agreement or binding commitment by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to do any of the foregoing; or

    	 	35	 



     


    

  


5.12         Litigation.
There is no action, claim, hearing, charge, complaint, demand, challenge, suit, proceeding or investigation (“Action”)
pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against, nor any outstanding Order against, the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries before or by any Governmental Authority, other than any such Action or Order that (i) does not involve an amount
in controversy in excess of $100,000 (net of reasonably expected insurance proceeds recoverable in respect of ordinary course
claims arising out of the operation of the Properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries) and (ii) does not seek or impose material
injunctive or other material non-monetary relief. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with respect to
any material Order. There is no material unresolved violation or exception by any Governmental Authority with respect to any SEC
Report or relating to any examinations or instructions of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and since January 1, 2014, there
have been no material unresolved inquiries by, or disputes with, any Governmental Authority with respect to the business, operations,
policies or procedures of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. There are no pending Actions of the type described on Schedule
5.12(a) (“Scheduled Actions”) and there have been no Orders or settlements of the type described on Schedule
5.12(a) (“Scheduled Orders or Settlements”).


 


5.13         Taxes.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has properly and timely filed (taking into account any extension of time within which
to file) all material federal, foreign, state, local, and other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by it, which Tax Returns
were true, correct and complete in all material respects. All material Taxes (whether or not reflected on such Tax Returns) required
to be paid under applicable Law by the Company or its Subsidiaries have been timely paid. All material Taxes required to be withheld
and paid over by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority. There are
no outstanding waivers or extensions of time with respect to the period for assessing or auditing any material Tax or material
Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, except to the extent any such waiver is a result of an extension to
file a Tax Return. There are no audits or proceedings relating to any material Tax or material Tax Return of the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company raised in writing by any Tax authority and, to the knowledge of the Company, no such audit is being
contemplated. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has participated in any transaction described in Section 1.6011-4(b)(2)
of the Treasury Regulations.


 


5.14         REIT
Status. Commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has been organized in conformity with the requirements
for qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Code (a “REIT”), and its actual method of operation
has enabled it to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Code. Assuming that (a) the sole asset
of a REIT is an interest in Opco, (b) such REIT was entitled, as a partner of Opco, to a distributive share, within the meaning
of Section 702(a) of the Code, of the income, gain, loss and expense of Opco, that represented a pro rata portion of the income,
gain, loss and expense recognized by Opco, and (c) such REIT timely and properly elected to treat each subsidiary of Opco that
qualifies as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company, within the meaning of Section 856(l), as a taxable REIT subsidiary of such
REIT (such assumption, the “Opco REIT Assumption”), then, with respect to such REIT, commencing with its taxable year
that includes the Initial Closing, Opco’s actual gross income, assets and method of operation would have enabled it to meet
the requirements contained in Sections 856(c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) of the Code with respect to its gross income and assets.

Company, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is being investigated with respect to, or has been threatened to be charged
with or given notice of any violation of, any applicable Law except for violations that in the aggregate would not be materially

of the Company and its Subsidiaries is and, since January 1, 2014, has been in compliance with all terms and conditions of any
such Environmental Permit applicable to it, except for where the failure to obtain an Environmental Permit or failure to comply

formerly owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, that would reasonably be expected to result in Liability

any Environmental Law, except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company

and/or the giving of notice or both, would reasonably be expected to result in a material default under the terms of any Ground
Lease. All rents, additional rents and other sums due and payable under each Ground Lease have been paid in full. Neither the Company,
the applicable Subsidiary of the Company nor the applicable ground lessor under any Ground Lease has commenced any Action or given
or received any written notice for the purpose of terminating such Ground Lease.


 


(c)          To

(f)          Each
Real Property (including, but not limited to the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable
Laws, including parking, building and zoning and land use Laws, ordinances, regulations and codes, except such non-compliance that
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the applicable Real Property
or the use or operation thereof. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, and to the knowledge of the Company, any other
Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Real Property has committed any act which may give any Governmental
Authority the right to cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to forfeit any Real Property or any material part thereof.
Each Real Property is used exclusively for the operation of a hotel and other appurtenant and related uses. To the knowledge of
the Company, in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed
in all material respects to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without
violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special Permits,
subject to customary rebuildability statutes in the applicable jurisdictions and the terms of any applicable Indebtedness. No Actions
are pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened with respect to the zoning of any Real Property, except for such Actions
as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the applicable Real Property
or the use or operation thereof. To the knowledge of the Company, all material certifications, permits, licenses and approvals,
including without limitation, certificates of completion, occupancy permits and any applicable liquor licenses required of the
Company or its Subsidiaries for the legal use, occupancy and operation of each Real Property for its current use, have been obtained
and are in full force and effect, except to the extent the failure to obtain such certifications, permits, licenses and permits
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the applicable Real Property
or the use or operation thereof. To the knowledge of the Company, the use being made of each Real Property is in material conformity
with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Real Property.


 


(g)          Each
Real Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate
to service such Real Property for its intended uses, except to the extent the failure to have such rights would not individually,
or in the aggregate, reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the applicable Real Property or the use or operation
thereof. To the knowledge of the Company, all public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Real
Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting such Real Property (which utilities are connected so as to serve such
Real Property without passing over other property) or are in easements serving such Real Property.


 


(h)          To
the knowledge of the Company: (a) each Real Property, including all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm
drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior
sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and repair in all
material respects; (b) there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in such Real Property, whether latent or
otherwise, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has received notice from any insurance company or bonding
company of any defects or inadequacies in such Real Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability
of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination or threatened termination of
any policy of insurance or bond, except with respect to any of the foregoing, as individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably
be likely to have a material adverse effect on the applicable Real Property or the use or operation thereof.


 




    	 	45	 



     


    

  


(i)          All
of the Improvements appurtenant to each Real Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Real
Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such Real Property, and no easements or other encumbrances
affecting such Real Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as (in each of the foregoing cases) to materially and adversely
affect the value or marketability of such Real Property, except with respect to any of the foregoing as, individually or in the
aggregate, would not reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect on the applicable Real Property or the use or operation
thereof.


 


(j)          The
Improvements have suffered no casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid, except for
such casualty or damage as, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be likely to have a material adverse effect
on the applicable Real Property or the use or operation thereof.


 


(k)          Each
Franchise Agreement, pursuant to which a Subsidiary of the Company has the right to operate the hotel located on the applicable
Real Property under a name and/or hotel system controlled by the applicable Franchisor, is in full force and effect and there is
no material default existing thereunder by any party thereto and, to the knowledge of the Company, no event has occurred (other
than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a material
default by any party thereunder. As of the date hereof, neither the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company nor any Franchisor has
exercised any termination option under the applicable Franchise Agreement, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company
has given any notice to the applicable Franchisor of the Company’s or any Subsidiary of the Company’s election to terminate
such Franchise Agreement, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company has received from any Franchisor such Franchisor’s
notice of its election to terminate such Franchise Agreement. As of the date hereof, Schedule 5.29(k) contains a true, correct
and complete list, by Real Property, of each Franchise Agreement under which a Subsidiary of the Company has the right to operate
the applicable Real Property, and true, correct and complete in each case, in all material respects, copies of each such Franchise
Agreement, as amended and in effect as of the date hereof (including all material amendments and modifications thereto), have been
provided to the Investor.


 


(l)          As
of the date hereof, there is currently no PIP or similar requirement imposed under any Franchise Agreement for calendar years 2016
or 2017 other than as set forth on the attachments to the Franchise Agreements made available to the Investor.


 


5.30        Transactions
With Affiliates. No Related Party is presently a party to any transaction, directly or indirectly, with the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries (other than for ordinary course services as employees, officers or directors), including any Contract, agreement
or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for rental of Real Property or personal property
to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any such Related Party or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation,

acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The Investor understands that
nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor in connection with the
purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. The Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment
advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.

and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment, and (3) the opportunity to obtain such additional information
that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment
decision with respect to the investment.

this Agreement under this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to any party if the breach by such party of its representations

shall have used its reasonable best efforts to remove such Order;


 


(d)          by

capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) Business Days (but in no event later than the Termination

that the Investor shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) if the Investor is then
in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder which breach would give rise to
the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2;


 




    	 	57	 



     


    

  


(e)          by
the Company if the Investor shall have breached any of its representations or warranties or failed to perform any of its covenants
or agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition

set forth in Section 7.2 or Section 7.3; or


 


(f)          by

10.4        Transfer
Taxes. The Company shall bear fifty percent (50%) and the Investor shall bear fifty percent (50%) of any and all documentary,
stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due, if any, on (x) the issuance of the Redeemable Preferred Share at the Initial Closing,
(y) the issuance of Convertible Preferred Units at the Initial Closing and each Subsequent Closing and (z) the issuance of shares
of Redemption Stock and Conversion OP Units upon any redemption of OP Units or Convertible Preferred Units (assuming, in the case
of the OP Units, that the Company elects to deliver Common Shares on such redemption, and in the case of the Convertible Preferred
Units, their prior conversion to Conversion OP Units) held by the Investor. However, in the case of any conversion of OP Units
or Convertible Preferred Units (assuming, in the case of the latter, their prior conversion to Conversion OP Units) held by the
Investor, the Company and Opco shall not be required to pay any tax or duty that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved
in the issuance and delivery of Common Shares in a name other than that of the holder of the OP Units or Convertible Preferred
Units to be converted, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issuance has
paid to the Company and/or the Investor the amount of any such tax or duty, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company

Documents shall be issued, filed or furnished, as the case may be, by any party without the prior written consent of the other
parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release, announcement or filing
as may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the
release or announcement shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, allow the other parties reasonable time to comment on such
release or announcement in advance of such issuance. The provisions of this Section 10.5 shall not restrict the ability of
a party to make any such release, announcement or filing which contains only information which has previously been publicly disclosed
in a manner consistent with this Section 10.5.


 


10.6        Tax
Related Covenants.


 


(a)          The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation
as a REIT under the Code for its taxable year that includes the Initial Closing and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts
to continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, subject to any future determination by the Company’s Board
that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests to qualify as a REIT. Assuming the Opco REIT Assumption, and subject
to any future determination by the Company’s Board that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests for Opco to
meet the following requirements, then, with respect to the REIT in the Opco REIT Assumption, the Company will use its reasonable
best efforts to cause Opco’s actual gross income, assets and method of operation to enable such REIT to meet, for its taxable
year that includes the Initial Closing, and cause Opco’s proposed method of operating to enable such REIT to continue to
meet, the requirements contained in Sections 856(c)(2), (c)(3) and (c)(4) of the Code with respect to its gross income and assets.

the Company would be limited pursuant to Section 382 of the Code.


 


10.7        Confidentiality.

than, in the case of the Investor, any Brookfield Excluded Affiliates) and its and its Affiliates’ (other than, in the case
of the Investor, any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate’s) respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, and not
disclose, except for (x) disclosures requested pursuant to, or required by, any applicable Law, regulation, legal process or rule
of a stock exchange or a request of a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such party or (y) to such party’s Associates
and Representatives (it being understood that those Associates and Representatives will be informed of the confidential nature
of the Confidential Information (as defined below) and will be directed to abide by the provisions of this Section 10.7 or otherwise
be bound by the confidentiality obligations with respect thereto), all non-public
records, books, Contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, the “Confidential

Representatives (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (a) previously available to such party
on a non-confidential basis, (b) in the public domain (other than
as a result of its disclosure by such party in breach of this Section 10.7), (c) already in the possession of such party prior
to disclosure by or on behalf of the other party and with respect to which such party was not aware of such Confidential Information
being subject to any obligation of confidentiality owed to the other party or (d) independently acquired or developed by such
party or its Affiliates or its or their directors, managers, officers, employees or advisors without violating any of such party’s
obligations under this Section 10.7. From and after the Initial Closing, the foregoing provisions shall supersede the terms of
the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall, as of the Initial Closing, be terminated and no longer of any force or effect.

to, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of, or waiver by, the Company, effect or seek, offer or propose
(whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in or in any way advise, assist or knowingly encourage any
other Person to effect or seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (1) any

any Person with respect to the voting of, any Common Shares (other than, in each case, in a manner that is not inconsistent
with the Board’s recommendation in connection with a matter); (3) seek election to, or seek to place a representative
on, the Board or removal of any member of the Board (other than with respect to the election or removal of a Redeemable

the policies of the Company; (7) publicly disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with any of the foregoing

Group of (i) any Equity Securities of the Company or Opco or (ii) Equity Securities or assets of any Subsidiary of the
Company (other than Opco) and/or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, representing 25% or more of the consolidated assets
of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than financing for the purchase of assets then being offered for sale by the
Company or its Subsidiaries or purchases permitted by Section 10.8(b))).

(b)          Subject
to Section 10.8(c) and Section 10.8(d), the Investor agrees that from and after the Initial Closing until the earlier of (i) the
second (2nd) anniversary of the Initial Closing, (ii) the completion of all Follow-On Fundings and (iii) the termination

such Closing or the receipt of distributions in connection therewith), directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent
of, or waiver by, the Company, acquire, offer to acquire or agree to acquire, by purchase or otherwise, more than fifteen percent
(15%) of the total number of Common Shares on an as-converted basis then outstanding in addition to Common Shares on an as-converted
basis acquired pursuant to this Agreement or the A&R Opco LPA (this Section 10.8(b) together with Section 10.8(a), the “Standstill”).


 


(c)          Notwithstanding

Preferred Director taken in good faith in his or her capacity as a member of the Board or (2) the participation of any Redeemable
Preferred Director in any Board (or committee of the Board, as applicable) discussions, deliberations, negotiations or determinations;
(ii) the Investor or any of its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) from initiating or engaging in private
discussions with, and/or making or submitting to, the Company, management of the Company and/or the Board a non-public, confidential
proposal with respect to any of the foregoing, so long as the Investor or any such Affiliate (other than any Brookfield Excluded
Affiliate) does not know, and would not be reasonably expected to know, that such actions would require the Company to make a public
announcement regarding such discussions or such proposal; (iii) subject to Section 10.9, the exercise by any holder of Common Shares
of the voting rights of such Common Shares; or (iv) the exercise of any rights pursuant to the other Transaction Documents (including,
(1) the acquisition of Redemption Stock issuable upon redemption of OP Units or Convertible Preferred Units (assuming, in the case
of the OP Units, that the Company elects to deliver Common Shares, and in the case of the Convertible Preferred Units, their prior
conversion to Conversion OP Units); (2) the acquisition of Convertible Preferred Units issued in connection with any Subsequent
Closing; (3) the exercise by the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share of its rights under the Charter and/or A&R Bylaws

    	 	67	 



     


    

  


(d)          Any
acquisitions of Common Shares not prohibited by the terms of Section 10.8(b) shall only be made by the Investor or any of its
Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) (i) (A) prior to a Listing, pursuant to privately negotiated purchases
made with third parties and (B) from and after a Listing, pursuant to open market purchases and (ii) subject to the execution
and delivery, at the Initial Closing, of the Ownership Limit Waiver Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F by the
Investor (including the receipt by the Company of a representation letter from the Investor) in accordance with Section 10.19.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investor shall with respect to any acquisition of Common Shares at any time be subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 16.7 of the A&R Opco LPA, if applicable at the time of such acquisition.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Standstill will terminate ninety (90) days following
any failure by Opco for any reason (including the restrictions imposed by Section 17-607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act) to redeem all Convertible Preferred Units of Opco that the Investor or any of its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield
Excluded Affiliate) have elected to redeem in accordance with Section 16.5(a) of the A&R Opco LPA.


 


(f)          
Neither the Investor nor any of its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate), assignees or transferees shall be
permitted to transfer any Convertible Preferred Units to any Person (any such Person, an “Investor Transferee”)

such Investor Transferee (together with its Affiliates) would, immediately following such transfer, own Common Shares on an as-converted
basis representing in the aggregate more than twenty percent (20%) of the then-outstanding Common Shares, unless, prior to or concurrently
with such transfer, the Investor Transferee agrees to be bound by this Section 10.8 by executing a joinder to this Agreement in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit L; provided, that the Investor (or any of its applicable Affiliates) shall be deemed
to have fulfilled any obligation of due inquiry created by this Section 10.8(f) if the Investor Transferee has made to Opco a written
representation that such Investor Transferee’s ownership with respect to Common Shares is less than twenty percent (20%)
on an as-converted basis.

10.9        Voting
Standstill.


 


(a)          During
the Voting Standstill Period, if, as of the record date for determining the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at any
annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company (however noticed or called) (other than a special meeting of the holder
of the Redeemable Preferred Share) or for determining the stockholders of the Company entitled to consent to any corporate action
by written consent (other than a written consent of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share), the Investor and/or any of its
Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) owns Common Shares (the “Subject Shares”) representing
in the aggregate more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the then-outstanding Common Shares (such number of Subject Shares as of
such record date in excess of thirty-five percent (35%) of the then-outstanding Common Shares being referred to as the “Excess
Shares”), then at each such meeting or in each such action by written consent the Investor and/or its applicable Affiliates
(other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) shall vote or furnish a written consent in respect of the Excess Shares, or cause
the Excess Shares to be voted or consented, in each case, in such manner as directed by a majority of the members of the Board
(such limitation on the voting rights of the Investor, the “Voting Standstill”). For the avoidance of doubt,
all Subject Shares other than the Excess Shares may be voted for or against any matter in the Investor and/or its Affiliates’
(other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) sole and absolute discretion, notwithstanding the Voting Standstill.


 


(b)          During
the Voting Standstill Period, with respect to any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (however noticed or called) or any
action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, (i) the number of Excess Shares will be determined by the Company
promptly following the record date established for determining the stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at such meeting
or entitled to consent to any corporate action by written consent, respectively, and (ii) the Company shall inform the Investor
of the Board’s instructions as to how the Investor and/or its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) are
required to vote or furnish a written consent in respect of such Excess Shares with respect to a given matter.


 


(c)          During
the Voting Standstill Period, the Investor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded
Affiliate) to, take any action (or omit to take any action), or enter into any transaction, contract, agreement, arrangement, plan,
commitment or understanding with any Person or Group, to vote, consent to, give instructions with respect to, or grant a proxy
or proxies with respect to, or deposit in a voting trust any Excess Shares of the Company, in any such case in any manner inconsistent
with provisions of this Section 10.9.


 




    	 	69	 



     


    

 


(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, during the Voting Standstill Period and so long as the Investor and/or any of its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield
Excluded Affiliate) owns Common Shares representing in the aggregate more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the then-outstanding
Common Shares, the number of total votes the Investor and its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) are entitled
to cast with respect to any vote of the stockholders of the Company will be equal to the product of (i) the total number of Subject
Shares and (ii) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares actually cast with respect to such vote (excluding
any Subject Shares) and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of Common Shares then outstanding (less the number of
Subject Shares) (such limitation on the votes cast by the Investor and its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate),
the “Proportional Voting Standstill”); provided, that (x) in the case of any vote of the Company stockholders
requiring the approval of a majority of the total number of Common Shares outstanding (as opposed to a majority of the number of
shares voting on such matter), then the Investor and its Affiliates shall not be subject to the Proportional Voting Standstill
and at such meeting or in such action by written consent the Investor and its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate)
shall be entitled to vote or furnish a written consent in respect of all of the Subject Shares, or cause all of the Subject Shares
to be voted or consented, and (y) if the application of the Proportional Voting Standstill would result in a quorum not being achieved
with respect to a given vote of the stockholders of the Company, then the threshold of the Proportional Voting Standstill shall
not apply and instead the Investor and its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate) shall be entitled to vote
or furnish a written consent in respect of the number of Subject Shares, or cause the number of Subject Shares to be voted or consented,
that would be sufficient to allow the stockholders to achieve a quorum for such vote, provided that all Subject Shares voted
or consented to with respect to such vote of the stockholders of the Company shall be subject to the thirty-five percent (35%)
Voting Standstill threshold set forth in Section 10.9(a).


 


(e)          In
the event that the Voting Standstill Period expires or is terminated for any reason, the Voting Standstill Period shall not be
reinstated and the Investor and its Affiliates shall no longer be subject to or under any obligation pursuant to this Section 10.9.


 


(f)          Neither
the Investor nor any of its Affiliates (other than any Brookfield Excluded Affiliate), assignees or transferees shall be permitted
to transfer any Convertible Preferred Units to any Investor Transferee to the extent that the Investor, as of the time immediately
prior to such transfer, had actual knowledge (after due inquiry) that such Investor Transferee (together with its Affiliates) would,
immediately following such transfer, own Common Shares on an as-converted basis representing in the aggregate more than thirty-five
percent (35%) of the then-outstanding Common Shares, unless, prior to or concurrently with such transfer, the Investor Transferee
agrees to be bound by this Section 10.9 by executing a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L;
provided, that the Investor (or any of its applicable Affiliates) shall be deemed to have fulfilled any obligation of due inquiry
created by this Section 10.9(f) if the Investor Transferee has made to Opco a written representation that such Investor Transferee’s
ownership with respect to Common Shares is less than thirty-five percent (35%) on an as-converted basis.


 


10.10      Access.


 


(a)          From
the date hereof, the Company and Opco shall provide to the Investor and the Investor’s authorized agents, Affiliates or Representatives
(i) reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records, Properties (including access to its Properties to
conduct Phase I environmental site assessments, but no access to conduct Phase II or other invasive sampling shall be granted without
the Company’s prior written consent), directors, managers and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including, to
the extent available, copies of minutes of all meetings of directors and equityholders and copies of all actions by written consent
(provided, that the Company and Opco may exclude or redact from such materials any information relating to (A) the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (B) matters for which disclosure to the Investor or the Investor’s authorized agents, Affiliates,
or Representatives would or could reasonably be expected to violate applicable Law or Order, (C) any Acquisition Proposal or other
proposal made prior to the Initial Closing by a Person other than the Investor and its Affiliates which would reasonably be considered
to compete with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, or (D) matters which are otherwise
reasonably deemed by the Board to be confidential or the subject of attorney-client privilege or attorney work product privilege;
provided, further, that in the case of clause (D), the Company and/or Opco shall inform the Investor of the general
nature of the information being excluded or redacted and, upon the Investor’s request, reasonably cooperate with the Investor
to provide such information, in whole or in part, in a manner that would not result in the disclosure of any such confidential
information or waiver of any such legal privilege (including, if requested by the Investor, by entering into a confidentiality,
common interest or joint defense agreement)), (ii) copies of all Contracts, books and records, documents relating to the terms
of employment or any other matter relating to any officer, director, manager or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
and other existing documents and data as the Investor may reasonably request; and (iii) such additional financial, operating and
other data and information as the Investor may reasonably request.


 




    	 	70	 



     


    

  


(b)          Without
limiting the foregoing, but subject to the other terms of this Section 10.10(b), from and after the date hereof, the Company and
Opco shall consult with the Investor, and allow the Investor the opportunity to reasonably participate in, at the Investor’s
cost, and keep the Investor reasonably informed with respect to, any pending or threatened Action brought by any shareholder or
equityholder of the Company or Opco against the Company or Opco or any of their respective directors or officers. Neither the Company,
Opco, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information pursuant to this
Section 10.10 where such access or disclosure would, in the good faith judgment of such party, jeopardize the attorney-client,
attorney work product or other legal privilege of such party or its Subsidiaries, or contravene any Law or Order. The parties hereto
shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions
of the preceding sentence apply.


 


(c)          This
Section 10.10 shall not affect or otherwise diminish or obviate in any respect, or affect the Investor’s right to rely
upon, any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.


 


10.11      Notification
of Certain Matters. Subject to applicable Law, during the period from the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the Initial
Closing and the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated, (i) the Company and Opco shall notify the Investor of any
Company Effect arising after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any of the
conditions set forth in Section 7 to be satisfied and (ii) the Investor shall notify the Company and Opco of any change, development,
occurrence, fact, condition, circumstance, result or event arising after the date of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected
to result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8 to be satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the failure by the Company and Opco or the Investor to provide such notice under this Section 10.11
shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes of Section 7.3 or Section 8.2, as applicable.


 




    	 	71	 



     


    

  


10.12      Company
Name Change. The Company shall change its name to “Hospitality Investors Trust, Inc.” pursuant to the Charter
Amendment in which that change and no other change is made and which shall be approved by the Board and filed with the State Department
of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland prior to the Initial Closing.


 


10.13     
REIT Covenant.


 


(a)          At
all times while any Convertible Preferred Units are outstanding, the Company shall provide the Investor within forty-five (45)
days after the end of each fiscal quarter an opinion of nationally recognized tax counsel with expertise in REIT matters, substantially
in the form set forth on Schedule 10.13(a). If the Board determines that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests
to qualify as a REIT, the Investor and the Company will discuss in good faith revisions to the form of opinion set forth on Schedule
10.13(a), provided that the conclusion of the revised opinion shall be substantially the same as the form set forth on Schedule
10.13(a), and shall reflect only such revisions as are necessary to reflect the cessation of the Company’s status as a REIT.


 


(b)          At
all times while any Convertible Preferred Units are outstanding, the Company shall notify the Investor no later than twenty-five
(25) days after the end of any fiscal quarter if, at the end of such fiscal quarter, it has actual knowledge based on reasonable
diligence that Opco would fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 856(c)(4) of the Code, assuming for this purpose the Opco
REIT Assumption.  The Investor, the Company and Opco shall use reasonable best efforts to cure any such failure no later than
thirty (30) days after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter; provided that if any such failure cannot be cured within thirty
(30) days after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter, the Investor, the Company and Opco shall use reasonable best efforts to
mitigate the effect of such failure pursuant to any method available under Sections 856 and 857 of the Code.


 


(c)          Subject
to any future determination by the Board that it is no longer in the Company’s best interests to qualify as a REIT, at all
times while the Investor or any of its Affiliates own Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Units,
the Company shall provide the Investor within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter an opinion of nationally
recognized tax counsel with expertise in REIT matters, dated as of the end of such fiscal quarter and substantially in the form
set forth on Schedule 10.13(c). The Investor shall notify the Company in writing promptly following such time that neither it nor
any of its Affiliates continues to own any Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Units.


 


10.14      Termination
of Agreements. Prior to the Initial Closing, except for any Affiliate Contracts contemplated to survive by or be entered into
pursuant to, and transactions expressly contemplated by, the Framework Agreement or the exhibits thereto, the Company shall cause
to be terminated each Affiliate Contract, other than the Contracts listed on Schedule 10.14, in each case without any further
force or effect or survival of any provision thereunder and without any cost, expense or Liability (other than, in the case of
management agreements being terminated, the payment of contractually required management fees and expense reimbursements accruing
prior to the Initial Closing Date and other than de minimis costs or expenses) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any
of their respective post-Closing Affiliates.

10.20       Funding
Determination. If at any time following the commencement of any Scheduled Action or the entry of or into any Scheduled Order
or Settlement the Investor reasonably expects that it will assert a right not to consummate any Follow-On Funding hereunder as
a result of such Scheduled Action or Scheduled Order or Settlement, the Investor shall, as promptly as practicable following such
determination, notify the Company in writing that as of such time it reasonably expects that it will assert a right not to consummate
such Follow-On Funding as a result of such Scheduled Action or Scheduled Order or Settlement (a “Funding Determination
Notice”). Following the receipt of a Funding Determination Notice, during the one hundred and fifty (150) day period
prior to such time that the Company would have the right to assert that a Funding Failure has occurred pursuant to Section 11.6(b)(i)
in respect of the applicable Subsequent Closing, the Company shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Investor,
to commence marketing Properties of the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries for sale (any Properties so marketed, collectively,
the “Marketed Properties”) with the intent and purpose of generating sales proceeds to the Company (a) in such
amount that would have been paid to the Company by the Investor in respect of Convertible Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing
and (b) solely for the purposes set forth in Section 10.15 with respect to such Subsequent Closing; provided that except during
a Suspension Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be
permitted to consummate the sale of any Marketed Properties without the prior written consent of the Investor.

contained in the A&R Opco LPA shall be increased by twenty-five (25) basis points.


 


10.22       General
Insurance. Following the Initial Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurers such insurance as may be required by Law or under any Material Contract and such other insurance, to the extent and against
such casualties and contingencies, as is customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar business and similarly
situated.

11.          Survival;
Indemnification; Limitations on Liability.


 


11.1        Survival.


 


(a)          Subject
to the other terms and conditions of this Section ‎11, (i) each of the representations and warranties of the Company and Opco
set forth in this Agreement and in any certificates delivered by or on behalf of the Company or Opco hereunder in connection with
the Initial Closing shall survive (together with any right to assert a claim under ‎Section 11.2(a)) the Initial Closing and
the consummation of the transactions at the Initial Closing and shall expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the
Initial Closing; provided, however, that the Fundamental Seller Representations made at the Initial Closing and the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 5.13 (Taxes), Section 5.14 (REIT Status), Section 5.20 (Benefit Plans) and Section 5.26 (Illegal
Payments) shall survive (together with any right to assert a claim under ‎Section 11.2(a)) the Initial Closing until sixty
(60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) (A) each of the representations and warranties
of the Company and Opco contained in Section 5.8(a) (Financial Statements), Section 5.9 (Reports), Section 5.33 (General Solicitation),
Section 5.34 (Offering; Exemption) and Section 5.35 (No Integrated Offering) and in any certificates delivered by or on behalf
of the Company or Opco hereunder in connection with any Subsequent Closing shall survive (together with any right to assert a claim
under ‎Section 11.2(a)) the applicable Subsequent Closing and the consummation of the transactions at the applicable Subsequent
Closing and shall expire on the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Subsequent Closing at which such representations and
warranties are made and (B) each of the Fundamental Seller Representations made at any Subsequent Closing shall survive (together
with any right to assert a claim under ‎Section 11.2(a)) such Subsequent Closing until sixty (60) days after the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations.


 


(b)          Each
of the covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive (together with any right to assert a claim under
‎Section 11.2(b)) each Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until the later of the expiration
of (i) its term and (ii) the applicable statute of limitations.


 


(c)          The
obligations of the Company and Opco contained in Section 11.2(c) shall survive (together with any right to assert a claim under
‎Section 11.2(c)) each Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby until the date that is the fifth
(5th) Anniversary of the Initial Closing.


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (i) any Claim asserted in good faith pursuant to Section 11.4 by delivery of a Claim Notice
prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 11.1(a), Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.1(c) shall
survive until such Claim is fully and finally resolved, and (ii) the delivery of such a Claim Notice shall extend the applicable
survival period until such Claim is fully and finally resolved, irrespective of whether the party delivering such Claim Notice
has initiated any Action or otherwise taken any further action in connection with the matters constituting the basis for such Claim.
For the avoidance of doubt, a Claim with respect to a Scheduled Action may be brought upon the filing of such Scheduled Action,
regardless of whether a judgment or settlement has been reached, and the obligation of the Company and Opco contained in Section
11.2(c) shall survive until final disposition of the Scheduled Action and resolution of such Claim.

11.2        Indemnification
by the Company and Opco. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Section 11, from and after the Initial Closing,
the Company and Opco shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Investor and its Affiliates and each
of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Investor
Indemnitees”) from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of the Investor Indemnitees for, any and all Losses
incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Investor Indemnitees based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating
to:


 


(a)          any
inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or Opco contained in this Agreement or in any certificate
delivered by or on behalf of the Company or Opco pursuant to this Agreement (other than any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation
or warranty of the Company or Opco contained in the last sentence of Section 5.12), as of the date such representation or warranty
was made or as of the applicable Closing Date with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the applicable Closing Date
(except for any such representations and warranties that are specifically made as of a particular date, the inaccuracy in or breach
of which will be determined with reference to such specified date);


 


(b)          any
breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by the Company or Opco pursuant to this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document; and


 


(c)          any
Scheduled Action.


 


11.3        Limitations
and Other Matters Relating to Indemnification


 


(a)          Other
than with respect to any claims for indemnification or Losses based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy
in or breach of any Fundamental Seller Representations, the Company and Opco shall not be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless,
pay or reimburse the Investor Indemnitees under Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(c): (i) with respect to any given Claim (as defined
below) made pursuant to Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(c) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses of the Investor
Indemnitees in respect of Claims made hereunder exceeds an amount equal to six million dollars ($6,000,000) (the “Indemnification
Deductible”), and once the Indemnification Deductible has been exceeded, the Company and Opco shall only be required
to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay and reimburse for Losses in excess of the Indemnification Deductible; and (ii) for
any Claim if the aggregate amount of Losses in respect of such Claim are less than $25,000 (the “Minimum Claim Amount”);
and provided further that such Losses in respect of Claims that do not meet the Minimum Claim Amount shall not be counted toward
the Indemnification Deductible.


 




    	 	76	 



     


    

 


(b)          Other
than with respect to any claims for indemnification or Losses based upon, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any inaccuracy
in or breach of any Fundamental Seller Representation or the representations and warranties of the Company and Opco set forth in
Section 5.13 (Taxes), Section 5.20 (Benefit Plans) and Section 5.26 (Illegal Payments), the Company and Opco shall not be required
to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse the Investor Indemnitees under Section 11.2(a) or Section 11.2(c) from and
after the aggregate amount of all Losses paid in respect of such Claims for indemnification under Section 11.2(a) and Section 11.2(c)
exceeds an amount equal to sixty million dollars ($60,000,000). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, the Company
and Opco shall not be liable for, or be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Investor Indemnitee against, any Losses
in respect of Claims made pursuant to this Agreement in excess of an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Aggregate Purchase Price
calculated as of the date that payment is made with respect any given Claim assuming compounding of amounts funded by the Investor
at each applicable Closing at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum from the date such amounts are funded until the payment date
of the Claim and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid cash dividends payable on the Convertible Preferred Units held by the
Investor at the time payment is made with respect to such outstanding Claim.


 


(c)          For
the purposes of determining whether a breach of representation or warranty has occurred for the purposes of Section 11.2(a), and
for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses related thereto, any qualification as to materiality, “Material Adverse
Effect” or any other similar qualification or standard contained in Section 5 of this Agreement or in any certificate delivered
by the Company or Opco pursuant to Section 7.4 of this Agreement shall be disregarded.


 


(d)          Any
payment made by the Company or Opco to an Investor Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 11 in respect of any Claim shall be net
of any third party insurance or other proceeds that have been recovered by the Investor Indemnitee in connection with the facts
giving rise to the right of indemnification (after deducting reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with recovery
of such proceeds, including deductibles and actual or reasonably anticipated premium increases to the extent resulting from such
insurance claims); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require any Investor Indemnitee to maintain any insurance coverage
or to assert claims under its insurance coverage.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein (including Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Section 7.7), the rights and remedies of the Investor Indemnitees
shall not be limited by the fact that any Investor Indemnitee (i) had actual or constructive knowledge (regardless of whether such
knowledge was obtained through such Investor Indemnitee’s own investigation or through disclosure by the Company or Opco,
their respective Representatives or any other Person) of any breach, event or circumstance, whether before or after the execution
and delivery of this Agreement or the applicable Closing, or (ii) waived (A) any breach of any representation or compliance
with any covenant or (B) any condition to the applicable Closing set forth in Section 7.


 


(f)          For
the avoidance of doubt, with respect to each Subsequent Closing, the Investor shall be deemed to have relied upon each representation
and warranty made as of the date hereof and each representation and warranty made as of any prior Closing (including the Initial
Closing), in each case as of the date such representation or warranty was made; provided that this Section 11.3(f) shall not apply
to the interpretation of Section 7.2(b).


 




    	 	77	 



     


    

  


(g)          No
Investor Indemnitee shall have any right to recover any Losses hereunder to the extent that such Losses are based upon, result
from, arise out of or relate to (i) any breach or failure to perform by the Investor of any of its covenants or agreements set
forth in this Agreement or (ii) the Investor’s fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct.


 


(h)          If
the Investor exercises any right to cause Opco to redeem all or any portion of its Convertible Preferred Units pursuant to the
terms of the A&R Opco LPA and Opco actually redeems any portion of such Convertible Preferred Units pursuant to such right
of the Investor, with respect to any Claim of any Investor Indemnitee (other than a Third-Party Claim), such Investor Indemnitee
shall only have the right to recover the Losses pursuant to Section 11.2 to the extent such Losses are based upon, result from,
arise out of, or relate to the ownership of Convertible Preferred Units, OP Units or Common Shares not so redeemed; provided, that,
for the avoidance of doubt, this shall not apply to any redemption exercisable at the option of Opco or the Company. For the avoidance
of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not limit any recovery by any Investor Indemnitee for Losses in connection with any Third-Party
Claim.


 


11.4        Indemnification
Procedures.


 


(a)          All
claims for indemnification pursuant to this Section 11 shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section
11.4. An Investor Indemnitee entitled to assert a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) pursuant to this Section
11 shall give the Company and Opco written notice of any such Claim (a “Claim Notice”) reasonably promptly after
(i) in the case of a Third-Party Claim, receiving written notice of such Third-Party Claim or (ii) becoming actually aware of any
Loss for which such Investor Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification under this Section 11. Any description of the Claim
included in such Claim Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail (A) the basis of such Claim and (B) an estimate of the Losses
of such Investor Indemnitee to the extent then reasonably ascertainable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Claim Notice need
only specify such information to the actual knowledge of the Investor Indemnitee as of the date of such Claim Notice and shall
not limit or prejudice (x) any of the rights or remedies of any Investor Indemnitee on the basis of any limitations on the information
included in such Claim Notice, including any such limitations made in good faith to preserve the attorney-client privilege, work
product doctrine or any other privilege or (y) the ability of the Investor Indemnitee to amend, alter, modify or supplement such
Claim Notice in any manner. No failure to give written notice in accordance with the procedures set forth above shall relieve the
Company or Opco of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Company or Opco is materially
and adversely prejudiced by such failure.


 




    	 	78	 



     


    

 


(b)          With
respect to any Claim made by an Investor Indemnitee in connection with any Action made or brought by any Person (other than an
Investor Indemnitee in connection with this Agreement) against such Investor Indemnitee (a “Third-Party Claim”),
the Company and/or Opco shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Investor Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after
delivery of the Claim Notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim
at the Company and/or Opco’s expense with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to the Investor Indemnitee,
and the Investor Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that the Company and
Opco shall not have the right to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim that (i) relates to or arises in connection with
any Action in respect of a criminal charge, (ii) seeks any injunctive or other equitable relief against the Investor Indemnitee
or any of its Affiliates or (iii) seeks monetary damages the amount of which would reasonably be expected to exceed the amount
of Losses for which the Company and Opco are responsible hereunder. The Investor Indemnitee or the Company and/or Opco, as the
case may be, if not controlling such defense shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of
any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel
to the Investor Indemnitee, (A) there are legal defenses available to the Investor Indemnitee that are different from or additional
to those available to the Company and/or Opco or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Company and/or Opco,
on the one hand, and the Investor Indemnitee, on the other hand, the Company and Opco shall be liable for the reasonable fees and
expenses of one (1) separate counsel (including advancement thereof) to the Investor Indemnitee in each jurisdiction in which the
Investor Indemnitee reasonably determines counsel is required. If the Company and/or Opco elects not to control the defense of
such Third-Party Claim (including by failing to promptly notify the Investor Indemnitee in writing of its election to control such
defense in accordance with this Section 11.4(b)) or fails to take reasonable steps to prosecute the defense of such Third-Party
Claim, the Investor Indemnitee may control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with one (1) counsel of its choosing, and the
Company and Opco shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel (including advancement thereof) to the Investor Indemnitee
in each jurisdiction in which the Investor Indemnitee reasonably determines counsel is required. Each of the Investor Indemnitee,
on the one hand, and the Company and Opco, on the other hand, shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the
defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by retaining and providing to the party controlling such defense records and information
that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim and making available employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing
additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Investor Indemnitee or the Company and/or Opco,
as the case may be, that is controlling such defense shall keep the other parties reasonably advised of the status of such Action
and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other parties with respect thereto.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Company and Opco shall not agree to any settlement of any Third-Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Investor Indemnitee (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed), unless such settlement would (A) include a complete and unconditional release of each Investor Indemnitee and its
Affiliates from all Liabilities or obligations with respect thereto, (B) not impose any Liability or obligation (including
any equitable remedies) on the Investor Indemnitee and its Affiliates and (C) not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing
on the part of the Investor Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) an Investor Indemnitee shall not agree to any settlement
of a Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Company and/or Opco, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.


 


11.5        Tax
Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Section 11 shall be deemed adjustments
to the Aggregate Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.


 




    	 	79	 



     


    

  


11.6        Remedies.


 


(a)          General.
Other than any remedies available due to a breach of any other Transaction Document, all representations and warranties set forth
in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. Except as provided
in the next sentence, and other than any remedies available due to a breach of any other Transaction Document, the remedies provided
in this Section 11 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Investor Indemnitees and their heirs, successors and permitted
assigns after the Initial Closing with respect to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, including any breach
or non-performance of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. Other than any remedies available due
to a breach of any other Transaction Document, no Investor Indemnitee shall bring any claim with respect to this Agreement and/or
the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, except to bring claims pursuant to Section 14.2 or
to bring claims for indemnification against the Company and Opco in accordance with this Section 11 or for fraud or intentional
misrepresentation. In no event shall any Investor Indemnitee be entitled to multiple recoveries in respect of the same Loss.


 


(b)          Remedy
Upon Funding Failure.


 


(i)          If,
in connection with the First Follow-On Funding, the Second Follow-On Funding or any Other Funding, (A) Opco delivers to the Investor
a Follow-On Funding Notice at least forty-five (45) days in advance of the anticipated applicable Subsequent Closing Date, (B)
at the end of the fifteen (15) Business Day period contemplated by Section 3(a), Section 3(b) or Section 3(c), as applicable, each
of the Company and Opco believes that all of the conditions to such Subsequent Closing have been satisfied or waived (other than
those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the applicable Subsequent Closing, but which conditions are capable
of being satisfied at such Subsequent Closing), (C) the Investor fails to consummate such Subsequent Closing, (D) each of the Company
and Opco has delivered written notice to the Investor stating its belief that all of the conditions to such Subsequent Closing
have been met (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at such Subsequent Closing, but which conditions
are capable of being satisfied at such Subsequent Closing), which notice irrevocably confirms in writing to the Investor that if
the Investor were to consummate such Subsequent Closing in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company and Opco each would consummate
such Subsequent Closing in accordance with the terms hereof and each of the Company and Opco stand ready, willing and able to consummate
such Subsequent Closing at such time, and (E) the Investor fails to consummate such Subsequent Closing within three (3) Business
Days following delivery of the notice pursuant to clause (D) above, then such failure to consummate such Subsequent Closing by
the third (3rd) Business Day period shall be deemed a “Funding Failure.”


 


(ii)         Following
a Funding Failure, each of the Company and/or Opco shall be entitled to send a notice (a “Funding Failure Notice”)
to the Investor stating its belief that a Funding Failure has occurred. Following receipt of the Funding Failure Notice, the Investor
shall have fifteen (15) days to dispute the Company’s and/or Opco’s assertion, as applicable, that a Funding Failure
has occurred. During such period, either the Company and/or Opco, on the one hand, or the Investor, on the other hand, may bring
a declaratory or injunctive action or proceeding pursuant to the terms of Section 14.2 to determine whether a Funding Failure has
occurred and whether the remedies set forth in Section 11.6(b)(iii) shall be applicable.


 




    	 	80	 



     


    

  


(iii)        Unless
the parties otherwise mutually agree, if the Investor does not (A) cure the alleged Funding Failure or (B) obtain a declaratory
ruling that a Funding Failure has not occurred or an injunction prohibiting the Company and/or Opco from exercising their respective
rights under this Section 11.6(b)(iii) in respect of a Funding Failure, in any such case, within fifteen (15) days following the
date of such Funding Failure Notice, then, beginning on the sixteenth (16th) day following such Funding Failure (such
date, the “Partial Suspension Date”), the SPA Suspended Rights shall be automatically suspended without any
further action required by the Company, Opco, the Investor or any other Person.


 


(iv)        If
(1) the Investor or its Affiliates or any other Class C Unit Holder obtains a declaratory judgment determining that the conditions
to the applicable Subsequent Closing were not met, or injunctive relief preventing the application of the remedies set forth in
Section 11.6(b)(iii) (a “Suspension Reversal”), (2) the parties otherwise agree that the conditions to the applicable
Subsequent Closing were not met, or (3) the Investor consummates such Subsequent Closing (and, if, and only if, a court of competent
jurisdiction prior to the consummation of such Subsequent Closing in a final, non-appealable judgment, awards damages against the
Investor payable to the Company or Opco, the Investor pays to the Company and/or Opco such damages) (a “Funding Cure”),
then (A) the suspension of the SPA Suspended Rights shall terminate automatically without any further action required by the Company,
Opco, the Investor or any other Person and (B) any PIK Distributions and any related Class C Cash Distribution Amount (as defined
in the A&R Opco LPA) in respect thereof that would have been made but for the suspension of the SPA Suspended Rights shall
be made as promptly as practicable. Any action taken by the Company or Opco that would have required the approval of the majority
of the Class C Unit Holders in accordance with the A&R Opco LPA or a Primary Redeemable Preferred Director in accordance with
the Articles Supplementary but for the application of the Suspension Period shall not be invalidated to the extent such actions
cannot be repudiated or reversed without significant harm, cost or expense to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole,
or deemed a default or other violation of this Agreement, the Articles Supplementary or the A&R Opco LPA. For the avoidance
of doubt, the Investor shall have the right to exercise a Funding Cure at any time following an alleged Funding Failure and the
Company and Opco shall take all steps reasonably necessary to permit such Funding Cure to be exercised. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if, to the extent applicable, the Investor, its Affiliates or any other Class C Unit Holder is obligated to pay the Company and/or
Opco actual damages (which shall include consequential damages to the extent they were the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable
consequence of a Funding Failure) of the Company and/or Opco, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable
judgment, then such Funding Cure shall be revoked and the suspension of rights described in Section 11.6(b)(iii) shall be automatically
reinstated until such amounts are paid in full, at which time such suspension shall again be automatically terminated in accordance
with the terms of this Section 11.6(b)(iv).

(v)         If
the Company or Opco obtains a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction finding that a Funding Failure
has occurred, at the time of the initially scheduled Subsequent Closing, and that the Investor was therefore required to consummate
such Subsequent Closing at such time (a “Funding Failure Final Determination”), and the Investor shall not have
consummated such Subsequent Closing within ten (10) Business Days of such Funding Failure Final Determination, then (A) all of
the SPA Suspended Rights, as well as the AS Non-Suspended Rights and LPA Non-Suspended Rights, shall be permanently terminated
without further action by the Company, Opco, the Investor or any other Person (and, in furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the A&R Opco LPA, the Company, in its capacity as the General Partner of Opco, may amend
the A&R Opco LPA in accordance with the terms thereof to give effect to the foregoing), (B) the Company shall be entitled to
redeem the Redeemable Preferred Share at par value, (C) Opco shall be entitled immediately to redeem all or any portion of the
then-outstanding Convertible Preferred Units, in cash for their Liquidation Preference (as defined in the A&R Opco LPA), (D)
the Class C Unit Holders shall forfeit all Convertible Preferred Units received in respect of all PIK Distributions (but not the
Class C Cash Distribution Amounts (as defined in the A&R Opco LPA) in respect thereof) accrued from the date of the Initial
Closing until the Funding Failure Final Determination and thereafter, and (E) the Investor shall cause each of the Redeemable Preferred
Directors to resign from the Board.


 


(vi)        If
a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in a final and non-appealable judgment that a Funding Failure has not occurred, then,
without limiting any other remedy that the Investor or any other Investor Indemnitee may have pursuant to this Agreement, and without
duplication of any amounts paid by the Company or Opco in respect thereof pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents, the
Investor, its Affiliates and any other Class C Unit Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company and Opco any actual damages
(which shall include consequential damages to the extent they were the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable consequence
of the actions taken by the Company and/or Opco) of the Investor, its Affiliates and any other Class C Unit Holder as determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. For the avoidance of doubt, if a court of competent jurisdiction
determines, in a final and non-appealable judgment that a Funding Failure has not occurred, the Company and Opco shall each be
liable to the Investor, its Affiliates and any other Class C Unit Holder for the actual damages of the Investor, its Affiliates
and any other Class C Unit Holder as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment incurred
as a result of actions taken during the applicable Suspension Period in respect of the LPA Suspended Voting Rights or the AS Suspended
Rights without the consent of the majority of the Class C Unit Holders or a Primary Redeemable Preferred Director, as applicable
(which damages shall include consequential damages to the extent they were the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable consequence
of such actions).


 


12.         Commitment
Fee. On the Initial Closing Date, the Company shall either (i) pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by the Investor, a cash commitment fee of four million dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Commitment Fee”),
or (ii) direct the Investor to deduct such amount from the Initial Convertible Preferred Purchase Price in full and complete satisfaction
of the Commitment Fee, all of which shall be non-refundable; provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated in accordance
with its terms, the Company shall pay the Commitment Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Investor on the
effective date of such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee shall be deemed earned in full as of the date
hereof.


 




    	 	82	 



     


    

  


13.     
    Fees and Expenses.


 


(a)          If
the Initial Closing occurs, the Company shall reimburse, up to an aggregate amount of two million dollars ($2,000,000), the reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Investor and its Affiliates and Associates in connection
with the transactions contemplated herein, and such payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the receipt of documentation
evidencing such out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses from the Investor.


 


(b)          Except
as provided in this Section 13 or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in any of the other Transaction Documents,
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne by the
party incurring such costs and expenses.  


 


14.          Miscellaneous.


 


14.1        Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the Laws of the State of New York without regard to any choice of
Laws or conflict of Laws provisions that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.


 


14.2        Jurisdiction;
Enforcement; Specific Performance.


 


(a)          The
parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if any of the provisions
of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions that are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement) were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed
that each of the parties shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages)
to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, to prevent breaches
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in any state or federal courts
located in the City of New York and any appellate court therefrom within the State of New York, in addition to any other remedy
to which they are entitled at Law or in equity for any such breach. Each of the parties agree that it will not oppose the granting
of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law
or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. The parties hereto agree
that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 14.2, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek at
any time any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section
14.2 shall require any party hereto to institute any Action for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Action for)
specific performance under this Section 14.2 prior to or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Section 9 (and
pursuing monetary damages, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, after such termination), nor shall the commencement
of any Action pursuant to this Section 14.2 or anything set forth in this Section 14.2 restrict or limit any party’s right
to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may
be available then or thereafter.


 




    	 	83	 



     


    

  


(b)          In
addition, each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights
and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights
and obligations arising hereunder brought by any party or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively
in any state or federal courts located in the City of New York and any appellate court therefrom within the State of New York.
The parties further agree that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument
in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 14.2 and each party waives any objection
to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar
instrument. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect
of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not
bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court
other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as
a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with
this Section 14.2, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal
process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution
of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that
(i) the action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such action or proceeding is
improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereby consents
to service being made through the notice procedures set forth in Section 14.7 and agrees that service of any process, summons,
notice or document by registered mail (return receipt requested and first-class
postage prepaid) to the respective addresses set forth in Section 14.7 shall be effective service of process for any suit
or proceeding in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. EACH OF THE PARTIES KNOWINGLY,
INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.


 


(c)          In
no event shall the any party to this Agreement be liable hereunder for any punitive, incidental, consequential, exemplary, special
or indirect Losses, except for (i) Losses that were natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable result of the act that gave rise
to such Losses or (ii) Losses arising from any Action in which any Investor Indemnitee is held liable to any Person for such
Losses.


 




    	 	84	 



     


    

  


(d)          In
any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition
and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by any party
or its successors or assigns, the prevailing party in a final, non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other available
remedy.


 


14.3        Successors
and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon, the successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators of the parties (whether by merger,
consolidation, acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of the respective party or otherwise). No party hereto may
assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement by operation of Law or otherwise without the
prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that the Investor may assign its right hereunder to any of its Affiliates
upon providing prior notice of such assignment to the Company and Opco; provided that such assignment shall not relieve
the Investor of any of its obligations hereunder and the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions
of this Agreement.


 


14.4        No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided for
in Section 11, nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto
any rights, remedies, obligations or Liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, and no Person that is not a party to this
Agreement (including any partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, employee or other beneficial owner of any party, in
its own capacity as such or in bringing a derivative action on behalf of a party) shall have any standing as third-party
beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


14.5        No
Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Owners, Etc. No former, current or future director, officer, employee, incorporator,
Affiliate, stockholder, equityholder, controlling Person, portfolio company, manager, advisor, managing member, member, general
partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of the Investor (the “Non-Recourse Parties”) shall have
any Liability for any obligations of the Investor under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein or for any claim
based on, in respect of or by reason of the respective obligations of the Investor under this Agreement. Without limiting the
rights of any party against any other party hereto, in no event shall any party or any party’s Affiliates seek to enforce
this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse
Party (other than the Guarantors in accordance with the Guarantees). Each party hereby waives and releases all such Liability.
This waiver and release is a material inducement to each party’s entry into this Agreement.


 


14.6        Entire
Agreement. This Agreement and the other documents delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, including the
other Transaction Documents and the Guarantees, constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with
regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among

of Directors, (ii) at any special meeting of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share called for the purpose of electing the

Share. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the Trigger Date, no Primary Redeemable Preferred Director shall be subject to an
event that would require disclosure in the Company’s definitive proxy statement pursuant to Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K
promulgated by the SEC.


 


(b) For so long as the Redeemable Preferred
Share is outstanding, if the Company and/or the Operating Partnership fails for any reason (including, but not limited to, the
restrictions imposed by operation of Section 17-607 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act) to timely redeem all of the
Convertible Preferred Units that the holders thereof have elected to have redeemed in accordance with, and subject to the terms
of, the Limited Partnership Agreement for a period commencing ninety (90) days following such redemption election (the first day
following such period, the “Trigger Date”), then, from the Trigger Date until the date on which the Company

Redemption Satisfaction Date”), the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share shall have the right to elect by written
notice to the Company (the “Board Increase Election”) to increase the number of Directors then constituting
the Board of Directors by a number of directors that would result in the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share being entitled
to nominate and elect a majority of the members of the Board of Directors (each such Director and any Director who subsequently
replaces such Director in accordance with these Articles Supplementary, an “Additional Redeemable Preferred Director”
and, together with the Primary Redeemable Preferred Directors, the “Redeemable Preferred Directors”) and the holder
of the Redeemable Preferred Share, voting as a separate class, shall be entitled (subject to Section 6.1 of the Charter, which
requires that a majority of the Directors be Independent Directors) to nominate and elect such Additional Redeemable Preferred
Directors (by written or electronic consent of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share) immediately upon the Board Increase
Election without any further action required by the Company or any other Person (and thereafter (i) at each annual meeting for
the election of Directors, (ii) at any special meeting of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share called for the purpose of
electing the Additional Redeemable Preferred Directors or (iii) at any time by written or electronic consent of the holder of the

Preferred Director elected pursuant to this Section 6 shall occur for any reason (whether due to removal, death, resignation
or otherwise), then such vacancy may be filled only pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 6(a) and Section
6(b), as the case may be.


 


(d) Any Redeemable Preferred Director elected
pursuant to this Section 6 may be removed with or without cause only by the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share, and
the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share may remove any such Redeemable Preferred Director (i) at any annual meeting for the
election of Directors, (ii) at any special meeting of the Redeemable Preferred Director called for the purpose of removing the
Redeemable Preferred Director or (iii) at any time by written or electronic consent of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share.
Redeemable Preferred Directors may not be removed by the holder of any other class or series of Shares, other than the Redeemable
Preferred Share. Upon any such removal, the vacancy resulting from such removal may be filled only by the holder of the Redeemable
Preferred Share in accordance with the terms of Section 6(c).


 


(e) Each Redeemable Preferred Director will
hold office until the next annual meeting for the election of Directors (unless earlier replaced in accordance with this Section
6), and may be elected to an unlimited number of successive terms; provided, however, if the Redeemable Preferred
Share is redeemed pursuant to Section 4, the term of office of all Redeemable Preferred Directors shall terminate and the
number of Directors shall be reduced accordingly; provided, further, however, if any Additional Redeemable
Preferred Directors have been elected pursuant to Section 6(b) and a CPU Redemption Satisfaction Date occurs while the Redeemable
Preferred Share is outstanding, the term of office of such Additional Redeemable Preferred Directors shall terminate and the number
of Directors shall be reduced accordingly.

(f) Without limiting any other provision herein,
the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share is entitled to act by written or electronic consent with respect to any action or
vote to be taken with respect to which the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share is entitled to take action or vote, regardless
of whether a meeting has been called, by delivering such written or electronic consent to the Company, which written or electronic
consent is automatically effective without any further action required by the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share, the Company
or any other Person. Any such written or electronic consent shall be deemed delivered to the Company and shall be automatically
effective without any further action required by the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share, the Company or any other Person
if delivered to the Secretary of the Company and shall be deemed delivered: if by facsimile, when such transmission is confirmed;
if by email, upon the sending of such email; if by overnight courier, upon receipt of proof of delivery by such courier; if by
hand delivery, upon actual delivery; and if by certified or registered mail, upon return receipt. For the avoidance of doubt, any
written or electronic consent shall be effective without: (i) any obligation on the part of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred
Share to call a special meeting or any other meeting of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share, or any other meeting of the
stockholders of the Company, (ii) any required procedures whatsoever relating to any such meeting (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, the provisions set forth in the Bylaws relating to the place or calling of or notice, organization and conduct and quorum
with respect to any such meeting), or (iii) any obligation on the part of any Person to take any other action in order to render
the actions taken by such written or electronic consent immediately effective upon the delivery specified above (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, delivering any notice to any Person). Without the consent of at least one Primary Redeemable Preferred
Director, the Board of Directors shall not adopt any procedures applicable to the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share taking
any action pursuant to this Section 6 by written or electronic consent. Without limiting the foregoing, the holder of the
Redeemable Preferred Share shall be entitled to call a special meeting of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share at any time
with immediate effect, without notice to the Company or any other Person and without further action required by the holder of the
Redeemable Preferred Share, the Company or any other Person; provided that the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share shall notify
the Company of any action taken at any such special meeting within one (1) Business Day of such meeting.


 


(g) For so long as the Redeemable Preferred
Share is outstanding, each committee of the Board of Directors shall contain at least one (1) Redeemable Preferred Director selected
by the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share; provided, that, with respect to any appointment to the audit committee
of the Board of Directors (or any other committee of the Board of Directors which is required, pursuant to applicable rules of
the SEC or any national securities exchange on which any Shares are then listed, to be established), such Redeemable Preferred
Director so appointed must also be an Independent Director and shall meet all applicable requirements, with respect to independence
and otherwise, of the SEC and any national securities exchange on which any Shares are then listed; provided, further,
that this provision shall not prohibit more than one Redeemable Preferred Director being appointed to any committee of the Board
of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any committee of the Board of Directors formed with authority and jurisdiction over
the review or approval of transactions or other matters involving, in the reasonable judgment of the Independent Directors (excluding,
for this purpose, any Redeemable Preferred Director), a conflict of interest between the Company or one or more of its Subsidiaries,
on the one hand, and Brookfield or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, and which has powers limited exclusively to such review
or approval (a “Conflicts Committee”) need not include a Redeemable Preferred Director; provided, that
discussions, deliberations, decisions or actions involving the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Limited Partnership Agreement
or any other agreement entered into by Brookfield or any of its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Securities Purchase Agreement, including matters pertaining to the rights of Brookfield or any of its Affiliates under such
agreements, may be deemed by a majority of the Independent Directors on the Board of Directors (excluding, for this purpose, any
Redeemable Preferred Director) not to constitute such a conflict of interest. For so long as the Redeemable Preferred Share is
outstanding, the Company shall not make a general delegation of the powers of the Board of Directors to any committee thereof which
does not include as a member a Redeemable Preferred Director, other than to a Conflicts Committee in accordance with the terms
of this Section 6(g).

conditioned or delayed), in connection with the nomination and election of members to the Board of Directors for each annual meeting
or any special meeting called for that purpose, two (2) Independent Directors (who, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include
any Redeemable Preferred Director) to be recommended by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof for nomination to the Board
of Directors and actually nominated therefor by the Board of Directors.

Section 8. Corporate Opportunities. The
Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity
to participate in, any and all business opportunities that are presented to the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share or its
Affiliates (including, without limitation, any representative or Affiliate of such holder of Redeemable Preferred Share serving
on the Board of Directors or the board of directors or other governing body of any Affiliate of the Company) or any of such holder’s
or its Affiliates’ directors, Executive Officers, employees, agents, representatives, incorporators, stockholders, equityholders,
controlling persons, principals, managers, advisors, managing members, members, general partners, limited partners or portfolio
companies (collectively, the “Investor Parties”). Without limiting the foregoing renunciation, the Company on
behalf of itself and its Affiliates (a) acknowledges that the Investor Parties are or may be in the business of making investments
in, and have or may have investments in, other businesses similar to and that may compete with the businesses of the Company or
its Affiliates (“Competing Businesses”) and (b) agrees that the Investor Parties shall have the unfettered
right to make investments in or have relationships with Competing Businesses independent of their investments in the Company. By
virtue of an Investor Party holding Shares or any other Equity Interests of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or by having
persons designated by or affiliated with such Investor Party serving on or observing at meetings of any of the Board of Directors,
any committee thereof or otherwise, no Investor Party shall have any obligation to the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other
holder of Shares or other Equity Interests of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company to refrain from competing with the Company
or any of its Affiliates, making investments in or having relationships with Competing Businesses, or otherwise engaging in any
commercial activity and none of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other holder of Shares or other Equity Interests of the
Company or any Affiliate of the Company shall have any right with respect to any investment or activities undertaken by such Investor
Party. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Investor Party may engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures
of any nature or description, independently or with others, similar or dissimilar to the business of the Company or any of its
Affiliates, and none of the Company, any of its Affiliates or any other holder of Shares or other Equity Interests of the Company
or any Affiliate of the Company shall have any rights or expectancy by virtue of such Investor Parties’ relationships with
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, or otherwise in and to such independent ventures or the income or profits derived
therefrom; and the pursuit of any such ventures, even if such interest is in a Competing Business, shall not for any purpose be
deemed wrongful or improper. No Investor Party shall be obligated to present any particular investment or other opportunity to
the Company or its Affiliates even if such opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company or such Affiliates,
could be taken by the Company or such Affiliate, provided such opportunity shall not have been expressly offered to such person
in writing in his or her capacity as a director of the Company. Each Investor Party shall continue to have the right for its own
respective account or to recommend to others any such particular investment or other opportunity. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that a Redeemable Preferred Director who is also a director, officer or employee of an Investor Party acquires knowledge
of a potential transaction or other matter which may be a business opportunity for both the Company and such Investor Party, such
Redeemable Preferred Director shall act in a manner consistent with the following policy: A business opportunity offered to any
Redeemable Preferred Director who is also a director, officer or employee of an Investor Party shall belong to the Company only
if such opportunity is expressly offered to such Redeemable Preferred Director in writing in his or her capacity as a director
of the Company, and otherwise shall belong to such Investor Party. Without limiting the foregoing, no act or omission by an Investor
Party (other than a breach by a Redeemable Preferred Director of the policy set forth in the preceding sentence) for or on behalf
of itself or another Investor Party in and of itself shall be considered to be the usurpation of a corporate opportunity by reason
of such Investor Party being an equityholder of the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or being an officer or employee of
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company.


 


Section 9. Suspension Period.


 


(a) During any Suspension Period, the AS Suspended
Rights shall be suspended automatically and without further action required by the Company or any other Person.


 


(b) Upon the termination of such Suspension
Period, the AS Suspended Rights shall automatically be reinstated in full without further action required by the Company or any
other Person, provided that actions taken by the Company hereunder that would have required the approval of a Primary Redeemable
Preferred Director but for the application of the Suspension Period shall not be invalidated to the extent such actions cannot
be repudiated or reversed without significant harm, cost or expense to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or deemed
a default or other violation of these Articles Supplementary.


 


(c) For the avoidance of doubt, if a court of
competent jurisdiction determines, in a final and non-appealable judgment, that a Funding Failure has not occurred, without limiting
any other remedy that Brookfield, any of its Affiliates or any Class C Unit Holder may have pursuant to these Articles Supplementary
or the other Transaction Documents, and without duplication of any amounts paid by the Company or the Operating Partnership in
respect thereof pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents, Brookfield, its Affiliates and the Class C Unit Holders, as
applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Company actual damages incurred (which shall include consequential damages to
the extent they were the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable consequence of the actions taken by the Company with respect
to such election) arising from or in connection with the election of the Company to pursue its remedies under Section 11.6(b) of
the Securities Purchase Agreement.


 


(d) If a Funding Failure Final Determination
occurs and Brookfield shall not have consummated the applicable Subsequent Closing within ten (10) Business Days of such Funding
Failure Final Determination, then on the eleventh (11th) Business Day following such Funding Failure Final Determination,
the Company shall be entitled to redeem the Redeemable Preferred Share at par value, all of the rights of the Redeemable Preferred
Directors under Section 6(i) and Section 6(j) shall be terminated automatically without further action by the Company
or any other Person and the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share shall cause each of the Redeemable Preferred Directors to
resign from the Board of Directors.


 




    	 	14	 



     


    

 


(e) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding
any suspension of the approval rights of the Redeemable Preferred Directors set forth in Section 6(i) and Section 6(j)
pursuant to Section 9(a), each of the Redeemable Preferred Directors shall be entitled during the Suspension Period to continue
to serve as a Director and to the rights applicable to Directors generally (including, without limitation, indemnification and
limitation of liability) in the Charter, including these Articles Supplementary, or the Bylaws; provided, that the Redeemable
Preferred Directors shall not have a vote on any matter to the extent it would require the exercise of any AS Suspended Rights.


 


Section 10. Severability. If any rights,
voting powers, or other qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption or other terms and conditions of the Redeemable Preferred
Share set forth in the Charter, including these Articles Supplementary, are invalid, unlawful or incapable of being enforced by
reason of any rule of law or public policy, all other rights, voting powers or other qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption
or other terms and conditions of the Redeemable Preferred Share set forth in the Charter, including these Articles Supplementary,
which can be given effect without the invalid, unlawful or unenforceable provision thereof shall, nevertheless, remain in full
force and effect and no rights, voting powers, or other qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption or other terms and
conditions of the Redeemable Preferred Share herein set forth shall be deemed dependent upon any other provision thereof unless
so expressed therein.


 


Section 11. Status of Redeemable Preferred
Share. In the event the Redeemable Preferred Share is redeemed or repurchased by the Company, the share so redeemed or otherwise
repurchased shall become an authorized but unissued Preferred Share without further designation as to class or series, available
for future classification or reclassification by the Board of Directors and issuance by the Company.


 


Section 12. Transferability. The Redeemable
Preferred Share shall not be transferable, except to an Affiliate of Brookfield, so long as after giving effect to such transfer,
such Affiliate continues to be an Affiliate of Brookfield.


 


Section 13. Redeemable Preferred Share Subtitle
8 Opt-Out. Under a power contained in Section 3-802(c) of the Maryland General Corporation Law, the Company, by resolution
of the Board of Directors, prohibited the Company from electing to be subject to Section 3-804 of the Maryland General Corporation
Law with respect to any Redeemable Preferred Director (e.g., with respect to the removal of any Redeemable Preferred Director,
with respect to the number of Redeemable Preferred Directors and with respect to any vacancy in the office of a Redeemable Preferred
Director) (the “Preferred Share Opt-Out”). The resolution provides that the foregoing prohibition may not be
amended, altered or repealed unless the amendment, alteration or repeal of such prohibition is approved by the holder of the Redeemable
Preferred Share. The Preferred Share Opt-Out has been approved by the Board of Directors in the manner and by the vote required
by law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Preferred Share Opt-Out shall in no manner alter, amend or rescind the election made by
the Company to be subject to Section 3-804(c) of the Maryland General Corporation Law pursuant to the Initial Articles Supplementary
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).


 


THIRD: The Redeemable Preferred Share
has been classified and designated by the Board of Directors under the authority contained in the Charter.


 


FOURTH: These Articles Supplementary
have been approved by the Board of Directors in the manner and by the vote required by law.


 


FIFTH: The undersigned officer of the
Company acknowledges these Articles Supplementary to be the corporate act of the Company and, as to all matters or facts required
to be verified under oath, the undersigned acknowledges that, to the best of such officer’s knowledge, information and belief,
these matters and facts are true in all material respects and that this statement is made under the penalties of perjury.

engage in such other ancillary activities as shall be necessary or desirable to effectuate the foregoing purposes;


 




    	 	29	 



     


    

 


provided, however, that such business shall
be limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the General Partner and each Brookfield REIT Holder at all times each
to be classified as a REIT, unless each of the General Partner and all Brookfield REIT Holders determine not to qualify as a REIT
or ceases to qualify as a REIT for any reason not related to the business conducted by the Partnership.


 


(b)          The
Partnership shall have all powers necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes enumerated.


 


3.2          Powers



 


(a)          Subject
to the Class C Rights, the Partnership is empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary, appropriate, proper, advisable,
incidental to or convenient for the furtherance and accomplishment of the purposes and business described herein and for the protection
and benefit of the Partnership including full power and authority to enter into, perform, and carry out contracts of any kind,
to borrow money and to issue evidences of indebtedness, whether or not secured by mortgage, trust deed, pledge or other Lien, and,
directly or indirectly, to acquire, own, improve, develop and construct real property, and lease, sell, transfer and dispose of
real property; provided, however, that, except pursuant to the exercise of the Special General Partner Rights by
the Special General Partner, the Partnership shall not take, or refrain from taking, any action which, in the judgment of the General
Partner, in its reasonable, good faith discretion,


 


(i)           could
adversely affect the ability of the General Partner or any Brookfield REIT Holder (assuming, with respect to any consideration
of the foregoing pursuant to this Agreement, each such Brookfield REIT Holder holds no assets other than Partnership Units) to
continue to qualify as a REIT, unless the General Partner and all Brookfield REIT Holders otherwise cease to qualify as a REIT;


 


(ii)          could
subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code; or


 


(iii)         could
violate any law or regulation of any governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the General Partner or its securities,
unless such action (or inaction) shall have been specifically consented to by the General Partner in writing.


 


(b)          Subject
to the Class C Rights, the General Partner also is empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary, appropriate or advisable
to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for the purposes of Section 7704
of the Code, including but not limited to imposing restrictions on exchanges of Partnership Units.


 


(c)          The
General Partner acknowledges that, as of the date hereof, the Initial Preferred LP or certain direct or indirect owners of the
Initial Preferred LP are qualified or intend to qualify as a REIT as defined in Section 856 of the Code. Accordingly, the General
Partner shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) manage and operate the Partnership and its Subsidiaries in a manner such that
the Partnership meets the requirements contained in Sections 856(c)(2), (3) and (4) of the Code with respect to its assets and
income, assuming for this purpose that the Partnership were a REIT and treating any Subsidiary treated as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes as a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(l) of the Code as if the Partners (and their direct and indirect
investors) were permitted to make a timely taxable REIT subsidiary election with respect to such corporation, and (ii) cause the
Partnership to avoid (or, to the extent avoidance is not reasonably possible, minimize) any “income from foreclosure property”
within the meaning of Section 857(b)(4) of the Code and any “net income derived from prohibited transactions” within
the meaning of Section 857(b)(6) of the Code (determined as if the Partnership were a REIT).

(a)          Subject
to the Class C Rights:


 


(i)           The
sums of money required to finance the business and affairs of the Partnership shall be derived from the Capital Contributions made

the Partnership, including rents and distributions directly or indirectly received by the Partnership from any Subsidiary.


 


(ii)          The
Initial Preferred LP has agreed subject to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement to purchase additional Class C Units

General Partner agrees to cause the Partnership to issue additional Class C Units upon the Initial Preferred LP completing its
obligations with respect to the Follow-On Fundings as set forth in the Purchase Agreement and subject to the terms, and on the

(iv)         If
additional financing is needed from sources other than as set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i)  and (ii) for any reason, the

the benefit of, the Partnership.


 


(b)          Subject
to the Class C Rights and without limiting the obligations of the Initial Preferred LP with respect to the Follow-On Fundings
as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the General Partner shall not issue any Securities, other than (but in all cases subject
to the Class C Rights) to all holders of Common Stock, unless the General Partner shall:


 




    	 	32	 



     


    

 


(i)           in
the case of debt securities, lend to the Partnership the proceeds of or consideration received for such Securities on the same
terms and conditions, including interest rate and repayment schedule, as shall be applicable with respect to or incurred in connection
with the issuance of such Securities and the proceeds of, or consideration received from, any subsequent exercise, exchange or
conversion thereof (if applicable);


 


(ii)          in
the case of Equity Securities senior or junior to the Common Stock as to dividends and distributions on liquidation, contribute
to the Partnership the proceeds of or consideration (including any property or other non-cash assets) received for such Equity
Securities and the proceeds of, or consideration received from, any subsequent exercise, exchange or conversion thereof (if applicable),
and receive from the Partnership, interests in the Partnership in consideration therefor with the same terms and conditions, including
dividend, dividend priority and liquidation preference, as are applicable to such Equity Securities; and


 


(iii)         in
the case of Common Stock or other Equity Securities on a parity with the Common Stock as to dividends and other distributions on
liquidation (including Common Stock or other Securities granted as a stock award to directors and officers of the General Partner
or directors, officers or employees of its Affiliates in consideration for services or future services, and Common Stock issued
pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or issued to enable the General Partner to make distributions to satisfy the REIT Requirements),
contribute to the Partnership the proceeds of or consideration (including any property or other non-cash assets, including services)
received for such Securities and the proceeds of, or consideration received from, any subsequent exercise, exchange or conversion
thereof (if applicable), and receive from the Partnership a number of additional Partnership Units in consideration therefor equal
to the product of


 


(A)         the
number of shares of Common Stock or other Equity Securities issued by the General Partner, multiplied by


 


(B)         a
fraction the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the Exchange Factor in effect on the date of such contribution.


 


4.3          Issuance
of Additional Partnership Interests; Admission of Additional Limited Partners Upon Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests


 


(a)          In
addition to any Partnership Interests issuable by the Partnership pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 12.2, and subject in
all cases to the Class C Rights, the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests
(or options therefor) in the form of Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more series or classes, or in one
or more series of any such class senior, on a parity with, or junior to the Partnership Units to any Persons at any time or from
time to time, on such terms and conditions, as the General Partner shall establish in each case in its sole and absolute discretion
subject to Delaware law, including (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to
each class or series of Partnership Interests, (ii) the right of each class or series of Partnership Interests to share in
Partnership distributions, and (iii) the rights of each class or series of Partnership Interest upon dissolution and liquidation
of the Partnership; provided, however, that, no such Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General
Partner unless either (A) the Partnership Interests are issued in connection with the grant, award, or issuance of Common
Stock or other equity interests in the General Partner having designations, preferences and other rights such that the economic
interests attributable to such Common Stock or other equity interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences
and other rights (except voting rights) of the Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner in accordance with this Section 4.3(a) 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, without any approval being required from any Limited Partner or any other
Person; provided further, however, that such issuance would not cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership
to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Section 2510.3-101 of the regulations of the United States Department
of Labor, as modified by 3(42) of ERISA.


 




    	 	33	 



     


    

 


(b)          Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 4.3(a), Section 12.2, Section 14.1 and the Class C Rights, the General Partner may
take such steps as it, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary or appropriate to admit any Person as a Limited Partner
of the Partnership or to issue any Partnership Interests, including amending the Certificate, Exhibit A or any other
provision of this Agreement.


 


(c)          For
the avoidance of doubt, the Class C Units are and shall at all times be senior to any other Partnership Interests in the Company
with respect to priority in payment of Distributions and in the distribution of assets in the case of a Fundamental Sale Transaction,
or in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution
of the assets of the Company among its equityholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs.


 


(d)          If
the General Partner (i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding shares of Common Stock in shares of Common Stock or makes
a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Common Stock in Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common
Stock, or (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the General Partner
shall cause the Partnership to issue additional GP Units and OP Units to, or redeem GP Units and OP Units from, all Holders of
GP Units and OP Units and the General Partner, respectively, in each case pro rata in accordance with their Percentage Interests
and for no consideration, such that, following such issuance or redemptions of OP and/or GP Units, (x) the sum of the number of
GP Units and OP Units held by the General Partner equals the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately
following the occurrence of any event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence, and (y) the relative Percentage
Interests of the General Partner and the Partners of the Partnership following such event is the same as their relative Percentage
Interests prior to such event.


 


4.4          Contribution
of Proceeds of Issuance of Common Stock


 


In connection with any offering, grant,
award, or issuance of Common Stock or securities, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities pursuant
to Section 4.2, the General Partner shall make aggregate Capital Contributions to the Partnership of the proceeds raised in
connection with such offering, grant, award, or issuance, including any property issued to the General Partner pursuant to a merger
or contribution agreement in exchange for Common Stock or Convertible Securities; provided, however, that if the
proceeds actually received by the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such offering, grant, award, or issuance
as a result of any underwriter’s discount, commission, or fee or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such
offering, grant, award, or issuance, then the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount
equal to the sum of (i) the net proceeds of such issuance plus (ii) an intangible asset in an amount equal to the capitalized
costs of the General Partner relating to such issuance of Common Stock. Upon any such Capital Contribution by the General Partner,
the Capital Account of the General Partner shall be increased by the amount of its Capital Contribution as described in the previous
sentence.


 




    	 	34	 



     


    

 


4.5          Repurchase
of Common Stock; Shares-In-Trust


 


(a)          If
the General Partner shall, subject to the Class C Rights, elect to purchase from its stockholders Common Stock for the purpose
of delivering such Common Stock to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment plan or share repurchase program adopted
by the General Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner, or for any other purpose, the purchase
price paid by the General Partner for such Common Stock and any other expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with
such purchase shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be reimbursed to the General Partner, subject to the condition
that:


 


(i)           if
such Common Stock subsequently is to be sold by the General Partner, the General Partner shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds
received by the General Partner from the sale of such Common Stock (provided that an exchange of Common Stock for Partnership Units
pursuant to Section 8.6 of this Agreement would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and


 


(ii)          if
such Common Stock is not re-transferred by the General Partner within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, the General
Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel a number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner (as applicable) equal to
the product of


 


(A)         the
number of shares of such Common Stock, multiplied by


 


(B)         a
fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the Exchange Factor in effect on the date of such cancellation.


 


(b)          If
the General Partner purchases shares of Common Stock from the Trust (as from time to time defined in the Charter), in accordance
with all applicable Class C Rights, the Partnership will purchase from the General Partner a number of Partnership Units,
at a price per Partnership Unit equal to the price per share of Common Stock paid by the General Partner, equal to the product
of


 


(i)           the
number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the General Partner from the Trust, multiplied by


 


(ii)          a
fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the Exchange Factor in effect on the date of such purchase.


 




    	 	35	 



     


    

 


4.6          No
Third-Party Beneficiary


 


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


 


4.7          No
Interest; No Return


 


(a)          Except
as provided herein, no Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s Capital Account.


 


(b)          Except
as provided herein or by law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the return of its Capital Contribution from
the Partnership.


 


4.8          Preemptive
Rights.


 


Other than the preemptive rights of the
Class C Unit Holders as set forth in Article 16 and any preemptive rights that may be granted pursuant to Section 4.3 hereof,
no Person shall have any preemptive or other similar right with respect to


 


(a)          additional
Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership; or


 


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

Available for Distribution. Subject to the provisions of Sections ‎5.1(b),
‎5.1(c), 5.2, ‎5.3,
‎5.4, ‎12.2(c),
‎13.2 and 16.5(a)(v), at such times as the General Partner
shall determine, but in any event on [[●], 2017]3
and thereafter on the last Business Day of each Quarter (each, a “Distribution Date,” and if on
the last Business Day of a Quarter, a “Quarterly Distribution Date”) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership
to distribute out of Available Cash to Partners on the applicable Partnership Record Date (which, for the purposes of this Section
5.1, shall be the Distribution Date) in the following order of priority:


 


(i)           First,
if a Redemption Date has occurred, pro rata in accordance with their respective Full Redemption Amounts, amounts payable in respect
of such Full Redemption Amounts to each Holder of Class C Units (or, if a Nonredemption Event occurs with respect to a redemption
pursuant to Section 8.6 by a holder of OP Units received upon exercise of its right to convert Class C Deferred Distribution Units
into OP Units pursuant to Section 16.5(e), any such holder of OP Units) entitled to payments with respect thereto until all such
Class C Unit Holders have received the Full Redemption Amount.


 


 


 






3 Note to Draft: Last Business Day of the quarter
in which the Initial Closing occurs.




    	 	36	 



     


    

 


(ii)          Second,
to each Holder of Class C Units, pro rata in accordance with their respective Liquidation Preferences, an amount equal to the
entire Class C Cash Distribution Amounts due and not previously paid with respect to such Holder’s Class C Units until paid
in full.


 


(iii)         Third,
subject to the Class C Rights, an amount, determined by the General Partner (including after creation of appropriate operating
and capital reserves as reasonably necessary for the continued operations of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Properties owned,
operated and leased by them), to Holders of GP Units and OP Units, in accordance with each such Holder’s respective Percentage
Interest.


 


(b)          Tax
Distributions.


 


(i)           Subject
to the provisions of Section 5.2, Sections 5.3, 5.4, 12.2(c) and 13.2, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership on each
Quarterly Distribution Date to make Tax Distributions out of Available Cash to each Holder of Class C Units or Class C Tax Amount
Entitled OP Units in an amount equal to any Quarterly Tax Distribution plus any Catch-Up Tax Distribution for such Class C Units
or Class C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units.


 


(ii)          A
“Quarterly Tax Distribution” means the amount, if any, necessary to cause, immediately after a Quarterly Distribution
Date, the sum of all distributions out of Available Cash to a Holder of Class C Units or Class C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units
pursuant to Section 5.1(a) and this Section 5.1(b) made on or before such Quarterly Distribution Date during a taxable year to
equal the product of (a) the General Partner’s reasonable estimate of the Class C Tax Amount for such Class C Units or Class
C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units for such year, and (b) a fraction equal to (x) the number of Quarterly Distribution Dates for such
year elapsed following such Quarterly Distribution Date, divided by (y) four (4).


 


(iii)         A
“Catch-Up Tax Distribution” means the amount, if any, by which the aggregate Class C Tax Amount for a Class C Unit
or Class C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units (including for the Class C Units in respect of which such Class C Tax Amount Entitled
OP Units were received) for all prior years, as reflected on the tax returns of the Company, exceeds the aggregate amount of cash
distributions made with respect to such Class C Unit or Class C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units (including with respect to the Class
C Units in respect of which such Class C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units were received) during all prior years.


 


(iv)         In
no event shall the Company be required to make any Regular Tax Distribution with respect to a Class C Unit under this Section
5.1(b) in an amount that exceeds the Class C Cash Distribution Amount to which the Holder of such Class C Unit is entitled pursuant
to Section 5.1(a). Regular Tax Distributions made pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be treated (without duplication) as distributions
of the Class C Cash Distribution Amount for purposes of this Agreement. Tax Distributions to Class C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units
made pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall be treated (without duplication) as an advance against distributions to which such
Class C Tax Amount Entitled OP Units are entitled pursuant to Section 5.1(a).


 


(c)          Mandatory
Redemption Upon Fundamental Sale Transaction.


 


(i)           Upon
the consummation of any Fundamental Sale Transaction prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Holders
of Class C Units shall be entitled to receive, prior to and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds
of the Company to the holders of any other Partnership Units by reason of their ownership thereof, until a Full Redemption has
occurred with respect to the applicable amount due as set forth below:


 




    	 	37	 



     


    

 


(A)         
in the case of a Fundamental Sale Transaction consummated on or prior to February 27, 2019, an amount per Class C Unit in cash
equal to such Class C Unit’s pro rata share (determined based on the respective Liquidation Preferences of all Class C Units)
of an amount equal to (I) $800,000,000 less (II) the sum of (i) the difference between (A) $400,000,000 and (B) the Stated Value
of all outstanding Class C Units and (ii) all Class C Cash Distribution Amounts actually paid to the Holders of Class C Units (other
than PIK Distributions) prior to such date,


 


(B)         
in the case of a Fundamental Sale Transaction consummated after February 27, 2019 and prior to the date that is fifty-seven (57)
months and one day after the date of this Agreement, an amount per Class C Unit in cash equal to (x) two times the Stated Value
of such Class C Unit, less (y) all Class C Cash Distribution Amounts actually paid (other than PIK Distributions) on such Class
C Units prior to such date, and


 


(C)         
in the case of a Fundamental Sale Transaction consummated on or after the date that is fifty-seven (57) months and one day after
the date of this Agreement and prior to the date that is sixty (60) months after the date of this Agreement, an amount per Class
C Unit in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Class C Unit plus the Make Whole Premium for such Class C Unit.


 


(ii)          In
the event of a Fundamental Sale Transaction, following completion of the distributions required by this part (c) of this Section 5.1,
so long as no Nonredemption Event has occurred and no amounts with respect to indemnity payable hereunder or Reimbursable Amounts
remain unpaid, subject to there being Legally Available Funds available therefor, the holders of the GP Units and other OP Units
shall share in all remaining assets of the Company.


 


(iii)         The
Company shall provide written notice of any Fundamental Sale Transaction to each record Holder not less than fifteen (15) days
prior to the consummation date thereof. The Company shall set forth in that notice the date on which it shall make payment to the
Class C Unit Holders of the amount required by the first sentence of paragraph (i) of this Section 5.1(c), which date shall be
no more than ten (10) Business Days following consummation of such Fundamental Sale Transaction. Such date, or if the Company shall
fail to issue the above notice with respect to a Fundamental Sale Transaction, the date that is ten (10) days following a Fundamental
Sale Transaction, shall be the designated “Redemption Date” with respect to a Fundamental Sale Transaction. In lieu
of submitting its Class C Units for redemption upon receipt of such notice, a Holder of Class C Units shall have the right
but not the obligation to instead submit such Class C Units for conversion pursuant to Section 16.4 and to then exercise its OP
Redemption Right with respect to any OP Units issued upon such conversion, which may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner, be satisfied by paying either the Cash Amount or the Common Stock Amount (but not a combination of both, except
as set forth in Section 8.6(b)), pursuant to Section 8.6.


 




    	 	38	 



     


    

 


(d)          In
addition to the Class C Cash Distribution Amount and subject to Section 15.14, with respect to each Class C Unit and as of any
Distribution Date, each Holder of Class C Units shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall deliver, in the form of additional
Class C Units, distributions in an amount accrued at the rate of 5.0% per annum on such Class C Unit’s Liquidation Preference,
accrued on the basis of twelve (12) thirty (30)-day months and a three hundred sixty (360)-day year compounding quarterly commencing
on the Issue Date for such Class C Unit and payable on each Distribution Date (such amount, the “PIK Distribution Amount”
and such distributions, the “PIK Distributions”). The number of Class C Units, which for the avoidance of doubt,
may include a fraction of a Class C Unit, delivered in respect of the PIK Distribution Amount on any Distribution Date shall be
equal to the number obtained by dividing the PIK Distribution Amount by the Unit Price. Upon
the occurrence of a Nonredemption Event, the accrual rate for purposes of determining the PIK Distribution Amount shall increase,
beginning on the date that is ninety (90) days after the delivery by a Class C Unit Holder of a Notice of Redemption in respect
of such Nonredemption Event, and through the first Distribution Date thereafter, from a per annum rate of 5.0% to a per annum rate
of 7.5% compounding quarterly, and shall further increase as of the day immediately following each subsequent Distribution Date,
beginning on the date immediately after such first Distribution Date, by 1.25% per annum for the next four quarterly periods thereafter,
up to a maximum per annum rate of 12.5%, accruing on each Class C Unit set forth in such Notice of Redemption that remains outstanding
until a Full Redemption has occurred.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, in no event will any Partner receive or be entitled to receive any distributions or other amounts
from the Company or any Subsidiary after a Fundamental Sale Transaction, Material Breach or REIT Event has occurred until the Class
C Unit Holders have received all sums due them hereunder including the Full Redemption Amount and any amounts payable with respect
to indemnity or Reimbursable Amounts.


 


(f)          In
no event may any Partner receive a distribution pursuant to this Section 5.1 with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner

(g)          The
Special General Partner is not entitled to any distributions in respect of the Special General Partner Interest pursuant to this

as a REIT


 


(a)          Notwithstanding

(i)           satisfy
the REIT Requirements, and


 


(ii)          avoid
any federal income or excise tax liability;


 


provided, however, that the General Partner
shall not be bound to comply with this covenant to the extent such distributions would


 




    	 	39	 



     


    

 


(i)           violate
applicable Delaware law, or


 


(ii)          contravene
the terms of any Loans or other types of debt obligations to which the Partnership may be subject in conjunction with borrowed
funds.


 


(b)          If
the Partnership is unable to distribute sufficient amounts to the General Partner as described in Section 5.2(a) for a taxable

limited distributions to the General Partner in priority to the distributions set forth in Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b)
in the minimum amount required to distribute sufficient amounts to the General Partner as described in Section 5.2(a), determined
taking into account all allocations pursuant to Exhibit B and other U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from all
distributions made on such Distribution Date; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, the General Partner shall not be
allowed to make any distributions pursuant to this Section (b)5.2(b) in priority to the distributions required by Section 5.1(c),
Section 13.2, or Section 16.5. Amounts paid pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) shall be treated (without duplication) as advances
against distributions to which the General Partner is entitled under Section 5.1(a) for purposes of this Agreement.

similar tax liability or obligation to which the Partnership may be subject as a result of any act or status of any Partner or
the Special General Partner or to which the Partnership becomes subject with respect to any Partnership Unit, the Partnership shall
have the right to withhold amounts distributable pursuant to this Article 5 to such Partner or with respect to such Partnership
Units, to the extent of the amount of such withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation pursuant to the provisions
contained in Section 10.5, and the amount of any withholding shall reduce the right of such Partner to future distribution
to the extent provided in Section 10.5.


 


5.4          Additional
Partnership Interests


 


Subject to the Class C Rights, if the Partnership
issues Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.3, the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.1

priority of such Partnership Interests and corresponding amendments shall be made to the provisions of Exhibit B.

hereof (including the Class C Rights) to reflect the terms of the issuance of such Partnership Interests, including making preferential

in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.


 


7.3          Reimbursement
of the General Partner


 


(a)          Except
as provided in this Section 7.3 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6 regarding

(ii)          Such
reimbursement shall be in addition to any reimbursement made as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof.


 


(iii)         The
General Partner (and, during the Special General Partner Rights Period, the Special General Partner) shall determine in good faith
the amount of expenses incurred by it related to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership. If certain
expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other entities (including the General Partner (and, during the Special
General Partner Rights Period, the Special General Partner)), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other

Partner, as applicable, shall be reimbursed for such expenses.

(a)          (i)          To
the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law or as provided herein, the Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against
any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other
legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits
or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, “Claims”), that relate to the
operations of the Partnership or the General Partner as set forth in this Agreement, in which such Indemnitee may be involved,
or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, so long as (A) the course of conduct which gave rise to the Claim
was taken, in the reasonable determination of the Indemnitee made in good faith, in the best interests of the Partnership or the
General Partner, (B) such Claim was not the result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee, (C) the Indemnitee
(if other than the General Partner or the Special General Partner) was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Partnership
and (D) such indemnification is not satisfied or recoverable from the assets of the Stockholders of the General Partner. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Indemnitee (other than the General Partner or the Special General Partner) shall be indemnified for any Claim
arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (1) there has been a successful adjudication
on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to such Indemnitee, (2) such allegations have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to such Indemnitee, or (3) a court of competent
jurisdiction approves a settlement of such allegations against such Indemnitee and finds in a final, nonappealable decision that
indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification
has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which
the Common Stock was offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities law.


 




    	 	48	 



     


    

 


(ii)          Without
limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty (except a guaranty
by a limited partner of nonrecourse indebtedness of the Partnership or as otherwise provided in any such loan guaranty), contractual
obligation for any indebtedness or other obligation or otherwise for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the
Partnership (including any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject
to), and, subject to the Class C Rights, 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 7.6 in favor of any Indemnitee
having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness.


 


(iii)         Any
indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General
Partner, Special General Partner nor any other Partner (including any Class C Unit Holder) shall have any obligation to contribute
to the capital of the Partnership, or otherwise provide funds, to enable the Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.6.


 


(b)          Reasonable
expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of
the final disposition of any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
made or threatened against an Indemnitee 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 7.6 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 7.6 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other
Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue
as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which
such Indemnities are indemnified.


 


(d)          Subject
to the Class C Rights, the Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the
Indemnities 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.


 


(e)          For
purposes of this Section 7.6, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an
employee benefit plan whenever the performance by such Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise
involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee
with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.6.
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 any of the Partners (other than the General Partner) 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 7.6 because the Indemnitee had an interest
in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of
this Agreement.


 


(h)          (i)          The
provisions of this Section 7.6 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators
and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.


 


(ii)          Any
amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any
way affect the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.6, as in effect immediately prior to such
amendment, modification, or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior
to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.


 


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


 


(j)          In
addition to, but without duplication of, the remedies available under the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6, the Company
shall indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold harmless the Class C Unit Holders for, from and against any and all damages of any
kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against them, in any way by any third party relating
to or arising out of: (i) enforcing the Class C Unit Holders’ rights or remedies under this Agreement, or (ii) any acts or
omissions of the Class C Unit Holders (directly or through Affiliates) to the extent such acts or omissions are taken or made in
accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that neither any Class C Unit Holder, nor any of its Affiliates
shall have the right to be indemnified under this Section 7.6(j) for such Class C Unit Holder or its Affiliates’ own gross
negligence, violation of law, violation of this Agreement, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct and provided further
that no Class C Unit Holder Indemnitee shall be entitled to be compensated pursuant to this Section 7.6(j) if such Holder is entitled
to indemnification in respect of the same loss pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Purchase Agreement. For purposes of this Section
7.6(j), the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be an Affiliate of a Class C Unit Holder. The provisions of and
undertakings and indemnification set forth in this subsection shall survive the repayment in full of all sums otherwise due the
Class C Unit Holders under this Agreement or in respect of their interest, the transfer of the entirety of the Class C Unit Holders’
Partnership Interests to unaffiliated third parties, and the termination of this Agreement or liquidation of the Company.

(k)          All
obligations in this agreement to indemnify, defend, or hold harmless the Class C Unit Holders shall survive the Transfer or redemption
of any Class C Unit Holder’s ownership of Class C Units.


 


(l)           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense for which the General Partner is obligated to indemnify the Partnership under any other agreement
between the General Partner and the Partnership.

Limited Partners and the Special General Partner expressly acknowledge that if any conflict in the fiduciary duties owed by the

Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by the Limited
Partners or the Special General Partner in connection with any such violation.


 


(e)          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 General Partner’s, the Special General Partner’s or the Initial Preferred LP’s

    	 	56	 



     


    

 


(i)           the

8.6          OP
Unit Redemption Rights


 


(a)          Subject
to Sections 8.6(b) and 8.6(c) hereof, each Limited Partner (a) holding OP Units issued pursuant to Article 4 hereof (in which case
the rights provided in this Section 8.6 shall only be exercisable after the first (1st) anniversary date of the issuance of any
such OP Unit or such other date as may be mutually agreed upon by the General Partner and a Limited Partner), or (b) holding OP
Units issued upon conversion of Class C Units or payment of the Class C Deferred Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 16.5(e)
hereof, shall have the right (the “OP Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem on a Specified
Redemption Date all or a portion of the OP Units held by such Limited Partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of
the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. The OP Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered
to the Partnership by the Limited Partner who is exercising the OP Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Partner”);
provided, however, that the Partnership shall not be obligated to satisfy the redemption obligations related to such
OP Redemption Right if the General Partner elects to purchase the OP Units subject to the Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section
8.6(b). The Redeeming Partner shall have no right, with respect to any OP Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid
on or after the Specified Redemption Date. The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner
pursuant to this Section 8.6, and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall
be bound by the exercise of such rights by such Assignee. In connection with any exercise of such rights by an Assignee on behalf
of a Limited Partner, the Cash Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.


 




    	 	57	 



     


    

 


(b)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 8.6(a) and subject to the provisions of 16.5(c)(iii), upon an election by a Limited Partner to exercise
the OP Redemption Right, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to assume directly and satisfy the
redemption obligations related to such exercise by paying to the Redeeming Partner either the Cash Amount or the Common Stock Amount
(but not a combination of both, except as set forth below in this Section 8.6(b)), as the General Partner determines in its sole
and absolute discretion, but as specified by the General Partner in its notification described below in this Section 8.6(b), whereupon
the General Partner shall acquire the OP Units offered for redemption by the Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes
of this Agreement as the owner of such OP Units. If the General Partner shall elect to exercise its right to purchase OP Units
under this Section 8.6(b) with respect to a Notice of Redemption, it shall so notify the Redeeming Partner (which notification
shall specify whether the General Partner has elected to pay the Cash Amount or the Common Stock Amount (or a combination of both,
to the extent allowed by this Section 8.6(b)) within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by it of such Notice of Redemption.
Unless the General Partner shall exercise its right to purchase OP Units from the Redeeming Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6(b),
the General Partner shall not have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or the Partnership with respect to the Redeeming Partner’s
exercise of the OP Redemption Right. In the event the General Partner shall exercise its right to purchase OP Units with respect
to the exercise of a OP Redemption Right in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.6(b), the Partnership
shall have no obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner’s exercise of
such OP Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership, and the General Partner shall treat the transaction
between the General Partner and the Redeeming Partner, for federal income tax purposes, as a sale of the Redeeming Partner’s
OP Units to the General Partner. Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably
require in connection with the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the OP Redemption Right. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, with respect to any exercise of the OP Redemption Right, if the General Partner has elected to pay the Common Stock
Amount and the payment of the Common Stock Amount on the Specified Redemption Date would result in a Redeeming Partner owning 49.9%
or more of the Common Stock then outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock in connection with the
payment of such Common Stock Amount, such Redeeming Partner shall receive the Common Stock Amount with respect to OP Units redeemed
up to such 49.9% ownership threshold and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock to which it is otherwise entitled above such 49.9%
ownership threshold (such shares, the “Over-Threshold Shares”), such Redeeming Partner shall, at its option
(i) be paid the Cash Amount in respect of the OP Units submitted for redemption corresponding to such Over-Threshold Shares or
(ii) retain the number of OP Units corresponding to such Over-Threshold Shares; provided, however any such retained OP Units
shall thereafter be redeemable for the Common Stock Amount by the General Partner within five (5) Business Days after delivery
of a written notice to such Holder of retained OP Units.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 8.6(b) and Section 8.6(b), a Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the OP Redemption Right pursuant
to Section 8.6(a) if the delivery of Common Stock to such Partner on the Specified Redemption Date by the General Partner pursuant
to Section 8.6(b), after giving effect to the last sentence thereof, (regardless of whether or not the General Partner would in
fact exercise its rights under Section 8.6(b)) would be prohibited under the Charter or prohibited under applicable federal or
state securities laws or regulations.


 


(d)          If,
pursuant to Section 8.6(b), the General Partner elects to pay the Redeeming Partner Common Stock in lieu of the Cash Amount, the
total number of shares of Common Stock to be paid to the Redeeming Partner in exchange for the Redeeming Partner’s OP Units
shall be the applicable Common Stock Amount. If this amount is not a whole number of shares of Common Stock, the Redeeming Partner
shall be paid (i) that number of shares of Common Stock which equals the nearest whole number less than such amount plus (ii) an
amount of cash representing the per share fair market value on the Specified Redemption Date as determined in good faith by the
Board of the remaining fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be payable to the Redeeming Partner.


 




    	 	58	 



     


    

 


(e)          All
OP Units delivered for redemption shall be delivered to the General Partner or the Company, as the case may be, free and clear
of all Liens and encumbrances other than restrictions under applicable securities laws and as set forth herein, and notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to acquire
OP Units which are or may be subject to Liens other than restrictions under applicable securities laws and as set forth herein,
subject to the provisions of Section 8.6(b).


 


(f)          Upon
redemption of any OP Units for shares of Common Stock, the General Partner shall promptly issue or cause to be issued and cause
to be delivered to all Holders receiving Common Stock in lieu of the Cash Amount such Common Stock, subject to the provisions of
Section 8.6(b).


 


(g)          Subject
to the Class C Rights, in the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 4.2(a) hereof,
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 (including setting forth any restrictions on the exercise of the OP Redemption Right with respect
to such Partnership Interests).


 


(h)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary
or appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal,
state or local law that apply upon a Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the OP Redemption Right. If a Redeeming Partner believes
that it is exempt from such withholding upon the exercise of the OP Redemption Right, such Partner must furnish the General Partner
with an appropriate affidavit pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code and any other documentation reasonably requested by the General
Partner. If the Partnership or the General Partner is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount upon
a Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the OP Redemption Right and if the OP Redemption Amount equals or exceeds the amount to
be withheld, the amount withheld shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in redemption of its OP Units. If, however,
the OP Redemption Amount is less than the amount to be withheld, the Redeeming Partner shall not receive any portion of the OP
Redemption Amount, the OP Redemption Amount shall be treated as an amount received by such Partner in redemption of its OP Units,
and the Partner shall contribute the excess of the amount to be withheld over the OP Redemption Amount to the Partnership before
the Partnership is required to pay over such excess to a taxing authority.


 


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

reasonable efforts to furnish, within ninety (90) days of the close of each taxable year, the estimated tax information reasonably

Partner shall, in any event, provide final IRS Schedule K-1s no later than April 30 after the end of each taxable year of the Partnership,
and any other necessary tax reporting information required by the Partners for the preparation of their respective federal, state

Elections


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available
election pursuant to the Code.


 


(b)          The
General Partner shall elect a permissible method (which need not be the same method for each item or property) of eliminating the
disparity between the Gross Asset Value and the tax basis for each item of property contributed to the Partnership or to a Subsidiary
of the Partnership pursuant to the Regulations promulgated under the provisions of Section 704(c) of the Code.


 


(c)          The
General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any tax election it makes, including the election under Section 754

best interests of the Partners.


 


(d)          The
Partners, intending to be legally bound, hereby authorize the Partnership to make an election (the “Safe Harbor Election”)
to have the “liquidation value” safe harbor provided in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(1) and
the Proposed Revenue Procedure set forth in IRS Notice 2005-43, as such safe harbor may be modified when such proposed guidance
is issued in final form or as amended by subsequently issued guidance (the “Safe Harbor”), apply to any interest
in the Partnership transferred to a service provider while the Safe Harbor Election remains effective, to the extent such interest
meets the Safe Harbor requirements (collectively, such interests are referred to as “Safe Harbor Interests”).
The tax matters partner is authorized and directed to execute and file the Safe Harbor Election on behalf of the Partnership and
the Partners if and when the Safe Harbor Election becomes available. The Partnership and the Partners (including any person to
whom an interest in the Partnership is transferred in connection with the performance of services) hereby agree to comply with
all requirements of the Safe Harbor (including forfeiture allocations) with respect to all Safe Harbor Interests and to prepare
and file all U.S. federal income tax returns reporting the tax consequences of the issuance and vesting of Safe Harbor Interests
consistent with such final Safe Harbor guidance. The General Partner is authorized to take such actions as are necessary to achieve,
under the Safe Harbor, the effect that the election and compliance with all requirements of the Safe Harbor referred to above would
be intended to achieve under Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3, including amending this Agreement.


 




    	 	62	 



     


    

 


(e)          The
General Partner shall provide Holders of Class C Units with sufficient information to make an election under section 856(l)(1)
of the Code with respect to each Subsidiary of the Company that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes
and such other information as the Holder may reasonably request to make such other elections as may be available under the Code
and Regulations with respect to each such Subsidiary, and shall cooperate, and cause each such Subsidiary to cooperate, with such
Holder in making any such election, in each case, at the option of such Holder. The General Partner shall notify the Holders of
Class C Units within fifteen (15) days of the acquisition of an interest in, formation of, or decision to make an election
with respect to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of, any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company that is a corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes or for which an election to be treated as an association taxable as a corporation for U.S.

10.3       Partnership
Audits


 


(a)          The
General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. The General
Partner shall also serve as the Partnership Representative, and the General Partner shall not delegate such function (or any portion
of it) without the approval of the Special General Partner. In the event that any such delegation to another Person is approved
by the Special General Partner, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Partnership Representative shall apply to such
Person when performing such function.


 


(b)          The
Partnership Representative (if it is not the General Partner) shall at all times act only as directed by the General Partner. All
decisions and all actions, including the making of elections, that the Partnership Representative is authorized to make or do under
applicable law may be made by the Partnership Representative (if it is not the General Partner) only as directed by the General
Partner. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be seen as permitting the Partnership Representative (if it
is not the General Partner) to make any decisions regarding any interaction with any taxing authority or tribunal on behalf of
the Partnership or any Partner (including a decision to take no action, to delay taking action, or to act at a particular time).


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Partnership shall not make (and the General Partner and the Partnership Representative
shall not allow the Partnership to make) (i) any election under Section 6221(b) or Section 6226 of the Code , as amended by
the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 and any further amendments thereto, or (ii) any election to apply the Partnership Audit
Rules as amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 to taxable years of the Partnership ending before January 1, 2018, in each
case, without the Special General Partner’s consent.


 


(d)          The
General Partner and the Partnership Representative shall afford the Partners access to the Partnership’s books and records,
any other information or documentation relating to the tax situation of the Partnership, and any individuals with knowledge or
information regarding the tax situation of the Partnership (including any accountants or other advisors) as may be reasonably necessary
for the Initial Preferred LP and the other Partners (or any direct or indirect holder of an interest therein] in connection with
any Audit (as defined below), and the General Partner and the Partnership shall not alter or destroy any of such records or information
without first notifying the Special General Partner and the other Partners and affording the Special General Partner and the other
Partners at least ninety (90) days to remove or copy such records or information.


 




    	 	63	 



     


    

 


(e)          The
General Partner and the Partnership Representative shall not, without the Special General Partner’s prior consent, enter
into any agreement or make any undertaking or representation to any person regarding the Partnership, General Partner or Partnership
Representative being obligated or intending to take (or not take) any action with respect to the Partnership Audit Rules as amended
by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015.


 


(f)          The
Partnership Representative shall keep the Special General Partner and the other Partners fully and timely informed by written notice
of any pending or threatened tax action, investigation, claim, controversy or other proceedings involving the U.S. federal income
taxes or other material taxes of the Partnership (each an “Audit”), as well as the commencement of any Audit, the current
developments and status of any Audit, and the availability of elections, options and different possible actions involving any Audit.
The Partnership Representative and the Partnership shall promptly provide the Special General Partner and the other Partners with
copies of all correspondence between the Partnership or the Partnership Representative and any tax authority or tribunal in connection
with such Audit. To the extent any such Audit could materially affect the Initial Preferred LP or any other Partner (or any direct
or indirect holder of an interest therein), (i) the Special General Partner or such Partner shall have the right to review
and comment on any written submissions to the relevant taxing authority or tribunal in connection with such Audit (and in such
case the Partnership Representative shall consult with the Special General Partner or such Partner and take into account any such
comments in good faith), (ii) the Special General Partner or such Partner shall have the right to attend and jointly participate
in any meetings or conferences with the taxing authority or tribunal relating to such Audit at the Special General Partner’s
or such other Partner’s own expense, and (iii) such Audit may not be settled or otherwise disposed of without the Special
General Partner’s or such other Partner’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.


 


(g)          Any
information about any direct or indirect Partner or that person’s interest in the Partnership provided to any taxing authority
by or on behalf of the Partnership, the General Partner, or the Partnership Representative in connection with any Audit shall not
be shared with any other direct or indirect Partner or any other person except as is necessary in connection with an Audit.


 


(h)          To
the extent that, as a result of a determination by a taxing authority or adjudicative body (such determination, an “Audit
Determination”), there is any adjustment for the purposes of any tax law to any items of income gain, loss, deduction or
credit of the Partnership for any taxable period, or any amount of tax or potential tax (including any fine or penalty imposed
by a governmental authority and including any interest on such tax, fine, or penalty) due from the Partnership:


 


(i)          The
Partnership and the Partnership Representative shall notify the Special General Partner and the Class C Unit Holders within ten
(10) days of receiving such Audit Determination, and shall provide the Special General Partner and the Class C Unit Holders with
a copy of all correspondence with the taxing authority or adjudicative body relating to such Audit Determination;


 




    	 	64	 



     


    

 


(ii)         The
General Partner will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) pursue available procedures to reduce any “imputed underpayment
amount” (or other partnership-level assessment) on account of the Initial Preferred LP’s or any Class C Unit Holders’
(or any of the Initial Preferred LP’s or other Class C Unit Holders’ direct or indirect beneficial owners’)
tax status and (B) exercise its authority and rights under the governing agreements and governing law in a way that will result
in each Partner or former Partner in the Partnership bearing the tax burdens (including any penalties and interest) resulting from
or otherwise attributable to such Partner’s allocable share of the items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit resulting
from such adjustment, and to not bear any tax burdens resulting from or otherwise attributable to any other Partner’s allocable
share of such items.


 


(iii)        The
General Partner will not permit any Partner’s Partnership Interest to be wholly redeemed or otherwise eliminated in any period
in which an “imputed underpayment amount” has been assessed against the Partnership but not paid in full.


 


(iv)        Each
Partner agrees to provide tax information or certifications (including evidence of filing or payment of tax) as reasonably requested
by the Partnership Representative in connection with an Audit Determination and to cooperate with the Partnership, the General
Partner and the Partnership Representative in connection with any Audit. Any information so provided to the Partnership Representative
shall not be shared with any other direct or indirect Partner or any other person except as is necessary in connection with an
Audit. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall require the Initial Preferred LP or Class C Unit Holders to file an amended
tax return.


 


(v)         If
a tax (including any fine or penalty imposed by a governmental authority and including any interest on such tax, fine or penalty)
borne by the Partnership, its subsidiaries or any of the Partners pursuant to the Partnership Audit Rules is, in the General Partner’s
reasonable judgment, attributable to a Partner (including by reason of a failure to comply with Section ‎10.3(h)(iv)),
then the General Partner shall designate an amount equal to the economic burden of such tax, fine, penalty, and/or interest as
a liability of such Partner solely for the purpose of this Section ‎10.3(h)(iv) and shall notify such Partner of
such designation (as well as the reasons for such designation and the detailed computations resulting in the amount so designated).
Such Partner shall reimburse the Partnership for such amount (and, beginning ten (10) Business Days after having notified the Partner
pursuant to the preceding sentence, the General Partner shall be authorized to set off any amounts due from a Partner pursuant
this sentence against any amounts that would otherwise have been distributed by the Partnership to such Partner, and such Partner
will be treated as having received such distribution for all other purposes of this Agreement).


 


(i)          The
obligations under this Section ‎10.3 shall survive the transfer or termination of a Partnership Interest (or the Class C Units),
as well as the termination, dissolution, liquidation and winding up of the Partnership.


 




    	 	65	 



     


    

 


(j)          (i)          The
tax matters partner and Partnership Representative shall receive no compensation for its services.


 


(ii)         All
third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner or Partnership Representative in performing its duties as such
(including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership.


 


(iii)        Nothing
herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner or Partnership
Representative in discharging its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services is reasonable.


 


10.4       Organizational
Expenses


 


The Partnership shall elect to deduct
expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a one hundred eighty (180) month period as provided
in Section 709 of the Code.


 


10.5       Withholding



 


(a)          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 U.S. 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
any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code.


 


(b)          (i)          Any
amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner,
which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner as the case may be within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner
that such payment must be made unless


 


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


 


(B)         the
General Partner determines, in its reasonable 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 .


 


(ii)         Any
amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i)(A) or (B) shall be treated as having been distributed to the Limited
Partner.


 


(c)          (i)          Each
Limited Partner, with the exception of any Class C Unit Holder, 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.


 




    	 	66	 



     


    

 


(ii)         (A)         If
a Limited Partner fails to pay when due any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section ‎10.5, the General
Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited
Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed to all
rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner.


 


(B)         Without
limitation, in such event, the General Partner shall have the right to receive distributions that would otherwise be distributable
to such defaulting Limited Partner until such time as such loan, together with all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and
any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been distributed to the defaulting Limited
Partner and immediately paid by the defaulting Limited Partner to the General Partner in repayment of such loan.


 


(iii)        Any
amount payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the highest base or prime rate of interest published from
time to time by The Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points, but in no event higher than the maximum lawful rate
of interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand)
until such amount is paid in full.


 


(iv)        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.


 


10.6       Class C Units 


 


(a)          The
Company shall adjust the Gross Asset Value of the assets of the Company in accordance with subparagraph (b) of the definition of
Gross Asset Value upon the issuance of Class C Units for more than a de minimis amount of cash.


 


(b)          Distributions to Holders of Class
C Units pursuant to Section ‎5.1(d) or Section ‎16.5 shall be treated as payments made in exchange for such Holders’
interest in property of the Partnership pursuant to section 736(b) of the Code.


 


(c)          A
Holder of Class C Units, including Class C Deferred Distribution Units, shall be treated as a partner of the Company for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.

be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its General Partner Interest
to another Person, or a Limited Partner purports to assign all or any part of its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and
includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise.

to the Class C Rights, the General Partner may not Transfer any of its General Partner Interest or withdraw as General Partner,
or Transfer any of its Limited Partner Interest, except

connection with a transaction described in Section ‎11.2(c) or ‎(d) (as applicable)

the General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination of the General Partner with or into another
Person (other than a merger in which the General Partner is the surviving entity) or sale of all or substantially all of its assets,
or any reclassification, or any recapitalization of outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value

(i)          in
connection with the Transaction all Limited Partners will either receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each
Partnership Unit (in the case of Class C Units, calculated based on the number of OP Units a Class C Unit Holder would receive
upon conversion of Class C Units for OP Units pursuant to Section 16.4 hereof) an amount of cash, securities, or other property
equal to the product of the Exchange Factor and the amount of cash, securities or other property or value paid in the Transaction

Common Stock at any time during the period from and after the date on which the Transaction is consummated; provided,
however, that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer (“Offer”)
shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock, each holder of Partnership
Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units for the amount of cash, securities, or other property which a
Limited Partner would have received had it


 


(A)         exercised
its redemption right under Section ‎8.6 and


 


(B)         sold,
tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the Common Stock received upon exercise of the redemption right under Section ‎8.6

fulfillment of any obligations with respect to registering the sale of stock under applicable securities laws).

to Section ‎5.1 and notwithstanding Section ‎11.2(c), the General Partner may merge into or consolidate with another
entity if immediately after such merger or consolidation


 


(A)         substantially
all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the “Surviving General Partner”), other than Partnership
Units held by the General Partner, are contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for Partnership Units
with a fair market value equal to the value of the assets so contributed as determined by the Surviving General Partner in good
faith and


 


(B)         the
Surviving General Partner expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner hereunder.


 


(ii)         (A)         Upon
such contribution and assumption, the Surviving General Partner shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth
in this Section ‎11.2(d).


 


(B)         (1)         The
Surviving General Partner shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Exchange Factor for a Partnership
Unit after any such merger or consolidation so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably
possible.


 


(2)         Such
calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable
upon such merger or consolidation by a holder of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights relating thereto, and which
a holder of Partnership Units could have acquired had such Partnership Units been redeemed for Common Stock immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation.


 




    	 	69	 



     


    

 


(C)         Such
amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments provided for with respect to the Exchange Factor.


 


(iii)        The
above provisions of this Section ‎11.2(d) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted
hereunder.


 


11.3       Limited
Partners’ Rights to Transfer


 


(a)          Subject
to the provisions of this ‎Article 11, a Limited Partner may, without the consent of the General Partner, Transfer directly
or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its Limited Partner Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s
economic right as a Limited Partner. In order to effect such transfer, the Limited Partner must deliver to the General Partner
evidence of the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and represent that such
assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.


 


(b)          (i)          If
a Limited Partner is Incapacitated, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such
Limited Partner’s estate shall have all of the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other
Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed
to Transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership.


 


(ii)         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 by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units if it reasonably believes (based on the
advice of counsel) such Transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
or would otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership
Units.


 


(d)          No
Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units may be made to any Person if:


 


(i)          it
would adversely affect the ability of either the General Partner or the Brookfield REIT Holder (assuming, with respect to any consideration
of the foregoing pursuant to this Agreement, such Brookfield REIT Holder holds no assets other than Partnership Units) to continue
to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of
the Code;


 


(ii)         it
would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;


 


(iii)        
such Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel for 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 2510.3-101, as modified
by 3(42) of ERISA;


 




    	 	70	 



     


    

 


(iv)        such
Transfer would subject the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the Investment Advisors Act of
1940, each, as amended;


 


(v)         such
Transfer is a sale or exchange, and such sale or exchange would, when aggregated with all other sales and exchanges during the
twelve (12)-month period ending on the date of the proposed Transfer, result in 50% or more of the interests in Partnership capital
and profits being sold or exchanged during such 12-month period without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be
withheld in its sole and absolute discretion;


 


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


 


(vii)       with
respect to Transfers of Class C Units, such Transfer is to a Person that either (i) does not customarily invest in preferred
or convertible securities and does not make direct or indirect real estate investments of any type (whether debt, equity or otherwise)
or (ii) whose total assets together with its Affiliates do not exceed $100,000,000;


 


(viii)      with
respect to Transfers of Class C Units, such Transfer results in the Permitted Transferee (together with its Affiliates) owning
Class C Units with Liquidation Preference convertible into OP Units that would be redeemable for more than 20% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis and such Person does not agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth
in Section 10.8 of the Purchase Agreement entitled “Standstill” by executing the applicable joinder to the Purchase
Agreement pursuant to Section 10.8(f) thereof;


 


(ix)         with
respect to Transfers of Class C Units, such Transfer results in the Permitted Transferee (together with its Affiliates) owning
Class C Units with Liquidation Preference convertible into OP Units that would be redeemable for more than 35% of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis and such Person does not agree in writing to be bound by the restrictions set forth
in Section 10.9 of the Purchase Agreement entitled “Standstill on Voting” by executing the applicable joinder to the
Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 10.9(f) thereof;


 


(x)          with
respect to Transfers of Class C Units, such Transfer is from the Initial Preferred LP or an Affiliate thereof to a Brookfield
Excluded Affiliate, unless, prior to such Transfer, and as a condition thereof, the applicable Holder of Class C Units notifies
the Company in writing of such Transfer, which notice shall include a confirmation that such Permitted Transferee is an Affiliate
of such Holder of Class C Units and that, following such Transfer, shall no longer be a Brookfield Excluded Affiliate for purposes
of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents;


 


(xi)         such
Transfer would require any consent or waiver or result in an “Event of Default” under any material contract (including
any material loan agreement, franchise agreement, ground lease or any other material contract to which the General Partner, the
Company or any Subsidiaries thereof is party or to which any Property is subject); provided that the Company and the General
Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consent or waiver that may be required under any such agreement
in connection with any such Transfer; or


 




    	 	71	 



     


    

 


(xii)        such
Transfer is to a Person set forth on Exhibit F (each such Person and any Affiliate of such Person, a “Prohibited
Transferee”). The General Partner shall have the right once per twelve (12)-month period to replace Persons on the list,
but not to increase the number, of Prohibited Transferees on Exhibit F. Any replacement to the Prohibited Transferee
list shall only be permitted to be made by the General Partner in conjunction with the removal of a Person from the Prohibited
Transferee list and so long as the replacement Prohibited Transferee is an organization with similar investment reputation and
investment profile (e.g., activist hedge fund) and so long as Class C Unit Holders are given written notice of such substitution
no less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such substitution. Upon a substitution pursuant to this Section ‎11.3(d),
the General Partner shall amend, or be deemed to have amended, Exhibit F to reflect the name of the substituted Prohibited
Transferee.


 


(e)          No
Transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of
Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability
(within the meaning of Section 1.752-1(a)(2) of the Regulations), without the consent of the General Partner, which may
be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that as a condition to such consent the
lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to exchange for the Cash Amount
any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to
be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.


 


(f)          The
General Partner shall ensure either (x) that there are never more than 90 partners of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations section 1.7704-1(h)(1(ii) and that each Partner satisfies the requirements of this Section 11.3(f) or (y) that based
on advice of counsel, the Partnership will not be taxable as a publicly-traded partnership taxable as a corporation for federal
income tax purposes. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, without the written consent of the General
Partner:


 


(i)          No
Partner may (A) acquire or transfer its Partnership Interest (or any interest therein that is described in Treasury Regulations
section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B)) on or through (x) a United States national, regional or local securities exchange, (y) a foreign
securities exchange or (z) an interdealer quotation system that regularly disseminates firm buy or sell quotations by identified
brokers or dealers ((x), (y) and (z), collectively, an “Exchange”) or (B) cause its Partnership Interest or
any interest therein to be marketed on or through an Exchange, or (C) acquire or transfer its Partnership Interest (or any interest
therein that is described in Treasury Regulations section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B)) if it would result in there being more than 90
partners of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii).


 


(ii)         No
Partner may enter into any financial instrument payments on which, or the value of which, is determined in whole or in part by
reference to its Partnership Interest, or the Partnership (including the amount of the Partnership’s distributions or Partnership
Interests, the value of the Partnership’s assets, or the result of the Partnership’s operations), or any contract that
otherwise is described in Treasury Regulations section 1.7704-1(a)(2)(i)(B).


 




    	 	72	 



     


    

 


(iii)        If
a potential Partner is a partnership, grantor trust or S corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, less than 50% of the
value of any person’s interest in such partnership, grantor trust or S corporation must at all times be attributable to the
Partner’s Partnership Interest, except that written consent of the General Partner shall be granted with respect to this
clause (iii) to a Class C Unit Holder if the General Partner is notified of all relevant circumstances of the potential Partner
and the General Partner reasonably concludes that there are no more than twenty (20) partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
section 1.7704-1(h)(1)(ii)) of the Partnership that are Class C Unit Holders (including such persons referred to in this clause
iii and, where appropriate, the beneficial owners of such persons).


 


(iv)        No
Partner may directly or indirectly transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest unless (A) the transferee, if
a direct  transferee, agrees to be bound by the restrictions and conditions in this Section 11.3(f) and (B) such transfer
does not violate this Section 11.3(f).


 


(v)         Any
transfer that would cause the Partnership to be unable to rely on the “private placement” safe harbor of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.7704-1(h) will be void and of no force or effect unless the General Partner otherwise determines based on advice of counsel
that the Partnership will not be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.


 


(g)          Any
Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Section ‎11.3 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be
binding upon, or recognized by, the Partnership.


 


11.4       Substituted
and Additional Limited Partners upon Transfer 


 


(a)          Other
than as set forth in Section ‎11.4(d) below, no Limited Partner shall have the right in its sole discretion to substitute a
Permitted Transferee as a Limited Partner in its place or admit an Additional Limited Partner upon a partial Transfer of its Partnership
Units and any such substitution shall be subject to the prior written consent of the General Partner.


 


(b)          No
Permitted Transferee will be admitted as a Limited Partner, unless such Permitted Transferee has furnished to the General Partner
written evidence in customary form of such Permitted Transferee’s acceptance, and agreement to be bound by, all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.


 


(c)          A
Permitted Transferee who has been admitted as a 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 (including, in the case of a Transfer of
Class C Units, a Class C Unit Holder Limited Partner) under this Agreement.


 


(d)          Upon
a Transfer by a Limited Partner of Class C Units to a Permitted Transferee, the General Partner shall be deemed to have automatically
consented to the admission of such Permitted Transferee as a Limited Partner and cause the admission of such Permitted Transferee
as a Limited Partner.


 




    	 	73	 



     


    

 


(e)          Upon
the admission of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section ‎11.4, the General Partner shall amend, or be deemed to have
amended, Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and, if applicable, Percentage Interest
of such Limited Partner, and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the predecessor of such Limited
Partner.


 


11.5       Assignees



 


(a)          Other
than with respect to Transfers of Class C Units, in which case the General Partner shall be deemed to have automatically consented
to admit any Permitted Transferee as a Limited Partner in accordance with the terms hereof, if the General Partner does not consent
to the admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section ‎11.4, such transferee shall
be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement.


 


(b)          An
Assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Partnership and the
share of Net Income, Net Losses and any other items of gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership
Units assigned to such Assignee, 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 vote such Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners, for a vote (such Partnership
Units being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners
are voted).


 


(c)          If
any such Assignee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such Assignee shall be subject to all of
the provisions of this ‎Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to Transfer any
Partnership Units.


 


11.6       General
Provisions


 


(a)          No
Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s
Partnership Units in accordance with this ‎Article 11 or, as it relates to the Limited Partners, pursuant to exchange of all
of its Partnership Units pursuant to Section ‎8.6.


 


(b)          (i)          Any
Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer permitted pursuant to this ‎Article 11 shall
cease to be a Limited Partner upon the admission of all Assignees of such Partnership Units as Substituted Limited Partners.


 


(ii)         Similarly,
any Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant
to Section ‎8.6 shall cease to be a Limited Partner.


 


(c)          (i)          If
any Partnership Interest is transferred or assigned during the Partnership’s fiscal year in compliance with the provisions
of this ‎Article 11 or exchanged for Common Stock pursuant to Section ‎8.6 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 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 in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method
or such other method permitted by the Code as the General Partner may select.


 




    	 	74	 



     


    

 


(ii)         Solely
for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the Transfer or assignment occurs shall
be allocated to the transferee Partner, and none of such items for the calendar month in which an exchange occurs shall be allocated
to the exchanging Partner, provided, however, that the General Partner may adopt such other conventions relating
to allocations in connection with transfers, assignments, or exchanges as it determines are necessary or appropriate.


 


(iii)        All
distributions pursuant to Section ‎5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) attributable to Partnership Units, with respect to which
the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment, or exchange of such Partnership Units, shall be made
to the transferor Partner or the exchanging Partner, as the case may be, and in the case of a Transfer or assignment other than
an exchange, all distributions pursuant to Section ‎5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) thereafter attributable to such Partnership
Units shall be made to the transferee Partner.


 


(d)          In
addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including the provisions of this ‎Article 11, in no event
may any Transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner be made without the express consent of the General Partner,
in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership
Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the
Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if
in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state
income tax purposes (except as a result of the exchange for Common Stock of all Partnership 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,
there would be a significant risk that such transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the exchange for Common Stock of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners
or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section ‎11.2 or a Full Redemption); (vi) if such transfer
requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if
such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial
equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or such transfer causes the Partnership to become
a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Section 469(k)(2) or under Section 7704(b) of
the Code (provided, however, that this clause (vii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting
in any manner the exercise of the OP Redemption Right under Section ‎8.6 unless the General Partner determines in its
reasonable discretion (which may include obtaining an opinion of outside tax counsel) that, in the absence of such limitation or
restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership” and,
by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation); (viii) if such transfer could adversely affect the ability of either the General
Partner or any Brookfield REIT Holder (assuming, with respect to any consideration of the foregoing pursuant to this Agreement,
such Brookfield REIT Holder holds no assets other than Partnership Units) to remain qualified as a REIT; or (ix) if in the opinion
of legal counsel of the transferring Partner (which opinion and counsel are reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership), or legal
counsel of the Partnership, such transfer would adversely affect the ability of either the General Partner or any Brookfield REIT
Holder (assuming, with respect to any consideration of the foregoing pursuant to this Agreement, such Brookfield REIT Holder holds
no assets other than Partnership Units) to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes
under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, if the General Partner or any Brookfield REIT Holder, as the case may
be, has elected to be qualified as a REIT.

by the General Partner, include shares of common stock or other securities of the General Partner) shall be applied and distributed
in the following order:


 


(A)         First,
to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners;


 


(B)         Second,
to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the General Partner;


 


(C)         Third,
to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the other Partners;


 


(D)         Fourth,
to the Class C Unit Holders in accordance with Section ‎5.1(c), if and to the extent applicable, and otherwise an amount equal
to the Liquidation Preference of the Class C Units; and


 


(E)         the
balance, if any, shall be distributed to Holders of GP Units and OP Units in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.


 


(iv)        The
General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this ‎Article 13.


 


(v)         Any

in which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation).


 


(b)          (i)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section ‎13.2(a) hereof 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 asset except those
necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners, as creditors) or distribute to the Partners,
in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section ‎13.2(a) hereof, undivided
interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation.


 




    	 	79	 



     


    

 


(ii)         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 interests 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.


 


(iii)        The
Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation
as it may adopt.


 


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


 


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


 


(B)         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 the Limited Partners in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section ‎13.2(a)(iii),
as soon as practicable.


 


13.3       Obligation
to Contribute Deficit


 


If any Partner has a deficit balance
in his Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable years, including
the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of
the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any
other Person for any purpose whatsoever.


 


13.4       Rights
of Limited Partners


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return
of its Capital Contributions and shall have no right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership.


 




    	 	80	 



     


    

 


(b)          Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have priority over any other Partner as to the return of its
Capital Contributions, distributions, or allocations.


 


13.5       Notice
of Dissolution


 


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


 


13.6       Termination
of Partnership and Cancellation of Certificate of Limited Partnership


 


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


 


13.7       Reasonable
Time for Winding-Up


 


A reasonable time shall be allowed
for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section ‎13.2
hereof in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain
in effect among the Partners during the period of liquidation.

to partition of the Partnership property.

their option to convert Class C Units into OP Units pursuant to Section 16.4 hereof and immediately thereafter exercise their
right to redeem the OP Units received in exchange for Class C Units pursuant to Section 8.6(a) hereof, and a Nonredemption Event
occurs (including in connection with any election by an OP Unit Holder to retain the number of OP Units corresponding to any Over-Threshold
Shares pursuant to Section 8.6(b)), the OP Unit Holder shall in that case, for so long as it retains such OP Units and so long
as a redemption of Common Stock would be for a Common Stock Value of at least $5,000,000, retain all of its Class C Rights as
if each such OP Unit was a Class C Unit.


 


(a)          Distributions.
The holders of Class C Units shall be entitled, as set forth herein, to (i) payments of fixed, cumulative Class C Cash
Distribution Amounts, (ii) Tax Distributions, (iii) PIK Distributions, and (iv) distributions upon a Fundamental Sale Transaction.

(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses in connection with (A), the negotiation, preparation, execution,
delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and any other documents or matter as requested by the General Partner, (B) enforcing any obligations of or collecting
any payments due from the General Partner or the Company under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (including any modification,
restructuring or work out related to the Transaction Documents or the obligations they are under); and (C) to the extent not already
covered by any of the other subclauses of this sentence, the reimbursement of any or all Class C Unit Holders in any matter relating
to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries solely in connection with
such Class C Unit Holder’s capacity as a Class C Unit Holder or creditor (if applicable) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
(the “Reimbursable Amounts”); provided, however, neither any Class C Unit Holder, nor any of its
Affiliates shall have the right to be reimbursed under clause (B) of the this sentence for such Class C Unit Holder or its Affiliates’
own gross negligence, violation of law, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct).

Transfer by the General Partner of all or part of its Partnership Interest; or


 




    	 	91	 



     


    

 


(xix)       take
any action indirectly, whether through any Subsidiary or otherwise, which, if taken directly by the Company, would be prohibited
by this ‎Section 16.3; or


 


(xx)        agree
or commit (in writing or otherwise) to do any of the foregoing.


 


(b)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the General Partner shall, upon the written advice of reputable, nationally recognized external legal counsel, be
permitted to take such actions as are reasonably necessary to (x) maintain the General Partner’s status as a REIT and satisfy
the REIT Requirements or (y) ensure that the Company is not classified as an “investment company” under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, which actions shall not require the approval of a majority of the Class C Unit Holders; provided,
that the Company shall provide the Class C Unit Holders and the Special General Partner with written notice five (5) Business Days
prior to the date of taking any such actions.


 


(c)          The
foregoing rights of the Class C Unit Holders to approve all matters set forth above in this Section 16.3 will not apply other
than in connection with any retention of OP Units as set forth in Section 16.2, if, at or prior to the time when the
Restricted Action with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required is contemplated, the Liquidation Preference
applicable to all Class C Units held by the Initial Preferred LP and its Affiliates is reduced to $100,000,000 or less due to
the exercise of OP Redemption Rights at the election of the Class C Unit Holders (a “Sell-Down
Event”).


 


(d)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Class C Unit Holders shall, upon the resignation, termination or replacement of the General Partner, have the
right to vote as a class, in addition to the matters set forth above in Section16.3(a), on the matters that are set forth in Sections
6.1(i)(ix), 6.1(i)(x) and 6.1(i)(xiv) of the Articles Supplementary and neither any other General Partner nor the Partnership shall,
without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Class C Units outstanding at the time, given in
person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), be permitted to take such actions.


 


(e)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as the Initial Preferred LP owns $50,000,000 in Liquidation Preference, the affirmative vote of the Initial
Preferred LP shall be required to take the actions set forth in Section ‎16.3(a)(xviii) above.


 


16.4       Conversion
of Class C Units


 


(a)          Conversion
at Option of Holder. Subject to Section 15.14 and Section 16.7, at the option of any Holder of Class C Units, any or all Class
C Units held by such Holder may be converted into OP Units based on the Conversion Price on the Conversion Date as determined by
dividing the Liquidation Preference of the Class C Units to be converted (as of the Conversion Date) by the Conversion Price (as
of such date). A Holder may convert Class C Units into OP Units pursuant to this paragraph at any time and from time to time after
the Original Issue Date, by delivering to the Company a conversion notice (the “Holder Conversion Notice”),
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, appropriately completed and duly signed.


 


(b)          Effect
of Conversion. Effective immediately after the close of business on the Conversion Date applicable to any Class C Units, Class
C Cash Distribution Amounts and PIK Distributions shall no longer accrue or be declared on any such Class C Units and such Class
C Units shall cease to be outstanding.


 




    	 	92	 



     


    

 


(c)          Redemption
for Common Stock. A Holder of OP Units received upon conversion of Class C Units shall be entitled to subsequently exercise
its OP Redemption Right with respect to such OP Units, which may then, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner,
be satisfied by paying either the Cash Amount or the Common Stock Amount (but not, except as set forth in Section 8.6(b), a combination
of both), pursuant to Section 8.6.


 


(d)          Conversion
Price. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment from time to time as follows, and such adjustments shall be made to the
Conversion Price for all Class C Units from and after the date of this Agreement.


 


(i)          Stock
Dividends and Splits. If the General Partner, at any time while the Class C Units are outstanding, (A) pays a stock
dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of Equity Securities that is payable in shares of
Common Stock, (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (C) combines outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then, in each such case, the applicable Conversion Price shall be
multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before
such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (A) of this paragraph shall become effective for conversions on any Conversion
Dates occurring on any date immediately following the record date for the determination of the General Partner’s
stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustments pursuant to clause (B) or (C) of this
paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.


 


(ii)         Other
Distributions. In case the General Partner fixes a record date for the making of a distribution to all holders of shares of
Common Stock of securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (including ordinary cash dividends), excluding
distributions referred to above under Section 16.4(d)(i), (such distribution, the “Distributed Property”), then,
in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect prior to such record date will be reduced for conversions on any Conversion Dates
occurring on any date thereafter by an amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the total value of the Distributed Property
by the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the record date; such adjustment will be made immediately after the record
date for the determination of Stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. In the event that such distribution is not made,
the Conversion Price then in effect will be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board determines not to so distribute
such Distributed Property, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect.


 


(iii)        Adjustment
of Conversion Price Upon Issuance of Additional Shares. In the event the General Partner or the Partnership shall at any time
after the Original Issue Date issue Additional Shares (including by issuing Convertible Securities that are convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for, Additional Shares), without consideration or for a consideration per Additional Share less than (a) in
the case of such an issuance of Additional Shares prior to a Listing, the Conversion Price and (b) in the case of an issuance
of Additional Shares upon or subsequent to a Listing, the greater of the Conversion Price or the Market Price, then the Conversion
Price shall be reduced, concurrently with such issue, to a price (calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a cent) determined
in accordance with the following formula:


 




    	 	93	 



     


    

 


CP2 = CP1 * (A + B) ÷ (A +
C).


 


For purposes of the foregoing formula,
the following definitions shall apply:


 


		3⁄4	“CP2” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately after such issue of Additional Shares, as applicable;



 


		3⁄4	“CP1” shall mean the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares;



 


		3⁄4	“A” shall mean the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such issue of Additional Shares
(treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities
(including the Class C Units and all OP Units outstanding, if any) immediately prior to such issue);



 


		3⁄4	“B” shall mean the aggregate consideration (including, in the case of Convertible Securities, consideration payable
upon conversion, exchange or exercise) received or to be received by the General Partner or Partnership in respect of such issue
divided by CP1(representing the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if such Additional Shares had been
issued (or in the case of Convertible Securities, would be issued upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Convertible
Security) at a price per share equal to CP1); and



 


		3⁄4	“C” shall mean the number of such Additional Shares issued (or, in the case of Convertible Securities, issuable)
in such transaction.



 


(iv)        Adjustment
for Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation
or merger involving the General Partner in which shares of Common Stock (but not the Class C Units) are converted into or exchanged
for securities, cash or other property (other than a Fundamental Sale Transaction resulting in a Full Redemption pursuant to Section
‎5.1(c)), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each OP Unit
issuable to a Class C Unit Holder upon conversion from Class C Units to OP Units shall thereafter be redeemable in lieu of the
Common Stock for which it was redeemable pursuant to Section ‎8.6(b) prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities,
cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the General Partner issuable upon redemption of
one such OP Unit for Common Stock pursuant to Section ‎8.6(b) immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification,
consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment
or adjustments (as determined in good faith by the Board) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section ‎16.4
with respect to the rights and interests hereafter of the Holders of the Class C Units, to the end that the provisions set forth
in this Section ‎16.4 (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall
thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable
upon the conversion of the Class C Units into OP Units and redemption of the OP Units in exchange for Common Stock pursuant to
this Section 16.4(d).


 




    	 	94	 



     


    

 


(v)         Certain
Repurchases of Common Stock. Except for repurchases of shares of Common Stock from employees of the Company, the General Partner
or an Affiliate thereof pursuant to contractual call rights or rights of first refusal in which all or a portion of the interests
held by the employee are repurchased at a price set forth in the grant agreement related thereto or repurchased in connection with
the satisfaction of a tax withholding obligation, if the General Partner purchases from its stockholders shares of Common Stock,
or otherwise acquires its Common Stock in exchange for consideration, for purposes of adjusting the Conversion Price pursuant to
this Section ‎16.4(d), the excess, if any, of the total value of such consideration over the aggregate Common Stock Value of
the shares of Common Stock so acquired shall be treated as Distributed Property pursuant to Section ‎16.4(d)(ii) that was distributed
to the remaining stockholders of the General Partner immediately after the acquisition of such Common Stock.


 


(vi)        No
adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase or decrease in
the aggregate for a series of offerings or transactions of at least 1% in such price; provided, however, that any
adjustments that by reason of this subparagraph (vi) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and aggregated with future
adjustments and taken into account in calculating any subsequent adjustment when made; and provided further, however
that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section ‎16.4 (other than this subparagraph
(vi)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of
Common Stock. All calculations under this Section ‎16.4 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward)
or to the nearest one-tenth of a share (with 0.05 of a share being rounded upward), as the case may be.


 


(vii)       There
shall be no adjustment of the Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any shares of capital stock of the General Partner in
a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in this Section ‎16.4. If any action
or transaction would require adjustment of the Conversion Price pursuant to more than one paragraph of this Section ‎16.4,
only one adjustment shall be made, and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value.


 


16.5       Redemption
Rights of Class C Unit Holders


 


(a)          Redemption
at Option of Holder.


 


(i)          From
time to time on or after the fifth (5th)anniversary of the Original Issue Date by delivery of a Notice of Redemption to the Partnership
specifying the number of Class C Units to be redeemed and the Redemption Date, any Class C Unit Holder may, at its election, require
the Company to redeem any or all of the Class C Units then owned by such Holder, for an amount per Class C Unit in cash paid on
the Redemption Date equal to the Liquidation Preference (measured as of the Redemption Date) of each Class C Unit to be redeemed.


 


(ii)         At
any time, and from time to time following the occurrence of a REIT Event or a Material Breach, by delivery of a Notice of Redemption,
a Class C Unit Holder may, at its option, require the Partnership to redeem any or all of the Class C Units owned by the Holder


 




    	 	95	 



     


    

 


(A)         
in the case of a Redemption Date on or prior to February 27, 2019, an amount per Class C Unit in cash equal to such Class
C Unit’s pro rata share (determined based on the respective Liquidation Preferences of all Class C Units) of an amount equal
to (I) $800,000,000 less (II) the sum of (i) the difference between (A) $400,000,000 and (B) the Stated
Value of all outstanding Class C Units and (ii) all Class C Cash Distribution Amounts actually paid to the Holders
of Class C Units (other than PIK Distributions) prior to such date,


 


(B)         
in the case of a Redemption Date after February 27, 2019 and prior to the date that is fifty-seven (57) months and one day
after the date of this Agreement, an amount per Class C Unit in cash equal to (x) two times the Stated Value of such
Class C Unit, less (y) all Class C Cash Distribution Amounts actually paid (other than PIK Distributions) on such
Class C Units prior to such date,


 


(C)         
in the case of a Redemption Date on or after the date that is fifty-seven (57) months and one day after the date of this Agreement,
an amount per Class C Unit in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Class C Unit plus the Make Whole Premium for such
Class C Unit, and


 


(D)         
in the case of a Redemption Date on or after the date that is sixty (60) months after the date of this Agreement, an amount per
Class C Unit in cash equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Class C Unit.


 


(iii)        [Reserved.]


 


(iv)        At
any time following the rendering of a judgment that is the result of an Action challenging the ability of the Initial Preferred
LP, the Special General Partner or the Class C Unit Holders to exercise their Class C Rights or the holder of the Redeemable Preferred
Share or Redeemable Preferred Directors to exercise their rights pursuant to the Articles Supplementary and that has the consequence
of enjoining or otherwise preventing the Class C Unit Holders, the Initial Preferred LP, or the Special General Partner from exercising
their Class C Rights, the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share from exercising its rights pursuant to the Articles Supplementary
or the Redeemable Preferred Directors from exercising their rights under the Articles Supplementary, any Class C Unit Holder
may, at its election, require the Company to redeem any or all of the Class C Units then owned by such Holder, for the Liquidation
Preference of such Class C Units.


 


(v)         Such
redemption payments shall be due and owing as of the Redemption Date regardless of the availability of cash, including
Available Cash, to pay such amounts. In the event any redemption payment is not made when due because cash is not available
therefor including by operation of legal prohibitions imposed by operation of Section 17-607 of the Act, then the Class C
Units shall continue to accrue Class C Cash Distribution Amounts and PIK Distributions. The Redemption Date shall be
specified in a Notice of Redemption, and, (A) in the case of any redemption request made pursuant to Sections ‎16.5(a)(i)
and ‎(ii), shall be not less than sixty (60) days after the delivery of such Notice of Redemption, and (B) in the case of
any redemption request made pursuant to Section ‎16.5(a)(iv), shall be not less than one hundred fifty (150) days after
the delivery of such Notice of Redemption.


 




    	 	96	 



     


    

 


(vi)        If
requested by a Holder to redeem less than all Class C Units held by such Holder, the Company shall not be required to redeem
such Holder to the extent such redemption would result in a redemption payment of less than $15,000,000. If a Notice of Redemption
requests redemption of Class C Units in the aggregate that would result in the total outstanding Liquidation Preference of Class
C Units remaining outstanding being equal to less than $35,000,000, the Company shall have the right to redeem all outstanding
Class C Units in full on the Redemption Date set forth therein by submitting an irrevocable written notice of redemption to all
Class C Unit Holders at least two (2) Business Days prior to such Redemption Date.


 


(vii)       Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, any redemption payments due under this Section 16.5 shall only be made out of Legally Available
Funds of the Company. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Company shall not be permitted to withhold payments under this Section
16.5 based upon a claim of no Legally Available Funds unless it shall have delivered to the Class C Unit Holders a certificate
signed by the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or any other employee performing a similar function for the
Company or the General Partner setting forth such determination in reasonable detail as of the date of such claim.


 


(b)          All
Class C Units delivered for redemption shall be delivered to the Partnership or the Company, as the case may be, free and clear
of all Liens and encumbrances other than restrictions under applicable securities laws and as set forth herein, and notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to acquire
Class C Units which are or may be subject to liens.


 


(c)          Redemption
at Option of Company. No Class C Units shall be redeemable at the option of the Company except as expressly set forth in Section ‎16.5(c).


 


(i)          From
time to time on or after the earlier to occur of (1) the eleventh (11th) Business Day after a Funding Failure Final
Determination, and (2) the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date (or, in the case of Class C Deferred Distribution
Units, the seventh (7th) anniversary), the Company may, at its option, redeem any or all of the Class C Units then owned by the
Holders, in cash for an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference of such Class C Units. The Company shall submit an irrevocable
written notice of redemption (a “Company Redemption Notice”) to Class C Unit Holders at least thirty (30) Business
Days but no more than ninety (90) days prior to the Redemption Date set forth therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Redemption
Date with respect to any such redemption by the Company may be the date that is the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Original Issue
Date (or, in the case of Class C Deferred Distribution Units, the seventh (7th) anniversary).


 


(ii)         In
addition to an applicable Redemption Date, any Company Redemption Notice shall also set forth the number of Class C Units to be
redeemed and a calculation of the amount in cash to be paid with respect to such redemption (which calculation shall be satisfactory
to the Class C Unit Holders), including amounts due and payable with respect to indemnity and Reimbursable Amounts, and the Company
shall, on such Redemption Date, make payment in full of the aggregate amount set forth in such Company Redemption Notice.


 




    	 	97	 



     


    

 


(iii)        If,
no more than three (3) Business Days following receipt of a Company Redemption Notice, a Holder of Class C Units subject to
such Company Redemption Notice submits a Holder Conversion Notice with respect to such Class C Units, such Class C Units
shall be converted into OP Units in accordance with Section 16.4 on a Conversion Date that shall be deemed to be the Business
Day immediately prior to the Redemption Date set forth in the Company Redemption Notice. Such Holder Conversion Notice shall
also be deemed to be a Notice of Redemption delivered pursuant to Section 8.6 to exercise such Holder’s OP Redemption
Right with respect to the OP Units issuable upon conversion of such Class C Units, and the Specified Redemption Date included
in such Notice of Redemption shall be deemed to be the same date as the applicable Conversion Date but at a time on such date
that shall be immediately following the time of the conversion of such Class C Units into OP Units. If the General Partner
then, in its sole and absolute discretion and in accordance with all applicable provisions of Section 8.6, elects to assume
directly and satisfy the redemption obligations related to such exercise of the OP Redemption Right by paying either the Cash
Amount or the Common Stock Amount with respect to such OP Units, it shall notify the applicable Holder in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8.6. Unless the General Partner elects to pay the Common Stock Amount, such Holder may elect, by
written notice to the General Partner delivered no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Redemption Date, to cause the
Holder Conversion Notice deemed to be a Notice of Redemption pursuant to the operation of the first sentence of this Section
16.5(c)(iii) to no longer be deemed as such (a “Redemption Revocation”), and, on the Conversion Date, such
Class C Units shall be converted into OP Units but shall not be thereafter redeemed for the Cash Amount or the Common Stock
Amount pursuant to such Holder Conversion Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Holder shall be permitted to
subsequently request redemption for the Cash Amount or the Common Stock Amount pursuant to a new Holder Conversion
Notice.


 


(d)         Reduction
of Class C Unit Liquidation Preference at Option of Company.


 


(i)          If
a Listing is completed prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Company may, until the fifth (5th)
anniversary of the Original Issue Date, at its option make a Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment with respect to
any issued and outstanding Class C Units (other than any Class C Deferred Distribution Units with respect to which the Company
has previously paid the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment) pursuant to this Section ‎16.5(d)(i). For purposes
of this Agreement, a “Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment” with respect to a Class C Unit means the payment
of an amount with respect to such Class C Unit equal to the product of (A) the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Gross
Payment with respect to such Class C Unit, and (B) a fraction equal to (1) the excess of (i) the Liquidation Preference of such
Class C Unit on the date the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment is made, over (ii) ten cents ($0.10), divided by
(2) the Liquidation Preference of such Class C Unit on such date. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Class C Liquidation
Preference Reduction Gross Payment” with respect to a Class C Unit means an amount equal to the sum of (X) the Liquidation
Preference of such Class C Unit on the date of any Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment, plus (Y) such Class C Unit’s
pro rata portion (based on such Class C Units’ Liquidation Preference) of the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Make
Whole Premium. Upon payment of the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment with respect to a Class C Unit, the Liquidation
Preference of such Class C Units shall be reduced to ten cents ($0.10), and such Class C Unit shall be, for the purposes of this
Agreement, a “Class C Deferred Distribution Unit.” Class C Deferred Distribution Units remain convertible into OP
Units in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 16.4 applicable to all other Class C Units in an amount determined
by the Liquidation Preference of such Class C Deferred Distribution Units.


 




    	 	98	 



     


    

 


(ii)         For
purposes of Section ‎16.5(d)(i), the “Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Make Whole Premium” means
the Make Whole Premium that would be applicable with respect to any payment
made pursuant to Section 16.5(c) calculated as of the date of any Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment
with respect to any number of Class C Units equal to (A) in the case of a Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction
Payment made prior to February 27, 2019, a number of Class C Units reflecting the issuance of Class C Units with an
aggregate Liquidation Preference upon issuance of $400,000,000, whether or not such number of Class C Units was actually
purchased by the Initial Preferred LP pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, by multiplying the Class C Liquidation Preference
Reduction Make Whole Premium calculated on the number of Class C Units actually outstanding by a fraction the numerator of
which is $400,000,000 and the denominator of which is the aggregate Liquidation Preference upon issuance of Class C Units
actually purchased by the Initial Preferred LP pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and (B) in the case of a Class C
Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment made after February 27, 2019, the number of Class C Units subject to such Class
C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment.


 


(iii)        If
the Company elects under Section ‎16.5(d)(i) to make a Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment with respect
to some, but not all, then outstanding Class C Units (other than Class C Deferred Distribution Units with respect to which
the Company has previously paid the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment), the Company shall make a Class C Liquidation
Preference Reduction Payment with respect to a number of Class C Units of each Holder that represents, as closely as practicable,
the same percentage of the total Liquidation Preference of all Class C Units (other than Class C Deferred Distribution Units with
respect to which the Company has previously paid the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payment) held by such Holder.


 


(e)          Upon
the earlier to occur of (i) the Class C Final Deferred Distribution Date, (ii) upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, immediately
before any distribution in liquidation of the Company pursuant to Section ‎13.2, or (iii) in connection with any election
by the Holder thereof to convert Class C Deferred Distribution Units into OP Units in accordance with Section 16.4, immediately
before such Class C Deferred Distribution Units are so converted, the Company shall deliver to each Holder of Class C Deferred
Distribution Units a number of OP Units equal to the Class C Deferred Distribution Amount with respect to such Holder’s
Class C Deferred Distribution Units as of such date. A Holder of OP Units received under this Section ‎16.5(e) shall be entitled
to elect to redeem any or all of its OP Units pursuant to the provisions of Section ‎8.6 hereof. With respect to the remaining
amount of Liquidation Preference associated therewith, Class C Deferred Distribution Units shall have the same rights, preferences
or privileges under this Agreement as other Class C Units, except that Holders of Class C Deferred Distribution Units shall not
have any voting or approval rights hereunder, including the right to vote to approve Restricted Actions pursuant to Section 16.3
hereof.


 




    	 	99	 



     


    

 


(f)          For
illustrative purposes only, examples of the Class C Liquidation Preference Reduction Payments are set forth on Exhibit G
attached hereto.


 


16.6       Preemptive
Rights of Class C Units


 


(a)          Preemptive
Rights At any time following the date hereof but subject to Section 15.14, if the General Partner or the Company
proposes to issue additional Equity Securities, including Convertible Securities (such Equity Securities, the
“Preemptive Securities”) (subject to the Class C Rights, with the exception of any issuance (i) in
connection with a debt financing (including in connection with capital lease and commercial financing arrangements), (ii) as
consideration in any merger, acquisition, business combination or similar transaction, (iii) as consideration in a joint
venture or any other strategic transaction, (iv) in connection with any public offering, (v) in connection with any stock
split, subdivision, conversion (including any conversion of Class C Units to OP Units pursuant to Section 16.4), exercise,
recapitalization, redemption (including any OP Units issued pursuant to Section 16.5(e)), distribution (including PIK
Distributions), or dividend (vi) in connection with any spin-off, split-off, rights offering or similar pro rata
distribution, so long as made pro rata to all holders of shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis, or (vii) to
employees, directors or other service providers to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as compensation for services (a
“New Issuance”)), the Company shall as soon as practicable provide written notice to each 5% Class C Unit
Holder of such anticipated issuance (the “Preemptive Rights Notice”), which each 5% Class C Unit
Holder shall keep confidential. The Preemptive Rights Notice shall (x) set forth the material terms and conditions of the New
Issuance, including the proposed purchase price for the Preemptive Securities, the anticipated issuance date and the purpose
of such New Issuance, and (y) offer each 5% Class C Unit Holder the opportunity to elect to participate in such New
Issuance, provided such election is made no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the Preemptive
Rights Notice. Subject to the terms of this Section ‎16.6, each 5% Class C Unit Holder shall have the right to purchase
up to its Pro Rata Portion of such Preemptive Securities at the price and on the terms and conditions specified in the
Preemptive Rights Notice by delivering an irrevocable written notice to the Company no later than fifteen (15) Business Days
after the date of the Preemptive Rights Notice, setting forth the number of such Preemptive Securities for which such right
is exercised. Such notice shall also include the maximum number of Preemptive Securities the applicable 5% Class C Unit
Holder would be willing to purchase in the event any other applicable 5% Class C Unit Holder elects to purchase less than its
Pro Rata Portion of such Securities. If any applicable 5% Class C Unit Holder elects not to purchase its full Pro Rata
Portion of such Preemptive Securities, the Company shall allocate any remaining amount among those 5% Class C Unit Holders
who have indicated in the notice to the Company a desire to purchase Preemptive Securities in excess of their respective Pro
Rata Portions (it being understood that if more
than one 5% Class C Unit Holder elects to purchase more Preemptive Securities than remain available for sale, such
allocation shall be made among such 5% Class C Unit Holders pro rata in accordance with the Common Stock (calculated on an
as-converted basis) then held by each such applicable 5% Class C Unit Holder)); provided that no applicable 5% Class C
Unit Holder shall be required to purchase more Securities than the maximum number set forth in such Holder’s
irrevocable written notice. The General Partner may amend, modify or update Exhibit A to reflect the purchase by any
5% Class C Unit Holder of Securities in accordance with the terms of this Section ‎16.6. 


 




    	 	100	 



     


    

 


(b)          In
the event the 5% Class C Unit Holders do not purchase all such Preemptive Securities in accordance with the procedures set forth
in this Section ‎16.6, the Company shall have ninety (90) days after the expiration of the anticipated issuance date to sell
to other Persons (including any 5% Class C Unit Holder) the remaining Preemptive Securities at the price and on the terms and
conditions specified in the Preemptive Rights Notice. If the Company fails to sell such Securities within ninety (90) days of
the anticipated issuance date provided in the Preemptive Rights Notice, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any Equity
Securities without first offering such Equity Securities to each 5%
Class C Unit Holder in the manner provided in this Section ‎16.6. The General Partner may amend, modify or update Exhibit
A as necessary to reflect the purchase by any Person of Securities in accordance with the terms of this Section ‎16.6.


 


(c)          For
the avoidance of doubt, the preemptive rights described in this Section ‎16.6 are personal to the 5% Class C Unit Holders and,
if any 5% Class C Unit Holder does not exercise in full its preemptive rights under this Section ‎16.6, no 5% Class C Unit
Holder (other than another 5% Class C Unit Holder) shall have the right to purchase any additional Equity Securities as a consequence
of this Section ‎16.6.


 


16.7       Limitation
on Delivery of OP Units.


 


(a)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, OP Units shall not be deliverable in respect of the following at any time:


 


(i)          conversion
pursuant to Section 16.4(a) of Class C Units issued to  a Class C Unit Holder as PIK Distributions pursuant to Section ‎5.1(d),


 


(ii)         delivery
of the Class C Deferred Distribution Amount in respect of Class C Deferred Distribution Units pursuant to Section,


 


(iii)        16.5(e)


 


(iv)        conversion
pursuant to Section 16.4(a) of Class C Units, in respect of the portion of the Liquidation Preference attributable to any accrued
and unpaid Class C Cash Distribution Amounts, or


 


(v)        conversion
pursuant to Section 16.4(a) of Class C Units, in respect of the portion of the Liquidation Preference equal to the increase in
OP Units that would have been be received on an as-converted basis attributable to a decrease in the Conversion Price pursuant
to Section ‎16.4(d)(ii) through;


 


(vi)        16.4(d)(v)


 




    	 	101	 



     


    

 





if at the time of such issuance, delivery,
increase in Liquidation Preference, or decrease in Conversion Price, as the case may be, (x) the General Partner is a “loss
corporation” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, and (y) the Common Stock then otherwise (absent the application
of this Section ‎16.7) deliverable upon redemption of OP Units issuable on conversion
of such Class C Units, otherwise deliverable in respect of the Class C Deferred Distribution Amount of such Class C Deferred Distribution
Units, or attributable to the increase in the Liquidation Preference or decrease in the Conversion Price, when taken into
account together with the Redeemable Preferred Share, shares of Common Stock, the Common Stock then otherwise deliverable upon
redemption of OP Units, the Common Stock otherwise deliverable upon redemption of OP Units issuable on conversion of Class C Units
or in respect of a Class C Deferred Distribution Unit’s Class C Deferred Distribution Amount and other Equity Securities
of the General Partner or the Partnership held by all holders of such equity would otherwise (absent the application of this Section
‎16.7) cause the percentage of the stock of the General Partner owned by one or more
“5-percent shareholders” to have increased by more than 47 percentage points (or such higher amount as the General
Partner shall determine) over the lowest percentage of stock of the General Partner owned by such shareholders at any time during
the “testing period” within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code (such increase, a “Class C Unit Shift”). 
The General Partner shall have sole discretion to determine whether such Class C Units are convertible into OP Units pursuant
to the prior sentence absent manifest error.


 





(b)               
If a Class C Unit Shift would otherwise occur on account of transactions by any Class C Unit Holders in respect of Common
Stock, OP Units, Class C Units or other Equity Securities (including issuances of Class C Units pursuant to Follow-on Fundings),
unless the General Partner elects otherwise, an amount of the Liquidation Preference of Class C Units held by such Holder shall
be treated as subject to Section ‎16.7(a)(i), or an amount of the Class C Deferred Distribution
Amount of such Class C Units that are Class C Deferred Distribution Units shall be treated as subject to Section ‎16.7(a)(ii),
as the case may be, in each case, in the minimum amount that is required to cause no Class C Unit Shift to occur. Any Liquidation
Preference or Class C Deferred Distribution Amount subject to this Section ‎16.7(b) shall
additionally be subject to the provisions of Section ‎16.7(d).


 


(c)              
At the request of any Holder of Class C Units, the General Partner shall notify such Holder of the limitation on the delivery
of OP Units, if any, in respect of such Holder’s Class C Units determined pursuant to this Section 16.7.


 


(d)               
If a Holder of Class C Units would, but for this Section ‎16.7, be entitled to
receive an amount of OP Units pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Company shall, instead of delivering such OP Units,
pay to such Holder pursuant to this Section ‎16.7 an amount of cash equal to (x) in the
case of OP Units otherwise deliverable in respect of an amount of the Liquidation Preference of any Class C Units, an amount equal
to two times the amount of such Liquidation Preference, or (y) in the case of OP Units otherwise deliverable in respect of any
amount of the Class C Deferred Distribution Amount of any Class C Units, an amount equal to the amount of the Class C Liquidation
Preference Reduction Amount corresponding to such amount of the Class C Deferred Distribution Amount (which amount shall, for the
avoidance of doubt, be in addition to the amount paid pursuant to Section ‎16.5(d)).


 


(e)              
This Section ‎16.7 is intended to prevent an ownership change with respect to the
General Partner within the meaning of Section 382 of the Code, and shall be interpreted consistent with that intent.


 


Article
17


RIGHTS
OF THE SPECIAL GENERAL PARTNER


 


17.1       The
Special General Partner 


 


(a)          “Special
General Partner Interest” means the Partnership Interest which shall confer upon the Special General Partner only the rights
and obligations specifically provided in this ‎Article 17.


 


(i)          The
Special General Partner shall be a Partner of the Company that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of the Company
and has no right to receive any distributions of the Company assets (other than, if applicable, as a Limited Partner and Class
C Unit Holder).


 


(ii)         Except
as required by applicable law, the Special General Partner, in its capacity as Special General Partner, shall have no right except
during the Special General Partner Rights Period (as defined below) to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by,
or matter relating to, the Company, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of the Company.


 


(b)          The
Special General Partner Rights:


 




    	 	102	 



     


    

 


(i)          Beginning
on the date that is three (3) months after the occurrence of any Nonredemption Event and subject to Section  ‎17.1(b)(ix),
the Special General Partner shall have the sole and exclusive right to take the actions set forth below in this Section ‎17.1(b)
on behalf of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the General Partner shall not have any such rights (the “Special General
Partner Rights”).


 


(ii)         In
order to exercise the Special General Partner Rights, the Special General Partner shall, upon the occurrence of any Nonredemption
Event, notify the General Partner and all Limited Partners in writing, no later than three (3) months prior to the commencement
of the Special General Partner Rights Period (as defined below) of its intention to exercise such rights commencing on a date that
is no earlier than the date that is three (3) months after the occurrence of any Nonredemption Event. Such date shall commence
the “Special General Partner Rights Period.” Upon receipt of such notification, the General Partner and all Limited
Partners automatically relinquish until the termination of the Special General Partner Rights Period all management (in the case
of the General Partner) and voting (in the case of the General Partner and the Limited Partners) rights otherwise set forth herein
that would preclude the Special General Partner from exercising the Special General Partner Rights in its sole discretion and agree
that the Special General Partner shall possess all necessary authority and powers to execute and deliver all documentation necessary
or proper to exercise such rights.


 


(iii)        The
Special General Partner Rights Period shall terminate upon the date on which no Class C Units remain outstanding (due to the exercise
of conversion rights pursuant to Section ‎16.4 or otherwise). Upon such termination, the Special General Partner shall be deemed
to have automatically and irrevocably resigned from the Partnership according to the terms hereof with no further action required
hereunder and the Partnership shall continue without dissolution.


 


(iv)        During
the Special General Rights Period and subject to Section ‎17.1(b)(ix), the Special General Partner shall have the exclusive
right, power and authority in its sole and absolute discretion, (A) to sell the assets or Properties of the Company or the direct
or indirect interests of the Company in its Subsidiaries or cause the Company and each Subsidiary to sell all or any portion of
its assets for cash at such time or times as the Special General Partner in its sole discretion shall determine, upon engaging
a reputable, national third party sales broker or investment bank reasonably acceptable to holders of a majority of the then outstanding
Class C Units to effectuate such sale or sales by auction or similar process designed to maximize the sales price conducted by
such national sales broker or investment bank (and regardless of the benefits derived by the Special General Partner or the consequences
suffered by the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof by virtue of or from such sale or refinancing), provided that in
no event may the Special General Partner sell the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of the Properties to the Special General
Partner or an Affiliate of the Special General Partner or other Holder of a majority or more of the then outstanding Class C Units
or any Affiliate of any such Holder; (B) to cause the Company promptly to make any and all payments and/or distributions to the
Class C Unit Holders to the extent of any amounts then due or past due or that thereafter become payable pursuant to this Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, regardless of the impact of such payments or distributions on the Company or the General Partner;
and (C) to exercise the rights and powers granted to it pursuant to this ‎Article 17 including, without limitation, to take
(or cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take) all actions and make all decisions that are reasonably related to its
exercise of the foregoing remedies.


 




    	 	103	 



     


    

 


(v)         The
General Partner acknowledges and agrees that in exercising the authority granted to the Special General Partner in this ‎Article
17 and each other Transaction Document, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Special General Partner shall have no duty,
obligation or liability (fiduciary or otherwise) to the General Partner or any Affiliate thereof or any other Person whatsoever
(other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement), it being understood that the Special General Partner shall be entitled to
exercise such authority in any manner it deems necessary or desirable to maximize the value of its Affiliates’ investments
in the Company or to fulfill any other objectives of the Special General Partner.


 


(vi)        The
General Partner acknowledges and agrees that the authority granted to the Special General Partner in this ‎Article 17 was a
material inducement and condition precedent to the Initial Preferred LP’s willingness to make its investment in the Company,
and that the Initial Preferred LP would have refused to make its investment absent such authority.


 


(vii)       Any
reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Special General Partner in connection with the exercise of its rights
under this Article 17 (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include but not be limited to (A) the negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents and any other documents or matter as requested by the General Partner; (B) enforcing more preserving any
rights, in response to third-party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation in each
case against, under or affecting the Special General Partner, the Company, any Subsidiary, this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents or any Property; (C) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from the General Partner or the Company
under this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (including any modification, restructuring or work out related to the Transaction
Documents or the obligations they are under); and (D) to the extent not already covered by any of the other subclauses of this
sentence, fees and disbursements of counsel to the Special General Partner incurred in connection with the representation of the
Special General Partner in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding involving the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, neither the Special General Partner, nor any of its Affiliates shall
have the right to be reimbursed under clause (B) of the this sentence for the Special General Partner or its Affiliates’
own gross negligence, violation of law, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct).


 


(viii)      The
Special General Partner’s authority and rights pursuant to the preceding sentence are in addition to, and not in limitation
or to the exclusion of, the other Class C Rights held by Affiliates of the Special General Partner.


 


(ix)         During
the Special General Partner Rights Period, the Special General Partner shall not take any action without first obtaining any approval,
including the approval of the Stockholders, required by applicable Maryland law, as determined in good faith by the Board upon
the advice of counsel.


 


(x)          The
Special General Partner shall be entitled to the management, indemnification and liability provisions otherwise applicable to the
General Partner set forth in ‎Article 7 hereof.


 




    	 	104	 



     


    

 


(xi)         During
the Special General Partner Rights Period, the General Partner shall not take any action, except as determined in good faith by
the Board upon the advice of counsel to comply with applicable Maryland law including in connection with the sale of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, that would interfere with, obstruct, contravene, impede or otherwise limit
the ability of the Special General Partner to exercise the Special General Partner Rights, with the exception of any action necessary
to comply with Section ‎17.1(b)(ix) above.

Exhibit B


 


Allocations


 


1.          Allocations.


 


(a)          Allocations
of Net Income and Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, after giving effect to the special allocations
in subparagraphs 1(b) and paragraph 2, Net Income, Net Loss, and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income,
gain, credit, loss and deduction comprising Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable
period shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner determined in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner will, as
nearly as possible cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other applicable period
to equal (i) the amount of the distributions (other than distributions that are required by applicable law to be treated as
“guaranteed payments”) that would be made to such Partner pursuant to Section ‎13.2(a)(iii) of the Agreement
(other than distributions that would properly be treated as “guaranteed payments”) if the Class C Deferred Distribution
Amounts with respect to any Partners holding Class C Deferred Distribution Units were delivered, the Partnership were dissolved,
its affairs wound up and its assets were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, taking into account any adjustments thereto
for such period, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied in full in cash according to their terms (limited with respect to each
nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and Net Sales Proceeds (after satisfaction
of such liabilities) were distributed in full in accordance with Section ‎13.2(a)(iii) to the Partners immediately after
making such allocations, minus (ii) the sum of such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain and the amount, if any and without duplication, that the Partner would be obligated to contribute to the capital
of the Partnership, all computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.


 


(b)          Special
Allocations.


 


(i)          General
Partner Gross Income Allocation. After giving effect to the special allocations in paragraph 2 but prior to any allocations
under subparagraph 1(a), there shall be specially allocated to the General Partner (i) first, items of Partnership income
and (ii) second, items of Partnership gain during each fiscal year or other applicable period in an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of (A) the cumulative distributions made to the General Partner under Section ‎7.3(b) of the Agreement,
other than distributions which would properly be treated as “guaranteed payments” or which are attributable to the
reimbursement of expenses which would properly be either deductible by the Partnership or added to the tax basis of any Partnership
asset, over (B) the cumulative allocations of Partnership income and gain to the General Partner under this subparagraph 1(b)(i).


 




    	 	B–1	 



     


    

 


(ii)         Class
C Unit Gross Income Allocation. After giving effect to the special allocations in paragraph 2 and subparagraph 1(b)(i), unless
the General Partner determines otherwise in order to comply with the requirements of subparagraph 1(a) in respect of the Class
C Units (excluding the Class C Deferred Distribution Amounts), there shall be specially allocated to the Holders of Class
C Units items of Partnership income and gain during each fiscal year or other applicable period in an amount equal to the excess,
if any, of (A) the sum of (x) the cumulative cash distributions paid with respect to such Class C Units pursuant to Sections ‎5.1(a)
and ‎(c), and (y) the Liquidation Preference of such Class C Units, other than distributions or amounts of such Liquidation
Preference which would properly be treated as “guaranteed payments” when paid, over (B) the sum of (x) the Stated Value
of such Class C Units, and (y) the cumulative allocations of Partnership income and gain to such Holder under this subparagraph 1(b)(ii).
This subparagraph 1(b)(ii) is intended to describe the application of subparagraph 1(a) to the Class C Units, and the General Partner
shall have discretion not to make such allocations, or to make such other allocations to the Class C Units, as is necessary to
comply with subparagraph 1(a).


 


2.          Regulatory
Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit B, the following special allocations
shall be made.


 


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


 


(b)          Partner
Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, if there is a
net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated
items of Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner’s
share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain to the extent and in the manner required by Section 1.704-2(i) of
the Regulations. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2) of
the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(b) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect
to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations
pursuant to this subparagraph 2(b) shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to
each Partner pursuant hereto.


 




    	 	B–2	 



     


    

 


(c)          Qualified
Income Offset. If a Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4),
(5) or (6) of the Regulations, and such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income
(including gross income) and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate
the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible as required by the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(c) is
intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations
and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


(d)          Nonrecourse
Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance
with their respective Percentage Interests.


 


(e)          Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period with respect to a Partner
Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse
Debt (as determined under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations).


 


(f)          Section 754
Adjustment. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Section 734(b) of
the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1 (b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations,
to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, 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 among the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their respective
Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section of the Regulations.


 


(g)          Gross
Income Allocation. If any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year or other applicable
period which is in excess of the amount such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections
1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income
(including gross income) and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to
this subparagraph 2(g) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit in excess of such amount after all other allocations provided for under this Agreement have been tentatively made as if
subparagraph 2(c) and this subparagraph 2(g) were not in this Agreement.


 


3.          Curative
Allocations. The General Partner is authorized to offset all Regulatory Allocations either with other Regulatory Allocations
or with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this paragraph 3. Therefore,
notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit B (other than the Regulatory Allocations and Tax Allocations),
the General Partner shall make such offsetting allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner the
General Partner determines appropriate so that, after such offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account
balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations
were not part of this Agreement.


 




    	 	B–3	 



     


    

 


4.          Tax
Allocations.


 


(a)          Items
of Income or Loss. Except as is otherwise provided in this Exhibit B, an allocation of Partnership Net Income or
Net Loss to a Partner shall be treated as an allocation to such Partner of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction
and item of tax-exempt income or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure (or item treated as such expenditure pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) of
the Regulations) (“Tax Items”) that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net Loss.


 


(b)          Section 1245/1250
Recapture. Subject to subparagraph 4(c) below, if any portion of gain from the sale of Partnership assets is treated
as gain which is ordinary income by virtue of the application of Sections 1245 or 1250 of the Code or is gain described in Section 1(h)(1)(D) of
the Code (“Affected Gain”), then such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion
that the depreciation and amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated. This subparagraph 4(b) shall
not alter the amount of Net Income (or items thereof) allocated among the Partners, but merely the character of such Net Income
(or items thereof). For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions
for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income and
Net Loss for such respective period.


 


(c)          Precontribution
Gain, Revaluations. With respect to any Contributed Property, the Partnership shall use any permissible method contained in
the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code selected by the General Partner, in its sole discretion,
to take into account any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset and the fair market value of such asset as of the time
of the contribution (“Precontribution Gain”). Each Partner hereby agrees to report income, gain, loss and deduction
on such Partner’s federal income tax return in a manner consistent with the method used by the Partnership. If any asset
has a Gross Asset Value which is different from the Partnership’s adjusted basis for such asset for federal income tax purposes
because the Partnership has revalued such asset pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, the allocations
of Tax Items shall be made in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations and the
methods of allocation promulgated thereunder; provided, that the Partnership shall adopt the “remedial allocation
method” in respect of any difference between the Gross Asset Value and the Partnership’s adjusted basis in an asset
arising from the revaluation of such asset pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations in accordance with Section
‎10.6(a) of the Agreement in connection with the issuance of Class C Units for cash. The intent of this subparagraph 4(c) is
that each Partner who contributed to the capital of the Partnership a Contributed Property will bear, through reduced allocations
of depreciation, increased allocations of gain or other items, the tax detriments associated with any Precontribution Gain. This
subparagraph 4(c) is to be interpreted consistently with such intent.


 


(d)          Excess
Nonrecourse Liability Safe Harbor. Pursuant to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, solely for purposes of determining
each Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership (as defined in
Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations), the Partners’ respective interests in Partnership profits shall be determined
under any permissible method reasonably determined by the General Partner; provided, however, that each Partner who has contributed
an asset to the Partnership shall be allocated, to the extent possible, a share of “excess nonrecourse liabilities”
of the Partnership which results in such Partner being allocated nonrecourse liabilities in an amount which is at least equal to
the amount of income pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Liability
Shortfall”). If there is an insufficient amount of nonrecourse liabilities to allocate to each Partner an amount of nonrecourse
liabilities equal to the Liability Shortfall, then an amount of nonrecourse liabilities in proportion to, and to the extent of,
the Liability Shortfall shall be allocated to each Partner.


 




    	 	B–4	 



     


    

 


(e)          References
to Regulations. Any reference in this Exhibit B or the Agreement to a provision of proposed and/or temporary Regulations
shall, if such provision is modified or renumbered, be deemed to refer to the successor provision as so modified or renumbered,
but only to the extent such successor provision applies to the Partnership under the effective date rules applicable to such successor
provision.


 


(f)          Successor
Partners. For purposes of this Exhibit B, a transferee of a Partnership Interest shall be deemed to have been allocated
the Net Income, Net Loss and other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to the transferred Partnership
Interest that previously have been allocated to the transferor Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

Article

REGISTRATION RIGHTS


 


Section
2.01.         Registrations.


 


(a)          Registration
Requests. If at any time there are outstanding Registrable Securities, any of (i) Brookfield, (ii) Holders of a majority of
the outstanding Registrable Securities (the “Demanding Holders”), (iii) the Advisor, or (iv) the Property Manager
may from time to time and at any time make a written request to the Company for Registration of all or part of the Registrable
Securities held by them (i) on a Demand Registration Statement (a “Demand Request”) at any time the Company
is only eligible to use Form S-11 or S-1 or any similar long-form Registration Statement or (ii) on a Shelf Registration Statement
(a “Shelf Request”) at any time the Company is qualified to use Form S-3 or any similar short-form registration
statement. Any Demand Registration Statement or Shelf Registration Statement shall be for the registered resale of Registrable
Securities by their Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Holders and set forth
therein. So long as a Shelf Registration Statement is effective with respect to any Registrable Securities, no Request pursuant
to this Section 2.01 shall be made with respect to such Registrable Securities.


 


(b)          Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c) and (e), promptly upon receiving any Request requiring the Company to file a Registration
Statement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement relating to such Request (i) in the
case of a Demand Registration Statement, within sixty (60) days after receipt of a Demand Request for such Registration and (ii)
in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, within thirty (30) days after receipt of a Request for such Registration, and shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly
as practicable after the filing thereof with the SEC. No Registration shall be deemed to have been effected if (i) during the Demand
Period or Shelf Period such Registration is interfered with by any stop order injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC
or other governmental agency or court or (ii) the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered
into in connection with such Registration are not satisfied other than by reason of a wrongful act, misrepresentation or breach
of such applicable underwriting agreement by a Holder.


 


(c)          Limitation
on Registrations. Brookfield and the Demanding Holders shall collectively have the right to make up to three (3) Requests
in any twelve (12) month period. The Advisor and the Property Manager shall, collectively, have the right to make one (1) Request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing (and unless otherwise consented to by the Board), (i) Brookfield, the Advisor, the Property Manager
and the Demanding Holders may collectively make no more than (A) three (3) Requests in any twelve (12) month period or (B) more
than one (1) Request in any three (3) month period and (ii) in no event shall the Company be required to file more than three
(3) Registration Statements in any twelve (12) month period.


 




    	 	7	 



     


    

 





(d)          Reduction
Securities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that the SEC limits the amount of Registrable
Securities that may be included and sold by Holders in any Registration Statement, including any Shelf Registration Statement
or Demand Registration Statement, pursuant to Rule 415 or any other basis, the Company may reduce the number of Registrable Securities
included in such Registration Statement on behalf of the Holders in whole or in part (in case of an exclusion as to a portion
of such Registrable Securities, such portion shall be allocated pro rata among such Holders in proportion to the respective numbers
of Registrable Securities represented by Shares requested to be registered by each such Holder over the total amount of Registrable
Securities represented by Shares) (such Registrable Securities, the “Reduction Securities”); provided,
however, that prior to making any such reduction, the Company shall be obligated to use its reasonable best efforts to
advocate with the SEC for the Registration of all of the Registrable Securities. In such event the Company shall give the Holders
prompt notice of the number of such Reduction Securities excluded and the Company will not be liable for any damages under this
Agreement in connection with the exclusion of such Reduction Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts at
the first opportunity that is permitted by the SEC to Register for resale the Reduction Securities. Such new Registration Statement
shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to Register for resale the Reduction Securities on Form S-3,
in which case such Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form for such purpose). The Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to cause each such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible,
and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities
Act during the entire Demand Period or Shelf Period, as applicable.


 


(e)          Delay
in Filing; Suspension of Registration. If a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that
the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration Statement at any
time would (i) render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws, (ii) require the inclusion or filing of financial
statements under Rules 3-05 or 3-14 or Article 11 under the Securities Act with respect to an acquisition at a significance level
of greater than 50% that the Company is reasonably unable to include or file at such time or (iii) require the Company to make
an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial
effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement (a “Suspension”); provided, however,
that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Suspension for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days
on any one occasion or an aggregate of ninety (90) days in any twelve (12) month period, and in any case not more than three (3)
times in any twelve (12) month period. In the case of a Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus
in connection with any sale or purchase, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred
to above, and agree to keep the fact of any Suspension strictly confidential. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders
upon the termination of any Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement
or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may
reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement that is subject
to a Suspension, if required by the Securities Act, including the undertakings required to be included in any Registration Statement
pursuant to Item 512 of Regulation S-K.

Section
2.02.         Demand Registration.


 


(a)          Demand
Registration. Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the kind and aggregate amount of Registrable Securities
to be Registered and the intended methods of disposition thereof.


 


(b)          Demand
Notice. Promptly upon receipt of any Demand Request on a date on which the Company is not eligible to file a Shelf Registration
Statement (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Demand
Notice”) of any such Registration request to all other Holders, and the Company shall include in such Demand Registration
Statement all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein
within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Demand Notice has been delivered. All requests made pursuant to this Section
2.02(b) shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of distribution of
such securities. If any Holder does not deliver a notice within five (5) Business Days after the delivery of the Demand Notice,
such Holder shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any and all rights under this Section 2.02 with respect to such Registration
(but not with respect to future Registrations in accordance with this Section 2.02(b)).


 


(c)          Demand
Withdrawal. Any Holder that has requested its Registrable Securities be included in a Demand Registration pursuant to Sections
2.02(a) or 2.02(b), may withdraw all or any portion of its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration by providing written
notice to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement
or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering.
The Company shall continue its reasonable best efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement
in respect of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder that has requested inclusion in the Demand Registration Statement
pursuant to Section 2.02(a) or 2.02(b) so long as the Initiating Holder has not withdrawn all of its Registrable Securities to
be included in such Demand Registration Statement; provided, however, if the Initiating Holder has requested for
all of its Registrable Securities to be withdrawn from such Demand Registration Statement, the Company shall immediately cease
all efforts to secure effectiveness of the applicable Demand Registration Statement, even if one or more other Holders have requested
for Registrable Securities to be included in such applicable Demand Request pursuant to Section 2.02(b) and such withdrawn Demand
Registration Statement shall not count towards the limitation on Registration Statements set forth in Section 2.01(c).


 


(d)          Effective
Registration. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective
by the SEC and to remain effective for not less than one hundred eighty (180) days (or such shorter period as shall terminate
when all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement have been sold or withdrawn) (the applicable period,
the “Demand Period”).


 




    	 	9	 



     


    

 


Section
2.03.         Shelf Registration.


 


(a)          Filing.


 


(i)          Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01(c) and (e), if a Shelf Request is made, the Company shall1
file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the offer
and sale by Holders from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Initiating Holder and set
forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and, as promptly practicable thereafter, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act. Each Shelf Request shall specify the kind
of Registrable Securities to be Registered, the intended methods of disposition thereof and, unless the Company is a WKSI at the
time of such Shelf Request, the aggregate amount thereof. At any time prior to or after the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement,
a Holder may request, which request shall be deemed a Shelf Request for purposes of Section 2.01(c), that the number of its Registrable
Securities previously requested to be registered on such Shelf Registration Statement be increased to a larger number of its Registrable
Securities and the Company shall thereafter use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to effect
such increase for such Shelf Registration Statement as promptly as practicable thereafter, which actions may include causing a
post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to be filed or filing a new Shelf Registration Statement; provided,
that such requests by any Holder and such filings by the Company shall be subject to the limitations of Section 2.01(c). If, on
the date of any such request, the Company does not qualify to file a Shelf Registration Statement under the Securities Act, such
request shall be deemed to be a Demand Request for purposes of Section 2.01(c) and the Company’s obligations under Section
2.02 shall apply with respect to such request.


 


(ii)         If,
on the date of the Shelf Request, the Company is a WKSI, then the Holders should be permitted to include in such Shelf Request
an unspecified amount of Registrable Securities. The Company shall provide to the Holders the information necessary to determine
the Company’s status as a WKSI upon request.


 


(b)          Continued
Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective
under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Holders until such date as all
Registrable Securities covered thereby cease to be Registrable Securities (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”).

(c)          Shelf
Notice. Promptly upon receipt of a Shelf Request pursuant to Section 2.03(a) (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days
thereafter), the Company shall deliver a written notice (a “Shelf Notice”) of the receipt of such request, describing
it in reasonable detail, to all other Holders. If the Company is not a WKSI, the Company shall offer each such Holder the opportunity
to include in the Shelf Registration Statement the number of Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received
written requests for inclusion therein within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Shelf Notice has been delivered. If
any such Holder receiving the Shelf Notice does not deliver a notice within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Shelf
Notice has been delivered, such Holder shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any and all right under this Section 2.03with
respect to such Registration (but not with respect to future Registrations in accordance with this Section 2.03). If the Company
is a WKSI, no Holder shall be required to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement until
such time that the Company delivers a WKSI Takedown Request in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section
2.03(d) hereunder.


 


(d)          WKSI
Takedown. In the event that the Company is a WKSI and has filed a Shelf Registration Statement registering an unspecified amount
of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), an offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration
Statement may be initiated at any time and from time to time during the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, by notice
to the Company specifying the intended method or methods of disposition thereof, by written request of an Initiating Holder to
the Company (each, a “WKSI Takedown Request”) to effect a public offering of all or a portion of an Initiating
Holder’s Registrable Securities that are covered or will be covered by such Shelf Registration Statement. As soon as practicable
after the receipt of a WKSI Takedown Request the Company shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as necessary
for such purpose. For the avoidance of doubt, a WKSI Takedown Request with respect to an Underwritten Offering and shall be subject
to the procedures, conditions and restrictions set forth in Section 2.07(a).


 


(e)          Distributions
of Registrable Securities to Partners or Members. In the event any Holder requests to participate in a Registration pursuant
to this Section 2.03 in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities to its partners or members, the Registration shall
provide for resale by such partners or members, if requested by the Holder and provided such Registrable Securities have been assigned
to such partners or members in accordance with Section 3.04 in connection with such distribution.

Section
2.04.         Piggyback Registration.


 


(a)          Participation.
Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.01, if the Company at any time proposes to file a Registration Statement under
the Securities Act with respect to any offering of any equity securities of the Company or Opco for the account of the Company
or Opco or for the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration under Sections 2.01, 2.02 or 2.03, (ii) a
Registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such Forms, (iii) in connection with an “at-the-market” equity
distribution program or dividend reinvestment program or (iv) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering
and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement)
(a “Company Public Sale”), then, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall give written notice of
such proposed filing to the Holders, and such notice shall offer the Holders the opportunity to Register under such Registration
Statement such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”).
Subject to Section 2.07(c), the Company shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities that are requested
to be included therein within five (5) days after the receipt by such Holders of any such notice; provided that if at any
time after giving written notice of its intention to Register or sell any securities, and prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement filed in connection with such Registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to Register or sell or to
delay Registration or sale of such securities, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to each Holder and,
thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to Register or sell, shall be relieved of its obligation to Register or
sell any Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses
in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of Brookfield, the Advisor, the Property Manager or the Demanding
Holders to request that such Registration be effected as a Demand Registration under Section 2.01 or an Underwritten Offering,
as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registering or selling, in the absence of a Demand Request
or a request with respect to a Underwritten Offering, shall be permitted to delay Registering or selling any Registrable Securities,
for the same period as the delay in Registering or selling such other securities.


 


(b)          Withdrawal.
Each Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities in a Company Public Sale (other than in an
Underwritten Offering, in which case Section 2.07(f) shall apply) by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw;
provided, that (i) such request must be made in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such
Registration Statement and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, the Holder shall no longer
have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Company Public Sale as to which such withdrawal was made.


 


Section
2.05.         Black-out Periods.


 


(a)          Black-out
Periods for Holders. In the event of a Company Public Sale of the Company’s equity securities in an Underwritten Offering,
the Holders agree, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering, not to effect any public
sale or distribution of any securities (except, in each case, as part of the applicable Registration, if permitted) that are the
same as or similar to those being Registered in connection with such Company Public Sale, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven (7) days before and ending ninety (90) days
(or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Company or such managing underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date
of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, to the extent timely notified in writing by the Company
or the managing underwriter or underwriters; provided, however, such restrictions shall not apply to (i) distributions-in-kind
to a Holder’s partners or members but only if such partners or members agree to be bound by the restrictions therein; and
(ii) transfers to Affiliates for so long as they remain Affiliates, but only if such Affiliates agree to be bound by the restrictions
herein as a Permitted Assignee pursuant to Section 3.04.


 




    	 	12	 



     


    

 


(b)          Black-out
Period for the Company and Others. In the case of an Underwritten Offering for Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.07(a),
the Company and the Holders agree, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to such Registration,
not to effect any public sale or distribution of any securities that are the same as or similar to those being Registered, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven (7) days before,
and ending ninety (90) days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by such managing underwriter or underwriters) after, the
effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration (or, in the case of an offering under a
Shelf Registration Statement, the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement in connection therewith), to the extent
timely notified in writing by the managing underwriter or underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect a
public sale or distribution of securities of the type described above and during the periods described above if such sale or distribution
is made pursuant to any Registration of securities for offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any
employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
from (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, any such holder holds more than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares, each holder
of restricted securities of the Company which securities are the same as or similar to the Registrable Securities being Registered,
or any restricted securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such securities, and (ii) all directors
and executive officers of the Company, an agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities during any
such period referred to in this paragraph, except as part of any such Registration, if permitted. Without limiting the foregoing
(but subject to Section 2.08), if after the date hereof the Company grants any Person (other than a Holder) any rights to demand
or participate in a Registration, the Company agrees that the agreement with respect thereto shall include such Person’s
agreement to comply with any black-out period required by this Section 2.05 as if it were a Holder hereunder.


 


Section
2.06.         Registration Procedures.


 


(a)          In
connection with the Company’s obligations under Sections 2.01, 2.02, 2.03 and 2.04, the Company shall use its reasonable
best efforts to effect any Registration and to permit the sale of any Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method
or methods of distribution thereof as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, and in connection therewith the Company shall:


 


(i)          prepare
the required Registration Statement including all exhibits and financial statements required under the Securities Act to be filed
therewith, and before filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (x) furnish
to the underwriters, if any, and to Participating Holders, copies of all documents prepared to be filed, which documents shall
be subject to the review of such underwriters and such Holders and their respective counsel; (y) except in the case of a Registration
under Section 2.04, not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto to which the underwriters
(if any) shall reasonably object; and (z) make such changes in such documents concerning the Holders prior to the filing thereof
as such Holders, or their counsel, may reasonably request;




    	 	13	 



     


    

 


(ii)         prepare
and file with the SEC such pre- and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement and supplements to the Prospectus
as may be (x) reasonably requested by any Participating Holder (to the extent such request relates to information relating
to such Holder) or (y) necessary to keep such Registration effective for such period as required by Section 2.02(d) or Section
2.03(b), whichever is applicable, and comply with provisions of the applicable securities laws with respect to the sale or other
disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended method
or methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;


 


(iii)        notify
the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and (if requested) confirm such advice in writing
and provide copies of the relevant documents, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Company
(a) when the applicable Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective, and when the
applicable Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to such Prospectus has been filed, (b) of any written comments by the
SEC or any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration
Statement or such Prospectus or for additional information, (c) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any order by the SEC or any other regulatory authority preventing or suspending
the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes and (d) of
the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities
for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;


 


(iv)        promptly
notify the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, when the Company becomes aware of the happening
of any event as a result of which the applicable Registration Statement or the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement
(as then in effect) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
therein (in the case of such Prospectus and any preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made)
not misleading, when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in
the Registration Statement, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such time period to amend or supplement such
Registration Statement or Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly as reasonably practicable
thereafter, prepare and file with the SEC, and furnish without charge to the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter
or underwriters, if any, an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or Prospectus which shall correct such misstatement
or omission or effect such compliance;


 


(v)         to
the extent the Company is eligible under the relevant provisions of Rule 430B under the Securities Act, if the Company files any
Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall include in such Shelf Registration Statement such disclosures as may be required
by Rule 430B under the Securities Act (referring to the unnamed selling security holders in a generic manner by identifying the
initial offering of the securities to the Holders) in order to ensure that the Holders may be added to such Shelf Registration
Statement at a later time through the filing of a Prospectus supplement rather than a post-effective amendment;


 




    	 	14	 



     


    

 


(vi)        use
its reasonable best efforts to prevent, or obtain the withdrawal of, any stop order or other order suspending the use of any preliminary
or final Prospectus;

be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement;


 


(viii)      furnish
to each Participating Holder and each underwriter, if any, without charge, as many conformed copies as such Holder or underwriter

including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including those
incorporated by reference);


 


(ix)         deliver

underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto) and such other documents as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate
the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder or underwriter, it being understood that the Company consents to the
use of such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by such Participating Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection
with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto;


 


(x)          on
or prior to the date on which the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective, use its reasonable best efforts to register
or qualify, and cooperate with the Participating Holders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective
counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as any Participating Holder or managing
underwriter or underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or
things reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect for such period as required by Section
2.02(d) or Section 2.03(b), whichever is applicable, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally
to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to taxation or
general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject;

(xvii)     in the
case of an Underwritten Offering, (a) obtain for delivery to the Company and the managing underwriter or underwriters, with copies

the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies
then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of
such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the period during which the applicable Registration Statement
is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of
the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement
either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.06(a)(iv) or is advised in writing
by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.


 


(d)          To
the extent that Brookfield, the Advisor or the Property Manager or any of their Affiliates, as applicable, is deemed to be an underwriter
of Registrable Securities pursuant to any SEC comments or policies or otherwise, the Company agrees that (1) the indemnification

Section
2.07.         Underwritten Offerings.


 


(a)          Underwritten
Offering Requests. Upon the written request of any Initiating Holder from time to time for an Underwritten Offering under a
Registration Statement filed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (an “Underwritten Offering Request”),
the Company shall (A) promptly give written notice of such Underwritten Offering Request to the other Holders and (B) cooperate
with such Initiating Holder and any underwriter, as well as any other Holders that have requested that their Registrable Securities
be included in such Underwritten Offering within two (2) Business Days after receiving the notice from the Company in clause (A)
above, in effecting an Underwritten Offering under any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as promptly as reasonably
practicable following receipt of such Underwritten Offering Request; provided, however, that (x) all Holders shall
not be entitled to make in the aggregate more than three (3) Underwritten Offering Requests that result in priced Underwritten
Offerings in any twelve (12) month period; and (y) any such Initiating Holder may withdraw or abandon the Underwritten Offering
Request at any time prior to any Underwritten Offering becoming priced. Each Underwritten Offering Request will specify the number
of Registrable Securities proposed by the Holder to be included in such Underwritten Offering, the intended method of distribution
and the estimated gross proceeds of such Underwritten Offering, which may not be less than $50,000,000. If requested by the underwriters
for any Underwritten Offering, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering,
such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the Initiating Holder and the underwriters,
and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements
of that type, including indemnities no less favorable to the recipient thereof than those provided in Section 2.10. Participating
Holders shall cooperate with the Company in the negotiation and shall give consideration to the reasonable suggestions of the Company
regarding the form thereof. Such Holders shall be parties to such underwriting agreement, which underwriting agreement shall (i)
contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of
such Holders as are customarily made by issuers to selling stockholders in secondary underwritten public offerings and (ii) provide
that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement also shall
be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders. Such Holders shall not be required to make any representations or warranties
to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holders,
such Holder’s title to the Registrable Securities, such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representations
required to be made by such Holder under applicable law, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Holder shall not exceed
such Holder’s net proceeds from such Underwritten Offering.


 




    	 	19	 



     


    

 


(b)          Priority.


 


(i)          Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section 2.07, in the case of an Underwritten Offering pursuant to an Underwritten Offering Request,
if the managing underwriter or underwriters of an Underwritten Offering advise the selling Holders that, in its or their opinion,
the number of securities requested to be included in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such Underwritten
Offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered
or the market for the securities offered, the securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering (i) first, shall be allocated
to the Initiating Holder and, if the Demanding Holders are the Initiating Holder, pro rata among the Demanding Holders that
have requested to participate in such Underwritten Offering based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by
each such Holder (provided that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated
among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner) and (ii) next, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i)
have been included, the number of securities that the Company and any other Holder that has a right to participate in such Underwritten
Offering proposes to include in such Underwritten Offering that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter or underwriters can
be sold without having such adverse effect.


 


(ii) The Company will have the right to
delay an Underwritten Offering by an Initiating Holder following receipt of an Underwritten Offering Request if the Company, not
more than 30 days prior to receipt of such request indicated intent (either by (i) circulating to prospective underwriters and
their counsel a draft of a Registration Statement for a primary offering of equity securities of the Company, (ii) soliciting bids
for a primary offering of equity securities of the Company, or (iii) otherwise reaching an understanding with an underwriter with
respect to a primary offering of equity securities of the Company), and intends to effect its own Underwritten Offering by giving
the Initiating Holder written notice of such intent (a “Stand-Down Notice”), whereby the Company’s obligation
to cooperate with the Initiating Holder and any underwriter in effecting an Underwritten Offering shall be suspended until the
later of the Resumption Date (as defined below) and the expiration of any lock-up agreement required to be entered into by the
Initiating Holder pursuant to Section 2.05; provided, however, that (x) the Company will not be entitled to deliver
a Stand-Down Notice in respect of an Underwritten Offering Request later than 5 p.m. New York time on the third (3rd) Business
Day following receipt of such Underwritten Offering Request; (y) the Company will not be entitled to more than one (1) Stand-Down
Notice in any twelve (12) month period; and (z) the Company will be deemed to have rescinded the Stand-Down Notice automatically,
whereby the Company’s obligation to cooperate with the Initiating Holder and any underwriter in effecting an Underwritten
Offering shall resume, if (I) the Launch Date in respect of the Company’s Underwritten Offering has not occurred by the end
of the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date of the Underwritten Offering Request or (II) the Company’s Underwritten Offering
has not been priced by the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Launch Date (the date following automatic rescission of
a Stand-Down Notice pursuant to either clause (I) and clause (II) above, a “Resumption Date”). The Holders acknowledge
and agree that the receipt of any Stand-Down Notice may constitute material non-public information regarding the Company and shall
keep the existence and contents of any Stand-Down Notice confidential.

(c)          Piggyback
Registrations. In connection with any Underwritten Offering of shares of the Company’s equity Securities pursuant to
Section 2.04, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering unless such
selling Holders accept the terms of the Underwritten Offering as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters. In connection
with any proposed Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Registration pursuant to Section 2.04,
if the managing underwriter or underwriters of such proposed Underwritten Offering informs the Company in writing (a copy of which
shall be provided to the Holders) that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities which such Holders and any other Persons
intend to include in such Underwritten Offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such Underwritten Offering without being
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the
securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Underwritten Offering shall be allocated (i) first, 100% of
the securities proposed to be sold in such Underwritten Offering by the Company or (subject to Section 2.08) any Person (other
than a Holder) exercising a contractual right to demand Registration, as the case may be, proposes to sell, and (ii) second,
and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the
opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect, with such number to be allocated
pro rata among the Holders that have requested to participate in such Underwritten Offering based on the relative number
of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (provided that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed
such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner) and (iii) third, and only
if all of the Registrable Securities referred to in clause (ii) have been included in such Underwritten Offering, any other securities
eligible for inclusion in such Underwritten Offering.


 


(d)          Participation
in Underwritten Registrations. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.07(a) and Section 2.07(c) above and this Section 2.07(d),
no Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities
on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (ii) promptly
completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required
under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.


 


(e)          Underwriters,
Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an Underwritten Offering under Section 2.07(a), the price, underwriting discount
and other financial terms for the Registrable Securities shall be determined in good faith by the Initiating Holder, and the Initiating
Holder shall have the right to select one or more underwriters for such Underwritten Offering; provided, that any underwriter must
be approved by the Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the case of any Underwritten
Offering under Section 2.04, the Company shall have the sole right to determine the underwriters and all other matters affecting
the Underwritten Offering, including the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms of the Underwritten Offering.


 


(f)          Withdrawal.
In the case of any Underwritten Offering under Section 2.07(a) or 2.04, each of the Holders may withdraw all or part of their Registrable
Securities from such Underwritten Offering any Holder may elect to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from such
Underwritten Offering by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw; provided, that (i) such request
must be made in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to the earlier of the anticipated Launch Date and the anticipated
pricing or trade date of such Underwritten Offering and (ii) such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal,
the Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the Underwritten Offering as to which such withdrawal
was made.

Section
2.08.         No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter
enter into, and, following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Framework Agreement, is not currently a party to,
any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement.


 


Section
2.09.         Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s
performance of or compliance with this Agreement shall be paid by the Company, including (i) all registration and filing fees,
and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the SEC or FINRA, (ii) all fees and expenses in
connection with compliance with any securities or “Blue Sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel
for the underwriters in connection with blue sky qualifications of the Registrable Securities), (iii) expenses in connection with
the preparation, printing, mailing and delivery of any Registration Statements, Prospectuses, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and
other documents in connection therewith and any amendments or supplements thereto and expenses of printing certificates for the
Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company, (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel
for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company and any subsidiaries of the Company (including
the expenses of any special audit and cold comfort letters required by or incident to such performance), (v) Securities Act liability
insurance or similar insurance if the Company so desires or the underwriters so require in accordance with then customary underwriting
practice (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the listing of the Registrable Securities on any securities exchange
or quotation of the Registrable Securities on any inter-dealer quotation system, (vii) all reasonable and documented fees and disbursements
of one legal counsel for Brookfield and, if Brookfield is not the Initiating Holder, the Initiating Holder, not to exceed $100,000
in the aggregate for all jurisdictions in connection with the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or any Underwritten Offering,
(viii) any reasonable fees and disbursements of underwriters customarily paid by issuers or sellers of securities, (ix) all fees
and expenses of any special experts or other Persons retained by the Company in connection with any Registration; (x) all of the
Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting
duties); and (xi) if the underwriter for any Underwritten Offering reasonably determines a “road show” is necessary,
all expenses incurred by the Company related to the road show for such Underwritten Offering, and all reasonable and documented
out of pocket expenses of Brookfield and, if Brookfield is not the Initiating Holder, the Initiating Holder to the extent, but
only to the extent, the managing underwriter explicitly requests the participation of either Brookfield or the Initiating Holder
in such road show, including all travel, meals and lodging of the Company. All such expenses are referred to herein as “Registration
Expenses.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any Registration Expenses in connection
with any Registration begun pursuant to Sections 2.02 or 2.03(a) if the applicable request is subsequently withdrawn at the request
of the Initiating Holder (in which case the Initiating Holder shall bear such expenses), unless the Holders agree to forfeit their
right to one Registration provided for in Section 2.01(c). The Company shall not be required to pay underwriting discounts and
commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

Section
2.10.         Indemnification.


 


(a)          Indemnification
by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder, each member,
limited or general partner thereof, each member, limited or general partner of each such member, limited or general partner, each
of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls
(within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives from and
against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including
reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”)
arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement
under which such Registrable Securities were Registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus
contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or any other
disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including, without limitation, reports and
other documents filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or (iii) any actions or inactions or proceedings in respect of
the foregoing whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to
any particular indemnified party (A) to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by an indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation thereof
or (B) to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or omission in a preliminary Prospectus
relating to Registrable Securities, if a Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) that would have cured the defect was furnished
to the indemnified party from whom the Person asserting the claim giving rise to such Loss purchased Registrable Securities prior
to the written confirmation of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person and a copy of such Prospectus (as amended
and supplemented) was not sent or given by or on behalf of such indemnified party to such Person at or prior to the written confirmation
of the sale of the Registrable Securities to such Person. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may
otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.


 




    	 	23	 



     


    

 


(b)          Indemnification
by the Participating Holders. Each Participating Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within
the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from(i) any untrue statement of a
material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were Registered under the Securities Act (including
any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents
incorporated by reference therein), or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made) not misleading, in each case, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is
contained in any information furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration
Statement and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities
to the Person asserting the claim. In no event shall the liability of such Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar
amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification
obligation less any amounts paid by such Participating Holder pursuant to Section 2.10(d) and any amounts paid by such Holder as
a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale. The Company shall be entitled
to receive indemnities from underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating
in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to information furnished
in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement.


 


(c)          Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the
indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify
the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it
is prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall
have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees
or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after receipt
of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
Person, (C) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses
available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party,
or (D) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist between
such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party
in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense,
the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified
party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of
such indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If such defense is not assumed by
the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify
the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. It is understood that the
indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 2.10(c), in connection with any proceeding
or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than
one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel
has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on
the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available
to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an
indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party
shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.


 




    	 	24	 



     


    

 


(d)          Contribution.  
If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.10 is unavailable to an indemnified
party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein (other than as a result of exceptions contained in paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this Section 2.10), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified
party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on
the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted
in such Losses, (as well as any other relevant equitable considerations). In connection with any Registration Statement filed with
the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified
party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement
or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations
referred to in this Section 2.10(d). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b) shall
be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.10(d),
in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company, a Participating Holder shall not be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities
giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.10(b) and any amounts paid
by such Holder as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale. If indemnification
is available under this Section 2.10and sufficient in respect of all Losses referred to under this Section 2.10, the indemnifying
parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Section 2.10(a) and Section 2.10(b) hereof without
regard to the provisions of this Section 2.10(d). The remedies provided for in this Section 2.10 are not exclusive and shall not
limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

Section
2.11.         Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company
covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable
request of Brookfield, the Advisor or the Property Manager make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary
to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to
time), and it will take such further action as Brookfield, the Advisor or the Property Manager may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable Brookfield, the Advisor or the Property Manager to sell Registrable Securities without
Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation
S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted
by the SEC. Upon the reasonable request of a Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether
it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

Section
3.04.         Successors, Assigns and Transferees. No party hereto may
assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior
written consent of the other parties hereto except any Holder may assign all or a portion of its rights or obligations hereunder
to any Person to which such party transfers its ownership of all or any of its Registrable Securities (each such Person, a “Permitted
Assignee”); provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to permit any assignment, transfer or
other disposition of Registrable Securities in violation of the terms of the Transaction Documents, including the Purchase Agreement,
the A&R Opco LPA, or the Company’s Charter in effect as of the date of such assignment, transfer or other disposition;
provided, further however no Brookfield Excluded Affiliate may be a Permitted Assignee under this Section

Securities, and as a condition thereof, the applicable Brookfield Excluded Affiliate notifies the Company in writing of such Transfer,

transfer, shall no longer be a Brookfield Excluded Affiliate for purposes of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents,
including the Purchase Agreement and the A&R Opco LPA. Such Permitted Assignees and any other Person that acquires Registrable

that is not a party to this Agreement (including any partner, member, stockholder, director, officer, employee or other beneficial
owner of any party, in its own capacity as such or in bringing a derivative action on behalf of a party) shall have any standing
as third-party beneficiary with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 




    	 	29	 



     


    

 


Section
3.07.         Governing Law; Injunctive Relief. This Agreement shall
be governed in all respects by the Laws of the State of New York without regard to any choice of Laws or conflict of Laws provisions
that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage, for which
monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to
take such actions that are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) were not performed
in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached or threatened to be breached. It is accordingly agreed that
each of the parties shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages)
to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief, without proof of actual damages, to prevent breaches
of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively in any state or federal courts
located in the City of New York and any appellate court therefrom within the State of New York, in addition to any other remedy
to which they are entitled at Law or in equity for any such breach. Each of the parties agree that it will not oppose the granting
of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law
or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. The parties hereto agree
that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 3.07 a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek at
any time any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement and (ii) the commencement of any action
or proceeding pursuant to this Section 3.07 or anything set forth in this Section 3.07 shall not restrict or limit any party’s
right to pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. 


 


Section
3.08.         Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. In addition, each
of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations
arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations
arising hereunder brought by any party or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in any state or
federal courts located in the City of New York and any appellate court therefrom within the State of New York. The parties further
agree that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection
with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 3.08 and each party waives any objection to the
imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar
instrument. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect
of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not
bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court

Section
3.09.         Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other documents
delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, including the other Transaction Documents, constitute the full and
entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior agreements
and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including Section 3.04), no Holder or other party hereto may assign any of its respective

hereto, and any attempted assignment or delegation in violation of the foregoing shall be null and void. 


Section
3.10.         Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement
becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, portions of such provision,
or such provision in its entirety, to the extent necessary, shall be severed from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement
shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms. Upon such a declaration by a court of competent jurisdiction, the parties shall
use their respective reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent
of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to
be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any former, current or future
director, officer, employee, incorporator, stockholder, equity holder, controlling Person, portfolio company, manager, advisor,
managing member, member, general partner, limited partner, principal or other agent of any Holder or of any Affiliate or assignee
thereof (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company and Opco, the “Non-Recourse Parties”), as such,
whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or
other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no Liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or
otherwise be incurred by any Non-Recourse Party, as such, for any obligation of any Holder under this Agreement or any documents
or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein or for any claim based on, in
respect of or by reason of the respective obligations of such Holder under this Agreement. Without limiting the rights of any party
against any other party hereto, in no event shall any party or any party’s Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against,
make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party. Each party
hereby waives and releases all such Liability. This waiver and release is a material inducement to each party’s entry into
this Agreement.

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS


 


Section 1.          PLACE.
All meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation or at such other place as shall
be set in accordance with these Bylaws and stated in the notice of the meeting.


 


Section 2.          ANNUAL
MEETING. An annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any business within the powers
of the Corporation shall be held on the date and at the time and place set by the Board of Directors, but in no event shall such
annual meeting be held less than 30 days after delivery of the Corporation’s annual report to its stockholders.


 


Section 3.          SPECIAL
MEETINGS. The chairman of the Board of Directors, the president, the chief executive officer, a majority of the Board of Directors
or a majority of the Independent Directors (as defined in the charter of the Corporation (which for the avoidance of doubt includes
the Articles Supplementary (as defined below) (the “Charter”)) may call a special meeting of the stockholders.
A special meeting of stockholders shall also be called by the secretary of the Corporation to act on any matter that may properly
be considered at a meeting of stockholders upon the written request of a stockholder or stockholders entitled to cast not
less than ten percent (10%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting. The written request
must be delivered in person or by mail and must state the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted upon at the
meeting. Within ten (10) days after receipt of such written request, the secretary of the Corporation shall give
to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, and to each stockholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of
the meeting, notice in writing or by electronic transmission in the manner provided in Section 4 of Article II hereof. Simultaneously
with the receipt of the request, the Corporation shall inform the stockholder(s) requesting the special meeting of the reasonably
estimated cost of preparing and mailing a notice of the proposed meeting and request payment accordingly. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, such meeting called upon the request of such stockholder(s) shall be held not less than fifteen (15) days
nor more than sixty (60) days after the secretary’s delivery of such notice. Subject to the foregoing sentence and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, such meeting shall be held at the time and place specified in the stockholder request; provided,
however, that if none is so specified, such meeting shall be held at a time and place convenient to the stockholders requesting
the special meeting.


 




     


     


    

  


Section 4.          NOTICE.
Except as provided otherwise in Section 3 of this Article II, not less than ten (10) nor more than ninety (90) days
before each meeting of stockholders, the secretary shall give to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each
stockholder not entitled to vote who is entitled to notice of the meeting notice in writing or by electronic transmission stating
the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any statute, the purpose
for which the meeting is called, either by mail, by electronic mail, by presenting it to such stockholder personally, by leaving
it at the stockholder’s residence or usual place of business or by any other means permitted by Maryland law. If mailed,
such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s
address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. Electronic mail notice shall be deemed to
be given upon transmission of the message to the electronic mail address given to the Corporation by the stockholder. The Corporation
may give a single notice to all stockholders who share an address, unless a stockholder objects to receiving such single notice
or revokes a prior consent to receiving such single notice. Failure to give notice of any meeting to one or more stockholders (other
than to any stockholders that requested a special meeting), or any irregularity in such notice, shall not affect the validity of
any meeting fixed in accordance with this Article II, or the validity of any proceedings at any such meeting to the fullest
extent permitted by law. Subject to Section 11(a) of this Article II, any business of the Corporation may be transacted
at an annual meeting of stockholders without being specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is required by
any statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders except as specifically
designated in the notice. The Corporation may postpone or cancel a meeting of stockholders by making a “public announcement”
(as defined in Section 11(c)(3) of this Article II) of such postponement or cancellation prior to the meeting;
provided, however, that the Corporation may not postpone or cancel any special meeting requested by one or more stockholders in
accordance with Section 3 of Article II hereof without the consent of such stockholder(s). Notice of the date to which the meeting
is postponed shall be given not less than ten (10) days prior to such date and otherwise in the manner set forth in this
Section 4.

Section 5.          ORGANIZATION
AND CONDUCT. Every meeting of stockholders shall be conducted by an individual appointed by the Board of Directors to be chairman
of the meeting or, in the absence of such appointment or appointed individual, by the chairman of the board or, in the case of
a vacancy in the office or absence of the chairman of the board, by one of the following officers present at the meeting in the
following order: the vice chairman of the board, if there is one, the chief executive officer, the president, the vice presidents
in their order of rank and seniority, the secretary, or, in the absence of such officers, a chairman chosen by the stockholders
by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present in person or by proxy. The secretary, or, in the secretary’s
absence, an assistant secretary, or in the absence of both the secretary and assistant secretaries, an individual appointed by
the Board of Directors or, in the absence of such appointment, an individual appointed by the chairman of the meeting shall act
as secretary. In the event that the secretary presides at a meeting of the stockholders, an assistant secretary, or in the absence
of assistant secretaries, an individual appointed by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, shall record the minutes
of the meeting. The order of business and all other matters of procedure at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined by
the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of the meeting may prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and take such action
as, in the discretion of the chairman and without any action by the stockholders, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the
meeting, including, without limitation, (a) restricting admission to the time set for the commencement of the meeting; (b) limiting
attendance at the meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized proxies and such other individuals
as the chairman of the meeting may determine; (c) limiting participation at the meeting on any matter to stockholders of record
of the Corporation entitled to vote on such matter, their duly authorized proxies and other such individuals as the chairman of
the meeting may determine; (d) limiting the time allotted to questions or comments; (e) determining when and for how
long the polls should be opened and when the polls should be closed; (f) maintaining order and security at the meeting; (g) removing
any stockholder or any other individual who refuses to comply with meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the
chairman of the meeting; (h) concluding a meeting or recessing or adjourning the meeting to a later date and time and at a
place announced at the meeting; and (i) complying with any state and local laws and regulations concerning safety and security.
Unless otherwise determined by the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance
with the rules of parliamentary procedure.


 


Section 6.          QUORUM.
At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast at least 50% of all the votes
entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement
under any statute or the Charter for the vote necessary for the approval of any matter. If such quorum is not established at any
meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120
days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a
quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.
The stockholders present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and at which a quorum has been established,
may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal from the meeting of enough stockholders to
leave fewer than would be required to establish a quorum.


 


Section 7.          VOTING.
Except as provided in the terms of the Redeemable Preferred Share (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), the holders of a
majority of the shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote who are present in person or by proxy at an annual meeting
at which a quorum is present may, without the necessity for concurrence by the Board of Directors, vote to elect a director. Except
as provided in the terms of the Redeemable Preferred Share, each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors
to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders
duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which may properly come before the
meeting, except as provided in the terms of the Redeemable Preferred Share and unless more than a majority of the votes cast is
required by statute or by the Charter. Except as provided in the terms of the Redeemable Preferred Share and as otherwise provided
by statute or by the Charter, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted
to a vote at a meeting of stockholders. Voting on any question or in any election may be viva voce unless the chairman of the meeting
shall order that voting be by ballot or otherwise.


 




    	 	 	Page 3 of 24



     


    

  


Section 8.          PROXIES.
A holder of record of shares of stock of the Corporation may cast votes in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or by
the stockholder’s duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by law. Such proxy or evidence of authorization of such proxy
shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before or at the meeting. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven (11) months
after its date unless otherwise provided in the proxy.


 


Section 9.          VOTING
OF STOCK BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Stock of the Corporation registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability
company or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, general partner trustee or
managing member thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person
who has been appointed to vote such stock pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing body of such corporation or other
entity or agreement of the partners of a partnership presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which
case such person may vote such stock. Any trustee or other fiduciary may vote stock registered in the name of such person in the
capacity of trustee or fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.


 


Shares of stock of the Corporation directly
or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding
shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted
and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.


 


The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution
a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Corporation that any shares of stock registered in the name of
the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth the class
of stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification
and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the record date
within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which
the Board of Directors considers necessary or desirable. On receipt by the Corporation of such certification, the person specified
in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the stockholder of record of the specified
stock in place of the stockholder who makes the certification.


 


Section 10.         INSPECTORS.
The Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting may appoint, before or at the meeting, one or more inspectors for the meeting
and any successor thereto. The inspectors, if any, shall (i) determine the number of shares of stock represented at the meeting,
in person or by proxy and the validity and effect of proxies, (ii) receive and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, (iii) report
such tabulation to the chairman of the meeting, (iv) hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection
with the right to vote, and (v) do such acts as are proper to fairly conduct the election or vote. Each such report shall
be in writing and signed by the inspector or by a majority of them if there is more than one (1) inspector acting at such
meeting. If there is more than one (1) inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report
of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima
facie evidence thereof.

Nominee (i) certifying that such Proposed Nominee (a) is not, and will not become a party to, any agreement, arrangement
or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation in connection with service or action as a director that has
not been disclosed to the Corporation and (b) will serve as a director of the Corporation if elected; and (ii) attaching
a completed Proposed Nominee questionnaire (which questionnaire shall be provided by the Corporation, upon request, to the stockholder

    	 	 	Page 6 of 24



     


    

  


(4)         Notwithstanding
anything in this subsection (a) of this Section 11 to the contrary, in the event the number of directors to be elected
to the Board of Directors is increased, and there is no public announcement of such action at least 130 days prior to the first
anniversary of the date of the proxy statement (as defined in Section 11(c)(3) of this Article II) for the
preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 11(a) shall also be considered
timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the secretary
at the principal executive office of the Corporation not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the tenth day following the day
on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.


 


(5)         For
purposes of this Section 11, “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person
acting in concert with such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the Corporation owned of record or
beneficially by such stockholder (other than a stockholder that is a depositary) and (iii) any person that directly,
or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with such stockholder or
such person(s) described in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 11(a)(5).


 


(b)          Special
Meetings of Stockholders. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought
before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of individuals for election to the Board
of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected only (i) by or at the direction
of the Board of Directors or (ii) provided that the special meeting has been called in accordance with Section 3 of this
Article II for the purpose of electing directors, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record both
at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 11 and at the time of the special meeting, who is entitled to
vote at the meeting in the election of each individual so nominated and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in
this Section 11. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one (1) or
more individuals to the Board of Directors, any such stockholder may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for
election as a director as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice containing
the information required by paragraph (a)(2) of this Section 11 shall be delivered to the secretary at the principal
executive office of the Corporation not earlier than the 120th day prior to such special meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time, on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement
is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.
The public announcement of a postponement or adjournment of a special meeting shall not commence a new time period for the giving
of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c)          General.
(1) If information submitted pursuant to this Section 11 by any stockholder proposing a nominee for election as
a director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders shall be inaccurate in any material respect,
such information may be deemed not to have been provided in accordance with this Section 11. Any such stockholder
shall notify the Corporation of any inaccuracy or change (within two (2) business days of becoming aware of such
inaccuracy or change) in any such information. Upon written request by the secretary or the Board of Directors, any
stockholder proposing a nominee for election as a director or any proposal for other business at a meeting of stockholders
shall provide, within five (5) business days of delivery of such request (or such other period as may be specified
in such request), (A) written verification, satisfactory, in the discretion of the Board of Directors or any
authorized officer of the Corporation, to demonstrate the accuracy of any information (including, if requested by the
Corporation, written confirmation by such stockholder that it continues to intend to bring such nomination or other
business proposal before the meeting) submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 11, and (B) a
written update of any information submitted by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 11 as of an earlier date.
If a stockholder fails to provide such written verification or written update within such period, the information
as to which written verification or a written update was requested may be deemed not to have been provided in
accordance with this Section 11.


 


(2)         Only
such individuals who are nominated in accordance with this Section 11 shall be eligible for election by stockholders as directors,
and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance
with this Section 11. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power to determine whether a nomination or any other business
proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 11.


 


(3)         For
purposes of this Section 11, “the date of the proxy statement” shall have the same meaning as “the date
of the company’s proxy statement released to shareholders” as used in Rule 14a-8(e) promulgated under the Exchange
Act, as interpreted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. “Public announcement”
shall mean disclosure (i) in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press, Business Wire, PR Newswire
or other widely circulated news or wire service or (ii) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act.


 


(4)         Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law
and of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 11.
Nothing in this Section 11 shall be deemed to affect any right of a stockholder to request inclusion of a proposal in, or
the right of the Corporation to omit a proposal from, the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor
provision) under the Exchange Act. Nothing in this Section 11 shall require disclosure of revocable proxies received
by the stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person pursuant to a solicitation of proxies after the filing of an effective Schedule
14A by such stockholder or Stockholder Associated Person under Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act.

Preferred Directors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11 of this Article III shall not apply to
(x) the nomination or election of the Redeemable Preferred Directors (as defined in the Articles Supplementary) who shall be nominated
and elected solely in accordance with (i) the terms of the Articles Supplementary and (ii) the terms of these Bylaws applicable
to the Redeemable Preferred Directors and the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share (including the last sentence of Section

Preferred Director in connection with or related to the nomination and/or election of any Redeemable Preferred Director.


 


Section 12.         STOCKHOLDERS’
CONSENT IN LIEU OF MEETING. Except as provided in the terms of the Redeemable Preferred Share, any action required or permitted
to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting if a unanimous consent setting forth the action is given
in writing or by electronic transmission by each stockholder entitled to vote on the matter and filed with the minutes of proceedings
of the stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share is entitled
to act by written or electronic consent with respect to any action or vote to be taken with respect to which the holder of the
Redeemable Preferred Share is entitled to take action or vote or with respect to any matter that may properly be considered by
or at a meeting of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share (including, without limitation, under these Bylaws or the Articles
Supplementary), regardless of whether a meeting has been called, by delivering such written or electronic consent to the Corporation,
which written or electronic consent is automatically effective without any further action required by the holder of the Redeemable
Preferred Share, the Corporation or any other Person (as defined in the Articles Supplementary). Any such written or electronic
consent shall be deemed delivered to the Corporation and shall be automatically effective without any further action required by
the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share, the Corporation or any other Person if delivered to the secretary of the Corporation
and shall be deemed delivered: if by facsimile, when such transmission is confirmed; if by email, upon the sending of such email;
if by overnight courier, upon receipt of proof of delivery by such courier; if by hand delivery, upon actual delivery; and if by
certified or registered mail, upon return receipt. For the avoidance of doubt, any written or electronic consent shall be effective
without: (i) any obligation on the part of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share to call a special meeting or any other
meeting of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share, or any other meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, (ii) any
required procedures whatsoever relating to any such meeting (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions set forth in
these Bylaws relating to the place or calling of or notice, organization and conduct and quorum with respect to any such meeting),
or (iii) any obligation on the part of any Person to take any other action in order to render the actions taken by such written
or electronic consent immediately effective upon the delivery specified above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, delivering
any notice to any Person). Without the consent of at least one Primary Redeemable Preferred Director (as defined in the Articles
Supplementary), the Board of Directors shall not adopt any procedures applicable to the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share
taking any action pursuant to this Section 12 of this Article II by written or electronic consent.

SHARE ACQUISITION ACT. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Charter or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Maryland

person of shares of stock of the Corporation. This section may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or
after an acquisition of control shares and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to any

consent of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share.

Section 6.          QUORUM.
A majority of the directors including, for so long as the Redeemable Preferred Share is outstanding, at least one (1) Primary Redeemable
Preferred Director, shall constitute a quorum for transaction of business at any meeting of the Board of Directors; provided
that, if less than such a majority of such directors is present at such meeting, a majority of the directors present may adjourn
the meeting from time to time without further notice (provided that notice of any rescheduled meeting shall be provided to all
Redeemable Preferred Directors no less than one (1) Business Day prior to such meeting) provided that if the failure to
achieve such quorum is solely due to the absence of any Primary Redeemable Preferred Director, so long as the Redeemable Preferred
Share is outstanding, if quorum at any meeting which is scheduled to substitute for such adjourned meeting fails to be achieved
solely due to the absence of any Primary Redeemable Preferred Director, quorum shall be deemed to have been achieved despite such
absence solely with respect to any action taken by the Board of Directors that is not related to any of the matters set forth in
Section 6(i) and 6(j) of the Articles Supplementary, except during a Suspension Period (as defined in the Articles Supplementary),
in which case quorum shall also be deemed to have been achieved despite such absence with respect to any action taken by the Board
of Directors related to any of the matters set forth in Section 6(i) and 6(j) of the Articles Supplementary to the extent that
such matters constitute AS Suspended Rights (as defined in the Articles Supplementary); and provided further that, if, pursuant
to applicable law, the Charter or these Bylaws, the vote of a majority or other percentage of a particular group of directors or
the vote of a particular director is required for action, a quorum must also include a majority or such other percentage of such
group or the particular director, as applicable.


 


The directors present at a meeting which
has been duly called and at which a quorum has been established may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding
the withdrawal from the meeting of enough directors to leave fewer than would be required to establish a quorum; provided,
that at least one (1) Primary Redeemable Preferred Director must remain at the meeting in order for the directors to be permitted
to transact business in respect of any action relating to any of the matters described in Section 6(i) or Section 6(j) of the Articles
Supplementary, except during a Suspension Period, in which case the directors shall also be permitted to transact business in respect
of any action relating to any of the matters described in Section 6(i) or Section 6(j) of the Articles Supplementary to the extent
that such matters constitute AS Suspended Rights.

Section 7.          VOTING.
The action of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the action of the Board of
Directors, unless (a) the concurrence of a greater proportion is required for such action by applicable law, the Charter or these
Bylaws or (b) the concurrence of a Primary Redeemable Preferred Director is required for such action by the Articles Supplementary
(subject to the provisions in Section 9 thereof relating to the suspension of certain rights of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred
Share). If enough directors have withdrawn from a meeting to leave fewer than would be required to establish a quorum but the meeting
is not adjourned, the action of the majority of that number of directors necessary to constitute a quorum at such meeting shall
be the action of the Board of Directors, unless (i) the concurrence of a greater proportion is required for such action by applicable
law, the Charter or these Bylaws or (ii) the concurrence of a Primary Redeemable Preferred Director is required for such action
by the Articles Supplementary (subject to the provisions in Section 9 thereof relating to the suspension of certain rights of the
holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share); provided, that in any case a quorum for any action relating to any of the matters
described in Section 6(i) or Section 6(j) of the Articles Supplementary shall require the participation of at least one (1) Primary
Redeemable Preferred Director, except during a Suspension Period, in which case quorum for any action relating to any of the matters
described in Section 6(i) or Section 6(j) of the Articles Supplementary shall not require the participation of a Primary Redeemable
Preferred Director to the extent that such matters constitute AS Suspended Rights. On any matter for which the Charter requires
the approval of the Independent Directors, the action of a majority of the total number of Independent Directors shall be the action
of the Independent Directors.


 


Section 8.          ORGANIZATION.
At each meeting of the Board of Directors, the chairman of the board or, in the absence of the chairman, the vice chairman of the
board, if any, shall act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of both the chairman and vice chairman of the board, the chief
executive officer or in the absence of the chief executive officer, the president or, in the absence of the president, a director
chosen by a majority of the directors present, shall act as chairman of the meeting. The secretary or, in his or her absence, an
assistant secretary of the Corporation, or in the absence of the secretary and all assistant secretaries, an individual appointed
by the chairman of the meeting, shall act as secretary of the meeting.

MEETINGS. Directors may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment if all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means shall constitute presence
in person at the meeting.


 


Section 10.         CONSENT
BY DIRECTORS WITHOUT A MEETING. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors may be taken
without a meeting, if a consent in writing or by electronic transmission to such action is given by each director and is filed
with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors.


 


Section 11.         VACANCIES.
If for any reason any or all of the directors cease to be directors, such event shall not terminate the Corporation or affect these
Bylaws or the powers of the remaining directors hereunder. Subject to the next paragraph, any vacancy on the Board of Directors,
other than due to any Redeemable Preferred Director ceasing to be a director or an increase in the number of directors as contemplated
by Section 6(b) of the Articles Supplementary and the second paragraph of Article III, Section 2 of these Bylaws, may be filled
only by a majority of the remaining directors, even if the remaining directors do not constitute a quorum, and any individual elected
to fill such a vacancy shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the directorship in which the vacancy occurred and until
a successor is elected and qualifies.

herein, as provided in the Articles Supplementary, any vacancy on the Board of Directors due to any Redeemable Preferred Director
ceasing to be a director or due to the increase in the number of directors as contemplated by Section 6(b) of the Articles Supplementary

or delayed).


 


Section 12.         COMPENSATION.
Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as directors but, by resolution of the Board of Directors, may
receive compensation per year and/or per meeting and/or per visit to real property or other facilities owned or leased by the Corporation
and for any service or activity they performed or engaged in as directors, including under an incentive plan approved by the Board
of Directors. Directors will be reimbursed for expenses of attendance, if any, at each annual, regular or special meeting of the
Board of Directors or of any committee thereof and for their expenses, if any, in connection with each property visit and any other
service or activity they perform or engage in as directors; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to preclude any directors
from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.


 


Section 13.         LOSS
OF DEPOSITS. No director shall be liable for any loss which may occur by reason of the failure of the bank, trust company, savings
and loan association, or other institution with whom moneys or stock have been deposited.

BONDS. Unless required by law, no director shall be obligated to give any bond or surety or other security for the performance
of any of his or her duties.


 


Section 15.         RELIANCE.
Each director and officer of the Corporation shall, in the performance of his or her duties with respect to the Corporation, be
entitled to rely on any information, opinion, report or statement, including any financial statement or other financial data, prepared
or presented by an officer or employee of the Corporation whom the director or officer reasonably believes to be reliable and competent
in the matters presented, by a lawyer, certified public accountant or other person, as to a matter which the director or officer
reasonably believes to be within the person’s professional or expert competence, or with respect to a director, by a committee
of the Board of Directors on which the director does not serve, as to a matter within its designated authority, if the director
reasonably believes the committee to merit confidence.

in addition to or in competition with those of or relating to the Corporation.


 


Section 18.         EMERGENCY

any Redeemable Preferred Director), so long as the Redeemable Preferred Share is outstanding, if quorum at any meeting which is
scheduled to substitute for such adjourned committee meeting fails to be achieved solely due to the absence of any Primary Redeemable

of Directors that is not related to any of the matters set forth in Section 6(i) and 6(j) of the Articles Supplementary, except
during a Suspension Period, in which case quorum shall also be deemed to have been achieved despite such absence with respect to
any action taken by such committee of the Board of Directors related to any of the matters set forth in Section 6(i) and 6(j) of
the Articles Supplementary to the extent that such matters constitute AS Suspended Rights. The act of a majority of the committee

constitute a quorum, may appoint another director to act in the place of the such absent member; provided, that in respect

action relating to any of the matters described in Section 6(i) or Section 6(j) of the Articles Supplementary to the extent that
such matters constitute AS Suspended Rights. Each committee shall keep minutes of its proceedings.

Section 1.          CERTIFICATES.
Except as may be otherwise provided by the Board of Directors or required by the Charter, stockholders of the Corporation are not
entitled to certificates representing the shares of stock held by them. In the event that the Corporation issues shares of stock
represented by certificates, such certificates shall be in such form as prescribed by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized
officer, shall contain the statements and information required by the MGCL and shall be signed by the officers of the Corporation
in the manner permitted by the MGCL. In the event that the Corporation issues shares of stock without certificates, to the extent
then required by the MGCL, the Corporation shall provide to the record holders of such shares a written statement of the information
required by the MGCL to be included on stock certificates. There shall be no differences in the rights and obligations of stockholders
based on whether or not their shares are represented by certificates.


 


Section 2.          TRANSFERS.
All transfers of shares of stock shall be made on the books of the Corporation, by the holder of the shares, in person or by his
or her attorney, in such manner as the Board of Directors or any officer of the Corporation may prescribe and, if such shares are
certificated, upon surrender of certificates duly endorsed. The issuance of a new certificate upon the transfer of certificated
shares is subject to the determination of the Board of Directors that such shares shall no longer be represented by certificates.
Upon the transfer of uncertificated shares, to the extent then required by the MGCL, the Corporation shall provide to record holders
of such shares a written statement of the information required by the MGCL to be included on stock certificates. The Corporation
shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share of stock as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not
be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or on the part of any other person, whether or
not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise expressly provided by the laws of the State of Maryland.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, transfers of shares of any class or series of stock will be subject in all respects to the Charter
and all of the terms and conditions contained therein.


 


Section 3.          REPLACEMENT
CERTIFICATE. Any officer of the Corporation may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate
or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated, upon the making
of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate to be lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated; provided, however,
if such shares have ceased to be certificated, no new certificate shall be issued unless requested in writing by such stockholder
and the Board of Directors has determined such certificates may be issued. Unless otherwise determined by an officer of the Corporation,
the owner of such lost, destroyed, stolen or mutilated certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, shall be
required, as a condition precedent to the issuance of a new certificate or certificates, to give the Corporation a bond in such
sums as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation.


 


Section 4.          FIXING
OF RECORD DATE. The Board of Directors may set, in advance, a record date for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled
to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or determining stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend
or the allotment of any other rights, or in order to make a determination of stockholders for any other proper purpose. Such date,
in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than ninety
(90) days and, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, not less than ten (10) days, before the date on which the
meeting or particular action requiring such determination of stockholders of record is to be held or taken. When a record date
for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at any meeting of stockholders has been set as provided
in this section, such record date shall continue to apply to the meeting if adjourned or postponed, except if the meeting is adjourned
or postponed to a date more than 120 days after the record date originally fixed for the meeting, in which case a new record date
for such meeting may be determined as set forth herein.

STOCK; ISSUANCE OF UNITS. The Board of Directors may authorize the Corporation to issue fractional stock or authorize the issuance
of scrip, all on such terms and under such conditions as it may determine. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Charter or
these Bylaws, the Board of Directors may issue units consisting of different securities of the Corporation. Any security issued
in a unit shall have the same characteristics as any identical securities issued by the Corporation, except that the Board of Directors
may provide that for a specified period securities of the Corporation issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of the
Corporation only in such unit.

limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, terms and conditions of redemption and other terms and conditions

INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCE OF EXPENSES


 


To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland
law in effect from time to time (but subject to the provisions of this Article XII and the Charter), the Corporation shall
indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a present or former director
or officer of the Corporation and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service
in that capacity and (b) any individual who, while a director or officer of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation,
serves or has served as a director, officer, partner, member, manager or trustee of another corporation, real estate investment
trust, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made
or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity from and against any claim,
liability or expense to which they may become subject or which they may incur by reason of their service in any such capacity.
The rights of a director or officer to indemnification and advance of expenses provided by the Charter and these Bylaws shall vest
immediately upon election of such director or officer. The Corporation may, with the approval of its Board of Directors, provide
such indemnification and advance for expenses to an individual who served a predecessor of the Corporation in any of the capacities

by the person or persons entitled to such notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to
the giving of such notice. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any meeting need be set forth in the waiver
of notice of such meeting, unless specifically required by statute. The attendance of any person at any meeting shall constitute
a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction

Section 4.            Standard
for Indemnification. Subject to the limitations in Section 5, if, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee
is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all judgments, penalties,
fines and amounts paid in settlement and all Expenses actually incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection
with any such Proceeding unless it is established by clear and convincing evidence that (a) the act or omission of Indemnitee
was material to the matter giving rise to the Proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of
active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.


 


Section 5.            Certain
Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement (other than Section 6), Indemnitee shall not
be entitled to:


 


(a)          indemnification
for any loss or liability unless all of the following conditions are met: (i) Indemnitee has determined, in good faith, that the
course of conduct that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the Company; (ii) Indemnitee was acting on behalf
of or performing services for the Company; (iii) such loss or liability was not the result of (A) gross negligence or willful misconduct,
in the case that the Indemnitee is an independent director of the Company or (B) negligence or misconduct, in the case that the
Indemnitee is not an independent director of the Company; and (iv) such indemnification is recoverable only out of the Company’s
net assets and not from the Company’s stockholders;


 


(b)          indemnification
for any loss or liability arising from an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless one or more of the following
conditions are met: (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities
law violations as to Indemnitee; (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction
as to Indemnitee; or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against Indemnitee and finds that
indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification
has been advised of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position of any state securities
regulatory authority in which securities of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities
laws;


 


(c)          indemnification
hereunder if the Proceeding was one by or in the right of the Company and Indemnitee is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the
Proceeding not subject to further appeal, to be liable to the Company;


 


(d)          indemnification
hereunder if Indemnitee is adjudged, in a final adjudication of the Proceeding not subject to further appeal, to be liable on the
basis that personal benefit was improperly received in any Proceeding charging improper personal benefit to Indemnitee, whether
or not involving action in the Indemnitee’s Corporate Status; or


 


(e)          indemnification
or advance of Expenses hereunder if the Proceeding was brought by Indemnitee, unless: (i) the Proceeding was brought to enforce
this Agreement, and then only to the extent in accordance with and as authorized by Section 12 of this Agreement, or (ii) the Company’s
charter or bylaws, a resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of
Directors or an agreement approved by the Board of Directors to which the Company is a party expressly provide otherwise.


 






    	 	4	 



     


    

 


Section 6.            Court-Ordered
Indemnification. Subject to the limitations in Section 5(a) and (b), a court of appropriate jurisdiction, upon application
of Indemnitee and such notice as the court shall require, may order indemnification of Indemnitee by the Company in the following
circumstances:


 


(a)          if
such court determines that Indemnitee is entitled to reimbursement under Section 2-418(d)(1) of the MGCL, the court shall
order indemnification, in which case Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover the Expenses of securing such reimbursement; or


 


(b)          
if such court determines that Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances,
whether or not Indemnitee (i) has met the standards of conduct set forth in Section 2-418(b) of the MGCL or (ii) has
been adjudged liable for receipt of an improper personal benefit under Section 2-418(c) of the MGCL, the court may order such indemnification
as the court shall deem proper without regard to any limitation on such court ordered indemnification contemplated by Section 2-418(d)(2)(ii)
of the MGCL.


 


Section 7.            Indemnification
for Expenses of an Indemnitee Who is Wholly or Partly Successful. Subject to the limitations in Section 5, to the extent that
Indemnitee was or is, by reason of his or her Corporate Status, made a party to (or otherwise becomes a participant in) any Proceeding
and is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of such Proceeding, Indemnitee shall be indemnified by the Company
for all Expenses actually incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection therewith. If Indemnitee is not
wholly successful in such Proceeding but is successful, on the merits or otherwise, as to one or more but less than all claims,
issues or matters in such Proceeding, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee under this Section 7 for all Expenses actually
incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’s behalf in connection with each such claim, issue or matter, allocated on a reasonable
and proportionate basis. For purposes of this Section 7, and without limitation, the termination of any claim, issue or matter
in such a Proceeding by dismissal, with or without prejudice, shall be deemed to be a successful result as to such claim, issue
or matter.


 






    	 	5	 



     


    

 


Section 8.            Advance
of Expenses for an Indemnitee. If, by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate Status, Indemnitee is, or is threatened to be,
made a party to any Proceeding, the Company shall, without requiring a preliminary determination of Indemnitee’s ultimate
entitlement to indemnification hereunder, advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of Indemnitee in connection with (a) such
Proceeding which is initiated by a third party who is not a stockholder of the Company, or (b) such Proceeding which is initiated
by a stockholder of the Company acting in his or her capacity as such and for which a court of competent jurisdiction specifically
approves such advancement, and which relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf
of the Company, within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting such advance or advances
from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding, and may be in the form of, in the reasonable
discretion of Indemnitee (but without duplication) (a) payment of such Expenses directly to third parties on behalf of the
Indemnitee, (b) advancement to the Indemnitee of funds in an amount sufficient to pay such Expenses or (c) reimbursement to
Indemnitee for Indemnitee’s payment of such Expenses. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses
incurred by Indemnitee and shall include or be preceded or accompanied by a written affirmation by Indemnitee of Indemnitee’s
good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company as authorized by law and by this Agreement
has been met and a written undertaking by or on behalf of Indemnitee, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
or in such form as may be required under applicable law as in effect at the time of the execution thereof to reimburse the portion
of any Expenses advanced to Indemnitee, together with the Applicable Legal Rate of interest thereon, relating to claims, issues
or matters in the Proceeding as to which it shall ultimately be determined by non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction
that the standard of conduct has not been met by Indemnitee and which have not been successfully resolved as described in Section 7
of this Agreement. To the extent that Expenses advanced to Indemnitee do not relate to a specific claim, issue or matter in the
Proceeding, such Expenses shall be allocated on a reasonable and proportionate basis. The undertaking required by this Section 8
shall be an unlimited general obligation by or on behalf of Indemnitee and shall be accepted without reference to Indemnitee’s
financial ability to repay such advanced Expenses and without any requirement to post security therefor.


 


Section 9.            Indemnification
and Advance of Expenses as a Witness or Other Participant. Subject to the limitations in Section 5, to the extent that Indemnitee
is or may be, by reason of Indemnitee’ s Corporate Status, made a witness or otherwise asked to participate in any Proceeding,
whether instituted by the Company or any other person, and to which Indemnitee is not a party, Indemnitee shall be advanced all
Expenses and indemnified against all Expenses actually incurred by Indemnitee or on Indemnitee’ s behalf in connection therewith
within ten days after the receipt by the Company of a statement or statements requesting any such advance or indemnification from
time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence
the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee.


 


Section 10.           Procedure
for Determination of Entitlement to Indemnification.


 


(a)          To
obtain indemnification under this Agreement, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith
such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and
to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Indemnitee may submit one or more such requests from time to time and
at such time(s) as Indemnitee deems appropriate in Indemnitee’s sole discretion. The officer of the Company receiving any
such request from Indemnitee shall, promptly upon receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the Board of Directors
in writing that Indemnitee has requested indemnification.


 






    	 	6	 



     


    

 


(b)          Upon
written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) above, a determination, if required by applicable law,
with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement thereto shall promptly be made in the specific case: (i) if a Change in Control
shall have occurred, by Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered
to Indemnitee, which Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with
Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; or (ii) if a Change in Control shall
not have occurred, (A) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Disinterested Directors or, if such
a quorum cannot be obtained, then by a majority vote of a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors consisting solely
of one or more Disinterested Directors, (B) if Independent Counsel has been selected by the Board of Directors in accordance with
Section 2-418(e)(2)(ii) of the MGCL and approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by
Independent Counsel, in a written opinion to the Board of Directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (C) if
so directed by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is so determined
that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made by the Company within ten days after such determination.
Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making such determination with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement
to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or
information which is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and which is reasonably available to Indemnitee and
reasonably necessary to such determination in the discretion of the Board of Directors or Independent Counsel if retained pursuant
to clause (ii)(B) of this Section 10(b). Any Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity
making such determination shall be borne by the Company (irrespective of the determination as to Indemnitee’s entitlement
to indemnification) and the Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnitee harmless therefrom.


 


(c)          The
Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of Independent Counsel, if one is appointed.


 


Section 11.           Presumptions
and Effect of Certain Proceedings.


 


(a)          In
making any determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person or persons or entity making such
determination shall presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request
for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall have the burden of proof, by
clear and convincing evidence, to overcome that presumption in connection with the making of any determination contrary to that
presumption.


 


(b)          The
termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, upon a plea
of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, does not create a presumption
that Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct described herein for indemnification.


 


(c)          The
knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any other director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any other director,
trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation,
partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not be imputed to
Indemnitee for purposes of determining any other right to indemnification under this Agreement.

Section 12.           Remedies
of Indemnitee.


 


(a)          lf
(i) a determination is made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification
under this Agreement, (ii) an advance of Expenses is not timely made pursuant to Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement, (iii) no
determination of entitlement to indemnification shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement within 60 days
after receipt by the Company of the request for indemnification, (iv) payment of indemnification is not made pursuant to Sections 7
or 9 of this Agreement within ten days after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor, or (v) payment of indemnification
pursuant to any other section of this Agreement or the charter or bylaws of the Company is not made within ten days after a determination
has been made that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication in an appropriate
court located in the State of Maryland, or in any other court of competent jurisdiction, of Indemnitee’s entitlement to such
indemnification or advance of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee , at Indemnitee’s option,
may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of
the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence a proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration
within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a);
provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply to a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights
under Section 7 of this Agreement. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of Maryland law (without regard to its conflicts
of laws rules) shall apply to any such arbitration. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication
or award in arbitration.


 


(b)          In
any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled
to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be, under this Agreement and the Company shall have the burden of proving
that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advance of Expenses, as the case may be. If Indemnitee commences a judicial
proceeding or arbitration pursuant to this Section 12, Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any advances
pursuant to Section 8 of this Agreement until a final determination is made with respect to Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification
(as to which all rights of appeal have been exhausted or lapsed). The Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law,
be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures
and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such
arbitrator that the Company is bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.


 


(c)          If
a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10(b) of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification,
the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12,
absent a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s
statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification.


 


(d)          In
the event that Indemnitee is successful in seeking, pursuant to this Section 12, a judicial adjudication of or an award in
arbitration to enforce Indemnitee’s rights under, or to recover damages for breach of, this Agreement, Indemnitee shall be
entitled to recover from the Company, and shall be indemnified by the Company for, any and all Expenses actually incurred by him
or her in such judicial adjudication or arbitration. If it shall be determined in such judicial adjudication or arbitration that
Indemnitee is entitled to receive part but not all of the indemnification or advance of Expenses sought, the Expenses incurred
by Indemnitee in connection with such judicial adjudication or arbitration shall be appropriately prorated.


 






    	 	8	 



     


    

 


(e)          Interest
shall be paid by the Company to Indemnitee at the maximum rate allowed to be charged for judgments under the Courts and Judicial
Proceedings Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland for amounts which the Company pays or is obligated to pay for the period
(i) commencing with either the tenth day after the date on which the Company was requested to advance Expenses in accordance
with Sections 8 or 9 of this Agreement or the 60th day after the date on which the Company was requested to make the determination
of entitlement to indemnification under Section 10(b) of this Agreement, as applicable, and (ii) ending on the date such
payment is made to Indemnitee by the Company.


 


Section 13.           Defense
of the Underlying Proceeding.


 


(a)          Indemnitee
shall notify the Company promptly in writing upon being served with any summons, citation, subpoena, complaint, indictment, request
or other document relating to any Proceeding which may result in the right to indemnification or the advance of Expenses hereunder
and shall include with such notice a description of the nature of the Proceeding and a summary of the facts underlying the Proceeding.
The failure to give any such notice shall not disqualify Indemnitee from the right, or otherwise affect in any manner any right
of Indemnitee, to indemnification or the advance of Expenses under this Agreement unless the Company’s ability to defend
in such Proceeding or to obtain proceeds under any insurance policy is materially and adversely prejudiced thereby, and then only
to the extent the Company is thereby actually so prejudiced.


 


(b)          Subject
to the provisions of the last sentence of this Section 13(b) and of Section 13(c) below, the Company shall have the right
to defend Indemnitee in any Proceeding which may give rise to indemnification hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall
notify Indemnitee of any such decision to defend within 15 calendar days following receipt of notice of any such Proceeding under
Section 13(a) above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, consent to the entry of any judgment against Indemnitee or enter into any settlement or compromise which (i) includes
an admission of fault of Indemnitee, (ii) does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the full release of Indemnitee
from all liability in respect of such Proceeding, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee,
or (iii) would impose any Expense, judgment, fine, penalty or limitation on Indemnitee. This Section 13(b) shall not
apply to a Proceeding brought by Indemnitee under Section 12 of this Agreement.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section l3(b) above, if in a Proceeding to which Indemnitee is a party by reason of Indemnitee’s Corporate
Status, (i) Indemnitee reasonably concludes, based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, that Indemnitee may have separate defenses or counterclaims to assert with
respect to any issue which may not be consistent with other defendants in such Proceeding, (ii) Indemnitee reasonably concludes,
based upon an opinion of counsel approved by the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed,
that an actual or apparent conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company, or
(iii) if the Company fails to assume the defense of such Proceeding in a timely manner, Indemnitee shall be entitled to be represented
by separate legal counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at the expense of the Company. In addition, if the Company fails to comply with
any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes any action to declare this
Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any Proceeding to deny or to recover from Indemnitee the benefits intended to be
provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall have the right to retain counsel of Indemnitee’s choice, subject to the
prior approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, at the expense of the
Company (subject to Section 12(d) of this Agreement), to represent Indemnitee in connection with any such matter.

Section 14.           Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Indemnitee as follows:


 


(a)          Authority.
The Company has all necessary corporate power and authority to enter into, and be bound by the terms of, this Agreement, and the
execution, delivery and performance of the undertakings contemplated by this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Company.


 


(b)          Enforceability.
This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof, shall be a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally or general equitable principles, and to the extent limited by applicable federal or state securities laws.


 


Section 15.           Non-Exclusivity;
Survival of Rights; Subrogation.


 


(a)          The
rights of indemnification and advance of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights
to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the charter or bylaws of the Company, any agreement or a
resolution of the stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors or of the Board of Directors, or otherwise.
Unless consented to in writing by Indemnitee, no amendment, alteration or repeal of the charter or bylaws of the Company, this
Agreement or of any provision hereof shall limit or restrict any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action
taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal, regardless of
whether a claim with respect to such action or inaction is raised prior or subsequent to such amendment, alteration or repeal.
No right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right or remedy shall
be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prohibit the concurrent assertion
or employment of any other right or remedy.


 






    	 	10	 



     


    

 


(b)          Except
for any rights the Company may have pursuant to the terms of any Transaction Document (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the
Company hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases, and covenants and agrees not to exercise, any
rights that the Company now has against the Designating Stockholder (or any of its affiliates) or Indemnitee that arise from or
relate to the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement or under any
other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract, bylaws or charter) with any person or entity, including, without
limitation, any right of subrogation (whether pursuant to contract or common law), reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification, or to be held harmless, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Indemnitee (including of Indemnitee
against the Designating Stockholder (or any of its affiliates)), whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or
under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Designating Stockholder
(or any of its affiliates) or Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner,
payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right.


 


(c)          
In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights
of recovery of Indemnitee with respect to any insurance referred to in Section 16(a) hereof, who shall execute all papers required
and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company
to bring suit to enforce such rights (except with respect to any rights of recovery against the Designating Stockholder).


 


Section 16.           Insurance.


 


(a)          The
Company (i) has, prior to the date hereof, obtained directors and officers liability insurance, covering Indemnitee or any claim
made against Indemnitee by reason of his or her Corporate Status and covering the Company for any indemnification or advance of
Expenses made by the Company to Indemnitee for any claims made against Indemnitee by reason of his or her Corporate Status, with
an underwriter and with terms (including premiums, deductibles and coverage limits) reasonably satisfactory to the Designating
Stockholder, and (ii) will, after the date hereof, use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such insurance in full force and
effect and shall pay the premium therefor pursuant to the terms thereof; provided, that the Company shall not reduce the
coverage of such directors and officers liability insurance without the prior written consent of the Designating Stockholder.


 


(b)          Without
in any way limiting any other obligation under this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee for any payment by Indemnitee
arising out of the amount of any deductible or retention and the amount of any excess of the aggregate of all judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding over the coverage of any insurance referred
to in Section 16(a). The purchase, establishment and maintenance of any such insurance shall not in any way limit or affect
the rights or obligations of the Company or Indemnitee under this Agreement except as expressly provided herein, and the execution
and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Indemnitee shall not in any way limit or affect the rights or obligations of
the Company under any such insurance policies. If, at the time the Company receives notice from any source of a Proceeding to which
Indemnitee is a party or a participant (as a witness or otherwise), the Company has director and officer liability insurance in
effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of such Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in
the respective policies.


 






    	 	11	 



     


    

 


Section 17.           Coordination
of Payments. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable or
payable or reimbursable as Expenses hereunder if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received such payment
under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise; provided, however, that (i) the Company hereby agrees
that it is the indemnitor of first resort under this Agreement and under any other indemnification agreement (i.e., their obligations
to Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other agreement or undertaking to provide advancement and/or indemnification to Indemnitee
are primary and any obligation of the Designating Stockholder (or any affiliate thereof other than the Company) to provide advancement
or indemnification for the same Expenses, liabilities, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement (including all
interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, liabilities, judgments,
penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), and (ii) if the Designating Stockholder
(or any affiliate thereof other than the Company) pays or causes to be paid, for any reason, any amounts otherwise indemnifiable
hereunder or under any other indemnification agreement (whether pursuant to contract, bylaws or charter) pursuant to which Indemnitee
is entitled to indemnification from the Company or any affiliate of the Company, then (x) the Designating Stockholder (or such
affiliate, as the case may be) shall be fully subrogated to all rights of Indemnitee with respect to such payment and (y) the Company
shall fully indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Designating Stockholder (or such other affiliate) for all such payments
actually made by the Designating Stockholder (or such other affiliate) to the extent the Company is otherwise liable pursuant to
the charter or bylaws of the Company to Indemnitee for such payments made by the Designating Stockholder.


 


Section 18.           Contribution.
If the indemnification provided in this Agreement is unavailable in whole or in part and may not be paid to Indemnitee for any
reason, other than for failure to satisfy the standard of conduct set forth in Section 4 or due to the provisions of Section 5,
then, with respect to any Proceeding in which the Company is jointly liable with Indemnitee (or would be joined in such Proceeding
or would be liable if joined in such Proceeding), to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law and this Agreement, the
Company, in lieu of indemnifying and holding harmless Indemnitee, shall pay, in the first instance, the entire amount incurred
by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, penalties, and/or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with
any Proceeding without requiring Indemnitee to contribute to such payment, and the Company hereby waives and relinquishes any right
of contribution it may have at any time against Indemnitee.


 


Section 19.         Reports
to Stockholders. To the extent required by the MGCL, the Company shall report in writing to its stockholders the payment of
any amounts for indemnification of, or advance of Expenses to, Indemnitee under this Agreement arising out of a Proceeding by or
in the right of the Company with the notice of the meeting of stockholders of the Company next following the date of the payment
of any such indemnification or advance of Expenses or prior to such meeting.

Section 20.           Duration
of Agreement; Binding Effect.


 


(a)          
This Agreement shall continue until and terminate on the later of (i) the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve
as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or as a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing member,
fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, limited liability
company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at
the request of the Company and (ii) the date that Indemnitee is no longer subject to any actual or possible Proceeding (including
any rights of appeal thereto and any Proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement), which date
shall in no event be earlier than the date on which the applicable statute of limitations period with respect to any possible Proceeding
expires.


 


(b)          The
indemnification and advance of Expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Agreement shall be binding upon and be enforceable
by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger,
consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company), shall continue as to an Indemnitee
who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or a director, trustee, officer, partner, manager, managing
member, fiduciary, employee or agent of any other foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise that such person is or was serving in such capacity at the request of
the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitee’s spouse, assigns, heirs, devisees, executors and
administrators and other legal representatives.


 


(c)          The
Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all,
substantially all or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that
the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place.


 


(d)          The
Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement, at some later date, may be inadequate, impracticable
and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto
agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity
of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall
not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which Indemnitee may be entitled. Indemnitee shall further be entitled
to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent
injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertakings in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that,
in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by a court, and the Company hereby waives any such
requirement of such a bond or undertaking.

FORM OF


 


OWNERSHIP LIMIT WAIVER AGREEMENT 


 


THIS OWNERSHIP LIMIT WAIVER AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of _____________, 2017, is between Hospitality Investors Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation
(the “Company”), and Brookfield Strategic Real Estate Partners II Hospitality REIT II, LLC (the “Investor”).
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Articles of Amendment and Restatement
for the Company, as filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation, as amended, supplemented, and amended
and restated through the date hereof and as presently in effect (the “Charter”) or the Purchase Agreement (as
defined below).


 


RECITALS


 


WHEREAS, pursuant
to a Securities Purchase, Voting and Standstill Agreement by and among the Company (f/k/a American Realty Capital Hospitality
Trust, Inc.), American Realty Capital Hospitality Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”)
and the Investor, dated as of January 12, 2017 (the “Purchase Agreement”), the Investor desires to purchase
from the Company one Redeemable Preferred Share (the “Preferred Share”) and the Investor desires to purchase
from the Operating Partnership Convertible Preferred Units, all in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.


 


WHEREAS, the Convertible
Preferred Units shall be convertible into OP Units, which OP Units shall be redeemable for cash or Common Shares at the option
of the Company in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the restrictions contained in, the Purchase Agreement and the Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, dated as of the date hereof (the “Partnership
Agreement”).


 


WHEREAS, Section 5.9
of the Charter contains restrictions regarding the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, which prohibits any Person from Beneficially
Owning or Constructively Owning more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of the Company
and not more than 9.8% (in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive) of any class or series of shares of Capital
Stock of the Company, except as otherwise waived by the Company. These restrictions are designed to ensure the Company’s
continued qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).


 


WHEREAS, prior to closing
on the Investor’s purchase of the Preferred Share or any Convertible Preferred Units, in order to assist the Company in preventing
the usage of any net operating losses it may have from being limited under Section 382 of the Code, which is important to the Company’s
ability to continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company intends to lower its Aggregate Share Ownership Limit in accordance with Section
5.9(ii)(h) of the Charter to 4.9%.


 






    F-1


     


    

 


WHEREAS, the Investor
may acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership
Limit and has requested a waiver of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit.


 


WHEREAS, the Investor
may transfer its ownership of any Shares, Convertible Preferred Units or OP Units to its Affiliates in accordance with the terms
of the Purchase Agreement and the Partnership Agreement. The Investor and its Affiliates are herein referred to collectively as
the, and in accordance with Section 5.9(ii)(a)(I)(A)(1) constitute an, “Excepted Holder”.


 


WHEREAS, Pursuant to
Section 5.9(ii)(g)(I) of the Charter, the Company has adopted resolutions approving the Excepted Holder’s exemption from
the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.


 


NOW, THEREFORE, the
parties, intending to be legally bound, in reliance on the representations set forth in the Certificate (as defined below), hereby
agree as follow:


 


AGREEMENT 


 


1. WAIVER OF OWNERSHIP LIMITS


 


1.1       The
Company hereby waives the application of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit contained in Section 5.9(ii)(a)(I)(A) of the Charter
to the Excepted Holder (such waiver, the “Ownership Limit Waiver”) and permits the Excepted Holder to Beneficially
Own and Constructively Own the Preferred Share and any Common Shares (the “Excepted Stock”) subject to a new
ownership limit (the “Excepted Holder Limit”) of 49%; provided that the Excepted Holder’s right to Beneficially
Own and Constructively Own OP Units and Common Shares shall in all cases be subject to Section 16.7 of the Partnership Agreement.


 


1.2        The
Ownership Limit Waiver and Excepted Holder Limit granted by this Section 1 are granted solely to the Excepted Holder and
relate solely to the Excepted Stock Beneficially Owned and/or Constructively Owned by the Excepted Holder.  Any Transfer
of the Excepted Stock held by the Excepted Holder, other than to another Affiliate included within the term “Excepted Holder”,
shall cause such Excepted Stock to no longer be subject to this Ownership Limit Waiver and any such Excepted Stock shall be subject
to the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit as of the date of such Transfer.


 


1.3The Ownership
Limit Waiver and Excepted Holder Limit granted by this Section 1 only grant the Excepted Holder the right to Beneficially
Own and/or Constructively Own Excepted Stock up to the Excepted Holder Limit.  The Excepted Holder shall not directly
or indirectly acquire shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit. For the avoidance of doubt, the ownership
of Class C Units and OP Units (each as defined in the Partnership Agreement) by the Excepted Holder shall not constitute Beneficial
Ownership and/or Constructive Ownership of Common Shares by the Excepted Holder.


 


1.4       Except
as specifically provided in Section 1.1, this Agreement does not waive any restrictions or limitations set forth in Section
5.9 of the Charter as they apply to the shares of Capital Stock Beneficially Owned and Constructively Owned by the Excepted Holder.


 


2. LIMITATIONS AND OTHER MATTERS


 






    F-2


     


    

 


2.1       In
no event shall the Ownership Limit Waiver permit any Individual’s Beneficial Ownership of the shares of Capital Stock of
the Company to exceed, at any time, the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit set forth in Section 5.9(i) of the Charter and determined
without regard to any provision of this Agreement, but taking into account the limitations contained in Section 16.7 of the Partnership
Agreement relating to Section 382 of the Code.  For the purpose of this Agreement, “Individual” has
the meaning provided in Section 542(a)(2) of the Code, as modified by Section 856(h)(3) of the Code.


 


2.2       
For the Ownership Limit Waiver to be effective, the Investor must execute a counterpart signature page to this Agreement and complete
and make the representations and covenants set forth in the Certificate of Representations and Covenants, the form of which is
attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate”), and must deliver such Certificate if such breach
of the representations or covenants would cause the Company to be treated as “closely held” within the meaning of Section
856(a)(6) of the Code to the Company. Except as otherwise determined by the Company, the Ownership Limit Waiver shall cease to
be effective upon any breach of the representations or covenants set forth herein or in the Certificate. In addition, if the Ownership
Limit Waiver ceases to be effective as a result of the operation of the preceding sentence, the shares of Capital Stock of the
Company that would otherwise be in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit shall be deemed to have been transferred to a
Trust in accordance with 5.9(ii)(a)(II) of the Charter to the extent necessary to preserve the Company’s qualification as
a real estate investment trust pursuant to Section 856 of the Code.


 


2.3       The
Investor shall deliver to the Company, at such times as may reasonably be requested by the Company (it being acknowledged that
the Company may reasonably make such request no more than once per calendar year), a certificate signed by an authorized officer
of the Investor to the effect that the Investor has complied and expects to continue to comply with its representations and covenants
set forth by this Agreement and the accompanying Certificate. If so requested by the Company, the Investor will cooperate with
the Company in investigating any direct or indirect relationship (i) between or among an Excepted Holder, one or more Persons holding
an equity interest in such Excepted Holder (such Person, an “Interest Holder”) and any non-Interest Holder owning,
directly or indirectly, shares of Capital Stock of the Company, in the event the Company in its discretion determines such relationship
is relevant for purposes of applying (A) the constructive ownership provisions contained in Section 544(a) of the Code, as modified
by Section 856(h) of the Code or (B) the constructive ownership provisions of Section 318(a) of the Code (as modified by Section
382(l)(3) of the Code) in order to determine a Person’s ownership of Shares of the Company for purposes of Section 382 of
the Code, or (ii) that the Excepted Holder and any Person whose ownership of shares of Capital Stock of the Company would be attributed
to the Excepted Holder under Section 318(a) of the Code (as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code) may have with the Company’s
tenants (other than any tenant that is a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code)
or “independent contractors” (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code).


 


2.4       The
Ownership Limit Waiver shall automatically be deemed to have been revoked (prospectively or, as necessary in order to protect the
Company’s qualification as a real estate investment trust under the Code, retroactively) without any further action if any
representation or warranty contained in the Certificate is or becomes incorrect or false, or any undertaking or agreement contained
in this Agreement is breached, whether at the time of execution and delivery of this Agreement or at any time thereafter, if such
representation or warranty being or becoming incorrect or false, or such undertaking or agreement being breached, would cause the
Company to be treated as “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(a)(6) of the Code. The Company shall promptly
notify the Investor upon determining that the Ownership Limit Waiver has been revoked pursuant to this Section 2.4.


 






    F-3


     


    

 


3. TERM


 


3.1       The
term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date of this Agreement, and shall terminate on the earliest of (i) after the date
on which the Excepted Holder first acquires Excepted Stock in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit, the first day thereafter
on which the Excepted Holder no longer Beneficially Owns or Constructively Owns Excepted Stock in excess of the Aggregate Share
Ownership Limit or (ii) the earliest date on which any of the conditions set forth in Sections 1 or 2 of this Agreement
are no longer true or accurate, or otherwise have been violated.


 


4. MISCELLANEOUS


 


4.1       All
questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the domestic laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision (whether
of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than
the State of Maryland.


 


4.2       This
Agreement may be signed by the parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so signed and delivered shall be an original,
but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.


 


4.3       All
references to any Code provision shall be deemed to include any successor provisions of the Code and any regulatory, judicial or
administrative amendment or interpretation of such statutory provisions.


 


4.4       The
Recitals to this Agreement are incorporated into and are deemed a part of this Agreement.

Pursuant to the Securities

desires to purchase the Preferred Share and the Convertible Preferred Units that are ultimately convertible and/or redeemable
into Common Shares. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Waiver Agreement
(defined below).


 


The undersigned officer
or manager of the Investor hereby certifies on behalf of the Excepted Holder, and affirms as of the date hereof (the “Determination
Date”), the accuracy of the representations set forth in this Certificate of Representations and Covenants for Ownership
Limit Waiver (this “Certificate”) on which the Company will rely with regard to granting the Ownership Limit
Waiver for the Excepted Holder and Excepted Holder Limit pursuant to that certain Ownership Limit Waiver Agreement between the
Company and the Investor, dated as of the date hereof (the “Waiver Agreement”). To the extent that the representations
set forth below refer to future conduct, such representations constitute covenants of the Investor.


 


		1.	As of the Determination Date and immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement,
the Excepted Holder does not actually own, Beneficially Own or Constructively Own any shares of Capital Stock of the Company.



 


		2.	Commencing with the Determination Date and at all times thereafter during which the Excepted Holder actually owns, Beneficially
Owns or Constructively Owns shares of Capital Stock in excess of the Aggregate Share Ownership Limit:



 


		(a)	based on the information available to the Investor as of the Determination Date or at any time
subsequent during which the Waiver Agreement remains in effect, and assuming the exercise of reasonable and continuing efforts
by the Excepted Holder to obtain such information, no Individual owns or will own, either directly or after giving effect to the
constructive ownership rules in Section 544(a) of the Code, as modified by Section 856(h) of the Code, any equity interest in the
Exempt Holder, or any option to acquire such equity interest or any other interest convertible to an equity interest in the Exempt

		(b)	the Excepted Holder will not purchase or acquire additional shares of Capital Stock of the Company
(other than Excepted Stock up to the Excepted Holder Limit) except to the extent that the Excepted Holder has obtained any necessary
modification to the Charter or additional or modified exemption pursuant to the requirements of the Charter.



 






    F-6


     


    

 


		(c)	other than a tenant that is a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company within the meaning of Section
856(l) of the Code, the Excepted Holder has not or will not actually own or Constructively Own an interest in a tenant of the Company
(or a tenant of any entity owned or controlled by the Company) that would cause the Company to actually own or Constructively Own,
more than a 9.9% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant.



 


		(d)	the Excepted Holder does not and will not actually own or Constructively Own more than 35% of the
total combined voting power (or 35% of the total shares of all classes of stock) of any Person that is a corporation, or more than
a 35% interest in the assets or net profit of any Person that is not a corporation, if such Person is engaged by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries pursuant to a management agreement or other similar service contract to perform services for the Company
or any of its subsidiaries as an “independent contractor” (within the meaning of Section 856(d)(3) of the Code and
the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder) or an “eligible independent contractor” (within the meaning of Section
856(d)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder). For purposes of this representation, the constructive
ownership rules of Section 318(a) of the Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code, shall apply in determining the ownership
of a Person.



 


		3.	The Investor agrees to notify the Company promptly after it obtains knowledge that any representation
contained herein is incorrect or may no longer continue to be accurate.



 


		4.	The Investor understands and acknowledges that:



 


		(a)	The Ownership Limit Waiver and Excepted Holder Limit are for the sole benefit of the Excepted Holder
and may not be assigned or transferred, including by operation of law or in connection with a merger, consolidation, transfer of
equity interests or other transaction involving any party benefiting from the Ownership Limit Waiver, by the Excepted Holder without
prior written consent of the Company.

owned directly or indirectly by the Excepted Holder and not to any other Shares owned by the Excepted Holder.



 


		(c)	The Excepted Stock remains subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in Sections 5.9(ii)(a)(I)(B)

Charter) will result in such Excepted Stock being automatically transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 5.9(ii)(a)(II)
of the Charter.

		(e)	Except as otherwise determined by the Company, the Ownership Limit Waiver shall cease to be effective
upon the breach of the representations or covenants set forth herein.



 


		(f)	All questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Certificate shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to any choice
of law or conflict of law provision (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application

Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “State Office”) on July 24, 2013, as amended by the
Certificate of Amendment thereto as filed in the State Office on [●], 2017 (as so amended, the “Opco Certificate”);
a Certificate of Officer of the Company dated on or about the date hereof and attached hereto as Schedule B; the Docket Search
(as defined below); and a certification of good standing of Opco obtained as of a recent date from the State Office. In such examinations,
we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity
to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies or drafts of documents to be executed and the legal capacity of
natural persons to complete the execution of documents. We have further assumed for the purposes of this opinion: (i) except to
the extent addressed by our opinion set forth in paragraph 1 below, the due formation or organization, valid existence and good
standing of each entity that is a party to any of the documents examined by us under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation
or organization; (ii) except to the extent addressed by our opinion set forth in paragraph 2 below, the due authorization, adoption,
execution and delivery of each of the above-referenced documents by each of the parties thereto; (iii) that each Transaction Document
constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of each of the parties thereto and is enforceable against each of the parties
thereto in accordance with its terms; (iv) that each Transaction Document has been duly authorized, executed and delivered under
Maryland law by the Company in its capacity as the general partner of Opco for and on behalf of Opco; (v) that, for purposes of
our opinions set forth in paragraphs 4 and 5 below, that no preemptive or other similar rights will be granted pursuant to Section
4.3 of the Opco Partnership Agreement with respect to the issuance of the Conversion OP Units (as defined below) or the PIK Distribution
Class C Units (as defined below); (vi) that either no Class B Units were required to be issued pursuant to Section 16.1 of the
Initial Opco Partnership Agreement following the execution and delivery by Opco of the Purchase Agreement or the Advisor waived
its right to be issued such Class B Units; and (vii) that the documents examined by us are in full force and effect, express the
entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof and have not been amended, supplemented
or otherwise modified, except as referenced herein. We have not reviewed any documents other than those identified above in connection
with this opinion, and we have assumed that there are no other documents that are contrary to or inconsistent with the opinions
expressed herein. No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the requirements of, or compliance with, federal or state securities
or blue sky laws. As to any facts material to our opinion, other than those assumed, we have relied without independent investigation
on the above-referenced documents and on the accuracy, as of the date hereof, of the factual matters therein contained. To the
extent our opinions in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8 below relate to any Delaware law, rule or regulation or the requirement for the approval,
authorization, consent, notice, ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or registration, declaration,
filing or other action with any Delaware Court (as defined below) or any governmental body or agency of the State of Delaware (a
“Delaware Governmental Authority”), our opinions relate only to laws, rules and regulations and requirements for any
approval, authorization, consent, notice, ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or registration,
declaration, filing or other action with any Delaware Court or any Delaware Governmental Authority that are of general application
and that, in our experience, are likely to have application to transactions of the type contemplated by the Transaction Documents
and the Opco Partnership Agreement (and not to laws, rules and regulations and requirements of law that might be implicated by
reason of the specific business activities of any of the above-referenced entities). To the extent our opinions in paragraphs 10
and 11 below relate to any Delaware law, rule or regulation or the requirement for the approval, authorization, consent, notice,
ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or registration, declaration, filing or other action
with any Delaware Court or any Delaware Governmental Authority, our opinions relate only to laws, rules and regulations and requirements
for any approval, authorization, consent, notice, ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or
registration, declaration, filing or other action with any Delaware Court or any Delaware Governmental Authority or Delaware Court
that are of general application and that, in our experience, are likely to have application to transactions of the type contemplated
by the Opco Partnership Agreement (and not to laws, rules and regulations and requirements of law that might be implicated by reason
of the specific business activities of any of the above-referenced entities). For purposes of our opinions set forth in paragraphs
6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 below, we have relied on a report summarizing a review of the docket entries on record on [●], 2017 (reflecting
the docket entries through the dates identified therein) conducted by an independent search firm identifying Opco as a defendant
party (the “Docket Search”) of the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware,
the United States District Court for the District of Delaware and the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware
(each, a “Delaware Court”). In addition, we note that each of the Transaction Documents is governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware and, for purposes of our opinions, we have assumed
that each of the Transaction Documents will be interpreted in accordance with the plain meaning of the written terms thereof as
such terms would be interpreted as a matter of Delaware law and we express no opinion with respect to any legal standards or concepts
under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.


 




     


     


    

  


Based on and subject
to the foregoing and to the qualifications and exceptions set forth below, and limited in all respects to matters of Delaware law,
it is our opinion that:


 


1.          Opco
is a duly formed and validly existing limited partnership in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all
requisite limited partnership power and authority to own, directly or indirectly through its Subsidiaries, its Properties and to
conduct its business, all as described in the Opco Partnership Agreement.


 


2.          Opco
has all requisite limited partnership power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations
thereunder. Each Transaction Document has been duly authorized by all requisite limited partnership action on the part of Opco
and has been duly executed and delivered by Opco. Opco has all requisite limited partnership power and authority to perform its
obligations under the Opco Partnership Agreement.


 


3.          The
issuance and sale of the Class C Units to the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Investor Class C Units”)
have been duly authorized by all necessary limited partnership action on the part of Opco and, when issued in accordance with the
Purchase Agreement, the Investor Class C Units will be validly issued. The issuance and sale of the Investor Class C Units is not
subject to any preemptive rights or other similar rights with respect to the issuance and sale of Partnership Interests in Opco
arising under the laws of the State of Delaware, the Initial Opco Partnership Agreement or the Opco Partnership Agreement.


 


4.          Upon
the conversion of the Investor Class C Units to OP Units in accordance with the provisions of the Opco Partnership Agreement, the
OP Units issuable upon such conversion (the “Conversion OP Units”) will be duly authorized and validly issued. The
issuance of the Conversion OP Units is not subject to any preemptive rights or other similar rights with respect to the issuance
and sale of Partnership Interests in Opco arising under the laws of the State of Delaware or the Opco Partnership Agreement.


 




     


     


    

  


5.          Upon
the issuance of the Class C Units as PIK Distributions pursuant to the Opco Partnership Agreement (the “PIK Distribution
Class C Units”), the PIK Distribution Class C Units will be duly authorized and validly issued. The issuance of the PIK Distribution
Class C Units is not subject to any preemptive rights or other similar rights with respect to the issuance and sale of Partnership
Interests in Opco arising under the laws of the State of Delaware or the Opco Partnership Agreement.


 


6.          The
execution and delivery by Opco of the Purchase Agreement and the Framework Agreement, and the performance of its obligations and
the consummation of the transactions described therein and contemplated thereby performed or consummated by Opco prior to the adoption
of the Opco Partnership Agreement, did not violate (a) the Initial Opco Partnership Agreement or the Opco Certificate, (b) any
applicable Delaware law, rule or regulation or (c) based solely on the Docket Search, any judgment, order, writ or decree of any
Delaware Court.


 


7.          The
execution and delivery by Opco of the Transaction Documents do not, and the performance by Opco of its obligations under the Transaction
Documents will not, including, without limitation, the sale and issuance of the Investor Class C Units and the consummation by
Opco of the transactions described therein and contemplated thereby, violate (a) the Opco Partnership Agreement or the Opco Certificate,
(b) any applicable Delaware law, rule or regulation or (c) based solely on the Docket Search, any judgment, order, writ or decree
of any Delaware Court.


 


8.          No
approval, authorization, consent, notice, ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or registration,
declaration, filing or other action with any Delaware Court or any Delaware Governmental Authority is required in connection with
the execution and delivery by Opco of the Transaction Documents, the consummation by Opco of the transactions described therein
and contemplated thereby or the performance by Opco of its obligations thereunder, except such as have been obtained or made.


 




     


     


    

  


9.          The
Opco Partnership Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Opco, enforceable against Opco in accordance with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, fraudulent
conveyance, moratorium or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
and remedies, as from time to time in effect, (b) application of equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), (c) considerations of public policy or the effect of applicable law relating
to fiduciary duties, (d) principles of course of dealing or course of performance and standards of good faith, fair dealing, materiality
and reasonableness that may be applied by a court to the exercise of rights and remedies and the possible unavailability of the
remedy of injunctive or other equitable relief and (e) the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing; provided, that we express
no opinion with respect to the enforceability of (i) any document referenced in the Opco Partnership Agreement, (ii) any purported
waiver or consent granted by any Partner pursuant to the Opco Partnership Agreement except to the extent such Partner may so waive
or consent and has effectively so waived or consented in accordance with applicable law, (iii) the Opco Partnership Agreement against
or with respect to any Person not a party thereto, (iv) the creation, perfection or priority of any security interest that may
be created pursuant to the Opco Partnership Agreement and (v) the agreement to agree at a future date set forth in the proviso
to Section 9.3(e) of the Partnership Agreement; and provided, further, that (a) the obligation of Opco to make distributions to
Partners will be subject to the provisions of Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act,
6 Del. C. §§ 17-101 et seq. (the “Delaware Act”); (b) any restrictions on
the transfer of Partnership Interests set forth in the Partnership Agreement will be subject to the provisions of Sections 17-703
and 17-705 of the Delaware Act, (c) the provisions of Section 11.2 of the Opco Partnership Agreement, to the extent they purport
to restrict a voluntary withdrawal by the Company, will be subject to the provisions of Section 17-602 of the Delaware Act; and
(d) the provisions of Section 13.1 of the Opco Partnership Agreement will be subject to the provisions of Section 17-801 of the
Delaware Act.


 


10.         The
execution and delivery by the Company of the Opco Partnership Agreement do not violate the Initial Opco Partnership Agreement.
The execution and delivery by the Company of the Opco Partnership Agreement do not, and the performance by each of Opco and the
Company of its respective obligations thereunder and the consummation by each of Opco and the Company of the transactions described
therein and contemplated thereby will not, violate (a) the Opco Partnership Agreement or the Opco Certificate, (b) any applicable
Delaware law, rule or regulation or (c) based solely on the Docket Search, any judgment, order, writ or decree of any Delaware
Court.


 


11.         No
approval, authorization, consent, notice, ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or registration,
declaration, filing or other action with any Delaware Court or any Delaware Governmental Authority is required in connection with
the execution and delivery by the Company of the Opco Partnership Agreement, the consummation by each of Opco and the Company of
the transactions described therein and contemplated thereby or the performance by each of Opco and the Company of its respective
obligations thereunder, except such as have been obtained or made.


 


In connection with the
opinion set forth in paragraph 6 above, we express no opinion with respect to Purchase Agreement to the extent that the Purchase
Agreement would be interpreted to limit Opco’s ability to satisfy its obligations in respect of mandatory indemnification
and advancement rights of Indemnitees under the Initial Opco Partnership Agreement.

holding GP Units and/or OP Units in proportion to each such Partner’s respective Percentage Interest with respect to such

Net Sales Proceeds in respect of such Termination Listing Amount, the Termination Liquidity Amount or the Investment Liquidity
Amount pursuant to Sections 5.1(f)(ii) or (iii), as the case may be.

(b) avoid any federal income or excise
tax liability;


 




    	 	32	 



     


    

 


provided, however, that the General Partner shall
not be bound to comply with this covenant to the extent such distributions would

mortgages or other types of debt obligations to which the Partnership may be subject in conjunction with borrowed funds.


 


5.3 Withholding


 


With respect to any withholding tax or other
similar tax liability or obligation to which the Partnership may be subject as a result of any act or status of any Partner or
the Special Limited Partner or to which the Partnership becomes subject with respect to any Partnership Unit or the Special Limited
Partner Interest, the Partnership shall have the right to withhold amounts distributable pursuant to this Article V to such Partner
or the Special Limited Partner or with respect to such Partnership Units or the Special Limited Partner Interest, to the extent
of the amount of such withholding tax or other similar tax liability or obligation pursuant to the provisions contained in Section
10.5, and the amount of any withholding shall reduce the right of such Partner or the Special Limited Partner to future distribution
to the extent provided in Section 10.5.

in accordance with Section 4.2 or 4.3, the distribution priorities set forth in Section 5.1 shall be amended, as necessary, to

damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and expenses),
judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, “Claims”), that relate to the operations of the Partnership
or the General Partner as set forth in this Agreement, in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved,

of the Indemnitee made in good faith, in the best interests of the Partnership or the General Partner, (B) such Claim was not the
result of negligence or misconduct by the Indemnitee, (C) the Indemnitee (if other than the General Partner) was acting on behalf
of or performing services for the Partnership and (D) such indemnification is not satisfied or recoverable from the assets of the
Stockholders of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitee (other than the General Partner) shall be indemnified

adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to such Indemnitee, (2) such allegations
have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to such Indemnitee, or (3) a court of

in which the Common Stock was offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities law.


 


(ii) Without limitation, the foregoing
indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty (except a guaranty by a limited partner

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 7.6 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such
indebtedness.


 




    	 	41	 



     


    

 


(iii) Any indemnification pursuant
to this Section 7.6 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner

Indemnitee 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 7.6 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

such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnities are indemnified.


 


(d) The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated
to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnities 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.


 


(e) For purposes of this Section 7.6, the Partnership
shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by such
Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan
or participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant
to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.6. 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.

of the Partners (other than the General Partner) to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in
this Agreement.

repeal of this Section 7.6 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the Partnership’s
liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.6, as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification, or repeal with
respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or
repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.


 


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


 


(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

or expense for which the General Partner is obligated to indemnify the Partnership under any other agreement between the General

shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners
or the Special Limited Partner in connection with such decisions; provided that the General Partner (and its investment
advisor) has acted in good faith.

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


 


(e) 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 General
Partner’s and its officers’ and directors’ liability to the Partnership, the Special Limited Partner and the
Limited Partners 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.

8.7 Conversion and Exchange of
Special Limited Partner Interests.


 


(a) Conversion of Listing Note or Termination
Note.


 


(i) If the Special Limited Partner
is entitled to receive distributions of Net Sales Proceeds pursuant to the Partnership’s obligation under a Listing Note
or a Termination Note, at such time as the Capital Account balance of the Special Limited Partner attributable to the Special Limited
Partner Interest is equal to the remaining amount of Net Sales Proceeds distributable to the Special Limited Partner pursuant to
the Listing Note or Termination Note, respectively, the Special Limited Partner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to
convert all or a portion of the Special Limited Partner Interest into OP Units. The Special Limited Partner shall provide written
notice to the General Partner of its intention to convert all or a portion of its Special Limited Partner Interest at least ten
(10) days prior to the date on which the conversion is to occur, and such notice shall indicate the amount of the Special Limited
Partner Interest that the Special Limited Partner intends to convert. The maximum number of OP Units issuable upon a conversion
of the Special Limited Partner Interest shall be equal to the quotient of (i) the net amount of the Partnership’s remaining
obligation pursuant to the Listing Note or Termination Note on the date of conversion divided by (ii) the product of (A)
the Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of conversion multiplied by (B) the Exchange Factor. Only a whole number
of OP Units may be issuable upon a conversion of the Special Limited Partner Interest. The Special Limited Partner covenants and
agrees with the Partnership that the Special Limited Partner Interest shall be free and clear of all liens. The conversion of all
or a portion of the Special Limited Partner Interest shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable date
of conversion, as of which time the Special Limited Partner 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 OP Units issuable upon such conversion.


 


(ii) Exchange. OP Units issuable
upon a conversion of the Special Limited Partner Interest as set forth in this Section 8.7(a) shall be exchangeable for cash or,
at the option of the Partnership, for shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 8.6.


 


(iii) Impact of Conversion for
Purposes of Subparagraph 1(c)(iii) of Exhibit B. For purposes of making future allocations under subparagraph 1(c)(iii) of
Exhibit B, the Special Limited Partner’s Capital Account balance shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by
an amount equal to the product of (i) the number of OP Units issued in the conversion multiplied by (ii) the product of
(A) the Value of one share of Common Stock on the date of conversion multiplied by (B) the Exchange Factor.


 


(b) Conversion of Termination Listing Amount,
Termination Liquidity Amount or Investment Liquidity Amount. At such time as the Special Limited Partner is entitled to the
Termination Listing Amount, Termination Liquidity Amount or Investment Liquidity Amount, the Special Limited Partner shall have
the right, but not the obligation, to contribute the entire Special Limited Partner Interest to the Partnership in exchange for
OP Units in a transaction intended to qualify as a contribution of property pursuant to Section 721 of the Code. The Special Limited
Partner shall notify the General Partner of its intention to exchange its Special Limited Partner Interest as soon as reasonably
practicable after learning of the event that will give rise to its right to receive the Termination Listing Amount, Termination
Liquidity Amount or Investment Liquidity Amount. The number of OP Units issuable upon a conversion of the Special Limited Partner
Interest shall be equal to the quotient of (i) the Termination Listing Amount, Termination Liquidity Amount or Investment Liquidity
Amount, as the case may be, divided by (ii) the product of (A) in the case of the Termination Listing Amount or the Termination
Liquidity Amount, the Value of one share of Common Stock, and in the case of the Investment Liquidity Amount, the Investment Liquidity
Value per one share of Common Stock multiplied by (B) the Exchange Factor. The Special Limited Partner covenants and agrees
with the Partnership that the Special Limited Partner Interest shall be free and clear of all liens. The conversion of all or a
portion of the Special Limited Partner Interest shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable date of
conversion, as of which time the Special Limited Partner 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 OP Units issuable upon such conversion.

10.1 Preparation of Tax Returns


 


(a) The General Partner shall arrange for the
preparation and timely filing of all returns of Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Partnership

of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by the Limited Partners and the Special Limited Partner for federal
and state income tax reporting purposes. The U.S. federal income tax return of the Partnership shall be filed annually on IRS Form
1065 (or such other successor form) or on any other IRS form as may be required.


 


(b) If required under the Code or applicable state
or local income tax law, the General Partner shall also arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns of income,
gains, deductions, losses and other items required of the Subsidiaries of the Partnership for U.S. federal and state income tax
purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within ninety (90) days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information
reasonably required by the Limited Partners and the Special Limited Partner for federal and state income tax reporting purposes.


 


10.2 Tax Elections


 


(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, the
General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code.


 


(b) The General Partner shall elect a permissible
method (which need not be the same method for each item or property) of eliminating the disparity between the Gross Asset Value
and the tax basis for each item of property contributed to the Partnership or to a Subsidiary of the Partnership pursuant to the
Regulations promulgated under the provisions of Section 704(c) of the Code.


 


(c) The General Partner shall have the right
to seek to revoke any tax election it makes, including the election under Section 754 of the Code, upon the General Partner’s
determination, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such revocation is in the best interests of the Partners.

(d) The Partners, intending to be legally bound,
hereby authorize the Partnership to make an election (the “Safe Harbor Election”) to have the “liquidation
value” safe harbor provided in Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(1) and the Proposed Revenue Procedure set forth
in IRS Notice 2005-43, as such safe harbor may be modified when such proposed guidance is issued in final form or as amended by
subsequently issued guidance (the “Safe Harbor”), apply to any interest in the Partnership transferred to a
service provider while the Safe Harbor Election remains effective, to the extent such interest meets the Safe Harbor requirements
(collectively, such interests are referred to as “Safe Harbor Interests”). The tax matters partner is authorized
and directed to execute and file the Safe Harbor Election on behalf of the Partnership and the Partners if and when the Safe Harbor
Election becomes available. The Partnership and the Partners (including any person to whom an interest in the Partnership is transferred
in connection with the performance of services) hereby agree to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor (including forfeiture
allocations) with respect to all Safe Harbor Interests and to prepare and file all U.S. federal income tax returns reporting the
tax consequences of the issuance and vesting of Safe Harbor Interests consistent with such final Safe Harbor guidance. The General
Partner is authorized to take such actions as are necessary to achieve, under the Safe Harbor, the effect that the election and
compliance with all requirements of the Safe Harbor referred to above would be intended to achieve under Proposed Treasury Regulation
Section 1.83-3, including amending this Agreement.


 


10.3 Tax Matters Partner


 


(a) (i) The General Partner shall be the “tax
matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes.

to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address, taxpayer identification number, and profit

such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners, the Special Limited Partner and the Assignees.


 


(iii) The tax matters partner is authorized,
but not required:


 


(A) to enter into any settlement with

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 (including
the Special Limited Partner), except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner or the Special Limited Partner


 


(1) 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 the Special Limited Partner; or


 




    	 	52	 



     


    

 


(2) who is a “notice partner”
(as defined in Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of
the Code);


 


(B) if a notice of a final administrative
adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner or the Special Limited Partner for
tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment,
including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the filing of a complaint for refund with the United

complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request;


 


(E) 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 account of by a Partner
or the Special Limited Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and


 


(F) to take any other action on behalf
of the Partners, the Special Limited Partner or 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

if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a one hundred eighty (180) month period as provided in Section

10.5 Withholding


 


(a) Each Limited Partner and the Special Limited
Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from, or pay on behalf of or with respect to, such Limited Partner or the
Special Limited Partner any amount of U.S. 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 or the
Special Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant
to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code.


 


(b) (i) Any amount paid on behalf of or with
respect to a Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner
or the Special Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner or the Special Limited Partner as the case may
be within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless


 


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


 


(B) 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 or the Special Limited Partner.


 


(ii) Any amounts withheld pursuant
to the foregoing clauses (i)(A) or (B) shall be treated as having been distributed to the Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner.


 


(c) (i) Each Limited Partner and the Special

Partnership Interest and such Special Limited Partner’s Special Limited Partner Interest, as the case may be, to secure such
Limited Partner’s or Special Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid
pursuant to this Section 10.5.


 


(ii) (A) If a Limited Partner or the Special Limited
Partner fails to pay when due any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.5, the General Partner may, in its
sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner or Special
Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting Limited Partner or Special Limited
Partner.


 




    	 	54	 



     


    

 


(B) Without limitation, in such event,
the General Partner shall have the right to receive distributions that would otherwise be distributable to such defaulting Limited
Partner or Special Limited Partner until such time as such loan, together with all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and
any such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been distributed to the defaulting Limited
Partner or Special Limited Partner and immediately paid by the defaulting Limited Partner or Special Limited Partner to the General
Partner in repayment of such loan.


 


(iii) Any amount payable by a Limited
Partner or the Special Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the highest base or prime rate of interest published from
time to time by The Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points, but in no event higher than the maximum lawful rate of
interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until
such amount is paid in full.


 


(iv) Each Limited Partner or the Special
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.

by which the General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person, or a Limited
Partner purports to assign all or any part of its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment,
gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise.

11.2 Transfer of the General Partner’s
General Partner Interest


 


(a) The General Partner may not Transfer any
of its General Partner Interest or withdraw as General Partner, or Transfer any of its Limited Partner Interest, except


 


(i) if holders of at least two-thirds
of the Limited Partner Interests consent to such Transfer or withdrawal;


 


(ii) if such Transfer is to an entity
which is wholly owned by the General Partner and is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary as defined in Section 856(i) of the Code; or


 


(iii) in connection with a transaction
described in Section 11.2(c) or 11.2(d) (as applicable)


 


(b) If the General Partner withdraws as general
partner of the Partnership in accordance with Section 11.2(a), the General Partner’s General Partner Interest shall immediately
be converted into a Limited Partner Interest.


 


(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section
11.2(d), the General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination of the General Partner with or
into another Person (other than a merger in which the General Partner is the surviving entity) or sale of all or substantially
all of its assets, or any reclassification, or any recapitalization of outstanding Common Stock (other than a change in par value,
or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination of Common Stock) (a “Transaction”),
unless


 


(i) in connection with the Transaction
all Limited Partners will either receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash,
securities, or other property equal to the product of the Exchange Factor and the amount of cash, securities or other property
or value paid in the Transaction to or received by a holder of one share of Common Stock corresponding to such Partnership Unit
in consideration of one share of Common Stock at any time during the period from and after the date on which the Transaction is
consummated; provided, however, that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer
(“Offer”) shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock,
each holder of Partnership Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units for the amount of cash, securities,
or other property which a Limited Partner would have received had it


 


(A) exercised its Exchange Right and


 


(B) sold, tendered or exchanged pursuant
to the Offer the Common Stock received upon exercise of the Exchange Right immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer.


 


The foregoing is not intended to,
and does not, affect the ability of (i) a Stockholder of the General Partner to sell its stock in the General Partner or (ii) the
General Partner to perform its obligations (under agreement or otherwise) to such Stockholders (including the fulfillment of any
obligations with respect to registering the sale of stock under applicable securities laws).


 




    	 	56	 



     


    

 


(d) (i) Notwithstanding Section 11.2(c), the
General Partner may merge into or consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or consolidation


 


(A) substantially all of the assets
of the successor or surviving entity (the “Surviving General Partner”), other than Partnership Units held by
the General Partner, are contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for Partnership Units with a fair
market value equal to the value of the assets so contributed as determined by the Surviving General Partner in good faith and


 


(B) the Surviving General Partner expressly
agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner hereunder.


 


(ii) (A) Upon such contribution and
assumption, the Surviving General Partner shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement and the Exchange Rights Agreement
as set forth in this Section 11.2(d).


 


(B) (1) The Surviving General Partner shall in good faith
arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Exchange Factor for a Partnership Unit after any such merger or consolidation
so as to approximate the existing method for such calculation as closely as reasonably possible.


 


(2) Such calculation shall take into
account, among other things, the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such merger or
consolidation by a holder of Common Stock or options, warrants or other rights relating thereto, and which a holder of Partnership
Units could have acquired had such Partnership Units been redeemed for Common Stock immediately prior to such merger or consolidation.


 


(C) Such amendment to this Agreement
shall provide for adjustment to such method of calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments
provided for with respect to the Exchange Factor.


 


(iii) The above provisions of this
Section 11.2(d) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder.


 


11.3 Limited Partners’ Rights
to Transfer


 


(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c),
11.3(d), 11.3(e), 11.4 and 11.6, a Limited Partner may, without the consent of the General Partner, Transfer all or any portion
of its Limited Partner Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic right as a Limited Partner. In order to effect
such transfer, the Limited Partner must deliver to the General Partner a duly executed copy of the instrument making such transfer
and such instrument must evidence the written acceptance by the assignee of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
represent that such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.


 




    	 	57	 



     


    

 


(b) (i) If a Limited Partner is Incapacitated,
the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall
have all of the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose
of settling or managing the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to Transfer all or any part of
his or its interest in the Partnership.


 


(ii) 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
by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units if it reasonably believes (based on the advice of counsel) such Transfer would require
filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or would otherwise violate any federal or state
securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Units.


 


(d) No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its
Partnership Units may be made to any Person if


 


(i) it would adversely affect the
ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under
Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code;


 


(ii) it would result in the Partnership
being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes;


 


(iii) such Transfer would 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(c) of the Code);


 


(iv) such Transfer would, in the opinion
of legal counsel for 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;


 


(v) such Transfer would subject the
Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended;


 


(vi) such Transfer is a sale or exchange,
and such sale or exchange would, when aggregated with all other sales and exchanges during the 12-month period ending on the date
of the proposed Transfer, result in 50% or more of the interests in Partnership capital and profits being sold or exchanged during
such 12-month period without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion;
or


 




    	 	58	 



     


    

 


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


 


(e) No transfer of any Partnership Units may
be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations)
to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability (within the meaning of Section 1.752-1(a)(2) of
the Regulations), without the consent of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided,
however, that as a condition to such consent the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership
and the General Partner to exchange for the Cash Amount any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held simultaneously
with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to
such lender under Section 752 of the Code.


 


(f) Any Transfer in contravention of any of
the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall be void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or recognized by, the Partnership.


 


11.4 Substituted Limited Partners


 


(a) (i) No Limited Partner shall have the right
to substitute a Permitted Transferee for a Limited Partner in its place.


 


(ii) The General Partner shall, however,
have the right to consent to the admission of a Permitted Transferee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner pursuant
to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole
and absolute discretion.


 


(iii) The General Partner’s
failure or refusal to permit such transferee to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action
against the Partnership or any Partner.


 


(b) 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.


 


(c) (i) No Permitted Transferee will be admitted
as a Substituted Limited Partner, unless such transferee has furnished to the General Partner evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory
to the General Partner of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and, as it relates to the Substituted Limited Partners,
the Exchange Rights Agreement, including the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof.


 


(ii) 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.


 




    	 	59	 



     


    

 


11.5 Assignees


 


(a) If the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section
11.4(a), such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement.


 


(b) An Assignee shall be deemed to have had
assigned to it, and shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, Net
Property Gain, Net Property Loss, and any other items of gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership attributable to the
Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose
under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any matter presented to the Limited Partners,
for a vote (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted on such matter in the same proportion as all other Partnership
Units held by Limited Partners are voted).


 


(c) If any such transferee desires to make a
further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article 11
to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.


 


11.6 General Provisions


 


(a) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the
Partnership other than as a result of a permitted Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance
with this Article 11 or, as it relates to the Limited Partners, pursuant to exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to
the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement.


 


(b) (i) Any Limited Partner which shall Transfer
all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 shall cease to be a Limited Partner upon the admission
of all Assignees of such Partnership Units as Substituted Limited Partners.


 


(ii) Similarly, any Limited Partner
which shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units pursuant to an exchange of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to an Exchange
Rights Agreement shall cease to be a Limited Partner.


 


(c) Other than pursuant to the Exchange Rights
Agreement or with the consent of the General Partner, transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made as of the first day
of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership.


 


(d) (i) If any Partnership Interest is transferred
or assigned during the Partnership’s fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 or exchanged pursuant
to the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses,
Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such 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 in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method
or such other method permitted by the Code as the General Partner may select.


 


 




    	 	60	 



     


    

 


(ii) Solely for purposes of making
such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the Transfer or assignment occurs shall be allocated to the
transferee Partner, and none of such items for the calendar month in which an exchange occurs shall be allocated to the exchanging
Partner, provided, however, that the General Partner may adopt such other conventions relating to allocations in
connection with transfers, assignments, or exchanges as it determines are necessary or appropriate.


 


(iii) All distributions pursuant to
Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) attributable to Partnership Units, with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before
the date of such Transfer, assignment, or exchange of such Partnership Units, shall be made to the transferor Partner or the exchanging
Partner, as the case may be, and in the case of a Transfer or assignment other than an exchange, all distributions pursuant to
Section 5.1(a) and Section 5.1(b) thereafter attributable to such Partnership Units shall be made to the transferee Partner.


 


(e) In addition to any other restrictions on
transfer herein contained, including the provisions of this Article 11, in no event may any Transfer or assignment of a Partnership
Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to Section 8.6) be made without the express consent of the General Partner, in its
sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest;
(ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or
rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if in the opinion of legal
counsel to the Partnership such transfer would cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes
(except as a result of the exchange for Common Stock of all Partnership 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, there would be a significant risk
that such transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income tax purposes (except
as a result of the exchange for Common Stock of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction
expressly permitted under Section 11.2); (vi) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant
to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (vii) if such transfer is effectuated through an “established securities
market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of
the Code or such transfer causes the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined
in Section 469(k)(2) or Section 7704(b) of the Code (provided, however, that this clause (vii) shall not be the basis
for limiting or restricting in any manner the exercise of the Exchange Right under Section 8.6 unless the General Partner determines
in its reasonable discretion (which may include obtaining an opinion of outside tax counsel) that, in the absence of such limitation
or restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership”
and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation); (viii) such transfer could adversely affect the ability of the General Partner
to remain qualified as a REIT; or (ix) if in the opinion of legal counsel of the transferring Partner (which opinion and counsel
are reasonably satisfactory to the Partnership), or legal counsel of the Partnership, such transfer would adversely affect the
ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section
857 or Section 4981 of the Code, if the General Partner has elected to be qualified as a REIT.


 




    	 	61	 



     


    

 


(f) The General Partner shall monitor the transfers
of interests in the Partnership to determine (i) if such interests are being traded on an “established securities market”
or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code; and
(ii) whether additional transfers of interests would result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for at least one of the
“safe harbors” set forth in Section 1.7704-1 of the Regulations (or such other guidance subsequently published by the
IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary market (or the
substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the “PTP Safe Harbors”).
The General Partner shall take all steps reasonably necessary or appropriate to prevent any trading of interests or any recognition
by the Partnership of transfers made on such markets and, except as otherwise provided herein, to insure that at least one of the
PTP Safe Harbors is met, including limiting or restricting the right of any holder of a Partnership Unit to exercise the Exchange
Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement to the extent the General Partner determines in
its reasonable discretion (which may include obtaining an opinion of outside tax counsel) that, in the absence of such limitation
or restriction, there is a significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership”
and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation.

not held by the General Partner.


 


13.2 Winding Up

for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities
and property and the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof,

assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners (including the Special Limited Partner), the Liquidator may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any asset except those necessary to satisfy
liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners, including the Special Limited Partner, as creditors) or distribute

at such time.

the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt.

rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner, the Limited Partners and the Special Limited
Partner pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

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


 




    	 	66	 



     


    

 


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

Deficit


 


If any Partner (other than a holder of Restricted

for all taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make
any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to such deficit, and such deficit shall not be considered a debt
owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever. If a holder of Restricted Class B Units has a deficit
balance in its Capital Account attributable to such Restricted Class B Units (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions
and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during with such liquidation occurs), such holder of Restricted Class
B Units shall restore and contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amount necessary to restore such deficit balance to
zero, but not to exceed an amount equal to the excess of the cash distributions of Net Sales Proceeds made (if any) to such holder
of Restricted Class B Units over the amount of Net Property Gain (including, to the extent necessary, individual items of income
and gain comprising Net Property Gain) and Liquidating Gain allocated to such holder of Restricted Class B Units in accordance
with subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B, in compliance with Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(3) of the Regulations,
which restoration and contribution shall be before the later to occur of (x) the end of the taxable year in which the Partnership
is liquidated, or (y) ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation of the Partnership, which amount shall be paid to creditors
of the Partnership or, if the amount contributed exceeds the amount due to creditors, shall be distributed to the Partners with
positive Capital Account balances.


 


13.4 Rights of Limited Partners

each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contributions and shall have
no right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership.


 


(b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
no Limited Partner shall have priority over any other Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions, or
allocations.


 


13.5 Notice of Dissolution


 


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


 




    	 	67	 



     


    

 


13.6 Termination of Partnership

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


 


13.7 Reasonable Time for Winding-Up


 


A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly
winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof in
order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect
among the Partners (including the Special Limited Partner) during the period of liquidation.

Article
16

CLASS B UNITS


 


16.1 Designation and Number


 


(a) A series of Partnership Units in the Partnership,
designated as the “Class B Units,” is hereby established. Except as set forth in this Article 16, Class B Units shall
have the same rights, privileges and preferences as the OP Units. Subject to the provisions of this Article 16 and the special
provisions of subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B, Class B Units shall be treated as Partnership Units, with all of the rights,
privileges and obligations attendant thereto. In connection with services provided by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement,
the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the Initial Limited Partner within thirty (30) days after the end of
each Quarter a number of Class B Units equal to the quotient of:


 




    	 	72	 



     


    

 


(i) Prior to the NAV Pricing Start
Date, (i) the excess of (A) the product of (y) the Cost of Assets multiplied by (z) 0.1875% over (B) any amounts
payable as an Oversight Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) for such Quarter divided by (ii) the Value of one share
of Common Stock as of the last day of such Quarter; provided, that if the amounts payable as an Oversight Fee for such Quarter
exceed the amount determined under clause (A) for such Quarter (an “Excess Oversight Fee”), no Class B Units
shall be issued for such Quarter and the Excess Oversight Fee shall be carried forward to the next succeeding Quarter and included
with and treated as amounts payable as an Oversight Fee for such Quarter for purposes of determining the amount of Class B Units
issuable for such Quarter; provided further, that the sum of (I) the amounts determined under clause (i) for a calendar
year plus (II) the amounts payable as an Oversight Fee for such calendar year, shall not be less than 0.75% of the Cost
of Assets for such calendar year; provided further, that each quarterly issuance of Class B Units shall be subject
to the approval of the General Partner’s board of directors.


 


(ii) After the NAV Pricing Start Date.
(i) the excess of (A) the product of (y) the lower of the Cost of Assets and the General Partner’s quarterly NAV multiplied
by (z) 0.1875% over (B) any amounts payable as an Oversight Fee (as defined in the Management Agreement) for such Quarter
divided by (ii) the NAV per share of Common Stock as of the last day of such Quarter; provided, that if there is
an Excess Oversight Fee, no Class B Units shall be issued for such Quarter and the Excess Oversight Fee shall be carried forward
to the next succeeding Quarter and included with and treated as amounts payable as an Oversight Fee for such Quarter for purposes
of determining the amount of Class B Units issuable for such Quarter; provided further, that the sum of (I) the amounts
determined under clause (i) for a calendar year plus (II) the amounts payable as an Oversight Fee for such calendar year,
shall not be less than 0.75% of the lower of the Cost of Assets and the General Partner’s NAV for such calendar year; provided
further, that each quarterly issuance of Class B Units shall be subject to the approval of the General Partner’s board
of directors.


 


(b) It is intended that the Partnership shall
maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between Class B Units and OP Units for conversion and other purposes. If an Adjustment
Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the Class B Units to maintain
a one-for-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between OP Units and Class B Units. The following shall be “Adjustment
Events:” (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding OP Units in Partnership Units, (B) the Partnership
subdivides the outstanding OP Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding OP Units into a smaller number of
units, or (C) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding OP Units by way of a reclassification
or recapitalization of its OP Units. If more than one Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment to the Class B 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 events shall not be Adjustment Events: (x) the issuance of Partnership Units in a financing,
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 in respect of a capital
contribution to the Partnership, including a contribution by the General Partner of proceeds from the sale of securities by the
General Partner. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the OP 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 Class B Units to maintain the
one-to-one correspondence described above, the General Partner shall have the right to make such adjustment to the Class B Units,
to the extent permitted by law, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may determine to
be appropriate under the circumstances. If an adjustment is made to the Class B 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 the filing of such certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each holder of Class
B Units setting forth the adjustment to his, her or its Class B Units and the effective date of such adjustment.


 




    	 	73	 



     


    

 


16.2 Special Provisions. Class
B Units shall be subject to the following special provisions:


 


(a) Restrictions and Forfeiture.


 


(i) All Class B Units when issued
shall be subject to forfeiture and shall constitute “Restricted Class B Units” and shall remain subject to forfeiture
as provided in this Section 16.2(a) until the requirements of this Section 16.2(a) have been satisfied.


 


(ii) One hundred percent (100%) of
the outstanding Restricted Class B Units shall no longer be subject to forfeiture and shall constitute “Unrestricted Class
B Units” at such time as:


 


(A) the value of the Partnership’s
assets (as determined by the General Partner) plus all distributions made under Sections 5.1(a), 5.1(b)(i) and 5.1(b)(ii) equals
the cumulative Net Investment plus the Priority Return on such cumulative Net Investment (the “Economic Hurdle”);
provided, that in the event of an OP Unit Transaction the determination of the value of the Partnership’s assets shall
take into account the offering price or transaction value of the Common Stock, as appropriate; and


 


(B) a Liquidity Event occurs concurrently
with or subsequent to the Economic Hurdle being met.


 


(iii) If the Advisory Agreement is
terminated for any reason other than pursuant to a Termination Without Cause, any outstanding Restricted Class B Units shall be
forfeited immediately. If the Advisory Agreement is terminated pursuant to a Termination Without Cause prior to the date on which
the Economic Hurdle has been met, any outstanding Restricted Class B Units shall be forfeited immediately. Upon such forfeiture,
such Restricted Class B Units shall immediately, and without any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding
for any purpose. No consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any Class B Units that have been forfeited. In
connection with any forfeiture of Class B Units, the balance of the Capital Account of a holder of Class B Units, if any, shall
be reduced by the amount of the Capital Account attributable to the forfeited Class B Units, and such reduction shall be reallocated
to all holders of OP Units, pro rata in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests with respect to OP Units.


 




    	 	74	 



     


    

 


(iv) The General Partner may in its
sole discretion provide for the acceleration, waiver or change of the forfeiture provisions contained in this Section 16.2(a),
in whole or in part, based on such factors or criteria as the General Partner may determine.


 


(b) Distributions. The holders of Class
B Units shall be entitled to (i) current distributions of Cash Available for Distribution pursuant to Section 5.1(a), (ii) distributions,
if any, of Net Sales Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.1(b)(iii), and (iii) distributions in liquidation of the Partnership pursuant
to Section 13.2.


 


(c) Allocations. Holders of Class B Units
shall be entitled to certain special allocations of gain under subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B.


 


(d) Exchange Right. The right to exchange
all or a portion of Partnership Units for cash or, at the option of the Partnership, for shares of Common Stock provided to Limited
Partners under Section 8.6 hereof shall not apply with respect to Class B Units unless and until the Class B Units
are converted to OP Units as provided in clause (e) below and Section 16.4 hereof.


 


(e) Conversion to OP Units. Unrestricted
Class B Units are eligible to be converted into OP Units in accordance with Section 16.4 hereof.


 


16.3 Voting


 


(a) Holders of Class B Units shall (a) have
the same voting rights as the Limited Partners, with the Class B Units voting as a single class with the OP Units and having one
vote per Class B Unit; and (b) have the additional voting rights that are expressly set forth below. So long as any Class B Units
remain outstanding, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Class
B 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 this Agreement applicable to Class B Units
so as to materially and adversely affect any right, privilege or voting power of the Class B Units or the holders of Class B Units
as such, unless such amendment, alteration, or repeal affects equally, ratably and proportionately the rights, privileges and voting
powers of the Limited Partners; but subject, in any event, to the following provisions:


 


(i) With respect to any OP Unit Transaction,
so long as the Class B Units are treated in accordance with Section 16.4(c) hereof, the consummation of such OP Unit Transaction
shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Class B Units
or the holders of Class B Units as such; and


 




    	 	75	 



     


    

 


(ii) Any creation or issuance of any
Partnership Units or of any class or series of Partnership Interest including additional OP Units or Class B Units whether ranking
senior to, junior to, or on a parity with the Class B 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 Class B Units or the holders of Class B Units as such.


 


(b) 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, all outstanding Class
B Units shall have been converted into OP Units.


 


16.4 Conversion of Class B Units


 


(a) Conversion. Restricted Class B Units
shall not be convertible into OP Units until they become Unrestricted Class B Units. At such time as the Economic Capital Account
Balance attributable to an Unrestricted Class B Unit is equal to the OP Unit Economic Balance, each such balance determined on
a per unit basis as of the effective date of conversion (the “Conversion Date”), such Unrestricted Class B Unit
shall automatically convert into one fully paid and non-assessable OP Unit, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made pursuant
to Section 16.1 hereof; provided, that an Unrestricted Class B Unit shall not be convertible into OP Units if the Economic
Capital Account Balance attributable to such Unrestricted Class B Unit is negative. Each holder of Class B Units covenants and
agrees with the Partnership that all Unrestricted Class B Units to be converted pursuant to this Section 16.4 shall be free and
clear of all liens. The conversion of Unrestricted Class B Units shall occur automatically after the close of business on the applicable
Conversion Date without any action on the part of such holder of Unrestricted Class B Units, as of which time such holder of Unrestricted
Class B Units shall be credited on the books and records of the Partnership with the issuance as of the opening of business on
the next day of the number of OP Units issuable upon such conversion. For purposes of determining the Economic Capital Account
Balance attributable to an Unrestricted Class B Unit, allocations pursuant to subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B shall be
made in such a manner so as to allow the greatest number of Class B Units to convert pursuant to this Section 16.4 at any time.


 


(b) Adjustment to Gross Asset Value.


 


(i) The General Partner shall provide
the holders of Class B Units the opportunity but not the obligation to make Capital Contributions to the Partnership in exchange
for OP Units in order to cause an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership’s assets within the meaning of paragraph
(b)(i) of the definition of Gross Asset Value up to two (2) times each fiscal year including:


 


(A) if the Partnership or the General
Partner shall be a party to any OP Unit Transaction; provided, that the General Partner shall give each holder of Class
B Units written notice of such OP Unit Transaction at least thirty (30) days prior to entering into any definitive agreement pursuant
to which the OP Unit Transaction would be consummated;


 




    	 	76	 



     


    

 


(B) upon a Listing; provided,
that the General Partner shall give each holder of Class B Units written notice of such Listing at least thirty (30) days prior
to such Listing; or


 


(C) upon a Termination Without Cause;
provided, that the General Partner shall give each holder of Class B Units written notice of such Termination Without Cause
at least thirty (30) days prior to such Termination Without Cause.


 


(ii) For purposes of clause (i) of
this Section 16.4(b), the value of each OP Unit issued in order to cause an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership’s
assets shall be an amount equal to the product of (y) the Value of a share of Common Stock as of the date the holder of Class B
Units makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership multiplied by (z) the Exchange Factor.


 


(iii) For the avoidance of doubt,
the issuance of Class B Units shall be treated as an event allowing for an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of the Partnership’s
assets within the meaning of paragraph (b)(iv) of the definition of Gross Asset Value.


 


(c) Impact of Conversion for Purposes of
Subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B. For purposes of making future allocations under subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B,
the portion of the Economic Capital Account Balance of the applicable holder of Unrestricted Class B Units that is treated as attributable
to his, her or its Class B Units shall be reduced, as of the date of conversion, by the product of the number of Unrestricted Class
B Units converted and the OP Unit Economic Balance.


 


(d) OP Unit Transactions. Immediately
prior to or concurrent with an OP Unit Transaction the maximum number of Class B Units then eligible for conversion (in accordance
with the provisions of Section 16.4(a)) shall automatically be converted into an equal number of OP Units, giving effect to all
adjustments (if any) made pursuant to Section 16.1 hereof, taking into account any allocations that occur in connection with the
OP Unit Transaction or that would occur in connection with the OP Unit Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at
the OP Unit Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed
to the Partnership Units in the context of the OP Unit Transaction (in which case the Conversion Date shall be the effective date
of the OP Unit Transaction). In anticipation of such OP Unit Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause each holder of Class B Units to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such OP Unit Transaction in consideration
for the OP Units into which his, her or its Class B 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 OP Unit Transaction by a holder of the same number
of OP Units, assuming such holder of OP Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the Partnership
merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent
Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of OP Units have the opportunity to elect
the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the OP Unit Transaction, prior to such OP Unit Transaction
the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each holder of Class B Units of such election, and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to afford the holders of Class B Units the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form
or type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each Class B Unit held by such holder into OP Units in connection with
such OP Unit Transaction. If a holder of Class B Units fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees)
shall receive upon conversion of each Class B Unit held by him, her or it (or by any of his, her or its transferees) the same kind
and amount of consideration that a holder of an OP Unit would receive if such OP Unit holder failed to make such an election. The
Partnership shall use commercially reasonable effort to cause the terms of any OP Unit Transaction to be consistent with the provisions
of this Section 16.4(d) and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the case may be, for the benefit
of any holders of Class B Units whose Class B Units will not be converted into OP Units in connection with the OP Unit Transaction
that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of Class B Units that remain outstanding after such OP Unit Transaction to
convert their Class B Units into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the OP Units and (ii)
preserve as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation, conversion, and other rights
set forth in this Agreement for the benefit of the holders of Class B Units.


 




    	 	77	 



     


    

 


16.5 Profits Interests


 


(a) Class B Units are intended to qualify as
a “profits interest” in the Partnership issued to a new or existing Partner in a partner capacity for services performed
or to be performed to or for the benefit of the Partnership within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343, and Rev. Proc.
2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, the Code, the Regulations, and other future guidance provided by the IRS with respect thereto, and the
allocations under subparagraph 1(c)(ii) of Exhibit B shall be interpreted in a manner that is consistent therewith.


 


(b) The Partners agree that the General Partner
may make a Safe Harbor Election (if and when the Safe Harbor Election becomes available), on behalf of itself and of all Partners,
to have the Safe Harbor apply irrevocably with respect to Class B Units transferred in connection with the performance of services
by a Partner in a partner capacity. The Safe Harbor Election (if and when the Safe Harbor Election becomes available) shall be
effective as of the date of issuance of such Class B Units. If such election is made, (i) the Partnership and each Partner agree
to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor with respect to all interests in the Partnership transferred in connection with
the performance of services by a Partner in a partner capacity, whether such Partner was admitted as a Partner or as the transferee
of a previous Partner, and (ii) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to comply with all record-keeping requirements
and other administrative requirements with respect to the Safe Harbor as shall be required by proposed or final regulations relating
thereto.


 


(c) The Partners agree that if a Safe Harbor
Election is made by the General Partner, (A) each Class B Unit issued hereunder with respect to which the Safe Harbor Election
is available is a Safe Harbor Interest, (B) each Class B Unit represents a profits interest received for services rendered or to
be rendered to or for the benefit of the Partnership by such holder of Class B Units in his, her or its capacity as a Partner or
in anticipation of becoming a Partner, and (C) the fair market value of each Class B Unit issued by the Partnership upon receipt
by such holder of Class B Units as of the date of issuance is zero (plus the amount, if any, of any Capital Contributions made
to the Partnership by such holder of Class B Units in connection with the issuance of such Class B Unit), representing the liquidation
value of such interest upon receipt (with such valuation being consented to and hereby approved by all Partners).


 


 




    	 	78	 



     


    

 


(d) Each Partner, by signing this Agreement
or by accepting such transfer, hereby agrees (A) to comply with all requirements of any Safe Harbor Election made by the General
Partner with respect to each holder of Class B Units’ Safe Harbor Interest, (B) that each holder of Class B Units shall take
into account of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with its Class B Units as if they were fully vested
in computing its federal income tax liability for the entire period during which it holds the Class B Units, (C) that neither the
Partnership nor any Partner shall claim a deduction (as wages, compensation or otherwise) for the fair market value of such Class
B Units issued to a holder of such Class B Units, either at the time of grant of the Class B Units or at the time the Class B Units
becomes substantially vested, and (D) that to the extent that such profits interest is forfeited after the date hereof, the Partnership
shall make special forfeiture allocations of gross items of income, deduction or loss (including, as may be permitted by or under
Regulations (or other rules promulgated) to be adopted, notional items of income, deduction or loss) in accordance with the Regulations
to be adopted under Sections 704(b) and 83 of the Code.


 


(e) The General Partner shall file or cause
the Partnership to file all returns, reports and other documentation as may be required, as reasonably determined by the General
Partner, to perfect and maintain any Safe Harbor Election made by the General Partner with respect to granting of each holder of
Class B Units’ Safe Harbor Interest.


 


(f) The General Partner is hereby authorized
and empowered, without further vote or action of the Partners, to amend this Agreement to the extent necessary or helpful in accordance
with the advice of Partnership tax counsel or accountants to sustain the Partnership’s position that (A) it has complied
with the Safe Harbor requirements in order to provide for a Safe Harbor Election and it has ability to maintain the same, or (B)
the issuance of the Class B Units is not a taxable event with respect to the holders of Class B Units, and the General Partner
shall have the authority to execute any such amendment by and on behalf of each Partner pursuant to the power of attorney granted
by this Agreement. Any undertaking by any Partner necessary or desirable to (A) enable or preserve a Safe Harbor Election or (B)
otherwise to prevent the issuance of Class B Units from being a taxable event with respect to the holders of Class B Units may
be reflected in such amendments and, to the extent so reflected, shall be binding on each Partner.


 


(g) Each Partner agrees to cooperate with the
General Partner to perfect and maintain any Safe Harbor Election, and to timely execute and deliver any documentation with respect
thereto reasonably requested by the General Partner, at the expense of the Partnership.


 


(h) No Transfer of any interest in the Partnership
by a Partner shall be effective unless prior to such Transfer, the assignee or intended recipient of such interest shall have agreed
in writing to be bound by the provisions of Section 10.2(d) and this Section 16.5, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the General
Partner.


 


(i) The provisions of this Section 16.5 shall
apply regardless of whether or not a holder of Class B Units files an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code.


 




    	 	79	 



     


    

 


(j) The General Partner may amend this Section
16.5 as it deems necessary or appropriate to maximize the tax benefit of the issuance of Class B Units to any holder of Class B
Units if there are changes in the law or Regulations concerning the issuance of partnership interests for services.

Exhibit B


 


Allocations


 


For purposes of this Exhibit B, the term “Partner”
shall include the Special Limited Partner.


 


1. Allocations.


 


(a) Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss.
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, after giving effect to the special allocations in subparagraph 1(c) and paragraph
2, Net Income, Net Loss and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction, of the Partnership for
each fiscal year or other applicable period of the Partnership shall be allocated among the General Partner and Limited Partners
in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests.


 


(b) Allocations of Net Property Gain and
Net Property Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, after giving effect to the special allocations in subparagraphs
1(c) and paragraph 2, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, credit,
loss and deduction comprising Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year or other applicable
period shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner determined in the reasonable discretion of the General Partner that will,
as nearly as possible cause the Capital Account balance of each Partner at the end of such fiscal year or other applicable period
to equal (i) the amount of the distributions that would be made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(b) of the Agreement if
the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets were sold for cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, taking
into account any adjustments thereto for such period, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied in full in cash according to their
terms (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets securing such liability), and
Net Sales Proceeds (after satisfaction of such liabilities) were distributed in full in accordance with Section 5.1(b) to the Partners
immediately after making such allocations, minus (ii) the sum of such Partner’s share of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner
Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain and the amount, if any and without duplication, that the Partner would be obligated to contribute
to the capital of the Partnership, all computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.


 


(c) Special Allocations.


 


(i) General Partner Gross Income
Allocation. After giving effect to the special allocations in paragraph 2 but prior to any allocations under subparagraphs
1(a) or 1(b), there shall be specially allocated to the General Partner an amount of (i) first, items of Partnership income and
(ii) second, items of Partnership gain during each fiscal year or other applicable period in an amount equal to the excess, if
any, of (A) the cumulative distributions made to the General Partner under Section 7.3(b) of the Agreement, other than distributions
which would properly be treated as “guaranteed payments” or which are attributable to the reimbursement of expenses
which would properly be either deductible by the Partnership or added to the tax basis of any Partnership asset, over (B) the cumulative
allocations of Partnership income and gain to the General Partner under this subparagraph 1(c)(i).


 




    	 	B-82	 



     


    

 


(ii) Special Allocations Regarding
Class B Units. After giving effect to the special allocations in subparagraph 1(c)(i) and paragraph 2 but prior to any allocations
under subparagraphs 1(a) or 1(b), Net Property Gain and Liquidating Gain and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income
and gain comprising Net Property Gain and Liquidating Gain of the Partnership shall be allocated to the holders of Class B Units
until their Economic Capital Account Balances are equal to (A) the OP Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (B) the number of their
Class B Units; provided, that no such Net Property Gain or Liquidating Gain or individual items of income and gain comprising
Net Property Gain or Liquidating Gain will be allocated with respect to any particular Class B Unit unless and to the extent that
the OP Unit Economic Balance exceeds the OP Unit Economic Balance in existence at the time such Class B Unit was issued. The “Economic
Capital Account Balances” of the Class B Unit holders will be equal to their Capital Account balances to the extent attributable
to their ownership of Class B Units. The “OP Unit Economic Balance” shall mean (Y) the aggregate Capital Account
balance attributable to the OP Units outstanding, plus the amount of any Partner Minimum Gain or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either
case to the extent attributable to the ownership of OP Units and computed on a hypothetical basis after taking into account all
allocations through the date on which any allocation is made under this subparagraph 1(c)(ii), divided by (Z) the number of OP
Units outstanding. Any allocations made pursuant to the first sentence of this subparagraph 1(c)(ii) shall be made among the holders
of Class B Units in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to each under this subparagraph 1(c)(ii). The parties agree
that the intent of this subparagraph 1(c)(ii) is to make the Capital Account balance associated with each Class B Unit to be economically
equivalent to the Capital Account balance associated with the OP Units outstanding (on a per-Unit basis), but only if and to the
extent that the Capital Account balance associated with the OP Units outstanding, without regard to the allocations under this
subparagraph 1(c)(ii), has increased on a per-Unit basis since the issuance of the relevant Class B Unit. Any remaining Net Property
Gain or Liquidating Gain not allocated pursuant to this subparagraph 1(c)(ii) shall be included in the calculation of Net Income,
Net Loss, Net Property Gain and Net Property Loss and will be allocated pursuant to subparagraphs 1(a) and 1(b).


 


(iii) Special Allocations Regarding
the Special Limited Partner Interest. After giving effect to the special allocations in subparagraphs 1(c)(i) and 1(c)(ii)
and paragraph 2 but prior to any allocations under subparagraph 1(a) and 1(b), Net Property Gain and Liquidating Gain and, to the
extent necessary, individual items of income and gain comprising Net Property Gain and Liquidating Gain of the Partnership shall
be allocated to the Special Limited Partner until the Special Limited Partner has received aggregate allocations of income for
all fiscal years equal to the aggregate amount of distributions the Special Limited Partner is entitled to receive or has received
with respect to the Special Limited Partner Interest for such fiscal year and all prior fiscal years. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Special Limited Partner is entitled to receive distributions of Net Sales Proceeds pursuant to the Partnership’s obligation
under a Listing Note or a Termination Amount, Liquidating Gain shall be allocated to the Special Limited Partner until the Special
Limited Partner has received aggregate allocations equal to the aggregate amount of distributions the Special Limited Partner is
entitled to receive pursuant to such Listing Note or Termination Amount.


 




    	 	B-83	 



     


    

 


2. Regulatory Allocations. Notwithstanding any provisions
of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit B, the following special allocations shall be made.


 


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


 


(b) Partner Minimum Gain Chargeback.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt
Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, determined in accordance
with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such year
(and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in the Partner Nonrecourse
Debt Minimum Gain to the extent and in the manner required by Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations. The items to be so allocated
shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and (j)(2) of the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(b) is intended
to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt contained in said section of the
Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 2(b) shall be made in proportion
to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Partner pursuant hereto.


 


(c) Qualified Income Offset. If a Partner
unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of
the Regulations, and such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items of Partnership income (including gross income)
and gain shall be specially allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit as quickly as possible as required by the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified
income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


(d) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse
Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests.


 


(e) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially
allocated to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt (as determined under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4)
and 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations).


 




    	 	B-84	 



     


    

 


(f) Section 754 Adjustment. To the extent
an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b)
of the Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital
Accounts, 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 among
the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their respective Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted
pursuant to such section of the Regulations.


 


(g) Gross Income Allocation. If any Partner
has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any fiscal year or other applicable period which is in excess of the amount
such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations,
such Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income (including gross income) and gain in the amount of such excess
as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this subparagraph 2(g) shall be made if and only to the extent
that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such amount after all other allocations provided
for under this Agreement have been tentatively made as if subparagraph 2(c) and this subparagraph 2(g) were not in this Agreement.


 


3. Curative Allocations. The General Partner is authorized
to offset all Regulatory Allocations either with other Regulatory Allocations or with special allocations of other items of Partnership
income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this paragraph 3. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Exhibit
B (other than the Regulatory Allocations and Tax Allocations), the General Partner shall make such offsetting allocations
of Partnership income, gain, loss or deduction in whatever manner the General Partner determines appropriate so that, after such
offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital
Account balance such Partner would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement.


 


4. Tax Allocations.


 


(a) Items of Income or Loss. Except as
is otherwise provided in this Exhibit B, an allocation of Partnership Net Income, Net Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property
Loss or Liquidating Gain to a Partner shall be treated as an allocation to such Partner of the same share of each item of income,
gain, loss, deduction and item of tax-exempt income or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure (or item treated as such expenditure pursuant
to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) of the Regulations) (“Tax Items”) that is taken into account in computing Net
Income, Net Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss or Liquidating Gain.


 


(b) Section 1245/1250 Recapture. Subject
to subparagraph 4(c) below, if any portion of gain from the sale of Partnership assets is treated as gain which is ordinary income
by virtue of the application of Sections 1245 or 1250 of the Code or is gain described in Section 1(h)(1)(D) of the Code (“Affected
Gain”), then such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners in the same proportion that the depreciation and
amortization deductions giving rise to the Affected Gain were allocated. This subparagraph 4(b) shall not alter the amount of Net
Income, Net Property Gain or Liquidating Gain (or items thereof) allocated among the Partners, but merely the character of such
Net Income, Net Property Gain or Liquidating Gain (or items thereof). For purposes hereof, in order to determine the proportionate
allocations of depreciation and amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such deductions shall
be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income, Net Loss, Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss and Liquidating Gain for such
respective period.


 




    	 	B-85	 



     


    

 


(c) Precontribution Gain, Revaluations.
With respect to any Contributed Property, the Partnership shall use any permissible method contained in the Regulations promulgated
under Section 704(c) of the Code selected by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to take into account any variation between
the adjusted basis of such asset and the fair market value of such asset as of the time of the contribution (“Precontribution
Gain”). Each Partner hereby agrees to report income, gain, loss and deduction on such Partner’s federal income
tax return in a manner consistent with the method used by the Partnership. If any asset has a Gross Asset Value which is different
from the Partnership’s adjusted basis for such asset for federal income tax purposes because the Partnership has revalued
such asset pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) of the Regulations, the allocations of Tax Items shall be made in accordance
with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations and the methods of allocation promulgated thereunder. The
intent of this subparagraph 4(c) is that each Partner who contributed to the capital of the Partnership a Contributed Property
will bear, through reduced allocations of depreciation, increased allocations of gain or other items, the tax detriments associated
with any Precontribution Gain. This subparagraph 4(c) is to be interpreted consistently with such intent.


 


(d) Excess Nonrecourse Liability Safe Harbor.
Pursuant to Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations, solely for purposes of determining each Partner’s proportionate share
of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership (as defined in Section 1.752-3(a)(3) of the Regulations),
the Partners’ respective interests in Partnership profits shall be determined under any permissible method reasonably determined
by the General Partner; provided, however, that each Partner who has contributed an asset to the Partnership shall be allocated,
to the extent possible, a share of “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership which results in such Partner
being allocated nonrecourse liabilities in an amount which is at least equal to the amount of income pursuant to Section 704(c)
of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Liability Shortfall”). If there is an insufficient amount
of nonrecourse liabilities to allocate to each Partner an amount of nonrecourse liabilities equal to the Liability Shortfall, then
an amount of nonrecourse liabilities in proportion to, and to the extent of, the Liability Shortfall shall be allocated to each
Partner.


 


(e) References to Regulations. Any reference
in this Exhibit B or the Agreement to a provision of proposed and/or temporary Regulations shall, if such provision is modified
or renumbered, be deemed to refer to the successor provision as so modified or renumbered, but only to the extent such successor
provision applies to the Partnership under the effective date rules applicable to such successor provision.)


 


(f) Successor Partners. For purposes
of this Exhibit B, a transferee of a Partnership Interest shall be deemed to have been allocated the Net Income, Net Loss,
Net Property Gain, Net Property Loss and other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to the transferred
Partnership Interest that previously have been allocated to the transferor Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

14.         Such
other documents and matters as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to express the opinion set forth below, subject to the assumptions,
limitations and qualifications stated herein.


 


In expressing the opinion set forth below, we

1.          Each
individual executing any of the Documents, whether on behalf of such individual or another person, is legally competent to do so.

3.          Each
of the parties (other than the Company) executing any of the Documents has duly and validly executed and delivered each of the
Documents to which such party is a signatory, and the obligations of each party (other than the Company with respect to the Ownership
Limit Waiver) set forth therein are legal, valid and binding and are enforceable in accordance with all stated terms.


 


4.          All
Documents submitted to us as originals are authentic. The form and content of all Documents submitted to us as unexecuted drafts
do not differ in any respect relevant to this opinion from the form and content of such Documents as executed and delivered. All
Documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies conform to the original documents. All signatures on all Documents
are genuine. All public records reviewed or relied upon by us or on our behalf are true and complete. All representations, warranties,

to any of the Documents relevant to this opinion, and there has been no waiver of any of the provisions of any of the Documents,
by action or omission of the parties or otherwise relevant to this opinion.


 


5.          Without
limiting our opinion expressed in paragraph 5 below, the Conversion Shares will not be issued or transferred in violation of the
restrictions on transfer and ownership set forth in Section 5.9 of the Company’s charter.


 


6.          Upon
any issuance of the Conversion Shares, the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding will not exceed the total
number of shares of Common Stock that the Company then has authority to issue under its charter.


 


7.          The
Convertible Preferred Units have been duly authorized and will be validly issued by the OP. The issuance of the Conversion OP Units
upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Units has been duly authorized and the Conversion OP Units will be validly issued
by the OP in accordance with the terms and procedures described in the A&R Opco LPA.


 


The phrase “known to us” is limited
to the actual knowledge, without independent inquiry, of the lawyers at our firm who have performed legal services in connection
with the issuance of this opinion.


 




    	 	-3-	 



     


    

 


Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions,
limitations and qualifications stated herein, it is our opinion that:


 


1.          The
Company is a corporation duly incorporated and existing under and by virtue of the laws of the State of Maryland and is in good
standing with the SDAT, with the corporate power to own its assets and conduct its business as described in the 10-K under the
caption “Item 1. Business.”


 


2.          The
Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder. The
Transaction Documents, the Initial Articles Supplementary, the Charter Amendment, the Articles Supplementary and the Bylaws, including
the amendments to the Bylaws made in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (the “Bylaw
Revisions”), have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and the Transaction Documents
have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.


 


3.          The
issuance and sale of the Share has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and, when
issued in accordance with the Resolutions and the Purchase Agreement, the Share will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
The issuance of the Share is not subject to any preemptive rights or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company arising under
the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) or the Charter or Bylaws.


 


4.          The
issuance and sale of the Conversion Shares has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company
and, when and to the extent issued upon exchange or redemption of the Conversion OP Units in accordance with the A&R Opco LPA
and the Resolutions, the Conversion Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The issuance of the Conversion
Shares is not subject to any preemptive rights or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company arising under the MGCL or the
Charter, Initial Articles Supplementary, Charter Amendment, Articles Supplementary or Bylaws.


 


5.          The
Company has the corporate power to grant the Ownership Limit Waiver. The Ownership Limit Waiver has been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited (a) by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights, generally, or (b) by general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).


 


6.          The
(i) sale and issuance of the Share, (ii) sale and issuance of the Conversion Shares upon exchange or redemption of the Conversion
OP Units, (iii) compliance by the Company with its obligations under the Transaction Documents and (iv) consummation by the Company
of the transactions described therein and contemplated thereby do not and will not conflict with or result in a violation or breach
of (a) the Charter, Initial Articles Supplementary, Charter Amendment, Articles Supplementary or Bylaws, (b) any Maryland statute,
rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (c) so far as is known to us, any judgment, order, writ or decree of any Maryland

respect to the election and removal of directors of the Board, rights to act by written consent and approval and other rights of
the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share (as defined therein)) and the Bylaw Revisions (including, without limitation, the
voting rights, rights with respect to the election and removal of directors of the Board, rights with respect to quorum, rights
to act by written consent and other rights of the holder of the Redeemable Preferred Share (as defined therein)), do not and will
not conflict with or result in a violation or breach of (a) the Charter, (b) any Maryland statute, rule or regulation applicable
to the Company or (c) so far as is known to us, any judgment, order, writ or decree of any Maryland court or governmental authority
having jurisdiction over the Company.


 


8.          No
approval, authorization, consent, notice, ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or registration,
declaration, filing or other action with, any governmental authority of the State of Maryland is required in connection with the
execution and delivery by the Company of the Articles Supplementary or the Transaction Documents, the consummation by the Company
of the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder, except such as have been
obtained or made.

Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, has the corporate power to execute and deliver, on behalf of the OP,
the Transaction Documents to which the OP is a party.

execution and delivery by the Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, of the Transaction Documents to which
the OP is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company.


 


11.         The
Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, has duly executed the Transaction Documents to which the OP is a party.


 


12.         No
approval, authorization, consent, notice, ratification, license, permission, exemption or waiver to be obtained from, or registration,
declaration, filing or other action with, any governmental authority of the State of Maryland is required in connection with the
execution and delivery by the Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, of the Transaction Documents to which
the OP is a party, the consummation by the Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, of the transactions contemplated
thereby or the performance by the Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, of the OP’s obligations thereunder,
except such as have been obtained or made.


 




    	 	-5-	 



     


    

 


13.         The
compliance by the Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, with the OP’s obligations under the Transaction
Documents to which the OP is a party and consummation by the Company, in its capacity as the general partner of the OP, of the
transactions described therein and contemplated thereby do not and will not conflict with or result in a violation or breach of
(a) the Charter, Initial Articles Supplementary, Charter Amendment, Articles Supplementary or Bylaws, (b) any Maryland statute,
rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (c) so far as is known to us, any judgment, order, writ or decree of any Maryland
court or governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company.


 


In addition to the qualifications set forth above,
and without limiting the generality of such qualifications, the opinion contained herein is also subject to the following:


 


a.           We
express no opinion as to the availability of specific performance or injunctive relief in any proceeding to enforce, or declare
valid and enforceable, any provision of the Ownership Limit Waiver.


 


b.           Enforceability
may be limited to the extent that remedies are sought with respect to a breach that a court concludes is not material or does not
adversely affect the parties seeking enforcement and we express no opinion with respect thereto.


 


c.           Enforceability
may be limited by any unconscionable or inequitable conduct upon the part of any party, defenses arising from the failure of any
party to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Ownership Limit Waiver or defenses arising as a consequence of
the passage of time or defenses arising as a result of any party’s failure to act reasonably or in good faith and we express
no opinion with respect thereto.


 


d.           We
express no opinion with respect to the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of, or the compliance with any applicable
law of, any provision of the Ownership Limit Waiver which (i) would require the Company to take any particular action after the
date hereof which by law could only be undertaken upon the approval of the Board (or any committee thereof) or the stockholders
of the Company or (ii) would require the Board (or any committee thereof) or the stockholders of the Company or any person or entity
other than the Company to take, or to refrain from taking, any particular action after the date hereof.


 


e.           We
express no opinion as to (a) the interpretation of such terms as “reasonable” or “prompt” or any similar
terms or any variation thereof or (b) any matter dependent on the interpretation of any such terms.


 


f.            We
express no opinion as to the enforceability of any provision of the Ownership Limit Waiver by or against any person not a party

or governmental authorities, if any, which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated
by the Articles Supplementary and the Transaction Documents. Our opinion expressed in paragraphs 8 and 12 above is based upon our
consideration of only those approvals, authorizations, consents, notices, ratifications, licenses, permissions, exemptions or waivers
to be obtained from, or registrations, declarations, filings or other actions with, governmental authorities of the State of Maryland,
if any, which, in our experience, are normally applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Articles Supplementary

not ordered or reviewed judgment, order, writ, decree or any other searches of public or private records of the Company or its

matters specifically set forth herein and no other opinion shall be inferred beyond the matters expressly stated. We assume no
obligation to supplement this opinion if any applicable law changes after the date hereof or if we become aware of any fact that
might change the opinion expressed herein after the date hereof.


 


This opinion is being furnished to you solely
for your benefit. Accordingly, it may not be relied upon by, quoted in any manner to, or delivered to any other person or entity
without, in each instance, our prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, a copy of this opinion may be delivered
by you to your permitted successors and assigns under the Transaction Documents (collectively, the “Future Recipients”
and each, a “Future Recipient”) and such persons may rely on this opinion as if it were addressed to them and had been
delivered to them on the date hereof; provided, however, that any such reliance by any Future Recipient must be actual and reasonable
under the circumstances existing at the time, including any changes in law or facts or any other developments known to or reasonably
knowable by such Future Recipient at such time.
