Asset, may not be assigned to the Operating Partnership without the consent of another person which has not been obtained, this Agreement
shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and
the Contributor, at its expense, shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Related Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior
to the Closing by the written mutual consent of all of the parties hereto. Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 2.3, Section 6.1, or Section 6.2, this Agreement forthwith shall become void and there shall be no liability
or further obligation under or in respect of this Agreement on the part of the Operating Partnership, the Contributor or their affiliates
or their respective officers, directors, members, partners or shareholders of any of the foregoing, except to the extent that any right,
obligation and/or liability set forth herein expressly survives the termination of this Agreement.

amount as it is required to deduct and withhold from such payment under the Code or any provision of U.S. federal, state, local or foreign
tax law. To the extent that amounts are withheld by the Operating Partnership, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this
Agreement as having been paid to the Contributor in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Operating Partnership.
The parties shall cooperate to use reasonable efforts to minimize or eliminate any potential withholding.

(h)            Existing

Investor. The Contributor and each of the direct and indirect partners, members and/or other beneficiaries is an accredited investor,
meaning a person who qualified as an "accredited investor" under Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
The Contributor understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the acquisition of OP Units (including any securities
into which the OP Units may be converted). The Contributor by reason of its business and financial experience, or its managers, together
with the business and financial experience of those persons, if any, retained by the Contributor to represent or advise the Contributor
with respect to the Contributor's investment in OP Units (including any securities into which the OP Units may be converted):


 


(i)            has

or agents or on representations or warranties of the Operating Partnership other than those set forth in this Agreement.

(j)            Investment
For Own Account. The OP Units to be acquired by the Contributor as contemplated hereby will be acquired for its own account for
investment only and not with a view to, or with any intention of, a distribution or resale thereof, in whole or in part, in any transaction
that would require registration under the Securities Act unless such OP Units are so registered.


 


(k)            Access
to Information; Review of Documents. The Contributor confirms and acknowledges that: (i) the Contributor has carefully read
and understood this Agreement and the Partnership Agreement; (ii) the Contributor has made such further investigations as the Contributor
has deemed appropriate; (iii) neither the Corporation, General Partner, the Operating Partnership nor anyone else on the Operating
Partnership's behalf has made any representations or warranties of any kind or nature to induce the Contributor to enter into this Agreement
except as specifically set forth in Section 4.2; (iv) the Contributor has been afforded access to information about the Operating
Partnership and the Corporation and each entity's respective financial condition and results of operations sufficient to evaluate its
investment in OP Units; and (v) the Contributor has been afforded the opportunity to obtain any additional information necessary

(l)            Unregistered

(i)            The
OP Units to be acquired by the Contributor hereunder, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock
that may be issued upon exchange or conversion of such OP Units, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as in effect
from time to time (the "Securities Act"), or state securities laws by reason of a specific exemption or exemptions from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws;


 


(ii)            The
Operating Partnership's and Corporation's reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations
and warranties of the Contributor contained herein; and


 


(iii)            The
OP Units and Class B Common Stock, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock that may be
issued upon exchange or conversion of such OP Units, therefore, cannot be resold unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable
state securities laws, or unless an exemption from registration is available.


 


The Contributor hereby acknowledges that because
of the restrictions on transfer or assignment of such OP Units to be issued hereunder, together with the shares of Class A Common
Stock and Class B Common Stock that may be issued upon exchange or conversion of such OP Units, the Contributor may have to bear
the economic risk of such OP Units, Class B Common Stock or Class A Common Stock for an indefinite period of time. The Contributor
also acknowledges that certificates (if any) representing the OP Units, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock that may be issued upon exchange or conversion of such OP Units, will bear a legend substantially similar to the following:
