2

Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the rules

Section 3. Compensation and Reimbursement of Expenses.

     In consideration of all of the services provided or caused to be provided by the Asset Manager hereunder, the Fund or its subsidiaries shall be obligated to pay to the Asset Manager an Asset
Management Fee and an Acquisition Fee as follows: 

     (a) On a quarterly basis, the Fund shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Asset Manager an Asset Management Fee, as provided in the

be prorated for any partial calendar quarter.  

     (b) The Fund shall remit or cause to be remitted to the Asset Manager an Acquisition Fee, as provided in the Partnership Agreement, in

of such Real Estate Asset) paid by the Fund (or any REIT Subsidiary or Non-REIT  Subsidiary) for such Real Estate Asset.  

     In addition, the Asset Manager shall be reimbursed, at cost (but without accrued or implied interest), on a timely basis and in any event as soon as practicable, for any costs, expenses or outlays it

its employees and any of its overhead incurred in connection with its duties hereunder. 

     
Section 4. Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage.

     The Asset Manager is authorized, for the purchase and sale of the Fund’s portfolio securities, to employ such securities dealers as will, in the judgment of the Asset Manager, effect the
securities transactions of the Fund in a manner deemed by the Asset Manager fair and reasonable to the Fund.  The primary considerations for the Asset Manager in selecting the manner of executing securities transactions for the Fund will be prompt
execution of orders, the size and breadth of the market for the security, the reliability, integrity and financial condition and execution capability of the firm, the size and difficulty in executing the order and the best net price. Consistent with this policy, the Asset Manager is authorized to direct the execution of the Fund’s portfolio
transactions to dealers and brokers furnishing statistical information or research deemed by the Asset Manager to be useful or valuable to the performance of its investment advisory and management functions for the Fund.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any “soft dollar” arrangements will comply with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. 

     
Section 5. Services for Others.

     (a) The Fund recognizes that the Asset Manager and its Affiliates now render and may continue to render investment advice and other services to
other investment accounts or Entities (which may or may not invest in Real Estate Assets) which may or may not have investment objectives and policies the same as or substantially similar to those of the Fund, and that the Asset Manager and its
Affiliates acquire, develop, own and manage Real Estate Assets for their own accounts and for the accounts of other investment accounts and Entities and will continue to do so in the future. It is understood that the Asset Manager and any of its
Affiliates may engage in any other business and furnish investment management and advisory services to others, including Persons which may have investment objectives and policies similar to those followed by the Asset Manager with respect to the
assets held from time to time by the Fund, and which may own securities of the same class, or which are the same type, as the assets held from time to time by the Fund, and that the Asset Manager and its Affiliates may receive fees and other
compensation for services of any kind or nature rendered by any of them, and neither the Fund, any of its subsidiaries nor any of their respective owners will have any interest therein or claim thereto. The Asset Manager will be free, in its sole
discretion, to make recommendations to others, or effect transactions on behalf of itself or for others, which may be the same as or different from those recommended or effected with respect to the Real Estate Assets purchased, held or sold from
time to time by the Fund and its subsidiaries.  

3

     (b) When a particular Real Estate Asset would be appropriate for the Fund, on the one hand, and the Asset Manager, its Affiliates or one or
more other investment accounts or Entities advised or managed by the Asset Manager or its Affiliates, on the other hand, the Asset Manager will determine which investment account or Entity (including the Fund) will purchase such Real Estate Asset
and, if applicable, how much of such Real Estate Asset such investment account or Entity will purchase, based upon the then applicable investment allocation policy of the Asset Manager.   The Asset Manager shall at all times keep the General Partner
apprised of the Asset Manager’s investment allocation policy, including advising the General Partner promptly of any changes or modifications to such policy. Further, the Asset Manager shall develop, adopt and maintain procedures and policies
with respect to transactions between the Fund (on the one hand) and Affiliates of the Asset Manager and General Partner (on the other hand), including, without limitation, transactions involving (i) Affiliates of the Asset Manager and General
Partner serving as a lender as to a Real Estate Asset purchased by the Fund, and (ii) the sale of Real Estate Assets, including, without limitation, equity and debt interests in Portfolio Companies. The Asset Manager, the General Partner and
the Fund acknowledge that the Asset Manager’s Form ADV (as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and as amended and in effect from time to time) may govern the Asset Manager’s procedures and policies with
respect to such affiliated transactions. The Asset Manager shall keep the General Partner apprised of any such procedures and policies that are so adopted and, following adoption, advise the General Partner promptly of any changes or modifications
to any such procedures and policies (whether in writing or otherwise and whether governed by the Form ADV or not). 

     
Section 6. Term; Termination.

     (a) General. This Agreement shall commence on the date first set forth above and shall continue in force for a
term of one year. Such term shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods unless written notice is provided to either the Asset Manager, on the one hand, or the Fund and the General Partner, on the other hand, of the desire so not to
renew, such notice having been provided not less than 60 days prior to the anniversary date for the next renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) either the Fund and the General Partner, on the one hand, or the Asset Manager on the other hand,
may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the counterparty not less than 60 days in advance of the specified termination date, and (ii) in the event Limited Partners holding a majority of the Voting Power vote or otherwise Consent to a
termination, this Agreement shall terminate 60 days after such vote or Consent, and, the General Partner shall give prompt written notice of such vote or Consent to the Asset Manager. 

     (b) Cause: The Asset Manager shall be removed, and this Agreement shall terminate immediately: 

          (i)  if the Asset Manager is wound up or dissolved or there is appointed over it or a substantial part of its assets a receiver, administrator,
administrative receiver, trustee or similar officer; or the Asset Manager (A) ceases to be able to, or admits in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become due and payable, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of, or enters into
any composition or arrangement with, its creditors generally; (B) applies for or consents (by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, liquidator or sequestrator
(or other similar official) of the Asset Manager or of any substantial part of its properties or assets, or authorizes such an application or consent, or proceedings seeking such appointment are commenced without such authorization, consent or
application against the Asset Manager and continue undismissed for 60 days or any such appointment is ordered by a court or regulatory body having jurisdiction; (C) authorizes or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or applies for or consents
(by admission of material allegations of a petition or otherwise) to the application of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, insolvency or dissolution, or authorizes such application or consent, or proceedings to such
end are instituted against the Asset Manager without such authorization, application or consent and remain undismissed for 60 days or result in adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency or the issuance of an order for such relief; or (D) permits or
suffers all or any substantial part of its properties or assets to be sequestered or attached by court order and the order (if promptly contested in good faith) remains undismissed for 60 days, 

          (ii) upon the occurrence of an act by the Asset Manager that constitutes fraud or criminal activity in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement or the Asset Manager being indicted for a criminal offense materially related to the Asset Manager’s primary business,

          (iii) upon any willful violation by the Asset Manager in any respect of any provision of this Agreement applicable to it, or 

4

     (iv) if the Asset Manager has committed a material breach of its obligations under this Agreement which is not cured within 30 days of such
breach, or is of the type of material breach which is incapable of being cured.  

     (c) This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the dissolution and completion of the winding up of the Fund as provided for in the
Partnership Agreement. 

     (d) Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the rights or obligations of the parties arising out of the performance of this
Agreement prior to such termination, including without limitation, the payment of fees and reimbursements to the Asset Manager accruing prior to such termination. 

     (e) Upon any termination of this Agreement, the Asset Manager shall cooperate with the Fund and the General Partner by transferring all
documents relating to the Fund in its possession to the Fund or the General Partner, or to a new asset manager selected by the Fund and the General Partner and indicated in writing to the Asset Manager. 

     
Section 7. Custody of Securities and Bank Accounts.

     (a) The
Fund will engage one or more independent, third-party financial institutions
acceptable to the Asset Manager (each a
“Custodian”), to hold any funds, portfolio securities or other investments
as may be required by Rule 204(4)-2 under the Advisers Act (“Custodial Assets”).
The Fund hereby represents that each such Custodian has agreed to act as  a custodian
for the Fund in accordance with the Asset Manager’s instructions. Except
as otherwise agreed, title to all Custodial Assets shall be held in the name
of the Fund or a subsidiary, provided that for convenience in buying, selling
and  exchanging Custodial Assets, title to such assets may be held in the name
of a Custodian, or its nominee. The Fund shall instruct each Custodian to (i)
periodically advise the Asset Manager as to the amount of cash or cash equivalents
available for  investment in the Fund’s account; (ii) carry out all investment
transactions as may be directed, in writing, by the Asset Manager; and (iii)
confirm all completed transactions, in writing, to the Asset Manager. The Asset
Manager shall have  authority to instruct each Custodian to: (A) pay cash for
Custodial Assets delivered the Custodian for the Fund’s account, (B) deliver
Custodial Assets against payment for such account, and (C) transfer Custodial
Assets (including cash) to such  brokerage accounts as the Asset Manager may
designate for collateral or margin purposes. The Asset Manager shall not have
the authority to cause the Fund to deliver Custodial
Assets, or pay cash to the Asset Manager other than payment of compensation or
reimbursements provided for in this Agreement. Each Custodian shall be a “qualified
custodian” as defined
by Rule 206(4)-2  under the Advisers Act. The Fund agrees to notify the Asset
Manager, in writing, of any material changes with respect to a Custodian, and
to provide the Asset Manager with reasonable prior notice of any intention to
appoint an  additional or successor Custodian. The Fund understands and agrees
that: (1) neither the Asset Manager nor any of its Affiliates will, at any time,
have custody of, or physical control over, or otherwise handle any physical or
other indicia of  ownership with respect to any Custodial Assets, and (2) under
no circumstances shall the Asset Manager be held responsible for or assume any
liability with respect to the Fund’s custody arrangements or the acts, omissions
or conduct of any  Custodian. The Fund agrees to instruct each Custodian to provide
the Asset Manager with copies of all periodic account statements that are provided
to the Fund with respect to each relevant account maintained by that Custodian
on behalf of the  Fund no less frequently than quarterly. Such periodic account
statements shall include, at minimum, the amounts of each security and all funds
in such account at the end of the applicable period and all transactions in such
account during that  period. Nothing in this Section 7 shall prohibit (x) the
Asset Manager from directly billing the Fund’s account(s) for compensation
or reimbursements due under this Agreement in accordance with the Advisers Act
and related Rule 206(4)-2 or  other applicable law or the Asset Manager or any
Affiliate from serving in a role with the Fund which would cause the Asset Manager
to be deemed to have “custody” of the Fund’s Custodial Assets
for purposes of Rule 206(4)-2.

     (b) The Asset Manager may establish and maintain one or more bank accounts in its own name or in the name of the Fund or any subsidiary
thereof, and may collect and deposit into any such account or accounts, and disburse from any such account or accounts, any money on behalf of the Fund or any subsidiary thereof. However, the Asset Manager shall not commingle any of the funds in
such account with those of the Asset Manager or of other investment accounts or Entities managed or advised by the Asset Manager.   Further, the Asset Manager shall, from time to time, render to the General Partner and the independent accountants of
the Fund a complete accounting of such collections and disbursements.  

5

     
Section 8. Information Furnished to the Asset Manager.

     The General Partner shall at all times keep the Asset Manager fully informed concerning the investment objectives, policies and guidelines and the capitalization policies of the Fund and the
intentions of the Fund concerning its future activities and investments.  The Fund shall furnish the Asset Manager with a copy of all financial statements, a copy of each report prepared by independent registered public accountants and such other
information with regard to the Fund’s affairs as the Asset Manager may from time to time reasonably request. 

     
Section 9. No Assignment.

          
Without the written consent of the Fund and the General Partner, the Asset Manager shall not assign (within the meaning of the Advisers Act) or delegate its responsibilities, rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, provided, however, that, subject to all requirements of applicable law, the Asset Manager may assign and delegate its responsibilities, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to another direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America (“TIAA”) that, at the time of such
proposed assignment and delegation, performs substantially similar functions for other TIAA accounts and investment vehicles (a “Permitted Assignment”). Any Permitted Assignment or
assignment consented to by the Fund and the General Partner in accordance with the terms hereof shall bind the assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Asset Manager is bound prior to such assignment and delegation. The responsibilities, rights
and obligations of the Fund and the General Partner under this Agreement may not be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of the Asset Manager.

     
Section 10. Representations.

     (a) Representations by the Asset Manager.   The Asset Manager represents, warrants and covenants to the Fund
and the General Partner that (i) it has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that when executed and delivered by the Asset Manager this Agreement will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Asset Manager
enforceable against the Asset Manager in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles, (ii) it is validly existing as a corporation in the State of
Delaware, and (iii) the personnel of the Asset Manager are individuals experienced in analyzing, supervising and administering real estate and real estate related assets of the nature contemplated by this Agreement.  

     (b) Representations by the Fund and General Partner. Each of the Fund and the General Partner represents and
warrants to the Asset Manager that it has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and that when executed and delivered by the Fund and the General Partner, this Agreement will constitute the valid and binding obligation of
each of the Fund and the General Partner enforceable against each such party in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles.  

     
Section 11. Limitation on Liability and Indemnity.

     The terms and conditions of Article 12 of the Partnership Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference. The Fund understands that certain provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to,
the limitations on liability and indemnification provisions set forth in Article 12 of the Partnership Agreement, may serve to limit the potential liability of the Asset Manager and has had the opportunity to consult with the Asset Manager as well
as the Fund’s other professional advisers or legal counsel as to the effect of these provisions. The Fund further understands that certain federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, the Advisers Act, may impose liability
or allow for legal remedies even where the Asset Manager has acted in good faith and that the rights under those laws may be non-waivable. Nothing in this Agreement shall, in any way, constitute a waiver or limitation by the Fund of any rights which
may not be so waived or limited in accordance with applicable law.

and restrictions applicable to the Members, to the extent permitted by law.  Pursuant to Section 18-101(7) of the Act, all Persons who become holders of Units shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.  The execution by a Person of this
Agreement and acceptance thereof by the Managers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the receipt of Units as a Member or as a successor or assign of an existing Member in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to
constitute a request that the records of the REIT reflect

8

such admission, and shall be deemed to be a sufficient act to comply with the requirements of Section 18-101(7) of the Act and to so cause that Person to become a Member as of the date of acceptance of its Capital Contribution by

their sole judgment and discretion are desirable, to preserve the status of the REIT as a real estate investment trust; provided, however, that if the Managers determine that it is no longer in the best interests of the REIT to continue to have the REIT qualify as a real estate investment trust, the Managers may revoke or otherwise terminate the REIT’s real estate
investment trust election pursuant to applicable U.S. federal income tax law and may elect to treat the REIT thereafter as a C corporation, partnership or other type of Entity as they determine in accordance with applicable tax law.

acceptance of a Capital Contribution from any Person, such Person shall become a party to this Agreement and a Member of the REIT and the obligations contained herein shall continue for so long as such Person is a Member. The Managers shall amend
Exhibit A to reflect the admission of additional Members and, if applicable, the increase in Capital Contributions from existing Members, and the Managers shall take any other appropriate
action in connection therewith. Each Member hereby consents to any and all admissions of such additional Members and the acceptance of any and all such additional contributions. The Capital Contribution of any such additional Members shall be
specified by the Managers at the time of admission of such additional Members. No Member shall be entitled to any interest or compensation by reason of its Capital Contributions or by reason of serving as a Member. 

ARTICLE 4 

DISTRIBUTIONS

     4.1 Cash Distributions. Net Cash Flow shall be distributed as determined by the Managers in their sole
discretion (provided that such determination may take into account the REIT’s ongoing expenses (including debt payments), anticipated investments or capital expenditures and reserves) to the holders of the REIT Units in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests, subject to any distributions required to be made to any holders of Preferred Units.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Managers shall make distributions of Net Cash Flow as shall be
necessary for the REIT to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code (so long as such qualification is, in the opinion of the Managers, in the best interests of the REIT). 

     4.2 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Managers shall take any action
that they determine to be necessary or appropriate to cause the REIT to comply with any withholding requirements established under any federal, state or local tax law, including, without limitation, withholding amounts from any distribution to be
made to any Member. Any amounts required to be withheld under any such law by reason of the status of, or any action or failure to act (other than an

10

action or failure to act pursuant to this Agreement) by, any Member shall be withheld from distributions otherwise to be made to such Member, and, to the extent such amounts exceed such distributions, such Member shall pay the
amount of such excess to the REIT in the manner and at the time or times required by the Managers. For purposes of this Agreement, any amount withheld from a distribution to a Member and paid to a governmental body shall be treated as if distributed
to such Member.

provisions of the Act regarding repayment of sums wrongfully distributed to Members or its subscription document, be required to make any further contributions. 

     5.2 No Termination.  The death, retirement, resignation, expulsion, bankruptcy, dissolution or any other event

(a) Except as provided in Section

of the Units which would otherwise be Beneficially Owned by such Person in excess of the Ownership Limit; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Units. 

           (c) Except as provided in Sections 6.9 and 6.12, until the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in any Existing Holder Beneficially Owning Units in excess of the applicable Existing Holder Limit shall be void

Section 856(a) of the Code) by less than 100 Persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution) shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of Units which would be otherwise
beneficially owned (as provided in Section 856(a) of the Code) by the transferee; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Units. 

           (e) Until the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in the REIT being “closely held” within the
meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of the Units which would cause the REIT to be “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h)
of the Code; and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Units. 

13

           (f) Until the Restriction Termination Date, any Transfer that, if effective, would result in the REIT otherwise failing to qualify as a real
estate investment trust under the Code shall be void ab initio as to the Transfer of Units that would result in the REIT failing to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code;
and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Units. 

     6.3       Excess Shares.

           (a) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in
this Article 6, at
any time, until the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer
or other change in the capital structure of the REIT such that any Person would
Beneficially Own Units in excess of the applicable Ownership Limit or Existing
Holder Limit (as applicable), then, except as otherwise provided in Sections
6.9 and 6.12,
the Units Beneficially Owned  in excess of such Ownership Limit or Existing Holder
Limit (rounded up to the nearest whole Unit) shall constitute “Excess Shares” and
shall be treated as provided in this Article 6.
Such designation and treatment shall be effective as of the close of business
on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or change in
capital structure. 

           (b) If, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article 6, at any
time, until the Restriction Termination Date, there is a purported Transfer or other change in the capital structure of the REIT (as a result of a direct or indirect Transfer or otherwise) which, if effective, would cause the REIT to (i) be
beneficially owned (as provided in Section 856(a) of the Code) by less than 100 Persons, (ii) become “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or (iii) otherwise fail to qualify as real estate investment trust under
the Code, then the Units that are the subject of such Transfer or other event which would cause the REIT to fail such requirement shall constitute “Excess Shares” and shall be treated as provided in this Article 6.  Such designation and treatment shall be effective as of the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the purported Transfer or change in capital structure. 

           (c) If, at any time prior to the Restriction Termination Date, notwithstanding the other provisions contained in this Article 6, there is an event (a “Prohibited Owner Event”) which would result in the disqualification of the REIT as a real estate investment trust under the Code by virtue of actual, Beneficial or
constructive ownership of Units, then Units which result in such disqualification shall be automatically exchanged for an equal number of Excess Shares to the extent necessary to avoid such disqualification. Such exchange shall be effective as of
the close of business on the business day prior to the date of the Prohibited Owner Event.  In determining which Units are exchanged, Units owned directly or indirectly by any Person who caused the Prohibited Owner Event to occur shall be exchanged
before any Units not so held are exchanged. If similarly situated Persons exist, such exchange shall be pro rata. If the REIT is still so disqualified as a real estate investment trust under
the Code, Units owned directly or indirectly by Persons who did not cause the Prohibited Owner Event to occur

14

shall be chosen by random lot and exchanged for Excess Shares until the REIT is no longer so disqualified as a real estate investment trust under the Code. 

     6.4 Prevention of Transfer.  If the Managers or their designee or designees shall at any time determine in
good faith that a Transfer has taken place in violation of Section 6.2 or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to
any rules of attribution) or Beneficial Ownership of any Units in violation of Section 6.2, the Managers or their designee or designees shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse
to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer, including, without limitation, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the REIT or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers or attempted Transfers in violation of paragraph (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) of Section 6.2 shall automatically result in the designation and treatment described in Section 6.3, irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the
Managers. 

     6.5 Notice. Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire Units in violation of Section 6.2, or any Person who is a transferee such that Excess Shares result under Section 6.3, shall immediately give written notice or, in the
event of a proposed or attempted Transfer, shall give at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the REIT of such event and shall provide to the REIT such other information as the REIT may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of
such Transfer or attempted Transfer on the REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code. 

     6.6      Information for the REIT. Until the Restriction Termination Date: 

           (a) Every Beneficial Owner of more than 1⁄2 of 1% of the number or value of outstanding Units shall, within thirty (30) days after January 1 of each year, give written notice to the REIT stating the name and address of such Beneficial Owner, the number of Units Beneficially Owned, and a
description of how such Units are held. Each such Beneficial Owner shall provide to the REIT such additional information as the REIT may reasonably request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial Ownership on the REIT’s
status as a real estate investment trust under the Code. 

           (b) Each Person who is a Beneficial Owner of Units and each Person who is holding Units for a Beneficial Owner shall provide to the REIT in
writing such information with respect to direct, indirect and constructive ownership of Units as the Managers deem reasonably necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to a real estate investment trust, to determine the
REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code, to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance. 

     6.7 Other Action by Managers. Nothing contained in this Article 6 shall limit the authority of the Managers to take such other action as they deem necessary or

15

advisable to protect the REIT and the interests of its Members by preservation of the REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code. 

     6.8 Ambiguities. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this
Article 6, including, without limitation, any definition contained in Section 6.1, the Managers shall have the power to interpret
and determine the application of the provisions of this Article 6 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to any Manager. 

     6.9 Modification of Existing Holder Limits. The Existing Holder Limits may be modified as follows: 

           (a) Subject to the limitations provided in Section 6.11, the Managers may grant
options which result in Beneficial Ownership of Units by an Existing Holder pursuant to an option plan approved by the Managers. Any such grant shall increase the Existing Holder Limit for the affected Existing Holder to the maximum extent possible
under Section 6.11 to permit the Beneficial Ownership of the Units issuable upon the exercise of such option. 

           (b) The Managers shall reduce the Existing Holder Limit for any Existing Holder after any Transfer permitted in this Article 6 by such Existing Holder by the percentage of the outstanding Units so Transferred or after the lapse (without exercise) of an option described in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.9 by the percentage of the Units that the option, if exercised, would have represented, but in either case no Existing Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage which is less than the
Ownership Limit. 

     6.10 Increase or Decrease in Ownership Limit.  Subject to the limitations provided in Section 6.11, the Managers may from time to time increase or decrease the Ownership Limit; provided, however, that any decrease may only be made prospectively as to subsequent holders (other than a decrease as a result of a retroactive change in existing law that would require a decrease to retain the
REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code, in which case such decrease shall be effective immediately). 

     6.11 Limitations on Changes in Existing Holder and Ownership Limits. 

           (a)
Neither the Ownership Limit nor any Existing Holder Limit may be increased
(nor may any additional Existing Holder Limit be created) if, after giving effect
to such increase (or creation), five (5) Beneficial Owners of Units (including,
without limitation, all of the then Existing Holders) could Beneficially Own,
in the aggregate, more than 49.9% in number or value of the outstanding Units. 

           (b) Prior to the modification of any Existing Holder Limit or Ownership Limit pursuant to Sections
6.9 or 6.10, the Managers may require such

16

opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the REIT’s status as a real estate investment trust under the Code. 

             (c) No Existing Holder Limit shall be reduced to a percentage which is less than the Ownership Limit. 

     6.12 Waivers by Managers. The Managers, upon receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an
opinion of counsel or other evidence satisfactory to the Managers and upon at least fifteen (15) days written notice from a transferee prior to the proposed Transfer which, if consummated, would result in the intended transferee owning Units in
excess of the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit, as the case may be, and upon such other conditions as the Managers may direct, may waive the Ownership Limit or the Existing Holder Limit, as the case may be, with respect to such
transferee. 

     6.13 Severability. If any provision of this Article 6 or any application of any such provision is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction over the issue, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall be affected only to the
extent necessary to comply with the determination of such court. 

     6.14 Trust for Excess Shares.  Upon any purported Transfer that results in Excess Shares pursuant to
Section 6.3, such Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Excess Share Trustee, as trustee of the Excess Share Trust for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable
Beneficiary. Excess Shares so held in trust shall be issued and outstanding Units of the REIT.  The Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no rights in such Excess Shares except as provided in Section
6.17. 

     6.15 Distributions on Excess Shares. Any distributions (whether as dividends, distributions upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up or otherwise) on Excess Shares shall be paid to the Excess Share Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of
(a) the amount of any distribution made upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or (b) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Units, or if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Units, the Market Price of
the Units on the day of the event causing the Units to be held in trust. Any such dividend paid or distribution paid to the Purported Record Transferee in excess of the amount provided in the preceding sentence prior to the discovery by the REIT
that the Units with respect to which the dividend or distribution was made had been exchanged for Excess Shares shall be repaid by the Purported Record Transferee to the Excess Share Trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. 

     6.16 Voting of Excess Shares. The Excess Share Trustee shall be entitled to vote the Excess Shares for the
benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary on any matter.

17

Subject to Delaware law, any vote taken by a Purported Record Transferee prior to the discovery by the REIT that the Excess Shares were held in trust shall be rescinded ab initio.  The owner of the Excess Shares shall be deemed to have given an irrevocable proxy to the Excess Share Trustee to vote the Excess Shares for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. 

     6.17 Non-Transferability of Excess Shares. Excess Shares shall be transferable only as provided in this
Section 6.17. At the direction of the REIT, the Excess Share Trustee shall Transfer the Units held in the Excess Share Trust to a Person whose ownership of the Units will not violate the
Ownership Limit or Existing Holder Limit and for whom such Transfer would not be wholly or partially void pursuant to Section 6.2. Such transfer shall be made within sixty (60) days after
the later of (x) the date of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Shares and (y) the date the Managers determine in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess Shares has occurred, if the REIT does not receive a notice of such Transfer
pursuant to Section 6.5. If such a Transfer is made, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary shall terminate and proceeds of the sale shall be payable to the Purported Record Transferee
and to the Charitable Beneficiary.  The Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the Units or, if the Purported Record Transferee did not give value for the Units, the Market Price
of the Units on the day of the event causing the Units to be held in trust, and the price received by the Excess Share Trust from the sale or other disposition of the Units. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Purported Record
Transferee shall be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. Prior to any Transfer of any Excess Shares by the Excess Share Trustee, the REIT must have waived in writing its purchase rights under Section 6.18. It is expressly understood that the Purported Record Transferee may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.17 against the Charitable Beneficiary. 

     If any of the foregoing restrictions on transfer of Excess Shares is determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Purported Record Transferee may be
deemed, at the option of the REIT, to have acted as an agent of the REIT in acquiring such Excess Shares and to hold such Excess Shares on behalf of the REIT. 

     6.18 Call by the REIT on Excess Shares.  Excess Shares shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the
REIT, or its designee, at a price per Unit equal to the lesser of the price per Unit in the transaction that created such Excess Shares (or, in the case of a devise, gift or other transaction in which no value was given for such Excess Shares, the
Market Price at the time of such devise, gift or other transaction) and the Market Price of the Units to which such Excess Shares relates on the date the REIT, or its designee, accepts such offer (the “Redemption Price”). The REIT shall
have the right to accept such offer for a period of ninety (90) days after the later of (x) the date of the Transfer which resulted in such Excess Shares and (y) the date the Managers determine in good faith that a Transfer resulting in Excess
Shares has occurred, if the REIT does not

18

receive a notice of such Transfer pursuant to Section 6.5 but in no event later than a permitted Transfer pursuant to and in compliance with the terms of Section 6.17. Unless the Managers determine that it is in the interests of the REIT to make earlier payments of all of the amount determined as the Redemption Price per Unit in accordance with the preceding
sentence, the Redemption Price may be payable at the option of the Managers at any time up to but not later than one year after the date the REIT accepts the offer to purchase the Excess Shares. In no event shall the REIT have an obligation to pay
interest to the Purported Record Transferee. 

ARTICLE 7

7.1 Transfer of Interests in the REIT. 

     
     (a) A Member may only Transfer all or any of its Units (or any economic interest therein) subject to the conditions and limitations set forth
in Article 6 and this Article 7. Any Transfer by a Member of any Units (or any economic interest therein) that the Managers
determine, based upon the advice of counsel, would operate to disqualify the REIT as a real estate investment trust under the Code shall be null and void ab initio as provided in
Article 6.  In addition, any Transfer of any Units (or any economic interest therein) that would or may (i) violate, or require registration or qualification under, applicable federal, state
or foreign securities laws, or (ii) result in noncompliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (to the extent Regulation S is being relied upon) shall be null and void ab initio and
the purported transferee shall acquire no rights or interests in any such Units. 

     
     (b) Any substituted Member admitted to the REIT shall succeed to all rights and be subject to all the obligations of the transferring Member
with respect to the interest to which such Member was substituted. Any transferee of an interest in the REIT who is not admitted as a substituted Member shall have the right to receive distributions pursuant to Article
4, but shall have no other rights hereunder. 

     
     (c) The transferor and transferee of a Member’s interest shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the REIT and the Managers
for all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of the REIT and the Managers in connection with any Transfer. If, under applicable law, a Transfer of an interest in the REIT that does not
comply with this Section 7.1 is nevertheless legally effective, the transferor and transferee shall be jointly and severally liable to the REIT and each Manager for, and shall indemnify and
hold harmless the REIT and each Manager against, any losses, damages or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection with such Transfer. 

19

          (d) To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, each Member shall indemnify and hold harmless the REIT, each Manager and all other
Members who were or are parties, or are threatened to be made parties, to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of or arising from any actual or alleged
misrepresentation, misstatement of facts or omission to state facts made (or omitted to be made), noncompliance with any agreement or failure to perform any covenant by any such Member in connection with any Transfer of all or any portion of such
Member’s interest (or any economic interest therein) in the REIT, against any losses, damages or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by
it or them in connection with such action, suit or proceeding and for which it or they have not otherwise been reimbursed. 

ARTICLE 8 

MANAGERS

     8.1 Appointment of the Managers. The sole Member hereby delegates all its power and authority to the Managers
to manage the REIT and conduct its affairs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Managers shall have continuing exclusive authority over the management of the REIT and the conduct of the REIT’s affairs. The Fund shall
have the sole right to appoint, replace and remove the Managers and the sole right to appoint substitute Managers. The Fund shall also have the sole right to appoint, replace and remove one or more supplemental Managers with such management rights
as the Fund shall indicate. 

     As long as here are two Managers, any action required or permitted to be taken by such Managers shall require the unanimous consent of such Managers.  If at any time there shall have been appointed
three (3) or more Managers, any action required or permitted to be taken by such Managers under this Agreement shall be effective upon a majority vote of such Managers, except for the election provided in Section 9.1(a)(iv) and action taken under
Section 11.5, unless the Act shall so otherwise provided. 

     
8.2 Rights, Duties and Powers of the Managers. 

          (a) The Managers in their sole discretion shall have full, complete and exclusive right, power and authority to exercise all the powers of the
REIT set forth in Section 2.7 and Section 2.9 and to do all things necessary to effectuate the purpose of the REIT as set forth in
Section 2.7.  The Managers shall exercise on behalf of the REIT complete discretionary authority for the management and the conduct of the affairs of the REIT. With the exception of those
rights vested in the Fund, no Member shall have any right to participate in, or exercise control or management power over, the business and affairs of the REIT, it being understood that said limitation shall not affect any rights of a Member other
than its rights as a “member” (within the meaning of the Act). 

20

          (b) The Managers shall have the power and authority, on behalf of the REIT, to delegate to the Asset Manager or one or more other Persons its
rights and powers to manage and control the affairs of the REIT. Such delegation shall be pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement or other agreement and such delegation shall not cause the Managers to cease to be “managers” (within the
meaning of the Act).  The Managers may cause the REIT to pay such fees and reimbursements to the Asset Managers (or other Person) pursuant to the Asset Management Agreement (or otherwise) as the Managers shall deem appropriate. 

          (c) In dealing with the Managers acting for or on behalf of the REIT, no Person shall be required to inquire into, and Persons dealing with the
REIT are entitled to rely conclusively on, the right, power and authority of the Managers to bind the REIT. 

     
     (d) The Fund, the Managers and their Affiliates shall not be obligated to do or perform any act or thing in connection with the business of the
REIT not expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

     8.3 Limitation on Managers’ Authority.  The Managers, in their capacity as such, or in their capacity as
a direct or indirect manager or general partner of any subsidiary of the REIT that may hold title to any REIT Asset, shall not do, or cause the REIT or any such subsidiary to do, any act that would not be permitted under the Fund Agreement to be
done by the Fund General Partner if title to such REIT Asset were held directly by the Fund, and shall, in general, act and cause the REIT to act, in such capacity in the same manner as if title to such REIT Asset were held directly by the Fund.

     8.4 Other Activities.  Nothing herein contained shall prevent or prohibit the Fund, the Managers, the Fund
General Partner, the Asset Manager, TIAA, any of their respective Affiliates, or any of their respective trustees, officers, directors, members, partners, employees or shareholders from acquiring, developing, investing in, managing, leasing or
otherwise dealing in real property of any kind or nature for its own account or that of any of its or their Affiliates or any third parties or from entering into or engaging in any business venture of every kind or nature, either independently or
with others, or conducting any other activity or performing for a fee any service (including, without limitation, engaging in any business dealing with real property of any type or location, acting as a director, officer or employee of any
corporation, as a trustee of any trust, as a general partner of any partnership, as a member of any limited liability company or as an administrative official of any other Entity, or receiving compensation for services to, or participating in
profits derived from the investments of any such corporation, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other Entity, regardless of whether such activities are competitive with the REIT). Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Fund, the
Managers, the Fund General Partner, the Asset Manager, TIAA, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective trustees, officers, directors, members, partners, employees or shareholders from dealing, or otherwise engaging in business
with, Persons transacting business with the REIT or from providing services relating to

21

the purchase, sale, management, development or operation of real property and receiving compensation therefor, not involving any rebate or reciprocal arrangement which would have the effect of circumventing any restriction upon
dealing with Affiliates of the Fund General Partner pursuant to the Fund Agreement or otherwise. Neither the REIT nor any Member shall have any right by virtue of this Agreement or the relationship created hereby in or to such other ventures or
activities or to the income or proceeds derived therefrom, and the pursuit of such ventures or activities, even if competitive with the REIT, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Neither the Fund, the Managers, the Fund General Partner, the
Asset Manager, TIAA, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective trustees, officers, directors, members, partners, employees or shareholders shall be obligated to present any particular investment opportunity to the REIT, and the
fact that the Fund, the Managers, the Fund General Partner, the Asset Manager or any such other Persons may encounter opportunities to purchase, otherwise acquire, lease, sell or otherwise dispose of real or personal property and may take advantage
of such opportunities themselves or introduce such opportunities to other Persons in which it or they have or have not any interest, shall not subject the Manager, the Fund General Partner, the Asset Manager or any such other Persons to liability to
the REIT or any of the Members on account of the lost opportunity, even if any such activity is in competition with the REIT. 

     
8.5 Limitation on Liability.

     
     (a) Exculpation.  Neither the Fund, the Managers, the Fund General Partner, the Asset Manager, any of their
respective Affiliates or any of their respective trustees, officers, directors, members, partners or employees performing services on behalf of the REIT (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) shall be liable, responsible or accountable
to the REIT or any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnified Party pursuant to the authority granted by this Agreement or by law if the Fund, the Managers, Fund General Partner, Asset Manager or their Affiliates have
determined, in good faith, that the act or omission that caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the REIT and such loss or liability was not the result of misconduct or negligence. 

     
     (b) No Retroactive Repeal. Any repeal or modification of this Section 8.5 shall not adversely affect any right or protection of Indemnified Party existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

     
8.6 Indemnification.

     
     (a) Advancement of Expenses.  In the event that any Indemnified Party becomes involved in any threatened,
pending or completed action, proceeding, suit or claim (each, a “Legal Action”), whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that it, he or she
is or was the Fund, a Manager, the Fund General Partner, the Asset Manager or other Indemnified Party, or is or was authorized to act hereunder or in connection herewith, or otherwise failed to act in connection with the

22

business or affairs of the REIT or one of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, the REIT will, or will cause the appropriate subsidiary to, periodically advance or reimburse such Indemnified Party for its attorneys’ fees and
expenses and other related expenses (including the costs of any investigation and preparation) incurred in connection with such involvement, provided that (i) the Legal Action relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or
services on behalf of the REIT or any such subsidiary, (ii) the Legal Action is initiated by a third party who is not a limited partner of the Fund or, if the Legal Action is initiated by a limited partner of the Fund, a court of competent
jurisdiction approves such advancement or reimbursement, and (iii) such Indemnified Party undertakes to repay the advanced or reimbursed funds to the REIT or such subsidiary in a case in which such Indemnified Party is not entitled to
indemnification under Section 8.6(b).

          (b) The REIT shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability suffered or sustained by it, him
or her by reason of any act, omission or alleged act or omission arising out of its, his or her activities on behalf of the REIT or in furtherance of the interests of the REIT, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any Legal Action and including any payments made by the Fund, the Managers, the Fund General Partner or the Asset Manager to any of its officers,
directors, members or partners who are Affiliates pursuant to an indemnification agreement no broader than this Section 8.6(b); provided that the Fund, any Manager, the Fund General Partner,
Asset Manager or such Affiliate has determined, in good faith, that the act or omission which caused the loss or liability was in the best interests of the REIT and such loss or liability was not the result of misconduct or negligence by such
Indemnified Party.  The satisfaction of any indemnification and any saving harmless shall be from and limited to REIT Assets, and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof. 

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.6(b) above,
neither any Indemnified Party nor any Person acting as a broker-dealer with respect to the Units shall be indemnified from any losses, claims, costs, damages or liability incurred by them arising due to an alleged violation of federal or state
securities laws unless (i) there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged securities law violations as to the particular Indemnified Party, or (ii) such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits
by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the particular Indemnified Party, or (iii) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the particular Indemnified Party and finds that indemnification of the settlement and
related costs should be made. Prior to seeking a court approval for indemnification, the Fund General Partner shall undertake to cause the party seeking indemnification to apprise the court of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and any state securities regulatory authority in a jurisdiction in which the plaintiffs claim they were sold Units as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.

23

     
     (d) Successors.  The reimbursement or advancement and the indemnification obligations of the REIT under this
Section 8.6 shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives of the Fund, the Managers, the Fund General Partner, the Asset
Manager and any other Indemnified Party.  The foregoing provisions shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and any amendment to such provisions shall not reduce the REIT’s obligations under this Section
8.6 with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to the date of such amendment. 

     
     (e) Exclusivity.  The indemnification provided by this Section 8.6
shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Person may be entitled under any agreement or as a matter of law and shall continue as to an Indemnified Party who has ceased to have an
official capacity for acts or omissions during such official capacity or otherwise when acting at the request of the REIT or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors and administrators of
such Indemnified Party.

     
     (f) Insurance. The REIT shall not incur the cost of the portion of any insurance which insures any party
against any liability as to which such party is prohibited from being indemnified as set forth above, provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall preclude the REIT from purchasing and paying for such types of insurance, including extended
coverage liability and casualty, as would be customary for any Person owning comparable assets and engaged in a similar business, or from naming the Fund, any Manager, the Fund General Partner, the Asset Manager and any of their Affiliates as
additional insured parties thereunder, as long as such addition does not add to the premiums payable by the REIT. 

     
     (g) Consultation.  An Indemnified Party may consult with counsel, accountants and other experts reasonably
selected by or on behalf of the REIT or such Indemnified Party, and any opinion of any independent counsel, accountant or expert retained with reasonable care shall be full and complete protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by the Indemnified Party hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 

ARTICLE 9

DISSOLUTION AND TERMINATION

     
9.1 Events of Dissolution. 

     
     (a) In accordance with Section 18-801 of the Act, and the provisions therein permitting this Agreement to specify the events of the REIT’s
dissolution, the REIT shall be dissolved and the affairs of the REIT wound up upon the occurrence of any of the following events: 

24

               (i) “bankruptcy” (as defined in Section 18-304 of the Act) or insolvency or dissolution of the Fund, absent the decision of the
Member(s) owning a majority in interest of the REIT Units to continue the REIT within ninety (90) days following such event; 

               (ii) the dissolution of the Fund pursuant to the terms of the Fund Agreement without an election to continue the business of the Fund; and

               (iii) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act. 

               (iv) the election by the Managers, with the approval of the Fund, to dissolve the REIT. 

          Each Member hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to obtain a dissolution of the REIT in any way other than as specified above. 

     
     (b) Dissolution of the REIT shall be effective on the day on which the event occurs which gives rise to the dissolution, but the REIT shall not
terminate until the assets of the REIT shall have been distributed as provided herein and a certificate of cancellation has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. 

     
9.2 Application of Assets. 

           (a) Upon dissolution of the REIT, the business and affairs of the REIT shall be wound up as provided in this Section 9.2. The Managers collectively shall act as the “Liquidator;” provided, that if the REIT has been dissolved pursuant to Section
9.1(a)(i) without a decision to continue the REIT, the Liquidator shall be the same Person approved as the “Liquidator” under the Fund Agreement. The Liquidator shall wind up the
affairs of the REIT, shall dispose of such REIT Assets as it deems necessary or appropriate, shall set aside such reserves for the payment of any contingent claims or liabilities as the Liquidator deems appropriate, including, in the discretion of
the Liquidator, through the establishment of a liquidating trust, and shall pay and distribute the remaining assets of the REIT, including, without limitation, the proceeds of any such disposition, as follows: 

               (i) first, to creditors, including, without limitation, Members who are creditors, to the extent otherwise permitted by law, in satisfaction of
liabilities of the REIT (whether by payment or by establishment of reserves as determined by the Liquidator in its sole discretion), other than distributions to Members pursuant to Article
4, and 

               (ii) second, to the Members in accordance with Section 4.1.

25

           (b) The Liquidator shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to sell any REIT Assets, including, without limitation, Real Estate Assets,
and if so, whether at a public or private sale, for what price and on what terms. If the Liquidator determines to sell or otherwise dispose of any REIT Asset or any interest therein, the Liquidator shall not be required to do so promptly but shall
have full right and discretion to determine the time and manner of such sale or sales giving due regard to the activity and condition of the relevant market and general financial and economic conditions.  If the Liquidator determines not to sell or
otherwise dispose of any REIT Asset or any interest therein, the Liquidator shall not be required to distribute the same to the Members promptly but shall have full right and discretion to determine the time and manner of such distributions giving
due regard to the interests of the Members. 

           (c) Each Member shall look solely to the assets of the REIT for all distributions with respect to the REIT and shall have no recourse therefor
(upon dissolution or otherwise) against the Fund, the Managers, the Liquidator or any other Member (or any of their Affiliates). 

      9.3 Procedural and Other Matters. 

           (a) Upon dissolution of the REIT and until the filing of a certificate of cancellation, the Liquidator may, in the name of, and for and on
behalf of, the REIT, prosecute and defend suits, whether civil, criminal or administrative, settle and close the business of the REIT, dispose of and convey the property of the REIT, discharge or make reasonable provision for the liabilities of the
REIT, and distribute to the Members any remaining assets of the REIT, in accordance with this Article 9 and all without affecting the liability of the Fund, the Members or the Managers and
without imposing liability on the Liquidator or any liquidating trustee. 

           (b) The Certificate may be canceled upon the dissolution and the completion of winding up of the REIT, by any Person authorized to cause such
cancellation in connection with such dissolution and winding up. 

ARTICLE 10

      10.1 Appointment and Powers. 

           (a) Each Member hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Managers, and each of them, with full power of substitution, as his, her or its

be necessary or appropriate to carry out the provisions or purposes of this Agreement. 

26

           (b) The authority granted by this Section 10.1 is a special power of attorney
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable, and shall not be affected by the subsequent incapacity or disability of a Member, may be exercised by a signature for each Member or by a single signature of any such Person acting as attorney-in-fact for
all of Members, and shall survive the Transfer by a Member of the whole or any portion of his, her or its interest in the REIT.

fact that any instrument referred to above, executed by such Person acting as attorney-in-fact, is authorized, regular and binding, without further inquiry. 

ARTICLE 11

      11.2 Access to Information; Books and Records. A Member may, subject to such reasonable standards as may be
established from time to time by the Managers, obtain from the Managers, from time to time upon reasonable demand for any purpose reasonably related to such Member’s interest in the REIT in its capacity as a Member, such information (including,
without limitation, that specified in Section 18-305 of the Act) regarding the affairs of the REIT as is just and reasonable. The books and records of the REIT shall be maintained by the REIT at its principal place of business and shall be

27

available upon reasonable notice for inspection by the Members at reasonable hours during any business day. 

     11.3 Word Meanings. The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and
“hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to the subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.  The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine
and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. As used herein, the word “or” shall not be exclusive, and the terms “includes” and “including” and words of similar import shall be deemed to be
followed by the words “without limitation” to the extent such words do not already follow any such term.

11.5. 

     11.6 Waiver.  The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provisions contained herein shall be in
writing, signed by the waiving party, and shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or the waiver of the provision itself. 

     11.7 Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware, without regard to such state’s laws concerning conflicts of laws. In the event of a conflict between any provisions of this Agreement and any nonmandatory provisions of the Act, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and
take precedence. 

     11.8 Title to REIT Assets. All assets of the REIT shall be deemed to be owned by the REIT as an entity, and no
Member, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest therein. Each Member hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights that it may have to maintain an action for partition of any of the REIT Assets. Legal title to any or all REIT
Assets may be held in the name of the REIT, the Fund or one or more nominees or direct or indirect subsidiaries of any of them, as the Managers shall determine. The Fund hereby declares and warrants that any REIT Assets for which legal title is held
in the name of the Fund shall be held in trust by the Fund for the use and benefit of the REIT in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All assets of the REIT shall be recorded as owned by the REIT on the REIT’s books and records,

extent reasonably necessary to make the provision, as so changed, legal, valid, binding and enforceable. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, void, voidable, invalid, nonbinding or unenforceable in its entirety or partially or
as to any party, for any reason, and if such provision cannot be changed consistent with the intent of the parties hereto to make it fully legal, valid, binding and enforceable, then such provision shall be stricken from this Agreement, and the
remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired, but shall remain in full force and effect. 

     11.10 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement have been inserted for the convenience of reference
only, and neither such headings nor the placement of any term hereof under any particular heading shall in any way restrict or modify any of the terms or provisions hereof. 

     11.11 Further Assurances.  The parties hereto shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information
and do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things as may be required to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

deemed an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

     11.13 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including, without limitation, all exhibits and schedules hereto) and
any subscription agreement for Units constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, and supersedes all prior understandings or agreements, oral or written, among the parties.

may be brought and enforced, in the courts of the State of New York to the extent subject matter jurisdiction exists therefor or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the parties irrevocably submit to the
