STOCK
      OPTION AGREEMENT

    

    THIS
      STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT
      (this
“Agreement”) is entered into as of November 11, 2008 by and between RICHARD H.
      PAPALIAN (the “Optionee”) and Sionix Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the
“Corporation”). The foregoing parties are sometimes referred to hereinafter
      individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties.” All capitalized
      terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the definitions ascribed to them
      in the Grant Notice.

    

    WHEREAS,
      in
      connection with the Termination, Separation and Release Agreement between the
      Corporation and the Optionee, dated the date hereof, the Corporation has agreed
      to issue to the Optionee a new option to purchase shares of its common stock
      pursuant to the Notice of Grant of Stock Option dated the date hereof (the
      “Option”).

     

    WHEREAS,
      the
      Optionee and the Corporation wish to memorialize in writing the terms and
      conditions applicable to the Option, as provided herein and in the Grant
      Notice.

     

    NOW,
      THEREFORE,
      in
      consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth,
      and
      for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
      are hereby acknowledged, the Parties do hereby covenant and agree as
      follows:

    

    1.    Grant
      of Option.
      The
      Corporation hereby grants to the Optionee, as of the Grant Date, an Option
      to
      purchase up to the aggregate number of Option Shares specified in the Grant
      Notice. The Option Shares shall be purchasable from time to time during the
      Option term specified in Paragraph 2 below at the Exercise Price. 

    

    2.    Option
      Term.
      The
      Option shall have a term of five (5) years measured from the Grant Date and
      shall accordingly expire at the close of business on the Expiration Date, unless
      sooner terminated pursuant to Paragraph 4 or 7 of this Agreement. 

    

    3.    Limited
      Transferability.
      

     

    (a) During
      the Optionee’s lifetime, the Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee
      and shall not be assignable or transferable other than by will or by the laws
      of
      descent and distribution following the Optionee’s death. However, Optionee may
      designate one or more persons as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of this
      Option, so that, if Optionee is holding this Option at the time of his or her
      death, this Option shall, in accordance with such designation, automatically
      be
      transferred to such beneficiary or beneficiaries upon Optionee’s death. Such
      beneficiary or beneficiaries shall take the transferred Option subject to all
      the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including (without limitation)
      the
      limited time period during which this option may, pursuant to Paragraph 6(c),
      be
      exercised following Optionee’s death.

     

    (b) If
      this
      option is designated a Non-Statutory Option in the Grant Notice, then this
      Option may be assigned in whole or in part during Optionee’s lifetime to one or
      more members of Optionee’s family (as defined in Rule 701 promulgated by the
      Securities and Exchange Commission) or to a trust established for the benefit
      of
      one or more such family members or to Optionee’s former spouse, to the extent
      such assignment is in connection with Optionee’s estate plan or pursuant to a
      domestic relations order. The assigned portion shall be exercisable only by
      the
      person or persons who acquire a proprietary interest in the Option pursuant
      to
      such assignment. The terms applicable to the assigned portion shall be the
      same
      as those in effect for this Option immediately prior to such assignment.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (c) Anything
      herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Optionee sell
      prior to January 1, 2009 (the “Lock-Up Period”) any shares of Common Stock
      acquired upon exercise of the Option. The Optionee consents to the placement
      of
      a legend to that effect on any Common Stock certificates issued to the Optionee
      during the Lock-Up Period upon exercise of the Option.

    

    4.    Vesting
      Schedule.
      The
      Option shall vest according to the vesting schedule provided in the Grant
      Notice. 

    

    5.    Representations
      of the Optionee.
      The
      Optionee hereby represents as follows:

     

    (a)
      The
      Optionee either has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the
      Corporation or any of its officers, directors or controlling persons, or by
      reason of his business or financial experience or the business or financial
      experience of his professional advisors who are unaffiliated with and who are
      not compensated by the Corporation or any affiliate or selling agent of the
      Corporation, directly or indirectly, could be reasonably assumed to have the
      capacity to protect his own interests in connection with the transaction.

     

    (b)
      The
      Optionee is acquiring the Option and, upon exercise, the Option Shares, for
      his
      own account and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
      distribution thereof. 

     

    (c)
      The
      Optionee did not learn of the offer and sale of the Option through the
      publication of any advertisement. 

     

    6.    [Intentionally
      Omitted]

    

    7.    Corporate
      Transactions.

    

    (a) In
      the
      event of  (i)
      a
      dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, (ii) a merger or consolidation
      in
      which the Corporation is not the surviving corporation (other than a merger
      or
      consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary, a reincorporation of the
      Corporation in a different jurisdiction, or other transaction in which there
      is
      no substantial change in the stockholders of the Corporation or their relative
      stock holdings), (iii) a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving
      corporation but after which the stockholders of the Corporation immediately
      prior to such merger (other than any stockholder that merges, or which owns
      or
      controls another corporation that merges, with the Corporation in such merger)
      cease to own their shares or other equity interest in the Corporation, (iv)
      the
      sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or (v) the
      acquisition, sale, or transfer of more than 50% of the outstanding shares or
      the
      Corporation by tender offer or similar transaction (each, a “Corporate
      Transaction”), the Corporation shall provide written notice to the Optionee of
      such Corporate Transaction no less than 15 business days prior to the
      consummation thereof.

    

    (b) Immediately
      following the consummation of the Corporate Transaction, the Option shall
      terminate and cease to be outstanding.

    

    (c) This
      Agreement shall not in any way affect the right of the Corporation to adjust,
      reclassify, reorganize or otherwise change its capital or business structure
      or
      to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate or sell or transfer all or any part
      of its business or assets.

     

    8.    Adjustment
      in Option Shares.
      Should
      any change be made to the Common Stock by reason of any stock split, stock
      dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other
      change affecting the outstanding Common Stock as a class without the
      Corporation’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to
      (a) the total number and/or class of securities subject to this option and
      (b)
      the Exercise Price in order to reflect such change and thereby preclude a
      dilution or enlargement of benefits hereunder.

    9.    Shareholder
      Rights.
      The
      Optionee shall not have any shareholder rights with respect to the Option Shares
      until the Optionee shall have exercised the Option in accordance with this
      Agreement and become a holder of record of the purchased shares.

    

    10.    Manner
      of Exercising Option.

    

    (a) In
      order
      to exercise the Option with respect to all or any part of the Option Shares,
      the
      Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the option) must take the
      following actions:

    

    (i) Execute
      and deliver to the Corporation a written notice setting forth the number of
      Option Shares for which the Option is exercised.

    

    (ii) Pay
      the
      aggregate Exercise Price for the purchased shares in cash or in one or more
      of
      the following forms:

    

    (A) by
      cancellation of indebtedness of the Corporation to the Optionee;

    

    (B) by
      surrender of shares of Common Stock that either: (1) have been owned by the
      Optionee for more than six (6) months and have been paid for within the meaning
      of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (and,
      if
      such shares were purchased from the Corporation by use of a promissory note,
      such note has been fully paid with respect to such shares); or (2) were obtained
      by the Optionee in the public market;

    

    (C) with
      respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public
      market for the Corporation’s stock exists:

    

    (1) through
      a
“same day sale” commitment from the Optionee and a broker-dealer that is a
      member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (an “FINRA Dealer”)
      whereby the Optionee irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to sell
      a
      portion of the shares so purchased to pay for the Exercise Price, and whereby
      the FINRA Dealer irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward
      the
      Exercise Price directly to the Corporation; or

    

    (2) through
      a
“margin” commitment from the Optionee and a FINRA Dealer whereby the Optionee
      irrevocably elects to exercise the Option and to pledge the shares so purchased
      to the FINRA Dealer in a margin account as security for a loan from the FINRA
      Dealer in the amount of the Exercise Price, and whereby the FINRA Dealer
      irrevocably commits upon receipt of such shares to forward the Exercise Price
      directly to the Corporation; or

    

    (D) by
      any
      combination of the foregoing. 

    

    Except
      to
      the extent the sale and remittance procedure is utilized in connection with
      the
      Option exercise, payment of the Exercise Price in one of the forms provided
      above must accompany the written notice delivered to the Corporation in
      connection with the Option exercise.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    

    (iii) Furnish
      to the Corporation appropriate documentation that the person or persons
      exercising the Option (if other than Optionee) have the right to exercise the
      Option.

    

    (iv) Execute
      and deliver to the Corporation such written representations as may be requested
      by the Corporation in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements
      of
      federal and state securities laws.

    

    (v) Make
      appropriate arrangements with the Corporation for the satisfaction of all
      federal, state and local income and employment tax withholding requirements
      applicable to the Option exercise.

    

    (b) As
      soon
      as practical after the exercise date, the Corporation shall issue to or on
      behalf of the Optionee (or any other person or persons exercising the Option)
      a
      certificate for the purchased Option Shares, with the appropriate legends
      affixed thereto.

    

    (c) Fractions
      of Option Shares will not be issued but will either be replaced by a cash
      payment equal to the fair market value of such fraction of an Option Share
      (based on the closing price of the Common Stock reported by Bloomberg LP on
      the
      replacement date) or will be rounded up to the nearest whole share of Common
      Stock, as determined by the Corporation.

    

    11.    Compliance
      with Laws and Regulations.
      The
      exercise of the Option and the issuance of the Option Shares upon such exercise
      shall be subject to compliance by the Corporation and the Optionee with all
      applicable requirements of law relating thereto and with all applicable
      regulations of any national securities exchange or interdealer quotation system
      on which the Corporation’s Common Stock may be listed or quoted at the time of
      such exercise and issuance.

    

    12.    Successors
      and Assigns.
      Except
      to the extent otherwise provided in Paragraph 3, the provisions of this
      Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Corporation
      and its successors and assigns and the Optionee, the Optionee’s assigns and the
      legal representatives, heirs and legatees of the Optionee’s estate.

    

    13.    Notices.
      Any
      notice required to be given or delivered to the Corporation under the terms
      of
      this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the Corporation at its
      principal executive offices. Any notice required to be given or delivered to
      the
      Optionee shall be in writing and addressed to the Optionee at the last address
      the Optionee filed in writing with the Corporation. All notices shall be deemed
      effective upon personal delivery or upon deposit in the U.S. mail, postage
      prepaid and properly addressed to the Party to be notified.

    

    14.    Governing
      Law.
      The
      interpretation, performance and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed
      by the laws of the State of California without resort to that State’s
      conflict-of-laws rules.

      absolute discretion, in such amounts and at such times as it solely shall

    4.3
      Issuance
      of Additional Partnership Interests; Admission of Additional Limited
      Partners

     

    (a)
      In
      addition to any Partnership Interests issuable by the Partnership pursuant
      to
      Section 4.2, the General Partner is authorized to cause the Partnership to
      issue
      additional Partnership Interests (or options therefor) in the form of
      Partnership Units or other Partnership Interests in one or more series or
      classes, or in one or more series of any such class senior or junior to the
      Partnership Units to any Persons at any time or from time to time, on such
      terms
      and conditions, as the General Partner shall establish in each case in its
      sole
      and absolute discretion subject to Delaware law, including, without limitation,
      (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and
      credit to each class or series of Partnership Interests, (ii) the right of
      each
      class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions,
      and (iii) the rights of each class or series of Partnership Interest upon
      dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided,
      that
      , no
      such Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless either
      (a) the Partnership Interests are issued in connection with the grant, award,
      or
      issuance of REIT Stock or other equity interests in the General Partner having
      designations, preferences and other rights such that the economic interests
      attributable to such REIT Stock or other equity interests are substantially
      similar to the designations, preferences and other rights (except voting rights)
      of the Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner in accordance with
      this Section 4.3(a) or (b) the additional Partnership Interests are issued
      to
      all Partners holding Partnership Interests in the same class in proportion
      to
      their respective Percentage Interests in such class, without any approval being
      required from any Limited Partner or any other Person; and provided, however,
      that

     

    (i)
      such
      issuance does not cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any employee
      benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, a “party
      in interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person”
(as defined in Section 4975(e) of the Code); and

     

    (ii)
      such
      issuance would not cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to
      constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Section 2510.3-101
      of
      the regulations of the United States Department of Labor.

     

    (b)
      Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.3(a), the General Partner
      may
      take such steps as it, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems necessary
      or
      appropriate to admit any Person as a Limited Partner of the Partnership or
      to
      issue any Partnership Interests, including, without limitation, amending the
      Certificate, Exhibit A or any other provision of this Agreement.

     

    4.4
      Contribution
      of Proceeds of Issuance of REIT Stock 

     

    In
      connection with any offering, grant, award, or issuance of REIT Stock or
      securities, rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities
      pursuant to Section 4.2, the General Partner shall make aggregate
      Capital Contributions to the Partnership of the proceeds raised in connection
      with such offering, grant, award, or issuance, including any property issued
      to
      the General Partner pursuant to a merger or contribution agreement in exchange
      for Common Stock; provided, however, that if the proceeds actually received
      by
      the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such offering, grant,
      award, or issuance as a result of any underwriter’s discount, commission, or fee
      or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such offering, grant,
      award, or issuance, then the General Partner shall be deemed to have made a
      Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount of the gross proceeds
      of
      such issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have paid
      pursuant to Section 7.3(c) for the amount of such underwriter’s discount or
      other expenses.

      REIT Stock for the purpose of delivering such REIT Stock to satisfy an
      obligation under any distribution reinvestment program adopted by the General
      Partner, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the General Partner, or
      any
      other obligation or arrangement undertaken by the General Partner in the future,
      the purchase price paid by the General Partner for such REIT Stock and any
      other
      expenses incurred by the General Partner in connection with such purchase shall
      be considered expenses of the Partnership and shall be reimbursed to the General
      Partner, subject to the condition that:

     

    (i)
      if
      such REIT Stock subsequently is to be sold by the General Partner, the General
      Partner shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds received by the General
      Partner from the sale of such REIT Stock (provided that an exchange of REIT
      Stock for Partnership Units pursuant to the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement
      would not be considered a sale for such purposes); and

     

    (ii)
      if
      such REIT Stock is not re-transferred by the General Partner within 30 days
      after the purchase thereof, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership
      to
      cancel a number of Partnership Units held by the General Partner (as applicable)
      equal to the product of

     

    (x)
      the
      number of shares of such REIT Stock, multiplied by

     

    (y)
      a
      fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the
      Exchange Factor in effect on the date of such cancellation.

     

    (b)
      In
      the event the General Partner purchases Shares-in-Trust (as from time to time
      defined in the Articles of Incorporation, as may be amended from time to time),
      the Partnership will purchase from the General Partner a number of Partnership
      Units equal to the product of

     

    (i)
      the
      number of Shares-in-Trust purchased by the General Partner, multiplied
      by

     

    (ii)
      a
      fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the
      Exchange Factor in effect on the date of such purchase.

     

    4.6
      No
      Third-Party Beneficiary

     

    No
      creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have

      Contributions or loans or to pursue any other right or remedy hereunder or
      at
      law or in equity, it being understood and agreed that the provisions of this

    (c)
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, in no event will
      the
      Acquisition Fees, Acquisition Expenses and Asset Management Fee paid to the
      Initial Limited Partner, plus the subordinated payments payable by the
      Partnership to the Sponsor (“Program Structure”) exceed the sum of (i) an amount
      equal to 6 percent of the gross Contract Purchase Price of all Properties
      acquired by the General Partner; (ii) an amount determined annually
      (“Asset
      Management Amount”)
      equal
      in the aggregate to the greater of 2 percent of the Average Invested Assets
      or
      25 percent of the GP Net Income after reducing such Asset Management Amount
      by
      those Total Operating Expenses as defined in the Guidelines that exclude the
      asset management amount; (iii) an amount equal to the Disposition Fees, if
      any,
      but not to exceed 3 percent of the contract sales price of all Properties sold
      by the General Partner; and (iv) an amount equal to 15 percent of the GP Net
      Sales Proceeds, if any, remaining after the payment to the shareholders of
      the
      General Partner in the aggregate of an amount equal to 100 percent of the
      original issue price of their shares plus an amount equal to 6 percent of the
      original issue price of the General Partner’s shares per annum, cumulative
      (“Guideline
      Structure”).
      For
      purposes of determining compliance with this undertaking, the comparison between
      the Program Structure and the Guideline Structure shall be determined on an
      annual basis at the end of each fiscal year of the General Partner
      (“Comparison
      Date”).
      To
      the extent that at the Comparison Date the Program Structure amount exceeds
      the
      Guideline Structure amount, the Sponsor shall return such excess to the
      shareholders within 30 days after the Comparison Date.

    (x)
      violate applicable Delaware law or

     

    (y)
      contravene the terms of any notes, mortgages or other types of debt obligations
      to which the Partnership may be subject in conjunction with borrowed

      and other entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be
      allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the
      General Partner in its reasonable discretion deems fair and reasonable. All
      payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income
      tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not
      as
      expenses of the General Partner.

     

    (c)   
         (i) Expenses incurred by the General Partner relating to the
      organization or reorganization of the Partnership and the General Partner the

      costs and expenses associated with the preparation and filing of any periodic

      (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses, damages, and other payments
      resulting from or arising in connection with litigation related to any of the
      foregoing) are primarily obligations of the Partnership.

     

    (ii)
      To
      the extent the General Partner pays or incurs such expenses, the General Partner
      shall be reimbursed for such expenses.

      discretion of the General Partner.

      Entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and

      as
      the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may
      determine.

     

    (c)
      Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General Partner

    7.6
      Indemnification

     

    (a)
      (i)
      The Partnership shall indemnify each Indemnitee from and against any and all
      losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including,
      without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ 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 (collectively, “Claims”), that relate to the
      operations of the Partnership or the General Partner as set forth in this
      Agreement, in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be
      involved, as a party or otherwise, so long as (x) the course of conduct which
      gave rise to the Claim was taken, in the reasonable determination of the
      Indemnitee made in good faith, in the best interests of the Partnership or
      the
      General Partner, (y) such Claim was not the result of negligence or misconduct
      by the Indemnitee and (z) such indemnification is not satisfied or recoverable
      from the assets of the stockholders of the General Partner. Notwithstanding
      the
      foregoing, no Indemnitee shall be indemnified for any Claim arising from or
      out
      of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws unless (x) there
      has
      been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged
      securities law violations as to such Indemnitee, (y) such allegations have
      been
      dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction
      as
      to such Indemnitee, or (z) a court of competent jurisdiction approves a
      settlement of such allegations against such Indemnitee and finds that
      indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and
      the
      court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the
      position of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the published position
      of any state securities regulatory authority in which the REIT Stock was offered
      or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities law.

     

    (ii)
      Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of
      any
      Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty (except a guaranty by a limited partner
      of nonrecourse indebtedness of the Partnership or as otherwise provided in
      any
      such loan guaranty), contractual obligation for any indebtedness or other
      obligation 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 7.6 in favor of any Indemnitee
      having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness.

     

    (iii)
      Any
      indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be made only out of the
      assets of the Partnership, and neither the General Partner nor the Associate
      General Partner or 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 7.6. 

     

    (b)
      Subject to Section 7.9(c), reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who
      is
      a party to a proceeding shall be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in
      advance of the final disposition of any and all claims, demands, actions, suits
      or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative made or
      threatened against an Indemnitee upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a
      written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that
      the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as
      authorized in this Section 7.6 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.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        21

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c)
      The
      indemnification provided by this Section 7.6 shall continue as to an Indemnitee
      who has ceased to serve in such capacity unless otherwise provided in a written
      agreement pursuant to which such Indemnities are indemnified.

     

    (d)
      The
      Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance,
      on behalf of the Indemnities 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)
      For
      purposes of this Section 7.6, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested
      an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan whenever the
      performance by such Indemnitee of its duties to the Partnership also imposes
      duties on, or otherwise involves services by, such Indemnitee to the plan or
      participants or beneficiaries of the plan; excise taxes assessed on an
      Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan pursuant to applicable
      law
      shall constitute fines within the meaning of this Section 7.6; and actions
      taken
      or omitted by the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan in the
      performance of its duties for a purpose reasonably believed by it to be in
      the
      interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed
      to be
      for a purpose which is not opposed to the best interests of the
      Partnership.

     

    (f)
      In no
      event may an Indemnitee subject any of the Partners (other than the General
      Partner) 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 7.6 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)   
         (i) The provisions of this Section 7.6 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.

     

    (ii)
      Any
      amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.6 or any provision hereof
      shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the Partnership’s
      liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.6, 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)
      If
      and to the extent any payments to the General Partner pursuant to this Section
      7.6 constitute gross income to the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment
      of advances made on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute
      guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall
      be
      treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall
      not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital
      Accounts.

     

    (j)
      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the General Partner
      shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any loss, claim, damage,
      liability or expense for which the General Partner is obligated to indemnify
      the
      Partnership under any other agreement between the General Partner and the
      Partnership.

      the General Partner nor the investment advisor of the General Partner, nor
      any
      of their respective officers and directors, shall be liable for monetary damages
      to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees for losses sustained or
      liabilities incurred as a result of errors in judgment or mistakes of fact
      or
      law or of any act or omission unless the General Partner or its investment
      advisor, as the case may be, acted in bad faith and the act or omission was
      material to the matter giving rise to the loss, liability or benefit not
      derived.

     

    (b)   
         (i) The Associate General Partner and the Limited Partners
      expressly acknowledge that the General Partner (and its investment advisor)

      collectively, that the General Partner (and its investment advisor), subject
      to
      the provisions of Section 7.1(e) hereof, is under no obligation to consider

      (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to the Associate General
      Partner, the Limited Partners or Assignees) in deciding whether to cause the
      Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions, and that the General
      Partner (and its investment advisor) shall not be liable for monetary damages
      for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited
      Partners or the Associate General Partner in connection with such decisions;
      provided that the General Partner (and its investment advisor) has acted in
      good
      faith.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (ii)
      With
      respect to any indebtedness of the Partnership which the Associate General
      Partner or any Limited Partner may have guaranteed, the General Partner (and
      its
      investment advisor) shall have no duty to keep such indebtedness
      outstanding.

     

    (c)  
          (i) 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 agent, including
      its investment advisor.

     

    (ii)
      The
      General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on
      the
      part of any such agent appointed by the General Partner in good
      faith.

     

    (d)
      The
      Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that in the event of any conflict in
      the
      fiduciary duties owed by the General Partner to its stockholders and by the
      General Partner, in its capacity as a general partner of the Partnership, to
      the
      Associate General Partner or the Limited Partners, the General Partner may
      act
      in the best interests of the General Partner’s stockholders without violating
      its fiduciary duties to the Associate General Partner and the Limited Partners,
      and that the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses
      sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by the Associate
      General Partner or the Limited Partners in connection with any such
      violation.

     

    (e)
      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 limitations on
      the
      General Partner’s and its officers’ and directors’ liability to the Partnership
      and the Limited Partners 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

      the
      Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would otherwise

    (B)
      the
      General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such

      would, but for such payment, be distributed to the Associate General Partner
      or
      the Limited Partner, as applicable.

     

    (ii)

      the
      payment to the Partnership on behalf of such defaulting Associate General
      Partner or Limited Partner, and in such event shall be deemed to have loaned
      such amount to such defaulting Associate General Partner or Limited Partner
      and
      shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership as against such
      defaulting Associate General Partner or Limited Partner, as
      applicable.

     

    (B)
      Without limitation, in such event, the General Partner shall have the right to
      receive distributions that would otherwise be distributable to such defaulting
      Associate General Partner or Limited Partner until such time as such loan,
      together with all interest thereon, has been paid in full, and any such
      distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having
      been
      distributed to the defaulting Associate General Partner or Limited Partner
      and
      immediately paid by the defaulting Associate General Partner or Limited Partner
      to the General Partner in repayment of such loan.

     

    (iii)
      Any
      amount payable by the Associate General Partner or a Limited Partner hereunder
      shall bear interest at the highest base or prime rate of interest published
      from
      time to time by any of Citibank, N.A. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., plus four
      (4) percentage points, but in no event higher than the maximum lawful rate
      of
      interest on such obligation, such interest to accrue from the date such amount
      is due (i.e., fifteen (15) days after demand) until such amount is paid in
      full.

    (iv)
      The
      Associate General Partner and 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.

    (a)   
         (i) The term “Transfer,” when used in this Article 11 with
      respect to a Partnership Interest or a Partnership Unit, shall be deemed to
      refer to a transaction by which the General Partner purports to assign all
      or
      any part of its General Partner Interest to another Person, the Associate
      General Partner purports to assign all or any part of its Associate General
      Partner Interest to another Person or a Limited Partner purports to assign
      all
      or any part of its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and includes
      a
      sale, assignment, gift, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange
      or any other disposition by law or otherwise.

     

    (ii)
      The
      term “Transfer” when used in this Article 11 does not include any exchange of
      Partnership Units for cash or REIT Stock pursuant to the Exchange Rights
      Agreement.

     

    (b)  
         (i) 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.

     

    (ii)
      Any
      Transfer or purported Transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance
      with this Article 11 shall be null and void. 

     

    11.2
      Transfer
      of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest

     

    (a)
      The
      General Partner may not Transfer any of its General Partner Interest or withdraw
      as General Partner, or Transfer any of its Limited Partner Interest,
      except

     

    (i)
      if
      holders of at least two-thirds of the Limited Partner Interests consent to
      such
      Transfer or withdrawal,

     

    (ii)
      if
      such Transfer is to an entity which is wholly owned by the General Partner
      and
      is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary as defined in Section 856(i) of the Code,
      or

     

    (iii)
      in
      connection with a transaction described in Section 11.2(c) or 11.2(d) (as
      applicable)

     

    (b)
      In
      the event the General Partner withdraws as general partner of the Partnership
      in
      accordance with Section 11.2(a), the General Partner’s General Partner Interest
      shall immediately be converted into a Limited Partner Interest.

     

    (c)
      Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2(d), the General Partner shall
      not
      engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination of the General Partner
      with or into another Person (other than a merger in which the General Partner
      is
      the surviving entity) or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, or
      any
      reclassification, or any recapitalization of outstanding REIT Stock (other
      than
      a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of
      a
      subdivision or combination of REIT Stock) (a “ Transaction”),
      unless

     

    (i)
      in
      connection with the Transaction all Limited Partners will either receive, or
      will have the right to elect to receive, for each Partnership Unit an amount
      of
      cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the Exchange Factor
      and the amount of cash, securities or other property or value paid in the
      Transaction to or received by a holder of one share of REIT Stock corresponding
      to such Partnership Unit in consideration of one share of REIT Stock at any
      time
      during the period from and after the date on which the Transaction is
      consummated; provided that if, in connection with the Transaction, a purchase,
      tender or exchange offer (“Offer”) shall have been made to and accepted by the
      holders of more than 50% of the outstanding REIT Stock, each holder of
      Partnership Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units
      for the amount of cash, securities, or other property which a Limited Partner
      would have received had it

     

    (A)
      exercised its Exchange Right and

     

    (B)
      sold,
      tendered or exchanged pursuant to the Offer the REIT Stock received upon
      exercise of the Exchange Right immediately prior to the expiration of the
      Offer.

     

    The
      foregoing is not intended to, and does not, affect the ability of (i) a
      stockholder of the General Partner to sell its stock in the General Partner
      or
      (ii) the General Partner to perform its obligations (under agreement or
      otherwise) to such stockholders (including the fulfillment of any obligations
      with respect to registering the sale of stock under applicable securities
      laws).

     

    (d)
      (i)
      Notwithstanding Section 11.2(c), the General Partner may merge into or
      consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or
      consolidation

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (A)
      substantially all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the
“Surviving General Partner”), other than Partnership Units held by the General
      Partner, are contributed to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution in
      exchange for Partnership Units with a fair market value equal to the value
      of
      the assets so contributed as determined by the Surviving General Partner in
      good
      faith and

     

    (B)
      the
      Surviving General Partner expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the
      General Partner hereunder.

     

    (ii)
      (A)
      Upon such contribution and assumption, the Surviving General Partner shall
      have
      the right and duty to amend this Agreement and the Exchange Rights Agreement
      as
      set forth in this Section 11.2(d). 

     

    (B)   
       (1) The Surviving General Partner shall in good faith arrive at a new
      method for the calculation of the Exchange Factor for a Partnership Unit after
      any such merger or consolidation so as to approximate the existing method for
      such calculation as closely as reasonably possible.

     

    (2)
      Such
      calculation shall take into account, among other things, the kind and amount
      of
      securities, cash and other property that was receivable upon such merger or
      consolidation by a holder of REIT Stock or options, warrants or other rights
      relating thereto, and which a holder of Partnership Units could have acquired
      had such Partnership Units been redeemed for REIT Stock immediately prior to
      such merger or consolidation.

     

    (C)
      Such
      amendment to this Agreement shall provide for adjustment to such method of
      calculation, which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the
      adjustments provided for with respect to the Exchange Factor.

     

    (iii)
      The
      above provisions of this Section 11.2(d) shall similarly apply to successive
      mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder.

     

    11.3
      Limited
      Partners’ and Associate General Partner’s Rights to
      Transfer

     

    (a)
      Subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3(c), 11.3(d), 11.3(e), 11.4 and 11.6,
      a Limited Partner and the Associate General Partner may, without the consent
      of
      the General Partner, Transfer all or any portion of its Limited Partner Interest
      or Associate General Partner Interest, as the case may be, or any of such
      Limited Partner’s or Associate General Partner’s economic right as a Limited
      Partner or Associate General Partner, as applicable. In order to effect such
      transfer, the Limited Partner or Associate General Partner, as applicable,
      must
      deliver to the General Partner a duly executed copy of the instrument making
      such transfer and such instrument must evidence the written acceptance by the
      assignee of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and represent
      that
      such assignment was made in accordance with all applicable laws and
      regulations.

     

    (b)     
       (i) If a Limited Partner or Associate General Partner is Incapacitated,
      the executor, administrator, trustee, committee, guardian, conservator or
      receiver of such Limited Partner’s or Associate General Partner’s estate shall
      have all of the rights of a Limited Partner or Associate General Partner, as
      the
      case may be, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners
      or
      Associate General Partner respectively, for the purpose of settling or managing
      the estate and such power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner or Associate
      General Partner possessed to Transfer all or any part of his or its interest
      in
      the Partnership.

     

    (ii)
      The
      Incapacity of a Limited Partner or Associate General Partner, in and of itself,
      shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

     

    (c)
      The
      General Partner may prohibit any Transfer by a Limited Partner or Associate
      General Partner of its Partnership Units if, in the opinion of legal counsel
      to
      the Partnership, such Transfer would require filing of a registration statement
      under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or would otherwise violate any
      federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership
      or
      the Partnership Units.

     

    (d)
      No
      Transfer by a Limited Partner or Associate General Partner of its Partnership
      Units may be made to any Person if

     

    (i)
      in
      the opinion of legal counsel of the Partnership, it would adversely affect
      the
      ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or would subject
      the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981
      of
      the Code;

     

    (ii)
      in
      the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it would result in the
      Partnership being treated as an association taxable as a corporation for federal
      income tax purposes;

     

    (iii)
      such Transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any
      employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as
      defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in
      Section 4975(c) of the Code);

     

    (iv)
      such
      Transfer would, in the opinion of legal counsel for 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;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (v)
      such
      Transfer would subject the Partnership to regulation under the Investment
      Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee
      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended;

     

    (vi)
      without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in
      its
      sole and absolute discretion, such Transfer is a sale or exchange, and such
      sale
      or exchange would, when aggregated with all other sales and exchanges during
      the
      12-month period ending on the date of the proposed Transfer, result in 50%
      or
      more of the interests in Partnership capital and profits being sold or exchanged
      during such 12-month period; or

     

    (vii)
      such Transfer is effectuated through an “established securities market” or a
“secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of
      Section 7704 of the Code.

     

    (e)
      No
      transfer of any Partnership Units may be made to a lender to the Partnership
      or
      any Person who is related (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-4(b))
      to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a nonrecourse liability
      (within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-1(a)(2)), without the consent
      of the General Partner, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute
      discretion, provided that as a condition to such consent the lender will be
      required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General
      Partner to exchange for the Cash Amount (as such term is defined in the Exchange
      Rights Agreement) any Partnership Units in which a security interest is held
      simultaneously with the time at which such lender would be deemed to be a
      partner in the Partnership for purposes of allocating liabilities to such lender
      under Section 752 of the Code.

     

    (f)
      Any
      Transfer in contravention of any of the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall
      be
      void and ineffectual and shall not be binding upon, or recognized by, the
      Partnership.

     

    11.4
      Substituted
      Limited Partners

     

    (a)    
        (i) No Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a
      Permitted Transferee for a Limited Partner in its place.

     

    (ii)
      The
      General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission
      of a
      Permitted Transferee of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner pursuant
      to this Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, which consent may be
      given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
      discretion.

     

    (iii)
      The
      General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit such transferee to become a
      Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action against
      the Partnership or any Partner.

     

    (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)   
         (i) No Permitted Transferee will be admitted as a Substituted
      Limited Partner unless such transferee has furnished to the General
      Partner

     

    (A)
      evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of
      the
      terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Exchange Rights Agreement,
      including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4
      hereof, and 

     

    (B)
      such
      other documents or instruments as may be required in the reasonable discretion
      of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as a
      Substituted Limited Partner.

     

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

     

    11.5
      Substituted
      Associate General Partners

     

    (a)   
         (i) No Associate General Partner shall have the right to
      substitute a Permitted Transferee for an Associate General Partner in its
      place.

     

    (ii)
      The
      General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission
      of a
      Permitted Transferee of the Partnership Interest of an Associate General Partner
      pursuant to this Section 11.5 as a Substituted Associate General Partner, which
      consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute
      discretion.

     

    (iii)
      The
      General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit such transferee to become a
      Substituted Associate General Partner shall not give rise to any cause of action
      against the Partnership or any Partner.

     

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

    (c)       (i)
      No Permitted Transferee will be admitted as a Substituted Associate General
      Partner unless such transferee has furnished to the General Partner

     

    (A)
      evidence of acceptance in form satisfactory to the General Partner of all of
      the
      terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Exchange Rights Agreement,
      including, without limitation, the power of attorney granted in Section 2.4
      hereof, and

     

    (B)
      such
      other documents or instruments as may be required in the reasonable discretion
      of the General Partner in order to effect such Person’s admission as a
      Substituted Associate General Partner.

     

    (ii)
      Upon
      the admission of a Substituted Associate General Partner, the General Partner
      shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units,
      and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Associate General Partner and to
      eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the
      predecessor of such Substituted Associate General Partner.

     

    11.6
      Assignees

     

    (a)
      If
      the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, does not consent
      to
      the admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner or Substituted
      Associate General Partner, as applicable, as described in Section 11.4(a),
      such
      transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this
      Agreement.

     

    (b)
      An
      Assignee shall be deemed to have had assigned to it, and shall be entitled
      to
      receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net
      Losses and any other items of gain, loss, deduction or credit of the Partnership
      attributable to the Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, but shall
      not
      be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other purpose under this
      Agreement, and shall not be entitled to vote such Partnership Units in any
      matter presented to the Limited Partners and Associate General Partner, for
      a
      vote (such Partnership Units being deemed to have been voted on such matter
      in
      the same proportion as all other Partnership Units held by Limited Partners
      and
      the Associate General Partner are voted). 

     

    (c)
      In
      the event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such
      Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all of the provisions
      of
      this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner
      or Associate General Partner desiring to make an assignment of Partnership
      Units.

     

    11.7
      General
      Provisions

     

    (a)
      No
      Limited Partner or Associate General Partner may withdraw from the Partnership

    (ii)
      Similarly, any Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of its partnership

      the
      Code, using the interim closing of the books method.

     

    (ii)
      Solely for purposes of making such allocations, each of such items for the
      calendar month in which the Transfer or assignment occurs shall be allocated
      to
      the transferee Partner, and none of such items for the calendar month in which
      an exchange occurs shall be allocated to the exchanging Partner, provided,
      however, that the General Partner may adopt such other conventions relating
      to
      allocations in connection with transfers, assignments, or exchanges as it
      determines are necessary or appropriate.

     

    (iii)
      All
      distributions of Available Cash attributable to Partnership Units, with respect
      to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such Transfer,
      assignment, or exchange of such Partnership Units, shall be made to the
      transferor Partner or the exchanging Partner, as the case may be, and in the
      case of a Transfer or assignment other than an exchange, all distributions
      of
      Available Cash thereafter attributable to such Partnership Units shall be made
      to the transferee Partner.

    (e)
      In
      addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including
      without limitation the provisions of this Article 11, in no event may any
      Transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including
      pursuant to Section 8.6) be made without the express consent of the General
      Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) to any person or entity who
      lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii)
      in
      violation of applicable law; (iii) of any component portion of a Partnership
      Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate
      and
      apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) if in the
      opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer would cause a
      termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes (except
      as a result of the exchange for REIT Stock of all Partnership Units held by
      all
      Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section
      7.11 or Section 11.2); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership,
      such
      transfer would cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a partnership
      for federal income tax
      purposes
      (except as a result of the exchange for REIT Stock of all Partnership Units
      held
      by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under
      Section 7.11 or Section 11.2); (vi) if such transfer requires the registration
      of such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state
      securities laws; (vii) if such transfer is effectuated through an “established
      securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent
      thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code or such transfer causes
      the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” as such term is
      defined in Section 469(k)(2) or Section 7704(b) of the Code (provided that
      this
      clause (vii) shall not be the basis for limiting or restricting in any manner
      the exercise of the Exchange Right under Section 8.6 unless, and only to the
      extent that, outside tax counsel provides to the General Partner an opinion
      to
      the effect that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is
      a
      significant risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded
      partnership” and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation); (viii) such
      transfer could adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to remain
      qualified as a REIT; or (ix) if in the opinion of legal counsel of the
      transferring Partner (which opinion and counsel are reasonably satisfactory
      to
      the Partnership), or legal counsel of the Partnership, such transfer would
      adversely affect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify
      as a
      REIT or subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857
      or
      Section 4981 of the Code, in the event that the General Partner has elected
      to
      be qualified as a REIT.

     

    (f)
      The
      General Partner shall monitor the transfers of interests in the Partnership
      to
      determine (i) if such interests are being traded on an “established securities
      market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within
      the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code; and (ii) whether additional transfers
      of interests would result in the Partnership being unable to qualify for at
      least one of the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or
      such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors
      under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on a secondary
      market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section
      7704 of the Code) (the “Safe Harbors”). The General Partner shall take all steps
      reasonably necessary or appropriate to prevent any trading of interests or
      any
      recognition by the Partnership of transfers made on such markets and, except
      as
      otherwise provided herein, to insure that at least one of the Safe Harbors
      is
      met; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not authorize the General
      Partner to limit or restrict in any manner the right of any holder of a
      Partnership Unit to exercise the Exchange Right in accordance with the terms
      of
      the applicable Exchange Rights Agreement unless, and only to the extent that,
      outside tax counsel provides to the General Partner an opinion to the effect
      that, in the absence of such limitation or restriction, there is a significant
      risk that the Partnership will be treated as a “publicly traded partnership”
and, by reason thereof, taxable as a corporation.

      equal
      to the sum of the First Level Return and the Net Investment;

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

      distributions pursuant to this Section 13.2(a) shall be made by the end of
      the
      Partnership’s taxable year in which the liquidation occurs (or, if later, within
      90 days after the date of the liquidation).

     

    (b)   
         (i) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2(a) hereof
      which 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 asset except those necessary to satisfy
      liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) 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.

     

    (ii)
      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 interests of the
      Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition
      and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and
      equitable and to any agreements governing the operation of such properties
      at
      such time.

     

    (iii)
      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 discretion of the Liquidator, a pro rata portion of the distributions that
      would otherwise be made to the General Partner, the Associate General Partner
      and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be:

     

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

     

    (B)
      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, the Associate
      General Partner and Limited Partners in the manner and order of priority set
      forth in Section 13.2(a), as soon as practicable.

     

    13.3
      Return
      of Associate General Partner Capital Contributions.

     

    (a)
      In
      the event the Advisory Agreement is terminated pursuant to the provisions of
      Section 17 thereof, the Associate General Partner shall receive a distribution
      equivalent to the Associate General Partner Contributions.

     

    (b)
      The

    Allocations

     

    1.
      Allocation
      of Net Income and Net Loss
      . Except
      as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Net Income, Net Loss and, to the extent
      necessary, individual items of income, gain, loss or deduction, of the
      Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner such that the
      Capital Account of each Partner, immediately after making such allocation,
      is,
      as nearly as possible, equal proportionately to (i) the distributions that
      would
      be made to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.1, Regular Distributions, and
      Article 13, Dissolution, Liquidation and Termination, if the Partnership were
      dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their
      Gross Asset Value, all Partnership liabilities were satisfied (limited with
      respect to each nonrecourse liability to the Gross Asset Value of the assets
      securing such liability), and the net assets of the Partnership were distributed
      in accordance with Section 5.1 and Article 13 to the Partners immediately after
      making such allocation, minus (ii) such Partner’s share of Partnership minimum
      gain (within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(d)) and Partner
      nonrecourse debt minimum gain (within the meaning of Regulation Section
      1.704-2(i)(5)), computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of
      assets.

     

    2.
      Associate
      Allocations
      .
      Notwithstanding any provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit B, the following
      special allocations shall be made.

     

    (a)
      Minimum
      Gain Chargeback (Nonrecourse Liabilities)
      . Except
      as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations, if there is
      a
      net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain for any Partnership fiscal year, each
      Partner shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for
      such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such
      Partner’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain to the extent
      required by Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). The items to be so allocated shall
      be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(f) and (i) of the Regulations.
      This subparagraph 2(a) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback
      requirement in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
      consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 2(a) shall
      be
      made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
      Partner pursuant hereto.

     

    (b)
      Partner
      Minimum Gain Chargeback
      . Except
      as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, if there
      is a
      net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse
      Debt
      during any fiscal year, each Partner who has a share of the Partner Minimum
      Gain
      attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with
      Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, shall be specially allocated items
      of
      Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years)
      in an amount equal to that Partner’s share of the net decrease in the Partner
      Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt to the extent and
      in
      the manner required by Section 1.704-2(i) of the Regulations. The items to
      be so
      allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and
      (j)(2) of the Regulations. This subparagraph 2(b) is intended to comply with
      the
      minimum gain chargeback requirement with respect to Partner Nonrecourse Debt
      contained in said section of the Regulations and shall be interpreted
      consistently therewith. Allocations pursuant to this subparagraph 2(b) shall
      be
      made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each
      Partner pursuant hereto.

     

    (c)
      Qualified
      Income Offset
      . In the
      event a Partner unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations or
      distributions described in Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of
      the
      Regulations, and such Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, items
      of
      Partnership income (including gross income) and gain shall be specially
      allocated to such Partner in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the
      Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible as required by the
      Regulations. This subparagraph 2(c) is intended to constitute a “qualified
      income offset” under Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) of the Regulations and shall
      be interpreted consistently therewith.

     

    (d)
      Other
      Chargeback of Impermissible Negative Capital Account
      . To the
      extent any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any
      Partnership fiscal year, each such Partner shall be specially allocated items
      of
      Partnership income (including gross income) and gain in the amount of
      such
      excess
      as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this paragraph
      2(d) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Partner would have an
      Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in
      this Exhibit B have been tentatively made as if this paragraph 2(d) were not
      in
      the Agreement.

     

    (e)
      Nonrecourse
      Deductions
      .
      Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period shall
      be
      allocated to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage
      Interests.

     

    (f)
      Partner
      Nonrecourse Deductions
      .
      Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year or other applicable period
      with respect to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt shall be specially allocated to
      the
      Partner that bears the economic risk of loss for such Partner Nonrecourse Debt
      (as determined under Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i)(1) of the
      Regulations).

     

    (g)
      Section
      754 Adjustment
      . To the
      extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any asset of the Partnership
      pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is
      required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be
      taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, 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 among
      the Partners in a manner consistent with the manner in which each of their
      respective Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such section
      of the Regulations.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (h)
      Gross
      Income Allocation
      . There
      shall be specially allocated to the General Partner an amount of Partnership
      income and gain during each Partnership Year or portion thereof, before any
      other allocations are made hereunder, which is equal to the excess, if any,
      of
      the cumulative distributions of cash made to the General Partner under Section
      7.3(b) hereof over the cumulative allocations of Partnership income and gain
      to
      the General Partner pursuant to this Section 2(i) of this Exhibit
      B.

     

    3.
      Tax
      Allocations.

     

    (a)
      Items
      of Income or Loss
      . Except
      as is otherwise provided in this Exhibit B, an allocation of Partnership Net
      Income or Net Loss to a Partner shall be treated as an allocation to such
      Partner of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and
      item
      of tax-exempt income or Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditure (or item treated as
      such expenditure pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i)) (“Tax
      Items”) that is taken into account in computing Net Income or Net
      Loss.

     

    (b)
      Section
      1245/1250 Recapture
      . If any
      portion of gain from the sale of Partnership assets is treated as gain which
      is
      ordinary income by virtue of the application of Code Sections 1245 or 1250
      (“Affected Gain”), then such Affected Gain shall be allocated among the Partners
      in the same proportion that the depreciation and amortization deductions giving
      rise to the Affected Gain were allocated. This subparagraph 3(b) shall not
      alter
      the amount of Net Income (or items thereof) allocated among the Partners, but
      merely the character of such Net Income (or items thereof). For purposes hereof,
      in order to determine the proportionate allocations of depreciation and
      amortization deductions for each fiscal year or other applicable period, such
      deductions shall be deemed allocated on the same basis as Net Income and Net
      Loss for such respective period.

     

    (c)
      Precontribution
      Gain, Revaluations
      . With
      respect to any Contributed Property, the Partnership shall use any permissible
      method contained in the Regulations promulgated under Section 704(c) of the
      Code
      selected by the General Partner, in its sole discretion, to take into account
      any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset and the fair market
      value
      of such asset as of the time of the contribution (“Precontribution Gain”). Each
      Partner hereby agrees to report income, gain, loss and deduction on such
      Partner’s federal income tax return in a manner consistent with the method used
      by the Partnership. If any asset has a Gross Asset Value which is different
      from
      the Partnership’s adjusted basis for such asset for federal income tax purposes
      because the Partnership has revalued such asset pursuant to Regulations Section
      1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), the allocations of Tax Items shall be made in accordance
      with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations and the
      methods of allocation promulgated thereunder. The intent of this
      subparagraph 3(c) is that each Partner who contributed to the capital of the
      Partnership a Contributed Property will bear, through reduced allocations of
      depreciation, increased allocations of gain or other items, the tax detriments
      associated with any Precontribution Gain. This subparagraph 3(c) is to be
      interpreted consistently with such intent.

     

    (d)
      Excess
      Nonrecourse Liability Safe Harbor
      .
      Pursuant to Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), solely for purposes of
      determining each Partner’s proportionate share of the “excess nonrecourse
      liabilities” of the Partnership (as defined in Regulations Section
      1.752-3(a)(3)), the Partners’ respective interests in Partnership profits shall
      be determined under any permissible method reasonably determined by the General
      Partner; provided, however, that each Partner who has contributed an asset
      to
      the Partnership shall be allocated, to the extent possible, a share of “excess
      nonrecourse liabilities” of the Partnership which results in such Partner being
      allocated nonrecourse liabilities in an amount which is at least equal to the
      amount of income pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code and the Regulations
      promulgated thereunder (the “Liability Shortfall”). In the event there is an
      insufficient amount of nonrecourse liabilities to allocate to each Partner
      an
      amount of nonrecourse liabilities equal to the Liability Shortfall, then an
      amount of nonrecourse liabilities in proportion to, and to the extent of, the
      Liability Shortfall shall be allocated to each Partner.

     

    (e)
      References
      to Regulations
      . Any
      reference in this Exhibit B or the Agreement to a provision of proposed and/or
      temporary Regulations shall, in the event such provision is modified or
      renumbered, be deemed to refer to the successor provision as so modified or
      renumbered, but only to the extent such successor provision applies to the
      Partnership under the effective date rules applicable to such successor
      provision.)

     

    (f)
      Successor
      Partners
      . For
      purposes of this Exhibit B, a transferee of a Partnership Interest shall be
      deemed to have been allocated the Net Income, Net Loss and other items of
      Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to the
      transferred Partnership Interest that previously have been allocated to the
      transferor Partner pursuant to this Agreement.

      number of shares of REIT Stock (determined without the above assumption) issued
      and outstanding on the record date for such dividend, distribution, subdivision
      or combination. Any adjustment to the Exchange Factor shall become effective
      immediately after the effective date of such event retroactive to the record
      date, if any, for such event.

    EXCHANGE
      RIGHT

     

    2.1
      Exchange
      Right.
      (a)
      Subject to Sections 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 hereof, and subject to any limitations
      under applicable law, the Operating Partnership hereby grants to each Limited
      Partner and each Limited Partner hereby accepts the right (the “ Exchange
      Right”),
      exercisable (i) on or after the date that is one (1) year after the closing
      of
      the Offering or (ii) upon the liquidation of the Operating Partnership or the
      sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Operating Partnership,
      to
      exchange on a Specified Exchange Date all or a portion of the Partnership Units
      held by such Limited Partner at an exchange price equal to and in the form
      of
      the Cash Amount.

     

    (b)
      The
      Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered
      to
      the Operating Partnership, with a copy delivered to the Company, by the Limited
      Partner who is exercising the Exchange Right (the “ Exchanging
      Partner”);
      provided, however, that the Company, on behalf of the Operating Partnership,
      may
      elect, after a Notice of Exchange is delivered, to satisfy the Exchange Right
      which is the subject of such notice in accordance with Section 2.2.

     

    (c)
      A
      Limited Partner may exercise the Exchange Right from time to time with respect
      to part or all of the Partnership Units that it owns, as selected by the Limited
      Partner, provided that, except as provided in the Agreement, a Limited Partner
      may not exercise the Exchange Right for less than one thousand (1,000)
      Partnership Units unless such Limited Partner then holds less than one thousand
      (1,000) Partnership Units, in which event the Limited Partner must exercise
      the
      Exchange Right for all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited
      Partner.

     

    (d)
      An
      Exchanging Partner shall have no right with respect to any Partnership Units
      so
      exchanged to receive any distributions paid after the Specified Exchange Date
      with respect to such Partnership Units.

     

    (e)
      Any
      Assignee of a Limited Partner may exercise the rights of such Limited Partner
      pursuant to this Article 2, and such Limited Partner shall be deemed to have
      assigned such rights to such Assignee and shall be bound by the exercise of
      such
      rights by such Assignee.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (f)
      In
      connection with any exercise of such rights by an Assignee on behalf of a
      Limited Partner, the Cash Amount or the REIT Stock Amount, as the case may
      be,
      shall be satisfied by the Operating Partnership or the Company, as the case
      may
      be, directly to such Assignee and not to such Limited Partner.

     

    2.2
      Option
      of Company to Exchange for REIT Stock
      . (a)
      Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1, the Company may, on behalf of
      the
      Operating Partnership, in its sole and absolute discretion (subject to the
      limitations on ownership and transfer of REIT Stock set forth in the Company’s
      charter), elect to assume directly and satisfy an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange
      Right by exchanging REIT Stock and rights equal to the REIT Stock Amount on
      the
      Specified Exchange Date for the Partnership Units offered for exchange by the
      Exchanging Partner, whereupon the Company shall acquire the Partnership Units
      offered for exchange by the Exchanging Partner and shall be treated for all
      purposes of the Partnership Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units.
      Unless the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall exercise its
      right to assume directly and satisfy the Exchange Right, the Company shall
      not
      have any obligation to the Exchanging Partner or to the Operating Partnership
      with respect to the Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the Exchange Right. If the
      Company shall exercise its right to satisfy the Exchange Right in the manner
      described in the first sentence of this Section 2.2 and shall fully perform
      its
      obligations in connection therewith, the Operating Partnership shall have no
      right or obligation to pay any amount to the Exchanging Partner with respect
      to
      such Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the Exchange Right, and each of the
      Exchanging Partner, the Operating Partnership and the Company shall, for federal
      income tax purposes, treat the transaction between the Company and the
      Exchanging Partner as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units to
      the Company. Nothing contained in this Section 2.2 shall imply any right of
      the
      Company to require any Limited Partner to exercise the Exchange Right afforded
      to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 2.1.

     

    (b)
      In
      the event the Company shall elect to satisfy, on behalf of the Operating
      Partnership, an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange Right by exchanging REIT Stock for
      the Partnership Units offered for exchange,

     

    (i)
      the
      Company hereby agrees so to notify the Exchanging Partner within five (5)
      Business Days after the receipt by the Company of such Notice of
      Exchange,

     

    (ii)
      each
      Exchanging Partner hereby agrees to execute such documents and instruments
      as
      the Company may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT
      Stock
      upon exercise of the Exchange Right, and

     

    (iii)
      the
      Company hereby agrees to deliver stock certificates representing fully paid
      and
      nonassessable shares of REIT Stock.

     

    2.3
      Prohibition
      of Exchange for REIT Stock
      .
      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be
      entitled to satisfy an Exchanging Partner’s Exchange Right pursuant to Section
      2.2 if the delivery of REIT Stock to such Limited Partner by the Company
      pursuant to Section 2.2 (regardless of the Operating Partnership’s obligations
      to the Limited Partner under Section 2.1)

     

    (a)
      would
      be prohibited under the Articles of Incorporation of the Company,

     

    (b)
      if
      the Company has elected REIT status, would otherwise jeopardize the REIT status
      of the Company, or

     

    (c)
      would
      cause the acquisition of the REIT Stock by the Limited Partner to be
“integrated” with any other distribution of REIT Stock by the Company for
      purposes of complying with the registration provisions of the Securities
      Act.

     

    2.4
      Payment
      Date
      . Any
      Cash Amount to be paid to an Exchanging Partner shall be paid on the Specified
      Exchange Date; provided,
      however
      , that
      the Operating Partnership may elect to cause the Specified Exchange Date to
      be
      delayed for up to an additional 180 days to the extent required for the Company
      to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued to provide financing to be used
      to
      make such payment of the Cash Amount by the Operating Partnership.

     

    2.5
      Expiration
      of Exchange Right
      . The
      Exchange Right shall expire with respect to any Partnership Units for which
      an
      Exchange Notice has not been delivered to the Operating Partnership and the
      Company on or before December 31, 2040.

     

    2.6
      Effect
      of Exchange
      . (a)
      Any exchange of Partnership Units pursuant to this Article 2 shall be deemed
      to
      have occurred as of the Specified Exchange Date for all purposes, including
      without limitation the payment of distributions or dividends in respect of
      Partnership Units or REIT Stock, as applicable.

     

    (b)
      Any
      Partnership Units acquired by the Company pursuant to an exercise by any Limited
      Partner of an Exchange Right shall be deemed to be acquired by and reallocated
      or reissued to the Company.

     

    (c)
      The
      Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, shall amend the
      Partnership Agreement to reflect each such exchange and reallocation or
      reissuance of Partnership Units and each corresponding recalculation of the
      Partnership Units of the Limited Partners.

      Units so surrendered.

     

    (c)

      cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the Cash
      Amount of a Partnership Unit multiplied by such fraction.

      may have to bear the economic risk of its investment in REIT Stock issued
      hereunder for an indefinite period of time, although the holder of any such
      REIT
      Stock will be afforded certain rights to have such REIT Stock registered under
      the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws pursuant to the
      Registration Rights Agreement.

     

    (e)
      The
      address set forth under such Exchanging Partner’s name in the Notice of Exchange
      is the address of the Exchanging Partner’s principal place of business or, if a
      natural person, the address of the Exchanging Partner’s residence, and such
      Exchanging Partner has no present intention of becoming a resident of any
      country, state or jurisdiction other than the country and state in which such
      principal place of business or residence is situated.
