     (e) No fractional Shares shall be issued hereunder. In lieu of fractional
Shares, the General Partner shall pay cash based on the Current Per Share Market
Price on the relevant Computation Date.

     3. Exercise of Redemption Rights.

     3.1 Time for Exercise of Redemption Rights. Contributing Partner may
exercise his Redemption Rights in whole or in part and at any time and from time
to time on or after the second anniversary of the date hereof but prior to the
Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Redemption Rights may not be
exercised at any one time by Contributing Partner with respect to less than
1,000 Units (or all the Units then owned by Contributing Partner if Contributing
Partner owns less than 1,000 Units) or in the event that such exercise of
Redemption Rights (or the assignment of Units or delivery of either the Cash
Purchase Price or the Share Purchase Price with respect thereto) violates the
terms of the Partnership Agreement or applicable law. Once given, a Notice shall
be irrevocable subject to the payment of the Purchase Price for the Units
specified therein in accordance with the terms hereof.

     3.2 Method of Exercise. The Redemption Rights shall be exercised by written
notice (the "Notice") to the Partnership in the form of Exhibit A specifying the
number of Units to be redeemed and the name or names (with address) in which any
Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be registered if different than the
Contributing Partner.

     3.3 Closing. The closing of the redemption or purchase and sale pursuant to
an exercise of the Redemption Rights shall occur within 30 days following the
giving of the Notice. Contributing Partner shall execute such documents as the
General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the closing of such
redemption or purchase and sale.

     3.4 Payment of Cash or Issuance of Shares. At the closing of the redemption
or purchase and sale of Units pursuant to an

                                        6

<PAGE>

exercise of Redemption Rights, the Partnership shall deliver to Contributing
Partner the Cash Purchase Price by check or, in the event that the General
Partner has assumed the obligations of the Partnership with respect to such
exercise of Redemption Rights, the General Partner shall deliver to the
Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, which may be exercised in
the General Partner's sole discretion, either (a) the Cash Purchase Price in
immediately available funds or (b) certificates representing the Shares and any
other securities constituting the Share Purchase Price, together with cash in
lieu of the issuance of any fraction of a Share as provided in Section 2(e), or
a combination thereof.

     4. Matters Relating to Shares.

     4.1 Registration.

     (a) The General Partner shall (i) prepare, file and use reasonable efforts
to cause to become effective on or before the ninetieth day following the second
anniversary of the date hereof a registration statement, which may be on Form
S-3, under the Securities Act relating to the Shares to be issued upon exercise
of the Redemption Rights assuming full satisfaction of the Redemption Rights by
delivery of Shares and (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and
to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.

     (b) The General Partner shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred prior
to the seventh anniversary of the date hereof with respect to filing and keeping
effective the registration statement through such date, and the Unitholders
shall reimburse the General Partner for Registration Expenses (or a pro rata
portion of the Registration Expenses based on the number of Shares issuable to
such Unitholders upon full exercise of the Redemption Rights of such Unitholders
relative to the total number of Shares issuable pursuant to such registration
statement) which are incurred after the seventh anniversary of the date hereof
in respect of maintaining effective (but not the initial filing and causing to
become effective of) such registration statement; provided, however, that
Contributing Partner shall not be required to reimburse any costs (i) of
preparing any documents filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement or (ii) that become necessary because the General
Partner is unable to use Form S-3

                                        7

<PAGE>

(or any equivalent short form that relies on incorporation by reference) for the
reason that the General Partner has failed to comply on a timely basis with any
requirement of the Acts or Form S-3. The reimbursement of such expenses by the
Unitholders shall be paid upon demand.

     (c) If under the Securities Act or then current SEC policy the
above-described registration of the Shares constituting the Share Purchase Price
(assuming full satisfaction of the Redemption Rights by delivery of Shares) is
not permitted for any reason or the public resale of such Shares may not be
effected by Contributing Partner without the further registration under the
Securities Act of such Shares for resale, the General Partner shall use
reasonable efforts to register such Shares for resale, which may be accomplished
by means of a shelf registration (and the General Partner shall not be required
to register such Shares pursuant to Section 4.1(a)), and Contributing Partner
and the General Partner shall enter into customary agreements with respect
thereto which contain provisions similar to those contained in Section 4.1(a)
and (b) (except that (i) such registration statement only shall be maintained
until the Shares registered thereunder have been sold or are eligible for resale
under Rule 144(k) promulgated under the Securities Act (without regard to the
period that Units were held prior to the exchange of such Units for Shares
pursuant to the Redemption Rights) and (ii) after the seventh anniversary of the
date hereof, Contributing Partner shall pay the Registration Expenses therefor
or a pro rata portion thereof based on the number of Shares of Contributing
Partner which remain available for sale pursuant to such registration statement
relative to the total number of Shares that remain available for sale pursuant
to such registration statement) and other customary provisions, including
without limitation customary indemnification provisions.

     (d) If a registration statement referred to in Section 4.1(a) or (c) is not
effective on the later of the ninetieth day following the second anniversary of
the date hereof and the closing pursuant to any exercise of Redemption Rights
where Shares are otherwise issuable (unless, in either case, Contributing
Partner has defaulted hereunder), the General Partner shall not have the right
to deliver the Share Purchase Price in respect of such exercise of Redemption
Rights, and the General Partner or the Partnership shall deliver the Cash
Purchase Price on the date specified in Section 3.3 (but the General Partner
shall not otherwise have any liability therefor); provided, however, that the
General Partner may

                                        8

<PAGE>

deliver Shares if it previously filed a registration statement under Section
4.1(c) and such registration statement has not yet been declared effective
solely by reason of the fact that the Shares are not yet outstanding. In the
event that Shares are delivered to Contributing Partner pursuant to an exercise
of Redemption Rights and the proviso contained in the immediately preceding
sentence and the registration statement referred to in such sentence shall not
have been declared effective on or before the tenth business day following
delivery of such Shares, the General Partner shall, upon written notice from
Contributing Partner to the General Partner, repurchase such Shares, and
Contributing Partner shall sell such Shares to the General Partner, for a
purchase price equal to the Cash Purchase Price relating to such exercise of
Redemption Rights. Each of Contributing Partner and the General Partner shall
execute such documents as may be reasonably requested by the other to effectuate
such repurchase and sale.

     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General
Partner shall have no obligation to keep any registration statement filed
pursuant to this Section 4.1 effective after the Expiration Date or if the
status of the General Partner (or its successor) as an Exchange Act Reporting
Company is terminated or all of the Unitholders notify the General Partner in
writing that the General Partner no longer need keep such registration statement
effective.

     4.2 Reservation of Shares. At all times while the Redemption Rights are
outstanding, the General Partner shall reserve for issuance such number of
Shares as may be necessary to enable the General Partner to issue Shares in full
satisfaction of all Redemption Rights which are from time to time outstanding
(assuming no limitations as to the ownership of such Shares under the
Certificate of Incorporation which relate to compliance with the REIT
Requirements and that the General Partner elected to pay the Share Purchase
Price with respect to all such Redemption Rights).

     4.3 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. All Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of the Redemption Rights shall be duly and validly issued and fully
paid and non-assessable.

     5. Transfer and Other Taxes. In the event that any state or local property
transfer or other tax is payable as the result of or in connection with any
exercise of the Redemption Rights by Contributing Partner, Contributor Partner
shall pay such tax, and no Shares shall be issued pursuant hereto until such

                                        9

<PAGE>

Contributor Partner has paid to the General Partner or the Partnership, as the
case may be, the amount of such tax or has provided evidence, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the General Partner or the Partnership, as the case may be, as
to the payment thereof.

     6. Anti-Dilution and Adjustment Provisions.

     (a) The Conversion Factor shall be adjusted 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. 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 such event.

     (b) If at any time the General Partner grants to its stockholders any right
to subscribe pro rata for additional securities of the General Partner, whether
Common Stock or other classifications, or for any other securities or interests
that Contributing Partner would have been entitled to subscribe for if,
immediately prior to such grant, Contributing Partner had exercised his
Redemption Rights and received the Share Purchase Price in payment thereof, in
lieu of any adjustment under any other subsection of this Section 6 or other
provision of this Agreement, then the General Partner also shall grant to
Contributing Partner the same subscription rights that Contributing Partner
would be entitled to if Contributing Partner had exercised his Redemption Rights
in full and received the Share Purchase Price in satisfaction thereof prior to
such grant.

     (c) Upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction Event where at least
one-half of the value (as determined in good faith by the General Partner) of
the consideration received by the stockholders of the General Partner in
connection with such

                                       10

<PAGE>

Major Transaction Event is in the form of securities in a successor entity, the
General Partner shall cause effective provision to be made so that, upon
exercise of the Redemption Rights and payment of the Purchase Price at any time
following such Major Transaction Event by means of the Share Purchase Price,
Unitholders shall have the right to acquire, in lieu of the Shares which
otherwise would have been issued to Contributing Partner, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property (and the provisions contained
in Section 4.1 shall apply anew to the extent that such securities are of a
class of securities of the General Partner or its successor that are registered
under the Exchange Act) and interests as would be issued or payable with respect
to or in exchange for the number of Shares constituting the Share Purchase Price
as if such Redemption Rights had been exercised and the General Partner had
satisfied the Redemption Rights by delivery of the Share Purchase Price
immediately before such Major Transaction Event.

     (d) In the event of any other Major Transaction Event, each Unitholder
shall be entitled to exercise the Redemption Rights in full prior to the
consummation of such Major Transaction Event, and, with respect to any Shares
acquired upon exercise thereof, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the
other holders of Shares with respect to any distribution by the General Partner
(or the other party to such Major Transaction Event) in connection with such
Major Transaction Event. If not exercised within forty-five days after written
notice from the General Partner of such Major Transaction Event or such shorter
period between the date of such notice and the effective date of such Major
Transaction Event, the Redemption Rights shall terminate at the expiration of
such period, but the Redemption Rights shall be revived if such Major
Transaction Event is not consummated.

     (e) The Partnership shall give written notice of any Major Transaction
Event promptly after such Major Transaction is announced to the public.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to successive events that
may occur from time to time but only shall apply to a particular event if it
occurs prior to the exercise in full of the Redemption Rights or the liquidation
of the Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or otherwise limit
the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as
amended from time to time.

                                       11

<PAGE>

     (g) Whenever the Conversion Factor is adjusted as herein provided, the
General Partner shall compute the adjusted Conversion Factor in accordance with
this Section 6 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial
officer of the General Partner setting forth the adjusted Conversion Factor and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and
such certificate shall forthwith be filed at the offices of the General Partner
and mailed to the holders of the Redemption Rights within thirty days of any
such adjustment.

obligations under this Agreement with respect to such redeemed or purchased

     (e) No fractional Shares shall be issued hereunder. In lieu of fractional
Shares, the General Partner shall pay cash based on the Current Per Share Market
Price on the relevant Computation Date.

     3. Exercise of Redemption Rights.

     3.1 Time for Exercise of Redemption Rights. Contributing Partner may
exercise its Redemption Rights in whole or in part and at any time and from time
to time on or after the first anniversary of the date hereof but prior to the
Expiration Date; provided, however, that the Redemption Rights may not be
exercised at any one time by Contributing Partner with respect to less than
1,000 Units (or all the Units then owned by Contributing Partner if Contributing
Partner owns less than 1,000 Units) or in the event that such exercise of
Redemption Rights (or the assignment of Units or delivery of either the Cash
Purchase Price or the Share Purchase Price with respect thereto) violates the
terms of the Partnership Agreement or applicable law. Once given, a Notice shall
be irrevocable subject to the payment of the Purchase Price for the Units
specified therein in accordance with the terms hereof.

     3.2 Method of Exercise. The Redemption Rights shall be exercised by written
notice (the "Notice") to the Partnership in the form of Exhibit A specifying the
number of Units to be redeemed and the name or names (with address) in which any
Shares issuable upon such exercise shall be registered if different than the
Contributing Partner.

     3.3 Closing. The closing of the redemption or purchase and sale pursuant to
an exercise of the Redemption Rights shall occur within 30 days following the
giving of the Notice. Contributing Partner shall execute such documents as the
General

                                        6

<PAGE>

Partner may reasonably require in connection with the closing of such redemption
or purchase and sale.

     3.4 Payment of Cash or Issuance of Shares. At the closing of the redemption
or purchase and sale of Units pursuant to an exercise of Redemption Rights, the
Partnership shall deliver to Contributing Partner the Cash Purchase Price by
check or, in the event that the General Partner has assumed the obligations of
the Partnership with respect to such exercise of Redemption Rights, the General
Partner shall deliver to the Partnership, at the election of the General
Partner, which may be exercised in the General Partner's sole discretion, either
(a) the Cash Purchase Price by check or (b) certificates representing the Shares
and any other securities constituting the Share Purchase Price, together with
cash in lieu of the issuance of any fraction of a Share as provided in Section
2(e), or a combination thereof.

     4. Matters Relating to Shares.

     4.1 Registration.

     (a) The General Partner shall (i) prepare, file and use reasonable efforts
to cause to become effective on or before the ninetieth day following the first
anniversary of the date hereof a registration statement, which may be on Form S-
3, under the Securities Act relating to the Shares to be issued upon exercise of
the Redemption Rights assuming full satisfaction of the Redemption Rights by
delivery of Shares and (ii) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective and
to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act.

     (b) The General Partner shall pay all Registration Expenses incurred prior
to the sixth anniversary of the date hereof with respect to filing and keeping
effective the registration statement through such date, and the Unitholders
shall reimburse the General Partner for Registration Expenses (or a pro rata
portion of the Registration Expenses based on the number of Shares issuable to
such Unitholders upon full exercise of the Redemption Rights of such Unitholders
relative to the total number of Shares issuable pursuant to such registration
statement) which are incurred after the sixth anniversary of the date hereof in
respect of maintaining effective (but not the initial filing and causing to
become effective of) such

                                        7

<PAGE>

registration statement; provided, however, that Contributing Partner shall not
be required to reimburse any costs (i) of preparing any documents filed with the
SEC that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or (ii)
that become necessary because the General Partner is unable to use Form S-3 (or
any equivalent short form that relies on incorporation by reference) for the
reason that the General Partner has failed to comply on a timely basis with any
requirement of the Acts or Form S-3. The reimbursement of such expenses by the
Unitholders shall be paid upon demand.

     (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the General
Partner shall have no obligation to keep any registration statement filed
pursuant to this Section 4.1 effective after the Expiration Date or if the
status of the General Partner (or its successor) as an Exchange Act Reporting
Company is terminated or all of the Unitholders notify the General Partner in
writing that the General Partner no longer need keep such registration statement
effective.

     4.2 Reservation of Shares. At all times while the Redemption Rights are
outstanding, the General Partner shall reserve for issuance such number of
Shares as may be necessary to enable the General Partner to issue Shares in full
satisfaction of all Redemption Rights which are from time to time outstanding
(assuming no limitations as to the ownership of such Shares under the
Certificate of Incorporation which relate to compliance with the REIT
Requirements and that the General Partner elected to pay the Share Purchase
Price with respect to all such Redemption Rights).

     4.3 Fully Paid and Non-Assessable. All Shares which may be issued upon
exercise of the Redemption Rights shall be duly and validly issued and fully
paid and non-assessable.

     5. Transfer and Other Taxes. In the event that any state or local property
transfer or other tax is payable as the result of or in connection with any
exercise of the Redemption Rights by Contributing Partner, Contributor Partner
shall pay such tax, and no Shares shall be issued pursuant hereto until such
Contributor Partner has paid to the General Partner or the Partnership, as the
case may be, the amount of such tax or has provided evidence, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the General Partner or the Partnership, as the case may be, as
to the payment thereof.

                                        8

<PAGE>

     6. Anti-Dilution and Adjustment Provisions.

     (a) The Conversion Factor shall be adjusted 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. 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 such event.

     (b) If at any time the General Partner grants to its stockholders any right
to subscribe pro rata for additional securities of the General Partner, whether
Common Stock or other classifications, or for any other securities or interests
that Contributing Partner would have been entitled to subscribe for if,
immediately prior to such grant, Contributing Partner had exercised its
Redemption Rights and received the Share Purchase Price in payment thereof, in
lieu of any adjustment under any other subsection of this Section 6 or other
provision of this Agreement, then the General Partner also shall grant to
Contributing Partner the same subscription rights that Contributing Partner
would be entitled to if Contributing Partner had exercised its Redemption Rights
in full and received the Share Purchase Price in satisfaction thereof prior to
such grant.

     (c) Upon the occurrence of a Major Transaction Event where at least one-
half of the value (as determined in good faith by the General Partner) of the
consideration received by the stockholders of the General Partner in connection
with such Major Transaction Event is in the form of securities in a successor
entity, the General Partner shall cause effective provision to be made so that,
upon exercise of the Redemption Rights and payment of the Purchase Price at any
time following such Major Transaction Event by means of the Share Purchase
Price, Unitholders shall have the right to acquire, in lieu of

                                        9

<PAGE>

the Shares which otherwise would have been issued to Contributing Partner, the
kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (and the
provisions contained in Section 4.1 shall apply anew to the extent that such
securities are of a class of securities of the General Partner or its successor
that are registered under the Exchange Act) and interests as would be issued or
payable with respect to or in exchange for the number of Shares constituting the
Share Purchase Price as if such Redemption Rights had been exercised and the
General Partner had satisfied the Redemption Rights by delivery of the Share
Purchase Price immediately before such Major Transaction Event.

     (d) In the event of any other Major Transaction Event, each Unitholder
shall be entitled to exercise the Redemption Rights in full prior to the
consummation of such Major Transaction Event, and, with respect to any Shares
acquired upon exercise thereof, shall be entitled to all of the rights of the
other holders of Shares with respect to any distribution by the General Partner
(or the other party to such Major Transaction Event) in connection with such
Major Transaction Event. If not exercised within forty-five days after written
notice from the General Partner of such Major Transaction Event or such shorter
period between the date of such notice and the effective date of such Major
Transaction Event, the Redemption Rights shall terminate at the expiration of
such period, but the Redemption Rights shall be revived if such Major
Transaction Event is not consummated.

     (e) The Partnership shall give written notice of any Major Transaction
Event promptly after such Major Transaction is announced to the public.

     (f) The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply to successive events that
may occur from time to time but only shall apply to a particular event if it
occurs prior to the exercise in full of the Redemption Rights or the liquidation
of the Partnership. Nothing contained herein shall prevent or otherwise limit
the liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, as
amended from time to time.

     (g) Whenever the Conversion Factor is adjusted as herein provided, the
General Partner shall compute the adjusted Conversion Factor in accordance with
this Section 6 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the chief financial
officer of the General Partner setting forth the adjusted Conversion Factor and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such

                                       10

<PAGE>

adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at the
offices of the General Partner.
