(i)           the Company makes the distributions required by Article VI of this Agreement, and
 
(ii)           the distributions required by Article VI of this Agreement are insufficient to satisfy the 90% distribution requirement.  In such event, the Administrative Manager shall notify the Members of such insufficiency.  Neither any Member, the Administrative Manager nor the Company shall be required to incur debt to make additional distributions unless either requests it and both Members agree, in which case the Members shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to incur additional debt on commercially reasonable terms in order to make such additional distributions to both Members.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article VI, in no event shall the Managing Member or the Company have any liability to a Member or Affiliate with respect to the Company's failure to comply with the distribution requirements of this Section 3.5 to the extent that such failure is attributable to the use of cash to acquire a Permitted Investment or to fund a capital expenditure approved pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(d)           Without limiting the foregoing, the Members and the Administrative Manager, subject to the limitations on the Administrative Manager’s authority in this Agreement, shall cause the Company to take such other reasonable steps as shall be requested in writing in good faith by each Member, which the requesting Member believes in good faith is necessary in order for its ultimate owning entity that has elected to qualify as REIT to continue to qualify as a REIT (determined assuming that, without regard to its investment in the Company, such ultimate parent entity  otherwise would qualify as a REIT) and no other reasonable steps or action could be taken by the requesting Member (in lieu of the Company taking any requested steps) to enable such parent to so qualify.
 
 
15
 
 
(e)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall a Member, the Administrative Manager or the Company have any liability to a Member or its Affiliate with respect to its failure to qualify as a REIT so long as the Member, the Administrative Manager and the Company have acted in good faith and used commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy their respective obligations set forth in this Section 3.5.
 
3.6           Services of the Members; Company Opportunities.  (a) The Members, the Audit Committee and the Administrative Manager shall devote such time and effort to the business of the Company as shall reasonably be necessary to promote adequately the interests of the Company and the mutual interests of the Members, and shall perform its duties with the same degree of care it exercises with respect to loans where it is the sole participant; however, it is specifically understood and agreed that the Members and their respective Affiliates shall not be required to devote full time to the business of the Company and that, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.6 the Members or in such other agreements in effect from time to time among the two or more of the parties hereto, the Audit Committee the Administrative Manager and their respective Affiliates may at any time and from time to time engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of any and every type and description, and neither the Company, the Members nor the Administrative Manager shall by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise have any right, title or interest in or to such independent ventures.

(b)           At such time or times as the Company is required to make an additional capital contribution (the “Additional Capital Contribution”) to an Investment Entity pursuant to Section 3.5 of the Concord Operating Agreement or the Members otherwise agree to make an additional capital contribution, the Administrative Member shall deliver notice thereof to each Member (the “Capital Call”) setting forth the total amount required to be contribute to the Investment Entity (the “Capital Call Amount”).  Within five days of receipt of the Capital Call, each Member shall, make an Additional Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the product of (1) the Ownership Percentage of such Member and (2) the Capital Call Amount.  If a Member shall fail to timely make a required Additional Capital Contribution pursuant to this paragraph (b), the other Members shall have the right, but not the obligation, to satisfy such Member’s Additional Capital Contribution by making a loan (the “Default Loan”) to the Company equal to the product of (i) the amount of the defaulting Member’s Additional Capital Contribution and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Member’s Ownership Percentage and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate Ownership Percentages of all Members electing to make a loan to the Company.  All Default Loans shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be payable from the assets of the Company.

(c)           Except as set forth in this Section 4.2, no Additional Capital Contributions shall be required or permitted of any Member without the consent of all Members.

4.3           Capital Accounts.  (a) The Administrative Manager shall cause to be kept for each Member a capital account ("Capital Account") which shall be computed from the date hereof in accordance with the following terms:

(i)           Initially, the Capital Account of each Member shall be credited with each Member’s respective initial Capital Contribution.  Thereafter, each Member’s Capital Account shall be credited with any additional Capital Contributions made or contributed by such Member and such Member’s allocable share of Profits, any individual items of income and gain allocated to such Member pursuant to the provisions of Article IV, and the amount of additional cash, or the fair market value of any Company asset (net of any liabilities assumed by the Company and liabilities to which the asset is subject), contributed to the Company by such Member or deemed contributed to the Company by such Member in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c).

(iii)           In the event that any Company Interest of a Member is transferred in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred  Company Interest  of such Member.
 
(iv)           In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted as described in the definition of “Gross Asset Value”, the Capital Accounts of all Members shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) or Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), as applicable, to reflect such adjustment.

(v)           The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulation.  In the event that the Members shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto, are computed in order to comply with such Regulation, the Members may make such modification; provided, however, that if such modification constitutes an adverse effect, it shall become effective only upon the consent of any Member to whom such modification would constitute an adverse effect.

ARTICLE V
ALLOCATIONS OF PROFIT AND LOSS

5.1           Allocations of Profit and Loss.  Profit and Loss for any fiscal year of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with their Ownership Percentages from time to time, provided that to the extent that distributions are made pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof (in the case of Default Events), Profit shall be allocated among the Members in the same amount (as nearly as possible) that such distributions are made to the Members pursuant to such section.

5.2           Regulatory Allocations.  Prior to making the allocations provided for in Section 5.1, the following allocations shall be made:

(a)           Loss Limitation.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article IV, no Loss shall be allocated to a Member to the extent it would increase or cause such Member to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of a fiscal year.  Any Loss that cannot be allocated to a Member as a result of this limitation shall be specially allocated to the other Members to the extent that it will not cause such other Members to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit.

(b)           Qualified Income Offset. If a Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) or 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6), or otherwise has an adjusted Capital Account deficit as of the end of a fiscal year, items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to the Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the adjusted Capital Account deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an adjusted Capital Account deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Article have been tentatively applied as if this Section 5.2(b) were not in the Agreement.
 
 
18
 
 
(c)           Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Article IV, except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain during a fiscal year, then each Member with a share of Company Minimum Gain shall be allocated items of income and gain for that year (and, if necessary, subsequent years), in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(j)(2)(i), in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in the Company Minimum Gain.  This Section 5.2(c) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d)           Member Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article IV except as otherwise provided in Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during a fiscal year, then after the allocation required by Section 5.2(c) but prior to any other allocation for the year, each Member with a share of the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain shall be allocated income and gain for that year (and, if necessary, subsequent years), in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(j)(2)(ii), in an amount equal to such Member's share of the net decrease in the Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain.  This Section 5.2(d) is intended to comply with the partner minimum gain chargeback requirement in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(e)           Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions for each fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof.

(f)           Member Nonrecourse Deductions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Member Nonrecourse Deductions for each fiscal year shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

5.3           Effect of Regulatory Allocations.  The allocations set forth in Section 5.2 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2.  The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Members intend to divide Company Profit or Loss under Section 5.1. Accordingly, to the extent permitted under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Profit, Loss and other items among the Members so that the net amount of such allocations and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall equal the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if the applicable Regulatory Allocations had not been made.

5.4           Other Allocation and Distribution Rules.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, for each fiscal year of the Company, each item of Company income, gain, loss and deduction shall be allocated among the Members in the same proportions as they share Profit or Loss, as the case may be, for such year.
 
 
19
 
 
(b)           If any Company Interest is transferred pursuant to and in compliance with Article 7, then, unless otherwise determined by the Members, Profit and Loss and other items allocable to the transferred Company Interest shall be divided and allocated between the transferor and the transferee by taking into account their varying interests during the relevant period in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code using the interim closing of the books method as of the effective date of such transfer.

5.5           Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c) and 704(c) Type Allocations.  The following allocations are solely for purposes of federal, state and local income taxes and shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in computing any Member’s Capital Account or share of Distributions:

(a)           Section 704(c) Allocations.  Notwithstanding Section 5.5(b), items of income, gain, loss and deduction to be allocated for income tax purposes (collectively, “Tax Items”) with respect to Company property that is subject to Code Section 704(c) and/or Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) (collectively, “Section 704(c) Tax Items”) shall, to the extent so required, be allocated using any reasonable method as agreed upon by the Members and in accordance with the Treasury Regulations.

(b)           Income Tax Characterization.  For purposes of determining the character (as ordinary income or capital gain) of any gain allocated to the Members pursuant to Sections 5.1 or 5.2, such portion of the taxable income of the Company which is treated as ordinary income attributable to depreciation recapture shall, to the extent possible, be allocated among the Members in proportion to and to the extent of the amount of tax depreciation previously allocated to them.

(c)           Allocations of Tax Items.  Except as otherwise provided in Sections 5.5(a) and (b), allocations of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and credit, as computed for federal income tax purposes, for each fiscal year shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the related items were allocated for Capital Account purposes pursuant to Sections 5.1 and 5.2.

5.6           Tax Elections.  The Members shall determine whether the Company shall make any applicable tax elections, including an election in accordance with Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of the assets of the Company for Federal income tax purposes in the event of a distribution of Company property as described in Section 734 of the Code or a transfer by any Member of its Company Interest as described in Section 734 of the Code.
