Partnership’s assets been liquidated at an amount sufficient to yield the price inherent in the subject transaction.

 “Cash Amount” means an amount of cash equal to the Value on the Valuation Date of the Shares Amount. 
 “Cause” means, with respect to termination of the Advisory Agreement, (i) fraud, criminal conduct, willful misconduct or willful or
negligent breach of fiduciary duty by the Advisor, (ii) a material breach of the Advisory Agreement by the Advisor which remains uncured after 30 days’ written notice, (iii) the Bankruptcy or insolvency of the Advisor, CB Richard
Ellis Investors L.L.C. and/or CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (collectively the “Sponsor Entities”), or (iv) there is a dissolution of any of the Sponsor Entities.

 “Consent” means the consent or approval of a proposed action by a Partner given in accordance with Section 14.02 hereof. 
 “Contributed Property” means each property or other asset contributed to the Partnership, in such form as may be permitted by the Act, but
excluding cash contributed or deemed contributed to the Partnership. Once the Carrying Value of a Contributed Property is adjusted pursuant to Exhibit B hereto, such property shall no longer constitute a Contributed Property for purposes of
Exhibit B hereto, but shall be deemed an Adjusted Property for such purposes. 
  

 4 








 “Conversion Factor” means 1.0; provided that in the event that the General Partner
(i) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding Shares in Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding Shares in Shares, (ii) subdivides its outstanding Shares or (iii) combines its outstanding Shares into a
smaller number of Shares, the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Shares issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution,
subdivision or combination (assuming for such purposes that such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination has occurred as of such time) and the denominator of which shall be the actual number of Shares (determined without the above
assumption) issued and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination; and provided, further, that in the event that an entity shall cease to be the General Partner (the “Predecessor
Entity”) and another entity shall become the General Partner (the “Successor Entity”), the Conversion Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Factor by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Value of one share of the
Predecessor Entity, determined as of the time immediately prior to when the Successor Entity becomes the General Partner, and the denominator of which is the Value of one Share of the Successor Entity determined as of that same date. For purposes of
the second proviso in the preceding sentence, in the event that any stockholders of the Predecessor Entity will receive consideration in connection with the transaction in which the Successor Entity becomes the General Partner, the numerator in the
fraction described above for determining the adjustment to the Conversion Factor (that is, the Value of one Share of the Predecessor Entity) shall be the sum of the greatest amount of cash and the fair market value of any securities and other
consideration that the holder of one Share in the Predecessor Entity could have received in such transaction (determined without regard to any provisions governing fractional shares). Any adjustment to the Conversion Factor shall become effective
immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for the event giving rise thereto; it being intended that (x) adjustments to the Conversion Factor are to be made in order to avoid unintended dilution
or anti-dilution as a result of transactions in which Shares are issued, redeemed or exchanged without a corresponding issuance, redemption or exchange of Partnership Units and (y) if a Specified Redemption Date shall fall between the record
date and the effective date of any event of the type described above, that the Conversion Factor applicable to such redemption shall be adjusted to take into account such event. 
 “Debt” means, as to any Person, as of any date of determination, (i) all indebtedness of such Person for borrowed money or for the
deferred purchase price of property or services, (ii) all amounts owed by such Person to banks or other Persons in respect of reimbursement obligations under letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments guaranteeing payment or
other performance of obligations by such Person, (iii) all indebtedness for borrowed money or for the deferred purchase price of property or services secured by any lien on any property owned by such Person, to the extent attributable to such
Person’s interest in such property, even though such Person has not assumed or become liable for the payment thereof, and (iv) obligations of such Person incurred in connection with entering into a lease which, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, should be capitalized. 
 “Declaration of Trust” means the second amended and restated declaration
of trust or other organizational document governing the General Partner, as amended or restated from time to time.

the Class B Interest, (a) if the shares of common beneficial interest (or other comparable equity interests) of the General Partner are Publicly Traded (i) the total number of 

  

 5 








 
shares of common beneficial interest (or other comparable equity interest) of the General Partner corresponding to Class A Units (as provided for in
Section 4.02.B hereof) issued and outstanding as of the close of business on such date (excluding any treasury shares) multiplied by the Value of a share of such common beneficial interest (or other comparable equity interest) on such date
divided by (ii) the Percentage Interest of the General Partner of the Class A Units on such date, and (b) otherwise, the aggregate Value of such class of Partnership Interests determined as set forth in the fourth and fifth sentences
of the definition of Value. 
 “Depreciation” means, for each fiscal year, an amount equal to the federal income tax depreciation,
amortization, or other cost recovery deduction allowable with respect to an asset for such year, except that if the Carrying Value of an asset differs from its adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes at the beginning of such year or other
period, Depreciation shall be an amount which bears the same ratio to such beginning Carrying Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year bears to such beginning adjusted tax basis;
provided, however, that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization, or other cost recovery deduction for such year is zero, Depreciation shall be determined with reference to such beginning Carrying Value using any reasonable
method selected by the General Partner. 
 “ERISA” means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

Contributions to the Partnership. In connection with the General Partner’s initial public offering of common shares and as reflected in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, CBRE REIT Holdings LLC exchanged the Class C
Interest (as defined in the Original Agreement of Limited Partnership) for a number of Class A Units set forth on Exhibit A hereto. Exhibit A hereto reflects the Capital Contributions made by each Partner, the Class A Units
assigned to each Partner and the Percentage Interest in the Partnership represented by such Class A Units. The Capital Accounts of the Partners and the Carrying Values of the Partnership’s Assets have been and will continue to be
determined pursuant to Section I.D. of Exhibit B hereto to reflect the Capital Contributions made. 
  

 13 








 B. General Partnership Interest. A number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner equal
to one percent (1%) of all outstanding Class A Units shall be deemed to be the General Partnership Interest. All other Partnership Units held by the General Partner shall be deemed to be Limited Partnership Interests and shall be held by
the General Partner in its capacity as a Limited Partner in the Partnership. 
 C. Capital Contributions By Merger. To the extent the
Partnership acquires any property by the merger of any other Person into the Partnership, Persons who receive Partnership Interests in exchange for their interests in the Person merging into the Partnership shall become Partners and shall be deemed
to have made Capital Contributions as provided in the applicable merger agreement and as set forth in Exhibit A hereto. 
 D. No
Obligation to Make Additional Capital Contributions. Except as provided in Sections 7.05 and 10.05 hereof, the Partners shall have no obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or provide any additional funding to the
Partnership (whether in the form of loans, repayments of loans or otherwise). No Partner shall have any obligation to restore any deficit that may exist in its Capital Account, either upon a liquidation of the Partnership or otherwise, except as
provided in Section 13.02 hereof. 
 Section 4.02. Issuances of Partnership Interests 
 A. General. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership from time to time to issue to Partners (including the General Partner
and its Affiliates) or other Persons (including, without limitation, in connection with the contribution of property to the Partnership) Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more classes, or in one or more series of any of such
classes, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, all as shall be determined, subject to applicable Delaware law, by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion, including, without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests, (ii) the right of each such class or series of
Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions and (iii) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided, that no such Partnership Units or other
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 Shares or other equity interests in the General Partner having designations,
preferences and other rights such that the economic interests attributable to such Shares or other equity interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and other rights (except voting rights) of the additional Partnership
Interests issued to the General Partner in accordance with this Section 4.02.A or (b) the Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners holding Partnership Interests in the same class in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests in such class. In the event that the Partnership issues Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.02.A, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (including but not limited to the revisions described in
Section 5.04, Section 6.02 and Section 8.06 hereof) as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. 
 B. Percentage Interest Adjustments in the Case of Capital Contributions for Class A Units. Upon the acceptance of additional Capital Contributions in exchange for Class A Units, the Percentage
Interest related thereto shall be equal to the product of (1) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of cash, if any, plus the Agreed Value of Contributed Property, if any, contributed with respect to such additional
Partnership Units and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership Interests for all outstanding Class A Units (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the
additional Capital Contributions are made (an “Adjustment Date”)) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of additional Capital Contributions contributed to the 

  

 14 








 
Partnership on such Adjustment Date in respect of such additional Class A Units and (2) the Percentage Interest attributable to the Class A
Interest as provided in Exhibit A hereto. The Percentage Interest of each other Partner holding Class A Units not making a full pro rata Capital Contribution shall be adjusted to the product of (1) a fraction the numerator of which is
equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of such Limited Partner (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) plus (ii) the amount of additional Capital Contributions (such amount being
equal to the amount of cash, if any, plus the Agreed Value of Contributed Property, if any, so contributed), if any, made by such Partner to the Partnership in respect of such Class A Units as of such Adjustment Date and the denominator of
which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the outstanding Class A Units (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding such Adjustment Date) plus (ii) the aggregate amount of the additional Capital Contributions
contributed to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in respect of such additional Class A Units and (2) the Percentage Interest attributable to the Class A Interest as provided in Exhibit A hereto. For purposes of calculating
a Partner’s Percentage Interest of Class A Units pursuant to this Section 4.02.B, (a) cash Capital Contributions by the General Partner will be deemed to equal the cash contributed by the General Partner plus (1) in the case
of cash contributions funded by an offering of any equity interests in or other securities of the General Partner, the offering costs attributable to the cash contributed to the Partnership, and (2) in the case of Class A Units issued
pursuant to Section 7.05.E hereof, an amount equal to the difference between the Value of the Shares sold pursuant to any Stock Option Plan and the net proceeds of such sale. 
 C. Classes of Partnership Interests. From and after the date hereof, subject to Section 4.02.A above, the Partnership shall have two classes
of Partnership Interests, entitled the “Class A Interest,” (represented by Class A Units) and the “Class B Interest.” Class A Units or new classes of Partnership Interests may be issued to newly admitted
Partners in exchange for the contribution by such Partners of cash, real estate partnership interests, stock, notes or other assets or consideration. 
 D. The Class B Interest. On July 1, 2004, the General Partner issued the Class B Interest to an Affiliate of the Advisor in exchange for services performed or to be performed for the Partnership
and its Subsidiaries, and admitted such Person as a Limited Partner. The Class B Partner is entitled to certain distributions as provided in Section 5.01.B and certain preferential allocations of items of income and gain under
Section 6.01.D. The Class B Interest is subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in Article XI and is subject to redemption pursuant to Section 8.07. 
 Section 4.03. No Preemptive Rights 
 Except to the extent expressly granted by the Partnership pursuant to another agreement, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to (i) additional Capital Contributions or loans to the
Partnership or (ii) issuance or sale of any Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests. 
 Section 4.04. Other
Contribution Provisions 
 In the event that any Partner other than the Class B Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given a
Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to the Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash, and the Partner had contributed such cash
to the capital of the Partnership. In addition, with the consent of the General Partner, one or more Limited Partners may enter into contribution agreements with the Partnership which have the effect of providing a guarantee of certain obligations
of the Partnership.

 DISTRIBUTIONS 
 Section 5.01. Requirement and Characterization of Distributions 
 A. General. Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall make distributions at such times and in such amounts as it may determine. Such distributions shall be made to the Partners who are
Partners on the Partnership Record Date for such distribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event may a Partner receive a distribution with respect to a Class A Unit for a quarter or shorter period if such
Partner is entitled to receive a distribution relating to such period with respect to a Share for which such Class A Unit has been redeemed or exchanged. Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or in an agreement at the time a new class
of Partnership Interests is created in accordance with Article IV hereof, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any other Partnership Interest. The General Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as
determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the qualification of the General Partner as a REIT, to make distributions (a) to Limited Partners so as to preclude any such distribution or portion thereof from being
treated as part of a sale of property by a Limited Partner under Section 707 Code or the Regulations thereunder; provided that, the General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any circumstances
as a result of any distribution to a Limited Partner being so treated, and (b) to the General Partner in an amount sufficient to enable the General Partner to pay stockholder dividends that will (1) satisfy the requirements for
qualification as a REIT under the Code and the Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”) and (2) avoid any federal income or excise tax liability for the General Partner. 
 B. Method. 
 (i) Each holder of
Partnership Interests shall be entitled to a distribution in accordance with the rights of any such class of Partnership Interests, including any preference in distribution. All distributions within a class of Partnership Interests shall be pro rata
in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests of the holders of such Partnership Interests on such Partnership Record Date. All distributions of Operating Cash Flow will be made pro rata among the holders of the Class A Interest in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. 
 (ii) All distributions of Capital Proceeds, and distributions upon a winding up or
liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.02 hereto or a Terminating Capital Transaction, shall be made: (A) first, 100% to the holders of the Class A Interest in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests on
the Partnership Record Date until the General Partner has received cumulative distributions under Section 5.01.B(i) and this Section 5.01.B(ii) equal to the aggregate Capital Contributions made by the holders of the Class A Interest
to the Partnership plus a cumulative, uncompounded return thereon of 7% per annum, determined by taking into account the dates on which all such Capital Contributions and distributions were made and (B) second, (1) 85% to the holders
of the Class A Interest, in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date, and (2) 15% to the Class B Partner on the Partnership Record Date. No distributions shall be made pursuant to this
Section 5.01.B(ii) to the Class B Partner if the Shares become Publicly Traded. 
  

 16 








 (iii) In the event that the Shares become Publicly Traded, the Class B Partner will be entitled to
receive the amount that would have been distributed to the Class B Partner as described in Section 5.01.B(ii) if the Partnership had distributed to the Partners upon liquidation an amount (the “Listing Distribution”) equal to the
market value of the General Partner’s listed Shares based upon the average closing price, or the average of the bid and asked prices, as the case may be, during a period of thirty (30) days during which such Shares are traded beginning
150 days after the Shares become Publicly Traded. The Listing Distribution shall be reduced by any previous distributions made to the Class B Partner by the Partnership pursuant to Section 5.01.B(ii). The Listing Distribution shall be
paid within 10 Business Days of the determination of the market value of the General Partner’s listed Shares as described above. The Listing Distribution shall be paid, as determined by the General Partner’s board of trustees, including a
majority of the independent trustees, either in the form of cash or Shares or through a promissory note. In the event that the Listing Distribution is satisfied through a promissory note, the terms and conditions of any such promissory note shall be
determined by the General Partner’s board of trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees. The Class B Interest shall be redeemed upon the payment to the Class B Partner of the Listing Distribution. 
 Section 5.02. Amounts Withheld 
 All amounts withheld pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and Section 10.05 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to the General Partner, the Limited Partners or Assignees shall

 ARTICLE VI 
 ALLOCATIONS 
 Section 6.01.
Allocations For Capital Account Purposes 
 For purposes of maintaining the Capital Accounts and in determining the rights of the
Partners among themselves, the Partnership’s items of income, gain, loss and deduction (computed in accordance with Exhibit B hereto) shall be allocated among the Partners in each taxable year (or portion thereof) as provided herein below.

 A. Allocations of Net Income. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Income for any Partnership Year or other applicable period
shall be allocated in the following order and priority: 
 (i) First, to the General Partner to the extent the cumulative Net Loss allocated
to the General Partner pursuant to subparagraph (B)(v) below exceeds the cumulative Net Income allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (A)(i); 
  

 17 








 (ii) Second, to each Obligated Partner until the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Obligated
Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (A)(ii) equals the cumulative Net Loss allocated to such Obligated Partner under subparagraph (B)(iv) below (and, among the Obligated Partners, pro rata in proportion to their respective
percentages of the cumulative Net Loss allocated to all Obligated Partners pursuant to subparagraph (B)(iv) below); 
 (iii) Third, to
the General Partner until the cumulative Net Income allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (A)(iii) equals the cumulative Net Loss allocated to the General Partner pursuant to subparagraph (B)(iii) below;

 (iv) Fourth, to the holders of any Partnership Interests that are entitled to any preference upon liquidation until the cumulative Net
Income allocated under this subparagraph (iv) equals the cumulative Net Loss allocated to such Partners under subparagraph (B)(ii); 
 (v) Fifth, to the holders of any Partnership Interest that is entitled to any preference in distribution in accordance with the rights of any other class of Partnership Interests until each such Partnership Interest has been allocated, on a
cumulative basis pursuant to this subparagraph (A)(v), Net Income equal to the amount of distributions received which are attributable to such preference with respect to such class of Partnership Interest (and, within such class,
pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is made); 
 (vi) Thereafter, with respect to Partnership Interests (other than the Class B Interest) that are not entitled to any preference in distribution or with respect to which distributions are not limited to any preference in distribution,
pro rata to each such class in accordance with their Percentage Interests (and, within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is
being made). 
 B. Allocations of Net Loss. Except as otherwise provided herein, Net Loss for any Partnership Year or other applicable
period shall be allocated in the following order and priority: 
 (i) First, with respect to classes of Partnership Interests that are not
entitled to any preference in distribution or with respect to which distributions are not limited to any preference in distribution (other than the Class B Interest), pro rata to each such class in accordance with their Percentage
Interests (and within such class, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the period for which such allocation is being made); provided that Net Loss shall not be allocated to any
Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (B)(i) to the extent that such allocation would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) (determined in each case
(i) by not including in the Partners’ Adjusted Capital Accounts any amount that a Partner is obligated to contribute to the Partnership with respect to any deficit in its Capital Account pursuant to Section 13.02, and (ii) in the
case of a Partner who also holds classes of Partnership Units that are entitled to any preferences upon liquidation, by subtracting from such Partners’ Adjusted Capital Account the amount of such preferred distribution to be made upon
liquidation) at the end of such Partnership Year or other applicable period; 
 (ii) Second, with respect to the classes of Partnership
Interests that are entitled to any preference upon liquidation, in reverse order of the priorities of each such class (and within each such class, pro rata in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests as of the last day of the
period for 

  

 18 








 
which such allocation is being made; provided that Net Loss shall not be allocated to any Partner pursuant to this subparagraph (B)(ii) to the
extent that such allocation would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit (or increase any existing Adjusted Capital Account Deficit) (determined in each case by not including in the Partners’ Adjusted Capital Accounts
any amount that a Partner is obligated to contribute to the Partnership with respect to any deficit in its Capital Account pursuant to Section 13.02) at the end of such Partnership Year or other applicable period; 
 (iii) Third, to the General Partner in an amount equal to the excess of (a) the amount of the Partnership Recourse Liabilities over (b) the
aggregate Protected Amounts of all Obligated Partners; 
 (iv) Fourth, to and among the Obligated Partners, in proportion to their respective
Protected Amounts, until such time as the Obligated Partners as a group have been allocated cumulative Net Loss pursuant to this subparagraph (B)(iv) equal to the Aggregate Protected Amount of all Obligated Partners; and 
 (v) Thereafter, to the General Partner. 
 C.
Priority Allocations to the Class B Partner. (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.01.A and 6.01.B above, the Class B Partner shall be allocated on a priority basis Net Income (or items thereof), including,
without limitation, items of Net Income from a Capital Transaction (including but not limited to net capital gain realized in connection with the adjustment to the Carrying Value of Partnership assets under Section 704(b) of the Code, including
upon the redemption of the Class B Interest for the Advisor Redemption Interest) on a cumulative basis pursuant to this Section 6.01.C in an amount equal to the amount of distributions made (or in connection with a Capital Transaction or
winding up or liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.02, to be made) to such Partner. 
 (ii) Any Net Loss pursuant to a
Capital Transaction that is associated with an actual sale of an asset in respect of which there is attributable an Advisor Redemption Interest shall be allocated to the holder of the Advisor Redemption Interest to the extent that such Net Loss
would reduce the aggregate amount otherwise distributable to the holder of the Advisor Redemption Interest compared to the amount which would have been distributable to such holder at the time the Class B Interest was redeemed pursuant to
Section 8.07. 
 D. Recapture Income. Any gain allocated to the Partners upon the sale or other taxable disposition of any
Partnership asset shall, to the extent possible after taking into account other required allocations of gain pursuant to Exhibit C hereto, be characterized as Recapture Income in the same proportions and to the same extent as such Partners have
been allocated any deductions directly or indirectly giving rise to the treatment of such gains as Recapture Income. 
 Section 6.02.
Revisions to Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests 
 In the event that the Partnership issues additional
Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Article VI and Exhibit A as it deems necessary to reflect the terms of
the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests, including making preferential allocations to classes of Partnership Interests that are entitled thereto. Such revisions shall not require the consent or approval of any other Partner.

determination of their compensation and other terms of employment or hiring; 
 (11) the maintenance of such insurance for the
benefit of the Partnership and the Partners as it deems necessary or appropriate; 
 (12) the formation of, or acquisition of
an interest (including non-voting interests in entities controlled by Affiliates of the Partnership or third parties) in, and the contribution of property to, any further limited or general partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies

investment from time to time or the incurrence of indebtedness on behalf of such Persons or the guarantee of obligations of such Persons); provided that, as long as the General Partner has determined to qualify as a REIT, the Partnership may
not engage in any such formation, acquisition or contribution that would cause the General Partner to fail to qualify as a REIT);

 21 








 (16) the exercise of any of the powers of the General Partner enumerated in this
Agreement on behalf of or in connection with any Subsidiary of the Partnership or any other Person in which the Partnership has a direct or indirect interest, individually or jointly with any such Subsidiary or other Person; 
 (17) the exercise of any of the powers of the General Partner enumerated in this Agreement on behalf of any Person in which the
Partnership does not have any interest pursuant to contractual or other arrangements with such Person; 
 (18) the making,
executing and delivering of any and all deeds, leases, notes, deeds to secure debt, mortgages, deeds of trust, security agreements, conveyances, contracts, guarantees, warranties, indemnities, waivers, releases or other legal instruments or
agreements in writing necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the General Partner for the accomplishment of any of the powers of the General Partner under this Agreement; 
 (19) the distribution of cash to acquire Partnership Units held by a Limited Partner in connection with a Limited Partner’s exercise
of its Redemption Right under Section 8.06 hereof; and 
 (20) the amendment and restatement of Exhibit A hereto to
reflect accurately at all times the Capital Contributions and Percentage Interests of the Partners as the same are adjusted from time to time to the extent necessary to reflect redemptions, Capital Contributions, the issuance of Partnership Units,
the admission of any Additional Limited Partner or any Substituted Limited Partner or otherwise, which amendment and restatement, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be deemed an amendment of this Agreement, as long
as the matter or event being reflected in Exhibit A hereto otherwise is authorized by this Agreement. 
 B. No Approval by Limited
Partners. Except as provided in Section 7.11 below, each of the Limited Partners agrees that the General Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the above-mentioned agreements and transactions on behalf of the Partnership
without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation, to the full extent permitted under the Act or other applicable law. The execution,
delivery or performance by the General Partner or the Partnership of any agreement authorized or permitted under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by the General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the
Limited Partners or any other Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity. 
 C. Insurance. At all
times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain (i) casualty, liability and other insurance on the properties of the Partnership, (ii) liability insurance for the Indemnitees
hereunder and (iii) such other insurance as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines to be necessary. 
 D.
Working Capital and Other Reserves. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to establish and maintain working capital reserves in such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time, including upon liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.02 hereof. 
 E. No Obligations to Consider Tax Consequences of Limited Partners. 
 In exercising its authority
under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner (including the General Partner) of any 

  

 22 








 
action taken (or not taken) by it. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner for monetary damages or otherwise
for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by such Limited Partner in connection with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith and pursuant to its authority under this Agreement.

 Section 7.02. Certificate of Limited Partnership 
 The General Partner has previously filed the Certificate with the Secretary of State of Delaware. To the extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable and necessary or appropriate, the
General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the
State of Delaware and each other state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. Subject to the terms of Section 8.05.A(4) hereof, the General Partner shall not be
required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited Partner. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be
reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Delaware and any other state, the
District of Columbia or other jurisdiction in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property. 
 Section 7.03. Title
to Partnership Assets 
 Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed
to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partners, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of
the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is
held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of
the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held. 
 Section 7.04. Reimbursement of the General Partner 
 A. No Compensation. Except as provided in this
Section 7.04 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles V and VI hereof regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its
services as general partner of the Partnership. 
 B. Responsibility for Partnership Expenses. The Partnership shall be responsible
for and shall pay all expenses relating to the Partnership’s organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations. The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in
its sole and absolute discretion, for all expenses it incurs relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without limitation, expenses related to the management and administration of any Subsidiaries
of the General Partner or the Partnership or Affiliates of the Partnership such as auditing expenses and filing fees); provided that, the amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by (i) any interest earned by the General Partner
with 

  

 23 








 
respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it as permitted in Section 7.05.A below and (ii) any amount derived by the
General Partner from any investments permitted in Section 7.05.A below. The 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.
In the event that certain expenses are incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the General Partner
in its sole and absolute discretion deems fair and reasonable. Such reimbursements shall be in addition to any reimbursement to the General Partner pursuant to Section 10.03.C hereof and as a result of indemnification pursuant to
Section 7.07 below. All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner. 
 C. Partnership Interest Issuance Expenses. The General Partner shall also be reimbursed for all expenses it incurs relating to any issuance of
additional Partnership Interests, Shares, Debt of the Partnership or the General Partner or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities pursuant to Article IV hereof (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses,
damages and other payments resulting from or arising in connection with litigation related to any of the foregoing), all of which expenses are considered by the Partners to constitute expenses of, and for the benefit of, the Partnership. 

D. Purchases of Shares by the General Partner. In the event that the General Partner exercises its rights under the Declaration of Trust to
purchase Shares or otherwise elects to purchase from its stockholders Shares in connection with a stock repurchase or similar program or for the purpose of delivering such Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment or stock
purchase program adopted by the General Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General Partner in the future, the purchase price paid by the General Partner
for such Shares and any other expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with such purchase shall be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be reimbursable to the General Partner. 
 E. Reimbursement not a Distribution. If and to the extent any reimbursement made pursuant to this Section 7.04 is determined for federal
income tax purposes not to constitute a payment of expenses of the Partnership, the amount so determined shall be treated as a distribution to the General Partner and there shall be a corresponding special allocation of gross income to the General
Partner, for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts. 
 Section 7.05. Outside Activities of the General
Partner 
 A. General. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, it is expressly understood and agreed that the
General Partner may, if it determines such action to be in the best interests of the REIT or the Partnership, elect to cause some or all of the assets of the Partnership (including cash expected to be utilized to purchase assets that will be so
held) to be distributed to and held directly by the General Partner (the “Specially Distributed Assets”). Concurrently with any such distribution, the General Partner shall (i) amend Section 5.01 of this Agreement so as to
provide that, from and after the date of such distribution, each Partner other than the General Partner will receive the same distributions that it would have received had the Specially Distributed Assets been held by the Partnership rather than
directly by the General Partner (and a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the distributions to be made to the General Partner); and (ii) make such further amendments to this Agreement (including, without limitation, to the income and
loss allocation provisions of Section 6.01 hereof) as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the intention of the parties that the Partners be placed, as nearly as possible, in the same position they would have been in had such Specially
Distributed Assets been held 

  

 24 








 
by the Partnership rather than directly by the General Partner; provided, however, that the General Partner shall in no event be required to
make contributions to the Partnership to fund distributions to the other Partners. 
 B. Repurchase of Shares. In the event the
General Partner exercises its rights under the Declaration of Trust to purchase Shares or otherwise elects to purchase from its stockholders Shares in connection with a stock repurchase or similar program or for the purpose of delivering such shares
to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment or stock purchase program adopted by the General Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General
Partner in the future, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the General Partner that number of Partnership Units of the appropriate class equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of Shares purchased by
the General Partner times a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor, on the same terms and for the same aggregate price that the General Partner purchased such Shares. 
 C. Forfeiture of Shares. In the event the Partnership or the General Partner acquires Shares as a result of the forfeiture of such Shares under a
restricted or similar share plan, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to cancel that number of Partnership Units of the appropriate class equal to the number of Shares so acquired divided by the Conversion Factor, and, if the
Partnership acquired such Shares, it shall transfer such Shares to the General Partner for cancellation. 
 D. Issuances of Shares.
After the date hereof, the General Partner shall not grant, award, or issue any additional Shares (other than Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof or pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of Shares to all
of its stockholders), other equity securities of the General Partner or New Securities unless (i) the General Partner shall cause, pursuant to Section 4.02.A hereof, the Partnership to issue to the General Partner Partnership Interests or
rights, options, warrants or securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially the same as those of such additional Shares, other equity securities or New
Securities, as the case may be, and (ii) the General Partner transfers to the Partnership, as an additional Capital Contribution, the proceeds from the grant, award, or issuance of such additional Shares, other equity securities or New
Securities, as the case may be, or from the exercise of rights contained in such additional Shares, other equity securities or New Securities, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue
additional Shares, other equity securities or New Securities, as the case maybe, for less than fair market value, and the General Partner is expressly authorized, pursuant to Section 4.02.A hereof, to cause the Partnership to issue to the
General Partner corresponding Partnership Interests, as long as (a) the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the interests of the General Partner and the Partnership (for example, and not by way of limitation, the
issuance of Shares and corresponding Partnership Units pursuant to a stock purchase plan providing for purchases of Shares, either by employees or stockholders, at a discount from fair market value or pursuant to employee stock options that have an
exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the Shares, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise) and (b) the General Partner transfers all proceeds from any such issuance or exercise to the Partnership as an
additional Capital Contribution. 
 E. Stock Option Plan. If at any time or from time to time, the General Partner sells Shares
pursuant to any Stock Option Plan, the General Partner shall transfer the net proceeds of the sale of such Shares to the Partnership as an additional Capital Contribution in exchange for an amount of additional Partnership Units equal to the number
of Shares so sold divided by the Conversion Factor. 
 F. Funding Debt. The General Partner may incur a Funding Debt, including,
without limitation, a Funding Debt that is convertible into Shares or otherwise constitutes a class of New 

  

 25 








 
Securities, subject to the condition that the General Partner lends to the Partnership the net proceeds of such Funding Debt; provided, that the
General Partner shall not be obligated to lend the net proceeds of any Funding Debt to the Partnership in a manner that would be inconsistent with the General Partner’s ability to remain qualified as a REIT. If the General Partner enters into
any Funding Debt, the loan to the Partnership shall be on comparable terms and conditions, including interest rate, repayment schedule and costs and expenses, as are applicable with respect to or incurred in connection with such Funding Debt.

 Section 7.06. Transactions with Affiliates 
 A. Transactions with Certain Affiliates. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (other than Section 7.01.A hereof which shall not be considered authority for a transaction that otherwise would be
prohibited by this Section 7.06.A), the Partnership shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, or borrow funds from, or lend funds to, any Partner or any Affiliate of the
Partnership or the General Partner that is not also a Subsidiary of the Partnership, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that (i) with respect to dispositions, are fair and reasonable to the Partnership, (ii) with respect to
acquisitions, are competitive and commercially reasonable to the Partnership and at a price no greater than the cost of the property, and (iii) with respect to loans, are as fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to
the Partnership than comparable loans between unaffiliated third parties. 
 B. Benefit Plans. The General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership,
Subsidiaries of the Partnership, the Advisor or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries.

 C. Conflict Avoidance. The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the Partnership, a
right of first opportunity arrangement and other conflict avoidance agreements with various Affiliates of the Advisor, the Partnership and General Partner on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are
advisable. 
 Section 7.07. Indemnification 
 A. General. The Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and other
legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and other amounts arising from or in connection with any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative incurred by the Indemnitee and
relating to the Partnership or the General Partner or the formation or operations of, or the ownership of property by, either of them as set forth in this Agreement in which any such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a
party or otherwise, unless it is established by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad
faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) the Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guarantee, contractual obligations for any indebtedness or other obligations 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 

  

 26 








 
one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.07 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability
for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.07.A. The termination of
any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or an entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this
Section 7.07.A with respect to the subject matter of such proceeding. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.07 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering
the General Partner and any Indemnitees, 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 7.07. 
 B. Advancement of Expenses. Reasonable expenses expected to be incurred by an Indemnitee 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 7.07.B 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. No Limitation of Rights. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.07 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement,
pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

 D. Insurance. The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the
General Partner shall determine against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to
indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 
 E. Benefit Plan Fiduciary. For purposes of
this Section 7.07, (i) the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise
involves services by, it to the plan or participants or beneficiaries of the plan, (ii) excise taxes assessed on an Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable law shall constitute fines within the meaning of this
Section 7.07 and (iii) actions taken or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries
of the plan shall be deemed to be for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the Partnership. 
 F. No Personal Liability
for Limited Partners. In no event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to personal liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. 
 G. Interested Transactions. An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.07 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. 
  


 27 








 H. Benefit. The provisions of this Section 7.07 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their
heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.07, or any provision hereof, shall be prospective only and
shall not in any way affect the limitation on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.07 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or related 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. Indemnification Payments Not Distributions. If and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.07 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. Compliance with Guidelines. Notwithstanding any
other term or condition of this Agreement, any indemnification, limitation of liability or advancement of expenses by the Partnership under Section 7.07 of this Agreement shall be permitted only to the extent such indemnification, limitation of
liability or advancement of expenses is consistent with Section II.G of the Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts published by the North American Securities Administrators Association. 
 Section 7.08. Liability of the General Partner 
 A. General. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the General Partner and its directors and officers shall not be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership, any Partners or
any Assignees for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the General Partner or its directors and officers acted in good faith.

 B. No Obligation to Consider Separate Interests of Limited Partners or Stockholders. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge
that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership and the General Partner’s stockholders collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of the Limited Partners (including, without
limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees or to such stockholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. In the event of a conflict between the interests of the stockholders of
the General Partner on one hand and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner or the Limited Partners;
provided, however, that for so long as the General Partner owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the General Partner or the
Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the stockholders. The General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages or otherwise for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such
decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith. 
 C. Actions of Agents. Subject to its obligations and
duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.01.A above, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its
employees or agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such employee or agent appointed by the General Partner in good faith. 
  

 28 








 D. Effect of Amendment. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.08 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 7.08 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. 
 E. Certain Definitions. Whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (i) in its “sole
discretion “or “discretion,” or under a similar grant of authority or latitude, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider such interests and factors as it desires and may consider its own interests, and shall have no duty or
obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or the Limited Partners, or (ii) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express
standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standards imposed by this Agreement or by law or any other agreement contemplated herein. 
 Section 7.09. Other Matters Concerning the General Partner 
 A. Reliance on Documents. The
General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it
in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 
 B. Reliance on Advisors. The
General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisors selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such
Persons as to matters which the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

 C. Action Through Agents. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to
act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all
and every act and duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder. 
 D. Actions to Maintain REIT
Qualification or Avoid Taxation of the General Partner. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from
acting on behalf of the Partnership undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) to allow the
General Partner to avoid incurring any liability for taxes under Section 857 or 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners. 
 Section 7.10. Reliance by Third Parties 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority, without consent or approval of any other Partner or
Person, to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership, to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership and to take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled
to deal with the General 

  

 29 








 
Partner as if the General Partner were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any
and all defenses or other remedies which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its
representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate,
document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the
execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for
and on behalf of the Partnership, and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership. 
 Section 7.11. Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority 
 A. Consent Required. The General Partner may not take any action in contravention of an express prohibition or limitation of this Agreement without the written Consent of (i) all Partners adversely
affected or (ii) such lower percentage of the Limited Partnership Interests as may be specifically provided for under a provision of this Agreement or the Act. 
 B. Sale of All Assets of the Partnership. Except as provided in Article XIII hereof, the General Partner may not, directly or indirectly, cause the Partnership to sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets in a single transaction or a series of related transactions (including by way of merger (including a triangular merger), consolidation or other combination with any other Persons)
(i) if such merger, sale or other transaction is in connection with a Termination Transaction permitted under Section 11.02.B hereof, without the Consent of the Partners holding a majority of Percentage Interests (including the effect of
any Partnership Units held by the General Partner) or (ii) otherwise, without the Consent of the Limited Partners. 
 Section 7.12.
Loans by Third Parties 
 The Partnership may incur Debt, or enter into similar credit, guarantee, financing or refinancing
arrangements for any purpose (including, without limitation, in connection with any acquisition of property or other assets) with any Person that is not the General Partner upon such terms as the General Partner determines appropriate.

this Agreement to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or such other
Person, could be taken by such Person. 
 Section 8.04. Return of Capital 
 Except pursuant to the rights of redemption set forth in Section 8.06 below, no Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its

expressly provided in this Agreement, as to profits, losses, distributions or credits. 
 Section 8.05. Rights of Limited Partners
Relating to the Partnership 
 A. General. In addition to other rights provided by this Agreement or by the Act, and except as
limited by 8.05.D below, each Limited Partner shall have the right, for a purpose reasonably related to such Limited Partner’s interest as a limited partner in the Partnership, upon written demand with a statement of the purpose of such demand
and at such Limited Partner’s own expense: 
 (1) to obtain a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports, if
any, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the General Partner pursuant to the Exchange Act; 
 (2) to obtain a
copy of the Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns for each Partnership Year; 
 (3) to obtain a
current list of the name and last known business, residence or mailing address of each Partner; 
  

 31

 C. Confidentiality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.05, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited
Partners, for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner reasonably believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information
the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership or could damage the Partnership or its business or (ii) the Partnership is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated
third parties to keep confidential. 
 Section 8.06. Class A Redemption Right 
 A. General. (i) Subject to Section 8.06.C below, on or after the date two (2) years after the issuance of a Class A Unit to a
Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the holder of a Class A Unit (if other than the General Partner) shall have the right (the “Redemption Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem such Class A Unit on a
Specified Redemption Date and at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount to be paid by the Partnership. Any such Redemption Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the Partnership (with a copy
to the General Partner) by the Limited Partner who is exercising the Redemption Right (the “Redeeming Partner”). A Limited Partner may not exercise the Redemption Right for less than one thousand (1,000) Class A Units or, if such
Redeeming Partner holds less than one thousand (1,000) Class A Units, for less than all of the Class A Units held by such Redeeming Partner. 
 (ii) The Redeeming Partner shall have no right with respect to any Class A Units so redeemed to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Redemption Date. 
 (iii) The Assignee of any Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.06 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 Limited Partner’s Assignee. In connection with any exercise of the such rights by such Assignee on behalf of such Limited
Partner, the Cash Amount shall be paid by the Partnership directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner. 
 B. General Partner
Assumption of Right. (i) If a Limited Partner has delivered a Notice of Redemption, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to any limitations on ownership and transfer of Shares set forth in the Declaration of
Trust), elect to assume directly and satisfy a Redemption Right by paying to the Redeeming Partner either the Cash Amount or the Shares Amount, as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion (provided that payment of
the Redemption Amount in the form of Shares shall be in Shares registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act on the Specified Redemption Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Class A Units offered for redemption by the
Redeeming Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. Unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall exercise its right to assume directly and satisfy the Redemption
Right, the General Partner shall not 

  

 32 








 
have any obligation to the Redeeming Partner or to the Partnership with respect to the Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the Redemption Right. In the
event the General Partner shall exercise its right to satisfy the Redemption Right in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.06.B and shall fully perform its obligations in connection therewith, the Partnership shall have
no right or obligation to pay any amount to the Redeeming Partner with respect to such Redeeming Partner’s exercise of the Redemption Right, and each of the Redeeming Partner, the Partnership and the General Partner shall, for federal income
tax purposes, treat the transaction between the General Partner and the Redeeming Partner as a sale of the Redeeming Partner’s Partnership Units to the General Partner. Nothing contained in this Section 8.06.B shall imply any right of the
General Partner to require any Limited Partner to exercise the Redemption Right afforded to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.06.A above. 
 (ii) In the event that the General Partner determines to pay the Redeeming Partner the Redemption Amount in the form of Shares, the total number of Shares to be paid to the Redeeming Partner in exchange for the
Redeeming Partner’s Partnership Units shall be the applicable Shares Amount. In the event this amount is not a whole number of Shares, the Redeeming Partner shall be paid (i) that number of Shares which equals the nearest whole number less
than such amount plus (ii) an amount of cash which the General Partner determines, in its reasonable discretion, to represent the fair value of the remaining fractional Share which would otherwise be payable to the Redeeming Partner.

 (iii) Each Redeeming Partner agrees to execute such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the
issuance of Shares upon exercise of the Redemption Right. 
 C. Exceptions to Exercise of Redemption Right. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 8.06.A and 8.06.B above, a Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Redemption Right pursuant to Section 8.06.A above if (but only as long as) the delivery of Shares to such Partner on the Specified Redemption
Date (i) would be prohibited under the Declaration of Trust or (ii) if the Shares are Publicly Traded, would be prohibited under applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations (in each case regardless of whether the General
Partner would in fact assume and satisfy the Redemption Right). 
 D. No Liens on Partnership Units Delivered for Redemption. Each
Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the General Partner that all Partnership Units delivered for redemption (including Partnership Units redeemed under Sections 8.06 and 8.07) shall be delivered to the Partnership or the General Partner,
as the case may be, free and clear of all liens, and, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the General Partner nor the Partnership shall be under any obligation to redeem Partnership Units which are or may be subject to
any liens. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Partnership Units to the Partnership or the General Partner, such Limited Partner shall assume
and pay such transfer tax. 
 E. Additional Partnership Interests. In the event that the Partnership issues Partnership Interests to
any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Article IV hereof, the General Partner shall make such amendments to this Section 8.06 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such Partnership Interests (including setting forth
any restrictions on the exercise of the Redemption Right with respect to such Partnership Interests). 
 Section 8.07. Redemption of
Class B Interest; Advisor Redemption Interest 
 A. Without Cause. If the Advisor is removed, replaced or otherwise terminated
without Cause pursuant to the Advisory Agreement then the Class B Interest shall be redeemed as of the Termination Date for a newly created class of Partnership Interest (the “Advisor Redemption Interest”); 

  

 33 








 
provided, however, that the Class B Interest shall be forfeited for no consideration in the event that the Advisor chooses to unilaterally
terminate the Advisory Agreement without cause by giving such notice of termination pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. The initial Capital Account balance of the Advisor Redemption Interest shall be the amount equal to the fair value of the
redeemed Class B Interest as of such Termination Date as determined herein (the “Advisor Redemption Interest Amount”). The General Partner shall send notice of redemption together with the name of an appraiser to value the redeemed
Class B Interest. The holder of the redeemed Class B Interest may, if it so desires, notify the General Partner that it has selected another appraiser. The appraiser(s) shall determine the fair value of the redeemed Class B Interest
as of the Termination Date. If such appraisers are not able to jointly determine such fair value, they shall jointly select a third appraiser and submit their respective determinations of such fair value to such appraiser, who shall select as the
fair value one of the two appraisals of the redeemed Class B Interest. When determining the fair value of the redeemed Class B Interest, the appraiser shall take into account all Net Income and distributions to which the redeemed
Class B Interest was and would be entitled if all of the assets of the Partnership were sold for their fair value on the Termination Date and the proceeds were distributed on such date pursuant to this Agreement. So long as the Advisor
Redemption Interest remains outstanding, the holder of the Advisor Redemption Interest shall be entitled to receive 15% of the Capital Proceeds received by the Partnership from a Capital Transaction after the holders of the Class A Interest, in
accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, have received cumulative distributions equal to the aggregate Capital Contributions made by the holders of the Class A Interest to the Partnership plus a cumulative, uncompounded return
thereon of 7% per annum, determined by taking into account the dates on which all such Capital Contributions and distributions were made. The Advisor Redemption Interest Amount shall be paid, as determined by the General Partner’s board of
trustees, including a majority of the independent trustees, either in the form of cash or Shares. The Advisor Redemption Interest shall be redeemed upon the payment of the Advisor Redemption Interest Amount. 
 B. For Cause. If the Advisor is removed, replaced or otherwise terminated for Cause pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, then the Class B
Interest will be subject to mandatory redemption on the Termination Date for $100. 
 Section 8.08. Voting Rights Of the Class B
Interest 
 So long as the Class B Interest or an Advisor Redemption Interest remains outstanding, the Partnership shall not, without
the consent of the Class B Partner or the holders of the Advisor Redemption Interest, as applicable, given in person or by proxy, amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the provisions of the Partnership Agreement
applicable to such Interest so as to materially and adversely affect any right, privilege or voting power of such Interest or such Partner. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS 
 Section 9.01. Records and Accounting 
 The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept at the
principal office of the Partnership appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership’s business, including, without limitation, all books and records necessary to provide to the Limited Partners any information, lists and copies of
documents required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.03 below. Any records maintained by or on behalf of the Partnership in the regular course of its business may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch cards, magnetic tape, photographs,
micrographics or any other information storage device, provided that the records so maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time. The books of the Partnership shall be maintained, for
financial and tax reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

financial statements of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the Partnership, for such Partnership Year, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
such statements to be audited by a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the General Partner. 
 B.
Quarterly Reports. If and to the extent that the General Partner mails quarterly reports to its stockholders, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the date on which such reports are mailed, the General Partner shall cause to be
mailed to each Limited Partner a report containing unaudited financial statements, as of the last day of such calendar quarter, of the Partnership, or of the General Partner if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the
Partnership, and such other information as may be required by applicable law or regulation, or as the General Partner determines to be appropriate. 
 ARTICLE X 
 TAX MATTERS 
 Section 10.01. Preparation of Tax Returns 
 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 for 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 Limited Partners for federal and state income tax reporting purposes. 
 Section 10.02. Tax Elections 
 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. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including, without limitation, an 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. 
 Section 10.03. Tax Matters Partner 
 A. General. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner”
of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section 6223(c)(3) of the Code, upon receipt of notice from the 

  

 35 








 
IRS of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address,
taxpayer identification number and profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and any Assignees; provided, however, that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners. 
 B. Powers. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required: 
 (1) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership
items required to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the
settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and
Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in
Section 6231(a)(8) of the Code) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code); 
 (2) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner,
to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax Court or the filing of a complaint for refund with the United States Claims Court or the District Court of the United States for the
district in which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located; 
 (3) to intervene in any action brought by
any other Partner for judicial review of a final adjustment;

the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request; 
 (5) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be
taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and 
 (6) to take any other action on
behalf of the Partners of the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law or regulations. 
 The taking of any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the
tax matters partner and the provisions relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.07 hereof shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such. 
 C. Reimbursement. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax
matters partner in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm or a law firm to
assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties hereunder. 
  

 36 








 Section 10.04. Organizational Expenses 
 The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a sixty (60) month period as
provided in Section 709 of the Code. 
 Section 10.05. Withholding 
 Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal,
state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Section 1441, 1442, 1445, or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a recourse loan by the
Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a
distribution which would otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for
such payment, be distributed to the Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and
irrevocably grants to the Partnership a security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this
Section 10.05. In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.05 when due, 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 (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions). Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as
published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in
full. Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder. 
 ARTICLE XI 
 TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS 
 Section 11.01. Transfer 
 A.
Definition. The term “transfer,” when used in this Article XI with respect to a Partnership Interest or a Partnership Unit, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign all or any
part of its General Partnership Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to assign all or any part of its Limited Partnership Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance,
hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term “transfer” when used in this Article XI does not include any redemption or repurchase of Partnership Units by the Partnership from a Partner
(including the General Partner) or acquisition of Partnership Units from a Limited Partner by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof or otherwise. No part of the interest of a Limited Partner shall be subject to the claims of any
creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement. 
  

 37 








 B. General. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in
accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article XI. Any transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article XI shall be null and void. 
 Section 11.02. Transfers of Partnership Interests of General Partner 
 A. Except for transfers of Partnership Units to the Partnership as provided in Section 7.05 or Section 8.06 hereof, the General Partner may not
transfer any of its Partnership Interest except (i) to a wholly-owned Subsidiary or (ii) as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement. In addition, the General Partner shall not withdraw as General Partner or engage in a
Termination Transaction except in connection with a transaction described in Section 11.02.B below. 
 B. The General Partner shall not
engage in any merger (including a triangular merger), consolidation or other combination with or into another person, sale of all or substantially all of its assets or any reclassification, recapitalization or change of outstanding Shares (other
than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination as described in the definition of “Conversion Factor”) (“Termination Transaction”), unless the Termination Transaction
has been approved by the Consent of the Partners holding a majority or more of the then outstanding Percentage Interests (including the effect of any Partnership Units held by the General Partner) and in connection with which all Limited Partners
(excluding the Class B Partner) either will 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 Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of
cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of Shares, if any, corresponding to such Partnership Unit that was issued pursuant to Section 4.02.A hereof in consideration of one such Share at any time during the period from and after the
date on which the Termination Transaction is consummated; provided that, if, in connection with the Termination Transaction, a purchase, tender or exchange offer shall have been made to and accepted by the holders of more than fifty percent
(50%) of the outstanding Shares, each holder of Partnership Units shall receive, or shall have the right to elect to receive, the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property which such holder would have received had it exercised the
Redemption Right and received Shares in exchange for its Partnership Units immediately prior to the expiration of such purchase, tender or exchange offer and had thereupon accepted such purchase, tender or exchange offer. 
 Section 11.03. Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer 
 A. General. A Limited Partner may not transfer any of such Limited Partner’s rights as a Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which consent the General Partner may withhold in its
sole discretion. 
 B. Incapacitated Limited Partners. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator,
trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners for the purpose of settling or managing the
estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. 

C. No Transfers Violating Securities Laws. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer of Partnership Units by a Limited Partner if, in the
opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act or would otherwise violate any federal, or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the
Partnership Unit. 
  

 38 








 D. No Transfers Affecting Tax Status of Partnership. No transfer of Partnership Units by a Limited
Partner (including a redemption or exchange pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof) may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would result in the Partnership being treated as an association taxable
as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or would result in a termination of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners
other than the General Partner or any Subsidiary of the General Partner or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 7.11.B or Section 11.02 hereof), (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would
adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code or (iii) such transfer is effectuated
through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code. 
 E. No Transfers to Holders of Nonrecourse Liabilities. No pledge or transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership,
or to 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 without the consent of the General Partner, in its sole and absolute
discretion; provided that, as a condition to such consent the lender will be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to exchange or redeem for the Redemption Amount any Partnership Units transferred
or 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. Transfer Register. The General Partner shall keep a register for the Partnership on which the transfer, pledge or release of Partnership Units
shall be shown and pursuant to which entries shall be made to effect all transfers, pledges or releases as required by Sections 8-207,8-313(1) and 8-321 of the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, in effect in the States of New York and
Delaware; provided, however, that if there is any conflict between such requirements, the provisions of the Delaware Uniform Commercial Code shall govern. The General Partner shall (i) place proper entries in such register clearly
showing each transfer and each pledge and grant of security interest and the transfer and assignment pursuant thereto, such entries to be endorsed by the General Partner and (ii) maintain the register and make the register available for
inspection by all of the Partners and their pledgees at all times during the term of this Agreement. Nothing herein shall be deemed a consent to any pledge or transfer otherwise prohibited under this Agreement. 
 Section 11.04. Substituted Limited Partners 
 A. Consent of General Partner. No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in its place without the consent of the General Partner to the admission of a transferee of
the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.04 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal
to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner. 
 B. Rights of Substituted Limited Partner. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article XI shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all
the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement. The admission of 

  

 39 








 
any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be conditioned upon the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all the
terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 15.11 hereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission). 
 C. Amendment and Restatement of Exhibit A. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend and restate
Exhibit A hereto to reflect the name, address, Capital Account, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address, Capital Account and Percentage
Interest of the predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner. 
 Section 11.05. Assignees 
 If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.03 above
as a Substituted Limited Partner, as described in Section 11.04 above, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership
interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, gain, loss and Recapture Income attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, and shall have the
rights granted to the Limited Partners under Section 8.06 hereof 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). In the event any such transferee desires
to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article XI to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership
Units. 
 Section 11.06. General Provisions 
 A. Withdrawal of Limited Partner. 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 XI or pursuant to redemption of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.06 hereof. 
 B. Termination of Status
as Limited Partner. Any Limited Partner who shall transfer all of its Partnership Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article XI or pursuant to redemption of all of its Partnership Units under Section 8.06 hereof shall cease
to be a Limited Partner. 
 C. Timing of Transfers. Transfers pursuant to this Article XI may only be made on the first day of a
fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees. 
 D. Allocations. If any Partnership Interest is
transferred during any quarterly segment of the Partnership’s fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article XI or redeemed or transferred pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof, Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and
all other items attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the fiscal year in accordance with
Section 706(d) of the Code, using the interim closing of the books method (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly, or a monthly proration period, in which event Net Income, Net Losses,
each item thereof and all other items attributable to such interest for such fiscal year shall be prorated based upon the applicable method selected by the General Partner). Solely 

  

 40 








 
for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which the transfer or redemption occurs shall be allocated to the
Person who is a Partner as of midnight on the last day of said month. All distributions attributable to any Partnership Unit with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer, assignment or redemption shall be
made to the transferor Partner or the Redeeming Partner, as the case may be, and, in the case of a transfer or assignment other than a redemption, all distributions thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made to the transferee
Partner. 
 E. Additional Restrictions. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including without
limitation the provisions of this Article XI, in no event may any transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to Section 8.06 hereof) 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 redemption or exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 7.11.B or
Section 11.02 hereof); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, 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 redemption or
exchange for Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 7.11.B or Section 11.02 hereof); (vi) if 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);
(vii) if such transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.1101;
(viii) if such transfer requires the registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (ix) 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; (x) if such transfer subjects 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; (xi) if the transferee or assignee of such Partnership Interest is unable to make the representations set forth in Section 15.14 hereof or such transfer could otherwise adversely affect the ability of the General
Partner to remain qualified as a REIT; or (xii) if in the opinion of legal counsel for 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. 
 F. Avoidance of “Publicly Traded Partnership”
Status. 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.

 ARTICLE XII 
 ADMISSION OF PARTNERS 
 Section 12.01. Admission of Successor General Partner 
 A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 11.02 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a
successor General Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective upon such transfer. Any such transferee shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject
to the successor General Partner’s executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission. 
 Section 12.02. Admission of Additional Limited Partners 
 A. General. No Person shall be admitted as an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which consent shall be given or withheld in the General Partner’s sole and absolute
discretion. A Person who makes a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.01.C hereof, or who exercises an option to receive Partnership Units shall be
admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only with the consent of the General Partner and only upon furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 15.11 hereof and (ii) such other documents or instruments as may be required in the discretion of the General Partner in order to
effect such Person’s admission as an Additional Limited Partner. The admission of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of the
Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner to such admission. 
 B. Allocations to Additional Limited Partners. If any
Additional Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items allocable among Partners and Assignees for such Partnership Year
shall be allocated among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees 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 (unless the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to adopt a daily, weekly or monthly proration method, in which event Net Income, Net Losses, and each item thereof would be prorated based upon the applicable
period selected by the General Partner). Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Partners and Assignees
including such Additional Limited Partner. All distributions with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner, and all
distributions thereafter shall be made to all the Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner. 
 Section 12.03.
Amendment of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership

Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership (including an amendment and restatement of Exhibit A hereto) and, if necessary, to prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this
Agreement and, if required by law, shall prepare and file an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of attorney granted pursuant to Section 15.11 hereof. 
  

 42 








 ARTICLE XIII 
 DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION 
 Section 13.01. Dissolution 
 The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor
General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound
up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (“Liquidating Events”): 
 (i) the expiration of its term as provided in
Section 2.04 hereof; 
 (ii) an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act (other than an event of bankruptcy),
unless, within ninety (90) days after the withdrawal a “majority in interest” (as defined below) of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date
of withdrawal, of a substitute General Partner; 
 (iii) an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion; 
 (iv) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act; or

 (v) a final and nonappealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or
insolvent, or a final and nonappealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless
prior to or within ninety days after of the entry of such order or judgment a “majority in interest” (as defined below) of the remaining Partners Consent in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment,
effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner. 
 As used herein, a “majority in
interest” shall refer to Partners (excluding the General Partner) who hold more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding Percentage Interests not held by the General Partner. 
 Section 13.02. Winding Up 
 A.
General. 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. No
Partner shall take any action that is in consistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person
elected by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners (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 equity or other securities
of the General Partner or any other entity) shall be applied and distributed in the following order: 
 (1) First, to the
payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners; 
  

 43 








 (2) Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and
liabilities to the Partners; and 
 (3) The balance, if any, to the Partners in accordance with Section 5.01B.

 The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article XIII. 
 B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.02.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of
priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the
Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the
Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.02.A hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in kind
shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the
Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of
valuation as it may adopt. 
 C. In the event that the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article XIII to the Partners and Assignees that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2) to the extent of,
and in proportion to, positive Capital Account balances. Subject to Section 13.02.D. below, if any Partner has a deficit balance in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all taxable
years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs) (a “Capital Account Deficit”), such Partner shall not be required to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with respect to a Capital Account Deficit,
if any, of such Partner, and such Capital Account Deficit shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or any other person for any purpose whatsoever. 
 D. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.02.C, (i) if the General Partner has a Capital Account Deficit, the General Partner shall contribute to the capital of the Partnership the amount necessary to
restore such Capital Account Deficit balance to zero; (ii) if an Obligated Partner has a Capital Account Deficit, such Obligated Partner shall be obligated to make a contribution to the Partnership with respect to any such Capital Account
Deficit balance upon a liquidation of the Partnership or a “liquidation” of such Partner’s Partnership Interest within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) (which term shall include a redemption by the
Partnership of such Obligated Partner’s Partnership Interest upon exercise of the Redemption Right) in an amount equal to the lesser of such Capital Account Deficit balance or such Obligated Partner’s Protected Amount; and (iii) the
second sentence of Section 13.02.C shall not apply with respect to any other Partner to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Partner previously has agreed in writing, with the consent of the General Partner, to undertake an express
obligation to restore all or any portion of a deficit that may exist in its Capital Account upon a liquidation of the Partnership. Solely for purposes of determining an Obligated Partner’s Capital Account balance upon a liquidation of such
Partner’s Partnership Interest, the General Partner 

  

 44 








 
shall redetermine the Carrying Value of the Partnership’s assets on such date based upon the principles set forth in the definition of “Carrying
Value” and Exhibit B hereto, and shall take into account the Obligated Partner’s allocable share of any unrealized gain or unrealized loss resulting from such adjustment in determining the Obligated Partner’s Capital Account
balance. No Partner shall have the right to become an Obligated Partner, to increase its Protected Amount, or otherwise to agree to restore any portion of any Capital Account Deficit without the express written consent of the General Partner, in its
sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner shall not have the right to eliminate or decrease any Partner’s Protected Amount without the written consent of such Partner unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Any contribution required
of a Partner under this Section 13.02.D shall be made on or before the later of (i) the end of the Partnership Year in which the interest is liquidated or (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day following the date of such liquidation. The
proceeds of any contribution to the Partnership made by an Obligated Partner with respect to such Obligated Partner’s Capital Account Deficit balance shall be treated as a Capital Contribution by such Obligated Partner and the proceeds thereof
shall be treated as assets of the Partnership to be applied as set forth in Section 13.02.A. 
 E. In the sole and absolute discretion
of the General Partner or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the Partners pursuant to this Article XIII may be: 
 (i) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and the Limited Partners for the purpose of liquidating Partnership assets,
collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership and/or Partnership activities. 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 General Partner or the Liquidator, in the same proportions and amounts as would otherwise have been
distributed to the General Partner and the Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or 
 (ii) 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 13.02.A hereof as soon as practicable. 
 Section 13.03. Deemed Distribution and Recontribution 
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XIII,
in the event the Partnership is deemed liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities
shall not be paid or discharged and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, for federal income tax purposes and for purposes of maintaining Capital Accounts pursuant to Exhibit B hereto, the Partnership shall be deemed to
have distributed its assets in kind to the General Partner and Limited Partners, who shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such assets subject to all Partnership liabilities, all in accordance with their respective Capital Accounts. Immediately
thereafter, the General Partner and Limited Partners shall be deemed to have recontributed the Partnership assets in kind to the Partnership, which shall be deemed to have assumed and taken such assets subject to all such liabilities. 
 Section 13.04. Rights of Limited Partners 
 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 

  

 45 








 
demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner shall have
priority over any other Limited Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions, distributions, or allocations. 
 Section 13.05.
Notice of Dissolution 
 In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for provisions of an election or
objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.01 above, 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 and to all
other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly
conducts business(as determined in the discretion of the General Partner). 
 Section 13.06. Cancellation of Certificate of Limited
Partnership 
 Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.02 above, the
Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate 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. 
 Section 13.07. 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 13.02 above, 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. 
 Section 13.08. Waiver of Partition 
 Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property. 
 Section 13.09. Liability of Liquidator

 The Liquidator shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Partnership in the same manner and to the same degree as an Indemnitee may be
indemnified pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof. 
 ARTICLE XIV 
 AMENDMENT OF PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT; MEETINGS 
 Section 14.01. Amendments 
 A. General. Amendments to this Agreement may be proposed by the General Partner or by any Limited Partners holding twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the Partnership Interests. Following such proposal (except an amendment pursuant to Section 14.01.B below), the General Partner shall submit any proposed amendment to the Limited Partners. The General Partner shall seek
the written vote of the Partners on the proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that it may deem appropriate. For purposes of obtaining a written vote, the General Partner may require a response
within a reasonable specified time, but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a vote which is consistent with the General Partner’s 

  

 46 








 
recommendation with respect to the proposal. Except as provided in Section 14.01.B, 14.01.C or 14.01.D below, a proposed amendment shall be adopted and
be effective as an amendment hereto if it is approved by the General Partner and it receives the Consent of Partners holding a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners (including Limited Partnership Interests held by the General
Partner). 
 B. Amendments Not Requiring Limited Partner Approval. Notwithstanding Section 14.01.A or Section 14.01.C
hereof, the General Partner shall have the power, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, to amend this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes: 
 (1) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of
the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners; 
 (2) to reflect the admission, substitution, termination or
withdrawal of any Partner in accordance with this Agreement; 
 (3) to set forth the designations, rights, powers, duties, and
preferences of the holders of any additional Partnership Interests issued pursuant to Article IV hereof; 
 (4) to
reflect a change that does not adversely affect any of the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other
changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement or as may be expressly provided by any other provisions of this Agreement; 
 (5) to adjust the terms hereof to reflect any Specially Distributed Assets, as contemplated in Section 7.05.A hereof; and 

(6) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a
federal, state or local agency or contained in federal, state or local law.

 47 








 
this Agreement may be amended by the General Partner to provide that certain Limited Partners have the obligation, upon liquidation of their interests in the
Partnership (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g)), to restore to the Partnership the amounts of their negative Capital Account balances, if any, for the benefit of creditors of the Partnership or Partners with
positive Capital Account balances or both, together with any necessary corresponding amendments (including corresponding amendments to Sections 6.01.A, 6.01.B and Exhibit C), with the consent of only such Limited Partners and of any other
Limited Partners already subject to such a restoration obligation whose restoration obligation may be affected by such amendment. 
 E.
Amendment and Restatement of Exhibit A Not An Amendment. Notwithstanding anything in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, any amendment and restatement of Exhibit A hereto by the General Partner to
reflect events or changes otherwise authorized or permitted by this Agreement, whether pursuant to Section 7.01.A(20) hereof or otherwise, shall not be deemed an amendment of this Agreement and may be done at any time and from time to time, as
necessary by the General Partner without the Consent of the Limited Partners.

instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of a majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement). Such consent shall be filed with the General Partner. An
action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. 
 C. Proxy. Each Limited

Status

of this Agreement, the amount of such General Partner Payments for any fiscal year shall not exceed the lesser of: 
 (i) an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) 4.20% of the General Partner’s total gross income (but not including the amount of any General Partner Payments) for the fiscal year which is described in subsections (A) though (H) of
Section 856(c)(2) of the Code over (b) the amount of gross income (within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) of the Code) derived by the General Partner from sources other than those described in subsections (A) through (H) of
Section 856(c)(2) of the Code (but not including the amount of any General Partner Payments); or 
 (ii) an amount equal
to the excess, if any of (a) 25% of the General Partner’s total gross income (but not including the amount of any General Partner Payments) for the fiscal year which is described in subsections (A) through (I) of

Payments in excess of the amounts set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above may be made if the General Partner, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts would not adversely
affect the General Partner’s ability to 

  

 51 








 
qualify as a REIT. To the extent General Partner Payments may not be made in a year due to the foregoing limitations, such General Partner Payments shall
carry over and be treated as arising in the following year, provided, however, that such amounts shall not carry over for more than five years, and if not paid within such five year period, shall expire; provided,
further, that (i) as General Partner Payments are made, such payments shall be applied first to carryover amounts outstanding, if any, and (ii) with respect to carryover amounts for more than one Partnership Year, such payments
