 ARTICLE 3 

BUSINESS OF THE PARTNERSHIP 

The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted
by a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act, provided, however, that such business shall be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT, unless the General Partner otherwise
ceases to qualify as a REIT, (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture or other similar arrangement to engage in any of the foregoing or the ownership of interests in any entity engaged in any of the foregoing and (iii) to do
anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing. In connection with the foregoing, and without limiting the General Partner’s right in its sole and absolute discretion to cease qualifying as a REIT, the Partners acknowledge that the General
Partner’s current status as a REIT and the avoidance of income and excise taxes on the General Partner inures to the benefit of all the Partners and not solely to the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Limited Partners agree
that the General Partner may terminate its status as a REIT under the Code at any time to the full extent permitted under the Articles of Incorporation. The General Partner shall also be empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary or
prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for purposes of Section 7704 of the Code. 

ARTICLE 4 
 CAPITAL
CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOUNTS 
 4.1 Capital Contributions. The General Partner, Original Limited Partner and Special Limited
Partner have made Capital Contributions to the Partnership in exchange for the Partnership Interests set forth opposite their names on Exhibit A, as amended from time to time. 

4.2 Additional Capital Contributions and Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests. Except as provided in this Section 4.2 or
in Section 4.3, the Partners shall have no right or obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership. The General Partner may contribute additional capital to the Partnership, from time to time, and receive
additional Partnership Interests in respect thereof, in the manner contemplated in this Section 4.2. 
 (a) Issuances of Additional
Partnership Interests. 
 (i) General. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to issue such additional
Partnership Interests in the form of Partnership Units for any Partnership purpose at any time or from time to time, to the Partners (including the General Partner) or to other Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall
be established by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, all without the approval of any Limited Partner. Any additional Partnership Interests issued thereby may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of
such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to Limited Partnership Interests, all as shall be determined by the
General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of any Limited Partner, subject to Delaware law, including, without limitation: (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to
each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (ii) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions; and (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon
dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided, however, that no additional Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless: 

  
 12 









 (A) (1) the additional Partnership Interests are issued in connection with an issuance of
REIT Shares of or other interests in the General Partner, which shares or interests have designations, preferences and other rights, all 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 by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 4.2 (without limiting the foregoing, for example, the Partnership shall issue Partnership Interests consisting of Class A
Units to the General Partner in connection with the issuance of Class A REIT Shares, shall issue Partnership Interests consisting of Class T Units to the General Partner in connection with the issuance of Class T REIT Shares and shall
issue Partnership Interests consisting of Class W Units to the General Partner in connection with the issuance of Class W REIT Shares) and (2) the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal
to the proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of such shares of stock of or other interests in the General Partner; 
 (B) the
additional Partnership Interests are issued in exchange for property owned by the General Partner with a fair market value, as determined by the General Partner, in good faith, equal to the value of the Partnership Interests; or 

(C) additional Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners holding Partnership Units in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests. 
 In addition, the General Partner may acquire Partnership Interests from other Partners pursuant to this Agreement. In the
event that the Partnership issues Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.2(a), the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (without any requirement of receiving approval of the Limited Partners) as it deems necessary to
reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests and any special rights, powers, and duties associated therewith. 
 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 General Partner and the Partnership. 
 (ii) Upon Issuance of Additional Securities. The General Partner shall not
issue any Additional Securities other than to all holders of REIT Shares, unless (A) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner, 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, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to those of the Additional Securities, and (B) the
General Partner contributes the net proceeds from the issuance of such Additional Securities and from any exercise of rights contained in such Additional Securities, directly through the General Partner, to the Partnership (without limiting the
foregoing, for example, the Partnership shall issue Limited Partnership Interests consisting of: (1) Class A Units to the General Partner in connection with the issuance of Class A REIT Shares; (2) Class T Units to the
General Partner in connection with the issuance of Class T REIT Shares; and (3) Class W Units to the General Partner in connection with the issuance of Class W REIT Shares); provided, however, that the General Partner is allowed
to issue Additional Securities in connection with an acquisition of a property 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 General Partner and the Partnership by a majority of the Independent Directors (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation). Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue


  
 13 









 
Additional Securities for less than fair market value, and to cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (x) the General Partner
concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the General Partner and the Partnership, including without limitation, the 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 (y) the General Partner contributes all proceeds from such issuance to the Partnership. For example, in the event the General Partner issues REIT Shares for a cash purchase price and contributes all of the proceeds of such
issuance to the Partnership, the General Partner shall be issued a number of additional Partnership Units having the same class designation as the issued REIT Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of such REIT Shares of that class
issued by the General Partner, the proceeds of which were so contributed, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 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
General Partner shall make Capital Contributions to the Partnership of the proceeds therefrom, provided that if the proceeds actually received and contributed by the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result of
any underwriter’s discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the General Partner 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 6.5 hereof and in connection with the required issuance of additional Partnership Units to the General Partner for such
Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof, and any such expenses shall be allocable solely to the class of Partnership Units issued to the General Partner at such time. 

4.3 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 (i) cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside borrowings, or (ii) elect to have the General Partner or any of its
Affiliates provide such Additional Funds to the Partnership through loans or otherwise. 
 4.4 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). If (i) a new or existing Partner acquires an
additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution, (ii) the Partnership distributes to a Partner more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership Interest,
(iii) the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) or (iv) a Partnership Interest (other than a de minimis interest) is granted as consideration for the
provision of services to or for the benefit of the Partnership by an existing Partner acting in a partner capacity, or by a new Partner acting in a partner capacity in anticipation of being a Partner, the General Partner shall revalue the property
of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f). When the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the
Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.1 if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
discretion, and taking into account Section 7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation. 

  
 14 









 4.5 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 effective 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. If the Partners’ Percentage Interests are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Profits and Losses for the
taxable year in which the adjustment occurs shall be allocated 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 either
(i) as if the taxable year had ended on the date of the adjustment or (ii) 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 Profits
and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs. The allocation of Profits and Losses for the earlier part of the year shall be based on the Percentage Interests before adjustment, and the allocation of Profits and Losses for the
later part shall be based on the adjusted Percentage Interests. 
 4.6 No Interest on Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to
interest on its Capital Contribution. 
 4.7 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. 
 4.8 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 Partner shall not be deemed
to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or property of the Partnership and upon a liquidation within the meaning of Treas. Reg. Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), if any Partner has a deficit Capital Account
(after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any Capital
Contribution to reduce or eliminate the negative balance of such Partner’s Capital Account. 
 ARTICLE 5 

PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS 

5.1 Allocation of Profit and Loss. 

(a) General. Profit and Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable period of the Partnership shall be allocated
among the General Partner and the Limited 

  
 15 









 
Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests provided that, subject to the next sentence of this Section 5.1(a), Profit, and to the extent necessary, individual items of
income or gain, shall be allocated to the Special Limited Partner until the Special Limited Partner has received aggregate allocations of Profit, income or gain for all fiscal years equal to the aggregate amount of distributions the Special Limited
Partner is entitled to receive or has received with respect to the Special Limited Partnership Interest for such year and for all prior fiscal years. Items of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to Sales shall first be allocated among the
Partners, including the Special Limited Partner, for each fiscal year in a manner that will as nearly as possible cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other applicable period to equal the amount of
distributions that would be made to such Partner if the Partnership were (i) dissolved and terminated, (ii) its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, (iii) all Partnership liabilities were satisfied
(limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability); and (iv) the net assets of the Partnership were distributed in accordance with Sections 5.2 (a) and (b) hereof to the Partners
immediately after giving effect to such allocation. The General Partner may, in its reasonable discretion, make such other assumptions (whether or not consistent with the above assumptions) as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate
the intended economic arrangement of the Partners. 
 (b) 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” with respect to the “partner nonrecourse debt” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4) to which such partner nonrecourse deduction is
attributable 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 Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) for any Partnership taxable year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth
in Regulations Section 1.704-(2)(g), 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). 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. 

(c) 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 Capital Account that exceeds the sum of such
Partner’s shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and
1.704-2(i), 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
Capital Account balance as quickly as possible as provided in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d); provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) shall be made only if and to the extent that
such Partner would have a deficit Capital Account balance after all other allocations provided for in Article 5 have been tentatively made as if this Section 5.1(c) were not in this Agreement. This Section 5.1(c) is intended to constitute a
“qualified income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. 

  
 16 









 (d) Capital Account Deficits. Loss shall not be allocated to a Limited Partner to the
extent that such allocation would cause or increase a deficit in such Partner’s Capital Account at the end of any fiscal year (after reduction to reflect the items described in Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) in excess of the sum of such Partner’s shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance with Regulations
Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i). 
 (e) Allocations
Between Transferor and Transferee. 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 fiscal year of the Partnership shall
be allocated between the transferor and the transferee Partner either (i) as if the Partnership’s fiscal year had ended on the date of the transfer, or (ii) based on the number of days of such fiscal year that each was a Partner
without regard to the results of Partnership activities in the respective portions of such fiscal 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. 

(f) Definition of Profit and Loss. “Profit” and “Loss” and any items of income, gain, expense, or loss referred to
in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles, as modified by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss shall not include items of
income, gain and expense that are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 5.1(b), 5.1(c) or 5.1(d). All allocations of income, Profit, gain, Loss and expense (and all items contained therein) for federal income tax purposes shall be identical to
all allocations of such items set forth in this Section 5.1, except as otherwise required by Section 704(c) of the Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). The General Partner shall have the authority
to elect the method to be used by the Partnership for allocating items of income, gain, and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code including a method that may result in a Partner receiving a disproportionately larger share of the
Partnership tax depreciation deductions, and such election shall be binding on all Partners. 
 (g) Curative Allocations. The
allocations set forth in Section 5.1(b), (c) and (d) of this Agreement (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Regulations. The General Partner is authorized to offset all Regulatory
Allocations either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.1(g). Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 5.1
(other than the Regulatory Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting special allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner it deems appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made,
each Partner’s Capital Account is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to
Section 5.1(a) and (e). 
 (h) Special Allocations of Class-Specific Items. To the extent that any items of income, gain, loss or
deduction of the General Partner are allocable to a specific class or classes of REIT Shares as provided in the General Partner’s prospectus, including, without limitation, Stockholder Servicing Fees and Dealer Manager Servicing Fees, such
items, or an amount equal thereto, shall be specially allocated to the class or classes of Partnership Units corresponding to such class or classes of REIT Shares. 

5.2 Distributions. 
 (a)
Cash Available for Distribution. The Partnership shall distribute cash (other than Net Sale Proceeds) on a quarterly (or, at the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis, in an 

  
 17 









 
amount determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, to the Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner) who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect
to such quarter (or other distribution period) in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date; provided, however, that if a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for
a Capital Contribution on any date other than the next day after a Partnership Record Date, the cash distribution attributable to such additional Partnership Interest relating to the Partnership Record Date next following the issuance of such
additional Partnership Interest (or relating to the Partnership Record Date if such Partnership Interest was acquired on a Partnership Record Date) shall be reduced in the proportion to (i) the number of days that such additional Partnership
Interest is held by such Partner bears to (ii) the number of days between such Partnership Record Date (including such Partnership Record Date) and the immediately preceding Partnership Record Date, provided that the aggregate distributions
made hereunder to the holders of Class T Units shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate Stockholder Servicing Fee payable by the General Partner with respect to the Class T REIT Shares with respect to such Record Date and the
aggregate distributions made hereunder to the holders of Class W Units shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate Dealer Manager Servicing Fee payable by the General Partner with respect to the Class W REIT Shares with respect
to such Record Date. 
 (b) Net Sale Proceeds. Subject to Section 5.2(g), Net Sale Proceeds shall be distributed as follows: 

(i) First, 100% to the Partners (other than the Special Limited Partner) who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date in accordance
with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date until the General Partner has received cumulative distributions under Section 5.2(a) and this Section 5.2(b), plus any amounts received in redemption of Partnership Units
under Section 9.7 of this Agreement or otherwise, equal to the sum of the Stockholders’ 6% Return and the aggregate Capital Contributions made by the General Partner to the Partnership, determined by taking into account the dates on which
all such Capital Contributions, distributions and redemptions were made; and 
 (ii) Second, (A) 85% to the Partners (other than the
Special Limited Partner) who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date, and (B) 15% to the Special Limited Partner on the Partnership Record Date. 

(c) Subordinated Incentive Listing Distribution. Upon Listing, and as soon as practicable following the determination of Market Value,
the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the Special Limited Partner in complete redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest the Subordinated Incentive Listing Distribution. The Subordinated Incentive Listing
Distribution shall be due and payable to the Special Limited Partner no earlier than seven months and no later than 19 months after Listing in either cash, Partnership Units or REIT Shares (or any combination thereof) in the sole discretion of the
Independent Directors. If the Subordinated Incentive Listing Distribution is paid in Partnership Units or REIT Shares (or any combination thereof) the value on such date shall be determined by the Value of the REIT Shares. 

(d) Subordinated Distribution Due Upon Termination. Upon a Termination, unless such Termination is a voluntary Termination by mutual
assent of the General Partner and the Special Limited Partner (a “Voluntary Termination”) or such Termination is by the General Partner because of a material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor as a result of willful or
intentional misconduct or bad faith on behalf of the Advisor, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the Special Limited Partner in complete redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest the Subordinated


  
 18 









 
Distribution Due Upon Termination payable in the form of a non-interest bearing promissory note (the “Termination Note”). If the Termination Note
has not been paid in full on the earlier of (a) the date the REIT Shares are Listed, or (b) within three (3) years from the Termination Date, then the holder of the Termination Note, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the
balance of the distributions due under the Termination Note into Partnership Units or REIT Shares at a price per share equal to the average closing price of the REIT Shares over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of such
election if the REIT Shares are Listed at such time. If the REIT Shares are not Listed within three (3) years from the Termination Date, the holder of the Termination Note, its successors or assigns, may elect to convert the balance of the
distributions due under the Termination Note into Partnership Units or REIT Shares at a price per share equal to the fair market value for such REIT Shares as determined by the board of directors of the General Partner based upon the Appraised Value
of the Properties, plus the Assets, less the Liabilities, on the date of election. If the General Partner consummates an Extraordinary Transaction and the Termination Note has not yet been paid in full, the Termination Note shall be paid in full on
the closing date of the Extraordinary Transaction. In accordance with Section 736 of the Code, the Termination Note shall be disregarded for applicable income tax purposes and the Special Limited Partner shall continue to be treated as a
partner in the Partnership in respect of its Special Limited Partner Interest for such purposes until the Partnership has satisfied all its obligations under the Termination Note. In the event of a Voluntary Termination, no Subordinated Distribution
Due Upon Termination is payable to the Special Limited Partner, and the Special Limited Partner will be entitled to a redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest in accordance with either Section 5.2(b), (c) or (e) hereof, as applicable.
In the event of a Termination by the General Partner because of a material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor as a result of willful or intentional misconduct or bad faith on behalf of the Advisor, no Subordinated Distribution Due Upon
Termination is payable to the Special Limited Partner, and the Special Limited Partnership Interest shall be redeemed for no consideration. 

(e) Subordinated Distribution Upon Extraordinary Transaction. Upon the occurrence of an Extraordinary Transaction, the General Partner
shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the Special Limited Partner in complete redemption of the Special Limited Partner Interest the Subordinated Distribution Due Upon Extraordinary Transaction. The Subordinated Distribution Due Upon
Extraordinary Transaction shall be paid to the Special Limited Partner on the closing date of the Extraordinary Transaction. The Special Limited Partner may elect to receive the Subordinated Distribution Due Upon Extraordinary Transaction in cash,
Partnership Units or REIT Shares (or any combination thereof) in its sole discretion. 
 (f) Distributions of Cash to Pay Taxes.
Anything in Sections 5.2(c), (d) and (e) notwithstanding, in the event that a distribution under Sections 5.2 (c), (d), or (e) is made other than in cash, a Special Limited Partner may elect, by written notice to the General Partner, to
receive in cash a portion of such distribution equal to the amount the Special Limited Partner has determined in good faith that it or its members will owe in federal or state income taxes on account of such distribution for the year in which the
distribution is received. Furthermore, in the event that a Special Limited Partner has determined in good faith, or a taxing authority has determined, that the Special Limited Partner or its members is subject to federal or state income tax
immediately on any deferred portion of any distribution under Sections 5.2(c), (d) or (e), the Special Limited Partner shall notify the General Partner in writing of such determination and the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to
distribute, prior to the due date for payment of any such income tax, cash, in prepayment of such deferred distributions, in an amount at least equal to the amount of federal and state income tax reasonably estimated by the Special Limited Partner
to be currently payable. 
 (g) Coordination of Special Limited Partner Distributions. The following provisions shall apply to the
General Partner in connection with distributions made pursuant to Sections 5.2(b), (c), (d) or (e) herein: 

  
 19 









 (i) Any Net Sale Proceeds paid to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(b) prior
to Listing shall reduce dollar for dollar the amount of the Subordinated Incentive Listing Distribution distributed pursuant to Section 5.2(c). If the Special Limited Partner receives the Subordinated Incentive Listing Distribution pursuant to
Section 5.2(c), the Special Limited Partner will no longer be entitled to receive distributions of Net Sale Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.2(b), a Termination Note pursuant to Section 5.2(d) or the Subordinated Distribution Due Upon Extraordinary
Transaction pursuant to Section 5.2(e). 
 (ii) Any Net Sale Proceeds paid to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(b) prior
to the Termination Date shall reduce dollar for dollar the amount of the Termination Note to be issued and distributed pursuant to Section 5.2(d). If the Special Limited Partner receives a Termination Note pursuant to Section 5.2(d), (A) the Special
Limited Partner will no longer be entitled to receive distributions of Net Sale Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.2(b), the Subordinated Incentive Listing Distribution pursuant to Section 5.2(c) or the Subordinated Distribution Due Upon Extraordinary
Transaction pursuant to Section 5.2(e), and (B) any Net Sale Proceeds received by the Partnership after the Termination Date shall be applied first to satisfy the Partnership’s obligation to make distributions pursuant to the Termination
Note. 
 (iii) Any Net Sale Proceeds paid to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(b) prior to an Extraordinary Transaction
shall reduce dollar for dollar the amount of the Subordinated Distribution Due Upon Extraordinary Transaction to be distributed pursuant to Section 5.2(e). If the Special Limited Partner receives the Subordinated Distribution Due Upon Extraordinary
Transaction pursuant to Section 5.2(e), the Special Limited Partner will no longer be entitled to receive distributions of Net Sale Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.2(b), the Subordinated Incentive Listing Distribution pursuant to Section 5.2(c) or a
Termination Note pursuant to Section 5.2(d). 
 (iv) If the priority distribution of Net Sale Proceeds to the Special Limited Partner
pursuant to this Section 5.2(g) prevents the Partnership from being able to distribute sufficient amounts to the General Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(b) to enable the General Partner to satisfy its REIT requirements under the Code, the General
Partner may in its sole discretion cause the Partnership to distribute some or all of the Net Sale Proceeds otherwise subject to the priority distribution to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to Section 5.2(g) to the General Partner in an amount
sufficient to enable the General Partner to pay distributions to the Stockholders necessary to satisfy the REIT requirements under the Code. 

(h) Withholding; Partnership Loans. 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, pursuant to Sections
1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of 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 any Partner or assignee (including by reason
of Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner 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 (ii) if the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner is less than the amount required to be withheld by the Partnership, the excess of the amount required to be withheld over the actual
amount to be distributed shall be treated as a loan (a “Partnership Loan”) from the Partnership to the Partner 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 

  
 20 









 
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 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
5.2(b) shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) 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 (ii) 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. 

(i) Limitation on Distributions. 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 distribution as the holder of record of a REIT Share for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been or will be exchanged. 

5.3 REIT Distribution Requirements. The General Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to
distribute amounts sufficient to enable the General Partner to pay stockholder dividends that will allow the General Partner to (i) meet its distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT as set forth in Section 857 of the Code and
(ii) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability imposed by the Code. 
 5.4 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. 
 5.5 Limitations of
Return of Capital Contributions. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article 5, 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 his Capital Contribution, does not
exceed the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets. 
 5.6 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 have been made in accordance with Sections 4.4, 5.1 and 5.2
resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales and dispositions of all or any part of the Partnership’s assets. 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. 
 5.7 Substantial Economic
Effect. It is the intent of the Partners that the allocations of Profit and Loss under this 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 

  
 21 









 
the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code as interpreted by the Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. Article 5 and other relevant provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a
manner consistent with such intent. 
 ARTICLE 6

 22 









 (ix) to prosecute, defend, arbitrate, or compromise any and all claims or liabilities in favor

interest from time to time); 
 (xx) to establish Partnership reserves for working capital, capital expenditures, contingent liabilities,
or any other valid Partnership purpose; 

  
 23 









 (xxi) to merge, consolidate or combine the Partnership with or into another Person;

 (xxiii) to take such other action, execute, acknowledge,
swear to or deliver such other documents and instruments, and perform any and all other acts that the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation and conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership
(including, without limitation, all actions consistent with allowing the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT unless the General Partner voluntarily terminates its REIT status) and to possess and enjoy all of the rights and powers of a
general 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 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. 

6.2 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 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. 
 6.3 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. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not provide for indemnification for an Indemnitee for any liability or loss suffered by
any of them in contravention of Delaware law and unless all of the following conditions are met: 
 (i) The Indemnitee determined, in good
faith, that the course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Partnership. 
 (ii) The Indemnitee
was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Partnership. 
 (iii) Such liability or loss was not the result of: 

(A) negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee (excluding the Independent Directors); or 

  
 24 









 (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct by the Independent Directors. 

Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership. 

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Partnership shall not indemnify an Indemnitee or any Person acting as a broker-dealer for any loss,
liability or expense arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party 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 material 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 Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which securities 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 the Indemnitee in advance of the final
disposition of a proceeding only if (in addition to the procedures required by the Act) all of the following are satisfied: (i) the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the
Partnership, (ii) the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a Limited Partner or, if by a Limited Partner acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement, and
(iii) the Indemnitee undertakes 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 is not entitled to indemnification. 

(d) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.3 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, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall
determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person
against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (f) For purposes of this Section 6.3, the Partnership shall be deemed
to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it to the plan or participants or
beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 6.3; and actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee
with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by 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. 

  
 25 









 (h) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this
Section 6.3 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 6.3 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and
shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. 
 (j) Neither the amendment nor repeal of this
Section 6.3, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Agreement inconsistent with Section 6.3, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to
such amendment, repeal or adoption. 
 6.4 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 of 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. 

(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 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 Partner shall be resolved in favor of the 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 6.1 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 omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect
the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) to prevent the General Partner 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. 

  
 26 









 (e) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.4 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 6.4 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. 

6.5 Reimbursement of General Partner. 

(a) Except as provided in this Section 6.5 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 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 on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in its sole and
absolute discretion, for all Administrative Expenses. 
 6.6 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, any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or stockholder of the General Partner 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, interest or activities. None of the Limited Partners nor 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 the General Partner shall have no 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. 

6.7 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 a buyer, lessor, lessee, 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, 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 are 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.

 6.8 General Partner Participation. The General Partner agrees that all business activities
of the General Partner, including activities pertaining to the acquisition, development or ownership of self-storage properties or other properties, shall be conducted through the Partnership or one or more Subsidiary Partnerships; provided,
however, that the General Partner is allowed to make a direct acquisition, but if and only if, such acquisition is made in connection with the issuance of Additional Securities, which direct acquisition and issuance have been approved and determined
to be in the best interests of the General Partner and the Partnership by a majority of the Independent Directors. 
 6.9 Title to
Partnership Assets. Title to 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. 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 the General Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record 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 General Partner redeems any REIT Shares (other than REIT Shares redeemed in accordance with
the share redemption program of the General Partner through proceeds received from the General Partner’s distribution reinvestment plan), then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the General Partner a number of
Partnership Units as determined based on the application of the Conversion Factor on the same terms that the General Partner exchanged such REIT Shares (without limiting the foregoing, for example, the Partnership shall purchase from the General
Partner, Partnership Interests consisting of: (a) Class A Units in connection with the exchange of Class A REIT Shares; (b) Class T Units in connection with the exchange of Class T REIT Shares; and (c) Class W
Units in connection with the exchange of Class W REIT Shares). Moreover, if the General Partner makes a cash tender offer or other offer to acquire REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a corresponding offer
to the General Partner to acquire an equal number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner. In the event any REIT Shares are exchanged by the General Partner pursuant to such offer, the Partnership shall redeem an equivalent number of the
General Partner’s Partnership Units for an equivalent purchase price based on the application of the Conversion Factor (without limiting the foregoing, for example, the Partnership shall redeem from the General Partner, Partnership Interests
consisting of: (a) Class A Units in connection with the exchange of Class A REIT Shares; (b) Class T Units in connection with the exchange of Class T REIT Shares; and (c) Class W Units in connection with the
exchange of Class W REIT Shares). 
 ARTICLE 7 

CHANGES IN GENERAL PARTNER 

7.1 Transfer of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest. 

(a) The General Partner shall not transfer all or any portion of its General Partnership Interest or withdraw as General Partner except as
provided in or in connection with a transaction contemplated by Section 7.1(b), (c) or (d). 

  
 28 









 (b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1(c) or (d) hereof, the General Partner shall
not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another Person or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, (other than in connection with a change in the General Partner’s state of incorporation or
organizational form) in each case which results in a change of control of the General Partner (a “Transaction”), unless: 
 (i)
the approval of the holders of a majority of the Partnership Units (including the Partnership Units held by the General Partner or an Affiliate thereof) is obtained; 

(ii) as a result of such Transaction all Limited Partners will 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 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 General Partner is the
surviving entity in the Transaction and either (A) the holders of REIT Shares 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. 
 (c) Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b), 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 “Surviving General Partner”), 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 Surviving General
Partner in good faith and (ii) the Surviving General Partner expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner, as appropriate, hereunder. Upon such contribution and assumption, the Surviving General Partner shall have the right
and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this Section 7.1(c). The Surviving General Partner shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount and 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 to 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 adjustment to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for with
respect to the Conversion Factor. The Surviving General Partner also shall in good faith modify the definition of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.4 hereof so as to approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in
Section 8.4 as closely as reasonably possible. The above provisions of this Section 7.1(c) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder. 

  
 29 









 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 General Partner’s board of directors’ fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the General Partner under applicable law. 

(d) Notwithstanding Section 7.1(b), 

(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 may engage in Transactions 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. 
 (e) If the General Partner exchanges any REIT Shares of
any class (“Exchanged REIT Shares”) for REIT Shares of a different class (“Received REIT Shares”), then the General Partner shall, and shall cause the Partnership to, exchange a number of Partnership Units having the same class
designation as the Exchanged REIT Shares, as determined based on the application of the Conversion Factor, for Partnership Units having the same class designation as the Received REIT Shares on the same terms that the General Partner exchanged the
Exchanged REIT Shares. The exchange of Units shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable date of the exchange of REIT Shares, as of which time the holder of class of Units having the same designation as the Exchanged REIT
Shares 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 applicable number of Units having the same designation as the Received REIT Shares. 

7.2 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 thereof 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, and 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 2.5 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 and 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, 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.

 7.3 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 7.4(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), the Partnership shall be dissolved and terminated unless the Partnership is continued
pursuant to Section 7.3(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 7.2 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 7.4(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), 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 2.4 hereof by selecting, subject to Section 7.2 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. 
 7.4 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. 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 7.4 and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.3
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 7.3(b) hereof
and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 7.2 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. Such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and a majority
in interest 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 a majority in interest of the Limited Partners each
shall 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 Partner’s


  
 31 









 
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 default until transfer under Section 7.4(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 7.4(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. 
 ARTICLE 8 

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS 

8.1 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 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. 

8.2 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, to 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. For the purposes of this
Section 8.2, the term “Limited Partner” shall be deemed to include the Special Limited Partner, unless the context otherwise requires. 

8.3 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. 

8.4 Exchange Right. 
 (a)
Subject to Sections 8.4(b), 8.4(c), 8.4(d), 8.4(e) and 8.4(f) and the provisions of any agreements between the Partnership and 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 

  
 32 









 
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 a Notice of Exchange delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner)
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 General Partner elects to purchase the Partnership
Units subject to the Notice of Exchange pursuant to Section 8.4(b); and provided, further, that no Limited Partner may deliver more than two Notices of Exchange 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 Partnership Units if the record date for such distribution is on or after the Specified Exchange Date. 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4(a), a Limited Partner that exercises the Exchange Right shall be deemed to have offered to
sell the Partnership Units described in the Notice of Exchange to the General Partner, and the General Partner 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 General Partner (in its sole and absolute discretion), on the Specified Exchange Date, whereupon the General Partner 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 General Partner shall elect to exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units under this Section 8.4(b) with respect
to a Notice of Exchange, it shall so notify the Exchanging Partner within five Business Days after the receipt by the General Partner of such Notice of Exchange. Unless the General Partner (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall exercise its
right to purchase Partnership Units from the Exchanging Partner pursuant to this Section 8.4(b), the General Partner shall have no obligation to the Exchanging Partner or the Partnership with respect to the Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the
Exchange Right. In the event the General Partner 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 this Section 8.4(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, the Partnership, and the General Partner, as the case may be, shall
treat the transaction between the General Partner, as the case may be, and the Exchanging Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units to the General Partner, as the case may be. Each
Exchanging Partner agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Exchange Right. 

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.4(a) and 8.4(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 General Partner pursuant to Section 8.4(b) (regardless of whether or not the General Partner would in fact exercise its rights under Section 8.4(b)) would (i) result
in such Partner or any other person owning, directly or indirectly, REIT Shares in excess of the Ownership Limit (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation and calculated in accordance therewith), except as provided in the Articles of
Incorporation, (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 General Partner being
“closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or (iv) cause the General Partner to own, directly or constructively, 9.9% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of
the Code. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive the restriction on exchange set forth in this Section 8.4(c). 

  
 33 









 (d) Any Cash Amount to be paid to an Exchanging Partner pursuant to this Section 8.4 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 an additional 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. 
 (f) Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, Strategic Storage Advisor IV, LLC is
prohibited from exchanging or otherwise transferring the Partnership Units purchased by it for $200,000 cash, so long as it continues acting as the Advisor pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. 

ARTICLE 9 
 TRANSFERS OF
LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS 
 9.1 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
Interests is made as a principal for its 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 9.1(a) above and similarly agree not to sell, assign or transfer such
Partnership Interest or fraction thereof to any Person who does not similarly represent, warrant and agree. 
 9.2 Restrictions on
Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests. 
 (a) Subject to the provisions of 9.2(b), (c) and (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 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 a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as
contemplated by clause (a) above or clause (c) below 

  
 34 









 
or a Transfer pursuant to Section 9.5 below) of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to this Article 9 or pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to
Section 8.4. Upon the permitted Transfer or redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner. 

(c) Subject to 9.2(d), (e) and (f) below, 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 descendant or descendants, spouse of such descendant, or brother or sister, or a trust created by such Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner
and/or any such Person(s), of 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 otherwise violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue sky law (including investment suitability standards). 

(e) No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, in whole or in part, may be made to any Person if (i) 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) in the
opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the
Code, or (iii) such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. 

(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 General Partner 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 9 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 9, 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. 
 9.3 Admission
of Substitute Limited Partner. 
 (a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article 9, an assignee of the Limited Partnership Interest
of a Limited Partner (which shall be understood to include any purchaser, 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 satisfactory completion of the following: 

  
 35 









 (i) The assignee shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by the terms and provisions of this
Agreement by executing a counterpart or an amendment thereof, including a revised Exhibit A, and such other documents or instruments as the General Partner may require in order to effect the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner. 

(ii) To the extent required, an amended Certificate evidencing 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 9.1(a) hereof and the agreement set forth in Section 9.1(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 8.2
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. 
 (vii) The assignee has 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 Profits and Losses 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 9.3(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 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 9 to the admission of such Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership. 

9.4 Rights of Assignees of Partnership Interests. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.2 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 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 9 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an
assignment of its Limited Partnership Interest. 

  
 36 









 9.5 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, 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. 

9.6 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 home as tenants in common. 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
owners. 
 9.7 Redemption of Partnership Units. The General Partner will cause the Partnership to redeem Partnership Units, to the
extent it shall have legally available funds therefor, at any time the General Partner redeems shares of capital stock in itself. The number and class or series of Partnership Units redeemed and the redemption price shall equal the number

(c) In the event of a transfer of all or any part of the Partnership Interest of any Partner, the Partnership, at the option of the General
Partner, may elect pursuant to Section 754 of the Code to adjust the basis of the Partnership’s assets. Notwithstanding anything contained in Article 5 of this Agreement, any adjustments made pursuant to Section 754 of the Code shall

consolidated basis with the General Partner, for such fiscal quarter, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. As soon as practicable after the close of each fiscal
year, upon written request by a Limited Partner to the General Partner, the General Partner will make available, without cost, to each Limited Partner an annual report containing financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if
