Observer Rights (a) For so long as each of the BCP Entities and the CPPIB Entities individually own four percent (4%) or more of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares (without regard to the voting power of such Class B Shares) and there is no Director who is a designee of such Sponsor Entity on the Board, such Sponsor Entity shall have the right to designate one (1) non-voting observer to the Board (each, an “Observer”). The appointment and removal of any Observer shall be by written notice to the Board. Each Observer shall be a natural person. Each Observer shall be entitled to be present at all meetings of the Board and any committee thereof and shall be notified of any such meeting by reasonable prior notice, including such meeting’s time and place, in the same manner as the directors of the Board (the “Directors”) and shall receive copies of all written materials distributed to the Directors for purposes of such meetings at the same time as the Directors (except to the extent an Observer has been excluded therefrom pursuant to Section 3.01(b)); provided, however, that the Observer shall have executed a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement and such other acknowledgments and agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Board and the Sponsor Entity that designated such Observer, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall permit the Observer to share information as provided in Section 5.04; provided, further, that such Observer (x) shall not have voting rights with respect to actions taken or elected not to be taken by the Board or be counted for purposes of determining whether there is a sufficient quorum for the Board to conduct its business and (y) shall be subject to all rules governing the Board and nothing herein shall prevent the Board from acting by written instrument to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided, further, that if at any time (upon written notice to the Company), a Sponsor Entity elects to suspend the receipt of the information provided by the Company under Section 5.04(b), such Sponsor Entity may also elect to suspend the right to appoint an Observer in accordance with this Section 3.01.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may exclude an Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if:
(i) the Board concludes in good faith, upon advice of the Company’s outside legal counsel, (A) that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counselor or (B) that an Observer has a potential conflict of interest; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall apply only to such portion of the material or such portion of the meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege and not to any other portion thereof; or
(ii) such portion of a meeting is an executive session limited solely to independent director members of the Board, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board may designate, and an Observer (assuming such Observer were a member of the Board) would not meet the then-applicable standards for independence adopted by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), or such other exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded.

Board Observer Rights (a) The Company agrees that it will invite Observer to attend, in a non-voting observer capacity, all meetings of the Board and any and all Committees for the purposes of permitting Observer to have current information with respect to the affairs of the Company and the actions taken by the Board and Observer to provide input and advice with respect thereto (the “Approved Purposes”). Observer shall have the right to be heard at any such meeting, but in no event shall Observer: (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or such Committees; (ii) have the right to vote on any matter under consideration by the Board or such Committees or otherwise have any power to cause the Company to take, or not to take, any action; or (iii) except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, have or be deemed to have, or otherwise be subject to, any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) to the Company or its stockholders or any duties (fiduciary or otherwise) otherwise applicable to the directors of the Company. As a non-voting observer, Observer will also be provided (concurrently with delivery to the directors of the Company and in the same manner delivery is made to them) copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and all other materials or information (financial or otherwise) that are provided to the directors with respect to a meeting or any written consent in lieu of meeting (except to the extent Observer has been excluded therefrom pursuant to clause (c) below).
(b) If a meeting of the Board or any of the Committees is conducted via telephone or other electronic medium (e.g., videoconference), Observer may attend such meeting via the same medium; provided, however, that it shall be a material breach of this Agreement by Observer to provide any other person access to such meeting without the Company’s express prior written consent (which consent may be by e-mail).
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may exclude Observer from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if: (i) the Board concludes in good faith, upon advice of the Company’s counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege between the Company and such counsel; provided, however, that any such exclusion shall apply only to such portion of the material or such portion of the meeting which would be required to preserve such privilege and not to any other portion thereof; or (ii) such portion of a meeting is an executive session limited solely to independent director members of the Board, independent auditors and/or legal counsel, as the Board may designate, and Observer (assuming Observer were a member of the Board) would not meet the then-applicable standards for independence adopted by the New York Stock Exchange, or such other exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded.
(d) The Company shall compensate Observer in the same amount of all cash retainers, meeting fees and any other cash fees as if Observer were an independent director member of the Board and a member of each of the committees thereof, as such cash compensation may be modified from time to time. Further, the Company shall reimburse Observer for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Observer in connection with attendance at Board and Committee meetings. All compensation and reimbursements payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 1(d) shall be paid to Observer in accordance with the Company’s policies and practices with respect to director compensation and expense reimbursement then in effect; provided, however, that any such compensation or reimbursement shall be paid to Observer no later than comparable compensation or reimbursement is paid to the members of the Board.
(e) The rights described in this Section 1 shall terminate upon: (i) the end of the Observer Period, as described in the Merger Agreement; (ii) any material violation of the terms of this Agreement by Observer which (A) remains uncured within ten business days after receipt of notice thereof, or (B) if such violation is not subject to cure, directly causes harm to the Company in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion; or (iii) the death or disability of Observer.

Rights of Assignees of Partnership Interests (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.2 hereof, except as required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated for any purposes whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited Partner of its Partnership Interest until the Partnership has received notice thereof.
(b) Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a Limited Partner’s Limited Partnership Interest, but does not become a Substitute Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Limited Partnership Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 9 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.
