 The purpose and nature of the business to be conducted by the Partnership is (i) to conduct any business that may be lawfully conducted by a limited partnership organized pursuant to the Act, provided, however, that such business shall be
limited to and conducted in such a manner as to permit the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT, unless the General Partner otherwise ceases to qualify as a REIT, (ii) to enter into any partnership, joint venture or other similar
arrangement to engage in any of the foregoing or the ownership of interests in any entity engaged in any of the foregoing and (iii) to do anything necessary or incidental to the foregoing. In connection with the foregoing, and without limiting the
General Partner’s right in its sole and absolute discretion to cease qualifying as a REIT, the Partners acknowledge that the General Partner’s current status as a REIT and the avoidance of income and excise taxes on the General Partner
inures to the benefit of all the Partners and not solely to the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Limited Partners agree that the General Partner may terminate its status as a REIT under the Code at any time to the full extent
permitted under the Articles of Incorporation. The General Partner shall also be empowered to do any and all acts and things necessary or prudent to ensure that the Partnership will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” for
purposes of Section 7704 of the Code. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

 CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND ACCOUNTS 
  
 4.01 Capital Contributions. The General Partner and the Limited Partner have made capital contributions to the Partnership in exchange for the
Partnership Interests set forth opposite their names on Exhibit A, as amended from time to time. 
  
 4.02 Additional Capital Contributions and Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. Except as provided in this Section 4.02 or in Section 4.03,
the Partners shall have no right or obligation to make any additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership. The General Partner may contribute additional capital to the Partnership, from time to time, and receive additional Partnership
Interests in respect thereof, in the manner contemplated in this Section 4.02. 
  
 (a) Issuances of Additional Partnership Interests. 
  
 (i) General. The General Partner is hereby authorized to cause the Partnership to issue such additional Partnership Interests in
the form of Partnership Units for any Partnership purpose at any time or from time to time, to the Partners (including the General Partner) or to other Persons for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the
General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, all without the approval of any Limited Partners. Any additional Partnership Interests issued thereby may be issued in one or more classes, or one or more series of any of such classes, with such
designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers and duties, including rights, powers and duties senior to Limited Partnership Interests, all as shall be determined by the General Partner 
  

 10 

 
in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of any Limited Partner, subject to Delaware law, including, without limitation, (i) the
allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction and credit to each such class or series of Partnership Interests; (ii) the right of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions; and (iii)
the rights of each such class or series of Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; provided, however, that no additional Partnership Interests shall be issued to the General Partner unless: 
  
 (1) (A) the additional Partnership Interests are issued in connection with
an issuance of REIT Shares of or other interests in the General Partner, which shares or interests have designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to the designations, preferences and
other rights of the additional Partnership Interests issued to the General Partner by the Partnership in accordance with this Section 4.02 and (B) the General Partner shall make a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the
proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of such shares of stock of or other interests in the General Partner; 
  
 (2) the additional Partnership Interests are issued in exchange for property owned by the General Partner with a fair market value, as determined by the
General Partner, in good faith, equal to the value of the Partnership Interests; or 
  
 (3) the additional Partnership Interests are issued to all Partners in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests. 
  
 In addition, the General Partner may acquire Partnership Interests from other Partners pursuant to this Agreement. In the event that the Partnership
issues Partnership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.02(a), the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Agreement (without any requirement of receiving approval of the Limited Partners) as it deems necessary to reflect the issuance of
such additional Partnership Interests and any special rights, powers, and duties associated therewith. 
  
 Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue Partnership Units for less than fair market
value, so long as the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the General Partner and the Partnership. 
  
 (ii) Upon Issuance of Additional Securities. The General Partner shall not issue any additional REIT Shares (other than REIT Shares
issued in connection with an exchange pursuant to Section 8.05 hereof) or rights, options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities containing the right to subscribe for or purchase REIT Shares (collectively, “Additional
Securities”) other than to all holders of REIT Shares, unless (a) the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner, as the General Partner may designate, Partnership Interests or rights, options, warrants or
convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences 
  

 11 

 
and other rights, all such that the economic interests are substantially similar to those of the Additional Securities, and (B) the General Partner
contributes the net proceeds from the issuance of such Additional Securities and from any exercise of rights contained in such Additional Securities, directly and through the General Partner, to the Partnership; provided, however, that the General
Partner is allowed to issue Additional Securities in connection with an acquisition of a property to be held directly by the General Partner. Without limiting the foregoing, the General Partner is expressly authorized to issue Additional Securities
for less than fair market value, and to cause the Partnership to issue to the General Partner corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (x) the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance is in the best interests of the General
Partner and the Partnership, including without limitation, the issuance of REIT Shares and corresponding Partnership Units pursuant to an employee share purchase plan providing for employee purchases of REIT Shares at a discount from fair market
value or employee stock options that have an exercise price that is less than the fair market value of the REIT Shares, either at the time of issuance or at the time of exercise, and (y) the General Partner contributes all proceeds from such
issuance to the Partnership. For example, in the event the General Partner issues REIT Shares for a cash purchase price and contributes all of the proceeds of such issuance to the Partnership as required hereunder, the General Partner shall be
issued a number of additional Partnership Units equal to the product of (a) the number of such REIT Shares issued by the General Partner, the proceeds of which were so contributed, multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is 100%, and
the denominator of which is the Conversion Factor in effect on the date of such contribution. 
  
 (b) Certain Deemed Contributions of Proceeds of Issuance of REIT Shares. In connection with any and all issuances of REIT Shares,
the General Partner shall make Capital Contributions to the Partnership of the proceeds therefrom, provided that if the proceeds actually received and contributed by the General Partner are less than the gross proceeds of such issuance as a result
of any underwriter’s discount or other expenses paid or incurred in connection with such issuance, then the General Partner shall be deemed to have made Capital Contributions to the Partnership in the aggregate amount of the gross proceeds of
such issuance and the Partnership shall be deemed simultaneously to have paid such offering expenses in accordance with Section 6.05 hereof and in connection with the required issuance of additional Partnership Units to the General Partner for such
Capital Contributions pursuant to Section 4.02(a) hereof. 
  
 4.03
Additional Funding. If the General Partner determines that it is in the best interests of the Partnership to provide for additional Partnership funds (“Additional Funds”) for any Partnership purpose, the General Partner may (i)
cause the Partnership to obtain such funds from outside borrowings, or (ii) elect to have the General Partner or any of its Affiliates provide such Additional Funds to the Partnership through loans or otherwise. 
  
 4.04 Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital
Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Partner in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv). If (i) a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital
Contribution, (ii) the Partnership distributes to a 
  

 12 

 
Partner more than a de minimis amount of Partnership property as consideration for a Partnership Interest, or (iii) the Partnership is liquidated within the
meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g), the General Partner shall revalue the property of the Partnership to its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account
Section 7701(g) of the Code) in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704- 1(b)(2)(iv)(f). When the Partnership’s property is revalued by the General Partner, the Capital Accounts of the Partners shall be adjusted in accordance with Regulations
Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f) and (g), which generally require such Capital Accounts to be adjusted to reflect the manner in which the unrealized gain or loss inherent in such property (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously)
would be allocated among the Partners pursuant to Section 5.01 if there were a taxable disposition of such property for its fair market value (as determined by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, and taking into account Section
7701(g) of the Code) on the date of the revaluation. 
  
 4.05
Percentage Interests. If the number of outstanding Partnership Units increases or decreases during a taxable year, each Partner’s Percentage Interest shall be adjusted by the General Partner effective as of the effective date of each
such increase or decrease to a percentage equal to the number of Partnership Units held by such Partner divided by the aggregate number of Partnership Units outstanding after giving effect to such increase or decrease. If the Partners’
Percentage Interests are adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.05, the Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs shall be allocated between the part of the year ending on the day when the Partnership’s property is
revalued by the General Partner and the part of the year beginning on the following day either (i) as if the taxable year had ended on the date of the adjustment or (ii) based on the number of days in each part. The General Partner, in its sole and
absolute discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate Profits and Losses for the taxable year in which the adjustment occurs. The allocation of Profits and Losses for the earlier part of the year shall be based on the
Percentage Interests before adjustment, and the allocation of Profits and Losses for the later part shall be based on the adjusted Percentage Interests. 
  
 4.06 No Interest on Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to interest on its Capital Contribution. 
  
 4.07 Return of Capital Contributions. No Partner shall be entitled to
withdraw any part of its Capital Contribution or its Capital Account or to receive any distribution from the Partnership, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein, there shall be no obligation to return
to any Partner or withdrawn Partner any part of such Partner’s Capital Contribution for so long as the Partnership continues in existence. 
  
 4.08 No Third Party Beneficiary. No creditor or other third party having dealings with the Partnership shall have the right to enforce the right or
obligation of any Partner to make Capital 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 Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of, and
may be enforced solely by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. None of the rights or obligations of the Partners herein set forth to make Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership shall be deemed an asset of the
Partnership for any 
  

 13 

 
purpose by any creditor or other third party, nor may such rights or obligations be sold, transferred or assigned by the Partnership or pledged or encumbered
by the Partnership to secure any debt or other obligation of the Partnership or of any of the Partners. In addition, it is the intent of the parties hereto that no distribution to any Limited Partner shall be deemed a return of money or other
property in violation of the Act. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Limited Partner is obligated to return such money or property, such obligation shall be the
obligation of such Limited Partner and not of the General Partner. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a deficit Capital Account of a Partner shall not be deemed to be a liability of such Partner nor an asset or property of the
Partnership. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
 PROFITS AND LOSSES; DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
 5.01 Allocation of Profit and Loss. 
  
 (a) General. Profit and Loss of the Partnership for each fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with
their respective Percentage Interests. 
  
 (b) Minimum Gain
Chargeback. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, (i) any expense of the Partnership that is a “nonrecourse deduction” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1) shall be allocated in accordance with the
Partners’ respective Percentage Interests, (ii) any expense of the Partnership that is a “partner nonrecourse deduction” within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2) shall be allocated to the Partner that bears the
“economic risk of loss” of such deduction in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1), (iii) if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(1) for any Partnership
taxable year, then, subject to the exceptions set forth in Regulations Section 1.704-2(f)(2),(3), (4) and (5), items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and the ordering rules
contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j), and (iv) if there is a net decrease in Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) for any Partnership taxable year, then, subject to the exceptions set
forth in Regulations Section 1.704(2)(g), items of gain and income shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4) and the ordering rules contained in Regulations Section 1.704-2(j). A Partner’s
“interest in partnership profits” for purposes of determining its share of the nonrecourse liabilities of the Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3) shall be such Partner’s Percentage Interest. 

 
 (c) Qualified Income Offset. If a Partner receives in any taxable
year an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in subparagraphs (4), (5), or (6) of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) that causes or increases a deficit balance in such Partner’s Capital Account that exceeds the sum of such
Partner’s shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i), such Partner shall be allocated specially for such taxable year (and, if
necessary, later taxable years) items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate such deficit Capital Account balance as quickly as possible as provided in Regulations 
  

 14 

 
Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d). After the occurrence of an allocation of income or gain to a Partner in accordance with this Section 5.01(c), to the extent
permitted by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), items of expense or loss shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount necessary to offset the income or gain previously allocated to such Partner under this Section 5.01(c). 
  
 (d) Capital Account Deficits. Loss shall not be allocated to a Limited
Partner to the extent that such allocation would cause a deficit in such Partner’s Capital Account (after reduction to reflect the items described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6)) to exceed the sum of such
Partner’s shares of Partnership Minimum Gain and Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain. Any Loss in excess of that limitation shall be allocated to the General Partner. After the occurrence of an allocation of Loss to the General Partner in
accordance with this Section 5.01(d), to the extent permitted by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b), Profit shall be allocated to such Partner in an amount necessary to offset the Loss previously allocated to each Partner under this Section 5.01(d).

  
 (e) Allocations Between Transferor and Transferee. If a
Partner transfers any part or all of its Partnership Interest, the distributive shares of the various items of Profit and Loss allocable among the Partners during such fiscal year of the Partnership shall be allocated between the transferor and the
transferee Partner either (i) as if the Partnership’s fiscal year had ended on the date of the transfer, or (ii) based on the number of days of such fiscal year that each was a Partner without regard to the results of Partnership activities in
the respective portions of such fiscal year in which the transferor and the transferee were Partners. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine which method shall be used to allocate the distributive shares of the
various items of Profit and Loss between the transferor and the transferee Partner. 
  
 (f) Definition of Profit and Loss. “Profit” and “Loss” and any items of income, gain, expense, or loss referred to in this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with federal income tax
accounting principles, as modified by Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv), except that Profit and Loss shall not include items of income, gain and expense that are specially allocated pursuant to Sections 5.01(b), 5.01(c), or 5.01(d). All
allocations of income, Profit, gain, Loss, and expense (and all items contained therein) for federal income tax purposes shall be identical to all allocations of such items set forth in this Section 5.01, except as otherwise required by Section
704(c) of the Code and Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(4). The General Partner shall have the authority to elect the method to be used by the Partnership for allocating items of income, gain, and expense as required by Section 704(c) of the Code
including a method that may result in a Partner receiving a disproportionately larger share of the Partnership tax depreciation deductions, and such election shall be binding on all Partners. 
  

 15 

 5.02 Distribution of Cash. 
  
 (a) The Partnership shall distribute cash on a quarterly (or, at the election of the General Partner, more frequent) basis,
in an amount determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion, to the Partners who are Partners on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such quarter (or other distribution period) in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests on the Partnership Record Date; provided, however, that if a new or existing Partner acquires an additional Partnership Interest in exchange for a Capital Contribution on any date other than the next day after a Partnership
Record Date, the cash distribution attributable to such additional Partnership Interest relating to the Partnership Record Date next following the issuance of such additional Partnership Interest (or relating to the Partnership Record Date if such
Partnership Interest was acquired on a Partnership Record Date) shall be reduced in the proportion to (i) the number of days that such additional Partnership Interest is held by such Partner bears to (ii) the number of days between such Partnership
Record Date (including such Partnership Record Date) and the immediately preceding Partnership Record Date. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner is authorized to take any action that it determines to be necessary or
appropriate to cause the Partnership to comply with any withholding requirements established under the Code or any other federal, state or local law including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 and 1446 of the Code. To the
extent that the Partnership is required to withhold and pay over to any taxing authority any amount resulting from the allocation or distribution of income to the Partner or assignee (including by reason of Section 1446 of the Code), either (i) if
the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner equals or exceeds the amount required to be withheld by the Partnership, the amount withheld shall be treated as a distribution of cash in the amount of such withholding to such Partner, or (ii) if
the actual amount to be distributed to the Partner is less than the amount required to be withheld by the Partnership, the amount required to be withheld shall be treated as a loan (a “Partnership Loan”) from the Partnership to the Partner
on the day the Partnership pays over such amount to a taxing authority. A Partnership Loan shall be repaid through withholding by the Partnership with respect to subsequent distributions to the applicable Partner or assignee. In the event that a
Limited Partner (a “Defaulting Limited Partner”) fails to pay any amount owed to the Partnership with respect to the Partnership Loan within 15 days after demand for payment thereof is made by the Partnership on the Limited Partner, the
General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to make the payment to the Partnership on behalf of such Defaulting Limited Partner. In such event, on the date of payment, the General Partner shall be deemed to have extended a loan
(a “General Partner Loan”) to the Defaulting Limited Partner in the amount of the payment made by the General Partner and shall succeed to all rights and remedies of the Partnership against the Defaulting Limited Partner as to that amount.
Without limitation, the General Partner shall have the right to receive any distributions that otherwise would be made by the Partnership to the Defaulting Limited Partner until such time as the General Partner Loan has been paid in full, and any
such distributions so received by the General Partner shall be treated as having been received by the Defaulting Limited Partner and immediately paid to the General Partner. 
  
 Any amounts treated as a Partnership Loan or a General Partner Loan pursuant to this Section 5.02(b) shall bear interest at
the lesser of (i) the base rate on corporate loans at large 
  

 16 

 
United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, or (ii) the maximum lawful rate of interest on such
obligation, such interest to accrue from the date the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, is deemed to extend the loan until such loan is repaid in full. 
  
 (c) In no event may a Partner receive a distribution of cash with respect to a Partnership Unit if such Partner is entitled
to receive a cash dividend as the holder of record of a REIT Share for which all or part of such Partnership Unit has been or will be exchanged. 
  
 5.03 REIT Distribution Requirements. The General Partner shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute amounts sufficient
to enable the General Partner to pay shareholder dividends that will allow the General Partner to (i) meet its distribution requirement for qualification as a REIT as set forth in Section 857 of the Code and (ii) avoid any federal income or excise
tax liability imposed by the Code. 
  
 5.04 No Right to
Distributions In Kind. No Partner shall be entitled to demand property other than cash in connection with any distributions by the Partnership. 
  
 5.05 Limitations of Return of Capital Contributions. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Article V, no Partner shall have the right to
receive and the General Partner shall not have the right to make, a distribution that includes a return of all or part of a Partner’s Capital Contributions, unless after giving effect to the return of a Capital Contribution, the sum of all
Partnership liabilities, other than the liabilities to a Partner for the return of his Capital Contribution, does not exceed the fair market value of the Partnership’s assets. 
  
 5.06 Distributions Upon Liquidation. Upon liquidation of the Partnership, after payment of, or adequate provision
for, debts and obligations of the Partnership, including any Partner loans, any remaining assets of the Partnership shall be distributed to all Partners with positive Capital Accounts in accordance with their respective positive Capital Account
balances. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Capital Account of each Partner shall be determined after all adjustments made in accordance with Sections 5.01 and 5.02 resulting from Partnership operations and from all sales and dispositions
of all or any part of the Partnership’s assets. To the extent deemed advisable by the General Partner, appropriate arrangements (including the use of a liquidating trust) may be made to assure that adequate funds are available to pay any
contingent debts or obligations. 
  
 5.07 Substantial Economic
Effect. It is the intent of the Partners that the allocations of Profit and Loss under the Agreement have substantial economic effect (or be consistent with the Partners’ interests in the Partnership in the case of the allocation of losses
attributable to nonrecourse debt) within the meaning of Section 704(b) of the Code as interpreted by the Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto. Article V and other relevant provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent
with such intent. 
  

 17 

 ARTICLE VI

 6.01 Management of the Partnership.

 (ix) to prosecute, defend, arbitrate, or compromise any and all claims or liabilities in favor of or against the Partnership, on such

 (x) to file applications, communicate, and otherwise deal
with any and all governmental agencies having jurisdiction over, or in any way affecting, the Partnership’s assets or any other aspect of the Partnership business; 
  
 (xi) to make or revoke any election permitted or required of the Partnership by any taxing authority;

 (xiii) to determine whether or not to apply any insurance proceeds for any property to the restoration of such property or to distribute the same; 
  
 (xiv) to establish one or more divisions of the Partnership, to hire and dismiss employees of the Partnership or any division of the
Partnership, and to retain legal counsel, accountants, consultants, real estate brokers, and such other persons, as the General Partner may deem necessary or appropriate in connection with the Partnership business and to pay therefore such
reasonable remuneration as the General Partner may deem reasonable and proper; 
  
 (xv) to retain other services of any kind or nature in connection with the Partnership business, and to pay therefore such remuneration as
the General Partner may deem reasonable and proper; 
  
 (xvi) to negotiate and conclude agreements on behalf of the Partnership with respect to any of the rights, powers and authority conferred upon the General Partner;

to, its Subsidiaries and any other Person in which it has an equity interest from time to time); 
  
 (xx) to establish Partnership reserves for working capital, capital expenditures, contingent liabilities, or any other valid Partnership
purpose; and 
  
 (xxi) to merge, consolidate or
combine the Partnership with or into another person;

 (xxiii) to take such other action, execute, acknowledge,
swear to or deliver such other documents and instruments, and perform any and all other acts that the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate for the formation, continuation and conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership
(including, without limitation, all actions consistent with allowing the General Partner at all times to qualify as a REIT unless the General Partner voluntarily terminates its REIT status) and to possess and enjoy all of the rights and powers of a
general partner as provided by the Act. 
  
 (b) Except as
otherwise provided herein, to the extent the duties of the General Partner require expenditures of funds to be paid to third parties, the General Partner shall not have any obligations hereunder except to the extent that partnership funds are
reasonably available to it for the performance of such duties, and nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize or require the General Partner, in its capacity as such, to expend its individual funds for payment to third parties or to
undertake any individual liability or obligation on behalf of the Partnership. 
  
 6.02 Delegation of Authority. The General Partner may delegate any or all of its powers, rights and obligations hereunder, and may appoint, employ, contract or otherwise deal with any Person for the transaction
of the business of the Partnership, which Person may, under supervision of the General Partner, perform any acts or services for the Partnership as the General Partner may approve. 
  

 20 

 6.03 Indemnification. 
  
 (a) To the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law in effect from time to time, the Partnership shall indemnify any
Indemnitee from and against any claim or liability to which such Person may become subject or which such Person may incur by reason of his service on behalf of the Partnership and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate
entitlement to indemnification, shall pay or reimburse any Indemnitee reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding. 
  
 (b) Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Section 6.03, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the Agreement inconsistent with Section
6.03, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption. 
  
 (c) The indemnification provided by this Section 6.03 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any
other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the Partners, as a matter of law or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity. 
  
 (d) The Partnership may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the
Indemnitees and such other Persons as the General Partner shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Partnership’s activities, regardless of whether
the Partnership would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement. 
  
 (e) For purposes of this Section 6.03, the Partnership shall be deemed to have requested an Indemnitee to serve as fiduciary of an employee benefit plan
whenever the performance by it of its duties to the Partnership also imposes duties on, or otherwise involves services by, it 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 6.03; 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 the Limited Partners to personal
liability by reason of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 (g) An Indemnitee shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section 6.03 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the
transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (h) The provisions of this Section 6.03 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. 
  

 21 

 (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.03 to the contrary, if the General Partner would be
prohibited under the Articles of Incorporation from providing the indemnification or advancement of expenses otherwise called for by this Section 6.03, then the Partnership shall not provide such indemnification or advancement of expenses.

  
 6.04 Liability of the General Partner. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
the General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages to the Partnership or any Partners for losses sustained or liabilities incurred as a result of errors in judgment or of any act or omission if the General Partner acted in good faith. The
General Partner shall not be in breach of any duty that the General Partner may owe to the Limited Partners or the Partnership or any other Persons under this Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity provided the General Partner,
acting in good faith, abides by the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting on behalf of the Partnership, itself and its shareholders collectively, that the General Partner is under no obligation to consider the separate interests of
the Limited Partners (including, without limitation, the tax consequences to Limited Partners or the tax consequences of some, but not all, of the Limited Partners) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any
actions. In the event of a conflict between the interests of its shareholders on one hand and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either its shareholders or the
Limited Partners; provided, however, that for so long as the General Partner directly owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, determines cannot be resolved in a
manner not adverse to either its shareholders or the Limited Partner shall be resolved in favor of the shareholders. The General Partner shall not be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by
Limited Partners in connection with such decisions, provided that the General Partner has acted in good faith. 
  
 (c) Subject to its obligations and duties as General Partner set forth in Section 6.01 hereof, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted
to it under this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents. The General Partner shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent appointed by
it in good faith. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement or the Act, any action of the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership or any decision of the General Partner to refrain from acting on behalf of the Partnership, undertaken in the good faith belief that such action or omission is
necessary or advisable in order (i) to protect the ability of the General Partner to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) to prevent the General Partner from incurring any taxes under Section 857, Section 4981, or any other provision of the Code,
is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners. 
  

 22 

 (e) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 6.04 or any provision hereof shall be
prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the General Partner’s liability to the Partnership and the Limited Partners under this Section 6.04 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal
with respect to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when claims relating to such matters may arise or be asserted. 
  
 6.05 Reimbursement of General Partner. 
  
 (a) Except as provided in this Section 6.05 and elsewhere in this Agreement (including the provisions of Articles 5 and 6
regarding distributions, payments, and allocations to which it may be entitled), the General Partner shall not be compensated for its services as general partner of the Partnership. 
  
 (b) The General Partner shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis, or such other basis as the General Partner may determine in
its sole and absolute discretion, for all Administrative Expenses. 
  
 6.06 Outside Activities. Subject to the Articles of Incorporation and any agreements entered into by the General Partner or its Affiliates with the Partnership or a Subsidiary, any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee,
Affiliate or shareholder of the General Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities substantially
similar or identical to those of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any of the Limited Partners shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any such business ventures, interest or activities. None of the Limited Partners nor any
other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship established hereby in any such business ventures, interests or activities, and the General Partner shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to
offer any interest in any such business ventures, interests and activities to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership or any Limited Partner, could be taken by such
Person. 
  
 6.07 Employment or Retention of Affiliates.

  
 (a) Any Affiliate of the General Partner may be employed or
retained by the Partnership and may otherwise deal with the Partnership (whether as a buyer, lessor, lessee, manager, furnisher of goods or services, broker, agent, lender or otherwise) and may receive from the Partnership any compensation, price,
or other payment therefore which the General Partner determines to be fair and reasonable. 
  
 (b) The Partnership may lend or contribute to its Subsidiaries or other Persons in which it has an equity investment, and such Persons may borrow funds from the Partnership, on terms and conditions established in the
sole and absolute discretion of the General Partner. The foregoing authority shall not create any right or benefit in favor of any Subsidiary or any other Person. 
  

 23 

 (c) The Partnership may transfer assets to joint ventures, other partnerships, corporations or other
business entities in which it is or thereby becomes a participant upon such terms and subject to such conditions as the General Partner deems are consistent with this Agreement and applicable law. 
  
 (d) Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, neither the General
Partner nor any of its Affiliates shall sell, transfer or convey any property to, or purchase any property from, the Partnership, directly or indirectly, except pursuant to transactions that are on terms that are fair and reasonable to the
Partnership. 
  
 6.08 [reserved] 
  
 6.09 Title to Partnership Assets. Title to Partnership assets, whether
real, personal or mixed and whether tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partner, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such Partnership assets or any portion
thereof. Title to any or all of the Partnership assets may be held in the name of the Partnership, the General Partner or one or more nominees, as the General Partner may determine, including Affiliates of the General Partner. The General Partner
hereby declares and warrants that any Partnership assets for which legal title is held in the name of the General Partner or any nominee or Affiliate of the General Partner shall be held by the General Partner for the use and benefit of the
Partnership in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that the General Partner shall use its best efforts to cause beneficial and record title to such assets to be vested in the Partnership as soon as reasonably
practicable. All Partnership assets shall be recorded as the property of the Partnership in its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Partnership assets is held. 
  
 6.10 Miscellaneous. In the event the General Partner redeems any REIT
Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to purchase from the General Partner a number of Partnership Units as determined based on the application of the Conversion Factor on the same terms that the General Partner exchanged such
REIT Shares. Moreover, if the General Partner makes a cash tender offer or other offer to acquire REIT Shares, then the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make a corresponding offer to the General Partner to acquire an equal number of
Partnership Units held by the General Partner. In the event any REIT Shares are exchanged by the General Partner pursuant to such offer, the Partnership shall redeem an equivalent number of the General Partner’s Partnership Units for an
equivalent purchase price based on the application of the Conversion Factor. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
 CHANGES IN GENERAL PARTNER 
  
 7.01 Transfer of the General Partner’s Partnership Interest.

  
 (a) The General Partner shall not transfer all or any portion
of its General Partnership Interest or withdraw as General Partner except as provided in or in connection with a transaction contemplated by Section 7.01(c), (d) or (e). 
  

 24 

 (b) [reserved] 
  

(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.04(b) or Section 7.01(d) or (e) hereof, the General Partner shall not engage in any merger, consolidation
or other combination with or into another Person or sale of all or substantially all of its assets, (other than in connection with a change in the General Partner’s state of incorporation or organizational form) in each case which results in a
change of control of the General Partner (a “Transaction”), unless: 
  
 (i) the consent of the holders of a majority of the Partnership Units (including the Partnership Units held by the General Partner or an Affiliate thereof) is obtained; 
  
 (ii) as a result of such Transaction all Limited Partners
will receive for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities or other property paid in the Transaction to a holder of one REIT Share
in consideration of one REIT Share, 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 Shares,
each holder of Partnership Units shall be given the option to exchange its Partnership Units for the greatest 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 Shares received upon exercise of the Exchange Right immediately prior to the expiration of the Offer; or 
  
 (iii) the General Partner is the surviving entity in the Transaction and either (a) the holders of REIT
Shares do not receive cash, securities, or other property in the Transaction or (B) all Limited Partners (other than the General Partner or any Subsidiary) receive an amount of cash, securities, or other property (expressed as an amount per REIT
Share) that is no less than the product of the Conversion Factor and the greatest amount of cash, securities, or other property (expressed as an amount per REIT Share) received in the Transaction by any holder of REIT Shares. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), the General Partner may merge with or
into or consolidate with another entity if immediately after such merger or consolidation (i) substantially all of the assets of the successor or surviving entity (the “Survivor”), other than Partnership Units held by the General Partner,
are contributed, directly or indirectly, 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 Survivor in good faith and (ii) the
Survivor expressly agrees to assume all obligations of the General Partner, as appropriate, hereunder. Upon such contribution and assumption, the Survivor shall have the right and duty to amend this Agreement as set forth in this Section 7.01(d).
The Survivor shall in good faith arrive at a new method for the calculation of the Cash Amount, the REIT Shares Amount and Conversion 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. 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
Shares or options, warrants or 
  

 25 

 
other rights relating thereto, and to which a holder of Partnership Units could have acquired had such Partnership Units been exchanged immediately prior to
such merger or consolidation. 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 Conversion
Factor. The Survivor also shall in good faith modify the definition of REIT Shares and make such amendments to Section 8.05 hereof so as to approximate the existing rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.05 as closely as reasonably possible.
The above provisions of this Section 7.01(d) shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations permitted hereunder. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding Section 7.01(c), 
  
 (i) a General Partner may transfer all or any portion of its General Partnership Interest to (a) a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such General
Partner or (B) the owner of all of the ownership interests of such General Partner, and following a transfer of all of its General Partnership Interest, may withdraw as General Partner; and 
  
 (ii) the General Partner may engage in Transactions not
required by law or by the rules of any national securities exchange on which the REIT Shares are listed to be submitted to the vote of the holders of the REIT Shares. 
  
 7.02 Admission of a Substitute or Additional General Partner. A Person shall be admitted as a substitute or
additional General Partner of the Partnership only if the following terms and conditions are satisfied: 
  
 (a) the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner shall have accepted and agreed to be bound by all the terms and provisions of
this Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof and such other documents or instruments as may be required or appropriate in order to effect the admission of such Person as a General Partner, and a certificate evidencing the admission of such
Person as a General Partner shall have been filed for recordation and all other actions required by Section 2.05 hereof in connection with such admission shall have been performed; 
  
 (b) if the Person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is a corporation or a partnership it shall
have provided the Partnership with evidence satisfactory to counsel for the Partnership of such Person’s authority to become a General Partner and to be bound by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and 
  
 (c) counsel for the Partnership shall have rendered an opinion (relying on
such opinions from other counsel and the state or any other jurisdiction as may be necessary) that the admission of the person to be admitted as a substitute or additional General Partner is in conformity with the Act, that none of the actions taken
in connection with the admission of such Person as a substitute or additional General Partner will cause (i) the Partnership to be classified other than as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or (ii) the loss of any Limited Partner’s
limited liability. 
  

 26 

 7.03 Effect of Bankruptcy, Withdrawal, Death or Dissolution of a General Partner. 
  
 (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General Partner
(and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the death, withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that, if a General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event
of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners), the Partnership shall be
dissolved and terminated unless the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03(b) hereof. The merger of the General Partner with or into any entity that is admitted as a substitute or successor General Partner pursuant to Section 7.02 hereof
shall not be deemed to be the withdrawal, dissolution or removal of the General Partner. 
  
 (b) Following the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a General Partner (and its removal pursuant to Section 7.04(a) hereof) or the death, withdrawal, removal or dissolution of a General Partner (except that,
if a General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to, or removal of a partner in, such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of such General Partner if the
business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners), the Limited Partners, within 90 days after such occurrence, may elect to continue the business of the Partnership for the balance of the term specified in Section
2.04 hereof by selecting, subject to Section 7.02 hereof and any other provisions of this Agreement, a substitute General Partner by consent of a majority in interest of the Limited Partners. If the Limited Partners elect to continue the business of
the Partnership and admit a substitute General Partner, the relationship with the Partners and of any Person who has acquired an interest of a Partner in the Partnership shall be governed by this Agreement. 
  
 7.04 Removal of a General Partner. 
  
 (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Bankruptcy as to, or the dissolution
of, a General Partner, such General Partner shall be deemed to be removed automatically; provided, however, that if a General Partner is on the date of such occurrence a partnership, the withdrawal, death, dissolution, Event of Bankruptcy as to or
removal of a partner in such partnership shall be deemed not to be a dissolution of the General Partner if the business of such General Partner is continued by the remaining partner or partners. The Limited Partners may not remove the General
Partner, with or without cause. 
  
 (b) If a General Partner has
been removed pursuant to this Section 7.04 and the Partnership is continued pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof, such General Partner shall promptly transfer and assign its General Partnership Interest in the Partnership to the substitute General
Partner approved by a majority in interest of the Limited Partners in accordance with Section 7.03(b) hereof and otherwise admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 7.02 hereof. At the time of assignment, the removed General Partner
shall be entitled to receive from the substitute General Partner the fair market value of the General Partnership Interest of such removed General Partner as reduced by any damages caused to the Partnership by such General Partner. Such fair market
value shall be determined by an appraiser mutually agreed upon by the 
  

 27 

 
General Partner and a majority in interest of the Limited Partners within 10 days following the removal of the General Partner. In the event that the parties
are unable to agree upon an appraiser, the removed General Partner and a majority in interest of the Limited Partners each shall select an appraiser. Each such appraiser shall complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General
Partner’s General Partnership Interest within 30 days of the General Partner’s removal, and the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals; provided,
however, that if the higher appraisal exceeds the lower appraisal by more than 20% of the amount of the lower appraisal, the two appraisers, no later than 40 days after the removal of the General Partner, shall select a third appraiser who shall
complete an appraisal of the fair market value of the removed General Partner’s General Partnership Interest no later than 60 days after the removal of the General Partner. In such case, the fair market value of the removed General
Partner’s General Partnership Interest shall be the average of the two appraisals closest in value. 
  
 (c) The General Partnership Interest of a removed General Partner, during the time after default until transfer under Section 7.04(b), shall be converted
to that of a special Limited Partner; provided, however, such removed General Partner shall not have any rights to participate in the management and affairs of the Partnership, and shall not be entitled to any portion of the income, expense, profit,
gain or loss allocations or cash distributions allocable or payable, as the case may be, to the Limited Partners. Instead, such removed General Partner shall receive and be entitled only to retain distributions or allocations of such items that it
would have been entitled to receive in its capacity as General Partner, until the transfer is effective pursuant to Section 7.04(b). 
  
 (d) All Partners shall have given and hereby do give such consents, shall take such actions and shall execute such documents as shall be legally necessary
and sufficient to effect all the foregoing provisions of this Section. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE LIMITED PARTNERS 
  
 8.01 Management of the Partnership. The Limited Partners shall not
participate in the management or control of Partnership business nor shall they transact any business for the Partnership, nor shall they have the power to sign for or bind the Partnership, such powers being vested solely and exclusively in the
General Partner. 
  
 8.02 Power of Attorney. Each Limited
Partner hereby irrevocably appoints the General Partner its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, who may act for each Limited Partner and in its name, place and stead, and for its use and benefit, to sign, acknowledge, swear to, deliver, file or
record, at the appropriate public offices, any and all documents, certificates, and instruments as may be deemed necessary or desirable by the General Partner to carry out fully the provisions of this Agreement and the Act in accordance with their
terms, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall survive the death, dissolution or legal incapacity of the Limited Partner, or the transfer by the Limited Partner of any part or all of its Partnership Interest. 
  

 28 

 8.03 Limitation on Liability of Limited Partners. No Limited Partner shall be liable for any
debts, liabilities, contracts or obligations of the Partnership. A Limited Partner shall be liable to the Partnership only to make payments of its Capital Contribution, if any, as and when due hereunder. After its Capital Contribution is fully paid,
no Limited Partner shall, except as otherwise required by the Act, be required to make any further Capital Contributions or other payments or lend any funds to the Partnership. 
  
 8.04 [reserved] 
  
 8.05 Exchange Right. 
  
 (a) Subject to Sections 8.05(b), 8.05(c), 8.05(d), and 8.05(e) and the provisions of any agreements between the Partnership and one or more Limited
Partners with respect to Partnership Units held by them, each Limited Partner, other than the General Partner, shall have the right (the “Exchange Right”) to require the Partnership to redeem 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 to be paid by the Partnership, provided that such Partnership Units shall have been outstanding for at least one year. The
Exchange Right shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice of Exchange delivered to the Partnership (with a copy to the General Partner) by the Limited Partner who is exercising the Exchange Right (the “Exchanging Partner”); provided, however,
that the Partnership shall not be obligated to satisfy such Exchange Right if the General Partner elects to purchase the Partnership Units subject to the Notice of Exchange pursuant to Section 8.05(b); and provided, further, that no Limited Partner
may deliver more than two Notices of Exchange during each calendar year. A Limited Partner may not exercise the Exchange Right for less than 1,000 Partnership Units or, if such Limited Partner holds less than 1,000 Partnership Units, all of the
Partnership Units held by such Partner. The Exchanging Partner shall have no right, with respect to any Partnership Units so exchanged, to receive any distribution paid with respect to Partnership Units if the record date for such distribution is on
or after the Specified Exchange Date. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 8.05(a), a Limited Partner that exercises the Exchange Right shall be deemed to have offered to sell the Partnership Units described in the Notice of Exchange to the General Partner, and the General Partner may, in its sole and
absolute discretion, elect to purchase directly and acquire such Partnership Units by paying to the Exchanging Partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount, as elected by the General Partner (in its sole and absolute discretion), on the
Specified Exchange Date, whereupon the General Partner shall acquire the Partnership Units offered for exchange by the Exchanging Partner and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of such Partnership Units. If the General
Partner shall elect to exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units under this Section 8.05(b) with respect to a Notice of Exchange, it shall so notify the Exchanging Partner within five Business Days after the receipt by the General Partner of
such Notice of Exchange. Unless the General Partner (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units from the Exchanging Partner pursuant to this Section 8.05(b), the General Partner shall not have any
obligation to the Exchanging Partner or the Partnership with respect to the Exchanging Partner’s exercise of the Exchange Right. In the event the General Partner shall exercise its right to purchase Partnership Units with respect to the

  

 29 

 
exercise of a Exchange Right in the manner described in the first sentence of this Section 8.05(b), the Partnership shall have no obligation to pay any
amount to the Exchanging Partner with respect to such Exchanging Partner’s exercise of such Exchange Right, and each of the Exchanging Partner, the Partnership, and the General Partner, as the case may be, shall treat the transaction between
the General Partner, as the case may be, and the Exchanging Partner for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the Exchanging Partner’s Partnership Units to the General Partner, as the case may be. Each Exchanging Partner agrees to execute
such documents as the General Partner may reasonably require in connection with the issuance of REIT Shares upon exercise of the Exchange Right. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a) and 8.05(b), a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to exercise the Exchange Right if the delivery
of REIT Shares to such Partner on the Specified Exchange Date by the General Partner pursuant to Section 8.05(b) (regardless of whether or not the General Partner would in fact exercise its rights under Section 8.05(b)) would (i) result in such
Partner or any other person owning, directly or indirectly, REIT Shares in excess of the Ownership Limitation (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation and calculated in accordance therewith), except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation,
(ii) result in REIT Shares being owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation, (iii) result in the General Partner being “closely held”
within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code, or (iv) cause the General Partner to own, directly or constructively, 10% or more of the ownership interests in a tenant, within the meaning of Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code. The General Partner,
in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive the restriction on exchange set forth in this Section 8.05(c). 
  
 (d) Any Cash Amount to be paid to an Exchanging Partner pursuant to this Section 8.05 shall be paid on the Specified Exchange Date; provided, however,
that the General Partner may elect to cause the Specified Exchange Date to be delayed for up to an additional 180 days to the extent required for the General Partner to cause additional REIT Shares to be issued to provide financing to be used to
make such payment of the Cash Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner agrees to use its best efforts to cause the closing of the acquisition of exchanged Partnership Units hereunder to occur as quickly as reasonably possible.

  
 (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
General Partner shall place appropriate restrictions on the ability of the Limited Partners to exercise their Exchange Rights as and if deemed necessary to ensure that the Partnership does not constitute a “publicly traded partnership”
under section 7704 of the Code. If and when the General Partner determines that imposing such restrictions is necessary, the General Partner shall give prompt written notice thereof (a “Restriction Notice”) to each of the Limited Partners,
which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of an opinion of counsel to the Partnership which states that, in the opinion of such counsel, restrictions are necessary in order to avoid the Partnership being treated as a “publicly traded
partnership” under section 7704 of the Code.

 ARTICLE IX 
 TRANSFERS AND REDEMPTIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS 
  
 9.01 Purchase for Investment. 
  
 (a) Each Limited Partner hereby represents and warrants to the General Partner and to the Partnership that the acquisition of his Partnership Interests is
made as a principal for his account for investment purposes only and not with a view to the resale or distribution of such Partnership Interest. 
  
 (b) Each Limited Partner agrees that he will not sell, assign or otherwise transfer his Partnership Interest or any fraction thereof, whether voluntarily
or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise, to any Person who does not make the representations and warranties to the General Partner set forth in Section 9.01(a) above and similarly agree not to sell, assign or transfer such
Partnership Interest or fraction thereof to any Person who does not similarly represent, warrant and agree. 
  
 9.02 Restrictions on Transfer of Limited Partnership Interests. 
  
 (a) Subject to the provisions of 9.02(b), (c) and (d), no Limited Partner may offer, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of his Limited Partnership Interest, or any of such Limited Partner’s economic rights as a Limited Partner, whether voluntarily or by operation of law or at judicial sale or otherwise (collectively, a
“Transfer”) without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Any such purported transfer undertaken without such consent shall be considered to be null and void
ab initio and shall not be given effect. The General Partner may require, as a condition of any Transfer to which it consents, that the transferor assume all costs incurred by the Partnership in connection therewith. 
  
 (b) No Limited Partner may withdraw from the Partnership other than as a
result of a permitted Transfer (i.e., a Transfer consented to as contemplated by clause (a) above or clause (c) below or a Transfer pursuant to 9.05 below) of all of his Partnership Units pursuant to this Article IX or pursuant to an exchange of all
of his Partnership Units pursuant to 8.05. Upon the permitted Transfer or redemption of all of a Limited Partner’s Partnership Units, such Limited Partner shall cease to be a Limited Partner. 
  
 (c) Subject to 9.02(d), (e) and (f) below, a Limited Partner may Transfer,
with the consent of the General Partner, all or a portion of his Partnership Units to (i) a parent or parent’s spouse, natural or adopted descendant or descendants, spouse of such descendant, or brother or sister, or a trust created by such
Limited Partner for the benefit of such Limited Partner and/or any such person(s), of which trust such Limited Partner or any such person(s) is a trustee, (ii) a corporation controlled by a Person or Persons named in (i) above, or (iii) if the
Limited Partner is an entity, its beneficial owners. 
  
 (d) No
Limited Partner may effect a Transfer of its Limited Partnership Interest, in whole or in part, if, in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, such proposed Transfer 
  

 31 

 
would violate any applicable federal or state securities or blue sky law (including investment suitability standards). 
  
 (e) No Transfer by a Limited Partner of its Partnership Units, in whole or in
part, may be made to any Person if (i) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, the transfer would result in the Partnership’s being treated as an association taxable as a corporation (other than a qualified REIT subsidiary within
the meaning of Section 856(i) of the Code), (ii) in the opinion of legal counsel for the Partnership, it 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, or (iii) 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. 
  
 (f) 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 or redeem for the Cash Amount 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. 
  
 (g)

consent may be given or denied in the exercise of the General Partner’s sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 (b) For the purpose of allocating Profits and Losses and distributing cash received by the Partnership, a Substitute Limited Partner shall be treated as

 9.05 Effect of Bankruptcy, Death, Incompetence or Termination of a Limited Partner. The occurrence
of an Event of Bankruptcy as to a Limited Partner, the death of a Limited Partner or a final adjudication that a Limited Partner is incompetent (which term shall include, but not be limited to, insanity) shall not cause the termination or
dissolution of the Partnership, and the business of the Partnership shall continue if an order for relief in a bankruptcy proceeding is entered against a Limited Partner, the trustee or receiver of his estate or, if he dies, his executor,
administrator or trustee, or, if he is finally adjudicated incompetent, his committee, guardian or conservator, shall have the rights of such Limited Partner for the purpose of settling or managing his estate property and such power as the bankrupt,
deceased or incompetent Limited Partner possessed to assign all or any part of his Partnership Interest and to join with the assignee in satisfying conditions precedent to the admission of the assignee as a Substitute Limited Partner. 
  
 9.06 Joint Ownership of Interests. A Partnership Interest may be
acquired by two individuals as joint tenants with right of survivorship, provided that such individuals either are married or are related and share the same home as tenants in common. The written consent or vote of both owners of any such jointly
held Partnership Interest shall be required to constitute the action of the owners of such Partnership Interest; provided, however, that the written consent of only one joint owner will be required if the Partnership has been provided with evidence
satisfactory to the counsel for the Partnership that the actions of a single joint owner can bind both owners under the applicable laws of the state of residence of such joint owners. Upon the death of one owner of a Partnership Interest held in a
joint tenancy with a right of survivorship, the Partnership Interest shall become owned solely by the survivor as a Limited Partner and not as an assignee. The Partnership need not recognize the death of one of the owners of a jointly-held
Partnership Interest until it shall have received notice of such death. Upon notice to the General Partner from either owner, the General Partner shall cause the Partnership Interest to be divided into two equal Partnership Interests, which shall
thereafter be owned separately by each of the former owners.

beneficial interest in itself. The number and class or series of Partnership Units redeemed and the redemption price shall equal the number (multiplied by the Conversion Factor) of shares of beneficial interest the General Partner redeems and the
redemption price at which the General Partner redeems such shares, respectively.

assistance in respect of any audit of the Partnership by the Service and all out-of-pocket expenses and fees incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership as Tax Matters Partner shall constitute Partnership expenses. In the event the
General Partner receives notice of a final Partnership adjustment under Section 6223(a)(2) of the Code, the General Partner shall either (i) file a court petition for judicial review of such final adjustment within the period provided under Section
6226(a) of the Code, a copy of which petition shall be mailed to all Limited Partners on the date such petition is filed, or (ii) mail a written notice to all Limited Partners, within such period, that describes the General Partner’s reasons

methods by which the exercise price of an Option may be paid, the form of payment, including, without limitation, cash, Shares, or other property (including “cashless exercise” arrangements), and the methods by which Shares shall be
delivered or deemed to be delivered to Participants; provided, however, that if Shares are used to pay the exercise price of an Option, such Shares must have been held by the Participant for at least six months. 
  
 (d) EXERCISE TERM. The term of each Option shall be
for the period as determined by the Committee, provided that in no event shall the term of any Stock Option exceed a period of five years from the Grant Date. 
  

7.2 LIMITATIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS. The Committee, in its absolute discretion, may impose such limitations and restrictions on the exercise
of Options as it deems appropriate. Any such limitation shall be set forth in the respective Option Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option shall not be exercisable if, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Committee, the exercise
of such Option would likely result in any of the following: 
  
 (a) the Participant’s or any other person’s ownership of Shares being in violation of the Stock Ownership Limit (as defined in the Company’s Charter); or 
  
 (b) income to the Company that could impair the
Company’s status as a real estate investment trust within the meaning of Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. 
  
 7.3. LIMITS ON TRANSFER. No right or interest of a Participant in any unexercised or restricted Option may be pledged, encumbered, or hypothecated
to or in favor of any party other than the Company or an Affiliate, or shall be subject to any lien, obligation, or liability of such Participant to any other party other than the Company or an Affiliate. No unexercised or restricted Option shall be
assignable or transferable by a Participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to a domestic relations order that would satisfy Section 414(p)(1)(A) of the Code if such Section applied to an Option under the Plan.

  
 7.4. BENEFICIARIES. Notwithstanding Section 7.3, a
Participant may, in the manner determined by the Committee, designate a beneficiary to exercise the rights of the 
  

 7 

 Participant and to receive any distribution with respect to any Option upon the Participant’s death. A beneficiary,
legal guardian, legal representative, or other person claiming any rights under the Plan is subject to all terms and conditions of the Plan and any Option Agreement applicable to the Participant, except to the extent the Plan and Option Agreement
otherwise provide, and to any additional restrictions deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee. If no beneficiary has been designated or survives the Participant, payment shall be made to the Participant’s estate. Subject to the
foregoing, a beneficiary designation may be changed or revoked by a Participant at any time provided the change or revocation is filed with the Committee. 
  
 7.5. STOCK CERTIFICATES. All Stock issuable under the Plan is subject to any stop-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee deems
necessary or advisable to comply with federal or state securities laws, rules and regulations and the rules of any national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Stock is listed, quoted, or traded. The Committee may place
legends on any Stock certificate or issue instructions to the transfer agent to reference restrictions applicable to the Stock. 
  
 7.6. ACCELERATION of VESTING. The Committee may in its sole discretion at any time determine that all or a portion of a Participant’s
Options shall become fully or partially exercisable, and/or that all or a part of the restrictions on all or a portion of the outstanding Options shall lapse, in each case, as of such date as the Committee may, in its sole discretion, declare. The
Committee may discriminate among Participants and among Options granted to a Participant in exercising its discretion pursuant to this Section 7.6. 
  
 7.7 EFFECT OF ACCELERATION. If an Option is accelerated under Section 7.6, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that the Option
will expire after a designated period of time after such acceleration to the extent not then exercised, (ii) that the Option will be settled in cash rather than Stock, (iii) that the Option will be assumed by another party to a transaction giving
rise to the acceleration or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted in connection with such transaction, (iv) that the Option may be settled by payment in cash or cash equivalents equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the
underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Option, or (v) any combination of the foregoing. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different
Participants whether or not such Participants are similarly situated. 
  
 7.8. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Whether military, government or other service or other leave of absence shall constitute a termination of employment shall be determined in each case by the Committee at its discretion, and any
determination by the Committee shall be final and conclusive. A Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant shall not be deemed to terminate (i) in a circumstance in which a Participant transfers from the Company to an Affiliate, transfers
from an Affiliate to the Company, transfers from one Affiliate to another Affiliate, or similar transfers to or from Wells Capital or Wells Management, or (ii) in the discretion of the Committee as specified at or 
  

 8 

 prior to such occurrence, in the case of a spin-off, sale or disposition of the Participant’s employer from the
Company or any Affiliate. 
  
 ARTICLE 8 
 CHANGES IN CAPITAL STRUCTURE 
  
 8.1. GENERAL. In the event of a corporate event or transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, stock
split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall be adjusted proportionately, and the Committee may
adjust Options to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of the Options. Action by the Committee may include: (i) adjustment of the number and kind of shares which may be delivered under the Plan; (ii) adjustment of the number and kind of
shares subject to outstanding Options; (iii) adjustment of the exercise price provisions under Section 7.1(a), the exercise price of outstanding Options, or the measure to be used to determine the amount of the benefit payable on an Option; and (iv)
any other adjustments that the Committee determines to be equitable. In addition, in the event of the Company’s dissolution, liquidation, reorganization, merger or consolidation as a result of which the Company is not the surviving corporation
or upon the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties, the Plan will terminate, and any outstanding Options will terminate and be forfeited. In such an event, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide (i) that
Options will be assumed by another party to a transaction or otherwise be equitably converted or substituted with options covering the stock of the successor corporation (or a parent corporation thereof) in connection with such transaction, (ii)
that the Plan and the Options will be continued under their original terms, or (iii) that outstanding Options may be settled by payment in cash, cash equivalents, or shares of common stock equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the
underlying Stock, as of a specified date associated with the transaction, over the exercise price of the Option. The Committee’s determination need not be uniform and may be different for different Participants whether or not such Participants
are similarly situated. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event of a subdivision of the outstanding Stock (stock-split), a declaration of a dividend payable in Shares, or a combination or consolidation of the outstanding Stock into a lesser
number of Shares, the authorization limits under Section 5.1 shall automatically be adjusted proportionately, and the Shares then subject to each Option shall automatically be adjusted proportionately without any change in the aggregate purchase
price therefor. 
  
 ARTICLE 9 
 AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION 
  
 9.1. AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION. The Board or the Committee may, at any time and from time to time, amend, modify or terminate the
Plan without shareholder approval; provided, however, that if an amendment to the Plan would, in the reasonable opinion of the Board or the Committee, either (i) materially increase the number of Shares issuable under the Plan, (ii) materially
modify the requirements for eligibility, or (iii) otherwise constitute a material change requiring 
  

 9 

 
shareholder approval under applicable laws, policies or regulations or the applicable listing or other requirements of an Exchange, then such amendment shall
be subject to shareholder approval; and provided, further, that the Board or Committee may condition any other amendment or modification on the approval of shareholders of the Company for any reason, including by reason of such approval being
necessary or deemed advisable to (i) permit Options made hereunder to be exempt from liability under Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, (ii) to comply with the listing or other requirements of an Exchange, or (iii) to satisfy any other tax, securities
or other applicable laws, policies or regulations. 
  
 9.2.
OPTIONS PREVIOUSLY GRANTED. At any time and from time to time, the Committee may amend, modify or terminate any outstanding Option without approval of the Participant; provided, however: 
  
 (a) Subject to the terms of the applicable Option Agreement,
such amendment, modification or termination shall not, without the Participant’s consent, reduce or diminish the value of such Option determined as if the Option had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such
amendment or termination (with the per-share value of an Option for this purpose being calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment or termination over the exercise or base price of such Option);

  
 (b) The original term of any Option may not
be extended without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; 
  
 (c) Except as otherwise provided in Article 8, the exercise price of any Option may not be reduced, directly or indirectly, without the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company; and 
  
 (d) No termination, amendment, or modification of the Plan
shall adversely affect any Option previously granted under the Plan, without the written consent of the Participant affected thereby. An outstanding Option shall not be deemed to be “adversely affected” by a Plan amendment if such
amendment would not reduce or diminish the value of such Option determined as if the Option had been exercised, vested, cashed in or otherwise settled on the date of such amendment (with the per-share value of an Option for this purpose being
calculated as the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value as of the date of such amendment over the exercise or base price of such Option). 
  
 ARTICLE 10 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS

  
 10.1. NO RIGHTS TO OPTIONS; NON-UNIFORM
DETERMINATIONS. No Participant or any Eligible Participant shall have any claim to be granted any Option under the Plan. Neither the Company, its Affiliates nor the Committee is obligated to treat Participants or Eligible Participants uniformly,
and determinations made under the 
  

 10 

 
Plan may be made by the Committee selectively among Eligible Participants who receive, or are eligible to receive, Options (whether or not such Eligible
Participants are similarly situated). 
  
 10.2. NO SHAREHOLDER
RIGHTS. No Option gives a Participant any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company unless and until Shares are in fact issued to such person in connection with such Option. 
  
 10.3. WITHHOLDING. The Company or any Affiliate shall have the authority and the right to deduct or withhold, or
require a Participant to remit to the Company, an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state, and local taxes (including the Participant’s FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to any exercise, lapse of restriction or
other taxable event arising as a result of the Plan. If Shares are surrendered to the Company to satisfy withholding obligations in excess of the minimum withholding obligation, such Shares must have been held by the Participant as fully vested
shares for at least six months. With respect to withholding required upon any taxable event under the Plan, the Committee may, at the time the Option is granted or thereafter, require or permit that any such withholding requirement be satisfied, in
whole or in part, by withholding from the Option Shares having a Fair Market Value on the date of withholding equal to the minimum amount (and not any greater amount) required to be withheld for tax purposes, all in accordance with such procedures
as the Committee establishes. 
  
 10.4. NO RIGHT TO CONTINUED
SERVICE. Nothing in the Plan, any Option Agreement or any other document or statement made with respect to the Plan, shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or any Affiliate to terminate any Participant’s
employment or status as an officer, director or consultant at any time, nor confer upon any Participant any right to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, whether for the duration of a
Participant’s Option or otherwise. 
  
 10.5. UNFUNDED
STATUS OF OPTIONS. The Plan is intended to be an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Option, nothing contained in the Plan or any Option
Agreement shall give the Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company or any Affiliate. 
  
 10.6. INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent allowable under applicable law, each member of the Committee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company from any loss, cost, liability, or expense (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees) that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by such member in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which
such member may be a party or in which he may be involved by reason of any action or failure to act under the Plan and against and from any and all amounts paid by such member in satisfaction of judgment in such action, suit, or proceeding against
him provided he gives the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he undertakes to 
  

 11 

 
handle and defend it on his own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification shall not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such
persons may be entitled under the Company’s Charter or Bylaws, as a matter of law, or otherwise, or any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 
  
 10.7. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER BENEFITS. No payment under the Plan shall be taken into account in determining any
benefits under any pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing, group insurance, welfare or benefit plan of the Company or any Affiliate unless provided otherwise in such other plan. 
  
 10.8. EXPENSES. The expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company and its Affiliates. 

 
 10.9. TITLES AND HEADINGS. The titles and headings of the Sections
in the Plan are for convenience of reference only, and in the event of any conflict, the text of the Plan, rather than such titles or headings, shall control. 
  

10.10. GENDER AND NUMBER. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any masculine term used herein also shall include the feminine; the
plural shall include the singular and the singular shall include the plural. 
  
 10.11. FRACTIONAL SHARES. No fractional Shares shall be issued and the Committee shall determine, in its discretion, whether cash shall be given in lieu of fractional Shares or whether such fractional Shares
shall be eliminated by rounding up. 
  
 10.12. GOVERNMENT AND
OTHER REGULATIONS. 
  
 (a) Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, no Participant who acquires Shares pursuant to the Plan may, during any period of time that such Participant is an affiliate of the Company (within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission under the 1933 Act), sell such Shares, unless such offer and sale is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, which is current and includes the Shares to be sold, or (ii) pursuant to an
appropriate exemption from the registration requirement of the 1933 Act, such as that set forth in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, if at any time the Committee shall determine that the registration, listing or
qualification of the Shares covered by an Option upon any Exchange or under any foreign, federal, state or local law or practice, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory body, is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in
connection with, the granting of such Option or the purchase or receipt of Shares thereunder, no Shares may be purchased, delivered or received pursuant to such Option unless and until such registration, listing, qualification, consent or approval
shall have been effected or obtained free of any condition not acceptable to the Committee. 
  

 12 

 
Any Participant receiving or purchasing Shares pursuant to an Option shall make such representations and agreements and furnish such information as the
Committee may request to assure compliance with the foregoing or any other applicable legal requirements. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificate or certificates for Shares under the Plan prior to the Committee’s
determination that all related requirements have been fulfilled. The Company shall in no event be obligated to register any securities pursuant to the 1933 Act or applicable state or foreign law or to take any other action in order to cause the
issuance and delivery of such certificates to comply with any such law, regulation or requirement. 
  
 10.13. GOVERNING LAW. To the extent not governed by federal law, the Plan and all Option Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of Maryland. 
  
 10.14
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Each Option Agreement may contain such other terms and conditions as the Committee may determine; provided that such other terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan. 
  
 10.15. NO LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The grant of any Option
shall not in any way affect the right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassification or changes in its capital or business structure or to merge, consolidate, dissolve, liquidate, sell or transfer all or any part of its business or
assets. The Plan shall not restrict the authority of the Company, for proper corporate purposes, to draft or assume Options, other than under the Plan, to or with respect to any person. If the Committee so directs, the Company may issue or transfer
Shares to an Affiliate, for such lawful consideration as the Committee may specify, upon the condition or understanding that the Affiliate will transfer such Shares to a Participant in accordance with the terms of an Option granted to such
Participant and specified by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan.

            , 2003 and by the shareholders on             , 2003.
