interest, in recognition of the fact that each of the Partners will be relying upon the power of the General Partner and any Liquidator to act as contemplated by this Agreement in any filing or other action by it on behalf of the Partnership, and it

partnership organized pursuant to the Act, (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture or other similar arrangement to engage in any business described in the foregoing clause (i) or to own interests in any entity engaged, directly or
indirectly, in any such business and (iii) to do anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing; 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 be classified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, unless the General Partner ceases to qualify as a REIT for reasons other than the conduct of the business of the Partnership. In connection with the foregoing, and without limiting the
General Partner’s right in its sole discretion to cease qualifying as a REIT, the Partners acknowledge that the General Partner’s current status as a REIT inures to the benefit of all the Partners and not solely the General Partner.

contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership shall not, absent the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, take, or refrain from taking, any action which, in the judgment of the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, could (i) adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) subject the General Partner to any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, or (iii)
violate any law or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the General Partner or its securities, unless any such action (or inaction) under (i), (ii) or (iii) shall have been specifically consented to by the General
Partner in writing.

capacity as a Partner under this Agreement, shall be responsible or liable for any indebtedness or obligation of another Partner, nor shall the Partnership be responsible or liable for any indebtedness or obligation of any Partner, incurred either

Partner that (i) such Partner has the legal capacity to enter into this Agreement and perform such Partner’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be performed by such Partner will
not result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, any agreement by which such Partner or any of such Partner’s property is or are bound, or any statute, regulation, order or other law to which such Partner is subject, (iii) such

company operating agreement, charter or bylaws, as the case may be, any agreement by which such Partner or any of such Partner’s properties or any of
its partners, members, beneficiaries, trustees or stockholders, as the case may be, is or are bound, or any statute, regulation, order or other law to which such Partner or any of its partners, members, trustees, beneficiaries or stockholders, as

otherwise distributing such interest or any part thereof at any particular time or under any predetermined circumstances. Each Partner further represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling sophisticated
financial matters for itself, particularly real estate investments, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a need for the funds it has invested in the Partnership in what it understands to be a highly speculative
and illiquid investment. Each Partner represents, warrants and agrees that such Partner is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act). 
  
 D. Each Partner acknowledges that (i) the Partnership Units (and any REIT
Shares that might be exchanged therefor) have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available (it being
understood that the Partnership has no intention of so registering the Partnership Units), (ii) a restrictive legend in the form set forth in Exhibit D shall be placed on the certificates representing the Partnership Units, and (iii) a
notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Partnership indicating that the Partnership Units are subject to restrictions on transfer. 
  
 E. Each Limited Partner further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as follows: 
  
 (1) Except as provided in Exhibit E, at any time such Partner actually or Constructively Owns a 25%
or greater capital interest or profits interest in the Partnership, it does not and will not, without the prior written consent of the General Partner, actually own or Constructively Own (a) with respect to any Tenant that is a corporation, any
stock of such Tenant, and (b) with respect to any Tenant that is not a corporation, any interests in either the assets or net profits of such Tenant. 
  
 (2) Except as provided in Exhibit F, at any time such Partner actually or Constructively Owns a 25% or greater capital interest or
profits interest in the Partnership, it does not, and agrees that it will not without the prior written consent of the General Partner, actually own or Constructively Own, any stock in the General Partner, other than any REIT Shares or other shares
of capital stock of the General Partner such Partner may acquire (a) as a result of an exchange of Tendered Units pursuant to Section 8.6 or (b) upon the exercise of options granted or delivery of REIT Shares pursuant to any Stock Plan, in
each case subject to the ownership limitations set forth in the General Partner’s Charter.

 (3) Upon request of the General Partner, it will disclose to the General Partner the
amount of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner, or shares of capital stock or other interests in Tenants, that it actually owns or Constructively Owns. 
  
 (4) It understands that if, for any reason, (a) the representations, warranties or agreements set forth in
E(1) or (2) above are violated, or (b) the Partnership’s actual or Constructive Ownership of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner violates the limitations set forth in the Charter, then (x) some or
all of the Redemption rights of the Partners may become non-exercisable, and (y) some or all of the REIT Shares owned by the Partners may be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary, as provided in the
Charter. 
  
 (5) Without the consent of the
General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, no Partner shall take any action that would cause (i) the Partnership at any time to have more than 100 partners, including as partners (“flow through
partners”) those persons indirectly owning an interest in the Partnership through a partnership, limited liability company, S corporation or grantor trust (such entity, a “flow through entity”), but only if substantially
all of the value of such person’s interest in the flow through entity is attributable to the flow through entity’s interest (direct or indirect) in the Partnership; or (ii) the Partnership Interest initially issued to such Partner or its
predecessors to be held by more than seven (7) partners, including as partners any flow through partners. 
  
 F. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.4 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Partner and
the dissolution and winding-up of the Partnership. 
  
 G. Each
Partner hereby acknowledges that no representations as to potential profit, cash flows, funds from operations or yield, if any, in respect of the Partnership or the General Partner have been made by any Partner or any employee or representative or
Affiliate of any Partner, and that projections and any other information, including, without limitation, financial and descriptive information and documentation, which may have been in any manner submitted to such Partner shall not constitute any
representation or warranty of any kind or nature, express or implied. 
  
 Section
3.5 Certain ERISA Matters 
  
 Each Partner acknowledges
that the Partnership is intended to qualify as a “real estate operating company” (as such term is defined in the Plan Asset Regulation). The General Partner may structure the investments in, relationships with and conduct with respect to
Properties and any other assets of the Partnership so that the Partnership will be a “real estate operating company” (as such term is defined in the Plan Asset Regulation).

 ARTICLE 4. 
 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS 
  
 Section 4.1 Capital
Contributions of the Partners 
  
 At the time of their
respective execution of this Agreement, the Partners shall make or shall have made Capital Contributions as set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement. The Partners shall own Partnership Units of the class or series and in the amounts set forth
in Exhibit A and shall have a Percentage Interest in the Partnership as set forth in Exhibit A, which Percentage Interest shall be adjusted in Exhibit A from time to time by the General Partner to the extent necessary to reflect
accurately exchanges, redemptions, Capital Contributions, the issuance of additional Partnership Units or similar events having an effect on a Partner’s Percentage Interest. Except as required by law, as otherwise provided in Sections
4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 10.5, or as otherwise agreed to by a Partner and the Partnership, no Partner shall be required or permitted to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership. Unless otherwise
specified by the General Partner at the time of the creation of any class of Partnership Interests, the corresponding class or series of capital stock for any Partnership Units issued shall be REIT Shares. 
  
 Section 4.2 Loans by Third Parties 
  
 Subject to Section 4.3, the Partnership may incur Debt, or enter into
other similar credit, guarantee, financing or refinancing arrangements for any purpose (including, without limitation, in connection with any further acquisition of Properties) with any Person that is not the General Partner upon such terms as the
General Partner determines appropriate; provided that, the Partnership shall not incur any Debt that is recourse to the General Partner, except to the extent otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in its sole discretion. 
  
 Section 4.3 Additional Funding and Capital Contributions 
  
 A. General. The General Partner may, at any time and from time to time
determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional Funds”) for the acquisition of additional Properties or for such other Partnership purposes as the General Partner may determine. Additional Funds may be raised
by the Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3. No Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or similar right or rights to subscribe for or
acquire any Partnership Interest, except as set forth in this Section 4.3. 
  
 B. Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may raise all or any portion of the Additional Funds by accepting additional Capital Contributions of
cash. The General Partner may also accept additional Capital Contributions of real property or any other non-cash assets. In connection with any such additional Capital Contributions (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized to
cause the Partnership from time to time to issue to Partners (including the General Partner) or other Persons (including, without limitation, in connection with the contribution of tangible or intangible property, services, or other consideration
permitted by the Act to the Partnership) additional Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests, which may be Common Units or other

Table of Contents


 
Partnership Units issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional, conversion, exchange or other special rights, powers, and duties, including rights, powers, and duties senior to then existing Limited Partner Interests, all as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole and
absolute discretion subject to Maryland law, including without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit to such class or series of Partnership Interests; (ii) the right of each such class or
series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; and (iv) the right to vote, including, without
limitation, the Limited Partner approval rights set forth in Section 11.2.A; provided, that no such additional Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless either (a) (1) the
additional Partnership Interests are issued in connection with the grant, award, or issuance of shares of the General Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.C below, which shares have designations, preferences, and other rights (except voting
rights) such that the economic interests attributable to such shares are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and other rights of the additional Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner in accordance with this Section
4.3.B, and (2) the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to any net proceeds raised in connection with such issuance, or (b) the additional Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners
holding Partnership Interests in the same class in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests in such class or (c) the additional Partnership Interests are issued pursuant to a Stock Plan. The General Partner’s determination that
consideration is adequate shall be conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration relates to whether the Partnership Interests are validly issued and paid. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests pursuant to
this Section 4.3.B, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (including but not limited to the revisions described in Section 5.4, Section 6.2.B, and Section 8.6) as it determines are necessary to
reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. 
  
 C. Issuance of REIT Shares or Other Securities by the General Partner. Except as provided in the next following paragraph of this Section 4.3C, the General Partner shall not issue any additional REIT Shares, other shares of
capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities (other than REIT Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.6 or such shares, stock or securities pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) to all of its stockholders or
all of its stockholders who hold a particular class of stock of the General Partner), unless (i) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner, 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 thereof are substantially similar to those of the REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General Partner or
New Securities issued by the General Partner and (ii) the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution of any net proceeds from the issuance of such additional REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock or New Securities, as the case may be,
and from any exercise of the rights contained in such additional New Securities, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General
Partner or New Securities for no tangible value or for less than fair market value, and the General Partner is expressly authorized 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 of Partnership Interests is in the interests of 

  

 26 







Table of Contents


 
the Partnership; and (y) the General Partner contributes all proceeds, if any, from such issuance and exercise to the Partnership. 
  
 In connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering of REIT
Shares, any other issuance of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, the General Partner shall contribute to the Partnership, any net proceeds raised in connection with such issuance; provided, that
the General Partner may use a portion of the net proceeds from any offering to acquire Partnership Units or other assets (provided such other assets are contributed to the Partnership pursuant to the terms of this Agreement); and
provided, further, that if the net proceeds actually received 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, except to the extent such net proceeds are used to acquire Partnership Units, the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the net
proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such underwriter’s discount and other expenses paid by the General Partner (which discount and expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section
7.4). In the case of issuance of REIT Shares by the General Partner in any offering, whether registered under the Securities Act or exempt from such registration, underwritten, offered and sold directly to investors or through agents or other
intermediaries, or otherwise distributed, for purposes of determining the number of additional Common Units issuable upon a Capital Contribution funded by the net proceeds thereof consistently with the immediately preceding sentence, any discount
from the then current market price of REIT Shares shall be disregarded such that an equal number of Common Units can be issued to the General Partner as the number of REIT Shares sold by the General Partner in such offering, consistently with the
determination of Partners’ Percentage Interests as provided in Section 4.3.D. In the case of issuances of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities pursuant to any Stock Plan at a discount from fair market
value or for no value, the amount of such discount representing compensation to the employee, as determined by the General Partner, shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section 7.4 and, as a
result, the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the sum of any net proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such expense. 
  
 D. Percentage Interest Adjustments in the Case of Capital Contributions
for Partnership Units. Upon the acceptance of additional Capital Contributions in exchange for any class or series of Partnership Units, the Percentage Interest of each Partner in such class or series of Partnership Units shall be equal to a
fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of the Partnership Interest of such Partner in respect of such class or series (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment
Date) and (ii) the Agreed Value of additional Capital Contributions, if any, made by such Partner to the Partnership in such class or series of Partnership Interests as of such Adjustment Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i)
the Deemed Value of the Partnership Interests of such class or series (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date), plus (ii) the aggregate Agreed Value of additional Capital Contributions contributed by all
Partners and/or third parties to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in such class or series. Provided, however, solely for purposes of calculating a Partner’s Percentage Interest pursuant to this Section 4.3.D, (i) in
the case of cash Capital Contributions by the 

  

 27 







Table of Contents


 
General Partner funded by an offering of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner and (ii) in the case of the contribution of
properties by the General Partner which were acquired by the General Partner in exchange for REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the General Partner immediately prior to such contribution, the General Partner shall be issued a number of
Partnership Units equal and corresponding to the number of such shares issued by the General Partner in exchange for such cash or Properties, the Partnership Units held by the other Partners shall not be adjusted, and the Partners’ Percentage
Interests shall be adjusted accordingly. The General Partner shall promptly give each Partner written notice of its Percentage Interest, as adjusted. This Section 4.3.D shall not apply to the issuance of Profits Interest Units, which shall be
governed by Section 4.5, and the General Partner may adjust Percentage Interests in a manner that is different from the provisions of this Section 4.3.D to the extent it reasonably determines it is appropriate to do so to reflect the
value of the respective Capital Contributions made to the Partnership and the number of Partnership Units issued with respect thereto. 
  
 Section 4.4 Other Contribution Provisions. In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given (or is treated as having received) a Capital
Account at the time of admission in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash, and the Partner had
contributed such cash to the capital of the Partnership. In addition, with the consent of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, one or more Limited Partners may enter into agreements with the Partnership, in the form of a guarantee or
contribution agreement, which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership. 
  
 Section 4.5 Profit Interest Units. The General Partner may from time to time issue Profits Interest Units to Persons who provide services to the Partnership, for
such consideration or for no consideration as the General Partner may determine to be appropriate, and admit such Persons as Limited Partners. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.5 and the special provisions of Sections 4.3.D,
6.2.C, 8.7 and 8.8, Profits Interest Units shall be treated as Common Units, with all of the rights, privileges and obligations attendant thereto. For purposes of computing the Partners’ Percentage Interests, Profits Interest Units shall be
treated as Common Units. In particular, the Partnership shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between Profits Interest Units and Common Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying
with the following procedures: 
  
 A. If an Adjustment Event
occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the Profits Interest Units to maintain a one-for-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between Common Units and Profits Interest Units. The following shall be
“Adjustment Events”: (i) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Partnership Units, (ii) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of units or combines the
outstanding Common Units into a smaller number of units, or (iii) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Units. If more than one
Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the Profits Interest Units need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every Adjustment Event as if all Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of
doubt, the following shall not be Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Partnership Units in a financing, 

  

 28 







Table of Contents


 
reorganization, acquisition or other similar business transaction, (y) the issuance of Partnership Units pursuant to any employee benefit or compensation
plan or distribution reinvestment plan, or (z) the issuance of any Partnership Units to the Company in respect of a Capital Contribution to the Partnership of proceeds from the sale of securities by the Company. If the Partnership takes an action
affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as “Adjustment Events” and in the opinion of the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the Profits Interest Units to maintain the one-to-one
correspondence described above, the General Partner shall have the right to make such adjustment to the Profits Interest Units, to the extent permitted by law and by any applicable Stock Plan or other compensatory arrangement or incentive program
pursuant to which Profits Interest Units are issued, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to be reasonably appropriate under the circumstances. If an adjustment is made to the Profits Interest
Units as herein provided the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer’s certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate
shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each Profits Interest Unitholder setting forth the adjustment to his or her
Profits Interest Units and the effective date of such adjustment. 
  
 B. Unless otherwise provided by the General Partner with respect to any particular class or series of Profits Interest Units, the Profits Interest Unitholders shall, in respect of each Distribution Payment Date, when, as and if authorized
and declared by the General Partner out of assets legally available for that purpose, be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per Profits Interest Unit equal to the distributions per Common Unit, paid to holders of record on the same
record date established by the General Partner with respect to such Distribution Payment Date. References to additional Partnership Interests in Section 5.4 shall be deemed to include Profits Interest Units issued during a Distribution Period
and such Section 5.4 shall apply in full to Profits Interest Units. Unless otherwise provided by the General Partner with respect to any particular class or series of Profits Interest Units, (x) during any Distribution Period, so long as any
Profits Interest Units are outstanding, no distributions (whether in cash or in kind) shall be authorized, declared or paid on Common Units, unless equal distributions have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid on the Profits
Interest Units for such Distribution Period, (y), the Profits Interest Units shall rank pari passu with the Common Units as to the payment of regular and special periodic or other distributions and distribution of assets, and (z) any class or
series of Partnership Units or Partnership Interests which by its terms specifies that it shall rank junior to, on a parity with, or senior to the Common Units with respect to distributions shall also rank junior to, on a parity with, or senior to,
as the case may be, the Profits Interest Units. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5.B, proceeds from a Liquidating Event shall be distributed to Holders of Partnership Units as set forth in Sections 5.3 and
13.2. Subject to the terms of any Vesting Agreement, a Profits Interest Unitholder shall be entitled to transfer his or her Profits Interest Units to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions as holders of Common Units are
entitled to transfer their Common Units pursuant to Article 11. 
  

 29 







Table of Contents


 C. Profits Interest Units shall be subject to the following special provisions: 
  
 (a) Vesting Agreements. Profits Interest Units may,
in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms of a Vesting Agreement. The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner
from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the Plan, if applicable. Profits Interest Units that were fully vested when issued or that have vested under the terms
of a Vesting Agreement are referred to as “Vested Profits Interest Units”; all other Profits Interest Units shall be treated as “Unvested Profits Interest Units.” 
  
 (b) Forfeiture. Unless otherwise specified in the
Vesting Agreement or in any applicable Stock Plan or other compensatory arrangement or incentive program pursuant to which Profits Interest Units are issued, upon the occurrence of any event specified in such Vesting Agreement, Stock Plan,
arrangement or program as resulting in either the right of the Partnership or the General Partner to repurchase Profits Interest Units at a specified purchase price or some other forfeiture of any Profits Interest Units, then if the Partnership or
the General Partner exercises such right to repurchase or forfeiture or upon the occurrence of the event causing forfeiture in accordance with the applicable Vesting Agreement, Stock Plan, arrangement or program, then the relevant Profits Interest
Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Vesting Agreement, Stock Plan, arrangement or program, no consideration or other
payment shall be due with respect to any Profits Interest Units that have been forfeited, other than any distributions declared with respect to a Partnership Record Date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. In connection with any
repurchase or forfeiture of Profits Interest Units, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the Profits Interest Unitholder that is attributable to all of his or her Profits Interest Units shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by
which it exceeds the target balance contemplated by Section 6.2.C, calculated with respect to the Profits Interest Unitholder’s remaining Profits Interest Units, if any. 
  
 (c) Allocations. Profits Interest Unitholders shall
be entitled to certain special allocations of gain under Section 6.2.C. 
  
 (d) Redemption. The Redemption Right provided to Limited Partners under Section 8.6 shall not apply with respect to Profits
Interest Units unless and until they are converted to Partnership Units as provided in clause (vi) below and Section 8.7. 
  
 (e) Legend. Any certificate evidencing an Profits Interest Unit shall bear an appropriate legend indicating that additional terms,
conditions and restrictions on transfer, including without limitation any Vesting Agreement, apply to the Profits Interest Unit.

 Section 4.6 No Preemptive Rights 
  
 Except to the extent expressly granted by the Partnership pursuant to another agreement, no Person shall have any
preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to (i) additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or (ii) issuance or sale of any Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests. 
  
 ARTICLE 5. 
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
 Section 5.1
Requirement and Characterization of Distributions 
  
 The
General Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute quarterly all, or such portion as the General Partner may in its discretion determine, of Available Cash generated by the Partnership to the Partners who are Partners on the applicable
Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution, (1) first, with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interests that are entitled to any preference in distributions, in accordance with the rights of such class or series of
Partnership Interests (and within such class or series, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on the applicable Partnership Record Date), and (2) second, with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interests that are
not entitled to any preference in distributions, pro rata to each such class or series in accordance with the terms of such class or series to the Partners who are Partners of such class or series on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such
distribution (and within each such class or series, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date). Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or in an agreement, if any, entered into in connection
with the creation of a new class or series of Partnership Interests created in accordance with Article 4, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any other Partnership Interest. The General Partner shall
take such reasonable efforts, as determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with its qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the General Partner, for so long as the
General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (“REIT Requirements”), and (b) except to the extent
otherwise determined by the General Partner, avoid the imposition of any federal income or excise tax liability on the General Partner, except to the extent that a distribution pursuant to clause (b) would prevent the Partnership from making a
distribution to the Holders of Series A Preferred Units in accordance with Section 16.2. 
  
 Section 5.2 Distributions in Kind 
  
 Except as expressly provided herein, no right is given to any Partner to demand and receive property other than cash. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution
in-kind to the Partners of Partnership assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 10.

 Section 5.3 Distributions Upon Liquidation 
  
 Notwithstanding Section 5.1, proceeds from a Liquidating Event shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance
with Section 13.2. 
  
 Section 5.4 Distributions to Reflect Issuance of
Additional Partnership Interests 
  
 In the event that the
Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.B, 4.3.C or 4.5, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Article 5 as it
determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. In the absence of any agreement to the contrary, an Additional Limited Partner shall be entitled to the distributions set forth in Section 5.1 (without
regard to this Section 5.4) with respect to the period during which the closing of its contribution to the Partnership occurs, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from and after the date of such closing
through the end of the applicable period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such period. 
  
 ARTICLE 6. 
 ALLOCATIONS 
  
 Section 6.1 Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss 
  
 Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated
with respect to each Partnership Year of the Partnership as of the end of each such year. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 6, an allocation to a Partner of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of
the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss. 
  
 Section 6.2 General Allocations 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, Net Income and Net Loss allocable with respect to a class of Partnership Interests shall be
allocated to each of the Holders holding such class of Partnership Interests in accordance with their respective Percentage Interest of such class. 
  
 A. Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses. 
  
 (1) Net Income. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, Net Income for any Partnership Year shall be allocated to the
Partners in the following manner and order of priority: 
  
 (a) First, to the General Partner in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.2.A.2(d) for all prior Partnership Years
minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.2.A.(1)(a) for all prior Partnership Years; 
  

 32 







Table of Contents


 (b) Second, to each Limited Partner in an amount equal to the remainder, if any,
of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to each such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 6.2.A.2(c) for all prior Partnership Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section
6.2.A.(1)(b) for all prior Partnership Years; 
  
 (c) Third, to the General Partner in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to the General Partner pursuant to Section 6.2.A.2(b) for all prior Partnership Years minus the
cumulative Net Income allocated to such Partner pursuant to this Section 6.2.A.1(c) for all prior Partnership Years; 
  
 (d) Fourth, to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net
Losses allocated to each such Partner pursuant to Section 6.2.A.2(a) for all prior Partnership Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to each Partner pursuant to this Section 6.2.A.(1)(d) for all prior Partnership
Years; 
  
 (e) Fifth, to the General
Partner in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the cumulative Series A Priority Return on the Series A Preferred Units to the last day of the current Partnership Year or to the date of redemption of the Series A Preferred Units, to the extent such
Series A Preferred Units are redeemed during such year, over (ii) the cumulative Net Income allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.2.A.1(e) for all prior Partnership Years; and 
  
 (f) Sixth, to each of the Partners in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests in the Common-Equivalent Units. 
  
 To the extent the allocations of Net Income set forth above in any paragraph of this Section 6.2.A.(1) are not sufficient to entirely satisfy the allocation set forth in such paragraph, such allocation shall be
made in proportion to the total amount that would have been allocated pursuant to such paragraph without regard to such shortfall. 
  
 (2) Net Losses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, Net Losses for any Partnership Year shall be allocated to the
Partners in the following manner and order of priority: 
  
 (a) First, to the General Partner and the Limited Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in the Common-Equivalent Units (to the extent consistent with this Section 6.2.A(2)(a))
until the Adjusted Capital Account Balance (ignoring for this purpose any amounts a Partner is obligated to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or is deemed obligated to contribute pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2) and
ignoring the General Partner’s Series A Preferred Capital) of each such Partner is zero; 
  
 (b) Second, to the General Partner (ignoring for this purpose any amounts the General Partner is obligated to contribute to the
capital of the Partnership or is deemed obligated to contribute pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c)(2)), until the Adjusted Capital Account (as so modified) of the General Partner is zero; 
  

 33 







Table of Contents


 (c) Third, to the Limited Partners to the extent of, and in proportion to, the
positive balance (if any) in their Adjusted Capital Accounts; and 
  
 (d) Fourth, to the General Partner. 
  
 B. Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner, a Limited Partner or any
Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 6.2 as it determines are necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests,
including making preferential allocations to certain classes of Partnership Interests, subject to the terms of the Series A Preferred Units, in accordance with any method selected by the General Partner. 
  
 C. Special Allocation of Gain to Profits Interest Unitholders.
Notwithstanding the allocations set forth in Section 6.2.A(1) above, any net capital gains realized in connection with the actual or hypothetical sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, including but not limited to
net capital gain treated as realized in connection with an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Partnership assets as set forth in the definition of such term, shall first be allocated to the Profits Interest Unitholders until the Economic Capital
Account Balances of such Limited Partners, to the extent attributable to their ownership of Profits Interest Units, are equal to (i) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of their Profits Interest Units. For this purpose,
the “Economic Capital Account Balances” of the Profits Interest Unitholders will be equal to their Capital Account balances, plus the amount of their shares of any Partner Minimum Gain or Partnership Minimum Gain, in each case to
the extent attributable to their ownership of Profits Interest Units. Similarly, the “Common Unit Economic Balance” shall mean (i) the Capital Account balance of the Company, plus the amount of the Company’s share of any
Partner Minimum Gain or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either case to the extent attributable to the Company’s ownership of Common Units and computed on a hypothetical basis after taking into account all allocations through the date on which any
allocation is made under this Section 6.2.C, divided by (ii) the number of the Company’s Common Units. Any such allocations shall be made among the Profits Interest Unitholders in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to
each under this Section 6.2.C. The parties agree that the intent of this Section 6.2.C is to make the Capital Account balances of the Profits Interest Unitholders with respect to their Profits Interest Units economically equivalent to
the Capital Account balance of the Company with respect to its Common Units. 
  
 D. Allocations in Connection with a Liquidating Event. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, the allocations of Net Income and Net Loss set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2
or, if necessary, allocations of individual items of income, gain, loss and deduction which comprise such Net Income or Net Loss, shall be adjusted to the extent necessary so as to result in the Capital Account balance of each Partner being such
that distributions to the Partners pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event shall be made first to the General Partner in an amount equal to the Series A Preferred Capital, and thereafter to Holders of
Common-Equivalent Units in accordance with their Percentage Interests in such Units.

 Section 6.3 Additional Allocation Provisions 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6: 
  
 A. Regulatory Allocations. 
  
 (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise
provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, or any other provision of this Article 6, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership Year, each Holder shall
be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section
1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations
Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(i) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between
such Regulation and this Section 6.3.A(i). 
  
 (ii) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, or any other provision of this Article 6 (except Section
6.3.A(i)), if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease
in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4). Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to
be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(ii) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of
partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section 6.3.A(ii). 
  
 (iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse
Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in Common-Equivalent Units. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any
Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in accordance with Regulations Sections
1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i). 
  
 (iv)
Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated, in 

  

 35 







Table of Contents


 
accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such
Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Holder as quickly as possible provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital
Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(iv) were not in this Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3.A(iv) qualify and be construed as a
“qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulations and this Section 6.3.A(iv). 
  
 (v) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Holder
has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any Partnership Year which is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any) such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership, and (2) the amount such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore
pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such
excess as quickly as possible, provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other
allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(v) and Section 6.3.A(iv) were not in this Agreement. 
  
 (vi) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent any allocation of Net Loss would cause or
increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in Common-Equivalent Units subject to the limitations of
this Section 6.3.A(vi). 
  
 (vii)
Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder in complete liquidation of his interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts
shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their interests in the
Partnership in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holders to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 
  
 (viii) Curative Allocation. The allocations set forth
in Sections 6.3.A(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and (vii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of
Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders
so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of 

  

 36 







Table of Contents


 
other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the
Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. 
  
 B. For purposes of
determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s interest in Partnership profits shall be such
Holder’s Percentage Interest in Common-Equivalent Units. 
  
 Section 6.4
Tax Allocations 
  
 A. In General. Except as
otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for income tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of
“book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3. 
  
 B. Allocations Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A, Tax Items with respect to Partnership property that is
contributed to the Partnership by a Partner shall be shared among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the basis of the
property to the Partnership and its initial Gross Asset Value. With respect to Partnership property that is contributed to the Partnership in connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering or pursuant to the Partnership’s
exercise of rights under any Option Agreement or ROFO Agreement, such variation between basis and initial Gross Asset Value shall be taken into account under the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b). With
respect to other properties contributed to the Partnership, the Partnership shall account for such variation under any method consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event
the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value (provided in Article 1), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the
variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations consistent with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g)
using any method approved under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General Partner, provided, however, that the “traditional method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b) shall
be used with respect to Partnership Property that is contributed to the Partnership in connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering or pursuant to the Partnership’s exercise of rights under any Option Agreement or ROFO
Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 7. 
 MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS OF BUSINESS 
  
 Section 7.1 Management 
  
 A. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership are and shall be
exclusively vested in the General Partner, and no Limited Partner shall have any right to participate in or exercise control

benefit of any or all Indemnitees. 
  
 D. At all times from and
after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to establish and maintain working capital and other reserves in such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time
to time. 
  
 E. In exercising its authority under this Agreement,
the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner (including the General Partner) of any action taken (or not taken) by the General Partner. The General Partner and the Partnership
shall not have liability to a Partner under this Agreement as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement.

  
 F. 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. 
  
 Section 7.2 Certificate of Limited
Partnership 
  
 To the extent that such action is determined
by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in
which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws

of the State of Maryland and to maintain the Partnership’s qualification to do business as a foreign limited partnership in each other state, the
District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A(4), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a
copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the
formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Maryland, any other state, or the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in
which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. 
  
 Section 7.3
Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority 
  
 A. The
General Partner may not take any action in contravention of an express prohibition or limitation of this Agreement without the written Consent of the Limited Partners and may not (i) perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner to liability
as a general partner in any jurisdiction or any liability not contemplated herein or under the Act; or (ii) enter into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting, the
ability of a Limited Partner to exercise its rights to a Redemption as provided in Section 8.6, except in each case with the written consent of such Limited Partner. 
  
 B. The General Partner shall not, without the prior Consent of the Limited Partners, or except as provided in Section
7.3.C, amend, modify or terminate this Agreement. 
  
 C.
Notwithstanding Section 7.3.B, the General Partner shall have the exclusive power to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes: 
  
 (1) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or
surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners; 
  
 (2) to reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests pursuant to Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.4 and
6.2.B or the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement (which may be effected through the replacement of Exhibit A with an amended Exhibit A); 
  
 (3) to set forth or amend the designations, rights, powers,
duties, and preferences of the holders of any additional Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Article 4; 
  
 (4) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any material respect,
or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or
with the provisions of this Agreement;

directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law; 
  
 (6) to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for the General Partner to maintain its status as a REIT, including changes which
may be necessitated due to a change in applicable law (or an authoritative interpretation thereof) or a ruling of the IRS; and 
  
 (7) to modify, as set forth in the definition of “Capital Account,” the manner in which Capital Accounts are computed.

  
 The General Partner will provide notice to
the Limited Partners when any action under this Section 7.3.C is taken. 
  
 D. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3.B and 7.3.C, this Agreement shall not be amended with respect to any Partner adversely affected, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of
such Partner adversely affected if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership into a general partner’s interest (except as the result of the General Partner acquiring such interest), (ii)
modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5, Section 13.2.A(4) or Article 16 or the allocations specified in Article 6 (except as
permitted pursuant to Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 5.4, 6.2.B and Section 7.3.C(3)), (iv) adversely alter or modify the rights to a Redemption or the REIT Shares Amount as set forth in Section 8.6, and
related definitions hereof, (v) alter the protections of the Limited Partners as set forth in Section 11.2.B or (vi) amend this Section 7.3.D. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set
forth elsewhere in this Section 7.3 without the Consent specified in such section. This Section 7.3D does not require unanimous consent of all Partners adversely affected unless the amendment is to be effective against all partners
adversely affected. 
  
 Section 7.4 Reimbursement of the General Partner

  
 A. Except as provided in this Section 7.4 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 Partnership shall be responsible for and
shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership’s and the General Partner’s organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to pay compensation for
accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management and other services rendered to the Partnership. Except to the extent provided in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates 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 expenses that the General Partner and its Affiliates incur relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without
limitation, administrative expenses); provided, that the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on
behalf of the 

  

 43 







Table of Contents


 
Partnership. The Partners acknowledge that all such expenses of the General Partner are deemed to be for the benefit of the Partnership. Such reimbursement
shall be in addition to any reimbursement made as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. In the event that certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other entities (including the General
Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and reasonable. All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be
characterized for federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner. 
  
 C. If the General Partner shall elect to purchase from its stockholders REIT Shares for the purpose of delivering such REIT Shares to satisfy an
obligation under any dividend reinvestment program adopted by the General Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner, or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General Partner in the future or for the
purpose of retiring such REIT Shares, the purchase price paid by the General Partner for such REIT Shares and any other expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with such purchase shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and
shall be advanced by the Partnership to the General Partner or reimbursed by the Partnership to the General Partner, subject to the condition that: (i) if such REIT Shares subsequently are sold by the General Partner, the General Partner shall pay
to the Partnership any proceeds received by the General Partner for such REIT Shares (which sales proceeds shall include the amount of dividends reinvested under any dividend reinvestment or similar program; provided, that a transfer
of REIT Shares for Common Units pursuant to Section 8.6 would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and (ii) if such REIT Shares are not retransferred by the General Partner within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, or the
General Partner otherwise determines not to retransfer such REIT Shares, the General Partner, shall cause the Partnership to redeem a number of Common Units held by the General Partner equal to the number of such REIT Shares, as adjusted (x)
pursuant to Section 7.5 (in the event the General Partner acquires material assets, other than on behalf of the Partnership) and (y) for stock dividends and distributions, stock splits and subdivisions, reverse stock splits and combinations,
distributions of rights, warrants or options, and distributions of evidences of indebtedness or assets relating to assets not received by the General Partner pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership (in which case such
advancement or reimbursement of expenses shall be treated as having been made as a distribution in redemption of such number of Common Units held by the General Partner). 
  
 D. As set forth in Section 4.3, the General Partner shall be treated as having made a Capital Contribution in the
amount of all expenses that it incurs relating to the General Partner’s offering of REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities. 
  
 E. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.4 constitute gross
income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated
consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts.

 Section 7.5 Outside Activities of the General Partner 
  
 A. Except in connection with a transaction authorized in Section 11.2,
without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, enter into or conduct any business, other than in connection with the ownership, acquisition and disposition of Partnership Interests as a General
Partner and the management of the business of the Partnership, its operation as a public reporting company with a class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, its operation as a REIT and such activities as are incidental to
the same. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.5, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, the General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, participate in or otherwise acquire any interest in any real or personal
property, except its General Partner Interest, its minority interest in any Subsidiary Partnership(s) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary Partnership’s status as a partnership, and such bank accounts, similar
instruments or other short-term investments as it deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter. In the event the General Partner desires to contribute cash to any Subsidiary Partnership to
acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, the General Partner may acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, and the General Partner may acquire such cash from the
Partnership as a loan or in exchange for a reduction in the General Partner’s Partnership Units, in an amount equal to the amount of such cash divided by the Fair Market Value of a REIT Share on the day such cash is received by the General
Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may acquire Properties or other assets in exchange for REIT Shares or cash, to the extent such Properties or other assets are immediately contributed by the General Partner to the
Partnership, pursuant to the terms described in Section 4.3.D. Any Limited Partner Interests acquired by the General Partner, whether pursuant to exercise by a Limited Partner of its right of Redemption, or otherwise, shall be automatically
converted into a General Partner Interest comprised of an identical number of Partnership Units with the same rights, priorities and preferences as the class or series so acquired. The General Partner may also own one-hundred percent (100%) of the
stock or interests of one or more Qualified REIT Subsidiaries or limited liability companies, respectively, provided that any such entity shall be subject to the limitations of this Section 7.5.A. If, at any time, the General
Partner acquires material assets (other than Partnership Interests or other assets on behalf of the Partnership), the definition of “REIT Shares Amount” and the definition of “Deemed Value of Partnership Interests” shall
be adjusted, as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to reflect the relative Fair Market Value of a share of capital stock of the General Partner relative to the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of the related Partnership Unit. The General
Partner’s General Partner Interest in the Partnership, its minority interest in any Subsidiary Partnership(s) (held directly or indirectly through a Qualified REIT Subsidiary) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary
Partnership’s status as a partnership, and interests in such short-term liquid investments, bank accounts or similar instruments as the General Partner deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the
Charter are interests which the General Partner is permitted to acquire and hold for purposes of this Section 7.5.A. 
  
 B. In the event the General Partner exercises its rights under the Charter to purchase REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New
Securities, as the case may be, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from it a number of Partnership Units equal to the number of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General Partner or New 

  

 45 







Table of Contents


 
Securities, as the case may be, so purchased on the same terms that the General Partner purchased such REIT Shares, other capital stock of the General
Partner or New Securities, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 7.6 Contracts with
Affiliates 
  
 A. The Partnership may lend or contribute to,
and borrow funds from, Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from, and lend or contribute funds to, 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 Person. 
  
 B. Except as provided in Section 7.5.A, 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 consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems advisable. 
  
 C. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the
Partnership employee benefit plans (including without limitation plans that contemplate the issuance of Profits Interests Units) funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the
Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed or to be performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of such entities. The General Partner also is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to it
Common Units corresponding to REIT Shares issued by the General Partner pursuant to any Stock Plan or any similar or successor plan and to repurchase such Partnership Units from the General Partner to the extent necessary to permit the General
Partner to repurchase such REIT Shares in accordance with such plan. 
  
 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 determined by the General Partner in good faith to be fair and reasonable. 
  
 E. The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, a right of first opportunity arrangement and
other conflict avoidance agreements with various Affiliates of the Partnership and the General Partner, on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are advisable. 
  
 Section 7.7 Indemnification 
  
 A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify an
Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, subpoenas,
requests for information, formal or informal investigations, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership or the General Partner as set forth in this Agreement in
which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a 

  

 46 







Table of Contents


 
party or otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and
either was committed in bad faith, constituted fraud or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal
proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any
indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby
authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such
indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any
proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or any entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this
Section 7.7.A. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from liability policies covering the General Partner and any Indemnitee, and neither
the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7, except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership. 
  
 B. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding or the recipient of a subpoena or request for information with respect to a proceeding to which such Indemnitee is not a party may be paid or reimbursed by the
Partnership in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by
the Partnership as authorized in this Section 7.7 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met.

  
 C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7
shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to
serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified. 
  
 D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, 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. 
  

 47 







Table of Contents


 E. For purposes of this Section 7.7, 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 Section 7.7; 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. 
  
 F. In no event may an Indemnitee subject the
Limited Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 G. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7 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. 
  
 H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 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. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the
Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to
such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 
  
 I. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as
opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the
Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts. 
  
 J. Any indemnification hereunder is subject to, and limited by, the provisions of Section 10-107 of the Act. 
  
 K. In the event the Partnership is made a party to any litigation or
otherwise incurs any loss or expense as a result of or in connection with any Partner’s personal obligations or liabilities unrelated to Partnership business, such Partner shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership for all such loss and
expense incurred, including legal fees, and the Partnership interest of such Partner may be charged therefor. The liability of a Partner under this Section 7.7.K shall not be limited to such Partner’s Partnership Interest, but shall be
enforceable against such Partner personally.

 Section 7.8 Liability of the General Partner 
  
 A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the General Partner nor any of its
officers, directors, agents or employees shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees, or their successors or assigns, for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as
a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good faith. 
  
 B. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting for the benefit of the Partnership, the Limited Partners and the General
Partner’s stockholders collectively. Neither the General Partner generally nor the board of directors of the General Partner specifically is under any obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Limited Partners or the General
Partner’s stockholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees or to stockholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. If there is a conflict
between the interests of the stockholders of the General Partner 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 the stockholders of the
General Partner or the Limited Partners; provided, however, that for so long as the General Partner owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the
stockholders of the General Partner or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the stockholders of the General Partner. The General Partner shall not be liable under this Agreement to the Partnership or to any Partner 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 7.1.A, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by 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. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the
limitations on the liability of the General Partner and any of its officers, directors, agents and employee’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 
  
 Section 7.9 Other Matters Concerning the General Partner 
  
 A. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties.

Table of Contents


 B. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants,
investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters which such General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s
professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 
  
 C. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of its duly authorized officers
and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and duty which is permitted or
required to be done by the General Partner hereunder. 
  
 D.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of 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 to protect the ability of the General Partner, for so long as the General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, to (i) continue
to qualify as a REIT or (ii) avoid the General Partner incurring any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners. 
  
 Section 7.10 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 Partners, 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. 
  

Section 7.11 Reliance by Third Parties 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner
has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as
if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action
of the General 

  

 50

Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to ascertain
that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf
of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or
instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (iii) such certificate,
document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate
the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

set forth herein, no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have priority over any other Limited Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to profits, losses, distributions or credits. 
  
 Section 8.5 Rights of Limited Partners Relating to the Partnership 
  
 A. In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, and
except as limited by Section 8.5.C, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written demand with a statement of the
purpose of such demand and at such Limited Partner’s expense: 
  
 (1) to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the General Partner pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act, and each communication sent to the
stockholders of the General Partner; 
  
 (2) to
obtain a copy of the Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns for each Partnership Year; 
  
 (3) to obtain a current list of the name and last known business, residence or mailing address of each Partner; 
  
 (4) to obtain a copy of this Agreement and the Certificate
and all amendments thereto, together with executed copies of all powers of attorney pursuant to which this Agreement, the Certificate and all amendments thereto have been executed; and 
  
 (5) to obtain true and full information regarding the amount of cash and a description and statement of any
other property or services contributed by each Partner and which each Partner has agreed to contribute in the future, and the date on which each became a Partner. 
  
 B. The Partnership shall notify each Limited Partner in writing of any adjustment made in the calculation of the REIT Shares
Amount within a reasonable time after the date such change becomes effective. 
  
 C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and
absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of
the Partnership or

(ii) the Partnership or the General Partner is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential. 
  
 Section 8.6 Limited Partner Redemption Rights 
  
 A. On or after the date fourteen (14) months after (i) the Effective Date,
with respect to the Common Units acquired prior to, on or contemporaneously with the Effective Date, (ii) the Option Agreement Effective Date, with respect to the Common Units received pursuant to the Option Agreement, (iii) the ROFO Agreement
Effective Date, with respect to the Common Units received pursuant to the ROFO Agreement, and (iv) the date of issuance of any other Common Units, in each case unless a different date is expressly provided in an agreement entered into between the
Partnership and any Limited Partner, each Limited Partner shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any other such agreement, as applicable) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Common
Units held by such Limited Partner (such Common Units being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange for the Cash Amount (a “Redemption”); provided that the terms of such Common Units do
not provide that such Common Units are not entitled to a right of Redemption. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in a separate agreement entered into between the Partnership and the holders of such Common Units, all Common
Units shall be entitled to a right of Redemption hereunder. The Tendering Partner shall have no right, with respect to any Common Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid on or after the Specified Redemption Date. Any Redemption shall be
exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner by the Limited Partner who is exercising the right (the “Tendering Partner”). The Cash Amount shall be payable in accordance with the instructions set
forth in the Notice of Redemption to the Tendering Partner within ten (10) days of the Specified Redemption Date, except as provided below. 
  
 B. REIT Share Election 
  
 (1) Notwithstanding Section 8.6.A above, if a Limited Partner has delivered to the General Partner a Notice of Redemption then the
General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter) elect to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Partner in exchange for
the REIT Shares Amount (as of the Specified Redemption Date) and, if the General Partner so elects, the Tendering Partner shall sell the Tendered Units to the General Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount. In such event, the Tendering
Partner shall have no right to cause the Partnership to redeem such Tendered Units. The General Partner shall promptly give such Tendering Partner written notice of its election, and subject to Section 8.6.C below, the Tendering Partner may
elect to withdraw its redemption request at any time prior to the receipt of cash pursuant to Section 8.6.A or REIT Shares Amount pursuant to this Section 8.6.B by such Tendering Partner. 
  
 (2) The REIT Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be
delivered as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable REIT Shares and, if applicable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the Charter, the Bylaws of the General Partner, the
Securities Act, relevant state securities or blue sky laws and any applicable registration rights agreement with respect to such REIT Shares entered into by the

Tendering Partner. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery (but subject to Section 8.6.E), the Tendering Partner shall be deemed the owner of such
REIT Shares for all purposes, including without limitation, rights to vote or consent, and receive dividends, as of the Specified Redemption Date. In addition, the REIT Shares for which the Common Units might be exchanged shall also bear a legend
which generally provides the following: 
  
 THE SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON BENEFICIAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CORPORATION’S MAINTENANCE OF ITS STATUS AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST (“REIT”) UNDER
THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”). SUBJECT TO CERTAIN FURTHER RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE CORPORATION’S ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT, (i) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR
CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION IN EXCESS OF 9.8% OF THE VALUE OF THE TOTAL OUTSTANDING SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION AND NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S
COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF 9.8% (BY VALUE OR BY NUMBER OF SHARES, WHICHEVER IS MORE RESTRICTIVE) OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION; (ii) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK THAT WOULD RESULT IN
THE CORPORATION BEING “CLOSELY HELD” UNDER SECTION 856(h) OF THE CODE OR OTHERWISE CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; AND (iii) NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD RESULT IN THE CAPITAL
STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100 PERSONS. ANY PERSON WHO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWNS OR ATTEMPTS TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IN VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MUST IMMEDIATELY
NOTIFY THE CORPORATION. IF ANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR OWNERSHIP SET FORTH IN (i) OR (ii) IS VIOLATED, THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE OF A TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONE OR
MORE CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES, AND ANY TRANSFER THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100 PERSONS SHALL BE VOID AB INITIO. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION MAY REDEEM SHARES UPON THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THAT OWNERSHIP OR A TRANSFER OR OTHER EVENT MAY VIOLATE THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. FURTHERMORE, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN EVENTS,
ATTEMPTED TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. ALL TERMS IN THIS LEGEND THAT ARE DEFINED IN THE CHARTER OF THE CORPORATION SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THE CHARTER OF THE CORPORATION, AS
THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH, INCLUDING THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP, WILL BE FURNISHED TO EACH HOLDER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE. REQUESTS FOR SUCH A COPY MAY

BE DIRECTED TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL OFFICE. 
  
 C. Stock Offering Funding Option 
  
 (1) (a) Notwithstanding Section 8.6.A or Section 8.6.B above, if a Limited Partner has
delivered to the General Partner a Notice of Redemption with respect to Excess Units, and (i) the number of Excess Units plus the number of Tendered Units such Limited Partner agrees to treat as Excess Units (the “Offering Units”)
exceeds (A) 9.8% of the REIT Shares, calculated in accordance with the methodology for calculating the percentage of ownership of a Person for purposes of the ownership limit pursuant to Article VI of the Charter (subject to adjustment in connection
with any Adjustment Event), and (B) $50,000,000 gross value based on a Partnership Unit price equal to the REIT Share Market Value, and (ii) the General Partner is eligible to file a registration statement under Form S-3 (or any successor form
similar thereto), then the General Partner may, at its election, either (x) cause the Partnership to redeem the Offering Units with the proceeds of an offering, whether registered under the Securities Act or exempt from such registration,
underwritten, offered and sold directly to investors or through agents or other intermediaries, or otherwise distributed (a “Stock Offering Funding”) of a number of REIT Shares (“Offered Shares”) equal to the REIT
Shares Amount with respect to the Offering Units pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.6.C; or (y) cause the Partnership to pay the Cash Amount with respect to the Excess Units pursuant to the terms of Section 8.6.A; or (z) acquire
the Excess Units in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount pursuant to the terms of Section 8.6.B, but only if the Tendering Partner provides the General Partner with any representations or undertakings which the General Partner has determined,
in its sole and absolute discretion, are sufficient to prevent a violation of the Charter. In the event that the General Partner fails to give notice of its exercise of the election described in clause (i) above within the period of time specified
in Section 8.6.B for an election to deliver the REIT Share Amount, it will be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Tendered Units through a Stock Offering Funding. 
  
 (b) In the event that the General Partner elects a Stock Offering Funding with respect to a Notice of
Redemption, it may at such time give notice (a “Single Funding Notice”) of such election to all Limited Partners and require that all Limited Partners elect whether or not to effect a Redemption to be funded through such Stock
Offering Funding. In the event a Limited Partner elects to effect such a Redemption, it shall give notice thereof and of the number of Common Units to be made subject thereto in writing to the General Partner within 10 Business Days after receipt of
the Single Funding Notice, and such Limited Partner shall be treated as a Tendering Partner for all purposes of this Section 8.6.C. In the event that a Limited Partner does not so elect, it shall be deemed to have waived its right to effect a
Redemption for the current Twelve-Month Period, except that it may effect a Redemption for no more than 1.0% of the REIT Shares, calculated in accordance with the methodology for calculating the percentage of ownership of a Person for purposes of
the ownership limit pursuant to Article VI of the Charter (subject to adjustment in connection with any Adjustment Event) during such Twelve-Month Period. 
  
 (2) In the event that the General Partner elects a Stock Offering Funding, on the Specified Redemption Date determined pursuant to the
proviso in the definition thereof it 

  

 55 







Table of Contents


 
shall purchase each Offering Unit that is still a Tendered Unit on such date for cash in immediately available funds in the amount (the “Stock
Offering Funding Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Cash Amount per Common Unit, calculated pursuant to Section 8.6.A as of the original Specified Redemption Date assuming the General Partner did not elect to conduct a Stock
Offering Funding pursuant to Section 8.6.C (the “Base Amount”) or (ii) the net proceeds per Offered Share received by the General Partner from the Stock Offering Funding, determined after deduction of reasonable expenses
related thereto, including underwriting discounts and commissions, legal and accounting fees and expenses, Securities and Exchange Commission registration fees, state blue sky and securities laws fees and expenses, printing expenses, NASD filing
fees and listing fees (the “Net Proceeds”). 
  
 (3) If the General Partner elects a Stock Offering Funding, the following additional terms and conditions shall apply: 
  
 (a) As soon as practicable after the General Partner gives the Tendering Partner notice of its election pursuant to Section
8.6.C(1)(a)(i), the General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to effect as promptly as possible a registration, qualification or compliance (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments,
appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of the Offered Shares; provided, that, the General Partner shall not by reason hereof, be required to submit to jurisdiction or taxation, or qualify to do business in any jurisdiction in which such
submission or qualification would not be otherwise required; provided, further, that if the General Partner shall deliver a certificate to the Tendering Partner stating that the General Partner has determined in the good faith judgment
of the Board of Directors of the General Partner that such filing, registration or qualification would require disclosure of material non-public information, the disclosure of which would have a material adverse effect on the General Partner, then
the General Partner may delay making any filing or delay the effectiveness of any registration or qualification for the shorter of (a) the period ending on the date upon which such information is disclosed to the public or ceases to be material or
(b) an aggregate period of ninety (90) days in connection with any Stock Offering Funding. 
  
 (b) The General Partner shall advise each Tendering Partner, regularly and promptly upon any request, of the status of the Stock Offering
Funding process, including the timing of all filings, the selection of and understandings with underwriters, agents, dealers and brokers, the nature and contents of all communications with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other
governmental bodies, the expenses related to the Stock Offering Funding as they are being incurred, the nature of marketing activities, and any other matters reasonably related to the timing, price and expenses relating to the Stock Offering Funding
and the compliance by the General Partner with its obligations with respect thereto. In addition, the General Partner and each Tendering Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, enter into understandings in writing (“Pricing
Agreements”) whereby the Tendering Partner will agree in advance as to the acceptability of a Net Proceeds amount at or below the Base Amount. Furthermore, the General Partner shall establish pricing notification procedures with each such
Tendering Partner, such that the Tendering Partner will have the maximum opportunity 

  

 56

practicable to determine whether to become a Withdrawing Partner pursuant to Section 8.6.C(3)(c) below. 
  
 (c) The General Partner, upon notification of the price per
REIT Share in the Stock Offering Funding from the managing underwriter(s), in the case of a registered public offering, or lead placement agent(s), in the event of an unregistered offering, engaged by the General Partner in order to sell the Offered
Shares, shall immediately use its reasonable efforts to notify each Tendering Partner of the price per REIT Share in the Stock Offering Funding and resulting Net Proceeds. Each Tendering Partner shall have one hour (as such time may be extended by
the General Partner) to elect to withdraw its Redemption (a Tendering Partner making such an election being a “Withdrawing Partner”), and Common Units with a REIT Shares Amount equal to such excluded Offered Shares shall be
considered to be withdrawn from the related Redemption; provided, however, that if Tendering Partners withdraw in excess of 20% of the Offered Shares, all Offered Shares will, at the General Partner’s option, be deemed to have
been withdrawn by all Tendering Partners. If a Tendering Partner, within such time period, does not notify the General Partner of such Tendering Partner’s election not to become a Withdrawing Partner, then such Tendering Partner shall, except
as otherwise provided in a Pricing Agreement, be deemed not to have withdrawn from the Redemption, without liability to the General Partner. To the extent that the General Partner is unable to notify any Tendering Partner, such unnotified Tendering
Partner shall, except as otherwise provided in any Pricing Agreement, be deemed not to have elected to become a Withdrawing Partner. Each Tendering Partner whose Redemption is being funded through the Stock Offering Funding who does not become a
Withdrawing Partner shall have the right, subject to the approval of the managing underwriter(s) or placement agent(s) and restrictions of any applicable securities laws, to submit for Redemption additional Common Units in a number no greater than
the number of Common Units withdrawn. If more than one Tendering Partner so elects to redeem additional Common Units, then such Common Units shall be redeemed on a pro rata basis, based on the number of additional Common Units sought to be so
redeemed. To the extent that the Net Proceeds would be below the Base Amount, and to the extent that other Partners have not elected to redeem additional Common Units, then the Withdrawing Partners shall bear their pro rata shares of the expenses
described in Section 8.6.C(2) (such shares calculated as if such Limited Partners had not been Withdrawing Partners) as reasonably determined by the General Partner. 
  
 (d) The General Partner shall take all reasonable action in order to effectuate the sale of the Offered
Shares including, but not limited to, the entering into of an underwriting or placement agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter(s) or placement agent(s) selected for such underwriting by the General Partner. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) or placement agent(s) advises the General Partner in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be offered, then the General Partner shall so
advise all Tendering Partners and the number of Common Units to be sold to the General Partner pursuant to the Redemption shall be allocated among all Tendering Partners in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective number of Common
Units as to which each Tendering Partner elected to effect a Redemption. No Offered Shares excluded from the underwriting by reason of the managing underwriter’s or placement agent’s marketing limitation shall be included in such offering.

  

 57 







Table of Contents


 (e) The General Partner may include securities for its own account in any offering made
pursuant to Section 8.6.C.1 hereof and, if the managing underwriter or placement agent has not limited the number of Registrable Shares to be offered, the General Partner may include securities for the account of others in such offering, in
each case only if and to the extent that the managing underwriter or placement agent, the General Partner and Tendering Partners owning Common Units representing at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Common Units with respect to which the Stock
Offering Funding is being effected so agree in writing. 
  
 D.
Each Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General Partner that all Tendered Units shall be delivered to the General Partner free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims and/or
encumbrances exist or arise with respect to such Tendered Units, the General Partner shall be under no obligation to acquire the same. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a
result of the transfer of its Tendered Units to the General Partner (or its designee), such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax. 
  
 E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6.A, 8.6.B, 8.6.C or any other provision of this Agreement, a Limited Partner (i)
shall not be entitled to effect a Redemption for cash pursuant to Section 8.6.A or an exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6.B to the extent the ownership or right to acquire REIT Shares pursuant to such exchange by such
Partner on the Specified Redemption Date could cause such Partner or any other Person, or, in the opinion of counsel selected by the General Partner, may cause such Partner or any other Person, to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer
of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter and (ii) shall have no rights under this Agreement to acquire REIT Shares which would otherwise be prohibited under the Charter. The limitation set forth in Section 8.6.E(i) above shall not limit the
ability of a Limited Partner to require a Stock Offering Funding pursuant to the terms of Section 8.6.C if (A) the Offering Units exceed (a) 9.8% of the REIT Shares, calculated in accordance with the methodology for calculating the percentage
of ownership of a Person for purposes of the ownership limit pursuant to Article VI of the Charter (subject to adjustment in connection with any Adjustment Event) and (b) $50,000,000 gross value based on a Common Unit price equal to the REIT Share
Market Value, and (B) the General Partner is eligible to file a registration statement under Form S-3 (or any successor form similar thereto). To the extent any attempted Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares would be in violation of this
Section 8.6.E, it shall be null and void ab initio and such Limited Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic interest in the cash otherwise payable upon such Redemption or the REIT Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange.

  
 F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but
subject to Section 8.6.E, with respect to any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to this Section 8.6): 
  
 (1) All Common Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant thereto shall automatically, and without further action required, be
converted into and deemed to be General Partner Interests comprised of the same number and class of Common Units. 
  

 58 







Table of Contents


 (2) Without the consent of the General Partner, each Limited Partner may not effect a
Redemption for less than 1,000 Common Units or, if the Limited Partner holds less than 1,000 Common Units, all of the Common Units held by such Limited Partner. 
  
 (3) Without the consent of the General Partner, each Limited Partner may not effect a Redemption during the
period after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by the General Partner for a distribution to its common stockholders of some or all of its portion of such distribution. 
  
 (4) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the
event the General Partner gives notice to all Limited Partners (a “Primary Offering Notice”) that it desires to effect a primary offering of its equity securities for cash (other than an offering in connection with a merger,
consolidation or similar transaction, or employee benefit or similar plans) then, unless the General Partner otherwise consents, the actions described in Section 8.6.C as to a Stock Offering Funding with respect to any Notice of Redemption
with respect to Excess Units thereafter received may be delayed until the earlier of (a) the completion of the primary offering or (b) 120 days following the giving of the Primary Offering Notice; provided that, to the extent that the
managing underwriter(s) of such primary offering advise that the inclusion of such additional REIT Shares will not adversely affect the offering, additional REIT Shares the proceeds of which are to be used to satisfy a Redemption with respect to
such Excess Units (a “Subsequent Redemption”) (without regard to the limitations of subparagraph (2) of this paragraph F) shall be included in such offering, and the procedures of this Section 8.6 shall otherwise be followed
as closely as practicable; provided, further that a Primary Offering Notice may be given no more than twice in any Twelve-Month Period without the Consent of the Limited Partners. 
  
 (5) The General Partner may delay a Stock Offering Funding,
such that it will not occur (1) during the same Twelve-Month Period as the General Partner has effected a “Demand Registration” pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements dated as of October 27, 2004, among the General Partner and
certain Limited Partners (it being understood that in the event a Notice of Redemption is received prior to the receipt of requisite requests for a Demand Registration, such Notice of Redemption shall control, and vice versa) or (b) within 120 days
following the closing of any prior public offering of similar securities by the General Partner. 
  
 (6) The consummation of any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable
waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. 
  
 (7) Each Tendering Partner shall continue to own all Common Units subject to any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares, and be treated as
a Limited Partner with respect to such Common Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Common Units are transferred to the General Partner and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified Redemption Date, and
provided the General Partner has issued REIT shares pursuant to Section 8.6.B, the Tendering Partner shall have no rights as a stockholder of the General Partner with respect to such Tendering Partner’s Common Units.

 G. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.6 permitting the General Partner to delay a
Public Offering Funding by virtue of an event described in Section 8.6.C, the giving of a Primary Offering Notice, or a delay referred to in Section 8.6.F(5), the General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to take all such actions, as
are consistent with the purposes of such delay provisions, to effect a Stock Offering Funding at the earliest time practicable. It is understood that such periods of delay shall run, to the extent practicable, concurrently, and shall not limit the
right of a Limited Partner to deliver a Notice of Redemption. 
  
 H. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.B, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.6 as it determines are
necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. 
  
 Section 8.7 Conversion of Profits Interest Units. 
  
 A. A Profits Interest Unitholder shall have the right (the “Conversion Right”), at his or her option, at any time to convert all or a portion of his or her Vested Profits Interest Units into Common Units;
provided, however, that a holder may not exercise the Conversion Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Vested Profits Interest Units or, if such holder holds less than one thousand Vested Profits Interest Units, all of the
Vested Profits Interest Units held by such holder. Profits Interest Unitholders shall not have the right to convert Unvested Profits Interest Units into Common Units until they become Vested Profits Interest Units; provided,
however, that when a Profits Interest Unitholder is notified of the expected occurrence of an event that will cause his or her Unvested Profits Interest Units to become Vested Profits Interest Units, such Profits Interest
Unitholder may give the Partnership a Conversion Notice conditioned upon and effective as of the time of vesting and such Conversion Notice, unless subsequently revoked by the Profits Interest Unitholder, shall be accepted by the Partnership subject
to such condition. In all cases, the conversion of any Profits Interest Units into Common Units shall be subject to the conditions and procedures set forth in this Section 8.7. 
  
 B. A holder of Vested Profits Interest Units may convert such Units into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable
Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 4.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may a holder of Vested Profits Interest Units convert a number of Vested Profits Interest Units that exceeds (x)
the Economic Capital Account Balance of such Limited Partner, to the extent attributable to his or her ownership of Profits Interest Units, divided by (y) the Common Unit Economic Balance, in each case as determined as of the effective date of
conversion (the “Capital Account Limitation”). In order to exercise his or her Conversion Right, a Profits Interest Unitholder shall deliver a notice (a “Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit G
to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to a date (the “Conversion Date”) specified in such Conversion Notice; provided, however, that if the General Partner
has not given to the Profits Interest Unitholders notice of a proposed or upcoming Transaction (as defined below) at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such Transaction, then Profits Interest Unitholders shall have the right to
deliver a Conversion Notice until the earlier of (x) the tenth (10th) day after such notice from the General Partner of a Transaction or (y) the third business day immediately preceding the effective date of such Transaction. A Conversion Notice
shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 15.1. 

  

 60 







Table of Contents


 
Each Profits Interest Unitholder covenants and agrees with the Partnership that all Vested Profits Interest Units to be converted pursuant to this Section
8.7.A shall be free and clear of all liens. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a holder of Profits Interest Units may deliver a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 8.6.A relating to those Common Units that will be issued
to such holder upon conversion of such Profits Interest Units into Common Units in advance of the Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by the Partnership shall in no event take place until on or
after the Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a Profits Interest Unitholder in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested Profits Interest Units will
be converted can be redeemed by the Partnership pursuant to Section 8.6.A simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if the Company elects to assume the Partnership’s redemption obligation with respect to
such Common Units under Section 8.6.B by delivering to such holder REIT Shares rather than cash, then such holder can have such REIT Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested Profits Interest Units
into Common Units. The General Partner shall cooperate with a Profits Interest Unitholder to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence. 
  
 C. The Partnership, at any time at the election of the General Partner, may cause any number of Vested Profits Interest
Units held by a Profits Interest Unitholder to be converted (a “Forced Conversion”) into an equal number of Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 4.5; provided,
however, that the Partnership may not cause a Forced Conversion of any Profits Interest Units that would not at the time be eligible for conversion at the option of such Profits Interest Unitholder pursuant to Section 8.7.B. In order
to exercise its right of Forced Conversion, the Partnership shall deliver a notice (a “Forced Conversion Notice”) in the form attached as Exhibit H to the applicable Profits Interest Unitholder not less than 10 nor more than
60 days prior to the Conversion Date specified in such Forced Conversion Notice. A Forced Conversion Notice shall be provided in the manner provided in Section 15.1. 
  
 D. A conversion of Vested Profits Interest Units for which the holder thereof has given a Conversion Notice or the
Partnership has given a Forced Conversion Notice shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable Conversion Date without any action on the part of such Profits Interest Unitholder, as of which time such Profits Interest
Unitholder shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on the next day of the number of Common Units issuable upon such conversion. After the conversion of Profits Interest Units as
aforesaid, the Partnership shall deliver to such Profits Interest Unitholder, upon his or her written request, a certificate of the General Partner certifying the number of Common Units and remaining Profits Interest Units, if any, held by such
person immediately after such conversion. The Assignee of any Limited Partner pursuant to Article 11 hereof may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.7 and such Limited Partner shall be bound by the
exercise of such rights by the Assignee. 
  
 E. For purposes of
making future allocations under Section 6.2.C and applying the Capital Account Limitation, the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable Profits Interest Unitholder that is treated as attributable to his or her Profits
Interest 

  

 61 







Table of Contents


 
Units shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by the product of the number of Profits Interest Units converted and the Common Unit Economic Balance.

  
 F. If the Partnership or the General Partner shall be a party
to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, unit exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the
Partnership’s assets, but excluding any transaction which constitutes an Adjustment Event) in each case as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the Holders shall otherwise be entitled, to receive
cash, securities or other property or any combination thereof (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Transaction”), then the General Partner shall, immediately prior to the Transaction, exercise its right to cause a
Forced Conversion with respect to the maximum number of Profits Interest Units then eligible for conversion, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Transaction if
the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed to the Common Units in the context of the Transaction (in which case the
Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction). In anticipation of such Forced Conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Profits Interest Unitholder
to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Common Units into which his or her Profits Interest Units will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any
combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a Holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming such Holder is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership merged or which
merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that Holders have the opportunity to elect the form or type
of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Transaction, prior to such Transaction the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each Profits Interest Unitholder of such election, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to afford the Profits Interest Unitholders the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each Profits Interest Unit held by such holder into Common Units in
connection with such Transaction. If a Profits Interest Unitholder fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon conversion of each Profits Interest Unit held by him or her (or by any of his or her
transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a Holder would receive if such Holder failed to make such an election. Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the Company under any Vesting Agreement and the relevant terms of any
applicable Stock Plan, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable effort to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 8.7.F and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing
entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any Profits Interest Unitholders whose Profits Interest Units will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of Profits
Interest Units that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their Profits Interest Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as far as reasonably possible
under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights set forth in the Agreement for the benefit of the Profits Interest Unitholders.

 Section 8.8 Voting Rights of Profits Interest Units 
  
 Profits Interest Unitholders shall (a) have those voting rights required from time to time by applicable law, if any, (b)
have the same voting rights as a Holder, with the Profits Interest Units voting as a single class with the Common Units and having one vote per Profits Interest Unit; and (c) have the additional voting rights that are expressly set forth below. So
long as any Profits Interest Units remain outstanding, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Profits Interest Units outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in
writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the provisions of the Agreement applicable to Profits Interest Units so as to materially and adversely affect any right,
privilege or voting power of the Profits Interest Units or the Profits Interest Unitholders as such, unless such amendment, alteration, or repeal affects equally, ratably and proportionately the rights, privileges and voting powers of the holders of
Common Units; but subject, in any event, to the following provisions: (i) with respect to any Transaction, so long as the Profits Interest Units are treated in accordance with Section 8.7.F hereof, the consummation of such Transaction shall
not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Profits Interest Units or the Profits Interest Unitholders as such; and (ii) any creation or issuance of any Partnership Units or of any
class or series of Partnership Interest including without limitation additional Partnership Units or Profits Interest Units, whether ranking senior to, junior to, or on a parity with the Profits Interest Units with respect to distributions and the
distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Profits Interest Units or the Profits Interest Unitholders as
such. The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required will be effected, all outstanding Profits Interest Units shall have been converted into Common
Units.

maintained by or on behalf of the Partnership in the regular course of its business may be kept on, or be in the form of any information storage device, provided, that the records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible

Securities and Exchange Commission, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner as of the close of the Partnership Year, an annual report containing financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such
statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the General Partner, for such Partnership Year, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such statements to be audited by a nationally recognized firm of

a consolidated basis with the applicable law or regulation, or as the General Partner determines to be appropriate. 
  
 Section 9.4 Nondisclosure of Certain Information 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.3, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners any information
that the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Partnership or which the Partnership is required by law
or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential.

required of the Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within 120 days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Limited Partners for federal and
state income tax reporting purposes. Each Limited Partner shall promptly provide the General Partner with any information reasonably requested by the General Partner relating to any Contributed Property contributed (directly or indirectly) by such

the Code) upon the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is the best interests of the Partners.

  
 Section 10.3 Tax Matters Partner 
  
 A. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of
the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section 6230(e) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the IRS of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the
IRS with the name, address and profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and Assignees; provided, however, that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners and Assignees. 
  
 B. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required: 
  
 (1) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect
to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and
such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall
not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such
Partner or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code); 
  
 (2) in the event that a notice of a final administrative
adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including
the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the United States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of
business is located; 
  
 (3) to intervene in any
action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment; 
  
 (4) to file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the
IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request; 
  
 (5) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be
taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and 
  
 (6) to take any other action on behalf of the Partners of the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding
to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations.

 The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with
any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 shall be
fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such. 
  
 C. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees) shall be borne by the
Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm or law firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for
such services is reasonable. 
  
 Section 10.4 Organizational Expenses

  
 The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any,
incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a 60-month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code. 
  
 Section 10.5 Withholding 
  
 Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal,
state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a receivable of the Partnership
from such Limited Partner, which receivable shall be paid by such Limited Partner within 15 days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would
otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed
to the Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a
security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5. Any amounts payable by a Limited
Partner hereunder shall bear interest at 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, plus two percentage points (but not higher than the
maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., 15 days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or
enforce the security interest created hereunder.

 TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS 
  
 Section 11.1
Transfer 
  
 A. The term “transfer,” when
used in this Article 11 with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign its General Partner Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to
assign its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift (outright or in trust), pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term “transfer”
when used in this Article 11 does not include any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6 except as otherwise provided herein. No part of the interest of a Limited Partner shall be subject to the claims of any
creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement or consented to by the General Partner. 
  
 B. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except
in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void ab initio unless otherwise
consented to by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 Section 11.2 Transfer of General Partner’s Partnership Interest 
  
 A. Except in connection with a Termination Transaction permitted under Section 11.2.B, the General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not transfer all or any portion of its interest in
the Partnership (whether by sale, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise), other than to an Affiliate, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, which may be given or withheld by each Limited Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion, and only upon the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 12.1. Upon any transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, the transferee shall become a
substitute General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such transferee
has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so acquired. It is
a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred
Partnership Interest, and no such transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor General Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall
relieve the transferor General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners, in their reasonable discretion. In the event the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, in violation of this
Agreement or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the Incapacity of the General Partner, 

  

 67

all of the remaining Partners may elect to continue the Partnership business by selecting a substitute General Partner in accordance with the Act.

  
 B. The General Partner shall not engage in any merger,
consolidation or other combination with or into another person, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of its outstanding equity interests (“Termination Transaction”)
unless (1) the Termination Transaction has been approved by a Consent of the Partners and (2) either clause (a) or (b) below is satisfied: 
  
 (a) in connection with such Termination Transaction all Limited Partners either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive,
for each Common Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the REIT Shares Amount and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of one REIT Share
in connection with the Termination Transaction; provided, that, if, in connection with the Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent
(50%) of the outstanding REIT Shares, each Holder of Common Units shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such holder would have received had it exercised its right
to Redemption (as set forth in Section 8.6) and received REIT Shares in exchange for its Common Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange
offer and then such Termination Transaction shall have been consummated; or 
  
 (b) the following conditions are met: (i) substantially all of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity are held directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or
limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving Partnership”); (ii) the holders of Common-Equivalent Units own a percentage
interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the Partnership and the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (iii) the rights,
preferences and privileges of such holders in the Surviving Partnership are at least as favorable as those in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing
members of the Surviving Partnership; and (iv) such rights of the Limited Partners include at least one of the following: (a) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership for the consideration available to such persons pursuant
to Section 11.2.B(a); or (b) the right to redeem their Common Units for cash on terms equivalent to those in effect with respect to their Common Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or, if the ultimate controlling
person of the Surviving Partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the REIT Shares. 
  
 Section 11.3 Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer 
  
 A. Prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Effective Date, no
Limited Partner shall transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any transferee without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute 

  

 68 







Table of Contents


 
discretion, or exercise its right of Redemption set forth in Section 8.6; provided, however, that any Limited Partner may, at any time
(whether prior to or after such twelve (12) month anniversary), without the consent of the General Partner, other than by way of exercise of the right of Redemption set forth in Section 8.6, (i) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership
Interest to the General Partner, (ii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to an Immediate Family Member, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6, (iii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to a trust
for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary or to a charitable foundation, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6, and (iv) subject to the provisions of Section 11.6, pledge (a “Pledge”) all or any portion of its
Partnership Interest to a lending institution, which is not an Affiliate of such Limited Partner, as collateral or security for a bona fide loan or other extension of credit with a scheduled maturity date not sooner than the twelve (12) month
anniversary of the Effective Date, and transfer such pledged Partnership Interest to such lending institution in connection with the exercise of remedies under such loan or extension or credit, and the transfer of such pledged Partnership Interest
by the lender to any transferee. After such twelve (12) month anniversary, each Limited Partner or Assignee (resulting from a transfer made pursuant to clauses (i)-(iv) of the proviso of the preceding sentence) shall have the right to transfer all
or any portion of its Partnership Interest, subject to the provisions of Section 11.6 and the satisfaction of each of the following conditions (in addition to the right of each such Limited Partner or Assignee (A) to continue to make any such
transfer permitted by clauses (i)-(iv) of such proviso or (B) to make any transfer to its Affiliates or members, in each case, without satisfying condition (1) below): 
  
 (1) General Partner Right of First Refusal. The transferring Partner shall give written notice of the
proposed transfer to the General Partner, which notice shall state (i) the identity of the proposed transferee, and (ii) the amount and type of consideration proposed to be received for the transferred Partnership Units. The General Partner shall
have ten (10) days upon which to give the transferring Partner notice of its election to acquire the Partnership Units on the proposed terms. If it so elects, it shall purchase the Partnership Units on such terms within ten (10) days after giving
notice of such election. If it does not so elect, the transferring Partner may transfer such Partnership Units to a third party, on economic terms no more favorable to the transferee than the proposed terms, subject to the other conditions of this
Section 11.3. 
  
 (2) Qualified
Transferee. Any transfer of a Partnership Interest shall be made only to Qualified Transferees. 
  
 It is a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the
obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest and no such transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the
transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any transferee of any transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any and all ownership limitations contained in the Charter, which may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability to exercise its Redemption rights, and
to the representations in Section 3.4. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance
with 

  

 69 







Table of Contents


 
Section 11.4.B, no transferee, whether by a voluntary transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights hereunder, other than the
rights of an Assignee as provided in and in compliance with Section 11.5. 
  
 B. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited
Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the
Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. 
  
 C. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer otherwise permitted under Section 11.3 by a Limited Partner of his or her Partnership Units if, in
the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act by the Partnership or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable
to the Partnership or the Partnership Units. 
  
 Section 11.4 Substituted
Limited Partners 
  
 A. No Limited Partner shall have the
right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in his or her place (including any transferee permitted by Section 11.3). The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of
a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a
transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner. 
  
 B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and
be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an
acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation, the provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission), each in form and substance
satisfactory to the General Partner) and the acknowledgment by such transferee that each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such transferee as of the date of the transfer of the
Partnership Interest to such transferee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations and warranties. 
  
 C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of
Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner. 
  
 Section 11.5 Assignees 
  
 If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee
under Section 11.3 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as 

  

 70 







Table of Contents


 
described in Section 11.4, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the
rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, gain and loss attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such
transferee, the rights to transfer the Partnership Units provided in this Article 11 and the right of Redemption provided in Section 8.6, but shall not be deemed to be a Holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this
Agreement, and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent with respect to such Partnership Units on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such Consent remaining with the transferor Limited Partner). In the event any such
transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an
assignment of Partnership Units. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition to becoming an Assignee, any prospective Assignee must first execute and deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgment that each of
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such prospective Assignee as of the date of the prospective assignment of the Partnership Interest to such prospective Assignee and will continue
to be true to the extent required by such representations or warranties. 
  
 Section 11.6 General Provisions 
  
 A. No Limited
Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of (i) a permitted transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with this Article 11 and the transferee(s) of such Partnership Units being
admitted to the Partnership as a Substituted Limited Partner or (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its right of Redemption of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units under Section 8.6; provided that after such
transfer, exchange or redemption such Limited Partner owns no Partnership Interest. 
  
 B. Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited
Partner or pursuant to the exercise of its rights of Redemption of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units under Section 8.6 shall cease to be a Limited Partner; provided that after such transfer, exchange or
redemption such Limited Partner owns no Partnership Interest. 
  
 C. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees. 
  
 D. If any Partnership Interest is transferred, assigned or redeemed during any quarterly segment of the Partnership’s
Partnership Year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 or transferred or redeemed pursuant to Sections 8.6 or 16.4 on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item
thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such Partnership Year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the
Partnership Year using a method selected by the General Partner that is in accordance with the Code. Except as otherwise agreed by the General Partner, all distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before
the 

  

 71 







Table of Contents


 
date of such transfer, assignment, exchange or redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter, in the
case of a transfer or assignment other than a redemption, shall be made to the transferee Partner. 
  
 E. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including without limitation the provisions of this Article 11 and
Section 2.6, in no event may any transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to a Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares by the Partnership or the General Partner) be made (i) to any person or entity
who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, of any
component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or
withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer could cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption or exchange
for REIT Shares of all Common Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.2); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership such transfer could cause the Partnership to cease to
be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares of all Common Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such transfer could, in the opinion of counsel to the
Partnership, cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section
4975(e) of the Code); (vii) if such transfer could, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations
Section 2510.2-101; (viii) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (ix) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in
its sole and absolute discretion, if such transfer (1) could be treated as effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704
of the Code, (2) could cause the Partnership to become a “Publicly Traded Partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code, (3) could be in violation of Section 3.4.E(5), or (4) could cause the
Partnership to fail one or more of the Safe Harbors (as defined below); (x) if such transfer subjects the Partnership to be regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income

forth in Section 3.4.C; (xii) if such transfer is made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a

meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the “Safe Harbors”). The General Partner shall have the authority (but shall not be required) to take any steps it determines are necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to
prevent any trading of interests which could cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” within the meaning of Code Section 7704, or any recognition by the Partnership of such transfers, or to insure that one or more
of the Safe Harbors is met.

 B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A which require
liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s
assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the
Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2.A, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the
Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in-kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in-kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such
conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market

any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership. 
  
 Section 13.4 Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations

and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be: 
  
 (1) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets, collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen
liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any such trust shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the
reasonable discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, in the same proportions and the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this
Agreement; or

 (2) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or
otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners in the manner
and priority set forth in Section 13.2.A as soon as practicable. 
  
 Section 13.5 Deemed Distribution and Recontribution

 Section 13.7 Notice of Dissolution 
  
 In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for provisions of Section 13.1, result in a dissolution of the
Partnership, the General Partner shall, within 30 days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners and to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General
Partner) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner). 
  
 Section 13.8 Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership 
  
 Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property

(the “Series A Preferred Units”) is hereby established. The number of Series A Preferred Units shall be [    ]. 
  
 Section 16.2 Distributions 
  
 A. Payment of Distributions. Subject to the rights of Holders of Parity Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions, pursuant to Section
5.1, the General Partner, as holder of the Series A Preferred Units, will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Partnership acting through the General Partner, out of Available Cash, cumulative preferential cash distributions in an
amount equal to the Series A Priority Return. Such distributions shall be cumulative, shall accrue from the original date of issuance and will be payable (i) quarterly (such quarterly periods for purposes of payment and accrual will be the quarterly
periods ending on the dates specified in this sentence and not calendar quarters) in arrears, on the last calendar day of [    ], [    ], [    ] and [    ], of each year
commencing on the first of such dates to occur after the original date of issuance, and, (ii), in the event of a redemption of Series A Preferred Units, on the redemption date (each a “Series A Preferred Unit Distribution Payment
Date”). If any date on which distributions are to be made on the Series A Preferred Units is not a Business Day, then payment of the distribution to be made on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and
without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and
effect as if made on such date. 
  
 B. Distributions
Cumulative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distributions on the Series A Preferred Units will accrue whether or not the terms and provisions set forth in Section 16.2.C hereof at any time prohibit the current payment of distributions,
whether or not the Partnership has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such distributions and whether or not such distributions are authorized.

may be made, directly or

indirectly, on or with respect thereto by the Partnership (except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Units as to distributions and upon liquidation,
and except for the redemption of Partnership Interests corresponding to any REIT Series A Preferred Shares or any other REIT shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on parity with or junior
to the Series A Preferred Stock to be purchased by the General Partner pursuant to the Charter to the extent necessary to preserve the General Partner’s status as a real estate investment trust, provided that such redemption shall be
upon the same terms as the corresponding stock purchase pursuant to the Charter), unless full cumulative distributions on the Series A Preferred Units for all past periods and the then current period shall have been or contemporaneously are (i)
declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment. 
  
 (ii) When distributions are not paid in full (and a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series A Preferred
Units and any other Parity Preferred Units as to distributions, all distributions declared upon the Series A Preferred Units and such other classes or series of Parity Preferred Units as to the payment of distributions shall be declared pro rata so
that the amount of distributions declared per Series A Preferred Unit and each such other class or series of Parity Preferred Units shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued distributions per Series A Preferred Unit and such
other class or series of Parity Preferred Units (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid distribution on such other class or series of Parity Preferred Units for prior distribution periods if such other class or series of Parity
Preferred Unit does not have a cumulative distribution) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any distribution payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Units which may be in
arrears. 
  
 D. No Further Rights. The General Partner, as
holder of the Series A Preferred Units, shall not be entitled to any distributions, whether payable in cash, other property or otherwise, in excess of the full cumulative distributions described herein. Any distribution payment made on the Series A
Preferred Units shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid distribution due with respect to such Series A Preferred Units which remains payable. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Units will accumulate as
of the Series A Preferred Unit Distribution Payment Date on which they first become payable. 
  
 Section 16.3 Liquidation Proceeds 
  
 A. Distributions. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Partnership, distributions on the Series A Preferred Units shall be made in accordance with
Article 13 hereof.

into, any corporation, trust or other entity (or of any corporation, trust or other entity with or into the Partnership) shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Partnership. 
  
 Section 16.4 Redemption 
  
 A. Redemption. If the General Partner elects to redeem any of the REIT Series A Preferred Shares in accordance with
the terms of the Series A Articles Supplementary, the Partnership shall, on the date set for redemption of such REIT Series A Preferred Shares, redeem the number of Series A Preferred Units equal to the number of REIT Series A Preferred Shares for
which the General Partner has given notice of redemption pursuant to Section 5 of Article THIRD of the Series A Articles Supplementary, at a redemption price, payable in cash, equal to the product of (i) the number of Series A
Preferred Units being redeemed, and (ii) the sum of $25, any Preferred Distribution Shortfall per Series A Preferred Unit, and any accrued and unpaid distribution per Series A Preferred Unit for the current distribution period.

redemption will be given by the General Partner to the Partnership concurrently with the notice of the General Partner sent to the holders of its REIT Series A Preferred Shares in connection with such redemption. Such notice shall state: (A) the
redemption date; (B) the redemption price; (C) the number of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed; (D) the place or places where the Series A Preferred Units are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (E) that distributions on
the Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date. If less than all of the Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, the notice shall also specify the number of Series A Preferred Units to be redeemed.

  
 (ii) On or after the redemption date, the
General Partner shall present and surrender the certificates, if any, representing the Series A Preferred Units to the Partnership at the place designated in the notice of redemption and thereupon the redemption price of such Units (including all
accumulated and unpaid distributions up to but excluding the redemption date) shall be paid to the General Partner and each surrendered Unit certificate, if any, shall be canceled. If fewer than all the Units represented by any such certificate
representing Series A Preferred Units are to be redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares. 
  
 (iii) From and after the redemption date (unless the Partnership defaults in payment of the redemption price), all distributions on the
Series A Preferred Units designated for redemption in such notice shall cease to accumulate and all rights of the General Partner, except the right to receive the redemption price thereof (including all accumulated and unpaid distributions up to but
excluding the redemption date), shall cease and terminate, and 

  

 83

such Series A Preferred Units shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose whatsoever. At its election, the Partnership, prior to a redemption date,
may irrevocably deposit the redemption price (including accumulated and unpaid distributions to but not including the redemption date) of the Series A Preferred Units so called for redemption in trust for the General Partner with a bank or trust
company, in which case the redemption notice to the General Partner shall (A) state the date of such deposit, (B) specify the office of such bank or trust company as the place of payment of the redemption price and (C) require the General Partner to
surrender the certificates, if any, representing such Series A Preferred Units at such place on or about the date fixed in such redemption notice (which may not be later than the redemption date) against payment of the redemption price (including
all accumulated and unpaid distributions to the redemption date). Any monies so deposited which remain unclaimed by the General Partner at the end of two years after the redemption date shall be returned by such bank or trust company to the
Partnership. 
  
 Section 16.5 Ranking 
  
 The Series A Preferred Units shall, with respect to distribution rights and
rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Partnership, rank (i) senior to the Common Units and to all other Partnership Units the terms of which provide that such Partnership Units shall rank junior to the

 CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP DEFINITION 
  
 The term “Constructively Owns” means ownership determined through
the application of the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code. Generally, these rules provide the following: 
  
 a. an individual is considered as owning the Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for his
spouse, his children, his grandchildren, and his parents; 
  
 b.
an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a partnership, limited liability company or estate is considered as owned proportionately by its partners or beneficiaries; 
  
 c. an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for
a trust is considered as owned by its beneficiaries in proportion to the actuarial interest of such beneficiaries (provided, however, that in the case of a “grantor trust” the Ownership Interest will be considered as owned by
the grantors); 
  
 d. if ten (10) percent or more in value of the
stock in a corporation is owned, actually or constructively, by or for any person, such person shall be considered as owning the Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for such corporation in that proportion which the
value of the stock which such person so owns bears to the value of all the stock in such corporation; 
  
 e. an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a partner or member which actually or constructively owns a 25% or greater
capital interest or profits interest in a partnership or limited liability company, or by or to or for a beneficiary of an estate or trust shall be considered as owned by the partnership, limited liability company, estate, or trust (or, in the case
of a grantor trust, the grantors); 
  
 f. if ten (10) percent or
more in value of the stock in a corporation is owned, actually or constructively, by or for any person, such corporation shall be considered as owning the Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for such person;

  
 g. if any person has an option to acquire an Ownership
Interest (including an option to acquire an option or any one of a series of such options), such Ownership Interest shall be considered as owned by such person; 
  

h. an Ownership Interest that is constructively owned by a person by reason of the application of the rules described in paragraphs (a) through (g)
above shall, for purposes of applying paragraphs (a) through (g), be considered as actually owned by such person provided, however, that (i) an Ownership Interest constructively owned by an individual by reason of paragraph (a) shall
not be considered as owned by him for purposes of again applying paragraph (a) in order to make another the constructive owner of such Ownership Interest, (ii) an Ownership Interest constructively owned by a partnership, estate, trust, or
corporation by reason

of the application of paragraphs (e) or (f) shall not be considered as owned by it for purposes of applying paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) in order to make
another the constructive owner of such Ownership Interest, (iii) if an Ownership Interest may be considered as owned by an individual under paragraphs (a) or (g), it shall be considered as owned by him under paragraph (g), and (iv) for purposes of
the above described rules, an S corporation shall be treated as a partnership and any stockholder of the S corporation shall be treated as a partner of such partnership except that this rule shall not apply for purposes of determining whether stock
in the S corporation is constructively owned by any person. 
  
 i.
For purposes of the above summary of the constructive ownership rules, the term “Ownership Interest” means the ownership of stock with respect to a corporation and, with respect to any other type of entity, the ownership of an interest in
either its assets or net profits.
