    (a)           The
Partnership is empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary,
appropriate, proper, advisable, incidental to or convenient for the furtherance

take, or refrain from taking, any action which, in the judgment of the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion,

     

    (i)        
   could adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to
continue to qualify as a REIT, unless the General Partner otherwise ceases 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)           The
General Partner also is empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary,

Interest.

     

    (d)           The

    (a)           (i)       
    The sums of money required to finance the business and
affairs of the Partnership shall be derived from the initial Capital
Contributions made to the Partnership by the Partners as set forth in Section

including, without limitation, rents and distributions directly or indirectly
received by the Partnership from any Subsidiary.

     

    (ii)    
       In the event additional financing is
needed from sources other than as set forth in Section 4.2(a)(i) for any reason,
the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, in such amounts
and at such times as it solely shall determine to be necessary or
appropriate,

     

    (A)        cause
the Partnership to issue additional Partnership Interests and admit additional
Limited Partners to the Partnership in accordance with Section 4.3;

     

    (B)         make

    (iii)           In
no event shall any Limited Partners be required to make any additional Capital
Contributions or any loan to, or otherwise provide any financial accommodation
for the benefit of, the Partnership.

     

    (b)           The
General Partner shall not issue any debt securities, any preferred stock or any
common stock (including additional REIT Stock (other than (i) as payment of the
REIT Stock Amount or (ii) in connection with the conversion or exchange of
securities of the General Partner solely in conversion or exchange for other
securities of the General Partner)) or rights, options, warrants or convertible
or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase any
of the foregoing (collectively, “Securities”), other
than to all holders of REIT Stock, unless the General Partner shall

     

    (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 REIT 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 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 therefore
with the same terms and conditions, including dividend, dividend priority and
liquidation preference, as are applicable to such Securities; and

     

    (iii)          in
the case of REIT Stock or other equity Securities on a parity with the REIT
Stock as to dividends and distributions on liquidation, (including, without
limitation, REIT 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 REIT Stock
issued a pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or issued to enable the
General Partner 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 therefore equal to the product
of

     

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

     

    (B)          a

      Partners

            


    

     

    (a)           In
addition to any Partnership Interests issuable by the Partnership pursuant to
Section 4.2, the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to issue
additional Partnership Interests (or options therefore) 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,
without limitation, (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, 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 REIT Stock or other equity interests in the General Partner having
designations, preferences and other rights such that the economic interests
attributable to such REIT 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; and provided, however,
that

     

    (i)      
     such issuance does not cause the Partnership to
become, with respect to any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code, a “party in interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of
ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(e) of the Code);
and

     

    (ii)           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.

     

    (b)           Subject
to the limitations set forth in Section 4.3(a), 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, without limitation, amending the
Certificate, Exhibit A or any other provision of this Agreement.

    In
connection with any offering, grant, award, or issuance of REIT 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; 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 be deemed to have made a Capital
Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the gross proceeds of such
issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have paid
pursuant to Section 7.3(c) for the amount of such underwriter’s discount or
other expenses.

the event that the General Partner shall elect to purchase from its stockholders
REIT Stock for the purpose of delivering such REIT Stock to satisfy an
obligation under any distribution reinvestment plan adopted by the General
Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner, or any
other obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General Partner in the future,
the purchase price paid by the General Partner for such REIT 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 REIT 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 REIT Stock
(provided that an exchange of REIT Stock for Partnership Units pursuant to the
applicable Exchange Rights Agreement would not be considered a sale for such
purposes); and

     

    (ii)           if
such REIT Stock is not re-transferred by the General Partner within 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

     

    (x)          the
number of shares of such REIT Stock, multiplied by

     

    (y)          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)           In
the event the General Partner purchases Shares-in-Trust (as from time to time
defined in the Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time),
the Partnership will purchase from the General Partner a number of Partnership
Units equal to the product of

     

    (i)       
    the number of Shares-in-Trust purchased by the General
Partner, 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.

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

Partner or to which the Partnership becomes subject with respect to any
Partnership Unit, the Partnership shall have the right to withhold amounts

    (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 shall determine in good faith the amount of expenses incurred by

General Partner in its reasonable discretion deems fair and reasonable. All
payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income
tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as
expenses of the General Partner.

              7.6

            	
              Indemnification

            


    

     

    (a)           (i)       
    To the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the
Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without
limitation, 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 (x) 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, (y) such Claim was not the result of negligence or misconduct
by the Indemnitee and (z) such indemnification is not satisfied or recoverable
from the assets of the stockholders of the General Partner. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be indemnified for any Claim arising from or out
of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (x) there has
been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged
securities law violations as to such Indemnitee, (y) such allegations have been
dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as
to such Indemnitee, or (z) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a
settlement of such allegations against such 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 the REIT 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 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,
without limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of
the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is
hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one
or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.6
in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such
indebtedness.


    
      
         


      

      
        31

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (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 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)           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; and actions taken
or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the
performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the

    (ii)     
      The General Partner shall not be responsible
for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by the
General Partner in good faith.

discretion, that such revocation is in the best interests of the
Partners.

(A)           to
enter into any settlement with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to any

agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall
bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any
Partner

     

    
      
         


      

      
        40

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

located;

     

    (C)           to

final adjustment;

     

    (D)          to

              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 federal, state,
local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership
is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or
allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership
pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code.

     

    (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 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.

     

    (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 hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership
a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest, as the case
may be, to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership
any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5.

     

    (ii)          (A)           In
the event that 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.

      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)           In
the event 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 REIT 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 REIT 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 REIT Stock corresponding
to such Partnership Unit in consideration of one share of REIT Stock at any time
during the period from and after the date on which the Transaction is
consummated; provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase,
tender or exchange offer (“Offer”) shall have
been made to and accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding
REIT 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 REIT 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).

     

    (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

     

    
      
         


      

      
        44

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (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 REIT 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 REIT 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.

              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.

     

    (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.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        45

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (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)           without
the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole
and absolute discretion, 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; or

     

    (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.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        46

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (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 Regulations Section 1.752-4(b))
to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability
(within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent
of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion, provided that as a condition to such consent the lender will be
required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General
Partner to exchange for the Cash Amount (as such term is defined in the Exchange
Rights Agreement) 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.

    (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, without limitation, 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.

    (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

    (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 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)           In
the event 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.

              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, 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.

     

    (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.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        48

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (iii)           All
distributions pursuant to Section 5.1(a) 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) 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
without limitation 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 REIT Stock of all Partnership Units held by all
Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section
7.11 or 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 REIT Stock of all Partnership Units held
by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under
Section 7.11 or 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 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, and only to the
extent that, outside tax counsel provides to the General Partner an opinion to
the effect 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, in the event that the General Partner has elected to
be qualified as a REIT.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        49

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (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 Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (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 “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 Safe Harbors is
met; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not authorize the General
Partner to limit or restrict in any manner 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 unless, and only to the extent that,
outside tax counsel provides to the General Partner an opinion to the effect
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.

    (a)           (i)     
      Upon the occurrence of a Liquidating Event,
the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs
in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its
creditors and Partners.

     

    (ii)           No

in interest” (the General Partner or such other Person being referred to herein
as the “Liquidator”), shall be responsible 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, and the
proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined 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,

    (iv)           The

    (v)           Any

Partnership’s taxable year in which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within
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.

     

    (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 and Limited Partners pursuant to
this Article 13 may be:

     

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

     

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

    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.

      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.

     

    (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.

    In the
event 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.

    Upon the

    Exhibit
B

     

    Allocations

     

    1.           Allocation of Net Income and
Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income, Net
Loss and, to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or
deduction, of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner
such that the Capital Account of each Partner, immediately after making such
allocation, is, as nearly as possible, equal proportionately to (i) the
distributions that would be made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1(b) if
the Partnership were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for
cash equal to their Gross Asset Value, all Partnership liabilities were
satisfied (limited with respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset
Value of the assets securing such liability), and the net assets of the
Partnership were distributed in accordance with Section 5.1(b) to the Partners
immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Partner’s share of
Partnership minimum gain (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(d))
and Partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (within the meaning of Regulation
Section 1.704-2(i)(5)), computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of
assets.

     

    2.           Special 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 Regulations Section
1.704-2(f). 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 Minimum Gain attributable to
a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal year, each Partner who has a share
of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt,
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 Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner
Nonrecourse Debt 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-1

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (c)           Qualified Income
Offset. In the event 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)           Other Chargeback of
Impermissible Negative Capital Account. To the extent any Partner has an
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any Partnership fiscal year, each
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 paragraph 2(d) shall be made if and
only to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Exhibit B have been
tentatively made as if this paragraph 2(d) were not in the
Agreement.

     

    (e)           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.

     

    (f)           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).

     

    (g)           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.

     

    (h)           Gross Income
Allocation. There shall be specially allocated to the General Partner an
amount of Partnership income and gain during each Partnership Year or portion
thereof, before any other allocations are made hereunder, which is equal to the
excess, if any, of the cumulative distributions of cash made to the General
Partner under Section 7.3(b) hereof over the cumulative allocations of
Partnership income and gain to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 2(h)
of this Exhibit B.

     

    3.           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 Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) (“Tax Items”) that is taken into account in computing Net
Income or Net Loss.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        B-2

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (b)           Section 1245/1250
Recapture. 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 Code
Sections 1245 or 1250 (“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 3(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 Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), 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 3(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 3(c) is to be interpreted consistently with such
intent.

     

    (d)           Excess Nonrecourse Liability
Safe Harbor. Pursuant to Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), solely for
purposes of determining each Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess
nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership (as defined in Regulations Section
1.752-3(a)(3)), 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”). In the event 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-3

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (e)           References to
Regulations. Any reference in this Exhibit B or the Agreement to a
provision of proposed and/or temporary Regulations shall, in the event 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.

the REIT Stock are not listed or admitted to trading on the NYSE or any other
national securities exchange, the last reported sale price on such day;
or

     

    (iii)           if
no sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices
on such day, as reported by a reliable quotation source designated by the
Company or if the REIT Stock is not then traded on any market, as determined in
good faith by the Company’s Independent Directors (as defined by the Company’s
charter).

     

    In the
event the REIT Stock Amount includes rights that a holder of REIT Stock would be
entitled to receive, then the Value of such rights shall be determined by the
independent directors of the Company acting in good faith on the basis of such
quotations and other information as they consider, in their reasonable judgment,
appropriate.

    EXCHANGE
RIGHT

     

    2.1           Exchange Right. (a)
Subject
to Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 hereof, and subject to any limitations under
applicable law, the Operating Partnership hereby grants to each Limited Partner
and each Limited Partner hereby accepts the right (the “Exchange
Right”), exercisable (i) on or after the date that is one (1) year after
the closing of the Offering or (ii) upon the liquidation of the Operating
Partnership or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Operating Partnership, to exchange on a Specified Exchange Date all or a portion
of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner at an exchange price equal
to and in the form of the Cash Amount.

     

    (b)           The
Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to
the Operating Partnership, with a copy delivered to the Company, by the Limited
Partner who is exercising the Exchange Right (the “Exchanging
Partner”); provided, however, that the Company, on behalf of the
Operating Partnership, may elect, after a Notice of Exchange is delivered, to
satisfy the Exchange Right which is the subject of such notice in accordance
with Section 2.2.

     

    
      
         


      

      
        C-3

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    (c)           A
Limited Partner may exercise the Exchange Right from time to time with respect
to part or all of the Partnership Units that it owns, as selected by the Limited
Partner, provided that, except as provided in the Agreement, a Limited Partner
may not exercise the Exchange Right for less than one thousand (1,000)
Partnership Units unless such Limited Partner then holds less than one thousand
(1,000) Partnership Units, in which event the Limited Partner must exercise the
Exchange Right for all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited
Partner.

     

    (d)           An
Exchanging Partner shall have no right with respect to any Partnership Units so
exchanged to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Exchange Date
with respect to such Partnership Units.

     

    (e)           Any
Assignee of a Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner
pursuant to this Article 2, 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.

     

    (f)           In
connection with any exercise of such rights by an Assignee on behalf of a
Limited Partner, the Cash Amount or the REIT Stock Amount, as the case may be,
shall be satisfied by the Operating Partnership or the Company, as the case may
be, directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.

     

    2.2           Option of Company to
Exchange for REIT Stock. (a) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.1, the Company may, on behalf of the Operating
Partnership, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the limitations on
ownership and transfer of REIT Stock set forth in the Company’s charter), elect
to assume directly and satisfy an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange Right by
exchanging REIT Stock and rights equal to the REIT Stock Amount on the Specified
Exchange Date for the Partnership Units offered for exchange by the Exchanging
Partner, whereupon the Company shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for
exchange by the Exchanging Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of the
Partnership Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. Unless the
Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall exercise its right to assume
directly and satisfy the Exchange Right, the Company shall not have any
obligation to the Exchanging Partner or to the Operating Partnership with
respect to the Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the Exchange Right. If the
Company shall exercise its right to satisfy the Exchange Right in the manner
described in the first sentence of this Section 2.2 and shall fully perform its
obligations in connection therewith, the Operating Partnership shall have no
right or obligation to pay any amount to the Exchanging Partner with respect to
such Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the Exchange Right, and each of the
Exchanging Partner, the Operating Partnership and the Company shall, for federal
income tax purposes, treat the transaction between the Company and the
Exchanging Partner as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units to
the Company. Nothing contained in this Section 2.2 shall imply any right of the
Company to require any Limited Partner to exercise the Exchange Right afforded
to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 2.1.

     

    (b)           In
the event the Company shall elect to satisfy, on behalf of the Operating
Partnership, an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange Right by exchanging REIT Stock for
the Partnership Units offered for exchange,

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        C-4

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (i)           the
Company hereby agrees so to notify the Exchanging Partner within five (5)
Business Days after the receipt by the Company of such Notice of
Exchange,

     

    (ii)           each
Exchanging Partner hereby agrees to execute such documents and instruments as
the Company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Stock
upon exercise of the Exchange Right, and

     

    (iii)           the
Company hereby agrees to deliver stock certificates representing fully paid and
nonassessable shares of REIT Stock.

     

    2.3           Prohibition of Exchange for
REIT Stock. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company
shall not be entitled to satisfy an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange Right pursuant
to Section 2.2 if the delivery of REIT Stock to such Limited Partner by the
Company pursuant to Section 2.2 (regardless of the Operating Partnership’s
obligations to the Limited Partner under Section 2.1)

     

    (a)           would
be prohibited under the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,

     

    (b)           if
the Company has elected REIT status, would otherwise jeopardize the REIT status
of the Company, or

     

    (c)           would
cause the acquisition of the REIT Stock by the Limited Partner to be
“integrated” with any other distribution of REIT Stock by the Company for
purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities
Act.

     

    2.4           Payment Date. Any
Cash Amount to be paid to an Exchanging Partner shall be paid on the Specified
Exchange Date; provided, however, that the Operating Partnership may elect to
cause the Specified Exchange Date to be delayed for up to an additional 180 days
to the extent required for the Company to cause additional REIT Shares to be
issued to provide financing to be used to make such payment of the Cash Amount
by the Operating Partnership.

     

    2.5           Expiration of Exchange
Right. The Exchange Right shall expire with respect to any Partnership
Units for which an Exchange Notice has not been delivered to the Operating
Partnership and the Company on or before December 31, 2040.

     

    2.6           Effect of Exchange.
(a) Any
exchange of Partnership Units pursuant to this Article 2 shall be deemed to have
occurred as of the Specified Exchange Date for all purposes, including without
limitation the payment of distributions or dividends in respect of Partnership
Units or REIT Stock, as applicable.

     

    (b)           Any
Partnership Units acquired by the Company pursuant to an exercise by any Limited
Partner of an Exchange Right shall be deemed to be acquired by and reallocated
or reissued to the Company.

     

    (c)           The
Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, shall amend the
Partnership Agreement to reflect each such exchange and reallocation or
reissuance of Partnership Units and each corresponding recalculation of the
Partnership Units of the Limited Partners.

    ARTICLE

    OTHER
PROVISIONS

     

    3.1           Covenants of the
Company. (a) At all
times during the pendency of the Exchange Right, the Company shall reserve for
issuance such number of shares of REIT Stock as may be necessary to enable the
Company to issue such shares in full payment of the REIT Stock Amount in regard
to all Partnership Units held by Limited Partners which are from time to time
outstanding.

     

    (b)           During
the pendency of the Exchange Right, the Company shall deliver to Limited
Partners in a timely manner all reports filed by the Company with the SEC to the
extent the Company also transmits such reports to its stockholders and all other
communications transmitted from time to time by the Company to its stockholders
generally.

     

    (c)           The
Company shall notify each Limited Partner, upon request, of the then current
Exchange Factor and such notice will include a reasonable explanation of the
Exchange Factor calculation to be applied at such time.

     

    3.2           Fractional
Shares.  (a) No
fractional shares of REIT Stock shall be issued upon exchange of Partnership
Units.

     

    (b)           The
number of full shares of REIT Stock which shall be issuable upon exchange of
Partnership Units (or the cash equivalent amount thereof if the Cash Amount is
paid) shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate amount of Partnership
Units so surrendered.

     

    (c)           Instead
of any fractional shares of REIT Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon
exchange of any Partnership Units, the Operating Partnership shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the Cash Amount of
a Partnership Unit multiplied by such fraction. 
 

    3.3           Investment Representations
and Warranties. By delivering to the Company a Notice of Exchange, each
Exchanging Partner will be deemed to represent and warrant to the Company and
the Operating Partnership that such Exchanging Partner is aware of the Company’s
option to exchange such Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units for REIT Stock
pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof and that:

     

    (a)           (i)       
    such
Exchanging Partner has received and reviewed

     

    (A)           a

    (B)           if

amended, copies of all reports and other filings (the “SEC
Reports”), including Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on
Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K, made by the Company with the SEC

    and
understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, an investment in
REIT Stock.

     

    (ii)           Such
Exchanging Partner, by reason of its business and financial experience, together

it to represent or advise it with respect to its investment in REIT
Stock,

     

    (A)           has
such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters
and in making investment decisions of this type that it is capable of evaluating
the merits and risks of and of making an informed investment decision with
respect to an investment in REIT Stock,

     

    (B)           is
capable of protecting its own interest or has engaged representatives or
advisors to assist it in protecting its interests and

     

    (C)           is
capable of bearing the economic risk of such investment.

     

    (iii)          (A)           Such
Exchanging Partner is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of the
regulations promulgated under the Securities Act.

     

    (B)           If
such Exchanging Partner has retained or retains a person to represent or advise
it with respect to its investment in REIT Stock, such Exchanging Partner will
advise the Company of such retention and, at the Company’s request, such
Exchanging Partner shall, prior to or at delivery of the REIT Stock
hereunder,

     

    (I)           acknowledge
in writing such representation and

     

    (II)           cause
such representative or advisor to deliver a certificate to the Company
containing such representations as may be reasonably requested by the
Company.

     

    (b)           (i)        
   Such Exchanging Partner understands that an investment in the
Company involves substantial risks.

investigation of the activities of the Company and has been furnished with
materials relating to the Company and its activities, including, without
limitation, each Prospectus and the SEC Reports.

Exchanging Partner has relied and is making its investment decision based upon

officer of the Company.

     

    (c)           (i)        
   The REIT Stock to be issued to such Exchanging Partner
hereunder will be acquired by such Exchanging Partner for its own account, for

therein.

     

    (ii)           Such
Exchanging Partner was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring an

that

     

    (A)           the
shares of REIT Stock to be issued to such Exchanging Partner hereunder have not
been registered under the Securities Act or state securities laws by reason of a
specific exemption or exemptions from registration under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws and, the certificates representing such shares
of REIT Stock will bear a legend to such effect,

     

    (B)           the
Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s reliance on such exemptions is
predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and
warranties of such Exchanging Partner contained herein,

REIT Stock to be issued to such Exchanging Partner hereunder may not be resold
or otherwise distributed unless registered under the Securities Act and

    (D)           there
may be no market for unregistered shares of REIT Stock, and

     

    (E)           the
Company has no obligation or intention to register such REIT Stock under the
Securities Act or any state securities laws or to take any action that would
make available any exemption from the registration requirements of such laws,
except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the
Company and the Exchanging Partner (the “Registration
Rights Agreement”).

     

    (ii)           Such
Exchanging Partner acknowledges that because of the restrictions on transfer or
assignment of such REIT Stock to be issued hereunder, such Exchanging Partner
may have to bear the economic risk of its investment in REIT Stock issued
hereunder for an indefinite period of time, although the holder of any such REIT
Stock will be afforded certain rights to have such REIT Stock registered under
the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement.
