The Manager shall be the “manager” of the Company for the purposes of the Delaware Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of all such powers and rights conferred on the Members by the Delaware Act with respect to the management and control of the Company. Any vacancies in the position of Manager shall be filled in accordance with Section 6.04.
(b) The day-to-day business and operations of the Company shall be overseen and implemented by officers of the Company (each, an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), subject to the limitations imposed by the Manager. An Officer may, but need not, be a Member. Each Officer shall be appointed by the Manager and shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to the other provisions in this Agreement (including in Section 6.07 below), the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager.

If there are other Managers with respect to an Offering, you may take any action hereunder alone on behalf of the Managers, and our representations, agreements and authorizations given herein shall also be for the benefit of such other Manager to whom you may grant any of your authority to act hereunder. You may arrange for the purchase by others, who may include your or other Underwriters, of any Securities not taken up by an Underwriter in respect of its obligations hereunder who defaults under this Agreement and/or the Underwriting Agreement. We will assume our proportionate share of all defaulted obligations not assumed by others and any Securities so assumed shall be included in Our Securities. However, nothing in this paragraph will affect our liability or obligations in the event of a default by us or any other Underwriter(s). You may advertise the Offering as you determine and determine all matters relating to communications with dealers or others. We will not advertise the Offering without your consent, and we assume all expense and risk with respect to any advertising by us. Notwithstanding any information you furnish as to jurisdictions where you believe the Securities may be sold, you have no obligation for qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of any jurisdiction. You may file a New York Further State Notice. You have no liability to us except for your own lack of good faith in meeting obligations expressly assumed by you hereunder.

E. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3B and 7.3D, this Agreement shall not be amended with respect to any Partner adversely affected, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of such Partner adversely affected if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership into a general partner’s interest (except as the result of the General Partner acquiring such interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5 or Section 13.2A(4), or the allocations specified in Article 6 (except as permitted pursuant to Sections 4.4, 5.4, and Section 7.3D(2)), (iv) materially alter or modify the rights to a Redemption or the REIT Shares Amount as set forth in Section 8.6, and related definitions hereof, or (v) amend this Section 7.3E.
