(b) To the extent provided for in Regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and/or other IRS guidance issued after the date hereof, the Partnership is hereby authorized to, and at the direction of the General Partner shall, elect a safe harbor under which the fair market value of any Partnership Interests issued after the effective date of such Regulations (or other guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value of such Partnership Interests (i.e., a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed with respect to such interests if the Partnership sold all of its assets for their fair market value immediately after the issuance of such Partnership Interests, satisfied its liabilities (excluding any non-recourse liabilities to the extent the balance of such liabilities exceed the fair market value of the assets that secure them) and distributed the net proceeds to the Partners under the terms of this Agreement). In the event that the Partnership makes a safe harbor election as described in the preceding sentence, each Partner hereby agrees to comply with all safe harbor requirements with respect to transfers of such Partnership Interests while the safe harbor election remains effective.

13. Section 3 of the Allocations Exhibit is hereby supplemented by adding the following new Sections 3.10 and 3.11 to the end thereof:

3.10 Special Allocations With Respect to LTIP Units.

(a) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 3.1 through 3.9 hereof, and the allocations of Net Income (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Liquidating Gains that are a component of Net Income) under Subsections 2.1(a) through (e) above, but before allocations of Net Income are made under Section 2.1(f) above, any remaining Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the holders of LTIP Units until the Economic Capital Account Balances of such holders, to the extent attributable to their ownership of LTIP Units, are equal to (i) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of their LTIP Units (with respect to each holder, the "Target Balance"); provided, however, that no such Liquidating Gains will be allocated with respect to any particular LTIP Unit (each, an "Ineligible Unit") if cumulative Liquidating Losses of the Partnership have exceeded cumulative Liquidating Gains of the Partnership during the period from the issuance of such LTIP Unit through the date of such allocation. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, not all LTIP Units (including Ineligible Units) are fully booked up, Liquidating Gains shall be allocated among LTIP Units in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, Liquidating Gains allocated with respect to an LTIP Unit pursuant to this Section 3.10(a) shall reduce (but not below zero) the Book-Up Target for such LTIP Unit.

(b) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Sections 3.1 through 3.9 hereof, and notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.1 and 2.2 above, if, due to distributions with respect to Common Units in which the LTIP Units do not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance of any present or former holder of LTIP Units, to the extent attributable to the holder's ownership of LTIP Units, exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall be allocated to such holder to eliminate the disparity; provided, however, that if Liquidating Losses are insufficient to completely eliminate all such disparities, such losses shall be allocated among LTIP Units in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

(c) A "Book-Up Target" shall be established for each LTIP Unit. The initial amount of the Book-Up Target for such LTIP Unit shall be the Common Unit Economic Balance as determined on the later of (i) the date such LTIP Unit was granted or (ii) the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date. The Book-Up Target shall be reduced (not to less than zero) by allocations of Liquidating Gains pursuant to Section 3.10(a) and reallocations of Capital Account balances pursuant to Section 3.11, as determined by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Book-Up Target for any LTIP Unit for which the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable to such LTIP Unit has at any time reached an amount equal to the Common Unit Economic Balance determined as of such time shall be equal to zero.

(d) The parties agree that the intent of this Section 3.10 is, (i) to the extent possible, to make the Capital Account balance associated with each LTIP Unit economically equivalent to the Capital Account balance associated with the General Partner's Common Units (on a per-unit basis), and (ii) to allow conversion of an LTIP Unit (assuming prior vesting) when sufficient Liquidating Gains have been allocated to such LTIP Unit pursuant to Section 3.10(a) so that either its initial Book-Up Target has been reduced to zero or the parity described in (i) above has been achieved. The General Partner shall be permitted to interpret this Section 3.10 or to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary and consistent with this intention.

(e) For purposes of this Allocations Exhibit, the following definitions shall apply:

"Liquidating Gains" means any net gain realized in connection with the actual or hypothetical sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership (including upon the occurrence of any event of liquidation of the Partnership), including but not limited to net gain realized in

connection with an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Partnership assets under the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.3 of the Allocations Exhibit.

"Liquidating Losses" means any net loss realized in connection with the actual or hypothetical sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership (including upon the occurrence of any event of liquidation of the Partnership), including but not limited to net loss realized in connection with an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Partnership assets under the definition of Gross Asset Value in Section 1.3 of the Allocations Exhibit.

"Economic Capital Account Balance" means, with respect to a holder of LTIP Units, as of any date, its Capital Account balance, plus the amount of its shares of any Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either case as of such date and only to the extent attributable to its ownership of LTIP Units.

"Common Unit Economic Balance" shall mean as of any date, (i) the Capital Account balance of the General Partner, plus the amount of the General Partner's share of any Minimum Gain Attributable to Partner Nonrecourse Debt or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either case to the extent attributable to the General Partner's ownership of Common Units and computed on a hypothetical basis after taking into account all allocations through such date divided by (ii) the number of the General Partner's Common Units as of such date.

3.11 Special Forfeiture Reallocations. If, in connection with any forfeiture of LTIP Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the holder that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Units exceeds the Target Balance, such portion of such holder's Capital Account shall be reduced to the Target Balance, and the Book-Up Target of all LTIP Units then held by such holder shall be reduced to zero. Otherwise, the Capital Account of the holder that is attributable to the forfeited LTIP Units shall be reallocated in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

14. Exhibits A, C and D, attached to this Amendment, are hereby made a part of the Agreement.

15. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the General Partner has executed this Amendment as of the date first written above.

Exhibit B
LTIP Units

The following are the terms of the LTIP Units:

1. Designation. A class of Partnership Units in the Partnership designated as the "LTIP Units" is hereby established. LTIP Units are intended to qualify as profits interests in the Partnership. The number of LTIP Units that may be issued shall not be limited.

2. Vesting.

A. Vesting, Generally. LTIP Units may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of an award, vesting or other similar agreement (a "Vesting Agreement"). The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the terms of any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued, if applicable. LTIP Units that have vested and are no longer subject to forfeiture under the terms of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as "Vested LTIP Units"; all other LTIP Units are referred to as "Unvested LTIP Units." Subject to the terms of any Vesting Agreement, a holder of LTIP Units shall be entitled to transfer his or her LTIP Units to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions as holders of Common Units are entitled to transfer their Common Units pursuant to Article VIII of the Agreement.

B. Forfeiture or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units. Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement as resulting in either the forfeiture of any LTIP Units, or the repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner of LTIP Units at a specified purchase price, then upon the occurrence of the circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose, or as transferred to the Partnership or General Partner, as applicable. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. In connection with any forfeiture or repurchase of LTIP Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the holder that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which it exceeds the target balance contemplated by Section 3.10 of the Agreement, calculated with respect to the holder's remaining LTIP Units, if any.

C. Legend. Any certificate evidencing an LTIP Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms, conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation any Vesting Agreement, apply to the LTIP Unit.

3. Distributions.

A. LTIP Distribution Amount. Commencing from and after the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date established for any LTIP Units, such LTIP Units shall be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the General Partner out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, regular, special, extraordinary or other distributions (other than distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership) which may be made from time to time, in an amount per unit equal to the amount of any such distributions that would have been payable to such holders if the LTIP Units had been Common Units (if specified in the Vesting Agreement or other documentation pursuant to which the LTIP Units are issued). LTIP Units shall also be entitled to receive, if, when and as authorized by the General Partner out of funds or other property legally available for the payment of distributions, distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or

B-1

substantially all of the assets of the Partnership in an amount per unit equal to the amount of any such distributions payable on the Common Units, whether made prior to, on or after the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date, provided that the amount of such distributions shall not exceed the positive balances of the Capital Accounts of the holders of such LTIP Units to the extent attributable to the ownership of such LTIP Units. Distributions on the LTIP Units, if authorized, shall be payable on such dates and in such manner as may be authorized by the General Partner (any such date, a "LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date"); provided that the LTIP Unit Distribution Payment Date shall be the same as the corresponding date relating to the corresponding distribution on the Common Units. The record date for determining which holders of LTIP Units are entitled to receive a distribution shall be the Partnership Record Date for that distribution. All distributions paid with respect to LTIP Units prior to the date on which the determination is made with respect to events resulting in the forfeiture of such LTIP Units or the repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner of such LTIP Units shall be retained by the holder of such LTIP Units and not subject to forfeiture or restitution in the event that Unvested LTIP Units fail to become Vested LTIP Units. Following such date of determination, no further distributions will be paid with respect to Unvested LTIP Units that have been forfeited or are repurchased by the Partnership or the General Partner, other than any distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture or repurchase.

B. LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date. The "LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date" for each LTIP Unit will be (i) with respect to LTIP Units granted pursuant to The Macerich Company 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2006 LTIP Plan"), the Effective Date (as defined in the Vesting Agreement of each Person granted LTIP Units under the 2006 LTIP Plan) or (ii) with respect to other LTIP Units, such date as may be specified in the Vesting Agreement or other documentation pursuant to which such LTIP Units are issued.

4. Allocations.

Commencing with the portion of the taxable year of the Partnership that begins on the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date established for any LTIP Units, such LTIP Units shall be allocated Net Income and Net Loss in amounts per LTIP Unit equal to the amounts allocated per Common Unit. The allocations provided by the preceding sentence shall be subject to Sections 2.1 and 2.2 and in addition to any special allocations required by Sections 3.1 through 3.11, each as provided in the Allocations Exhibit. The General Partner is authorized in its discretion to adjust the allocations made under this Section 4 after the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date, so that the ratio of (i) the total amount of Net Income or Net Loss allocated with respect to each LTIP Unit in the taxable year in which that LTIP Unit's LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date falls (excluding special allocations under Section 3.10 and Section 3.11 of the Allocations Exhibit), to (ii) the total amount distributed to that LTIP Unit with respect to such period, is more nearly equal to the ratio of (i) the Net Income and Net Loss allocated with respect to the General Partner's Common Units in such taxable year to (ii) the amounts distributed to the General Partner with respect to such Common Units and such taxable year.

5. Adjustments.

The Partnership shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between LTIP Units and Common Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the following procedures; provided that the foregoing is not intended to alter the special allocations pursuant to Sections 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11 of the Allocations Exhibit, differences between distributions (other than, with respect to LTIP Units having an LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date determined under Section 3.B(ii) above, distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership) to be made with respect to the LTIP Units and Common Units prior to the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date for such LTIP Units, differences between distributions (other than, with respect to LTIP Units having an LTIP Unit

B-2

Distribution Participation Date determined under Section 3.B(ii) above, distributions representing proceeds of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership) to be made with respect to the LTIP Units and Common Units pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Agreement or Section 3.A hereof in the event that the Capital Accounts attributable to the LTIP Units are less than those attributable to the Common Units due to insufficient special allocations pursuant to Section 3.10 and 3.11 of the Allocations Exhibit or related provisions. If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain such one-for-one correspondence between Common Units and LTIP Units. The following shall be "LTIP Unit Adjustment Events": (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Partnership Units, (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of units, or (C) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Units. If more than one LTIP Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be LTIP Unit Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Partnership Units in a financing, reorganization, acquisition or other similar business transaction, (y) the issuance of Partnership Units pursuant to any employee benefit or compensation plan or distribution reinvestment plan, or (z) the issuance of any Partnership Units to the General Partner in respect of a Capital Contribution to the Partnership of proceeds from the sale of securities by the General Partner. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units to maintain the one-to-one correspondence described above, the General Partner shall make such adjustment to the LTIP Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of any plan pursuant to which the LTIP Units have been issued, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under the circumstances. If an adjustment is made to the LTIP Units as herein provided, the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer's certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment to his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

6. Ranking.

The LTIP Units shall rank on parity with the Common Units in all respects and junior to all Preferred Units, Series A Preferred Units, Series B Preferred Units, Series D Preferred Units, Series N Preferred Units, and Series P Preferred Units, with respect to distribution rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Partnership, subject to the proviso in the first sentence of Section 5.

7. Right to Convert LTIP Units into Common Units.

A. Conversion Right. A holder of LTIP Units shall have the right (the "LTIP Unit Conversion Right"), at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into Common Units. Holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to convert Unvested LTIP Units into Common Units until they become Vested LTIP Units; provided, however, that when a holder of LTIP Units is notified of the expected occurrence of an event that will cause his or her Unvested LTIP Units to become Vested LTIP Units, such Person may give the Partnership an LTIP Unit Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting, and such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by the holder of the LTIP Units, shall be accepted by the Partnership subject

B-3

to such condition. The General Partner shall have the right at any time to cause a conversion of Vested LTIP Units the Book-up Target of which is zero into Common Units. In all cases, the conversion of any LTIP Units into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 7.

B. Number of Units Convertible. A holder of Vested LTIP Units may convert such Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 5.

C. Notice. In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a holder of LTIP Units shall deliver a notice (a "LTIP Unit Conversion Notice") in the form attached as Exhibit C to this Amendment not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to a date (the "LTIP Unit Conversion Date") specified in such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice. Each holder of LTIP Units covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all Vested LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 7 shall be free and clear of all liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 9.1 of the Agreement and the Redemption Rights Exhibit to the Agreement), a holder of LTIP Units may deliver an Exercise Notice pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Agreement and the Redemption Rights Exhibit to the Agreement relating to those Common Units that will be issued to such holder upon conversion of such LTIP Units into Common Units in advance of the LTIP Unit Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by the Partnership shall in no event take place until the LTIP Unit Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a holder of LTIP Units in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested LTIP Units will be converted can be redeemed by the Partnership simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if the General Partner elects to assume the Partnership's redemption obligation with respect to such Common Units under Section 9.1 of the Agreement and the Redemption Rights Exhibit to the Agreement by delivering to such holder Shares rather than cash, then such holder can have such Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into Common Units. The General Partner shall cooperate with a holder of LTIP Units to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence.

D. Forced Conversion. The Partnership, at any time at the election of the General Partner, may cause any number of Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero held by a holder of LTIP Units to be converted (a "LTIP Unit Forced Conversion") into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 5. In order to exercise its right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a notice (a "LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice") in the form attached as Exhibit D to the Amendment to the applicable holder not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the LTIP Unit Conversion Date specified in such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice. A Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 13.1 of the Agreement.

E. Conversion Procedures. Subject to any redemption of Common Units to be received upon the conversion of Vested LTIP Units, a conversion of Vested LTIP Units for which the holder thereof has given an LTIP Unit Conversion Notice or the Partnership has given a Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable LTIP Unit Conversion Date without any action on the part of such holder of LTIP Units, as of which time such holder of LTIP Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion. After the conversion of LTIP Units as aforesaid, the Partnership shall deliver to such holder of LTIP Units, upon his or her written request, a certificate of the General Partner certifying the number of Common Units and remaining LTIP Units, if any, held by such Person immediately after such conversion.

F. Treatment of Capital Account. For purposes of making future allocations under Section 3.10 of the Allocations Exhibit, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable holder of LTIP Units that is treated as attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced in accordance with the Economic Capital Account Balance of such holder attributable to the LTIP Units converted.

G. Mandatory Conversion in Connection with a Transaction. If the Partnership or the General Partner shall be a party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event), in each case as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of Common Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a "Transaction"), then the General Partner shall, immediately prior to the Transaction, exercise its right to cause a LTIP Unit Forced Conversion with respect to the maximum number of LTIP Units then eligible for conversion, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Partnership Units in the context of the Transaction (in which case the LTIP Unit Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction and the conversion shall occur immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Transaction).

In anticipation of such LTIP Unit Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each holder of LTIP Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which his or her LTIP Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming such holder of Common Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a "Constituent Person"), or an Affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Transaction, prior to such Transaction the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each holder of LTIP Units of such election, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford such holders the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such holder into Common Units in connection with such Transaction. If a holder of LTIP Units fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Common Unit would receive if such holder of Common Units failed to make such an election.

Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General Partner under any Vesting Agreement and the terms of any plan under which LTIP Units are issued, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 7 and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any holders of LTIP Units whose LTIP Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of LTIP Units that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their LTIP Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as

B-5

far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights set forth in the Agreement for the benefit of the holders of LTIP Units.

8. Redemption at the Option of the Partnership.

LTIP Units will not be redeemable at the option of the Partnership; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Partnership from (i) repurchasing LTIP Units from the holder thereof if and to the extent such holder agrees to sell such LTIP Units or (ii) from exercising its LTIP Unit Forced Conversion right.

9. Voting Rights.

A. Voting with Common Units. Holders of LTIP Units shall have the right to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Units; holders of LTIP Units and Common Units shall vote together as a single class, together with any other class or series of Partnership Units upon which like voting rights have been conferred. In any matter in which the LTIP Units are entitled to vote, including an action by written consent, each LTIP Unit shall be entitled to vote a Percentage Interest equal on a per unit basis to the Percentage Interest represented by each Common Unit.

B. Special Approval Rights. Except as provided in Section 9.A. above, holders of LTIP Units shall only (a) have those voting rights required from time to time by non-waivable provisions of applicable law, if any, and (b) have the additional voting rights that are expressly set forth in this Section 9.B. The General Partner and/or the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding LTIP Units affected thereby, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), take any action that would materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the rights, powers or privileges of such LTIP Units, subject to the following exceptions:

(i) no separate consent of the holders of LTIP Units will be required if and to the extent that any such alteration, change, modification or amendment would equally, ratably and proportionately alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the Common Units (in which event the holders of LTIP Units shall only have such voting rights, if any, as provided in Sections 6.3, 7.1, 10.1(b), Article XII of the Agreement, or otherwise as expressly provided for in the Agreement, in accordance with Section 9.A above);

(ii) with respect to any merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization, so long as either (w) the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the effectiveness of the transaction, (x) the holders of LTIP Units either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each LTIP Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Common Unit in consideration of one Common Unit pursuant to the terms of such transaction, (y) the LTIP Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, or (z) if the Partnership is not the surviving entity in such transaction, the LTIP Units are exchanged for a security of the surviving entity with terms that are materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting as the LTIP Units and without any income, gain or loss expected to be recognized by the holder upon the exchange for federal income tax purposes (and with the terms of the Common Units or such other securities into which the LTIP Units (or the substitute security therefor) are convertible materially the same with respect to rights to allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting), such merger, consolidation or other business combination or reorganization shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units, provided further, that if some, but not all, of the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the

B-6

effectiveness of the transaction (and neither clause (y) or (z) above is applicable), then the consent required pursuant to this Section will be the consent of the holders of more than 50% of the LTIP Units to be outstanding following such conversion;

(iii) any creation or issuance of Partnership Units (whether ranking junior to, on a parity with or senior to the LTIP Units with respect to payment of distributions, right of redemptions and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up), which either (x) does not require the consent of the holders of Common Units or (y) does require such consent and is authorized by a vote of the holders of Common Units and LTIP Units voting together as a single class pursuant to Section 9.A above, together with any other class or series of units of limited partnership interest in the Partnership upon which like voting rights have been conferred, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units; and

(iv) any waiver by the Partnership of restrictions or limitations applicable to any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any holder or holders thereof shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units with respect to other holders.

The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, as of or prior to the time when the action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be taken or be effective, all outstanding LTIP Units shall have been converted and/or redeemed, or provision is made for such redemption and/or conversion to occur as of or prior to such time.
