SEVERANCE AND NONCOMPETE AGREEMENT  

        SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") made this 18 day of February, 2004, by and among Affordable Residential Communities Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company") and ARC Management Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ARC Management") and Peter Pak ("Executive"). 

        WHEREAS,
the Company, ARC Management and the Executive desire to enter into an agreement relating to the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company and ARC Management; 

        WHEREAS,
the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") recognizes that the Executive has and can continue to contribute significantly to the growth and success of the Company and
its subsidiaries (including ARC Management) and desires to provide security for the Executive in the event of termination of the Executive's employment under certain circumstances set forth herein and
to encourage the attention and dedication to the Company and its subsidiaries of the Executive as a member of management, in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders; and 

        WHEREAS,
the Company and ARC Management agree to the terms hereinafter set forth. 

        NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, the Company, ARC Management and Executive agree as follows: 

        1.    Effective Date.    

        This
Agreement shall become effective only upon the consummation of the initial underwritten public offering of shares of common stock of the Company (the "Initial Public Offering"). In
the event the Initial Public Offering does not occur, this Agreement shall be null and void and of no force or effect. The completion of the IPO will hereinafter be referred to as the "Commencement
Date." 

        2.    Term.    

        The
term of this Agreement begins on the Commencement Date and shall continue in effect through the third anniversary of such date;  provided, that on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and on
each successive anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall be
automatically extended for one (1) additional year unless, not later than the date which is sixty (60) days prior to such anniversary, the Company shall have delivered to the Executive
or the Executive shall have delivered to the Company a written notice that the term of the agreement will not be extended. 

        3.    Termination of Employment.    The Executive's employment with the Company may be terminated as follows: 

        (a)    Death.    The Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate upon his death. 

        (b)    Disability.    If, as a result of the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness, the Executive
shall have been absent from the full-time performance of his duties for the Company for the entire period of six (6) consecutive months, and within thirty (30) days after
written Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 4 hereof) is given shall not have returned to the performance of his duties for the Company on a full-time basis, the Company
may terminate the Executive's employment for "Disability." In the event of any dispute under this paragraph, the Executive agrees to submit to a physical or mental examination by a licensed physician
selected by the Company and to be bound by the Company's decision based on the results thereof. 

        (c)    Cause.    The Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, the Company shall have "Cause" to terminate the Executive's employment upon (i) the willful and continued failure by the Executive to substantially perform the Executive's duties
with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from the 

 

Executive's
incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination for Good Reason by the Executive pursuant to
Section 3(d) hereof) that has not been cured within thirty (30) days after a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the Executive by the Board, which demand
specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not substantially performed the Executive's duties, (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in conduct
which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, monetarily or otherwise or (iii) the Executive's conviction of, or entry by the Executive of a
guilty or no contest plea to, a felony under any laws of the U.S. or any state thereof. For purposes of clauses (i) and (ii) of this definition, no act, or failure to act, on the
Executive's part shall be deemed "willful" unless done, or omitted to be done, by the Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that the Executive's act, or failure to act, was in the
best interest of the Company. 

        (d)    Good Reason.    The Executive may terminate his employment for "Good Reason." "Good Reason" for termination by
the Executive of the Executive's employment shall mean a substantial reduction in base salary or in the aggregate opportunity of the Executive to participate in the Company's incentive compensation
and other employee welfare and benefit plans from that provided to the Executive as of the Commencement Date. 

        The
Executive's continued employment shall not constitute consent to, or a waiver of rights with respect to, any act or failure to act constituting Good Reason hereunder;  provided, however, that the Executive shall be required to provide a Notice of Termination within ninety
(90) days following the occurrence of any event alleged by the Executive to constitute Good Reason for the termination of his employment with the Company. The Executive's right to terminate the
Executive's employment for Good Reason shall not be affected by the Executive's incapacity due to physical or mental illness. 

        (e)    Without Cause by the Company; Without Good Reason by the Executive.    The Company may terminate the
Executive's employment with the Company at any time without Cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Executive. The Executive may terminate the Executive's employment with the
Company voluntarily for any reason or no reason at any time by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company. 

        (f)    Change in Control.    A "Change in Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if an event set forth in any one
of the following paragraphs shall have occurred: 

        (i)    any
Person is or becomes the Beneficial Owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time (the
"Exchange Act")), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company (not including in the securities beneficially owned by such Person any securities acquired directly from the Company or any of
its Affiliates) representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; provided,  however, that the following
shall not constitute an "acquisition" by any Person for purposes of this Section 3(f)(i): an acquisition of the
Company's securities by the Company which causes the Company's voting
securities beneficially owned by a Person to represent 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities; provided,  further, however, that if a Person shall become the beneficial owner of 50% or more of the combined
voting power of the Company's then outstanding securities by reason of share acquisitions by the Company as described above and shall, after such share acquisitions by the Company, become the
beneficial owner of any additional voting securities of the Company, then such acquisition shall constitute a Change in Control; or 

        (ii)   the
following individuals cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving on the Board: individuals who, on the date hereof,
constitute the 

2

 

Board
and any new director (other than a director whose initial assumption of office is in connection with an actual or threatened election contest, including but not limited to a consent
solicitation, relating to the election of directors of the Company) whose appointment or election by the Board or nomination for election by the Company's stockholders was approved or recommended by a
vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then still in office who either were directors on the date hereof or whose appointment, election or nomination for
election was previously so approved or recommended; or; 

        (iii)  there
is consummated a merger or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with any other corporation, other than a merger or
consolidation immediately following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto constitute at least a majority of the Board, the entity surviving such merger or
consolidation or, if the Company or the entity surviving such merger is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof; or 

        (iv)  the
stockholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or disposition by
the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, other than (A) a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets to an entity, at least
60% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of which are owned by stockholders of the Company following the completion of such transaction in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of the Company immediately prior to such sale or (B) other than a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company's assets immediately following which
the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the entity to which such assets are sold or disposed or, if such entity is
a subsidiary, or the ultimate parent thereof. 

        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, a "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions
immediately following which the holders of the common stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate
ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions. For purposes of this Section 3(f),
"Person" shall have the meaning given in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) thereof, except
that such term shall not include (i) the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company or any of
its Affiliates, (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (iv) a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders
of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company. 

        4.    Termination Procedure.    

        (a)    Notice of Termination.    Any termination of the Executive's employment by the Company or by the Executive
(other than termination pursuant to Section 3(a) hereof) shall be communicated by written Notice of Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 8(c). For purposes of
this Agreement, a "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall, if applicable, set forth in reasonable
detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment under the provision so indicated. Further, a Notice of Termination for Cause is required to
include a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the 

3

 

Board
which was called and held for the purpose of considering such termination (after reasonable notice to the Executive and an opportunity for the Executive, together with the Executive's counsel,
to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, the Executive was engaged in the conduct set forth in clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of Cause
herein, and specifying the particulars thereof in detail. 

        (b)    Date of Termination.    "Date of Termination" shall mean (i) if the Executive's employment is terminated
by his death, the date of his death; (ii) if the Executive's employment is terminated for Disability pursuant to Section 3(b), thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of
Notice of Termination (provided that the Executive shall not have returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis during such thirty (30) day period); (iii) if
the Executive terminates his employment for any Good Reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days following the date on which such
Notice of Termination is delivered) set forth in such Notice of Termination; and (iv) if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for any reason or by the Executive without Good
Reason, the date specified in the Notice of Termination, which shall not be earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the Notice of Termination. 

        5.    Compensation upon Termination or During Disability.    The Executive hereby agrees that no severance
compensation of any kind, nature or amount shall be payable to the Executive except as expressly set forth in this Section 5, and except for such payments, the Executive hereby irrevocably
waives any claim for severance compensation. 

        (a)    Disability; Death.    Following the termination of the Executive's employment due to Disability or death, the
Company shall: 

        (i)    pay
to the Executive any accrued but unused vacation pay; 

        (ii)   pay
to the Executive the Executive's then current base salary for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination, paid in installments at such times
as Executive would normally receive payroll checks as though employed by the Company through the severance payment period; and 

        (iii)  provide
for the full vesting of any equity incentive awards then held by the Executive to the extent unvested as of the Date of Termination. 

        (b)    Termination of Employment Prior to a Change in Control.    

        If,
prior to a Change in Control, the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated (x) by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or (y) by the Executive
for any reason the Company shall: 

        (i)    continue
to pay and otherwise provide to the Executive, during any notice period (not to exceed thirty (30) days), all compensation, base salary and previously
accrued but unpaid bonuses (if any) and shall continue to allow the Executive to participate in any welfare benefit plans in accordance with the terms of such plans; 

        (ii)   pay
to the Executive any accrued but unused vacation pay; and 

        (iii)  pay
to the Executive the Executive's then current base salary for a period of one (1) year following the Date of Termination, paid in installments at such times
as Executive would normally receive payroll checks as though employed by the Company through the severance payment period. 

4

 

        (c)    Termination of Employment by the Company on or following a Change in Control.    If the Executive's employment
is terminated on or following a Change in Control (x) by the Company other than for Cause or Disability or (y) by the Executive for Good Reason, the Company shall: 

        (i)    continue
to pay and otherwise provide to the Executive, during any notice period (not to exceed thirty (30) days), all compensation, base salary and previously
accrued but unpaid bonuses (if any) and shall continue to allow the Executive to participate in any welfare benefit plans in accordance with the terms of such plans; 

        (ii)   pay
to the Executive any accrued but unused vacation pay; 

        (iii)  pay
to the Executive an amount equal to the sum of (x) the Executive's then current base salary and (y) the average annual cash bonus earned by the
Executive pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan (or any successor or substitute bonus plan) during the three (3) fiscal years immediately prior to the fiscal year in which the Date of
Termination occurs (or, if three (3) fiscal years have not elapsed from the Commencement Date through the Date of Termination, average annual cash bonus so earned by the Executive for the
number of full fiscal years elapsed from the Commencement Date through the Date of Termination; or, if no full fiscal years have elapsed during such period, the Executive's target annual bonus for the
year in which the Date of Termination occurs), such amount to be paid in installments at such times as Executive would normally receive payroll checks as though employed by the Company through the
severance payment period; 

        (iv)  pay
to the Executive a pro rata portion to the Date of Termination of the value of the Executive's bonus under the Company's Management Incentive Plan (or any successor
or substitute bonus plan) for the fiscal year in which the Date of Termination occurs, calculated by multiplying the award that the Executive would have earned on the last day of such fiscal year,
assuming achievement at target level of all performance goals established with respect to such bonus, by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the commencement of the
fiscal year in which occurs the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is 365; and 

        (v)   for
a period of two (2) years following the Date of Termination, provide the Executive with an opportunity to elect continued coverage under the Company's group
health plans in accordance with Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, and the Company shall bear the cost of such coverage;  provided, however, that, in the case of Disability, benefits otherwise due to the Executive pursuant to
this Section 5(c)(v) shall be reduced to the extent benefits of the same type are received by or made available to the Executive by a subsequent employer during the two (2) year
period following the Date of Termination. 

        (d)    Tax Gross-Up.    If any of the payments or benefits received or to be received by the Executive
(including any payment or benefits received in connection with a Change in Control or the Executive's termination of employment whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other plan,
arrangement or agreement (all such payments and benefits, excluding the Gross-Up Payment, being hereinafter referred to as the "Total Payments")) will be subject to any excise tax imposed
under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Excise Tax"), the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the "Gross Up Payment") such that the net
amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of any Excise Tax on the Total Payments and any federal, state and local income and employment taxes and Excise Tax upon the Gross-Up
Payment, and after taking into account the phase out of itemized deductions and personal exemptions attributable to the Gross-Up Payment, shall be equal to the Total Payments. 

5

 

        (e)    Termination of Employment at any time by the Company for Cause or, Following a Change in Control, by the Executive other than for Good
Reason.    If the Executive's employment with the Company is terminated at any time by the Company for Cause or, following a Change in Control, by the Executive other
than for Good Reason, then the Company shall pay the Executive his then-current base salary through the Date of Termination, and the Company shall have no additional obligations to the
Executive under this Agreement except as set forth in subsection (f) of this Section 5. 

        (f)    Compensation Plans.    Following any termination of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Company
shall pay the Executive all accrued but unpaid amounts, if any, to which the Executive is entitled as of the Date of Termination under any compensation plan or benefit plan or program of the Company,
at the time such payments are due, in any event, in accordance with the terms of such plan or program. 

        (g)    Termination of Company's Obligation to Pay.    The Company's obligation to provide the Executive the payments
and benefits described in this Section 5 shall cease as of the date the Executive breaches any of the provisions of Section 7 hereof. 

        (h)    Return of Company Property.    Executive agrees that following the termination of his employment with the
Company for any reason, he shall return all property of the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates and any divisions thereof he may have managed which is then in or thereafter comes into his
possession, including, but not limited to, documents, contracts, agreements, plans, photographs, books, notes, electronically stored data and all copies of the foregoing as well as any automobile or
other materials or equipment supplied by the Company to Executive, if any. 

        6.    Mitigation.    The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for the
Executive by seeking other employment or otherwise. However, the amount of any payment or
benefit provided for the Executive hereunder shall be reduced by any compensation earned by the Executive as the result of employment by another employer, by retirement benefits and offset against any
amount claimed to be owed by the Executive to the Company or otherwise. 

        7.    Confidential Information; Noncompetition; etc.    

        (a)    Non-Competition.    

        The
Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Executive's duties to the Company qualify the Executive as "executive and management personnel" under Colorado Revised Statute
Section 8-2-113(2)(d). The Executive further acknowledges that, during the course of the Executive's employment with the Company, the Executive will gain knowledge of
"trade secrets"—as such term is used under Colorado Revised Statute Section 8-2-113(2)(b)—of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates.
Accordingly, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that the restrictive covenants are valid under Colorado Revised Statute Section 8-2-113, and are temporally and
geographically reasonable. 

        In
that regard, while the Executive remains employed by the Company and for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of the Executive's employment with the Company
for any reason, provided that the Company has paid to the Executive any and all severance amounts, if any, due to Executive under Section 5 hereof, the Executive shall not engage in Competition
(as hereinafter defined) with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. For purposes of this Agreement, "Competition" by the Executive shall mean the Executive's engaging in, or otherwise
directly or indirectly being employed by or acting as a consultant to, or being a director, officer, employee, principal, agent, stockholder, member, owner or partner of, or permitting his name to be
used in connection with the activities of any other business or organization where any aspect of the business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is conducted, or planned to be conducted, 

6

 

as
of the date of this Agreement or as of the date of termination of the Executive's employment, anywhere within the United States, which business activity is the same as or competitive with the
Company or any of its subsidiaries as the same may be conducted from time to time. 

        Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, direct or indirect "beneficial ownership" by the Executive, either individually or as a member of a "group," as such terms are
used in Rule 13d of the General Rules and Regulations under the Exchange Act, as amended, of not more than five percent (5%) of the voting stock of any publicly held corporation shall not alone
constitute a violation of this Section 7(a). 

        (b)    Non-Solicitation.    For a period of six (6) months prior to and twelve (12) months
following the termination of Executive's employment for any reason prior to a Change in Control, provided that the Company has paid to the Executive any and all severance amounts, if any, due under
Section 5 hereof, Executive agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, for his benefit or for the benefit of any other person, firm or entity, solicit the employment or services of, or
hire or engage, any person who was known to be employed or engaged by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates as of the date of Executive's termination of employment with the Company or who was
known to be employed or engaged by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates during the six (6) month period immediately preceding the Executive's termination of employment with the
Company. 

        (c)    Confidentiality.    Executive acknowledges that information pertaining to the prior or current business of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or contemplated business of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and its customers (including without limitation information relating to the Company's
subsidiaries, affiliates and predecessors and their respective customers and information relating to entities with which the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates has communicated with respect to
a possible acquisition or material investment) constitutes valuable and confidential assets of the Company, and Executive acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of such information would
be detrimental to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limitation of the foregoing, Executive agrees that the following types of information are confidential: 

        (i)    information
pertaining to any customer of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including information relating to the prior, current or future research or
development activities of any customer, or relating to other business activities of any customer; 

        (ii)   information,
conclusions and developments resulting from work performed, and all methods and procedures relating to work performed, or to be performed, for the Company
or its subsidiaries or affiliates or any customer; 

        (iii)  information,
conclusions and developments resulting from, and all methods and procedures relating to prior, current or contemplated projects and products of the
Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates; 

        (iv)  information,
conclusions and developments, resulting from work performed, or to be performed, pertaining to any entity with which the Company or its subsidiaries or
affiliates has communicated during the Executive's employment with the Company concerning a possible acquisition of, or material investment in, such entity; and 

        (v)   information
which the Executive has a reasonable basis to know was accepted by the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates from any third party under an obligation of
confidentiality. 

        The
Executive shall, while the Executive remains employed by the Company and thereafter, hold and preserve all confidential information of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates
and 

7

 

of
its customers in trust and confidence for the Company and for its customers, and shall not, without the express written approval of an officer of the Company, disclose any such confidential
information to any unauthorized person or use or copy any such confidential information for other than the Company's business, either during, or after termination of, employment with the Company. The
Executive shall not disclose to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or induce the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates to use, any confidential information belonging to others, without
authorization from such other parties. Specifically excluded from the above confidentiality provisions is any information which becomes available to the public other than through the unauthorized
disclosure by the Executive. 

        (d)    Non-Disparagement.    While the Executive remains employed by the Company and for a period of one
(1) year following the termination of the Executive's employment for any reason, the Executive will not intentionally make, or cause to be made, any statement, observation or opinion
disparaging the business or reputation of the Company or the Company's officers, directors or employees. Nothing contained in this Section 7(d) shall preclude the Executive from providing
truthful testimony in response to a valid subpoena, court order, regulatory request or other legal process. 

        (e)    Injunctive Relief.    The Executive agrees that any breach or threatened breach of subsections (a), (b),
(c) or (d) of this Section 7 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates for which the Company and its subsidiaries and
affiliates would have no adequate remedy at law. Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any reasonable threat of breach, the Company shall be entitled to seek an immediate
injunction and restraining order to prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by the Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with the
Executive. The terms of this paragraph shall not prevent the Company from pursuing any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach hereof, including, but not limited to, remedies
available under this Agreement and the recovery of damages. The parties hereto further agree that the provisions of the covenant not to compete are reasonable. Should a court or arbitrator determine,
however, that any provision of the covenant not to compete is unreasonable, either in period of time, geographical area, or otherwise, the parties hereto agree that the covenant shall be interpreted
and enforced to the maximum extent which such court or arbitrator deems reasonable. 

        8.    Successors; Notice.    

        (a)    Company's Successors.    The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company and/or ARC Management to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same
manner and to the same extent that the Company and/or ARC Management would be required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. Failure of the Company to obtain such assumption and
agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to compensation from the Company in the same amount and on the same
terms as he would be entitled to hereunder if the Company had terminated his employment other than for Cause, except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any such
succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination. As used in this Agreement, "Company" shall mean the Company as herein before defined and any successor to its business and/or
assets (or, if applicable, the business and/or assets of ARC Management) as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 8 or which otherwise becomes bound
by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law. 

8

 

        (b)    Executive's Successors.    This Agreement and all rights of the Executive hereunder shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees. If the Executive should die while any
amounts would still be payable to him hereunder if he had continued to live, all such amounts unless otherwise provided herein shall be paid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement to the
Executive's devisee, legatee, or other designee or, if there be no such designee, to the Executive's estate. The services to be performed by the Executive hereunder are specific to the Executive and
may not be assigned by the Executive. 

        (c)    Notice.    For the purposes of this Agreement, notices, demands and all other communications provided for in
this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when delivered or (unless otherwise specified) mailed by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

        9.    Miscellaneous.    No provisions of this Agreement may be modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver,
modification or discharge is agreed to in writing signed by the Executive and such officer of the Company as may be specifically designated by its Board. No waiver by any party hereto at any time of
any breach by any party hereto of, or compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or
conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. No agreements or representations, oral or otherwise, express or implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof have been made by any
party hereto which are not set forth expressly in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding on all successors to the Company. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this

FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES LP

 

THIS
FIRST AMENDED AND RESTATED AGREEMENT OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP OF AFFORDABLE
RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES LP, dated as of February 11, 2004 is entered into
by and among Affordable Residential Communities Inc. (formerly known as ARC IV
REIT, Inc.), a Maryland corporation (the “General Partner”) and the
limited partners listed on Exhibit A hereto (each a “Limited Partner”).

 

WHEREAS,
Affordable Residential Communities 
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Initial Limited
Partner”) and the General Partner formed a general partnership (the “General
Partnership”) under the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act pursuant
to an Agreement of Partnership of Affordable Residential Communities, IV, dated
as of September 30, 1998;

 

WHEREAS,
the Initial Limited Partner and the General Partner amended and restated the
Agreement of Partnership of Affordable Residential Communities, IV on
August 9, 2000;

 

WHEREAS,
in connection with the completion of the transactions contemplated by the
Reorganization Agreement (as defined herein), the Initial Limited Partner and
the General Partner converted the General Partnership into a limited
partnership organized under the Act (as defined herein) by filing a certificate
of conversion and a certificate of limited partnership with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 17-217 of the
Act on May 2, 2002;

 

WHEREAS,
the General Partner proposes to effect a public offering of its common stock
(the “IPO”) and to contribute the net proceeds thereof to the Partnership in
exchange for Partnership Common Units (as defined herein); and

 

WHEREAS,
the General Partner deems it necessary and appropriate in connection with the
IPO to amend and restate this Agreement as set forth herein;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

DEFINED TERMS

 

The
following definitions shall be for all purposes, unless otherwise clearly
indicated to the contrary, applied to the terms used in this Agreement.

 

“Act”
means the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (6 Del. C.
§ 17-101 et  seq.), as it may be amended from time to time, and
any successor to such statute.

 

“Actions”
has the meaning set forth in Section 7.7 hereof.

 

“Additional
Funds” has the meaning set forth in Section 4.3.A hereof.

 

“Additional
Limited Partner” means a Person who is admitted to the Partnership as a
Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.2 and Section 12.2 hereof and
who is shown as such on the books and records of the Partnership.

 

 

“Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit
balance, if any, in such Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of the
relevant Partnership Year, after giving effect to the following adjustments:

 

(i)  decrease
such deficit by any amounts that such Partner is obligated to restore pursuant
to this Agreement or by operation of law upon liquidation of such Partner’s
Partnership Interest or is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the
penultimate sentence of each of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5); and

 

(ii) 
increase such deficit by the items described in Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6).

 

The
foregoing definition of “Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” is intended to
comply with the provisions of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and
shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

“Adjustment
Factor” means 1.0; provided, however, that in the event that:

 

(i)  the
General Partner (a) declares or pays a dividend on its outstanding REIT Shares
in REIT Shares or makes a distribution to all holders of its outstanding REIT Shares
in REIT Shares, (b) splits or subdivides its outstanding REIT Shares or (c)
effects a reverse stock split or otherwise combines its outstanding REIT Shares
into a smaller number of REIT Shares, the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted
by multiplying the Adjustment Factor previously in effect by a fraction, (i)
the numerator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and
outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split,
subdivision, reverse split or combination (assuming for such purposes that such
dividend, distribution, split, subdivision, reverse split or combination has
occurred as of such time) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the actual
number of REIT Shares (determined without the above assumption) issued and
outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, split,
subdivision, reverse split or combination;

 

(ii)  the
General Partner distributes any rights, options or warrants to all holders of
its REIT Shares to subscribe for or to purchase or to otherwise acquire REIT
Shares (or other securities or rights convertible into, exchangeable for or
exercisable for REIT Shares) at a price per share less than the Value of a REIT
Share on the record date for such distribution (each a “Distributed Right”),
then the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted by multiplying the Adjustment
Factor previously in effect by a fraction (a) the numerator of which shall be
the number of REIT Shares issued and outstanding on the record date plus the
maximum number of REIT Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights and (b)
the denominator of which shall be the number of REIT Shares issued and
outstanding on the record date plus a fraction (1) the numerator of which is
the maximum number of REIT Shares purchasable under such Distributed Rights
times the minimum purchase price per REIT Share under such Distributed Rights
and (2) the denominator of which is the Value of a REIT Share as of the record
date; provided, however, that, if any such Distributed Rights
expire or become no longer exercisable, then the Adjustment Factor shall be
adjusted, effective retroactive to the date of distribution of the Distributed
Rights, to reflect a reduced maximum number of REIT Shares or any change in the
minimum purchase price for the purposes of the above fraction; and

 

(iii)  the
General Partner shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of
its REIT Shares evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities,
but excluding any dividend or distribution referred to in subsection (i)
above), which evidences of

 

2

 

indebtedness
or assets relate to assets not received by the General Partner pursuant to a
pro rata distribution by the Partnership, then the Adjustment Factor shall be
adjusted to equal the amount determined by multiplying the Adjustment Factor in
effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be such Value of a REIT Share on the
date fixed for such determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be
the Value of a REIT Share on the dates fixed for such determination less the
then fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, whose
determination shall be conclusive) of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness or assets so distributed applicable to one REIT Share.

 

Any
adjustments to the Adjustment Factor shall become effective immediately after
the effective date of such event, retroactive to the record date, if any, for
such event, provided, however, that any Limited Partner may
waive, by written notice to the General Partner, the effect of any adjustment
to the Adjustment Factor applicable to the Partnership Common Units held by
such Limited Partner, and, thereafter, such adjustment will not be effective as
to such Partnership Common Units.  For
illustrative purposes, examples of adjustments to the Adjustment Factor are set
forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, or any other provision to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement, no change to the Adjustment Factor shall be made as a result of the
0.519-for-1 reverse stock split of the REIT Shares effected by the General Partner
on January 23, 2004, in connection with the IPO, it being understood that
in lieu thereof the Partnership has effected a 0.519-for-1 reverse split of its
Partnership Common Units, effective as of January 23, 2004, such that each
Partnership Common Unit issued and outstanding as of January 23, 2004
thereafter shall constitute 0.519 of a Partnership Common Unit, and each
Limited Partner shall thereafter own and be the holder of a number of
Partnership Common Units equal to the product of (x) the number of Partnership
Common Units then owned by such Limited Partner by (y) 0.519, provided, however
, that no Limited Partner shall retain any right or interest in or to any
fraction of a whole Partnership Common Unit resulting from such reverse split,
and in lieu thereof, the Partnership shall pay to such Limited Partner in cash
an amount equal to the product of (a) such fraction and (b) the public offering
price per share of the REIT Shares in the IPO, as reflected on the cover of the
final prospectus with respect to the IPO. 
The General Partner has amended Exhibit A hereto to reflect the
number of Partnership Common Units held by each Partner after the reverse
split.

 

“Affiliate”
means, with respect to any Person, any Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under common control with such Person.  For the purposes of this definition, “control”
when used with respect to any Person means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by
contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlling” and “controlled” have
meanings correlative to the foregoing.

 

“Agreement”
means this First Amendment and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of
Affordable Residential Communities  LP,
as it may be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time.

 

“Applicable
Percentage” has the meaning set forth in Section 8.6.B hereof.

 

“Appraisal”
means, with respect to any assets, the written opinion of an independent third
party experienced in the valuation of similar assets, selected by the General
Partner in good faith.  Such opinion may
be in the form of an opinion by such independent third party that the value for
such property or asset as set by the General Partner is fair, from a financial
point of view, to the Partnership.

 

“Assignee”
means a Person to whom one or more Partnership Common Units have been
Transferred in a manner permitted under this Agreement, but who has not become
a Substituted Limited Partner, and who has the rights set forth in
Section 11.5 hereof.

 

“Available
Cash” means, with respect to any period for which such calculation is being
made,

each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (b) the right of each such
class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions;
(c) the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon
dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; (d) the voting rights, if any,
of each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (e) the conversion,
redemption or exchange rights applicable to each such class or series of
Partnership Interests; and (f) that any Partnership Common Units may be issued
as Paired Common Units.  Upon the
issuance of any additional Partnership Interest, the General Partner shall
amend Exhibit A as appropriate to reflect such issuance.

 

20

 

B.            Issuances to the
General Partner.  No additional
Partnership Units shall be issued to the General Partner unless (i) the
additional Partnership Units are issued to all Partners in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests with respect to the class of Partnership Units
so issued, (ii) (a) the additional Partnership Units are (x) Partnership Common
Units issued in connection with an issuance of REIT Shares, or (y) Partnership
Units (other than Partnership Common Units) issued in connection with an issuance
of Preferred Shares, New Securities or other interests in the General Partner
(other than REIT Shares), which Preferred Shares, New Securities or other
interests have designations, preferences and other rights, terms and provisions
that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and other
rights, terms and provisions of the additional Partnership Units issued to the
General Partner, and (b) the General Partner contributes or otherwise causes to
be transferred to the Partnership the cash proceeds or other consideration
received in connection with the issuance of such REIT Shares, Preferred Shares,
New Securities or other interests in the General Partner, (iii) the additional
Partnership Units are issued upon the conversion, redemption or exchange of
Debt, Partnership Units or other securities issued by the Partnership, or (iv)
the additional Partnership Units are issued pursuant to Section 4.6 or Section
4.7.   In the event that the Partnership
issues additional Partnership Units pursuant to this Section 4.2B, the
General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (including but not
limited to the revisions described in Section 6.2.B and Section 8.6)
as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional
Partnership Units.

 

C.            No Preemptive
Rights.  No Person, including,
without limitation, any Partner or Assignee, shall have any preemptive,
preferential, participation or similar right or rights to subscribe for or
acquire any Partnership Interest.

 

Section 4.3             Additional
Funds and Capital Contributions.

 

A.            General.  The General Partner may, at any time and
from time to time, determine that the Partnership requires additional funds (“Additional
Funds”) for the acquisition or development of additional Properties, for
the redemption of Partnership Units or for such other purposes as the General
Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  Additional Funds may be obtained by the
Partnership, at the election of the General Partner, in any manner provided in,
and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 4.3 without the approval of
any Limited Partners.

 

B.            Additional
Capital Contributions.  The General
Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by
accepting Capital Contributions from any Partners or other Persons.  In connection with any such Capital
Contribution (of cash or property), the General Partner is hereby authorized to
cause the Partnership from time to time to issue additional Partnership Units
(as set forth in Section 4.2 above) in consideration therefor and the
Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be
adjusted to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units.

 

C.            Loans by Third
Parties.  The General Partner, on behalf
of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the Partnership
to incur Debt to any Person upon such terms as the General Partner determines
appropriate, including making such Debt convertible, redeemable or exchangeable
for Partnership Units; provided, however, that the Partnership
shall not incur any such Debt if (i) a breach, violation or default of
such Debt would be deemed to occur by virtue of the Transfer by any Limited
Partner of any Partnership Interest, or (ii) such Debt is recourse to any
Partner (unless the Partner otherwise agrees).

 

D.            General Partner
Loans.  The General Partner, on
behalf of the Partnership, may obtain any Additional Funds by causing the
Partnership to incur Debt with the General Partner (each, a “General Partner
Loan”) if (i) such Debt is, to the extent permitted by law, on
substantially the same terms and conditions (including interest rate, repayment
schedule, and conversion, redemption, repurchase and exchange rights) as
Funding Debt incurred by the General Partner, the net proceeds of which are
loaned to the Partnership to provide such Additional Funds, or (ii) such
Debt is on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Partnership than would
be available to the Partnership from any third party; provided, however,
that the Partnership shall not incur any such Debt if (a) a breach,
violation or default of

 

21

 

such
Debt would be deemed to occur by virtue of the Transfer by any Limited Partner
of any Partnership Interest, or (b) such Debt is recourse to any Partner
(unless the Partner otherwise agrees).

 

E.             Issuance of
Securities by the General Partner. 
The General Partner shall not issue any additional REIT Shares,
Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or New Securities unless the General Partner
contributes the cash proceeds or other consideration received from the issuance
of such additional REIT Shares, Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or New
Securities, as the case may be, and from the exercise of the rights contained
in any such additional New Securities, to the Partnership in exchange for (x)
in the case of an issuance of REIT Shares, Partnership Common Units, or (y) in
the case of an issuance of Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or New Securities,
Partnership Units with designations, preferences and other rights, terms and
provisions that are substantially the same as the designations, preferences and
other rights, terms and provisions of such Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or
New Securities; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, the General Partner may issue REIT Shares, Preferred Shares, Junior
Shares or New Securities (a) pursuant to Section 4.4 or Section 8.6.B hereof,
(b) pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of REIT
Shares, Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or New Securities to all of the holders
of REIT Shares, Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or New Securities, as the case
may be, (c) upon a conversion, redemption or exchange of Preferred Shares, (d)
upon a conversion of Junior Shares into REIT Shares, (e) upon a conversion,
redemption, exchange or exercise of New Securities, (f) pursuant to share
grants or awards made pursuant to any equity incentive plan of the General
Partner (including the 2003 equity incentive plan), or (g) in connection with
an acquisition of a property or other asset to be owned, directly or
indirectly, by the General Partner if the General Partner determines that such
acquisition is in the best interests of the Partnership.  In the event of any issuance of additional
REIT Shares, Preferred Shares, Junior Shares or New Securities by the General
Partner, and the contribution to the Partnership, by the General Partner, of
the cash proceeds or other consideration received from such issuance, the
Partnership shall pay the General Partner’s expenses associated with such
issuance, including any underwriting discounts or commissions (it being
understood that payment of some or all of such expenses may be made by the
General Partner on behalf of the Partnership out of the gross proceeds of such
issuance prior to the contribution of such proceeds by the General Partner to
the Partnership).

 

Section 4.4             Stock
Option Plan.

 

A.            Options Granted
to Company Employees and Independent Directors.  If at any time or from time to time, in connection with a Stock
Option Plan, a stock option granted to a Company Employee or an Outside
Director is duly exercised:

 

(1)           the
General Partner shall, as soon as practicable after such exercise, make a
Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the exercise
price paid to the General Partner by such exercising party in connection with
the exercise of such stock option.

 

(2)           Notwithstanding
the amount of the Capital Contribution actually made pursuant to Section
4.4.A(1) hereof, the General Partner shall be deemed to have contributed to the
Partnership as a Capital Contribution, in consideration of an additional
Limited Partner Interest (expressed in and as additional Partnership Common
Units), an amount equal to the Value of a REIT Share as of the date of exercise
multiplied  by the number of REIT Shares then being issued in
connection with the exercise of such stock option.

 

(3)           An
equitable Percentage Interest adjustment shall be made in which the General
Partner shall be treated as having made a cash contribution equal to the amount
described in Section 4.4.A(2) hereof.

 

B.            Special Valuation
Rule.  For purposes of this Section
4.4, in determining the Value of a REIT Share, only the trading date immediately
preceding the exercise of the relevant stock option under the Stock Option Plan
shall be considered.

 

22

 

C.            Future Stock
Incentive Plans.  Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed or applied to preclude or restrain the General
Partner from adopting, modifying or terminating stock incentive plans,
including any Stock Option Plan, for the benefit of employees, directors or
other business associates of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their
Affiliates.  The Limited Partners
acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any such plan is adopted,
modified or terminated by the General Partner amendments to this Section 4.4
may become necessary or advisable and that any approval or consent of the
Limited Partners required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to
effect any such amendments requested by the General Partner shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

Section 4.5             No
Interest; No Return.  No Partner
shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution or on such Partner’s
Capital Account.  Except as provided
herein or by law, no Partner shall have any right to demand or receive the
return of its Capital Contribution from the Partnership.

 

Section 4.6             Conversion
or Redemption of Preferred Shares.

 

A.            Conversion of
Preferred Shares.  If, at any time,
any Preferred Shares are converted into REIT Shares, in whole or in part, then
a number of Partnership Preferred Units equal to the number of Preferred Shares
so converted shall automatically be converted into a number of Partnership
Common Units equal to (i) the number of REIT Shares issued upon such conversion
divided  by (ii) the Adjustment Factor then in effect, and the
Percentage Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be
adjusted to reflect such conversion.

 

B.            Redemption of
Preferred Shares.  If, at any time,
any Preferred Shares are redeemed (whether by exercise of a put or call,
automatically or by means of another arrangement) by the General Partner for
cash, the Partnership shall, immediately prior to such redemption of Preferred
Shares, redeem an equal number of Partnership Preferred Units held by the
General Partner, upon the same terms and for the same price per Partnership
Preferred Unit, as such Preferred Shares are redeemed.

 

Section 4.7             Conversion
or Redemption of Junior Shares.

 

A.            Conversion of
Junior Shares.  If, at any time, any
of the Junior Shares are converted into REIT Shares, in whole or in part, then
a number of Partnership Common Units equal to (i) the number of REIT Shares
issued upon such conversion divided  by (ii) the Adjustment Factor
then in effect shall be issued to the General Partner, and the Percentage
Interests of the General Partner and the Limited Partners shall be adjusted to
reflect such conversion.

 

B.            Redemption of
Junior Shares. If, at any time, any Junior Shares are redeemed (whether by
exercise of a put or call, automatically or by means of another arrangement) by
the General Partner for cash, the Partnership shall, immediately prior to such
redemption of Junior Shares, redeem an equal number of Partnership Junior Units
held by the General Partner, upon the same terms and for the same price per
Partnership Junior Unit, as such Junior Shares are redeemed.

 

Section 4.8             Other
Contribution Provisions. In the event that any Partner is admitted to the
Partnership and is given a Capital Account in exchange for services rendered to
the Partnership, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner in its sole
and absolute discretion, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership
and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such partner in
cash and such Partner had contributed the cash to the capital of the
Partnership.  In addition, with the
consent of the General Partner, one or more Limited Partners may enter into
contribution agreements with the Partnership which have the effect of providing
a guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership.

 

Section 4.9             Not
Publicly Traded. The General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall
use its best efforts not to take any action which would result in the
Partnership being a “publicly traded partnership” under and as such term is
defined in Section 7704(b) of the Code.

ARTICLE V

DISTRIBUTIONS

 

Section 5.1             Requirement
and Characterization of Distributions. 
Subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, the General
Partner shall cause the Partnership to distribute quarterly all, or such
portion as the General Partner may in its sole and absolute discretion
determine, of Available Cash generated by the Partnership during such quarter
to the Holders of Partnership Units on such Partnership Record Date with
respect to such quarter: (i) first, with respect to any Partnership Interests
that are entitled to any preference in distribution, in accordance with the
rights of such class(es) of Partnership Interests (and, within such class(es), pro rata in proportion to the respective
Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date), and (ii) second, with
respect to any Partnership Interests that are not entitled to any preference in
distribution, in accordance with the rights of such class of Partnership
Interests (and, within such class, pro rata
in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record
Date).  Distributions payable with
respect to any Partnership Units that were not outstanding during the entire
quarterly period in respect of which any distribution is made shall be prorated
based on the portion of the period that such units were outstanding.  The General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion may distribute to the Unitholders Available Cash on a more frequent
basis and provide for an appropriate Partnership Record Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the General Partner shall make such reasonable efforts, as determined
by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with the General
Partner’s qualification as a REIT, to cause the Partnership to distribute
sufficient amounts to enable the General Partner to pay stockholder dividends
that will (a) satisfy the requirements for its qualification as a REIT under
the Code and Regulations (the “REIT Requirements”) and (b) except to the
extent otherwise determined by the General Partner, avoid any federal income or
excise tax liability of the General Partner.

 

Section 5.2             Distributions
In-Kind.  No right is given to any
Unitholder to demand and receive property other than cash as provided in this
Agreement.  The General Partner may
determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in-kind
of Partnership assets to the Unitholders, and such assets shall be distributed
in such a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and
allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 10 hereof.

 

Section 5.3             Amounts
Withheld.  All amounts withheld
pursuant to the Code or any provisions of any state or local tax law and
Section 10.4 hereof with respect to any allocation, payment or distribution to
any Unitholder shall be treated as amounts paid or distributed to such
Unitholder pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof for all purposes under this
Agreement.

 

Section 5.4             Distributions
Upon Liquidation.  Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Article 5, net proceeds from a Terminating Capital
Transaction, and any other cash received or reductions in reserves made after
commencement of the liquidation of the Partnership, shall be distributed to the
Unitholders in accordance with Section 13.2 hereof.

 

Section 5.5             Distributions
to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Units.  In the event that the Partnership issues
additional Partnership Units pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 hereof,
subject to Section 7.3.D, the General Partner is hereby authorized to make such
revisions to this Article 5 as it determines are necessary or desirable to
reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Units, including, without
limitation, making preferential distributions to certain classes of Partnership
Units.

 

Section 5.6             Restricted
Distributions.  Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Partnership
nor the General Partner, on behalf of the Partnership, shall make a distribution
to any Unitholder on account of its Partnership Interest or interest in
Partnership Units if such distribution would violate Section 17-607 of the Act
or other applicable law.

 

24

 

ARTICLE VI

ALLOCATIONS

 

Section 6.1             Timing
and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss.  Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership
shall be determined and allocated with respect to each Partnership Year of the
Partnership as of the end of each such year. 
Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, and subject to Section
11.6.C hereof, an allocation to a Unitholder of a share of Net Income or Net
Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of
income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into account in computing Net
Income or Net Loss.

 

Section 6.2             General
Allocations.

 

A.            In General.
Subject to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, except as otherwise
provided in this Article 6 and subject to Section 11.6.C hereof, Net Income and
Net Loss shall be allocated to each of the Holders of Partnership Units holding
the same class of Partnership Units in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests in such class at the end of each Partnership Year.

 

B.            Allocations to Reflect
Issuance of Additional Partnership Units. 
In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Units
pursuant to the provisions of Article 4 hereof, the General Partner is hereby
authorized to make such revisions to this Section 6.2 as it determines are
necessary or desirable to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional
Partnership Units, including, without limitation, making preferential
allocations to certain classes of Partnership Units.

 

Section 6.3             Additional
Allocation Provisions. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6:

 

A.            Special
Allocations Regarding Partnership Preferred Units.  If any Partnership Preferred Units are
redeemed pursuant to Section 4.6.B hereof (treating a full liquidation of the
General Partner Interest for purposes of this Section 6.3.A as including a
redemption of any then outstanding Partnership Preferred Units pursuant to
Section 4.6.B hereof), for the Partnership Year that includes such redemption
(and, if necessary, for subsequent Partnership Years) (a) gross income and gain
shall be allocated to the General Partner to the extent that the amounts paid
or payable with respect to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or
treated as redeemed) exceed the aggregate Capital Contributions (net of
liabilities assumed or taken subject to by the Partnership) per Partnership
Preferred Unit allocable to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or
treated as redeemed) and (b) deductions and losses shall be allocated to the
General Partner to the extent that the aggregate Capital Contributions (net of
liabilities assumed or taken subject to by the Partnership) per Partnership
Preferred Unit allocable to the Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or
treated as redeemed) exceed the amount paid or payable with respect to the
Partnership Preferred Units so redeemed (or treated as redeemed).

 

B.            Regulatory
Allocations.

 

(i)            Minimum
Gain Chargeback.  Except as
otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 6.2 hereof, or any other provision of this Article 6, if
there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any Partnership
Year, each Holder of Partnership Units shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years)
in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership
Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g).  Allocations pursuant to the previous
sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be
allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. 
The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This Section 6.3.B(i) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain
chargeback” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be
interpreted consistently therewith.

 

25

 

(ii)           Partner
Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Except as
otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) or in Section 6.3.B(i)
hereof, if there is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a
Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any Partnership Year, each Holder of
Partnership Units who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to
such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income
and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal
to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable
to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations
Section 1.704-2(i)(4).  Allocations
pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective
amounts required to be allocated to each General Partner, Limited Partner and
other Holder pursuant thereto.  The
items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2).  This
Section 6.3.B(ii) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner
nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-2(i) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

(iii)          Nonrecourse
Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions.  Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be
specially allocated to the Holders of Partnership Units in accordance with
their Partnership Units.  Any Partner
Nonrecourse Deductions for any Partnership Year shall be specially allocated to
the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner
Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable,
in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

 

(iv)          Qualified
Income Offset.  If any Holder of
Partnership Units unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or
distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or
(6), items of Partnership income and gain shall be allocated, in accordance
with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to such Holder in an amount and
manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible,
provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.B(iv) shall be made if
and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account
Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been
tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.B(iv) were not in the Agreement.  It is intended that this Section 6.3.B(iv)
qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently
therewith.

 

(v)           Gross
Income Allocation.  In the event
that any Holder of Partnership Units has a deficit Capital Account at the end
of any Partnership Year that is in excess of the sum of (1) the amount (if any)
that such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership upon complete
liquidation of such Holder’s Partnership Interest (including, the Holder’s
interest in outstanding Partnership Preferred Units and other Partnership
Units) and (2) the amount that such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore
pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and
1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess to eliminate such
deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this
Section 6.3.B(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would
have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other
allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this
Section 6.3.B(v) and Section 6.3.B(iv) hereof were not in the Agreement.

 

(vi)          Limitation
on Allocation of Net Loss.  To the
extent that any allocation of Net Loss would cause or increase an Adjusted
Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder of Partnership Units, such allocation
of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Holders of Partnership Units

 

26

 

in accordance with their respective Partnership Units, subject to the
limitations of this Section 6.3.B(vi).

 

(vii)         Section
754 Adjustment.  To the extent that
an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to
Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4),
to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a
distribution to a Holder of Partnership Units in complete liquidation of its
interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital
Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the
basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis), and such
gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with
their Partnership Common Units in the event that Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holders to whom such distribution
was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

 

(viii)        Curative
Allocations.  The allocations set
forth in Sections 6.3.B(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) hereof (the
“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory
requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and
1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof, the Regulatory
Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income,
gain, loss and deduction among the Holders of Partnership Units so that to the
extent possible without violating the requirements giving rise to the
Regulatory Allocations, the net amount of such allocations of other items and
the Regulatory Allocations to each Holder of a Partnership Unit shall be equal
to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the
Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

C.            Special
Allocations Upon Liquidation. 
Notwithstanding any provision in this Article VI to the contrary, in the
event that the Partnership disposes of all or substantially all of its assets
in a transaction that will lead to a liquidation of the Partnership pursuant to
Article 13 hereof, then any Net Income or Net Loss realized in connection with
such transaction and thereafter (and, if necessary, constituent items of
income, gain, loss and deduction) shall be specially allocated among the
Partners as required so as to cause liquidating distributions pursuant to
Section 13.2.A(4) hereof to be made in the same amounts and proportions as
would have resulted had such distributions instead been made pursuant to
Article 5 hereof.

 

D.            Allocation of
Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities.  The
Partnership shall allocate “nonrecourse liabilities” (within the meaning of
Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)) of the Partnership that are secured by
multiple Properties under any reasonable method chosen by the General Partner
in accordance with Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3)(b).  The Partnership shall allocate “excess
nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership under any method approved under
Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) as chosen by the General Partner.  For purposes of determining a Holder’s
proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership
within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s interest
in Partnership profits shall be equal to such Holder’s share of Partnership
Units.

 

Section 6.4             Tax
Allocations.

 

A.            In General.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section
6.4, for income tax purposes under the Code and the Regulations each
Partnership item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax
Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders of Partnership Common Units in
the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or
deduction is allocated pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof.

 

B.            Allocations
Respecting Section 704(c) Revaluations. 
Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A hereof, Tax Items with respect to Property
that is contributed to the Partnership with a Gross Asset Value that varies
from its basis in the hands of the contributing Partner immediately preceding
the date of contribution shall be allocated among the Holders of Partnership
Common Units for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations promulgated under
Code

 

27

 

Section
704(c) so as to take into account such variation.  The Partnership shall account for such variation under any method
approved under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations as chosen by
the General Partner, including, without limitation, the “remedial allocation
method” as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).  In the event that the Gross Asset Value of
any partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subsection (b) of the definition
of “Gross Asset Value” (provided in Article 1 hereof), subsequent allocations
of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if
any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the
same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the applicable Regulations.

 

ARTICLE VII

MANAGEMENT
AND OPERATIONS OF BUSINESS

 

Section 7.1             Management.

 

A.            Except as otherwise
expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business

Partnership.  The General Partner may
not be removed by the Partners with or without cause, except with the consent
of the General Partner.  In addition to
the powers now or hereafter granted to a general partner of a limited
partnership under applicable law or that are granted to the General Partner
under any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner, subject to
the other provisions hereof including Section 7.3, shall have full power and

making of any expenditures, the lending or borrowing of money (including,
without limitation, making prepayments on loans and borrowing money or selling

desires to maintain or restore its status as a REIT) to avoid the payment of
any federal income tax (including, for this purpose, any excise tax pursuant to
Code Section 4981) and to make distributions to its stockholders sufficient to
permit the General Partner to maintain or restore REIT status or otherwise to
satisfy the REIT Requirements), the assumption or guarantee of, or other
contracting for, indebtedness and other liabilities, the issuance of evidences
of indebtedness (including the securing of same by deed to secure debt,
mortgage, deed of trust or other lien or encumbrance on the Partnership’s

at any time held by the Partnership) or the merger, consolidation,

entity;

 

(4)           the
mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or hypothecation of any assets of the

contributions of property to, any Subsidiary and any other Person in which it has
an equity investment from time to time); provided, however, that,

undertaking of any action in connection with the Partnership’s direct or
indirect investment in any Subsidiary or any other Person (including, without
limitation, the contribution or loan of funds by the Partnership to such

(15)         the
exercise of any of the powers of the General Partner enumerated in this
Agreement on behalf of or in connection with any Subsidiary of the Partnership
or any other Person in which the Partnership has a direct or indirect interest,

of the General Partner for the accomplishment of any of the powers of the
General Partner enumerated in this Agreement;

 

(18)         the

Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, in connection with Capital

(19)         the
selection and dismissal of Company Employees (including, without limitation,
employees having titles or offices such as president, vice president, secretary

to any such Company Employee the authority to conduct the business of the Partnership
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and

election to dissolve the Partnership pursuant to Section 13.1.C hereof.

 

B.            Each of the Limited
Partners agrees that, except as provided in Section 7.3 hereof, the General
Partner is authorized to execute, deliver and perform the above-mentioned
agreements and transactions on behalf of the Partnership without any further
act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation.  The execution, delivery or performance by
the General Partner or the Partnership of any agreement authorized or permitted
under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by the General Partner of
any duty that the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the Limited
Partners or any other Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or
implied by law or equity.

 

C.            At all times from
and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to
establish and maintain working capital and other reserves in such amounts as
the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate and
reasonable from time to time.

 

D.            In exercising its
authority under this Agreement, the General Partner may, but shall be under no
obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner (including
the General Partner) of any action

 

30

 

taken
by it.  The General Partner and the
Partnership shall not have liability to a Limited Partner under any
circumstances as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited
Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant
to its authority under this Agreement.

 

Section 7.2             Certificate
of Limited Partnership.  To the
extent that such action is determined by the General Partner to be reasonable
and necessary or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and
restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the
Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited
partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Delaware and
each other state, the District of Columbia or any other jurisdiction, in which
the Partnership may elect to do business or own property.  Except as otherwise required under the Act,
the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver
or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited
Partner.  The General Partner shall use
all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or
documents as may be reasonable and necessary or appropriate for the formation,
continuation, qualification and operation of a limited partnership (or a partnership
in which the limited partners have limited liability to the extent provided by
applicable law) in the State of Delaware and any other state, or the District
of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do
business or own property.

 

Section 7.3             Restrictions
on General Partner’s Authority.

 

A.            The General Partner
may not take any action in contravention of this Agreement, including, without
limitation:

 

(1)           taking
any action that would make it impossible to carry on the ordinary business of
the Partnership, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement;

Property, or assigning any rights in specific Property, for other than a
Partnership purpose except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, including,
without limitation, Section 7.10;

 

(3)           admitting
a Person as a Partner, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement;

 

(4)           performing
any act that would subject a Limited Partner to liability as a general partner
in any jurisdiction or any other liability except as provided Section 10.4
hereof or under the Act; or

 

(5)           entering
into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or
restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting, the ability of (a)
the General Partner, or the Partnership from satisfying its obligations under
Section 8.6 hereof in full or (b) a Limited Partner from exercising its rights
under Section 8.6 hereof to effect a Redemption in full, except, in either
case, with the written consent of such Limited Partner affected by the
prohibition or restriction.

 

B.            The General Partner
shall not, without the prior Consent of the Limited Partners, except as
provided in Sections 4.2.A, 5.5, 6.2.B and 7.3.C hereof, amend, modify or
terminate this Agreement.

 

C.            The General Partner
shall have the power, without the Consent of the Limited Partners, to amend
this Agreement as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the
following purposes:

 

(1)           to
add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power
granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the
benefit of the Limited Partners;

 

31

 

(2)           to
reflect the admission, substitution or withdrawal of Partners or the
termination of the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement, and to amend Exhibit
A in connection with such admission, substitution or withdrawal;

 

(3)           to
reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely
affect the Limited Partners in any material respect, or to cure any ambiguity,
correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law
or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising
under this Agreement that will not be inconsistent with law or with the
provisions of this Agreement;

 

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

 

(5)           (a)
to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for the General Partner to
maintain or restore its status as a REIT or to satisfy the REIT Requirements;
or (b) to reflect the Transfer of all or any part of a Partnership Interest
between the General Partner and any Qualified REIT Subsidiary;

 

(6)           to
modify the manner in which Capital Accounts are computed (but only to the
extent set forth in the definition of “Capital Account” or contemplated by the

(7)           to
issue additional Partnership Interests in accordance with Section 4.2.

 

The General Partner will
provide notice to the Limited Partners whenever any action under this Section
7.3.C is taken.

 

D.            Notwithstanding
Sections 7.3.B and 7.3.C hereof, this Agreement shall not be amended, and no
action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of each Partner
adversely affected thereby, if such amendment or action would (i) convert a
Limited Partner Interest in the Partnership into a General Partner Interest
(except as a result of the General Partner acquiring such Partnership
Interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter
the rights of any Partner to receive the distributions to which such Partner is
entitled, pursuant to Article 5 or Section 13.2.A hereof, or alter the
allocations specified in Article 6 hereof (except, in any case, as permitted
pursuant to Sections 4.2, 5.5, 6.2.B and 7.3.C hereof), (iv) alter or modify
the Redemption rights, Cash Amount, REIT Consideration, or REIT Shares Amount
as set forth in Sections 8.6 and 11.2 hereof, or amend or modify any related
definitions, or (v) amend this Section 7.3.D; provided, however,
that the Consent of each Partner adversely affected shall not be required for
any amendment or action that affects all Partners holding the same class or
series of Partnership Units on a uniform or pro rata basis.  Further, no amendment may alter the
restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set forth elsewhere in this
Section 7.3 without the Consent specified therein.  Any such amendment or action consented to by any Partner shall be
effective as to that Partner, notwithstanding the absence of such consent by
any other Partner.

 

Section 7.4             Reimbursement
of the General Partner.

 

A.            The General Partner shall
not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership
except as provided in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5
and 6 hereof regarding distributions, payments and allocations to which it may
be entitled in its capacity as the General Partner).

 

B.            Subject to Sections
7.4.C and 15.11 hereof, the Partnership shall be liable for, and shall
reimburse the General Partner on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the
General Partner may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, for all sums
expended in connection with the Partnership’s business, including, without

 

32

 

limitation,
(i) expenses relating to the ownership of interests in and management and
operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership, (ii) compensation of
officers and employees, including, without limitation, payments under future
compensation plans of the General Partner that may provide for stock units, or
phantom stock, pursuant to which employees of the General Partner will receive
payments based upon dividends on or the value of REIT Shares, (iii) director
fees and expenses and (iv) if the General Partner becomes a public company, all
costs and expenses of the General Partner being a public company, including
costs of filings with the SEC, reports and other distributions to its
stockholders; provided, however, that the amount of any
reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner
with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on
behalf of the Partnership as permitted pursuant to Section 7.5.A hereof.  Such reimbursements shall be in addition to
any reimbursement of the General Partner as a result of indemnification
pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof.

 

C.            To the extent
practicable, Partnership expenses shall be billed directly to and paid by the
Partnership and, subject to Section 15.11 hereof, reimbursements to the General
Partner or any of its Affiliates by the Partnership pursuant to this Section
7.4 shall be treated as non-income reimbursements, and not as “guaranteed
payments” within the meaning of Code Section 707(c) or other form of gross
income.

 

Section 7.5             Outside
Activities of the General Partner.

 

A.            The General Partner
shall not directly or indirectly enter into or conduct any business, other than
in connection with (a) the ownership, acquisition and disposition of
Partnership Interests as General Partner, (b) the management of the business of
the Partnership, (c) if the General Partner becomes a reporting company with a
class (or classes) of securities registered under the Exchange Act, the
operation of the General Partner as such, (d) the General Partner’s operations
as a REIT, (e) the offering, sale, syndication, private placement or public
offering of stock, bonds, securities or other interests, (f) financing or
refinancing of any type related to the Partnership or its assets or activities,
(g) any of the foregoing activities as they relate to a Subsidiary of the
Partnership or of the General Partner and (h) such activities as are incidental
thereto.  Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to prohibit the General Partner from executing guarantees of
Partnership debt for which it would otherwise be liable in its capacity as
General Partner.  Subject to Section
7.3.B hereof, the General Partner shall not own any assets or take title to
assets (other than temporarily in connection with an acquisition prior to
contributing such assets to the Partnership) other than interests in Subsidiaries
of the Partnership and the General Partner and Partnership Interests as the
General Partner and other than such cash and cash equivalents, bank accounts or
similar instruments or accounts as the General Partner deems reasonably
necessary, taking into account Section 7.1.D hereof and the requirements
necessary for the General Partner to carry out its responsibilities
contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter and to qualify as a
REIT.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
the General Partner acquires assets in its own name and owns Property other
than through the Partnership, the Partners agree to negotiate in good faith to
amend this Agreement, including, without limitation, the definition of
“Adjustment Factor,” to reflect such activities and the direct ownership of
assets by the General Partner.  The
General Partner and any Affiliates of the General Partner may acquire Limited
Partner Interests and shall be entitled to exercise all rights of a Limited
Partner relating to such Limited Partner Interests.

 

B.            In the event the
General Partner exercises its rights under the Charter to purchase REIT Shares,
other capital stock of the General Partner or New Securities, as the case may
be, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from it an
appropriate number of Partnership Units on the same terms that the General
Partner purchased such REIT shares, other capital stock of the General Partner
or New Securities, as the case may be, based on the Adjustment Factor then in
effect.

 

Section 7.6             Contracts
with Affiliates.

 

A.            The Partnership may
lend or contribute funds or other assets to its Subsidiaries or other Persons
in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from
the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the sole and absolute
discretion of the General Partner.  The
foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any
Subsidiary or any other Person.

 

33

 

B.            Except as provided
in Section 7.5.A hereof and subject to Section 3.1 hereof, the Partnership may
transfer assets to joint ventures, limited liability companies, partnerships,
corporations, business trusts or other business entities in which it is or
thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions
consistent with this Agreement and applicable law as the General Partner, in
its sole and absolute discretion, believes to be advisable.

 

C.            Except as expressly
permitted by this Agreement, neither the General Partner nor any of its
Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to the Partnership,
directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are determined by
the General Partner in good faith to be fair and reasonable.

 

D.            The General Partner,
in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited
Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit
plans funded by the Partnership for the benefit of employees of the General
Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of
any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the
benefit of the Partnership or any of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries.

 

E.             The General Partner
is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the
Partnership, any Services Agreement with Affiliates of any of the Partnership
or the General Partner, on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion, believes are advisable.

 

Section 7.7             Indemnification.

 

A.            To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the Partnership shall indemnify each
Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
(whether joint or several), expenses (including, without limitation, attorney’s
fees and other legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements and
other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions, suits or
proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to
the operations of the Partnership (“Actions”) as set forth in this
Agreement in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
involved, as a party or otherwise; provided, however, that the
Partnership shall not indemnify an Indemnitee (i) for willful misconduct or a
knowing violation of the law or (ii) for any transaction for which such
Indemnitee received an improper personal benefit in violation or breach of any
provision of this Agreement.  Without
limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any
Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of
the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without
limitation, any indebtedness which the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership
has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized
and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more
indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section 7.7 in
favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such
indebtedness.  It is the intention of
this Section 7.7.A that the Partnership indemnify each Indemnitee to the
fullest extent permitted by law.  The
termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create
a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet the requisite standard of
conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. 
The termination of any proceeding by conviction of an Indemnitee or upon
a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent by an Indemnitee, or an entry of an
order of probation against an Indemnitee prior to judgment, does not create a
presumption that such Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified
in this Section 7.7.A with respect to the subject matter of such
proceeding.  Any indemnification
pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the
Partnership and any insurance proceeds from the liability policy covering the
General Partner and any Indemnities, and neither the General Partner nor any
Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the
Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the Partnership to fund its
obligations under this Section 7.7.

 

B.            To the fullest
extent permitted by law, expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a
proceeding or otherwise subject to or the focus of or is involved in any Action
shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership as incurred by the Indemnitee in
advance of the final disposition of the Action upon receipt by the Partnership
of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith
belief that the standard of

 

34

 

conduct
necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in this Section
7.7.A has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the
Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the
standard of conduct has not been met.

 

C.            The indemnification
provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to which
an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant
to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall
continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall
inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of
the Indemnitee unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such
Indemnitee or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified.

 

D.            The Partnership may,
but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of
any of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall
determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that
may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities,
regardless of whether the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such
Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.

 

E.             Any liabilities
which an Indemnitee incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Partnership
or the General Partner (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with
the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any
related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of
excise taxes assessed by the IRS, penalties assessed by the Department of
Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a
participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or
otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities or judgments or fines under this
Section 7.7, unless such liabilities arise as a result of (i) such Indemnitee’s
intentional misconduct or knowing violation of the law, or (ii) any transaction
in which such Indemnitee received a personal benefit in violation or breach of
any provision of this Agreement or applicable law.

 

F.             In no event may an
Indemnitee subject any of the Partners to personal liability by reason of the
indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement.

 

G.            An Indemnitee shall
not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 7.7
because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which
the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the
terms of this Agreement.

 

H.            The provisions of
this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs,
successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any
rights for the benefit of any other Persons. 
Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any
provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the
obligations of the Partnership or the limitations on the Partnership’s
liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately
prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising
from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such
amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or
be asserted.

 

I.              It is the intent
of the Partners that any amounts paid by the Partnership to the General Partner
pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be treated as “guaranteed payments” within
the meaning of Code Section 707(c).

 

Section 7.8             Liability
of the General Partner.

 

A.            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither the General
Partner nor any of its directors or officers shall be liable or accountable in
damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees for
losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of
errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law or of any act or omission if the
General Partner or such director or officer acted in good faith.

 

35

 

B.            The Limited Partners
expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting for the benefit of the
Partnership, the Limited Partners and the General Partner’s stockholders
collectively and that the General Partner is under no obligation to give
priority to the separate interests of the Limited Partners or the General
Partner’s stockholders (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to
Limited Partners, Assignees or the General Partner’s stockholders) in deciding
whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions.

 

C.            Subject to its
obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 7.1.A hereof,
the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this
Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either
directly or by or through its employees or agents (subject to the supervision
and control of the General Partner). 
The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by it in good faith.

 

D.            To the extent that,
at law or in equity, the General Partner has duties (including fiduciary
duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Limited
Partners, the General Partner shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any
other Partner for its good faith reliance on the provisions of this
Agreement.  The provisions of this
Agreement, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of the
General Partner otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the
Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of such General Partner.

 

E.             Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross
negligence, or pursuant to any express indemnities given to the Partnership by
any Partner pursuant to any other written instrument, no Partner shall have any
personal liability whatsoever, to the Partnership or to the other Partner(s),
for the debts or liabilities of the Partnership or the Partnership’s
obligations hereunder, and the full recourse of the other Partner(s) shall be
limited to the interest of that Partner in the Partnership.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, no
officer, director or stockholder of the General Partner shall be liable to the
Partnership for money damages except for (i) active and deliberate dishonesty
established by a non-appealable final judgment or (ii) actual receipt of an
improper benefit or profit in money, property or services.  Without limitation of the foregoing, and
except for fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or pursuant to any
such express indemnity, no property or assets of any Partner, other than its
interest in the Partnership, shall be subject to levy, execution or other
enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial
process) in favor of any other Partner(s) and arising out of, or in connection
with, this Agreement.  This Agreement is
executed by the officers of the General Partner solely as officers of the same
and not in their own individual capacities.

 

F.             Any amendment,
modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision hereof shall be
prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General
Partner’s, and its officers’ and directors’, liability to the Partnership and
the Limited Partners under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to
such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or
relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment,
modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be
asserted.

 

Section 7.9             Other
Matters Concerning the General Partner.

 

A.            The General Partner
may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by
it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the
proper party or parties.

 

B.            The General Partner
may consult with legal counsel, accountants, appraisers, management
consultants, investment bankers, architects, engineers, environmental
consultants and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act
taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to
matters that the General Partner reasonably believes to be within such Person’s
professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been
done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion.

 

36

 

C.            The General Partner
shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder,
to act through any of its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed
attorney or attorneys-in-fact.  Each
such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power
of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act
and duty that is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner
hereunder.

 

D.            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or
the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any
decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the
Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission
is necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the General
Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT, (ii) for the General Partner
otherwise to satisfy the REIT Requirements, (iii) to avoid the General Partner
incurring any taxes under Code Section 857 or Code Section 4981, is expressly
authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited
Partners.

 

Section 7.10           Title
to Partnership Assets.  Title to
Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or
intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no
Partner, individually or collectively with other Partners or Persons, shall
have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion
thereof.  Title to any or all of the
Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General
Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine,
including Affiliates of the General Partner. 
The General Partner hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership
assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any
nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General
Partner for the use and benefit of the Partnership in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement.  All
Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its
books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such
Partnership assets is held.

 

Section 7.11           Reliance
by Third Parties.  Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the
Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power
and authority, without the consent or approval of any other Partner or Person,
to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the
Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Partnership, and
take any and all actions on behalf of the Partnership, and such Person shall be
entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the Partnership’s sole
party in interest, both legally and beneficially.  Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other
remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or
disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such
dealing.  In no event shall any Person
dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to
ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to
inquire into the necessity or expediency of any act or action of the General
Partner or its representatives.  Each and
every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the
Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive
evidence in favor of any and every Person relying in good faith thereon or
claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such
certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and
effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or
instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the
Partnership and (iii) such certificate, document or instrument was duly
executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership.

 

ARTICLE VIII

RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

 

Section 8.1             Limitation
of Liability.  The Limited Partners
shall have no liability under this Agreement (other than for breach thereof)
except as expressly provided in Section 10.4 or under the Act.

 

Section 8.2             Management
of Business.  No Limited Partner or
Assignee (other than the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer,
director, member, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the General Partner,
the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such) shall
take part in the operations, management or control

 

37

 

(within
the meaning of the Act) of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in
the Partnership’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise
bind the Partnership.  The transaction
of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any
officer, director, member, employee, partner, agent, representative, or trustee
of the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their
capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the
liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement.

 

Section 8.3             Outside
Activities of Limited Partners. 
Subject to any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 7.6.E hereof
and any other agreements entered into by a Limited Partner or its Affiliates
with the General Partner, the Partnership or a Subsidiary (including, without
limitation, any employment agreement), any Limited Partner and any Assignee,
officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate, member or stockholder
of any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and
engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership,
including business interests and activities that are in direct or indirect
competition with the Partnership or that are enhanced by the activities of the
Partnership.  Neither the Partnership
nor any Partner shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any
business ventures of any Limited Partner or Assignee.  Subject to such agreements, none of the Limited Partners nor any
other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the
partnership relationship established hereby in any business ventures of any
other Person (other than the General Partner, to the extent expressly provided
herein), and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement,
subject to Section 7.6.E hereof and any other agreements entered into by a
Limited Partner or its Affiliates with the General Partner, the Partnership or
a Subsidiary, to offer any interest in any such business ventures to the
Partnership, any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such
opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Partnership, any
Limited Partner or such other Person, could be taken by such Person.

 

Section 8.4             Return
of Capital.  Except pursuant to the
rights of Redemption set forth in Section 8.6 hereof, no Limited Partner shall
be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to
the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination
of the Partnership as provided herein. 
Except to the extent provided in Article 6 hereof or otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have priority
over any other Limited Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital
Contributions or as to profits, losses or distributions.

 

Section 8.5             Adjustment
Factor.  The Partnership shall
notify any Limited Partner that is a Qualifying Party, on request, of the then
current Adjustment Factor or any change made to the Adjustment Factor.

 

Section 8.6             Redemption
Rights of Qualifying Parties.

 

A.            After the applicable
Twelve-Month Period, a Qualifying Party, but no other Limited Partner or
Assignee, shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein) to require the Partnership to redeem (a “Redemption”) all or a
portion of the Partnership Common Units held by such Qualifying Party (such
Partnership Common Units being hereafter “Tendered Units”) in exchange
for the Cash Amount payable on the Specified Redemption Date.  Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant
to a Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner by such Qualifying
Party (the “Tendering Party”) when exercising the Redemption right.  The Partnership’s obligation to effect a
Redemption, however, shall not arise or be binding against the Partnership (i)
until and unless there has been a Declination and (ii) before the Business Day
following the Cut-Off Date.  Regardless
of the binding or non-binding nature of a pending Redemption, a Tendering Party
shall have no right to receive distributions with respect to any Tendered Units
(other than the Cash Amount) paid after delivery of the Notice of Redemption,
whether or not the Partnership Record Date for such distribution precedes or
coincides with such delivery of the Notice of Redemption; provided, however,
that in the event that the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership elects
to fund the Cash Amount with the proceeds of an Offering Funding pursuant to
Section 8.6.D hereof, the Tendering Party’s right to receive distributions
shall not be suspended as hereinbefore provided and such Tendering Party shall
have the right to receive distributions actually made hereunder prior to the
date of the closing of the Offering Funding the proceeds of which are used to
pay the Cash Amount.  In the event of a
Redemption, the Cash Amount shall be delivered as a certified check payable to
the Tendering Party or, in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion,
in immediately available funds.

 

38

 

B.            Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 8.6.A hereof, on or before the close of business on the
Cut-Off Date, the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion but
subject to the Ownership Limit and the transfer restrictions and other
limitations of the Charter, elect to acquire some or all of the Tendered Units
from the Tendering Party (such percentage being referred to as the “Applicable
Percentage”) in exchange for the REIT Consideration.  In making such election, the General Partner
shall act in a fair, equitable and reasonable manner that neither prefers one
group or class of Qualifying Parties over another nor discriminates against a
group or class of Qualifying Parties. 
If the General Partner so elects, on the Specified Redemption Date the
Tendering Party shall sell the Applicable Percentage of the Tendered Units to the
General Partner in exchange for the REIT Consideration.  The Tendering Party shall submit (i) such
information, certification or affidavit as the General Partner may reasonably
require in connection with the application of the Ownership Limit and other
restrictions and limitations of the Charter to any such acquisition and (ii)
such written representations, investment letters, legal opinions or other
instruments necessary, in the General Partner’s view, to effect compliance with
the Securities Act.  In the event of a
purchase of any Tendered Units by the General Partner pursuant to this Section
8.6.B, the Tendering Party shall no longer have the right to cause the
Partnership to effect a Redemption of such Tendered Units, and, upon notice to
the Tendering Party by the General Partner, given on or before the close of
business on the Cut-Off Date, that the General Partner has elected to acquire
some or all of the Tendered Units pursuant to this Section 8.6.B, the
obligation of the Partnership to effect a Redemption of the Tendered Units as
to which the General Partner’s notice relates shall not accrue or arise.  The REIT Consideration shall be delivered by
the General Partner as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable REIT Shares and, if applicable, Rights, free of any pledge,
lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than the Ownership Limit and other
restrictions provided in the Charter, the Bylaws of the General Partner, the
Securities Act and relevant state securities or “blue sky” laws.  Except as set forth in Section 8.8 below,
neither any Tendering Party whose Tendered Units are acquired by the General
Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6.B, any Partner, any Assignee nor any other
interested Person shall have any right to require or cause the General Partner
to register, qualify or list any REIT Shares owned or held by such Person,
whether or not such REIT Shares are issued pursuant to this Section 8.6.B, with
the SEC, with any state securities commissioner, department or agency, under
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or with any stock exchange; provided,
however, that this limitation shall not be in derogation of any
registration or similar rights granted pursuant to any other written agreement
between the General Partner and any such Person.  Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery, the Tendering Party
shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares and Rights for all purposes,
including, without limitation, rights to vote or consent, receive dividends,
and exercise rights, as of the Specified Redemption Date.  REIT Shares issued upon an acquisition of
the Tendered Units by the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.6.B may
contain such legends regarding restrictions under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws as the General Partner in good faith
determines to be necessary or advisable in order to ensure compliance with such
laws.

 

C.            Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 8.6.A and 8.6.B hereof, no Tendering Party shall have any
rights under this Agreement that would otherwise be prohibited under the
Charter with respect to the Ownership Limit. 
To the extent that any attempted Redemption or acquisition of the
Tendered Units by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6.B hereof would be
in violation of this Section 8.6.C, it shall be null and void ab initio, and
the Tendering Party shall not acquire any rights or economic interests in REIT
Shares otherwise issuable by the General Partner under Section 8.6.B hereof.

 

D.            In the event that
the General Partner declines or fails to exercise its purchase rights for all
Tendered Units pursuant to Section 8.6.B hereof following receipt of a Notice
of Redemption (a “Declination”):

 

(1)           The
General Partner shall give notice of such Declination to the Tendering Party on
or before the close of business on the Cut-Off Date.  The failure of the General Partner to give notice of such
Declination by the close of business on the Cut-Off Date shall itself
constitute a Declination.

 

39

 

(2)           Subject
to Section 11.6.D, the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership may elect
to raise funds for the payment of all or any percentage of the Cash Amount
either (a) by contribution by the General Partner of funds from the proceeds of
a private placement or registered public offering (each, an “Offering
Funding”) by the General Partner of a number of REIT Shares or other
securities of the REIT (“Offering Funding Shares”) or  (b) from any other sources (including, but
not limited to, the sale of any Property and the incurrence of additional Debt)
available to the Partnership.

 

(3)           If
an Offering Funding has been elected by the General Partner, promptly upon the
General Partner’s receipt of the Notice of Redemption and the General Partner
giving notice of its Declination, the General Partner shall give notice (a “Single
Funding Notice”) to all Qualifying Parties then holding a Partnership
Interest (or an interest therein) and having Redemption rights pursuant to this
Section 8.6 and require that all such Qualifying Parties elect whether or not
to effect a Redemption of their Partnership Common Units to be funded through
an Offering Funding.  In the event that
any such Qualifying Party elects to effect such a Redemption, it shall give
notice thereof and of the number of Partnership Common Units to be made subject
thereto in writing to the General Partner within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of the Single Funding Notice, and such Qualifying Party shall be
treated as a Tendering Party for all purposes of this Section 8.6.  In the event that a Qualifying Party does
not so elect, it shall be deemed to have waived its right to effect a
Redemption for the current Twelve-Month Period; provided, however,
that the General Partner shall not be required to acquire Partnership Common
Units pursuant to this Section 8.6.D more than twice within a calendar year.

 

Any proceeds from an Offering Funding that
are in excess of the aggregate Cash Amount paid to all Tendering Parties
pursuant to this Section 8.6.D shall be for the sole benefit of the General
Partner.  The General Partner shall make
a Capital Contribution of such amounts to the Partnership for an additional
General Partner Interest.  Any such
contribution shall entitle the General Partner to an equitable Percentage
Interest adjustment.

 

E.             Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 8.6.B hereof, the General Partner shall not, under any
circumstances, elect to acquire Tendered Units in exchange for the REIT
Consideration if such exchange would be prohibited under the Charter.

 

F.             Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 8.6.C hereof), with
respect to any Redemption (or any tender of Partnership Common Units for
Redemption if the Tendered Units are acquired by the General Partner pursuant
to Section 8.6.B hereof) pursuant to this Section 8.6:

 

(1)           All
Partnership Common Units acquired by the General Partner pursuant to Section
8.6.B hereof shall automatically, and without further action required, be
converted into and deemed to be a General Partner Interest comprised of the
same number of Partnership Common Units.

 

(2)           Subject
to the Ownership Limit, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption for less
than two hundred fifty (250) Partnership Common Units or, if such Tendering
Party holds (as a Limited Partner or, economically, as an Assignee) less than
two hundred fifty (250) Partnership Common Units, all of the Partnership Common
Units held by such Tendering Party.

 

(3)           Each
Tendering Party (a) may effect a Redemption only once in each fiscal quarter of
a Twelve-Month Period, unless otherwise permitted by the General Partner, in
its sole and absolute discretion and (b) may not effect a Redemption during the
period after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and
before the record date established by the General Partner for a distribution to
its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such Partnership
distribution.

 

40

 

(4)           Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any Redemption or acquisition
of Tendered Units by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6.B hereof, in
the event that the General Partner gives notice to all Limited Partners (but
excluding any Assignees) then owning Partnership Interests (a “Primary
Offering Notice”) that the General Partner desires to effect a primary
offering of its equity securities, then, unless the General Partner otherwise
consents, commencement of the actions denoted in Section 8.6.D hereof as to an
Offering Funding, if any, with respect to any Notice of Redemption thereafter
received, whether or not the Tendering Party is a Limited Partner, may be
delayed until the earlier of (a) the completion of the primary offering or (b)
ninety (90) days following the giving of the Primary Offering Notice.

 

(5)           Without
the consent of the General Partner, no Tendering Party may effect a Redemption
within ninety (90) days following the closing of any prior Offering Funding.

 

(6)           The
consummation of such Redemption (or an acquisition of Tendered Units by the
General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6.B hereof, as the case may be) shall be
subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if
any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
amended.

 

(7)           Subject
to Section 8.6.A, the Tendering Party shall continue to own (subject, in the
case of an Assignee, to the provision of Section 11.5 hereof) all Partnership
Common Units subject to any Redemption, and be treated as a Limited Partner or
an Assignee, as applicable, with respect to such Partnership Common Units for
all purposes of this Agreement, until such Partnership Common Units are either
paid for by the Partnership pursuant to Section 8.6.A hereof or transferred to
the General Partner and paid for, by the issuance of the REIT Shares, pursuant
to Section 8.6.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date.  Until a Specified Redemption Date and an
acquisition of the Tendered Units by the General Partner pursuant to Section
8.6.B hereof, the Tendering Party shall have no rights as a stockholder of the
General Partner with respect to the REIT Shares issuable in connection with
such acquisition.

 

(8)           Any
Partnership Common Units tendered for Redemption pursuant to this Section 8.6
that are Paired Common Units shall include for all purposes under this Section
8.6, the Special Voting Shares attached thereto as required by Section 8.9
below, Section 6.3.3 of the Charter and the applicable provisions of the
Pairing Agreement. All Special Voting Shares acquired by the Partnership in
connection with any Redemption of the attached Paired Common Units pursuant to
Section 8.6.A shall be cancelled and retired in accordance with Section 6.3.4
of the Charter.  All Special Voting
Shares acquired by the General Partner in connection with any acquisition of
the attached Paired Common Units pursuant to Section 8.6.B shall be cancelled
and retired in accordance with Section 6.3.4 of the Charter.

 

For purposes of determining compliance with the
restrictions set forth in this Section 8.6.F, all Partnership Common Units
beneficially owned by a Related Party of a Tendering Party shall be considered
to be owned or held by such Tendering Party.

 

G.            In connection with
an exercise of Redemption rights pursuant to this Section 8.6, the Tendering
Party shall submit the following to the General Partner, in addition to the
Notice of Redemption:

 

(1)           A
written affidavit, dated the same date as the Notice of Redemption, (a)
disclosing the actual and constructive ownership, as determined for purposes of
Code Sections 856(a)(6) and 856(h), of REIT Shares by (i) such Tendering Party
and (ii) any Related Party and (b) representing that, after giving effect to
the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the

 

41

 

General Partner pursuant to Section 8.6.B hereof, neither the Tendering
Party nor any Related Party will own REIT Shares in excess of the Ownership
Limit;

 

(2)           A
written representation that neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party
has any intention to acquire any additional REIT Shares prior to the closing of
the Redemption or an acquisition of the Tendered Units by the General Partner
pursuant to Section 8.6.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date; and

 

(3)           An
undertaking to certify, at and as a condition to the closing of (i) the
Redemption or (ii) the acquisition of the Tendered Units by the General Partner
pursuant to Section 8.6.B hereof on the Specified Redemption Date, that either
(a) the actual and constructive ownership of REIT Shares by the Tendering Party
and any Related Party remain unchanged from that disclosed in the affidavit
required by Section 8.6.G(1) or (b) after giving effect to the Redemption or an
acquisition of the Tendered Units by the General Partner pursuant to Section
8.6.B hereof, neither the Tendering Party nor any Related Party shall own REIT
Shares in violation of the Ownership Limit.

 

Section 8.7             Partnership
Right to Call Limited Partner Interests. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, on and after the
date on which the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Limited Partners are
less than one percent (1%), the Partnership shall have the right, but not the
obligation, from time to time and at any time to redeem any and all outstanding
Limited Partner Interests by treating any Limited Partner as a Tendering Party
who has delivered a Notice of Redemption pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof for the
amount of Partnership Common Units to be specified by the General Partner, in
its sole and absolute discretion, by notice to such Limited Partner that the
Partnership has elected to exercise its rights under this Section 8.7.  Such notice given by the General Partner to
a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be treated as if it were a
Notice of Redemption delivered to the General Partner by such Limited
Partner.  For purposes of this Section
8.7, (a) any Limited Partner (whether or not otherwise a Qualifying Party) may,
in the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion, be treated as a
Qualifying Party that is a Tendering Party and (b) the provisions of Sections
8.6.F(2), 8.6.F(3) and 8.6.F(5) hereof shall not apply, but the remainder of
Section 8.6 hereof shall apply, mutatis mutandis.

 

Section 8.8             Special
Provisions Applicable to Reorganization Common Units.

 

A.            Filing.  No later than sixty (60) days following the
date when the General Partner first becomes eligible for use of a registration
statement on Form S-3 of the SEC (or any similar short form registration
statement which is a successor to Form S-3) the General Partner shall file with
the SEC a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form) (together
with the prospectus included therein, the “Shelf Registration Statement”)
pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act in order to register with the SEC
the resale, from time to time, by the Limited Partners holding Reorganization
Common Units (the “Reorganization Limited Partners”), of such Limited
Partners’ Registrable REIT Securities (as defined below), pursuant to
transactions (including brokers’ transactions and block transactions) on any
securities exchange and/or through any automated quotation system on which such
Registrable REIT Securities are then listed, transactions in the
over-the-counter market or negotiated transactions. The General Partner shall
use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared effective as soon thereafter as is practicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be a
condition to the obligation of the General Partner pursuant to this Section 8.8
to include any Reorganization Limited Partner as a selling stockholder in such
Shelf Registration Statement and to make the Shelf Registration Statement
available to such Reorganization Limited Partner for resale of its Registrable
REIT Securities that such Reorganization Limited Partner shall have complied
with its obligations under Section 8.8.D below. “Registrable REIT Securities”
shall mean the REIT Shares that have been or may be issued from time to time in
exchange for Paired Common Units tendered for redemption by any Reorganization
Limited Partner pursuant to Section 8.6 and any other securities issued by the
General Partner as a dividend or distribution in respect of such Registrable
REIT Securities or resulting from a subdivision of the outstanding Registrable
REIT Securities into a greater number of shares (by reclassification, stock
split or otherwise). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a security that was at one
time a Registrable REIT Security shall cease to be a Registrable REIT Security,
and the General Partner shall have no obligation to effect

 

42

 

any
registration or keep any registration effective with respect to such security,
when (i) such security has been effectively registered under the Securities Act
and has been disposed of pursuant to such registration statement, (ii) such
security is or can be immediately sold to the public in reliance on Rule 144
(or any similar provision then in force) under the Securities Act, (iii) such
security has been otherwise transferred and the General Partner has delivered a
new certificate or other evidence of ownership not bearing a restrictive legend
set forth on such security upon the initial issuance thereof (or other legend
of similar import) or (iv) such security has ceased to be outstanding.

 

B.            Covenants of the
General Partner. The General Partner will use all reasonable efforts to:

 

(1)           keep
such Shelf Registration Statement effective until the third anniversary of the
date on which the Shelf Registration Statement first becomes effective;

 

(2)           prepare
and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Shelf Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary
to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the
disposition of all securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement
during the period specified in clause (1);

(7)           promptly
notify the Reorganization Limited Partners of the occurrence of any of the

(9)           file

listed so as to provide the Reorganization Limited Partners with the benefits
of the prospectus delivery provisions of Rule 153 under the Securities Act; and

 

(10)         subject
to the General Partner’s rights under Section 8.8.C, if any event, fact or

supplement to the related prospectus shall exist, immediately upon becoming
aware thereof, notify the Reorganization Limited Partners and prepare and
furnish to the Reorganization Limited Partners a post-effective amendment to
the Shelf Registration Statement or a supplement to the prospectus or any
document incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required
document, so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the Registrable
REIT Securities, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

 

C.            Blackout Periods.
The foregoing notwithstanding, the General Partner shall have the right in its
sole discretion, based on any valid business purpose (including, without
limitation, to avoid the disclosure of any material non-public information that
the General Partner is not otherwise obligated to disclose), to delay the
filing or amendment of the Shelf Registration Statement prior to its
effectiveness or, if effective, to suspend the use of the prospectus comprising
a part of the Shelf Registration Statement for a reasonable length of time (a “Delay
Period”) and from time to time; provided, that the aggregate number
of days in all Delay Periods occurring in any period of twelve consecutive
months shall not exceed 105 days.

 

D.            Covenants of the
Reorganization Limited Partners. 
(1) Each Reorganization Limited Partner shall promptly furnish in
writing to the General Partner such information as the General Partner may reasonably
request for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement, any amendment
thereto or any supplement to the related prospectus (which request shall be
submitted in writing a reasonable period of time in advance of the filing of
the Shelf Registration Statement or the amendment thereto or the prospectus
supplement with respect to which the requested information relates).  If any Reorganization Limited Partner fails
to provide the General Partner with such information within fifteen (15)
Business Days after the General Partner’s request for such information, the
General Partner shall not be obligated to include such Reorganization Limited
Partner’s Registrable REIT Securities in the Shelf Registration Statement, the
amendment thereto or the prospectus supplement, as the case may be.

 

(2)           Each Reorganization Limited Partner agrees that upon
receipt of any notice from the General Partner of the happening of any event of
the kind described in clause (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) of Section 8.8.B(7)
hereof, (A) such Reorganization Limited Partner will forthwith discontinue
disposition of Registrable REIT Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement until (x) in the case of a notice pursuant to clause (ii) or (vi) of
Section 8.8.B(7), such Reorganization Limited Partner’s receipt from the
General Partner of copies of the supplemented prospectus contemplated by
Section 8.8.B(10) hereof or notice from the General Partner that the prospectus
has been supplemented, (y) in the case of a notice pursuant to clause (iii) of
Section 8.8.B(7), the General Partner notifies such Reorganization Limited
Partner of the suspension of such stop order, and (z) in the case of a notice
pursuant to clause (iv) or (v) of Section 8.8.B(7), the General Partner
notifies such Reorganization Limited Partner of the cessation of such
suspension, (B) in the case of any notice with respect to an event described in
clause (iv) or (vi) of Section 8.8.B(7) such Reorganization Limited Partner
shall maintain in confidence the fact and substance of such notice and shall
refrain from taking any action with respect to any securities of the General
Partner or the Partnership until the General Partner shall have taken either of
the actions contemplated by clause (x) above, and (C) if so directed by the
General Partner, such Reorganization Limited Partner will deliver to the
General Partner all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such
Reorganization Limited Partner’s possession of the most recent prospectus
covering such Registrable REIT Securities at the time of receipt of such
notice.  In the event the General
Partner shall give such notice, the General Partner shall extend the period
during which the Shelf Registration Statement shall be maintained effective
pursuant to Section 8.8.B(1) hereof by the number of days for which

 

44

 

the Reorganization Limited
Partners were required to discontinue disposition of Registrable REIT
Securities pursuant to the preceding sentence.

 

E.             Registration
Expenses.   The General Partner
shall pay all expenses (“Registration Expenses”) incident to its
compliance with this Section 8.8 (including, without limitation, (i) all SEC,
stock exchange and National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. registration,
filing and listing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in complying with
securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel in connection with real estate syndication and “blue sky”
qualifications of the Registrable REIT Securities), (iii) all printing,
messenger and delivery expenses, (iv) all fees and disbursements of the General
Partner’s independent public accountants and counsel, and (v) all fees and
expenses of any special experts retained by the General Partner in connection
with the Shelf Registration Statement) regardless of whether such Shelf
Registration Statement becomes effective; provided, however, that
the Registration Expenses shall not include, and the General Partner shall not
pay, bear or be responsible for, any costs and expenses incurred by any
Reorganization Limited Partner relating to brokerage or dealer fees or
commissions, any transfer taxes or any fees or expenses of any counsel,
accountants or other representatives retained by the Reorganization Limited
Partners, individually or in the aggregate.

 

Section 8.9             Special
Provisions Applicable to Paired Common Units. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein and in addition to the restrictions on transfer
of Partnership Interests set forth in Article XI hereof, until the limitation
on transfer with respect to the Paired Common Units provided for in the Pairing
Agreement shall be terminated:

 

A.            No Paired Common
Unit shall be transferable, and no Paired Common Unit shall be transferred on
the books of the Partnership, except in accordance with the provisions of the
Pairing Agreement.

 

B.            A legend, in the
form set forth on Exhibit E hereto, shall be placed on the face of each
certificate evidencing ownership of Paired Common Units referring to the
restriction on transfer set forth in this Section 8.9.

 

C.            Notwithstanding the
foregoing, upon any acquisition by the Partnership or the General Partner of
any Paired Common Units (whether pursuant to Section 8.6 or Section 8.7 hereof
or otherwise), all restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 8.9 and
in the Pairing Agreement with respect to such Paired Common Units so acquired
shall terminate, and the General Partner may transfer any Paired Common Units
acquired by it without regard to the restrictions set forth in this Section 8.9
or in the Pairing Agreement.

 

D.            In the event that
any Special Voting Shares paired with Paired Common Units are transferred to a
trust pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2(b) of the Charter, the Paired
Common Units paired with such shares shall be automatically transferred to such
trust concurrently therewith and shall be subject to all the provisions of
Section 7.3 of the Charter to the same extent that the Special Voting Shares
paired therewith are so subject.

Partnership’s business, including, without limitation, all books and records

Partnership shall be maintained, for financial and tax reporting purposes, on
an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,

Partner may operate with integrated or consolidated accounting records,
operations and principles.

Year.  The Partnership Year of the Partnership
shall be the calendar year.

each Limited Partner of record as of the close of the Partnership Year an
annual report containing financial statements of the Partnership, or of the
General Partner if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis
with the General Partner, for such Partnership Year, presented in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, such statements to be audited by
a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the
General Partner.

 

B.            As soon as

statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with the General
Partner, and such other information as may be required by applicable law or
regulation or as the General Partner determines to be appropriate.

 

C.            At the request of
any Limited Partner, the General Partner shall provide access to the books,
records and workpapers upon which the reports required by this Section 9.3 are
based, to the extent required by the Act.

 

ARTICLE X

TAX MATTERS

 

Section 10.1           Preparation
of Tax Returns.  The General Partner
shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns with respect
to Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items required of
the Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all
reasonable effort to furnish, within ninety (90) days of the close of each
taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Limited Partners for
federal and state income tax reporting purposes.  The Limited Partners shall promptly provide the General Partner
with such information relating to the Contributed Properties, including tax
basis and other relevant information, as may be reasonably requested by the
General Partner from time to time.

 

Section 10.2           Tax
Elections.  Except as otherwise
provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole and absolute
discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the
Code, including, but not limited to, the election under Code Section 754 and
the election to use the “recurring item” method of accounting provided under
Code Section 461(h) with respect to property taxes imposed on the Partnership’s
Properties; provided, however, that, if the “recurring item” method
of accounting is elected with respect to such property taxes, the Partnership
shall pay the applicable property taxes prior to the date provided in Code
Section 461(h) for purposes of determining economic performance.  The General Partner shall have the right to
seek to revoke any such election (including, without

 

46

 

limitation, any election under
Code Sections 461(h) and 754) upon the General Partner’s determination in its
sole and absolute discretion that such revocation is in the best interests of
the Partners.

 

Section 10.3           Tax
Matters Partner.

 

A.            The General Partner
shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax
purposes.  The tax matters partner shall
receive no compensation for its services. 
All third-party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner
in performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees and
expenses) shall be borne by the Partnership in addition to any reimbursement
pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof.  Nothing
herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an
accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging its duties
hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services
is reasonable.  At the request of any
Limited Partner, the General Partner agrees to consult with such Limited
Partner with respect to the preparation and filing of any returns and with
respect to any subsequent audit or litigation relating to such returns; provided,
however, that the filing of such returns shall be in the sole and
absolute discretion of the General Partner.

 

B.            The tax matters
partner is authorized, but not required:

 

(1)           to
enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or
judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required to be
taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative
proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial
proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the
settlement agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such
agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall
not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code
and Regulations) files a statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters
partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on
behalf of such Partner or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Code Section
6231) or a member of a “notice group” (as defined in Code Section 6223(b)(2));

 

(2)           in
the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership
level of any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax
purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to
seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a
petition for readjustment with the United States Tax Court or the United States
Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court
of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal
place of business is located;

 

(3)           to
intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial review of a
final adjustment;

 

(4)           to
file a request for an administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and,
if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate
pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such
request;

 

(5)           to
enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for assessing any tax
that is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Partner
for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and

 

(6)           to
take any other action on behalf of the Partners in connection with any tax
audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent permitted by applicable law
or regulations.

 

The taking of any action and the incurring of
any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding,
except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute
discretion of the tax matters partner

 

47

 

and the provisions relating to
indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 hereof shall be
fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such.

 

Section 10.4           Withholding.  Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the
Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such
Limited Partner any amount of federal, state, local or foreign taxes that the
General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay
with respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any taxes required
to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Code Section 1441, Code
Section 1442, Code Section 1445 or Code Section 1446.  Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner
shall constitute a loan by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, which loan
shall be repaid by such Limited Partner within fifteen (15) days after notice
from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the
Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution that would otherwise be
made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole
and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the
Available Funds of the Partnership that would, but for such payment, be distributed
to the Limited Partner.  Each Limited
Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a
security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such
Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to
be paid pursuant to this Section 10.4. 
In the event that a Limited Partner fails to pay any amounts owed to the
Partnership pursuant to this Section 10.4 when due, the General Partner may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, elect to make the payment to the Partnership
on behalf of such defaulting Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed
to have loaned such amount to such defaulting Limited Partner and shall succeed
to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such defaulting
Limited Partner (including, without limitation, the right to receive
distributions).  Any amounts payable by
a Limited Partner hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate
loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from
time to time in The Wall Street Journal, plus four (4) percentage points
(but not higher than the maximum lawful rate) from the date such amount is due
(i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in
full.  Each Limited Partner shall take
such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order
to perfect or enforce the security interest created hereunder.

 

Section 10.5           Organizational
Expenses.  The Partnership shall
elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership
ratably over a 60 month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code.

 

ARTICLE XI

TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS

 

Section 11.1           Transfer.

 

A.            No part of the
interest of a Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, to any
spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily
or involuntarily alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided
for in this Agreement.

 

B.            No Partnership
Interest shall be Transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11.  Any Transfer or purported Transfer of a
Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null
and void ab initio.

 

C.            Notwithstanding the
other provisions of this Article 11 (other than Section 11.6.D hereof), the
Partnership Interests of the General Partner may be Transferred, in whole or in
part, at any time or from time to time, to any Person that is, at the time of
such Transfer, a Qualified REIT Subsidiary. 
Any transferee of the entire General Partner Interest pursuant to this
Section 11.1.C shall automatically become, without further action or Consent of
any Limited Partners, the sole general partner of the Partnership, subject to
all the rights, privileges, duties and obligations under this Agreement and the
Act relating to a general partner. Upon any Transfer permitted by this Section
11.1.C, the transferor Partner shall be relieved of all its obligations under
this Agreement.  The provisions of
Section 11.2.B (other

 

48

 

than the last sentence
thereof), 11.3, 11.4.A and 11.5 hereof shall not apply to any Transfer
permitted by this Section 11.1.C.

 

D.            No Transfer of any
Partnership Interest may be made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person
who is related (within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to
any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability,
without the consent of the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion;
provided that as a condition to such consent, the lender will be
required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General
Partner to redeem or exchange for the REIT Consideration any Partnership Units
in which a security interest is held by such lender concurrently with such time
as such lender would be deemed to be a partner in the Partnership for purposes
of allocating liabilities to such lender under Section 752 of the Code.

 

Section 11.2           Transfer
of General Partner’s Partnership Interest.

 

A.            The General Partner
may not Transfer any of its General Partner Interest or withdraw from the
Partnership except as provided in Sections 11.1.C, 11.2.B and 11.2.C hereof.

 

B.            Except as set forth
in Section 11.1.C above and Section 11.2.C below, the General Partner shall not
withdraw from the Partnership and shall not Transfer all or any portion of its
interest in the Partnership (whether by sale, disposition, statutory merger or
consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) without the Consent of the Limited
Partners, which Consent may be given or withheld in the sole and absolute
discretion of the Limited Partners. 
Upon any Transfer of such a Partnership Interest pursuant to the Consent
of the Limited Partners and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11.2.B, the transferee shall become a successor General Partner for all
purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the
transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and
responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such transferee has
executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and
to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and
provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so
acquired.  It is a condition to any
Transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by
operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor
General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such Transferred
Partnership Interest, and such Transfer shall relieve the transferor General
Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the
Limited Partners.  In the event that the
General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, in violation of this Agreement
or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the bankruptcy of
the General Partner, a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners may elect
to continue the Partnership business by selecting a successor General Partner
in accordance with the Act.

 

C.            Notwithstanding
Section 11.2.B, the General Partner may merge with another entity if
immediately after such merger substantially all of the assets of the surviving
entity, other than the General Partner Interest held by the General Partner,
are contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in exchange for
Partnership Units.

 

Section 11.3           Transfer
of Limited Partners’ Partnership Interests.

 

A.            General.  No Limited Partner shall Transfer all or any
portion of its Partnership Interest to any transferee without the consent of
the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion.

 

B.            Conditions to
Transfer Consent.  Without limiting
the generality of Section 11.3.A hereof, it is expressly understood and agreed
that the General Partner will not consent to any Transfer of all or any portion
of any Partnership Interest pursuant to Section 11.3.A above unless such
Transfer meets each of the following conditions:

 

(1)           Qualified
Transferee.  Such Transfer is made
only to a single Qualified Transferee; provided, however, that,
for such purposes, all Qualified Transferees that are Affiliates,

 

49

 

or that comprise investment accounts or funds managed by a single
Qualified Transferee and its Affiliates, shall be considered together to be a
single Qualified Transferee.

 

(2)           Assumption
of Obligations.  The transferee in
such Transfer assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the
obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect
to such Transferred Partnership Interest; provided, that no such
Transfer (unless made pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein
all obligations and liabilities of the transferor Partner are assumed by a
successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner
of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General
Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any transferee of any Transferred
Partnership Interest shall be subject to any and all ownership limitations
contained in the Charter that may limit or restrict such transferee’s ability
to exercise its Redemption rights, including, without limitation, the Ownership
Limit.  Any transferee, whether or not
admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations
of the transferor hereunder.  Unless
admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a
voluntary Transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights
hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.5
hereof.

 

(3)           Effective
Date.  Such Transfer is effective as
of the first day of a fiscal quarter of the Partnership.

 

C.            Incapacity.  If a Limited Partner is subject to
Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian,
conservator or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the
rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other
Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such
power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to Transfer all or any
part of its interest in the Partnership. 
The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not
dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

 

D.            Opinion of
Counsel.  In connection with any
proposed Transfer of a Limited Partner Interest, the General Partner shall have
the right to receive an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to it to the
effect that the proposed Transfer may be effected without registration under
the Securities Act and will not otherwise violate any federal or state securities
laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Interests
Transferred.

 

E.             Adverse Tax
Consequences.  No Transfer by a
Limited Partner of its Partnership Interests (including any Redemption, any
other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership or the General
Partner) may be made to or by any person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel
for the Partnership, it would result in the Partnership being treated as an
association taxable as a corporation or would result in a termination of the
Partnership under Code Section 708, or (ii) such Transfer would be effectuated
through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the
substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Code Section 7704.

 

Section 11.4           Substituted
Limited Partners.

 

A.            A transferee of the
interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to a Transfer consented to by the
General Partner pursuant to Section 11.3.A may be admitted as a Substituted
Limited Partner only with the consent of the General Partner, which consent may
be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion.  The failure or refusal by
the General Partner to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted
Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against the
Partnership or the General Partner. 
Subject to the foregoing, an Assignee shall not be admitted as a
Substituted Limited Partner until and unless it furnishes to the General Partner
(i) evidence of acceptance, in form and substance satisfactory to the General
Partner, of all the terms, conditions and applicable obligations of this
Agreement, (ii) a counterpart signature page to this Agreement executed by such
Assignee and (iii) such other documents and instruments as may be required or
advisable, in the sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner, to
effect such Assignee’s admission as a Substituted Limited Partner.

 

50

 

B.            A transferee who has
been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article
11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions
and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement.

 

C.            Upon the admission
of a Substituted Limited Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A
to reflect the name, address and number of Partnership Units of such
Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name,
address and number of Partnership Units of the predecessor of such Substituted
Limited Partner.

 

Section 11.5           Assignees.  If the General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion, does not consent to the admission of any transferee of any
Partnership Interest as a Substituted Limited Partner in connection with a transfer
permitted by the General Partner pursuant to Section 11.3.A, such transferee
shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement.  An Assignee shall be entitled to all the
rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act,
including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share
of Net Income, Net Losses and other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and
credit of the Partnership attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to
such transferee and the rights to Transfer the Partnership Units only in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 11, but shall not be deemed to
be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this Agreement,
and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent or vote or effect a Redemption
with respect to such Partnership Units on any matter presented to the Limited
Partners for approval (such right to Consent or vote or effect a Redemption, to
the extent provided in this Agreement or under the Act, fully remaining with
the transferor Limited Partner).  In the
event that any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such
Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of
this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited
Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership Units.

 

Section 11.6           General
Provisions.

 

A.            No Limited Partner
may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a result of a permitted
Transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in accordance with
this Article 11, with respect to which the transferee becomes a Substituted
Limited Partner, or pursuant to a redemption (or acquisition by the General
Partner) of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to a Redemption under Section
8.6 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit Designation.

 

B.            Any Limited Partner
who shall Transfer all of its Partnership Units in a Transfer (i) consented to
by the General Partner pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was
admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner, (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its
rights to effect a redemption of all of its Partnership Units pursuant to a
Redemption under Section 8.6 hereof and/or pursuant to any Partnership Unit
Designation or (iii) to the General Partner, whether or not pursuant to Section
8.6.B hereof, shall cease to be a Limited Partner.

 

C.            If any Partnership
Unit is Transferred in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11, or is
redeemed by the Partnership, or acquired by the General Partner pursuant to
Section 8.6 hereof, on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year,
then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items of income,
gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to such Partnership Unit for such
Partnership Year shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or the Tendering
Party, as the case may be, and, in the case of a Transfer or assignment other
than a Redemption, to the transferee Partner, by taking into account their
varying interests during the Partnership Year in accordance with Code Section
706(d), using the “interim closing of the books” method or another permissible
method selected by the General Partner. 
Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for
the calendar month in which a Transfer occurs shall be allocated to the
transferee Partner and none of such items for the calendar month in which a
Transfer or a Redemption occurs shall be allocated to the transferor Partner or
the Tendering Party, as the case may be, if such Transfer occurs on or before
the fifteenth (15th) day of the month, otherwise such items shall be allocated
to the transferor. All distributions of Available Cash attributable to such
Partnership Unit with respect to

 

51

 

which the Partnership Record
Date is before the date of such Transfer, assignment or Redemption shall be
made to the transferor Partner or the Tendering Party, as the case may be, and,
in the case of a Transfer other than a Redemption, all distributions of
Available Cash thereafter attributable to such Partnership Unit shall be made
to the transferee Partner.

 

D.            In no event may any
Transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including any
Redemption, any acquisition of Partnership Units by the General Partner or any
other acquisition of Partnership Units by the Partnership) be made (i) to any
person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a
Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) of any
component portion of a Partnership Interest, such as the Capital Account, or
rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a
Partnership Interest; (iv) in the event that such Transfer would cause the
General Partner to cease to comply with the REIT Requirements; (v) if such
Transfer would, in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership or the General
Partner, cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax
purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the General
Partner) of all Partnership Common Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if
such Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, cause
the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership for federal income
tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption (or acquisition by the
General Partner) of all Partnership Common Units held by all Limited Partners);
(vii) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to
any employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest”
(as defined in ERISA Section 3(14)) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in
Code Section 4975(c)); (viii) if such Transfer would, in the opinion of legal
counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership
to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of
Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; (ix) if such Transfer requires the
registration of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or
state securities laws; (x) if such Transfer causes the Partnership to become a
“publicly traded partnership,” as such term is defined in Code Section
469(k)(2) or Code 7704(b); (xi) if such Transfer would cause the Partnership to
have more than five hundred (500) partners (including as partners those persons
indirectly owning an interest in the Partnership through a partnership, limited
liability company, subchapter S corporation or grantor trust); (xii) if such
Transfer causes the Partnership (as opposed to the General Partner) to become a
reporting company under the Exchange Act; or (xiii) if such Transfer subjects
the Partnership to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or ERISA, each as amended.

 

ARTICLE XII

ADMISSION OF PARTNERS

 

Section 12.1           Admission
of Successor General Partner.  A
successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant to
Section 11.2 hereof who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General
Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective
immediately prior to such Transfer.  Any
such successor shall carry on the business of the Partnership without
dissolution.  In each case, the admission
shall be subject to the successor General Partner executing and delivering to
the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect
the admission.

 

Section 12.2           Admission
of Additional Limited Partners.

 

A.            After the date
hereof, a Person (other than an existing Partner) who makes a Capital
Contribution to the Partnership in accordance with this Agreement shall be
admitted to the Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner only upon
furnishing to the General Partner (i) evidence of acceptance, in form and
substance satisfactory to the General Partner, of all of the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power of
attorney granted in Section 2.4 hereof, (ii) a counterpart signature page to
this Agreement executed by such Person and (iii) such other documents or
instruments as may be required in the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as an Additional
Limited Partner.

 

B.            Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 12.2, no Person shall be admitted as
an Additional Limited Partner without the consent of the General Partner, which
consent may be given or withheld

 

52

 

in the General Partner’s sole
and absolute discretion.  The admission
of any Person as an Additional Limited Partner shall become effective on the
date upon which the name of such Person is recorded on the books and records of
the Partnership, following the consent of the General Partner to such
admission.

 

C.            If any Additional
Limited Partner is admitted to the Partnership on any day other than the first
day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and
all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable among
Partners and Assignees for such Partnership Year shall be allocated pro rata
among such Additional Limited Partner and all other Partners and Assignees by
taking into account their varying interests during the Partnership Year in
accordance with Code Section 706(d), using the “interim closing of the books”
method or another permissible method selected by the General Partner.  Solely for purposes of making such
allocations, each of such items for the calendar month in which an admission of
any Additional Limited Partner occurs shall be allocated among all the Partners
and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner, in accordance with the
principles described in Section 11.6.C hereof. 
All distributions of Available Cash with respect to which the
Partnership Record Date is before the date of such admission shall be made
solely to Partners and Assignees other than the Additional Limited Partner, and
all distributions of Available Cash thereafter shall be made to all the
Partners and Assignees including such Additional Limited Partner.

 

Section 12.3           Amendment
of Agreement and Certificate of Limited Partnership.  For the admission to the Partnership of any
Partner, the General Partner shall take all steps necessary and appropriate
under the Act to amend the records of the Partnership and, if necessary, to
prepare as soon as practical an amendment of this Agreement (including an
amendment of Exhibit A) and, if required by law, shall prepare and file
an amendment to the Certificate and may for this purpose exercise the power of
attorney granted pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof.

 

Section 12.4           Limit
on Number of Partners.  Unless
otherwise permitted by the General Partner, no Person shall be admitted to the
Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner if the effect of such admission
would be to cause the Partnership to have a number of Partners (including as
Partners for this purpose those Persons indirectly owning an interest in the
Partnership through another partnership, a limited liability company, a
subchapter S corporation or a grantor trust) that would cause the Partnership
to become a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

 

ARTICLE XIII

DISSOLUTION, LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION

 

Section 13.1           Dissolution.  The Partnership shall not be dissolved by
the admission of Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor
General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner,
any successor General Partner shall continue the business of the Partnership
without dissolution.  However, the
Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first
to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”):

 

A.            a final and
non-appealable judgment is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction ruling
that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and
non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate
jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under any federal or
state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless,
prior to the entry of such order or judgment, a Majority in Interest of the
remaining Limited Partners agree in writing, in their sole and absolute
discretion, to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment,
effective as of a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a
successor General Partner;

 

B.            an election to
dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
discretion, with or without the Consent of the Limited Partners;

 

53

 

C.            entry of a decree of
judicial dissolution of the Partnership pursuant to the provisions of the Act;

 

D.            the occurrence of a
Terminating Capital Transaction; or

 

E.             the Redemption (or
acquisition by the General Partner) of all Partnership Units other than
Partnership Units held by the General Partner.

 

Section 13.2           Winding
Up.

 

A.            Upon the occurrence
of a Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes
of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets and
satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners.  After the occurrence of a Liquidating Event, no Partner shall
take any action that is inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate
for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs.  The General Partner or, in the event that
there is no remaining General Partner or the General Partner has dissolved,
become bankrupt within the meaning of the Act or ceased to operate, any Person
elected by a Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners (the General Partner
or such other Person being referred to herein as the “Liquidator”) shall
be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership
and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property, and
the Partnership property shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with
obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the
extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in the
General Partner) shall be applied and distributed in the following order:

 

(1)           First,
to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to
creditors other than the Partners and their Assignees (whether by payment or
the making of reasonable provision for payment thereof);

 

(2)           Second,
to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the
General Partner (whether by payment or the making of reasonable provision for
payment thereof), including, but not limited to, amounts due as reimbursements
under Section 7.4 hereof;

 

(3)           Third,
to the satisfaction of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the
other Partners and any Assignees (whether by payment or the making of
reasonable provision for payment thereof); and

 

(4)           Subject
to the terms of any Partnership Unit Designation, the balance, if any, to the
General Partner, the Limited Partners and any Assignees in accordance with and
in proportion to their positive Capital Account balances, after giving effect
to all contributions, distributions and allocations for all periods.

 

The General Partner shall not receive any
additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to this Article 13.

 

B.            Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 13.2.A hereof that require liquidation of the assets of
the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if
prior to or upon dissolution of the Partnership the Liquidator determines that
an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be
impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in
its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation
of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership
(including to those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners,
in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.2.A hereof, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the
Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. 
Any such distributions in kind shall be made only if, in the good faith
judgment of the Liquidator, such distributions in kind are in the best interest
of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the

 

54

 

disposition and management of
such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any
agreements governing the operation of such properties at such time.  The Liquidator shall determine the fair
market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method
of valuation as it may adopt.

 

C.            In the event that
the Partnership is “liquidated” within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g),
distributions shall be made pursuant to this Article 13 to the Partners and
Assignees that have positive Capital Accounts in compliance with Regulations
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(b)(2)
to the extent of, and in proportion to, positive Capital Account balances.  If the General Partner has a deficit balance
in its Capital Account (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions
and allocations for all taxable years, including the year during which such
liquidation occurs) (a “Capital Account Deficit”), the General Partner
shall make a contribution to the capital of the Partnership equal to the amount
of such deficit.  No Partner other than
the General Partner shall be required to make any contribution to the capital
of the Partnership with respect to a Capital Account Deficit, if any, of such
Partner, and such Capital Account Deficit shall not be considered a debt owed
to the Partnership or any other person for any purpose whatsoever.  In the sole and absolute discretion of the
General Partner or the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that
would otherwise be made to the Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

 

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

 

2.             withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for
Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized
portion of any installment obligations owed to the Partnership, provided that
such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General Partner
and Limited Partners in the manner and order of priority set forth in Section
13.2.A hereof as soon as practicable.

 

Section 13.3           Deemed
Distribution and Recontribution. 
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event
that the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section
1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), but no
Liquidating Event has occurred, the Partnership’s Property shall not be
liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged and
the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up.  Instead, for federal income tax purposes the Partnership shall be
deemed to have contributed all of its assets and liabilities to a new
partnership in exchange for an interest in the new partnership; and, immediately
thereafter, distributed interests in the new partnership to the Partners in
accordance with their respective Capital Accounts in liquidation of the
Partnership, and the new partnership is deemed to continue the business of the
Partnership.  Nothing in this Section
13.3 shall be deemed to have constituted any Assignee as a Substituted Limited
Partner without compliance with the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof.

 

Section 13.4           Rights
of Limited Partners.  Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, (a) each Limited Partner shall look
solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital
Contribution, (b) no Limited Partner shall have the right or power to demand or
receive property other than cash from the Partnership and (c) no Limited
Partner (other than any Limited Partner who holds Partnership Preferred Units,
to the extent specifically set forth herein and in the applicable Partnership
Unit Designation) shall have priority over any other Limited Partner as to the
return of its Capital Contributions, distributions or allocations.

 

Section 13.5           Notice
of Dissolution.  In the event that a
Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs that would, but for an election or
objection by one or more Partners pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, result in a
dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within thirty (30)
days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners and, in
the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion or as required by the Act,
to all other parties with whom the Partnership regularly conducts business (as
determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the

 

55

 

General Partner), and the
General Partner may, or, if required by the Act, shall, publish notice thereof
in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership
regularly conducts business (as determined in the sole and absolute discretion
of the General Partner).

 

Section 13.6           Cancellation
of Certificate of Limited Partnership. 
Upon the completion of the liquidation of the Partnership cash and
property as provided in Section 13.2 hereof, the Partnership shall be
terminated, a certificate of cancellation shall be filed with the State of Delaware,
all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership or
association in jurisdictions other than the State of Delaware shall be
cancelled, and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the
Partnership shall be taken.

 

Section 13.7           Reasonable
Time for Winding-Up.  A reasonable
time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of
the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Section 13.2
hereof, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such
winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between
the Partners during the period of liquidation.

 

ARTICLE XIV

PROCEDURES FOR ACTIONS AND CONSENTS

OF PARTNERS; AMENDMENTS; MEETINGS

 

Section 14.1           Procedures
for Actions and Consents of Partners. 
The actions requiring consent or approval of Limited Partners pursuant
to this Agreement, including Section 7.3 hereof, or otherwise pursuant to
applicable law, are subject to the procedures set forth in this Article 14.

 

Section 14.2           Amendments.  Amendments to this Agreement requiring
consent of the Limited Partners may be proposed by the General Partner or by a
Majority in Interest of the Limited Partners. 
Following such proposal, the General Partner shall submit any proposed
amendment to the Limited Partners.  The
General Partner shall seek the written consent of the Limited Partners on the
proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any
other business that the General Partner may deem appropriate.  For purposes of obtaining a written consent,
the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time,
but not less than fifteen (15) days, and failure to respond in such time period
shall constitute a consent that is consistent with the General Partner’s
recommendation with respect to the proposal; provided, however,
that an action shall become effective at such time as requisite consents are
received even if prior to such specified time.

 

Section 14.3           Meetings
of the Partners.

 

A.            Meetings of the
Partners may be called by the General Partner and shall be called upon the
receipt by the General Partner of a written request by a Majority in Interest
of the Limited Partners.  The call shall
state the nature of the business to be transacted.  Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners not
less than seven (7) days nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the date of
such meeting.  Partners may vote in
person or by proxy at such meeting. 
Whenever the vote or Consent of Partners is permitted or required under
this Agreement, such vote or Consent may be given at a meeting of Partners or
may be given in accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.3.B
hereof.

 

B.            Any action required
or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a
meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by a
majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage
as is expressly required by this Agreement for the action in question).  Such consent may be in one instrument or in
several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of a
majority of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (or such other percentage
as is expressly required by this Agreement). 
Such consent shall be filed with the General Partner.  An action so taken shall be deemed to have
been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified.

 

56

 

C.            Each Limited Partner
may authorize any Person or Persons to act for it by proxy on all matters in
which a Limited Partner is entitled to participate, including waiving notice of
any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting.  Every proxy must be signed by the Limited Partner or its attorney-in-fact.  No proxy shall be valid after the expiration
of eleven (11) months from the date thereof unless otherwise provided in the
proxy (or there is receipt of a proxy authorizing a later date).  Every proxy shall be revocable at the
pleasure of the Limited Partner executing it, such revocation to be effective
upon the Partnership’s receipt of written notice of such revocation from the
Limited Partner executing such proxy. 
The use of proxies will be governed in the same manner as in the case of
corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of Delaware (including
Section 212 thereof).

 

D.            Each meeting of
Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the
General Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the
meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate in its
sole and absolute discretion.  Without
limitation, meetings of Partners may be conducted in the same manner as
meetings of the General Partner’s stockholders and may be held at the same time
as, and as part of, the meetings of the General Partner’s stockholders.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, to the extent that the
amount paid, credited, distributed or reimbursed by the Partnership to any REIT
Partner or its officers, directors, employees or agents, whether as a
reimbursement, fee, expense or indemnity (a “REIT Payment”), would
constitute gross income to the REIT Partner for purposes of Code Section
856(c)(2) or Code Section 856(c)(3), then, notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the amount of such REIT Payments, as selected by the General
Partner in its discretion from among items of potential distribution,
reimbursement, fees, expenses and indemnities, shall be reduced for any
Partnership Year so that the REIT Payments, as so reduced, for or with respect
to such REIT Partner shall not exceed the lesser of:

 

(i)            an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) four and nine-tenths percent (4.9%)
of the REIT Partner’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT
Payments) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through
(H) of Code Section 856(c)(2) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the
meaning of Code Section 856(c)(2)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources
other than those described in subsections (A) through (H) of Code Section
856(c)(2) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments); or

 

(ii)           an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) twenty-four percent (24%) of the
REIT Partner’s total gross income (but excluding the amount of any REIT
Payments) for the Partnership Year that is described in subsections (A) through
(I) of Code Section 856(c)(3) over (b) the amount of gross income (within the
meaning of Code Section 856(c)(3)) derived by the REIT Partner from sources
other than those described in subsections (A) through (I) of Code Section
856(c)(3) (but not including the amount of any REIT Payments);

 

58

 

provided, however, that REIT Payments in
excess of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above may be made if
the General Partner, as a condition precedent, obtains an opinion of tax
counsel that the receipt of such excess amounts shall not adversely affect the
REIT Partner’s ability to qualify as a REIT. 
To the extent that REIT Payments may not be made in a Partnership Year
as a consequence of the limitations set forth in this Section 15.11, such REIT
Payments shall carry over and shall be treated as arising in the following
Partnership Year.  The purpose of the
limitations contained in this Section 15.11 is to prevent any REIT Partner from
failing to qualify as a REIT under the Code by reason of such REIT Partner’s
share of items, including distributions, reimbursements, fees, expenses or
indemnities, receivable directly or indirectly from the Partnership, and this
Section 15.11 shall be interpreted and applied to effectuate such purpose.

 

Section 15.12         No
Partition.  No Partner nor any
successor-in-interest to a Partner shall have the right while this Agreement
remains in effect to have any property of the Partnership partitioned, or to
file a complaint or institute any proceeding at law or in equity to have such
property of the Partnership partitioned, and each Partner, on behalf of itself
and its successors and assigns hereby waives any such right.  It is the intention of the Partners that the
rights of the parties hereto and their successors-in-interest to Partnership
property, as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of this
Agreement, and that the rights of the Partners and their successors-in-interest
shall be subject to the limitations and restrictions as set forth in this
Agreement.

 

Section 15.13         No
Third-Party Rights Created Hereby. 
The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining
the interests of the Partners, inter  se; and no other person,
firm or entity (i.e., a party who is not a signatory hereto or a
permitted successor to such signatory hereto) shall have any right, power,
title or interest by way of subrogation or otherwise, in and to the rights,
powers, title and provisions of this Agreement.  No creditor or other third party having dealings with the
Partnership (other than as expressly set forth herein with respect to
Indemnitees) shall have the right to enforce the right or obligation of any
Partner to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or to pursue
any other right or remedy hereunder or at law or in equity.  None of the rights or obligations of the
Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the
Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the Partnership for any purpose by any
creditor or other third party, nor may any such rights or obligations be sold,
transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered by the
Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation of the Partnership or any of
the Partners.

 

Section 15.14         No
Rights as Stockholders.  Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon the Holders
of Partnership Units any rights whatsoever as stockholders of the General
Partner, including without limitation any right to receive dividends or other
distributions made to stockholders of the General Partner or to vote or to
consent or receive notice as stockholders in respect of any meeting of
stockholders for the election of directors of the General Partner or any other
matter; provided, however, that the Limited Partners owning
Paired Common Units shall have all rights as holders of Special Voting Shares
as shall be provided to such holders in the Charter.

 

Section 15.15         Creditors.  Other than as expressly set forth herein
with respect to Indemnitees, none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
for the benefit of, or shall be enforceable by, any creditor of the
Partnership.

EXAMPLES REGARDING ADJUSTMENT FACTOR

 

For
purposes of the following examples, it is assumed that (a) the Adjustment
Factor in effect on December 30 , 2002 is 1.0 and (b) on January 1,
2003 (the “Partnership Record Date” for purposes of these examples),
prior to the events described in the examples, there are 100 REIT Shares issued
and outstanding.

 

Example 1

 

On
the Partnership Record Date, the General Partner declares a dividend on its
outstanding REIT Shares in REIT Shares. 
The amount of the dividend is one REIT Share paid in respect of each
REIT Share owned.  Pursuant to Paragraph
(i) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be
adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the stock
dividend is declared, as follows:

 

 

Accordingly,
the Adjustment Factor after the stock dividend is declared is 2.0.

 

Example 2

 

On
the Partnership Record Date, the General Partner distributes options to
purchase REIT Shares to all holders of its REIT Shares.  The amount of the distribution is one option
to acquire one REIT Share in respect of each REIT Share owned.  The strike price is $4.00 a share.  The Value of a REIT Share on the Partnership
Record Date is $5.00 per share. 
Pursuant to Paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the
Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on the Partnership Record Date, effective
immediately after the options are distributed, as follows:

 

 

Accordingly,
the Adjustment Factor after the options are distributed is 1.1111.  If the options expire or become no longer
exercisable, then the retroactive adjustment specified in Paragraph (ii) of the
definition of “Adjustment Factor” shall apply.

 

Example 3

 

On
the Partnership Record Date, the General Partner distributes assets to all
holders of its REIT Shares.  The amount
of the distribution is one asset with a fair market value (as determined by the
General Partner) of $1.00 in respect of each REIT Share owned.  It is also assumed that the assets do not
relate to assets received by the General Partner pursuant to a pro rata
distribution by the Partnership.  The
Value of a REIT Share on the Partnership Record Date is $5.00 a share.  Pursuant to Paragraph (iii) of the
definition of “Adjustment Factor,” the Adjustment Factor shall be adjusted on
the Partnership Record Date, effective immediately after the assets are
distributed, as follows:

 

B-1

 

 

Accordingly,
the Adjustment Factor after the assets are distributed is 1.25.
