CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between Welsh Property Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of the REIT (defined below) (the “Operating Partnership”), and Welsh Midwest Real Estate Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Contributor”), and shall be effective as of the date accepted by the Operating Partnership, as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Effective Date”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, in connection with an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (“REIT Common Stock”), Welsh Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), desires to (i) consolidate the ownership of a portfolio of properties (the “Properties”) currently owned, directly or indirectly, by various entities and individuals through certain entities managed by Affiliates of Welsh (the “Existing Entities”), as described in the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated December 23, 2009 (the “PPM”); and (ii) own and operate such Properties as a self-administered and self-managed REIT within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code; and

WHEREAS, the consolidation of the Existing Entities (hereinafter referred to as the “Formation Transactions”) will be accomplished by a series of contributions by the owners of equity interests in such Existing Entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for units of limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) pursuant to one or more contribution agreements (including this Agreement) substantially in the form of contribution agreement accompanying the PPM (collectively, the “Formation Transactions Documentation”); and

WHEREAS, upon the closing of its IPO, the REIT shall contribute the net proceeds of such IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for that number of OP Units necessary to provide to the REIT an aggregate total value in OP Units equal to the net proceeds contributed, with a value per OP Unit equal to the initial public offering price of a share of REIT Common Stock (the “IPO Price”); and

WHEREAS, the Contributor owns all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests (the “Contributed Interests”) in the Existing Entities set forth on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Contributed Entity” and, collectively, the “Contributed Entities”); and

WHEREAS, as part of the Formation Transactions and subject to (a) the terms and conditions set forth herein; and (b) the completion of the IPO, the Contributor desires to contribute to the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership desires to acquire from the Contributor, all of the Contributor’s right, title and interests in the Contributed Interests, in exchange for OP Units; and

WHEREAS, all necessary approvals have been obtained by the parties to this Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and other terms contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

CONTRIBUTION

Section 1.01 CONTRIBUTION TRANSACTION. At the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contributor hereby agrees to assign, set over, and transfer to the Operating Partnership, absolutely and unconditionally and free and clear of all Liens, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Contributed Interests, in exchange for the consideration set forth in Section 1.02, and the Operating Partnership hereby agrees to accept such assignment by the Contributor, to be bound by the terms of the Organizational Agreements governing the Contributor’s Contributed Interests and to undertake, assume and agree to punctually and faithfully perform, pay or discharge when due and otherwise in accordance with their respective terms all agreements, covenants, conditions, obligations and liabilities of the Contributor in the Contributed Entities with respect to the Contributor’s Contributed Interests on or after the Closing Date. The Operating Partnership acknowledges that the Contributed Entities are borrowers under certain Debt that is secured by the Related Properties, as described in the PPM, and that the Contributed Entities are being contributed subject to such Debt. In addition to the contribution of the Contributed Interests set forth above, at the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contributor hereby agrees to assign, transfer and convey to the Operating Partnership all of its right, title and interest in, to and under that certain Indemnification Agreement dated November 13, 2009, by and between the Contributor and the members of the investment committee of the Contributor (the “Indemnification Agreement”), and the Operating Partnership hereby agrees to accept such assignment and to assume and agree to promptly pay and perform all of the liabilities, obligations, duties and responsibilities of the Contributor under and pursuant to the Indemnification Agreement. In consideration of the assignment and assumption of the Indemnification Agreement, the Contributor hereby agrees to cause the Operating Partnership to be named as an additional insured under the liability insurance policy taken out for the benefit of the members of the Contributor’s investment committee.

Section 1.02 CONSIDERATION. At the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Contributor hereby irrevocably agrees to accept, in exchange for its Contributed Interests, a number of OP Units equal to the Contributor’s aggregate total value set forth on Exhibit A hereto (the “Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value”), as the same may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.04 below, divided by the IPO Price.

Section 1.03 ISSUANCE OF OP UNITS. At the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall, in exchange for the Contributed Interests contributed by the Contributor, issue to the Contributor a number of OP Units equal to the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with Section 1.04 below, divided by the IPO Price. No fractional OP Units shall be issued pursuant to this Agreement. If aggregating all OP Units that the Contributor would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of any of the Formation Transactions would require

the issuance of a fractional OP Unit, the number of OP Units which the Contributor shall be entitled to receive shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

Section 1.04 CONTRIBUTOR’S FORMATION TRANSACTION VALUE ADJUSTMENT. The Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value shall be adjusted on the Closing Date as follows:

(a) the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value shall be increased by an amount equal to the Contributor’s Ratable Share of the following amounts, determined in the aggregate for all Property Owners:

(i) all Amortizing Principal Payments made by a Property Owner on or after April 1, 2010 and prior to the Cut-Off Date in respect of Debt of such Property Owner;

(ii) all Extraordinary Principal Payments made by a Property Owner after the Effective Date and prior to the Cut-Off Date in respect of Debt of such Property Owner;

(iii) all additions to Non-Operating Expense Reserves of a Property Owner made on or after April 1, 2010 and prior to the Cut-Off Date; and

(iv) all Extraordinary Expense Prepayments made by a Property Owner after the Effective Date and outstanding as of the Cut-Off Date;

in each case to the extent such amounts were paid in cash from operating income of such Property Owner, and in any event not from loan proceeds, casualty insurance proceeds or proceeds from condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, or proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Related Property or any interest therein, or that are otherwise derived from a source other than the operation, leasing, management or occupancy of such Related Property;

(b) the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Contributor’s Ratable Share of the following amounts, determined in the aggregate for all Property Owners:

(i) all Extraordinary Rent Prepayments received by a Property Owner after the Effective Date;

(ii) all Past Due Payables of a Property Owner outstanding as of the Cut-Off Date;

(iii) all withdrawals from Non-Operating Expense Reserves of a Property Owner made on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Cut-Off Date;

(iv) all distributions made by a Property Owner of funds consisting of loan proceeds, casualty insurance proceeds, proceeds from condemnation or eminent domain proceedings, or proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Related Property or any interest therein, or that are otherwise derived from a source other than the operation, leasing, management or occupancy of the Related Property; and

(v) all liens, judgments and other monetary encumbrances against a Related Property other than those permitted in connection with the Formation Transactions.

(c) the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, by an amount equal to the Contributor’s Ratable Share of the amount, if any, by which (i) the Cut-Off Date Cash Balance is greater than (in which case such value shall be increased) or less than (in which case such value shall be decreased) (ii) the Target Cash Balance.

Any adjustment to the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value shall be determined as of the Cut-Off Date, and no further adjustment shall be made thereafter. The Contributor agrees to provide, and to use the Contributor’s reasonable efforts to cause each Contributed Entity and each Property Owner to provide, such information as the Operating Partnership may reasonably require to make the adjustments to the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value as provided in this Section 1.04. The parties acknowledge and agree that in determining the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value the parties assumed, among other things, that the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value would not be subject to any pro ration or adjustment other than as specifically provided in this Section 1.04.

Section 1.05 FURTHER ACTION. If, at any time after the Closing, the Operating Partnership shall determine or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Operating Partnership the right, title or interest in or to the Contributed Interests contributed by the Contributor and the admission and substitution of the Operating Partnership for the Contributor as a member of the Contributed Entities, the Contributor shall, at the Operating Partnership’s cost, execute and deliver all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and take and do all such other actions and things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in the Contributed Interests or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Section 1.06 TRANSACTION COSTS. Regardless of whether the Closing occurs, the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall be solely responsible for all transaction costs and expenses of the REIT, the Operating Partnership, the Existing Entities, and the Contributor in connection with the Formation Transactions and the IPO, including without limitation audit and accounting fees, legal fees, lender fees, and other similar fees and expenses; provided that the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall not be responsible for any underwriting discounts and commissions relating to the OP Units received by the Contributor in the Formation Transactions.

Section 1.07 TAX TREATMENT OF THE FORMATION TRANSACTIONS. The parties hereto intend and agree, that for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent the Operating Partnership receives 100% of the Contributed Entity, the contribution of the Contributed Interests effectuated pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a transaction in “assets-over” partnership merger pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.708-1(c)(3).

To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Operating Partnership, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Contributor in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Operating Partnership.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND
INDEMNITIES OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

The Operating Partnership hereby represents and warrants to and covenants with the Contributor as follows:

Section 3.01 ORGANIZATION; AUTHORITY.

(a) The Operating Partnership is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. The Operating Partnership has all requisite power and authority to enter this Agreement and the other Formation Transactions Documentation and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and to own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its business as presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable Law, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its property make such qualification necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified would

not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Operating Partnership.

Section 3.02 DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Formation Transactions Documentation by the Operating Partnership have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action of the Operating Partnership. This Agreement, the other Formation Transactions Documentation and each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement or the other Formation Transactions Documentation constitute, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Operating Partnership, each enforceable against the Operating Partnership in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity and except to the extent that enforceability of the indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in the Formation Transactions Documentation may be limited by the federal or state securities Laws or the public policy underlying such Laws.

Section 3.03 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except in connection with the IPO and the consummation of the Formation Transactions, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any Person or Governmental Authority or under any applicable Laws is required to be obtained by the Operating Partnership in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.04 NO VIOLATION. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, the other Formation Transactions Documentation, any agreement contemplated hereby between the parties to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby between the parties to this Agreement does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under (a) the organizational documents of the Operating Partnership, (b) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on the Operating Partnership, or (c) any other material agreement to which the Operating Partnership is a party.

Section 3.05 VALIDITY OF OP UNITS. The issuance of the OP Units to the Contributor pursuant to this Agreement will have been duly authorized by the Operating Partnership and, when issued against the consideration therefor, will be validly issued by the Operating Partnership, free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens created by the Operating Partnership Agreement).

Section 3.06 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Operating Partnership’s knowledge, threatened against the Operating Partnership or the Existing Entities that, if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Operating Partnership and the Existing Entities, taken as a whole, or which challenges or impairs the ability of the Operating Partnership to execute or deliver, or perform its obligations under, this Agreement and the documents executed by it pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 3.07 LIMITED ACTIVITIES. Except for activities in connection with the IPO or the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership has not engaged in any material business or incurred any material obligations.

Section 3.08 KNOWLEDGE OF PROPERTIES. The Operating Partnership understands and agrees that:

(a) it is a sophisticated investor in real property who is familiar with investments similar to the Related Properties and the Contributed Interests;

(b) except as may be specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the closing documents, the Contributor has not made any representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, whether oral or written, express or implied, with respect to any of the Contributed Entities, any of the Contributed Interests, any of the Related Properties, the permitted use of any of the Related Properties, or the zoning and other laws, regulations and rules applicable thereto, or the compliance by any of the Related Properties therewith, the revenues and expenses generated by or associated with any of the Related Properties or any of the Contributed Interests, or otherwise relating to any of the Contributed Entities, any of the Related Properties, any of the Contributed Interests, or the transactions contemplated herein;

(c) except as may be specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the closing documents, the Contributed Interests are being transferred to the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership is accepting the Contributed Interests and indirect possession of the Related Properties, in each case, in their present “as is, where is” condition “with all faults”, with no right of setoff or deduction from the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value;

(d) unknown conditions may exist with respect to any of the Related Properties, the Contributed Entities, and/or the Contributed Interests, and the Operating Partnership explicitly took the possibility of such unknown conditions into account, together with the express representations and warranties contained herein, in determining and agreeing to the Contributor’s Formation Transaction Value; and

(e) it has been afforded the opportunity to make any and all inspections and due diligence of the Related Properties, the Contributed Entities, and any other matters related to the Contributed Interests as it reasonably desired and, accordingly, except as may be specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the closing documents, it is relying solely on its own due diligence and investigations in acquiring the Contributed Interests and the Related Properties.

Section 3.09 NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. Other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article III, the Operating Partnership shall not be deemed to have made any other representation or warranty in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 3.10 INDEMNIFICATION.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall indemnify and hold harmless the Contributor and its Affiliates (each, a “Contributor Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all charges, complaints, claims, actions, causes of action, losses,

damages, liabilities and expenses of any nature whatsoever, including without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation, costs of investigative judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals therefrom and costs of attachment or similar bonds (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or relating to, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any Contributor Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement or in any schedule, exhibit, certificate or affidavit or any other document delivered by the Operating Partnership pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership shall not have any obligation under this Section to indemnify any Contributor Indemnified Party against any Losses to the extent that such Losses arise by virtue of, and then only to the extent of, (i) any diminution in value of OP Units; or (ii) the Contributor’s breach of this Agreement, gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

(b) At the time when any Contributor Indemnified Party learns of any potential claim under this Section 3.10 (a “Claim”) against the Operating Partnership, it will promptly give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Operating Partnership; provided that failure to do so shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Operating Partnership shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Contributor Indemnified Party giving rise to such Claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount of Losses arising therefrom. Unless prohibited by Law, the Contributor Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Operating Partnership, promptly after the Contributor Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Contributor Indemnified Party relating to a Third Party Claim (defined below). Any Contributor Indemnified Party may, at its option, demand indemnity under this Section 3.10 as soon as a Claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether an actual Loss has been suffered, so long as the Contributor Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that the Contributor Indemnified Party may be liable for, or otherwise incur, a Loss as a result thereof.

(c) The Operating Partnership shall be entitled, at its own expense, to assume and control the defense of any Claims based on claims asserted by third parties (“Third Party Claims”), through counsel chosen by the Operating Partnership, if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Contributor Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice; provided, however, that the Contributor Indemnified Party may at all times participate in such defense at its own expense. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Operating Partnership exercises the right to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Contributor Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Operating Partnership in such defense and make available to the Operating Partnership (unless prohibited by Law), at the Operating Partnership’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Contributor Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Contributor Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Operating Partnership. No compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by either the Contributor Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or the Operating Partnership, on the other hand, without the other’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party and (ii) the Contributor Indemnified Party that is party to such claim is released from all liability with respect to such claim.

(d) All representations, warranties and covenants of the Operating Partnership contained in this Agreement shall survive until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). If written notice of a claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.10 has been given prior to the Expiration Date, then the relevant representation, warranty and covenant shall survive, but only with respect to such specific claim, until such claim has been finally resolved.

(c) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States (where such registration or qualification is required in order to sell in such jurisdiction and an exemption does not apply) as any Selling Holder or managing Underwriter, if any, reasonably (in light of such Selling Holder’s intended plan of distribution) requests and (ii) cause such Registrable Securities to be registered with or qualified by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder; provided that the Company will not be required to (A) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph (c), (B) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (C) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction.

(d) The Company will immediately notify each Selling Holder of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the Company’s receipt of any notification of the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities covered by a Resale Shelf Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction and will immediately notify each such Selling Holder of the removal or lifting of any such suspension; or (ii) the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and promptly make available to each Selling Holder any such supplement or amendment.

(e) The Company will otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its securityholders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of 12 months, beginning within three months after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Commission promulgated thereunder (or any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission).

(f) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by such Resale Shelf Registration Statement or Primary Shares covered by such Issuer Shelf Registration Statement to be listed on the primary securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed.

(g) In addition to the Notice and Questionnaire, the Company may require each Selling Holder of Registrable Securities to promptly furnish in writing to the

C-7

Company such information regarding such Selling Holder, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request and such other information as may be legally required in connection with such registration. No Holder may include Registrable Securities in any registration statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder has furnished to the Company such information.

counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) representation of the Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party. It is understood that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Indemnified Parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. In the case of any such separate firm for the Indemnified Parties, such firm shall be designated in writing by (i) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, the Selling Holders that owned a majority of the Registrable Securities sold under the applicable registration statement and (ii) in the case of Persons indemnified pursuant to Section 2.6, the Company. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, but if settled with such consent, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying Party shall indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Parties from and against any loss or liability (to the extent stated above) by reason of such settlement or judgment. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such proceeding.

Section 2.8 Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 2.5 or 2.6 hereof is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of each Selling Holder in connection with such statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of each Selling Holder on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

The Company and the Selling Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.8 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Selling Holder’s obligations to

C-10

contribute pursuant to this Section 2.8 are several in proportion to the proceeds of the offering received by such Selling Holder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all the Selling Holders, and not joint, and in no event shall any Selling Holder’s contribution obligation under this Section 2.8 exceed the net proceeds from the offering actually received by such Selling Holder.

Section 2.9 Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will (a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available as those terms are defined in Rule 144, (b) file in a timely manner any reports and documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, (c) furnish to any Holder forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time more than 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering) and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), and (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (d) take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.

Section 2.10 Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No Person may participate in any underwritten offerings hereunder unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements and the registration rights provided for in this Article II.

Section 2.11 Suspension of Use of Registration Statement.

(a) If the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment that the filing of a Resale Shelf Registration Statement under Section 2.1(a) or the use of any related prospectus would be materially detrimental to the Company because such action would require the disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or the disclosure of which would materially impede the Company’s ability to consummate a significant transaction, and that the Company is not otherwise required by applicable securities laws or regulations to disclose, upon written notice of such determination by the Company to the Holders which shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer, President or any Executive Vice President of the Company certifying thereto, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Resale Shelf Registration or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be suspended until the earliest of (i) the date upon which the Company notifies the Holders in writing that suspension of such rights for the grounds set forth in this Section 2.11(a) is no longer necessary and they may resume use of the applicable prospectus, (ii) the date upon which copies of the applicable supplemented or amended prospectus is distributed to the Holders, and (iii) (x) up to 60 consecutive days after the notice to the Holders if that notice is given during the Initial Period or (y) 90 consecutive days after the notice to the Holders if that notice is given after the Initial Period;

C-11

provided, that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any such right more than two (2) times in any twelve month period or less than 30 days from the termination of the prior such suspension period. The Company agrees to give the notice under (i) above as promptly as practicable following the date that such suspension of rights is no longer necessary.

(b) If all reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Act have not been filed by the required date without regard to any extension, or if the consummation of any business combination by the Company has occurred or is probable for purposes of Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act or any similar successor rule, upon written notice thereof by the Company to the Holders, the rights of the Holders to offer, sell or distribute any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Resale Shelf Registration Statement or to require the Company to take action with respect to the registration or sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to a Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be suspended until the date on which the Company has filed such reports or obtained and filed the financial information required by Rule 3-05 or Article 11 of Regulation S-X to be included or incorporated by reference, as applicable, in a Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and the Company shall notify the Holders as promptly as practicable when such suspension is no longer required.

Section 2.12 Additional Shares. The Company, at its option, and subject to Section 2.2 above, may register under a Shelf Registration Statement and any filings with any state securities commissions filed pursuant to this Agreement, any number of unissued shares of Common Stock or any shares of Common Stock owned by any other stockholder or stockholders of the Company.

Section 2.13 Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under Sections 2.5 through 2.8 inclusive shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and the termination of this agreement. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 3.1 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein and granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Holders shall be entitled to specific performance of the rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

Section 3.2 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, in each case without the

No failure or delay by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon any breach thereof shall constitute waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement or condition.

Section 3.3 Notices. All notices and other communications in connection with this Agreement shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class mail, fax, air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, or e-mail:

Section 3.4 Successors and Assigns; Assignment of Registration Rights. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors, assigns and transferees of each of the parties. Any Holder may assign its rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Company in connection with a transfer of such Holder’s Registrable Securities; provided, that the Holder notifies the Company of such proposed transfer and assignment and the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of such Holder under this Agreement.

Section 3.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Each party shall become bound by this Agreement immediately upon affixing its signature hereto.

Section 3.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware.

C-13

AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
OF WELSH PROPERTY TRUST, L.P.

THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF WELSH PROPERTY TRUST, L.P. (the “Partnership”), dated as of [ ], 20 (the “Agreement”), is made and entered into by and among Welsh Property Trust, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Managing General Partner”), Welsh Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Special Limited Partner”), and any additional limited partner or general partner that is admitted from time to time to the Partnership and listed on Exhibit A attached hereto.

WHEREAS, a Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership was filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 18, 2009; and

WHEREAS, the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner entered into that certain Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership dated as of December 18, 2009 (the “Original Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement, as hereinafter set forth, and to admit additional Partners (as hereinafter defined) to the Partnership; and

WHEREAS, the Partners desire to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
DEFINED TERMS

The following definitions shall be for all purposes, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary, applied to the terms used in this Agreement:

“Act” means the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, 6 Del.C. § 17-101 et. seq., as it may be amended from time to time, and any successor to such statute.

“Actions” has the meaning set forth in Section 7.7 hereof.

“Additional Funds” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.3.A hereof.

“Additional General Partner” means a Person who is admitted to the Partnership as a General Partner pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 12.1 hereof and who is shown as such on the books and records of the Partnership.

“Additional Limited Partner” means a Person who is admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 12.2 hereof and who is shown as such on the books and records of the Partnership.

“Adjusted Available Cash” means, as of any date of determination, the sum of Available Cash and REIT Available Cash.

“Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Person’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant Partnership Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

(i) decrease such deficit by any amounts that such Person is obligated to restore pursuant to this Agreement or by operation of law upon liquidation of such Partner’s Partnership Interest or that such Person is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentence of each of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and

(ii) increase such deficit by the items described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

The foregoing definition of “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” is intended to comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

“Adjustment Factor” means 1.0; provided, however, that in the event that:

(i) the Special Limited Partner (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares, (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding REIT Shares or (c) effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines its outstanding REIT Shares into a smaller number of REIT Shares, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination has occurred as of such time) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the actual number of REIT Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination;

(ii) the Special Limited Partner distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of its REIT Shares to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire REIT Shares, or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or exercisable for REIT Shares (other than REIT Shares issuable pursuant to a Qualified DRIP), at a price per share less than the Value of a REIT Share on the record date for such distribution (each a “Distributed Right”), then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date plus the maximum number of REIT Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights and (b) the denominator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date plus a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the maximum number of REIT Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights times the minimum purchase price per REIT Share under such Distributed Rights and (2) the denominator of which is the Value of a REIT Share as of the record date; provided, however, that, if any such

D-2

Distributed Rights expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted, effective retroactive to the date of distribution of the Distributed Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of REIT Shares or any change in the minimum purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction; and

(iii) the Special Limited Partner shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its REIT Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (i) above), which evidences of indebtedness or assets relate to indebtedness or assets not received by the Managing General Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership, then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in effect immediately prior to the close of business as of the record date by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be such Value of a REIT Share as of the record date and (b) the denominator of which shall be the Value of a REIT Share as of the record date less the then fair market value (as determined by the Managing General Partner, whose determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the evidences of indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one REIT Share.

Any adjustments to the Adjustment Factor shall become effective immediately after such event, retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event. For illustrative purposes, examples of adjustments to the Adjustment Factor are set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

“Affiliate” means, with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with such Person. For the purposes of this definition, “control” when used with respect to any Person means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have meanings correlative to the foregoing.

“Affiliated REIT” means the Special Limited Partner and any Affiliate of the Special Limited Partner that has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code.

“Agreement” means this Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Welsh Property Trust, L.P., as now or hereafter amended, restated, modified, supplemented or replaced.

“Applicable Percentage” has the meaning set forth in Section 15.1.B hereof.

“Appraisal” means, with respect to any assets, the written opinion of an independent third party experienced in the valuation of similar assets, selected by the Managing General Partner in good faith. Such opinion may be in the form of an opinion by such independent third party that the value for such property or asset as set by the Managing General Partner is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Partnership.

“Assignee” means a Person to whom one or more Partnership Common Units have been Transferred in a manner permitted under this Agreement, but who has not become a Substituted Limited Partner, and who has the rights set forth in Section 11.5 hereof.

(i) the sum, without duplication, of:

(3) the amount of any reduction in reserves of the Partnership referred to in clause (ii)(6) below (including, without limitation, reductions resulting because the Managing General Partner determines such amounts are no longer necessary),

(4) the excess, if any, of the net cash proceeds from the sale, exchange, disposition, financing or refinancing of Partnership property for such period over the gain (or loss, as the case may be) recognized from such sale, exchange, disposition, financing or refinancing during such period (excluding Terminating Capital Transactions), and

(5) all other cash received (including amounts previously accrued as Net Income and amounts of deferred income) or any net amounts borrowed by the Partnership for such period that was not included in determining Net Income or Net Loss for such period;

D-4

(8) the amount of any working capital accounts and other cash or similar balances which the Managing General Partner determines to be necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Available Cash shall not include (a) any cash received or reductions in reserves, or take into account any disbursements made, or reserves established, after dissolution and the commencement of the liquidation and winding up of the Partnership or (b) any Capital Contributions, whenever received or any payments, expenditures or investments made with such Capital Contributions.

The “Closing Price” on any date means the last sale price for such REIT Shares, regular way, or, in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, for such REIT Shares, in either case as reported in the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if such REIT Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, as reported on the principal consolidated transaction reporting system with respect to securities listed on the principal national securities exchange on which such REIT Shares are listed or admitted to trading or, if such REIT Shares are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the last quoted price, or, if not so quoted, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the over-the-counter market, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board or, if such system is no longer in use, the principal other automated quotation system that may then be in use or, if such REIT Shares are not quoted by any such organization, the average of the closing bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such REIT Shares selected by the Board of Directors of the Special Limited Partner or, in the event that no trading price is available for such REIT Shares, the fair market value of the REIT Shares, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Special Limited Partner.

In the event that the REIT Shares Amount includes Rights that a holder of REIT Shares would be entitled to receive, then the Value of such Rights shall be determined by the Special Limited Partner acting in good faith on the basis of such quotations and other information as it considers, in its reasonable judgment, appropriate.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Managing General Partner shall have authority to specify: (a) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (b) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share (on a pari passu, junior or preferred basis) in Partnership distributions; (c) the rights of each such

Section 4.3 Additional Funds and Capital Contributions.

A. General. The Managing General Partner may, at any time and from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Properties, for the redemption of Partnership Units or for such other purposes as the Managing General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion. Additional Funds may be obtained by the Partnership, at the election of the Managing General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3 without the approval of any Limited Partner.

B. Additional Capital Contributions. The Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by accepting Capital Contributions from any Partners or other Persons. In connection with any such Capital Contribution (of cash or property), the Managing General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to issue additional Partnership Units (as set forth in Section 4.2 above) in consideration therefor and the Percentage Interests of the General Partners and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units.

D-25

C. Loans by Third Parties. The Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt to any Person (other than the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner) upon such terms as the Managing General Partner determines appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable or exchangeable for Partnership Units; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if any Partner would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Partner otherwise agrees).

D. General Partner and Special Limited Partner Loans. The Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership to incur Debt to the Managing General Partner and/or the Special Limited Partner (each, a “General Partner Loan”) if (i) such Debt is, to the extent permitted by law, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including interest rate, repayment schedule, and conversion, redemption, repurchase and exchange rights) as Funding Debt incurred by the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, as applicable, the net proceeds of which are loaned to the Partnership to provide such Additional Funds, or (ii) such Debt is on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership than would be available to the Partnership from any third party; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if any Partner would be personally liable for the repayment of such Debt (unless such Partner otherwise agrees).

E. Issuance of Securities by the Special Limited Partner. The Special Limited Partner shall not issue any additional REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities unless the Special Limited Partner contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance of such additional REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (as the case may be) and from the exercise of the rights contained in any such additional New Securities to the Partnership in exchange for (x) in the case of an issuance of REIT Shares, Partnership Common Units, or (y) in the case of an issuance of Capital Shares or New Securities, Partnership Units with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and provisions that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other rights, terms and provisions of such Capital Shares or New Securities; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Special Limited Partner may issue REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (a) pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 15.1.B hereof, (b) pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities to all of the holders of REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities (as the case may be), (c) upon a conversion, redemption or exchange of Capital Shares, (d) upon a conversion, redemption, exchange or exercise of New Securities, or (e) pursuant to share grants or awards made pursuant to any equity incentive plan of the Special Limited Partner. In the event of any issuance of additional REIT Shares, Capital Shares or New Securities by the Special Limited Partner, and the contribution to the Partnership, by the Special Limited Partner, of the cash proceeds or other consideration received from such issuance, if the cash proceeds actually received by the Special Limited Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the cash proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such underwriter’s discount and other expenses paid by the Special Limited Partner (which discount and expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section 7.4).

D-26

Section 4.4 Dividend Reinvestment Plan, Stock Incentive Plan or Other Plan. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner from adopting, modifying or terminating stock incentive plans for the benefit of employees, directors or other business associates of the Managing General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates. The Partners acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted, modified or terminated by the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, amendments to this Section 4.4 may become necessary or advisable and that any approval or Consent to any such amendments requested by the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner shall be deemed granted by the Limited Partners. Except as may otherwise be provided in this Article 4, all amounts received by the Special Limited Partner in respect of any dividend reinvestment plan, stock incentive or other stock or subscription plan or agreement, either (a) shall be utilized by the Special Limited Partner to effect open market purchases of REIT Shares, or (b) if the Special Limited Partner elects instead to issue new REIT Shares with respect to such amounts, shall be contributed by the Special Limited Partner to the Partnership in exchange for additional Partnership Common Units. Upon such contribution, the Partnership will issue to the Special Limited Partner a number of Partnership Common Units equal in value to the product of (i) the Value as of the date of issuance of each REIT Share so issued by the Special Limited Partner multiplied by (ii) the number of REIT Shares so issued.

Section 4.5 No Interest; No Return. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account. Except as provided herein or by law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership.

Section 4.6 Conversion or Redemption of Capital Shares.

A. Conversion of Capital Shares. If, at any time, any of the Capital Shares are converted into REIT Shares, in whole or in part, then a number of Partnership Units with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and provisions that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other rights, terms and provisions of such Capital Shares (“Partnership Equivalent Units”) equal to the number of Capital Shares so converted shall automatically be converted into a number of Partnership Common Units equal to (i) the number of REIT Shares issued upon such conversion divided by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, and the Percentage Interests of the General Partners and the Limited Partners (including the Special Limited Partner) shall be adjusted to reflect such conversion.

B. Redemption of Capital Shares. If, at any time, any Capital Shares or REIT Shares are redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the Special Limited Partner for cash, the Partnership shall, immediately prior to such redemption of Capital Shares, redeem an equal number of Partnership Equivalent Units held by the Special Limited Partner upon the same terms and for the same price per Partnership Equivalent Unit as such Capital Shares are redeemed.

Section 4.7 Other Contribution Provisions. In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the

D-27

Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash and such Partner had contributed the cash that the Partner would have received to the capital of the Partnership. In addition, with the consent of the Managing General Partner, one or more Partners (including the Special Limited Partner) may enter into contribution agreements with the Partnership which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership.

Subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, the Managing General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute quarterly all, or such portion as the Managing General Partner may in its sole and absolute discretion determine, of Available Cash generated by the Partnership during such quarter to the Holders on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter: (i) first, with respect to any Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of such class(es) of Partnership Units (and, within such class(es), among the Holders pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date); and (ii) second, with respect to any Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the rights of such class of Partnership Units, as applicable (and, within such class, among the Holders pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date). Distributions payable with respect to any Partnership Units that were not outstanding during the entire quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made shall be prorated based on the portion of the period that such Partnership Units were outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Managing General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may distribute Available Cash to the Holders on a more or less frequent basis than quarterly and provide for an appropriate Partnership Record Date. The Managing General Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the Special Limited Partner’s qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the Special Limited Partner, for so long as the Special Limited Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to make distributions that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”) and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the Special Limited Partner, eliminate any Federal income or excise tax liability of the Special Limited Partner.

Subject to the applicable Partner Unit Designation, each Limited Partner shall receive a pro rata share of Distributions under this Article 5 in an amount equal to the distributions such Limited Partner would have received if such Limited Partner held one REIT Share or one Capital Share (bearing, in each case, the same designations as the actual Partnership Unit held by such Limited Partner) for each of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Unit.

Section 5.2 Distributions in Kind. No right is given to any Holder to demand and receive property other than cash as provided in this Agreement. The Managing General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in kind of Partnership assets to the Holders, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 10 hereof; provided, however, that the Managing General Partner shall not make a distribution in kind to

D-28

any Holder unless the Holder has been given ninety (90) days prior written notice of such distribution.

Section 5.3 Amounts Withheld. All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 10.4 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to any Holder shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such Holder pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof for all purposes under this Agreement.

Section 5.4 Distributions Upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 5, net proceeds from a Terminating Capital Transaction, and any other cash received or reductions in reserves made after commencement of the liquidation of the Partnership, shall be distributed to the Holders in accordance with Section 13.2 hereof.

Section 5.5 Distributions to Reflect Additional Partnership Units. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Units pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, the Managing General Partner is hereby authorized to make such revisions to this Article 5 as it determines are necessary or desirable to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units, including, without limitation, making preferential distributions to certain classes of Partnership Units.

Section 5.6 Restricted Distributions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Partnership nor the Managing General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall make a distribution to any Holder if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Act or other applicable law.

ARTICLE 6
ALLOCATIONS

Section 6.1 Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss. Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Partnership Year of the Partnership as of the end of each such year, provided that the Managing General Partner may in its discretion allocate Net Income and Net Loss for a shorter period as of the end of such period. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, and subject to Section 11.6.C hereof, an allocation to a Holder of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.

Section 6.2 General Allocations. Subject to Section 6.3 and Section 11.6.C hereof, Net Income and Net Loss shall be allocated to each of the Holders as follows:

A. Net Income. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Income for any Partnership Year or other applicable period shall be allocated in the following order and priority:

(i) First, to the holders of any Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution in accordance with the rights of any other class of Partnership Units until each such Partnership Unit has been allocated, on a cumulative basis pursuant to this subparagraph (A)(i), Net Income equal to (x) the amount of distributions received which are attributable to the preference of such class of Partnership Unit (and, within

D-29

such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is made); and (y) the cumulative Net Loss allocated to such Partners under subparagraph (B)(ii);

(ii) Second, with respect to Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution or with respect to which distributions are not limited to any preference in distribution, pro rata to each such class in accordance with the terms of such class (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made).

B. Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Loss for any Partnership Year or other applicable period shall be allocated in the following order and priority:

(i) First, with respect to classes of Partnership Units that are not entitled to any preference in distribution or with respect to which distributions are not limited to any preference in distribution, pro rata to each such class in accordance with the terms of such class (and within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made); provided that Net Loss shall not be allocated to any Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (B)(i) to the extent that such allocation would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (determined in each case by not including in the Partners’ Adjusted Capital Accounts any amount that a Partner who also holds classes of Partnership Units that are entitled to any preferences in distribution upon liquidation, would be entitled to as Holders of Partnership Units entitled to a distribution preference) in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests at the end of each Partnership Year;

(ii) Second, with respect to classes of Partnership Units that are entitled to any preference in distribution upon liquidation, in reverse order of the priorities of each such class (and within each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests) as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made; provided that Net Loss shall not be allocated to any Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (B)(ii) to the extent that such allocation would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit).

For purposes of this Section 6.2, the Percentage Interests of the Holders of Partnership Common Units shall be calculated based on a denominator equal to the aggregate Partnership Common Units outstanding as of the date of determination.

It is intended that the provisions of this Article 6 satisfy the requirements of Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder, and the Managing General Partner is authorized to make adjustments to the allocation provisions set forth above to the extent the Managing General Partner determines such adjustments to be necessary or appropriate to comply with Section 704(b) of the Code and the Regulations thereunder (including to cause Capital Accounts attributable to Partnership Common Units to be in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests); provided, however, that in no event shall this sentence permit the Managing General Partner to adjust the timing or amount of any distributions to the Partners.

D-30

Section 6.3 Additional Allocation Provisions. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6:

A. Special Allocations Regarding Partnership Preferred Units. If any Partnership Preferred Units are redeemed pursuant to Section 4.6.B hereof (treating a full liquidation of the Managing General Partner’s General Partner Interest or of such Special Limited Partner’s Limited Partner Interest for purposes of this Section 6.3.A as including a redemption of any then outstanding Partnership Preferred Units pursuant to Section 4.6.B hereof), for the Partnership Year that includes such redemption (and, if necessary, for subsequent Partnership Years) (a) gross income and gain (in such relative proportions as the Managing General Partner in its discretion shall determine) shall be allocated to the holder(s) of such Partnership Preferred Units to the extent that the Redemption Amounts paid or payable with respect to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) exceeds the aggregate Capital Account Balances (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to by the Partnership) per Partnership Preferred Unit allocable to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) and (b) deductions and losses (in such relative proportions as the Managing General Partner in its discretion shall determine) shall be allocated to the holder(s) of such Partnership Preferred Units to the extent that the aggregate Capital Account Balances (net of liabilities assumed or taken subject to by the Partnership) per Partnership Preferred Unit allocable to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed) exceeds the Redemption Amount paid or payable with respect to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed).

B. Regulatory Allocations.

(i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, or any other provision of this Article 6, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership Year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.B(i) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(ii) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) or in Section 6.3.B(i) hereof, if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s respective share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the

D-31

respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.B(ii) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

(iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.B(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.B(iv) were not in the Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3.B(iv) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(v) Gross Income Allocation. In the event that any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) that such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership upon complete liquidation of such Holder’s Partnership Interest (including, the Holder’s interest in outstanding Partnership Preferred Units and other Partnership Units) and (2) the amount that such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess to eliminate such deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.B(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.B(v) and Section 6.3.B(iv) hereof were not in the Agreement.

(vi) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent that any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section 6.3.B(vi); provided that in the event such allocation would result in all Partners

D-32

having an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit such Net Loss shall be allocated to the General Partner.

(vii) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent that an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2) (iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder of Partnership Units in complete liquidation of its interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holder(s) to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

(viii) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3.B(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders of Partnership Units so that to the extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder of a Partnership Unit shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

C. Special Allocations Upon Liquidation. Notwithstanding any provision in this Article 6 to the contrary, in the event that the Partnership disposes of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction that will lead to a liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Article 13 hereof, then any Net Income or Net Loss realized in connection with such transaction and thereafter (and, if necessary, constituent items of income, gain, loss and deduction) shall be specially allocated for such Partnership Year (and to the extent permitted by Section 761(c) of the Code, for the immediately preceding Partnership Year) among the Holders as required so as to cause liquidating distributions pursuant to Section 13.2.A(4) hereof to be made in the same amounts and proportions as would have resulted had such distributions instead been made pursuant to Article 5 hereof.

D. Allocation of Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. The Partnership shall allocate “nonrecourse liabilities” (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(2) of the Partnership that are secured by Multiple Properties under any reasonable method chosen by the Managing General Partner and approved under Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(5). The Partnership shall allocate “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3); profits shall be allocated using a method chosen by the Managing General Partner and approved under such Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3).

D-33

E. The Partnership shall allocate “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership under any method approved under the Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) as chosen by the Managing General Partner.

Section 6.4 Tax Allocations.

A. In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each Partnership item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof.

B. Section 704(c) Allocations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A hereof, Tax Items with respect to Property that is contributed to the Partnership with a Gross Asset Value that varies from its basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Code Section 704(c) so as to take into account such variation. The Partnership shall account for such variation under any method approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by the Managing General Partner. In the event that the Gross Asset Value of any partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article 1 hereof), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations and using the method chosen by the Managing General Partner.

(7) to effectuate or otherwise reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.2; and

The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person. It is expressly acknowledged and agreed by each Partner that the Special Limited Partner may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing

Section 7.7 Indemnification.

A. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership (“Actions”) as set forth in this Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise; provided, however, that the Partnership shall not indemnify an Indemnitee (i) if the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful; or (iii) for any transaction for which such Indemnitee received an improper personal benefit in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement; and provided, further, that (x) no payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be made by the Partnership to indemnify or advance funds to any Indemnitee with respect to any Action initiated or brought voluntarily by such Indemnitee (and not by way of defense) unless (I) approved or authorized by the Managing General Partner or (II) incurred to establish or enforce such Indemnitee’s right to indemnification under this Agreement, and (y) the Partnership shall not be liable for any expenses incurred by an

D-42

Indemnitee in connection with one or more Actions or claims brought by the Partnership or involving such Indemnitee if such Indemnitee is found liable to the Partnership on any portion of any claim in any such Action.

Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any Debt of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any Debt which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to, and the Managing General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such Debt. It is the intention of this Section 7.7.A that the Partnership indemnify each Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the Managing General Partner nor any other Holder shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7.

B. To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership as incurred by the Indemnitee in advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in Section 7.7A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Managing General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

D-43

E. Any liabilities which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this Section 7.7, unless such liabilities arise as a result of (i) an act or omission of such Indemnitee that was material to the matter giving rise to the Action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, an act or omission that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe was unlawful, or (iii) any transaction in which such Indemnitee received a personal benefit in violation or breach of any provision of this Agreement or applicable law.

F. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Holders to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

I. It is the intent of the parties that any amounts paid by the Partnership to the Managing General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c).

Section 7.8 Liability of the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner.

A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the Managing General Partner (nor the Special Limited Partner as the managing member of the Managing General Partner) nor any of their respective directors, managers or officers shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners, or any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the Managing General Partner, the Special Limited Partner or such director, manager or officer acted in good faith.

C. Subject to its obligations and duties as Managing General Partner set forth in Section 7.1.A hereof, the Managing General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its employees or agents or through the Special Limited Partner (subject to the supervision and control of the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner). The Managing General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.

D. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Managing General Partner’s, the Special Limited Partner’s and their respective officers’, managers’ and directors’ liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.

E. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any express indemnities given to the Partnership by any Partner pursuant to any other written instrument, no Partner shall have any personal liability whatsoever, to the Partnership or to the other Partners, for the Debts or liabilities of the Partnership or the Partnership’s obligations hereunder, and the full recourse of the other Partner(s) shall be limited to the interest of that Partner in the Partnership. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no officer, director, manager, member or stockholder of the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership for money damages except for (i) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a non-appealable final judgment or (ii) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services. Without limitation of the foregoing, and except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any such express indemnity, no property or assets of any Partner, other than its interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) in favor of any other Partner(s) and arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement. This Agreement is executed by the officers of the Managing General Partner or of the Special Limited Partner as managing member of the Managing General Partner, solely as officers of the same and not in their own individual capacities.

D-45

F. To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner as the managing member of the Managing General Partner has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Limited Partners, neither the Managing General Partner nor the Special Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership or to any other Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, as the managing member of the Managing General Partner.

G. Whenever in this Agreement the Managing General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Managing General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest or factors affecting the Partnership or the Partners or any of them, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another expressed standard, the Managing General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated herein or by relevant provisions of law or in equity or otherwise.

The Managing General Partner’s “sole discretion” and “discretion” under this Agreement shall be exercised in good faith.

Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner.

A. The Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

B. The Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters that the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

D. At the request of any Limited Partner, the Managing General Partner shall provide access to the books, records and work papers upon which the reports required by this Section 9.3 are based, to the extent required by the Act.

ARTICLE 10
TAX MATTERS

Section 10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns. The Managing General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect to Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership for Federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within ninety (90) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Limited Partners and for Federal and state income tax and any other tax reporting purposes. The Limited Partners shall promptly provide the Managing General Partner with such information relating to the Contributed Properties as is readily available to the Limited Partners, including tax basis and other relevant information, as may be reasonably requested by the Managing General Partner from time to time.

Section 10.2 Tax Elections. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Managing General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code, including, but not limited to, the election under Code Section 754 and the election to use the “recurring item” method of accounting provided under Code Section 461(h) with respect to property taxes imposed on the Partnership’s Properties; provided, however, that, if the “recurring item” method of accounting is elected with respect to such property taxes, the Partnership shall pay the applicable property taxes prior to the date provided in Code Section 461(h) for purposes of determining economic performance. The Managing General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, any election under Code Sections 461(h) and 754) upon the Managing General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners.

Section 10.3 Tax Matters Partner.

A. The Managing General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for Federal income tax purposes. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third-party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership in addition to any reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder.

D-51

B. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

(1) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner (as the case may be) or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Code Section 6231) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Code Section 6223(b)(2));

(2) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the United States Tax Court or the United States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located;

(3) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment;

(4) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request;

(5) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax that is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and

(6) to take any other action on behalf of the Partners or any of them in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the Managing General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 hereof shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such.

Section 10.4 Withholding. Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of Federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the Managing General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required to be

D-52

withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Code Section 1441, Code Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within thirty (30) days after the affected Limited Partner receives written notice from the Managing General Partner that such payment must be made, provided that the Limited Partner shall not be required to repay such deemed loan if either (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the Managing General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the Available Cash of the Partnership that would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner. Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., thirty (30) days after the Limited Partner receives written notice of such amount) until such amount is paid in full.

Section 10.5 Organizational Expenses. The Managing General Partner may cause the Partnership to elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a 180-month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

ARTICLE 11
PARTNER TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

Section 11.1 Transfer.

A. No part of the interest of a Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement.

B. No Partnership Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void ab initio.

C. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Article 11 (other than Section 11.6.D hereof), the respective Partnership Interests of the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner may be Transferred, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, to or among the Managing General Partner, the Special Limited Partner, and any other Person that is, at the time of such Transfer, an Affiliate of the Special Limited Partner, including any “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)). Any transferee of the entire General Partner Interest of the Managing General Partner pursuant to this Section 11.1.C shall, upon compliance with Section 12.1.A hereof, become, without further action or Consent of any Partners, the sole Managing General Partner of the Partnership, subject to all the rights, privileges, duties and obligations under this Agreement and the Act relating to a Managing General Partner. Any transferee of the entire Limited Partner Interest of the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.1.C shall, upon its execution of a counterpart of this

D-53

Agreement, become, without further action or Consent of any Partner, a Substituted Limited Partner (as the Special Limited Partner). Upon any Transfer of the Managing General Partner’s entire General Partner Interest (other than a pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or mortgage) permitted by this Section 11.1.C, the transferor Partner shall be relieved of all its obligations under this Agreement from and after the date of such Transfer. The provisions of Sections 11.2.B, 11.3, 11.4.A and 11.5 hereof shall not apply to any Transfer permitted by this Section 11.1.C.

D. No Transfer of any Partnership Interest may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, without the consent of the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that as a condition to such consent, the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the Managing General Partner to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held by such lender simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a Partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code (provided that for purpose of calculating the REIT Shares Amount in this Section 11.1.D, “Tendered Units” shall mean all such Partnership Units in which a security interest is held by such lender).

Section 11.2 Transfer of Managing General Partner’s General Partnership Interest.

A. The Managing General Partner may not Transfer any of its General Partner Interest or withdraw from the Partnership, except as provided in Sections 11.1.C, 11.2.B and 11.2.C hereof. The term “Transfer”, when used in this Section 11.2 with respect to the General Partner Interest, shall be deemed to include a Transfer of the General Partner Interest resulting from any merger, consolidation or other combination by the Special Limited Partner with or into another Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Special Limited Partner), the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Special Limited Partner and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of the outstanding equity interests of the Special Limited Partner, but shall exclude the transactions described in Section 11.3.B hereof.

B. Except as provided in Section 11.1.C, this Section 11.2.B and Section 11.2.C hereof, the Managing General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not Transfer all of its interest in the Partnership (whether by sale, disposition, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) without the Consent of the Limited Partners. Upon any Transfer of such a Partnership Interest pursuant to the Consent of the Limited Partners and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2.B, the transferee shall become a successor Managing General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor Managing General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the Managing General Partner, once such transferee has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so acquired. It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor Managing General Partner under this Agreement with respect to

D-54

such Transferred Partnership Interest, and such Transfer shall relieve the transferor Managing General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners. In the event that the Managing General Partner withdraws from the Partnership in violation of this Agreement or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the bankruptcy of the Managing General Partner, a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners may elect to continue the Partnership business by selecting a successor Managing General Partner in accordance with Section 13.1.A hereof.

C. The Managing General Partner may, with the Consent of the Limited Partners, merge with another entity if immediately after such merger substantially all the assets of the surviving entity, other than the General Partner Interest held by the Managing General Partner, are contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for Partnership Units.

D. No Additional General Partner shall Transfer any of its General Partner Interest or withdraw from the Partnership, except with the consent of the Managing General Partner.

Section 11.3 Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer.

A. General. Prior to the end of the Twelve-Month Period and except as provided in Section 11.1.C hereof, no Limited Partner shall Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any transferee without the consent of the Managing General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that, except as provided in Sections 11.1.D, 11.3.D and 11.6.D, any Limited Partner may, at any time, without the consent of the Managing General Partner, (i) Transfer all or part of its Partnership Interest to any Family Member, any Charity, any Controlled Entity or any Affiliate or (ii) pledge (a “Pledge”) all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to a lending institution as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit, and Transfer such pledged Partnership Interest to such lending institution in connection with the exercise of remedies under such loan or extension of credit (any Transfer or Pledge permitted by this proviso is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Transfer”). After such Twelve-Month Period, and subject to Sections 11.3.D and 11.6.D, each Limited Partner, and each transferee of Partnership Units or Assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any Person, without the consent of the Managing General Partner and subject to the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof and to satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

(1) Special Limited Partner Right of First Refusal. The Transferring Limited Partner (or the Limited Partner’s estate in the event of the Limited Partner’s death) shall give written notice of the proposed Transfer to the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, which notice shall state (i) the identity and address of the proposed transferee and (ii) the amount and type of consideration proposed to be received for the Transferred Partnership Units. The Special Limited Partner shall have ten (10) Business Days upon which to give the Transferring Limited Partner notice of its election to acquire the Partnership Units on the terms set forth in such notice. If it so elects, it shall purchase the Partnership Units on such terms within ten (10) Business Days after giving notice of such election; provided, however, that in the event that the proposed terms involve a purchase for cash, the Special Limited Partner may at its election deliver in lieu of all or any portion of such cash a note from the Special Limited Partner payable

D-55

to the Transferring Limited Partner at a date as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than one hundred eighty (180) days after such purchase, and bearing interest at an annual rate equal to the total dividends declared with respect to one (1) REIT Share for the four (4) preceding fiscal quarters of the Special Limited Partner, divided by the Value as of the closing of such purchase; and provided, further, that such closing may be deferred to the extent necessary to effect compliance with the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, if applicable, and any other applicable requirements of law. If it does not so elect, the Transferring Limited Partner may Transfer such Partnership Units to a third party, on terms no more favorable to the transferee than the proposed terms, subject to the other conditions of this Section 11.3.

(2) Qualified Transferee. Any Transfer of a Partnership Interest shall be made only to a single Qualified Transferee; provided, however, that, for such purposes, all Qualified Transferees that are Affiliates, or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates, shall be considered together to be a single Qualified Transferee; and provided, further, that each Transfer meeting the minimum Transfer restriction of Section 11.3.A(4) hereof may be to a separate Qualified Transferee.

(3) Opinion of Counsel. The Transferring Limited Partner shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Managing General Partner an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate the registration provisions of the Securities Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder or violate any state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Interests Transferred; provided, however, that the Managing General Partner may, in its sole discretion, waive this condition upon the request of the Transferring Limited Partner. If, in the opinion of such counsel, such Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act by the Partnership or the Special Limited Partner or would otherwise violate any Federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership, the Special Limited Partner or the Partnership Units, the Managing General Partner may prohibit any Transfer otherwise permitted under this Section 11.3 by a Limited Partner of Partnership Interests.

(4) Minimum Transfer Restriction. Any Transferring Limited Partner must Transfer not less than the lesser of (i) five hundred (500) Partnership Units or (ii) all of the remaining Partnership Units owned by such Transferring Limited Partner, unless, in each case, otherwise agreed to by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that, for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing restriction, all Partnership Units owned by Affiliates of a Limited Partner shall be considered to be owned by such Limited Partner.

(5) No Further Transfers. The transferee shall not be permitted to effect any further Transfer of the Partnership Units, other than to the Special Limited Partner.

(6) Exception for Permitted Transfers. The conditions of Sections 11.3.A(1) through 11.3.A(5) hereof shall not apply in the case of a Permitted Transfer.

D-56

It is a condition to any Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder (whether or not such Transfer is effected during or after the Twelve-Month Period) that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred Partnership Interest, and no such Transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the Transferring Limited Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the Transferring Limited Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the Managing General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to the Ownership Limit. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the Transferring Limited Partner hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5 hereof.

B. Certain Transactions of the Special Limited Partner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Limited Partner may merge, consolidate or otherwise combine its assets with another entity, sell all or substantially all of its assets or reclassify, recapitalize or change its outstanding equity interests if:

(i) in connection with such merger, consolidation, combination, sale, reclassification, recapitalization or change, all of the Limited Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner) will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities or other property equal in value to the product of the Adjustment Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of one REIT Share pursuant to the terms of such merger, consolidation or combination; provided, that if, in connection with such merger, consolidation, combination, sale, reclassification, recapitalization or change, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of Partnership Units (other than the Special Limited Partner) shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property which such holder of Partnership Units would have received had it exercised its right to Redemption pursuant to Article 15 hereof and received REIT Shares in exchange for its Partnership Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer and then such merger, consolidation or combination shall have been consummated; or

(ii) the following conditions are met: (w) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity, other than the Partnership Units held by the Special Limited Partner, are owned directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving Partnership”); (x) the holders of Partnership Units own a percentage interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the Partnership and the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (y) the rights, preferences and privileges of such

D-57

holders in the Surviving Partnership are at least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership; and (z) the rights of the Limited Partners include at least one of the following: (a) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership for the consideration available to such persons pursuant to Section 11.3.B(i) or (b) the right to redeem their Partnership Units for cash on terms equivalent to those in effect with respect to their Partnership Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or, if the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the REIT Shares.

C. Incapacity. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to Transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

D. Adverse Tax Consequences. No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Interests (including any Redemption, any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Managing General Partner or any acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) may be made to or by any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would (A) result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation or would result in a termination of the Partnership under Code Section 708 or (B) adversely affect the ability of the Special Limited Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the Special Limited Partner to any additional taxes under Sections 857 or 4987 of the Code or (ii) such Transfer would be effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704.

Section 11.4 Substituted Limited Partners.

A. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee (including any transferees pursuant to Transfers permitted by Section 11.3 hereof) as a Limited Partner in its place. A transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner may be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner only with the consent of the Managing General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The failure or refusal by the Managing General Partner to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or the Managing General Partner. Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner until and unless it furnishes to the Managing General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the Managing General Partner, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this Agreement, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such Assignee and (iii) such other documents and instruments as may be required or advisable, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing General Partner, to effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Limited Partner.

D-58

B. Concurrently with, and as evidence of, the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the Managing General Partner shall amend Exhibit A and the books and records of the Partnership to reflect the name, address and number of Partnership Units of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and number of Partnership Units of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.

C. 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.

Section 11.5 Assignees. If the Managing General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.3 hereof as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4 hereof, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Partnership Units provided in this Article 11, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement (other than as expressly provided in Section 15.1 hereof with respect to a Qualifying Party that becomes a Tendering Party), and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote with respect to such Partnership Units on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such right to Consent or vote, to the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with the transferor Limited Partner). In the event that any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

Section 11.6 General Provisions.

A. No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Article 11, with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted Limited Partner, or pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited Partner) of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to a Redemption under Section 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation.

B. Any Limited Partner who shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer (i) permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its rights to effect a redemption of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to a Redemption under Section 15.1 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation or (iii) to the Special Limited Partner, whether or not pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

C. If any Partnership Unit is Transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, or is redeemed by the Partnership, or acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1 hereof, on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction

D-59

and credit attributable to such Partnership Unit for such Partnership Year shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a Redemption, to the transferee Partner, by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the Managing General Partner. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer occurs shall be allocated to the transferee Partner and none of such items for the calendar month in which a Transfer or a Redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Partner, or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) if such Transfer occurs on or before the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, otherwise such items shall be allocated to the transferor. All distributions of Available Cash attributable to such Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment or Redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner or the Tendering Party (as the case may be) and, in the case of a Transfer other than a Redemption, all distributions of Available Cash thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee Partner.

D. In addition to any other restrictions on Transfer herein contained, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including any Redemption, any acquisition of Partnership Units by the Special Limited Partner or any other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) be made: (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) in the event that such Transfer would cause either the Special Limited Partner or any Special Limited Partner Affiliate to cease to comply with the REIT Requirements or to cease to qualify as a “qualified REIT subsidiary” (within the meaning of Code Section 856(i)(2)); (v) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited Partner) of all Partnership Common Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited Partner) of all Partnership Common Units held by all Limited Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner)); (vii) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Code Section 4975(c)); (viii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.3-101; (ix) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable Federal or state securities laws; (x) if such Transfer causes the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Code Section 469(k)(2) or Code 7704(b); (xi) if such Transfer causes the Partnership (as opposed to the Special Limited Partner or the Managing General Partner) to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act; or (xii) if such Transfer subjects the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended. The Managing General Partner

D-60

shall take all action necessary to avoid the Partnership from being classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under Code Section 7704.

E. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the Managing General Partner otherwise agrees.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the Managing General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the Managing General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the Partnership, following the consent of the Managing General Partner to such admission and the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 12.2.A.

C. If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among Holders for such Partnership Year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Holders by taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible method selected by the Managing General Partner. Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Holders including such Additional Limited Partner, in accordance with the principles described in Section 11.6.C hereof. All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.

D. Any Additional Limited Partner admitted to the Partnership that is an Affiliate of the Managing General Partner shall be deemed to be a “Special Limited Partner Affiliate” hereunder and shall be reflected as such on Exhibit A and the books and records of the Partnership.

Section 12.3 Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership. For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the Managing General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (including an amendment of Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

Section 12.4 Limit on Number of Partners. Unless otherwise permitted by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, no Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner if the effect of such admission would be to cause the Partnership to have a number of Partners that would cause the Partnership to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

Section 12.5 Admission. A Person shall be admitted to the Partnership as a Limited Partner of the Partnership or a General Partner of the Partnership only xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx,

X-00

and not upon substantial compliance, with the requirements set forth in this Agreement for admission to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner or an Additional General Partner.

ARTICLE 13
DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

Section 13.1 Dissolution. The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor Managing General Partner or an Additional General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the Managing General Partner, any successor Managing General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership without dissolution. However, the Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):

A. an event of withdrawal, as defined in the Act (including, without limitation, bankruptcy), of the last remaining Managing General Partner unless, within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal, a Majority in Interest of the Partners remaining agree in writing, in their sole and absolute discretion, to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a successor Managing General Partner;

B. an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without the Consent of the Partners;

C. entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

D. any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership other than in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s business or a related series of transactions that, taken together, result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership other than in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s business;

E. the Redemption (or acquisition by the Special Limited Partner) of all Partnership Units other than Partnership Units held by the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner.

Section 13.2 Winding Up.

A. Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors and the Holders. After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, no Holder shall take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The Managing General Partner (or, in the event that there is no remaining Managing General Partner or the Managing General Partner has dissolved, become bankrupt within the meaning of the Act or ceased to operate, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of the Partners remaining (the Managing General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property, and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly

D-63

as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the Managing General Partner, include REIT Shares or Capital Shares) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

(1) First, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s Debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Holders (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

(2) Second, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s Debts and liabilities to the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof), including, but not limited to, amounts due as reimbursements under Section 7.4 hereof;

(3) Third, to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s Debts and liabilities to the other Holders (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

(4) Fourth, the balance, if any, to the Holders in accordance with and in proportion to their positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods; provided, however, that it is the intent of the Partners that liquidating distributions shall be made in the same manner as distributions would be made under Section 5.1, and accordingly, to the extent that distributions under Section 13.2.A(4) would result in different distributions than had all liquidating distributions been made under Section 5.1, the Capital Accounts of the partners shall be adjusted (including through allocations, or if necessary, credits or debits to Capital Accounts) prior to the liquidating distributions being made to the extent necessary to cause distributions made to each Partner under Section 13.2.A(4) to be the same as the distributions that would have been made to such Partner had liquidating distributions been made in accordance with Section 5.1.

The Managing General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article 13.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership, the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Holders, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Holders as creditors) and/or distribute to the Holders, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Holders, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator

D-64

shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

C. In the event that the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article 13 to the Holders that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the extent of, and in proportion to, positive Capital Account balances, but distributions under this clause (b) shall be subject to the proviso set forth above in Section 13.2.A(4). If any Holder (other than the General Partner) has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Holder shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a Debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. In the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing General Partner or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Holders pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

(1) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the Managing General Partner and the Holders for the purpose of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the Managing General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership and/or Partnership activities. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the Holders, from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Managing General Partner, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been distributed to the Holders pursuant to this Agreement; or

(2) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the Holders in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2.A hereof as soon as practicable.

Section 13.3 Deemed Contribution and Distribution. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event that the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s Property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for Federal income tax purposes the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership; and immediately thereafter, distributed Partnership Units to the Partners in the new partnership in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts in liquidation of the Partnership, and the new partnership is deemed to continue the business of the Partnership. Nothing in this Section 13.3 shall be deemed to have constituted any Assignee as a Substituted Limited Partner without compliance with the provisions of Section 11.4 or Section 13.3 hereof.

Section 13.4 Rights of Holders. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) each Holder shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital

D-65

Contribution, (b) no Holder shall have the right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership and (c) no Holder shall have priority over any other Holder as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.

Section 13.5 Notice of Dissolution. In the event that a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each Holder and, in the Managing General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act, to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing General Partner), and the Managing General Partner may, or, if required by the Act, shall, publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Managing General Partner).

Section 13.6 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership. Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed with the State of Delaware, all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership or association in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be cancelled, and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

Section 13.7 Reasonable Time for Winding-Up. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between and among the Partners during the period of liquidation.

ARTICLE 14
PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS
OF PARTNERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS

Section 14.1 Procedures for Actions and Consents of Partners. The actions requiring Consent or approval of Partners pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article 14.

Section 14.2 Amendments. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the Managing General Partner or by Limited Partners holding twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Partnership Interests held by Limited Partners (excluding the Partnership Interests held by the Special Limited Partner) and, except as set forth in Section 7.3.C and subject to Section 7.3.D, shall be approved by the Consent of the Partners. Following such proposal, the Managing General Partner shall submit to the Partners entitled to vote thereon any proposed amendment that, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, requires the Consent, approval or vote of such Partners. The Managing General Partner shall seek the written Consent, approval or vote of the Partners on any such proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that the Managing General Partner may deem appropriate. For purposes of obtaining a written Consent, the Managing General Partner may require a response within a

D-66

reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a Consent that is consistent with the Managing General Partner’s recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however, that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite Consents are received even if prior to such specified time.

Section 14.3 Meetings of the Partners.

A. Meetings of the Partners may be called only by the Managing General Partner. The call shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners entitled to act at the meeting not less than seven (7) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the date of such meeting. Partners may vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Whenever the vote, Consent or approval of Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote, Consent or approval may be given at a meeting of Partners or may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.3.B hereof.

B. Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a written Consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the holders of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement for the action in question) entitled to act at the meeting. Such Consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of the holders of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement) entitled to act at the meeting. Such Consent shall be filed with the Managing General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified.

C. Each Partner entitled to act at the meeting may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in which a Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Each proxy must be signed by the Partner or its attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date). Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the Partnership’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Partner executing such proxy.

D. Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the Managing General Partner or such other Person as the Managing General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the Managing General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation, meetings of Partners may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders and may be held at the same time as, and as part of, the meetings of the Special Limited Partner’s stockholders.

ARTICLE 15
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 15.1 Redemption Rights of Qualifying Parties.

A. Commencing on the expiration of the Twelve-Month Period applicable to any Partnership Common Units, a Qualifying Party shall have the right (subject to the terms and

D-67

conditions set forth herein), by delivering a Notice of Redemption to the Managing General Partner, to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of such Partnership Common Units held by such Tendering Party (Partnership Common Units that have in fact been tendered for redemption being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange (a “Redemption”) for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date. The Partnership may, in the Managing General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, redeem Tendered Units at the request of the Holder prior to the end of the applicable Twelve-Month Period (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein) (a “Special Redemption”); provided, however, that the Managing General Partner first receives a legal opinion to the same effect as the legal opinion described in Section 15.1.G(4) of this Agreement. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner by the Qualifying Party when exercising the Redemption right (the “Tendering Party”). The Partnership’s obligation to effect a Redemption, however, shall not arise or be binding against the Partnership until the earlier of (i) the date the Special Limited Partner notifies the Tendering Party that the Special Limited Partner declines to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units under Section 15.1.B hereof following receipt of a Notice of Redemption and (ii) the Business Day following the Cut-Off Date. In the event of a Redemption, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified or bank check payable to the Tendering Party or, in the Managing General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, in immediately available funds, in each case, on or before the Specified Redemption Date.

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.A hereof, on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, the Special Limited Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, but subject to the Ownership Limit and the availability of authorized but unissued REIT Shares, elect to acquire some or all (such percentage being referred to as the “Applicable Percentage”) of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Party in exchange for REIT Shares. If the Special Limited Partner chooses to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the Special Limited Partner shall give written notice thereof to the Managing General Partner and the Tendering Party on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date. If the Special Limited Partner elects to acquire any of the Tendered Units for REIT Shares, the Special Limited Partner shall issue and deliver such REIT Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to the terms of this Section 15.1.B, in which case (1) the Special Limited Partner shall satisfy the Tendering Party’s exercise of its Redemption right with respect to such Tendered Units and (2) such transaction shall be treated, for Federal income tax purposes, as a transfer by the Tendering Party of such Tendered Units to the Special Limited Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount. If the Special Limited Partner so elects, on the Specified Redemption Date, the Tendering Party shall sell such number of the Tendered Units to the Special Limited Partner in exchange for a number of REIT Shares equal to the product of the REIT Shares Amount and the Applicable Percentage. The Tendering Party shall submit (i) such information, certification or affidavit as the Special Limited Partner may reasonably require in connection with the application of the Ownership Limit and (ii) such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other instruments necessary, in the Special Limited Partner’s view, to effect compliance with the Securities Act. In the event of a purchase of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the Tendering Party shall no longer have the right to cause the Partnership to effect a Redemption of such Tendered Units, and, upon notice to the Tendering Party by the Special Limited Partner, given on or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date, that the Special Limited Partner has elected to acquire some or all

D-68

of the Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, the obligation of the Partnership to effect a Redemption of the Tendered Units to be acquired by the Special Limited Partner shall not accrue or arise. A number of REIT Shares equal to the product of the Applicable Percentage and the REIT Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered by the Special Limited Partner, which shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable REIT Shares and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the Ownership Limit, the Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws. Neither any Tendering Party whose Tendered Units are acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, any Partner, any Assignee nor any other interested Person shall have any right to require or cause the Special Limited Partner to register, qualify or list any REIT Shares owned or held by such Person, whether or not such REIT Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 15.1.B, with the SEC, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or with any stock exchange; provided, however, that this limitation shall not be in derogation of any registration or similar rights granted pursuant to any other written agreement between the Special Limited Partner and any such Person. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares and Rights for all purposes, including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends, and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date. REIT Shares issued upon an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 15.1.B may contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Charter, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws as the Special Limited Partner in good faith determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with the Charter and such laws.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.A and 15.1.B hereof, the Tendering Parties shall have no rights under this Agreement that would otherwise be prohibited under the Charter with respect to the Ownership Limit. To the extent that any attempted Redemption or acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof would be in violation of this Section 15.1.C, it shall be null and void ab initio, and the Tendering Party shall not acquire any rights or economic interests in REIT Shares otherwise issuable by the Special Limited Partner under Section 15.1.B hereof or cash otherwise payable under Section 15.1.A hereof.

D. If the Special Limited Partner does not choose to acquire the Tendered Units pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof:

(1) The Partnership may elect to raise funds for the payment of the Cash Amount either (a) by requiring that the Special Limited Partner contribute to the Partnership funds from the proceeds of a registered public offering by the Special Limited Partner of REIT Shares sufficient to purchase the Tendered Units or (b) from any other sources (including, but not limited to, the sale of any Property and the incurrence of additional Debt) available to the Partnership. Any proceeds from a public offering that are in excess of the Cash Amount shall be for the sole benefit of the Special Limited Partner. The Special Limited Partner shall make a Capital Contribution of any such amounts to the Partnership for an additional Limited Partner Interest. Any such contribution shall entitle the Special Limited Partner to an equitable Percentage Interest adjustment.

D-69

(2) If the Cash Amount is not paid on or before the Specified Redemption Date, interest shall accrue with respect to the Cash Amount from the day after the Specified Redemption Date to and including the date on which the Cash Amount is paid at a rate equal to the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate).

E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 15.1.B hereof, the Special Limited Partner shall not elect to acquire any Tendered Units in exchange for REIT Shares if such exchange would be prohibited under the Charter.

F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 15.1.C hereof), with respect to any Redemption (or any tender of Partnership Common Units for Redemption if the Tendered Units are acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof) pursuant to this Section 15.1:

(1) All Partnership Common Units acquired by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof shall automatically, and without further action required, be converted into and deemed to be a Special Limited Partner’s Partner Interest comprised of the same number of Partnership Common Units.

(2) Subject to the Ownership Limit, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption for less than one thousand (1,000) Partnership Common Units or, if such Tendering Party holds (as a Limited Partner or, economically, as an Assignee) less than one thousand (1,000) Partnership Common Units, all of the Partnership Common Units held by such Tendering Party, unless, in each case, otherwise agreed to by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.

(3) If (i) a Tendering Party surrenders its Tendered Units during the period after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by the Special Limited Partner for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Partnership distribution, and (ii) the Special Limited Partner elects to acquire any of such Tendered Units in exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 15.1.B, such Tendering Party shall pay to the Special Limited Partner on the Specified Redemption Date an amount in cash equal to the portion of the Partnership distribution in respect of the Tendered Units exchanged for REIT Shares, insofar as such distribution relates to the same period for which such Tendering Party would receive a distribution in respect of such REIT Shares.

(4) The consummation of such Redemption (or an acquisition of Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, as the case may be) shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

(5) The Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the case of an Assignee, to the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof) all Partnership Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Limited Partner or an Assignee, as applicable,

D-70

with respect to such Partnership Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Partnership Common Units are either paid for by the Partnership pursuant to Section 15.1.A hereof or transferred to the Special Limited Partner and paid for, by the issuance of the REIT Shares, pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date and an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Special Limited Partner with respect to the REIT Shares issuable in connection with such acquisition.

G. In connection with an exercise of Redemption rights pursuant to this Section 15.1, the Tendering Party shall submit the following to the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, in addition to the Notice of Redemption:

(1) A written affidavit, dated the same date as the Notice of Redemption, (a) disclosing the actual and constructive ownership, as determined for purposes of Code Sections 856(a)(6) and 856(h), of REIT Shares by (i) such Tendering Party and (ii) to the best of their knowledge any Related Party and (b) representing that, after giving effect to the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party will own REIT Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit;

(2) A written representation that neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party has any intention to acquire any additional REIT Shares prior to the closing of the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date; and

(3) An undertaking to certify, at and as a condition to the closing of (i) the Redemption or (ii) the acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date, that either (a) the actual and constructive ownership of REIT Shares by the Tendering Party and to the best of their knowledge any Related Party remain unchanged from that disclosed in the affidavit required by Section 15.1.G(1) or (b) after giving effect to the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 15.1.B hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor to the best of their knowledge any Related Party shall own REIT Shares in violation of the Ownership Limit.

(4) In connection with any Special Redemption, the Special Limited Partner shall have the right to receive an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the effect that the proposed Special Redemption will not cause the Partnership, the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner to violate any Federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Special Redemption, the issuance and sale of the Tendered Units to the Tendering Party or the issuance and sale of REIT Shares to the Tendering Party pursuant to Section 15.1.B of this Agreement.

Section 15.2 Addresses and Notice. Any notice, demand, request or report required or permitted to be given or made to a Partner or Assignee under this Agreement shall be in writing

Each Partner hereby (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware (collectively, the “Delaware Courts”), with respect to any dispute arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby to the extent such courts would have subject matter jurisdiction with respect to such dispute, (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of any of the Delaware Courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or that the venue of the action is improper, (iii) agrees that notice or the service of process in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be properly served or delivered if delivered to such Partner at such Partner’s last known address as set forth in the Partnership’s books and records, and (iv) irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 15.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains all of the understandings and agreements between and among the Partners with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the rights, interests and obligations of the Partners with respect to the Partnership. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, the Partners hereby acknowledge and agree that the Managing General Partner, without the approval of any Limited Partner, may enter into side letters or similar written agreements with Limited Partners that are not Affiliates of the Managing General Partner or the Special Limited Partner, executed contemporaneously with the admission of such Limited Partner to the Partnership, affecting the terms hereof, as negotiated with such Limited Partner and which the Managing General Partner in its sole discretion deems necessary, desirable or appropriate. The parties hereto agree that any terms, conditions or provisions contained in such side letters or similar written agreements with a Limited Partner shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 15.11 Invalidity of Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be affected thereby.

Section 15.12 Limitation to Preserve REIT Qualification. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, to the extent that the amount paid, credited, distributed or reimbursed by the Partnership to any REIT Partner or its officers, directors, employees or agents, whether as a

D-73

reimbursement, fee, expense or indemnity (a “REIT Payment”), would constitute gross income to the REIT Partner for purposes of Code Section 856(c)(2) or Code Section 856(c)(3), then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of such REIT Payments, as selected by the Managing General Partner in its discretion from among items of potential distribution, reimbursement, fees, expenses and indemnities, shall be reduced for any Partnership Year so that the REIT Payments, as so reduced, for or with respect to such REIT Partner shall not exceed the lesser of:

(i) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%) of the REIT Partner’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(2) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(2)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(2) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments); or

(ii) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) twenty-four percent (24%) of the REIT Partner’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT Payments) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(3) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section 856(c)(3) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments);

provided, however, that REIT Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above may be made if the Managing General Partner, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts shall not adversely affect the REIT Partner’s ability to qualify as a REIT. To the extent that REIT Payments may not be made in a Partnership Year as a consequence of the limitations set forth in this Section 15.12, such REIT Payments shall carry over and shall be treated as arising in the following Partnership Year if such carry over does not adversely affect the REIT Partner’s ability to qualify as a REIT. The purpose of the limitations contained in this Section 15.12 is to prevent any REIT Partner from failing to qualify as a REIT under the Code by reason of such REIT Partner’s share of items, including distributions, reimbursements, fees, expenses or indemnities, receivable directly or indirectly from the Partnership, and this Section 15.12 shall be interpreted and applied to effectuate such purpose.

Section 15.13 REIT Restrictions. Each Affiliated REIT is a REIT and is subject to the provisions of Sections 856 through and including 860 of the Code. So long as an Affiliated REIT owns, directly or indirectly, any interest in the Partnership, then notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement:

(i) any services that would otherwise cause any rents from a lease to be excluded from treatment as rents from real property pursuant to Section 856(d)(2)(C) of the Code shall be provided by either (1) an independent contractor (as described in Section 856(d)(3) of the Code) with respect to such Affiliated REIT and from whom neither the Partnership nor such Affiliated REIT derives or receives any income or (2) a

D-74

taxable REIT subsidiary of such Affiliated REIT as described in Section 856(l) of the Code;

(ii) except for a taxable REIT subsidiary of an Affiliated REIT, the Partnership shall not own, directly or indirectly or by attribution (in accordance with attribution rules referred to in Section 856(d)(5) of the Code), in the aggregate ten percent (10%) or more of the total value of all classes of stock or ten percent (10%) or more of the total voting power (or, with respect to any such person which is not a corporation, an interest of ten percent (10%) or more in the assets or net profits of such person) of a lessee or sublessee of all or any part of the Property or of any other assets of the Partnership except in each case with the specific written approval of each Affiliated REIT;

(iii) except for securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary of an Affiliated REIT, the Partnership shall not own or acquire, directly or indirectly or by attribution, ten percent (10%) or more of the total value or the total voting power of the outstanding securities of any issuer or own any other asset (including a security) which would cause the Affiliated REIT to fail the asset test of Section 856(c)(4)(B) of the Code; and

(iv) leases entered into by the Partnership or any of its Subsidiary partnerships, limited partnerships, and limited liability companies shall provide for rents that qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code with respect to each Affiliated REIT.

Section 15.14 No Partition. No Partner nor any successor-in-interest to a Partner shall have the right while this Agreement remains in effect to have any property of the Partnership partitioned, or to file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have such property of the Partnership partitioned, and each Partner, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns hereby waives any such right. It is the intention of the Partners that the rights of the parties hereto and their successors-in-interest to Partnership property, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this Agreement, and that the rights of the Partners and their respective successors-in-interest shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 15.15 No Third-Party Rights Created Hereby. The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the interests of the Holders, inter se; and no other person, firm or entity (i.e., a party who is not a signatory hereto or a permitted successor to such signatory hereto) shall have any right, power, title or interest by way of subrogation or otherwise, in and to the rights, powers, title and provisions of this Agreement. No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership (other than as expressly set forth herein with respect to Indemnitees) shall have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may any such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any Debt or other obligation of the Partnership or any of the Partners.

D-75

Section 15.16 No Rights as Stockholders. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders of Partnership Units any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the Special Limited Partner, including without limitation any right to receive dividends or other distributions made to stockholders of the Special Limited Partner or to vote or to consent or receive notice as stockholders in respect of any meeting of stockholders for the election of directors of the Special Limited Partner or any other matter.

Section 15.17 Preparation of Agreement. Xxxxxx and Xxxxxx, Professional Association (“Xxxxxx”) is representing the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner in connection with this Agreement. By signing this Agreement, each Partner (other than the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, but including each Additional Limited Partner, Additional General Partner or Substituted Limited Partner as a condition to becoming an Additional Limited Partner, Additional General Partner or a Substituted Limited Partner), acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised that Xxxxxx is not representing such Limited Partner or General Partner in connection with this Agreement and that such Partner’s interests in connection with this Agreement may be adverse to, or in conflict with, the interests of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner, the Special Limited Partner or the other Partners. Each Partner (other than the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner, but including each Additional Limited Partner, Additional General Partner or Substituted Limited Partner as a condition to becoming an Additional Limited Partner, Additional General Partner or a Substituted Limited Partner) further acknowledges that it has been advised to seek separate counsel in connection with this Agreement because of the adverse and conflicting interests that may exist or that may arise in the future. The Partnership and the Partners each agree that, to the extent the Partnership or such Partner is represented by Xxxxxx on matters unrelated to this Agreement, the Partnership and each such Partner consents to Xxxxxx’ representation of the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner in connection with this Agreement, waives any conflict of interest and agrees that the duty of loyalty of Xxxxxx in connection with this Agreement shall be owed solely to the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and the Special Limited Partner.

Exhibit B
EXAMPLES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT FACTOR

For purposes of the following examples, it is assumed that (a) the Adjustment Factor in effect on [ ], 20___ is 1.0 and (b) on [ , 20___] (the “Partnership Record Date” for purposes of these examples), prior to the events described in the examples, there are 100 REIT Shares issued and outstanding.

Example 1

On the Partnership Record Date, the Special Limited Partner declares a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares. The amount of the dividend is one REIT Share paid in respect of each REIT Share owned. Pursuant to Paragraph (i) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the stock dividend is declared, as follows:

1.0 * 200/100 = 2.0

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the stock dividend is declared is 2.0.

Example 2

On the Partnership Record Date, the Special Limited Partner distributes options to purchase REIT Shares to all holders of its REIT Shares. The amount of the distribution is one option to acquire one REIT Share in respect of each REIT Share owned. The strike price is $4.00 a share. The Value of a REIT Share on the Partnership Record Date is $5.00 per share. Pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the options are distributed, as follows:

1.0 * (100 + 100)/(100 + [100 * $4.00/$5.00]) = 1.1111

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the options are distributed is 1.1111. If the options expire or become no longer exercisable, then the retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor” shall apply.

Example 3

On the Partnership Record Date, the Special Limited Partner distributes assets to all holders of its REIT Shares. The amount of the distribution is one asset with a fair market value (as determined by the Managing General Partner) of $1.00 in respect of each REIT Share owned. It is also assumed that the assets do not relate to assets received by the Managing General Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership. The Value of a REIT Share on the Partnership Record Date is $5.00 a share. Pursuant to Paragraph (iii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the assets are distributed, as follows:

1.0 * $5.00/($5.00 — $1.00) = 1.25

Accordingly, the Adjustment Factor after the assets are distributed is 1.25.

Section 1.01 ORGANIZATION; AUTHORITY.

(a) Each of the Principal Controlled Entities has been duly organized and is validly existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite power and authority to enter into each agreement or other document contemplated by the Contribution Agreements and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby, and to own, lease and/or operate each of its Properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each such Principal Controlled Entity and each of its Subsidiaries, to the extent required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its Properties make such qualification necessary, other than such failures to be so qualified as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Exhibit B-1 hereto (with respect to the Investment Funds), Exhibit B-2 hereto (with respect to the Non-Fund Entities, other than the Outside Entities) and Exhibit B-3 hereto (with respect to the JV Companies) sets forth, as of the Effective Date (i) each Subsidiary of each Principal Controlled Entity, (ii) the ownership interests of

such Principal Controlled Entity in such Subsidiary, (iii) if not wholly owned by such Principal Controlled Entity, the identity and ownership interest of each of the other owners of such Subsidiary, and (iv) each Property owned or leased pursuant to a ground lease by such Principal Controlled Entity or such Subsidiary. To the Principal’s Knowledge, no Outside Entity owns any interest in any real property investment or related asset, other than an interest in one or more of the Properties. Each Subsidiary of each Principal Controlled Entity has been duly organized and is validly existing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all power and authority to own, lease and/or operate its Properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each Subsidiary of each Principal Controlled Entity, to the extent required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its Properties make such qualification necessary, other than such failures to be so qualified as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 1.02 DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance by each Principal Controlled Entity of each agreement or other document contemplated by the Contribution Agreements to which it is a party have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions required of such Principal Controlled Entity. Each agreement, document and instrument contemplated by the Contribution Agreements and executed and delivered by or on behalf of each Principal Controlled Entity constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Principal Controlled Entity, each enforceable against such Principal Controlled Entity in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.

Section 1.03 CAPITALIZATION. Exhibit A to the Contribution Agreements sets forth, with respect to each Principal Controlled Entity other than the Existing Non-Fund Entities and the Newly Formed Entities, the ownership of each such Principal Controlled Entity as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date and, with respect to the Newly Formed Entities, the ownership of each such Newly Formed Entity as of the Closing Date. All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of such Principal Controlled Entity (other than the Existing Non-Fund Entities) are validly issued and, to the Principal’s Knowledge, are not subject to preemptive rights.

Section 1.04 LICENSES AND PERMITS.

To the Principal’s Knowledge, no Principal Controlled Entity or any of their Subsidiaries,

G-3

nor any third party has taken any action that (or failed to take any action the omission of which) would result in the revocation of any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization where such revocation or revocations would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

From the Effective Date through and including the Closing Date, each applicable Principal Controlled Entity or Subsidiary shall not take or omit to take any action to cause any Lien to attach to the Property owned by such entity, except for Permitted Liens.

(b) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of the Properties reasonably valued in excess of the Threshold Amount, (i) none of the Principal Controlled Entities, any of their Subsidiaries, nor, to the Principal’s Knowledge, any other party to any agreement affecting any Property (other than a Lease (as such term is hereinafter defined) for space within such Property), has given or received any notice of default with respect to any term or condition of any such agreement, including, without limitation, any ground lease, (ii) no event has occurred or has been threatened in writing, which with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would, individually or together with all such other events, constitute a default under any such agreement, or would, individually or together with all such other events, reasonably be expected to cause the acceleration of any material obligation of any party thereto or the creation of a Lien upon any asset of any Principal Controlled Entity or any of their Subsidiaries, except for Permitted Liens, and (iii) all agreements affecting any Property required for the continued use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of such Property (exclusive of space Leases) are valid and binding and in full force and effect.

(c) To the Principal’s Knowledge, none of the operations, as presently conducted, of the buildings, fixtures and other improvements comprising a part of the Properties are in violation of any applicable building code, zoning ordinance or other Law or regulation, except for such violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to cost in excess of the Threshold Amount to cure.

(d) To the Principal’s Knowledge, there is no material defect in the condition of (i) the Properties, (ii) the improvements thereon, (iii) the roof, foundation, load-bearing walls or other structural elements thereof, or (iv) the mechanical, electrical, plumbing and, safety systems therein, nor any material damage from casualty or other cause, nor any soil condition of any nature that will not support all of the improvements thereon. For this purpose, a “material defect” does not include a defect for which there are insurance proceeds readily available to correct, or as to which capital expenditures to repair or replace the defective item have been budgeted and adequately reserved and, in each case, is actively being corrected.

G-5

(e) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of the Property reasonably valued in excess of the Threshold Amount, (i) no Principal Controlled Entity or any of their Subsidiaries, nor, to the Principal’s Knowledge, any other party to any Lease, has given or received any notice of default with respect to any term or condition of any such Lease, (ii) to the Principal’s Knowledge, no event has occurred or has been threatened in writing, which with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would, individually or together with all such other events, constitute a default under any Lease, or would, individually or together with all such other events, reasonably be expected to cause the acceleration of any material obligation of any party thereto or the creation of a Lien upon any asset of the Principal Controlled Entities or any of their Subsidiaries, except for Permitted Liens, and (iii) each of the leases (and all amendments thereto or modifications thereof) to which any Principal Controlled Entity or any of their Subsidiaries is a party or by which any Principal Controlled Entity or any of their Subsidiaries or any Property is bound or subject (collectively, the “Leases”) is and will be valid and binding and in full force and effect. None of the Leases require the consent or approval of any party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.

(f) Schedule 1.07(f) is a true and complete list of all Leases (together with all amendments and supplements thereto) for more than 100,000 rentable square feet of any Property (the “Material Leases”). No tenant under any of the Material Leases has an option or right of first refusal to purchase the premises demised under such Material Leases. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not give rise to any breach, default or any event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under any of the Material Leases. Schedule 1.07(f) identifies in a true, correct and complete manner the following information as it relates to all Material Leases: (i) the expiration date; (ii) the rentable square footage demised thereunder, (iii) the use of the demised premises thereunder; (iv) the annualized base rent payable thereunder; (v) rent arrearages and other defaults of which the Principals have Knowledge; (vi) renewal, expansion and purchase options; and (vii) any outstanding tenant improvement allowances, brokerage commissions or other tenant inducement or similar costs applicable to such Material Lease.

Section 1.08 INSURANCE. The applicable Principal Controlled Entity or Subsidiary has in place the public liability, casualty and other insurance coverage with

G-6

respect to each Property and the Service Business as the Principals reasonably deem necessary. Each of the insurance policies with respect to the Properties and the Service Business is in full force and effect and all premiums due and payable thereunder have been fully paid when due. No Principal Controlled Entity nor any Subsidiary has received from any insurance company any notices of cancellation or intent to cancel any insurance.

Section 1.09 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Schedule 1.09 is a true and complete list of all environmental site assessment reports, investigations, remediation or compliance studies, audits, assessments or similar documents relating to the Properties, and prepared within ten (10) years prior to the Effective Date and within the possession or under the control of the Principals, the Principal Controlled Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any agent of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Environmental Reports”).

(b) Neither the Principal Controlled Entities nor their Subsidiaries have received any written notice from any Governmental Authority or third party alleging that any Principal Controlled Entity, any of their Subsidiaries or any Property is not in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws;

(d) To the Principal’s Knowledge, except as disclosed in the reports listed in Schedule 1.09, there has not been a release of a hazardous substance on any Property that would require investigation or remediation under applicable Environmental Laws nor has any hazardous substance been placed or stored in, on, under or over the Property in violation of any Environmental Law;

(e) Neither the Principal Controlled Entities nor their Subsidiaries have placed, located, sited or buried any underground storage tanks at the Properties and, to the Principal’s Knowledge, no underground storage tanks are located on, at or under the Properties which are not maintained in accordance with applicable Laws; and

(f) Neither the Principal Controlled Entities nor their Subsidiaries have used any part of the Properties as a sanitary landfill, waste dump site or for the treatment or disposal of hazardous waste as defined in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (42 X.X.X. §0000, et seq.), as amended (“RCRA”), and, to the Principal’s

G-7

Knowledge, no part of the Properties were used as a sanitary landfill, waste dump site or for the treatment or disposal of hazardous waste as defined in RCRA prior to the ownership thereof by the Principal Controlled Entities and their Subsidiaries except as disclosed in the Environmental Reports.

The representations and warranties contained in this Section 1.06 constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties made by the Principals concerning environmental matters.

Section 1.10 EMINENT DOMAIN. There is no existing or, to the Principal’s Knowledge, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding which would have a material adverse effect on the business or operations of any Property reasonably valued to be in excess of the Threshold Amount.

Section 1.11 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The financial statements of the Principal Controlled Entities included in the PPM and in the Prospectus have been, prepared in all material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments; provided, however, that the foregoing representation and warranty in respect of the financial statements included in the Prospectus is made only as of the Closing Date.

Section 1.12 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except as shall have been satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or filing with, any Person or Governmental Authority or under any applicable Laws is required to be obtained by any Principal Controlled Entity or Subsidiary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any of the agreements or documents contemplated by the Contribution Agreements to which such Principal Controlled Entity is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except for those consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations or filings, the failure of which to obtain or to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 1.13 NO VIOLATION. None of the execution, delivery or performance by any Principal Controlled Entity of any agreement or document contemplated by the Contribution Agreements to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right under, (A) the organizational documents of any Principal Controlled Entity or Subsidiary, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which any Principal Controlled Entity or Subsidiary or any of their respective assets or properties are bound or (C) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on any Principal Controlled Entity or Subsidiary, except for, in the case of clause (B) or (C), any such

G-8

breaches or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 1.14 TAXES. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Principal Controlled Entity and each Subsidiary of a Principal Controlled Entity has timely filed all Tax and information returns and reports required to be filed by it (after giving effect to any filing extension properly granted by a Governmental Authority having authority to do so) and all such returns and reports are accurate and complete in all material respects, and has paid (or had paid on its behalf) all Taxes as required to be paid by it, and (ii) (x) no written deficiencies for any Taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed against any Principal Controlled Entity, any Subsidiary of a Principal Controlled Entity or any asset of a Principal Controlled Entity or its Subsidiaries, and (y) to the Principal’s knowledge, no deficiencies for any Taxes will be proposed, asserted or assessed against any Principal Controlled Entity, any Subsidiary of a Principal Controlled Entity or any asset of a Principal Controlled Entity or its Subsidiaries, and (z) no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending. Each Principal Controlled Entity and each Subsidiary of a Principal Controlled Entity has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld and paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor or other third party. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, each Principal Controlled Entity and each Subsidiary of a Principal Controlled Entity is, and at all times during its existence has been, treated as a partnership or as an entity that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-2 (rather than an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation).

Section 1.15 NON-FOREIGN STATUS. None of the Principal Controlled Entities is a foreign person (as defined in the Code) and none is, therefore, subject to the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales or exchange proceeds to foreign persons.

Section 1.16 SERVICE BUSINESS AGREEMENTS. All of the Material Agreements related to the Service Business are listed on Schedule 1.16 and are in full force and effect and no Principal Controlled Entity or, to the Knowledge of the Principals, other party to such agreements is in default thereunder.

FORM OF CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For United States tax purposes (including section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a United States real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. Capitalized terms which are used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in that certain Contribution Agreement, dated , 20___ by and between Welsh Property Trust, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and the undersigned (the “Contributor”). To inform the Operating Partnership that the withholding of tax is not required upon the contribution of the Contributed Interests by Contributor, to the Operating Partnership, which transfer occurred on the date set forth below, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Contributor:

1. Contributor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), or a non-resident alien for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

2. If Contributor is not an individual, Contributor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);

3. Contributor’s employer identification number (or social security number, if Contributor is an individual) is ; and

4. Contributor’s office address (or home address if Contributor is an individual) is:

The undersigned understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the Operating Partnership and that any false statement contained herein could be punishable by fine, imprisonment or both.

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Contributor.
