CALIFORNIA INVESTORS ONLY

ACCREDITED INVESTORS ONLY

2201 DWIGHT PARTNERS, LLC, a California limited liability company, with its
principal place of business at 5715 Claremont Ave., Oakland, CA 94618 (the “Company”), is
hereby offering Units of limited liability company interest (the “Units”) at $50,000 per Unit.
The sole Manager of the Company (“Manager”) is CityCentric / Dwight and Fulton, LLC, a
California limited liability company. Unless a minimum of 46 Units offered hereby are sold and
the purchase price therefore is received by the Company before November 16, 2009 (the
“Minimum Funding Date”) or in the Company's discretion not later than December 15, 2009,
none of the Units will be sold and amounts received in consideration therefore will be promptly
refunded, without interest, and without deduction, and the offering will be terminated. Officers,
directors and employees of the Manager or its Affiliates may purchase Units pursuant to this
Offering to satisfy the Offering Amount.

The investment opportunity is based upon constructing apartments and holding them for
purposes of investment. The Company intends to acquire improved land at 2201 Dwight Way,
corner of Fulton St., Berkeley, CA, consisting of approximately 27,000 square feet of land
improved with an existing one-story brick building currently used as offices. The Company
intends to obtain City of Berkeley planning approvals and other necessary entitlements to
construct approximately 35 student oriented apartment units, including a “below market rate”
(“BMR”) component of at least 15% “very low income” units in order to best assure
development approval. The company expects to lease out and hold these apartment units for
long-term investment.

Prior to this offering there has been no public market for the Units and there is no
assurance that one will develop. The offering price for Units was determined by the Company
and is not the result of an independent analysis or valuation.

SUMMARY OF OFFERING

The following is a summary of certain information contained elsewhere in this Private


Placement Memorandum. Reference is made to, and this Summary is qualified in its entirety by,
the more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Private Placement Memorandum,
together with the exhibits thereto.

The Company: 2201 DWIGHT PARTNERS, LLC was formed in 2009 under
California law. Its sole Manager is CityCentric/ Dwight and Fulton,
LLC, a California limited liability company, whose manager is Ali
Kashani and whose interests are owned by Ali Kashani, Mark Rhoades
and Ali Eslami.

Securities Offered: The securities offered hereby are 70 Units of limited liability company
interest at a total sale price of $50,000 per Unit.

Securities Escrow A securities escrow account has been established with U.S. Bank Trust
Account: at One California St., Ste. 2100, San Francisco, CA 94111 and all
investor funds will be placed in this account until 46 Units have been
sold (Minimum Offering Amount). If the Minimum Offering Amount
is not attained by November 16, 2009 (or, if extended by the Manager,
no later than December 20, 2009) all investor funds will be returned to
investors, without interest. The Manager may loan funds without
interest to attain the equivalent of the Minimum Offering Amount, in
order to facilitate the timely purchase of the Property. However, the
Manager’s loan will be deemed converted to Unit ownership if such
Units are not sold by the Offering Termination Date, December 20,
2009.

Rights and The Units have equal rights and preferences. All issued Units are
Preferences: voting Units. The Company has one class of Units.

Offering Price: Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars($3,500,000) based upon
sale of 70 Units at Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per Unit

Minimum Two Units ($100,000).


Investment:

Fractional Units The Company may in its sole discretion, sell fractional Units to a
and Fee limited number of investors in order to accomplish an orderly
Deferment: conclusion of this Offering. The Manager may defer payment of all or
any part of its Acquisition Fee in the form of a loan to the Company in
order to facilitate the purchase of the Property provided that the
Minimum Offering Amount (including funds loaned by the Manager) is
raised.

1
Use of Proceeds: The net proceeds of this Offering, together with a $1,900,000 purchase
money loan from one of two banks now under negotiation, will be used
to purchase an improved 27,000 square foot parcel (the Property”)
located at 2201 Dwight Way, Berkeley, CA. Site improvements consist
of a seismically upgraded and ADA compliant older brick building
used as offices. The Company intends to preserve the exterior brick
walls and, after conducting a second offering to raise additional equity,
to redevelop the site to accommodate 33 or more apartment units in a
new medium-rise building. Over 15% of the total dwelling units are
expected to be below market rate (“BMR”) units under California law,
which under current law will streamline the project approval and
entitlement process. The completed project will be leased out and held
for long term investment. Investor funds will be used primarily for
acquisition of the Property, for costs associated with the project
approval and entitlement process (including but not limited to City of
Berkeley application fees and costs of experts and consultants
associated with the development approval process) and ordinary and
typical costs of holding real property (principal and interest, taxes,
insurance, legal/accounting and other professional fees) and for
compensation of the Manager as described herein and in the
Management Agreement. The Company intends to hold the Property
for long-term investment. There will not be material cash distributions
to investors from real estate operations before stabilized leasing is
achieved.

In order to construct the planned new apartments, the Company must


raise a second round of equity capital, which the Manager presently
expects to do through a vehicle similar to this offering. In addition to
the increased cash equity and as part of the second-round offering, the
Manager expects to offer a partial liquidity feature for the original
investors. The liquidity feature will be conditioned upon: (i) the
attainment of development entitlements from the city of Berkeley on
materially the same terms as proposed by the company; (ii) an MAI
appraisal for the Property post-entitlement which will support pricing of
the second-round offering Units adequate for these purposes; and (iii)
no more than 49% of the aggregate interests in Net Profits of the
Company may be transferred (a tax requirement). Members tendering
their Units for redemption under those conditions will agree to accept
an eight percent per annum (8%) simple return on their investments
from date of acceptance to date of payment.

Suitability Only investors who satisfy certain suitability standards (“Accredited


Standards: Investors”) may purchase the Units offered hereby (See “Investor
Suitability Standards”).

2
Offering Unless the Company receives and accepts subscriptions for 46 Units
Termination Date: by November 16, 2009 (the “Minimum Funding Date”), or to a date
not later than December 15, 2009 if extended by the Manager, no
investor funds will be accepted. No Units will be sold in any event
after December 15, 2009 (the “Offering Termination Date”).

Risk Factors: The Units offered hereby are a speculative investment. Investors
should consider the risk factors described in this Private Placement
Memorandum (See “Risk Factors”).

Lack of Liquidity: An investment in the Units should be treated as a long-term


investment. Although the Manager presently plans to offer a partial
liquidity feature through the second planned offering when
development approvals are obtained, this plan is necessarily contingent
upon a number of factors and there can be no assurance that a holder
of Units will be able to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of his or her
Units to the Company or to other parties (See “Risk Factors”).

Glossary: A Glossary of certain terms used in this Private Placement


Memorandum is contained at Article 1 of the Company’s Operating
Agreement.

3
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Units offered hereby are being offered by the Company to “Accredited Investors”
under federal and California securities (see “Investor Suitability Standards”). Certain officers
and directors of the Manager may offer and sell Units themselves in reliance upon exemptions
from federal and state registration as broker-dealers. In addition, certain California licensed real
estate brokers will sell Units in reliance upon the exemption from broker dealer requirements
contained in California Corporations Code § 25206 in relation to certain offerings of California
real property. None of the Units will be sold unless offers to purchase at least 46 Units
(including equivalent cash from any loan by the Manager), together with the initial installments
of the Unit purchase price and a properly completed subscription agreement therefore (in the
form contained in this Private Placement Memorandum) are timely received. If all Units are not
sold and the proceeds in cash therefrom are not received by the Minimum Funding Date of
November 16, 2009 (including any permissible extension thereof to and including December 20,
2009 the principal amount of all subscriptions to date, without interest, will be returned to
investors as soon as practicable and the offering will terminate. Such tendered funds will be held
in an Escrow account with U.S. Bank Trust, One California St., Ste. 2100, San Francisco, CA
94111. CA. The securities sold hereby are Units of limited liability company interest, fully paid-
up and entitled to all rights and privileges of participation, information, voting and dividends,
and other privileges, without limitation, as other Units of the Company.

The Company specifically makes no representation of any intent to register its Units for
public trading. Investors should assume that this investment will be illiquid over the life of the
Company. In its sole discretion, the Company may sell fractional Units to a limited number of
investors meeting the investor suitability standards, in order to provide for orderly closure of the
offering.

Payment of initial compensation to the Manager and to California real estate brokers who
have assisted in the sale of Units (Organization Fee, reimbursement of Company expenses) may
be deferred if necessary to permit proceeds from sale of Units to be used entirely for purchase of
the Property.

Directors and executive officers of the Manager, as well as Affiliates of the Manager,
may purchase Units pursuant to the Offering.

The purchase price of each Unit is $50,000. The minimum purchase by an investor is
two Units. The Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to reject any subscription in
whole or in part. The Manager of the company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, sell
fractional Units to provide for an orderly close of the Offering.

4
INVESTOR SUITABILITY STANDARDS

THE PURCHASE OF UNITS INVOLVES CERTAIN RISKS AND IS NOT A SUITABLE


INVESTMENT FOR ALL POTENTIAL INVESTORS. SEE “RISK FACTORS.” THE UNITS WILL BE
SOLD ONLY TO PERSONS WHO MEET THE FOLLOWING SUITABILITY STANDARDS:

Minimum Income and Net Worth for Accredited Investors

The Company may sell Units to persons who qualify as “Accredited Investors,” defined
by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933 as follows:

An Accredited Investor must satisfy the relevant definitions under Rule 501(a) of the Act
and the relevant definitions of “excluded purchasers” or “accredited investors” under California
securities laws. Generally, for an investor to be treated as an Accredited Investor, the person
must meet at least one of the following standards:

1. Any private business development Company as defined in section 202(a)(22) of


the Investment Advisers Act of 1940;

2. Any organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code,


corporation, Massachusetts or similar business trust, or partnership, not formed
for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, with total assets in
excess of $5,000,000;

3. Any director, executive officer, or Manager of the issuer of the securities being
offered or sold, or any director, executive, officer or Manager of that issuer;

4. Any natural person whose individual net worth or joint net worth with that
person's spouse, at the time of his purchase exceeds $1,000,000;

5. Any natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each
of the two most recent years or joint income with that person's spouse in excess of
$300,000 in each of those years and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the
same income level in the current year;

6. Any trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000 not formed for the specific
purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose purchase is directed by a
sophisticated person as defined in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D under the
Securities Act of 1999;

7. Any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors; and

8. The investor is an Employee Benefit Plan within the meaning of the Employee
Retirement Security Act of 1974 in which the investment decision is made by a
plan fiduciary (as defined in Section 3(21) of such Act), which is either a bank,
savings and loan association, insurance company or registered advisor; or the

5
Employee Benefit Plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000, or it is a self-
directed plan in which investment decisions are made solely by persons who are
accredited investors.

Ability to Accept Limitations on Transferability

Holders of Units may not be able to liquidate their investment in the event of an
emergency or for any other reason because there is not now any public market for the Units and
at this time there can be no assurance that one will develop.

Other Requirements

THE FOREGOING SUITABILITY STANDARDS REPRESENT MINIMUM


REQUIREMENTS, AND NEITHER THE SATISFACTION OF SUCH STANDARDS BY A
PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR NOR THE ACCEPTANCE BY THE COMPANY OF A
PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR'S SUBSCRIPTION NECESSARILY MEANS THAT THE UNITS
ARE A SUITABLE INVESTMENT FOR THE INVESTOR. THE FINAL DETERMINATION
AS TO THE SUITABILITY OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY CAN BE MADE
ONLY BY A PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR AND HIS OR HER ADVISORS, IF ANY.

An investor will be required to represent in the Subscription Agreement, which is


included within Exhibit “B”, that he or she satisfies the investor suitability standards above. The
suitability for any particular investor of a purchase of Units will depend upon, among other
things, such investor's investment objectives and ability to accept highly speculative risks,
including the risk of total loss.

The Company has the right, in its sole judgment and discretion and at any time, to refuse
any subscription for Units, in whole or in part, for any reason by written notice of such rejection
accompanied by the return of any subscription funds deposited by such prospective investor
without interest and without deduction.

6
RISK FACTORS

PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION, PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD


CAREFULLY CONSIDER, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS
PRIVATE PLACEMENT MEMORANDUM, THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS ATTENDANT TO THAT
INVESTMENT, AND SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN LEGAL AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS WITH
RESPECT THERETO:

Risk Associated With Operating History

The Company was formed in 2009 to purchase, develop, hold and manage certain
improved real property in Berkeley, CA. The Business will require additional capital to be
realized from a second-round private placement offering, construction financing and permanent
financing in order to support projected development and management costs in future years. The
Company has no operating history.

Limited Capitalization; Further Borrowing

Although the Company has made a good faith effort to provide for reasonably anticipated
problems and expenses in the development of its business plan, there remains a risk that
occurrences neither foreseen nor foreseeable could seriously increase the Company's need for
capital. This may result from (for instance) unforeseen difficulties in obtaining planning
approvals and other entitlements from the City of Berkeley, public agency charges not presently
envisioned, overruns in construction costs, difficulties in raising a projected second round of
equity capital, unforeseen difficulties in lease-up or lease rates, or uninsured risks. There is no
assessment provision in the Company’s Operating Agreement to provide for those eventualities,
and the burden of such events would require either additional borrowing by the Company or the
raising of additional equity or debt capital, possibly on unfavorable terms. Despite the fact that
the Property is expected to derive lease revenue upon completion of the apartments, the
Company may still not have revenues available nor be able to raise additional capital through
additional offerings or borrowings, and therefore may not be able to complete implementation of
its business plan. All real estate development activity is to one or another extent speculative and
subject to market fluctuation, although apartment development in the core Bay Area historically
less so due to the excess of demand over supply and the strength of the local Berkeley economy.

Limited Income; Fixed Expenses

Operating expenses and payments of the Company must be met in all events. These
include, but are not limited to, loan principal and interest, real property taxes, insurance, utilities
(to a limited extent), payments to outside professionals such as CPA’s and lawyers and
compensation to the Manager under the terms of the Company’s Operating Agreement and
Management Agreement. Control of expenses will rest with the Manager of the Company. The
Company’s income will be limited to revenues from apartment leasing of the Property. There is
no assurance that the Property can be leased as quickly as the Manager predicts. The Company
expects to have a limited supply of working capital. If the working capital is depleted, the
Company may be required to rely on borrowed funds or take other actions which could have an

7
adverse affect on the Company's operations. Macroeconomic factors affecting the Company and
the value and marketability of its real estate include the health of the national, state and regional
economies and the cost and availability of future financing. There can be no assurance that these
factors will move positively for the company and its investors.

Risks of the Development Approval Process

The Manager believes that the long experience and demonstrated skill of its personnel in
navigating the development requirements of Berkeley is unique. At the same time, however,
such familiarity does not assure an outcome. The Manager has sought to eliminate most possible
objections to the project by incorporating a 15%-plus “very low income” element within the
apartments, but even this will not result in assured project approval. Any material delay in the
approval process may cause the project to become vulnerable to delay. Additionally, state law
allows voter initiatives to challenge development projects and lawsuits can occasionally do the
same. The Manager is unaware of such opposition at this time and believes that the project will
gain widespread approval because it addresses a recognized need in Berkeley. Still, there can be
no guarantee that opposition will not emerge.

Risks of Owning Development Property

The Company's future success will depend in part upon localized factors, including both
its ability to “position” its real property investment for profitable sale in the future and also
trends affecting the value of apartments in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Berkeley in
particular. The first factor is mainly a product of the marketing skills of the Manager in
representing the Property in the marketplace. The second factor is the product of the pace,
intensity and direction of multi-unit residential development in the core San Francisco Bay Area.
The Manager believes it likely that, particularly as the economic downturn ends, the trends will
favor the proposed project.

Specific to the Company, the development process includes a number of risk factors
wholly or largely outside the control of the Manager. These include but are not limited to severe
disruption in the financial industry, unavoidable cost overruns, the availability of qualified
contractors, subcontractors or suppliers, insolvency of such companies during the construction
process, other legal disputes with contractors, the availability of construction materials (the
aftermath of Hurricane Katrina being an excellent example), local or national strikes in the
construction trades or supply industries and the availability of fuel or other forms of energy.

Risks Related to Financing and Leveraged Instruments

Until 2008, an abundance of choices existed for owners of multi-unit properties seeking
to finance or refinance their assets. The economic calamity of 2008 eliminated many financing
sources and severely constricted most others. Construction financing has been particularly hard-
hit. The Manager is optimistic that construction and permanent financing can be found in this
case, largely because of the track record of newer apartment properties in Berkeley in recent
years, but also because the availability of financing is expected by many to again improve within
the next two years. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur. Unavailability of

8
construction financing will stall a project for an uncertain period of time, perhaps sapping its
reserves and making it less marketable for resale. Lack of permanent financing after completion
of construction will at some point subject the project to risk of foreclosure, when the construction
loan cannot be “taken out” (paid off). The cash flow expected to be generated by this vehicle
may not materialize if at time of completion tenant demand lessens or if (as some economists
contend will occur) high inflation with in the next few years drives interest rates up dramatically.
Loan costs, “points” and related charges all play roles in this calculus.

Certain other risks related to leveraged financing and property insurance should be noted.
Apartment loans carrying fixed rates typically mature in three to ten years in order to hedge the
rate risk to the lender. Such loans present the risks related to terms and availability of new
financing found in all “balloon payment” loans. On the other hand, loans with longer terms tend
to re-set their rates on a periodic basis according to a constant “spread” or margin over a variable
index. While caps and other limitations can be negotiated at a price, such loans still present the
risk that sudden increases in interest rates cannot be matched or offset by increases in rental
rates. Apart from these risks, there are also risks related to potential casualty losses. Under the
terms of the loan instruments secured against the property, an event causing significant damage
to the Property will trigger significant rights of the lender with respect to both the application of
casualty insurance proceeds and the terms under which the Property is repaired. In such cases,
the new or repaired structure could conceivably be worth less than the one damaged earlier, and
the length of time necessary to sort out the parties’ rights and to rebuild may in the end leave the
insured party effectively underinsured. While the Manager will attempt to find the best coverage
possible, such risks cannot be entirely avoided by the mere choice of insurer or terms of
coverage. Finally, while the Manager will do its utmost to avoid the Property being
underinsured, there is still the possibility that the Property could be underinsured for certain
events or (less likely) that a significant uninsured casualty could occur.

In connection with financing, the Manager points out that it intends to mitigate risk by
building on recent success in obtaining tax-exempt bond financing under similar circumstances
through the program of the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. The Manager intends
to use this approach and its successful track record to obtain construction/permanent financing
for the Property

Environmental Risks

Prospective investors should understand that environmental issues in the development of


property are frequently found and that such factors frequently limit and occasionally prevent
altogether development which would otherwise be available and desirable. Federal and state
laws in this category are zealously enforced by various agencies and numerous “watchdog”
environmental groups are active.

The Manager has performed its due diligence investigation on the Property, but such
conditions as undetected underground tanks and hazardous chemicals in the soil from remote
owners may still occur, any of which may cost the Company substantial sums of money to
remediate, or perhaps worse, significant delay before a project can proceed. Additionally,
factors such as increased traffic, increased ambient light, construction noise or noise from

9
permanent occupancy, shadows from the new structure or the cumulative effect upon the
environment of a number of factors all fall within the definition of “environmental issues” which
can be raised either by members of the general public or by specific “stakeholder” groups during
the application and hearing process. Despite the Manager’s assessment that all known
eventualities have been anticipated and dealt with, there can be no absolute assurance that a new
concern will not be brought forth, with the result that the project may be delayed or become
unexpectedly expensive.

Risks of Rent Control

The City of Berkeley’s Rent Stabilization Ordinance (a rent control measure) does not
apply to any new rental housing constructed after 1980. Additionally, California law provides
“vacancy decontrol” protections for rental rates when tenants vacate their “rent-controlled” units.
However, the Company and its Members have no absolute protection against local attempts to
limit property owners’ rights in this or potentially other areas of concern.

Reliance on Key Personnel

The success of any venture is dependent upon the availability of skilled personnel, and
the appropriate management philosophy and personalities for each phase of development. Onsite
property management is a particularly important area which will require that the most
appropriate staff be recruited and hired. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to retain key people and continue to attract qualified personnel in the future. Lack of
qualified personnel could damage the Company’s ability to realize its goals under the business
plan.

Skill of Management

The success of the Company depends on the skills and abilities of several key principals
of the Manager, particularly Messrs. Ali Kashani, Mark Rhoades an Ali Eslami. If these
individuals were to cease to be involved with the Company for any reason (including, but not
limited to, death or termination of employment), the success of the Company would depend in
part on the ability of the Company to engage new people of at least equivalent skill. There is no
assurance that the Company will be able to replace any departed key employee or principal of
Manager.

Concentration of Control

Following the completion of this offering, the Manager will remain in absolute control of
the Company. The Manager, by and through its members, exercises virtually total control over
all aspects of the Company's business operations and procedures, save and except for a small
number of voting decisions requiring the assent of owners of a two-thirds majority of Units.
This means that purchasers of the Units will invest subject to the risks associated with not having
control of the Company.

10
The Manager of the Company has complete discretion concerning all aspects of the
Company, including almost complete control of business plans, project design, selection of
contractors, financing, hiring and firing of consultants or professional advisors and ongoing
business operations. The members of the Manager will continue to follow accepted business
procedures and use their best efforts to implement this business plan. However, they retain
complete discretion to modify this business plan or abandon it altogether, should business
conditions or opportunities dictate.

Further, there is the possibility that unexpected negative events concerning either the
Property or the economy in general would alter investment conditions to the extent that dilution
of existing investors is required in order to raise necessary capital. While the Manager has the
right to loan additional capital to the Company, the Manager may not be in a position to do so.
In such event, there can be no assurance that the current management team would remain in
place or that the Company's business plan would not materially change as a result of a shift in
control.

Repayment of Certain Distributions

Under the terms of the terms of the Beverly-Killea Limited Liability Company Act
(“LLC Act”), California Corporations Code Section 17000 and following, and in particular
Section 17355, a Member who receives the return of any part of his capital contribution even
though the return was given in compliance with the terms of the Operating Agreement and with
California law, may be required at a later time to pay back all or any part of the capital so
returned to the extent necessary to discharge the Company’s liability to creditors who had
extended credit to the Company prior to the return of capital contributions. A distribution to a
Member is deemed to be a return of his contribution under the LLC Act to the extent that it
reduces his share of the value of the Company’s net assets below the amount of his returned
contribution.

Contingent Liabilities of Key Persons

The members of the Manager will, in addition to their responsibilities to the Company,
have responsibilities to other investment programs and personal investments which may involve
loan obligations to lenders, guarantees of loans and other contractual commitments. If the assets
of the Company are insufficient to meet its obligations, creditors may look to the members of the
Manager to provide either performance or credit support. If the resources of these persons were
at any time inadequate to satisfy their creditors either in relation to this investment program or
another, the integrity and security of the Company’s position with its lender(s) may be
significantly compromised. There can be no assurance that events arising from an unrelated
covenant of Manager personnel would not damage the Company’s security or equity.

Competition with Other Ventures of the Manager and its Members

The Manager and its members own and/or sponsor other real estate investment properties
and programs. These activities may compete for the time and resources of the Manager’s
personnel. Additionally, certain of the properties may compete with the Property for tenants.

11
The Company will not have the legal right to compel the Manager’s personnel to allocate their
time in the Company’s favor, nor to forego opportunities for the sale of the Company’s interests.

Agreement Not at Arms’ Length

As described under “Compensation and Fees of the Manager and its Affiliates”, the
Manager will be paid certain fees and other compensation by the Company for services rendered
and to be rendered in the future to it. The magnitude of these fees and the time and manner of
their payment have been determined without the benefit of arms’-length bargaining. However,
in the opinion of the Manager, the fees and charges to be paid to the Manager and its Affiliates
under the circumstances presented are no less favorable than the charges which would be paid to
independent contractors under the same or similar circumstances in the San Francisco Bay Area.

No Market for Units

There is presently no market for the Units and none is anticipated. There are substantial
restrictions upon the sale of Units. The Company’s exit strategy anticipates the ability to sell its
Property, but it may take longer to liquidate them than anticipated. There can be no absolute
assurance of the final liquidation date of the Company, nor a particular date upon which
investments will be returned.

Units Eligible for Future Sale

The Units offered hereby are “restricted securities” as that term is used in the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). Such Units of stock are not eligible for sale to the public
unless registered under the Act (and applicable state securities laws) or if sold in accordance with
Rule 144 under the Act or pursuant to another exemption from registration. In general, under
Rule 144, a person (or person whose securities holdings are required to be aggregated) who has
beneficially owned such securities for at least one year, including a person who may be deemed
an affiliate of the Company as the term “affiliate” is defined under Rule 144, is entitled to sell
restricted securities. An “affiliate” may sell within any three-month period a number of Units
that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding Units of the same class of
securities during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. A person (or persons whose Units
are aggregated) who is not deemed an “affiliate” of the Company (and has not been such for at
least three months prior to the sale) and who has beneficially owned Units for at least one year is
entitled to sell Units under Rule 144 without regard to the volume limitations described above.

Prior to this offering there has been no established market for the securities of the
Company, and no prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that market sales of Units or the
availability of Units for sale will have on the market price prevailing from time to time.
Nevertheless, sales of substantial amounts of Units of the Company in the marketplace or
otherwise could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Units, including the prices of the
Units offered hereby.

12
No Registration under Securities Act of 1933

This offering has not been registered under the Act. The Company is relying on certain
exemptions from federal securities laws in making this offering. There is no assurance that the
offering presently qualifies or will continue to qualify for the exemptions upon which the
Company relies due to, among other things, the adequacy of disclosure and the manner of
distribution or change in any securities law regulation governing this offering which is
retroactive in its effect. If and to the extent that claims or suits for rescission are brought and
successfully prosecuted for failure to register this offering or for acts or omissions constituting
offenses under the federal securities laws or securities laws of any state, both the capital and
assets of the Company could be adversely affected, jeopardizing the ability of the Company to
operate successfully. Further, the capital of the Company could be adversely affected by its need
to defend an action by enforcement authorities of the federal or state securities agencies, even if
the Company is ultimately exonerated.

Arbitrary Offering Price

The offering price of $50,000 per Unit and the number of Units offered hereby have been
determined arbitrarily by the Company. No independent opinion or other appraisal has been
obtained in the determination of the value of the Company or offering price.

Summary of Federal Income Tax Risks

There are substantial risks associated with the federal income tax aspects of investment in
the Company. This Memorandum (see "Tax Consequences") is not intended as a substitute for
careful tax planning, particularly since the income tax consequences of an investment in the
Company are complex and certain of them (including the implications of newly-enacted tax
legislation and of proposals for further legislative and administrative tax changes) will not be the
same for all taxpayers. THE COMPANY HAS NOT OBTAINED A LEGAL OPINION
CONCERNING THE TAX IMPLICATIONS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY.
Accordingly, prospective purchasers of Units are strongly urged to consult their tax advisors as to
their own tax situation prior to investment in the Company. The cost of such consultation could,
depending on the amount thereof, materially increase the cost of investment in the Company and
decrease any anticipated yield on the investment.

Risk of Audit

The Company's federal information returns may be audited by the IRS. Such audit may
result in the challenge and disallowance of some of the deductions or increase in the taxable
income described in such returns. No assurance or warranty of any kind can be made with
respect to the deductibility or taxability of any such items in the event of either an audit or any
litigation resulting from an audit.

Tax Classification of the Company

The Manager intends for the Company to be taxed as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. If the Company were to be treated for tax purposes as a corporation, the tax benefits

13
associated with an investment in the Company, if any, would not be available to the Members.
The Company would, among other things, pay income tax on its earnings in the same manner
and at the same rate as a corporation, and losses, if any, would not be passed through to, and
deductible by, the Members. See "FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION - Tax
Consequences Regarding Company - Status as Partnership."

Unrelated Business Taxable Income

The Property is improved with a commercial building and in the future is intended to be
improved with apartments which will in all cases be rented out, producing rental income. The
Company may, particularly when operating apartments, generate unrelated business taxable
income at a material level. Such unrelated business taxable income could have an adverse tax
effect upon IRA’s Keoghs, SEP plans and other tax-exempt entities. Local economic conditions
could potentially change in ways which are not presently foreseen, accelerating and increasing
the amount of rental income to the Company. Tax-exempt entities are strongly advised to
consult with their own tax experts regarding potential issues affecting them. See “FEDERAL
INCOME TAX DISCUSSION – Investment By Qualified Plans and Individual Retirement
Accounts – Unrelated Business Taxable Income.”

BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

Background of Manager

CityCentric/ Dwight and Fulton, LLC, a California limited liability company, organized
in 2009, is the sole Manager of the Company (“Manager’). The members of Manager are Ali
Kashani (manager), Mark Rhoades and Ali Eslami.

Organization

The Company is a limited liability company organized under California law. As


organized, the Company provides the “pass-through” tax attribute characteristics of a
partnership, while limiting the liability exposure of investors to the amounts invested in the same
manner as a corporation. Effectively all management decisions and operational control of the
Company are vested in the Manager (see section entitled “Management”). The Manager will be
compensated through a Management Contract with the Company (see section entitled
“Management Compensation”).

Investment Strategy

The overall investment objective is to acquire the Property, obtain development approvals
from the City of Berkeley and construct 33 or more apartment units in a five-story structure
which will be held for long-term investment. It is anticipated that over 15% of the apartments
will meet the criteria for the category of “below market rate” housing (“BMR”) termed “very
low income.” The Property is presently vacant, but will be marketed for lease for commercial
purposes with the intention of keeping it leased during the development approval process.

The Property

The Property consists of approximately 27,000 square feet of land improved with a one-
story brick structure of approximately 20,000 square feet, located at 2201 Dwight Way,
Berkeley, corner of Fulton St (Alameda County APN # 055-1889-014). The parcel is under
written purchase agreement between the sellers, Sklar and Weinstein, and three members of the
Manager, Ali Kashani, Mark Rhoades and Ali Eslami. These individuals will assign their
contract rights to the Company prior to the scheduled closing date.

The total purchase price of the Property is Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars
($2,800,000), all cash at closing. The Property will be conveyed free and clear of all
encumbrances or title defects of record with the exception of the normal continuing lien of real
property taxes. The remainder of the purchase price will be financed by a purchase-money first
loan made by a bank to the Company, now under negotiation. The principal amount of the loan
is expected to be approximately $1,900,000 for a term of approximately five years, at a
competitive rate of interest (approximately 6½%), with two points payable as loan charges
(“points”) and a holdback equaling approximately three years of interest and operating reserves.
The remainder of the loan proceeds in excess of the sums necessary to close escrow and for loan
costs and holdbacks will be kept in the Company’s reserves for application in accordance with

18
the table of Uses of Proceeds set forth earlier. The escrow holder for the real estate purchase is
Old Republic Title Co., San Rafael, CA. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the
contract buyers advanced a $50,000 initial deposit, which was released to the sellers as “non-
refundable” and representing “liquidated damages” in the event that the purchasers fail to close
escrow without legal justification. The purchase contract provides that closing costs will be
shared as follows: escrow costs and City of Berkeley transfer taxes are split 50-50; the seller
pays recording costs and documentary transfer tax; the buyers will pay for their policy of title
insurance and all desired endorsements; and all other closing costs are to be split according to
local custom and practice. The Property will be purchased “as-is.” The Manager’s
investigations and due diligence on the Property have enabled it to conclude that it was
appropriate to waive inspection contingencies. The Manager obtained a JCP Report reflecting all
known databases of disclosable information, and the JCP Report disclosed no materially negative
information concerning the Property. The purchase contract specifies a November 22, 2009
closing date. The entire brokerage commission will be paid from sellers’ funds to Colliers
International.

The Development Project

The proposed project is a 33 or more unit student-oriented rental housing project


consisting of six 2-Bedroom / 2 Baths, two 3-Bedroom / 2 Baths and twenty-five 4-Bedroom / 3
Bath units for a total of 118 bedrooms at 2201 Dwight Way at Fulton Street. The project is
ideally located just four blocks south of the University of California at Berkeley and four blocks
from the heart of downtown Berkeley (including Berkeley City College and BART). 2201
Dwight Way provides a unique combination of extremely high demand coupled with a very high
barrier to market entry. This combination has created demand for rental units to far exceed the
current and foreseeable supply.

The site consists of an approximately 27,000 square foot lot with an existing 20,000+
square foot office building (including approx. 5,000 sq ft of mezzanine) and 28 parking spaces.
The proposal includes preservation of most of the existing building and the parking area. The
project’s key components include the following:

• 33 or more dwelling units (most with balconies) on five floors with a total of 118-126
bedrooms;
• approximately 37,000 square feet net rentable, @48,000 square feet gross floor area;
• Retention of 28 on-site parking spaces;
• High percentage of units with premium San Francisco Bay or Berkeley Hills/Campus
views;
• Sufficient below market rate units (currently five units) to meet the Berkeley Inclusionary
Requirement;
• High quality and context sensitive architectural design;
• Well designed on-site open spaces with panoramic Bay views; and
• An internal resident “village” that includes ample bicycle and personal item storage,
resident lounge with wi-fi, leasing office, and laundry facilities located around an inviting
and transparent entry atrium.

19
The final determination of the number of below market rate units required for the project will be
a product of the combined application of both California law and Berkeley ordinances in relation
to the design proposal for this project.

Bond Financing for 2201 Dwight Way

Tax-Exempt Bonds are an attractive financing source for developers because they
typically allow for larger loan amounts at lower interest rates than conventional loans. The
California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (“CDLAC”) administers the tax-exempt private
activity bond program, which has a maximum annual issuance amount based on a statutory per
capita dollar amount. The 2009 maximum issuance amount for California is $3,308,099,940.
There are several housing categories that qualify for CDLAC tax-exempt bond financing. The
Project at 2201 Dwight Way would be eligible under the Qualified Residential Rental Project
program. This program assists developers of multifamily rental housing in the acquisition and
construction of new units. The tax-exempt bonds lower the interest rate paid by developers and
the developers are in turn required to include a certain percentage of units for low and very low
income households, which is also required by the City of Berkeley and will be satisfied by
Manager’s designation of fifteen percent or more of project units for low and very low income
families and individuals.

20
The Market

The Manager believes that 2201 Dwight Way’s location near campus and the downtown
insure high market rents and occupancies insuring long-term stability in occupancy and cash
flow. Berkeley’s high barriers to market entry (entitlement process) insure that local housing
demand will continue to significantly outpace the development of new housing supply. Some
recent data to support this conclusion include:

• In 2008 the Berkeley apartment market continued to outperform most markets in the Bay
Area, reporting 99% to 100% occupancies for comparable properties built after 2000.
• The Class A core apartment product in Berkeley experienced 7% to 8% effective rent
growth in 2008 and is expected to outpace most Bay Area apartment markets over the
near term.
• There is a limited pipeline of development projects over the next several years,
particularly in the Southside and the Downtown and the Berkeley market is forecast to
remain one of the most fundamentally sound in the Bay Area.
• Strong enrollment figures over the next several years for UC Berkeley and Berkeley City
College will place upward pressure on rents and further constrain apartment occupancy in
Berkeley. The combined enrollment of both schools is 39,000 students with an
expectation of growth of more than 5,300 students by 2015. There are only 7,400 beds
provided by UC Berkeley.
• Apartments constructed after 2000 achieved sales premiums equivalent to 3.75% to
4.25% cap rates, some of the highest ever recorded for apartment sales outside San
Francisco.

Berkeley Population Demographics, Income and Trends

Berkeley has a well established land use pattern and is centrally located in the East Bay.
Berkeley is home to the University of California’s flagship campus. UC Berkeley has more than
30,000 students and provides more than 13,500 workers (+ 9,900 student employees).

Housing and population remained fairly constant in Berkeley over the last 30 years but
Berkeley experienced a significant increase in the number of jobs. In 1970, Berkeley had about
51,000 total jobs. Estimates for the number of jobs in Berkeley in 2000 vary between 70,000 and
77,000. This figure includes approximately 65,000 wage and salaried jobs and between 5,000
and 10,000 non-wage earning jobs and self-employed residents. The increasing number of jobs
and the fairly constant supply of housing have resulted in increased demand for the limited
housing and an increase in the number of people commuting into the city on a daily basis.

Current data for 2007 suggests an increase of 4.4% over the 2000 population (102,700 to
107,200). The population of Berkeley is aging, with a doubling of the 55-64 age groups from
1990 to 2007 both in size and as a proportion of the total population. The population of Berkeley
is also becoming wealthier. There was a 5.8% increase in the number of households earning
more than $100,000 per year between 2000 and 2007 (20.8% to 26.4%). At the same time
households earning less than $40,000 per year decreased by 5.7% (46.3% to 40.6%). Berkeley’s

21
population is primarily white (63%). Asian, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders make up 17% of
the population and Black or African-Americans comprise 11%.

Every seven years the State of California allocates housing growth targets for each region
of the state. The regional governing body then allocates those units to each local jurisdiction.
Because of Berkeley’s excellent transit access and projected job growth it was allocated a higher
proportion of housing development than cities such as Piedmont or Albany. Berkeley’s current
regional fair-share housing allocation for the time period of 2007 to 2014 is 2,431 units.

Core Bay Area Multi-Family Housing Market

As of 2007 the population of the Bay Area is approximately 7.1 million. It is the 12th
largest metropolitan area in the United States. The Berkeley-Oakland MSA has become the hub
of the region with a population of nearly 2.5 million. The population of the Bay Area is
projected to grow by an additional 1.2 million people by 2015.

The core Bay Area multi-family housing market remains one of the most robust in the
United States. The San Francisco Bay Area has long been recognized as the financial and
cultural center of the West. The Bay region is home to a knowledge-based economy that boasts
the world’s largest concentrations of technology and venture capital firms. The nine-county Bay
Area, with 4.4 million jobs and a population of 7 million residents, is the fifth largest
metropolitan market in the United States with a gross regional product in excess of $400 billion,
making it the world’s 15th largest economy.

The Bay Area has a tremendous concentration of wealth. With a median annual income
of $73,760, it is 1.5 times higher than the U.S. median. The Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG) predicts that the average annual household income will increase by 10%
between 2005 and 2010.

Other Pending Developments

A proposed 44-unit project, also student-oriented, is located in the same general market
area at 2526 Durant Ave., Berkeley. Nine units are BMR units. The project is on a 10,377
square foot lot with 29,855 square feet of gross residential floor area and 2,483 square feet of
non-residential floor area. The average unit size is 679 square feet. The developer is Rue-Ell
Enterprises.

Entitlements (Development Approvals)

Manager’s members have significant depth of experience with Berkeley’s complex


entitlement processes. As Berkeley’s former City Planning Manager for 10 years, Mr. Rhoades
developed Berkeley’s existing large project processes, and is intimately familiar with the role
that state laws can play to expedite them. As a long time Berkeley developer, Mr. Kashani has
successfully navigated these same processes in the design, construction and lease up of over a
dozen large projects during the last 20 years. CityCentric is familiar with the expectations of
Berkeley’s decision-makers. CityCentric just recently completed entitlements for a major (98
unit) project in less than 14 months. Similar sized projects in Berkeley have not been completed
in less than 30 to 36 months previously.

CityCentric’s development strategy is rooted in a set of core values that aim at


maximizing equity and value for its investors and for the community. Our understanding of
community preferences and context sensitivity avoids many of the time intensive pitfalls that
many development projects are subjected to. For instance, the project will include slightly
deeper affordability than the City requires. This is welcomed by the City’s decision-makers
while at the same time it triggers certain state law protections for the project.

23
Financing

Mr. Kashani’s 20+ years of relationships with major financial institutions facilitated
closing on an $8.5 million construction/permanent loan for a similar student-oriented housing in
the South Campus area in July 2009. Mr. Kashani has used tax-exempt bond financing and
closed on many similar construction/permanent loans in the Bay Area. The same lender has
toured the subject property and expressed strong interest in providing financing for our proposed
project.

Construction and Completion

The Manager believes that it has the capacity and experience to bring this project to
successful construction completion. Mr. Kashani has built several hundred dwelling units in
Berkeley and the greater East Bay over the last 25 years. He has intimate knowledge of the
construction industry and long-term relationships with many of the Bay Area’s best general
contractors. The timing of construction and completion is expected to correspond with the
beginning of UC Berkeley’s Academic year.

The current economic climate is providing unique challenges and opportunities for
development. CityCentric’s local financing relationships and the stable Berkeley housing market
positions us uniquely to proceed with this project. Construction pricing is at its lowest point in
years and CityCentric’s construction relationships allow us to set realistic targets. The
Company’s budget is not based on current low prices, but rather is stabilized to anticipate
bidding prices in 2011.

Lease-Up and Management

In 1995, Mr. Kashani launched the property management arm of Affordable Housing
Associates and quickly made it a profit center. This provided him with first-hand experience in
setting up adequate financial management and reporting systems, marketing and lease-up, repair,
maintenance and property management personnel, and finally tenant/owner challenges,
particularly in acquisition/rehab projects in Berkeley (new construction projects are substantially
exempt from provisions of the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Ordinance).

A student-oriented housing project poses unique management challenges. Mr. Kashani


has leased and managed more than 900 dwelling units in over 20 projects during the last 25
years. Under his direction, CityCentric currently manages a number of residential and
commercial properties in the East Bay. CityCentric’s property management knowledge and tools
will insure that cost control and a quality housing experience by our residents are both optimized.

Like the construction phase, lease up is keyed to UC Berkeley’s academic calendar. We


expect the project to be completely leased up within two to three months of the start of the
academic year. The project’s superb location and design amenities should insure a quick lease
up period.

24
Program Timing and Key Facts

The total costs of the development project are currently estimated at approximately $17.2
million, of which, at build-out, approximately $3,500,000 is projected to be the Company’s cash
equity and the remainder of $13.6 million a construction/permanent tax-exempt bond loan which
is available to projects with a “BMR” component of a minimum of 10% of the total number of
units. Only $52,500 in office rental income is projected which will be the rent the Manager will
pay by occupying approximately 1,500 square feet of the building. Though it is likely that the
Company will receive additional office rental income, the Manager has not included that income
in its projections. The Company is arranging acquisition loan financing at approximately 65% of
the purchase price of the Property for an estimated amount of $1.9 million at 6.500% interest per
annum for a 5-year term with no prepayment penalty after three years. This loan will fund
interest, property taxes, insurance and other operating cost reserves for three years.

Approximately $2,300,000 of cash equity, mainly from this Offering, is required in order
to fund the acquisition, and entitlements for the project, a phase of the project cycle which is
expected to take 24 to 31 months. From that point to the issuance of building permit and closing
of construction financing will be approximately another year, at an additional equity requirement
of about $1.2 million.

Expected Second-Round Offering and Liquidity Feature

The Manager presently expects to raise the additional cash equity required to construct
the project from a second offering of interests in the Company to take place after approval of
entitlements. In connection with the proposed second-round offering, the Manager has agreed
under certain conditions to make available to Members a partial liquidity feature. This partial
liquidity feature would be available upon three conditions: (i) the attainment of development
entitlements from the city of Berkeley on materially the same terms as proposed by the company;
(ii) an MAI appraisal for the Property post-entitlement which will support pricing of the second-
round offering Units adequate for these purposes; and (iii) no more than 49% of the aggregate
interests in Net Profits of the Company may be transferred (the maximum permitted without
triggering a “deemed dissolution” of the Company). Members tendering their Units for
redemption under those conditions will agree to accept an eight percent per annum (8%) simple
return on their investments from date of acceptance to date of payment.

Site diagrams, photos and architectural renderings are provided at Exhibit C-2.

25
ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Admission of Members

Members will be admitted to the Company initially upon sale of 46 Units, and will begin to

OPERATION OF THE COMPANY

Operation of Company Property

The Manager will manage the Company and its Property. Management compensation will
be paid as described above. Company expenses will be paid by the Company according to Article 5
of the Operating Agreement.

4 See Management Agreement, Section 3.


5 Customary, competitively-priced charges for property management.
6 See Management Agreement Section 6;
7 See Management Agreement, Section 8; sliding scale based upon degree of Manager or Affiliate participation;
subject to overall cap of 6% on all commissions and similar charges.

27
Reserves

The Company intends to maintain a prudent reserve account for unbudgeted expenses.

Closed-End, Self-Liquidating Company

The Company is a closed-end venture which will not reinvest the proceeds of refinancing
or sale in additional real property. It will wind up and liquidate when its Property is sold.

Meetings of Members and Voting Rights

The Company will report regularly to its Members (investors) at appropriate intervals,
expected to be not less than annually. The Company’s annual meeting will take place in May of
each year, at which time the results of the prior year will be reviewed and the business plan for
the current year will be described. Members (investors) have limited voting rights, restricted to
the following categories of decisions all by 2/3 vote of Percentage Interests: removal of the
Manager (limited to instances of gross negligence or willful wrongdoing); election of a new or
additional Manager; change of Company’s business purpose; amendment of the company’s
Operating Agreement (requires Manager approval); and, dissolution of the Company.

Operating Budget of Company and Manager

As depicted in these materials, the Company’s operating budget is defined and limited.
The Manager will be entitled to be reimbursed for the formation expenses of the Company
(including legal, accounting, engineering, filing and similar costs).

Accounting Matters

The Company will maintain the books and records on such basis as the Manager may
determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. The Manager may either capitalize or deduct the
Company’s expenses as applicable tax laws may allow, in its sole and absolute discretion.
Members are advised that, broadly speaking, costs of developing the property, including also
construction period interest and taxes, will be capitalized and not deducted under applicable law.
The Manager expects that, after lease-up, to the extent that the Property’s rental income generates
Distributable Cash which would be taxable to Members, the cost recovery (depreciation) deductions
realized from the new apartments and their components will at least partially offset the effect of the
taxes.

Reports to Members

The Members and any holders of Economic Interests will receive unaudited annual reports
and K-1’s within 90 days after the close of the Company's tax (calendar) year.

28
Distributions

Distributable Cash, if any, will be distributed solely when the Manager determines
distribution to be prudent.

Rights of Members

Members may not take part in the control or operation of the Company; however, they may
vote upon some matters affecting the structure of the Company, including but not limited to
replacement of the Manager in certain limited instances, dissolution of the Company and ratification
of certain contracts submitted by the Manager for approval. Certain actions of Members require a
Super-Majority vote.

Conflicts of Interest

The Company will be subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship
with the Manager and with other undertakings in which the Manager are or may become involved.
These conflicts may include the following:

Competition with Other Ventures of Manager or Members

The Manager and/or its Members sponsor and will continue to sponsor other investment
programs involving the acquisition, ownership, rental and sale of real property. These activities
may be in competition with the activities of the Company, and may generate conflicting demands
upon the time and efforts of the Manager. There may be, in addition, conflicts of interest on the part
of the Manager and its members between the Company and the other investment programs at such
time as the Company attempts to rent or sell real property, to employ resident managers, and under
other circumstances.

Agreement Not at Arm's Length

The Manager will be paid certain fees by the Company for services, including, particularly,
management. The magnitude of these fees and the time and manner of their payment have been
determined without the benefit of arm's length bargaining. However, in the opinion of the Manager,
the fees to be paid by the Company are competitive with and no less favorable to the Company than
charges which would be made by independent third parties under the same or similar circumstances
in the San Francisco Bay Area.

No Separate Counsel

Legal counsel to the Manager may also serve as counsel for the Company. Conflict of
interest is expressly waived for this purpose.

29
Compensation of Counsel

Should a dispute arise in the future between the Company and the Manager, or should there
be a necessity in the future to negotiate and prepare contracts and agreements between the Company
and the Manager other than those existing on the effective date of this offering, the Manager shall
cause the Company to retain separate legal counsel for such matters.

The CityCentric Team: Focus and Mission

CityCentric Investments, LLC, the affiliated venture of the Manager, is a real estate
development company founded by Messrs. Kashani and Rhoades in 2007, focusing primarily on
development projects in Berkeley, California. The founders combined 35 years of experience in
development and planning in the City of Berkeley. Prior to forming their partnership, they had
direct roles, collectively, in over 20 development projects in Berkeley. Mr. Kashani and Mr.
Rhoades’ relationship began when they discovered their shared vision for a more sustainable,
equitable and prosperous Berkeley. They met when Mr. Kashani was the Executive Director of
Affordable Housing Associates and Mr. Rhoades was Berkeley’s Land Use Planning Manager.
Along with their families, they have had a personal friendship for over 6 years. Their spouses
both grew up in Berkeley.

In the late 1990’s when Messrs. Rhoades and Kashani met, Berkeley was experiencing a
substantial increase in new development after 25 years of little or no new development. A period
of pitched disagreement in the community over the topic of development followed, in which the
two found common cause. Recently, the political dialogue has become somewhat less
contentious as it is generally agreed that Berkeley has fallen behind in economic opportunity,
environmental sustainability and community progress. In 2008, Berkeley’s Climate Action Plan
and the creation of a new Downtown Plan, in addition to other plans and transit improvements,
are helping to foster more support of the potential environmental, social and economic benefits
of using our land as efficiently as possible. Locating housing near public transit is recognized as
the most important way to reduce oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Bay Area
residents are looking to live a less car-dependent lifestyle. Home to the UC Berkeley campus, a
20 minute bus or BART ride to San Francisco, and its vibrant culture and recreational
opportunities makes Berkeley the ideal city in the Bay Area for investment in new housing.

CityCentric was formed to create high-quality developments in Berkeley that respond to


the needs above and also meet housing, economic and sustainable development needs that reflect
Berkeley as the home of a world-class university in the center of the San Francisco Bay Area,
one of the most desirable places to live in the United States. CityCentric seeks to optimize
economic as well as community benefits in all of its projects.

33
Berkeley has many great qualities as a city including its architectural heritage, unique
neighborhoods and social diversity. Mr. Kashani and Mr. Rhoades place a high importance on
high-quality architecture that will positively impact streets and neighborhoods while providing
housing opportunity to all segments of the population.

In addition to the necessary areas of expertise they each bring to the partnership, Mr.
Kashani and Mr. Rhoades’ public-minded values strengthen their working relationship both
between them as well as with the community at large. Their depth of experience as leaders in the
private, non-profit and public sectors brings a unique set of skills, resources, relationships and
values that are well-matched with Berkeley and the challenging development environment it
presents. As residents of Berkeley and active members in the community, they are a part of the
local planning and development community, business and financial community, non-profit
organizations and local institutions.

Fiduciary Responsibilities of the Manager

Duties Generally: The Manager is accountable to the Company and its individual
Members as a fiduciary and must exercise good faith and integrity in handling Company affairs.
Members who have questions concerning the duties of the Manager should consult with their
counsel.

Limitation of Liability and Indemnification: As permitted by the California


Corporations Code, Company's Operating Agreement and the operating agreement of the
manager provide that neither the Manager nor any of its members or employees will be
personally liable to the Company, its Investors or the Manager for monetary damages for breach
of fiduciary duty in that capacity except: (i) for any breach of the duty of loyalty to the
Company, the Manager or their Members; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving
intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) unlawful payments of dividends or
unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or (iv) for any transaction from which that person

action or proceeding by reason of his or her services to the Company.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer of the


Company as to which indemnification is being sought, nor is the Company aware of any pending
or threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification by the Manager or any of its
officers or directors.

Limitation on Indemnity

FEDERAL INCOME TAX DISCUSSION

The following discussion applies only to persons purchasing Units directly from the
Company. Prospective purchasers of Units should not view the following analysis as a substitute
for careful tax planning, particularly since the income tax consequences of an investment in
limited liability companies such as the Company are often uncertain and complex. Also, the tax
consequences will not be the same for all taxpayers. The following discussion necessarily
condenses or eliminates many details that might adversely affect some prospective purchasers of
Units. Also, the following discussion is not a legal opinion and may not be relied upon by any
prospective investor.

No assurance can be given that the tax positions described in this section would be
sustained by a court, if contested, or that legislative or administrative changes or court decisions
will not be forthcoming that would significantly modify the statements and opinions expressed
herein. Any such changes may or may not be retroactive with respect to transactions prior to the
date of such changes.

The discussion of the tax aspects contained in this Memorandum is based on law
presently in effect. Nonetheless, investors should be aware that new legislative, administrative
or judicial action could significantly change the tax aspects of the Company. Congress is
currently analyzing and reviewing proposed changes to the Federal income tax laws. The extent
and effect of any such changes, if any, is uncertain.

Counsel will not prepare or review the Company’s income tax information return, which
will be prepared by management and independent accountants for the Company. The Company
will make a number of decisions on such tax matters, such as the expensing or capitalizing of
particular items, the proper period over which capital costs may be depreciated or amortized, and
the allocation of acquisition costs between real property improvements and personal property.
Such matters will be handled by the Company, often with the advice of independent accountants
retained by the Company, and will not usually be reviewed with counsel.

As of the date of this Private Placement Memorandum, the legislative climate is volatile
and there are a variety of proposals to amend the Internal Revenue Code. It is impractical to
attempt to list them or to predict which may be enacted into law, and prospective investors are
cautioned to consult their own tax advisors on specific questions concerning pending or
proposed legislation. This pertains to, among other things, the tax rates attributable to ordinary
and capital gain. For that reason, we do not discuss the topic. Because of this uncertainty,
which affects certain of the tax aspects discussed herein, there can be no assurance that some of
the deductions claimed or positions taken by the Company will not be challenged by the IRS.
An audit of the Company’s information return may result in an increase in the Company’s gross
income, in the disallowance of certain deductions and in an audit of the income tax returns of the
Members, which could result in adjustments to non-Company items of income, deduction or
credit. Final disallowance of such deductions could adversely affect the Members. In addition,
state tax authorities may audit the Company’s tax returns, which could result in unfavorable
adjustments for Members. Investors should not purchase Units for the purpose of obtaining tax

39
shelter for income from sources other than the Company because it is unlikely that the Company
will provide any such tax shelter. The amount invested will be allocated to the purchase of both
land and improvements which, to the extent of land, is not depreciable for income tax purposes.
Prospective purchasers of Units are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to the tax
consequences to them of purchasing Units.

Tax Consequences Regarding the Company

Status as Partnership: Treasury Regulations have been issued which provide that a
limited liability company will be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes as
long as an election is not made to treat the limited liability company as an association taxable as
a corporation. The Manager has represented that no such election has been or will be made.
Therefore, the Manager believes that the Company will be treated as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes. The Code, as amended to date, and current Treasury Regulations, could be
amended in ways which could adversely affect the conclusion reached by the Manager. If the
Company were treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, each Member would be
required to include in income his distributive shares of income, gain, deductions and loss of the
Company. Consequently, each Member would be subject to tax on his distributive share of
Company income, whether or not the Company actually distributes cash in an amount equal to
the income. If for any reason the Company were treated as a corporation for tax purposes, it is
likely to be deemed to have contributed all of its assets subject to all of its liabilities to a newly
formed corporation in exchange for the corporation’s stock. The stock of the corporation is
treated as being distributed to the Members in a complete liquidation of the Company. The
income and deductions of the Company would be reflected only on its income tax return instead
of being passed through to the Members, and the Members would be treated as corporate
shareholders for tax purposes. In such event, the Company would be required to pay income tax
at the corporate tax rates on its taxable income, thereby reducing the amount of cash available for
distribution to Members. In addition, any distribution by the Company to the Members would be
taxable to them as dividends, to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, or
treated as gain from the sale of their Company interests, to the extent such distributions exceeded
both current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company and the Member’s tax basis
for his Units.

Limitations on Losses from Passive Activities: Losses from passive trade or business
activities generally may not be used to offset “portfolio income,” i.e., interest, dividends and
royalties, or salary or other active business income. Deductions from passive activities may
generally be used to offset income from passive activities. Interest deductions attributable to
passive activities are treated as passive activity deductions, and not as investment interest. Thus,
such interest deductions are subject to limitation under the passive activity loss rule and not
under the investment interest limitation. Credits from passive activities generally are limited to
the tax attributable to the income from passive activities. Passive activities include: (1) trade or
business activities in which the taxpayer does not materially participate which would include
holding an interest as a Member; and (2) rental activities. Thus, a Member’s share of the
Company’s Net Profits and Net Losses will constitute income and loss from passive activities
and will be subject to such limitation.

40
Losses (or credits that exceed the regular tax allocable to passive activities) from passive
activities that exceed passive activity income are disallowed and can be carried forward and
treated as deductions and credits from passive activities in subsequent taxable years. Disallowed
losses from an activity, except for certain dispositions to related parties, are allowed in full when
the taxpayer disposes of his entire interest in the activity in a taxable transaction.

In certain instances involving material active participation of a taxpayer in real estate


operations, there are exceptions to the above passive income rules that enable a taxpayer to
benefit from the application of passive losses in excess of passive income. This is not expected
to occur in the Company, as Members are limited in their participation rights under the
Company’s Operating Agreement.

It is quite possible that significant amounts of passive income will be generated by the
Company under its business plan, and that a substantial portion of the passive losses will be
carried forward to be realized as offsets to passive income in future years.

Allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses: Net Profits and Net Losses will be allocated
as set forth in the Operating Agreement. Although such allocations are permitted under
partnership law, the Code and Treasury Regulations require that such allocations satisfy certain
requirements. Section 702 of the Code provides that, in determining income tax, a partner must
take into income his or her “distributive share” of the Company’s income, gain, loss, deduction
or credit. The partners may specially allocate their distributive shares of such profits and losses,
thus redistributing tax liability, by provision in the operating agreement. However, the IRS will
disregard such an allocation, and will determine a partner’s distributive share in accordance with
the partner’s interest in the Company, if the allocation lacks “substantial economic effect.”

Treasury Regulations on the allocation of items of partnership income, gain, loss,


deduction and credit under Section 704(b) of the Code are concerned with whether an allocation
of partnership tax items has “substantial economic effect.” Under the Treasury Regulations, an
allocation has economic effect only if, throughout the term of the partnership, the partners’
capital accounts are maintained in accordance with the Treasury Regulations, liquidation
proceeds are to be distributed, generally speaking (but subject to payment of applicable fees) in
accordance with the partners’ percentage interests, and any partner with a deficit capital account
following the distribution of liquidation proceeds is required to restore the amount of that deficit
to the Company for payment to creditors or distribution to partners in accordance with their
positive capital account balances. If the partners’ obligation to restore deficit capital account
balances is limited, the operating agreement must contain a “qualified income offset” provision,
as described in the Treasury Regulations.

The Treasury Regulations also require that the economic effect of the allocation be
“substantial.” In general, the economic effect of an allocation is “substantial” if there is a
reasonable possibility that the allocation will affect substantially the dollar amounts to be
received by the partners from the partnership, independent of tax consequences. The economic
effect of an allocation is not substantial, however, if, at the time the allocation becomes part of
the operating agreement, (1) the after-tax economic consequences of at least one partner may, in
present value terms, be enhanced compared to such consequences if the allocation were not

41
contained in the operating agreement, and (2) there is a strong likelihood that the after-tax
economic consequences of no partner will, in present value terms, be substantially diminished
compared to such consequences if the allocation were not contained in the operating agreement.
In determining the after-tax economic benefit or detriment to a partner, tax consequences that
result from the interaction of the allocation of such partner’s tax attributes that are unrelated to
the partnership will be taken into account.

The Treasury Regulations Provide that allocations of loss or deduction attributable to


non-recourse liabilities of a partnership (“non-recourse deductions”) cannot have economic
effect because, in the event there is an economic burden that corresponds to such an allocation,
the creditor alone bears that burden. Thus, non-recourse deductions must be allocated in
accordance with the partners’ interest in the partnership. Allocations of non-recourse deductions
are deemed to be made in accordance with the partners’ interests in the partnership if, and only
if, the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) Throughout the full term of the partnership (here, the “Company”), the partners’
(here, the “Members’”) capital accounts are maintained in accordance with the Treasury
Regulations, and upon liquidation of the partnership, liquidating distributions are required to be
made in accordance with the positive capital account balances of the partners;

(ii) Beginning in the first taxable year in which there are non-recourse deductions and
thereafter throughout the full term of the partnership, the operating agreement provides for
allocations of non-recourse deductions among the partners in a manner that is reasonably
consistent with allocations, which have substantial economic effect, of some other significant
partnership item attributable to the property securing non-recourse liabilities of the partnership;

(iii) Beginning in the first taxable year of the partnership in which the partnership has
non-recourse deductions and thereafter throughout the full term of the partnership, the operating
agreement contains a “minimum gain chargeback,” as defined in the Treasury Regulations; and

(iv) All other material allocations and capital account adjustments under the operating
agreement are recognized in accordance with the Treasury Regulations.

The Operating Agreement requires that the Members’ Capital Account balances be
maintained in accordance with the Treasury Regulations, and liquidation proceeds are to be
distributed to the Members, in proportion to their positive Capital Account balances. The
Operating Agreement contains a “minimum gain chargeback” provision and non-recourse
deductions are to be allocated under the Operating Agreement in a manner that is reasonably
consistent with allocations, i.e., in accordance with allocations of Net Profits. Members are
required to restore a deficit capital account balance. The Operating Agreement also contains a
“qualified income offset” provision. Therefore, the Manager believes that all requirements of the
Code and Treasury Regulations are satisfied.

Transfers of Units: For federal income tax purposes, items of income, gain, loss,
deduction or credit of a Company may be allocated to a Member only if they are received, paid

42
or incurred by the Company during that portion of the year in which the Member is treated as a
member of the Company for tax purposes.

If any Member’s interest in a Company changes at any time during the Company’s
taxable year, each Member’s share of each item of Company income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit is to be determined by using any method prescribed by Treasury Regulations that takes
into account the varying interests of the Members in the Company during the taxable year, as
chosen in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager.

The legislative history concerning this provision indicates that a monthly convention
should be used, pursuant to which Members admitted to the Company on or after the 16th day of
a month would begin to be allocated Net Profits and Net Losses as of the first day of the
following month, and those admitted to the Company prior to the 16th day would be allocated
Net Profits and Net Losses as of the first day of the month. This is a general rule, however, and
there are certain exceptions where, for instance, the nature of events suggests that there is a tax
avoidance motive for picking a certain entry date.

When Units are transferred, the timing principle in the previous paragraph is also
followed. A new or substituted Member or acquirer of a Member’s Economic Interest will be
required to realize and report Net Profits and Net Losses under the above principle whether or
not there has been a corresponding distribution of cash by the Company to offset the effect of the
allocation. Should transfers of Units, or issuance of new Units occur in the future, both the
Manager and members should be mindful of the above.

Calculation of Member’s Adjusted Basis: Each Member’s adjusted basis in his Units
will be equal to such Member’s cash Capital Contributions increased by (i) the amount of his
share of the Net Profits of the Company and (ii) his share of non-recourse indebtedness, if any, to
which the Company property is subject. A Member’s share of non-recourse liabilities is the sum
of: (a) the Member’s share of Company minimum gain; (b) the amount of any taxable gain
allocated to the Member under Section 704(c); and (c) the Member’s share of the excess non-
recourse liabilities.

A Member’s basis in his Units is reduced, but not below zero, by (x) the amount of his
share of Company Net Losses and expenditures which are neither properly deductible nor
properly chargeable to capital account and (y) the amount of cash distributions received by the
Member from the Company. For purposes of calculating a Member’s adjusted basis in his Units,
any reduction in the amount of Company non-recourse indebtedness (if any) will be treated as a
cash distribution to such Member in accordance with his allocable share of such indebtedness
and accordingly will reduce the basis in such Member’s Units.

The Treasury Regulations employ an economic risk of loss analysis to determine whether
a Company liability is a recourse or non-recourse liability and to determine the Members’ shares
of any liability of the Company. Under the Treasury Regulations, a Company liability is a
recourse liability to the extent that any partner or related person bears the economic risk of loss
for that liability. A Member’s share of any recourse liability of a Company equals the portion, if
any, of the economic risk of loss for such liability that is borne by the Member.

43
A Member bears the economic risk of loss for a Company liability to the extent that the
Member (or a related person) would bear the economic burden of discharging the obligation
represented by that liability if the Company were unable to do so (reduced by any right of
reimbursement). In the case of most limited liability companies, a member generally will not
bear the economic risk of loss for any Company liability because the Member has no obligation
to contribute additional capital to the Company.

If no Member bears the economic risk of loss for a Company liability, the liability is a
non-recourse liability of the Company. An exception to this rule applies in the case of a Member
(or related person) who makes a non-recourse loan to the Company. In such a case, the lending
or related partner is considered to bear the economic risk of loss for such liability. Another
exception applies, as here, to the extent that an assessment provision in the Operating Agreement
is applied and Members contribute pursuant to an assessment demand.

To the extent that a Member’s share of Company Net Losses exceeds the adjusted basis
of such Member’s Units at the end of the Company year in which such Net Losses occurs, such
excess Net Losses cannot be utilized in that year by the Member for any purpose, but is allowed
as a deduction at the end of the first succeeding Company taxable year, and subsequent Company
taxable years, to the extent that the adjusted basis of such Member’s Units at the end of any such
year exceeds zero (before reduction by such excess Net Losses from a prior year).

Treatment of Cash Distributions from the Company: Distributions to a limited


partner may take the form of either actual distributions or so-called "deemed distributions"
arising from a reduction of his share of partnership liabilities that are included in his basis. A
deemed distribution is treated as a cash distribution and generally can result from either a
reduction in a limited partner's profits interest or from repayment by the partnership of all or a
part of the liabilities that are included in the limited partner's basis. For example, Partnership
income is generally allocated in accordance with cash distributions. Similarly, a deemed
distribution would result from the reduction in Limited Partners' profit share that would follow
from the admission of additional partners to the Partnership or the transfer of Partnership Units.

Distributions generally do not generate taxable income to a partner. However, if the


amount of cash actually distributed or deemed to be distributed to a partner exceeds his basis in
his partnership interest, the distribution is treated as a sale or exchange of his partnership interest,
and the partner recognizes gain to the extent of the excess distributions. The character of this
gain as capital or ordinary is governed by the rules applicable to the sale of a partner's interest
but normally would qualify for taxation at long-term capital gain rates so long as all partners
receive pro rata distributions. A distribution generally will not generate tax losses for the
recipient unless it is a liquidating distribution.

An actual or deemed distribution could generate taxable income to a Limited Partner if


prior Partnership losses and actual and deemed distributions had reduced his basis in his Units to
a point that it was less than the actual or deemed distribution in question. Deemed distributions
thus could create income for Partners even though no cash is actually distributed to them.
Distributions generally create no deductions for the distributing partnership.

44
Net Profits in Excess of Cash Distributions: It is possible that a Member’s share of the
Company Net Profits may exceed cash distributed to him with respect to his Units and such
Member’s tax liability on that share may even exceed such distributions.

Treatment of Liquidating Distributions: The Manager is cognizant of “deemed


liquidation” rules contained within the Code and will endeavor to avoid unintentional triggering
of a partnership dissolution for tax purposes. Generally, upon liquidation or termination of the
Company, gain will be recognized by a Member only to the extent that cash is distributed
(including his share of any reduction in Company non-recourse liabilities) in excess of such
Member’s adjusted basis in his Units at the time of distribution.

Treatment of Gain or Loss on Disposition of Units: It is not expected that any public
market will develop for the Units. Furthermore, Members may not be able to liquidate their
Units promptly at reasonable prices since all assignees of Units may be admitted as Substitute
Members only with the consent of the Manager.

Any gain or loss realized by a Member upon the sale or exchange of Units will generally
be treated as capital gain or loss, provided that such Member is not deemed to be a “dealer” in
such securities. However, any portion of the gain that is attributable to unrealized receivables
(which includes, for these purposes, depreciation recapture attributable to the Property) or
inventory items of the Company that have substantially appreciated in value will generally be
treated as ordinary income. If the Member’s holding period for the Units sold or exchanged is
more than one year, the portion of any gain realized that is capital gain will be treated as long-
term capital gain.

In determining the amount realized upon the sale or exchange of Units, a Member must
include, among other things, his share of Company indebtedness. Therefore, it is possible that
the gain realized on a Member’s sale of Units may exceed the cash proceeds of the sale, and, in
some cases, the income taxes payable with respect to the gain realized on the sale may exceed
such cash proceeds.

Treatment of Gifts of Units: Generally, no gain or loss is recognized for federal income
tax purposes as a result of a gift of property. However, in the event that a gift (including a
charitable contribution) of a Unit is made at a time when a Member’s share of the Company’s
non-recourse indebtedness exceeds the adjusted basis of his Units, such Member may recognize
gain for income tax purposes upon the transfer. Such gain, if any, will generally be treated as
capital gain except for the portion of any such gain attributable to any unrealized receivables
(which includes, for these purposes, depreciation recapture attributable to the Company property)
or inventory items of the Company that have substantially appreciated in value, which will
generally be treated as ordinary income. Gifts of Units may also be subject to a gift tax imposed
pursuant to the rules generally applicable to all gifts of property.

Sale or Other Disposition of Company Property: In general, if the Property


constitutes a capital asset in the hands of the Company, any profit or loss realized by the
Company on its sale or exchange (except to the extent that such profit represents depreciation
recapture taxable as ordinary income) will be treated as capital gain or loss under the Code.

45
Capital gain will be taxed to individuals at varying rates based on length of holding period. If
however, it is determined that the Company is a “dealer” in real estate for federal income tax
purposes or that the assets sold constitute “Section 1231 assets” such assets are capital assets
involuntarily converted and depreciable business property held for more than 12 months), the
gain or loss will not be capital gain or loss.

In the event the Company is deemed a “dealer” and the Property is not considered to be
capital assets or Section 1231 assets, any gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of such
Property would be treated as ordinary income or loss. As a general rule, the holding of parcels of
real property for investment is not the type of activity that would cause a person or entity to be
considered a “dealer” in real property. However, to the extent that the Company undertakes
subdivision of the Property there is some risk that the IRS may take the position that the
Company has undertaken “dealer” activity. This risk will increase dramatically if subdivision is
completed and individual lots are sold. To the extent that the Company is held to be a “dealer”
the result would be the treatment of taxable gain as ordinary income rather than capital gain. The
Manager intends to avoid this risk. The question of “dealer” status is a question of fact to be
determined at the time of the sale of the Property. The Company may obtain a condominium
(subdivision) map on the project as part of the entitlement process, although not intending to sell
the individual unit in the foreseeable future. To the extent that individual condominium units
could be sold at a later time, the “dealer” issue may come under greater scrutiny. In this
instance, it is important to plan adequately for future events and contingencies in order to avoid
involuntary conversion of the gain upon liquidation from capital to ordinary in nature.

In the event that assets sold or involuntarily converted constitute Section 1231 assets, a
Member would combine his distributive share of Company gains or losses attributable to such
assets with any other Section 1231 gains or losses realized by such Member in that year, and the
resultant net Section 1231 gains or losses would be taxed as capital gains or constitute ordinary
losses, as the case may be. This treatment may be altered depending on each Member’s
disposition of Section 1231 property over several years. In general, net Section 1231 gains are
recaptured as ordinary income to the extent of net Section 1231 losses in the five preceding
taxable years.

In determining the amount realized upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of the
Property, the Company must include, among other things, the amount of any liability to which
the Property is subject. Furthermore, the Company may carry back purchase money obligations
as part of the consideration for the sale of the Property. The Company may attempt to structure
any such sale so as to qualify as an “installment sale” for federal income tax purposes, but there
can be no assurance that any such sale could or would so qualify. Unless such sale qualifies as
an “installment sale,” the Company would generally be deemed to have received as proceeds of
such sale the fair market value of such purchase money obligations. Thus, the Company’s gain
on the disposition of any such property may exceed the cash proceeds, if any, of such
disposition, and in some cases the income taxes payable by the Members with respect to such
gain may exceed the cash proceeds, if any.

Foreclosure: If the Property is later financed, and in the event of a foreclosure of a


mortgage or deed of trust on the Property, the Company would realize gain, if any, in an amount

46
equal to the excess of the outstanding mortgage over the adjusted tax basis of the Property, even
though the Company might realize an economic loss upon such a foreclosure. In addition, the
Members could be required to pay income taxes with respect to such gain even though they
receive no cash distributions as a result of such foreclosure.

Company Termination for Tax Accounting Purposes: The Company will terminate
for tax purposes if, within a 12-month period, 50% or more of the capital and profits interests in
the Company are sold or exchanged. Termination of the Company for tax purposes would not
cause a Member to recognize gain unless such Member’s share of the Company’s cash (or cash
deemed distributed as a result of relief of indebtedness) exceeded the adjusted basis of his Units.
Nor would it cause a Member to recognize loss unless the Company’s assets at the time of
termination consisted solely of cash or certain unrealized receivables or substantially appreciated
inventory and the Member’s share thereof was exceeded by his adjusted basis. Article VII of the
Company’s Operating Agreement contains significant protections enabling the Manager to
protect the Company and Members from such unintended consequences.

Dissolution: Dissolution of the Company pursuant to state law prior to expiration of its
term should not by itself create tax consequences for the Members unless the dissolution is
followed by a liquidation of the Company. Such dissolution and liquidation might create adverse
tax and economic consequences for the Company. For example, if, as a result of dissolution, the
Company were required to liquidate the Property during a limited period of time, the Company
might sustain substantial economic losses based on the original cost of the Property.
Nevertheless, the Company might realize substantial taxable gain on such disposition as a result
of the use of borrowing in connection with acquisition of the Property. See “Sale or Other
Disposition of Company Property” under this heading.

Tax Elections: The Company may make certain elections for federal income tax
reporting purposes that could result in various items of Company income, gain, loss, deduction
and credit being treated differently for tax and Company purposes than for accounting purposes.

The Code provides for optional adjustments to the basis of Company property for
purposes of measuring both depreciation and gain upon distributions of Company property
(Section 734) and transfers of Units (Section 743) provided that a Company election has been
made pursuant to Section 754. The general effect of such an election is that transferees of Units
are treated, for purposes of computing depreciation and gain, as though they had acquired a
direct interest in the Company assets, and the Company is treated for such purposes, upon certain
distributions to partners, as though it had newly acquired an interest in the Company assets and
therefore acquired a new cost basis for such assets. Any such election, once made, is irrevocable
without the consent of the IRS.

As a result of the complexities and added expense of the tax accounting required to
implement such an election, the Manager does not presently intend to make such an election,
although they are empowered to do so by the Operating Agreement. Therefore, any benefits
which might be available to the Members by reason of such an adjustment to basis will be
foreclosed. In addition, a Member may have greater difficulty in selling Units since the
purchaser will obtain no current tax benefits from the investment to the extent that such

47
investment exceeds his allocable share of the Company’s basis in its assets and may be required
to recognize taxable income to the extent of such excess, even though the purchaser does not
realize any economic profit.

Deductibility, Capitalization and/or Amortization of Interest and Start-Up Expenses

Interest will accrue and be payable on any loan used to acquire, and secured by, the
Property. The deduction of such interest is limited by the rules limiting the deductibility of
passive losses, discussed above. See “Limitations on Losses and Credits from Passive
Activities” under this heading.

The IRS takes the position that, under Section 263 and applicable Regulations, costs
incurred by the Company which are directly or indirectly connected with the construction of new
improvements must, during the construction period, be capitalized rather than deducted. This
includes the actual costs of construction (materials and fully-loaded labor costs), as well as
indirect costs broadly applicable to the development process, such as utilities, insurance, tools,
administrative costs and design costs. Mortgage interest and real property taxes attributable to
the actual construction period (beginning when site preparation physically commences and
ending when the work of improvement concludes and the property is placed in service) must
likewise be capitalized.

Section 195 of the Code provides taxpayers with an election to amortize start-up
expenditures ratably over a period of at least 60 months commencing with the month in which
the new business begins. A start-up expenditure eligible for such amortization must be paid or
incurred in connection with investigating the creation or acquisition of an active trade or business
or paid or incurred in connection with creating an active trade or business. Such amounts must
also be of a type which, if paid or incurred in connection with the expansion to an existing trade
or business in the same field, would be allowable as a current deduction in the year paid or
incurred. In the case of a Company, the eligibility for the new election to amortize is made at the
Company level.

Organization and Syndication Expenses

Expenses paid or incurred in connection with the organization and syndication of a


partnership must be capitalized. Expenses of organizing a partnership may be amortized over a
period of not less than 60 months. However, syndication expenses may not be deducted
currently nor amortized. The determination as to whether expenses are organization or
syndication expenses is a factual determination which will initially be made by the Company.

Depreciation and Cost Recovery

Current federal income tax law permits the Company, as an owner of improved real
property, to take depreciation deductions based on its share of the entire cost of the depreciable
improvements, even though such improvements are financed in part with borrowed funds. If
however the purchase price of the Property and the nonrecourse liabilities to which the Property
is subject are in excess of the fair market value of the Property, the Company will not be entitled

48
to take depreciation deductions to the extent that the deductions are derived from such excess.
Under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System enacted by Congress in 1986, the
Property will be eligible to be depreciated on a 27.5-year basis using a straight line method.
Certain components of the Property may be eligible for depreciation over shorter periods of time.
The Manager will determine, in his sole discretion, which method on balance best suits the
Company and its Members and will make any required election accordingly. Depreciation (cost
recovery) taken in excess of straight line is generally subject to a 25% tax attributable to the
“recaptured” amount upon sale.

Depreciation deductions can only be claimed for that portion of real property which is
depreciable. Since land is not depreciable, an allocation must be made between the value of
improvements on real estate and the underlying land. The allocation of purchase price between
depreciable and non-depreciable items is a question of fact, and if the amount allocated by the
Company to depreciable items is decreased and the amount allocated to non-depreciable items
such as land is increased, Company losses for federal income tax purposes will be decreased.
The Manager has not yet determined how to allocate the initial purchase price of the Property
between land and improvements and will make this determination in the best interests of all
Members. The Manager will likewise have a certain amount of discretion, subject to applicable
law, in determining the reporting position of the Company related to the newly-constructed
improvements, including, in addition to the basic decision between straight-line and accelerated
cost recovery, whether to recover cost by asset classes rather than treating the improvements as a
whole. Using the asset class approach, a stronger tax sheltering result can be achieved for
Members in early years. However, cost recovery over straight line is recaptured at a higher rate
than capital gains in the year of sale.

With respect to individual Members, there are penalties imposed by the IRS if there is a
substantial value overstatement for the Property. The Manager does not anticipate making
aggressive determinations on such matters and this topic, accordingly, should not be a matter of
concern.

Tax-Exempt Use Property

Units may be sold to both taxable and certain tax-exempt entities. In relation to tax-
exempt entities, the following discussion applies. Section 168(h)(6) of the Code provides that in
certain instances where an entity taxed as a partnership has as partners both tax-exempt entities
and persons or entities not exempt from taxation, a portion of the property owned by the
Company, to the extent depreciable, will be deemed tax-exempt use property and will be
required to be depreciated over the greater of 40 years or 125% of any long-term lease. Under
Section 168(h)(6) of the Code, unless the Company's allocation of Company tax items is
determined to be a qualified allocation, any property owned by the Company will be deemed to
be tax-exempt use property to the extent of the tax-exempt entities' proportionate share of the
Company. One of the requirements to have a qualified allocation is that the allocations of
Company items in the Company must have substantial economic effect under Section 704(b)(2)
of the Code. Based upon the nature of the investment program, it is unlikely that this risk will
arise. However, if a portion of the Property is required to be depreciated over 40 years,
depreciation deductions to all Members will be decreased accordingly.

49
Investment by Qualified Plans and Individual Retirement Accounts

Qualified plans (i.e., any pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan that is qualified
under Section 401(a) of the Code), tax exempt entities, including individual retirement accounts,
although generally exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code,
nevertheless are subject to tax to the extent that their unrelated business taxable income
("UBTI") exceeds $1,000 during any tax year. An allocation of income from property that is
"debt financed property" will result in UBTI. Debt financed property is generally defined to
mean any property as to which there is "acquisition indebtedness." The Company will likely
generate UBTI as the purchase of the Property has been structured, and reference is made to the
calculations of the Company’s accountants provided herewith. Qualified plans (but not
individual retirement accounts or other tax-exempt entities) may, under a special rule set forth in
Section 514(c)(9)(E) of the Code, avoid the characterization of their distributive share of income
from debt-financed property of an entity taxed as a partnership as UBTI unless any of the
following factors apply: (1) the price for the acquisition or improvement of the real property is
not a fixed amount determined as of the date of the acquisition or the completion of the
improvements; (2) the amount of indebtedness or any other amount payable with respect to such
indebtedness, or the time for making any payments of any such amount, is dependent, in whole
or in part, upon any revenue, income, or profits derived from such real property; (3) the real
property is at any time after its acquisition leased to the person selling such property or certain
persons related to the seller; (4) the real property is acquired from, or is at any time after the
acquisition leased to, certain related persons; (5) any person described in clause (3) or (4)
provides financing in connection with the acquisition or improvements; or (6) none of the
following is true: (a) all of the partners are "qualified organizations"; (b) each allocation to a
partner which is a qualified organization is a "qualified allocation"; or (c) the "fractions rule" in
Section 541(c)(9)(E) of the Code is met. A partnership or limited liability company treated as a
partnership will still comply with the rules under Section 514(c)(9)(E) if financing is obtained
from the seller of the property as long as the terms of the financing are on "commercially
reasonable terms."

For certain other entities - charitable remainder trusts and charitable remainder unitrusts
(as defined in Section 664 of the Code) - the receipt of any UBTI may have extremely adverse
tax consequences. For example, if such a trust or unitrust received any UBTI during a taxable
year, all of its taxable income from all sources will be taxable.

In considering an investment in the Company of a portion of the assets of a qualified


plan, a fiduciary should consider the factors discussed in "Investments By Qualified Plans and
Individual Retirement Accounts."

Company Tax Returns: The federal income tax returns of the Company may be audited
by the IRS and such an audit may result in adjustments to the’ various items reported by the
Company. For example, various deductions claimed by the Company on its returns of income
could be disallowed in whole or in part on audit, thereby resulting in an increase in the Net
Profits or a reduction in the Net Losses of the Company. The disallowance of such deductions in
whole or in part could increase a Member’s taxable income without the receipt of any additional
cash distributions from the Company.

50
The IRS has shifted the focus of its audits from the partner level to the Company level.
Members may be bound by actions taken by the Manager at the Company level during the course
of an audit.

Payments to the Manager and Affiliates: The Manager and its Affiliates will receive
various fees described elsewhere in this Memorandum. The tax treatment of the significant fees
is set forth below.

The Manager will treat the expenses of the Offering as non-amortizable syndication cost,
and these costs will be capitalized. These costs consist of selling costs, legal and accounting
fees, engineering and other costs and expenses directly related to the Offering. Organization fees
will either be capitalized or amortized over a 60 month period as maybe most advisable.

The Real Estate Acquisition Fee should be treated as a commission at purchase and
therefore capitalized and added to the basis of the Property. The Subordinated Property
Disposition Fee should be treated as a commission at sale and deducted.

The Development Fee May be subject to a certain degree of interpretation. The most
conservative approach to the Development Fee is that it falls into that category of fees and
charges which are intended to be capitalized as they reflect construction management, project
management and entitlement services during the construction period. However, to the extent that
they can be properly categorized as falling outside those categories, as for instance relating to
member communications, publicity and advertising, an allocable portion of the Development Fee
could be currently deductible. These determinations relate, however, to future events and cannot
be accurately forecast at the present time.

Management and lease-up fees (attributable to ordinary short-term apartment leases)


should be deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense to the extent that the fee
represents an ordinary and necessary expense and do not exceed the reasonable value of the
services for which they are paid. Because the determination of whether these fees qualify as
ordinary and necessary business expenses is inherently factual, there is no assurance that this
determination may not be challenged by the IRS or that this determination would be upheld if
challenged by the IRS. However, in the event the management fees are not currently deductible,
they should be a capital expenditure related to the Property.

The Company will reimburse the Manager for actual costs incurred in furnishing certain
administrative services and facilities to the Company according to the Management Agreement.
The allocation of such costs between deductible expenses and nondeductible expenses will
depend upon a determination to be made when such costs are actually incurred in the future, and
counsel has expressed no opinion on the deductibility of such costs.

General Considerations

At-Risk Rules: A Member that is an individual or closely held corporation will be


unable to deduct his distributive share of Company Net Losses, if any, to the extent such Net
Losses exceeds the amount such Member has “at risk.” A Member’s initial amount at risk will

51
equal the sum of: (i) the amount of money invested by the Member in the Company; (ii) the basis
of any property contributed by such Member to the Company; and (iii) the amount of borrowed
funds used in Company activities to the extent that the Member is personally liable with respect
to such indebtedness.

A Member can include in the amount at risk such Member’s share of qualified non-
recourse financing in the event the Company holds real property. The Company’s loans secured
by the Property may not be considered qualified non-recourse financing. Although conceptually
the Loan does not violate the intent of the “at risk” rules, the uncertainty arises because in order
to qualify as “qualified non-recourse financing,” no person can be “personally liable.” Since the
Company is personally liable, the exception for qualified non-recourse financing may not apply
to the Loan, and consequently, the Members may not be “at risk” for these Loans.

A Member’s amount at risk will be reduced by the amount of any cash distributed to such
Member and the amount of Net Losses allocated to such Member, and will be increased by the
amount of Net Profits allocated to such Member. Net Losses not allowed under the at risk
provisions may be carried forward to subsequent taxable years and used when the amount at risk
increases.

Alternative Minimum Tax: Taxpayers may be subject to the alternative minimum tax
in addition to the regular income tax. The alternative minimum tax applies to designated items
of tax preference.

The laws on alternative minimum tax may change in Congress in the near future. For
further information concerning tax preferences and the alternative minimum tax, prospective
Members are strongly advised to consult their individual tax advisors.

Activities Not Engaged in for Profit: Under Section 183 of the Code, certain losses
from activities not engaged in for profit are not allowed as deductions from other income. The
determination of whether an activity is engaged in for profit is based on all the facts and
circumstances, and no one factor is determinative, although the Treasury Regulations indicate
that an expectation of profit from the disposition of property will qualify as a profit motive.
Section 183 contains a presumption that an activity is engaged in for profit if income exceeds
deductions in at least three out of five consecutive years. Although it is reasonable for a
prospective Member to conclude that he can realize a profit from an investment in the Company
as a result of cash flow and appreciation of the Company’s property, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be found to be engaged in an activity for profit due to the fact that the
applicable test is based on the facts and circumstances existing from time to time.

The IRS is paying increased attention to the application of Section 183 to partnerships.
Moreover, the Tax Court has accepted the argument by the IRS that Section 183 applies to the
activities of a Company (rather than the partner) and that the provisions of Section 183 are
applied at the Company level. The Company intends to conduct all operations in a businesslike
manner in order to generate a profit from operations and sale of the Property. In the event
Section 183 were applied with respect to the Units of a Member, a substantial portion of the tax
benefits associated with this Offering would be eliminated.

52
General Limitations on the Deductibility of Interest: In addition to the limitations on
the deductibility of interest incurred in connection with passive activities, the following is an
additional restriction on the deduction of interest. The Company does not anticipate prepaying
any interest, but it is possible that the Company, if it refinances a loan, will pay certain amounts
commonly referred to as “points,” which may be considered prepayments of interest for federal
income tax purposes. Interest prepayments (including “points”) must be capitalized and
amortized over the life of the Loan with respect to which they are paid. See also “Accrual
Method of Accounting” under this heading.

Tax Shelter Registration and Investor Lists

The organizer of a “tax shelter” must register the tax shelter with the IRS. The Manager
believes that, based on the intended operations of the Company, the Company will not satisfy the
definitional requirements for a “tax shelter” and will not be registered with the IRS.
Consequently, the Company and the Members may be subject to penalty in the event the IRS
determines that the Company was required to register as a tax shelter.

State and Local Taxes

In addition to the federal income tax consequences described above, prospective investors
should consider the state tax consequences of an investment in the Company. A Member’s
distributive share of the taxable income or loss of the Company generally will be required to be
included in determining his reportable income for state and local tax purposes.

United States Income Tax Considerations for Foreign Investors

The federal income tax treatment applicable to a nonresident alien or foreign corporation
investing in the Company is highly complex and will vary depending on the particular
circumstances of such investor and the effect of any applicable income tax treaties. Each foreign
investor should consult his own tax advisor as to the advisability of investing in the Company.
This Memorandum does not address the United States income tax considerations for foreign
investors. THEREFORE, INVESTORS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX
COUNSEL REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF AN INVESTMENT IN
UNITS.

Qualified Plans and Individual Retirement Accounts – Additional Tax Issues

In considering an investment in the Company of a portion of the assets of a qualified


plan, a fiduciary, taking into account the facts and circumstances of such qualified plan, should
consider, among other things: (i) whether the investment is in accordance with the documents
and instruments governing such qualified plan, (ii) the definition of plan assets under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), (iii) whether the investment
satisfies the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA, (iv) whether, under
Section 404(a)(1)(B) of ERISA, the investment is prudent, considering the nature of an
investment in and the compensation structure of the Company and the fact that there is not
expected to be a market created in which the fiduciary can sell or otherwise dispose of the Units,

53
(v) that the Company has had no history of operations, (vi) whether the Company or any affiliate
is a fiduciary or a party in interest to the qualified plan and (vii) that an investment in the
Company may cause the qualified plan to recognize UBTI. See "Federal Income Tax
Consequences - Investment by Qualified Plans and Individual Retirement Accounts - Unrelated
Business Taxable Income." The prudence of a particular investment must be determined by the
responsible fiduciary (usually the trustee, plan administrator, or investment manager) with
respect to each qualified plan, taking into account all of the facts and circumstances of the
investment.

ERISA provides that Units may not be purchased by a qualified plan if the Company or
affiliate is a fiduciary or party in interest (as defined in Sections 3(21) and 3(14) of ERISA) to
the plan unless such purchase is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of Section
406 of ERISA. Under ERISA, it is the responsibility of the fiduciary responsible for purchasing
the Units not to engage in such transactions. Section 4975 of the Code has similar restrictions
applicable to transactions between disqualified persons and qualified plans or individual
retirement accounts, which could result in the imposition of excise taxes on the Company, unless
and until such a prohibited transaction is corrected.

In the case of an individual retirement account ("IRA"), if the Company or Affiliate is a


disqualified person with respect to the IRA, the purchase of a Investor Unit by the IRA could
instead cause the entire value of the IRA to be taxable to the IRA sponsor.

The Department of Labor ("DOL") has promulgated final regulations ("DOL


Regulations"), 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, that define what constitutes "Plan Assets" in a
situation in which a qualified plan invests in a limited liability company, or other similar entity.
If assets of the Company are classified as Plan Assets, the significant penalties discussed below
could be imposed under certain circumstances.

Under the DOL Regulations, if a qualified plan, invests in an equity interest of an entity
that is neither a publicly offered security nor a security issued by an investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, its assets include both the equity interest
and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity, unless it is established
that the entity is an "operating company" or equity participation in the entity by benefit plan
investors is not "significant."

The Units will not qualify as publicly offered securities and will not be issued by an
investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Nonetheless, if one of the exceptions described below is satisfied, the Company's assets
may avoid being classified as Plan Assets. The Company's assets may be excluded from Plan
Assets under the DOL Regulations if the Company is considered an "operating company." The
term "operating company" includes an entity that is a "real estate operating company," as defined
in the DOL Regulations. Under the DOL Regulations, an entity is a "real estate operating
company" if:

54
(i) for any day during a 90-day annual valuation period at least 50% of its assets,
valued at cost (other than short-term investments pending long-term commitment or distribution
to investors), are invested in real estate which is managed or developed and with respect to
which such entity has the right to substantially participate directly in the management or
development activities; and

(ii) the entity, in the ordinary course of its business, is engaged directly in real estate
management or development activities. Example (8) in the DOL Regulations indicates that an
entity may still qualify as a "real estate operating company" when management of the entity's
real estate may be done by independent contractors if the entity retains certain control over the
independent contractor and frequently consults with and advises the independent contractor.

The Manager cannot assure investors that the Company would satisfy the definition of an
operating company because of the high degree of control exercised by the Manager pursuant to
the Operating Agreement. Additionally, because this determination involves questions of fact
regarding future activities, complete assurance on this issue cannot be provided. Further, it
should be noted that it is possible the Company would not qualify as a real estate operating
company in each year of their existence. That is, the fact that the Company satisfies the real
estate operating company rules in one year has no bearing on its ability to satisfy such rules in
later years.

If the Company is classified as a "real estate operating company," an investment by a


qualified plan in the Company should be treated only as an investment in an equity interest in the
Company and not as an investment in an undivided interest in each of the Company's assets.

If the Company does not qualify as an "operating company" under DOL Regulations, a
qualified plan's investment in the Company will be treated as an investment in an equity interest
in the Company, and not as an investment in an undivided interest in each of the underlying
assets, only if equity participation in the Company by benefit plan investors (i.e., qualified plans
and individual retirement accounts) is not "significant." Under the DOL Regulations, equity
participation in the Company by benefit plan investors would be "significant" on any date if,
immediately after the most recent acquisition of any equity interest in the Company, 25% or
more of the total value of the Units is held by benefit plan investors. In determining whether the
25% benefit plan investors ownership is exceeded, the ownership of any person with
discretionary authority with respect to Company assets is disregarded.

The Operating Agreement provides that less than 25% of the total value of the Units will
be acquired by benefit plan investors. Therefore, assuming that less than 25% of the Units are in
fact owned by benefit plans, the Company's assets should not be treated as Plan Assets.
However, it is possible that future sales of Units will result in benefit plan investors owning 25%
or more of the total value of the Units. In that event, the exemption from the DOL Regulations
afforded to entities in which benefit plan participation is not "significant" would not be available.

In the event that the Company is deemed to hold Plan Assets, additional issues relating to
the Plan Assets, and "prohibited transaction" concepts of ERISA and the Code arise. Anyone
with discretionary authority with respect to the Company's assets could become a "fiduciary" of

55
the qualified plans within the meaning of ERISA. As a fiduciary, such person would be required
to meet the terms of the qualified plan regarding asset investment and would be subject to
prudent investment and diversification standards. Any such fiduciary could be a defendant in an
ERISA lawsuit brought by the DOL, a qualified plan participant or another fiduciary to require
that the Company's assets and the investment and stewardship thereof meet these and other
ERISA standards.

In addition, if the Company is deemed to hold Plan assets, investment in the Company
might constitute an improper delegation of fiduciary responsibility to the Manager and expose
the fiduciary of a qualified plan investor to co-fiduciary liability under ERISA for any breach by
the Manager of its ERISA fiduciary duties.

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975(c) of the Code also prohibit qualified plans from
engaging in certain transactions with specified parties involving Plan Assets. Code Section
4975(c) also prevents IRAs from engaging in such transactions.

One of the transactions prohibited is the furnishing of services between a plan and a
"party in interest" or a "disqualified person." Included in the definition of "party in interest"
under Section 3(14) of ERISA and the definition of "disqualified person" in Section 4975(e)(2)
of the Code are "persons providing services to the plan." If the Manager or certain entities and
individuals related to the Manager have previously provided services to a benefit plan investor,
then the Manager could be characterized as a "party in interest" under ERISA and/or a
"disqualified person" under the Code with respect to such benefit plan investor. If such a
relationship exists, it could be argued that the Affiliate of the Manager is being compensated
directly out of Plan Assets rather than Company assets for the provision of services, i.e.,
establishment of the Company and making it available as an investment to the qualified plan. If
this were the case, absent a specific exemption applicable to the transaction, a prohibited
transaction could be determined to have occurred between the qualified plan and the Company.

If the Company's assets are treated as Plan Assets, a prohibited transaction would also
occur if a party with whom the Company enters into a transaction is a "party in interest" or
"disqualified person" with respect to a qualified plan.

Another type of transaction prohibited by ERISA and the Code is one in which
fiduciaries of a qualified plan or the person who establishes an individual retirement account
engage in self-dealing or in co-investment with the plan or account. Accordingly, Affiliates of
the Manager are not permitted to purchase Units with assets of any benefit plan investor if they
(i) have investment discretion with respect to such assets or (ii) regularly give individualized
investment advice which serves as the primary basis for the investment decisions made with
respect to such assets. In addition, no fiduciary of a qualified plan or owner of an individual
retirement account should purchase Units both individually and with assets of the benefit plan
investor. The Manager will take particular care to assure that it does not become a plan
fiduciary.

If the Company's assets are treated as Plan Assets and if it is determined by the DOL that
the acquisition of a Investor Unit or another transaction between the Company and a party in

56
interest by a qualified plan constitutes a prohibited transaction, then any party in interest, which
may include a fiduciary or sponsor of a qualified plan, that has engaged in any such prohibited
transaction could be required to: (i) restore to the qualified plan any profit realized on the
transaction; (ii) make good to the qualified plan any losses suffered by the qualified plan as a
result of such investment; (iii) pay an excise tax equal to 15% of the amount involved (i.e., the
amount invested in the Company), for each year during which the investment is in place; and (iv)
eliminate the prohibited transaction by reversing the transaction and making good to the
Company any losses resulting from the prohibited transaction. Moreover, if any fiduciary or
party in interest is ordered to correct the transaction by either the IRS or the DOL and such
transaction is not corrected within a 90-day period, the party in interest involved could also be
liable for an additional excise tax in an amount equal to 100% of the amount involved (i.e., the
amount invested in the Company), for each taxable year commencing with the year in which the
90-day period expires and ending with the year in which the prohibited transaction is corrected.
Also, the IDOL could assert additional civil penalties against a fiduciary or any other person who
knowingly participates in any such breach.

With respect to an investing IRA, the tax-exempt status of the account could be lost if the
investment constitutes a prohibited transaction under Section 408(e)(2) of the Code by reason of
the Company engaging in the prohibited transaction with the IRA or the individual who
established the IRA or his beneficiary. If the IRA were to lose its tax-exempt status, the entire
value of the IRA would be considered to be distributed and taxable to the IRA sponsor. Finally,
if the Company's assets were determined to be "Plan Assets," fiduciaries of such qualified plans
and IRAs might under certain circumstances be subject to liability for actions taken by the
Manager or its Affiliates. In addition, certain of the transactions described in the Memorandum
in which the Company may engage, including certain transactions with Affiliates, might
constitute prohibited transactions under the Code and ERISA with respect to such qualified plans
and IRAs, even if the acquisition of Units did not constitute a prohibited transaction. Moreover,
fiduciaries with responsibilities to qualified plans and/or IRAs subject to ERISA's fiduciary duty
rules might be deemed to have improperly delegated their fiduciary responsibilities to the
Manager in violation of ERISA.

LLC Operating Agreement A-6 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


prudent reserve account, whose level shall be established in the reasonable judgment of the
Manager.

3.2 Maintenance of Capital Account. An individual Capital Account for


each Member shall be maintained in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulation
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and adjusted in accordance with the following provisions:

3.2.1 A Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by that Member’s Capital


Contributions, that Member’s share of Net Profits, and any items in the nature of income or gain
that are specially allocated to that Member pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

3.2.2 A Member’s Capital Account shall be increased by the amount of any


Company liabilities assumed by that Member subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(c).

3.2.3 A Member’s Capital Account shall be decreased by (a) the amount of cash
distributed to that Member (exclusive of expense reimbursements and loan payments); (b) the
fair market value of any property of the Company so distributed, net of liabilities secured by
such distributed property that the distributee Member is considered to assume or to be subject to
under Code Section 752; and (c) the amount of any items in the nature of expenses or Net Losses
that are specially allocated to that Member pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

3.2.4 A Member’s Capital Account shall be reduced by the Member’s share of


any expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(E), or which are treated
as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) (including syndication expenses and losses nondeductible under Code
Sections 267(a)(1) or 707(b)).

accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(d)(2).

3.2.7 Each Member’s Capital Account shall be increased or decreased as


necessary to reflect a revaluation of the Company’s property assets in accordance with the

including the special rules under Treasury Regulation Section 1.701-(b)(4), as applicable. The
provisions of this Agreement respecting the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to
comply with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted and applied in a

LLC Operating Agreement A-7 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


3.3 Assignment of Membership Interest. In the event of an Assignment of all or
any part of a Member’s Membership Interest in the Company in accordance with the applicable
provisions of this Agreement, the Capital Account of the assignor Member shall become the
Capital Account of the Assignee, to the extent it relates to the portion of the Membership Interest
assigned.

3.4 Compliance with Section 704(b) of the Code. The provisions of this Article 3
as they relate to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended, and shall be construed, and, if
necessary, modified to cause the allocations of profits, losses, income, gain and credit pursuant to
Article 4 to have substantial economic effect under the Regulations promulgated under
Section 704(b) of the Code, in light of the distributions made pursuant to Articles 4 and 8 and the
Capital Contributions made pursuant to this Article 3. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a deficit restoration obligation or
otherwise personally obligate any Member to make any Capital Contribution in excess of such
Member’s initial Capital Contribution.

3.5 No Interest or Right to Withdraw Capital. Except as otherwise agreed to in


writing by all Members: (a) no interest shall be paid by the Company on any Member’s Capital
Contributions or on the balance in any Member’s Capital Account; (b) no Member shall have the
right to withdraw such Member’s Capital Contributions or to demand or receive a return of such
Member’s Capital Contributions; and (c) no Member shall have the right to demand or receive
Property other than cash in return for its Capital Contributions. However, pursuant to a vote to
dissolve and wind up under Section 8.1, the Members may also approve a plan of liquidation
providing for distribution of tangible assets to members according to an equitable formula.
Provided, however, that this Section 3.5 shall not apply to any additional or later offering of
interests in the Company for the purpose of providing additional cash capital for the Business
and/or providing a liquidity feature as an accommodation to Members.

3.6 Liquidating Proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement


to the contrary, when there is a distribution in liquidation of the company, or when any
Member’s Interest is liquidated, all Net Profits and Net Losses first shall be allocated to the
Members’ Capital Accounts under this Article 3, and other credits and deductions to the
Members’ Capital Accounts shall be made before the final distribution is made. The final
distribution to the Members shall be made as provided in Section 8 of this Agreement. The
provisions of this Section 3.6 and Article 8 shall be construed in accordance with the
requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2).

ARTICLE 4

LLC Operating Agreement A-8 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


4.1.1 Allocation of Net Profits. Except as otherwise provided elsewhere under
the Agreement and after first giving effect to the special allocations in Subparagraphs 4.1.3.
through 4.1.12, Net Profits for any fiscal year shall be allocated to each Member in accordance
with his, her or its Percentage Interest as set forth in Exhibit 1. Subject to any limitations
described elsewhere in the Agreement including but not limited to Subparagraphs 4.1.13 and

to adjustments made to the Percentage Interest because of loans converted to Capital
Contributions, any distributions of cash, any adjustment to Capital Account pursuant to Section
3.1.2 of this Agreement and any liquidating distribution. If a Member’s Percentage Interest is
not the same throughout a given fiscal year, the Members shall determine the allocation of Net
Profits by taking into account the varying Percentage Interest during the year but such
determination shall be in conformity with the requirements of Code Section 706(d) and the
regulations thereunder. “Net Profits” as defined and used herein refers to all items of income
(including all items of gain and including income exempt from tax) as properly determined for
“book purposes”. Net Profits shall be determined based on the “book value” of the assets of
Company as set forth on the books of Company in accordance with the principles of Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). Otherwise Net Income and loss shall be determined strictly in
accordance with Federal income tax principles (including rules governing depreciation and
amortization), applied hypothetically based on values of Company assets as set forth on the
books of Company.
4.1.2. Allocation of Net Losses. Except as otherwise provided under the
Agreement and after giving effect to the special allocations in Subparagraphs 4.1.3 through
4.1.12, Net Losses for any fiscal year shall be allocated to each Member accordance with the
Member’s Percentage Interest set forth in Exhibit 1. Subject to any limitations described
elsewhere in the Agreement including but not limited to Subparagraphs 4.1.13 and 4.1.14, the
above allocation of Net Losses may be modified by subsequent agreement to conform to
adjustments made to the Percentage Interest because of loans converted to Capital Contributions,
any distributions of cash, any adjustment to Capital Account pursuant to Section 3.1.2 of this
Agreement and any liquidation distributions. If a Member’s Percentage Interest is not the same
throughout a given fiscal year, the Members shall determine the allocation of Net Losses to the
Member by taking into account his varying Percentage Interest in Net Losses during the year but
such determination shall be in conformity with the requirements of Code Section 706(d) and the
regulations thereunder. “Net Losses” as defined and used herein refers to all items of loss
(including deductions) as properly determined for “book purposes”. Net Losses shall be
determined based on the value of the assets of Company as set forth on the books of Company in
accordance with the principles of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). Otherwise, Net
Losses shall be determined strictly in accordance with federal income tax principles (including
rules governing depreciation and amortization) applied hypothetically based on values of
Company assets as set forth on the books of Company.
4.1.3. Allocation of Company Minimum Gain. The term “Company Minimum
Gain” shall be defined and determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(d).
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if there is a net decrease in Company
Minimum Gain for a Company taxable year, then each Member shall be allocated items of
income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, for subsequent years) in proportion to, and to
the extent of, an amount equal to the greater of (a) the portion of such Member’s share of the net

LLC Operating Agreement A-9 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


decrease in Company Minimum Gain during such year that is allocable to the disposition of
Company property subject to one nor more Non-recourse Liabilities of Company and (b) the
deficit balance in such Member’s capital account at the end of such year. Such allocations shall
be made before any other allocation of Company items for the year. For the purpose of this
Section 4.1, the balance in a Member’s capital account at the end of such year shall be
determined with the adjustments prescribed by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(e)(2).
Such allocations shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-
1(b)(4)(iv)(e).
4.1.4. Allocation of Member’s Share of Minimum Gain. A “Member’s share of
Minimum Gain” shall be defined and determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-
2(d). Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if there is a net decrease during a
Company taxable year in the Member’s Share of Minimum Gain, then any Member with a share
of the Minimum Gain at the beginning of such year shall be allocated items of Company income
and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in proportion to, and to the extent of
an amount equal to the greater of (a) the portion of such Member’s share of the net decrease in
the Minimum Gain that is allocable to the disposition of Company property subject to such
Member’s Non-recourse Debt, and (b) the deficit balance in such Member’s capital account at
the end of such year. The items of Company income and gain allocated by this Section 4.1.4
shall not include any items of income or gain allocated pursuant to the Section above. The
allocations under this Section 4.1.4 shall be made before any other allocation (except any
allocations made pursuant to this Section 4. 1 above) of Company items for the year. For the
purpose of this Section 4.1.4, the balance in a Member’s capital account at the end of such year
shall be determined with the adjustments prescribed by, and the allocations hereunder shall be
made in accordance with, the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(iv)(h)(4).
4.1.5. Allocation of Net Profits and Gains Under Qualified Income Offset. Items
of Net Profits and gain shall be specially allocated to each Member in an amount and manner
sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit of the Member determined under Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) as quickly as
possible in the event any Member unexpectedly receives any (1) distributions that, as of the end
of such year, reasonably are expected to be made to a Member to the extent they exceed
offsetting increases to such Member’s capital account that reasonably are expected to occur
during (or prior to) Company taxable years in which such distributions reasonably are expected
to be made (other than increases pursuant to a minimum gain chargeback of the Agreement) or
(ii) adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Regulations Section l.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6). This subsection is intended comply with Regulation Section 1.704-
1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and should be so interpreted.
4.1.6 Allocation of Non-recourse Deductions. The term “Company Non-
recourse Deductions” shall be defined and determined in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-2(b) and (c). Company Non-recourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Member, if any,
that bears the economic risk of loss for the Member Non-recourse Debt to which the Member
Non-recourse Deductions are attributable. If more than one Member bears the economic risk of
loss for a Member Non-recourse Debt, the Non-recourse Deduction attributable to such Member
Non-recourse Debt shall be allocated among such Members in accordance with the ratios in
which the Members share the economic risk of loss for such Non-recourse Debt. Otherwise,

LLC Operating Agreement A - 10 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


Non-recourse Deductions shall be allocated in the same manner as, and be subject to the same
restrictions imposed upon Net Losses. Member Non-recourse Debt shall be defined and
determined in accordance with Regulations Section I .704-2(b)(4).
4.1.7. Allocation of Income, Gains and Losses Related to Contributed Property.
In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Regulation thereunder, income, gain, loss, and
deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of Company shall, solely for tax
purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of any variation between the
adjusted basis of such property to Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial gross
fair market value. In the event the initial gross fair market value of any Company asset is
adjusted, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset
shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income
tax purposes and its initial gross fair market value under one of the methods allowed under Code
Section 704(c) and the Regulations thereunder. Any elections or other decisions relating to such
allocations shall be made by the Members in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and
intention of the Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Subsection 4.1.7. are solely for purposes
of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect or in any way be taken into account in
computing, any member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, or other items or
distributions pursuant to any other provision of the Agreement.
4.1.8 Allocation of Gain and Loss from Sale or Other Disposition of Property
Not Revalued. If, in connection with the admission of an additional Member to Company or the
liquidation of a Member’s Interest in Company, Company property is not revalued pursuant to
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and the Members’ capital accounts are not adjusted
accordingly, then, upon any subsequent sale or other disposition of Company property, gain or
loss recognized upon the sale or other disposition shall be allocated among the Members so as to
take into account the variation between the adjusted basis of such property and its fair market
value as of the date the additional Member was admitted or the date the Member’s Interest was
liquidated, as the case may be, in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c).
4.1.9 Allocation of Gains and Losses Related to Adjustments in Tax Basis. To
the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code
Sections 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1 .704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m), to
be taken into account determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the
Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the
asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially
allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital
Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.
4.1.10 Allocation to Avoid Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Article, no Member shall receive an allocation of Net Losses, net
capital losses, Non-recourse Deductions as defined in Regulations 1.704-2(b) and (c), or any
other item of loss or deduction that would create or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit
of the Member. Any loss, or item thereof, that cannot be allocated to a Member as a result of the
foregoing limitation shall be allocated to all Members. Any loss, or item thereof, allocated to all
Members pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be taken into account in computing
subsequent allocations of Net Profits or Losses or Net Capital Gain or Loss so that the net
amount of any items so allocated and the profits, losses and all other items allocated to each

LLC Operating Agreement A - 11 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


Member shall, to the extent possible be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to
each Member if the allocations required by the preceding sentence had not been made.
4.1.11 Allocation of Gross Income to Restore Capital Account Deficit. In the
event any Member has a distribution in his Capital Account at the end of any fiscal year which is
in excess of the sum of (i) the amount the Member is obligated to restore pursuant to any
provision of the Agreement, and (ii) the amount the Member is deemed to be obligated to restore
pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the
Regulations, such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of
such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this subsection shall
be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have a Capital Account with a deficit
balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 4.1 have
been made as if Subsection 4.1.5 relating to allocations under a qualified income offset hereof
and this subsection were not in the Agreement.
4.1.12 Allocation of Capital Event Adjustments and Subsequent Effects. To the
extent the gross fair market value of any asset of Company is increased or decreased for a capital
event as determined in the sound discretion of the Company’s accountants, any resulting book
gain or loss shall be allocated as required for capital account purposes and subsequent allocations
of income, gain, loss or deduction with respect to such asset shall take into account any
difference between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its gross
fair market value.
4.1.13 Allocation of Net Profits and Net Losses Consistent with Distributions.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, the Net Profits and Net Losses shall be
allocated in a manner that is consistent with the requirements for distributions of cash described
elsewhere in the Agreement, the requirements for distribution of assets of Company upon its
dissolution and winding up strictly in accordance with capital account balances determined in
accordance with these procedures described below and the requirements for the allocations to
comply with applicable Regulations under Code Section 704(b).
4.1.14 Allocation of Income, Gain, Losses, and Deductions to Comply with
Regulations and Intentions of Members. If the allocations described above are not consistent
with the manner in which Members intend to divide Company distributions, the Manager is
hereby authorized to divide and allocate Net Profits, Net Losses, and other items among
Members so as to prevent the allocations from distorting the manner in which the Members
intend the Company distributions to be divided among Members pursuant to this Article 4, but in
a manner consistent with the requirements of Regulations Section 1 .704-1(b)(2)(v). In general, it
is agreed that this division will be accomplished by specially allocating other Net Profits, Net
Losses, and items of income, gain, loss, and deduction among the Members so that the net
amount of the allocations and such special allocations to each such Member is zero. If, for
whatever reason, the Manager determines that the allocation provisions of the Agreement are
unlikely to be respected for federal income tax purposes, the Manager is granted the sole
authority to amend the allocation provisions of the Agreement, to the minimum extent necessary
to effect the plan of allocations and distributions provided in the Agreement. Further, the
Manager may adopt and revise rules, conventions and procedures as it believes appropriate in
any reasonable manner with respect to the admission of Members to reflect the Members’
Interests in Net Profits, Net Losses and other items in Company at the close of the year.

absolute discretion. Members shall be distributed cash in direct proportion to their Percentage
Interests as shown on Exhibit 1, but subject in any event to sums payable to the Manager or its
Affiliates. Distributions shall be in cash. Prior to liquidation of the Company, a Member has no
right to demand and receive any Distribution in any form other than cash, except pursuant to

LLC Operating Agreement A - 13 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


than the sum of the liabilities of the Company, excluding liabilities to Members on account of
their Membership Interests. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a
Member who votes for or receives a Distribution in violation of this Article 4 shall be personally
liable to the Company for the amount of the Distribution that exceeds the amount that could have
been properly distributed.

4.4 In-Kind Distributions. Assets of the Company (other than cash) shall not be
distributed in-kind to the Members without the approval of the Manager and consent of a Super-
Majority in Interest. If the Company at any time distributes any of its assets in-kind to the
Members, the Capital Account of each Member shall be adjusted to account for the that
Member’s allocable share (as determined under Article 9 below) of the Net Profits or Net Losses
that would have been realized by the Company had it sold the assets that were distributed at their
respective fair market values immediately prior to their distribution, and the Members shall
receive such assets in a legal form determined by Manager, with the advice of counsel, and in
proportion to their respective Capital Accounts (after taking into account all Capital Account
adjustments to the date of the distribution).

that may be beneficial to, the Company, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed that each
Member may enter into transactions that are similar to the transactions into which the Company
may enter and such Member shall not have or incur any obligation to report the same to the
Company or to the other Members or to offer any interest in such transactions to the Company or
the other Members. Each Member shall promptly account to the Company and its members, and

of the Business or from a use or appropriation by the Member of Company assets, including
information developed exclusively for the Company and opportunities expressly offered to the
Company.

5.7.2 A Member does not violate any duty or obligation to the Company merely
because the Member’s conduct furthers the Member’s own interest. A Member may lend money
to and transact other business with the Company, subject to the applicable provisions of this
Agreement. The rights and obligations of a Member who lends money to or transacts business
with the Company are the same as those of a person who is not a Member, subject to other
applicable law. No transaction with the Company shall be voidable solely because a Member or
an affiliate of such Member has a direct or indirect interest in the transaction if either the
transaction by way of Super-Majority Vote, is fair to the Company or the disinterested Members,
in either case knowing the material facts of the transaction and the Member’s interest, authorize,
approve, or ratify the transaction, and neither the Company or any other Member shall have any
right in or to any revenues or profits derived from such transaction by the Member or affiliate.

5.8 Officers. The Manager may, from time to time, designate a person or persons
(who may be Members) to act as the Chairman, President, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary

designated by the Manager. Such officers shall act only under the direction and authorization of
the Manager.

5.9 Meetings and Voting. A meeting of the Members may be called at any time by
notice to the Manager by Members representing at least ten percent (10%) of Percentage
Interests upon ten (10) days prior written notice to the other Members specifying the time and
purpose of the meeting. Meetings may be held at the principal executive office of the Company
or at such other location as may be designated by the Manager. Following the call of a meeting,
the Manager shall give Notice of the meeting no less than ten or more than 60 calendar days
prior to the date of the meeting to all Members entitled to Vote at the meeting. The Notice shall
state the place, date, and hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be
transacted. No other business may be transacted at the meeting. A quorum at any Meeting shall
consist of a Majority of Percentage Interests of Members, represented in person or by proxy.
The Members present in a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may
continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of a sufficient
number of Members to leave less than a quorum, if the action taken, other than adjournment, is
approved by the requisite Percentage Interests of Members as specified in this Agreement or the
Act. This Agreement expressly provides that certain actions may be taken only with the
approval of sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 2/3%) or more of Percentage Interests (Super-
Majority-in-Interest). This shall specifically include removal of the Manager on the terms set
forth in Section 5.2, election of a new or additional Manager as set forth in Sections 5.2 and 8.1,
a change in the business purpose set forth in Section 2.3, the dissolution of the Company as set
forth in Section 8.1, or an amendment to the Articles pursuant to Section 11.1, including any
required consent of Manager. Except for such decisions and those decisions expressly reserved
to the Manager, any act or decision done or made at the meeting shall be by the affirmative vote

LLC Operating Agreement A - 18 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


of Members holding a Super-Majority of the then-outstanding Percentage Interests. In lieu of an
actual meeting, matters may be approved upon the written Approval of the Members.

5.10 Use of Proxies. At all meetings of Members, any adjournments thereof, or with
respect to any action by written consent, a Member may vote in person or by proxy executed in
writing by the Member or by the Member’s duly authorized attorney-in-fact.

5.11 Approval or Ratification by Members. The Manager may submit any contract
or act for approval or ratification by the Members, either at a duly constituted meeting of the
Members, or by written consent pursuant to Section 5.9 hereof. If any contract or act so
submitted is approved or ratified by a Super-Majority in Interest at such meeting or by such
written consent, the same will be valid and as binding upon the Company and all of its Members
as it would be if it were the act of its Members.

5.12 No Agency; Indemnification. No Member acting solely in the capacity of a


Member is an agent of the Company, nor can any Member acting solely in the capacity of a
Member bind the Company or execute any instrument on behalf of the Company. Accordingly,
each Member shall indemnify, defend, and save harmless each other Member and the Company
from and against any and all loss, cost, expense, liability or damage arising from or out of any
claim based upon any action by such Member in contravention of the first sentence of this
Section 5.12.

ARTICLE 7
ASSIGNMENT OF MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS;
SUBSTITUTE AND ADDITIONAL MEMBERS

7.1 Generally. Each Member agrees that, other than as expressly provided in this
Agreement, such Member shall not: (a) Assign all or any part of the Member’s Membership
Interest, except as permitted pursuant to the terms of this Article 7; (b) resign or withdraw from
the Company; or (c) do any other act either causing the dissolution of the Company prior to
expiration of the Term or resulting in a termination of the Company within the meaning of
Section 708 of the Code. Any Member who violates this Section 7.1 shall be in material default
under this Agreement and shall be liable to the Company and the other Members for any
damages caused by such violation. Any Assignment of a Membership Interest as permitted
pursuant to the terms of this Article 7 shall be effective only on the following conditions: (i) all
requirements of this Article 7 and the Act shall have been satisfied; (ii) the Assignee shall pay (in
advance if requested) any and all normal and typical expenses of the Company (including but not
limited to legal, accounting and filing) in effecting such Assignment; (iii) such Assignment is
effected in compliance with applicable state and federal securities laws; and (iv) an opinion of
assignor and/or assignee’s counsel in form and content satisfactory to the Company’s counsel, in
his sole and absolute discretion, is provided to the Company confirming compliance with all
requirements of this Article 7. Any attempted Assignment of a Membership Interest, or any part
thereof, not in compliance with this Article 7 shall be null and void and shall confer no rights on
the assignee as against the Company or the Members.

7.2 Consent of Manager. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a


Member may not Assign all or any portion of the Member’s Membership Interest, except with
the prior consent of the Manager, which consent may be granted or withheld in the Manager’s
sole and absolute discretion. In the case of any permitted Assignment hereunder, the Assignee
shall hold the assigned Membership Interest subject to all of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to the restrictions and provisions of this Article 7, and no
subsequent Assignment of all or any part of such Membership Interest may be made except if
and to the extent permitted hereunder. A permitted Assignee of a Membership Interest shall
become a Member of the Company only if the provisions of Section 7.5 are satisfied.

7.3 Assignment of Economic Interest Only. Notwithstanding the provisions of


Section 7.2, a Member may Assign its bare Economic Interest without the consent of the other
Members. Such an Assignment shall not of itself cause the dissolution of the Company or entitle
the Assignee to vote, participate in the management and affairs of the Company or become or

LLC Operating Agreement A - 21 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


exercise any rights of a Member. Upon the Assignment of all or part of an Economic Interest,
the assignor Member shall provide the Company with the name and address of the Assignee,
together with the details of the interest assigned. The Assignment of an Economic Interest shall
not release the assignor Member from such Member’s liability as a Member. In the case of an
Assignment of an Economic interest during any fiscal year, the Assigning Member and the
Assignee shall each be allocated the Economic Interest’s share of Profits or Losses based on the
number of days each held the Economic Interest during that fiscal year.

7.4 Rights of Assignees. An Assignee of a Membership Interest, including an


Assignee of an Economic Interest, shall have no right to participate in the management of the
business and affairs of the Company or to become a Member, unless and until such Assignee is
admitted as a Substitute Member in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7. Until such
time, the Assignee shall be entitled only to receive the Distributions and return of capital
attributable to the Membership Interest assigned, and to be allocated the Net Profits and Net
Losses attributable thereto. Net Profits and Net Losses shall be allocated between the assignor
Member and the Assignee on the basis of the computation method which in the reasonable
discretion of the Members is in the best interests of the Company, provided such method is in
conformity with the methods prescribed in Section 706 of the Code and the Regulations.
Distributions of Cash shall be made to the holder of record of the Membership Interest on the
date of Distribution. The Assignee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the assignor Member
to the extent it relates to the Membership Interest assigned; provided, however, that if such
Assignment causes a termination of the Company pursuant to Section 708 of the Code, the
Capital Accounts of all Members and the Assignee shall be redetermined as of the date of such
termination in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).

7.5 Admission of Substitute Members. An Assignee of a Membership Interest shall


be admitted as a Member and admitted to all the rights of the Member who initially assigned the
Membership Interest only with the consent of the Manager, and only upon the Assignee’s
agreement in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any amendments thereto.
If so admitted, the Substitute Member shall have all the rights and powers and shall be subject to
all the restrictions and liabilities of the Member originally assigning the Membership Interest.
The admission of a Substitute Member, shall not release the Member originally assigning the
Membership Interest from any liability of the assigning Member to the Company that may have
existed prior to the approval of such admission.

7.6 Admission of Additional Members. A Person may be admitted as an additional


Member at the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager and only upon the Person’s
agreement in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any amendments thereto.

ARTICLE 8
DISSOLUTION AND WINDING UP

8.1 Dissolution. The Company shall be dissolved and its affairs wound up, upon the
first to occur of the following events (“Dissolution Events”):

(a) The expiration of the Term;

LLC Operating Agreement A - 22 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


(b) The Approval of the Members;

(c) The removal or resignation of the Manager, unless the business of the
Company is continued with the Approval of the Members and election of a successor Manager
within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such event;

(d) The sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

(e) The entry of a decree of judicial dissolution.

In connection with this Section 8.1, if certain assets remain in the Company and the end
of its Term approaches, the Manager shall take such measures as are reasonably necessary and
prudent in the best interests of both the Members and the communities being served by the
Company through its investments, including but not limited to: (i) initiating a Member vote to
extend the Term of the Company, and (ii) selling the remaining investments on a fair arm’s-
length basis to one or more third parties or Affiliates of the Company or Manager.

8.2 Effect of Dissolution; Certificate of Dissolution. Upon dissolution, the


Members shall immediately proceed to the winding up of the affairs of the Company and shall
give written notice of the commencement of winding up to all known creditors and claimants of
the Company whose addresses appear on the records of the Company. The Members also shall
file with the California Secretary of State a Certificate of Dissolution (Form LLC-3) in
accordance with Section 17356 of the Act. The Company shall continue to exist solely for the
purpose of winding up its affairs. During such winding up process, the Net Profits and Net
Losses shall continue to be shared by the Members in accordance with this Agreement.

8.3 Distribution of Assets on Dissolution. Upon the winding up of the Company,


the Company’s assets shall be distributed in cash and/or Property, as determined by the Manager
and a Super-Majority in Interest of Members, within ninety (90) days after the date of
liquidation, in the following order:

(a) To creditors, including Members who are creditors, in the order of priority
and to the extent provided by law, in satisfaction of the Company’s debts and liabilities;

(b) To the establishment of any reserves which the Members winding up the
affairs of the Company deem reasonably necessary for any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or
obligations of the Company. Such reserves shall be segregated for the purpose of disbursing
such reserves in payment of any such liabilities or obligations. After the Manager determines
that a reasonable period has passed and after any contingencies arising during that period have
been resolved, the remaining balance of such reserves shall be distributed in the manner
hereinafter provided;

(c) The balance, first to Members to the extent of their accrued and unpaid
Members’ Preferred Return; and second, the remainder Forty percent (40%) to the Manager, to

LLC Operating Agreement A - 23 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


the extent of its Subordinated Profit Participation and then to the Members in accordance with
their respective Capital Accounts; and

(d) Any unrealized appreciation or unrealized depreciation in the values of


Company property distributed in kind to all the Members shall be deemed to be Net Profits or
Net Losses realized by the Company immediately before the distribution of the property and
such Net Profits or Net Loses shall be allocated to the Members’ Capital Accounts in the same
proportions as Net Profits are allocated under Section 4.1. Any property so distributed shall be
treated as a distribution to the Members to the extent of the fair market value of the property less
the amount of any liability secured buy and related to the property. Nothing contained in this
Agreement is intended to treat or cause such distributions to be treated as sales for value. For the
purposes of this Section 8.3(d), “unrealized appreciation” or “unrealized depreciation” shall
mean the difference between the fair market value of such property and the Company’s basis for
such property.

8.4 Completion of Winding Up. The winding up of the Company shall be


completed when all debts, liabilities, and obligations of the Company have been paid and
discharged or reasonably adequate provision therefore has been made, and all of the remaining
property and assets of the Company have been distributed to the Members.

8.5 Return of Distributions Post-Dissolution. Following dissolution of the


Company, if a creditor of company or other third party brings an action against Manager or one
or more Members on account of any matter for which Company would have been legally and
financially responsible prior to dissolution, each Member shall, upon notice from Manager,
return such Member’s proportionate share of Distributable Cash or other Assets received from
Company from time to time as would be necessary to meet the obligation. Such contribution
shall not exceed the sum for which the Member would have been liable under California
Corporations Code § 17355 (a).

ARTICLE 9
INDEMNIFICATION

The Company shall have the power to indemnify any Person who was or is a party, or
who is threatened to be made a party, to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such Person
was or is a Member, Manager, officer, employee, or other agent of the Company, or was or is
serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer employee, or other Agent of another
limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise,
against expenses, judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts actually and reasonably
incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, if such person acted in good faith
and in a manner that such Person reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the company,
and, in the case of a criminal Proceeding, such Person had no reasonable cause to believe that the
Person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order,
settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself,
create a presumption that the Person did not act in good faith and in a manner that such Person
reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the Company, or that the Person had reasonable
cause to believe that the Person’s conduct was unlawful.

LLC Operating Agreement A - 24 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


To the extent that an agent of the Company has been successful on the merits in defense
of any Proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter in any such Proceeding, the agent
shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the
Proceeding. In all other cases, indemnification shall be provided by the Company only if
authorized in the specific case by a simple majority Percentage Interests of Members.

“Agent,” as used in this Article 9, shall include a trustee or other fiduciary of a plan, trust,
or other entity or arrangement described in California Corporations Code Section 207(f).

“Proceeding,” as used in this Article 9, means any threatened, pending, or completed


action or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative.

Expenses of each Person indemnified under this Agreement actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of a Proceeding may be paid by the
Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding, as authorized by the Managers
who are not seeking indemnification or, if there are none, by a Majority of the Members, upon
receipt of an undertaking by such Person to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be
determined that such Person is entitled to be indemnified by the Company. “Expenses,” as used
in this Article 9, includes, without limitation, attorney fees and expenses of establishing a right to
indemnification, if any, under this Article 9.

ARTICLE 10

with, Manager and other Members and the Company that such Member is capable of evaluating
the risks and merits of an investment in his or her Membership Interest and of protecting such
Member’s own interests in connection with this investment because one or more of the following
applies. Either the Member (1) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the
Company, its Manager or one or more of its principals, or (2) by reason of such Member’s

10.3 Investment Intent. Each Member is acquiring the Membership Interest for
investment purposes for his or her own account only and not with a view to or for resale in
connection with any distribution of all or any part of the Membership Interest. No other person
will have any direct or indirect beneficial interest in or right to the Membership Interest.

LLC Operating Agreement A - 25 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC

Liability Company, trust, or other entity, such Member was not organized for the specific

Act only in certain limited circumstances and that otherwise the Membership Interest must be
held indefinitely. In this connection, such Member understands the resale limitations imposed by
the Securities Act and is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and the conditions

circumstances. Such Member understands that the Company has not made such information
available to the public and has no present plans to do so.

the Company and the Manager are under no obligation to register or qualify the Membership
Interest under the Securities Act or under any state securities law, or to assist such Member in

substantial restrictions on the transferability of the Membership Interest pursuant to this

LLC Operating Agreement A - 26 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC


Agreement, that there is no public market for the Membership Interest and none is expected to
develop, and that, accordingly, it may not be possible for him or her to liquidate his or her
investment in the Company.

information he or she considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the
Membership Interest. Such Member has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive
answers from the Company and the Manager regarding the terms and conditions of the purchase
of the Membership Interest and regarding the business, financial affairs, and other aspects of the
Company and has further had the opportunity to obtain all information (to the extent the
Company possesses or can acquire such information without unreasonable effort or expense)
which such Member deems necessary to evaluate the investment and to verify the accuracy of
information otherwise provided to such Member. The Company has answered all inquiries that
such Member has made concerning the Company, its business or financial condition or any other
matter relating to the operation of the Company and the offer and sale of the Membership

realized as a result of an investment in the Membership Interest, that past performance or
experience on the part of the Manager or their Affiliates or any other person in any way indicates
the predictable results of the ownership of the Membership Interest or of the overall Company
business, that any cash distributions from Company operations or otherwise will be made to the
Members by any specific date or will be made at all, or that any specific tax benefits will accrue
as a result of an investment in the Company.

10.14 Consultation with Attorney. Each Member has been advised to consult with
such Member’s own attorney regarding all legal matters concerning an investment in the
Company and the tax consequences of participating in the Company, and has done so, to the
extent such Member considers necessary.

10.15 Tax Consequences. Each Member acknowledges that the tax consequences to
such Member of investing in the Company will depend on such Member’s particular
circumstances, and neither the Company, the Manager, the Members, nor the partners,
shareholders, members, Manager, agents, officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, or
consultants of any of them will be responsible or liable for the tax consequences to him or her of
an investment in the Company. Such Member will look solely to, and rely upon, such Member’s
own advisers with respect to the tax consequences of this investment.

10.16 No Assurance of Tax Benefits. Each Member acknowledges that there can be no

may now receive, nor that some of the deductions claimed by the Company or the allocation of

any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative, by reason of or arising from any misrepresentation or
misstatement of facts made by such Member including, without limitation, the information in
this Agreement, against losses, liabilities, and expenses of the Company, each Member and the
Manager, each and every other Member, and any officers, directors, shareholders, managers,
members, employees, partners, attorneys, accountants, agents, registered representatives, and

paid in settlement, payable as incurred) incurred by such person in connection with such action,
suit, proceeding, or the like.

Operating Agreement Exhibit Exhibit 2 to Exhibit A, Page 3 2201 Dwight Partners, LLC
Management Agreement
The Manager may accrue any part of its Development Fee at a rate of interest from time to time
equal to Bank of America Prime (Reference) Rate for its best business customers plus 100 basis
points.

6. Lease-Up Fee. The Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager shall be paid a


Lease-Up Fee of $600 per dwelling unit for marketing and lease-up of each dwelling unit,
deemed earned upon move-in for each dwelling unit. For example, if the completed project
contained 33 units, the aggregate Lease-up Fee would be $19,800.

7. Management Fee. The Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager may serve as


property manager for the Property commencing when dwelling units are leased, upon
competitive arms’-length market rates and terms. The Manager or an Affiliate of the Manager
may participate in any market-rate leasing commissions for the Property, which may be shared
and negotiated with any cooperating broker, or if none, then to the extent of ordinary and
customary leasing commissions for the Berkeley, CA market.

8. Real Estate Disposition Fee. The Real Estate Disposition Fee is an earned
charge pertaining to the ongoing “positioning”, market surveys, communications and other
similar work undertaken for the Property throughout the life of the Company. The Real Estate
Disposition Fee is calculated at a base or minimum of two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) of the
gross sale price of the Property, and may in the sole and absolute discretion of the Manager be
charged at as high as five percent (5%) depending upon the specific involvement of the Manager
and its Affiliates in Property disposition. However, in no case shall the aggregate sales
commissions and similar charges for any Property, including cooperating brokers, exceed six
percent (6%) of the sale price.

9. Subordinated Profit Participation. The Subordinated Profit participation is an


earned charge acquired by the Manager for, among other things, contribution to the company of
an appreciated real estate contract and other assets. Once all Capital Contributions of Members
and Members’ Preferred Return have been fully returned and the other liabilities of the Company
have been paid, a Subordinated Profit Participation of forty percent (40%) of all Distributable
Cash available thereafter shall be paid to Manager, without regard to Manager’s Percentage
Interest. Manager may assign all or a portion of Subordinated Profit Participation to third parties
and/or Affiliates.

10. Manager’s Right to Accrue Payments. In the best interests of the Company and
its Members, the Manager may defer all or any part of its above fees or Subordinated Profit
Participation, or any part of its accrued reimbursements, to a point in time when it determines
that the Company is better able to afford those distributions. Such deferred reimbursements and
distributions shall not bear interest except as provided in relation to the Development Fee
described in Section 5, above. No decision by the Manager to defer all or any part of a
distribution shall be construed as a waiver or release of the Manager’s right to any part of same.
By the same token, the good-faith over-distribution of Distributable Cash to Members by
Manager shall not operate to prejudice Manager’s right to require an accounting and equitable
redistribution of future Distributable Cash.

understand that the Units have not been qualified under the California Corporate Securities Law

where purchasers of Units may reside, in reliance on the exemptions from such registration and
qualification requirements for private offerings under Section 25102(f) of the Law and similar
provisions of other securities laws. I acknowledge and understand that the availability of these
exemptions depend in part upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained
