4.1.3 LIMITATIONS ON POWERS OF THE MEMBERS. Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1 or any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the Members shall not be empowered to,
and shall not (i) undertake any act in violation of this Agreement;
(ii) possess or take title to any assets of the Company; or (iii) take
any action that makes it illegal or impossible for the Company to carry
on its business.
SECTION 4.2 BANK ACCOUNTS. The Managing Member shall open and
thereafter maintain, for the Company, a commercial checking account and such
other accounts at one or more banks or trust companies organized and existing
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, each having combined
capital and surplus aggregating at least $500,000,000 and none of which is an
Affiliate of any Member, which accounts shall be interest bearing to the extent
practicable. All funds of the Company shall be promptly deposited in said
accounts.
SECTION 4.3 LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION. Except as set forth in Section
4.4, no Member (including the Managing Member) shall be liable to the Company or
any Member for any act or omission by it in the conduct of its duties as a
Managing Member or Member, as the case may be, that is within the scope of such
Person's authority hereunder and that is performed or omitted in good faith and
without gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part. The Company shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each such Person and its respective
Affiliates and agents from and against any personal liability, claim, loss,
damage, cost or expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred or
sustained by such Person or such Affiliate or agent by reason of any act or
omission by it that is within the scope of its authority hereunder and that is
performed or omitted in good faith and without gross negligence or willful
misconduct on its part. The indemnification provided under this Section 4.3
shall be in addition to, and shall not limit or diminish, the coverage of any
such Person or Affiliate or agent under any insurance covering the Company. The
provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive any termination of the Company or
this Agreement.
SECTION 4.4 LIMITATIONS ON SALE OF ASSETS; INDEMNIFICATION.
4.4.1 The Members acknowledge that if any or all of the Existing
Contracts or other assets of the Company were sold or
otherwise transferred or disposed of by the Company, or if the
Company were merged with or acquired by another entity or
13
18
otherwise engaged in a corporate transaction in which taxable
gain could be recognized in whole or in part, PAH would suffer
significant adverse tax consequences. The Members also
acknowledge that the stock of PAH is held by an entity that is
a "real estate investment trust" for Federal income tax
purposes (a "REIT") that must comply with certain requirements
to continue to qualify as a REIT, including legislation
adopted in 1998 affecting the operations and activities of
"stapled" REITs entitled to grandfathering relief under
Section 269B of the Code. Accordingly, without the prior
written consent of PAH, the Company shall not, and the
Managing Member shall cause the Company not to, (i) sell or
otherwise dispose of any of the Existing Contracts or other
assets of the Company or the Existing Subsidiaries (except for
sale or disposals of the Existing Contracts or other assets
pursuant to the performance of obligations of the Company that
are required (as distinguished from permitted) under the
Existing Contracts), (ii) merge with, be acquired by or enter
into a corporate acquisition or reorganization transaction
with any other person or entity, or to allow any of the
Existing Subsidiaries to merge with, be acquired by or enter
into a corporate acquisition or reorganization transaction
with any other person or entity, (iii) knowingly cause PAH to
recognize any of the "built-in gain" with respect to its
interest in the Company or the Company's assets, (iv) acquire
any real property or other interests in real estate (including
leasehold interests), or acquire interests in, or
substantially all of the assets of, any other person or entity
(other than the Existing Subsidiaries), or to allow any of the
Existing Subsidiaries to acquire any real property or other
interests in real estate, or acquire interests in, or
substantially all of the assets of, any other person or entity
(including leasehold interests), or (v) change the nature of
the Company's business, or allow any of the Existing
Subsidiaries to change the nature of any of the Existing
Subsidiaries' business, in a manner not contemplated by this
Agreement; provided, however, that (a) nothing in this Section
4.4.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the
Company from selling its interests in The Charles Hotel
Complex in Cambridge, Massachusetts pursuant to an Asset
Purchase Agreement, dated as of May 7, 1999, by and among
IHC/Chaz Corporation, PAH-Management Corporation and F&H
Realty LLC (the "ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT") and (b) the
indemnification obligations under Section 4.4.2 below shall
not apply in connection with any such sale of interests in The
Charles Hotel Complex.
4.4.2 The Company and the Managing Member, jointly and severally,
hereby indemnify and hold harmless PAH, its shareholders,
officers, directors, agents and other indirect owners, and
their successors in interest, from and against any personal
liability, claim, loss, damage, cost or expenses, including
attorneys' fees and expenses, incurred or sustained by any
breach of the obligations set forth in subsections 4.4.1(i)
through 4.4.1(iii), including the amount of any such adverse
tax consequences.

SECTION 4.5 ALLOCATION OF COSTS AND EXPENSES. The Company and
Northridge Holdings acknowledge that certain employees, equipment and services
may be provided by the Company for the benefit of Northridge Holdings (including
any subsidiary of Northridge Holdings, other than the Company), or vice versa.
All costs and expenses relating to services provided by one party for, in whole
or in part, the benefit of the other (the "SHARED EXPENSES") shall be allocated
between the Company and Northridge Holdings, based on generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied, on the basis of which party
benefited from the expenditure of such Shared Expenses. To the extent the
allocation of any Shared Expenses cannot be fairly or equitably apportioned
(including general and administrative expenses), the Company and Northridge
Holdings shall allocate Shared Expenses based on respective gross revenues so
that each party's profit margins are substantially the same for similar
services. The Managing Member and the Non-Managing Member may mutually agree in
writing to apportion Shared Expenses between the Company and Northridge Holdings
other than as set forth above. The Managing Member shall regularly (not less
frequently than quarterly) provide all Members with a breakdown of such
allocation of Shared Expenses, which breakdown shall be reviewed by the Company
Accountant. The Chief Financial Officer of Northridge Holdings (and IHC, if IHC
has a Chief Financial Officer different than that of Northridge Holdings) shall
certify quarterly to the Non-Managing Member that the allocation of Shared
Expenses for the immediately preceding quarter complies with the allocation
methodology set forth in this Section 4.5.
SECTION 4.6 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES REGARDING SHARED EXPENSES.
4.6.1 All disputes, claims, or controversies relating to the
allocation of Shared Expenses pursuant to Section 4.5 shall be
resolved solely and exclusively by binding arbitration to be
conducted before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
or its successor. The arbitration shall be held in New York,
New York before a single arbitrator to be selected by the
Members or, if the Members are unable to agree on a single
arbitrator, before a panel of three arbitrators appointed by
AAA, and the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the rules and regulations promulgated by AAA, unless
specifically modified herein. The parties covenant and agree
that the arbitration shall commence within sixty (60) days of
the date on which a written demand for arbitration is filed by
any Member with AAA. In connection with the arbitration
proceeding, the arbitrator shall have the power to order the
production of documents by each party and any third-party
witnesses; however, the arbitrator shall not have the power to
order the taking of depositions, the answering of
interrogatories or the response to requests for admission. In
connection with any arbitration, each party shall provide to
the other, no later than seven business days before the date
of the arbitration, the identity of all persons that may
testify at the arbitration and a copy of all documents that
may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by
a party's witness or expert. The arbitrator's decision and
award shall be made and delivered within six (6) months of the
selection of the arbitrator and judgment on the award may
15
20
be entered by any court having competent jurisdiction. The
arbitrator's decision shall set forth a reasoned basis for its
findings. The Members covenant and agree that they will
participate in the arbitration in good faith and that they
will share equally its costs except as otherwise provided
herein. This clause applies equally to requests for temporary,
preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, except that in the
case of temporary or preliminary injunctive relief any Member
may proceed in court without prior arbitration for the limited
purpose of avoiding immediate and irreparable harm. The
provisions of this Section 4.6 shall be enforceable in any
court of competent jurisdiction, and the parties shall bear
their own costs in the event of any proceeding to enforce this
Agreement except as otherwise provided herein. The arbitrator
may in his or her discretion assess costs and expenses
(including the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the
prevailing party) against any party to a proceeding. Any party
unsuccessfully refusing to comply with an order of the
arbitrators shall be liable for costs and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred by the other party in enforcing the
award.
4.6.2 The Members agree not to institute, join in, or cooperate in
any litigation, lawsuit, claim or action against the Company
or any Member regarding the allocation of Shared Expenses,
other than by the means provided for in Section 4.6.1 of this
Agreement.
4.6.3 Each of the Members irrevocably and unconditionally consents
to the exclusive jurisdiction of AAA to resolve all disputes,
claims or controversies arising out of or relating to the
allocation of Shared Expenses, and further consents to the
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York for the
purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of Section
4.6.1 of this Agreement. Each Member further irrevocably
waives any objection to proceeding before AAA based upon lack
of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further
irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make
a claim in any court that arbitration before AAA has been
brought in an inconvenient forum.
ARTICLE 5
BOOKS AND RECORDS
-----------------
SECTION 5.1 BOOKS AND RECORDS. The Managing Member shall maintain or
cause to be maintained, at the expense of the Company, in a manner customary and
consistent with good accounting principles, practices and procedures, a
comprehensive system of office records, books and accounts (which records, books
and accounts shall be and remain the property of the Company) in which shall be
entered fully and accurately each and every financial transaction with respect
to the operations of the Company. Bills, receipts and vouchers shall be
maintained on file by the Company. The Managing Member shall maintain or cause
to be maintained said books and accounts in a safe manner and separate from any
16
21
records not having to do directly with the Company. The Managing Member shall
cause audits to be performed and audited financial statements and income tax
returns to be prepared as it deems necessary. Such books and records of account
shall be prepared and maintained by the Managing Member at a location or
locations designated by the Managing Member. Each Member or its duly authorized
representative shall have the right to inspect, examine and copy such books and
records of account at the Company's office during reasonable business hours.
SECTION 5.2 ACCOUNTING AND FISCAL YEAR. The books of the Company shall
be kept on the accrual basis and the Company shall report its operations for tax
purposes on the accrual method. The taxable year of the Company shall end on

the Code.
SECTION 5.3 REPORTS.
5.3.1 The Managing Member shall prepare, or cause to be
prepared, at Company expense, the financial reports and other
information, including, without limitation, audited financial
statements, that the Managing Member may determine are appropriate. The
Managing Member shall prepare or cause to be prepared at the expense of
the Company and shall furnish to each of the Members the following:

the balance in each Member's Capital Account, and all other information
deemed reasonably necessary by the Managing Member, or as reasonably
requested by the Non-Managing Member, certified by an independent
accounting firm as being, to the best of its knowledge, true and
correct and prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles applied on a consistent basis, and all of which shall
otherwise be certified in such manner as is customary;
5.3.1.2 Within twenty (20) calendar days after the
close of each calendar quarter of the Company (other than the last
calendar quarter in any calendar year), a balance sheet of the Company
dated as of the end of the calendar quarter, a related statement of
income and expense, a statement of cash flow and a statement of changes
in Members' capital for the calendar quarter, and information for the
calendar quarter as to the balance in each Member's Capital Account,
and all other information, including a market update, as is deemed

22
5.3.1.3 Within twenty (20) calendar days after the
end of each calendar month, an income statement (with budget variance

5.3.1.4 Promptly after the end of each calendar

will use its best efforts to have the Company Accountant prepare and
deliver to each Member a report setting forth in sufficient detail all
such information and data with respect to business transactions
effected by or involving the Company during the calendar year as will
enable the Company and each Member to timely prepare its federal, state
and local income tax returns (including with respect to quarterly
estimated tax payments) in accordance with the laws, rules and
regulations then prevailing. The Managing Member will use its
reasonable efforts to have the Company Accountant also prepare federal,
state and local tax returns required of the Company and to submit those
returns to the Company for its approval no later than 30 calendar days
prior to the date required for the filing thereof (including any
extensions granted) and will file the tax returns after they have been
made available to the Members for review and approved by the Managing
Member. In the event the Managing Member shall not desire or be able to
approve any such tax return prior to the date required for the filing
thereof (including any extensions granted), the Company will timely
obtain an extension of such date if such extension is available under
applicable law. In all cases, tax returns shall be prepared and filed
in accordance with applicable law and with the provisions of this
Agreement.
5.3.2 All decisions as to accounting principles shall be made
by the Managing Member subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

regular accountant and auditor for the Company (the "COMPANY ACCOUNTANT") a
nationally-recognized accounting firm or any other accounting firm acceptable to
the Managing Member in its sole discretion. The fees and expenses of the Company
Accountant shall be a Company expense.
ARTICLE 6
CONTRIBUTIONS
-------------
SECTION 6.1 INITIAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS. The "INITIAL CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS" of the Members and initial Capital Account balances shall be as
described on Schedule 1.1 attached hereto.
SECTION 6.2 ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS.
6.2.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, no Member shall be
obligated to make any additional contributions of capital (all
contributions of capital to the
18
23
Company, including the Initial Capital Contributions, "CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS") to the Company (including upon dissolution and
liquidation of the Company). Upon the making of any additional Capital
Contributions, each Member's Percentage Interest shall thereafter be
equal to the ratio, expressed as a percentage, equal to the aggregate
Capital Contributions made by such Member divided by the aggregate
Capital Contributions made by all Members to the Company.
6.2.2 The Managing Member shall monitor the finances of the
Company in an attempt to determine whether or not, and when, the cash
receipts of the Company are insufficient to pay all costs and expenses
of the Company (such costs and expenses, the "NECESSARY COSTS"). Prior
to the Managing Member contributing any capital to the Company (other
than the Managing Member's Initial Capital Contribution), the Managing
Member shall issue capital calls to the Members to fund shortfalls
related to the Company (the "CAPITAL CALL NOTICE"). Such Capital Call
Notice shall set forth the amount of the required funds (the "REQUIRED
FUNDS") and a list of Necessary Costs, and shall specify a date (the
"CAPITAL CALL DUE DATE") for contribution of such funds. Upon receipt
of the Capital Call Notice, the Non-Managing Member shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to fund its proportionate share (based
on its respective Percentage Interest) of the total funds specified in
the Capital Call Notice. The Capital Call Due Date shall be at least
thirty (30) days after receipt of the Capital Call Notice unless a
shorter time is agreed to by the Non-Managing Member. All additional
Capital Contributions shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to an account of the Company.
6.2.3 To the extent the Non-Managing Member elects not to fund
its proportional share of the Required Funds, the Managing Member shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to contribute the unfunded
amount to the Company. Should the Managing Member elect to fund such
amount, then the Members' Percentage Interests will be adjusted as
described in subsection 6.2.1.
SECTION 6.3 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. The provisions hereof are
intended for the benefit of the Members and the Company only and shall not
confer any right or claim upon, or otherwise inure to the benefit of, any
officer or creditor of, or other third party having dealings with, the Company.
SECTION 6.4 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. A Capital Account shall be maintained for
each Member. Initially, the Capital Account of each Member shall be credited
with the amounts referred to in Schedule 1.1. Thereafter, each Member's Capital
Account shall be credited with such Member's share of Profits, any individual
items of income and gain allocated to such Member pursuant to the provisions of
Article 7, the amount of additional cash, and the Book Value of any asset (net
of any liabilities assumed by the Company and liabilities to which the asset is
subject), contributed to the Company by such Member (an "ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTION"), and shall be debited with the Member's share of Losses, any
individual items of deduction and loss allocated to such Member pursuant to the
provisions of Article 7, the
19
24
amount of any cash distributed to such Member and the Book Value of any asset
distributed to such Member (net of any liabilities assumed by the Member and
liabilities to which the asset is subject). Each Member's Capital Account shall
also be credited with the amount of Company liabilities assumed by such Member
or that are secured by any property distributed to such Member, and each
Member's Capital Account shall be debited with the amount of any liabilities of
such Member assumed by the Company or that are secured by any property
contributed by such Member to the Company. In the event that all or a portion of
an interest in the Company is transferred in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor
to the extent it related to the transferred interest.
The provisions of this Section 6.4 and the other provisions in this
Agreement relating to maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply
with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b) and shall be interpreted in a
manner consistent therewith.
SECTION 6.5 WITHDRAWAL OF CAPITAL. Except as provided herein, (i) no
Member shall be entitled to withdraw any part of its Capital Account, (ii) no
Member shall be entitled to receive any interest on its Capital Account or
distributions from the Company, and (iii) no Member shall be entitled to demand
or receive any property from the Company other than cash.
SECTION 6.6 NEGATIVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. In no event shall any Member be
obligated to make any capital contribution to the Company solely as a result of
the existence at any time of a negative Capital Account balance for such Member.
SECTION 6.7 SATISFACTION OF INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER DISTRIBUTION
AGREEMENT. Payments made to the Company by PAH or its affiliates, or by the
Company to PAH or its affiliates, in satisfaction of indemnity or "true-up"
obligations under the Distribution Agreement or the Settlement Agreement shall,
except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, be treated as made by the
Member that contributed the asset related to the indemnity claim or true-up
obligation on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Member's initial Percentage
Interests. The Members shall cooperate to execute any documents reasonably
requested by PAH in furtherance of the foregoing. Any such payments made
pursuant to the Distribution Agreement or Settlement Agreement shall be neither
credited nor charged to the Capital Accounts of any of the Members.
ARTICLE 7
ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES; TAX MATTERS
---------------------------------------------
SECTION 7.1 PROFITS AND LOSSES. Profits and Losses for each fiscal year
of the Company shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their
respective Percentage Interests as determined from time to time. The Percentage
Interests of the Members shall be
20
25
appropriately adjusted to reflect any disproportionate contribution made by one
or more of the Members.
SECTION 7.2 REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS.
7.2.1 Notwithstanding subsection 7.1, the following special
allocations shall be made each taxable year, to the extent required, in the
following order:
(i) Minimum Gain Chargebacks and Qualified Income Offset.
Items of Company income and gain shall be allocated
to the extent of, and in an amount sufficient to
satisfy, the "minimum gain chargeback" requirements
of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and (i)(4)
and the "qualified income offset" requirement of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3).
(ii) Nonrecourse and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions.
"Nonrecourse deductions" of the Company (within the
meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(b)(1)) shall be allocated among the Members
in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests. "Partner nonrecourse deductions" (within
the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section
1.704-2(i)) shall be allocated to the Member who
bears the economic risk of loss associated with such
deductions, in accordance with Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i).
(iii) Any Other Allocations of Items That Cannot Have
Economic Effect. Unless otherwise required by Code
Section 704(b) or the Treasury Regulations
promulgated thereunder or otherwise provided in this
subsection 7.2.2, any allocations of Company items of
income, gain, loss, deduction or credit that cannot
have "economic effect" (within the meaning of
Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1 and 1.704-2)
shall be allocated among the Members in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests.
(iv) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in
this Section 7.2.1 (the "Regulatory Allocations") are
intended to comply with certain requirements of the
Treasury Regulations. It is the intention of the
Members that, to the extent possible, all Regulatory
Allocations shall be offset either with other
Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations
pursuant to this Section 7.2. Therefore,
notwithstanding, any other provision of this
Agreement (other than the Regulatory Allocations),
offsetting special allocations of Company income,
gain, loss or deduction shall be made as appropriate
so that, taking into account such special
allocations, each Member's Capital Account balance
is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital
Account balance
21
26
such Member would have had if the Regulatory
Allocations were not part of this Agreement; provided
that such offsetting special allocations shall take
into account future Regulatory Allocations that are
likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations
previously made.
7.2.2 Maintenance of Percentage Interests. It is the intention
of the parties that the Capital Account balances of the Members reflect their
respective Percentage Interests. In furtherance of the foregoing, from time to
time and to the extent necessary, items of Company income, gain, loss or
deduction shall be allocated to the Members to the extent possible to ensure
that each Member's Capital Account balance properly reflects its Percentage
Interest relative to the Capital Account balances of the other Member(s).
SECTION 7.3 TAX ALLOCATIONS. The Company's ordinary income and losses
and capital gain as determined for tax purposes (and each item of income, gain,
loss or deduction entering into the computation thereof) shall be allocated to
the Members in the same proportions as the corresponding "book" items are
allocated pursuant to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, tax items relating to property with an adjusted tax basis that is
different from its Book Value shall be allocated among the Members in accordance
with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder.
Items described in this Section 7.3 shall neither be credited nor charged to the
Member's Capital Accounts.
SECTION 7.4 TAX MATTERS MEMBER. The Managing Member is hereby
designated as the "TAX MATTERS MEMBER" for the Company (as such term is defined
in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code), and all federal, state and local tax audits
and litigation shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Member.
Any action taken by the Tax Matters Member shall be made as a fiduciary with
respect to the interests of all Members notwithstanding any other provision
contained herein.
22
27
SECTION 7.5 TAX ELECTIONS. All elections required or permitted to be
made by the Code or other applicable tax laws, and all material decisions with
respect to the calculation of taxable income or tax loss under the Code or any
other applicable tax laws, shall be made by the Tax Matters Member; provided
that the Tax Matters Member shall consult with and obtain the consent of the
other Member(s) (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) to the extent
that any such election or decision could adversely impact the other Member(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Non-Managing Member shall be entitled to
determine whether the Company will elect installment sale treatment under
Section 453 of the Code with respect to property contributed to the Company by
the Non-Managing Member. In addition, the Members agree that the Company will
use the "traditional method" of allocations under Section 704(c) of the Code and
the Treasury Regulations issued thereunder with respect to all assets held or to
be held by the Company as of the date of this Agreement. In the event that one
or more of the Members desires to make additional contributions to the Company
of assets that would be subject to Section 704(c) of the Code, the Members shall
agree on a Section 704(c) methodology that will apply to such assets.
ARTICLE 8
DISTRIBUTIONS
-------------
SECTION 8.1 CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTIONS.
8.1.1 At such times as are determined by the Managing Member
(but no less frequently than quarterly), the Company shall make a
distribution of Net Operating Cash Flow of the Company (to the extent
positive). Net Operating Cash Flow distributions shall be made pro rata
to the Members, in accordance with their Percentage Interests.
8.1.2 Except upon the liquidation of the Company (in which
event Net Capital Proceeds shall be distributed pursuant to Section
10.2) and as provided in Article 8A, any Net Capital Proceeds shall be
distributed by the Company to the Members pro rata in accordance with
their Percentage Interests, within thirty (30) days following receipt.
8.1.3 Except as provided in subsection 8.1.1 and subsection
8.1.2 above, no portion of any capital contribution made by any Member
to the Company may be withdrawn or distributed at any time.
8.1.4 If the Percentage Interests of the Members are adjusted
effective at any time or times during any fiscal year of the Company,
all distributions of cash made to the Members during such fiscal year
(without regard to the actual timing of such distributions) shall be
allocated to each portion of such fiscal year during which different
Percentage Interests are in effect in the proportion that the number of
days in such portion bears to the total number of days in such fiscal
year except with respect to
23
28
Net Capital Proceeds, in which case such proceeds shall be distributed
in accordance with the Percentage Interests on the date of the
applicable transaction. The amounts so allocated to each such portion
of said fiscal year shall be divided among the Members in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests in effect during each such
portion of the fiscal year in question. Such allocations to such
portions of a fiscal year, and the adjustments, if any, of such cash
distributions made during such year, shall be determined with
reasonable promptness after the close of each such fiscal year by the
Company Accountant. The Members will promptly make any adjusting
payments between them as may be required in order to effect any
adjustments of such cash distributions as determined by the Company
Accountant.
8.1.5 Pursuant to and to the extent required by the Settlement
Agreement, the Company shall make a special distribution of cash or
cash equivalent to the Managing Member in the amount of the Adjusted
Positive Net Working Capital (as defined in the Settlement Agreement),
which distribution shall cause an adjustment to the Managing Member's
Capital Account as required by Section 6.4 but which shall not affect
the Managing Member's Percentage Interest. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary, immediately prior to the distribution of the Company's
assets upon the liquidation or termination of the Company pursuant to
Section 10.4 of this Agreement, the Managing Member shall be specially
allocated an amount of gross income or gain, or the Non-Managing Member
shall be specially allocated an amount of loss or deduction, such that
the relative Capital Account balances of the Members will be in
proportion upon liquidation to their respective Percentage Interests.
ARTICLE 8A
COMPANY'S INTEREST IN INTERCARP
-------------------------------
The Members acknowledge that the Company holds certain interests in
Intercarp Limited Partnership (the "INTERCARP INTERESTS") which are subject to
the Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which such interests are expected to
be sold to F&H Realty LLC. If the Intercarp Interests are sold pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement, as such Asset Purchase Agreement may be amended from
time to time, (i) any cash received at the closing of the transaction shall not
be distributed to the Members pursuant to this Agreement, notwithstanding
Section 8.1.2, and shall instead be used by the Company to pay current
liabilities, and (ii) with respect to any note in an amount not to exceed $5.75
million received at the closing of the transaction, all interest income and
principal payments with respect to such note shall be distributed to the
Managing Member; provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply if Northridge
Holdings, IHC, or any of their affiliates (other than the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company) fails to make a loan to F&H Realty LLC with a
principal amount of at least $2.5 million as required pursuant to the Asset
Purchase Agreement.

--------
SECTION 9.1 NO TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.
9.1.1 Except as expressly permitted or contemplated by this
Agreement, no Member may sell, assign, give, hypothecate, pledge,
encumber or otherwise transfer ("TRANSFER") all or any portion of its
Interest, whether directly or indirectly (including the transfer of
interests in the Managing Member), without the written consent of the
other Members.
9.1.2 Any Transfer by a Member of its Interest in
contravention of this Article 9 shall be null and void. No Member shall
withdraw from the Company except in connection with a Permitted

SECTION 9.2 PERMITTED TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
9.2.1 The Non-Managing Member, from time to time and in its
sole discretion, without the consent of the Managing Member, may
Transfer its Interest in whole, or in part, to any party, provided such
transferee agrees to be bound by all the terms, conditions and
provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of this Article
9). Any Transfer of the Non-Managing Member's Interest to a third party
shall be deemed a Permitted Transfer, and if such transferee acquires
all of the Non-Managing Member's Interest, such transferee shall be
admitted as a Substitute Member pursuant to Section 9.3.
9.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a
proposed transfer of all or part of the Non-Managing Member's Interest
to a third-party that is not an affiliate of PAH in a transaction that
would cause PAH to recognize any of the "built-in gain" with respect to
its interest in the Company or the assets of the Company (a "SPECIAL
TRANSFER EVENT"), the following procedures shall apply:
9.2.2.1 The Non-Managing Member shall, prior to any
transfer permitted under subsection 9.2.1, offer in writing
(the "FIRST OFFER NOTICE") to sell to the Managing Member all
or any part of its Percentage Interest (the "OFFERED
PERCENTAGE INTEREST"). The Managing Member shall notify the
Non-Managing Member within fifteen (15) Business Days of
receipt of the First Offer Notice that the Managing Member
either: a) is willing to purchase the Offered Percentage
Interest at a given price (the "FIRST OFFER PRICE"), or b) is
unwilling to purchase the Offered Percentage Interest. A
failure to respond to a First Offer Notice within such fifteen
(15) Business-Day period shall be deemed to be an election not
to purchase the Percentage Interest.
9.2.2.2 If the Managing Member has timely offered
elected to
25
30
purchase the Percentage Interest specified in the First Offer
Notice, then the Non-Managing Member may: a) sell the Offered
Percentage Interest to the Managing Member at the First Offer
Price (which, the sale shall be without recourse,
representation or warranty, except that the Non-Managing
Member shall represent and warrant that it has authority to
sell, and owns the Interest free and clear of liens or claims
of third parties) or b) elect to market and sell the Offered
Percentage Interest to third parties within 180 days of
receiving the First Offer Price at a price not less than
ninety-eight percent (98%) of the First Offer Price. If the
Non-Managing Member does not transfer its interest within such
180 day period, then prior to any transfer which would result
in a Special Transfer Event, the Non-Managing Member shall
again comply with the terms of this subsection 9.2.2.
9.2.3 Any Permitted Transfer shall not relieve the transferor
of any of its obligations prior to such Transfer. Nothing contained in
this Article 9 shall prohibit a Transfer indirectly of a Member's
Interest in the Company if a direct Transfer would otherwise be
permitted under this Section 9.2. Subject to Section 9.3, any
transferee of a direct Interest pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall
become a Substitute Member of the Company. Each Member and its
permitted transferees shall be treated as one Member for all purposes
of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 9.2 will not apply to
or be deemed to authorize or permit any collateral transfer of, or
grant of a security interest in, a Member's interest in the Company or
in any asset of the Company (which transfer or grant shall be subject
to the other provisions of this Agreement).
SECTION 9.3 TRANSFEREES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, no transfer of all or any part of any Interest
shall be made if, as a result thereof, any income of the Company will be subject
to corporate federal income tax. No transferee of all or any portion of any
Interest shall be admitted as a Member unless such Interest is transferred in
compliance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, such transferee
shall have furnished evidence of satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9.2
reasonably satisfactory to the remaining Members, and such transferee shall have
executed and delivered to the Company such instruments necessary to effectuate
the admission of such transferee as a Member and to confirm the agreement of
such transferee to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement
with respect to such Interest. At the request of the remaining Members prior to
such transfer, each such transferee shall also cause to be delivered to the
Company, at the transferee's sole cost and expense, a favorable opinion of legal
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company, to the effect that such transferee
has the legal right, power and capacity to own the Interest proposed to be
transferred. As promptly as practicable after the admission of any Person as a
Member, the books and records of the Company shall be changed to reflect such
admission. Upon satisfaction of the requirements of this Section 9.3 and any
other applicable provisions of this Agreement), such transferee shall be a
substitute Member (a "SUBSTITUTE MEMBER") of the Company. All reasonable costs
and expenses
26
31
incurred by the Company in connection with any Transfer of any Interest and, if
applicable, the admission of any transferee as a Member shall be paid by such
transferee.
SECTION 9.4 ADMISSION OF ADDITIONAL MEMBERS.
9.4.1 No person may be admitted as an additional Member of the
Company (in contrast with admission as a Substitute Member in
connection with a Permitted Transfer) without the prior written consent
of the Members.
9.4.2 Any additional Member admitted to the Company shall
execute and deliver documentation in form satisfactory to the Managing
Member or the Members, as the case may be, accepting and agreeing to be
bound by this Agreement, and such other documentation as the Managing
Member or the Members, as the case may be, shall require in order to
effect such person's admission as an additional Member. The admission
of any person as an additional Member (an "ADDITIONAL MEMBER") shall
become effective as of the date upon which the name of such person is
recorded on the books and records of the Company following the consent
of the Managing Member or the Members, as the case may be, to such
admission.
ARTICLE 10
TERMINATION
-----------
SECTION 10.1 DISSOLUTION. The Company shall be dissolved and its
business wound up upon the happening of any of the following events, whichever
shall first occur:
10.1.1 the Bankruptcy of any Member, if within ninety (90)
days thereafter a majority in interest of the remaining Members (the
"REMAINING MEMBERS") shall not have elected to continue the Company,
which right of election is hereby granted to them;
10.1.2 entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the
Company; or
10.1.3 the termination of all of the Existing Contracts and
any renewals or replacements thereof entered into in accordance with
subsection 2.4.1.
In no event shall the Company dissolve prior to the occurrence of one of the
events set forth above.
SECTION 10.2 TERMINATION. In cases of dissolution of the Company, the
business of the Company shall be wound up and the Company terminated (and the
Company shall cause the Existing Subsidiaries to be wound up and the business of
the Existing Subsidiaries to be
27
32
terminated) as promptly as practicable thereafter, and each of the following
shall be accomplished:
10.2.1 The Liquidating Member shall cause to be prepared a
statement setting forth the assets and liabilities of the Company (as
consolidated with the Existing Subsidiaries) as of the date of
dissolution, a copy of which statement shall be furnished to all of the
Members.
10.2.2 The property and assets of the Company (including those
held by the Existing Subsidiaries) shall be liquidated by the
Liquidating Member as promptly as possible, but in an orderly and
businesslike and commercially reasonable manner. The Liquidating Member
may, in the exercise of its business judgment and if commercially
reasonable, determine not to sell all or any portion of the property
and assets of the Company, in which event such property and assets
shall be distributed in kind pursuant to subsection 10.2.4 below.
10.2.3 Any income, gain, profit or loss realized by the
Company upon the sale or other disposition of its property pursuant to
subsection 10.2.2 shall be allocated to the Members as and to the
extent required by Article 7 hereof.
10.2.4 The proceeds of sale and all other assets of the
Company shall be applied and distributed as follows and in the
following order of priority:
(i) To the payment of the Company's outstanding
liabilities, which shall be set forth on a statement
as provided in subsection 10.2.1.
(ii) To the setting up of any reserves that the
Liquidating Member shall determine to be reasonably
necessary for contingent, unliquidated or unforseen
liabilities or obligations of the Company or the
Members arising out of or in connection with the
Company. Such reserves, may, in the discretion of the
Liquidating Member, be paid over to a national bank
or national title with the Company as escrowee for
the purposes of disbursing such reserves to satisfy
the liabilities and obligations described above, and
at the expiration of such period as the Liquidating
Member may reasonably deem advisable, distribute any
remaining balance in the manner set forth below.
(iii) To each Member in accordance with their respective
Capital Account balances.
No payment or distribution in any of the foregoing categories shall be
made until all payments in each prior category shall have been made in
full. If the payments due to be made in any of the foregoing categories
exceed the remaining assets available for such purpose, such payment
shall be made to the Persons entitled to receive the same pro
28
33
rata in accordance with the respective amount due to each such Person.
Payments described in clause (ii) above may be made in cash or in
assets of the Company in kind. Any asset distributed in kind shall be
distributed pro-rata unless the Members otherwise agree in writing and
shall be valued at its fair market value and for all purposes of this
Agreement shall be treated as if such asset had been sold at such value
and the net cash proceeds therefrom distributed to the Members. Without
limiting the foregoing, with respect to any assets distributed in kind,
there shall be a calculation of the amount of income, gain, profit or
loss that would have been realized by the Company with respect to such
assets if such assets had been sold at fair market value.
SECTION 10.3 ACTS IN FURTHERANCE OF LIQUIDATION. Each Member, upon the
request of the Liquidating Member, shall promptly execute, acknowledge and
deliver all documents and other instruments as the Liquidating Member shall
reasonably request to effectuate the proper dissolution and termination of the
Company, including the winding up of the business of the Company.
ARTICLE 11
TAG-ALONG AND DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS
-------------------------------
SECTION 11.1 NOTICE OF PROPOSED TRANSACTION. If the Board of Directors
of either Managing Member or IHC votes to approve or to recommend that
stockholders of Managing Member or IHC consider and approve a transaction that,
together with any other transactions within the preceding twelve (12) months,
would result in (i) a Person and its Affiliates, or a group of Persons within
the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, (an "ACQUIROR") acquiring
beneficial ownership of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, par value
$.01 per share, of Managing Member or IHC (the "INTERSTATE COMMON STOCK") or
(ii) the sale, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of Managing Member or IHC (in either case, a "TRANSACTION"), then
Managing Member shall give written notice of such vote (a "SALE NOTICE") to
Non-Managing Member not less than two (2) business days following the date of
such vote. The date of such Sale Notice shall not be less than ten (10) business
days prior to the closing of the Transaction to which it relates. The Sale
Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the name of the parties to the
proposed Transaction, the terms and conditions of the Transaction (including the
purchase price and any other material economic terms) and the scheduled date of
the Transaction. In addition, Managing Member shall provide Non-Managing Member
with additional information reasonably requested by Non-Managing Member relating
to the Transaction or the Acquiror.
SECTION 11.2 TAG-ALONG AND DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS.
(a) In the event that the Board of Directors of Managing
Member or IHC votes to approve any Transaction or to recommend that the
stockholders of Managing Member or IHC consider any Transaction, Managing Member
shall, at the written election of Non-Managing Member given within five (5)
business days of the later of the date of the applicable
29
34
Sale Notice or the date on which Non-Managing Member learns of the Transaction
(in which case Managing Member shall promptly deliver a Sale Notice to
Non-Managing Member), use its best efforts to cause the terms and conditions of
the proposed Transaction to include an offer to purchase Non-Managing Member's
Interest in accordance with the provisions set forth below. In the event that
Managing Member is unable to cause the terms and conditions of the Transaction
to include an offer to purchase Non-Managing Member's Interest in accordance
with the provisions set forth below, Managing Member shall be deemed to have
elected to purchase Non-Managing Member's Interest on the terms set forth below.
(b) In the event that Managing Member has given a Sale Notice
to Non-Managing Member, and Non-Managing Member does not elect to participate in
the Transaction within the five (5) business day period set forth above,
Managing Member may, at its option (i) proceed with the Transaction on its
original terms or (ii) by written notice to Non-Managing Member given within
five (5) business days after the five (5) business day period set forth in (a)
above, require Non-Managing Member to sell its Interest to the Acquiror or
Managing Member on the terms set forth below.
SECTION 11.3 TERMS.
(a) If, at any time on or prior to June 18, 2002, Non-Managing
Member elects to sell, or Managing Member or Acquiror (such Person, the "BUYER")
elects to buy, as the case may be, Non-Managing Member's Interest, in either
case, pursuant to Section 11.2, the purchase price for Non-Managing Member's
Interest for purposes of this Article 11 shall be calculated on the following
basis. The value of the Transaction shall be determined, with appropriate
adjustment if less than all of the Interstate Common Stock or assets of Managing
Member or IHC are being purchased in the Transaction, and taking into account
all cash and non-cash consideration (including any deferred consideration), less
out of pocket expenses paid by Managing Member in the transaction (such as
legal, financial advisory and similar fees). A multiple of Managing Member's
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") for
the twelve full months immediately preceding the month in which the Board of
Directors of Managing Member (or IHC, as applicable) voted to approve the
Transaction or to recommend that the stockholders of Managing Member (or IHC, as
applicable) consider the Transaction shall then be calculated by dividing the
value of the Transaction by such EBITDA. A value for the Company shall then be
calculated by multiplying the Company's EBITDA for the twelve full months
immediately preceding the month in which the Board of Directors of Managing
Member (or IHC, as applicable) voted to approve the Transaction or to recommend
that the stockholders of Managing Member (or IHC, as applicable) consider the
Transaction by the multiple calculated in accordance with the preceding
sentence. The purchase price for Non-Managing Member's Interest shall be equal
to the value of the Company calculated in accordance with the preceding sentence
multiplied by Non-Managing Member's Percentage Interest. Non-Managing Member
shall be obligated to pay only expenses incurred by Non-Managing Member in the
sale, and shall not be obligated for any transfer fees or taxes, financial
advisory fees or other amounts unless contracted for by PAH or Patriot REIT.
30
35
(b) If, at any time after June 18, 2002, Non-Managing Member
elects to sell, or a Buyer elects to buy, as the case may be, Non-Managing
Member's Interest, in either case, pursuant to Section 11.2, the purchase price
for Non-Managing Member's Interest for purposes of this Article 11 shall be
negotiated between Non-Managing Member and the Buyer within five (5) business
days. If the Buyer and Non-Managing Member are unable to reach agreement on the
purchase price within such time period, then either Managing Member or
Non-Managing Member may demand that the purchase price be determined in the
following manner. Within five (5) business days of such demand, Non-Managing
Member and Managing Member shall select a nationally-recognized investment bank
or other nationally-recognized independent appraiser; provided that such bank or
appraiser must have experience valuing hotel management companies (such bank or
appraiser, an "APPRAISER"). If Managing Member and Non-Managing Member are
unable to select an Appraiser, then, within an additional five (5) business
days, each such party shall select an Appraiser and the two (2) Appraisers so
selected shall, within an additional five (5) business days, select a third
Appraiser. Each Appraiser shall, in good faith, determine a fair market value
(the "FAIR MARKET VALUE") for Non-Managing Member's Interest taking into account
all relevant factors, utilizing methodology typically employed in valuing hotel
management companies. If one Appraiser is hired, the purchase price for
Non-Managing Member's Interest shall equal the Fair Market Value; if more than
one Appraiser is hired, then the purchase price for Non-Managing Member's
Interest shall equal the average of each such determination of Fair Market
Value. The determination of the purchase price in such manner shall be binding
upon the parties and shall not be subject to dispute or appeal. Non-Managing
Member shall be obligated to pay one-half the expenses of each Appraiser and
expenses incurred by Non-Managing Member in the sale, and shall not be obligated
for any transfer fees or taxes, financial advisory fees or other amounts unless
contracted for by PAH or Patriot REIT.
(c) If Managing Member is acquiring Non-Managing Member's
Interest, the agreement for the purchase and sale of Non-Managing Member's
Interest shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the
agreement relating to the acquisition of the stock or assets of Managing Member
or IHC by the Acquiror, with appropriate modifications to reflect that
Non-Managing Member is a passive investor in the Company and has no independent
knowledge of the Company's assets or business.
(d) Managing Member and Non-Managing Member agree that a
breach of any of the terms, conditions or other obligations under this Article
11 may result in irreparable harm to the non-breaching party, and shall give
rise to a right of the non-breaching party to seek enforcement of the provisions
of this Article 11 in a court of equity by a decree of specific performance.
This remedy is intended to be cumulative and in addition to any other remedy a
party may have.
SECTION 11.4 CLOSING. The closing of any purchase of Non-Managing
Member's Interest pursuant to this Article 11 shall occur simultaneously with
the closing of the Transaction which gave rise to such purchase, whether such
purchase is made by an Acquiror or by Managing Member.

obligation of the Member enforceable in accordance with its terms,
subject to the application of principles of equity and laws governing
insolvency and creditors' rights generally.
12.1.3 No consents or approvals are required from any
governmental authority or other Person for the Member to enter into
this Agreement. All limited liability company, corporate or partnership
action on the part of the Member necessary for the authorization,

order or decree to which it or its properties are subject.
12.1.5 No Member has retained any broker, finder or other
commission or fee agent, and no such person has acted on its behalf in
connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
12.1.6 Each Member is acquiring its interest in the Company
for investment, solely for its own account, with the intention of
holding such interest for investment and not with a view to, or for
resale in connection with, any distribution or public offering or
resale of any portion of such interest within the meaning of the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "SECURITIES ACT") or any other applicable
federal or state securities law, rule or regulation ("SECURITIES
LAWS").

interest in the Company has not been registered under the Securities
Act or under any other Securities Law in reliance upon exemption
contained therein. Each Member understands and acknowledges that its
representations and warranties contained herein are being relied upon
by the Company, the other Members and the constituent owners of such
other
32
37

the other Members. Each Member acknowledges that it understands that
the acquisition of its interest in the Company is a speculative
investment involving a high degree of risk and represents that it has a
net worth sufficient to bear the economic risk of its investment in the
Company and to justify its investing in a highly speculative Company of
this type.
