Any such amendment or adoption made pursuant to this Section 14.3 shall be effective at the effective time or date of the merger or consolidation.

The Subject Borrower has requested that the Agents and the Banks consent to the Proposed Loans, and the Agent and the Banks do hereby consent to the Proposed Loans; provided that: (a) the Proposed Loans shall be unsecured by any assets of the Subject Series and shall be in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of $3,000,000,000 at any time outstanding to the Subject Borrower and all other funds or other entities entitled to borrow thereunder, (b) the Proposed Loans shall be outstanding with respect to the Subject Borrower solely for the period from the date upon which the Subject Borrower shall notify the Operations Agent of any initial borrowing by such Subject Borrower under the Bank of America Instrument through December 17, 2008 (each, a “Specified Period”), (c) the Subject Borrower shall not have any outstanding Loans under the Credit Agreement during the Specified Period with respect to such Subject Borrower and such Subject Series; and (d) during the Specified Period for the Subject Borrower and such Subject Series and thereafter until the repayment in full of all Debt and other obligations owing by such Subject Borrower under the Bank of America Instruments, the Banks shall have no obligation or Commitment to make any Loans to such Subject Borrower on behalf of such Subject Series under the Credit Agreement. The above consent shall not be construed, however, as a waiver of any other provisions of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to permit any Borrower to take any other action which is prohibited by the terms of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Except as expressly stated herein, neither the execution of this Amendment nor the failure of any Agent or any Bank to exercise any right or remedy constitutes a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy under the Credit Agreement. Except as specifically waived hereby, each of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents are hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect.

(b) The Partnership is formed for the object and purpose of (and the nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership is) engaging in any lawful activity for which limited partnerships may be formed under the Delaware Act and engaging in any and all activities necessary or incidental to the foregoing.
Substituted Limited Partners A. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in his or her place (including any transferee permitted by Section 11.3). The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action, whether at law or in equity, against the Partnership or any Partner. B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the General Partner an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission), each in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner) and the acknowledgment by such transferee that each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such transferee as of the date of the transfer of the Partnership Interest to such transferee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations and warranties. C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of OP Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.
Admission of Limited Partners (a) By acceptance of the transfer of any Limited Partner Interests in accordance with Article IV or the acceptance of any Limited Partner Interests issued pursuant to Article V or pursuant to a merger or consolidation pursuant to Article XIV, and except as provided in Section 4.9, each transferee of, or other such Person acquiring, a Limited Partner Interest (including any nominee holder or an agent or representative acquiring such Limited Partner Interests for the account of another Person) (i) shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner with respect to the Limited Partner Interests so transferred or issued to such Person when any such transfer, issuance or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Partnership and such Limited Partner becomes the Record Holder of the Limited Partner Interests so transferred, (ii) shall become bound by the terms of this Agreement, (iii) represents that the transferee has the capacity, power and authority to enter into this Agreement, (iv) grants the powers of attorney set forth in this Agreement and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement, all with or without execution of this Agreement by such Person. The transfer of any Limited Partner Interests and the admission of any new Limited Partner shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement. A Person may become a Limited Partner or Record Holder of a Limited Partner Interest without the consent or approval of any of the Partners. A Person may not become a Limited Partner without acquiring a Limited Partner Interest and until such Person is reflected in the books and records of the Partnership as the Record Holder of such Limited Partner Interest. The rights and obligations of a Person who is a Non-citizen Assignee shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.9 hereof. (b) The name and mailing address of each Limited Partner shall be listed on the books and records of the Partnership maintained for such purpose by the Partnership or the Transfer Agent. The General Partner shall update the books and records of the Partnership from time to time as necessary to reflect accurately the information therein (or shall cause the Transfer Agent to do so, as applicable). A Limited Partner Interest may be represented by a Certificate, as provided in Section 4.1 hereof. (c) Any transfer of a Limited Partner Interest shall not entitle the transferee to share in the profits and losses, to receive distributions, to receive allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit or any similar item or to any other rights to which the transferor was entitled until the transferee becomes a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 10.2(a).
Certificate of Limited Liability Company Interest A Member’s limited liability company interest may be evidenced by a certificate of limited liability company interest executed by the Manager or an officer in such form as the Manager may approve; provided that such certificate of limited liability company interest shall not bear a legend that causes such limited liability company interest to constitute a security under Article 8 (including Section 8-103) of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted and in effect in the State of Delaware, or the corresponding statute of any other applicable jurisdiction.
