Units may be issued to a contributing Member only with Unanimous Consent.
3.5. Member Loans. If any Member does not make a Required Capital Contribution
when due (the "Defaulting Member"), one or more other Members (the "Lending Member(s)")
may,but shall not be obligated to, loan to the Defaulting Member an amount equal to the Required
Capital Contribution of such Member (the "Defaulting Member Loan(s)"). If more than one
Lending Member makes the Defaulting Member Loan(s), the Lending Members will make the
loan(s) in proportion to their Sharing Ratios unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Lending
OPERATING AGREEMENT OF TEN MILE WEST COMMERCIAL,LLC-7
4866-8465-3158,v.6
Members. The funds for the Defaulting Member Loan(s) shall be delivered to the Company and
credited to the Capital Account of the Defaulting Member. The Defaulting Member shall sign and
deliver a promissory note to each Lending Member in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C for
the portion of the Defaulting Member Loan(s) made by such Lending Member (the "Defaulting
Member Note(s)"). If a Defaulting Member does not sign and deliver the Defaulting Member
Note(s) as provided above, such Defaulting Member shall nevertheless be deemed to have signed
the Defaulting Member Note(s) and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities to the
Lending Member(s) as provided therein. Each Defaulting Member Note shall bear interest at the
rate of twelve percent(12%)per annum compounded annually and shall be payable in full ninety
(90) days after the date the Defaulting Member Loan finds are delivered by the Lending
Member(s)to the Company.
If the Defaulting Member does not pay the Defaulting Member Note(s) in full, including
all principal and accrued interest,when due,each Lending Member thereafter shall have the option,
in the Lending Member's sole discretion, to pursue collection against the Defaulting Member for
default of the Defaulting Member Note payable to such Lending Member or to elect to convert the
Defaulting Member Note obligation to Units of the Defaulting Member (the "Converted Units")
and have the Converted Units transferred from the Defaulting Member to such Lending Member
on the books and records of the Company effective as of the date written notice of such election is
delivered to the Company(the"Conversion Election Date"). The Converted Units shall consist of
(i) an increase in the Capital Account of the Lending Member and a decrease in the Capital
Account of the Defaulting Member in each case by an amount equal to the amount of the applicable
Defaulting Member Note, including principal and interest, remaining unpaid on the Conversion
Election Date; and(ii)an increase in the number of Units of the Lending Member and decrease in
the number of Units of the Defaulting Member in an amount to be calculated as follows:
Note x 2.0 x Total Number of Units Outstanding = Number of Converted
Capital Units (rounded to the
nearest hundredth Unit)
For purposes of the foregoing calculation, "Note" equals the amount of the applicable Defaulting
Member Note, including principal and interest,remaining unpaid on the Conversion Election Date,
and "Capital"means the sum of the Capital Accounts of all Members on the Conversion Election
Date. For example, if the Note were equal to $100,000.00, the Capital were equal to
$4,000,000.00, and there were 100 total Units outstanding, then the number of Converted Units
would be calculated as follows:
100,000 x 2.0 x 100 Units = 5.00 Converted Units
4,000,000
Assuming the Lending Member and the Defaulting Member on the Conversion Election Date each
owned 50 Units, this would result in the Defaulting Member owning 45 Units (50 Units — 5
Converted Units = 45 Units) and the Lending Member owning 55 Units (50 Units + 5 Converted
Units = 55 Units). If the number of Converted Units were 50 Units instead of 5 Units under this
example,then the Defaulting Member would no longer have any interest in the Company and the
Lending Member would own 100 Units.
OPERATING AGREEMENT OF TEN MILE WEST COMMERCIAL,LLC - 8
4866-8465-3158,v.6
3.6. Capital Accounts. The Company shall establish and maintain a Capital Account
for each Member and Transferee. Each Member's Capital Account shall be increased by (1) the
amount of any money actually contributed by the Member to the capital of the Company, (2) the
fair market value at the time of contribution of any Property contributed by the Member (net of
°liabilities assumed by the Company or subject to which the Company takes such Property, within
the meaning of §752 of the Code), and (3) the Member's share of Profits and of any separately
allocated items of income or gain except adjustments required by the Code (including any gain
and income from unrealized income with respect to accounts receivable allocated to the Member
to reflect the difference between the book value and tax basis of assets contributed by the Member).
Each Member's Capital Account shall be decreased by (1) the amount of any money Distributed
to the Member by the Company,(2)the fair market value at the time of Distribution of any Property
Distributed to the Member (net of liabilities of the Company assumed by the Member or subject
to which the Member takes such Property within the meaning of§752 of the Code), and (3) the
Member's share of Losses and of any separately allocated items of deduction or loss (including

tax basis of assets contributed by the Member).
3.7. Distribution of Property. If the Company at any time Distributes any Company
Property in-kind to any Member,the Capital Account of each Member shall be adjusted to account
for that Member's allocable share (as determined under Article VI) of the Profits or Losses that

appraisers cannot agree upon a third appraiser, one shall be appointed by a court of competent
jurisdiction. The decision of the majority of the three appraisers shall be binding on all parties. If

appraisers. The costs of appraisal shall be shared equally by the Purchaser and the Seller. The
purchase price for the Units shall be the amount the Seller would receive in connection with such
Units if the Company (i) liquidated and received the appraised value for the Company Property,

proceeds does not equal twenty-five percent(25%)of the total purchase price,the Purchaser shall
pay sufficient additional cash to cause the down payment to equal twenty-five percent (25%) of
said purchase price. The Seller shall have no claim to any proceeds in excess of the purchase price.

permitted applicable federal rate as of the date of closing. The balance of the purchase price and
accrued interest shall be payable in three (3) equal annual installments commencing one (1) year

until the purchase price and all accrued interest shall be paid in full. All payments shall be applied
first to accrued interest and then to reduction of principal.
8.6.6. The Purchaser may prepay principal at any time in multiples of$500.00
without penalty. Interest on such additional principal payments shall cease as of the date payment
is made. Any prepayment shall be applied to the last payment(s)coming due under this Agreement

amount as required by this Agreement.

Exhibits D-1 through D-3.
8.7. Miscellaneous.
8.7.1. Units purchased or redeemed by the Company shall have no voting or other
rights while held by the Company. Units purchased by any Member shall have all voting and other
rights, and said rights shall belong to the Purchaser so long as there is no default under the terms
of any agreement evidencing, securing or guaranteeing the payment of the purchase price for such
Units. If the Purchaser fails to cure any default within any applicable cure period, the Seller shall
be entitled to exercise all rights to which said Units were entitled prior to purchase by the
Purchaser.
8.7.2. So long as any part of the purchase price for Units purchased by the
Company remains unpaid,the Company will not do any of the following,without the Seller's prior
written approval: issue any additional Units;reorganize its capital structure;merge or consolidate
with any other entity; sell any of its assets except in the ordinary course of business; incur
extraordinary indebtedness; or pay salaries or other compensation in excess of that which is
reasonable. So long as any part of the purchase price for such Units remains unpaid,the Seller or
the Seller's legal representative shall have the right to examine the books and records of the
Company and to receive copies of all accounting records and reports prepared for or on behalf of
the Company; but all such information disclosed shall be confidential and the Company, in its
discretion, may require the recipient of any such information to sign a confidentiality agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive Manager.
8.7.3. If purchase offers from the Remaining Members specify in the aggregate
more Units than are available for purchase by the Members, each Member shall have priority, up
to the number of Units specified in the Member's notice,to such proportion of the available Units
as the Member's Units bears to the Units of all Members electing to purchase. The Units not
purchased on such a priority basis shall be allocated in one or more successive allocations to those
Members electing to purchase more than the Units to which they have priority right,up to the Units
specified in their respective notices, in the proportion that the Units held by each of them bears to
the Units held by those Members entitled to purchase such excess Units.

Code of 1986, as amended, for the year in which a Member Disposes of all its Units in the
Company.
8.7.5. The parties hereby declare that it is impossible to measure in money the
damages which will accrue to any party, by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations
under this Agreement and that the remedy of the Members or the Company for a breach of this
Agreement is not adequate at law. Any Member, Seller, or the Company may enforce rights
hereunder by injunction proceedings, proceedings for specific performance, or other equitable
proceedings. Any Person (including the Company) against whom such action or proceeding is
brought hereby waives the claim or defense that an adequate remedy at law exists.

within thirty (30) days after delivery of a Special Purchase Notice a written acceptance of the
Offer. Failure to respond to a Special Purchase Notice within thirty(30) days after delivery shall
constitute such Other Member's acceptance of the Offer and agreement to sell all of such Other
Member's Units in accordance with the Offer Terms. If no Other Member rejects the Offer as
provided in Section 8.8.3 below, within twenty (20) days after acceptance of the Offer, whether

Member(s), or by such other deadline as may be specified in the Offer Terms but in no event later
than six (6)months after the date of the Offer,the Offering Member(s)shall deliver to the Escrow
Agent cash in the amount of the purchase price. The Escrow Agent shall then close the transaction,
deliver the cash purchase price to the Other Member(s), and deliver the transfer documentation to
the Offering Member(s)and the Company. Thereupon,the Company shall transfer the ownership
of all the Units of the Other Member(s)to the Offering Member(s) upon the books and records of

otherwise provided in the Offer Terms or agreed in writing by the Offering Members.

aggregating the separately computed gains. The amount of Member Minimum Gain includes such minimum gain arising from a conversion,
refinancing,or other change to a debt instrument,only to the extent a Member is allocated a share of that minimum gain. For any Taxable Year,

share of the Company Minimum Gain at the end of the immediately preceding Taxable Year, A Member's share of any decrease in Company
Minimum Gain resulting from a revaluation of Company Property equals the increase in the Member's Capital Account attributable to the
revaluation to the extent the reduction in minimum gain is caused by the revaluation. A Member is not subject to the Company Minimum Gain
Chargeback Requirement to the extent the Member's share of the net decrease in Company Minimum Gain is caused by a guarantee,refinancing,
or other change in the debt instrument causing it to become partially or wholly a Recourse Liability or a Member Nonrecourse Liability,and the
Member bears the economic risk of loss(within the meaning of§1.752-2 of the Regulations)for the newly guaranteed,refinanced,or otherwise
changed liability.
6.4. Member Minimum Gain Chargeback. If during a Taxable You there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain,any Member with

decrease in the Company Minimum Gain. A Member's share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain is determined in a manner consistent
with the provisions of§ 1.704-2(g)(2)of the Regulations. A Member is not subject to this Member Minimum Gain Chargeback,however,to the
extent the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain arises because the liability ceases to be Member Nonrecourse Liability due to a conversion,
refinancing,or other change in the debt instrument that causes it to become partially or wholly a Company Nonrecourse Liability.The amount that
would otherwise be subject to the Member Minimum Gain Chargeback is added to the Member's share of Company Minimum Gain. In addition,
rules consistent with those applicable to Company Minimum Gain shall be applied to determine the shares of Member Minimum Gain and Member
Minimum Gain Chargeback to the extent provided under the Regulations issued pursuant to§704(b)of the Code.
11.5. Qualified Income Offset. In the event any Member,in such capacity,unexpectedly receives an Offsettable Decrease,such Member
will be allocated items of income and gain(consisting of a pro onto portion of each item of partnership income and gain for such year)in an amount
and manner sufficient to offset such Offsettable Decrease as quickly as possible.
