The Financial Manager hereby gives notice to the Committee, and the Committee hereby acknowledges receipt of, and agrees by Resolution with such notice, that the Financial Manager intends to use Related Suppliers to execute some of his duties including but not limited to:

(a) bookkeeping, accounting and tax planning services; (b) director relations; and (c) property management and property management supervision services; and (d) marketing services.

All such use of Related Suppliers and payments for such services shall be clearly disclosed and detailed to the Committee, upon written request by any Member. All such expenses shall be reasonable.

ARTICLE II: FINANCING THE CORPORATION 2.01 Initial Shareholders Loans

Contemporaneously with the execution hereof, each of the Shareholders shall make initial cash contributions ("Initial Financial Contributions") to the Corporation as set out in Schedule “I” sufficient in total to satisfy the sum of:

(a) the down payment and closing costs to buy the Property (may include share

subscription for ______ Ltd.); (b) an acquisition management fee equal to zero percent (0 %) of the purchase price

of the Property payable on closing by Shareholders to the Corporation; (c) and a reserve deemed sufficient by the Committee to be held by the Corporation

and used as deemed necessary by the Committee. 2.02 Additional Financial Contributions

It is the intention of the Shareholders that all initial cash requirements of the Corporation be satisfied through the Initial Financial Contributions. To the extent that the Corporation requires funds in addition to the Initial Financial Contributions, either initially or later, the Shareholders hereby agree to make such additional cash contributions ("Additional Financial Contributions") as are specified by the Financial

Manager in the same percentages as their Interests in order to enable the Corporation to carry out the Purpose of this Agreement.

(a) Notice by the Financial Manager to the Shareholders requesting Additional

Financial Contributions ("Cash Call") can be overruled by Resolution of the Committee.

(b) Each Shareholders shall have thirty (30) days ("Date of First Default") from the

date of the Cash Call ("Date of Cash Call") by the Financial Manager to contribute the Additional Financial Contributions. The Financial Manager shall be the judge to decide whether additional cash or co-operation ("Co-operation") is required. Co-operation, without limiting the generality of its common dictionary meaning requires Shareholders to do any and all things that the Financial Manager, in its discretion, deems necessary for the operation of the Corporation.

(c) If any Shareholder ("Defaulting Shareholder") fails to co-operate or to meet a

Cash Call by the Date of First Default, then the other Shareholders ("Contributing Shareholders") shall forthwith have the right to advance the Additional Financial Contributions on behalf of the Defaulting Shareholder.

(d) If the cash offered by the other Shareholders is more than the Cash Call, then the

Financial Manager shall decide on the amounts that each Contributing Shareholder shall be allowed to contribute.

(e) If insufficient funds (the difference being the "Cash Call Shortfall") are offered

by the Shareholders, the Financial Manager is hereby authorized by the Shareholders to forthwith take any or all of the following actions:

(i) seek and allow an outside party (also called a "Contributing Shareholder")

to contribute the Cash Call Shortfall, or any part thereof. If such outside party, through his actions as Contributing Shareholder, assumes or is entitled to assume an Interest in the Property or the Corporation, then such party, as a prerequisite to assuming such Interest, shall execute this Agreement and all such other documents as may be reasonably requested by the Financial Manager.

(ii) seek and commit to loans, for which the Defaulting Shareholder is to be held responsible;

(iii) take whatever other steps it deems necessary.

(f) The Contributing Shareholders shall have a lien or charge on the Interest of the Defaulting Shareholder. If the Defaulting Shareholder shall remain in default ("Default") in Co-operation or payment of monies for a period of sixty (60) days ("Date of Second Default") from the Date of Cash Call, then the Interest of the Defaulting Shareholder shall be dealt with as specified in Section 2.03.

(g) Each Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other Shareholders

from all costs, expenses and damages incurred by the other Shareholders as a result of the failure of any Shareholder to satisfy a Cash Call or Co-operation.

(h) For an Shareholder to meet a Cash Call after the Date of First Default and before the Date of Second Default, that Shareholder must pay to the Corporation or, if there is a Contributing Shareholder, to that Contributing Shareholder, the amount of the Cash Call plus interest at the rate of Scotia Bank prime plus five percentage points with interest calculated from the date of first default. Scotia Bank prime means the variable interest rate declared from time to time to be the Scotia Bank prime rate for Canadian dollar loans made by Scotia Bank in Canada.

(i) If and when the failure to meet a Cash Call is remedied in full as specified in this

Section, the Defaulting Shareholder shall be forthwith reinstated in full and any liens or charges shall be discharged at the expense of the Defaulting Shareholder.

2.03 Default on Cash Call or Co-operation

(a) In the case of Default, the Contributing Shareholder, in his sole discretion, shall opt for a cash settlement ("Cash Settlement") as defined in this Article by notifying the Committee and the Defaulting Shareholder of his decision within thirty (30) days of the date of second default. If the Contributing Shareholder fails to make such notification in the prescribed time allotted, the Committee is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the decision on the Contributing Shareholder's behalf.

(b) The Defaulting Shareholder specifically, absolutely and irrevocably authorizes,

constitutes and appoints the Contributing Shareholder as his lawful agent and attorney to do or cause to be done all acts or things, and to execute and deliver all documentation necessary or desirable in order to give effect to the provisions of this Section.

2.04 Cash Settlement In the Cash Settlement option, the Defaulting Shareholder shall pay to the Contributing Shareholder the sum of:

(a) the Defaulting Shareholder's share of the Cash Call; (b) a fee for arranging the required cash (the "Arranging Fee")

calculated as 20% of the Defaulting Shareholder's share of the Cash Call and deemed to have been incurred on the date that the Defaulting Shareholder's share of the Cash Call was met by the Contributing Shareholder;

(c) interest on any outstanding portion of the Cash Call and Arranging

Fee calculated at Scotia Bank Prime plus five percentage points calculated and payable monthly from the date the Cash Call was met by Contributing Shareholder; and

(d) interest on outstanding interest at the said rate

where all monies in addition to the Cash Call are liquidated damages and not a penalty.
