Article IV

CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS; PARTNERSHIP UNITS;

ADDITIONAL FUNDS

4.1 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS OF THE PARTNERS

(a) Initial Capital Contributions. The General Partner and the Limited Partners have made the Capital Contributions as set forth on Exhibit A in exchange for the number of Partnership Units set forth opposite their names on Exhibit A of the Original Agreement. At

such time as Additional Limited Partners were or will be admitted to the Partnership, each such Additional Limited Partner made or shall make Capital Contributions in the amount set forth opposite such Limited Partner’s name on Exhibit A, as amended at the time of such contribution.

(b) Deemed Capital Contributions. To the extent the Partnership acquires any property by the merger of any other Person into the Partnership or the contribution of assets by any other Person to the Partnership, Persons who receive Partnership Interests in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into or contributing assets to the Partnership shall become Partners and shall be deemed to have made Capital Contributions as provided in the applicable merger agreement or contribution agreement and as set forth in Exhibit A, as amended to reflect such deemed Capital Contributions.

(c) LTIP Capital Contributions. The holder of any LTIP Partnership Unit shall make a contribution of capital to the Partnership with respect to such LTIP Partnership Unit as is specified in the award agreement for such LTIP Partnership Unit, payable on demand or to be offset by any distributions paid with respect to such LTIP Partnership Unit (the “LTIP Capital Commitment”).

(d) Partnership Units. Each Partner shall own Partnership Units in the amounts set forth for such Partner in Exhibit A and shall have a Common Percentage Interest and Overall Interest as set forth in Exhibit A, which Percentage Interests shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect accurately redemptions, additional Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Partnership Units, Transfers or similar events having an effect on the number of Partnership Units held by, and the Percentage Interest(s) of, any Partner. Each Common Partnership Unit shall entitle the holder thereof to one vote on all matters on which the Partners (or any portion of the Partners) are entitled to vote under this Agreement. LTIP Partnership Units shall have no voting rights under this Agreement.

(e) Conversion of Vested LTIP Partnership Units.

(i) Subject to clause (ii) of this subsection (e), each Vested LTIP Partnership Unit shall be automatically converted into one Common Series B Unit on the latest of (A) its Vesting Date, (B) the date that its LTIP Economic Balance is equal to the Common Partnership Unit Economic Balance and (C) the date on which the Unpaid LTIP Capital Commitment with respect to such Vested LTIP Partnership Unit is equal to zero, unless such Vested LTIP Partnership Unit has been forfeited by its own terms prior to such date.

(ii) If (A) LTIP Partnership Units become Vested LTIP Partnership Units as a result of an Exit Trigger Event, and (B) the application of Section 6.3 does not cause the LTIP Economic Balance of each such Vested LTIP Partnership Unit to be equal to or greater than the difference between the Common Partnership Unit Economic Balance and the Unpaid LTIP Capital Commitment of such Vested LTIP Partnership Unit (any such Vested LTIP Partnership Unit for which such condition is met shall have achieved “Adjusted Parity”), then any such Vested LTIP Partnership Unit that has not achieved Adjusted Parity after application of Section 6.3 shall not be eligible for conversion into a Common Series B Unit, but instead shall be mandatorily redeemed within [five (5)] Business Days following such Exit Trigger Event for an amount equal to the applicable Partner’s Net Unreturned Equity in such LTIP Partnership Unit.

(f) No Additional Capital Contributions. Except as provided in Sections 4.1(c), 4.3(a) and 10.5, the Partners shall have no obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or provide any additional funding to the Partnership (whether in the form of loans or otherwise) and no Partner shall have any obligation to restore any deficit that may exist in its Capital Account, either upon a liquidation of the Partnership or otherwise.

(a) The General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests (or options or warrants to acquire Partnership Interests) in the form of Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more series or classes to any Persons at any time or from time to time, on such terms and conditions as the General Partner shall establish in each case in its sole and absolute discretion subject to Delaware law, including, without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each class or series of Partnership Interests, (ii) the right of each class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions, and (iii) the rights of each class or series of Partnership Interest upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided, that, no such Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless either (A) the Partnership Interests are issued pursuant to Section 4.3, or (B) the additional Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners holding Partnership Interests in the same class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such class.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 4.2(a) and 4.3(a), the General Partner may take such steps as it, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to admit any Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership in accordance with Section 12.2 or to issue any Partnership Interests, including, without limitation, amending the Certificate, Exhibit A or any other provision of this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Interests (or options to acquire Partnership Interests) for less than fair market value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the interest of the Partnership and the Partners (for example, and not by way of limitation, the issuance of Partnership Units in connection with a Stock Incentive Plan providing for employee purchases of REIT Stock and corresponding Partnership Units at a discount from fair market value or employee options that have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the REIT Stock and corresponding Partnership Units covered by the option, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise).

4.3 ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES BY THE GENERAL PARTNER

(a) General. The General Partner shall not issue any debt securities, preferred stock, Common Stock, any other class of REIT Stock or rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for preferred stock, Common Stock or any other class of REIT Stock (collectively, “Securities”), other than (1) as payment of the REIT Stock Amount in

connection with a redemption of Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.6, (2) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of other outstanding securities of the General Partner in accordance with the terms of such securities, or (3) to all holders of REIT Stock on a pro rata basis, unless the General Partner shall: (i) in the case of REIT Stock or other equity Securities other than Securities described in clause (ii) below, (A) contribute to the Partnership the proceeds of or consideration (including any property or other non-cash assets) received upon the issuance of such Securities, and (B) receive from the Partnership in consideration for such contributions Partnership Interests with the same terms and conditions, including dividend, dividend priority and liquidation preference, as are applicable to such Securities (including, for purposes of clarification, Partnership Units in the case of any issuance of Common Stock by the General Partner); (ii) in the case of options, warrants or other rights to purchase REIT Stock, or other equity securities convertible into or exchangeable for REIT Stock, (A) contribute to the Partnership the proceeds of or consideration (including any property or other non-cash assets) received upon the issuance of such equity Securities, and (B) receive from the Partnership in consideration for such contributions a number of options, warrants or other rights to purchase Partnership Interests equal to the number of such Securities issued by the General Partner, with equivalent rights, preferences and limitations to the terms of such equity Securities; and (iii) in the case of debt securities, lend to the Partnership the proceeds of or consideration received for such Securities on the same terms and conditions, including interest rate and repayment schedule, as shall be applicable with respect to or incurred in connection with the issuance of such Securities and the proceeds of, or consideration received from, any subsequent exercise, exchange or conversion thereof (if applicable).

(b) Splits. The Partnership shall (i) make a distribution in Partnership Units, (ii) subdivide its outstanding Partnership Units, or (iii) combine its outstanding Partnership Units into a smaller number of Partnership Units, in the event the General Partner takes an analogous action with respect to the Common Stock. The intent of the previous sentence is that one Partnership Unit remains the economic equivalent of one share of Common Stock without dilution. If the General Partner determines that it is necessary or desirable to make any filings under the Act or otherwise in order to reference the existence of such action, the General Partner may cause such filings to be made, which filings might take the form of amendments to the Certificate; provided, however, that, unless specifically required by this Agreement or the Act after giving effect to the terms of this Agreement, no approval or consent of any Partners shall be required in connection with the making of any such filing.

(c) Treatment of Proceeds. If the proceeds actually received by the General Partner in connection with an issuance of Securities by the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such offering, grant, award or issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discounts, commissions or other fees or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such offering, grant, award or issuance, then the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the gross proceeds of such offering, grant, award or issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have paid pursuant to Section 7.3(c) for the amount of such expenses.

4.4 ADDITIONAL FUNDS

(a) The sums of money required to finance the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be derived from the initial Capital Contributions made to the Partnership by the Partners as set forth in Section 4.1 and from funds generated from the operation and business of the Partnership.

(b) In the event additional financing is needed from sources other than as set forth in Section 4.4(a) for any reason, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, in such amounts and at such times as it solely shall determine to be necessary or appropriate:

(i) cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests and admit additional Limited Partners to the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.2;

(ii) make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership (subject to the provisions of Section 4.3(a));

(iii) cause the Partnership to borrow money, enter into loan arrangements, issue debt securities, obtain letters of credit or otherwise borrow money on a secured or unsecured basis;

(iv) make a loan or loans to the Partnership (subject to Section 4.3(a)); or

(v) cause the Partnership to sell any assets or properties directly or indirectly owned by the Partnership.

4.5 NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY

No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or obligations of any Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

4.6 NO INTEREST

No Partner shall be entitled to interest on any Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account.

4.7 NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

(b) issuance or sale of any Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests.

4.8 CAPITAL ACCOUNTS

The Partnership shall establish and maintain throughout the life of the Partnership for each Partner a separate “Capital Account” in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). If (i) a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution, (ii) the Partnership distributes to a Partner more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership Interest, (iii) a new or existing Partner acquires a more than de minimis additional interest in the Partnership as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership in a partner capacity or in anticipation of becoming a partner (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the issuance of any LTIP Partnership Unit), or (iv) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the General Partner shall revalue the property of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). When the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Article 6 if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation.

Article V

DISTRIBUTIONS

5.1 DISTRIBUTIONS

(a) General. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 8.6(c), 11.6(d) and 13.2, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the Partners as of the applicable Partnership Record Date, at such times as the General Partner shall determine, amounts of Available Operating Cash and Net Sales Proceeds in the manner set forth in this Section 5.1.

(b) Available Operating Cash. Available Operating Cash shall be distributed to the Partners as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with their respective Overall Interests as of the applicable Partnership Record Date.

(c) Net Sales Proceeds. Net Sales Proceeds shall be distributed to the Partners as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with their respective Overall Interests as of the applicable Partnership Record Date.

5.2 QUALIFICATION AS A REIT

The General Partner shall take such action as it deems necessary or advisable to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts under this Article 5 to enable the General Partner to pay stockholder dividends that will enable the General Partner to (a) satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code and the Treasury Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”), and (b) avoid any Federal income or excise tax liability; provided, however, the General Partner shall not be bound to comply with this covenant to the extent such distributions would violate applicable Delaware law.

5.3 WITHHOLDING

With respect to any withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation to which the Partnership may be subject as a result of any act by or status of any Partner or to which the Partnership becomes subject with respect to any Partnership Interest, the Partnership shall have the right to withhold amounts of Available Operating Cash or Net Sales Proceeds or other Partnership Assets distributable to such Partner or with respect to such Partnership Interests, to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation pursuant to the provisions contained in Section 10.5.

5.4 ADDITIONAL PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.3, the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.1 shall be amended, as necessary, to reflect any distribution priority of such Partnership Interests and corresponding amendments shall be made to the provisions of Article 6. If a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for a Capital Contribution or otherwise (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any LTIP Partnership Unit) on any date other than a Partnership Record Date, such Partner shall not be entitled to any distributions with respect to such additional Partnership Interest until the first Partnership Record Date following the date of such issuance.

Article VI

ALLOCATIONS

6.1 ALLOCATION OF PROFITS AND LOSSES

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6 and in Section 11.6(c), and after making any special allocations under Section 6.2 and Section 6.3, Profits and Losses for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with their respective Overall Interests as of the end of such Fiscal Year, subject to any rights of holders of Partnership Interests other than Partnership Units.

(b) Adjustment. If the amount of Losses for any Fiscal Year that otherwise would be allocated to a Partner under Section 6.1(a) or this Section 6.1(b) would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Partner as of the last day of such Fiscal Year (after all other allocations have been made pursuant to this Article 6), then such Partner shall be allocated that amount of Losses which does not cause or increase such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, and the remainder of such Losses that would have been allocated to such Partner shall be allocated to the other Partners in proportion to their Overall Interests.

(c) Special Allocation with Respect to Sales. Subject to Section 6.3, Profits (and items thereof) and Losses (and items thereof) for each Fiscal Year or other applicable period from Sales shall be allocated among the Partners such that the ending Adjusted Capital Account

of each Partner, immediately after giving effect to the allocations under this Article 6, is, as nearly as possible, equal to the amount of the hypothetical distribution that such Partner would receive if the Partnership were liquidated on the last day of such period and all assets of the Partnership, including cash, were sold for cash equal to their Carrying Value, all liabilities of the Partnership were satisfied with cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Carrying Value of the assets securing such liability), and Net Sales Proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full pursuant to Section 5.1(c). For purposes of the preceding allocations only, a Partner holding more than one class or series of Partnership Interests or units shall be deemed to be a separate Partner with respect to each such class, series or units.

6.2 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS

Notwithstanding any provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 6.3, the following special allocations shall be made in the following order of priority:

(a) Minimum Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities). Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Fiscal Year, each Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and (j)(2). This subparagraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement in said section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Treasury 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 that Partner’s share of the net decrease in the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent and in the manner required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2). This subparagraph is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. In the event a Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) that causes or increases an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, gross items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner so as to eliminate such

Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible. This subparagraph is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Overall Interests.

(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Partners that bear the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(1).

(f) Definition of “Profits” and “Losses”. “Profits” and “Losses” and any item of income, gain, expense, or loss referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles, as modified by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss shall not include items of income, gain and expense that are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1(b), 6.2(a), 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e), and Section 6.3. All allocations of Profit and Loss (and all items contained therein) for federal income tax purposes shall be identical to all allocations of such items set forth in Section 6.1 and this Section 6.2, except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). The General Partner shall have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Partnership for allocating items of income, gain, and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code including a method that may result in a Partner receiving a disproportionately larger share of the Partnership tax depreciation deductions, and such election shall be binding on all Partners.

(g) Curative Allocations. The allocations set forth in Section 6.1(b) and Sections 6.2(a) through (e) hereof (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible all Regulatory Allocations that are made be offset either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations pursuant to this Section 6.2(g). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6 (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations in whatever manner it determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of the Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Sections 6.1(a), 6.1(c) and 6.3. In exercising its discretion under this Section 6.2(g), the General Partner shall take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 6.2(a) and 6.2(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under Sections 6.2(d) and 6.2(e).

(h) Changes in Interest. If during any Fiscal Year there is a change in any Partner’s Overall Interest, then for purposes of determining the Profits, Losses, or any other items allocable to such Partner for such Fiscal Year, Profits, Losses, and any such other items shall be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

6.3 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS WITH RESPECT TO LTIP PARTNERSHIP UNITS

(a) Liquidating Gains shall first be allocated to the holders of LTIP Partnership Units until the aggregate of the LTIP Economic Balances of the LTIP Partnership Units held by each such holder is equal to (A) the product of (i) the Common Partnership Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of each such holder’s LTIP Partnership Units (with respect to each holder, the “Target Balance”) minus (B) the aggregate Unpaid LTIP Capital Commitments of each such holder; provided, however, that no such Liquidating Gains will be allocated with respect to any particular LTIP Partnership 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 Partnership Unit through the date of such allocation. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, not all LTIP Partnership Units (including Ineligible Units) would achieve Adjusted Parity immediately after an allocation made pursuant to this Section 6.3(a), Liquidating Gains shall be allocated among LTIP Partnership Units in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

(b) If, due to distributions or allocation of Losses with respect to Common Partnership Units in which the LTIP Units do not fully participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the LTIP Economic Balance of the LTIP Partnership Units held by any present or former holder of LTIP Partnership Units, to the extent attributable to the holder’s ownership of LTIP Partnership Units, exceeds such holder’s 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 Partnership Units in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

(c) Forfeiture Allocations. Upon a forfeiture of any Unvested LTIP Partnership Unit by any Partner, gross items of income, gain, loss or deduction shall be allocated to such Partner if and to the extent required by final Treasury Regulations promulgated after the Restatement Date to ensure that allocations made with respect to all Unvested LTIP Partnership Units are recognized under Code Section 704(b).

(d) Special Forfeiture Reallocations. If, in connection with any forfeiture of LTIP Partnership Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the Partner that is attributable to all of his or her LTIP Partnership Units exceeds such Partner’s Target Balance, such portion of such Partner’s Capital Account shall be reduced to the Target Balance, and the LTIP Economic Balance of each such holder’s LTIP Partnership Units shall be deemed to equal the Common Partnership Unit Economic Balance. Otherwise, the Capital Account of the Partner that is attributable to the forfeited LTIP Units shall be reallocated in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

6.4 REVISIONS TO ALLOCATIONS TO REFLECT ISSUANCE OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article 4, the General Partner shall make any such revisions to this Article 6 as it deems necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such Partnership Interests, including making preferential allocations to classes of Partnership Interests that are entitled thereto. Such revisions shall not require the consent or approval of any other Partner.

Article VII

(b) Responsibility for Partnership Expenses. The Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership’s organization and the ownership and operation of the Partnership Assets. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as it may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses that it incurs on behalf of the Partnership relating to the ownership and operation of the Partnership Assets, or for the benefit of the Partnership; provided, that the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Partnership.

Subsidiaries and Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person.

(b) Benefit Plans Sponsored by the Partnership. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt, on behalf of the Partnership, employee benefit plans, option or other equity incentive plans, and similar plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the Partnership, the General Partner, any Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, any Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any of their respective Affiliates.

7.6 INDEMNIFICATION

(a) General. Subject to the limitations of Section 7.6(b), to the maximum extent permitted under the Act in effect from time to time and subject to the limitations of Section II.G. of the NASAA Guidelines, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ 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 (collectively, “Claims”), that relate to the operations of the Partnership, the General Partner or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise; provided, however, that in no event shall this Section 7.6(a) enlarge the indemnification permitted below under Section 7.6(b).

(b) Limitation. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary:

(i) the Partnership will not indemnify any Indemnitee unless:

(A) the Indemnitee has determined in good faith that the course of conduct which caused the loss, liability or expenses was in the best interests of the Partnership;

(B) the Indemnitee was acting on behalf of the Partnership or performing services for the Partnership;

(1) with respect to the General Partner, the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the General Partner;

(2) with respect to any Limited Partner, the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of the Limited Partner;

(3) with respect to the directors, officers and employees of the General Partner, the negligence or misconduct of such Person; or

(4) with respect to the Independent Directors (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation), the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Independent Director; and

(D) any indemnification or agreement to hold harmless may be paid only out of the Net Assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner 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 7.6;

(ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 7.6(b)(ii), the Partnership will not indemnify any Indemnitee for losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless:

(A) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular Indemnitee;

(B) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnitee; or

(C) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular Indemnitee and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related costs should be made, and the court considering the matter has been advised of the position of the Securities Exchange Commission and the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which the securities were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

(c) Contractual Obligations. Without limitation, the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.6 shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee pursuant to a loan guaranty (except a guaranty by a Limited Partner of nonrecourse indebtedness of the Partnership or as otherwise provided in any such loan guaranty), contractual obligation for any indebtedness or other obligation or otherwise for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnification agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.6 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness.

(d) Advancement of Expenses. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final disposition of any and all Claims made or threatened against an Indemnitee only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Claim relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Partnership, (ii) either (A) the Claim was initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the General Partner or

(A) if the Proceeding was initiated by a Stockholder, the initiating Stockholder was acting in his or her capacity as such and the advancement was approved by a court of competent jurisdiction, and (iii) the Indemnitee provides the Partnership with a written undertaking to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Partnership, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee did not comply with the requisite standard of conduct and is not entitled to indemnification.

(e) No Exclusivity. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.6 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 unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitees are indemnified.

(f) Insurance. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the 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.

(g) Benefit Plan Fiduciary. For purposes of this Section 7.6, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by such Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan. Excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.6 and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by such Indemnitee to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership.

(h) No Personal Liability for Partners. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

(i) Interested Transactions. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.6 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.

(j) Benefit. The provisions of this Section 7.6 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.

Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.6, 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.

(l) Indemnification Payments Not Distributions. If and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.6 constitute gross income to the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

(m) Exception to Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Claim for which the General Partner is obligated to indemnify the Partnership under any other agreement between the General Partner and the Partnership.

7.7 LIABILITY OF THE GENERAL PARTNER

(a) General. To the maximum extent permitted under the Act and subject to the limitations of Section II.G. of the NASAA Guidelines in effect from time to time, neither the General Partner nor any director, officer, shareholder, partner, member or employee, trustee, representative or agent of the General Partner shall be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for (i) any act or omission performed or failed to be performed by it, or for any losses, claims, costs, damages, or liabilities arising from any such act or omission, except to the extent such loss, claim, cost damage or liability results from such Person’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud, (ii) any tax liability imposed on the Partnership or (iii) any losses due to the misconduct, negligence (gross or ordinary), dishonesty or bad faith of any agents of the Partnership.

(c) Conflict. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that in the event of any conflict in the fiduciary duties owed by the General Partner to its stockholders and by the General Partner, in its capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, to the Limited Partners, the General Partner may act in the best interests of the General Partner’s stockholders without

violating its fiduciary duties to the Limited Partners, and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by the Limited Partners in connection with any such violation.

(d) Amendment of this Section 7.7.

In addition to the other rights provided by this Agreement and any rights granted to limited partners of a limited partnership under the Act that such limited partners are not permitted to waive under the Act, and except as limited by Section 8.5(b) hereof, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’s own expense (including such reasonable copying and administrative charges as the General Partner may establish from time to time):

(b) Confidentiality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information, the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership or could damage the Partnership or its business; or (ii) the Partnership is required by law or by agreements with an unaffiliated third party to keep confidential.

8.6 REDEMPTION OF COMMON PARTNERSHIP UNITS

(a) Series A Redemption Right. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.6, at any time on or after the first anniversary date of the issuance of Common Series A Units to a Partner, such Partner shall have the right (the “Series A Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of such Common Series A Units held by such Partner, at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Redemption Amount. The Series A Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Series A Notice of Redemption Request delivered to the General Partner by the Partner who is exercising the Series A Redemption Right.

(b) Series B Redemption Request. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.6, at any time on or after the conversion of LTIP Partnership Units into Common Series B Units, the

recipient of such Common Series B Units may request (the “Series B Redemption Request”) that the Partnership redeem on a Specified Redemption Date all or a portion of such Common Series B Units, at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the REIT Stock Amount and the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may grant such Series B Redemption Request. The Series B Redemption Request shall be made pursuant to a Series B Notice of Redemption Request delivered to the General Partner by the Partner who is making the Redemption Request.

(i) Subject to Section 8.6(d), a Partner who has exercised a Series A Redemption Right or with respect to which a Series B Redemption Request has been granted (the “Redeeming Partner”) shall have no right to receive any distributions that are paid after the Specified Redemption Date with respect to any Partnership Units redeemed pursuant to this Section 8.6.

(ii) If any Partnership Interest is redeemed (other than pursuant to Section 8.6(d)) on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Profit, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated to the Redeeming Partner by taking into account the Redeeming Partner’s ownership of such Partnership Interest during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly or monthly proration period, in which event Profits, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such redeemed Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be prorated based upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner).

(d) General Partner Assumption of Obligation. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6(a), the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of shares of REIT Stock in the Articles of Incorporation), assume directly the obligation to satisfy a Series A Redemption Right or a granted Series B Redemption Request and satisfy such Series A Redemption Right or granted Series B Redemption Request by paying to the Redeeming Partner the Redemption Amount on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. In the event that the General Partner shall exercise this right to satisfy the Series A Redemption Right or the Series B Redemption Request in the manner described in the preceding sentence and shall fully perform its obligation to pay the Redemption Amount on the Specified Redemption Date, the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the Series A Redemption Right or the making of the Series B Redemption Request, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership and the General Partner shall treat the transaction between the General Partner and the Redeeming Partner as a sale of the Redeeming Partner’s Partnership Units to the General Partner for Federal income tax purposes. Distributions and allocations with respect to Partnership Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6(d) shall be made in accordance with Sections 11.6(c) and 11.6(d).

(e) Fractional Shares. If the General Partner elects, either on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership, to satisfy the Series A Redemption Right or a granted Series B Redemption Request by paying the REIT Stock Amount, and the REIT Stock Amount is not equal to a whole number of shares of REIT Stock, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid (i) that number of shares of REIT Stock which equals the nearest whole number less than the REIT Stock Amount, plus (ii) (A) an amount of cash equal to the Value of one share of REIT Stock on the applicable Valuation Date, multiplied by (B) the REIT Stock Amount minus the whole number of shares of REIT Stock pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.6(e).

(f) Execution of Documents. Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with (i) the exercise and satisfaction of the Series A Redemption Right or grant of a Series B Redemption Request (as applicable), (ii) any assumption by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6(d), and (iii) any issuance of REIT Stock in connection with the Partnership or the General Partner paying the Redemption Amount to the Redeeming Partner.

(g) Exceptions to Series A Redemption Right. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6(a), unless the General Partner elects for payment of the Redemption Amount by the Partnership to be the Cash Amount, a Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Series A Redemption Right if the delivery of REIT Stock to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date would (i) be prohibited under the Articles of Incorporation or the bylaws of the General Partner, (ii) adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code, (iii) constitute or be likely to constitute a violation of any applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations, or (iv) be prohibited under Section 11.6(f) (in each case regardless of whether the General Partner would in fact assume and satisfy the Series A Redemption Right).

(h) Exercise of the Series A Redemption Right by the General Partner. The receipt of a notice of redemption with respect to shares of REIT Stock held by stockholders of the General Partner (a “REIT Notice”) shall be deemed to be a Series A Notice of Redemption Request given by the General Partner to the Partnership. The redemption by the REIT of REIT Stock pursuant to a REIT Notice shall be deemed an exercise of the Series A Redemption Right with respect to a number of Partnership Units equal to the number of shares of REIT Stock identified in the REIT Notice. With respect to any Series A Redemption Right exercised by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6(h), the General Partner will elect for payment of the Redemption Amount by the Partnership to the General Partner to be the Cash Amount.

(i) Assignees. The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6 with respect to any Partnership Units Transferred by such Limited Partner to such Assignee, and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of such rights by such Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Limited Partner, the Redemption Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.

(j) No Liens on Partnership Units Delivered for Redemption. Each Partner covenants and agrees that all Partnership Units delivered for redemption pursuant to this

Section 8.6 shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, free and clear of all Liens. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to acquire Partnership Units which are or may be subject to any Liens. Each Partner further agrees that, if any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the Transfer of its Partnership Units to the Partnership or the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6, such Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax.

(k) Cancellation of Units; Amendments to Exhibit A. Upon the redemption of Partnership Units pursuant to this Section 8.6, (i) all such redeemed Partnership Units (other than Partnership Units redeemed pursuant to Section 8.6(d)) shall be cancelled, and (ii) the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the new Percentage Interests of the Partners and to (A) either adjust the number of Partnership Units and the Percentage Interest of the Redeeming Partner or eliminate the Redeeming Partner from Exhibit A, as applicable, and (B) in the event that the General Partner assumes the obligation to satisfy a Series A Redemption Right or a granted Series B Redemption Request pursuant to Section 8.6(d), adjust the number of Partnership Units and the Percentage Interest of the General Partner to reflect the Transfer of such Partnership Units to the General Partner.

(l) Additional Partnership Interests. If the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article 4, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.6 as the General Partner determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such Partnership Interests (including setting forth any restrictions on the exercise of the Series A Redemption Right with respect to such Partnership Interests).

8.7 REDEMPTION OF LTIP SERIES C PARTNERSHIP UNITS

(a) In general. Subject to Section 4.1(e), if any LTIP Series C Partnership Unit is forfeited under the terms of the award agreement pursuant to which it was granted, the Partnership shall redeem such forfeited LTIP Series C Unit within [thirty (30)] Business Days for an amount in cash (not less than zero) equal to the holder’s aggregate capital contributions made or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 4.1(c) in respect of the LTIP Capital Commitment for such LTIP Series C Partnership Unit, minus the sum of (i) the aggregate amount of Net Loss allocated to such unit (but only to the extent that the amount of such Net Loss exceeds the aggregate amount of Net Profit allocated to such unit) and (ii) the aggregate distributions made with respect to such unit.

(b) The provisions of subsections (c), (f), (j) and (k) of Section 8.6 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to redemptions made pursuant to this Section 8.7.

10.3 TAX MATTERS PARTNER

(a) General. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section 6223(c)(3) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the Internal Revenue Service of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the Internal Revenue Service with the name, address, taxpayer identification number, and profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and the Assignees; provided, that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners and the Assignees.

(b) Powers. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required:

(i) to enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue Service 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:

(A) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and the Treasury Regulations) files a statement with the Internal Revenue Service providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner; or

(ii) 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 Tax Court or the filing of a complaint for refund with the United States Claims Court or the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located;

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 fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless:

(i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner; or

(ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner.

Any amounts withheld from amounts otherwise distributable to a Limited Partner as described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 10.5(b) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner.

(c) Security Interest. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5.

(d) Default. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay when due any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner. Without limitation, in such event, the General Partner shall have the right to receive distributions that would otherwise be distributable to such defaulting Limited Partner until such time as such loan, together with all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been distributed to the defaulting Limited Partner and immediately paid by the defaulting Limited Partner to the General Partner in repayment of such loan.

11.3 LIMITED PARTNERS’ RIGHTS TO TRANSFER

(a) General. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.3(b), no Limited Partner shall have the right to Transfer all or a portion of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s rights as a Limited Partner, without the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Transfers to Permitted Transferees. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.3(a), but subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), and 11.3(e) and other applicable restrictions on Transfers contained in this Article 11, a Limited Partner may Transfer, with or without the consent of the General Partner, all or a portion of his Common Partnership Units to a Permitted Transferee; provided that such Permitted Transferee must qualify as an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act; and provided further that, no Transfer pursuant to this Section 11.3(b) shall be effective until the General Partner receives notice of such Transfer.

(c) No Transfers Violating Securities Laws. The General Partner may prohibit any Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such Transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act, or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units.

(d) No Transfers to Certain Lenders. No Transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.

(e) Additional Prohibited Transfers. No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person if:

(i) in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, it would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code;

(ii) in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, it would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;

(iii) such Transfer would subject the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended or ERISA;

(iv) such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code; or

(v) such Transfer is to a Prohibited Transferee.

(f) Incapacitated Limited Partners. If a Limited Partner is Incapacitated, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all of 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 his or its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

(g) Transfers of LTIP Series C Units. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no transfers of LTIP Series C Units shall be permitted, other than transfers of such units (i) [by operation of law] or (ii) to the Partnership or the General Partner.

11.4 SUBSTITUTED LIMITED PARTNERS

(a) Consent of the General Partner. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a Permitted Transferee in such Limited Partner’s place. The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a Permitted Transferee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substitute Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit such transferee to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner.

(b) Rights of a Substituted Limited Partner. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this

Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be conditioned upon the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.6, and such other documents or instruments as may be required in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as a Substituted Limited Partner.

(c) Amendments to Exhibit A. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner.

11.5 ASSIGNEES

If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.4(a), such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Profit, Losses and any other items of gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners for a vote (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners are voted). In the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all of 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.

11.6 GENERAL PROVISIONS

(a) Withdrawal of a Limited Partner. 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 pursuant to which the transferee is admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner or a redemption of all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner pursuant to Sections 4.1(e), 8.6 or 8.7.

(b) Termination of Status as a Limited Partner. Any Limited Partner that Transfers all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units (or other Partnership Interests) in a Transfer pursuant to which the transferee is admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, or (ii) redeems all of such Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner pursuant to Sections 4.1(e), 8.6 or 8.7 shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

(c) Allocations. If any Partnership Interest is Transferred during the Partnership’s Fiscal Year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 (including Transfers to the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6(d)) on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Profit, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the

transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly or monthly proration period, in which event Profits, Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such transferred Partnership Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be prorated based upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner).

(d) Distributions. All distributions of Available Operating Cash, Net Sales Proceeds or other Partnership Assets attributable to Partnership Units, with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of a Transfer of such Partnership Units (including any Transfer to the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6(d)), shall be made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Operating Cash, Net Sales Proceeds or other Partnership Assets thereafter attributable to such Partnership Units shall be made to the transferee Partner.

(e) Capital Accounts. The original Capital Account established for each transferee shall be in the same amount as the Capital Account or portion thereof of the Partner to which such transferee succeeds, at the time such transferee is admitted to the Partnership. The Capital Account of any Partner that is a party to a Transfer of all or all or any portion of a Partnership Interest shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such Transfer. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of, or distribution to, a then-Partner shall include a Capital Contribution or distribution previously made by or to any prior Partner on account of the Partnership Interest of such then-Partner.

(f) Additional Restrictions. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement, in no event may any Transfer of a Partnership Interest by any Partner or any redemption pursuant to Section 8.6 be made without the express consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (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) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for Federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (v) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes (except as a result of a redemption of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such Transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code (provided that this clause (vii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting in any manner the exercise of the Series A Redemption Right or the denial of a Series B Redemption Request under Section 8.6 unless, and only to the extent that, outside tax counsel advises the General Partner that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation); (viii) if such Transfer would cause the General Partner to own 10% or more of the ownership interests of any tenant of a property held by the Partnership within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of

the Code; (ix) if such Transfer would result in the General Partner being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code; or (x) if in the opinion of the General Partner based on the advice of legal counsel, if appropriate, such Transfer would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Sections 857 or 4981 of the Code.

Article XII

ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

12.1 ADMISSION OF SUCCESSOR GENERAL PARTNER

A successor to all of the General Partner Interest pursuant to Article 11 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective immediately following the successor General Partner’s execution and delivery to the Partnership of an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate to effect such Person’s admission as General Partner. In the case of such admission on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, all items attributable to the General Partner Interest for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated between the transferring General Partner and such successor as provided in Section 11.6(c) hereof. Any such successor General Partner shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution.

12.2 ADMISSION OF ADDITIONAL LIMITED PARTNERS

(a) General. A Person other than the General Partner who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement shall be admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon executing and delivering to the General Partner:

(i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.6 hereof; and

(ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner.

(b) General Partner’s Consent Required. 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 General Partner, which consent may be given or withheld in the 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 General Partner to such admission and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.2(a).

(c) Allocations to Additional Limited Partners. If any Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Fiscal Year, then Profit,

Losses, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Fiscal Year shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by taking into account their varying interests during the Fiscal Year in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method. 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 of the Partners and Assignees, including such Additional Limited Partner.

12.3 AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT AND CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

For the admission to the Partnership of any Partner, the 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 2.6 hereof.

Article XIII

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

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 General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Subject to Section 13.1(b), upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, only upon the first to occur of any of the following (“Liquidating Events”):

(a) the expiration of its term as provided in Section 2.5 hereof;

(b) an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act (other than an event of bankruptcy), unless, within ninety (90) days after such event of withdrawal, a “majority in interest” (as defined below) of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a successor General Partner;

(d) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

(e) the occurrence of a Terminating Sale Transaction; or

(f) a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner or the Partnership is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final

and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner or the Partnership, in each case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment a “majority in interest” (as defined below) of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner, if applicable.

As used in this Article 13, a “majority in interest” shall refer to Partners (excluding the General Partner) who hold Common Partnership Units that constitute more than fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate number of outstanding Common Partnership Units not held by the General Partner.

13.2 WINDING UP; LIQUIDATION

(a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be wound up as provided in this Section 13.2. The General Partner shall act as the “Liquidator” (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the total number of Common Partnership Units then issued and outstanding). The Liquidator shall wind up the affairs of the Partnership, shall dispose of such Partnership Assets as it deems necessary or appropriate and shall pay and distribute the assets of the Partnership, including the proceeds of any such disposition, as follows:

(i) first, to creditors, including Partners who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of liabilities of the Partnership (whether by payment or by establishment or reserves as determined by the Liquidator in its sole discretion), other than distributions to Partners pursuant to Article 5, and

(ii) second, to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances.

It is intended that such distributions will result in the Partners receiving aggregate distributions in the order of and equal to the amount of distributions that would have been received if the liquidating distributions were made in accordance with Section 5.1. However, if the balances in the Capital Accounts do not result in such intention being satisfied, items of Profits and Losses will be reallocated among the Partners for the Fiscal Year of the liquidation (and, at the election of the General Partner, if necessary and permissible, prior Fiscal Years) so as to cause the balances in the Capital Accounts to be in the amounts necessary to assure that such result is achieved. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), liquidation distributions shall be made by the end of the taxable year in which the Partnership liquidates or, if later, within ninety (90) days of the date of such liquidation.

(b) In the discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

(i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts

owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership; the assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator, in the same proportions as the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or

(ii) 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 General Partner and Limited Partners in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section 13.2(a) as soon as practicable.

(c) The Liquidator shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to sell any Partnership Assets, including, without limitation, Real Estate Assets, and if so, whether at a public or private sale, for what price and on what terms. If the Liquidator determines to sell or otherwise dispose of any Partnership Asset or any interest therein, the Liquidator shall do so expeditiously and for its fair market value under the circumstances, giving due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions. If the Liquidator determines not to sell or otherwise dispose of any Partnership Asset or any interest therein, the Liquidator shall not be required to distribute the same to the Partners promptly but shall have full right and discretion to determine the time and manner of such distribution and distributions giving due regard to the interests of the Partners.

13.3 NO OBLIGATION TO CONTRIBUTE DEFICIT

If any Partner has a deficit balance in his Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner 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.

13.4 NOTICE OF DISSOLUTION

In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for the provisions of an election or objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within thirty (30) days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners.

13.5 TERMINATION OF PARTNERSHIP AND CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATE OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets, as provided in Section 13.2, the Partnership shall be terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed, and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the state of Delaware shall be canceled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken.

13.6 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 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect among the Partners during the period of liquidation.

13.7 WAIVER OF PARTITION

Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote the holders of Partnership Units that constitute more than fifty percent (50%) (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement) of the aggregate number of outstanding Common Partnership Units held by the Partners (including the General Partner). Such consent shall be filed with the General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date of the consent as certified by the General Partner.

(d) Proxy. Each Partner may authorize any Person or Persons to act for him 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. Every proxy must be signed by the Partner or his attorney-in-fact and a copy thereof delivered to the Partnership. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective upon the General Partner’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the Partner executing such proxy.

(e) Conduct of Meeting. Each meeting of the Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate. Meetings of Partners may be conducted in the same manner as meetings of the stockholders of the General Partner and may be held at the same time, and as part of, meetings of the stockholders of the General Partner.
