a grantor trust, or a disregarded entity), each of BHR, Inc., BHR Partners, BHR
Business Trust, and BHR BT, Inc.  Because the Company will be treated as the
owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes of any Partnership Interests owned by
any member of the Company Group, the Partnership shall maintain a Capital

(i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares or
makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Shares in REIT
Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding REIT Shares, or (iii) combines its
outstanding REIT Shares into a smaller number of REIT Shares, the Conversion
Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on
the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination
(assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or
combination has occurred as of such time), and the denominator of which shall be
the actual number of REIT Shares (determined without the above assumption)
issued and outstanding on such date, and provided further, that in the event
that an entity other than an Affiliate of the Company shall become General
Partner pursuant to any merger, consolidation or combination of the Company with
or into another entity (the “Successor Entity”), the Conversion Factor shall be
adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by the number of shares of the
Successor Entity into which one REIT Share is converted pursuant to such merger,
consolidation or combination, determined as of the date of such merger,
consolidation or combination.  Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall
become effective immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive
to the record date, if any, for such event; provided, however, that if the
General Partner receives an Exchange Notice after the record date, but prior to
the effective date of such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination,
the Conversion Factor shall be determined as if the General Partner had received
the Exchange Notice immediately prior to the record date for such dividend,
distribution, subdivision or combination; and provided further, however, that if
the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, causes the Partnership
to make a distribution of Partnership Units or to subdivide or combine the
outstanding Partnership Units in order to give equivalent effect to a dividend
or distribution of REIT Shares or a subdivision or combination or REIT Shares,
then the Conversion Factor shall remain the factor which it was immediately
prior to such dividend or distribution of REIT Shares or subdivision or
combination of REIT Shares.

dismissed within 90 days); (ii) the insolvency or bankruptcy of such Person as
finally determined by a court proceeding; (iii) the filing by such Person of a
petition or application to accomplish the same or for the appointment of a
receiver or a trustee for such Person or a substantial part of his assets; and

liquidation law of any jurisdiction, whether now in existence or hereinafter in
effect, either by such Person or by another, provided, that if such proceeding

Partner or the Original Limited Partners unless:

 

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(1)           the additional Partnership Interests are issued in connection with
an issuance of REIT Shares or other interests in, the Company, which shares or
interests have designations, preferences and other rights such that the economic
interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and other
rights of the additional Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner or
the Original Limited Partners by the Partnership in accordance with this
Section 4.02, and the General Partner, on its own or with the Original Limited
Partners, shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount
equal to the aggregate proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of such
shares of stock of or other interests in the Company;

 

(2)           the additional Partnership Interests are issued in exchange for
property or other assets owned by the General Partner or Original Limited
Partners with a fair market value, as determined by the General Partner, in good
faith, equal to the value of the Partnership Interests; or

 

(3)           the additional Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners in
proportion to their respective Percentage Interests.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to
cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units for less than fair market
value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance
is in the best interests of the Company and the Partnership.

 

(ii)           Issuance of Additional Securities.  The Company shall not issue
any additional REIT Shares (other than REIT Shares issued in connection with an
exchange made pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof) or rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or
purchase REIT Shares (collectively, “Additional Securities”), unless (A) the
General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner (or
to the General Partner and/or the Original Limited Partners), as the General
Partner may designate, Partnership Interests or rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership having designations,
preferences and other rights such that the economic interests are substantially
similar to those of the Additional Securities, and (B) the Company through the
General Partner (or the General Partner and/or the Original Limited Partners)
contributes the proceeds from the issuance of such Additional Securities and
from any exercise of rights contained in such Additional Securities to the
Partnership; provided, however, that the Company is allowed to issue Additional
Securities in connection with an acquisition of a Property or other asset to be
held directly by the General Partner, but if and only if, such direct
acquisition and issuance of Additional Securities have been approved and
determined to be in the best interests of the Company and the Partnership by a
majority of the Independent Directors and Limited Partners holding more than 50%
of the Unaffiliated Percentage Interests, if any.  Without limiting the
foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue Additional
Securities for less than fair market value, and to cause the Partnership to
issue to the General Partner (or to the General Partner and/or the Original
Limited Partners) corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (1) the
Company concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of
the Company and the Partnership, including without limitation, the

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

issuance of REIT Shares and corresponding Partnership Units pursuant to an
employee share purchase plan providing for employee purchases of REIT Shares at
a discount from fair market value or employee stock options that have an
exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the REIT Shares,
either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise, and (2) the Company
through the General Partner (or the General Partner and/or the Original Limited
Partners) contributes all proceeds from such issuance to the Partnership.  By
way of example, in the event the Company issues REIT Shares for a cash purchase
price and shall contribute all of the net proceeds of such issuance to the
Partnership, the General Partner (or the General Partner and/or the Original
Limited Partners, as determined by the General Partner) shall be issued a number
of additional Partnership Units equal to the product of (A) the number of such
REIT Shares issued by the Company the proceeds of which were so contributed,
multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is one hundred percent
(100%), and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor in effect on the
date of such contribution.

 

(b)           Certain Deemed Contributions of Proceeds of Issuance of REIT
Shares.  In connection with any and all issuances of REIT Shares, the Company
through the General Partner (or the General Partner and/or the Original Limited
Partners) shall make Capital Contributions to the Partnership of the proceeds
therefrom, provided, that if the proceeds actually received and contributed by
the Company are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of any
underwriter’s discount or other fees or expenses paid or incurred in connection
with such issuance, then the General Partner (or the General Partner together
with the Original Limited Partners, as applicable) shall be deemed to have made
Capital Contributions to the Partnership in the aggregate amount of the gross
proceeds of such issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to
have paid such offering expenses in accordance with Section 6.05 hereof and in
connection with the required issuance of additional Partnership Units for such
Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 4.02(a) hereof.

 

4.03        Additional Funding.  If the General Partner determines that it is in
the best interests of the Partnership to provide for additional Partnership
funds (“Additional Funds”) for any Partnership purpose, the General Partner may
(a) cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside borrowings, or
(b) elect to have the General Partner or any of its Affiliates provide such
Additional Funds to the Partnership through loans or otherwise.

 

4.04        [Intentionally omitted.]

 

4.05        Percentage Interests.  If the number of outstanding Partnership
Units increases or decreases during a taxable year, each Partner’s Percentage
Interest shall be adjusted by the General Partner effective as of the date of
each such increase or decrease to a percentage equal to the number of
Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of
Partnership Units outstanding after giving effect to such increase or decrease. 
In such event, the General Partner shall revalue the property of the Partnership
and the Capital Account for each Partner shall be adjusted as set forth in
Section 5.02 hereof.  If the Partners’ Percentage Interests are adjusted
pursuant to this Section 4.05, the Profit and Loss for the taxable year in which
the adjustment occurs shall be prorated between the part of the year ending on
the day when the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner and
the part of the year beginning on the following day and, as so divided, shall be
allocated to the Partners based on their Percentage

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Interests before adjustment, and their adjusted Percentage Interests,
respectively, either (a) as if the taxable year had ended on the date of the
adjustment or (b) based on the number of days in each part.  The General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which method shall
be used to allocate Profit and Loss for the taxable year in which an adjustment
occurs, as may be required or permitted under Section 706 of the Code.

 

4.06        No Interest on Contributions.  No Partner shall be entitled to
interest on its Capital Contribution, except as specifically provided in this
Agreement.

 

4.07        Return of Capital Contributions.  No Partner shall be entitled to
withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or to
receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as specifically provided
in this Agreement.  Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no
obligation to return to any Partner or withdrawn Partner any part of such
Partner’s Capital Contribution for so long as the Partnership continues in
existence.

 

4.08        No Third-Party Beneficiary.  No creditor or other third party having
dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or
obligation 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.  None of the rights or obligations of the Partners
herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall
be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any creditor or other
third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned
by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the Partnership to secure any
debt or other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners.  In
addition, it is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any
Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of money or other property in violation
of the Act.  However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that,
notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner is
obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the
obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a Limited
Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or
property of the Partnership.

 

ARTICLE V

 

CAPITAL ACCOUNT; PROFIT AND LOSS; DISTRIBUTIONS

 

5.01        Capital Account Allocations of Profit and Loss.

 

(a)           Profit.  After giving effect to the special allocations, if any,
required under this Article V for the applicable period, and subject to the
allocations to be made with respect to any additional class or series of
Partnership Units established pursuant to Section 4.02, and further subject to
the other provisions of this Section 5.01, Profits in each taxable year or other
allocation period shall be allocated to the Partners’ Capital Accounts in the
following order of priority:

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i)            First to the General Partner until the cumulative Profits
allocated to the General Partner under this Section 5.01(a)(i) equal the
cumulative Losses allocated to such Partner under Section 5.01(b)(ii); and

 

(ii)           Thereafter, to the holders of Common Units and LTIP Units in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.

 

(b)           Losses. After giving effect to the special allocations, if any,
required under this Article V for the applicable period, and subject to the
allocations to be made with respect to any additional class or series of
Partnership Units established pursuant to Section 4.02, and further subject to
the other provisions of this Section 5.01, Loss in each taxable year or other
period shall be allocated in the following order of priority:

 

(i)            First, to the holders of Common Units and LTIP Units (on and
after the LTIP Unit Distribution Participation Date with respect to such LTIP
Units) with positive balances in their Economic Capital Account Balances, pro
rata in accordance with their positive Economic Capital Account Balances until
their Economic Capital Accounts Balances are reduced to zero; provided that any
allocation to be made with respect to the Economic Capital Account Balances of a
holder with respect to such holder’s Special LTIP Units prior to the Special
LTIP Unit Full Participation Date for such Special LTIP Units will equal the
allocation that would otherwise be made pursuant to this clause (i) multiplied
by the Special LTIP Unit Sharing Percentage for such Special LTIP Unit; and

 

(ii)           Thereafter, to the General Partner.

 

For purposes of determining allocations of Losses pursuant to
Section 5.01(b)(i), an LTIP Unit Limited Partner shall be treated as having a
separate Economic Capital Account Balance, and for this purpose a separate
Capital Account with an appropriate share of Partner Minimum Gain and
Partnership Minimum Gain shall be maintained, for each tranche of LTIP Units
with a different issuance date that it holds and a separate Capital Account for
its Common Units, if applicable, and the Economic Capital Account Balance of
each holder of Common Units shall not include any Economic Capital Account
Balance attributable to other series or classes of Partnership Units.

 

(c)           Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any provision to the
contrary, (i) any expense of the Partnership that is a “nonrecourse deduction”
within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1) shall be allocated in
accordance with the Partners’ respective Percentage Interests, (ii) any expense
of the Partnership that is a “partner nonrecourse deduction” within the meaning
of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) shall be allocated to the Partner that
bears the “economic risk of loss” of such deduction in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1), (iii) if there is a net decrease in
Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-2(f)(1) for any Partnership taxable year, then, subject to the
exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2), (3), (4) and (5),
items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and the ordering rules contained in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(j), and (iv) if there is a net decrease in Partner
Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) for any
Partnership taxable year, then items of gain and income shall be allocated among
the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and the
ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j).

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(d)           Qualified Income Offset.  If a Partner unexpectedly receives in
any taxable year an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in
subparagraphs (4), (5) or (6) of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that
causes or increases a deficit balance in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital
Account, such Partner shall be allocated specially for such taxable year (and,
if necessary, later taxable years) items of income and gain in an amount and
manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit Adjusted Capital Account balance as
quickly as possible as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d).

 

(e)           Capital Account Deficits.  Loss or items thereof shall not be
allocated to a Limited Partner to the extent that such allocation would cause or
increase a deficit in such Partner’s Adjusted Capital Account (in which case the
Loss or items (or portions thereof) that cannot be allocated to such Limited
Partner shall be allocated to those Partners who can receive such allocations
without violating this Section 5.01 in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests).

 

(f)            Definition of Profit and Loss.  “Profit” and “Loss” and any items
of income, gain, expense or loss referred to in this Agreement means the net
income, net loss or items thereof for the applicable period as determined for
maintaining Capital Accounts, and shall be determined in accordance with U.S.
federal income tax accounting principles, as modified by Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss shall not include items
of income, gain, loss and expense that are specially allocated pursuant to this
Article V.

 

(g)           Curative Allocations.  The allocations set forth in
Section 5.01(c), Section 5.01(d) and Section 5.01(e) hereof (the “Regulatory
Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Code
Section 704(b) and the Regulations thereunder, including the requirements of
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 hereof (other than Section 5.01(i)), the
Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of
income, gain, loss and expense among the Holders so that to the extent possible
without violating the requirements giving rise to the Regulatory Allocations,
the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations
to each Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated
to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

(h)           Forfeitures.  Upon a forfeiture of any unvested Partnership
Interest 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 Regulations
promulgated after the effective date of this Agreement to ensure that
allocations made with respect to all unvested Partnership Interests are
recognized under Code Section 704(b).

 

(i)            LTIP Allocations.  After giving effect to the special allocations
set forth in Section 5.01(c) and Section 5.01(d) hereof, and the allocations of
Profit under Section 5.01(a)(i), and subject to the other provisions of this
Section 5.01, but before allocations of Profit are made under
Section 5.01(a)(ii), Liquidating Gains and Liquidating Losses shall be allocated
as follows:

 

(i)            Liquidating Gains (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
Liquidating Gains that are a component of any remaining Profit), shall first be
allocated to the LTIP Unit Limited Partners until the Economic Capital Account
Balances of such Partners, to the extent attributable to their ownership of LTIP
Units, are equal to (1) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (2) the
number of their LTIP Units (with respect

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

to each LTIP Unit Limited Partner, the “Target Balance”).  For the avoidance of
doubt, Liquidating Gains allocated with respect to an LTIP Unit pursuant to this
Section 5.01(i) shall reduce (but not below zero) the Book-Up Target for such
LTIP Unit.

 

(ii)           Liquidating Gain allocated to an LTIP Unit Limited Partner under
this Section 5.01(i) will be attributed to specific LTIP Units of such LTIP Unit
Limited Partner for purposes of determining (1) allocations under this
Section 5.01(i), (2) the effect of the forfeiture or conversion of specific LTIP
Units on such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Capital Account and (3) the ability of
such LTIP Unit Limited Partner to convert specific LTIP Units into Common
Units.  Such Liquidating Gain will generally be attributed in the following
order:  (1) first, to Vested LTIP Units held for more than two years,
(2) second, to Vested LTIP Units held for two years or less, (3) third, to
Unvested LTIP Units that have remaining vesting conditions that only require
continued employment or service to the Company, the Partnership or an Affiliate
of either for a certain period of time (with such Liquidating Gains being
attributed in order of vesting from soonest vesting to latest vesting), and
(4) fourth, to other Unvested LTIP Units (with such Liquidating Gains being
attributed in order of issuance from earliest issued to latest issued).  Within
each category, Liquidating Gain will be allocated seriatim (i.e., entirely to
the first unit in a set, then entirely to the next unit in the set, and so on,
until a full allocation is made to the last unit in the set) in the order of
smallest Book-Up Target to largest Book-Up Target.  Any such allocations shall
be made among the holders of LTIP Units in proportion to the aggregate amounts
required to be allocated to each under this Section 5.01(i).

 

(iii)          After giving effect to the special allocations set forth above,
if, due to distributions with respect to Common Units in which the LTIP Units do
not participate, forfeitures or otherwise, the Economic Capital Account Balance
of any LTIP Unit Limited Partner attributable to such LTIP Unit Limited
Partner’s LTIP Units, exceeds the Target Balance, then Liquidating Losses shall
be allocated to such LTIP Unit Limited Partner to eliminate the disparity;
provided, however, that if Liquidating Losses are insufficient to completely
eliminate all such disparities, such losses shall be allocated among LTIP Units
in a manner reasonably determined by the General Partner.

 

(iv)          The parties agree that the intent of this Section 5.01(i) is
(1) to the extent possible to make the Capital Account balance associated with
each LTIP Unit economically equivalent to the Capital Account balance associated
with the Company Group’s Common Units (on a per-unit basis) and (2) to allow
conversion of an LTIP Unit (assuming prior vesting) when sufficient Liquidating
Gains have been allocated to such LTIP Unit pursuant to Section5.01(i)(i) or
Losses and/or Liquidating Losses have been allocated to Common Units under
Section 5.01(i)(v) so that either an LTIP Unit’s initial Book-Up Target has been
reduced to zero or the parity described in clause (1) above has been achieved. 
The General Partner shall be permitted to interpret this Section 5.01(i) and to
amend this Agreement to the extent necessary and consistent with this intention.

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(v)           Notwithstanding Section 5.01(b)(i), the General Partner may, in
its sole discretion, allocate Losses and/or Liquidating Losses to holders of
Common Units to achieve the parity described in clause (1) of
Section 5.01(i)(iv), above.

 

(j)            LTIP Forfeitures.  If an LTIP Unit Limited Partner forfeits any
LTIP Units to which Liquidating Gain has previously been allocated under
Section 5.01(i), (1) the portion of such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Capital
Account attributable to such Liquidating Gain allocated to such forfeited LTIP
Units will be re-allocated to that LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s remaining LTIP
Units that were outstanding on the date of the initial allocation of such
Liquidating Gain, using a methodology similar to that described in
Section 5.01(i)(ii) above as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to
the extent necessary to cause such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Economic Capital
Account Balance attributable to each such LTIP Unit to equal the Common Unit
Economic Balance and (2) such LTIP Unit Limited Partner’s Capital Account will
be reduced by the amount of any such Liquidating Gain not re-allocated pursuant
to clause (1) above.

 

(k)           Modifications to Reflect New Series or Classes.  The General
Partner is authorized to modify the allocations in this Section 5.01 and amend
such provisions (including the defined terms used therein) in such manner as the
General Partner determines is necessary or appropriate to reflect the issues of
additional series or classes of Partnership Interests.  Any such modification
may be made pursuant to the Certificate of Designations or similar instrument
establishing such new class or series.

 

5.02        Capital Accounts.  A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”)
shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv).  Consistent with the provisions of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), (i) immediately prior to the
acquisition of an additional Partnership Interest by any new or existing Partner
in connection with the contribution of money or other property (other than a de
minimis amount) to the Partnership, (ii) immediately prior to the distribution
by the Partnership to a Partner of Partnership property (other than a de minimis
amount) as consideration for a Partnership Interest, (iii) upon the acquisition
of a more than de minimis additional interest in the Partnership by any new or
existing Partner 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, (iv) upon the grant of any LTIP Unit, and (v) immediately prior to
the liquidation of the Partnership as defined in Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the book value of all Partnership assets shall be
revalued upward or downward to reflect the 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) of each such Partnership asset unless the
General Partner shall determine that such revaluation is not necessary to
maintain the Partners’ intended economic arrangements.  If the Capital Accounts
of the Partners are adjusted pursuant to Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) to reflect revaluations of Partnership property,
(i) the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of depreciation,
depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for book purposes, with
respect to such property, (ii) the Partners’ distributive shares of
depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain or loss, as computed for tax
purposes, with respect to such property shall be determined so as to take
account of the variation between the adjusted tax basis and book value of such
property in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c), and (iii) the amount
of

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

upward and/or downward adjustments to the book value of the Partnership property
shall be treated as income, gain, deduction and/or loss for purposes of applying
the allocation provisions of this Article V.  If Code Section 704(c) applies to
Partnership property, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) for allocations of
depreciation, depletion, amortization and gain and loss, as computed for book
purposes, with respect to such property.

 

5.03        Tax Allocations.  All allocations of income, gain, loss and
deduction (and all items contained therein) for U.S. federal income tax purposes
shall be identical to all allocations of such items set forth in Section 5.01,
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
methods to be used by the Partnership for allocating items of income, gain and
expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(4), and such election shall be binding on all Partners;
provided, however, that with respect to any property that was contributed to the
Partnership by Ryanco Partners Ltd. No. X, a California limited partnership,
such variation between basis and initial Agreed Value shall be taken into
account under the “traditional method” with curative allocations on sale as
described in Regulations Section 1.704-3.

 

5.04        Substantial Economic Effect.  It is the intent of the Partners that
the allocations of Profit and Loss under the Agreement have substantial economic
effect (or be consistent with the Partners’ interests in the Partnership in the
case of the allocation of losses attributable to nonrecourse debt) within the
meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code as interpreted by the Regulations
promulgated pursuant thereto. Article V and other relevant provisions of this
Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with such intent.  The
provisions of this Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are
intended to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), and shall be interpreted
and applied in a manner consistent with such Regulations.  In the event the
General Partner shall determine that it is prudent to modify the manner in which
the Capital Accounts, or any debits, or credits thereto (including, without
limitation, debits or credits relating to liabilities which are secured by
contributed or distributed property or which are assumed by the Partnership, the
General Partner, or the Limited Partners) are computed, the General Partner may
make such modification without regard to Article XI of the Agreement, provided
that it is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to
any Person pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Agreement upon the dissolution of the
Partnership.  The General Partner also shall (i) make any adjustments that are
necessary or appropriate to maintain equality between the aggregate Capital
Accounts of the Partners and the amount of Partnership capital reflected on the
Partnership’s balance sheet, as computed for book purposes, in accordance with
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(q); and (ii) make any appropriate
modifications in the event unanticipated events might otherwise cause this
Agreement not to comply with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b).  In addition, the
General Partner may adopt and employ such methods and procedures for (i) the
maintenance of book and tax capital accounts; (ii) the determination and
allocation of adjustments under Sections 704(c), 734, and 743 of the Code;
(iii) the determination of Profit, Loss, taxable income and loss and items
thereof under this Agreement and pursuant to the Code; (iv) the adoption of
reasonable conventions and methods for the valuation of assets and the
determination of tax basis; (v) the allocation of asset value and tax basis; and
(vi) conventions for the determination of cost recovery, depreciation and
amortization deductions, as it determines in its sole discretion are

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

necessary or appropriate to execute the provisions of this Agreement, to comply
with U.S. federal and state tax laws, and/or are in the best interest of the
Partners.

 

5.05        Other tax provisions.

 

(a)           A Partner’s “interest in partnership profits” for purposes of
determining its share of the nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership within
the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be such Partner’s
Percentage Interest.

 

(b)           If a Partner transfers any part or all of its Partnership
Interest, the distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss
allocable among the Partners during such taxable year of the Partnership shall
be allocated between the transferor and the transferee Partner either (i) as if
the Partnership’s taxable year had ended on the date of the transfer, or
(ii) based on the number of days of such taxable year that each was a Partner
without regard to the results of Partnership activities in the respective
portions of such taxable year in which the transferor and the transferee were
Partners.  The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall
determine which method shall be used to allocate the distributive shares of the
various items of Profit and Loss between the transferor and the transferee
Partner.

 

(c)           Subject to Section 5.05(d), if and to the extent any payment or
reimbursement to the General Partner or the Company made pursuant to
Section 6.05 or otherwise is determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes not
to constitute a payment of Partnership expense (and the underlying expense is
treated as a General Partner or Company expense for U.S. federal income tax
purposes), then to the extent permitted under the Code, the Partnership’s
payment or reimbursement of such expense shall be treated for purposes of
maintaining Capital Accounts and this Article V as (i) a distribution to the
General Partner or the Company (as applicable) and a matching special allocation
of Profit otherwise allocable under Section 5.01(a) for the corresponding
taxable year, up to the amount of Profit so available, and (ii) to the extent
that the amount of such payments and reimbursements for such taxable year exceed
the amount of Profit so available to specially allocate, the balance shall be
treated as a guaranteed payment with respect to capital within the meaning of
Section 707(c) of the Code.  Payments and reimbursements subject to this
Section 5.05(c) shall include indirect reimbursements, including through giving
the General Partner or the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the
Company Capital Account credit (prior to the application of this
Section 5.05(c) or Section 5.05(d)), in excess of actual Capital Contributions
made by the General Partner or the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary
of the Company.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
if the Partnership pays or reimburses (directly or indirectly, including by
reason of giving the General Partner or the Company or any direct or indirect
Subsidiary of the Company Capital Account credit in excess of actual Capital
Contributions made by the General Partner or the Company or any direct or
indirect Subsidiary of the Company) fees, expenses or other costs pursuant to
Section 6.05 or otherwise, and if failure to treat all or part of such payment
or reimbursement as a distribution to the General Partner, the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company (as appropriate), or the receipt of Capital Accounts
credit in excess of actual Capital Contributions, would cause the Company to
recognize income that would cause the Company to fail to qualify as a REIT, then
such payment or reimbursement (or portion thereof) shall be treated as a

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

distribution to the General Partner, the Company or direct or indirect
Subsidiary of the Company (as appropriate) for purposes of this Agreement, or
the Capital Account credit in excess of actual Capital Contributions shall be
reduced, in each case to the extent necessary to preserve the Company’s status
as a REIT.  The Capital Account of the General Partner, the Company or any
direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company (as appropriate) shall be reduced
by such direct or indirect payment or reimbursement (or a portion thereof) in
the same manner as an actual distribution to the General Partner, the Company,
or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company (as appropriate).  To the
extent treated as distributions, such fees, expenses or other costs shall not be
taken into account as Partnership fees, expenses or costs for the purposes of
this Agreement.  In the event that amounts are recharacterized as distributions
or Capital Accounts are reduced pursuant to this Section 5.05(d), allocations
under Section 5.01(a), Section 5.01(b) and Section 5.01(i) for the current and
subsequent periods shall be adjusted as reasonably determined by the General
Partner so that to the extent possible the Partners have the same Capital
Account balances they would have if this Section 5.05(d) had not applied.  This
Section 5.05(d) is intended to prevent direct or indirect reimbursements or
payments under this Agreement from giving rise to a violation of the Company’s
REIT requirements while at the same time preserving to the extent possible the
parties’ intended economic arrangement and shall be interpreted and applied
consistent with such intent.

 

5.06        Distribution of Cash

 

(a)           Subject to the other provisions of this Article V and the rights
and preferences of any additional class or series of Partnership Units
established pursuant to Section 4.02, the Partnership shall distribute cash on a
quarterly (or, at the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis, in
such amounts as are determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record
Date.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General
Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or
appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements
established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law including,
without limitation, the requirements of Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446 and 1471
through 1474of the Code.  To the extent that the Partnership is required to
withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the
allocation or distribution of income to a Partner or its assignee (including by
reason of Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if the actual amount to be
distributed to the Partner or assignee equals or exceeds the amount required to
be withheld by the Partnership, the amount withheld shall be treated as a
distribution of cash in the amount of such withholding to such Partner or
assignee, or (ii) if the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner or
assignee is less than the amount required to be withheld by the Partnership, the
amount required to be withheld shall be treated as a loan (a “Partnership Loan”)
from the Partnership to the Partner or assignee on the day the Partnership pays
over such amount to a taxing authority.  A Partnership Loan shall be repaid
through withholding by the Partnership with respect to subsequent distributions
to the applicable Partner or assignee.  In the event that a Limited Partner (a
“Defaulting Limited Partner”) fails to pay any amount owed to the Partnership
with respect to the Partnership Loan within 15 days after demand for payment
thereof is made by the Partnership on the Limited Partner, the General Partner,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make the payment to

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the Partnership on behalf of such Defaulting Limited Partner.  In such event, on
the date of payment, the General Partner shall be deemed to have extended a loan
(a “General Partner Loan”) to the Defaulting Limited Partner in the amount of
the payment made by the General Partner and shall succeed to all rights and
remedies of the Partnership against the Defaulting Limited Partner as to that
amount.  Without limitation, the General Partner shall have the right to receive
any distributions that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to the
Defaulting Limited Partner until such time as the General Partner Loan has been
paid in full, and any such distributions so received by the General Partner
shall be treated as having been received by the Defaulting Limited Partner and
immediately paid to the General Partner.  Any amounts treated as a Partnership
Loan or a General Partner Loan pursuant to this Section 5.06(b) shall bear
interest at the lesser of (A) the base rate on corporate loans at large United
States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall
Street Journal, or (B) the maximum lawful rate of interest on such obligation,
such interest to accrue from the date the Partnership or the General Partner, as
applicable, is deemed to extend the loan until such loan is repaid in full. 
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 5.06(b).  Each Limited
Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall
request in order to (i) perfect or enforce the security interest created
hereunder and (ii) cause any loan arising hereunder to be treated as a real
estate asset for purposes of Section 856(c)(4)(A) of the Code.  In the event
that proceeds to the Partnership are reduced on account of taxes withheld at the
source or the Partnership incurs a tax liability and such taxes (or a portion
thereof) are imposed on or with respect to one or more, but not all, of the
Partners in the Partnership or if the rate of tax varies depending on the
attributes of specific Partners or to whom the corresponding income is
allocated, the amount of the reduction in the Partnership’s net proceeds shall
be borne by and apportioned among the relevant Partners and treated as if it
were paid by the Partnership as a withholding obligation with respect to such
Partners in accordance with such apportionment.

 

(c)           To the extent not utilized for expenses of the Partnership or for
investment in additional Properties, the General Partner may, in its discretion,
cause the Partnership to distribute Net Capital Proceeds in such amount as shall
be determined by the General Partner in its discretion in accordance with the
provisions of Section 5.06(a) hereof.

 

(d)           In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with
respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled to receive a cash
dividend as the holder of record of a REIT Share for which all or part of such
Partnership Unit has been or will be exchanged.

 

5.07        REIT Distribution Requirements.

 

The General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to
distribute amounts sufficient to enable the Company to pay stockholder dividends
that will allow the Company to (a) meet its distribution requirement for
qualification as a REIT as set forth in Section 857 of the Code and (b) avoid
any U.S. federal income or excise tax liability imposed by the Code, other than
to the extent the Company elects to retain and pay income tax on its net capital
gain.

 

27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

5.08        No Right to Distributions in Kind.

 

No Partner shall be entitled to demand property other than cash in connection
with any distributions by the Partnership.

 

5.09        Limitations on Return of Capital Contributions.  Notwithstanding any
of the provisions of this Article V, no Partner shall have the right to receive
and the General Partner shall not have the right to make a distribution that
includes a return of all or part of a Partner’s Capital Contributions, unless
after giving effect to the return of a Capital Contribution, the sum of all
Partnership liabilities, other than the liabilities to a Partner for the return
of its Capital Contribution, does not exceed the fair market value of the
Partnership’s assets.

 

5.10        Distributions Upon Liquidation.  Upon liquidation of the
Partnership, after payment of, or adequate provision for, debts and obligations
of the Partnership, including any Partner loans, any remaining assets of the
Partnership shall be distributed to all Partners with positive Capital Accounts
in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account balances.  For
purposes of the preceding sentence, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be
determined after all adjustments made in accordance with Sections 5.01 through
5.06 resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales and dispositions
of all or any part of the Partnership’s assets have been made.  To the extent
deemed advisable by the General Partner, appropriate arrangements (including the
use of a liquidating trust) may be made to assure that adequate funds are
available to pay any contingent debts or obligations.

 

5.11        Tax Consequences to Limited Partners.

 

In exercising its authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but
shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any
Partner (including the General Partner) of any action taken by it. The General
Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Partner under any
circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited
Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant
to its authority under this Agreement.

partner as provided by the Act.

 

(b)           Except as otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of
the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties,
the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to apply
Partnership funds to the extent that Partnership funds are reasonably available
to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize or require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to
expend its individual funds for payment to third parties or to undertake any
individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership.

 

(c)           Any actions taken by the General Partner pursuant to its authority
under this Agreement on behalf of the Partnership regarding the approval of any
transaction between the Partnership and the Sponsor, Advisor, a member of the
Board of Directors of the Company or any Affiliate thereof, shall require
approval by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of the Company
(including a majority of the independent directors) not otherwise interested in
such transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company and the Partnership
on terms and conditions not less favorable to the Company or the Partnership, as
applicable, than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

6.02        Delegation of Authority.  The General Partner may delegate any or
all of its powers, rights and obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ,
contract or otherwise deal with any Person (including without limitation
officers or other agents of the Partnership, the Company or the General Partner
appointed by the General Partner) for the transaction of the business of the
Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner, perform
any acts or services for the Partnership as the General Partner may approve.

 

6.03        Indemnification and Exculpation of Indemnitees.

 

(a)           The Partnership shall indemnify an Indemnitee from and against any
and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements,
and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to
the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any
Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, as a result of acting on behalf of or performing services for the
Partnership, only if it is determined that (i) the Indemnitee acted in good
faith and (ii) that the Indemnitee reasonably believed that the act or omission
was in the Partnership’s best interests, or if the act or omission was outside
the Indemnitee’s official capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, that
the act or omission was at least not opposed to the Partnership’s best
interests.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall be liable,
responsible and accountable, and the Partnership shall not be liable to an
Indemnitee, other than for reasonable expenses actually incurred by the
Indemnitee with respect to a proceeding in which (i) the Indemnitee is found
liable on the basis that the

 

31

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Indemnitee improperly received personal benefit, whether or not the benefit
resulted from an action taken in the Indemnitee’s official capacity, or (ii) the
Indemnitee is found liable to the Partnership or the Limited Partners.  The
Partnership shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Indemnitee:  (a) in the
case in which the Indemnitee is an Independent  Director, if the loss or
liability was the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct by the
Indemnitee, or (b) in any other case, if the loss or liability was the result of
negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee.  The termination of any proceeding
by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the
Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this
Section 6.03(a).  The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior
to judgment, does not alone determine that the Indemnitee acted in a manner
contrary to that specified in this Section 6.03(a).  Any indemnification
pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be made only out of the assets of the
Partnership.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the Partnership shall not provide
indemnification for any loss, liability or expense arising from or out of an
alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by an Indemnitee unless
one or more of the following conditions are met:  (i) there has been a
successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities
law violations as to the particular Indemnitee, (ii) such claims have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as
to the particular Indemnitee, or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction
approves a settlement of the claims against a particular Indemnitee and finds
that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and
the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the
position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities
regulatory authority in which securities of the Partnership were offered or sold
as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

 

(c)           The Partnership shall pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses
and other costs incurred by an Indemnitee in advance of final disposition of a
proceeding if all of the following are satisfied:  (i) the proceeding relates to
acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties for services on
behalf of the Partnership, (ii) the Indemnitee provides the Partnership with
written affirmation of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the Indemnitee
has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership
as authorized in this Section 6.03, (iii) the legal proceeding was initiated by
a third party who is not a stockholder of the Company or, if by a stockholder of
the Company acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent
jurisdiction approves such advancement, and (iv) the Indemnitee provides the
Partnership with a written agreement 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.

 

(d)           The Indemnification provided by this Section 6.03 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.

 

(e)           The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance or establish
other arrangements, including without limitation trust arrangements and letters
of credit on behalf of or to secure indemnification obligations owed to the
Indemnitees and such other Persons as the

 

32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

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.

 

(f)            For purposes of this Section 6.03, (i) the Partnership shall be
deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as a fiduciary of an employee
benefit plan whenever the performance by the Indemnitee of its duties to the
Partnership also imposes duties on the Indemnitee, or otherwise involves
services by the Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the
plan; (ii) 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 6.03; and (iii) 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 it 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.

 

(g)           In no event may an Indemnitee subject the Limited Partners to
personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this
Agreement.

 

(h)           An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in
part under this Section 6.03 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.

 

(i)            The provisions of this Section 6.03 are for the benefit of the
Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not
be deemed to create any rights in or be for the benefit of any other Persons.

 

6.04        Liability of the General Partner.

 

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the
Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a
result of errors in judgment or any act or omission if the General Partner acted
in good faith.  The General Partner shall not be in breach of any duty that the
General Partner may owe to the Limited Partners or the Partnership or any other
Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity,
provided, the General Partner, acting in good faith, abides by the terms of this
Agreement.  In addition, to the extent the General Partner or any officer,
director, employee, agent or stockholder of the General Partner performs its
duties in accordance with the standards provided by the Act, as it may be
amended from time to time, or under any successor statute thereto, such Person
or Persons shall have no liability by reason of being or having been the General
Partner, or by reason of being an officer, director, employee, agent or
stockholder of the General Partner.  To the maximum extent that the Act and the
general laws of the State of Texas, in effect from time to time, permit
limitation of the liability of general partners of a limited partnership, the
General Partner and its officers, directors, employees, agents and stockholders
shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for money damages
except to the extent that (i) the General Partner or its officers, directors,
employees, agents or stockholders actually received an improper benefit or
profit in money, property or services, in which case the liability shall not
exceed the amount of the benefit

 

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

or profit in money, property or services actually received; or (ii) a judgment
or other final adjudication adverse to the General Partner or one or more of its
officers, directors, employees, agents or stockholders is entered in a
proceeding based on a finding in the proceeding that the action or failure to
act of the General Partner or one or more of its officers, directors, employees,
agents or stockholders was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and
was material to the cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.  Neither the
amendment nor repeal of this Section 6.04(a), nor the adoption or amendment of
any other provision of this Agreement inconsistent with this Section 6.04(a),
shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding
sentence with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such
amendment, repeal or adoption.  In the absence of any Texas statute limiting the
liability of the General Partner or its directors or officers for money damages
in a suit by or on behalf of the Partnership or by any Partner, the General
Partner and the officers, directors, employees, agents and stockholders of the
General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for
money damages except to the extent that (i) the General Partner or one or more
of its officers, directors, employees, agents or stockholders actually received
an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services, in which case the
liability shall not exceed the amount of the benefit or profit in money,
property or services actually received; or (ii) a judgment or other final
adjudication adverse to the General Partner or one or more of its officers,
directors, employees, agents or stockholders is entered in a proceeding based on
a finding in the proceeding that the action of the General Partner or one or
more of its officers, directors, employees or stockholders action or failure to
act was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and was material to the
cause of action adjudicated in the proceeding.

 

(b)           The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General
Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership, itself and its stockholders
collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the
separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the
tax consequences to Limited Partners or the tax consequences of some, but not
all, of the Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to
take (or decline to take) any actions.  In the event of a conflict between the
interests of its stockholders on the one hand and the Limited Partners on the
other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict
in a manner not adverse to either its stockholders or the Limited Partners;
provided, however, that for so long as the General Partner directly owns a
controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines cannot be resolved in a
manner not adverse to either its stockholders or the Limited Partners shall be
resolved in favor of its stockholders.  The General Partner shall not be liable
for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not
derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the
General Partner has acted in good faith.

 

(c)           Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth
in Section 6.01 hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers
granted to it under this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it
hereunder either directly or by or through its agents.  The General Partner
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
such agent appointed by it in good faith.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act,
any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision
of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership,
undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or

 

34

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

omission is necessary or advisable in order to (i) protect the ability of the
Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) prevent the Company from
incurring any taxes under Section 857, Section 4981, or any other provision of
the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by
all of the Limited Partners.

 

(e)           Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.04 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the
limitations on the General Partner’s liability to the Partnership and the
Limited Partners under this Section 6.04 as in effect immediately prior to such
amendment, modification or repeal with respect to matters occurring, in whole or
in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when
claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted.

 

6.05        Reimbursement of or by General Partner.

 

(a)           Except as provided in this Section 6.05 and elsewhere in this
Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI regarding
distributions, payments, and allocations to which it may be entitled), the
General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of
the Partnership.

 

(b)           The General Partner shall be reimbursed by the Partnership on a
monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its
sole and absolute discretion, for all REIT Expenses and Administrative Expenses
incurred by the General Partner.

 

(c)           The Company shall be reimbursed by the Partnership on a monthly
basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and
absolute discretion, for all REIT Expenses and Administrative Expenses incurred
by the Company.

 

6.06        Outside Activities.  Subject to the Articles of Incorporation and
any agreements entered into by the General Partner or its Affiliates with the
Partnership or a Subsidiary, or any officer, director, manager, employee, agent,
trustee, Affiliate or owner of the General Partner, the Affiliates of the
General Partner and the officers, directors, managers, agents, trustees and
owners of the General Partner and its Affiliates shall be entitled to and may
have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those
relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities
substantially similar or identical to those of the Partnership.  Neither the
Partnership nor any of the Limited Partners shall have any rights by virtue of
this Agreement in any such business ventures, interests or activities.  None of
the Limited Partners or any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this
Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any such
business ventures, interests or activities, and neither the General Partner, nor
any Affiliates of the General Partner nor any officers, directors, managers,
employees, agents, trustees or owners of the General Partner or the General
Partner’s Affiliates shall have any obligation pursuant to this Agreement to
offer any interest in any such business ventures, interests and activities to
the Partnership or any Limited Partner, even if such opportunity is of a
character which, if presented to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, could
be taken by such Person.  Without the consent of the Limited Partners holding
more than 50% of the Percentage Interests, the General Partner shall not,
directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in
connection with the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership
Interests as a general partner and the management of the business of the
Partnership, the facilitation of the Company’s operation as a REIT and such
activities as are

 

35

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

incidental to the same.  Without the consent of the Limited Partners holding
more than 50% of the Unaffiliated Percentage Interests (if any), neither the
General Partner nor the Company shall, directly or indirectly, participate in or
otherwise acquire any interest in any real or personal property, except its
general partner interest or its minority interest in any Subsidiary of the
Partnership (held directly or indirectly through a qualified REIT subsidiary (as
defined in Code Section 856(i)(2), limited liability company or taxable
corporate affiliate, as the Company shall determine consistent with its need to
maintain its status as a REIT) that the General Partner holds in order to
maintain such Subsidiary’s status as a partnership for federal income tax
purpose or to satisfy any covenants or terms of any documents evidencing a loan
that is either made to such Subsidiary or that relates to any property owned
directly or indirectly by such Subsidiary, and such bank accounts, similar
instruments or other short term investments as it deems necessary to carry out
its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Certificate.

 

6.07        Employment or Retention of Affiliates.

 

(a)            Any Affiliate of the General Partner may be employed or retained
by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the Partnership (whether as an
advisor, buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, property management agent, asset
manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent, lender or otherwise) and
may receive from the Partnership any compensation, price, or other payment
therefor which the General Partner determines to be fair and reasonable.

 

(b)            The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or
other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such 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.

 

(c)            The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, limited
liability companies, other partnerships, corporations or other business entities
in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to
such conditions as the General Partner deems to be consistent with this
Agreement and applicable law.

 

(d)            Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the
General Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any
property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or
indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and
reasonable to the Partnership.

 

6.08        Reserved.

 

6.09        Title to Partnership Assets.   Partnership assets, whether real,
personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be
owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or
collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or
any portion thereof; provided, that title to any or all of the Partnership
assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or
more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the
General Partner.  The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any
Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General
Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by such
Person

 

36

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of
this Agreement; provided, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to
cause legal title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as
reasonably practicable.  All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the
property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name
in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held.

 

6.10        Miscellaneous.   In the event the Company redeems any REIT Shares,
then the Partnership will be deemed to have purchased from the Original Limited
Partners a number of Partnership Units determined by, and based upon, the
application of the Conversion Factor on the same terms upon which the Company
redeemed such REIT Shares.  Moreover, if the Company makes a cash tender offer
or other offer to acquire REIT Shares, then the Company shall be deemed to have
made a corresponding offer to the Original Limited Partners to acquire an
equivalent number of Partnership Units held by the Original Limited Partners
based on the application of the Conversion Factor.  In the event any REIT Shares
are redeemed by the Company pursuant to such cash tender offer, then the
Partnership shall be deemed to have redeemed an equivalent number of the
Original Limited Partners’ Partnership Units for an equivalent purchase price
based on the application of the Conversion Factor.  If the Original Limited
Partners hold an insufficient number of Partnership Units to effect a purchase
or redemption contemplated by this Section 6.10, then the Partnership will be
deemed to have purchased or redeemed from the General Partner, after it has
purchased or redeemed all of the Original Limited Partners’ Partnership Units,
the number of Partnership Units necessary to effect such purchase or redemption.

form), which, in any such case, results in a change of control of the Company or
the General Partner (a “Transaction”), unless:

the right to receive for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities, or
other property equal to the product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest
amount of cash, securities or other property paid in the Transaction to a holder
of one REIT Share in consideration of the transfer of one REIT Share; provided,
that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange
offer (“Offer”) shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than
50% of the outstanding REIT Shares, each holder of Partnership Units shall be
given the option to exchange its Partnership Units for the greatest amount of
cash, securities, or other property which a Limited Partner would have received
had it (A) exercised its Exchange Right and (B) sold, tendered or exchanged
pursuant to the Offer the REIT Shares received upon exercise of the Exchange
Right immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer; or

 

(iii)          the Company or the General Partner is the surviving entity in the

Transaction involving the Company, or the Company in the case of a Transaction
involving the General Partner, do not receive cash, securities, or other
property in the Transaction or (B) all Limited Partners (other than the General
Partner or any Subsidiary) receive an amount of cash, securities, or other
property (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) that is no less than the
product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities, or
other property (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) received in the
Transaction by any holder of REIT Shares in the case of a Transaction involving
the Company, or the Company in the case of a Transaction involving the General
Partner.

 

(d)            Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), either the Company or the
General Partner may merge with or into or consolidate with another entity if
immediately after such merger or consolidation (i) substantially all of the
assets of the successor or surviving entity (the “Survivor”), other than
Partnership Units held by the General Partner, are contributed, directly or
indirectly, to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for
Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so
contributed as determined by the Survivor in good faith and (ii) the Survivor
expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner, as
appropriate, hereunder.  Upon such contribution and assumption, the Survivor
shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this
Section 7.01(d).  The Survivor shall in good faith arrive at a new method for
the calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount and the Conversion
Factor for a Partnership Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to
approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably
possible.  Such calculation shall take into account, among other things, the
kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon
such merger or consolidation by a holder of REIT Shares or options, warrants or
other rights relating thereto, and which a holder of Partnership Units could
have acquired had such Partnership Units been exchanged immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation.  Such amendment to this Agreement shall provide
for adjustments to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for herein with
respect to the Conversion Factor.  The Survivor also shall in good faith modify
the definition of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.05 hereof so
as to approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.05
as closely as reasonably possible.  The above provisions of this
Section 7.01(d) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations
permitted hereunder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

In respect of any transaction described in the preceding paragraph, the General
Partner is required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to structure such
transaction to avoid causing the Limited Partners to recognize a gain for
federal income tax purposes by virtue of the occurrence of or their
participation in such transaction, provided, such efforts are consistent with
the exercise of the Board of Directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of
the General Partner under applicable law.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c),

 

(i)             a General Partner may transfer all or any portion of its General
Partnership Interest to (A) a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such General Partner or
(B) the owner of all of the ownership interests of such General Partner, and
following a transfer of all of its General Partnership Interest, may withdraw as
General Partner; and

 

(ii)            the General Partner or the Company may engage in a transaction
not required by law or by the rules of any national securities exchange on which
the REIT Shares are listed to be submitted to the vote of the holders of the
REIT Shares.

 

7.02        Admission of a Substitute or Additional General Partner.   A Person
shall be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner of the
Partnership only if the following terms and conditions are satisfied:

 

(a)            the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General
Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement by executing a counterpart hereof and such other
documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect
the admission of such Person as a General Partner, a certificate evidencing the
admission of such Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for
recordation and all other actions required by Section 2.05 hereof in connection
with such admission shall have been performed;

 

(b)            if the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional
General Partner is a corporation or a partnership, it shall have provided the
Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such
Person’s authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and
provisions of this Agreement; and

 

(c)            counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion
(relying on such opinions from other counsel in the state or any other
jurisdiction as may be necessary) that the admission of the Person to be
admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is in conformity with the
Act, and that none of the actions taken in connection with the admission of such
Person as a substitute or additional General Partner will cause (i) the
Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes, or (ii) the loss of any Limited Partner’s limited liability.

 

7.03        Effect of Bankruptcy, Withdrawal, Death or Dissolution of a General
Partner.

 

(a)            Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General
Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the death,
withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a
General Partner is, on the date of such occurrence a partnership,

 

39

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a
partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such
General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the
remaining partner or partners thereof), the Partnership shall be dissolved and
terminated unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to
Section 7.03(b) hereof.  The merger of the General Partner with or into any
entity that is admitted as a substitute or successor General Partner pursuant to
Section 7.02 hereof shall not be deemed to be the withdrawal, dissolution or
removal of the General Partner.

 

(b)            Following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a
General Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the
death, withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if
a General Partner is, on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the
withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a
partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such
General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the
remaining partner or partners thereof), the Limited Partners, within 90 days
after such occurrence, may elect to continue the business of the Partnership for
the balance of the term specified in Section 2.04 hereof by selecting, subject
to Section 7.02 hereof and any other provisions of this Agreement, a substitute
General Partner by consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners. 
If the Limited Partners elect to continue the business of the Partnership and
admit a substitute General Partner, the relationship with the Partners and of
any Person who has acquired an interest of a Partner in the Partnership shall be
governed by this Agreement.

 

7.04        Removal of a General Partner.

 

(a)            Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the
dissolution of, a General Partner, such General Partner shall be deemed to be
removed automatically; provided, however, that if a General Partner is on the
date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event
of Bankruptcy as to or removal of a partner in such partnership shall be deemed
not to be a dissolution of the General Partner if the business of such General
Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners thereof.  The Limited
Partners may not remove the General Partner, with or without cause.

 

(b)            If a General Partner has been removed pursuant to this
Section 7.04 and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof,
such General Partner shall promptly transfer and assign its General Partnership
Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General Partner approved by a
majority in interest of the Limited Partners in accordance with
Section 7.03(b) hereof and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in accordance
with Section 7.02 hereof.  At the time of assignment, the removed General
Partner shall be entitled to receive from the substitute General Partner the
fair market value of the General Partnership Interest of such removed General
Partner as reduced by any damages caused to the Partnership by such General
Partner’s removal.  Such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser
mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and Limited Partners holding more
than 50% of the Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners within 10 days
following the removal of the General Partner.  In the event that the parties are
unable to agree upon an appraiser, the removed General Partner and Limited
Partners holding more than 50% of the Percentage Interests of the Limited
Partners shall each select an appraiser.  Each such appraiser shall complete an
appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General
Partnership Interest within 30 days of the General

 

40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Partner’s removal, and the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s
General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals;
provided, however, that if the higher appraisal exceeds the lower appraisal by
more than 20% of the amount of the lower appraisal, the two appraisers, no later
than 40 days after the removal of the General Partner, shall select a third
appraiser who shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the
removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest no later than 60 days
after the removal of the General Partner.  In such case, the fair market value
of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest shall be the
average of the two appraisals closest in value.

 

(c)            The General Partnership Interest of a removed General Partner,
during the time after removal until the date of transfer under Section 7.04(b),
shall be converted to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such
removed General Partner shall not have any rights to participate in the
management and affairs of the Partnership, and shall not be entitled to any
portion of the income, expense, Profit, gain or Loss allocations or cash
distributions allocable or payable, as the case may be, to the Limited
Partners.  Instead, such removed General Partner shall receive and be entitled
only to retain distributions or allocations of such items that it would have
been entitled to receive in its capacity as General Partner, until the transfer
is effective pursuant to Section 7.04(b).

 

(d)            All Partners shall have given and hereby do give such consents,
shall take such actions and shall execute such documents as shall be legally
necessary and sufficient to effect all the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.04.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS
OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS

 

8.01        Management of the Partnership.      The Limited Partners shall not
participate in the management or control of Partnership business nor shall they
transact any business for or on behalf of the Partnership, nor shall they have
the power to sign for or bind the Partnership, such powers being vested solely
and exclusively in the General Partner.

 

8.02        Power of Attorney.   Each Limited Partner hereby irrevocably
appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, who may act
for each Limited Partner and in its name, place and stead, and for its use and
benefit, sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, file or record, at the
appropriate public offices, any and all documents, certificates, and instruments
as may be deemed necessary or desirable by the General Partner to carry out
fully the provisions of this Agreement and the Act in accordance with their
terms, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive the
death, dissolution or legal incapacity of the Limited Partner, or the transfer
by the Limited Partner of any part or all of its Partnership Interest.

 

8.03        Limitation on Liability of Limited Partners.   No Limited Partner
shall be liable for any debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of the
Partnership.  A Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership only to make
payments of its Capital Contribution, if any, as and when due hereunder.  After
its Capital Contribution is fully paid, no Limited Partner shall, except as
otherwise required by the Act, be required to make any further Capital
Contributions or other payments or lend any funds to the Partnership.

 

41

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

8.04        Ownership by Limited Partner of Corporate General Partner or
Affiliate.   No Limited Partner shall at any time, either directly or
indirectly, own any stock or other interest in the General Partner or in any
Affiliate thereof, if such ownership by itself or in conjunction with other
stock or other interests owned by other Limited Partners would, in the opinion
of counsel for the Partnership, jeopardize the classification of the Partnership
as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.  The General Partner shall be
entitled to make such reasonable inquiry of the Limited Partners as is required
to establish compliance by the Limited Partners with the provisions of this
Section 8.04.

 

8.05        Exchange Right.

 

(a)            Subject to Sections 8.05(b), 8.05(c), 8.05(d) and 8.05(e) hereof,
and subject to the potential modification of any rights or obligations provided
for herein by agreement(s) between the Partnership and any one or more Limited
Partners with respect to Partnership Units held by them, each Limited Partner
shall have the right (the “Exchange Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem
on a Specified Exchange Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by
such Limited Partner at an exchange price equal to and in the form of the Cash
Amount to be paid by the Partnership; provided, that such Partnership Units
shall have been outstanding for at least one year.  The Exchange Right shall be
exercised pursuant to the delivery of an Exchange Notice to the Partnership
(with a copy to the Company) by the Limited Partner who is exercising the
Exchange Right (the “Exchanging Partner”); provided, however, that the
Partnership shall not be obligated to satisfy such Exchange Right if the Company
elects to purchase the Partnership Units subject to the Exchange Notice pursuant
to Section 8.05(b); and provided further, that no Limited Partner may deliver
more than two Exchange Notices during each calendar year.  A Limited Partner may
not exercise the Exchange Right for less than 1,000 Partnership Units or, if
such Limited Partner holds less than 1,000 Partnership Units, all of the
Partnership Units held by such Partner.  The Exchanging Partner shall have no
right, with respect to any Partnership Units so exchanged, to receive any
distribution paid with respect to such Partnership Units if the record date for
such distribution is on or after the Specified Exchange Date.

 

(b)            Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a), a Limited
Partner that exercises the Exchange Right shall be deemed to have also offered
to sell the Partnership Units described in the Exchange Notice to the Company,
and the Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase
directly and acquire such Partnership Units by paying to the Exchanging Partner
either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as elected by the Company (in
its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified Exchange Date, whereupon the
Company shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for exchange by the
Exchanging Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as
the owner of such Partnership Units.  If the Company shall elect to exercise its
right to purchase Partnership Units under this Section 8.05(b) with respect to
an Exchange Notice, it shall so notify the Exchanging Partner within five
business days after the receipt by the Company of such Exchange Notice.  Unless
the Company (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall exercise its right to
purchase Partnership Units from the Exchanging Partner pursuant to this
Section 8.05(b), the Company shall have no obligation to the Exchanging Partner
or the Partnership with respect to the Exchanging Partner’s exercise of an
Exchange Right.  In the event the Company shall exercise its right to purchase
Partnership Units with respect to the exercise of an Exchange Right in the
manner described in the first sentence of

 

42

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

this Section 8.05(b), the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any amount
to the Exchanging Partner with respect to such Exchanging Partner’s exercise of
such Exchange Right, and each of the Exchanging Partner and the Company shall
treat the transaction between the Company and the Exchanging Partner for federal
income tax purposes as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units to
the Company.  Each Exchanging Partner agrees to execute such documents as the
Company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares to
such Exchanging Partner upon exercise of its Exchange Right.

 

(c)            Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.05(a) and 8.05(b), a
Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Exchange Right if the
delivery of REIT Shares to such Partner on the Specified Exchange Date by the
Company pursuant to Section 8.05(b) (regardless of whether or not the Company
would in fact exercise its rights under Section 8.05(b)) would (i) result in
such Partner or any other person owning, directly or indirectly, REIT Shares in
excess of the ownership limitations described in the Articles of Incorporation
and calculated in accordance therewith, (ii) result in REIT Shares being owned
by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of
attribution), except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, (iii) result
in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the
Code, (iv) cause the Company to own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of
the ownership interests in a tenant of the Company’s, the Partnership’s, or a
Subsidiary Partnership’s real property within the meaning of
Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code, or (v) cause the acquisition of REIT Shares by
such Partner to be “integrated” with any other distribution of REIT Shares for
purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities Act,
provided, that if such Partner delivers an opinion of counsel that is reasonably
satisfactory to the Company providing that the acquisition of REIT Shares by
such Partner will not be “integrated” with any other distribution of REIT Shares
for purposes of complying with the Securities Act, then the General Partner may
not prevent such Partner from exercising the Exchange Right by virtue of this
clause (v).  The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may, with
the consent of the Company, waive any of the restrictions on exchange set forth
in this Section 8.05(c); provided, however, that in the event any such
restriction is waived, the Exchanging Partner shall be paid the Cash Amount.

 

(d)            Any Cash Amount to be paid to an Exchanging Partner pursuant to
this Section 8.05 shall be paid on the Specified Exchange Date; provided,
however, that the General Partner may elect to cause the Specified Exchange Date
to be delayed for up to 180 days to the extent required for the General Partner
to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued to provide financing to be used to
make such payment of the Cash Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
General Partner agrees to use its best efforts to cause the closing of the
acquisition of exchanged Partnership Units hereunder to occur as quickly as
reasonably possible.

 

(e)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
General Partner shall place appropriate restrictions on the ability of the
Limited Partners to exercise their Exchange Rights as and if deemed necessary to
ensure that the Partnership does not constitute a “publicly traded partnership”
under Section 7704 of the Code.  If and when the General Partner determines that
imposing such restrictions is necessary, the General Partner shall give prompt
written notice thereof (a “Restriction Notice”) to each of the Limited Partners,
which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of an opinion of counsel to the
Partnership which states that, in the opinion of such counsel, restrictions are
necessary in order to avoid the Partnership being treated as a “publicly traded
partnership” under Section 7704 of the Code.

 

43

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

8.06        Call Right.

 

(a)            Subject to Section 8.06(c) below, and subject to the modification
of any rights or obligations provided for herein by agreement(s) between the
Company and any one or more Limited Partners with respect to the Partnership
Units held by them, at any time after the expiration of the Holding Period for
the Partnership Units in question, the Company shall have the right (the “Call
Right”) to purchase all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units that have been
outstanding since January 1, 2007 (the “Call Right Units”) at a price equal to
the Cash Amount; provided, however, that the Company (or any of its Affiliates)
may, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, elect to purchase such Call
Right Units by paying to the Partner in question the REIT Shares Amount in lieu
of the Cash Amount.  The Call Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Call Notice
delivered by the Company to any such Limited Partner.  The Company may not
exercise the Call Right for less than the entire interest of a Limited Partner
in the Partnership.  A Limited Partner receiving the Call Notice described above
shall have no rights with respect to any interest in the Partnership other than
the right to receive payment for its interest in the Partnership in cash or REIT
Shares in accordance with this Section 8.06.  An assignee of a Limited Partner
shall be bound by and subject to the Call Right of the Company pursuant to this
Section 8.06.  In connection with any exercise of such Call Right by the Company
with respect to an assignee, the Cash Amount (or REIT Shares Amount) shall be
paid by the Company directly to such assignee and not to the Limited Partner
from which such assignee acquired its Call Right Units.  The Company shall be
unable to exercise the Call Right and the Call Right shall lapse upon the
occurrence of a Liquidating Event unless and until the Partners shall continue
the business of the Partnership under Section 7.03 hereof.

 

(b)            (i)            Within 30 days after the delivery of the Call
Notice by the Company to a Limited Partner under this Section 8.06, the Company
(subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.06(c)) shall transfer and
deliver the Cash Amount (or the REIT Shares Amount) to such Limited Partner or,
as applicable, its assignee, whereupon the Company (or its designee) shall
acquire the Call Right Units of such Limited Partner or, as applicable, its
assignee, and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner
of such Call Right Units (and as a Limited Partner with respect to such Call
Right Units).

 

(ii)            In the event that the Company elects to pay such Limited Partner
in the form of the REIT Shares Amount and such REIT Shares Amount is not a whole
number of REIT Shares, the Limited Partner shall be paid (A) the number of REIT
Shares which equals the nearest whole number less than such amount plus (B) an
amount of cash which the Company determines, in its reasonable discretion, to
represent the fair value of the remaining fractional REIT Share which would
otherwise be payable to the Limited Partner.

 

(iii)           Each such Limited Partner agrees to deliver to the Company the
Call Right Unit Certificate(s) representing its Limited Partnership Interest and
to execute such documents as the Company may reasonably require in connection
with the issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Call Right (including
without limitation an assignment of Call Right Units pursuant to the terms of
which such Limited Partner (A) represents, warrants and certifies that it has
marketable and unencumbered title to its Call Right Units, free and clear of the
rights of or interest of any other person or entity, that it has the full right,
power and authority to transfer and surrender its Call Right Units, and that it
has obtained the consent or approval of all persons or entities, if any,

 

44

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

having the right to consent to or approve of such transfer and surrender, and
(B) agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from and against any and
all liabilities, charges, costs and expenses relating to such Limited Partner’s
Call Right Units which are subject to the Call Right or the exercise of the Call
Right).

 

(c)            Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 8.06(a) and
8.06(b) above, the Company shall not be entitled to exercise the Call Right if
(i) a Liquidating Event has occurred with regard to the Partnership and the
Partnership has not been continued under Section 7.03 hereof; or (ii) the
delivery of REIT Shares to the Limited Partner (A) would be prohibited under the
Articles of Incorporation, (B) would adversely affect the ability of the Company
to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the Company to any additional taxes
under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (C) would be prohibited under
applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.

 

(d)            Each such Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the Company
that all Call Right Units delivered in connection with the Call Right shall be
delivered to the Company free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and,
notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the General Partner
shall not be under any obligation to acquire a Limited Partner’s Call Right
Units (i) to the extent that any such Call Right Units are subject to any such
liens or encumbrances or (ii) in the event that the Limited Partner shall fail
to give the Company adequate assurances that such Call Right Units are not
subject to any such liens or encumbrances or shall fail to agree to fully
indemnify the Company from any such liens or encumbrances as well as the
liabilities, charges, costs and expenses referenced in the last section of
Section 8.06(b)(iii).  Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event
any state or local transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its
Call Right Units to the Company, such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such
transfer tax.

 

8.07        Duties and Conflicts.   The General Partner recognizes that the
Limited Partners and their Affiliates have or may have other business interests,
activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with
the business of the Partnership, and that such Persons are entitled to carry on
such other business interests, activities and investments.  The Limited Partners
and their Affiliates may engage in or possess an interest in any other business
or venture of any kind, independently or with others, on their own behalf or on
behalf of other entities with which they are affiliated or associated, and such
Persons may engage in any activities, whether or not competitive with the
Partnership, without any obligation to offer any interest in such activities to
the Partnership or to any Partner.  Neither the Partnership nor any Partner
shall have any right, by virtue of this Agreement, in or to such activities, or
the income or profits derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such activities,
even if competitive with the business of the Partnership, and such activities
shall not be deemed wrongful or improper.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

TRANSFERS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS

 

9.01        Purchase for Investment.

 

(a)            Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the
General Partner and to the Partnership that the acquisition of its Partnership
Interest is made as a principal for its

 

45

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or
distribution of such Partnership Interest.

 

(b)            Each Limited Partner agrees that it will not sell, assign or
otherwise transfer its Partnership Interest or any fraction thereof, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise, to any
Person who does not make the representations and warranties to the General
Partner set forth in Section 9.01(a) above.

 

9.02        Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests.

 

(a)            Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.02(b), 9.02(c) and
9.02(d), no Limited Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of its Limited Partnership Interest, or
any of such Limited Partner’s economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether
voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise
(collectively, a “Transfer”), without the consent of the General Partner, which
consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.  Any
such purported transfer undertaken without such consent shall be considered to
be null and void ab initio and shall not be given effect.  The Original Limited
Partners acknowledge that the General Partner may or may not grant its consent
with respect to any Transfer by the Original Limited Partners prior to the
Transfer Restriction Date; provided, that the Original Limited Partners shall
not be prohibited from a Transfer of its Partnership Interest pursuant to the
exercise of its right to exchange its Partnership Interest for REIT Shares
pursuant to Section 8.05 above, in which case the Original Limited Partners
acknowledge that the General Partner also may or may not grant its consent with
respect to any Transfer of said REIT Shares prior to the Transfer Restriction
Date.  The General Partner may require, as a condition of any Transfer to which
it consents, that the transferor assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in
connection therewith.

 

(b)            No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than
as a result of: (i) a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as
contemplated by paragraph (a) above or paragraph (c) below or a Transfer made
pursuant to Section 9.05 below) of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to this
Article IX pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to
Section 8.05 above; or (ii) a Transfer made pursuant to the sale of all its
Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.06 above.  Upon the permitted Transfer
or redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, such Limited
Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

 

(c)            Subject to Sections 9.02(d), 9.02(e) and 9.02(f), a Limited
Partner may Transfer, with the consent of the General Partner, all or a portion
of its Partnership Units to (i) a parent or parent’s spouse, natural or adopted
descendants, a spouse of any such descendant, a brother or sister, or a trust
created by such Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner and/or
any such person(s), for which trust such Limited Partner or any such
person(s) is a trustee, (ii) a corporation controlled by a Person or Persons
named in (i) above, or (iii) if the Limited Partner is an entity, its beneficial
owners.

 

(d)            No Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Limited
Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, if, in the opinion of legal counsel
for the Partnership, such proposed Transfer would require the registration of
the Limited Partnership Interest under the Securities Act, or would otherwise
violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue sky law (including
investment suitability standards).

 

46

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(e)            No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, in
whole or in part, may be made to any Person (i) if in the opinion of legal
counsel for the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership’s
being treated as an association taxable as a corporation (other than a qualified
REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) if in
the opinion of legal counsel for the Company, it could adversely affect the
ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or except with the
consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and
absolute discretion, subject the Company to any additional taxes under
Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, (iii) except with the consent of the
General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion, if such transfer (1) could be treated as effectuated through an
“established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial
equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, (2) could
cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is
defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code, (iv) except with the
consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and
absolute discretion, if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such
Transfer could cause a termination of the Partnership for U.S. federal or state
income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for REIT
Shares of all Common Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a
transaction expressly permitted under Section 7.01), or (v) if such transfer is
made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the
meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the
Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability, except with the
consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and
absolute discretion; and provided, that, as a condition to granting such consent
the lender may be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and
the General Partner to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares Amount any
Partnership Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the
time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for
purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

 

(f)             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 Regulations
Section 1.752-4(b)) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a
nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)),
without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole
and absolute discretion; provided, that as a condition to such consent the
lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and
the Company to exchange or redeem for the Cash Amount any Partnership Units in
which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such
lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of
allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

 

(g)            Any Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this
Article IX shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or
recognized by, the Partnership.

 

(h)            Prior to the consummation of any Transfer under this Article IX,
the transferor and/or the transferee shall deliver to the General Partner such
opinions, certificates and other documents as the General Partner shall request
in connection with such Transfer.

 

9.03        Admission of Substitute Limited Partner.

 

(a)            Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX, an assignee
of the Limited Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner (which shall be

47

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

transferee, donee or other recipient of any disposition of such Limited
Partnership Interest) shall be deemed admitted as a Limited Partner of the
Partnership only with the consent of the General Partner and upon the

admission of such Person as a Limited Partner shall have been signed,
acknowledged and filed for record in accordance with the Act;

 

(iii)           the assignee shall have delivered a letter containing the
representation set forth in Section 9.01(a) hereof and the agreement set forth
in Section 9.01(b) hereof;

 

(iv)           if the assignee is a corporation, partnership or trust, the
assignee shall have provided the General Partner with evidence satisfactory to
counsel for the Partnership of the assignee’s authority to become a Limited
Partner under the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

 

(v)            the assignee shall have executed a power of attorney containing
the terms and provisions set forth in Section 8.02 hereof;

 

(vi)           the assignee shall have paid all legal fees and other expenses of
the Partnership and the General Partner and filing and publication costs in
connection with its substitution as a Limited Partner; and

 

(vii)          the assignee shall have obtained the prior written consent of the
General Partner to its admission as a Substitute Limited Partner, which consent
may be given or denied in the exercise of the General Partner’s sole and
absolute discretion.

 

(b)            For the purpose of allocating Profit and Loss and distributing
cash received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated
as having become, and appearing in the records of the Partnership as, a Partner
upon the filing of the Certificate described in Section 9.03(a)(ii) hereof or,
if no such filing is required, the later of the date specified in the transfer
documents or the date on which the General Partner has received all necessary
instruments of transfer and substitution.

 

(c)            The General Partner shall cooperate with the Person seeking to
become a Substitute Limited Partner by preparing the documentation required by
this Section 9.03 and making all official filings and publications.  The
Partnership shall take all such action as promptly as practicable after the
satisfaction of the conditions in this Article IX to the admission of such
Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership.

 

48

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

9.04        Rights of Assignees of Partnership Interests.

 

(a)            Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof,
except as required by operation of law, the Partnership shall not be obligated
for any purposes whatsoever to recognize the assignment by any Limited Partner
of its Partnership Interest until the Partnership has received notice thereof.

 

(b)            Any Person who is the assignee of all or any portion of a Limited
Partner’s Limited Partnership Interest, but who does not become a Substitute
Limited Partner and desires to make a further assignment of such Limited
Partnership Interest, shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article IX
to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to
make an assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest.

 

9.05        Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Incompetence or Termination of a
Limited Partner.

 

The occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a Limited Partner, the death of a
Limited Partner or a final adjudication that a Limited Partner is incompetent
(which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) shall not cause the
termination or dissolution of the Partnership, and the business of the
Partnership shall continue if an order for relief in a bankruptcy proceeding is
entered against a Limited Partner, the trustee or receiver of his estate or, if
he dies, his executor, administrator or trustee, or, if he is finally
adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, and any such
Person shall have the rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling
or managing his estate property and such power as the bankrupt, deceased or
incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any part of his
Partnership Interest and to join with the assignee in satisfying conditions
precedent to the admission of the assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner.

 

9.06        Joint Ownership of Interests.   A Partnership Interest may be
acquired by two individuals as joint tenants with right of survivorship,
provided, that such individuals either are married or are related and share the
same personal residence.  The written consent or vote of both owners of any such
jointly-held Partnership Interest shall be required to constitute the action of
the owners of such Partnership Interest; provided, however, that the written
consent of only one joint owner will be required if the Partnership has been
provided with evidence satisfactory to the counsel for the Partnership that the
actions of a single joint owner can bind both owners under the applicable laws
of the state of residence of such joint owners.  Upon the death of one owner of
a Partnership Interest held in a joint tenancy with a right of survivorship, the
Partnership Interest shall become owned solely by the survivor as a Limited
Partner and not as an assignee.  The Partnership need not recognize the death of
one of the owners of a jointly held Partnership Interest until it shall have
received notice of such death.  Upon notice to the General Partner from either
owner, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership Interest to be divided
into two equal Partnership Interests, which shall thereafter be owned separately
by each of the former joint owners.

shall, elect a safe harbor under which the fair market value of any Partnership
Interests issued after the effective date of such Regulations (or other
guidance) will be treated as equal to the liquidation value of such Partnership
Interests (i.e., a value equal to the total amount that would be distributed
with respect to such interests if the Partnership sold all of its assets for
their fair market value immediately after the issuance of such Partnership
Interests, satisfied its liabilities (excluding any non-recourse liabilities to
the extent the balance of such liabilities exceed the fair market value of the
assets that secure them) and distributed the net proceeds to the Partners under

AMENDMENT OF AGREEMENT; MEETINGS

 

11.01      Amendment.   The General Partner’s consent shall be required for any
amendment to this Agreement.  The General Partner, without the consent of the
Limited Partners, may amend this Agreement in any respect; provided, however,
that the following amendments shall require the consent of Limited Partners
holding more than 50% of the Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners:

 

(a)            any amendment affecting the operation of the Conversion Factor or
the Exchange Right (except as provided in Sections 8.05(d) or 7.01(d) hereof) in
a manner adverse to the Limited Partners;

 

(b)            any amendment that would adversely affect the rights of the
Limited Partners to receive the distributions payable to them hereunder, other
than with respect to the issuance of additional Partnership Units pursuant to
Section 4.02 hereof;

 

(c)            any amendment that would alter the Partnership’s allocations of
Profit and Loss to the Limited Partners, other than with respect to the issuance
of additional Partnership Units pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof; or

 

(d)            any amendment that would impose on the Limited Partners any
obligation to make additional Capital Contributions to the Partnership.

 

The foregoing notwithstanding, the approval of any amendment to this Agreement
that shall be part of a plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion
involving the Partnership or the Partnership Interests shall be governed by
Article XII.

 

11.02      Meetings of Partners.

 

(a)            The Partners may but shall not be required to hold any annual,
periodic or other formal meetings.  Meetings of the Partners may be called by
the General Partner or by any Limited Partner or Limited Partners holding at
least 10% of the Partnership Units in the Partnership.

 

(b)            The Partner or Partners calling the meeting may designate any
place within the State of Texas as the place of meeting for any meeting of the
Partners; and Partners holding at least a majority of the Partnership Units in
the Partnership may designate any place outside the State of Texas as the place
of meeting for any meeting of the Partners.  If no designation is made,

 

52

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

or if a special meeting is called, the place of meeting shall be the principal
place of business of the Partnership.

 

(c)            Except as provided in Section 11.02(d), written notice stating
the place, day and hour of the meeting and the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called shall be delivered not less than ten (10) nor more than ninety
(90) days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at
the direction of the Partner or Partners calling the meeting, to each Partner
entitled to vote at such meeting and to each Partner not entitled to vote who is
entitled to notice of the meeting.

 

(d)            Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, with
respect to any meeting of the Partners, any Partner who in person or by proxy
shall have waived in writing notice of the meeting, either before or after such
meeting, or who shall attend the meeting in person or by proxy, shall be deemed
to have waived notice of such meeting unless such Partner attends for the
express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, and does so
object to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

 

(e)            If all of the Partners shall meet at any time and place, either
within or outside of the State of Texas, in person or by proxy, and consent to
the holding of a meeting at such time and place, such meeting shall be valid
without call or notice, and at such meeting lawful action may be taken.

 

(f)             For the purpose of determining Partners entitled to notice of or
to vote at any meeting of Partners or any adjournment thereof, the date on which
notice of the meeting is mailed shall be the record date. When a determination
of Partners entitled to vote at any meeting of Partners has been made as
provided in this Section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment
thereof.

 

(g)            Partners holding at least a majority of the Partnership Units
entitled to vote at a meeting, represented in person or by proxy, shall
constitute a quorum at any meeting of Partners. In the absence of a quorum at
any such meeting, Partners holding at least a majority of Partnership Units so
represented may adjourn the meeting to another time and place.  Any business
which might have been transacted at the original meeting may be transacted at
any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present.  No notice of an adjourned
meeting need be given if the time and place are announced at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken unless the adjournment is for more than 120
days.  The Partners present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact
business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal during such meeting
of that number Partnership Units whose absence would cause less than a quorum to
be present.

 

(h)            If a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of Partners holding
a majority of the Partnership Units entitled to vote, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall be binding on all Partners, unless the vote of a
greater or lesser proportion or number of Partnership Units or Partners is
otherwise required by applicable law or by this Agreement.  Unless otherwise
expressly provided herein or required under applicable law, Partners who have an
interest (economic or otherwise) in the outcome of any particular matter upon
which the Partners’ vote or consent is required may vote or consent upon any
such matter and their Partnership Units, vote or consent, as the case may be,
shall be counted in the determination of whether the requisite matter was
approved by the Partners.

 

53

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(i)             At all meetings of Partners, a Partner may vote in person or by
proxy executed in writing by the Partner or by the Partner’s duly authorized
attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the General Partner before or
at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after eleven months from the
date of its execution, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

 

(j)             Action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of
Partners may be taken without a meeting if the action is evidenced by one or
more written consents or approvals describing the action taken and signed by
sufficient Partners or Partners holding sufficient Partnership Units, as the
case may be, to approve such action had such action been properly voted on at a
duly called meeting of the Partners.  Action taken under this
Section 11.02(j) is effective when the requisite Partners or Partners with the
requisite Partnership Units, as the case may be, have signed the consent or
approval, unless the consent specifies a different effective date.

organized and the incorporation, formation or organization of the converted
entity is effected in compliance with such laws.

 

(c)            The Partnership may adopt a plan of merger, plan of exchange or

54

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

12.02      Approval of Plan of Merger, Exchange or Conversion.

of conversion be submitted to the Limited Partners for approval without
recommendation; and

 

(ii)            the Limited Partners entitled to vote on the plan of merger,
plan of exchange or plan of conversion must approve the plan.

provisions of this Section 12.02 shall continue to apply), (1) approval by the
Limited Partners on a plan of exchange shall not be required, and the foregoing
provisions of this Section 12.02 do not apply, if the Partnership is the
acquiring entity in the plan of exchange, and (2) approval by the Limited

abandoned (subject to any contractual rights by any of the entities that are a
party thereto), without action by the Limited Partners, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of
conversion or, if no such procedures are set forth in the plan, in the manner
determined by the General Partner.

 

12.03      Rights of Dissenting Limited Partners.

 

(a)            In the absence of fraud in the transaction, the remedy provided
by this Section 12.03 to a Limited Partner voting against any merger, exchange
or conversion or objecting to a merger, exchange or conversion approved by the
written consent of Limited Partners (a “Dissenting Limited Partner”) is the
exclusive remedy for the recovery of the value of his Limited Partnership
interests or money damages with respect to the transaction.  If the existing,
surviving, or new corporation or limited partnership (foreign or domestic) or
other entity, as the case may be, complies with the requirements of this
Section 12.03, any Dissenting Limited Partner who fails to comply with the
requirements of this Section 12.03 shall not be entitled to bring suit for the
recovery of the value of his Limited Partnership interests or money damages with
respect to the transaction.  A “Dissenting Limited Partner” in respect of any
merger, exchange or conversion shall expressly exclude any Limited Partner who
votes in favor of the related plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of
conversion or who abstains or fails to timely vote therefor.  In the event of a
plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion approved by written
consent, a “Dissenting Limited Partner” in respect of any related merger,
exchange or conversion shall expressly exclude Limited Partners who provide such
written consent and Limited Partners who fail to object to the merger, exchange
or conversion and demands payment for such Limited Partner’s Limited Partnership
Interest in writing to the General Partner within twenty (20) days after notice
to the Limited Partners of the receipt by the Partnership of written consents
sufficient to approve such merger, exchange or conversion.  All such Limited
Partners who are not included within the definition of Dissenting Limited
Partner in respect of any merger, exchange or conversion shall participate in
the merger, exchange or conversion according to the approved plan of merger,
plan of exchange or plan of conversion.

 

56

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)            Any Dissenting Limited Partner who has opted for payment for his
Limited Partnership interests shall not thereafter be entitled to vote or
exercise any other rights of a Limited Partner except the right to receive
payment for his Limited Partnership interests and the right to maintain an
appropriate action to obtain relief on the ground that the transaction would be
or was fraudulent.  Limited Partnership Interests of Dissenting Limited Partners
for which payment has been made shall not thereafter be considered outstanding
for the purposes of any subsequent vote of the Limited Partners.

 

(c)            Within twenty (20) days after a Dissenting Limited Partner votes
against any plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion which is
approved by a vote of the Limited Partners, or in connection with a Limited
Partner’s objection to any plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of
conversion approved by the written consent of the Limited Partners, the
Dissenting Limited Partner may demand by written notice to the General Partner
that payment for his Limited Partnership Interest be made.  Upon receipt of such
a payment demand, the General Partner shall (i) make a notation on the records
of the Partnership that such demand has been made and (ii) within a reasonable
period of time after the later of the receipt of a payment demand or the
consummation of the merger, exchange or conversion, cause the Partnership to pay
to the Dissenting Limited Partner the fair value of such Dissenting Limited
Partner’s Partnership Interest without interest.  The fair value of a Dissenting
Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest shall be an amount equal to the
Dissenting Limited Partner’s pro rata share (as would be determined under
Section 5.10 hereof if the Partnership were liquidating) of the appraised value
of the net assets of the Partnership based on an appraisal of all assets of the
Partnership from a Competent Independent Expert.  The assets of the Partnership
shall be appraised on a consistent basis.  The appraisal shall be based on an
evaluation of all relevant information and shall include the current value of
the Partnership’s assets as of the date immediately prior to the proposed
merger, exchange or conversion.  The appraisal shall assume an orderly
liquidation of the Partnership’s assets over a twelve (12) month period, shall
consider other balance sheet items, and shall be net of the assumed cost of
sale.  The terms of the engagement of the appraiser shall clearly state that the
engagement is for the benefit of the Partnership and its Limited Partners.  A
summary of the independent appraisal, including all material assumptions
underlying the appraisal, shall be provided to Dissenting Limited Partners in
connection with the payment of the fair value of their Limited Partnership
Interests.

 

(d)            If a Dissenting Limited Partner shall fail to make a payment
demand within the period provided in Section 12.03(c) hereof or, in respect of a
plan of merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion approved by written
consent of the Limited Partners, shall fail to provide notice of dissent within
the period set forth in Section 12.03(a) hereof, such Dissenting Limited Partner
and all persons claiming under him shall be conclusively presumed to have
approved and ratified the merger, conversion or exchange and shall be bound
thereby, the right of such Dissenting Limited Partner to be paid the fair value
of his Limited Partnership Interest shall cease, and his status as a Limited
Partner shall be restored without prejudice to any proceedings which may have
been taken during the interim, and such Dissenting Limited Partner shall be
entitled to receive any distributions made to Limited Partners in the interim.

 

12.04      Roll-Up Transactions.        If the Partnership adopts any plan of
merger, plan of exchange or plan of conversion which, if effected, would result
in a “Roll-Up Transaction”, as defined in the Articles of Incorporation, then
any such transaction shall be subject to and effected strictly in

 

57

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

compliance with the provisions applicable to Roll-Up Transactions set forth in
Section 13.3 of the Articles of Incorporation.

Partnership created hereby, or any act or failure to act by the Company, the
General Partner or any other Partner hereunder, shall be resolved by binding

(b)            Within 15 days after the giving of a Demand Notice or such

final and binding on the parties hereto, and judgment thereon may be entered by

arising between and among the parties relating to this Agreement and the conduct
of the parties hereto in relation to Partnership matters, and the Company, the
Partnership and its Partners stipulate that the provisions hereof shall be a
complete defense to any suit, action or proceeding in any court or before any

of Partners is obtained unless, as of the date of determination, there are no
Limited Partners entitled to vote or consent who are not Affiliates of the

EXHIBIT D

 

LTIP Units

 

The following are certain additional terms of the LTIP Units:

 

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

 

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

 

1.3           Forfeiture or Transfer of Unvested LTIP Units.  Unless otherwise
specified in the relevant Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event
specified in a Vesting Agreement as resulting in either the forfeiture of any
LTIP Units, or the repurchase by the Partnership or the General Partner of LTIP
Units at a specified purchase price, then, upon the occurrence of the
circumstances resulting in such forfeiture or repurchase by the Partnership or
the General Partner, the relevant LTIP Units shall immediately, and without any
further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any
purpose, or as transferred to the Partnership or General Partner, as applicable.
Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other
payment shall be due with respect to any LTIP Units that have been forfeited,
other than any distributions declared with a record date prior to the effective
date of the forfeiture.

 

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

 

1.5           Distributions.  The distributions to which holders of LTIP Units
will be entitled with respect to their LTIP Units will be determined in
accordance with the terms of the Agreement, including, without limitation,
Article V thereof.

 

1.6           Allocations.  The allocations to which holders of LTIP Units will
be entitled with respect to their LTIP Units will be determined in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement, including, without limitation, Article V
thereof.

 

1.7           Adjustments.  If an LTIP Unit Adjustment Event (as defined below)
occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the
LTIP Units to maintain the

 

D-1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

same correspondence between Common Units and LTIP Units as existed prior to such
LTIP Unit Adjustment Event.  The following shall be “LTIP Unit Adjustment
Events”: (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Common
Units in Partnership Units, (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding
Common Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Common
Units into a smaller number of units, or (C) the Partnership issues any
Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a
reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Units. If more than one LTIP
Unit Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the LTIP Units need be made only
once using a single formula that takes into account each and every LTIP Unit
Adjustment Event as if all LTIP Unit Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. 
If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions
specifically described above as LTIP Unit Adjustment Events and in the opinion
of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the LTIP Units
to maintain the correspondence between Common Unit and LTIP Units as existed
prior to such action, the General Partner shall make such adjustment to the LTIP
Units, to the extent permitted by law and by the terms of any plan pursuant to
which the LTIP Units have been issued, in such manner and at such time as the
General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be appropriate under
the circumstances to maintain such correspondence.  If an adjustment is made to
the LTIP Units as herein provided, the Partnership shall promptly file in the
books and records of the Partnership an officer’s certificate setting forth such
adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which
certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment
absent manifest error. Promptly after filing such certificate, the Partnership
shall mail a notice to each holder of LTIP Units setting forth the adjustment to
his or her LTIP Units and the effective date of such adjustment.

 

1.8           Right to Convert LTIP Units into Common Units.

 

(a)           Conversion Right.  A holder of LTIP Units shall have the right
(the “LTIP Unit Conversion Right”), at his or her option, at any time to convert
all or a portion of his or her Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is
zero into Common Units. Holders of LTIP Units shall not have the right to
convert Unvested LTIP Units into Common Units until they become Vested LTIP
Units; provided, however, that when a holder of LTIP Units is notified of the
expected occurrence of an event that will cause his or her Unvested LTIP Units
to become Vested LTIP Units, such Person may give the Partnership an LTIP Unit
Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting, and
such LTIP Unit Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by the holder of
the LTIP Units, shall be accepted by the Partnership subject to such condition.
In all cases, the conversion of any LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is
zero into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set
forth in this Section 1.8.

 

(b)           Number of Units Convertible.  A holder of Vested LTIP Units may
convert such Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up Target of which is zero into an equal
number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all
adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.7.

 

D-2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(c)           Notice.  In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a
holder of LTIP Units shall deliver a notice (an “LTIP Unit Conversion Notice”)
in the form attached as Exhibit E to the Agreement not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days prior to a date (the “LTIP Unit Conversion Date”) specified in such
LTIP Unit Conversion Notice. Each holder of LTIP Units covenants and agrees with
the Partnership that all Vested LTIP Units to be converted pursuant to this
Section 1.8 shall be free and clear of all liens. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary (but subject to Article VIII of the Agreement), a holder
of LTIP Units may deliver an Exchange Notice pursuant to Section 8.05 of the
Agreement relating to those Common Units that will be issued to such holder upon
conversion of such LTIP Units into Common Units in advance of the LTIP Unit
Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by
the Partnership shall in no event take place until the LTIP Unit Conversion
Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a
holder of LTIP Units in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common
Units into which his or her Vested LTIP Units will be converted can be redeemed
by the Partnership simultaneously with such conversion, with the further
consequence that, if the Company elects to assume the Partnership’s redemption
obligation with respect to such Common Units under Article VIII of the Agreement
by delivering to such holder REIT Shares rather than cash, then such holder can
have such REIT Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of
his or her Vested LTIP Units into Common Units. The General Partner shall
cooperate with a holder of LTIP Units to coordinate the timing of the different
events described in the foregoing sentence.

 

1.9           Forced Conversion.  The Partnership, at any time at the election
of the General Partner, may cause any number of Vested LTIP Units the Book-Up
Target of which is zero held by a holder of LTIP Units to be converted (a “LTIP
Unit Forced Conversion”) into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to
all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 1.7. In order to exercise its
right to cause an LTIP Unit Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a
notice (a “LTIP Unit Forced Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as
Exhibit F to the Agreement to the applicable holder not less than 10 nor more
than 60 days prior to the LTIP Unit Conversion Date specified in such LTIP Unit
Forced Conversion Notice. A Forced LTIP Unit Conversion Notice shall be provided
in the manner provided in Section 13.01 of the Agreement.

 

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

 

D-3

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Person immediately after such conversion.

 

1.11         Treatment of Capital Account.  For purposes of making future
allocations under Section 5.01(i) of the Agreement, the portion of the Economic
Capital Account Balance of the applicable holder of LTIP Units that is treated
as attributable to his or her LTIP Units shall be reduced, as of the date of
conversion, by the product of the number of LTIP Units converted and the Common
Unit Economic Balance.

 

1.12         Mandatory Conversion in Connection with a Capital Transaction.

 

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

 

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

 

D-4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be
received upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by such holder into Common Units
in connection with such Capital Transaction. If a holder of LTIP Units fails to
make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive
upon conversion of each LTIP Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her
transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Common
Unit would receive if such holder of Common Units failed to make such an
election.

 

(c)           Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the General Partner
under any Vesting Agreement and the terms of any plan under which LTIP Units are
issued, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
terms of any Capital Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this
Section 1.12 and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing
entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any holders of LTIP Units whose
LTIP Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the
Capital Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of
LTIP Units that remain outstanding after such Capital Transaction to convert
their LTIP Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the
circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as far as reasonably
possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation,
conversion, and other rights set forth in the Agreement for the benefit of the
holders of LTIP Units.

 

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

 

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

 

1.15         Special Approval Rights.  Except as provided in Section 1.14 above,
holders of LTIP Units shall only (a) have those voting rights required from time
to time by non-waivable provisions of applicable law, if any, and (b) have the
additional voting rights that are expressly set forth in this Section 1.15. The
General Partner and/or the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote
of holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding LTIP Units affected thereby,
given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting
separately as a class), take any action that would materially and adversely
alter, change, modify or amend, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise,
the rights, powers or privileges of such LTIP Units, subject to the following
exceptions: (i) no separate consent of the holders of LTIP Units will be
required if and to the extent that any

such alteration, change, modification or amendment would equally, ratably and
proportionately alter, change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges
of the Common Units (in which event the holders of LTIP Units shall only have
such voting rights, if any, as expressly provided for in the Agreement, in
accordance with Section 1.14 above); (ii) with respect to any merger,
consolidation or other business combination or reorganization, so long as either
(w) the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the transaction, (x) the holders of LTIP Units either will
receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each LTIP Unit an
amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the greatest amount of
cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one Common Unit in
consideration of one Common Unit pursuant to the terms of such transaction,
(y) the LTIP Units remain outstanding with the terms thereof materially
unchanged, or (z) if the Partnership is not the surviving entity in such
transaction, the LTIP Units are exchanged for a security of the surviving entity
with terms that are materially the same with respect to rights to allocations,
distributions, redemption, conversion and voting as the LTIP Units and without
any income, gain or loss expected to be recognized by the holder upon the
exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and with the terms of the Common
Units or such other securities into which the LTIP Units (or the substitute
security therefor) are convertible materially the same with respect to rights to
allocations, distributions, redemption, conversion and voting), such merger,
consolidation or other business combination or reorganization shall not be
deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the rights,
powers or privileges of the LTIP Units, provided further, that if some, but not
all, of the LTIP Units are converted into Common Units immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the transaction (and neither clause (y) or (z) above is
applicable), then the consent required pursuant to this Section will be the
consent of the holders of more than 50% of the LTIP Units to be outstanding
following such conversion; (iii) any creation or issuance of Partnership Units
(whether ranking junior to, on a parity with or senior to the LTIP Units in any
respect, which either (x) does not require the consent of the holders of Common
Units or (y) does require such consent and is authorized by a vote of the
holders of Common Units and LTIP Units voting together as a single class
pursuant to Section 1.14 above, together with any other class or series of units
of limited partnership interest in the Partnership upon which like voting rights
have been conferred, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely alter,
change, modify or amend the rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units; and
(iv) any waiver by the Partnership of restrictions or limitations applicable to
any outstanding LTIP Units with respect to any holder or holders thereof shall
not be deemed to materially and adversely alter, change, modify or amend the
rights, powers or privileges of the LTIP Units with respect to other holders.

 

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