9. Exculpation and Indemnification. In the event that SOLE MEMBER, or
any of its direct or indirect partners, directors, officers, stockholders,
employees, agents, affiliates or controlling persons, including, without
limitation, any Manager or Officer (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons,"
each, including such member, an "Indemnified Person"), becomes involved, in any
capacity, in any threatened, pending or completed, action, proceeding or
investigation, in connection with any matter arising out of or relating to the
Company's business or affairs, the Company will periodically reimburse such
Indemnified Person for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any
investigation and preparation) incurred in connection therewith, provided that
such Indemnified Person shall promptly repay to the Company the amount of any
such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it shall ultimately be determined that
such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company in
connection with such action, proceeding or investigation as provided in the
exception contained in the next succeeding sentence. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Company also will indemnify and hold harmless an
Indemnified Person against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities,
obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses
and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively, "Costs"), to
which such an Indemnified Person may become subject in connection with any
matter arising out of or in connection with the Company's business or affairs,
except to the extent that any such Costs result solely from the willful
misfeasance, gross negligence or bad faith of such Indemnified Person. If for
any reason (other than the willful misfeasance, gross negligence, or bad faith
of such Indemnified Person) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to such
Indemnified Person, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Company shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result
of such Costs in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and such Indemnified
Person on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Company and such
Indemnified Person, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. The
reimbursement, indemnity and contribution obligations of the Company under this
Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise
have to any Indemnified Person and shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the
Company and any Indemnified Person. The reimbursement, indemnity and
contribution obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be limited to
the Company's assets, and no member shall have any personal liability on account
thereof. The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
10. Admission. SOLE MEMBER is hereby deemed admitted as the sole member
of the Company upon its execution and delivery of this Agreement.
11. Allocation of Profits and Losses. The Company's profits and losses
shall be allocated to SOLE MEMBER, as sole member.
12. Distributions. Distributions shall be made to SOLE MEMBER, as sole
member.
13. Limited Liability. Except as otherwise provided by the Act, the
debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract,
tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the
Company, and neither the sole member nor any affiliate, director, officer,
partner or controlling person of the sole member shall be obligated personally
for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company.

14. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
UNDER, THE LAWS OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
BEING GOVERNED BY SAID LAWS, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.
15. Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, altered,
supplemented or amended except pursuant to a written agreement executed and
delivered by the SOLE MEMBER; provided, however, that for so long as the Loan
remains outstanding the provisions specified in paragraphs 2, 15, 16, 17 and 18
of this Agreement shall not be amended without approval of such amendment by the
Lender. Lender may condition its approval on obtaining, at Borrower's cost and
expense, a confirmation from each of the applicable rating agencies that such
amendment would not result in the qualification, withdrawal or downgrade of any
securities rating. For purposes of this Agreement: "Lender" means LaSalle Bank
National Association, a national banking association, formerly known as LaSalle
National Bank, as Trustee for the registered holders of the Morgan Stanley
Capital I, Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-RM1,
together with its successors and/or assigns; "Loan" means a certain loan in the
original principal sum of $800,000.00, currently held by Lender, secured by a
mortgage upon certain premises located with an address at 2755 Philmont Avenue,
Huntington Valley, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania; and "Loan Documents" means,
collectively, the documents evidencing or securing the Loan.
16. Incorporation of Certificate. The terms and conditions specified in
the Certificate of Organization of the Company, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit C, are incorporated herein by reference and shall be a part of
this Agreement.
17. Continuation of the Company. If there is a death, dissolution or
other "termination event" for any member of the Company, the vote of a majority
in interest of the remaining members shall be sufficient to continue the life of
the Company.
18. Unanimous Consent Required for Certain Acts. Notwithstanding any
provisions to the contrary contained herein, so long as the Loan remains
outstanding, the unanimous consent of all members shall be required for the
Company to do any of the following or cause the Partnership to do any of the
following:
a. File or consent to the filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency
or reorganization case or proceeding; institute any proceedings under
any applicable insolvency law or otherwise seek any relief under any
laws relating to the relief from debts or the protection of debtors
generally;
b. Seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator, custodian or any similar
official for the Company or a substantial portion of its properties;
c. Make any assignment for the benefit of the Company's
creditors; or
d. Take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing.
