by CME as the Managing Director and Chief Information Officer of CME; 
  
 WHEREAS, CME and the Executive mutually agree that the Executive will resign from his position as Managing Director, Chief Information Officer of CME effective as of May 21, 2004 (the “Resignation Date”); and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Executive and CME wish to set forth the terms and conditions for

 NOW THEREFORE, the Executive and CME, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. Resignation. 
  
 (a) Effective as of the Resignation Date, the Executive shall resign from
his position as Managing Director and Chief Information Officer of CME and from any boards and officer or director positions, if any, with CME or any of its affiliates. The Executive agrees to execute any documents necessary to effectuate all such
resignations. CME acknowledges that on and after the Resignation Date, Executive shall not be an employee, officer, or identified insider following the Resignation Date CME will not take the position that Executive should be considered an affiliate

earned but unpaid portion of the Executive’s current base salary, (ii) any unpaid business expenses incurred prior to the Resignation Date in accordance with applicable policies of CME, and (iii) an amount equal to the payment due to the
Executive for all accrued unused vacation days, if any, as of the Resignation Date. 
  
 2. Separation; Exercise of Options; Sale of Stock . 
  
 (a) Provided that the Executive is and remains in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the covenants sets forth in

 Paragraphs 5 through 7 of this Agreement, and that the Release Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Release Agreement”) becomes effective pursuant to its terms, the Company shall, effective as of the Resignation Date, accelerate the vesting of stock options granted to the Executive by the Company which cover an aggregate of 5,000
shares of Company common stock (the “Accelerated Options”), which options shall not become exercisable until expiration of the non-competition period described in paragraph 6 below. The Executive shall be permitted to chose which stock
options shall be accelerated and, on or prior to the Effective Date of the Release Agreement, shall notify the Company in writing of the options so chosen. CME acknowledges that Executive also currently has 80,000 vested options at an exercise price
of $22.00 per share (the “Pre-Resignation Vested Options”) 
  
 (b) The Executive agrees that he shall not exercise any stock option granted to him by the Company until September 30, 2004. CME acknowledges and agrees that the Pre-Resignation Vested Options are not subject to termination, cancellation,
forfeiture or set-off for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to any breach of this Agreement. The Company agrees that effective May 22, 2004, the Pre-Resignation Vested Options and the Accelerated Options (“Vested Options”)
shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Company plan or the underlying agreement pursuant to which such stock option was granted, continue to be exercisable during the period from the Resignation Date (or from the Effective Date with
respect to the Accelerated Options) until December 31, 2004. At the end of such period, each Vested Option shall immediately terminate. Each stock option granted to the Executive by the Company that is not vested as of the Resignation Date (or will
not become vested pursuant to the preceding Paragraph) shall immediately terminate on the Resignation Date. 
  
 (c) The Company represents and warrants that it has due authority and has taken all steps necessary to accelerate the Accelerated Options and extend the
exercisability of the Vested Options as provided herein and Company indemnifies the Executive for any breach of such representation and warranty. 
  
 3. Assignment of Works. 
  
 (a) Employee acknowledges that any computer programs, documentation, works of authorship or other copyrightable works that Employee created in whole or in
part during Employee’s employment with CME shall: (i) be considered “works made for hire” under Section 101 of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101; (ii) be considered part of the Confidential Information defined herein.

  
 (b) The absence of a specific assignment of inventions in this
Agreement shall not modify any rights that CME may otherwise have under the law, including but not limited to the principles of hired-to-invent and “set to” invent, and the shop-right doctrine.

losses, debts and expenses of any nature whatsoever, known or unknown, which CME and the other CME Releasees ever had, now have or hereafter can, will or may have (either directly or indirectly) by reason of any matter, fact or cause whatsoever (i)
from the beginning of time to the date of this Agreement or (ii) arising out of, or relating to, the Executive’s employment and/or the end of his employment with CME; provided, however, CME expressly does not release or discharge
the Executive from any claims, rights, demands, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts, complaints, actions and causes of action which are based upon acts or 
  

 3 

 omissions that involve breach of the Executive’s fiduciary duty to CME, its members or the CME Releasees,
intentional misconduct, fraud, bad faith or violation of applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Paragraph 4(c) shall impair CME’s right to seek enforcement of this Agreement. 
  
 (d) The Executive acknowledges and agrees that CME has fully satisfied any
and all obligations owed to the Executive arising out of the Executive’s employment with CME, and no further sums are owed to the Executive by CME or by any of the other CME Releasees, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and under
the Company’s benefit plans. 
  
 (e) The Executive
acknowledges and agrees that any right to continue to contribute to CME’s 401(k) plans for employees will end on the Resignation Date. Furthermore, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that any payments made pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this
Agreement shall not be included in any computation of earnings under CME’s 401(k) plans or any other plan. 
  
 (f) The Executive represents that he has no complaints, charges or lawsuits pending against CME or any of the other CME Releasees. The Executive further
covenants and agrees that neither he nor his heirs, executors, administrators, successors or assigns will be entitled to any personal recovery in any proceeding of any nature whatsoever against CME or any of the other CME Releasees arising out of
any of the matters released in this Paragraph 4. 
  
 5.
Confidentiality; Return of CME Property. 
  
 (a)
The Executive agrees that he will keep the negotiations and the terms and existence of this Agreement completely confidential. 
  
 (b) The Executive agrees and acknowledges that he will not at any time disclose any of CME’s Confidential Information. As used herein,
“Confidential Information” refers to any information about CME which is not generally known by or available to the public, including but not limited to, any valuable and proprietary information that gives CME a business advantage over
others who do not have such information, including but not limited to, trade secrets; business plans and proposals; prospect and customer lists; trading methodologies; marketing plans, systems and programs; training materials; research data bases;
computer software; and other technical, business, and financial information of CME not generally known to the public. 
  
 (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 5, the Executive may disclose any information (i) as may be required in the course of obtaining legal
advice with respect to the rights and obligations created hereby, (ii) as may be required in the preparation of federal, state or local tax returns or otherwise required under applicable law; (iii) as may be required to respond to a subpoena, court
order or similar legal process; provided, however, that prior to making any such disclosure, the Executive shall provide CME with written notice of the subpoena, court order or similar 
  

 4 

 legal process sufficiently in advance of such disclosure to afford CME a reasonable opportunity to challenge the
subpoena, court order or similar legal process, or (iv) to an immediate family member. 
  
 6. Non-Competition. For a period of six (6) months following the Resignation Date, the Executive will not (a) be employed in an executive or managerial capacity by, or (b) provide, whether as an
employee, independent contractor, consultant, or otherwise, any services of an executive or managerial nature or any services similar to those provided by the Employee to CME during Employee’s employment with CME to, any derivatives exchange or
clearing house. The Executive acknowledges that (i) CME is engaged in an intensely competitive business in which the development of proprietary information and customer relationships is crucial to success, (ii) the Executive has had access to
CME’s Confidential Information and customer relationships which CME has developed though significant investments of time and money, (iii) CME has clients located throughout the world, and (iv) the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 6 are
necessary to protect CME’s legitimate interests in its Confidential Information and existing customer relationships. 
  
 7. Non-Solicitation of Employees. For a period of one (1) year following the Resignation Date, the Executive agrees that he shall not
employ, retain, solicit, for employment or retention, knowingly assist in the employment or retention of, or seek to influence or induce to leave CME’s employment or service, any person who is employed or otherwise engaged by CME at any time
during the one-year period following the Resignation Date. The Executive acknowledges that Employer invests a substantial amount of time and money in recruiting and training, and shares Confidential Information with, its employees. The Executive
further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Paragraph 7 are necessary to protect CME’s legitimate interests in its Confidential Information and employee relationships. 
  
 8. Enforcement 
  
 (a) The Executive agrees that given the nature of CME’s business, the
scope and duration of the restrictions contained Paragraphs 5 through 7 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of CME and do not unduly interfere with the Executive’s career or economic
pursuits. The Executive recognizes and agrees that any breach or threatened or anticipated breach of any part of Paragraphs 5 through 7 of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm and continuing damage to CME, and that the remedy at law for
any such breach or threatened or anticipated breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies that may be available to CME, the Executive agrees that CME shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction
or injunctions, without bond or other security, to prevent any breach or threatened or anticipated breach of any such section. 
  
 (b) If any part of this Agreement is held void, illegal, or unenforceable, or in conflict with any applicable law, every other term of this Agreement
shall remain valid and fully enforceable. If any court refuses to enforce any part of this Agreement as written, the court shall modify that part to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable under applicable law, and shall enforce it as so
modified. 
  

 5 

 9. Waiver of Future Employment. The Executive acknowledges that he forever waives any
interest in, or claim to, any future employment with CME or any of its subsidiaries, divisions or affiliates. 
  
 10. No Admission of Wrongdoing. Nothing herein is to be deemed to constitute an admission of wrongdoing by CME or any of the other CME
Releasees or by Executive. 
  
 11. Consultation with
Attorney/Voluntary Agreement. The Executive acknowledges that (i) he has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Agreement (ii) CME has advised the Executive of his right to consult with an attorney prior to
executing this Agreement, and (iii) the Executive is entering into this Agreement, including the releases set forth in Paragraph 4 above, knowingly, freely and voluntarily in exchange for good and valuable consideration. 
  
 12. Mutual Nondisparagement. 
  
 (a) For a period of two years following the Resignation Date, the Executive
will not make, or cause to be made, any statement, observation or opinion disparaging the business or reputation of CME or any of its officers, directors or employees. 
  
 (b) CME will not and will advise its officers and directors that they should not intentionally make, or cause to be made,
any statement, observation or opinion disparaging the reputation of the Executive for a period of two years following the Resignation Date, 
  
 (c) Nothing contained in this Paragraph 12 shall preclude the parties from providing truthful testimony in response to a valid subpoena, court order,
regulatory request or as may be required by law or from any conversations with advisors bound by confidentiality, attorneys, or immediate family members. 
  
 13. Assignment. This Agreement is personal to the Executive and may not be assigned by the Executive. This Agreement is binding on, and will
inure to the benefit of, CME and the other CME Releasees and to Executive and the other Executive Releasees. 
  
 14. No Oral Modification; No Waivers. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but may be changed only in a writing signed by the Executive
and a duly authorized representative of CME. The failure of the Executive or CME to enforce any of the terms, provisions or covenants of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of the same or of the right of such party to enforce the same.
Waiver by either the Executive or CME of any breach or default by the other party of any term or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other breach or default.

 15. Descriptive Headings. The paragraph headings contained herein are for reference
purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
  
 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

partner(s), committee(s), trustee(s), beneficiaries, directors and/or stockholder(s), as the case may be, as required, (ii) the consummation of such transactions shall not result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, its certificate of

or otherwise distributing such interest or any part thereof at any particular time or under any predetermined circumstances. Each Partner further represents and warrants that it is a sophisticated investor, able and accustomed to handling
sophisticated financial matters for itself, particularly real estate investments, and that it has a sufficiently high net worth that it does not anticipate a need for the funds it has invested in the Partnership in what it understands to be a highly
speculative and illiquid investment. Each Partner represents, warrants and agrees that such Partner is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act).

registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available (it being understood that the Partnership has no intention of so
registering the Partnership Units) and any REIT Shares that might be issued in exchange for Partnership Units may not be registered under the Securities Act, which would limit the transferability of such REIT Shares in a manner similar to the
limitations described above for the Partnership Units and (ii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Partnership indicating that the Partnership Units are subject to restrictions on transfer. 
  
 E. Each Partner further represents, warrants, covenants and agrees as
follows: 
  
 (1) Except as provided in Exhibit D, at any time

respect to any Tenant that is a corporation, any stock of such Tenant, and (b) with respect to any Tenant that is not a corporation, any interests in either the assets or net profits of such Tenant. 
  
 (2) Upon request of the General Partner, it will promptly disclose to the
General Partner the amount of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the Company that it actually owns or Constructively Owns.

the Partnership’s actual or Constructive Ownership of REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the Company violates the limitations set forth in the Charter, then (x) some or all of the Redemption rights of the Partners may become
non-exercisable, and (y) some or all of the REIT Shares owned by the Partners may be automatically transferred to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary, as provided in the Charter. 
  
 F. The representations and warranties contained in Section 3.4 shall survive
the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Partner and the dissolution and winding up of the Partnership. 
  
 G. Each Partner hereby acknowledges that no representations as to potential profit, cash flows, funds from operations or yield, if any, in respect of the
Partnership or the General 
  

 -20- 

 Partner have been made by any Partner or any employee or representative or Affiliate of any Partner, and that projections
and any other information, including, without limitation, financial and descriptive information and documentation, which may have been in any manner submitted to such Partner shall not constitute any representation or warranty of any kind or nature,
express or implied.

is intended to qualify as a “real estate operating company” (as such term is defined in the Plan Asset Regulation). The General Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to structure the investments in, relationships with and

preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, powers, and duties, including rights, powers, and duties senior to then existing Limited Partner Interests, all as shall be determined by the General Partner in its sole and
absolute discretion, without the approval of any Limited Partners, subject to Maryland law, including without limitation, (i) the allocations of items of Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction, and credit to such class or series of Partnership
Interests; (ii) the rights, designations, preferences and priorities of each such class or series of Partnership Interests to share in Partnership distributions; (iii) the rights, designations, preferences and priorities of each such class or series
of Partnership Interests upon dissolution and liquidation of the Partnership; and (iv) the right to vote, including, without limitation, the Limited Partner approval rights set forth in Section 11.2.A. 
  
 C. Issuance of REIT Shares or Other Securities by the Company. From and after
the Company’s completion of its first public offering of REIT Shares, the Company shall not issue any additional REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the Company or New Securities (other than REIT Shares issued pursuant to Section 8.6
or pursuant to a dividend or distribution (including any stock split) of REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the Company or New Securities to all of its stockholders on a pro rata basis), other shares of capital stock of the 
  

 -22- 

 Company or New Securities unless (i) the Partnership shall issue to the Company, Partnership Interests or rights,
options, warrants or convertible or exchangeable securities of the Partnership having designations, preferences and other rights, all such that the economic interests thereof are substantially similar to those of the REIT Shares, other shares of
capital stock of the Company or New Securities and (ii) the Company shall contribute the net proceeds from the issuance of such additional REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the Company or New Securities, as the case may be, and from the
exercise of the rights contained in such REIT Shares, other capital stock of the Company or New Securities, as applicable, to the Partnership as a Capital Contribution. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company is expressly authorized to issue
REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the Company or New Securities for no tangible value or for less than fair market value, and the Company is expressly authorized to cause the General Partner to cause the Partnership to issue to the
Company corresponding Partnership Interests, so long as (x) the General Partner concludes in good faith that such issuance of Partnership Interests is in the interests of the Partnership; and (y) the Company contributes the net proceeds, if any,
from such issuance and exercise to the Partnership. 
  
 In
connection with the Company’s initial public offering of REIT Shares and any other issuance of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the Company or New Securities, the Company shall contribute to the Partnership any net proceeds raised in
connection with such issuance; provided, that if the net proceeds actually received by the Company 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 Company shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in the amount equal to the sum of the net proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such underwriter’s discount and other expenses paid by
the Company (which discount and expense shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for purposes of Section 7.4). In the case of issuances of REIT Shares other capital stock of the Company or New Securities pursuant to any
Stock Plan at a discount from fair market value or for no value, the amount of such discount representing compensation to the employee, as determined by the General Partner, shall be treated as an expense for the benefit of the Partnership for
purposes of Section 7.4 and, as a result, the Company shall be deemed to have made a Capital Contribution to the Partnership in an amount equal to the sum of any net proceeds of such issuance plus the amount of such expense. 
  
 D. Percentage Interest Adjustments in the Case of Capital Contributions for
Partnership Units. Upon the acceptance of additional Capital Contributions in exchange for any class or series of Partnership Units, the Percentage Interest in such class or series of Partnership Units shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of
which is equal to the amount of cash and the Agreed Value of the Property contributed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the additional Capital Contributions are made (an “Adjustment Date”) and the denominator
of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership Interests of such class or series (computed as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the aggregate Agreed Value of additional Capital
Contributions contributed by all Partners and/or third parties to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in such class or series of Partnership Interests. The Percentage Interest of each other Partner holding Partnership Interests of such class or
series not making a full pro rata Capital Contribution shall be adjusted to equal a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of such Limited Partner in respect of such class or series
(computed as of the Business Day 
  

 -23- 

 immediately preceding the Adjustment Date) and (ii) the Agreed Value of additional Capital Contributions, if any, made by
such Partner to the Partnership in such class or series of Partnership Interests as of such Adjustment Date, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the Deemed Value of the Partnership Interests of such class or series (computed as
of the Business Day immediately preceding the Adjustment Date), plus (ii) the aggregate Agreed Value of additional Capital Contributions contributed by all Partners and/or third parties to the Partnership on such Adjustment Date in such class or
series. Provided, however, solely for purposes of calculating a Partner’s Percentage Interest pursuant to this Section 4.3.D, (i) in the case of cash Capital Contributions by the Company funded by an offering of REIT Shares or other shares of
capital stock of the Company and (ii) in the case of the contribution of properties by the Company which were acquired by the Company in exchange for REIT Shares or other shares of capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such contribution,
the Company shall be issued a number of Partnership Units equal and corresponding to the number of such shares issued by the Company in exchange for such cash or Properties, the Partnership Units held by the other Partners shall not be adjusted, and
the Partners’ Percentage Interests shall be adjusted accordingly. The General Partner shall promptly give each Partner written notice of its Percentage Interest, as adjusted. 
  
 E. Issuance of PIUs. The General Partner may from time to time issue PIUs to Persons who provide services to the
Partnership, for such consideration as the General Partner may determine to be appropriate, and admit such Persons as Limited Partners. Subject to the following provisions of this Section 4.3.E and the special provisions of Sections 6.3(C), 8.7 and
8.8, PIUs shall be treated as Common Units, with all of the rights, privileges and obligations attendant thereto. For purposes of computing the Partners’ Percentage Interests, holders of PIUs shall be treated as Common Unit holders and PIUs
shall be treated as Common Units. In particular, the Partnership shall maintain at all times a one-to-one correspondence between PIUs and Common Units for conversion, distribution and other purposes, including without limitation complying with the
following procedures: 
  
 (i) If an Adjustment
Event (as defined below) occurs, then the General Partner shall make a corresponding adjustment to the PIUs to maintain a one-for-one conversion and economic equivalence ratio between Common Units and PIUs. The following shall be “Adjustment
Events”: (A) the Partnership makes a distribution on all outstanding Common Units in Partnership Units, (B) the Partnership subdivides the outstanding Common Units into a greater number of units or combines the outstanding Common Units into a
smaller number of units, or (C) the Partnership issues any Partnership Units in exchange for its outstanding Common Units by way of a reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Units. If more than one Adjustment Event occurs, the adjustment
to the PIUs need be made only once using a single formula that takes into account each and every Adjustment Event as if all Adjustment Events occurred simultaneously. For the avoidance of doubt, the following shall not be Adjustment Events: (x) the
issuance of Partnership Units in a financing, reorganization, acquisition or other similar business transaction, (y) the issuance of Partnership Units pursuant to any Stock Plan or (z) the issuance of any Partnership Units to the Company in respect
of a capital contribution to the Partnership of proceeds from the sale of securities by the Company. If the Partnership takes an action affecting the Common Units other than actions specifically described above as “Adjustment Events” and
in the opinion of 
  

 -24- 

 the General Partner such action would require an adjustment to the PIUs to maintain the one-to-one
correspondence described above, the General Partner shall have the right to make such adjustment to the PIUs, to the extent permitted by law and by the Stock Plan, in such manner and at such time as the General Partner, in its sole discretion, may
determine to be appropriate under the circumstances without the consent of any Limited Partner. If an adjustment is made to the PIUs as herein provided the Partnership shall promptly file in the books and records of the Partnership an officer’s
certificate setting forth such adjustment and a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment absent manifest error. Promptly after filing of such
certificate, the Partnership shall mail a notice to each PIU Holder setting forth the adjustment to his or her PIUs and the effective date of such adjustment; and 
  
 (ii) The PIU Holders shall, in respect of each Distribution Payment Date, when, as and if authorized and
declared by the General Partner out of assets legally available for that purpose, be entitled to receive distributions in an amount per PIU equal to the distributions per Common Unit (the “Common Unit Distribution”), paid to holders of
record on the same record date established by the General Partner with respect to such Distribution Payment Date. During any Distribution Period, so long as any PIUs are outstanding, no distributions (whether in cash or in kind) shall be authorized,
declared or paid on Common Units, unless equal distributions have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid on the PIUs for such Distribution Period. 
  
 The PIUs shall rank pari passu with the Common Units as to the payment of regular and special periodic distributions,
but shall be subordinate to the Common Units with respect to distributions upon liquidation of the Partnership to the extent of their positive Capital Account balance, if any. As to the payment of distributions and as to distribution of assets upon
liquidation, dissolution or winding up, any class or series of Partnership Units or Partnership Interests which by its terms specifies that it shall rank junior to, on a parity with, or senior to the Common Units shall also rank junior to, or
pari passu with, or senior to, as the case may be, the PIUs. Subject to the terms of any Vesting Agreement, a PIU Holder shall be entitled to transfer his or her PIUs to the same extent, and subject to the same restrictions as holders of
Common Units are entitled to transfer their Common Units pursuant to Article 11. 
  
 PIUs shall be subject to the following special provisions: 
  

	 	(i)	Vesting Agreements. PIUs may, in the sole discretion of the General Partner, be issued subject to vesting, forfeiture and additional restrictions on transfer pursuant to the terms
of a Vesting Agreement. The terms of any Vesting Agreement may be modified by the General Partner from time to time in its sole discretion, subject to any restrictions on amendment imposed by the relevant Vesting Agreement or by the Stock Plan, if
applicable. 

  

	 	(ii)	Forfeiture. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, upon the occurrence of any event specified in a Vesting Agreement resulting in 

  

 -25- 

 either the right of the Partnership or the General Partner to repurchase PIUs at a specified purchase
price or some other forfeiture of any PIUs, then if the Partnership or the General Partner exercises such right to repurchase or forfeiture in accordance with the applicable Vesting Agreement, then the relevant PIUs shall immediately, and without
any further action, be treated as cancelled and no longer outstanding for any purpose. Unless otherwise specified in the Vesting Agreement, no consideration or other payment shall be due with respect to any PIUs that have been forfeited, other than
any distributions declared with respect to a Partnership Record Date prior to the effective date of the forfeiture. In connection with any repurchase or forfeiture of PIUs, the balance of the portion of the Capital Account of the PIU Holder that is
attributable to all of his or her PIUs shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which it exceeds the target balance contemplated by Section 6.3(C), calculated with respect to the PIU Holder’s remaining PIUs, if any. 
  

	 	(iii)	Allocations. PIU Holders shall be entitled to certain special allocations of gain under Section 6.3(C). 

  

	 	(iv)	Redemption. The Redemption Right provided to Limited Partners under Section 8.6 shall not apply with respect to PIUs unless and until they are converted to Common Units as provided
in clause (vi) below and Section 8.7. 

  

	 	(v)	Conversion To Common Units. Vested PIUs will be converted into Common Units under Section 8.7. 

  

	 	(vi)	Voting. PIUs shall have the voting rights provided in Section 8.8. 

  
 Section 4.4. Other Contribution Provisions 
  
 In the event that any Partner is admitted to the Partnership and is given (or is treated as having received) a Capital Account in exchange for services
rendered to the Partnership, such transaction shall be treated by the Partnership and the affected Partner as if the Partnership had compensated such Partner in cash, and the Partner had contributed such cash to the capital of the Partnership. In
addition, with the consent of the General Partner, in its sole discretion, one or more Limited Partners may enter into agreements with the Partnership, in the form of a guarantee or contribution agreement, which have the effect of providing a
guarantee of certain obligations of the Partnership. 
  
 Section 4.5. No
Preemptive Rights 
  
 Except to the extent expressly granted by
the Partnership pursuant to another agreement, no Person shall have any preemptive, preferential or other similar right with respect to (i) additional Capital Contributions or loans to the Partnership or (ii) issuance or sale of any Partnership
Units or other Partnership Interests. 
  

 -26- 

 ARTICLE 5. 
 DISTRIBUTIONS 
  
 Section 5.1. Requirement and
Characterization of Distributions 
  
 The General Partner shall
cause the Partnership to distribute quarterly all, or such portion as the General Partner may in its discretion determine, of Available Cash generated by the Partnership to the Partners who are Partners on the applicable record date with respect to
such distribution, (1) first, with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interests that are entitled to any preference in distributions, in accordance with the rights of such class or series of Partnership Interests (and within such class or
series, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on the applicable record date), and (2) second, with respect to any class or series of Partnership Interests that are not entitled to any preference in distributions, such as
Common Units and PIUs, pro rata to each such class or series in accordance with the terms of such class or series to the Partners who are Partners of such class or series on the Partnership Record Date with respect to such distribution (and within
each such class or series, pro rata in proportion to the respective Percentage Interests on such Partnership Record Date). Unless otherwise expressly provided for herein or in an agreement, if any, entered into in connection with the creation of a
new class or series of Preferred Units created in accordance with Article 4, no Partnership Interest shall be entitled to a distribution in preference to any other Partnership Interest. The Company shall undertake such reasonable efforts, as
determined by it in its sole and absolute discretion and consistent with its qualification as a REIT, to cause the General Partner to cause the Partnership to distribute sufficient amounts to enable the Company, for so long as the Company has
determined to qualify as a REIT, to pay stockholder dividends that will (a) satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT under the Code and Regulations (“REIT Requirements”), and (b) except to the extent otherwise determined by the
Company, avoid any federal income or excise tax liability of the Company. 
  
 Section 5.2. Distributions in Kind 
  
 No right is given
to any Partner to demand and receive property other than cash. The General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to make a distribution in-kind to the Partners of Partnership assets, and such assets shall be distributed in such
a fashion as to ensure that the fair market value is distributed and allocated in accordance with Articles 5, 6 and 10. 
  
 Section 5.3. Distributions Upon Liquidation 
  
 Notwithstanding Section 5.1, proceeds from a Liquidating Event shall be distributed to the Partners in accordance with Section 13.2. 
  
 Section 5.4. Distributions to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests

  
 In the event that the Partnership issues additional
Partnership Interests to the General Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.B or 4.3.C or 4.3.E, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Article 5 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of
such additional Partnership Interests. In the absence of any agreement to the contrary, an Additional Limited Partner shall be entitled to the distributions set forth herein 
  

 -27- 

 (without regard to this Section 5.4) with respect to the period during which the closing of its contribution to the
Partnership occurs, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from and after the date of such closing through the end of the applicable period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such period.

  
 ARTICLE 6. 
 ALLOCATIONS 
  
 Section 6.1. Timing and Amount of Allocations of Net Income and Net Loss 
  
 Net Income and Net Loss of the Partnership shall be determined and allocated with respect to each fiscal year of the Partnership as of the end of each
such year. Subject to the other provisions of this Article 6, an allocation to a Partner of a share of Net Income or Net Loss shall be treated as an allocation of the same share of each item of income, gain, loss or deduction that is taken into
account in computing Net Income or Net Loss. 
  
 Section 6.2. General Allocations

  
 A. Allocation of Net Income and Net Losses. 
  
 (1) Net Income. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, Net Income for
any Partnership Year shall be allocated to the Partners in the following manner and order of priority: 
  
 (a) First, to the General Partner in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to the General Partner pursuant to
Section 6.2.A.2(d) for all prior Partnership Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 6.2.A.(1)(a) for all prior Partnership Years; 
  
 (b) Second, to each Partner in an amount equal to the remainder, if any, of the cumulative Net Losses allocated to each
Partner pursuant to Sections 6.2.A.2(a), (b) and (c) for all prior Partnership Years minus the cumulative Net Income allocated to such Partner pursuant to this Section 6.2.A.(1)(b) for all prior Partnership Years; 
  
 (c) Third, to each of the Partners in accordance with their respective
Percentage Interests. 
  
 In determining the amount of cumulative
Net Income and cumulative Net Losses allocated to a Partner, Net Income and Net Losses allocated to a predecessor or transferor to such Partner shall be taken into account. 
  
 To the extent the allocations of Net Income set forth above in any paragraph of this Section 6.2.A.(1) are not sufficient to
entirely satisfy the allocation set forth in such paragraph, such allocation shall be made in proportion to the total amount that would have been allocated pursuant to such paragraph without regard to such shortfall. 
  

 -28- 

 (2) Net Losses. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3, Net Losses for any Partnership Year shall be
allocated to the Partners in the following manner and order of priority: 
  
 (a) First, to the Partners in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests until the Capital Account of any Partner is zero; 
  
 (b) Second, to remaining Partners with positive Capital Account balances, in accordance with the Percentage Interests of
such Partners until the Capital Account of any such Partner is zero, 
  
 (c) Third, continuing to allocate among those Partners with positive Capital Account balance in accordance with Percentage Interests, until all Capital Accounts have been reduced to zero; and 
  
 (d) Fourth, to the General Partner. 
  
 B. Allocations to Reflect Issuance of Additional Partnership Interests. In
the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to the General Partner, a Limited Partner or any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3, the General Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 6.2 as it
determines are necessary to reflect the terms of the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests, including making preferential allocations to certain classes of Partnership Interests in accordance with any method selected by the General
Partner. 
  
 Section 6.3. Additional Allocation Provisions 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 6: 
  
 A. Regulatory Allocations. 
  
 (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in
Regulations Section 1.704-2(f), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, or any other provision of this Article 6, if there is a net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain during any fiscal year, each Holder shall be specially allocated items of
Partnership income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partnership Minimum Gain, as determined under Regulations Section 1.704-2(g). Allocations pursuant
to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f)(6) and
1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(i) is intended to qualify as a “minimum gain chargeback” within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(f) which shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulation and this Section
6.3.A(i). 
  
 (ii) Partner Minimum Gain
Chargeback. Except as otherwise provided in Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4), and notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, or any other provision of this Article 6 (except Section 6.3.A(i)), if there 
  

 -29- 

 is a net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to a Partner Nonrecourse Debt during any fiscal
year, each Holder who has a share of the Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(5), shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain for such
year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in Partner Minimum Gain attributable to such Partner Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(4).
Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Regulations Sections
1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2). This Section 6.3.A(ii) is intended to qualify as a “chargeback of partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Regulation Section 1.704-2(i) which shall be controlling in the event of a
conflict between such Regulation and this Section 6.3.A(ii). 
  
 (iii) Nonrecourse Deductions and Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. Any
Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any fiscal year shall be specially allocated to the Holder(s) who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which such Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable, in
accordance with Regulations Sections 1.704-2(b)(4) and 1.704-2(i). 
  
 (iv) Qualified Income Offset. If any Holder unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Partnership income and gain
shall be allocated, in accordance with Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), to the Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by such Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Holder as quickly
as possible provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 6.3.A(iv) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been
tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(iv) were not in this Agreement. It is intended that this Section 6.3.A(iv) qualify and be construed as a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d), which
shall be controlling in the event of a conflict between such Regulations and this Section 6.3.A(iv). 
  
 (v) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Holder has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any fiscal year which is in excess of the
sum of (1) the amount (if any) such Holder is obligated to restore to the Partnership, and (2) the amount such Holder is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) or the penultimate sentences of
Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Holder shall be specially allocated items of Partnership income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible, provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section
6.3.A(v) shall be made if and only to the extent that such Holder would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided in this Article 6 have been tentatively made as if this Section 6.3.A(v) and Section
6.3.A(iv) were not in this Agreement. 
  

 -30- 

 (vi) Limitation on Allocation of Net Loss. To the extent any allocation of Net Loss would
cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as to any Holder, such allocation of Net Loss shall be reallocated among the other Holders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests, subject to the limitations of this Section
6.3.A(vi). 
  
 (vii) Section 754 Adjustment. To
the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Partnership asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Code Section 743(b) is required, pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) or Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4),
to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts as the result of a distribution to a Holder in complete liquidation of his interest in the Partnership, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of
gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such gain or loss shall be specially allocated to the Holders in accordance with their interests in the Partnership in the event that
Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the Holders to whom such distribution was made in the event that Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies. 
  
 (viii) Curative Allocation. The allocations set forth in Sections 6.3.A(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi),
and (vii) (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain regulatory requirements, including the requirements of Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2, the
Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating other items of income, gain, loss and deduction among the Holders so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of other items and the Regulatory Allocations to
each Holder shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each such Holder if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred. 
  
 B. Excess Nonrecourse Liabilities. For purposes of determining a Holder’s proportional share of the “excess nonrecourse liabilities” of the
Partnership within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)(3), each Holder’s interest in Partnership profits shall be such Holder’s Percentage Interest. 
  
 C. Special Allocation of Gain to PIU Holders. Net capital gains realized in connection with the actual or hypothetical sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, including, but not limited to, net capital gain realized in connection with an adjustment to the Gross Asset Value of Partnership assets under Section 704(b) of the Code, shall be
allocated to the PIU Holders until the Economic Capital Account Balances of such Limited Partners, to the extent attributable to their ownership of PIUs, are equal to (i) the Common Unit Economic Balance, multiplied by (ii) the number of their PIUs.
For this purpose, the “Economic Capital Account Balances” of the PIU Holders will be equal to their Capital Account balances, plus the amount of their shares of any Partner Minimum Gain or Partnership 
  

 -31- 

 Minimum Gain, in either case to the extent attributable to their ownership of PIUs. Similarly, the “Common Unit
Economic Balance” shall mean (i) the Capital Account balance of the Company, plus the amount of the Company’s share of any Partner Minimum Gain or Partnership Minimum Gain, in either case to the extent attributable to the Company’s
ownership of Common Units and computed on a hypothetical basis after taking into account all allocations through the date on which any allocation is made under this clause 6.3(C), divided by (ii) the number of the Company’s Common Units. Any
such allocations shall be made among the PIU Holders in proportion to the amounts required to be allocated to each under this clause 6.3(C). The parties agree that the intent of this clause 6.3(C) is to make the Capital Account balances of the PIU
Holders with respect to their PIUs economically equivalent to the Capital Account balance of the Company with respect to its Common Units. Notwithstanding the preceding, in connection with an allocation of net capital gains determined as of a
particular date (the “Gain Determination Date”), in no event will the amount of net capital gain allocated to a group of PIU Holders with respect to PIUs issued on an earlier date (the “PIU Issuance Date”) exceed the product of
(x) the number of Common Units outstanding as of the PIU Issuance Date multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of (a) the Fair Market Value of a REIT Share on the Gain Determination Date over (b) the Fair Market Value of a REIT Share on the PIU
Issuance Date. 
  
 Section 6.4. Tax Allocations 
  
 A. In General. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.4, for income
tax purposes each item of income, gain, loss and deduction (collectively, “Tax Items”) shall be allocated among the Holders in the same manner as its correlative item of “book” income, gain, loss or deduction is allocated
pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.3. 
  
 B. Allocations Respecting
Section 704(c) Revaluations. Notwithstanding Section 6.4.A, Tax Items with respect to Partnership property that is contributed to the Partnership by a Partner shall be shared among the Holders for income tax purposes pursuant to Regulations
promulgated under Section 704(c) of the Code, so as to take into account the variation, if any, between the basis of the property to the Partnership and its initial Gross Asset Value. The Partnership shall account for such variation under any method
consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General Partner. In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Partnership asset is adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Gross Asset Value
(provided in Article 1), subsequent allocations of Tax Items with respect to such asset shall take account of the variation, if any, between the adjusted basis of such asset and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Section 704(c) of the
Code and the applicable regulations consistent with the requirements of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g) using any method approved under Section 704(c) of the Code and the applicable regulations as chosen by the General Partner. 

 
 ARTICLE 7. 
 MANAGEMENT AND OPERATIONS OF BUSINESS 
  
 Section 7.1. Management 
  
 A.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all management powers over the business and affairs of the Partnership are and shall be exclusively vested in the 
  

 -32- 

 General Partner, and no Limited Partner shall have any right to participate in or exercise control or management power
over the business and affairs of the Partnership. The General Partner may not be removed by the Limited Partners with or without cause. In addition to the powers now or hereafter granted a general partner of a limited partnership under applicable
law or which are granted to the General Partner under any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner, subject to the other provisions hereof including Sections 7.3 and 11.2, shall have full power and authority to do all things deemed
necessary, appropriate, convenient or desirable by it to conduct the business of the Partnership, to exercise all powers set forth in Section 3.2 and to effectuate the purposes set forth in Section 3.1, including, without limitation:

Partner or any Substituted Limited Partner or otherwise, which amendment and restatement, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement, as long as the matter or event being reflected
in Exhibit A hereto otherwise is authorized by this Agreement. 
  
 B. Each of the Limited Partners agrees that the General Partner is authorized to perform the actions authorized by Section 7.1.A and to execute, deliver and perform the above-mentioned agreements and transactions on behalf of the
Partnership without any further act, approval or vote of the Partners, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement (except as provided in Section 7.3 or 11.2), the Act or any applicable law, rule or regulation to the fullest extent
permitted under the Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation. The execution, 
  

 -35- 

 delivery or performance, the taking of any action or the failure to take any action, by the General Partner or the
Partnership of any agreement authorized or permitted under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach by the General Partner of any duty that the General Partner may owe the Partnership or the Limited Partners or any other Persons under this
Agreement or of any duty stated or implied by law or equity. 
  
 C. At all times from and after the date hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to obtain and maintain (i) casualty, liability and other insurance on the properties of the Partnership and (ii) liability insurance for the
Indemnities hereunder. 
  
 D. At all times from and after the date
hereof, the General Partner may cause the Partnership to establish and maintain working capital reserves in such amounts as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, deems appropriate and reasonable from time to time.

but shall be under no obligation to, take into account the tax consequences to any Partner (including the Company) of any action taken (or not taken) by the General Partner. The General Partner and the Partnership shall not have liability to a
Partner under this Agreement as a result of an income tax liability incurred by such Limited Partner as a result of an action (or inaction) by the General Partner pursuant to its authority under this Agreement. 
  
 F. 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 to make such payments 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. 
  
 Section 7.2. Certificate of Limited
Partnership 
  
 To the extent that such action is determined by
the General Partner to be necessary, reasonable or appropriate, the General Partner shall file amendments to and restatements of the Certificate and do all the things to maintain the Partnership as a limited partnership (or a partnership in which
the limited partners have limited liability) under the laws of the State of Maryland and each other state, the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own property, and no vote of the Limited
Partners shall be required in connection therewith. Subject to the terms of Section 8.5.A(4), the General Partner shall not be required, before or after filing, to deliver or mail a copy of the Certificate or any amendment thereto to any Limited
Partner. The General Partner shall use all reasonable efforts to cause to be filed such other certificates or documents as may be necessary or as it deems reasonable or appropriate for the formation, continuation, qualification and operation of a
limited partnership (or a partnership in which the limited partners have limited liability) in the State of Maryland, any other state, or the District of Columbia or other jurisdiction, in which the Partnership may elect to do business or own
property, and no vote of the Limited Partners shall be required in connection therewith. 
  

 -36- 

 Section 7.3. Restrictions on General Partner’s Authority 
  
 A. The General Partner may not take any action in contravention of an
express prohibition or limitation of this Agreement without the written Consent of the Limited Partners and may not (i) perform any act that would subject a Limited Partner to liability as a general partner in any jurisdiction or, except as provided
herein or under the Act, to any other liability; or (ii) enter into any contract, mortgage, loan or other agreement that prohibits or restricts, or has the effect of prohibiting or restricting, the ability of a Limited Partner to exercise its rights
to a Redemption in full, except in each case with the written consent of such Limited Partner. 
  
 B. The General Partner shall not, without the prior consent of the Partners holding Percentage Interests that in the aggregate are greater than 66 2/3% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of all the Partners (including in all cases the Limited Partner Interests owned directly or indirectly by the Company and in addition to
any Consent of the Limited Partners required by any other provision hereof), or except as provided in Section 7.3.C, amend, modify or terminate this Agreement. 
  
 C. Notwithstanding Section 7.3.B, the General Partner shall have the exclusive power and authority to amend this Agreement
as may be required to facilitate or implement any of the following purposes: 
  
 (1) to add to the obligations of the General Partner or surrender any right or power granted to the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner for the benefit of the Limited Partners; 
  
 (2) to reflect the issuance of additional Partnership Interests pursuant to
this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 4.3.B, 5.4 and 6.2B. or the admission, substitution, termination, or withdrawal of Partners in accordance with this Agreement; 
  
 (3) to reflect a change that is of an inconsequential nature and does not adversely affect the Limited Partners in any
material respect, or to cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision in this Agreement not inconsistent with law or with other provisions, or make other changes with respect to matters arising under this Agreement that will not be
inconsistent with law or with the provisions of this Agreement; 
  
 (4) to satisfy any requirements, conditions, or guidelines contained in any order, directive, opinion, ruling or regulation of a federal or state agency or contained in federal or state law; 
  
 (5) to reflect such changes as are reasonably necessary for the Company to
maintain its status as a REIT, including changes which may be necessitated due to a change in applicable law (or an authoritative interpretation thereof) or a ruling of the IRS; and 
  
 (6) to modify, as set forth in the definition of “Capital Account,” the manner in which Capital Accounts are
computed. 
  
 The General Partner will provide notice to the
Limited Partners when any action under this Section 7.3.C is taken. 
  

 -37- 

 D. Notwithstanding Sections 7.3.B and 7.3.C, this Agreement shall not be amended with respect to any
Partner adversely affected, and no action may be taken by the General Partner, without the Consent of such Partner adversely affected if such amendment or action would (i) convert a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership into a general
partner’s interest (except as the result of the General Partner acquiring such interest), (ii) modify the limited liability of a Limited Partner, (iii) alter rights of the Partner to receive distributions pursuant to Article 5 or Section
13.2.A(4), or the allocations specified in Article 6 (except as permitted or as a consequence of matters permitted pursuant to Sections 4.3, 5.4, 6.2.B and Section 7.3.C(3)), (iv) materially alter or modify the rights to a Redemption or the REIT
Shares Amount as set forth in Section 8.6, and related definitions hereof, or (v) amend this Section 7.3.D. Further, no amendment may alter the restrictions on the General Partner’s authority set forth elsewhere in this Section 7.3 or in
Section 11.2 without the Consent specified in such section. This Section 7.3D does not require unanimous consent of all Partners adversely affected unless the amendment is to be effective against all partners adversely affected. 
  
 Section 7.4. Reimbursement of the General Partner 
  
 A. Except as provided in this Section 7.4 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 Partnership shall be responsible for and shall pay all expenses
relating to the Partnership’s and the General Partner’s organization, the ownership of its assets and its operations. The General Partner is hereby authorized to pay compensation for accounting, administrative, legal, technical, management
and other services rendered to the Partnership. Except to the extent provided in this Agreement, the General Partner and its Affiliates 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 expenses that the General Partner and its Affiliates incur relating to the ownership and operation of, or for the benefit of, the Partnership (including, without limitation, administrative expenses); provided, that the
amount of any such reimbursement shall be reduced by any interest earned by the General Partner with respect to bank accounts or other instruments or accounts held by it on behalf of the Partnership. The Partners acknowledge that all such expenses
of the General Partner are deemed to be for the benefit of the Partnership. Such reimbursement shall be in addition to any reimbursement made as a result of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof. In the event that certain expenses are
incurred for the benefit of the Partnership and other entities (including the General Partner), such expenses will be allocated to the Partnership and such other entities in such a manner as the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion
deems fair and reasonable. All payments and reimbursements hereunder shall be characterized for federal income tax purposes as expenses of the Partnership incurred on its behalf, and not as expenses of the General Partner. 
  
 C. If the Company shall elect to purchase from its stockholders REIT Shares
for the purpose of delivering such REIT Shares to satisfy an obligation under any dividend reinvestment program adopted by the Company, any employee stock purchase plan adopted by the Company, or any similar obligation or arrangement undertaken by
the Company in the future or for the purpose of retiring such REIT Shares, the purchase price paid by the Company for such REIT 
  

 -38- 

 Shares and any other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with such purchase shall be considered expenses of
the Partnership and shall be advanced to the Company or reimbursed to the Company, subject to the condition that: (i) if such REIT Shares subsequently are sold by the Company, the Company shall pay to the Partnership any proceeds received by the
Company for such REIT Shares (which sales proceeds shall include the amount of dividends reinvested under any dividend reinvestment or similar program; provided, that a transfer of REIT Shares for Partnership Units pursuant to Section 8.6 would not
be considered a sale for such purposes); and (ii) if such REIT Shares are not retransferred by the Company within thirty (30) days after the purchase thereof, or the Company otherwise determines not to retransfer such REIT Shares, the Company shall
cause the General Partner to cause the Partnership to redeem a number of Partnership Units held by the Company equal to the number of such REIT Shares, as adjusted (x) pursuant to Section 7.5 (in the event the Company has acquired material assets,
other than on behalf of the Partnership) and (y) for stock dividends and distributions, stock splits and subdivisions, reverse stock splits and combinations, distributions of rights, warrants or options, and distributions of evidences of
indebtedness or assets relating to assets not received by the Company pursuant to a pro rata distribution by the Partnership (in which case such advancement or reimbursement of expenses shall be treated as having been made as a distribution in
redemption of such number of Partnership Units held by the Company). 
  
 D. As set forth in Section 4.3, the Company shall be treated as having made a Capital Contribution in the amount of all expenses that it incurs relating to the Company’s offering of REIT Shares, other shares of capital stock of the
Company or New Securities. 
  
 E. If and to the extent any
reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.4 constitute gross income of the General Partner (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership), such amounts shall constitute
guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital
Accounts. 
  
 Section 7.5. Outside Activities of the General Partner and the
Company 
  
 A. In the event the General Partner desires to
contribute cash to any Subsidiary Partnership to acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, the General Partner may acquire or maintain an interest of 1% or less in the capital of such partnership, and the
General Partner may acquire such cash from the Partnership as a loan or in exchange for a reduction in the General Partner’s Partnership Units, in an amount equal to the amount of such cash divided by the Fair Market Value of a REIT Share on
the day such cash is received by the General Partner. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may acquire Properties in exchange for REIT Shares, to the extent such Properties are immediately contributed by the General Partner to the
Partnership, pursuant to the terms described in Section 4.3.D. Any Limited Partner Interests acquired by the General Partner, whether pursuant to exercise by a Limited Partner of its right of Redemption, or otherwise, shall be automatically
converted into a General Partner Interest comprised of an identical number of Partnership Units with the same rights, priorities and preferences as the class or series so acquired. If, at any time, the General Partner acquires material assets (other
than on behalf of the Partnership) the definition of “REIT Shares Amount” and the definition of “Deemed Value of Partnership 
  

 -39- 

 Interests” shall be adjusted, as reasonably determined by the General Partner, to reflect the relative Fair Market
Value of a share of capital stock of the General Partner relative to the Deemed Partnership Interest Value of the related Partnership Unit. The General Partner’s General Partner Interest in the Partnership, its minority interest in any
Subsidiary Partnership(s) (held directly or indirectly through a Qualified REIT Subsidiary) that the General Partner holds in order to maintain such Subsidiary Partnership’s status as a partnership, and interests in such short-term liquid
investments, bank accounts or similar instruments as the General Partner deems necessary to carry out its responsibilities contemplated under this Agreement and the Charter are interests which the General Partner is permitted to acquire and hold for
purposes of this Section 7.5.A. 
  
 B. In the event the Company
exercises its rights under the Charter to purchase REIT Shares, other capital stock of the Company or New Securities, as the case may be, then the Company shall cause the General Partner to cause the Partnership to purchase from it a number of
Partnership Units equal to the number of REIT Shares, other capital stock of the Company or New Securities, as the case may be, so purchased on the same terms that the Company purchased such REIT Shares, other capital stock of the Company or New
Securities, as the case may be. 
  
 Section 7.6. Contracts with Affiliates

  
 A. The Partnership may lend or contribute to 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 Person. 
  
 B. Except as provided in Section 7.5.A,
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 consistent with this Agreement and
applicable law as the General Partner in its sole discretion deems advisable. 
  
 C. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion and without the approval of the Limited Partners, may propose and adopt on behalf of the Partnership employee benefit plans funded by the Partnership for the
benefit of employees of the General Partner, the Partnership, Subsidiaries of the Partnership or any Affiliate of any of them in respect of services performed, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of the Partnership, the General Partner, or any
of the Partnership’s Subsidiaries. The General Partner also is expressly authorized to cause the Partnership to issue to the Company Partnership Units corresponding to REIT Shares issued by the Company pursuant to any Stock Plan or any similar
or successor plan and to repurchase such Partnership Units from the Company to the extent necessary to permit the Company to repurchase such REIT Shares in accordance with such plan. 
  
 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 determined by the General Partner in good faith to be fair and reasonable. 
  

 -40- 

 E. The General Partner is expressly authorized to enter into, in the name and on behalf of the
Partnership, a right of first opportunity arrangement and other conflict avoidance agreements with various Affiliates of the Partnership and the Company, on such terms as the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, believes are
advisable. 
  
 Section 7.7. Indemnification 
  
 A. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Partnership shall indemnify
an Indemnitee from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, settlements, and other amounts arising from any and all claims, demands, actions,
suits or proceedings, civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, that relate to the operations of the Partnership as set forth in this Agreement in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or
otherwise, unless it is established that: (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith, fraud or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the
Indemnitee actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Without limitation, the
foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnitee, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership (including, without limitation, any indebtedness which the
Partnership or any Subsidiary of the Partnership has assumed or taken subject to), and the General Partner is hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Partnership, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the
provisions of this Section 7.7 in favor of any Indemnitee having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order or settlement does not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not
meet the requisite standard of conduct set forth in this Section 7.7.A. The termination of any proceeding by conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, or any entry of an order of probation prior to judgment, creates a
rebuttable presumption that the Indemnitee acted in a manner contrary to that specified in this Section 7.7.A. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.7 shall be made only out of the assets of the Partnership, and any insurance proceeds from
the liability policy covering the General Partner and any Indemnitee, and neither the General Partner nor any Limited Partner shall have any obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or otherwise provide funds to enable the
Partnership to fund its obligations under this Section 7.7, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership. 
  
 B. Reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the Partnership in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of (i) a written affirmation by the Indemnitee of the Indemnitee’s good faith belief that the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Partnership as authorized in
this Section 7.7 has been met, and (ii) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct has not been met. 
  
 C. The indemnification provided by this Section 7.7 shall be in addition to
any other rights to which an Indemnitee or any other Person may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant 
  

 -41- 

 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 unless otherwise provided in a written agreement pursuant to which such Indemnitee is indemnified. 
  
 D. The Partnership may, but shall not be obligated to, 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 7.7, 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 Section 7.7; 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 7.7 because the Indemnitee had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

  
 H. The provisions of this Section 7.7 are for the benefit of
the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.7 or any provision hereof shall be
prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the Partnership’s liability to any Indemnitee under this Section 7.7 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising
from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 
  
 I. If and to the extent any reimbursements to the General Partner pursuant to this Section 7.7 constitute gross income of
the General Partner or the Company (as opposed to the repayment of advances made by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership) such amounts shall constitute guaranteed payments within the meaning of Section 707(c) of the Code, shall be
treated consistently therewith by the Partnership and all Partners, and shall not be treated as distributions for purposes of computing the Partners’ Capital Accounts. 
  
 J. Any indemnification hereunder is subject to, and limited by, the provisions of Section 10-107 of the Act. 
  

 -42- 

 K. In the event the Partnership is made a party to any litigation or otherwise incurs any loss or expense
as a result of or in connection with any Partner’s personal obligations or liabilities unrelated to Partnership business, such Partner shall indemnify and reimburse the Partnership for all such loss and expense incurred, including legal fees,
and the Partnership interest of such Partner may be charged therefor. The liability of a Partner under this Section 7.7.K shall not be limited to such Partner’s Partnership Interest, but shall be enforceable against such Partner personally.

  
 Section 7.8. Liability of the General Partner 
  
 A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,
none of the General Partner nor any of its officers, directors, agents or employees shall be liable or accountable in damages or otherwise to the Partnership, any Partners or any Assignees, or their successors or assigns, for losses sustained,
liabilities incurred or benefits not derived as a result of any one or more acts or omissions, errors in judgment or mistakes of fact or law if the General Partner acted in good faith. 
  
 B. The Limited Partners expressly acknowledge that the General Partner is acting for the benefit of the Partnership, the
Limited Partners and the Company’s stockholders collectively. The General Partner is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the Limited Partners or the Company’s stockholders (including, without limitation, the
tax consequences to Limited Partners or Assignees or to stockholders) in deciding whether to cause the Partnership to take (or decline to take) any actions. If there is a conflict between the interests of the stockholders of the Company on one hand
and the Limited Partners on the other, the General Partner shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the conflict in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the Company or the Limited Partners; provided, however, that for so long as the
Company owns a controlling interest in the Partnership, any such conflict that cannot be resolved in a manner not adverse to either the stockholders of the Company or the Limited Partners shall be resolved in favor of the stockholders. The General
Partner shall not be liable under this Agreement to the Partnership or to any Partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Limited Partners in connection with such decisions or actions based on
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 7.1.A, the General Partner may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it
hereunder either directly or by or through its 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. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 7.8 or any provision
hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of the General Partner or that of any of its officers, directors, agents or employees to the Partnership and the Limited Partners that were provided
for under this Section 7.8 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal,
regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted. 
  

 -43- 

 Section 7.9. Other Matters Concerning the General Partner 
  
 A. The General Partner may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. 
  
 B. The General Partner may consult with legal counsel, accountants,
appraisers, management consultants, investment bankers and other consultants and advisers selected by it, and any act taken or omitted to be taken in reliance upon the opinion of such Persons as to matters which such General Partner reasonably
believes to be within such Person’s professional or expert competence shall be conclusively presumed to have been done or omitted in good faith and in accordance with such opinion. 
  
 C. The General Partner shall have the right, in respect of any of its powers or obligations hereunder, to act through any of
its duly authorized officers and a duly appointed attorney or attorneys-in-fact. Each such attorney shall, to the extent provided by the General Partner in the power of attorney, have full power and authority to do and perform all and every act and
duty which is permitted or required to be done by the General Partner hereunder. 
  
 D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any non-mandatory provision of 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 Company, for so long as the Company has determined to qualify as a REIT,
to continue to qualify as a REIT or (ii) to avoid the Company incurring any taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code, is expressly authorized under this Agreement and is deemed approved by all of the Limited Partners. 
  
 Section 7.10. Title to Partnership Assets 
  
 Title to Partnership assets, whether real, personal or mixed and whether
tangible or intangible, shall be deemed to be owned by the Partnership as an entity, and no Partners, 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. 
  

 -44- 

 Section 7.11. Reliance by Third Parties 
  
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person
dealing with the Partnership shall be entitled to assume that the General Partner has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Partnership and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the
Partnership, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the General Partner as if it were the Partnership’s sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Limited Partner hereby waives any and all defenses or other remedies
which may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the General Partner in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the General Partner or its representatives be obligated to
ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the General Partner or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed
on behalf of the Partnership by the General Partner or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate,
document or instrument, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Partnership and (iii) such
certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Partnership. 
  
 ARTICLE 8. 
 RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF LIMITED PARTNERS

Section 8.2. Management of Business 
  
 No Limited Partner or Assignee (other than the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of the
General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such) shall take part in the operations, management or control (within the meaning of the Act) of the Partnership’s business, transact any business in the
Partnership’s name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Partnership. The transaction of any such business by the General Partner, any of its Affiliates or any officer, director, employee, partner, agent or trustee of
the General Partner, the Partnership or any of their Affiliates, in their capacity as such, shall not affect, impair or eliminate the limitations on the liability of the Limited Partners or Assignees under this Agreement. 
  
 Section 8.3. Outside Activities of Limited Partners

  
 Subject to any agreements entered into by a Limited Partner
or its Affiliates with the General Partner, Partnership or a Subsidiary, any Limited Partner and any officer, director, employee, agent, trustee, Affiliate or stockholder of any Limited Partner shall be entitled to and may have business interests
and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Partnership, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Partnership 
  

 -45- 

 or that are enhanced by the activities of the Partnership. Neither the Partnership nor any Partners shall have any rights
by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any Limited Partner or Assignee. Subject to such agreements, none of the Limited Partners nor any other Person shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement or the partnership relationship
established hereby in any business ventures of any other Person, other than the Limited Partners benefiting from the business conducted by the General Partner, and such Person shall have no obligation pursuant to this Agreement to offer any interest
in any such business ventures to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or any such other Person, even if such opportunity is of a character which, if presented to the Partnership, any Limited Partner or such other Person, could be taken by such
Person. 
  
 Section 8.4. Return of Capital 
  
 Except pursuant to the rights of Redemption set forth in Section 8.6, no
Limited Partner shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of his or her Capital Contribution, except to the extent of distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon termination of the Partnership as provided herein. Except as expressly
set forth herein, no Limited Partner or Assignee shall have priority over any other Limited Partner or Assignee either as to the return of Capital Contributions, or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, or as to profits, losses,
distributions or credits. 
  
 Section 8.5. Rights of Limited Partners Relating to
the Partnership 
  
 A. In addition to other rights provided by
this Agreement or by the Act and except as limited by Section 8.5.C, each Limited Partner shall have the right to obtain: 
  
 (1) a copy of the most recent annual and quarterly reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act and each communication sent to the stockholders of the Company at such Limited Partner’s Expense; 
  
 (2) a copy of the Partnership’s federal, state and local income tax returns for each Partnership Year; and 
  
 (3) a copy of this Agreement and the Certificate and all amendments thereto.

  
 B. The Partnership shall notify each Limited Partner in
writing of any adjustment made in the calculation of the REIT Shares Amount within a reasonable time after the date such change becomes effective. 
  
 C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8.5 other than Section 8.5.D, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners,
for such period of time as the General Partner determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be reasonable, any information that (i) the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which
the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interests of the Partnership or (ii) the Partnership or the General Partner is required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential. 
  

 -46- 

 D. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Limited Partner also shall have the
rights provided by Section 10-305 of the Act. 
  
 Section 8.6. Redemption Rights

  
 A. On or after the date fourteen (14) months after (i) the
Effective Date, with respect to the Partnership Units acquired on or contemporaneously with the Effective Date, or on or after such later date as expressly provided in an agreement entered into between the Partnership and any Limited Partner, each
Limited Partner shall have the right (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in any other such agreement, as applicable) to require the Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner
(such Partnership Units being hereafter referred to as “Tendered Units”) in exchange for the Cash Amount (a “Redemption”); provided that the terms of such Partnership Units do not provide that such Partnership Units are not
entitled to a right of Redemption. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or in a separate agreement entered into between the Partnership and the holders of such Partnership Units, all Partnership Units shall be entitled to a right of
Redemption hereunder. The Tendering Partner shall have no right, with respect to any Partnership Units so redeemed, to receive any distributions paid on or after the Specified Redemption Date. Any Redemption shall be exercised pursuant to a Notice
of Redemption delivered to the General Partner by the Limited Partner who is exercising the right (the “Tendering Partner”). The Cash Amount shall be payable to the Tendering Partner within ten (10) days of the Specified Redemption Date.

  
 B. Notwithstanding Section 8.6.A above, if a Limited Partner
has delivered to the General Partner a Notice of Redemption then the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (subject to the limitations on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter) elect to acquire some or
all of the Tendered Units from the Tendering Partner in exchange for the REIT Shares Amount (as of the Specified Redemption Date) and, if the Company so elects, the Tendering Partner shall sell the Tendered Units to the Company in exchange for the
REIT Shares Amount. In such event, the Tendering Partner shall have no right to cause the Partnership to redeem such Tendered Units. The Company shall promptly give such Tendering Partner written notice of its election, and the Tendering Partner may
elect to withdraw its redemption request at any time prior to the acceptance of the cash or REIT Shares Amount by such Tendering Partner. 
  
 C. The REIT Shares Amount, if applicable, shall be delivered as duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable REIT Shares and, if
applicable, free of any pledge, lien, encumbrance or restriction, other than those provided in the Charter, the Bylaws of the Company, the Securities Act, relevant state securities or blue sky laws and any applicable registration rights agreement
with respect to such REIT Shares entered into by the Tendering Partner. Notwithstanding any delay in such delivery (but subject to Section 8.6.E), the Tendering Partner shall be deemed the owner of such REIT Shares for all purposes, including
without limitation, rights to vote or consent, and receive dividends, as of the Specified Redemption Date. In addition, the REIT Shares for which the Partnership Units might be exchanged shall also bear a legend which generally provides the
following: 
  

 -47- 

 THE SHARES OF STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON BENEFICIAL AND
CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CORPORATION’S MAINTENANCE OF ITS STATUS AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”). SUBJECT TO CERTAIN FURTHER
RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE CORPORATION’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION, (i) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF 9.8% (BY VALUE OR BY NUMBER OF SHARES,
WHICHEVER IS MORE RESTRICTIVE) OF THE OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION OR MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN A COMBINATION OF SHARES OF THE CORPORATION’S STOCK (INCLUDING COMMON STOCK AND PREFERRED STOCK) IN EXCESS OF 9.8% OF THE
AGGREGATE VALUE OF THE CORPORATION’S OUTSTANDING STOCK; (ii) NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF STOCK THAT WOULD RESULT IN THE CORPORATION BEING “CLOSELY HELD” UNDER SECTION 856(h) OF THE CODE OR OTHERWISE
CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; AND (iii) NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER SHARES OF STOCK IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD RESULT IN THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100 PERSONS. ANY PERSON WHO BENEFICIALLY OR
CONSTRUCTIVELY OWNS OR ATTEMPTS TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF STOCK IN VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MUST IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE CORPORATION. IF ANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OR OWNERSHIP IS VIOLATED, THE SHARES OF STOCK
REPRESENTED HEREBY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED TO THE TRUSTEE OF A TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONE OR MORE CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION MAY REDEEM SHARES UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THAT OWNERSHIP OR A TRANSFER OR OTHER EVENT MAY VIOLATE THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. FURTHERMORE, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN EVENTS, ATTEMPTED TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF THE
RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. ALL TERMS IN THIS LEGEND THAT ARE DEFINED IN THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THE ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION, AS THE
SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH, INCLUDING THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP, WILL BE FURNISHED TO EACH HOLDER OF SHARES OF STOCK ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE. REQUESTS FOR SUCH A COPY MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE
SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL OFFICE. 
  
 D. Each
Limited Partner covenants and agrees with the Company that all Tendered Units shall be delivered to the Company free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances whatsoever and should any such liens, claims and/or encumbrances exist or arise with
respect to such Tendered Units, the Company shall be under no obligation to acquire the same. Each Limited Partner further agrees that, in the event any state or local property transfer tax is payable as a result of the transfer of its Tendered
Units to the Company (or its designee), such Limited Partner shall assume and pay such transfer tax. 
  

 -48- 

 E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.6.A, 8.6.B, 8.6.C or any other provision of this
Agreement, a Limited Partner (i) shall not be entitled to effect a Redemption for cash or an exchange for REIT Shares to the extent the ownership or right to acquire REIT Shares pursuant to such exchange by such Partner on the Specified Redemption
Date could cause such Partner or any other Person to violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of REIT Shares set forth in the Charter and (ii) shall have no rights under this Agreement to acquire REIT Shares which would otherwise be
prohibited under the Charter. To the extent any attempted Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares would be in violation of this Section 8.6.E, it shall be null and void ab initio and such Limited Partner shall not acquire any rights or economic
interest in the cash otherwise payable upon such Redemption or the REIT Shares otherwise issuable upon such exchange. 
  
 F. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but subject to Section 8.6.E), with respect to any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to
this Section 8.6: 
  
 (1) Without the consent of the General
Partner, no Limited Partner may effect a Redemption for less than 1,000 Partnership Units or, if the Limited Partner holds less than 1,000 Partnership Units, all of the Partnership Units held by such Limited Partner. 
  
 (2) Without the consent of the General Partner, no Limited Partner may effect
a Redemption during the period after the Partnership Record Date with respect to a distribution and before the record date established by the General Partner for a distribution to its stockholders of some or all of its portion of such distribution.

  
 (3) The consummation of any Redemption or exchange for REIT
Shares shall be subject to the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, if any, under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. 
  
 (4) Each Tendering Partner shall continue to own all Partnership Units subject to any Redemption or exchange for REIT
Shares, and be treated as a Limited Partner with respect to such Partnership Units for all purposes of this Agreement, until such Partnership Units are transferred and paid for or exchanged on the Specified Redemption Date. Until a Specified
Redemption Date, the Tendering Partner shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to such Tendering Partner’s Partnership Units. 
  
 G. In the event that the Partnership issues additional Partnership Interests to any Additional Limited Partner pursuant to Section 4.3.B, the General
Partner shall make such revisions to this Section 8.6 as it determines are necessary to reflect the issuance of such additional Partnership Interests. 
  
 Section 8.7. Conversion of PIUs. 
  
 A. PIUs will automatically convert into an equal number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Units, giving effect to all adjustments (if any) made
pursuant to Section 4.3.E, at such time (a “Conversion Date”) as the Economic Capital Account Balance attributable 
  

 -49- 

 to such PIUs is equal to the Common Unit Economic Balance, in each case as determined as of the effective date of
conversion (the “Capital Account Limitation”). The resulting Common Units will be vested or unvested in accordance with the Vesting Agreement governing the converted PIUs. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a holder of PIUs may deliver a Redemption Notice pursuant to Section 8.6.A
of the Partnership Agreement relating to those Common Units that will be issued to such holder upon conversion of such PIUs into Common Units in advance of the Conversion Date; provided, however, that the redemption of such Common Units by the
Partnership shall in no event take place until after the Conversion Date. For clarity, it is noted that the objective of this paragraph is to put a PIU Holder in a position where, if he or she so wishes, the Common Units into which his or her Vested
PIUs will be converted can be redeemed by the Partnership simultaneously with such conversion, with the further consequence that, if the Company elects to assume the Partnership’s redemption obligation with respect to such Common Units under
Section 8.6(B) of the Partnership Agreement by delivering to such holder REIT Shares rather than cash, then such holder can have such REIT Shares issued to him or her simultaneously with the conversion of his or her Vested PIUs into Common Units.
The General Partner and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with a PIU Holder to coordinate the timing of the different events described in the foregoing sentence. 
  
 B. If the Partnership or the General Partner shall be a party to any transaction (including, without limitation, a merger,
consolidation, unit exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Common Units or other business combination or reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, but excluding any transaction which
constitutes an Adjustment Event) in each case as a result of which Common Units shall be exchanged for or converted into the right, or the holders of such Units shall otherwise be entitled, to receive cash, securities or other property or any
combination thereof (each of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Transaction”), the PIUs held by each PIU Holder will be converted into a number of Common Units equal to the Economic Capital Account Balance of the PIU Holder (to
the extent attributable to its ownership of PIUs) divided by the Common Unit Economic Balance. For this purposes, the Economic Capital Account Balance of the PIU Holder will be adjusted by taking into account any allocations that occur in connection
with the Transaction or that would occur in connection with the Transaction if the assets of the Partnership were sold at the Transaction price or, if applicable, at a value determined by the General Partner in good faith using the value attributed
to the Partnership Units in the context of the Transaction (in which case the Conversion Date shall be the effective date of the Transaction). The Common Units received in the Conversion will be vested or unvested in accordance with the Vesting
Agreement governing the converted PIUs. 
  
 In anticipation of
such Conversion and the consummation of the Transaction, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each PIU Holder to be afforded the right to receive in connection with such Transaction in consideration for the Common Units
into which his or her PIUs will be converted the same kind and amount of cash, securities and other property (or any combination thereof) receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of the same number of Common Units, assuming
such holder of Common Units is not a Person with which the Partnership consolidated or into which the 
  

 -50- 

 Partnership merged or which merged into the Partnership or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be (a
“Constituent Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person. In the event that holders of Common Units have the opportunity to elect the form or type of consideration to be received upon consummation of the Transaction, prior to such
Transaction the General Partner shall give prompt written notice to each PIU Holder of such election, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to afford the PIU Holders the right to elect, by written notice to the General Partner, the form or
type of consideration to be received upon conversion of each PIU held by such holder into Common Units in connection with such Transaction. If a PIU Holder fails to make such an election, such holder (and any of its transferees) shall receive upon
conversion of each PIU held him or her (or by any of his or her transferees) the same kind and amount of consideration that a holder of a Common Unit would receive if such Common Unit holder failed to make such an election. 
  
 Subject to the rights of the Partnership and the Company under any Vesting
Agreement and the Stock Plan, the Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the terms of any Transaction to be consistent with the provisions of this Section 8.7(B) and to enter into an agreement with the successor or purchasing
entity, as the case may be, for the benefit of any PIU Holders whose PIUs will not be converted into Common Units in connection with the Transaction that will (i) contain provisions enabling the holders of PIUs that remain outstanding after such
Transaction to convert their PIUs into securities as comparable as reasonably possible under the circumstances to the Common Units and (ii) preserve as far as reasonably possible under the circumstances the distribution, special allocation,
conversion, and other rights set forth in the Partnership Agreement for the benefit of the PIU Holders. 
  
 Section 8.8. Voting Rights of PIUs 
  
 PIU Holders shall: 
  
 (a) have those voting rights
required from time to time by applicable law, if any; and (b) have the additional voting rights that are expressly set forth below. So long as any PIUs remain outstanding, the Partnership shall not, without the affirmative vote of the holders of at
least a majority of the PIUs outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting separately as a class), amend, alter or repeal, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, the provisions of the
Partnership Agreement applicable to PIUs so as to materially and adversely affect any right, privilege or voting power of the PIUs or the PIU Holders as such, unless such amendment, alteration, or repeal affects equally, ratably and proportionately
the rights, privileges and voting powers of the holders of Common Units; but subject, in any event, to the following provisions: 
  
 (i) With respect to any Transaction, so long as the PIUs are treated in accordance with Section 8.7.B hereof, the consummation of such
Transaction shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the PIUs or the PIU Holders as such; and 
  
 (ii) Any creation or issuance of any Partnership Units or of any class or series of Partnership Interest
including without limitation additional Common Units, PIUs or Preferred Units, whether ranking senior to, junior to, or on a 
  

 -51- 

 
parity with the PIUs with respect to distributions and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed to
materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the PIUs or the PIU Holders as such. The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote
would otherwise be required will be effected, all outstanding PIUs shall have been converted into Common Units. 
  
 ARTICLE 9. 
 BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS 
  
 Section 9.1. Records and Accounting 
  
 A. The General Partner shall keep or cause to be kept at the principal
office of the Partnership appropriate books and records with respect to the Partnership’s business, including without limitation, all books and records necessary to provide to the Limited Partners any information, lists and copies of documents
required to be provided pursuant to Section 9.3. Any records maintained by or on behalf of the Partnership in the regular course of its business may be kept on, or be in the form of any information storage device, provided, that the records so
maintained are convertible into clearly legible written form within a reasonable period of time. 
  
 B. The books of the Partnership shall be maintained, for financial and tax reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. 
  
 Section 9.2. Fiscal Year 
  
 The fiscal year of the Partnership shall be the calendar year. 

 
 Section 9.3. Reports 
  
 A. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 105 days after the close of each Partnership Year, or such earlier
date as they are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner as of the close of the Partnership Year, an annual report containing financial statements of the Partnership, or
of the Company if such statements are prepared solely on a consolidated basis with those of the Company, for such Partnership Year, presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such statements to be audited by a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants selected by the General Partner. 
  
 B. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after the close of each calendar quarter (except the last calendar quarter of each year), or such earlier date as they are filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the General Partner shall cause to be mailed to each Limited Partner as of the last day of the calendar quarter, a report containing unaudited financial statements of the Partnership, or of the Company, if such statements are
prepared solely on a consolidated basis with those of the Company, or as the General Partner determines to be appropriate. 
  

 -52- 

 Section 9.4. Nondisclosure of Certain Information 
  
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.3, the General Partner may keep confidential from the Limited Partners
any information that the General Partner believes to be in the nature of trade secrets or other information the disclosure of which the General Partner in good faith believes is not in the best interest of the Partnership or which the Partnership is
required by law or by agreements with unaffiliated third parties to keep confidential. 
  
 ARTICLE 10. 
 TAX MATTERS 
  
 Section 10.1. Preparation of Tax Returns 
  
 The General Partner shall arrange for the preparation and timely filing of all returns of Partnership income, gains, deductions, losses and other items
required of the Partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and shall use all reasonable efforts to furnish, within 90 days of the close of each taxable year, the tax information reasonably required by Limited Partners for federal and
state income tax reporting purposes. Each Limited Partner shall promptly provide the General Partner with any information reasonably requested by the General Partner relating to any Contributed Property contributed (directly or indirectly) by such
Limited Partner to the Partnership. 
  
 Section 10.2. Tax Elections 
  
 Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall, in its sole
and absolute discretion, determine whether to make any available election pursuant to the Code, including the election under Section 754 of the Code. The General Partner shall have the right to seek to revoke any such election (including without
limitation, any election under Section 754 of the Code) upon the General Partner’s determination in its sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 Section 10.3. Tax Matters Partner 
  
 A. The General Partner shall be the “tax matters partner” of the Partnership for federal income tax purposes. Pursuant to Section 6223(c) of the
Code, upon receipt of notice from the IRS of the beginning of an administrative proceeding with respect to the Partnership, the tax matters partner shall furnish the IRS with the name, address and profit interest of each of the Limited Partners and
Assignees; provided, however, that such information is provided to the Partnership by the Limited Partners and Assignees. 
  
 B. The tax matters partner is authorized, but not required: 
  
 (1) to enter into any settlement with the IRS with respect to any administrative or judicial proceedings for the adjustment of Partnership items required
to be taken into account by a Partner for income tax purposes (such administrative proceedings being referred to as a “tax audit” and such judicial proceedings being referred to as “judicial review”), and in the settlement
agreement the tax matters partner may expressly state that such agreement shall bind all Partners, except that such settlement agreement shall not bind any Partner (i) who (within the time prescribed pursuant to the Code and Regulations) files a
statement with the IRS providing that the tax matters partner shall not have the authority to enter into a settlement agreement on behalf of such Partner or (ii) who is a “notice partner” (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) or a
member of a “notice group” (as defined in Section 6223(b)(2) of the Code); 
  

 -53- 

 (2) in the event that a notice of a final administrative adjustment at the Partnership level of any item
required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes (a “final adjustment”) is mailed to the tax matters partner, to seek judicial review of such final adjustment, including the filing of a petition for readjustment with the Tax
Court or the United States Claims Court, or the filing of a complaint for refund with the District Court of the United States for the district in which the Partnership’s principal place of business is located; 
  
 (3) to intervene in any action brought by any other Partner for judicial
review of a final adjustment; 
  
 (4) to file a request for an
administrative adjustment with the IRS at any time and, if any part of such request is not allowed by the IRS, to file an appropriate pleading (petition or complaint) for judicial review with respect to such request; 
  
 (5) to enter into an agreement with the IRS to extend the period for
assessing any tax which is attributable to any item required to be taken into account by a Partner for tax purposes, or an item affected by such item; and 
  
 (6) to take any other action on behalf of the Partners of the Partnership in connection with any tax audit or judicial review proceeding to the extent
permitted by applicable law or regulations. 
  
 (7) The taking of
any action and the incurring of any expense by the tax matters partner in connection with any such proceeding, except to the extent required by law, is a matter in the sole and absolute discretion of the tax matters partner and the provisions
relating to indemnification of the General Partner set forth in Section 7.7 shall be fully applicable to the tax matters partner in its capacity as such. 
  
 C. The tax matters partner shall receive no compensation for its services. All third party costs and expenses incurred by the tax matters partner in
performing its duties as such (including legal and accounting fees) shall be borne by the Partnership. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict the Partnership from engaging an accounting firm to assist the tax matters partner in discharging
its duties hereunder, so long as the compensation paid by the Partnership for such services is reasonable. 
  
 Section 10.4. Organizational Expenses 
  
 The Partnership shall elect to deduct expenses, if any, incurred by it in organizing the Partnership ratably over a 60-month period as provided in Section 709 of the Code. 
  
 Section 10.5. Withholding 
  
 Each Limited Partner hereby authorizes the Partnership to withhold from or pay on behalf of or with respect to such Limited Partner any amount of federal,
state, local, or foreign taxes that the General Partner determines that the Partnership is required to withhold or pay with 
  

 -54- 

 respect to any amount distributable or allocable to such Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any taxes required to be withheld or paid by the Partnership pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445 or 1446 of the Code. Any amount paid on behalf of or with respect to a Limited Partner shall constitute a receivable of the Partnership
from such Limited Partner, which receivable shall be paid by such Limited Partner within 15 days after notice from the General Partner that such payment must be made unless (i) the Partnership withholds such payment from a distribution which would
otherwise be made to the Limited Partner or (ii) the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that such payment may be satisfied out of the available funds of the Partnership which would, but for such payment, be distributed
to the Limited Partner. Any amounts withheld pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) shall be treated as having been distributed to such Limited Partner. Each Limited Partner hereby unconditionally and irrevocably grants to the Partnership a
security interest in such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interest to secure such Limited Partner’s obligation to pay to the Partnership any amounts required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.5. Any amounts payable by a Limited Partner
hereunder shall bear interest at the base rate on corporate loans at large United States money center commercial banks, as published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal, plus two percentage points (but not higher than the maximum lawful
rate) from the date such amount is due (i.e., 15 days after demand) until such amount is paid in full. Each Limited Partner shall take such actions as the Partnership or the General Partner shall request in order to perfect or enforce the security
interest created hereunder.

 Section 11.1. Transfer 
  
 A. The term “transfer,” when used in this Article 11 with respect to a Partnership Interest, shall be deemed to refer to a transaction by which
the General Partner purports to assign its General Partner Interest to another Person or by which a Limited Partner purports to assign its Limited Partner Interest to another Person, and includes a sale, assignment, gift (outright or in trust),
pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation, mortgage, exchange or any other disposition by law or otherwise. The term “transfer” when used in this Article 11 does not include any Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6
except as otherwise provided herein. No part of the Partnership Interest of a Limited Partner shall be subject to the claims of any creditor, any spouse for alimony or support, or to legal process, and may not be voluntarily or involuntarily
alienated or encumbered except as may be specifically provided for in this Agreement or consented to by the General Partner. 
  
 B. No Partnership Interest shall be transferred, in whole or in part, except in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 11. Any
transfer or purported transfer of a Partnership Interest not made in accordance with this Article 11 shall be null and void ab initio unless otherwise consented by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.

 Section 11.2. Transfer of General Partner’s Partnership Interest 
  
 A. The General Partner shall not withdraw from the Partnership and shall not
transfer all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership (whether by sale, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) without the Consent of the Limited Partners, which may be given or withheld by each Limited Partner in its
sole and absolute discretion, and only upon the admission of a successor General Partner pursuant to Section 12.1. Upon any transfer of a Partnership Interest in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, the transferee shall become a
Substitute General Partner for all purposes herein, and shall be vested with the powers and rights of the transferor General Partner, and shall be liable for all obligations and responsible for all duties of the General Partner, once such transferee
has executed such instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such admission and to confirm the agreement of such transferee to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement with respect to the Partnership Interest so acquired. It is
a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes, by operation of law or express agreement, all of the obligations of the transferor General Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred
Partnership Interest, and no such transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the transferor General Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall
relieve the transferor General Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the Consent of the Limited Partners, in their reasonable discretion. In the event the General Partner withdraws from the Partnership, in violation of this
Agreement or otherwise, or otherwise dissolves or terminates, or upon the Incapacity of the General Partner, all of the remaining Partners may elect to continue the Partnership business by selecting a Substitute General Partner in accordance with
the Act. 
  
 Section 11.3. Termination Transactions; Transfer of the
Company’s Ownership of the General Partner 
  
 A.
Termination Transactions. The Company shall not engage in any merger, consolidation or other combination with or into another person, sale of all or substantially all of its assets (“Termination Transaction”) unless either clause (a) or
(b) below is satisfied: 
  
 (a) in connection with such
Termination Transaction all Limited Partners either will receive, or will have the right to elect to receive, for each Partnership Unit an amount of cash, securities, or other property equal to the product of the REIT Shares Amount and the greatest
amount of cash, securities or other property paid to a holder of one REIT Share in consideration of one REIT Share at any time during the period commencing upon and continuing after the date on which the Termination Transaction is consummated; or

  
 (b) the following conditions are met: (i) substantially all
of the assets directly or indirectly owned by the surviving entity are held directly or indirectly by the Partnership or another limited partnership or limited liability company which is the survivor of a merger, consolidation or combination of
assets with the Partnership (in each case, the “Surviving Partnership”); (ii) the holders of Partnership Units own a percentage interest of the Surviving Partnership based on the relative fair market value of the net assets of the
Partnership and the other net assets of the Surviving Partnership immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction; (iii) the rights, preferences and privileges of such holders in the Surviving Partnership are at least as favorable as those
in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction and as those applicable to any other limited partners or non-managing members of the Surviving Partnership; and (iv) such rights of the Limited Partners include at least one of

  

 -56- 

 the following: (a) the right to redeem their interests in the Surviving Partnership for the consideration available to
such persons pursuant to Section 11.2.B(A); or (b) the right to redeem their Partnership Units for cash on terms equivalent to those in effect with respect to their Partnership Units immediately prior to the consummation of such transaction, or, if
the ultimate controlling person of the Surviving Partnership has publicly traded common equity securities, such common equity securities, with an exchange ratio based on the determination of relative fair market value of such securities and the REIT
Shares. 
  
 B. Transfer of the Company’s Ownership of the
General Partner. Except in connection with a Termination Transaction, the Company shall not directly transfer all or any portion of its interest in the General Partner (whether by sale, statutory merger or consolidation, liquidation or otherwise)
without the Consent of the Limited Partners (not including the Company), which may be given or withheld by each Limited Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. 
  
 Section 11.4. Limited Partners’ Rights to Transfer 
  
 A. Subject to Section 11.7, no Limited Partner shall transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to any
transferee without the consent of the General Partner, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that any Limited Partner may, at any time, without the consent of the General Partner, (i) transfer all or
any portion of its Partnership Interest to the General Partner, (ii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to an Affiliate, another original Limited Partner or to an Immediate Family Member, subject to the provisions of Section
11.7 and (iii) transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary or to a charitable foundation, subject to the provisions of Section 11.7. Each Limited Partner or Assignee (resulting from
a transfer made pursuant to clauses (i)-(iii) of the proviso of the preceding sentence) shall have the right to transfer all or any portion of its Partnership Interest, subject to the provisions of Section 11.7 and the satisfaction of each of the
following conditions (in addition to the right of each such Limited Partner or Assignee to continue to make any such transfer permitted by clauses (i)-(iii) of such proviso without satisfying either of the following conditions): 
  
 (1) Qualified Transferee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, except
with the Consent of the General Partner, any transfer of a Partnership Interest shall be made only to Qualified Transferees. 
  
 B. It is a condition to any transfer otherwise permitted hereunder that the transferee assumes by operation of law or express agreement all of the
obligations of the transferor Limited Partner under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Partnership Interest and no such transfer (other than pursuant to a statutory merger or consolidation wherein all obligations and liabilities of the
transferor Partner are assumed by a successor corporation by operation of law) shall relieve the transferor Partner of its obligations under this Agreement without the approval of the General Partner, in its reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any transferee of any transferred Partnership Interest shall be subject to any and all ownership limitations contained in the Charter and to the representations in Section 3.4.D. Any transferee, whether or not admitted as a
Substituted Limited Partner, shall take subject to the obligations of the transferor hereunder. Unless admitted as a Substitute Limited Partner, no transferee, whether by a voluntary transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, shall have any rights
hereunder, other than the rights of an Assignee as provided in Section 11.6. 
  

 -57- 

 C. If a Limited Partner is subject to Incapacity, the executor, administrator, trustee, committee,
guardian, conservator, or receiver of such Limited Partner’s estate shall have all the rights of a Limited Partner, but not more rights than those enjoyed by other Limited Partners, for the purpose of settling or managing the estate, and such
power as the Incapacitated Limited Partner possessed to transfer all or any part of his or its interest in the Partnership. The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership. 
  
 D. The General Partner may prohibit any transfer otherwise permitted under
Section 11.4 by a Limited Partner of his or her Partnership Units if, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, such transfer would require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act by the Partnership or would
otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations applicable to the Partnership or the Partnership Unit. 
  
 Section 11.5. Substituted Limited Partners 
  
 A. Except as otherwise provided below, no Limited Partner shall have the right to substitute a transferee as a Limited Partner in his or her place
(including any transferee permitted by Section 11.3). The General Partner shall, however, have the right to consent to the admission of a transferee of the interest of a Limited Partner pursuant to this Section 11.5 as a Substituted Limited Partner,
which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. The General Partner’s failure or refusal to permit a transferee of any such interests to become a Substituted Limited Partner shall not give rise
to any cause of action against the Partnership or any Partner. 
  
 B. A transferee who has been admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Article 11 shall have all the rights and powers and be subject to all the restrictions and liabilities of a Limited Partner under this Agreement.
The admission of any transferee as a Substituted Limited Partner shall be subject to the transferee executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation, the
provisions of Section 2.4 and such other documents or instruments as may be required to effect the admission), each in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner) and the acknowledgment by such transferee that each of the representations
and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such transferee as of the date of the transfer of the Partnership Interest to such transferee and will continue to be true to the extent required by such representations
and warranties. 
  
 C. Upon the admission of a Substituted Limited
Partner, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the name, address, number of Partnership Units, and Percentage Interest of such Substituted Limited Partner and to eliminate or adjust, if necessary, the name, address and interest of the
predecessor of such Substituted Limited Partner. 
  
 Section 11.6. Assignees

  
 If the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion,
does not consent to the admission of any permitted transferee under Section 11.4 as a Substituted Limited Partner, as 
  

 -58- 

 described in Section 11.5, such transferee shall be considered an Assignee for purposes of this Agreement. An Assignee
shall be entitled to all the rights of an assignee of a limited partnership interest under the Act, including the right to receive distributions from the Partnership and the share of Net Income, Net Losses, gain and loss attributable to the
Partnership Units assigned to such transferee, the rights to transfer the Partnership Units provided in this Article 11, the right of Redemption provided in Section 8.6, but shall not be deemed to be a holder of Partnership Units for any other
purpose under this Agreement, and shall not be entitled to effect a Consent with respect to such Partnership Units on any matter presented to the Limited Partners for approval (such Consent remaining with the transferor Limited Partner). In the
event any such transferee desires to make a further assignment of any such Partnership Units, such transferee shall be subject to all the provisions of this Article 11 to the same extent and in the same manner as any Limited Partner desiring to make
an assignment of Partnership Units. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition to becoming an Assignee, any prospective Assignee must first execute and deliver to the Partnership an acknowledgment that each
of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.4 are true and correct with respect to such prospective Assignee as of the date of the prospective assignment of the Partnership Interest to such prospective Assignee and will continue to
be true to the extent required by such representations or warranties. 
  
 Section
11.7. General Provisions 
  
 A. No Limited Partner may withdraw
from the Partnership other than as a result of (i) a permitted transfer of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Interests in accordance with this Article 11 and the transferee(s) of such Partnership Units being admitted to the Partnership
as a Substituted Limited Partner or (ii) pursuant to the exercise of its right of Redemption of all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units under Section 8.6; provided that after such transfer, exchange or redemption such Limited Partner
owns no Partnership Units. 
  
 B. Any Limited Partner who shall
transfer all of such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units in a transfer permitted pursuant to this Article 11 where such transferee was admitted as a Substituted Limited Partner or pursuant to the exercise of its rights of Redemption of all of
such Limited Partner’s Partnership Units under Section 8.6 shall cease to be a Limited Partner; provided that after such transfer, exchange or redemption such Limited Partner owns no Partnership Units. 
  
 C. Transfers pursuant to this Article 11 may only be made on the first day of
a fiscal quarter of the Partnership, unless the General Partner otherwise agrees. 
  
 D. If any Partnership Interest is transferred, assigned or redeemed during any quarterly segment of the Partnership’s fiscal year in compliance with the provisions of this Article 11 or transferred or redeemed
pursuant to Section 8.6, on any day other than the first day of a Partnership Year, then Net Income, Net Losses, each item thereof and all other items attributable to such Partnership Interest for such fiscal year shall be divided and allocated
between the transferor Partner and the transferee Partner by taking into account their varying interests during the fiscal year using a method selected by the General Partner that is in accordance with Section 706(d) of the Code. All distributions
of Available Cash with respect to which the Partnership Record Date is before the date of such transfer, assignment, exchange or 
  

 -59- 

 redemption shall be made to the transferor Partner, and all distributions of Available Cash thereafter, in the case of a
transfer or assignment other than an exchange or a redemption for REIT Shares, shall be made to the transferee Partner. 
  
 E. In addition to any other restrictions on transfer herein contained, including without limitation the provisions of this Article 11 and Section 2.6, in
no event may any transfer or assignment of a Partnership Interest by any Partner (including pursuant to a Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares pursuant to Section 8.6) be made (i) to any person or entity who lacks the legal right, power or
capacity to own a Partnership Interest; (ii) in violation of applicable law; (iii) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, of any economic component portion of a Partnership
Interest, such as the Capital Account, or rights to distributions, separate and apart from all other components of a Partnership Interest; (iv) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion, if in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership such transfer could cause a termination of the Partnership for federal or state income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares of all
Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners or pursuant to a transaction expressly permitted under Section 11.3); (v) if in the opinion of counsel to the Partnership such transfer could cause the Partnership to cease to be classified as a
partnership for federal income tax purposes (except as a result of the Redemption or exchange for REIT Shares of all Partnership Units held by all Limited Partners); (vi) if such transfer would cause the Partnership to become, with respect to any
employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, a “party-in-interest” (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or a “disqualified person” (as defined in Section 4975(c) of the Code); (vii) if such transfer would, in the opinion
of counsel to the Partnership, cause any portion of the assets of the Partnership to constitute assets of any employee benefit plan pursuant to Department of Labor Regulations Section 2510.2-101; (viii) if such transfer requires the registration of
such Partnership Interest pursuant to any applicable federal or state securities laws; (ix) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, if such transfer (1) could be treated as
effectuated through an “established securities market” or a “secondary market” (or the substantial equivalent thereof) within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code, (2) could cause the Partnership to become a “Publicly
Traded Partnership,” as such term is defined in Sections 469(k)(2) or 7704(b) of the Code or (3) could cause the Partnership to fail one or more of the Safe Harbors (as defined below); (x) if such transfer subjects the Partnership to be
regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisors Act of 1940 or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, each as amended; (xi) except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in
its sole discretion, if the proposed transferee or assignee of such Partnership Interest is unable to make the representations set forth in Section 3.4.C; (xii) if such transfer is made to a lender to the Partnership or any Person who is related
(within the meaning of Section 1.752-4(b) of the Regulations) to any lender to the Partnership whose loan constitutes a Nonrecourse Liability, except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be given or withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion; and provided, that, as a condition to granting such consent the lender may be required to enter into an arrangement with the Partnership and the General Partner to redeem or exchange for the REIT Shares 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; or (xiii) if in the opinion
of legal counsel for the Partnership such transfer could adversely affect the 
  

 -60- 

 ability of the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT or, except with the consent of the General Partner, which may be
given or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, subject the General Partner to any additional taxes under Section 857 or Section 4981 of the Code. 
  
 F. The General Partner shall monitor the transfers of interests in the Partnership to determine (i) if such interests are being traded on an
“established securities market” or a “secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code and (ii) whether such transfers of interests would result in the Partnership being
unable to qualify for the “safe harbors” set forth in Regulations Section 1.7704-1 (or such other guidance subsequently published by the IRS setting forth safe harbors under which interests will not be treated as “readily tradable on
a secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)” within the meaning of Section 7704 of the Code) (the “Safe Harbors”). The General Partner shall have the authority (but shall not be required) to take any steps it determines
are necessary or appropriate in its sole and absolute discretion to prevent any trading of interests which could cause the Partnership to become a “publicly traded partnership,” or any recognition by the Partnership of such transfers, or
to insure that one or more of the Safe Harbors is met.

 Section 12.1. Admission of Successor General Partner 
  
 A successor to all of the General Partner’s General Partner Interest pursuant to Section 11.2 who is proposed to be admitted as a successor General
Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership as the General Partner, effective upon such transfer. Any such transferee shall carry on the business of the Partnership without dissolution. In each case, the admission shall be subject to the successor

 ARTICLE 13. 
 DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION

  
 Section 13.1. Dissolution 
  
 The Partnership shall not be dissolved by the admission of Substituted
Limited Partners or Additional Limited Partners or by the admission of a successor General Partner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon the withdrawal of the General Partner, any successor General Partner (selected as described in
Section 13.1.B below) shall continue the business of the Partnership. The Partnership shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon the first to occur of any of the following (each a “Liquidating Event”): 
  
 A. an event of withdrawal of the General Partner, as defined in the Act,
unless, within 90 days after the withdrawal, all of the remaining Partners agree in writing, in their sole and absolute discretion, to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of the date of withdrawal, of a
substitute General Partner; 
  
 B. subject to compliance with
Section 11.2, an election to dissolve the Partnership made by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion; 
  
 C. consent to dissolution by all of the Partners; 
  

 -62- 

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

other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership or a related series of transactions that, taken together, result in the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership;

  
 F. a final and non-appealable judgment is entered by a court
of competent jurisdiction ruling that the General Partner is bankrupt or insolvent, or a final and non-appealable order for relief is entered by a court with appropriate jurisdiction against the General Partner, in each case under any federal or
state bankruptcy or insolvency laws as now or hereafter in effect, unless prior to the entry of such order or judgment all of the remaining Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and to the appointment, effective as of
a date prior to the date of such order or judgment, of a substitute General Partner. 
  
 Section 13.2. Winding Up 
  
 A. Upon the occurrence of a
Liquidating Event, the Partnership shall continue solely for the purposes of winding up its affairs in an orderly manner, liquidating its assets, and satisfying the claims of its creditors and Partners. No Partner shall take any action that is
inconsistent with, or not necessary to or appropriate for, the winding up of the Partnership’s business and affairs. The General Partner (or, in the event there is no remaining General Partner, any Person elected by a Majority in Interest of
the Limited Partners (the “Liquidator”)) shall be responsible for overseeing the winding up and dissolution of the Partnership and shall take full account of the Partnership’s liabilities and property and the Partnership property
shall be liquidated as promptly as is consistent with obtaining the fair value thereof, and the proceeds therefrom (which may, to the extent determined by the General Partner, include shares of stock in the Company) shall be applied and distributed
in the following order: 
  
 (1) First, to the payment and
discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to creditors other than the Partners; 
  
 (2) Second, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s debts and liabilities to the General Partner; 
  
 (3) Third, to the payment and discharge of all of the Partnership’s
debts and liabilities to the other Partners; 
  
 (4) Fourth, to
the payment and discharge of any preferred distributions to Preferred Unitholders (each such distribution reducing such Preferred Unitholder’s Capital Account); and 
  
 (5) Fifth, the balance, if any, to the General Partner, Common Unitholders and Preferred Unitholders in accordance with
their positive Capital Account balances, determined after taking into account all Capital Account adjustments for all prior periods and the Partnership taxable year during which the liquidation occurs (other than those made as a result of the
liquidating distribution set forth in this Section 13.2.A). 
  

 -63- 

 The General Partner shall not receive any additional compensation for any services performed pursuant to
this Article 13 other than reimbursement of its expenses as provided in Section 7.4. 
  
 B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2.A which require liquidation of the assets of the Partnership, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if prior to or upon dissolution of the
Partnership the Liquidator determines that an immediate sale of part or all of the Partnership’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss to the Partners, the Liquidator may, in its sole and absolute discretion, defer for a
reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy liabilities of the Partnership (including to those Partners as creditors) and/or distribute to the Partners, in lieu of cash, as tenants in common and in accordance with
the provisions of Section 13.2.A, undivided interests in such Partnership assets as the Liquidator deems not suitable for liquidation. Any such distributions in-kind shall be made only if, in the good faith judgment of the Liquidator, such
distributions in-kind are in the best interest of the Partners, and shall be subject to such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such properties as the Liquidator deems reasonable and equitable and to any agreements governing
the operation of such properties at such time. The Liquidator shall determine the fair market value of any property distributed in kind using such reasonable method of valuation as it may adopt. 
  
 Section 13.3. Capital Contribution Obligation 
  
 If any Partner has a deficit balance in his or her Capital Account (after
giving effect to all contributions, distributions and allocations for the taxable years, including the year during which such liquidation occurs), such Partner shall have no obligation to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership with
respect to such deficit, and such deficit at any time shall not be considered a debt owed to the Partnership or to any other Person for any purpose whatsoever, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed to by such Partner and the Partnership.

  
 Section 13.4. Compliance with Timing Requirements of Regulations 

 
 In the discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, a pro rata
portion of the distributions that would otherwise be made to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Article 13 may be: 
  
 (1) distributed to a trust established for the benefit of the General Partner and Limited Partners for the purposes of liquidating Partnership assets,
collecting amounts owed to the Partnership, and paying any contingent or unforeseen liabilities or obligations of the Partnership or of the General Partner arising out of or in connection with the Partnership. The assets of any such trust shall be
distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners from time to time, in the reasonable discretion of the Liquidator or the General Partner, in the same proportions and the amount distributed to such trust by the Partnership would otherwise
have been distributed to the General Partner and Limited Partners pursuant to this Agreement; or 
  
 (2) withheld or escrowed to provide a reasonable reserve for Partnership liabilities (contingent or otherwise) and to reflect the unrealized portion of
any installment 
  

 -64- 

 obligations owed to the Partnership, provided, that such withheld or escrowed amounts shall be distributed to the General
Partner and Limited Partners in the manner and priority set forth in Section 13.2.A as soon as practicable. 
  
 Section 13.5. Deemed Distribution and Recontribution 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, in the event the Partnership is liquidated within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(g) but no Liquidating Event has occurred, the
Partnership’s property shall not be liquidated, the Partnership’s liabilities shall not be paid or discharged, and the Partnership’s affairs shall not be wound up. Instead, the Partnership shall be deemed to have contributed all of
its assets and liabilities to a new partnership in exchange a for an interest in the new partnership. Immediately thereafter, the Partnership shall be deemed to distribute interests in the new partnership to the General Partner and Limited Partners
in proportion to their respective interests in the Partnership in liquidation of the Partnership. 
  
 Section 13.6. Rights of Limited Partners 
  
 Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Limited Partner shall look solely to the assets of the Partnership for the return of his Capital Contribution and shall have no right or power to demand or receive
property from the General Partner. 
  
 Section 13.7. Notice of Dissolution

  
 In the event a Liquidating Event occurs or an event occurs
that would, but for provisions of Section 13.1, result in a dissolution of the Partnership, the General Partner shall, within 30 days thereafter, provide written notice thereof to each of the Partners and to all other parties with whom the
Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined in the discretion of the General Partner) and shall publish notice thereof in a newspaper of general circulation in each place in which the Partnership regularly conducts business (as determined
in the discretion of the General Partner). 
  
 Section 13.8. Cancellation of
Certificate of Limited Partnership 
  
 Upon the completion of the
liquidation of the Partnership cash and property as provided in Section 13.2, the Partnership shall be terminated and the Certificate and all qualifications of the Partnership as a foreign limited partnership in jurisdictions other than the State of
Maryland shall be cancelled and such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Partnership shall be taken. 
  
 Section 13.9. Reasonable Time for Winding-Up 
  
 A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding-up of the business and affairs of the Partnership and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to
Section 13.2, in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding-up, and the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect between the Partners during the period of liquidation.

 Section 13.10. Waiver of Partition 
  
 Each Partner hereby waives any right to partition of the Partnership property.

proposed amendment or shall call a meeting to vote thereon and to transact any other business that it may deem appropriate. For purposes of obtaining a written consent, the General Partner may require a response within a reasonable specified time,
but not less than 15 days, and failure to respond in such time period shall constitute a consent which is consistent with the General Partner’s recommendation (if so recommended) with respect to the proposal; provided, that, an action shall
become effective at such time as requisite consents are received even if prior to such specified time. 
  
 Section 14.2. Action by the Partners 
  
 A. Meetings of the Partners may be called by the General Partner and shall be called upon the receipt by the General Partner of a written request by Limited Partners holding twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the Partnership Interests
held by Limited Partners. The notice shall state the nature of the business to be transacted. Notice of any such meeting shall be given to all Partners not less than seven days nor more than 30 days prior to the date of such meeting. Partners may
vote in person or by proxy at such meeting. Whenever the vote or Consent of the Limited Partners or of the Partners is permitted or required under this Agreement, such vote or Consent may be given at a meeting of Partners or may be given in
accordance with the procedure prescribed in Section 14.1. 
  
 B.
Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Partners may be taken without a meeting if a written consent setting forth the action so taken is signed by the percentage as is expressly required by this Agreement for the action in
question. Such consent may be in one instrument or in several instruments, and shall have the same force and effect as a vote of the Percentage Interests of the Partners (expressly required by this Agreement). Such consent shall be filed with the
General Partner. An action so taken shall be deemed to have been taken at a meeting held on the effective date so certified. 
  
 C. Each Limited Partner may authorize any Person or Persons to act for him by proxy on all matters in which a Limited Partner is entitled to participate,
including waiving notice of any meeting, or voting or participating at a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the Limited Partner or his attorney-in-fact. No proxy shall be valid after the expiration of 11 months from the date thereof unless
otherwise provided in the proxy. Every proxy shall be revocable at the pleasure of the Limited Partner executing it.

 D. Each meeting of Partners shall be conducted by the General Partner or such other Person as the General
Partner may appoint pursuant to such rules for the conduct of the meeting as the General Partner or such other Person deems appropriate. 
  
 E. On matters on which Limited Partners are entitled to vote, each Limited Partner shall have a vote equal to the number of Partnership Units held.

 EXHIBIT C 
  
 CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP DEFINITION 
  
 The term “Constructively Owns” means ownership determined through the application of the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the
Code, as modified by Section 856(d)(5) of the Code. Generally, these rules provide the following: 
  
 a. an individual is considered as owning the Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for his spouse, his children, his
grandchildren, and his parents; 
  
 b. an Ownership Interest that
is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a partnership, limited liability company or estate is considered as owned proportionately by its partners or beneficiaries; 
  
 c. an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a trust is considered as owned by its
beneficiaries in proportion to the actuarial interest of such beneficiaries (provided, however, that in the case of a “grantor trust” the Ownership Interest will be considered as owned by the grantors); 
  
 d. if ten (10) percent or more in value of the stock in a corporation is
owned, actually or constructively, by or for any person, such person shall be considered as owning the Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for such corporation in that proportion which the value of the stock which
such person so owns bears to the value of all the stock in such corporation; 
  
 e. an Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for a partner or member which actually or constructively owns a 25% or greater capital interest or profits interest in a partnership or limited
liability company, or by or to or for a beneficiary of an estate or trust shall be considered as owned by the partnership, limited liability company, estate, or trust (or, in the case of a grantor trust, the grantors); 
  
 f. if ten (10) percent or more in value of the stock in a corporation is
owned, actually or constructively, by or for any person, such corporation shall be considered as owning the Ownership Interest that is owned, actually or constructively, by or for such person; 
  
 g. if any person has an option to acquire an Ownership Interest (including an
option to acquire an option or any one of a series of such options), such Ownership Interest shall be considered as owned by such person; 
  
 h. an Ownership Interest that is constructively owned by a person by reason of the application of the rules described in paragraphs (a) through (g) above
shall, for purposes of applying paragraphs (a) through (g), be considered as actually owned by such person provided, however, that (i) an Ownership Interest constructively owned by an individual by reason of paragraph (a) shall not be considered as
owned by him for purposes of again applying paragraph (a) in order to make another the constructive owner of such Ownership Interest, (ii) an Ownership Interest constructively owned by a partnership, estate, trust, or corporation by reason of the
application of paragraphs (e) or (f) shall not be considered as owned by it for purposes of 
  

 C-1 

 applying paragraphs (b), (c), or (d) in order to make another the constructive owner of such Ownership Interest, (iii) if
an Ownership Interest may be considered as owned by an individual under paragraphs (a) or (g), it shall be considered as owned by him under paragraph (g), and (iv) for purposes of the above described rules, an S corporation shall be treated as a
partnership and any stockholder of the S corporation shall be treated as a partner of such partnership except that this rule shall not apply for purposes of determining whether stock in the S corporation is constructively owned by any person.

  
 i. For purposes of the above summary of the constructive
ownership rules, the term “Ownership Interest” means the ownership of stock with respect to a corporation and, with respect to any other type of entity, the ownership of an interest in either its assets or net profits.
