Section 10.3 Indemnification Procedures

(a) If a claim, action, suit or proceeding by a Person who is not a party hereto or an Affiliate thereof (a “Third Party Claim”) is made against any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof (an “Indemnified Party”), and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under this Article 10, or if any Indemnified Party otherwise determines that it wishes to seek indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, such Indemnified Party shall, in the case of a Member Indemnitee or Barceloneta Member Indemnitee, promptly notify Parent REIT and Parent OP and, in the case of a Parent Indemnitee, promptly notify the Representative (such notified party, the “Responsible Party”) of such claims; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Responsible Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Responsible Party is actually prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, identify the basis under which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 10.2 and, if applicable, enclose true and correct copies of any written document furnished to the Indemnified Party by the Person that instituted the Third Party Claim.

(b) Parent REIT or Parent OP shall have thirty (30) days after receiving notice from any Indemnified Party of any Third Party Claim which seeks solely cash damages (and does not include any request for specific performance, or injunctive or other equitable relief) (a “Parent Assumable Claim”) to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Representative at the expense of Parent REIT or Parent OP, of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Responsible Party in connection therewith. Parent REIT or Parent OP shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party and shall not be indemnified hereunder as a Loss). So long as Parent REIT or Parent OP is reasonably contesting (or causing any of its Subsidiaries to reasonably contest) any such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such Third Party Claim without the consent of Parent REIT or Parent OP (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent REIT and Parent OP shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Third Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment. If Parent REIT does not elect to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest the Third Party Claim without waiving its right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim or consent to any judgment without the prior written consent of Parent REIT or Parent OP (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) In the event that Parent REIT or Parent OP receives notice from any Indemnified Party of a Third Party Claim that is not a Parent Assumable Claim, Parent REIT or Parent OP shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense thereof through counsel chosen by Parent REIT or Parent OP (the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by Parent REIT or Parent OP and shall not be indemnified hereunder as a Loss) and the Indemnified Party shall not settle any such Third Party Claim or consent to any judgment without the consent of Parent REIT or Parent OP (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) The Representative shall have thirty (30) days after receiving notice from any Indemnified Party of any Third Party Claim which seeks solely cash damages (and does not include any request for specific performance, or injunctive or other equitable relief) and the maximum liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and all other pending unresolved indemnity claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a) does not exceed the value of the Escrow Cash and Escrow Units then held in the Escrow Account (valued at the Parent Closing Price (a “Representative Assumable Claim”) to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to Parent REIT and Parent OP at the expense of the Representative (not to be paid out of or reimbursed from the Escrow Account) of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Representative in connection therewith. The Representative shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party (the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party and shall not be indemnified hereunder as a Loss). So long as the Representative is reasonably contesting (or causing any of its Subsidiaries to reasonably contest) any such Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative shall not, except with the consent of Parent REIT and Parent OP enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the Person(s) asserting such Third Party Claim to all Indemnified Parties an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment. If the Representative does not elect to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Parent Indemnitees shall have the right to contest the Third Party Claim without waiving their right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) In the event the Representative receives notice from any Indemnified Party of a Third Party Claim that is not a Representative Assumable Claim, the Representative shall have the right to participate in the settlement or defense thereof through counsel chosen by the Representative (the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Representative and shall not be payable out of the Escrow Account) and Parent Indemnitee shall not settle any such Third Party Claim or consent to any judgment without the consent of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, no Parent Indemnitee shall directly or indirectly settle, compromise or consent to any judgment of any Third Party Claim for which such Parent Indemnitee may be entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether it is a Representative Assumable Claim or whether the Representative has received notice thereof or elected to exercise or waive its rights to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense thereof, without the prior written consent of the Representative (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and in the event of any such settlement, compromise or consent to judgment without the prior written consent of the Representative, the Parent Indemnitees and their respective Affiliates shall have no further rights (and shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any such rights) to indemnification hereunder, whether from the Escrow Account or otherwise.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement to the contrary, the Representative shall not directly or indirectly settle, compromise or consent to any judgment of any Third Party Claim for which the Member Indemnitee or the Barceloneta Member Indemnitee, as applicable, may be entitled to seek indemnification hereunder, regardless of whether the Parent Indemnitees have received notice thereof or elected to exercise or waive their rights to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense thereof, without the prior written consent of the Parent REIT or Parent OP (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and in the event of any such settlement, compromise or consent to judgment without the prior written consent of Parent REIT or Parent OP, the Member Indemnitees and the Barceloneta Member Indemnitees, as applicable, and their respective Affiliates shall have no further rights (and shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any such rights) to indemnification hereunder.

(h) The parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, except for any claim by the Parent Parties against a Contributor for the Fraud of such Contributor or any claim by the Parent Parties against a Barceloneta Contributor for the Fraud of such Barceloneta Contributor, from and after Closing, indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any party hereto and each of its respective Affiliates (including, in the case of the Parent Parties after the Closing, the Group Companies and Barceloneta) for any misrepresentation or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision or agreement contained in this Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement, in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, thereto or otherwise (including, without limitation, with respect to any matters arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any other environmental matters) and for any and all other claims arising under, out of or related to this Agreement, the negotiation or execution hereof, or the Contemplated Transactions, and no party hereto or any of its respective Affiliates (including, in the case of the Parent Parties after the Closing, the Group Companies and Barceloneta) shall have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, at law or in equity, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse (other than with respect to any claim by the Parent Parties against a Contributor for the Fraud of such Contributor or any claim by the Parent Parties against a Barceloneta Contributor for the Fraud of such Barceloneta Contributor) are expressly waived and released by the parties hereto, on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates (including, in the case of the Parent Parties after the Closing, the Group Companies and Barceloneta), to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided, in each case, that (x) disputes as to financial matters referred to in Section 2.3(d) shall be resolved solely in accordance with Section 2.3(d) and (y) disputes as to financial matters referred to in Section 2.3(b) of the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement shall be resolved solely in accordance with Section 2.3(b) of the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement.

Section 10.7 Manner of Payment; Escrow

(a) The Escrow Agent shall accept the deposit of the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash and shall administer the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash and release Escrow Units and Escrow Cash in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, if applicable, the Escrow Agreement, (i) any indemnification of the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(a) shall, except as otherwise provided herein, be effected by the Escrow Agent’s delivery to such Parent Indemnitees (subject to Section 10.7(e)) of an amount of Escrow Cash and/or Escrow Units (rounded to the nearest whole Escrow Unit and valued at the Parent Closing Price (with no issuance of fractional Escrow Units)) that are, together, equal in value to the amount of such Parent Indemnitees’ indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) with the composition of Escrow Cash and Escrow Units being determined by the Representative, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof, (ii) any indemnification of the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(b) or Section 10.2(c) shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the applicable Persons to an account designated in writing by the applicable Parent Indemnitees, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof and (iii) any indemnification of the Member Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(d) or the Barceloneta Member Indemnities pursuant to Section 10.2(e) shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the applicable Persons to an account designated in writing by the applicable Member Indemnitees or Barceloneta Member Indemnities, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination thereof.

(c) Any Escrow Units and Escrow Cash remaining in the Escrow Account as of the Survival Period Termination Date (minus the maximum aggregate amount (valuing any Escrow Units at their Parent Closing Price) which shall be retained in Escrow Units and/or Escrow Cash in the proportion requested by the Representative, if any, of claims asserted in accordance with this Article 10 by the Parent Indemnitees against the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 10.2(a) that are not fully resolved as of the Survival Period Termination Date) shall be released to the Representative on the Survival Period Termination Date and the Representative and Parent OP shall deliver joint written instructions instructing the Escrow Agent to deliver such Escrow Units from the Escrow Account to the Representative for further distribution to the Contributors. To the extent that, as a result of resolution of pending claims, the value of the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash held in the Escrow Account (valued at the Parent Closing Price) exceeds, at any time following the Survival Period Termination Date, the aggregate amount of claims then outstanding by the Parent Indemnitees against the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 10.2(a), such excess Escrow Units and/or Escrow Cash (at the Representative’s election) shall be promptly released to the Representative for further distribution to the Contributors.

(d) During the period in which the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash are retained in the Escrow Account, the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash will be held for the benefit of the applicable Contributors (and the applicable Contributors shall be entitled to vote and to receive, and the Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to the Representative for further distribution to the Contributors, all cash dividends and cash distributions on such Escrow Units and all interest on such Escrow Cash, which dividends and interest shall be income of the applicable Contributors for Tax purposes), except to the extent it has been finally determined that any Parent Indemnitee is entitled to recover such Escrow Units in respect of indemnification claims pursuant to this Article 10. Any distributions on such Escrow Units made in the form of Parent OP Common Units will be deemed to have been contributed by the Escrow Agent, on behalf of each applicable Contributor, to New Company in exchange for an equal number of New Company Common Units to be issued in the name of such Contributor.

(e) The Representative and Parent OP shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to make all deliveries of Escrow Units and Escrow Cash from the Escrow Account expressly provided for herein and the Escrow Agreement. In the event the Escrow Agent is required to deliver any Escrow Units or Escrow Cash to a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, such Escrow Cash shall be allocated by the Escrow Agent among the Escrow Cash of the Contributors in proportion to their respective Applicable Percentage Interest as set forth on Annex D and such Escrow Units shall be allocated by the Escrow Agent among the Escrow Units of the Contributors in proportion to their respective Escrow Unit Payment Percentage Interest as set forth on Annex G.

(f) The parties hereto agree that for Tax purposes: (i) the Contributors shall be treated as the owners of the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash, (ii) the initial amount distributed to the Contributors in consideration of the Contributions shall include the Escrow Units and Escrow Cash and (iii) the return to Parent Indemnitees of Escrow Units and/or Escrow Cash upon settlement of claims in accordance with Article 10 shall be treated as a reduction to the amount distributed to the Contributors in consideration of the Contributions.”

23. Entire Agreement; Assignment.

(a) This Amendment, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto respecting the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements among the parties hereto respecting the same. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, liabilities and obligations respecting the subject matter hereof exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and provisions of this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or are entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Furthermore, the parties hereto each hereby acknowledges that this Amendment embodies the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations; all parties to this Amendment specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of ordinary parties in an arm’s-length transaction. The sole and exclusive remedies for any breach of the terms and provisions of this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including any representations and warranties set forth herein, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, made in connection herewith, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents) or any claim or cause of action otherwise arising out of or related to the Contemplated Transactions shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents); and each party hereto hereby agrees that no party hereto shall have any remedies or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort) for any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement, the Barceloneta Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims by any Parent Party against any Contributor, to the extent arising from the Fraud of such Contributor, shall not be prohibited by this Section 23.

(b) This Amendment may not be assigned by any party (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Parent REIT, Parent OP, the Company and the Representative. Any attempted assignment of this Amendment not in accordance with the terms of this Section 23 shall be void; provided, however, that so long as such assignment would not prevent or materially impair or delay the Closing of the Contemplated Transactions, Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub may assign this Amendment and any of their rights under this Amendment to one or more Affiliates of Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub; provided, that any such assignment shall not relieve Parent REIT, Parent OP or Parent Sub of any of their obligations hereunder.

24. Governing Law. This Amendment, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Amendment, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Amendment (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Amendment or as an inducement to enter into this Amendment), shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware as applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely within the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles or rules.

25. Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement or Annex E thereof, whether or not the Closing is consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Amendment, the Contribution Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

26. Construction; Interpretation. The term “this Amendment” means this Amendment together with all schedules, exhibits and annexes hereto, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified, supplemented or restated in accordance with the terms hereof. The headings contained in this Amendment are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment. No party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Amendment for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Amendment shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party hereto. Unless otherwise indicated to the contrary herein by the context or use thereof: (i) the words, “herein”, “hereto”, “hereof” and words of similar import refer to this Amendment as a whole, including, without limitation, the Schedules, exhibits and annexes, and not to any particular section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph or clause contained in this Amendment; (ii) masculine gender shall also include the feminine and neutral genders, and vice versa; and (iii) words importing the singular shall also include the plural, and vice versa.

27. Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules. All exhibits, annexes and Schedules, or documents expressly incorporated into this Amendment, are hereby incorporated into this Amendment and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Amendment. The specification of any dollar amount in this Amendment or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Amendment.

28. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Amendment is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions of this Amendment shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Contemplated Transactions (as amended hereby) is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

29. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Amendment.

30. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action, or cause of action (i) arising under this Amendment or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect of this Amendment or any of the transactions related hereto, in each case, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity, or otherwise. Each party hereto hereby further agrees and consents that any such claim, demand, action, or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury and that the parties hereto may file a copy of this Amendment with any court as written evidence of the consent of the parties hereto to the waiver of their right to trial by jury.

31. Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the parties hereto (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Delaware, in any action or proceeding (whether in contract or tort) arising out of or relating to this Amendment, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Amendment (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Amendment or as an inducement to enter into this Amendment), (ii) agrees that all such claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any such action or proceeding in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other parties hereto with respect thereto. Each of the parties hereto agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address of the party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 12.2 of the Contribution Agreement. Nothing in this Section 31, however, shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each party hereto agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

ARTICLE 4

MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY.

4.1. Management of the Company’s Affairs.

(a) The management of the Company shall be vested exclusively in LP Units Manager, LLC, which is hereby appointed as the Manager effective as of the date hereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Manager shall have full and exclusive power and discretion to, and shall, manage the business and affairs of the Company only in accordance with this Agreement. The Manager shall not resign, may not assign or delegate its responsibilities to any other Person, and shall serve as such until such time, if any, as the Manager is otherwise removed and replaced or the Company is dissolved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Manager shall devote such time to the affairs of the Company as is reasonably necessary to manage the Company as set forth in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 4.1 eliminates, limits or otherwise modifies any of the express terms of this Agreement or any liability, obligation or covenant of any Person hereunder.

(b) The Manager shall have no authority to take or authorize the taking of any action in contravention of any express term of this Agreement.

B-6

(d) No Person dealing with the Company or the Manager shall be required to determine, and any such Person may conclusively assume and rely upon, the authority of the Manager to execute any instrument or make any undertaking on behalf of the Company. No Person dealing with the Company or the Manager shall be required to determine any facts or circumstances bearing upon the existence of such authority. Without limitation of the foregoing, any Person dealing with the Company or the Manager is entitled to rely upon a certificate signed by the Manager as to:

(i) the identity of the Members;

(ii) the existence or non-existence of any fact or facts that constitute a condition precedent to acts by the Manager or are in any other manner germane to the affairs of the Company;

(iii) the identity of Persons who are authorized to execute and deliver any instrument or document of or on behalf of the Company; or

(iv) any act or failure to act by the Company or any other matter whatsoever involving the Company or the Members.

ARTICLE 5

COMPANY UNITS; CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS

5.1. Capital Structure.

(a) The Company is authorized to issue equity interests in the Company designated as “Company Units,” which shall constitute limited liability company interests under the Act (the “Company Units”). As of the date hereof, the Company has no outstanding Company Units. Pursuant to the terms of the Contribution Agreement, at the Closing the Company shall issue Company Units and Schedule I hereto shall be revised to reflect such issuance. The Company Units will have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions as set forth herein. Each Company Unit is intended to represent the same rights, powers, and obligations of the Parent OP Unit that will be deemed to be contributed by a Member to the Company (which will be set forth on Schedule I hereto), with the intention that the capital structure will represent, to the maximum extent possible, the same right to receive allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit (for purposes of determining both Capital Accounts and for U.S. federal income tax purposes) and distributions that a Member would possess if the Member directly owned the Parent OP Units to be contributed to the Company.

B-7

(b) The name of each Member and the number of Company Units held by each such Member as well as the Parent OP Units to be held by the Company for the benefit of such Member will be set forth on Schedule I hereto, as such schedule may be amended from time to time to reflect, among other things the admission of new Members, additional issuances of Company Units to the Members and transfers of Company Units.

(c) The Company Units will not be certificated and will be represented solely by book-entry. The Manager shall maintain a list of the holders of Company Units and the Parent OP Units to be contributed by such Member in the same manner as the Parent OP maintains a list of the holders of Parent OP Units. The Manager shall maintain this list in a manner that shall separately track and identify the Company Units of a Member as corresponding to the Parent OP Units to be contributed by such Member.

(d) In the event of any change in the outstanding number of Parent OP Units by reason of any share dividend, split, reverse split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or combination by the Parent OP, the number of Company Units to be held by each Member shall be proportionately adjusted such that, to the extent possible, one Company Unit remains the equivalent of one Parent OP Unit without dilution or accretion.

5.2. Capital Contributions.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the Act, no Manager or Member shall be obligated to make any contribution of capital to the Company or have any liability for the debts and obligations of the Company.
