have been given to the Breaching Member by the Company or by any non-Breaching Member (any such failure being referred to herein as a “Monetary Default”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.01 or any other provision herein, a failure by any Member to make any Additional Capital Contribution to the extent required or

requested hereunder shall not constitute an Event of Default by such Member and the sole consequences of such failure shall be as set forth in Section 4.02 or Section 4.03, as applicable.

12.02 Effect of Event of Default.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any Event of Default by a Breaching Member, the following provisions shall apply:

(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Company and/or any Member that is not a Breaching Member shall have the right, upon giving the Breaching Member at least five (5) Business Days prior written notice of such election, to pursue any right or remedy available to it at law or in equity.

(b) With respect to any Monetary Default, the Company and/or any non-Breaching Member shall have the right to (i) require that the outstanding amount be withheld from and reduce all distributions or other amounts payable to such Breaching Member pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement and be paid directly by the Company on behalf of the Breaching Member from any and all distributions of Net Cash Flow, proceeds of liquidation or any other amounts that would otherwise be distributable or payable to such Breaching Member (or its Affiliates) with respect to its Interest, prior to any distribution or payment thereof pursuant to this Agreement or the Reimbursement Agreement, and/or (ii) seek from the Breaching Member payment of the outstanding amount by all appropriate judicial and/or non judicial proceedings, in each case until such time as the Monetary Default has been cured. Any amounts so withheld and applied to cure a Monetary Default pursuant to this Section 12.02 shall be treated as amounts distributed or paid to the Breaching Member pursuant to Sections 6.03 or other applicable provision hereof for all purposes under this Agreement.

(c) Failure by the Company or any non-Breaching Member to give any notice of an Event of Default as specified under this Agreement, or any failure to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms of this Agreement, shall not constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or of any of the terms of this Agreement. No Event of Default shall be waived, nor shall any duty to be performed, be altered or modified, except by written instrument. One or more waivers or failure to give notice of an Event of Default shall not be considered as a waiver of a subsequent or continuing Event of Default of the same covenant or obligation.

(d) The rights granted in this Section 12.02 shall not be deemed to be an exclusive remedy of the Company and any non-Breaching Member, but all other rights and remedies, legal and equitable, shall be available to it, with the exception of any action which has the effect of terminating this Agreement.

13.06 Pronouns.

All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, and neuter, singular and plural, as the identity of the party or parties may require.

13.07 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, except as otherwise provided herein, their respective executors, administrators, legal representatives, heirs, successors and assigns.

13.08 Extension Not a Waiver.

No delay or omission in the exercise of any power, remedy or right herein provided or otherwise available to a Member or the Company shall impair or affect the right of such Member or the Company thereafter to exercise the same.

13.10 Recalculation of Interest.

If any applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to deem any distribution, contribution, payment or other amount received by any Member or the Company under this Agreement as interest and so as to render any such amount in excess of the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of the Members and the Company that all amounts in excess of the highest lawful rate or amount theretofore collected be credited against any other distributions, contributions, payments or other amounts to be paid by the recipient of the excess amount or refunded to the appropriate Person, and the provisions of this Agreement immediately be deemed reformed, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the payment of the fullest amount otherwise required hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid that are judicially determined to be interest shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the term of such obligation so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such obligation does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted under applicable law.

13.11 Severability.

In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement or any application thereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and other application thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and all prior agreements relative hereto which are not contained herein are terminated.

The parties agree that no Member shall issue any press release or otherwise publicize or disclose the terms of this Agreement or the proposed terms of any acquisition of the Initial Company Property, without the consent of each of the other Members, except as such disclosure may be made in the course of normal reporting practices by any Member to its members, shareholders or partners or as otherwise required by law.

13.14 Confidentiality.

(a) The terms of this Agreement, the identity of any person with whom the Company may be holding discussions with respect to any investment, acquisition, disposition or other transaction, and all other business, financial or other information relating directly to the conduct of the business and affairs of the Company or the relative or absolute rights or interests of any of the Members (collectively, the “Confidential Information”) that is not already publicly available or that has not been publicly disclosed pursuant to authorization by all of the Members is confidential and proprietary information of the Company, the disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm to the Company and the Members. Accordingly, each Member represents that it has not and agrees that it will not and will direct its shareholders, partners, directors, officers, agents, advisors and Affiliates not to, disclose to any Person any Confidential Information or confirm any statement made by third Persons regarding Confidential Information until the Company has publicly disclosed the Confidential Information pursuant to authorization by the Managing Member and has notified each Member that it has done so; provided, however, that any Member (or its Affiliates) may disclose such Confidential Information if required by law (it being specifically understood and agreed that anything set forth in a registration statement or any other document filed pursuant to law will be deemed required by law), if necessary for it to perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder or in any property management agreement to which it is a party covering any Company Property, or to market the Company Property or any Interests as permitted by the terms of this Agreement, and to its attorneys and advisors and prospective investors and lenders who agree to maintain a similar confidence.

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 13.14(a), each Member agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information to any Person (other than a Person (including without limitation an attorney or advisor or a prospective investor or lender) agreeing to maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence or a judge, magistrate or referee in any action, suit or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement or otherwise), and to keep confidential all documents (including without limitation, responses to discovery requests) containing any Confidential Information. Each Member hereby consents in advance to any motion for any

protective order brought by any other Member represented as being intended by the movant to implement the purposes of this Section 13.14, provided that, if a Member receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under the terms of a valid and effective order issued by a court or governmental agency and the order was not sought by or on behalf of or consented to by such Member, then such Member may disclose the Confidential Information to the extent required if the Member as promptly as practicable (i) notifies each of the other Members of the existence, terms and circumstances of the order, (ii) consults in good faith with each of the other Members on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or to narrow the order, and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information is required, exercises its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the portion of the disclosed Confidential Information that any other Member designates. The cost (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of obtaining a protective order covering Confidential Information designated by such other Member will be borne by the Company.

(c) The covenants contained in this Section 13.14 will survive the Transfer of the Interest of any Member and the termination of the Company.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by Delaware law, 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 no Member shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member. Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement (with respect to liability among Members) or by Delaware law, the liability of each Member shall be limited to the amount of Capital Contributions, if any, required to be made by such Member in accordance with this Agreement, but only when and to the extent the same shall become due pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement

13.18 Cooperation.

In connection with the Sale of Company Property or any portion thereof, the Members agree to reasonably cooperate with any Member (the “Exchanging Member”) which seeks to structure the

disposition of its Interest in a manner that will afford the Exchanging Member an opportunity to take advantage of provisions of the Code governing tax free exchanges or reorganizations; provided that such structuring does not have an adverse effect on any such sale (including without limitation, with respect to timing) or would not reasonably be expected to jeopardize Strategic REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust, and provided that the Exchanging Member shall bear all costs and expenses associated with such structuring, the other Members shall not be required to take title to any property or interest or assume or be subject to any obligations, and the Exchanging Member shall indemnify, defend and hold the other Members and the Company harmless from and against any and all liabilities that they may incur by reason of their participation or cooperation in such exchange or reorganization transaction, and such structuring shall not delay any such transaction, and shall be subject to the restrictions proposed by the Members that are not Exchanging Members.

13.19 Counterparts.

This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts and may be executed by facsimile, PDF or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.
